Money is the universal necessity, and none
but cynic or a fool Will affect to despise it..
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster
county, n. T., had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole OF his thigh bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
deliverer. The family physicians refused to
amputate the limb, asserting that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. Or.
Daofd KENNEDY, OF Hondout, n. y. who
was consulted, held different opinion aud
amputated the limb. The Doctor then adj

Then he stood on his head and

Persons VINO Arc Born Go bring Good
Fortune Go Their Friends.
A singular case, which was recently
brought before the Orphans Court in
Philadelphia, disclosed the prevalence Of
a remarkable superstition Five men,
all OF whom had families 10 support
upon limited incomes conteuded for
the possession of a little German girl,
whose parents had recently died. They
all wanted TO adopt her, and each
brought forward testimony to grove
that he, more than the others could
give her a comfortable home and ten
der care The reason for this competi-
tion was openly stated in court to be
because the girl was popularity believed
TO be a mascOtto.
A mascutte according TO the super
stitious of the peasants OF France and
Germany is q person who is born, not
TO obtain good fortune for herself but
to bring il to others. Wherever she
goes, happiness follows her Those
whom she loves arc destined to long
life, honor and every blessing they de-
sire The mascotte is, in short, the op-
posito Of the unhappy being who, ac
COrdng TO the same superstition, is born
with mnl occbtO, or the evil-eye, that
curses all upon whom it looks
When the German peasants think
they have d scOvercd a true mascOttc
among the children in a village, she Is
treated as if she were princess in dis
guise. Gifts, caresses and Hattery follow
her all he life from those who hope to
win her good will and consequent bles-
sing.
The suparst tion seems ludicrous
cnorgh to us. And yet there are, here
aud there, girls and women who seem
to carry sunshine comfort and happt
ness wherever they go, and if other
women could find out their secret il
would be worth more to them than
Aladd MS lamp Young men crowd
about beautiful women and try to win
them for wives, as if beauty made a
mascotle But If the beauty covers a
sour, envious disposition, OF a sharp
temper, a vulgar mind, or slOyenly
habits. happiness will fly out OF the door
as the bride crosses the threshold
Many a man, too, marries q wealthy
girl, expecting that money will make
her masco,tc, to find that happiness
is one thing which no chequo can com
mand into a home.
The mascOtte in our American life is
apt TO be the woman who, though ugly,

sunny temper, a genius for extracting
pleasures out of the barest life, and that

A Faithful MaiI-carrier.

Dogs have been put to all sorts of
uses by man. Not only do they guard
our houses and keep away thieves, but
they hunt game for people to shoot, and
go after it when it falls; they churn the
butter and lead the blind; they take
care Of the babies, and drag us out of
the water when we are so careless as to
fall in. In more ways than ! can tell
they work for us and delight to do it,

We are not slow to avail ourselves
of this most willing servant and one
would think we had found out all the
uses to which a dog can be put, but a
little IN ng camp in California has
discovered a new thing for him to do
to carry letters.
The place is hardly big enough to
have name, and of course can not
think of having a post-otlice; but the
few miners there want their letters Just
as badly as though they lived in New
York City itself. They could not lind
a man to bring them three miles from
the nearest post-ofice, for every man in
camp wants to dig for gold, so they
have taught a dog to do it. Dorsey is
the name of the faithful fellow, and he
runs his three miles every day, from
Calico, where the stage stops, to Bis
marc&, the camp, in twenty minutes,

tie of the injury. During tne first part OF
the having season, a Michigan farmer
bought two gallons of liquor every day
or two, to produce perspiration in the
havfeld. AS might naturally be eX-
pected at night the men, however much
they might have perspired, had notper-
spired the rum out of them by long
wavs. The good wife severely objected
TO this condition of things and told her
husband if he would Danish the liquor
from the field she would supply the
means of an exceedingly free perspira-
ton. He complied with her wishes,
and she furnished the men with
all the hot tea they could drink,
carving it steadily from the
house 10 the field. The husband
and the men were delighted with the
change and never felt better according
to their own confessions There was
only one man who felt badly over the
reform, and he was the man who sold
the liquor, and who in our hearing was
lamentng the fact that that good wife
had saved her husbands money, and
the health of himself and his men. IL
would seem as if independent manhood
would be sufficient to break q weak,
foolish habit which the liquor seller en-
couraUes for his own selfish purposes
and then LAUGHS over the weakness
upon which he lives and thrives. A
man usually feels pretty foolish after
he has spent his money in reYengetul
lawsuit In his sober moments he feels
ashamed of himself to think that he has
been so weak rs to spend his money Tor
the benefit OF lawyers. And yet that
same man will ride up to the rumshop,
from which the keeper, who would cast
him from his premises if he were mon
eyless, rushes out to hold his horse and
bid him welcome because he can say in
his heart; This poor fool is going to
spend his money at my bar for that
which satisieth not but will take away
his brains. Under such eNasperating
circumstances the drinking man wastes
his substance, robs his children and oft
en- deprivos his wife of many of the COM
forts that belong to her - Western
