HE ALWAYS FOUND A WAY
ONE OF S. D. r.'s REM1N1soENoEs.

Fifty years ago worked for Asa Morse, at West Woodstock. He was then Se years old. I was with him three years and in that time never knew him to stay away from church on Sunday unless he was sick, which was not often. He had g large farm and did the most of his work with oxen, but kept one horse with which to drive to church, to mill, &c. He said that the horse was g years old, and he had him from a colt, and that there was never but one bad thing about him-he never could find him in the same lot ir which he had put him. The place was one and half miles from the Baptist church, and one mile north of the main road. In winter the north road would be blocked with snow at times, when the farmer would cross a long pond to thf main road if the ice was safe. One Sat urday there came deep snow, and or Sunday morning the banks were six feet deep, and the pond was not safe.
 Then, said to myself, MT. M. can't gc to meeting to-day; but when the proper time came he called upon me to put the saddle on the horse, as he could not gc to church in the sleigh. thought ht could not go any way, but he started or his horse.
 got over in the mill-yard, and behind big tree where could see the first big snow-bank. thought would have more fun than he when he got into it, but got left. The road ran south from the mill yard. A man named Childs owned lanC east of the road, where were four moving lots, divided by stone walls. Some of the snow had blown off from these lots. MT Morse rode his horse into the first lot right up to the first wall. What he wal going to do then was what l wanted t know, and I soon found out. He dis mounted, got oyer the wall, pulled on tn, bridle, and said, "Come over, Jack. Jack did go over very nicely. Then Mr Morse got upon the horse again and rod, to the next wall, and went over the sam, way.
 When MT M came home told hin that thought 1t was very wrong to fns fault with his horse for getting out ot tn < said he. told him what had seen lozIaiaa Alid sllat he had IssTned stns horse t jump Mr. M. made reply that he s'coult not go to meeting any other way today and that settled 1t.

HEART-BREAK.

A fair boy sits on his mothers knee; Clear rings his laughter in childish glce. She raises her heart to the throne above, "God keep my darling, my life, my love :;
 Keep him fair and pure!" No shadow of sin o'er his brow is cast; o God, that such beauty might always last,
 While the years endure! A brave youth stands by his mothers side '; His clear eyes answer her look of pride. She gazes with joy in that noble face, Where virtue and honor her love can trace,
 And her heart beats high. She sees in bright vision the manly
 strength, The prize and the crown he shall win at
 length,
 As the years glide by. A young man moves through fostaI
 throng; The hours speed onward with mirth and
 song. The brimming cup in his hand is raised, And quaffed while it's sparkle in song is
 praised,
 Till the brain grows wild. Yet he sees not the serpent in hiding
 there; He hears not the voice of his mothers
 prayer,
 As she mourns her child. A fair bride kneels by the altar stair; Strains of sweet melody fill the air; She lists to the words that bid doubts de-
 part, As they pledge her the wealth of a strong
 mans heart,
 And she trusts his VOW. They dream not of danger, they know no
 fear; And life seems but gladn ss and love is
 dear,
 As they silent bow. A wife bends low o'er coffin lid Where all life's treasures and joy lie hid. Fast fall her tears OCT that once fair brow, Sin stained and furrowed and palid now,
 And she prays to die, Her heart thrObs with anguish lOv6's
 dream is OCT; And life is burden; hope comes no more,
 Though the years glide by. Father in heaven, thou Friend divine, Rescue each wandering child of thine; Turn back the current of sin that rolls, Sweeping in ruin these precious souls,
 Unto dark despair. Jesus, thou Savior, o hear our cry! Speak to them; rescue them ere they.die
 Spirit, hear our prayer. Janesville, Wis. REV. 8. F. WILDER.

Philadelphia Press: Collision is the only great danger the modern liner has to dread. With their engine power no wind can drive them ashore out of the tropics. Their coulse can be laid with precision which prevents wrecks from er- TOTS in dead reckoning. No big vessel has foundered in decade at sea.

