George Scroggs, Of the Champaign
Ga,eite, pays the following beautiful
tribute to his dead wife:
"Thus has gone out life which
hereafter will live only in memory.
We fain would have kept her, but our
hands were powerless. If earth is
sadder for the loss Of one so loved and
loving, heaven must certainly he
brighter and more joyous. That she
passed through the gate beautiful, we
firmly believe, and that she to-day
walks in paradise. among the birds
and flowers and in the full enjoyment
of its beauties and glories, we conf
IDENTIFY hope. And we think that
along the invisible strings which
stretch from the hearts of her friends
to the newly-made grave in the acre
of God, and thence heavenward, vii
come songs in the night watches anC
pulses of music we shall recognize,
and, recognizing, become better. And
TO all who sit in the shadow of thi
bereavement, may there come conso
lation and the gift of the tender pit.
of the Great Father who stretches hi
hands in infinite tenderness and bless
ings over all bowed heads and darker
ed homes, and in benison over all bed
Of suffering.

HIRISG HORSES. THE TuJ, Field
and Farm says that it has been deci-
ded that when horse and carriage is
LET out for hire, for the purpose of
performing a particular journey. the
party letting warrants the horse and
carriage fit and competent for such a
journey. Ie the hirer treats the horse
and carriage as any prudent man
would do, he is not answerable for
any damages either may receive. But
he must use the horse for the purpose
for which he hired him. For in
stance. a hore hired for saddle must
not be used for harness. If the hirer
violates this expressed condition Of
the contract he is liable for any dana
ges that may occur. II the horse il
stolen through the hirer's negligence
such as leaving the stable door oPer
all night, he must answer for it. Blu
if he is robbed of it by highwaymen
when travelling the usual hours, h
cannot be held for damages. As thes'
questions are frequently in dispute,
is not out of place to shed littl
light upon them.

CAUGHT BY HER BACK HAIR
Celia Flahorty is Rochester girl of
SO numerous disposition that her in
climatic. to play jokes amounts near
" to mania. She ordered csal to be

night searches for imaginary patients.
At length the police resolved to catch
her at her pranks. A detective opened
correspondence, and begged her to
give him her picture. She sent q
photograph of the back Of her head,
surprising that it could not be recog

On last Friday, Frank Walton,
whose late lamented and loving wife
had departed this life two or three
long weeks ago, leaving two little
children on his hands, concluded he
would get some one to take care OF
them, and with that object in view,
selected Miss Nancy A. Crawford. He
procured his license and sought Mr..
WIN. Kennedy to tie the knot, which
was promptly done. After Mr.. Ken
nedy had pronounced them man and
wife, Frank turned to the crowd aud
said THAT was id easily done,
wasn't it," He then entered Into ne
gotiations for the payment of the
minister, and said he would bring Mr.,
Kennedy load of wood if he would
pay the difference, which was accept
ed, under the circumstance. The
wood has not been deiivercd as yet
