LOST AND FOUND.

James Mitchell of Hill Top hitched his
| colt, White Eagle, as he supposedly the
village, one night last week. Near the

some mysterious way, got loose, or, as
James says, when | went for my team
found nothing left but the post where
the colt ought to be- Mr. Mitchell look
ed and enquired nearly all the remainder
of the night, but failed to find the least
trace or track of his valuable colt, sup
posing it TO be stolen, carriage, harness
and all. He went home to pass few
hours of rest. Found While Mrs Mitch
ell and son were eating breakfast, they
saw the horse quietly feeding. Every
thing, horse, wagon, harness, all safe
and sound. Not even a tobacco string
broken. Mr. Mitchell was more than

"GoNE WITH A HANDsoMER MAN .

"GONE WITH HANDSOMER MAN"
A young Copperfeld of our town has
been for months the victim of raging
fever, neither fitful nor an intermittant
one. He is good young man. There
are few as good as he, but have their me
moirs written before they reach matur-
ity. He is among those who assemble
'sWith praise and entreating at the viii
lage prayer meeting" But few nights
ago all wondered to see his place there
vacant. Whether his labors in the hay
field had been too long and arduous or
whether he had worried his brain over
the conjugation of the verb ssamo," or
whether he had mistaken the points of
the compass, the philosopher knew not.
Copperfeld arrived late. so late that he
decided not to go in, but like Mary's lit
tie sheep, to wait patiently about till
Mary did appear. Of course he must es-
cort his adorable one past the dangerous
corner grocery and the dreadful dog
whose bark sent her -timidalittle heart in
| to her sweet little mouth. The words of
the poet, GAIL things are his that wait
eth, waiteth patiently" were fallacy,
in this instance, for when she came out
she was clinging to the arm of the young
reporter, her jetty braids in close prox-
unity to his auburn curls and her rosebud
mouth uttering just as syrupy words in
the city reporters ears as had ever fallen
upon his own. He recovered composure
sufficient to start for home, and as he
went over the hill his melodious tenor
voice was heard faltering out:
! Thou art not false but thou art tickle
To those thyself so tondly sought.
| The tear that thou hast forced to trickle
| Is doubly bitter from that thought.
| IT'S this that breaks the heart thou grievest,
Too well thou lowest, too soon thou leavest
The wholly false the heart despises
| And spurns deceiver and deceit,
| But she who not thought DISCUSSES,
| Whose love is sincere as sweet,
| When she can change who loved so truly,

ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS

George Alvord received quite a severe
blow in the side from the heels of horse,
on Saturday evening. Kicks and good
advice are among the things which it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
A few days ago, one of the horse train
ers of the village stopped at the corner
grocery for a few minutes. On leaving,
neither horse nor wagon seemed to mind
the rein. The man was at loss to know
whether his right hand was forgetting
its cunning, or the colt forgetting his
training. Investigation showed that a
bit of cord had become entangled among
the wheels, so that one fore and one hind
wheel were held firmly together. The
man drove off muttering about the "pes-
ky boys" and will hardly believe that it
was only circumstance.

Americas Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.

Said an eminent English scientist recently:
THE danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adop
tlon OF o wrong financial policy for the
nation, o. the spread of socialism, or the
increase Of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease-I had almost said national
erime-of overwOrk. The mad rush for
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
You are likely TO be one Of the victims |!

A considerable amount Of anxiety has
recently been caused. especially among
corporations controlling waterworks.
by the discovery that the passage Of
electric cars has q tendency To serious
ly injure the water pipes OF u city by
causing electrolysis. At a meeting of a
waterworks association an electrical
engineer stated that in some cases un-
der his observation lead pipes had en-
tlrely disappeared by the action OF the
electric current. and a like result had
attended the use of iron. galvanized
iron, brass. and "rustless" pipes. The
corrosive action takes place where the
current leaves the pipe, and not where
II enters It. and the phenomena men
toned were undoubtedly owing to the
operation of electric cars. 1t is salts
