Resolve not to take trouble on in

past is past, and cannot be recalled
1t is wasting time, therefore, to troub.
le about it. Suicides, intemperance,
and thousand other evils result
from giving way to useless, disagreea-
BILE thoughts superinduced, perhaps,
by folly upon your own part, or on
account Of uncomfortable circumstan-
ces. Resolve to be cheerful, hopeful,
happy, come what may and make the
best use of life that is left.

English Grain Market.

LONDON, March 26.-The Marx Lane Er-
press review of the British corn trade the last
week says: A large breadth Of spring corn has
been planted under favorable conditions, and
the seasonable weather of the last few weeks has
strengthened the wheat planted without un-
duly forcing it. In spite of the present winter
weather we have every reason to hope for a
more prosperous season than for three years.
In many districts the sowing OF barley and oats
is nearly com pleted, that another week OF dry
weather would nearly end the spring sowing.
Some reaction in favor of higher prices is no
ticeable in the wheat trade, but the improve
ment has only in a few instances extended to
home grown grain, which has been marketed in
very short quantity and somewhat defective
condition. Foreign wheat, of which the i'm
ports into London were very moderate, is met
with an improved demand at an advance of a
shilling per quarter, chiefly on American
descriptions, but more business Is passing than
Of late in all varieties, and the tendency of
prices is in the sellers favor.
There has been some continental demand,
which has tended to advance values for cargoes
off the coast. 1t is probable France will require
seven hundred Thousand quarters of fine wheat
for mixing purposes between this and harvest.
Judging from the dullness of trade at the
close of the week it is doubtful whether last
week Mondays advance will be maintained, as
| arrivals of wheat from America and Russia the
next few months will be on too large scale to
| admit of much enhancement Of values. France
will probably relieve of some portion of the
accumulated stocks in southern Russia, but al
lowing for this it is scarcely likely the ordinary
consumptive demand will be sufficient to sup
port the present currencies.
Some attention is directed to Indian wheat,
| of which the stocks in London are worked
down to comparatively narrow compass, and
a slight improvement in the value of Calcutta
produce appears probable. Maize, although
quiet, is fairly steady. Both old and new corn
is in moderate request at late rates, but other
sorts of feeding corn dull. Grinding bar
lley and inferior sorts Of oats have given way
one shilling and six pence per quarter, respect
lively, with moderate arrivals.

Russian Losses During the War.

Official returns state that the Russian
losses in killed and wounded during the late
war amounted to 89,3O4 officers and men.
Among these there were ten generals killed
and eleven wounded One prince of the
imperial family and thirty-four members of
the higher nobility of Russia fell on the field
Of battle. OF the wounded, 36,824 are al
ready perfectly recovered. and 10000 more
will be able to leave the, hospital during the
next few weeks: The proportion of killed
and wounded to the total number engaged
was very large, one out ofevery six men who
went into action being either injured or left
dead on the field Of battle. In the great ac-
tions Of the late France German war the
proportion Of killed and wounded to men
engaged was very nearly the same being
sixth in the battles of Worth and
Spicheren, and one-eighth in the battle of
Mars -la-Tour. The returns also show that
one out of every eleven wounded men re-
ceiyed into the Russian hospitals died from

Neighbors are an excellent institution,
If they only keep their places. But neigh
bors out OF their places are quite an
other thing. 5s X
The Bible enjoins it upon us to love
our neighbour as ourself, and then peril
nently inquiries, who is our neighbor?
If anybody can love meddlesome
envious, prying back-door neighbor, he
must have more grace and patience than
the most of US.
In large cities the inhabitants know
very little about neighbors; but in coun-
try villages and in the rural regions 1t is
altogether different.
Every neighborhood has one or more
of those troublesome people who are con
tinually dropping in. They are of both
genders, and equally disagreeable. Your
Female neighbor comes over while YOU
are at breakfast and begs you won mind
her, and she sits down in the dining room,
and stares at you while you eat, and fixes
her eyes on the patch on the table-cloth,
and shows by her expression that she
knows your forks are plated. If, you
have bacon for breakfast, she tells you
she dislikes pork and insinuates
that it Is unfit for Christians to eat, but
she will add, as sort of qualifer, that,
if you like it, it is all right.
Then she will want the pattern of little.
Joes apron, and she will go into your
parlor to get the last fashion ma gazine, to
save you the trouble of going, when, you
know she only does it for an excuse to
pass by your bedroom door, to see if the
bed is made.
You never can have anything or do
anything without your back-door neigh
boris cognizance. She is as keen on the
scent as a bloodhound. Your new
spring suit, that you have vowed she
should not see until you appeared in it at
church, she spies out by piece Of trim
ming carelessly left in your work basket,
and she guesses at its cost, and asks
where you got it, and how many yards
you had, and who cut it, and if you
made it yourself, and says she likes blue
but then green is all the style. But she
supposes you got blue because green is
SO trying to a sallow complexion.
When she finds out that you purchased
the material at Smiths She says that Isle
always shops at Jones'. Jones is to be
relied npon, but then Smith tells a good
story, and knows Just how to handle Gus
toners who do not understand goods.
And then she asks again what you paid
for your dress, and you dare not tell her
a cent more on a yard than it really was,
for you know she will go directly. and

