HoW HB GOT HIS PAY.

~ the banks Of the Ohio, before the ad-
vent of railroads, when steamboat piled
between Pittsburgh and the West, lived a
a sturdy farmer, whose spare time was spent
in chopping wood with which hesupplied the
passing boats. One winterSa boat was laid
up at this place on account of the ice, aud
during a long and cold season burned the old
geuticman's wood. When the ice cleared
away, the farmer presented his bill, which
the captain refused to pay.
You will pay it" said the old man.
"1'll not pay it till please" re;orted the
captain, und'ordered the old man off the boat,
a request which he complied with.
A little later he appeared on the"bank. axe
in hand, and commsHced chopping at largo
tree hanging directly over the boat, which
would not be able to move for several hours
on account or the fow on the ice. The cap
tain win an oath, asked him what he meant
By cutting that tree when he knew that it
would fall en- the boat.
"Will you pay me for the wood?" asked
the farmer;
"No !" f0ared the captain.
"Then I'll fellGhis tree on your boat, and
the sound of the axe rang out on the air.
The captain stormed and swore, and threat
eued to lick the old man, but to no purpose ;
the well directed blows of the axe we're grad
ualiy eating away at tho heart of the tree. /.
and unless something was done soonsit would
fall aud crush everything beneath it, Find
ing threats and treating useless; tho captain
finally brought out swivel gun, which all
boats then carried, and, loading it, pointed
right at the tree. Faster flew the chips as
the old man saw tie preparations of war,
when the captain sang out:
"Will you quit chopping at that tree ?''
"Will you pay me for the wood ?"said the
old man, never losing a stroke.
"1'll give you just nue minute TO get away
from that tree, and if you're not gone then
I'll blow Satan out of you," cried the cap
tain, as he called for a light and primcd the
gun.
Without word. as though some new
thought had struck him, the old man should
cred his axe, and shaking his fist at the cap
tain, strobe toward his home, and was seen
there no more. In q few hours the boat
pulled and steamed down the river, making
a landing ct StubenvIllc, twenty-five miles
below. AS the captain stepped on the wharf,
the eheriff walked up, and tapping him on
the shoulder, informed him that he had q
writ for him, aud would tic his boat until he
paid n little bill.
"What bill 2"
THE bill for that wood you burned off me.
and wouldn't pay for, you wnll,cyed ,link, "
put in tho old man, who had been concealed
| up to this moment, and he added:
Il walked down here to kstch ye, and
burned if I wouldn't a walked to Cincinnati
afore I'd let ye get ahead Of me-"
The captain saw i. was no use 70 fume
about it for the old man had the law on him,
and after paying the amount. with additional
costs, and the old mans mileage, each way,
he was allowed to depart with his boat.
The woodman took the next boat home,
with his money in his pocket. snying as he
left : "If it hadn't been for that internal
swivel gun I'd smashed his eternal old boat. u

Its Better Higher Up"

Mr.. Moody tolls the story of poor old
woman, who was sick and near unto death.
She lived in garret FIVE stories up. There
wss Christian lady who often visited her,
and always found her very cheerful. This
stantly looked on the dark side oi things, and
was always cast down. although che was
professed Christian. She thought it would
do this lady good to see the bed ridden saint,
so she took her down to the house. When
they got to the frat story the lady drew up
her dress and said, GLOW dark and filthy it
is" "It's better higher up" said her
friend. They got to the next story, and il.
was no better, the lady complained again, but
her friend replied, ''It's better higher up"
AT the third floor it seemed still worse, and
the lady kept complaining. but her friend
kept saying, "It's better higher up" At
last they got TO the fifth story, and when
they went into the sick room there was q
nice carpet on the floor, there were flower
ing plants in the window and the little birds
singing. Aud there they found this bed
ridden saint-oue of those saints whom G cd
is polishing for his own temple-just beam
ing with joy. The lady said to her. at
must be very hard for you to lie here" She
smiled and said, "It's better higher up!'
Yes, and if things go against us, my friends.
let us remember that ats better higher
up" "we are saved By hope" The soul
that is filed with this hope sees bright
side to every cloud, and hears a cheer.

a Word TO TUE CoRpULENT.-Iustead
of regarding obesity as an abnormal condi>
II N, many Poop Q have crroneousiy considered
it as an evidence Of health, and any agent
that reduces fat is therefore at once suspected
of being injurious. Starting to reason from
the false position that they should, very nat,
urAIIy, fall into the error of supposing that
an agent possessing properties capable of res
ducng corpulency would prove injurious to
the health. Reasoning, however, from the
rational basis, that an undue deposition of
fat, constituting obesity, is not healty but
morbit condition, it is quite as natural for
US to arrive at the opposite conclusion, which
is sustained by experience and observation,
l. e., that the reduction Of fat in cases of
corpulcncy is invariably followed by an inn
provement of strength, spirits, and physical
comforts. Allsn's Anti.Fat will reduce a fat
person from . to 5 pounds week. Sold by
druggists.

"A New Telegraph Company.
tFrom the New. york Evening Post.l

(From the New. York Evening Post.1
Within the last month a new telegraph
company has been organized in this city
under the title of the American Rapid Tele-
graph Company. Its officers are Edwin
Reed, x-Mayor of Bath, Maine, President;
Thomas Wallace. of Connecticut, Vice Presi-
dent, aud Major l.. S. Hapgood, of Boston,
Treasurer. The company is said to have
capital of So, 100000, aud it intends imme>
diately to construct line of double telegraph
wires connecting Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington. Chicago
and st. Louis. The wires will be of cast
steel, plsted with copper, and are the invep-
tion of Professor Moses G.. Farmer, of New
port. The company controls number of
other novel Inventions in telegraphy. which
will enable it, as claimed, to transmit 1000
words per minute over its own patent wires
aud half that number over ordinary. Among
the features of the proposed system are the
following:
