ful cause Of mental anxiety is the
future Of our families after the

insurance lifts that burden from
the mind and sends man on his
way rejoicing, because Il provision
has been made for the future Of
his family. In many diseases
nothing is more needed than quiet
and rcposc both Of body and
mind; the slightest excitement
will qucnch the feeble lamp ofliie ;
in such cases how soothing the
knowledge that il death does
snatch the head of the household
away provision has been made for
the loved ones left behind. Life
insurance has been as a rose to
many a dying pillow.
1t is true money cannot ease a
broken heart, but it can keep
poverty and hunger from the door
and provides an education for our
children. How beautiful The

THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED

I think we can safely say blessed
is the man that has no stock to feed
this winter. The cows eat more
than was ever known and give less
milk; the hens are all going dry
too, as we can hear of no eggs ex-
cept few that were frozen; the hogs
are growing leaner and less every
day; the ducks and geese have quit
growing feathers; the women and
babies are grum bling and growing
about the meal, the flour and the
wood being out, and it is too cold
for the Cd men to help themselves;
the horses are standing up in their
stalls eating their heads off; the dogs
have ceased to bark; the rabbits
have all been killed. and it seems
that it will not be a matter Of much
thought to figure out what the clos
ing scene will be if the bad weather
holds on a few weeks longer.

HAD 8 CENTS FOR the COLLECTION.

On Sunday evening last quite a
scene took place in the Charlotte
Street Methodist church. Peterbo-
rough. Eli Sagar was at the services,
and feeling himself slighted because,
through an oversight, the contribu-
ton plate was not passed to him, just
p. the R.y. DR.. Harper announced
a hymn Sugar arose and announced to
his Christian friends that he had a
fve-cent piece that he wished to put
on the plate. No attention was paid
to him, when he again made the same
remark, but was quieted upon the
minister speaking to him. For a
third time he spoke, but singing be-
ing in progress his voice was not
heard, and from that time forth he
sat quiet, evidently feeling that he
had done his duty.

ANOTHER GOOD BOY.

A Detroit grocer was the other day
hungrily waiting for his clerk to re-
turn from dinner and give him q
chance at his own MONDAY meal, when
a boy came into the store with bas-
ket in his hand, and said:
Z seed boy grab up this ere baslz-
ct from the door and run, and I ran
after HIM and made him give it up"
My lad you are an honest boy
Yes. SIR
And you look like good boy
Yes, sir
and good boys should always be
encouraged. In box in the bach
room there are eight dozen eggs
You may take them home to your
mother, and keep the basket"
The grocer had been saving those
eggs for weeks and weeks to reward
some one. In rewarding a good boy
he also got eight dozen bad eggs car.
ried ont Of the neighborhood free o1
cost, and he chuckled little chuck as
he walked homewards.
The afternoon waned, and came
and went, and once more the grocer
went to his dinner When he return
ed he was picking his teeth and wear
ing a com placent smile. His eye
caught basket of eight dozen eggs
as he entered the store and he queri-
ed:
Been buying some eggs?'
Yes; got hold of those from far
mer's boy replied the clerk.
"a lame boy with blue cap on"
Yes.
Two front teeth out?'
Yes
The grocer sat down and ox m med
the eggs. rhe shells had been wash
ed clean, but they were the same eggs
that good boy had lugged home the
day before.

THE VERY BEST.

To those of our readers who con-
template subscribing for literary
paper during the coming year, we
have word to say. Parents should
be careful as to the kind of
reading matter they place in the
hands of their children, the country
s flooded with cheap, trashy itera-
ture, and fashily advertised, which is
unfit to be read in any respectable
family. There is one publication,
however, that leads all the rest, that
should be in the hands of every fam
lily in this country, We mean the '.old
reliable" NEW YORK LEDGER.
It's immense circulation and long es-
tablished reputation enables its pro-
prietor to distance all competition.
It's columns are flied with the choicest
matter. The best writer's in the world
are it's contributors. Send 50 to
Robert Bonner, New York, and get
the Ledger for one year.

pauIIRY NOTES.

Don't breed too many fowls upon
ole place, and never attempt to keep
a dozen varieties within the spac
that should be properly devoted to
only one kind.
Corr will answer very well for
marketing purposes, provided we be-
il chus to feed the birds at the right
time. But corn feeding to laying
hens, as an exclusive diet is of no ac-
count wha.ever. Change their feed
OFTEN.
Two hundred and more fowls to-
gether under one roof at night, no
matter how separated as to the fiocks,
could not prosper long at best. The
exhalations from the bodies of so
many birds together would he highly
pernicious to their health.
Hens have often a habit OF biting
and pulling at their feathers, and
greedily eating them until their bod
les are bare. This practice IS proba-
bly, occasioned by want of salt, as
when salted food is giving them they
make no attempt to continue it.
The more nicely our birds are look
ed after, the more zealously their lit
tie wants are cared for, the more uni
| formly they are fed and watered, and
the more cleanly they are kept, the
more healthy they will be and the
better returns they will make.

