approached the side of the shaft. Once,
twice, thrice, he felt the cold icy face OF
the "tubbing,' but as yet nothing except
Shiny boards met his grasp, atfording
no more hold than the CLASSY side Of an
iceberg. At last he touched Il cross.beam,
to which his iron muscles, now fully
reused to their work, held on like wise.
He soon found footing on the beam
below, and then letting go the treach-
erous rope, rested in comparative security
before beginning the perious ascent.
With incredible endurance of nerve and
muscle he cambered up alongside the
guider, by the aid of the cross. beams,
and by thrustiug his hands through the
crevices of the timber. In this manner
he reached the opening in shaft B, where
the cage in which he had descended was
waiting. Chilled, cramped, and frozen,
and barely able to give the signal, he WAS
drawn to the plymouth PROSTATE and ex'
hausted. The boy was rescued unhurt
by man being lowered to the top of the
cages in shaft A. johnson suffered no
ill consequences, and though hero above
many known to fame, he still pursues
his hardy task as a shaftman; while be-
meath the homely exterior still lives the
pluck and sinew Of iron that did not fail
him even in his fearful swing-Cham-

An Odd Affair.

A correspondent of the Golden Ruel
tells humorous story of what happened
to lady at dinner party in Western
city. Seeing that the gentleman who
handed her in to dinner was not of lit
erary turn, the lady, good conversation
alist, entertained him by talking of hunt
ing, dogs, horses and fishing. The man
was entertained and the lady exhausted.
1t was not many days after that she
encountered the same gentleman at an
other dinner-party, and 10 and behold !!
it again fell to her lot to 60 to dinner
with him. Turning frankly to him when
they were about to be seated, she said:
"Mr. So.and-so, you know quite we'll
that we have talked up every subject
which would mutually interest us. Come,
| propose that instead of talking (since
for the sake of our hosts we must appear
happy and pleased with each other), we
begin and count like this: One, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, and then
laugh and the other take it up and go
on ia the same way"
She had counted nearly up to fifty be-
fore he saw the joke, when suddenly he
let forth a perfect roar of laughter, and
catching up the idea, went on-one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
etc, until she had to laugh in spite of
herself, and they began to be the envy OF
the whole table, and were pressed with
queries as to what so amused them.
The lady told this in the presence of
another bright woman, who lives in quite
another part Of the country. They both
happened to be in New York on visit.
The story pleased her very much. She
went home, and being at a dinner-party
herself, she narrated it, producing peals
Of laughter from everybody but a single
gentleman. He did not even smile.
Their hostess at last cried out;
"Why, John, by your looks l should
think it had been you!"
With an indescribable expression he
answered, softly
at was"
This is true tale.

Anecdote of David Barton.

Only few of the oldest citizens OF
Missouri remember Senator David Barton,
one of our first and greatest statesmen
Barton came of very humble parents, his
father and grandfather having been shoe
makers; but, humble and lowly as they
were, they gave to their illustriOus de-
scendant an untarnisbed name and Wig
orous manhood, that stimulated and en-.
couraged him in the battle Of life which
ended not only in placing him in the
United States Senate, but in giving him
prominent and leading position in that
body. Like the true and noble man that
he was, it can be Said to his credit, and
truthfully, that this worlds honors never
turned his head, nor made him the least
ashamed of his parents.
He was the contemporary of John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, the eccentric Vigin-
ian who boasted of being descendant
of Pocabontas, the Indian Princess. Bar
ton and Randolph had many sharp de-
bates in the Senate, in one of which the
wit and sarcasm of the Virginian were
hurled back with crushing effect.
Barton had risen to point of order
during fierce debate between Randolph
and some one else. at which the gentle
man from Virginia took offense. Dart
ting fierce look at Barton, he suddenly
turned his back upon him and addressed
the Speaker. He said:
"Mr. President: The gentleman from
Missouri is out of order. His remarks
are not pertinent; no more so than my
question would be were | to ask him
what became of his grandmother,s leath-
er apron" Laughter.l
Barton smothered his anger, and re.
torted in a dignifed, gentlemanIy man.
ner, in pleasing contrast to the sharp
rasping tones Of Randolph. He said:
"The gentleman goes out of the way to
allude TO a matter wholly irrelevant to
the question before this body, in the hope
no doubt, Of crushing me with shame
The poisoned shaft, So tiercely aimed, has
missed its mark. | still live to say to
this scoffer at humble worth that l glory
in being the grandson Of man who not
only wore leather apron, but, in the
hour of his country,s peril, shouldered his
musket and fought for the liberties we
now enjoy. Cheers.l Asto the fate of
his leather apron, cannot speak positive
ly, but we have family tradition that it
was lost during the Indian war-I say
lost out of respect for the gentleman's feel
ings. Were to speak in palmer Ian
guage, would say it was stoIsn,2for such
according to the tradition, was the fate
of the leather apron. The gentleman's
grand stole that apron and con-
verted it into breach-clout laughter and
applausel, showing by this act that she
possessed one virtue which her noble de-
scendant does not-Me Oirtue of shame"

Don't Fret.

