A Narrow Escape.

In the collision near Canastota during the recent storm, Express Messenger Butts, of the Syracuse office, had very narrow escape He was ill an iron car.
 When the collision occurred his Car was thrown over tho bank, one end resting against the smoking and baggage car. The side of the car pinned him down by the hand and held him thore ill spite of every effort to release him. "Save me, or kill me p While Butts was thus i'm prisoned, the car took fire, the hurricane driving the flames savagely from one end to the other. Surrounded by fire on nearly all sides, Butts cried out !: "Save me or kill me ! Don't let me burn alive ]" Conductor Snyder and his men with the passengers worked like heroes. It seemed as if Butts could not be saved, and at one tune Conductor Snyder was tempted to save the poor fellow by cut.
 ting off his arm, and he actually took out his knife for that purpose. Just then bar of iron was got under the side of the car and Butts was saved. His hand is nearly cut of, and he is badly hurt about the head. Everything in the car was burned, and the baggage and smoker were only saved by hard work.

WHO DOES HIS BEST DOES
 WELL.

 Yes, life is burden of sorrow and care, And none, do their best, can escape from
 their fate; Then since we arc doomed our great burden to
 bear,
 Let us steadily study to tighten Its weight. And, first, in good humor set out on the way, With song, or cheer, kind word, or a laugh; For we find, as long as the worlds highway We stray,
 The mass of mankind are too serious by half. Why should Virtue forever wear cypress and yew;
 While S,n iaunts in garlands of myrtle and rose2 The heart that is cheerful can still be as true As the heart that is ever bemoaning its woes. Leave preaching for practice, leave promise
 for deeds, The poorest can spare kind word or a One act of true brotherhood shames all the creedS Ever woven by councils the world to beguile. Do the best that you can, with hearty good
 will;
 Help the weak and the weary you find on
 the way; Thus Humanity's measure of duty fulfill You'll find every act with the deed brings
 the pay. When you lie down to rest, with your hand on your heart, And can say, " In good sooth, have tried
 to do right; To bear in the duties of life mans part" The fullness of peace will come in with the night.

exceeds the consumption, but the excess Is absorbed by breweries and distilleries, at home and abroad, which, more than any other cause, keep up the price of breadstuffs. So men have to pay dearer for what they drink than for what they eat, because, perhaps, eating is neces- sity, and d. mixing, for the most part, is much worse than superhuity.
 A New York paper gives the follow ing picture of the wear and tear of city fife: The President at one of our lead ing banks has been under the doctors care for over year. He comes down to the bank every morning at 10 o'clock, and remains till o'clok, p. m. Besides the immense business of his own in- stitution, at II o'clock he goes down to Wall street, where he is silent partner in a stock house. At l o'clock he is back again at the bank. His private office is crowded with the prominent business men of New York. He has at least six institutions in which he is 8 manager, director or president. These institutions represent every variety of in- vestment. Besides this, he is at the head of an immense denomination, finan- cially, and gave last year $50, ,0o0 to help the educational interests of his church out of tight place. The different societies that he represents keep him without moments leisure through the day, and his evenings are all consumed in business. I heard him say last week that he never slept after o'clock in the morning. How such man lives with such pressure upon him is marvellous. He of course won't live out half his days. He's 0 specimen of New York business life. Our city is full of prema- ture old men-older at 30 than their fathers are at 60; prematrrely gray, prematurely bald, limping around with canes, with their under pinning knocked out unable to relish their food unless it is covered with the most fragrant spices, or washed down with deluge of liquor. One of our most eminent physi- clans said the other day: " Nine tenths of our citizens who go to tho insane asylum go there for want of sleep and want of nutritious food" Considering the style of our living and of our busi- ness, it's not at all marvel that we have so many suicides

AT THE BEDSIDE.

o mothers whose children are sleeping,
 Thank God by their pillows tonight, And pray for the mothers now weeping
 Ger pillows too smooth and too white; Where bright little heads oft have lain,
 And soft little cheeks have been pressed; o mothers who know not this pain,
 Take courage and bear all the rest For the sombrc-winged angel is going
 With pitiless flight OCT the land, And we wake in the morn, never knowing,
 What he, ere the night, may demand. Yes, tonight, while our darlings are sleeping There's many soft little bed Whose'pillows are moistencd with weeping
 For the loss of ono dear little head. There are hearts on whose innermost altar
 There is nothing but ashes tonight; There are voices whose tones sadly falter,
 And dim eyes that shrink from the light Oh mothers whose children arc sleeping,
 As ye bend to caress the fair heads, Pray, pray for the mothers now weeping
 Ger pitiful, smooth little beds.

Who Killed SchuIte !?

