about that? Are we going to let him

Of his salary, every cent Of which he
and his family 90 badly need? Are
we? II we do II, II seems to me that

taxes, / would feel that I was almost
bankrupt; and yet / am sure that i
could stand that loss a good deal easier

we will. Come, take hold with me.

Daring Trip Through the Rapids.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, May An
the presence of between two and three
thousand people, f. c. Heine, a fisher
man of this city, Sunday afternoon
made the perilous trip through the rap
ids above the American falls down to
within few feet of Goatisland, in an
ordinary fiat-bottomed boat. The float
ing ice in the river made the voyage
more than usually dangerous. The
late Anthony Waller, in an endeavor
to make this trip three years ago, lost
his life by being swept over the falls.
