TurRE have been two springs discov.

only about fifteen feet apart, the water
OF ono of which is colder than ice, II
possible, while tho other almost reaches
boiling temperature.
AT Cardington, o., a great rat hunt Of
two weeks duration ended recently.

killed was 6,0S5. Shaw's team got s23

In Suawannee County, Fla, recently
q minister OF certain denomination
was converted through tho preaching OF
a minister Of different denomination,
and all the members of the converted

ami followed their old shepherd.
A STEER which seems destined to cir
Gus life is exhibited at Pimlico, Md.
II is years old, IA feet in length, II
hands high, and weighs 1000 pounds.
Not content with being curiosity as
to height, the steer has tho added foat-
ure of double joints in his legs.
The Alton railroad has a funny case
on its hands. A carload OF mules was
shipped from Bloomington recently.
Three men counted tho mules and swore
there were fifteen in the car, and the
door was sealed by an agent When
the car arrived at st. Louis the seal
was found intact, and only fourteen
mules were (" 70 found in tho car.
A WESTERN inventor is endeavoring
TO interest capital In his electric magic
lantern for casting or rejecting adver-
tisements on tho dark clouds that ofton
hang low over city. The inventor
claims TO have secured contracts from
several woll-knQwn firms for displaying
their cards in this manner. IL tho idea
is fully developed we may expect to SEQ
some very startling and grotesquo
effects.

thin to keep as from starvin'--a bit Of
bread that's lt to Get. or a dime 10 bny
loaf; the shops where live are open,
sir, yit"
Late passers-by heard tho curious dia-
logue and loitered. Silas Marks jerked
the door open and laid rough hand on
the child. She cringcd ut his touch.
''Oh, amt goin' TO hurt you, ye beg
gar's brat Come inside and let me see
what's in that basket I'll give yo
neither nickel OF dime, but II there's a
crust left may throw you that"
The child stood inside the hall, and by
the fiaring light Of the candle seemed to
be about nine years old--a wan, childish
little creature, dressed IN rags; her long,
thin legs encased in torn, black stock
ings. and miserable apology for a
shawl thrown over her head; her
straight black hair hung in ragged
locks over her white face and that
looked almost CHASTITY in its setting Of
black shawl border.
III that bread amt no good don't

"Weli baggage, do you expect mince

Marks, in high sarcasm.
"Oh, sir. wouldn't that be bu-hnel

won't take a loaf of bread that's good

Silas Marks was frightened; he looked
into the face Of the uncanny child and
his dry lips formed one word;
"Nuthin'."

The voice seemed to have risen into

That night the widow read the Psalm.
''The Lord is my Shepherd, shall not

And then she bowed her aged head.
While Faith took wings for an upward
mount
AS she prayed-"Give me my daily bread;
On, Lord, Thou knowest how poor am"
Next morn she was busy laying her plan
For little feast Of her own that day;
A slice OF toast and a cup Of tea,
When a step was heard in the passage-way
And a cheery voice saying; IT'S only me;
The folks have sent you something down
To make you a dinner. Widow Gray;
And best OF all there's nothing 70 pay
This tcn-dollar bill-don't stare so hard
Squire said you could use It, he knew you
could;
And this isn't all, for out in the yard
There's taters and turnips and -four and

Lord, have more than my daily bread"
And John, as he turned 10 go away,
Saw her pale lips move and heard her say:
Its Just like him--God bless the man."
That night the Squire sat in his chair
Reading a chapter before he prayed.
While an unseen One stood with book and
pen
And wrote, while a smile on his visage
played:
blessed Is he who loveih his fellow-men.
And sendeth an answer along with his
prayer"
