What q Plant hid.

A little plant was given to sick
girl. In trying to take care of it the
family made changes in their living
first, they cleaned the window, that
more light might come TO its leaves;
then when not to cold, they would open
the window that fresh air might help
the plant to grow. Next, the clean
window made the rest of the room so
untidy that they used to wash the
floor and walls and arrange the furni-
ture more neatly. This led the father
of the family to mend broken chair or
two, which kept him home several
evenings. After the work was done
he stayed at home, instead Of spending
his leisure hours at a tavern; and the
money thus saved went to buy comforts
for them all. Thus the little plant
brought real as we'll as a physical
blessing. Christian at Work.

According to the Rev. Mr.. Scudde

According to the Rev. Mr.. Scudder
a missionary in India, four men bought
a quantity of cotton in copartnership'
That the rats might notinjure it, they
bought a cat, and agreed that each
other should own one Of its legs. Each
leg was then adorned with beads and
other ornaments by its owner. The cat
accidently injured one of its legs, and
the owner wound rag round it, soaked
in oil. The cat by chance set the rag
on fire, and, being i'll a great pain,
rushed among the cotton bales, where
she had been accustomed to hunt rats.
The cotton was totally burnt. The
three others brought snit against the
owner of the invalid leg to recover the
value Of their cotton, and the Judge de.
cided that as the injured leg could moi
be used, the cat carried the fire to the
cotton with her three remaining legs
They only were culpable, and theil
owners were required to compensat,
the owner of the injured leg for his
share of loss. ,.i...

TIE DEMOCRATS, to hear them talk,
seem to express no doubt whatever that
they shall elect the next President. In
this view of the case it is little strange
that they should be so anxious to re-
peal all the election laws. They had
much better wait until they elect their
Pres ident under the old laws when hav-
ing both Houses of Congress and the
President all of one political party,
they will have no trouble repeating
them. If they are so certain that they
will elect the next President, their pre-
sent course is certainly a confession Of
weakness.

IT is THE CASE nearly every spring in

IT is THE CASE nearly every spring in
our latitude, no matter how backward
the season may have been, that the
summer bursts upor us suddenly, usu-
ally about the middle Of May. This
spring has been no exception, and the
extremely warm temperature during The
last week has made US feel very uncom-
Portable. We generally suffer more
from the heat in this month than any
other because we are not fully prepared
for it. We are expecting it and look
ing for it, and yet when it comes 1t takes
us by surprise, and we generally fre,
and fume over the hot spell as If it was
entirely unprecedented. 1t is very ag-
gravating to start up or down town in
the morning with thick clothes on, and
then discover before proceeding far that
the outfit is entirely unreasonable, and

the thermometer and by the quality o.

less while we are so uncomfortable, W.
should be consoled with the fact tha
the hot spring is bringing every thing

gained vastly through the week. Th'

IT IS CERTAINLY shame that. such
sacrifices of property should be made.
as was made at the Sheritf's sale Of
John P. Wells personal effects last Fri
dav. Had the sale been properly ad-
vertised in the newspapers, there is no
doubt that three times the amount
would have been realized. Those who
have read our report of the sale in
Saturdays REPUBLICAN, cannot but look
upon the whole affair as the baldest
kind of farce. But very few people
knew anything about the sale, as it vas
only advertised in few handbills that
were posted in places where very few
people visit that buy such things as
were sold, and yet the sale was adver-
tised according to law. Had it been
generally known that Mr.. Wells fine
collection of rare flowers and plants
were to have been sold, and the plants
retailed as they should, have been, they
would have brought nearer $50 than
one dollar, the paltry price for which
the whole collection was sold. Then
there were the contents of the cellar
grouped into one article, and sold for
sl3, which contained a cupboard full Of
the latest style Of dishes worth s75
and safe worth SIS, besides three tons
of coal worth SIS more, and about &
cart load Of tubs, buckets, and othel
household utensils thrown in, in the
bargain. There nust surely he some
thing wrong with law that would al
low such sacrifice to be made, and w
have no doubt that if an effort wa
made the sale could be easily upset.
