THE Poor GENrLEMAN.-There are more
young American men in the penitentiaries OF
this country, learning trades, than there il
outside of them. The principal cause Of this
is that we are educating our young men fol-
gentlemen-trying to make lawyers, preach
ers, doctors and clerks out of material that
nature intended for blacksmiths and brick
layers, carpenters, tailers, and other honest
"hewers of wood and drawers Of water" l,
is mistake, and a big one, to teach boys
and girls to believe that labor is disgraceful
and to do nothing for living is more becom
ing to society in which they expect to move
and have the respect Of Hang such society
1t is rotten to the core to-day, and there are
many mems sons and daughters who are now
being educated to play the parts of Heading
lady" and "walking gentleman" in the drama
of life, who will light out for a poor.house
or penitentiary before they have played
their parts and the curtain drops. Go tc

How THEY CROSSED THE RED SEA.-A
colored preacher in Florida thus held forth
"My brudring, the Israelites went over the
Red Sea on the ice. They got over all safe

APPLYING THE SERMoN.-The Rev. Mr..
--, of the Unitarian Church in neighbor-
ing State, preached sermon, a few Sundays
since, on the Importance of saying" ""No," and
in the course of it dwelt impressively on the
moral courage required to use that nonosylla-
BILE at the right time. After the sermon a
collection was taken for a very deserving
charity. When the congregation was dis
missed certain newspaper man waylaid the
pastor in the vestibule, and seizing him by
the hand thanked him effusively for the SER
mon-one of the most effective he had heard.
The pastor modestly replied "Im glad you
think so, but cannot see why you should"
"Why," replied he of the newspaper, "when
went into church was fully determined to
give FIVE dollars to that charity, but your
sermon impressed me 80 deeply that l found
courage to resist the temptation, and let the
plate passer 60 by with an emphatic No 7"

Houses on Poor Foundations.

The outskirts of Scranton, in the region
Of the Bellevue colliery, one of the most
valuable of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Company's mines, is threat
ened with terrible disaster. There is
little doubt that the mine is caving in.
The first indication of the coming crash
was felt a few days ago, in what is know
among miners as squeeze" which caus-
cd several of the props sustaining the roof
to give way. This was followed by the
falling of large area of the worked out
portion of the mine. Several houses were
disturbed and lost their balance badly by
the shock, and large chasm suddenly
appeared in the roadway traversing the
unsettled region. Wells are drying up,
and great fssures continue in close prox-
unity to many of the dwellings. The
phenomenon is said to have started in a
portion of the mine worked out about
twenty years ago, and left without proper
support of roof. 1t has now extended to
the most valuable part of the colliery, and
thrown about 300 men out of employment,
in addition to creating small panic among
the miners huts over head.

A Novel Wedding Scene.

Melissa Underwood, residing about eight
miles from Vincennes, Ind, has been re-
oeiving attention from two young men--ono
+. IL. Donavan, farmer, the other VIM.
Ayres, Miller. Being uncertain which
to make happy, she promised each one to
marry him, but finally agreed with Ayres
that she would marry him provided he
would keep IL secret from Donavan. On
Wednesday they secured the services of
magistrate and went to the residence of
the girl, and the justice commenced the
ceremony, when Donavan the other lover,
appeared unexpectedly upon the scene
having received q hint of what was going
on. Then commenced turn oil and con-
fusion. Donavan grabbed the girl around
the waist, excaiming "Oh, Melissa, don't
you consent, for you know you promised
me first" Ayres had the half-married
girl around the waist, and called to the
Justice to go on. They pulled and hauled
the poor girl about for some minutes but
she was finally released, but the justice
refused to proceed further, and the two
would-be bridegrooms departed, one of
them half-married and the other not mar
ried at all.

Very Cheap Furs.

A prominent dealer in Auburn, N. V,
placed set of ladies' furs, wolf robes, and
valuable overcoat in two or three empty
whisky barrels, to protect them from the
ravages of the moths during the past sum-
mer. The articles were placed in the re-
oeptacles unknown to the employees Of the
establishment. During the past month
the casks have been sold to parties from
all parts of the country, for cider purposes.
The other day the owner of the goods
thought it would be well, now that winter
was fast advancing, to remove the furs,
robes, etc. He went into the storehouse,
and after searching in vain for the vessels
containing the valuables he called one Of
the men into the Office, and inquired of
him what disposition had been made of
them. To his astonishment he learned
that they were placed in the pile of barrels
that were for sale and disposed of to un-
know parties at So each.

A Beastly Parent.

Joseph M. Stambaugh, of Pike town
ship, Stark CO., o., was arrested Friday
upon the affidavit of his eighteen year old
daughter, charging him with raping her
person on the afternoon of Thursday last.
The accused was given preliminary hear
ing Saturday before Mayor Shimp, the
only witness appearing against him being
the victim of his beastly lust The raping
took place in small shanty belonging to
coal miners near the residence of the inhu-
man father. The monster accomplished
his Infamous purpose by drawing revol-
yer on the girl and threatening instant
death if she did not submit to his base
demands. In default of one thousand dol
lars bail, Stambaugh was committed to
Jail, to appear before the court of comm on
pleas.

gsY- -Advices to the London Times say
that a prolonged drouth has brought the
inhabitants of the Philippine islands to
state of starvation, and their destitution
has been intensified by the ravages of
locusts, which have cleared off the rem
nants of the maize and vegetable crops.
Many of the people subsist on roots, other
food being unprocurable. In some districts
the streams and wells have dried up under
the influence of the intense heat and the
want of rain. The inhabitants of the
Masbate district have to go three miles in
search of water. The appearance of the
swarms of locusts, following here, as in
India and other countries, on severe drouth,
seems to bear out the theory that the exis-
tence and multiplication of the insects are
favored with dry weather. 1t is probable
that careful search at proper stations would
reveal the existence of the eggs or Larvae,
which might then be destroyed before
their campaign of destruction commenced.
