A Faithful Messenger.

John Nicely, who has been in the en-.
ploy of the New York Central Railroad
for thirty-one years as treasurer's mes
senger, and who has carried many hun
dred millions of dollars from the compa-
ny's offices to the bank, died on Sunday
last in his dwelling in the Grand Central
Depot, aged sixty-three years. His face
was known to almost every banker and
broker in the city. He used often to say
that if robbers attacked him on his way
to the bank he would cheerfully lay
down his life in protecting the money
intrusted to him. He took the money
down town in a wagon, and a driver
managed the horse while Nicely watched
the money bags. The driver was armed,
and Nicely also. He often carried over
S50O,OOO, and he never cost the railroad
company cent through carelessness or
loss CMcugo Journal.

The occupant of an Office on Congress
street west fixed matters one day this
week in such shape that any caller had
to run the gauntlet of boy ir the ante
room. and as he retired into his den be-
yond he said to the youth:
Nov, young man, look me in the

"Yes, SIR

will then ask their business. If they
say it is financial matter you must
come in here, stop a minute, and return
and say that am out of town to take
baths for my rheumatism"
Eyes, sir"
1t was hardly an hour before stran-
ger came up, and when asked his BUSH
ness he replied:
"Well, 1 called on little errand in
yolving some rooney"
That was the cue for the bow. He re-
treated to the back room, winked at his
employer, and returned to the ante
room and reported:
''He has Just left for the country on
vacation"
Then I'll leave note" said the
man, and he sat down and wrote few
lines and took his departure. When he
had been gone ten minutes the employ
er came out to read it. 1t read:
"Called to pay you that $50, but you
were out Am off for Tennessee. See
you when l return in January. Tra-la"'
1t was the work of only ten seconds
to fling on his hat and reach the street;
but it was too late. An hours hard
work, including walk to one of the
depots, failed to turn up the man who
had money to leave instead of bill to
collect. The boy over there was look

Weeds.

Weeds are generally looked upon as
curse and generally charged to Adams
account. They are, on the contrary, a
blessing in disguise. With these in the
soil the cultivator is from necessity
obliged to work the soil to destroy the
weeds, and he therefore loosens and
mellows it, letting in light and air, pre-
pairing it to retain moisture for the bene-
lit of the crop. Were it not for the
presence of weeds the soil would many
times be left without cultivation so long
as to injure the growing crop. In kill
ing weeds the truth of the old adage,
ga stitch in time save nine,' is plainly
seen. When they first show above
ground it seems q simple matter, but
when they get up SO as to cover the
ground the work is formidable, besides
they have nourished themselves at the
expense of the crop, taking up fertility
and moisture with remarkable facility
and to no possible use. Keep the cult
vator at work, keep the weeds down and
the soil mellow.-Erchange.

Rev. j. c. Meek, pastor of the Pres
byterian congregation of Upper Stew
iacke East, Halifax, died recently after
twelve hours terrible suffering. He was
suddenly seized with violent commissions,
which resulted in death as stated. At
times the paroxysms were so violent that
it required six men to hold him in bed.
He was bitten by a mad dog some years
ago, and hence his death is attributed
to hydrophobia. He was about thirty
six years of age.

An Astrologist on Horoscopes.

The nativities of the Queens children
all show some individuality and charao-
ter. The second son, Prince Alfred, as
he was formerly distinguished. was born
at Windsor, August 6, 1874, at 1850 O.
M, with the eighteenth degree of Virgo
ascending. The most notable position
at his birth was the close conjunction Of
the Sun and Mars in the sign Leo. This
denotes a great liability to fevers and
violent accidents. The Prince of Wales,
who with many faults is yet remarkable
for his bon homie, and for the strong
personal regard In which he is held BY
his immediate friends and the people In
his domestic establishments. The fa-
vorite epithet applied to the heir appa-
rent is the word jovial, and the ceIres-
pondents tell us much of his affable hob
nobbing with actors, literary men and
others. The Prince of Wales was born
with Jupiter rising-hence jovial is O
very correct word. All these words, de-
scriptive briefly, succinctly and graphf-
cally of character, are relics of the for
mer general belief in astrology. From
this doctrine we have our words satur-
nine, mercurial, martial, etc. 1t is Gu
rious, indeed, to what extent we may
of planetary influence, even in the most
of our proverbs and common phrases.
'He may thank his stars" ''his lucky
stars" etc, are examples in everyday
use, and Shakespeare is notably fond of
such expressions. He speaks of the
''star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet;
of the happy Christmas time, ''when no
planet strikes" of ''the moon coming
nearer the earth than is her wont and
making men mad" and in fifty other
places of the belief in occult influence.
The same is found in the other old poets.
Tho unfortunate Princess Alice had
an interesting horoscope. She was born
as Venus was rising and possessed many
amiable and attractive qualities, and
was one of the most popular members
Of the family. The Sun was in conjunc-
ton with Mercury and approximately in
parallel with Jupiter. Her mental fac
ulties were very bright, and it was said
that while yet in her teens she was one
Of the most highly accomplished young
ladies of Great Britain, particularly fond
Of books and art, and with mind of
wider sphere in many ways than usual.
The Sun was tho hyleg, or life-giver, at
her birth. and was afflicted by the ses-
quidate aspect OF Mars, the samo evil
planet also affecting the Moon by square
aspect. The Sun was in the sign Tau
rus, which rules tho throat, and the un-
fortunate lady contracted that terrible
malady, diphtheria, and'f fell victim to
IL She caught the infection by kissing
one Of her children who was suffering
with the disease. This diphtheria is
strictly martial disease and in the horo-
scopes of those who are stricken with it
the planet Mars will invariably be seen
to occupy some malignant position at
birth, and also to exercise an influence
in the directions al the time when the
malady appears. At those periods when
he is traversing the signs Tarsus and
Scorpio thousands of children may be
observed to be swept away by it. This
was remarkably exhibited the last time
Mars made his long stay in Tarsus-
Baltimore NetOS.
