THE POWER OF HABIT
By John 3. Cough.


remember riding toward the
Niagara Falls, and | said to a
gentleman near HE, "What
river is that, sir?"
1.-THE Niagara river"
"Well, it is a beautiful stream
bright, smooth and CLASSY.
How far off are the rapids p
"About a mile Or two"
"Is it possible that only mile
or two from us we shall find the
water in such turbulence as it
must be near the falls"
"You will find it so, sir"
And so l found it; and that
first sight Of the Niagara I shall
never forget. Now launch your
bark upon the Niagara river; it is
bright, smooth, beautiful and
CLASSY; there is a ripple at the
bow; the silvery wake you leaye
behind you only adds to your
enioylne nt; down the stream you
glide; you have oars, mast, sail
aud rudder, prepared for every
contingency, and thus you go
out OH your pleasure excursion
And so with lunch, wine, and
cigars three young men did set
out One calm June morning.
Presently someone cries out
from the bank:
"Young men, ahoy y
"What is it?"
THE rapids are below you
TIA! ha! we have heard Of the
rapids below us, but we are not
such fools as to get into them;
when we find We are going too
fast to suit.ou convenience, then
hard up the helm and steer
to shore; when we find we are
passing given point too rapid
~, then We will set the mast in
tile socket, hoist the sail, and
speed to land
"Young men, ahoy = comes
the voice again
"Wl1at is it? Another old
hay-seed warning us Of what we
know j.
The rapids are below you"
Ola! ha! we will laugh and
quaff; all things delight us; what
care we for the future? No man
ever saw it. 'Sumcientunto the
day is the evil thereof We will
enjoy life while we may, and
catch pleasure as it flies. This
is the time for enjoyment; time
enough to steer out of dan
ger when we find we are sailing
too swiftly with the stream"
"Young men, ahoy !"
",What is it,"
"I>he rapids arc below you.
Now see the water foaming all
around you See how quick you
pass yon point. Hard up the helnl
! quick pull for your
lives !-pull till the blood starts
from your nostrils and the veins
stand like Whipcords upon the
brow Set the mast i'll the
socket; hoist the sail T.
All it is too late. Shrieking,
cursing, bowling, DISAPPEARING,
over they go; aid thousands tins
go 0usr rapids Of rum and ruiu
every gear By Me toze*y Of Ell
kad!ts, declaring, "Whef I find
out it is injuring me, then I will
give it up" The power Of evil
habit is deceptive and fascinat-
ing, and the man by coming to
false conclusions argues his way
down to obstruction.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Boy Years of Age Burned to
Death.

BOY @ Years of Age Burned to
Death.
Tweed, Ca, March IA heartrending
accident, by which a 6-year-old boy was
shockingly burnt to death, and his pa
rents severely injured. occurred last Fri
day evening, two miles from Regnant,
in Johnson county. just over the line of
Laurens. Mr.. Daniel Smith, a well known
farmer, called in his neighbors last week,
10 roll number of logs in the field, pre-
paratory to cleaning the ground for the
ploWs. He told his son to fire the logs,
cauuoning him TO be careful and keep
them burning. The boy did as requested.
In throwing together one of the smolder-
ing heaps. the boys clothes became ig-
nited by the fiaring sparks famed by
the wind, and in a second his entire per-
son was in a sheet of flames. Crazed with
fright, the boy dashed TO a pile of fence
rails, and thrust his flaming head into
them, with the hope of extinguishing the
fire, but TO no avail. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith,
attracted by the shrieks of the boy ran
with all haste to his assistance. Both
fought braYely to save the child. but in
their heroic efforts. were severely burnt
about the face and hands. The boy was
carried to the house, and medical aid sum-
moned. Everything was done to allevi-
ate his suffering, but after surviving
twelve hours of eXcruciating agony, he
died. The boy was perfectly conscious
up to the time of his DEATH telling those
around his bedside that his pretty white
hair was burnt off his head