The inquest in the case of Schulte, tue murdered miser of South Norwalk, adds another chapter to the history of curious crimes.
 An cid and needy looking German, accompanied by his servant, neither of them able to speak English, buys an eight acre farm in South Norwalk, pay ing the exorbitant price of $5, 1000 cash. He occupies little room in the farm house, buys his own food, has it cooked by the tenants, and spends his days in playing the violin, sketching, expert menting in photography, and studying. It is his habit to go to bed early, and he is careful not to be out after dark. Soon it becomes rumored about that he has much money, and his servant, William Buchholz, well-educated young Ger man, corroborates the rumor.
 On Friday, Dec. 27, the old man comes to this city, ordering his servant to meet him at the South Norwalk depot at o'clock. But instead of returning at four, he comes home two hours later. Then the two start down the railroad, the nearest way home. An hour later the servant rushes into the farmhouse, his face bloody, and evidently much frightened, saying that Schulte has been attacked by tramps in the swamp. through which they had been walking on their way home. The neighbors as- semble, and going to the place, find the old man dead, with two horrible wounds in his head. His pockets have been riaed, nothing of value apparently being left. Yetwhen the coroner searches the body, there are found S2, 300 marks and $939 in greenbacks in an inner pocket Investigation shows that Schulte had at least $1, 900 in his pockets, which the murderers obtained, and that he owned properly to the amount of about $20O,- 900 in Germany.
 Suspicion points to the servant. And yet so coolly does he carry himself, so calmly does he explain away all suspi- cious evidence, that many people who hear the testimony think him innocent. State Attorney Olmstead, pushing the investigation, claims to be drawing around him chain of evidence that will show he was in this oity on the 23d and 24th of December, planning with con- federates the murder of the old man on the 27th 1; that Schulte was purposeIy detained here so that he reached his home after dark, contrary to his cus- tom that the murderers waited for him in the swamp, and while Buchholz led the way, stole up behind, brained him with 8 hatchet, took all the money they supposed he carried, while the servant, with a scratch on his cheek, gave the alarm after the bloody work was com pleted.
 Meanwhile the body of the murdered man is tossing in the Atlantic on the way to his native land, where brother ] lives; the servant is under arrest, but not confined, and all South Norwalk asks. "Who killed MT. Schulte ?''-Nes0 l York Satn.

 The doctor looked at hls friend with a solemn countenance, but his soul was full of fun. He knew very we'll what little Mrs. Smithers had been doing to her house, and why she did it; and he quite understood the effect it had pro- duced on her spouse.
 Smithers, my dear friend," be said, solemnly, "don't be alarmed. 1t is an epidemic; half the women in the city have it. Your wife will recover. Take my advice: Send her into the country for a week; and put your old things back into the house. You can sell the new ones at auction very readily. Let Mrs. s., as I said, visit your mother the while. When she comes back she'll see everything all right again. and all will be we'll. Don't talk to her about it. Thero'l be no relapse"
 "Yes, yes," said MT. smithers. 1T hope you are right ! And you'll go over and see Kitty? I've put her to bed and tied her head up. You'll go this evening, Doctor ?"
 "At once," said the Doctor.
 He went. Poor Mrs. Smithers lay sobbing in her spindle-legged bed, with the handkerchief still about her brows.
 "Oh, Doctor!'' she sobbed. "I'm so thankful you've come. Jeremiah has returned home in such strange con- dition. I'm afraid his mind is affected. He would have me go to bed at once, as you see. Did he send for you? There was nothing the matter with me until he nearly frightened me to death."
 "I've seen your husband, ma'am, |" said the doctor, solemnly. "He'n be all right in a few days. It was the shock of seeing things so changed about him-that was all. Do exactly as he bids you, and everything will be we'll again."
 Mrs. Smithers promised, and obeyed, and went mildly away to visit Jeremiah's mother in the country on the following day. As soon as she was gone the anx- ious husband packed off all the expen- sive purchases to the auction-rooms, where they created quite furore, and brought more than they cost, restored his doors and mantel- pieces, hunted up his old furniture, re-hung his gas fix lures, and set his heater to work, and then went to bring his wife home.
 He watched the effect of her entrance into her home with anxiety; but all Mrs. Smithers said was: "How con- fortable p
 "I thought you'd think so," sighed Smithers, wonderfully relieved.
 He has never quite understood the matter yet; but Mrs. Smithers does.

A KNOWING ELEPHANT.-An officer in the Bengal army had a very fine and favor1te elephant which was supplied daily in his presence with certain allowance of food, but being compelled to absent himself on 8 journey the keeper of the beast diminished the ration of food, and the animal became daily thin ner and weaker. When it's master re- turned the elephant exhibited the great est signs of pleasure; the feeding time came and the keeper laid before it the former full allowance of food which it divided into two parts, consuming one immediately and leaving the other un- touched. The officer, knowing the sa- gacity of his favorite, saw immediately the fraud that had been practiced and made the man confess his crime,

A Story of Bayard Taylor.

Geo. s. Smalley tells the following story of the late Bayard Taylor:
 A single incident-which hope may now relate without offence to anybody will show how thoroughly man of the world Bayard Taylor was ill the midst of all his simplicity. On the night of the first of May he went othe Marshal's official reception at the EIysee. He found himself on arrival absolutely alone No one from the Legation in Paris had accompanied him, and no one was at the palace to meet him. The official ar- engagements were so meagre that not so much as an usher was there to announce him. MT. Tay- lor's colleague did not arrive till later. With Marshal MacMaho", the President of the French Republic, MT, Taylor had no acquaintance. Iu such circumstances, most men would have gone away, or have mingled quietly with the crowd. MT. Taylor made h,s way to the Mars hal, introduced himself by his name and titl', paid his due compliment, and asked leave to present his wife and daughter. The Marshal, whatever his political sins, is quick to recognize manly frankness. He greeted MT. Taylor cordially, carried off the party and presented them to the Duchess, who in turn received them with marked civility. "I thought" said Mir. Taylor, in describing the incident to me, that had no choice. It was known that l was in Paris, and had been asked to this ceremony. If had gone away without making myself known, my sup posed absence would have been set down as piece of rudeness or carelessness, and l was determined that no such charge should be brought againi a Minister of the American Republic when he was in the Capitol of foreign Re- public" He made absolutely no otser- vation on the singularity of his position on his being left to do for limseli what might have been done for him. l don't thiRk it occurred to him that any neglect had been shown him. He was concerned with nothing but the dis charge of his duty. He did it, let me add, after day of great fatigue. and when he was quite ill enough to have excused him for going to bed instead oi going to the Elysee. He had been on foot all the morning and afternoon al the opening ceremony, missed his car. riage and walked home, arriving in C state of exhaustion.
