Blewitt made some adverse re-
marks about the singing at church,
was led by a deacon with a fiddle.
The sermon was too long, too. 1t
lasted two hours. On his way home
from church his wife appeared to be
in fear Of something and urged him
to hurry up. He asked her what
allied her, and she told him, in a
trembling voice, that his queer talk
had made the minister think him be-
witched, and she feared he would be
burned or drowned.
'What kind of a country is this,
anyhow" asked Blewitt.
Then Mrs. Blewitt reminded hm
that in New England several had
thus died, and that everybody be-
lieved in it and the church was death
on witchcraft.
''Then | guess we better light out
from here" said Blewitt, as he clap
ped spurs to his horse.
Away they went, rattle te bang,
over stumps and logs and stones,
and there was rattle and roar be-
hind and he knew they were after
him. They came to a log bridge
over a brook, and they struck it SO
hard that down it went, Blewitt and
horse and wife, and with a yell Of
despair he awoke-yes, awoke, for
the chair had tipped too far back
and he was in a heap on the floor,
with his head in a pan of apples and
his feet in Mrs. Blewitt's work basket.
He heard the rafting yet, and he
looked out of the window to discover
its source, and saw that the boys had
started the reaper in the field OF
wheat One of the girls had just
driven into the yard with the top
carriage, and was just taking out his
daily mail, and had offered him a
telegraph dispatch about his hops.
His wife was putting in tenor to the
racket with sewing machine in the
front room, and the hired girl was
backing the cooking range.
With a pleased smile Blewitt
sauntered out to the wheat field, and,
as the reaper stopped, he said:
"Darn the good old times! These
ere times is good enough for me. -
"What's that, father?" said John.
81 thought you was in favor of the
real, honest, reliable, good old-fash-
ioned times of 100 years ago."
"Never you mind, john" said the
smiling father. "You can go down
and buy that Thompson colt you've
been wantin' and let Charley have
your side-bar buggy; and-say, il
the WHEAT amt takin' no hurt, you
may go down to BArnum's circus to-
morrow and cut the wheat next day."
He looked down at his diagonal
pants and white Marseilles vest and
muttered, as he went to the house
Darn the good old times! These
'cre times will dew fur me?"

THE RULING PASSION STRONG.

In one of the coast States there lived
two men of very dissimilar positions,
but whose similar taste in one thing led
them to ''meet together" on an occa-
sion long remembered by many present.
One was an eminent judge, and the
other was the French keeper of sail
or's loft. The judge was holding court,
and the loft-keeper was an important
witness in case before him. The wit
ness was called, but he came not, nor
answered. "Where is Susan?" asked
the judge, impatient at the non-appear-
ance of the witness.
ale will not answer, your honor"
replied the sheriff.
"Go and find him, and bring him
into court !" cried the judge, sternly.
The sheriff went to look for him, and
found the Frenchman a deeply inter-
ested spectator of a cock. fight then
going on in the village. Returning to
the court room he reported to the
Judge: "Your honor, Mr.. Susan is
looking at a chicken-fght, and says
that all the judges in the State can't
bring him away"
Immediately change came over the
judges feelings and expression, and in
a mild but earnest and clearly heard
voice he asked, lis it true, sheriff, that
the cock-fght is now a-going on p
at is, your honor" replied the
sheriff.
"Wel, gentlemen" said the judge
addressing the jury and lawyers, 81

To Attain a Long Life.

The sum and substance of all the
advice that can be given on that point
is that a man must avoid excuses, he
must live nationally, according to the
laws of his being. You cannot get
two quarts of milk in quart Jug. You
can only secure a certain amount OF
happiness in this world and you can
only secure it according to good old
fashioned notions, founded on common
sense, virtue and morality. Millions
have tried their own foolish and vicious
ways of reaching the goal, but the
world has never reported that they have
been successful.-P I. BaJNuu1 tn

FINANCIAL.

New York, March l2.-TSpecial Telegram
TO the BEE. l-SToCKs storm east prac-
tically closed the New York stock exchange
to-day, there being less than fifty brokers on
the floor when business opened. The early
quotations showed but little change from the
closing figures on Saturday. AS many out
of-town operators were unable to reach New
York at all on account of the impediment to
travel the total transactions were very light
and unimportant. New England was the
weakest stock on the list and broke e on
selling by Boston parties, who said the COM
pany's finances were in bad shape. A rally
followed the decline and the last sales were
Il per cent below the top. At noon the ex-
change adopted a resolution that so far as
possible all dealings should be suspended and
all deliveries go over until to morrow.
