A Remarkable Escape.

One day recently, as Frank Carr, of
West Hopkinton, Mass, was engaged
in saving lumber in his mill at that
place, he had occasion to lift trap in
the floor, just over the fume which the
water flowed into, and through spout
six feet long on to an iron wheel, re-
volving horizontally, and which
furnished power to move the machinery.
The water was about six feet deep in the
hume, and the wheel was encased in a
close, circular wooden box, within
which it revolved with great velocity.
Mr.. Cars attention being called away,
he neglected to close the trap. His two
little girls, the one six and the other
three years old, were playing in another
part of the mill, but soon tripped along
to the near .neighborhood of the open
trap, which they did not see, and the
youngest accidentally tell into the fiumes
and was carried through the spout into
the revolving wheel. At the instant the
little girl disappeared her sister ex-
claimed, Papa, sissy is skilled!'' Mr..
Carr looked and took in the situation at
the first glance. He sprang and closed
the gate which shut the upper water
from the fume, then rushed below and,
ng to the wheel box It took but few
to do that, but in the meantime
the wheel had revolved one or two hum
dred times, and all the water had
passed out of the fiume. Strange as it
may seem, he found the missing girl
closely packed in. the wheel box, and
uni1ured, without a scratch or bruise.
Tt could not have been less than ten
that the little girl was in the
fiune, spout and wheel, and her escape
from death seemed almost miraculous

YELLOW FEVER IN WINTER.-In
spite of midwintsr cold cases Of yel-
low fever are reported at New Or
leans and Vicksburg. In some cases
returned refugees entering houses
that have been closed since summer
are said to have taken the disease; |;
in other instances the disease is at.
tributed to the active disinterment
of victims buried when the plague
was at its height. In Mississippi
and Tennessee physicians insist that
if this dangerous work is not stopped
a return OF the epidemic may he ex.
pected in the spring; and in some
cases the health commissioners have
beer compelled to forbid the removal
of last summers victims. Wealthy
families, no doubt, find it painful to
leave their dead in potter's fields,
but personal feeling should not be
suffered to endanger the entire com.
munity.

did not believe that there was any

war, already apparent, is that the
south is less dependent upon the

said that he had changed his mind
entirely upon one question, and now
believed that the great staples of the
South-cotton and sugar--could be
produced with greater economy, and
greater abundance, by paid labor
than by the labor of slaves.

A Marked Man.

When a prisoner is received at the
State prison his description is taken
thoroughly, and record of it is kept
at the prison. while copy is sent to
the Governors Office and there recorded.
In accordance with this rule. Henry A.
Caulfield's description has been receiv-
ed at the Governors Office recently as
follows: "Henry A. Caulfield, native of
Ireland, sentenced for manslaughter,
six years. from Sacramento, aged fifty,
carpenter, height five feet three inches.
complexion light, brown eyes, black
hair, square features, high forhead,
heavy eyebrows, three scars on the left
side forehead, blind of left eye, knife
wound below left nipple. knife wound
on right side of stomach, fingers of
right hand crooked, three fingers OF
same hand cut, seven wounds from
knife and pistol on back, bullet wound
in right groin, saber cut in right leg,
another across tho left foot, knife
wound on the right side, lame in the
right leg, stout built" A person
would be led to believe from reading
the above that Henry had been injured
at some time.

Love Of Money.

1t is impossible to disguise the fact
that the love of money is our natural
failing.The desire to grow rich the wish
to possess the money, ,absorbs the Amer
lean mind almost to the exclusion OF
everything else. This is the moloch to
whom we sacrifice health, time, honor
aud reputation. We throw all into the
balance, even our immortal souls and
care not if we loose that so we gain the
world. Money has been the root of all
our evil, ard to grasp the glittering
treasure we have ruthlessly trampled on
what we once deemed sacred and pre-
cious. The church, the government,
business, society, the home. all show
the trail of the serpent; and it is time
the watchman on the tower should
warn the people of the danger ahead
We are drifting away from the strong.
holds of integrity, as nation we are
losing caste; let us return to the safe
harbor of honesty aud honor before we
make total wreck of what is of more
value than money, our good name here
and our immortal souls hereafter. The
decay of Greece can be traced to the
luxury of her people. 1t must not be
said in future ages that Americas decay
was due to her love of money.