QUEER FREAK OF A poo.

A week ago last Sunday medium
sized dog, whose skin was covered
with short red hair, right forefoot
white and apparently about year
old, cane into the neighborhood of
Mr.. Chase, who lives about five miles
northwest of Bear Lake, took his po-
sition on a log about forty rods from
the gentleman's house, and began pa
cling back and fro on the log, keeping
up an almost continual barking. He
kept up this performance steadily
till the Saturday following-almost a
week. At first nothing was thought
of the matter, but being continued SO
long 1t began t. excite the people,
and they thought perhaps the dogs
master had been frozen to death, and
that faithful animal was patroiing
the place where his hody lay. d
Wherry and A. Bowen, of Bear Lake,
together with about dozen others,
armed themselves with shovels, and
carefully examined the ground in the
neig ghborhood, but could find no trace
of human being. Nobody knew the
dog, and the people are unable to e1-
plain his strange conduct. He had
beaten track on the log so hard
that it was impossible to break the
trodden snow with heavy shovel. =

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.

The workmen engaged in making
the excavation for the Marston street
sewer through the ground formerly
occupied as the burrying ground OF
the Aims House, while working under
the side track leading from the juno
tion Railroad to Allison's car shops,
short distance above South street
bridge, discovered at the depth OF
about fourteen feet below the surface
of the track pile Of about seventy
five coffins Of various sizes, and all
more or less in state decomposition,
and which had all evidently been
placed in large pit dug for the pur-
pose at one time. The cofins were
piled up IN four layers, and the inter-
stices between the large ones were
packed with those Of smaller diulen-
s;ons. Some of the bodies which
were examined appeared to be IN
good state Of preservation until they
were brought in contact with the air,
when they crumbled to dust. From
the locality where the bodies were
found it is presumed that they were
victims of the ch olera during the
epidemic of 1S49. One of the bodies
was found face down, and is supposed
to have been buried while in a coma

INGENIOUS PRISON ESCAPE.

The reading public of Memphis
remember the attempt made in the
d ng of 1879 by three young men
to blackmail prominent and veal
thy lady of this city by threatening
her with great bodily harm unless
she sent them $500. They were ar
rested and confessed their guilt.
One of them gave bond and skip
ped to Colorado. The other two
were tried and sentenced to two
years in the State Penitentiary on
the 9th of March 1879.
To that living tomb they were
consigned, and were lost to the
world until a few days ago, when
Simms made his escape, in compa-
ny with fellow convict. An ex-
change of this weeks date says:
"wednesday night, about To-
clock, a guard at the Penitentiary
heard large stone fall from the CO.
ping OF the wall, and running there
discovered a large rope hanging
over it, and loose plank setting up
against it.
ION examination it was soon
known that two prisoners named
Simms and Gibson, from Memphis,
had escaped. One was in for two
and the other for six years, both
for grand larceny.
"The manner of the escape was
simple but in the last degree ingen-
ious. AS may be known, they are
the first prisoners who have ever
made their way from the cells
Once locked up they were Locked
upon as safe. One pretended to be
sick and was locked in his cell dur
ing Wednesday. While in there,
he having smuggled in brace and
bit, bored small gimiet hole
through the four-inch door heavily
studded with bolts. The other
prisoners managed to tie a
black silk thread to the end of the
sliding bolt and poked .he end
through the CRATE, his mate each
ing the end and pulling it through.
W hen all were still they raised the
bolt by means of the thread, and
with a knitting needle worked the
;lolt out of the fastening staple.
The door was thus opened. They
had made a key that opened the
tailor shop, into which they went,
and then with a small saw they cut
through the floor, when they drop
ped down into the yard. They had
saved strings for months, AID
made a rope fifty seven feet long.
This they threw over the wall by a
large stone, and putting up a plank
against it twenty-seven feet long.
by means of both, soon mounted it
and dropped over on the outside,
making the descent by means of the
rope they had fastened to the plank.
Had it not been fer the falling of
the stone, they would not have been
discovered until the GELS were open
ed. The guards and warden fol-
lowed them some distance, but did
not catch them.-Cin. Times.
