A BRIGHT BOY.

That was a pretty bright thought
of one of the Battersous, who, wher
employed some years since as lac
in an office in New York, was Sent
to present bill to a shaky concern,
with orders to collect it at all haz
ards. After much urging the head
of the debtor house gave him a
check for 500, the amount Of the
bill. Hurrying to the bank at
which it was payable, the lad pre-
sented the check, only to be told,
Not enough funds to meet it,
How much was the account short Y
was the boys quick retort Seven
dollars, said the teller II lacked
but a minute or two of 3 o'clock, and

when the lad at once presented the
check for 500, and drawing the
full amount thereof went back to his
employers in triumph. But, as he
puts it, s. & Co who failed the
very next day, were hopping mad
when they found they had no funds

HE KNEW HUMAN NATURE.

A man was denouncing newspa>
per advertising to a crowd of listen
ers. Last week." said be, IL had
an umbrella stolen from the vestibule
of the ---- church. 1t was gift
and vAluing it very highly, spent
double its worth in advertising, but
have not recovered it,"
"How did you word your adver-
tisement 7" asked a merchant.
"Here il is," said the man, pro-
ducing q slip cut from a newspaper.
The merchant took it and read
"Lost 10 the vestibule of the -
church, last Sabbath evening, a
black silk umbrella. The gentleman
who took it will be handsomely re-
warded by leaving it at No. = San
Fernando street."
"NoW," said the mer chant, 81 am
a liberal advertiser, and have always
found that it paid me we'll. A great
deal depends upon the manner in
which an advertisement is put. Let
US try for your umbrella again, and
il you do not acknowledge then that
advertising pays, | will purchase
you a new one"
The merchant then took slip Of
paper from bis pocket, and wrote
"lf the man who was seen to take
an umbrella from the vestibule of
the - church last Sabbath eve
ming does not wish to get into
trouble, and have stain cast upon
his character which be values so
highly, he will return it to No. -
San Fernando street. lie is well
known"
This duly appeared in the paper,
and on the following morning the
man was astonished when he opened
the front door of bis residence. On
the porch lay at least a dozen UNI
hrellas OF all shades and sizes that
had been thrown in from the side
walk, while the front yard was liter
ally paved with umbrellas. Many
of them had notes attached to them,
saying that they had been taken by
mistake, and begging the loser to
keep the little affair quiet.

PARALYs1s CURED BY PRAYER.

A singular case Of belief In the
power of spiritual faith TO cure
physical ailment has come to notice
in Saratoga County. N Y. II hap-
pered in West Galway, a town Of
300 population, 10 tho extreme Yves.
tsrn part Of the county. The in.
habi.apts are principally farming
people, exceedingly simple, and far
removed from any city. The re.
gion is mountainous and sterile. -
Four years ago Adele Shattuck, a
young woman eighteen years old,
became paralyzed from the effects
of violent nervous attack caused
by hearing of the sadden and acct
dental death of brother to whom
she was greatly attached. She went
into commissions, was in comatose
condition for several days, and when
her micd recovered its normal con-
dision, she could neither talk nor use
her limbs. For four years this con-
dition was unchanged. In that time
her body gradually wasted, until the
skin was drawn tightly over the
bones. and the flesh assumed milky
or cream color. Miss Shattuck was
devoat member of the Methodist
Church. She has since her prostra-
ton persisted in believing that she
would be restored to health, and she
expressed her faith in the efficacy of
prayer to bring about he's recovery.
Three weeks ago, having been to-
tally helpless for four years, and be-
ing regarded as incurable, the young
woman one day walked down stairs,
and Informed her wonder,stricken
parents, by signs, that she had been
cured in answer to prayer. Since
then her limbs have gradually be-
come strong and plant. Last week,
at her request, the clergy and mem
bers Of the three churches in West
Galway met at her fathers, and held
a meeting for the sespecial purpose
Of praying for spiritual power to en-
act further cure in this young per-
sons case, and restore to her the
power iof speech. Miss Shuttuck
soon began singing and talking.
The case is vouched for as fact
by the village folk, one Of whom
gave this account of it to the re-
porter IN. Y. Sun.

THE PHYSICAL PARADOX

1t has been said that "the blood is
the source Of life" It is as truly
the source of disease and death. No
life, that is to say, no healthy tissue
can be generated from impure blood,
no organ of the body can normally
perform its functions when supplied
with impure blood. The fluid that
should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and dis
ease. Blood is the source of life,

THE long and short of the story is
just this. The Republican manag>
ers know they cannot carry single
Southern State. The Returning
Boards are out of power and they
can therefore, reverse the result 10
neither of the States which they
stole in 1876. They must therefore
make sure of Ohio and New York.
They can only do that through the
army of supervisors and deputy mar
shaIs to be employ ed 10 New York
city and Cincinnati. This accounts
for the tenacity aud desperation with
which they fought the Democrats in
Congress in their efforts to amend
the election laws.

"hat II tAo AeaSonf
We are never very anxious to complain Of our

leaned too fnr the other way, even when we

be remiss in their duties, often to the incon-
vcnicnco and expense of n large number of
citizens. The uncertainty of their meetings is
the greatest source of Il IS Inconvenience.
For instance, last Tuesday the day ap-

of persons who had business with the Board
came long distances in cold drcnchng rain to
meet them, and when they arrived were in
formed that the Board would not meet. They
had their journey for nothing. Those same
persons hold claims against tic county and came
here at the. meeting in January, but were then
informed that the Board could draw no orders
on the Treasurer on that day. This news was
cold comfort, but the chill was taken off by the
hope uet in February they would fare better.
Naturally enough these disappointmcnts cause
much complaining, and we speak of it more to
tell the Commissioners that they are complained
of and why than to complain oursclf.
We see no reason why the Board did not
