Newspaper Files.

Those who subscribe for them most
liberally rarely preserve them. This
il money; If newspaper is worth
taking it is certainly worth prcscrv-

is far more valuable at the end of
the year than the money it costs.
Newspapers are transcripts of the
history of times; not always entire.

What 10 III
What does the word "econo'

What does the word ECONOMY
meant Does il mean the mere lay.
ing away of money, the mere pinch.
ing OF our needs and tastes, that
we may have a fund laid by for the
possible futurr-that, after all, We
NAV never sect Does it mean to
be stingy, to refuse to give to this
good object, or to assist that de
serving, but less fortunate neigbbor!
None of these; true economy is
possible to the rich, DIS it is necessa
rs To the poor. Economy signifies
management; the regulation OF af
fairs both domestic and public. II
does not mean that the tired wife
shall devote each moment of her
life to hard work; by doing 80 SHE
is guilty of the gravcst waste. 1t
does not mean that the father shall
deny himself the newspaper, which
will be rest and nourishmcnt for his
weary brain, and of value to the
whole family. 1t means that oil
the members of the household
shall be provided with every com.
fort that will help them to enjoy
life in a rational manner, and thus
become useful to themselves and
those around them. But nothing
should be wasted; the silly book
purchased, the cheap ami iiimsy,
but SNOWY garment, bought for
mere fashions sake, the supcIiluOus
article had because it was cheap,
I'LL are indications of II lack nl true
economy or thrift. BE careful of
what you have, and buy what you
need, not what you want. and
above all, live within your annual
income. and you will have found
that economy rightly understood
has brought Sou many comfmtS-
and some luXurics.

The following particulars We get
from Mr.. George {. Watson, living
near the subject of the sketch. y
lady of the Seventh District oi
Worth county has become inSan,
on the subject of religion. llcl
fermentation was first noticed about
Il month ago, soon after the close OF
a protractcd meeting at Uuion Bap
tist Church, near her home. She
attended the different services very
regularly, and seemed deeply i'm
pressed and troubled from their
first commencement. "A short time
before the meeting closed she joined
the church. Going back home her
incoherent, maddened and rambling
conduct was noticed by her husband
and children, aud they became ter.
ribly excited and wrought up about
it. She went raving about the
house and yard with bucket of
water, baptlzing everything IN her
pathway. She baptized her hns.
band and each Of her children, aud
while doing this sang the most
beautiful songs-songs that she
had heard once or twice. Although
an unlctlercd woman (her husband
will swear to thisl she reads every
chapter in the Bible readily. pro
nounces correctly and distinctly,
paving attention to punctuation
points, etc. She breaches nearly
all the while, aud our informant
SAYS uses the choicest words, aud
displays great wisdom and knowl
edge in the handling of different
subjects. Although not n Mason,
she knows all the mysteries of that
mysterious craft 10y heart. Dozens
of Masons have gone 10 see her,
and they all come away dumb

TO the conclusion that she is n
witch. She has attempted acts OF
violence, but rs yet done no harm.
He, without assistance, at one time
tried TO incaIccrate her in one oi
the rooms of the house, but the
doors became unmanagcablc and
wouldn't stay locked. She hasn't
slept in eighteen days and nights,
aud during that time has taken
but Il few morsels of food.
This is one OF the strangcSt
eases we have heard of. Hundreds
