falo is in trouble. 1t has just discov-
cred that Sabbath School teacher of
three years standing, a young lady of
culture and refinement, and one of the
most efficient teachers of the school
connected with that church, has tend
ed her fathers bar during that time.
Some of the church dignitaries are dis
posed to think that is hardly consistent
for a Sabbath School teacher to be a
bar tender, but the girl urges that it is
just as legitimate for her to sell beer or
whisky rs it is for her co-workers in the
church to drink it, and so the officials
hardly know what to do.

Reverse Of Fortune.
GnIrestor Nelrs


In Dubuque, Iowa, two men are now
engaged in saving wood for Mr.. John
Coleman who have a history One of
them, John Derney, has been a million
aire. During the war he was member
of New Jersey regiment, and served
under Mcclellan in the Potomac army.
He was in many battles, and received
many wounds. He receives a pension
of So per month. At the close of the
war he went to California, and thence TO
Mexico, where he engaged in silver
mining, and was very successful, amass
ing a handsome fortune About eight
years ago he married the daughter of
Gen. Emil Toutoreta, a wealthy mer-
chantof Mexico, with whom he lived
very happily for two or three years.
He decided to sell his property and
return to this country. 1t did not
take him long to dispose of his real es-
tate and other interests, although he
sacrificed considerable of it. His wealth
now consisted of bonds and other cash
securities, which he intended to deposit
in the Bank of Mexico for safety, and
to be drawn when he reached his desti-
nation. On the 10th of October, 1875,
the night before he intended TO start on
his return, his wife stole all his money
and securities, and fled with her lover,
and he has never seen or heard of her
since. He arrived in New York with
little money, and, as may be expected,
gave himself up to dissipation. He has
been wanderer ever since, arriving in
Dubuque few days ago. John Murphy
is his fellow-laborer at the Wood-pile of
Mr. Coleman. A few years ago Murphy
was the Captain of steamboat on the
Ohio river, which he owned, and was
otherwise well off. He met with re-
verse of fortune and ill-luck, and last
summer was roustabout on the Upper
Mississippi.

A LITTLE GIRLS SACRIFICE.
Burning Her Toys TO Try to Keep
Her sick Parents from Freezing.

A telegram from Kingston, New York,
February 9, says: "AwaY back in the
widest part of this county, among the
mountains aud forests of the sparsely
settled town of Hardenburg, a place il
takes q week to communicate with, not.
far from the little hamlet of Inverwood,
and near the place where the Rev. J. G.
Beecher, brother of Henry Ward
Beecher, breaches, lives little Nellie Os-
born, child Of six years. Her father
and mother were both suddenly stricken
with fever, being unable to leave their
beds. Living in an isolated place, far
from neighbors, and being scantily
supplied with the necessaries of life
at this severe and inclement season, with
snow lying three or four feet deep every
where, the situation may be imagined.
Little Nellie did what she could to ale
viate the sufferings of her parents In
every way. 1t was bitter cold. their
rude little house offered poor resistance
to the winds, the bed covering was not
abundant, and the supply of frewood
finally gave out. The little girl took her
wooden playthings and tried to keep the
fire going with them. Then she kneeled
by the couch of her sick mother and
prayed: Please, dear Lord, send big,
good man to help us. Help came in
the person of James McGavitt, a lumber
man of the mountains, who found the
family in the condition stated, and
afforded prompt relief Little Nellie
became sick with the fever afterward
Assistance has now been offered by a
charitable lady of 1rvington, whose
sympathy was excited by the child's
sacrifice of her toys"
