An Old Couples Sad Fate.


ST. JOINS, N F., Feb. PA telegraph
ic dispatch from Bay D'Espoir yesterday af-
ternoon brings details of CHASTITY case of
starvation, and of fearful death from expo
sure to frost. An old couple named Rogers
lived in miserable howell at Cooling Cove, in
the Bay d'Espoir. They were wretchedly
poor Having been showed in for weeks
their provisions became exhausted. At
length the old man succumbed to cold and
hunger. His poor, shivering wife then
crawIed out of her dreary hut and endeav-
ored to reach the nearest house, some miles
distant. She struggled family for her life
across bleak hill side for two nights and
two days, and when accidentally found by a
traveller she had lain down to die. She lived
only long enough to gasp out the terrible
story of her household wreck.

SullivRn's Victory-AnotherT Trojan Put
ting Up His Fists-NIore Fighting in

New YORK, Feb. 12.-Another contingent
of sporting men arrived early this morning
from the South, among them being Frank
Stevenson, James Keenan, of Boston, one of
Sullivans hackers, Mike Keenan,, A. Red
mond, r. Barry, Mike Gleason, John Kill
bride and James Colville, all of Boston.
Colville is said to be the heaviest winner On
the fight, having landed over 800, 900 on the
result. The Bostonians were all in high glee
and ready to put up their greenbacks to any
amount on Sullivan against any man in the
world. They left for Boston on an early
train.
During a discussion that took place at
Harry Hills this afternoon r. K Fox, of the
Police Gazette, renewed his offer to back the
Trojan again for $4,000 or $4,000 if he
should feel in condition to fight Sullivan. In
case Ryan refuses to fight again Fox will
communicate with G. w. Atkinson, of the
London Sporting Life, to arrange for bringing
AL. Greenfield, the English champion, to the
United States and will match him against
Sullivan. Should Greenfield refuse to
come to the United States efforts
will be made to get match
between Jim Mace, now in Aus
tralia, and Sullivan, and Fox says he will
back Mace for $4,000 William Emmett,
formerly of New York, now of Chicago, who
has engaged Sullivan for series of exhibit
tions telegraphed to day to friend in this
| city that he is willing to back Sullivan
against any man in the world for $40, 900. He

A POINT ON CoURTEsY.-There is
one little piece of kindness which al
most all, old and young, have oppor-
tunities to perform, and by the prac-
tice of which they can very materially
add to the comfort and happiness OF
less fortunate persons. 1t is to avoid
looking at deformities or marks of dis
ease when they are met in the street
or at home. The keen suffering given
to sensitive person-and all persons
with noticeable deformity may well
be supposed to be sensitive on that
subjects such as one who has felt it
can alone understand to the full. Oh
course it is the most natural but that
is poor excuse for kindness. We
ought deliberately to school ourselves
not to add by look or by word to the
unhappiness of those who have enough
already to bear.

THE. BROKEN PROMISE.

| knew men kept no promises-or none
AT least with wonderland yet knowing this
With credulous folly still trusted one
Whose word seemed SO like the truth l
forgot
The lesson ! had learned full oft before;
And | believed, because he said he'd come,
That he would come-and then, night after
night,
| watched the clouds and saw them pass
From the bright moon, and leave the clear
blue sky
AS spotless and serene and beautiful
As if no promises were broken e'er
Beneath it. Man forgets in busy hours I
What, in his idle moments, he has said,
Nor thinks how often woman's happiness
Hangs on his highest words. 1t is not things
OF great importance which affect the soul
Most deeply, Kisses often weave the net
Of misery, or OF "blss of human life"
There's many deep and hidden grief that
comes
Fro~ sources that admit of no complaint
From things which we can not, dare not
speak;
And yet they seem but trifles, till the chain,
Link after link, is fasten'd on each thought,
And wound around the heart, They do
their work
In secresy and silence, but their power
Is far more fatal than the open shafts
or sorrow and misfortune; but they prey
Upon the heart and spirits till the bloom
OF hope is changed to fever's hectic flush /;
They break the charm Of youths first,
brightest dream,
And thus wear out the pleasures of the
world,
And snap at length the very springs of life
But this is woman's fate. 1t is not thus
With proud, aspiring man. His mind is
With high and lofty thoughts and love and
hope
And ali the warmest feelings of the heart
Are sacrificed at cold Ambitions shrine
He feels that the whole world was made for
him,
Nor broken promise, nor hope destroyed,
Are eer allowed place on memory's page;
IT'S only woman, in her loneliness,
And in the silent, melancholy hours,
Who treasures in her heart the idle words
That have no meaning; and who lives on
hope
Till it has stolen the color from her cheeks,
The brightness from her eyes, who trusts
her heart
On the vast ocean of uncertainty;
And if It's wrecked, she learns her lot to
bear,
Or she may learn to die, but not forget;
1t is for her to hoard her secret thoughts,
To brood DER broken promises, and sigh
Der disappointed hopes, till she believes
There's less of wickedness in the wide world
Than in her single heart S. G. r.

