TOO SHORT.

Life is too short for many things that
men often indulge in. II is too short
for petty quarrels, for the qualification
Of little spites, for venting malicious
hate, for a devotion, at the sacrifice Of
everything else, to money getting, for
personal vanity, and for many other
things too oflen permitted to take hold
Of people. Life, at best, goes out in a
few years. The pilgrim through it is
moved along by the propelling years,
and drops out Of life into the grave
The cemeteries are full Of lessons
They are the end Of all. In 4 short
time those who are now full OF energy
and rushing on in the busy schemes OF
life, will sleep with the dead after their
life's pitful fever. What will il matter
then whether or not they have rivaled
their neighbors in display, whether
their accumulations have been large,
whether they have filed official places |
Looking TO such a time, we must all
agree that the best life to live, is to do
Justice to all, to have Right as our
guide, and to help, rather than to in
jurc, our fellows.

s@-It is economy to provide small
butter dishes for each Individual at
table. In this case no butter is wasted
by melting on the hot plate, or by mix
ing with the crumbs or other food upon
the plate. Among people who do not
put their knives in their mouths, the
portions left upon these little plates are
uninjurcd, and may still serve as food.
Every particle Of good butter should be
carefully scraped up and saved for
shortening, or frying, or for greasing
baking pans.
Rub cornmeal over very greasy plates,
and give il to the chickens. This is a
help alike to the chickens and to the

Sprinkle salt Immediately over any
spot where something has boiled over
on the stove, and the place may be

A wonderful subterranean lake has
just been discovered in the Allegheny
valley, near the town of Freeport,
about thirty miles from this city. 1t
lies deep under large hill, which has
been honeycombed with the old coal
pits and salt wells. The hill is back
from the Allegheny river about 200
yards, and it was by the merest acci-
dent that the existence of the vast body
of water beneath it was discovered in
time to avert terrible disaster to life
and property. Recently coal mine
was opened on the side of the hill, and
for several weeks miners have been
digging out tons of black diamonds.
The other day they were driving a
room eastward 100 yards from the main
entry, when they came near blasting
through a thin wall into an old coal-pit
which was abandoned fifty years ago,
and whose existence was forgotten. A
tiny stream of water gurgled out, and
an opening being made, the lake was
revealed to the astonished workmen.
The full extent of the sheet of water
can not yet be definitely estimated, but
it is of remarkable size. The old pit,
which is part of its bed, has not been
worked since 1886, and long before and
up to that time all that territory was
drilled and mined for salt and coal.
Immense quantities of both had been
taken out, leaving acres upon acres
of cavity under the hill, which since
then has been closed up and filling in
with water that had no means of egress,
all the pits having originally been
reached by shafts. The largest of
these old pits was the one that the
miners encountered. 1t is several
yards above the present mine, and had
the blast broken the wall or floor all
the men would have been drowned, and
the water, rushing in q flood out of the
new pit, would have washed away the
railroad and dwellings. 1t has already
submerged them to some extent. After
tapping the lake the workmen made tho
opening larger by degrees, so that they
could see in. Blazing torches were
thrown in, and small RATS with fires
built upon them were sent far across
the underground waters. The eye was
incapable of fathoming the limits of
the interior, but by sounding and geo.
logical calculations it is pretty we'll
settled that the water underlies the
greater part of the hill, and the hill is
about two miles long and half q mile
wide. Navigation upon the lake by
means of skiff is as yet impossible,
the water being within few feet of the
roof of the pit. As the hole is gradu-
ally enlarged the volume of water al
lowed to escape grows in volume. 1t is
now pouring out in q stream five feet
in diameter, and has rushing cataract
roar like Niagara. The owners of the
mine hope to draw all the water off in u
month or two, but it is believed by
some that the lake is fed by under
ground springs, and cannot be ex-
hausted

A party of fashionable young ladies

fellow tending flock of sheep. A Miss

shepherd and asked him if he had q

then I'll marry you.'' No." was the

of the young dudes then addressed the
shepherd seriously and told him that if
he married the young lady he would re-
ceive handsome sum of money, would
have everything good to eat and drink
every day, and would not need to tend
sheep any more. The young shepherd,
however, laughed softly, and said:
"That may all be, but it don't take
with me-" ''But tell me why you don t
want 10 marry?" queried the vexed CO.
quette; "there must be reason" "Of
course there is reason, miss" was the