And this brings us to wonder why it
is that women in general, and nearly
everybody else, are prone to represent the
price Of articles they purchase a little
higher than the actual facts will warrent?
Why is it that we all want to have it
thought that our twenty dollar suits, cost
thirty? and our hundred dollar parlor sets
cost a hundred and fifty?
Our back-door neighbor sees through
all our little shifts to appear better than
we are, and she lets US know that she does.
She knows that the handsome rug was
put before the sofa in our sitting room to
hide that thin place in the carpet; she
knows that we use brown sugar to sweeten
pies and doughnuts, she knows that our
Tom will swear when lie is out of hum6r,
things do not suit him.
She just drops in two or three times {.
week, som times .oftener, andis only go
ing to stop minute. She never takes
her hat and shawl off because she can't
stop And there she will sit and talk,
and hinder you with your work, and
spoil the whole forenoon for you, and. ten
to one, she stayssto dinner, and, protests
that she wouldn't have stopped for any
thing in the world but because she was
afraid of hurting your feelings.
She only just dropped in a moment, and
never thoght of stopping. >,...
No, indeed! .#e.,a J.,.,
Nothing of your family affairs is safe
from her observation. She knows Just
how often your Oldest girl has gentlemen
to call on her and who they are, and how
late they stay nights, and who their
gr ,ndfathers were, and all the other par
1 ulars.
She is a perpetual thorn in the flesh,
and it is better to live by a school house,
d kerosene refinery, cotton mill, a piano
salesroom, or a bone boiling establish
ment thar to live next door to a woman
who is always dropping in.-Kate Thorn,

A Fiend's Confession.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette. |

I
The mystery connected with the murder
of the three persons near Wheeling the other
day, has been partially cleared up by the &C
ton of John Wallace in confessing the
crime. Wallace on Friday sent word to the
jury that he desired to make a clean breast
of it. He was brought before them and
cautioned that what he said would be used
against him. He then told his story, as fol-
lows:
THE CONFESSION.
| II will tell it all. Some time ago was
| down in Littleton and met Henry Vilers and
fell in conversation with him. He asked me
what thought Of brother Georges wife.
told him thought she made George good
wife and was mild and gentle woman. He
wanted TO know if 1 thought her
overbearing and abusive to people.
I told him that thought she
was and was kind of deceitful. He said
she had insulted him when he worked for
George last fail, and told him of how she
had spoken lightly and slightingly of both
me and my wife. He told me that day in
Littleton that he would give me, OF anybody
else, $50 for killing George Wallace's wife,
and said he would help do it. I told him ]
didn't like her, but nothing more
was said about the matter until last Tuesday,
the 10Th inst, wnen I was in Littleton, and
again met Henry Villers. He spoke of a
fight he had with Enoch Roberts, and said
to me: s'Will you help me to do that to-day
what we talked about some time ago?"
know he referred to killing Georges wife; I
said would, but said nothing more to him
about the matter until after night. I saw
Mr.. Conway in the afternoon; he asked me
up to supper and went. After supper
about dark, George and started for Little
; ton; we walked into town and stopped
at the post office; we stayed there until about
7o'clock: we then went up the railroad TOWARD
! ter-tank, and there sat down and talked
at 3 O'Clock George went on to Conway's
and went back to Littleton.
ooNcocT1NG THE PLAN.
81 went to Whites store. and in few
minutes was joined by Henry Villers anl
some others who came in. I sat on tn
counter; Henry Villers stood close by me
! and said: Will you help me to do that to
I night?' said would. He then said: III
go with you and we'll do it tonight ant
: asked me who was staying With George,
t wife. told him Mary Church. Then b
: told me sto go first and take one OF the par
ties out of the house and kill them, and h
; would kill the remaining ones and said
sYou will find half pint flask of whisky a
: the corner Of the coal-house, near the waite
station The 8 o'clock train then passes
and we all went to the door. Villers, my
self, and some others walked to Fender
grast's store, but Villers stopped there an
8 went back to the doctors. I walked on u
7 to George Lemaster's house, but did not g
; in. I then went to the railroad and wen