Meeting of the Winchester Circuit

and Sunday. Rev. P. H. Whisner,
Presiding Elder, preached Saturday
morning and night. The Quarterly
Conference was we'll attended on Sat
urday. On Sunday morning and night
Bishop Wilson preached in the Lu-
theran church to large congregations.
These efforts were certainly nothing
below his usual high standard He is
one of the newly elected Bishops of
the M. E. Church South.
We are pleased to add, in this con-
nection, that our Jealous local preach
er, Rev. A. A. P. Neel, has, by his un-
remitting labors, brought about the
most happy results in this circuit
The congregations in Middletown and
Newtown have been especially active
in the work Of the Divine Master
Besides keeping alive and vigorous
the spirit of religion in their midst,
they have each succeeded in erecting
large and beautiful houses of worship,
without entailing any burdens upon
their members. This is as it should
be, and we hope the good work may
go on among all denominations Of
Christians here and everywhere.

THE LOCAL PAPER.-The local pa
per is an absolute necessity to the
country and community where it is
published. All the city papers can
not supply the place of the home ps-
per. That should be the first love OF
every man and woman, for by the pa
per is the locality identified. The
paper gives the country and town
where printed much of their import
ance in the world. and givee in detail
the local news which cannot be gained
by any other source, Every issue of
the paper is so much local history,
and the rise, growth and development
of the town and country can be meas
ured and recorded only by the local
newspaper, that is constantly gather
ing its items. People do not properly
appreciate their home newspapers
They measure the value Of paper too
mach by the number of columns it
contains. The home paper at any
price is the cheapest paper any one
can take, for in it is found information
to be found from no other source.

KEEPING ROADS IN REPAIR.-A
load Of gravel in season applied to
the ruts and gullies saves the nece sity
of two loads applied at the end Of the
year. Travel on a well made road
does far less injury than the rain and
frosts If the inequalities are imme-
diately remedied, travel rather helps
than binders road making. Everyone
prefers the we'll beaten track to new
road. 1t is quite possible to distribute
the repairs SO evenly throughout the
year that the roadbed may be always
in good condition. The loss to the
farming community from. bad roads is
enormous 1t is one of the heaviest
taxes they have to pay. 1t is laid on
every article that goes from the farm
10 the market, and in many cases the
tax is so heavy that it swallows all
the profits. Good roads lessen the
cost Of production; they cheaper the
grocer's bill, the miller's bill, and es-
pecially the cost of the fertilizers,
which are the secret of farming in the
older States Work the roads to-day,
and save money

A MEAN AcT.-The people of Buff
falo Marsh, as we learn from a reliable
and trustworthy correspondent, have
for some time past been excited over
the reports circulated by several per-
sons that they had seen apparitions of
a frightful and unearthly character in
different portions of that neighbor-
hood. One night lately, as young
man was accompanying a young iady
home from church.. the apparition sud
denly appeared in the path before
them, aid SO frightened the young
man that he left his partner to take
care of herself, and ran to the house
of neighbor, where he remained all
night, afraid to go home 1t is said
that when his parents heard of the
affair, they Immediately went to see
him, but he had been so affected by
seeing what he supposed being from
another world, that he was unable to
recognize them. 1t has since been dis
covered that the "appariticn was
none other than a wicked young man
who had fixed himself up in the ha-
biliments of the grave with the avow-
ed purpose of giving the young cou-
pie scare. Such Jokes oftimes turn
out more seriously than anticipated,
and persons cannot be too cautious
how they play upon the fears and SUI
perstition of others.
