Story of kellogg.

Of Miss Kellogg the following story
is told by the Boston Sunday Times:
Having gone to Orono, Me-, to sing at
the College Commencement there, she
complained of the water. The inn
keeper, where she was staying bethought
him of Mr.. Araham Coburn, a wealthy
citizen of the town, who had upon his
estate a spring of great purity. So to
Mr.. Coburn he stated the case, and that
gentleman gladly consented to furnish
the singer with the famous water; and
to give the courtesy an especial atten-
ton proposed to bring it with his own
hands. The offer was accepted, and sew
eral times day Mr.. Coburn carried the
sparkling beverage to the inn. AS Mr..
Coburn dressed plainly and was called
ABE by his friends Miss Kellogg did
not learn of his position, and as she was
packing up she gave the landlord half.
dollar, which she begged him to give to
"Abe," as he, she said, was the best
man that had waited upon her. The
landlord made no explanation. When
Miss Kellogg and her mother were safely
in the drawing-room car she suddenly
discerned Mr.. Coburn on the platform
of the station. She called him, and a.
he came blushingly forward she said
"Abe, my man, l am sorry you didn'
come up to say goodbye, but left .
half dollar with the landlord to give
you for bringing me the water" Th'
train moved on, and the shout oflaughte
that went up from the friends of =" Abe
shook the station building.

"Jef," the sprightly correspondent of

ing story: Talking of bankers recalls
the adventure which a bank president
from country town lately met with in
journeying over the Boston and Proyi-

in the smoking car and ruminating upon
dividends and discounts, oblivious of
higher thoughts, when a burly in
dividual, who had just entered and
taken a seat in front of him, turned
around and remarked:

"Sorry for that" replied the banker,
emitting graceful cloud.

[New York CORRESPONDENTS of Boston Herald

SIMON CAMERON says that he had
never heard any good of John Morris
sey, and regarded him as merely low
prize fighter and a gambler, until he
went to Washington as Congressman.
L" 1 must confess that was not fayorably
impressed with him." Cameron adds,
" and I was surprised when a New York
politician spoke in his praise" The
politician told a story to the effect that a
young clerk lost twelve thousand dol
lars Of his employers money in Morris
sey's gambling house, and confessed to
his parents, who were wild with grief at
the prospect of exposure and disgrace.
They appealed to the politician, who
went to Morrissey and explained the
case. Morrissey said: "That's all very
we'll, but the young fellow lost the
money fair; and as for him bein' a poor,
innocent young dove that didn't know
nothing of the world, that's all stuff
he's been in our place often, and won
many pile, but for the old woman's
sake Pll see what / can do. Come to
my house tomorrow morning, and like
as not can make the thing all right. u
The next morning Morrissey returned
the money.

What i. yondsr in the future,

What is yonder In the futures
Lift that mystic veil away;
Let the morning sunlight golden
Fall on shadows grim and gray,
OF the doubts and fears we borrow,
OF the death-chill and the sorrow
Hoyering Ger our lives to-day.
Tell US, Is there not glory
In the onward gliding years7
See we not, beyond the parting,
Aswe gaze through falling tears,
Fondest hopes and rosy vision?
Is there not some field eiysian
Which the glowing sunlight cheers7
Though we may not lift that curtain.
Falling DER our future lives,
Yet we know the years are bringing
Rich reward from him who strives;
And, where one day drops Of sorrow
Fall to earth, upon the morrow
We shall see a plant that thrives.

large square Gotten bag with few
handfuls of hay shaken lightly into
it. 1t is as warm as three blankets.
and costs next to nothing. An old
dress skirt, old curtains, or any
cheap material will do for the large
squares, which must be as wide as
the bed. A very simple yet efficient
plan for keeping out the cold, and
the poor can have them.

A WORD About ExAs.-To persons seek
ing employment as clerks, and easy situa-
tions generally, Texas offers but little en-
couragement. SucL places are scarce and
nard to obtain; but 20 parties with capital,
large or small, there is no more inviting field
within tine limits OF this government. The
eyes OF the whole world seem to be upon
her; hsr population is augmenting to such an
extent that shr zee more decades will give her
thirty-fve representatives in the United
States Congress. Her railroad enterprises
are the most gigantic of thu age. Her vast
public domain will furnish homes for the
homeless everywhere. Her magnificent
school fund will educate her sons and daught-
ers free, and she will become, like Athens of
old, the seat cf learning, literature science
and art.
He immense water-powers and mountains
of iron, lead, silver and copper will soon
make her e manufacturing state second to
zone. For the production of live stock, cat
tie, horses, sheep and hogs, she stands with
out peer on the continent to-day. Wherev-
sr her virgin soil has been vitalized by the
plow, the yield of all the great staples has
been wonder to agricultnrsts throughout
the United States.
The people of the North and East, who can
only look back upon a life of toll and count
no gains, whose children are ap-
preaching manhood without estate, or who,
from the rigors of Northern climate, or
other causes, have emigration in view, we
ask them to place map before them, and il
upon the surface of the whole broad earth
they can lay their finger upon another spot
with so much present and future promise,
then we say go there, and God speed you.

A GREAT portion of treights on
the Red River have heretofore
been carried by fat boats, and as
they have been at no expense in be-
ing documented or being admeasur-
ed, they have had vast advantage
over regular carriers, who are at
great expense. The Secretary of
the Treasury has decided that here
after all such crafts will have to
pay tonnage fees and come under
the regulations governing common
carriers. In consequence of this
there is weeping and wailing on the
Red River.

DEsPoNDENcY.-The most peril
GUS hour of persons life is when
he is tempted to despond. The
man who loses his courage loses all;
there is no more hope for him than
for a dead man; bat it matters not
how poor he may be, how much
pushed by circumstances, how much
deserted by friends, how much lost
to the world; if he only keeps his
courage, holds up his head, works
on with his hands and with uncon-
querable will determines to be and
to do what becomes q man, all will
be well. 1t is nothing outside of
him that kills, but what is within,
that unmakes.

THAT the South is not falling be-

from the Western Grocer, of Louis

the fourth largest cotton depot in
America: In point of cotton sales
it ranks second. It is the chief
business center between st. Louis
and New Orleans.
"Savannah, Georgia, has popu-
lation of 10000, and is driving a
brisk trade, foreign and domestic.
1t is the second largest cotton port
in the South, ana carries on large
business in lumber and naval stores.
Atlanta, the state capital, stands at
the junction of five important rail
roads. Its population IS about So,

THE land sales of the Northern
Pacific railroad for the month of
December amounted to $249,6OO,
covering 81 ,O40 acres of land. There
were si1ty-six purchasers, of which
number eight aggregated $1,000
acres, while the palance averaged
about 400 acres to a purchaser.
These lands were bought exclusive
" for cultivation, and the statement
gives good idea of the rapidity
with which this section of the coun-
