THE SUN AND THE WIND.

a Dispute once arose Betwixt the
north Wind and The Sun, or at least,
Esop says so, as to their Respective
Superiority, and they agreed to See
which could first induce a Traveller to
part with His cloak. The North Wind
began and blew through his Whiskers,
with a very Cold Blast indeed, accom-
panied with shower of wet, Wet
Rain. That's where the Wind Got
Left. The Traveller exclaimed: "Darn
this Journeying on Foot, anyway. l
shall save time, attain Green old Age,
and leave a Respected name to my
children if | travel on that Famous
Line, the Wisconsin Central" And he
came In out of the wet" and bought a
Ticket, and rode in the Luxurious
Coaches, and slept at night in the
Magnificent Sleepers furnished by that
line

Bennie's Departure.

Our Benne has gone
Up to Heaven above;
His parents lament
For their ever lost love.
His sisters and brother
Will never forget,
As they pass by the place
Where his fate Bennie met.
We will think Of him ever
As a dear loving child,
He was always kind hearted,
Sweet tempered, and mild.
His school mates viii miss him
In school and in play,
They will think of their schoolmate
For many day.
They will gaze on the spot
Where last Bennie was seen,
With hls dear little brother
BY the deep gravel stream.
We trust he's in Heaven
We know the dear child;
Was innocent, childish, gentle and mild
1t is hard to be parted
From those that we love,
But we trust in our Father,
In Heaven above.
We will pray for dear Gennie,
His soul now at rest;
And thank our kind Father,
He knows what is best. A. NJ.

CHOLERA IN MICHIGAN.

DR.. F. D. Larke, of Rogers City,
Michigan, says the epidemic of last year
in Presque Isle County, in which SO
many persons lost their lives, was chol-
eric dysentery instead of cholera as
first reported. He used Chamberlain's
collie, cholera and diarrhoea remedy
and says it succeeded, where all other
remedies failed. Not a single case was
lost in which it was used. This Rem
edy is the most reliable and most sue
cessful medicine known for collie cholera
morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea and
bloody fux. % and 80 cent bottles for

their lives. The facts as we have been
able to CLEAN them are as follows: The

O'Clock in the morning and is known
as No. s, met with an accident at Shioc-
ton. As the train was passing over the
draw bridge which crosses Wolf River
at this point the engine and three
cars were pTecipitated to the bottom
by the draw giving way. James Doyle,
the engineer and bridge man (name not
known) who was riding on the engine.
were killed while the fireman and
brakeman came out without any injury
to their person. 1t is reported that the
fireman crawled out of the cab door
while in the bottom of the river and
was saved. James DOYLE was pretty
well known in this city and well
thought of by those who enjoyed his
acquaintance. The other party we
have failed to learn anything about
him.