Don't fret, don't! You cannot afford
to, any more than farmer can afford to
SOW his garden with noxious weeds. Look
in your mirror the next time you are fret
ting, worrying, brooding over something
gone entirely wrong, that should have
gone entirely right. Do you recognize
yourselfl Lines between eyes that look
gloomily into yours, eyes out of which
the glad sparkle is departed, lips com
pressed into a hard, unlovely look, and Il
dark shadow resting upon the whole
countenance. Can you afford to see that
face oftenl Can you afford to let your
friends see itl
No true woman ever lived, however
plain-looking, but way down in her fool.
ish little heart, unconfessed perhaps to
any one, lurked desire for beauty. PeO-
pie may sneer at it all they choose, we
know beauty is subtle charm before
which the world bows. Queens have
sighed for it, the great heart of Char.
lotte Cushman craved it, one and all wish
for it. And a natural desire it is, not
implanted by vanity, merely, but by that
recognition of the beautiful that our
Father endowed us with, when in his low
ing kindness he gave US so many beauties
of his creation to enjoy.
There are but few to whom the thought
of growing old is not painful. The
young girl thinks of being fifty years old
with repugnance; she does not think, if
she is not better looking in every sense
of the word at fifty, than at twenty, it is
her own fault, and perhaps might open
her pretty eyes very wide at the idea.
Ah my dear girls, the cosmetics you need
are not to be purchased they are not
labelled "lilywhite, or "bloom of youth"
Your deeds, and words, and your very
thoughts, are day by day touching your
fair faces into ripper, purer, sweeter lines
or gradually making them coarse, gross
and duh. The change may be impercep-
tible to you, but Time, the busy sculptor,
is increasingly at his work. You can be
beautiful if your face is not; true soul
beauty casts a flash of its own brightness
upon the plainest face, illuminating it
with something akin to the look all shall
wear that awake into the likeness and
actual presence of their Saviour.
One of the greatest enemies to true
loveliness is fretting. Our American
women, or many Of them, before mar
riage lead lives that totally unfit them for
physical exertion. They are reared under
the hot-bed system, and their mental pow
ers cultivated IN exclusion of all else.
They see nothing but the sunny side of
life, and are taught little of self.reliance,
without which, ones life often proves "a
miserable failure, and then, ere they are
scarcely out of the school-room they give
their fresh young hearts and lives, into
hands but human like their own, and
sometimes there are sad Mistakes hard
lessons, and bitter experiences in store for
them. How they meet life's troubles and
vexatiOns their faces in after years tell

A Good Story of Kind-Hearted Old
Man.

A young pianist was giving concerts
through the provinces of Germany for
her support, and to enhance her reputa-
ton she advertised herself as pupil of
Liszt. In little town in the interior of
Germany, where she had announced
concert, she was confounded the day
before the concert was to take place
by seeing in the list of arrivals and
at the same hotel where the concert
was to be given, IN. Liable Liszt."
Here was dilemma, and what to
do she knew not. Her fraud would
be discovered; she would be exposed ;
she could never give another concert;
she was ruined.
Tremblingly she sought the presence
Of the great maestro, determined to make
a clean breast of it, and cast herself on
his mercy. Coming into his room with
downcast eyes, she knelt at the old mans
feet, and with many tears told her story
how she had been left an orphan and
poor, with only her one gift of music
with which to support herself; the diff
culties she had encountered, until the
fraudulent use of his great name had
filled her rooms and her purse. "Well,
well" said the great man, gently raising
her up, "let us see, my child, what we
can do. Perhaps it is not so bad as you
thought. There is a piano; let me hear
one of the pieces you expect to play
tomorrow evening"
Tremblingly she obeyed, the maestro
making comments and suggestions as she
played, and when she had finished he
added: "Now, my child, l have given
you a lesson; you are pupil of List"
Before she could find words to express
her gratitude Liszt asked: "Are your
programmes printedl" mo, sir" was
tue answer, "not yet "Then say that
you will be assisted by your master, and
that the last piece on the programme will
be played by the Able Thanksgiving

If Mrs Fry, of Albion, a native of
Montgomery County, lives until the 10th
of September next, she will be 1OS years
old. A short time since, in walking about
the house, Mrs. Fry stumbled over loose
board, and, falling, injured her hip so
that she has since been confined to her
bed. 1t is doubtful whether she will ever
again be able to walk. She is now in
very helpless condition physically, but
her mental faculties are not seriously i'm

Concerning CANNES.

A correspondent has written to this
paper concerning the dog nuisance 10
Dallas, and has touched upon a sub
ject of general Importance. and one
which merits the attenti on OF the
public and the authorities. That there
are great numbers Of vagrant ours
infesting the streets is manifest to
any observing person, and it is equally
true that sometimes owners OF dogs do
not take the precautions that they
should to protect strangers from DANCE
at the teeth Of their animals. AS for
the uDowned beasts that are running
at large, there ia nothing to be done
with them but to kill them off, Some
time ago, II We mistake not, the city
authorities passed very stringent
dog law, and made great parade In
having 1t enforced; but 1t was a mere
squirt, and ia three months time the
worthless CANNES again had the free
dom Of the city. 1t is about time, now,
that the proper authorities make an.
other squirt, and declare a raid upon
the vagabond ours.

A Valuable Dog.

Much has been written about the
sagacity Of dogs, and while some Of tn Q
wonderful stories told are true, they
are remarkable in the extreme, the
night watchman OF the Texas and
Pacific depot has mastiff, that like
Mary's little lamb. goes wherever he
goes, even to bed. The dogs name is
Gap" (short for captain,) and he
wears the title with all the dignity be-
coming that rank. During the arrival
and departure Of trains, while a crowd
IL collected about the depot building,
he does not pretend to modest anyone
and acts like an officer OIL Of duty,
being docile and unconcerned. But
after the departure of the trains and
the attending crowds, Cap is quite a
different dog, and is continually on the
alert. keeping a watcbful eye on the
depot and the cars that are generally
left standing on the switch. He IL by
no means Vicious, but simply gives
the alarm when anyone approaches.
at what seems to him an nnsseniy
hour. It would be hard matter for
the most def burglar 10 enter the dc.
pot without being detected by Gap,
who Is ever wary Of the interest OF the
property he assists bis master in guard.
