it, and occupied all her time in making
small donations, she could not give it
all away during her lifetime. Suppose
her to be worth $50, 200, 900, and to dis
burse only the interest, she could get
rid of $4,000 a day, or $1,000 every
working hour. In other words, she
could ~perpetually give away S16 a min

counted out $3.50 a second. In 500

NEVADA, Iowa, has Just had a move,

NEVADA, Iowa, has just had a novel
experience in the breach-of-promise
line, a young lady of the town having
recovered judgment against the estate
of a deceased person, the alleged break
er of the marriage promise. 1t was
shown ON the trial that the deceased, an
elderly man, had committed suicide up
on being applied TO by the youthful
plaintiff to perform his vows; and the
court held that the suicidal act under
the circumstances was a deliberate
breach of promise for which his estate
might be held liable. There was no plea
of insanity in the case.

Their sounding sickles sway;
At every stroke the golden sea
Recedes 10 give them wav;
The heavy ears fall bowling down,
And nestled at their feet.
Such viii, such work as theirs, perforce,
Must win-must homage meet.

So true, so steadily,

Leans DER the gate To- see;
with marvel OF the soon fallen breadth,
The lounging gossjps tell;
But the Teapers labor for rs all;
lis need they should work well.
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson in the west,
And the children's poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down to rest,
Each golden spear that upwards points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain a sparkling glass,
Rejoicing DER the yield.
Ply. bonny men, your sckles bright,
And give the people bread
At every couqueriHg stride you take.
On want and woe you tread.
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered from this plain,
That man may rise, refreshed aud firm,
And do great things again.
God bless the hands. all hard and brown
That guide the cleaving pIow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy NOW;
They rear the bread our children cat;
It's by their toll we live;
Uurraht give them the lUudeSt cheer
That grateful hearts can give.

From the New York Evening Post.l
For the information of large
number of our correspondents who
have manifested great interest in
the attempt of little Sunday-school
girl of this city to collect 100000
of cancelled postage stamps before
the first Of July, we are able to say
that their kindly offered assistance
is not needed. The little girl is Ger
tain to collect a great many more
than the required number of stamps
by the time specified, and thus to
secure her promised annuity. 1t
may be Of interest to persons who
regard it as a well-nigh impossible
task to collect million of defaced
postage stamps within a few weeks
TO know that we have had stamps to
the number of nearly a million of
fered to us within less than a week
for this little girl--one correspondent
alone offering to give her 100000
at once, and a well-known business
firm of this city promising from
1000 to 5000 a week for any length
of time
