The SCRAP -BOOK.-Every one who
takes newspaper which he in the least
degree appreciates, will often regret to
see any one number which contains some
interesting and important articles thrown
aside for waste paper. A good way to
preserve these is by the use of scrap
book. One who has never been accus-
toned thus to preserve short articles, can
hardly realize the pleasure it affords to
sit down and turn over the pleasant, fam
iliar pages. Here piece of poetry
meets the eye, which you would long
since have lost had it not been for your
scrap book. There is witty anecdote-
it does good to laugh over it yet, al
though it may be for the twentieth time,
Next is a valuable recipe you had almost
forgotten, and which you found just in
time to save much perplexity. There is
sweet little story, the memory of which
has cheered and encouraged you when al
most ready to despair under the pressure
of life's cares. Indeed, you can hardly
take up single paper without re-perus-
ing. Then hoard with care the precious
gems, aud see at the end of the year what
rich treasure you will have accumu-
lated. ..

FARMING vs. PRoFEssI0N.--T Maine
Mirror gives the testimony of New
Hampshire boy, now resident Of Wis.
consin, fine scholar, a graduate Of Dart
mouth, and law student in Merrimae
County, who, just previous to his admis-
sion to the bar, took severe cold, which
rendered him very deaf, and no medical
skill was able to restore his hearing. The
afliction compelled him to give up his
chosen profession, and he went West
very much broken down in spirits. For
ten years he has been farming, cultivating
about two hundred acres of prairie land,
and, as he expressed it, making a good
living and sailing down something every
year. And he declares that if, knowing
what he now knows, he was to begin his
active life over again, he would do just as
he was compelled to do so unwiliingly
ten years ago; that is, he would throw
aside his profession and settle down upon
farm. Said he "There isn't much
glory on farm, but you get a good sure
living. You are your own master; You
can't starve or be turned out of business ;
and as far as the work is concerned, in
these days of horse power man needn't
kill himself farming any more than at
any other business. 1t Is brains that win
on farm, as well as everywhere else,
and the smart man is going to ride, while
the stupid one goes afoot, in the corn
field as we'll as in the bar or pulpit. l
should like to have my hearing again,
but wouldn't leave my farm if bad it."

paign Of Sheridan in the Valley of
the Shenandoah, and was raised to a
Brigadler on the field of battle. At
times during lull in active opera
tions, Mrs. Hayes visited her hus-
band in camp, and passed much Of
her time while there in comforting
and caring for the sick and wounded.
While in the field General Hayes
was elected to Congress and was re-
elected, and since has three times
been elected Governor. His career
has now been crowned by the Chief
Magistracy of the Republic. The
few months which have elapsed
since the introduction of President
Hayes into the high office he now
holds have served to show that his
official administration will be with
out extreme measures on either side,
and will be given to close applica-
ton to business.
Mrs. Hayes, upon assuming the
duties of hostess at the Executive
Mansion, gave two Saturday after
noon receptions, which were design
ed particularly to enable those who
desired to extend their congratula-
tions. The President also received
the highest officers of the govern
ment, the army and the navy. The
receptions given by Mrs. Hayes, and
the State dinner to the Russian
Dukes Alexis and Constantine were
entertainments worthy of the most
brilliant days of the Executive Man
sion. 1t may be anticipated without
extravaganza that under the admins
tration OF Mrs. Hayes, the social sur
roundings of the home of the Chief
Magistrate will meet with the ap-
plause of the whole land, and will
not only be an ornament to the civil
administration of her distinguished
husband, but will be an honor to the
dignity and refinement of republican
institution and the grandeur of an
elective Executive.

