In Case OF Fire,

The season is at hand when fires most
prevail, and when the precautionary hints
of the late DR.. Hall are most important
to be needed. They are as follows:
Keep doors and windows Of the struct-
ure closed until the firemen come; put a
wet cloth over the mouth, and get down
on all fours in smoky room; open the
upper part of the window to get the
smoke out; if in theater, church, or
school-room, keep cool; descend lad
ders with o regular step, to prevent the
vibration.
If kerosene just purchased can be made
to burn III an open saucer by igniting
with match, throw it away.
Put wire work or glass shades over gas
lights in show windows and in bedrooms
with curtains: sprinkle sand instead of
sawdust on floors of oil stores; keep
shavings and kindling wood away from
steam boilers, and greasy rags from lofts,
cupboards, boxes, etc.; see that all
stovepipes enter well the chimney, and
that all lights and fires are ont before
retiring or leaving the place of business; !;
keep matches in metal or earthen ves-
sells, and out of the reach of children /;
and provide piece of stout rope long
enough to reach the ground in every
chamber.
Neither admit any one, if the house be
on fire, except police, firemen and known
neighbors; nor swing lighted gas brack-
cts against the wall; nor leave small chill
dren in room where there are matches
or an open fire; nor deposit ashes in u
wooden box or on the floor; nor use a
light in examining the gas meter.
Never leave clothes near the fireplace
to dry; nor smoke or read in bed by
candle or lamplight; nor put kindling
wood to dry on the top of the stove;
nor take light into closet; nor pour
out liquor i'll an open light; nor keep
burning or other inhammable fluids in
rooms where there is fire; nor allow
smoking about barns or warehouses. -

The English Farmer.

As reason why American farmers
ought to be contented, the Agricult,u-ist
gives this account of the farmer in
England "He does not own his land,
except in very rare instances, and is
obliged not only to pay yearly rental of
$40 to $25 per acre, but to keep the
hardly-workcd land in good condition, is
forced to employ working capital of at
least $50 an acre. to be expended ic
artificial fertilizers. He is prohibited
by law from killing wild animals, such
as rabbits, hares, foxes, partridges, and
pigeons, while his cats and dogs are
killed by his landlords gamekeeper,
lest they might injure tire game. This
game feeds on his crops, and he must
submit to see his fields sometimes raw
aged by them. He is obliged to raise
such crops as the landlord considers
best for the land. He is bound to all
these requirements by an exacting lease,
which makes him species OF serf to his
landlord"

Luigi Carnole TO the haunts of his race in the
city of New York, and was obliged 70 proceed
with greater caution from the fact that he ap-
pears to have been actuated by revenge in
the theft OF the pictures. Your Lordship
will be better able TO determine
than am whether this revenge
was loyal attachment to the palace of his
master, the Duke, and consequent rage at the
dispersion OF its works OF art 10 foreign lands,
or more strictly personal motive. He made
no effort here to sell the pictures as originals
t. dealers or private individuals, and after a
quarrel with some Of his countrymen he disap-
peared IN company with another italian. Pur-
suit led me across the plains To the Pacific,
where found the second Italian, a wandering
musician, only TO learn that he had parted with
Luigi Carnole six months before in the CITY OF
New Haven. In the latter place he had lived in
poverty and bad health and was able to fol-
low his steps TO my present locality, where he

Mrs. Platt sat in her best parlor, her
eyes swollen with weeping, and the cur
tains drawn to exclude the curious
glances OF Stoneport. She held fast the
hands of her son and Charlotte Eaton,
and trembled at the stroke of the clock.
The young people gaz ed sadly at each
other across the black figure of the
mother, who was attired as if for
funeral. Would Hiram briggs relent,
and give them more time9 Was it not
probable that he would appear and claim
ALL The young man could only chafe
at his own helplessness in the emergency
and inability to protect his own.
The sound Of flying feet made them
all listen. Mrs. Bamber, breathless and
without a bonnet, rushed into the parlor
and cast leather purse down in Mrs.
Platt's lap.
"Oh, you needn't count it I've done
so dozen times already. Here's 50, 600,
and the house is saved"
Between laughter and tears she ex-
planned her unexpected wealth, and re.
stored it to the wife of her benefactor of
years ago. Then a shadow crossed her
face, just dimming its brightness for
moment. Much could have been done to
advance the interests of Bamber's Drops,
and place the remedy properly before an
enlightened public, with the aid of this
money, She plucked Charley's sleeve in
the midst of the thanks which overpow-
cred all coherent speech, and said, trem-
ulously:
"You will not forget the Drops when
you receive your diploma, will you,
Charley"
"Neither the Drops nor my debt"
returned Charley, in an unsteady voice.
Then Mrs. Bamber, through mist of
tears, saw Charlotte Eaton rise, tall and
proud, and take the purse from Mrs.
Platt for Hiram briggs stood on the
threshold.
Thus a very humble little woman
placed her gift on the altar of the New
Year. -Harper's WeeklS.

