RAISED HIS Own COFFIN LUMBER.-A
venerable ex Justice of the Peace, re-
siding on a good farm near the centre
of this county, planted a nut of the
black-walnut years ago with the, avowed
purpose of raising a tree, from the wood
of which his coffin should be made.
The good old man has lived long enough
to see his tree grow to sufficient size for
the purpose intended. He has had it
cut and sawed into lumber, now well
seasoned; and he has left with the local
undertaken orders for the intended
coffin. He avows himself ready to go,
but nevertheless patiently and without
fear waits the dread summons. His
work is done. All trust, nevertheless,
that he may long remain with the liv--
ing, many of whom he has instructed
by precept and example.-Wate'l00 Ne~s

A Deer Story.

For years past an old hind used TO
frequent the house of Donald Gillles,
under gamekeeper to the Duke Of Ar
gyll, beside the beautiful fall of Linagh-
lutain, on the River Array, about half
way up the glen. Coming and going
every day with the utmost freedom, and
always sharing of the best, this pet-a
.arge specimen of the red deer-was
known far and near by the name of
Jessie, and enjoyed free range of the
neighboring grounds and uplands. Last
autumn, little one appearing on the
scene. soon became as familiar in the
gamekeeper's house as its mother, an
swering readily to the name of Kitty.
Al feeding time both would freely help
themselves, occasionally even raising
with their noses the lid of the meal
chest: and after their feast they would
walk away with satisfied air, their
muMles all white with meal. Matters
went on thus till one day lately, when
neither of the pets paid the accustomed
visit to the house. Next day Mrs. u IL
lies was surprised to see the little one
come alone, and, on offering it some
rood as usual, she noticed that 1T did
not seem to relish the solitary meal.
Kitty, on walking slowly back to the
adjoining wood, was followed by Mrs.
Gillies, who felt curious to know what
bad become of the mother deer.
Guided by her young favorite, which
kept close by her side. Mrs. Gillies pro-
ceeded through the thicket for rather
more than quarter of a mile, when, IN
slight hollow, she discovered the life
less body of the hind. This the little
one began to sniff at, every now and
again looking up inquiringly into Mrs.
Gillies; face. Kitty is now greater
favorite than ever, and comes regularly
to ne fed as before. -.--

TIME AND LOVE.

Yea sit We down in the old folks chair
And watch we the little ones crow and CLIMBER;
We have woven new garlands for sunny hair,
And put out the lights IN the bridal chamber;
And hand in hand. and with dimming eyes
Wait we and watch in the dusk together,
o love, my love of the sunny weather.
Heart of my heart. who vert once so fairi
No more OF toIling, no more of spinning,
No more heart-beatings, no more surprise:
For the end is foreseen from the first begin
ming,
The castle is fallen e'er the turrets rise
All, love, my love, it is sad 10 be wise
But Time, our master, stands winged and hoary,
And seeming to smile as he whets his blade;
Whilst love is whispering the same old story,
And hope seems SHRINKING and half afraid:
For of these the measure of youth is made,
I'D the measure of pleasure the measure OF
glory
Which is melted out to human lot;
And so on to the end (and the end draws near,
When our souls may DE freer. our senses clearer
CTS an Old-world creed which is nigh for
gotj.
When the eyes of the sleepers may Waken in
wonder
And the hearts may be joined that were riven
asunder,
And Time and Love shall be merged-in
what?

A New Use for Parl0rs.
From the New Haven Palladium.

On one of the principl avenues lead
ing from the city is a large residence
which the owner has for some time al
lowed one of his employees to occupy.
Whenever the owner visited the house
he was received in the rear part by the
occupants, and did not visit the front
portions of the building. Recently,
however, he found his way into the par
lor. and was somewhat astonished to
find that one was used as cow-house
and the other had been converted into
a hennery.

1t has been a subject of complaint among
travellers between Eureka and the Hill
that, although three stages are running,
no one knows at what time they can secure
passage. and in many instances parties pre-
fer to walk rather than wait an indefinite
period in order to ride. No one is q loser
by this save the stage drivers, and they
would not only be gamers financially but
would do a public service were they to
leave Eureka and the Hill at stated periods
and from certain points. One could leave
the jackson House or some other chosen
place promptly on every hour, which would
give each three hours to make the round
trip. We would suggest that the drivers
pool their differences, if any exist, and try
this plan.

Senator Jones asserts that the deepest
mine in Leadville is down only 100 feet.
The mineral deposits lie fiat and are Of i'm
mense size. Many fortunes have been made
there, and the Senator says it is the best
place for a poor man to prospect in, with
more chances of striking mineral than in
any other district. In fact, all the chances
are in favor OF striking ore by digging,
and when once struck there is no trouble
in extracting it. The city at present con-
tains about thirty thousand people and is
still growing.
