Wicked Trick on n Trout Fisher.

J. II. Blethen and Alfred Stetson, of
Linneus, went on trouting expedition
and captured eleven fish. They placed
them in their wagon and then went off
to look after some bear traps While
they were gone DR.. Boyd happened along,
and recognizing the team proceeded to
purloin the trout. He took them to Mr..
Blethen's house, told Mrs. Blethen how
he came by them, and requested her to
say nothing, but to cook them the next
day and surprise her husband mean
time she would probably hear a pretty
good fish story. he predicted. When
Mr.. Blethen arrived home his story, in
reply to his wife's inquiries as to his luck,
was fully up to the expectation of the
plotters. Hesaid they had caught for
ty-eight trout, and most of them were
of monstrous size, in fact the finest
string he ever saw, but some evil minded
person had stolen them from the team
while they were absent, and so on.
When his wife produced eleven fried
little fishes for dinner the next day and
told him that there were his forty-eight
monsters the fisherman wilted like a
morning glory in monday sun.-Houl-

The Land of Duclxa.

There are more ducks in the Chinese
empire than in all the world outside of
it. They are kept by the Celestials on
every farm, on the private roads, on the
public roads, ON the streets of cities and
on all the lakes, ponds, rivers, streams
and brooks in the country. Every Chi
nese boat also contains batch of them.
There are innumerable Matching estab-
lishments all through the empire, many
of which are said to turn out about fifty
thousand young ducks every year.
Sailed and smoked duck and ducks
eggs constitute two of the most common
and important articles of diet in China.

Critical Periods In Life.

There are two periods of life in which
the powers of resistance TO adverse influ-
ences are excessively weak. In infancy,
from birth TO years Of age, but espe-
cially in the first year Of existence, the
power of life is very feeble, and this is
the reason that so many infants die sud-
denly in commissions Again, after the
age of G5 is passed the vital tenacity is
lowered, the substance of the heart and
Of the muscles in general becomes fatty,
and there is imminent liability to sud-
den failure Of the hearts action.-Chat-

The Axis of the Continent.

Boston is sometimes called the ''hub
of the universe" and has considerable
claim, in an intellectual way. The
Rocky mountains are alluded to as the
backbone of the continent"
they are certainly rugged and knobby
enough to constitute formidable and
reliable Yertebral column. (No Won
der Uncle Sam is SO independent with
such backbone). If these are APP
propriate appellations, then we may
rightly call the Mississippi valley the
axis of North America. In its bor-
ders are the bulk of the people-it is
the food storehouse of the whole coun-
try-and the remainder of the country
revolves about it, dependent upon it
for food, for the great working force,
for the political power. To reach any
portion of this valley above st. Louis
THE Burlington" is the natural, the
best, the quickest route for the travel

The darked-winged angel, death, has
robbed us of treasure and made a va,
cant seat in a loving home circle. Oh
how our hearts are overwhelmed with
grief that one SO true and noble should
be summoned so suddenly to another
sphere. But, though in his death VIC
realize great loss, yet we rejoice in the
hope that there is meeting place above
From our home his form has vanished
And the voice we loved is still;
From our hearts all joy is banished.
His vacant place none else can fill.
Father. thou from sight thou'rt hidden,
As we yield thee to the grave.
Still we know that Christ has hidden;
He has promised. He will save.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest father, though thou hast left us.
And thy loss we deeply feel,
Still it's God that has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal
Yet again we hope TO meet thee.
When the day of life is fed,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