Friends of Elijah Shaw of Wales will regret to learn of a serious injury he sus- tained last week. MT. and Mrs. Shaw have been in the habit of spending the winters in Raleigh, N. O., where the Shaw university, founded by MT. Shaw, is To- cated. They have been in Raleigh for several weeks, and Sunday night MT. Shaw vas walking in the university grounds, when he slipped on patch of ice and fell. His right leg was broken just above the ankle, and the fracture is said to be se- rious one. He was taken to his rooms at the Marlborough, where the injury was cared for. MT. Shaw is being treated by the head of the medical department of the university, so that his friends and family know that he is in good hands. Although he is 76 years of age, he sustained the shock we'll, and is reported to be gaining.

The COWS when discov- hxrA A of something 10 eat, and the place in which they were housed was far from be- ing comfortable. Belknap was not at his home when Mir. Thrall called there, but the agent took the COWS and put them in charge of a neighbor to care for them. He told Belknap's wife that as soon as her husband satisfied the officers of the society that the stock would be cared for properly, it would be returned to him.
 A lamentation from the Manchester Herald: We have always given the young men of Manchester credit for being suf- ficiently wide-awake and up-to- date, but our belief in them has been rudely shat tered. They have assumed so coy and retiring manner of late that the girls in sheer desperation have been forced to en- certain them. This is all wrong. We have plenty of pretty and clever girls in Manchester, and our young men should wish no more congenial occupation than caring for their comfort and striving to ameliorate their lonely condition. We are ashamed of the boys, but we believe they are seeing the error of their ways as we hear that g consolation party is be. ling organized by the young men. This is las 1t should be, and let there be consola. ton enough for all.

How TO SAVE MONEY AND HEALTH.- Most people have some trouble with their health which they would like cured if it could be done easily and cheaply. Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York City, who is the most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, makes the following offer: He gives you the privilege of consulting him, free of charge, through his great system of letter correspondence. Write him just how you feel and what symptoms trouble you. He will answer your letter, explaining your case thoroughly, telling just what ails you and how to get strong and we'll. He gives the most careful attention to every letter, and makes his explanations so clear that you understand exactly what your com plaint is. And for all this you pay noth- ing. You do not leave your home, and have no doctors fee to pay. The doctor makes 8 speciality of treating patients through letter COT rrespondence, and is hav- ing wonderful success. He is the discov. erer of that celebrated medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem. edy. If you write him at once you will doubtless be cured.

h is strange that the great state of Pennsylvania permitted so much of neg lect and vandalism to iniure the place of conflict at Gettysburg decisive bat tle-field of the civil war. In the absence of state pride it was the duty of congress fo preserve such wonderful memorial as Gettysburg. Chickamauga and Shiloh are already protected, and within a few years it is likely that other scenes of his toric conflict will be set apart as places to which this and coming generations may repair to recruit their patriotism.

 A Denver correspondent of the New York Sun furnishes study of the tramp in the west, in which he says that the tramp there is almost sure to turn into a desperate or become decent citizen. As tramp he is simply ignored. "He asks for food and does not get it. He seeks a bed and does not find it. He begs for money, but remains penniless. He en- dures this state of affairs as long as possi- ble." Then he has to go to work or be- come an outlaw. But if he is merely a vagabond instead of professional tramp he usually stands the conditions for year or so and then drifts back to the east.

Boston Herald: Winter is getting to be dreadfully monotonous. When one 1 comes to think about it, how strange it is that none of the seasons is such bore as | the one with us now. Wha has the cour- age to wish time away? Yet, the first touch of spring in the air, the day when this blanket of not too fresh snow can be put away in Dame Natures camphor trunk, will be hailed happy one by lots of people; not by those who drive about in Russian sleighs and who are wrapped in Persian lamb and other precious skins of seal and sable, but for the rank major ity hobbling along in depressing over shoes, and squeezing a nickel in their pockets before humbly signalling a trol- ley car. Tothis latter class of foot pas sengers, at least, winter is a sad grind. l In theory, the exhilarating frosty air is admirable, but when it comes to such frostiness as the country has been endur- ing for weeks past, only sprinkled by such 1 blizzards as have scared the inhabitants blue, the romance of it doesn't amount to row of pins.
