WATCHING One s-sELF.-"When I
was boy" said an old man, Eve had
schoolmaster who had an odd way of
catching idle boys. One day he called
out to us:
"'Boys, must have closer attention
to your books. The first one that sees
another idle, 1 want him to inform me,
and will attend to the case
"Ah," thought l to myself, "there is
Joe Simmons that don't like. I'll
watch him, and if see him look off
his book, I'll tell" 1t was not long
before I saw Joe look off his book, and
Immediately informed the master.
"Indeed! said he; chow do you
know he was idle?"
II saw him." 1 said.
"You did? and we're your eyes on
your book when you saw him?"
I was caught, and never watched for
idle boys again.
If we are sufficiently watchful over
our own conduct, We shall have no
time to find fault with the conduct Of
others.

ARTEMUs WARDS DYING DAYs.-The
paragraph relating to Charles +.
Browne (Artemus Ward) printed from
Scribner's Magazine in yesterdays Iri-
bune, has elected note from a cores
pondent, who says that during recent
visit to London he occupied in Craven
street tse same rooms which were
Brownies during his stay in that city.
Artemus was spoken of kindly by every
body in the house, and the landlady
was never weary of descanting upon
his affability and humorous talk. She
said, speaking from personal observa-
ton. that his popularity in the best
social circles of London was something
uncommon, and that she had never
had so many carriages with coronets
on the panels at her door before or
since. Yet this success came slowly;
the first nights of the lectures were
failures; but soon there was such q
rush to Egyptian Hall that it was next
to impossible to get in if one was at all
late. Poor Browne was even then dy.
ing of consumption. and was only kept
alive by slim ulants constantly admin
istered to him during the night by his
servant.-N Y. Tribune.

Winter Arrangements.
Germantown Telegraph.

Germantown Telegraph.
As we are now entering upon a four
months of winter weather, in which We
shall have more or less freezing and thaw-
ing, raining and showing, and at times
we may say half the time-the ground sat-
urated with water, and the walking out
side of the buildings Obstructed with mud
and slush, it becomes every head of fam
lily to make such arrangements about his
premises as shall in great measure Obviate
this very serious Inconvenience and pro-
motcr of sickness, often requiring heavy
DOCTORS bills, to say nothing of loss Of
time etc. Anyone can very soon estimate
the cost Of the necessary walks and roads
about the premises and set it against the
risk aud Inconvenience we have named.
There arc nearly always boards, stones and
bricks about a place but when otherwise
they should be purchased and hauled at odd
times when the team is unemployed,
and then before bad weather sets in-say
not later than the first of December
grade the earth little and lay them firmly
down. Thus, make a dry, hard road to
the cattle stalls, to the pig-pens, to the
horse stables, to the pump, the wOod-house
to the spring house; and then, when the
clothes are dried Out-of-dOors, as is gener-
ally the case in the country, spread along
the lines-which lines should be of galvan-
lied wirc-a thick layer of coal-ashes and
roll it. This should be renewed about once
in the winter. SO that the moisture shall not
penetrate through it to the shoes. The
comfort of such an arrangement cannot be
anticipated. Going out, aud attending to
matters and things about the premises
and n rtturnns with dry, clean shoes, is an
enjoyment that must be realized to appre-
ciate.
In addition to these, there are many
other little matters that should be pro-
vidcd for before winter sets in. Boxes and
barrels should be set near the house, un
der shed, and out of view, for collecting
refuse trash of every kind but ashes
should never be put in boxes or barrels or
any wooden vessels or thing, owing to dan
ger from fire. Hundreds of dwellings
have been destroyed from this cause. Fol
ashes it is recommended that hole, say two
or three feet deep, should he dug in the
ground and walled-up with brick or stone
and left open at one side for the rcmova
of the ashes when necessary. This once
made will last for Il generation, and will
prove a sure protection against any dange
from this cause. OF course there should
be a shelter for the fuel, and kindlin. wOod
should always be prepared for making
fires. Piles Of anything movable that
the wind may disturb should never be
made about the house. The opening and
keeping open OF cutters should always bc
attended TO, and icy walks and places
should bo sprinkled with ashes whenever
needed and without delay.
Boys, when they get old enough, should
be taught to do these things and the best
way to teach them is to make them assis
in the work.

A Fail Of Forty Feet.


On Thursday afternoon last Mr.. l.. Winfield
Snader, Of this city, met with an accident
which IS surprising that did not prove fatal
lie and Mr., Repp we're engSged in putting
up q windmill at the residence of Dr. Lewis
Woodward. They we're on the tower for the
mill adjusting some machinery, when Mr..
Snader accidentally got one Of his fingers
mashed. He remarked to Mr.. Repp that he
felt sick, and that he would 90 down, and
ia a moment more he tainted, il is supposed,
and fell backward distance down OF about
twenty-five feet, striking on his head and back
upon roof connecting the tower with DIR.
Woodward's residence, and bounded like a
ball from there to the ground, distance Of
hleen feet more, falling with his head bent
under his body. Friends were soon at his
side, and discovered that he was unconscious.
Reason soon returned and he was removed to
his boarding house, where he was attended
by Drs. Swormstedt and Wells. just how
much be is injured is impossible to tell at this
writing. His head was considerably bruised
and he complains of pains in his back, but
was resting quietly on Thursday night. Had
he fallen whilst conscious, death must have
resulted; but having tainted the muscles we're
relaxed and free from strain.
