Buried Alive.

In Danbury, Conn, last Friday after
noon Edward English and his son, james,
seventeen years OF age, were digging
we'll on their premises, when the well
caved in, burying both. The neighbors
began digging for them and Saturday
morning rescued the boy. He was bruised
and exhausted, but will recover. The
father was buried deeper, and the sand
kept caving in on the diggcrs. They
worked all Saturday and Sunday, aid
fifty hours after the we'll caved in they
heard the man call out and urge them on.
Soon after another caving in occurred and
all was silent. After several hours more
of hard digging the unfortunate man was
reached. but life was extinct. The de-
ceased leaves wife and several children.
Tho Monday before Xmas, the LOO
employees of Hamilton Lisston s. Co., Of
Philadelphia, will each be presented with
turkey, and none of the fowls will
weigh less than IA pounds. The aggregate
weight will not be less than $4,000 pounds,
and the gifts will cost about $1,000,

Something to Live For.

1t has been asserted by scientific sur
gcons that the will.power Of sick man
has IA great deal to do with his dying.
aud the case Of Charles 0'Conor is cited
as evidence, A still stronger case oc-
Cured in Michigan the past summer An
old man living in the northern part of
the State got out lot of timber many
years ago for railroad company, but
the company failed and left him in tho
lurch. For years and years he tried to
sell tho timber to this one or that, but
no enc wanted it, aud at last time and
decay rendered the beams almost worth
less. Last summer tho supervisors of
that county advertised for proposals 10
build bridge, and the old man put in
bid. While waiting to see what would
be DONE be was taken sick, and he grew
worse so rapidly that council Of doc
tors was called. After due elaboration
he was informed that he was approach
ing his end.
''When will know about that
bridge ?" he cody asked.
The bids will be opened to-day"
"Well, I'll send John over to see who
gets the job, and my living or dying
will depend ON his news"
At five o'clock in the afternoon the
son and the family physician arrived in
company. The old man was neither
| better nor worse.
"WeIlY" he asked AS John approached.
"Our bid was accepted, father"
"Aud we got the jobT'
"Yes; but the doctor says you can't
live"
II can't ch I'm not only going to
live to build that bridge. but I'm going
to work that square timber into it up to
the last foot, or my name isn't John
Rogersw
1t is n fact, vouched for by dozen
good men, that he was of that dying
bed in a week, and in less than fort
night he was at work on the bridge

Making Money.

Why some men are eager to make
money is a problem; they certainly do
not spend it freely. They care moth
ing for good things Of life. They seem
to value money for its own sake.
Most men start in life with bright
object before them, the means for at
tanning which is money, and so they
resolve TO make money. But the means
push the end out Of sight A new fas-
cination springs up, which banishcs the
ideal from its seat
Money acquires, or appears to &C
quirc, a value of its own /; it becomes
both means aud end. and making it
grows into habit seldom lost. The
proverb says. Use is second nature. +"
and it is fully proved when the natural
desire of men for happiness is obliterated
by the habit Of making money.

A Marvel in Stone.

A remarkable Indian idol was re.
Gently taken from Horse creek in Cedar
county, Missouri. the home of the last
mound builders. Among those who were
present was r. A. Blair, the owner and
discoverer of the finest lot Of mastodon
bones now in tho United States, one who
has devoted all his leisure to the style OF
literature that would make his opinion
of value in this matter The subject is
Of such Importance as to warrant giving
the description and circumstances Of the
finding of the object the widest pub
LEFTY This Indian or Aztec idol, as it
is believed to be, is four feet long and
weighs sixty-four pounds In general
outline Of figure it resembles a huge
lizard or chameleon II is carved out
of slate or lead-colored stone or con-
position Of moderate hardness, is as
smooth as glass aud shows TINT it is the
work of person Of fine imagination,
intelligence and skill, whether he lived
one thousand years ago or is living
to-day.
On closer examination the idol is
found to be made up of parts Of dozen
reatures--amphibia, carnivora, insects,
reptiles and fowls The top Of the head
has the semblance Of fat bone plate,
and is shaped like that of an eagle, with
a long sharp beak Near the middle Of
the beak is q horn like that Of rh-
noceros, and of light yellow color.
The under part Of the head is shaped
like that of turtle or frog, and is Of
light yellow Tho eye is like that of nm
eagle. II has four legs. two in front
and two behind. These legs arc shaped
exactly like those of an elephant, have
four yellow toes on each foot aud the
bottom of tho feet has the spongy APP
penrance peculiar to those Of an elephant.
Between each pair of legs on the abdo-
men is the representation of the plate Of
bone, like that on turtle. On tho
back are two shields or wing-covers,
like those on the back of common
beetle Behind the legs and about the
middle of the tail is fin divided into
four fingers or flaps. From the point
where the wings terminate to the end of
the tail extends row Of diamond shaped
yellow spots The idol is in perfect
state of preservation, and at distance
of few steps looks as il it we're live

COULD WE TELL.
Could we tell what's best, my neighbor,
In the world we're passing through
How to manage well and wisely
All the tasks we have to do
Could we see life's snares and pitfalls,
Could we count its many snares,
Should we happier be than meeting
AS we do Fate unawaresY
Could we tell, my friend and neighbor,
What there was for us In store
Whether riches and abundance,
Or the lean wolf ut the door.
Could we forsee hours of anguish,
Every ache and every pain,
Would not life lose half its swcetnessY
Would not pleasure be in vainS
Walking blindly through the shadows,
Now and then a cheering ray,
Hope and Faith our shield and buekcr,
Is for us the better way.
BY and by the mist will vanish,
by and by the shadows glide,
Letting in the light of wisdom
When we reach the other side.