Verily.

The Bible is to be loved for its prec-
ious truths, and it is also to be loved
for its words. One of its precious words
is verify, and no word has brought more
comfort to ME in adversely than this.
How often has it fell from the Sayior's
lips Had He promise or special
word of encouragement to give his dis
ciples, it was often prefaced with Yer
ily," and sometimes with "Verily, veri-
ly." There is no failure of any of the
promises OF God. but when the nail is
clinched with "verlly," we feel that
they are doubly sure.
Satan assails me with temptations, or
get glimpse of my own heart, and l
wonder if l can be "A true child of God, L
open my Bible and read, "Verily, verify
I say unto you, he that believeth On Me
hath everlasting life." l know be-
lieve on Him, and my heart is at rest.
The times are hard. am out of en-
ployment. know not which way to
turn for necessaries of life. Again 1 go
to my Bible. and there read. "Trust
in the Lord and do good so shalt
thou dwell in the land, and verify
thou shalt be fed"
He does not say Perhaps thou shalt
be fed:" if He did would hope with
trembling; but he says, verify"
Though in deep waters, my feet touch
bottom here. have something firm to
stand upon, and I close my Bible for
his precious book, and thank him for
every verify it contains.

A Hard Worker

The hardest working man in the
State lives in Norwalk. By birth he
is Swede. and by occupation an iron
molder. He il occupied in N'rwalk
foundry. and every day does what ia
considered fair days works for two
mon. Commencing work at four o'clock
in the morning, he keeps busy until
after seven ut night, not even stopping
for his meals. When he goes to his
work in the morning he carries with
him pail containing soup and black
bread. This pail he places on a shel
over his bench, ani when hungry he
grasps the pail in his teeth. and throw
ing head back drinks the soup. While
he is drinking his fingers are busy
packing the sand into the mold. and
when he stops for bit of black breast
il is but for an instant. His days
work is always two hundred molds,
while one hundred and twenty molds is
considered a good days work for a
first>class workman. This man seems
to have no interest IL any thing bat his
work, makes no unnecessary acquaiut'
ances, and discourages all of his com
pauions who show a willingness to as
sociate with him. He is evidently try
ing to destroy the remembrance ol
some calamity which has befallen him
or works necessarily to gain money to
accomplish some cherished design.

"Girls'' and Young Ladies.

Benjamin T. Taylor, the poet, has
written letter to young girl at the
Lowville On. Y } Academy in which he
mixes up poetry and good advice IN
equal doses most charmingly. What
Mr.. Taylor says will bear repetition:
II call you a girl, but it is not the
fashion any more. The girls are gone;
and there is nobody left but young la"
dies. l like girls best. There used to
be flock of Csrolines in Lowville, and
as fair a flock as ever wore muslin.
There we're Caroline Collins, Caroline
Northrup. Caroline Davan, and ever so
many more. There were Cornelias,
James, Elizabeths. Marys and Paulinas.
Tney were all girls, and they never
scorned the title. Now they would be
Carries, and Nellies, Lizzies, Mamies.
Jennics' and Cornies, and young ladies
withal, every daughter of them. Let
us not end our names in lie Let us
not forget that affectation is the art OF
being q fool according to rule. Let us
learn to work wofsted cats of Impossi-
BILE pink, if we must but let us know
how to make Indian pudding and
golden loaf of corn bread as well. Let
us talk French if we can, but let us
avoid "slang" as we would pestilence
and famine. Pure and undefiled Eng
lish never sounds so musically as it
does from the unadulterated lips Of a
genuine girl. Let us learn the ex.
quisite art of keeping young. You
read of Roman rules. think L have
herd Tyre, Tadmor and Thebes mention
ed once or twice. but there is nothing
so ancient in all this world as an old
dilapidated heart 10 is every bodys
duty, especially every girls to keep
young. Now, to you and your class
mates:
"Dear girls, pray you read the book Of
Ruth,
That old love-story beautifu! AZ truth;
OF enc who lives in everlasting youth;
And say with her to Trnth, forever thine
Thy God my God, and thy people miner
So shall you keen in loving step with time,
And life's sweet cadence proye perfect
rhyme,
And when at last the song is done,
And level shines the dying sun,
Another dawn will show its early light,
And bid good morn though you have
said Good Night
