Found at Ills Duty.

It was a winters night, many years ago !;
the ground was covered with frozen snow,
and black snow clouds hung overhead,
while an intense cold was made still kcencr
by the driving wind which scuddcd along
over the country side, carrying In It's teeth
storm of icy snow flakes.
The clock In the Parish tower of Gray's
chmed the hour Of nine, rs Talbot, the
post-boy, prepared himself and his horre
"Bcauty" to carry the mail bags, filled with
their valuable letters, on to Chcetham, nine
miles away, over a rugged road, up hill and
down dale; for in those days there were no
iron railroads traverscd by snorting engines,
pulling and shricking on at the rate of forty
or fifty miles in the hour, and distances had
to be reached by fast trotting and high met
tied horses.
1t was dangerous deed to ride over a
lonely country OH such night as this; but
no misgiving clouded the lads brave spirit.
ITe was soon standing before the office door,
patting the sleek coat of his favorito, when
the door opened and the Postmaster ap.
pearcd with the bags.
"You'll have hard time of 1t tonight,
Talbot, my boy" said he. 81 am thinking
whether you ought to 60 through all this. y

Paper Napkins.

Paper napkins are in increased demand.
"A Boston firm have sold some 250, 600 of
them since they were introduced year ago.
The place of manufacture of paper napkins
is not divulgcd. They are said TO be all
imported from Japan, but suspicion pre-
walls that some of them are produced by in
gemous Yankee paper makers, who are well
content to monopolizc their manufacture

use, also, the host or hostess is relieved of
all fear of having his table linen stolen;
and if an absent minded guest does happen
to put his napkin, in his pocket after he has
finished eating, he need not suffer any more

Economy OH the Farm.

On the firm, and in all the various de-
tails Of rural and domestic life, prudence
and Just economy Of time and means are
incumbent in an eminent degree. The
earth itself Is composed of atoms, and the
most gigantic fortunes consist Of aggregated
items, insignificant in themselves, individu-
ally considered, but majestic when contem-
plated in unity and as a whole. In the
management Of farm, all needless expendi-
turc should be systematically avoided, and
the income made to exceed the outlay as far
as possible. Pecuniary embarrassment
should always DC regarded as contingency
of evil boding, and If contended against
with energy and perscvering fortitpde, II
must soon be overcome. Debt, with; but
little hope of its removal, Is milestone
dragging us down, and crushing the life
blood out of us. BE careful therefore IN
incurring any pccuniary responsibility
which does not present q clear deliverance
with the advantages which an intelligent
action ought always to insure. A farmer
who purchases good farm and can pay
down one-third Of the price, gives a mort :
gage for the other two-thirds, and possesses
tho heart and resolution to work It faith
fully and well, enters upon the true path to
success. He will labor with the encouraging
knowledge that each days exertions will
, lessen his Indebtedness and bring him nearer
to the goal when he shall be disentfralled
and becomes a frecholder in Its most cheer

Abraham Lincoln's stories are quite as

How to Break OFF iSad Habits.

. Understand the reason, and all tho reas-
ons, why the habit Is injurious. Study the
sub bjcct until there is no lingering doubt in
your mind. Avoid the places, the persons,
and the thought that leads to temptation.
Frequent the places, associate with thoper-
sons, indulge in the thoughts that lead daway
from the temptation. Keep busy idlcncss
is the strength of bad habits, DO not give
up tho struggle when you have broken youl
resolution once, twice, a thousand times.
That only shows how much need there Is
for you to strive. When you have broken
the resolution, just think the matter over,
and cndeavor to understand why 1t is yor
failed, so that you may be on your guart
against recurrence OF the same circum
stances DO not think that 1t Is an easy
thing that you have undertaken. 1t is
folly to expect to break off bad habit In {

How SfD elts nre Caught In NIntno.

On the coast of Maine smclts visit tho
rivers about the Goth Of December, and re-
mains almost all winter. For about two
months they take the hook readily, and are
caught in considerable numbers through
holes cut in the ice. Formerly, on cold
days, IL was very severe fishing, without
SHELTER except by piling up cakes Of ice,
evergreen boughs, DC. Last winter one Of
the fishermen made a canvas tent, and It
proved 80 comfortable that it has now be-
come the universal custom to fish in them.
There arc now on the ice, above the bridg-
cs, two village of these canvas houses, much
resembling an Indian encampmcnt In winter
quarters. n light wooden frame, with a
sharp roof, is put together, and the whole
covered with u light canvas or cotton CLOTH
In some instances the covering is painted,
to. resist the piercing northwest Winds
The ordinary tent is about six feet square !;
occasionally one Is larger, for two persons.
The interior is provided with stove and a
| bench, upon which the angler sits while
| fishing. The whole rests upon runners, and
can be easily moved from place to place.
When the fisherman reaches the place he
cuts hole through the ice, places his tent
over the same, builds fires, closes the
door, drops his lines through the hole and
waits for bites. Each man uses four lines.
The bait used in this vicinity Is the clam
worm, which is found in the clam flats.
The upper end of the line Is fastened to q
rack above the f1sherman's head, with the
hook from six to ten feet below the surface.
Tho fisherman sits on the bench beside tho
stove and patiently waits for the fish to bite.
There Is not much skill In this kind of ang
ling, for when smclt takes the hook tho
motion of tie line conveys the fact to tht
fisherman, and he quickly hauls him In
The fish bite better on cold, stormy days
From ten to fifteen pounds Is fair day.
