looked upon this as o direct interpretation OF the
Almighty to save them from tho horrors Of the

Of the place, NJ. P. Suber, the station agent,
who has lived here thirty-six years, asked him
to tell me what he knew Of the origin Of this
spring. He informed me that he had known
the spring for more than thirty years. That
when this region was an unbroken forest, this
spring was q faEorite resort for deer. That
when the stoekade was erected in February.
1854, the w0rlmen in exeavating the trench
filed up the spring so that the water oozed
Through the sand to the creek below without
rising to the surface. The food that swept the
stockade walls away during that terrible
August storm washed the earth from over the
spring. and it again burst out clear and strong
as OF old. The furnishing prisoners, knowing
nothing of its existence heretofore naturally re-
earded it as an especial gift for their benefit.

them carefully hidden from the sun, like mush-
rooms growing white in cellar, so that they
might look and feel rs though they had never
come in contact with anything rougkef than

are in high approval. The daughter OF wealth
grasps cars, tennis bats, bride reins and tricy-

proud of the cailous palms which ensue and the
red rosiness Of the knuckles that used to be the
hue Of the lily. Her liking for outdoor eNer-

Buffalo EXPIRES


The great preacher never sleeps with his
clothes on. Once, when demonstrated with upon
the siugularity of his conduct in this respect
and the pernieious effect the example might
possibly have upon the younger members of his
congregation, he replied with the frank and open
candor that always characterized him, that he
would give worlds to be able rid himself of the
custom-and added that the anguish he had suf-
fered in trying to break himself Of the habit had
made him old before he was ninety. Mr.
Beecher never wears his hats dinner. He does
not consider it healthy. 1t does not immedi-
ately brake down ones constitution, but is slow
and sure. He knows one case where the man
persisted in the habit, in spite Of the tears and
entreaties of his friends, util it was too late and
he rea2ed the due reward Of his rashness-for
it carried him off at last at the age of E06.
Had the man listened to reason he
might have lived to be comfort to his
parents and a solace to their declining years
Mr.. Beecher never swears. In all his life a
profane expression has never passed his lips.
But if he were to take it into his head to try it
once he would make even that disgusting habit
seem beautiful he would handle it as it never
was handled before, and If there was q whole
some lesson hidden away in it anywhere, he
would ferret it out and use it with tremendous
effect. PanOpolied with his grand endowments.
his Judgment his discriminating taste. his
felicity of expression, his graceful fancy-n Mr.
Beecher had mind to swear he could throw
into 1t any amount of poetry and pafhos, and
splendid imagery and moving earnestness, and
resistlesS energy, topped OF and climaxed with a
gorgeous pyrOtechnie, and con7agration, and
fligree and fancy swearing that would astonish
and delight the hearer, and forever after culver
through his memory an exquisite profusion of
rainbows. and music, and thunder and lightning.
A man with = high order Of intellect and appre-
eiation c0rld sit and listen 20 Mr. Beecher swear
for a week without getting tired.

Finely the tapering ash displays
Its just proportions, fairly crowned;
rs peak ascends, and from its base
The stately branches sweep the ground.
The rugged bark in furrowy folds
Asserts an athletics make within,
And to the supple sinew molds,
As fits the snake his leathern skin.
The fertile alder hundred armed,
Makes every unclaimed spot its own;
The iawless life is surely charmed
That swells its pollen pregnant como.
The maple Through its kindly veins
Filters the air-dFenched sunlight fine;
The climbing sap its height attains,