ed, Hester lay in it with no change
in her appearance. The surgeon
touched the brow and the hands,
then he held a small pocket-mirror
before her mouth.
The glass was undimmed.
He shook his head; the case was
hopeless.
"One moment" cried Mark. "Put
your hand under the arm and see if
there is the same chill there as on
the brow"
With difficulty the direction was
carried out. The same chilliness
was not there; TO decide the point
the silken bodice was cut away in
order to feel the heart.
There was no pulsation. 'Try
under the arm again." pleaded Mark
earnestly.
The surgeon pushed his hand
slowly along; then he paused, and
visibly startled, exclalming eagerly:
''Therc IS warmth here! By
Heavens, she is not deadv'
'"Now see here" said Mark. He
lifted her right hand, Strengthening
the elbow, and pointing the fingers
in the opposite direction. After
which he withdrew his hold of the
arm, and it remained precisely in
the same position.
"Hurrah, Mark! It's nothing, aft
er all, but cataleptic fit. Let us
take her home at once"
Hester Kyrle recovered conscious
ness after a deal of suffering; but
the utmost skill and devotion were
requisite to cure her. When at last
her cheek bloomed again with the
roses of health, and strength came
to her frame, she gave her life right
willingly into the keeping ofits pre-
server, and Mark Wymer won his
bride from the very jaws of death.

ONE of the seemingly most important
topics that has engaged the attention of our
Territorial press for some time past has
been the Governor and Secretaryship. Some
of our contemporaries have devoted much
space to the subject, and all have engaged
more or less in the fight. AS for us, feeling
no especial interest in the removal of either
officer, We have taken no part in the contro=
versy. Governor Potts and Secretary Cal
laway are both gentlemen, az private citizens,
and we know nothing to urge against their
official acts. Capt. Mills is also Il true geh-
tlenun and very deserving. If he is as site
cessful with the Office as he has been in coh-
Quoting the New North West-and we have
no doubt he will be-he cannot fail to give
satisfaction. The people are long since tired
of the controversy, and will rejoice that the
matter is settled.

SINCE our last issue the intelligence of the
sad fate of Merritt G. Page, Z. S. District
Attorney, has reached us. 1t appears that
Col. w. F. Sanders and Mr.. Page who were
en- route to Pony in a buggy, undertook to
ford the Madison river II miles below Hay
woods bridge. When near the shore they
turned down the stream with a view to find
a better landing, when the buggy capsized,
throwing them out into the water. Aban-
doning the buggy and team, they both made
for the shore, Mr.. Page losing his life in the
attempt, and Mr.. Sanders barely escaping
the same fate.
Mr.. Page was born in the State of New
York, was highly educated, being a grada-
ate of Yale College. From our acquaintance
with him we found him to be Il gentleman
of culture, prompt and .exacting in his bust
ness affairs, though generous and kind
hearted towards those whom he deemed his
friends. He was always jovial and sociable,
and his ready wit made him very compan-
ionable. He was a humorous writer, and
his productions are very creditable. He
leaves an aged father and mother, of whom
he was the only son, and two loving sisters
to mourn his sad, untimely death.

MORALITIE.S OF GAMBLING.
Brooklyn Eagle.l

Tho fact is tina, the proprietary
gambler, like Morrisscy, is. il the
sense OF the term, 90 gambler at all.
He simply provides the means for
other men to gamble without TAX
ing any risk himself. ard he receives
his profits with precisely the same
certainty that the broker has or the
merchant who sells on commission.
he provides a tabieand implements
If it is faro, his business is to take
and pay bets made between the
players, rcserving to himself the
profits of splits which recur wi h
certainty that is marked with a
fixed percentage. His risk is
most nothing, his certainty Of gain
fixed.
There are few live men who have
not at some time bet money. The
practice of gaming in a small way
is almost as common in a communi-
ty as that Of eating. All classes,
except a few conscientiously strict.
play the national game of poker.
No disgrace or reproach is implied
in it. We do not argue that pro
viding a gambling house, as Nor
rissey does, is not rcprehcnsiblc. Ii
is highly so. The law forbids it
and the Hon. John is called fright:
full names because he breaks the
law, and does it openly. Yet peo
pie who thus characterize him
should remembe: that after all it is
not Morrissey who breaks the law,
but the neu who patroEize his house,
and in obedience to the demands Of
whom his house is open.
The writer has seen at one time
in Mcrrisseys gambling house three
clergymen, interested spectators Of
the game Of faro. They thought
they wesc incogni,o. One was a
professor In a well-known college.
Another the principal Of large
seminary. a third was and is the
pastor Of thriving church. They
were not-thcre simply for the pur-
pose of learning the facts of what
they would depounce. They re-
manned too long and exhibited too
keen an interest in the game and
the excitement. Their names shall
be kept a sacred secret. But by
their presence there, through mos
tives of curiosity, they were parta.
