WOODBURY., n. j.. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1884,

Olner men, Wnlle NrS. AUSTIN ran down
stairs and stood at the foot of the lad
der.
Take the baby first, :" said little Jane,
and the infant was handed down safe
and unhurt to his mother.
Now, little missy, it is your turn; we
will have you out of that in twink
lieg."
But as the blacksmith approached the
bed he saw that it would be no easy task
to extricate the child uninjured; for
with one careless touch the overhanging
mass might fall and crush her.
'Gently, gently" he said, waving
back his eager assistants. Then, taking
screw-driver from his pocket, lie soon
had the closet-door off the hinges. With
that and the mattress and pillows from
the crib he built up barricade over the
. little girls head. "Now l think we can
raise this broken beamn
The strong iron bars they had brought
with them were placed under it.
One momentl' said Mr.. Green.
Now, my little girl, as soon as 1 give
the word, creep out just as quickly as
you can. Ready Liftln
The child turned and drew herself to
the edge of the bed. In an instant
pair of strong arms caught and drew her
to the window, and as the three other
men sprang aside, stones and mortar,
beams and rafters, fell upon the bed with
a frightful crash.
But ct the same moment the mother
saw the little white clad figure descend
ing the ladder, and with cry she caught
the child in her arms and then tainted
away. The first moments of intense e6-
citement had scarcely passed when one
wagon after another began to arrive from
the village, where the news of the dis
aster had rapidly spread. Little Jane
was the heroine of the hour.
g 1t was touch and go with the little
one, you may believe, said Mr.. Green,
with shiver. II don't know what
ever held up that rafter. for baby's
hand could have shakenit down"
''And she lay there all that time with
out movingF' said one of his hearers.
She did that. If she had kicked and
struggled like any other child, the whole
mass would fallen and crushed her.
But amidst the general wonder and
admiration the child herself was quite
unconscious that she had done anything
at all remarkable. When questioned she
said simply, Mamma said must not
move"
The good blacksmith took Mrs. Austin
and the children to his own house until
Mr.. Austin's return, and when evening
came and they lay down to rest once
more, the little girl nestled close to her
mother and whispered. 'sDon't you think
God sent His angels last night to take
care of us2"

HER OBEDIENCE.

Far out on Western prairie lived
little Jane Austin with her father and
mother. The place might have seemed
lonely to some people, for there were no
houses in sight of her home, nor any
neighbors within several miles, but the
three who lived there were quite con-
tented; and when, few months before
my story begins, baby came to gladden.
the household with his presence, their
happiness was complete.
The house itself was not much more
than cabin. It had been roughly put
together at time when skilled labor
was not to be had: but it had served for
a shelter, and now, when prosperity had
rewarded years of toll and carefulness, it
was to be replaced by larger and better
dwelling. The plans had been drawn,
the estimates made, and one bright sum
mer morning, Mr.. Austin set out for the
nearest town to purchase the lumber for
it.
His wife was not afraid to be left alone
with the children. She was a courage
GUS woman, calm and self-possessed at
all times, and her little daughter had in
herited the same traits. There was much
to be done about the house, and the two
were very busy. The time passed quick
ly. The second day was drawing to
close, when Mrs. Austin noticed signs of
a change in the weather.
'sWe must fasten all the doors very
securely tonight" !" she said to Jane, as
they went together to the barn to feed
the cattle. 81 think there will be a
storm before morning.
Dark clouds were gathering on the
western horizon, and before they went to
bed, the wind was blowing in fitful, vio-
let gusts that ratified seriously against
the timbers of the old house. Still no
thought Of great danger entered their
minds, though Jane said to her mother,
after she lad laid down in bed beside
her:
81 shall be glad when the new houy
is built, mamma, for the wind won't
make such noise them
"Yes,n said Mrs Austin, 81 think
we shall all enjoy it; but try to go to
sleep now, dear, in spite of the noise"
Acting upon her own advice, she laid
her head upon the pillow and was soon
unconscious of all around her. How
long she slept she did not know, but she
was awakened by the slamming Of
door. She listened moment, and then
feeling sure that the wind had forced
open the outer door Of the kitchen, she
arose, and slipping on her shoes, went
down stairs, to fasten it.
There she found she was quite right in
her conjecture. The slight bolt had
given away, and the door was swing
ing back and forth at the will Of the
wind.
But she was quite equal to the emer-
gency. Lighting lantern, and getting
hammer and some nails. she pushed the
heavy toolchest against the door, and
standing on it, securely nailed piece Of
wood across from one doorpost to the
other. Satisfied that all was safe. she
turned to 60 up stairs, when, with
roar, like that of some wild beast, the
tempest smote the house Then came a
fearful crash, that almost stunned her
and made her heart stand still.
What had happeneda Had the roof
been carried awayl Had the stone chin
ney fallen and crushed it in2 The next
moment, in lull Of the wind, she heard
her child's voice.

John Poe and one who is in the ring

The editor of the Libel seems to
consider it great crime to have or
ganize the Democratic party. He is
reminded of the fact that one year ago
he published call for a Republican
convention at this place which was
made wholly by the cabal and without
consulting any members of the county
central committee. At different
times since, he has tried to organize
the same party but the movement was
opposed by leading Republicans on
the grounds that his blackguard
sheet would assume to he the party
organ which was too mnch for even Il
decent Republican TO swallow.

Horse Breeding.

in vogue in the United States, The mode
OF procedure is something like this: Those
in any given neighbo7hood who are espe-
cially interested in horses choose from
among their number a few men well fitted
for that work. and have them attend
stallion shows, which arc instituted
for the purpose OF giving the public
a chance to select horses for neigh
borhood service. The committee visit
these shows, inspect the animals on ex-
hibition, and contract with some horse
owner or owners for the exclusive use OF
theit horse or horses by his clients for the
period OF two years. The terms OF service
are agreed upon, NIL the details are ar
ranged, and not %intrequently a handsome
premium is given in addition for nm unu-
sually desirable stallion. The good points
Of this system are obvious. Among Others
