A Singular Case of Restoration of the
-..- @ Voice,

Last Februry train on the p G. and
St. L., under Conductor John Crawford,
was snow bound for twenty-four hours
near Remington. The conductor, of
course, doing all he could to relieve his
train of the icy incubus upon it, worked
faithfully in the snow during the time
the journey was delayed. A spell Of
sickness resulted, on recovering from
which Mr.. Crawford found himself I'M
able to speak above whisper. In this
unpleasant state the gentleman has been
until last Tuesday. He has been i'll for
the past few days, and on Tuesday
evening last was taken with avery
severe spell of vomiting, lasting con-
siderable length of time. On finishing
his attack of sickness at the stomach,
Mr.. Crawford and those about him in
the room were thunder struck TO hear
him ask for some little service in his
Uld-time rihgingvoice. Nature, inscruta-
BILE as ever in the performance of her
mysteries, had returned unto him his
voice while he was undergoing thespell
of vomiting. 1t is needless to add that
John and his host of friends are jubi-
liant at his happy relief, and the Star
joins them in congratulations.-LOg Gns-.

Pooling with a RattIesnake.

2 A man named Nutter was bitten by a
rattlesnake a few days ago in Sherwood
Valley while out fishing. The snake
was crawling in its hole, and Nutter's
companion suggested what sport it
would be to tie a fish line TO the reptile's
tail and drag it home. Taken with the
fancy, Nutter undertook the tying job
The snake instantly turned and bit one
of his fingers. First the pair Killed the
snake, and then started for home to get
whisky. On the way the wounded man
suffered great pain, and his whole arm
was fearfuiiy swollen. at last accounts
he was getting better.-MsndOcir'O (Cai.

It is a good sign when a man is proud Of
his work or his calling. Yet nothing is
more common than to hear men finding
fault constantly with their particular bust
ness. and deeming themselves unfortunate
because fastened TO it by the necessity Of
gaining a livelihood. In this men fret. and
laboriously destroy all their comfort in
the work or they change their business.
and go on miserably. shifting from one
thing to another till tho grave or the poor
house gives them n fast grip. But while
occasionally a man fails in life because he
il not in the place fttei 10 his peculiar
talent. it happens ten times oftener that
failure results from neglect and even con-
tempt of an honest business.
A nan should put his heart into every
thing that he does. There is no profession
that has not its peculiar cares and vexations.
No man will escape annoyance by changing
his business. No mechanical business ia
altogether agreeable. Commerce. in all it's
varieties. ia affected, like all other pursuits.
with trials. urwelcome duties. spirit firing
necessities. It IS the very wantonness of
folly for a man to search ont the frets and
burdens Of his calling and give his mind
every day to consideration Of them. They
are inevitable.
Brooding over them only gives then,
strength. On the other hand q ioan has
power given him to shed beauty and pleas
ure on the homliest thing, If he is only wise.
Let a man adopt his business and identify
it with pleasant associations for Heaven
has given US imagination. not only TO make
US poets, but to enable all men to b~eautify
homely things. Heart varnish will cover
up inhumerable evils and defects. Look at
the good things. Accept your lot as a man
does a piece Of rough gtound, and begin to
get out the rocks and roots. to deepen and
mellow the soil. t. enrich and plant it.
There is something in the forbidding avo-
cation around which u ma may Irvine
pleasant ~fancies. ont of which he may de.
velop an honest pride.

His Little Grocery.

He was a clean-looking colored man OF
advanced age. and when he entered a whole

politely informed him that the situation Of
