Travel On the River.
- There is at present but one boat run
ming on the Potomac that makes all the
handbags convenient to our people below
Giynout. and it is rather more difficult
for them to get to the city now 10y way OF
water than was the case some weeks ago,
vhen there was . dearth Of boats ready
and eager for freight and passehgsrs.-
Since the accident to the Mystic last week
the local inspectors of steamboats, have
been rather more stringent and careful In
their Inspections, and as result OF this,
We understand, the AFRO wsmith has been
temporarily withdrawn to have some re-
pairs made to- her boiler. This leaves the
Matta.o ~ the only boat that touches At
the wharves on this side below Glymont,
sapd,sbS consequently, ehass considerable
lfysight aad p.senger traffic. The Cor
coran runs assusual to G'yment daily, e1
cep. Sunday. and thus the people in the
nsigh.orhood Of that wharf have no diff
fculty in shipping or travelling We
know nothing Of the days on which the
Msttano runs except that it will be i'm
possible ID get to Washington in her on
Sunday. This We have tried and failed.

How 10 Drop Money at church. 8

An exchange gives the following rules
for dropping money into contribution box
At church: Firs', if you feel particularly
mean and have only apenny to bestow,
you must keep it well covered in your
hand, and when the box is under your
nose you must, with quick nervous mo-
tor, let your mite fallso that it shall escape
abseryatian; second, if you have quarter
or any other silver coin Of considerable
size to give, you hold it in pain sight be-
tween your thumb and forefnger, and
when You deposit il you must let it drop
rom Comparatively lofty elevation, 30
that it may make = musical jingle when
it reaches its destination; thirdly, iyou
contsm plate offering bill, you must not
take the money out of your vesi pocket
until the happy time comes when your
nsighbors can best see your unparalleled
generosity. The moment the collector
appears at thepew door is the one when you
must tumble for your money, and then
having methodically uufolded the bill
and put on your eye glasses to ascertain
its denomination. you may slowly put 1t
on the top Of the box. These throe rules,
We believe, win be sufficient for all ord
mary purposes. N. B.-A button should
always be placed in blank envelope.

The Avery Plows.

We would call the attention of our
farmers to the advertisement Of ths Avery
Plow, found in another column. These

durability aud adaptabili y, and Messrs
Avery & Son have been engaged in their

ford & Co of Baltimore, are the nanufac-
turers agents for the sale Of these plsws,
and the fact that this firm has undertaken
the sale of them should convince our far :
mers of their merit Those in need o.
plows for Spring work should send to this

LOVE UNTO DEATH.

The Seattle CIV. IT, Post tells the follow
ing story
A story stranger than fiction has just
come to light. Several months ago young
man moving in the best society OF Portland,
Or, fell in love with woman of the
town living in disreputable house. He
was handsome, popular, and held good
position in business house. He lost his
place and his caste. He lived with his
partner until his cash was gone. Then she,
taking in the hopelessness of the situation,
one day said: "I'll 60 away; I've done
you harm enough, johnson you have lost
your situation and your friends are down
on you." She started for San Francisco,
with the intention of going to work as
servant girl. After her departure the
young man was received back into his old
business, as he was skillful, and his en-
ployers believed he had reformed. He
heard frequently from the girl. At last,
about three weeks ago, came dispatch
saying that the girl had been stricken
with small-p pox and was dangerously i'll.
He who had lost so much through love
for her did not hesitate a moment, but
started at once for San Francisco, and
found that the house where the woman
had taken sick was notorious fashion,
able brothel. Nothing daunted by this,
he made his way to the pest house. There
he found her, loathsome to sight and
nearing delirium. She recognized him,
and stretched out her arms without con-
sidering the consequences. He took her
in his arms and kissed her. She seemed
then to realize how selfish she had been
in exposing him to the disease, and tears
streamed down her dis6gured cheeks.
Two days after she died, watched over
by her lover, who was the sole mourner
at her grave. Singulariy enough he escaped
the infection, and yesterday started for
] New Mexico. He said to friend before
leaving, "rve been fool but l loved
her. l shall begin life again in new
place.