A very curious case recently reported
from st. Mary's Hospital may serve as a
valuable caution to early risers and to
conscientious publicans. This man, a
cab washer, had completely lost the use
of his upper extremities, while his voice
was reduced to the merest whisper. On
being questioned, he stated that, as he
usually finished his work just as the
public houses opened, he always had the
very first glass of beer or gin that was
served in the morning-that is to say,
the liquor which had remained all night
in the draw-pipe in contact with lead.
His gums showed the well-known blue
line indicative of lead poisoning, and
other confrmatory symptoms existed
which need not be detailed here. Some
of the gin which he drank every morn
ing having been procured and tested,
gave 1-430th of grain per fluid ounce.
He was ultimately cured by the use of
iodide of potassium and galvanic baths.

A Thrilling Tragedy.

L. S. Hill, an old and highly respected
citizen of Shelby comfy, Tenn, was re-
Gently shot and silled by Galley Bond
under the following circumstances:
Bond had been paying attention to Hills
daughter, a mere girl of IA years of age,
and visited Mr.. Hill an hour before the
shooting, and after some conversation he
went off saying that ne would return in
an hour. Bond went to his own house.
procured double barreled shotgun, re-
turned to Mr.. Hill, and shot him through
the door of his own house, firing five
pistol balls through his body after he
fell from the first shot. After seeing
that his victim was down and dead, he
seized the young lady, actually dragging
her over the dead body of her father, and
carried her by force before aneighboring
minister and demanded to be married to
her. The girl refused, when Bond
threatened to kill her. The minister's
wife called Bonds attention to the ap-
proach OF posse in pursuit OF him. At
this time some neighbors rode up to the
minister's house, when the young lady
was taken from her captor and locked up
in room secure from any possibility of
his carrying ont his threat to kill her.
Bond had been riding all the night pre-
vious, and had so jaded his horse that he
required another on which to make his
escape. This he accomplished by de-
liberately shooting one Of the horsemen,
so woulding him that ne fell from his
horse, which he mounted and rode to
the residence OF Mr.. Parsons, few miles
distant, and made forcibie exchange
for fine gray animal, on which he was
last seen riding westward toward the
Mississippi river, making good his escape
far from all pursuers.

THE OLD YEAR.
BY VIOLET FULLER.

Now the gray Old Year is dying
Sadly winter winds are signing
Round him sad and low;
Fast his sands of life are falling
Voices from the shadows calling,
sold Year, thou must got"
Old Year, there was cause for grieviny
In the life which thou art leaving,
Cause for bitter tears
Tears for many promise broken,
Tears for words unkindly spoken
In beloved ears.
Friends have failed us, hopes have perishs
Precious hopes most fondly cherished,
all with thee have gone.
Though the past has thus bereft rs,
May the future that ia left us
For the past atone.
oh, the years that have been wasted
All earth's pleasures have been tasted
Pleasures that beBuile-
But with wild, unspoken longing
For the purer visions thronging
Round us all the while.
Friends, when time hath ceased forever.
And from soul the body sever,
In that awful day
Can we meet the dead years faces,
Bearing of our lives the traces
Ne'er to pass away?
Carved as IL in stone, revealing
Every hidden thought, concealing..
Naught OF good or ILL
Hear the Old Year gently pleading,
oh, my soleran teachings needing,
Time is left ye still !"
For the gray Old Year is dying,
Sadly winter winds are signing
Round his aged head;
Fast the sands Of life are falling,
Voices from the shadows calling,
An I the Year is dead
