What a Surveyor Missed.

"What are you going to do row?"
asked the old man of the Surveyor,
who was surveying the line between
two farms.
"Find the exact line" was The re-
ply.
AT this the man wheeled, and went
off on the gallop, and he was seen no
more until the line had been run.
The Surveyor and first named farmer
had just completed the work when
the other came up to within about
ten feet oithem and asked:
swell, have you got through
YES, all through"
"And is the fence a foot on his
farm?"
No; he has two feet Of yours, and
the fence must be moved SO that you
can have it,"
The man sprang upon a stump,
faced thicket about five rOds q! away
and yelled out:.
"You there-Reuben and James
and Samuel. The survey is made
and we are all right! You kin shoul.
der them shotguns and go back to
the saw-mill, and if yon meet the old
woman coming with the pitch,fork,
you kin tell her to turn back and git
up squar' dinner for the Surveyor"

A Mormon wife's Death.

The discipline of the Mormon
Church was never better exemplified
than in the death of the legal wife of
George Q, Cannon, which took place
on Wednesday last. Cannon knew
she was dying, but he stayed in
Washington to fight to keep a polyg.
amist in Congress, that the Mormon
Church might be fully represented in
that body, Mrs. Cannon knew she
was dying, but telegraphed him to
remain at his post. The poor woman,
the mother of eleven children, died
at the age Of forty-six. The Mormon
journals tell us she was consistent
Mormon, and was willing to suffer
anything for her church. aShe has
suffered very much. AS her charms
began to fade she saw the man TO
whom in her youth she had devoted
herself, take one woman afteranother
to fll her place, and to share not
only her husband, but the property
she had helped to accumulate, and
her sufferings only resulted in her
having fourth place in the mans
heart which she thought, in the long
ago, she had entirely won. Come to
think, we do not wonder that she
telegraphed him to remain in Wash
ington. The poor woman is dcscrib.
ed as being thoroughly womanly
woman. If that ba true, we do not
wonder that she desired to be alone
as she approached her final release

A LONG Fam.

There occurred on Slate Mountain
near Ashcroft, recently, one of those
accidents that make men realize how
terrible are the perils that environ
the pathway of the fortune hunter
in these great mountains. A young
man named ]. NJ. Zern, who has been
around Ashcroft for some time past,
had, in connection with another
man, q contract to run in a tunnel
on claim very near the summit of
Slate Mountain. The claim is known
as the Shamokin lode. They had
nearly completed the contract, and
Zern was making his preparations
to get out of the country for the win.
ter. The trail leading from the cabin
occppied by the two contractors TO
the claim winds its sinuous and per-
ilous way along the steep slope of
.
Slate Mountain, frequently zigzaging
to avoid the ledges and ease the grade.
But there is one place far up toward
the summit of the slope is almost
perpendicular for quite a distance,
and under the best conditions travel
at that spot is very perilous. The
trail, about eighteen inches wide, is
cut out Of the mountain side, and it
will make q tenderfoot's hair stand
on end to look down. There has
been crust of snow several inches
thick on and near the summit Of
Slate Mountain for a week or more
past, and the cold nights has frozen
this snow where it has been pressed
down on the trail until it is as slip.

Zern and his partner were proceed.
ing along the trail to the Shamokin
lode, and at the precipitous spot re-
ferred to Zern missed his footing.
The misstep carried his body off the
trail, and in instant the doomed
miner was whirling down the snowy
slope, wildly grasping at the air, and
attempting in vain to secure some
foothold on the frozen ground. His
terror-stricken partner, utterly un
able to render him any assistance,
stood gazing at the terrible sight
with emotions past description.
Down, down the poor fellow went,
and when his bruised and bloody
frame reached the bottom, it was
1,S00 feet from where it started, and
bore but but little resemblance of its
original self.-L LeadUaLe Democrat.

l had said, "Deliver us from lying"
and ] thought of mother and what
she would say, and how the teacher
would look if he found me out.
AS soon as he turned towards US
again, if you'll believe me, he gave
out another word, as if nothing had
happened.
! spoke up loud now,
"No, sirl l didn't put in but one ~
He looked puzzled first, and then
said, didn't your" and looked sorry.
If he hadn't looked that way /

Luena went above me, biting her
lips to keep from laughing in my
face, ! couldn't speak to spell the
next word be gave me. He seemed
to want the visitor to hear me spell
q bard word, because u had just
failed.
II | had spoken, l should have
burst out crying; and l hate to see a
big girl like me do that, SO / went
down again.
/ told mother about it at noon, and
said I'd lost the prize and another
place besides, all from asking to be
delivered from evil; for by that time
all my wishes had come back. But
she kissed me and said it was better
so; | never would have enjoyed the
most beautiful prize if it could not
be honestly mine, and that she would
give me pretty little Bible because
| had told the truth.
But / thought she never could
afford to get me one like that | had
lost; and should have been cross,
but that she seemed SO worried about
the baby.
When examination day came, the
teacher told us to take our places in
the spelling class in alphabetical or
der. That is, if a girls name began
with A. she should stand first.
Mine did, you see, SO | was at the
head again; but there was no comfort
in that now.
When the classes were all in their
places, he made little speech to
the visitors, for the room was full by
that time, explaining about the
prize. /.
Then he said Luena Shaw had been
perfect one more day than I had, and
called her up to take the prize.
She was dressed beautifully, but ]

faded in the wash, because baby was
too sick for mother to. finish my new
gown. | felt as if everything was
against me that day.
Luena made the prettiest bow, and
said, "Thank you, sir!" and came
back up the aisle looking SO pleased.
But she was good when she came to
me, for she looked another way and
was sober.
When she was seated, the teacher
cleared his throat and said-well, !
can't tell it just as it was, for was
so surprised; bat he spoke Of my hav-
ing been perfect in spelling SO many
times, and that he would have
thought had spelled the word right,
only l said I hadn't.
He ended by saying he wanted me
to have a present, and, calling me up,
handed ne Bible exactly like the
other.
l didn't make a pretty bow like
Luena. | just bent my head for fear
he would see tears. | saw them in
his eyes when l tried to whisper,

Was happy all the day;
And time on golden wings wentt
For love alone held sway,
The burning tears oft falling MOI y

For naught save joy and happiileI
Did dwell within this breast.
But oh, the changel one short, sll
Has only passed away,
But with it have fled all the joya
Which made this heart 50 gas
For cold in death my darling Side
Beneath the churchyard clay;
And with him fed all joy from Ii
Far, far from me away.

Bring solace to my heart,
Or it will sink beneath its load,
And die with its great smart.

The Fitchburg Railroad, for about
twenty miles out from Boston, has
the electric signal block system. By
means of a battery every two or three
miles, which is connected with the
rails, and a signal post, circuit is
maintained which holds a white sig
nal in position; but the moment ~
train strikes the section or u rail is
displaced, or the battery gets out of
order, the circuit is broken, a red
signal displaces the white, and all
following trains are warned that the
section is blocked. Similar appara-
tus secures the safety Of switches. 1t
is said to be satisfactory in its opera
