The Mail tells sad story of a Frenchman,
Mr. King. poor. old and forlorn, whose only
friend was little dog, which the hardly sane
old man loved very dearly. Naughty Water
vile boys insulted the master and teased his
dog, to cause the old man to flv into rage
In one of these affairs, Mr.. King rushed at
his tormentors, and the little dog went to
his friends aid, and slightly bit one OF his
sgsressors. The dog was killed because his
master could not pay $40 fine, and now his
unhappy master weeps and laments for the
loss of his only comfort. 1t is strange that
children will thus annoy the unfortunate.
White perch fishing has been remarkably
good on Cobbosseecontee lake this fall.
Within the past four weeks it is estimated
that over thousand of these fish have been
captured from an area comprising not over
an acre and located about an equal distance
from Ladies' Delight Island and the eastern
shore of the lake. The fish caught
have weighed from three-quarters of a
pound to pound and . half apiece.
The water 10 some 60 feet deep at this
place and the perch nibble away at the hook
IN sleepy sort of way so that one can
hardly tell when they bite. In former years
perch have been caught here until the lake
wa closed with ice. Quite a number OF
bass have also been taken recently in this
deep water.

early in the morning and loading his first
load alone, and it was while thus engaged
that he received what has proved to be fatal

De Your own Repairing.

We think that almost every farmer
will agree with us that every farm
should have its own workshop, and
every cultivator of the land understand
how to use it. He may not do so when
he first enters upon farming on coming
of age; but after year or two of what
we should call apprenticeship, when he
finds thar to "know how to do things
is absolutely Indispensable, he viii
rapidly learn to attend to most of his
own repairing of the ordinary imple-
ments and machines upon his premises,
instead of incurring delay, expense and
uncertainty bv depending upon profes-
sionals at distance. Rather than to
be without a workshop and the neces-
sAry tools, one should be erected express
ly for the purpose, in a convenient spot
and daily warmed in winter so as to be
ready at all times for use, in which
many odd jobs can be done also not
Immediately connected with the farm.
All ordinary wooden repairing ought
to be done by the farmer and his hands
during rainy days and in winter, when
there is plenty of time on hand for that
purpose. Every part of wheelbarrow,
except the wheel, on ght to be made on
the premises; new forks and handles of
iron rakes, repairing even some portions
of the farm machinery, building of
garden and yard fences, repairing roofs,
building of corn-cribs, hog-pens, wagon
and cart shelvings, making of the
frames of hotbeds, and all the many
jobs constantly requiring to be done
about a well-conducted place too nu-
merous to mention, A person becomes
very handy in the use of good tools after
short experience, and saves many a
dollar without consuming any time
necessary for the usual demands of the
farm

A muttering of the Heavens-a trcm-

See bow suddenly this canyon widens
from SIX to sixty, jumps distance OF fifty

rocky bed sixty by fifty feet. Its walls
are 800 feet high. A bird would have to
make powerful effort to rise out of this
canyon. Daylight beats down into this
rocky square, but only family. You would
have TO look closely to read the coarsest

The fall of pebble from the wall would

bodies debouched upon the rocky square

"No."

Right Side of Starvation.

Years ago, man down East quarreled
with his wife and moved out of the house
INTO the corn-crib, which was just large
enough for himself and his two dogs. He
slept here at night for several years-being
driven into the kitchen occasionally of a
very cold night in order to get warm. His
step-daughter having a mortgage on the
place, forcclosed it, and last April the
constable elected him. Taking his old
horse and two dogs, q buggy-box and
springs, without wheels, a useless stove,
some shreds of harness and TWO boxes full
of Junk, he went to barn about half q
mule distant, which he had rented, but not
paving the rent he and his traps were put
out into the road, where they have stood,
covered with board over them. His dogs
he ties in the woods, shifting them about
when people complain of their bowling,
aud his horse, with rags and scraps of car
pet thrown over him, grazes in somebody
field. He sleeps out of doors, disdains tC
beg, cuts stones for horse-blOcks, and IL
this way manages to keep just on the righ
side of starvation.
