An Iowa woman who was cleaning

out brick and mortar from the side

yet very mysufying. Take piece of
paper four inches one way by five
inches the other. Put the coin-a cent
will doom the paper and fold the
paper over 1t from the top to within
one inch of the bottom. Then fold
the right hand side of the paper under
the cent and the left hand side in the
same way. Don't forget that these
folds must be under the cent.
Then fold the bottom inch of the pa
per under the cent also, and it will
seem that you have securely wrapped
the cent up, whereas 1t will be in a
sort of pocket. and will readily slip
out into either OF your hands at your
pleasure.
Allow the spectators to feel the coin
through the paper: then take the pa
per from your left hand into your
right. and let the cent slip out into
your left hand as you do so. This you
must do dexterously, so that no one
may see the act. Now burn the paper.
And the cent will have disappeared.

A correspondent to the OuaChl- ta Herald, of Camden, giving an account of the speaking at Mag nesia Springs, concludes as fol lows:
 Judge Wood and Gov. Davis followed in speeches alomg the lines heretofore pursued by them and which have been reported at length oil former occasions. The Gov. has lost the confident tone of former addresses, and in this speech told his friends that if he won in this race 1t would require a great effort on the part of his followers, aud that they would have to work and ride night and day, and that hard, and as they had never done before. It was the opinion of those who saw and heard him that he already saw defeat staring him in the face. and that at an early date he would abandon the race = There can be no question but what a large majority of the crowd were for Judge Wood, both he and Nandeventer were the recipient of numerous bou- quets of flowers. and at the con. clusion Judge Wood received an ovation rarely accorded candi- date. the vast crowd of ladies and gentlemen cfowding around

A Memorial Mrs. Geo. Wells.

Another soul has winged its way to heaven.
 4e ruthless ones, pour not into tire bereaved hearts the uncouth va porings of idle thought; too deep snd tender Is the wound for the eoucb of aught save the gentle spir- 1t of God
 8ll, the sacred sadness of the heart that IS left, bereft of the dar ling life that has gone to the Spirit land,
 Chaotic and void, dark and cSFeary seems the future, robbed of the sweet companionsbip of the dear departed.
 In the economy of life is a strange truth in paradox. Since time has continued to roll its billowy course towards the shores of Eternity, the pure and the good, the young and the happy have ever and anon gone down beneath the wave, leav- ing loved ones floating on the tide in grief and despair; rebellious to- wards God, charging that He deals wIth cruel and unjust hand.
 Yet when the wounded heart would find healing balm no hu- maa sympathy nor feIIow-feeiing will avail 'tis God alone, in His own gentle and mysterious way, who binds the broken spirit.
 What human philosophy will justify the last sad stroke that old Death has dealt among us? A young and happy bride. fullof joy ous life and sweet anticipations; a grand mother, father, mother and brothers and d loving, devoted hus- band to love, cherish and comfort her; God had hedged sber tbout with that cndearing environment which makes life sweet and worth tbe living. In the midst of it all cruel Death stalks in and claims her as his OVID; takes away her pure and happy life, and oh how fierce the shafts that pierce the low ing hearts in which she was en- shrined! The human reason stands appalled,, finding neither mercy nor justice here.
 Be not dismayed, finite, feeble one. San you teii from whence came the gentle spirit that has been called away? Or can you tell the purpose of her short, sweet life on earth: Nay, her coming and her going are alike yelled mysteries of God. Surely she was in kindness given; then may she not have been in mercy taken: Who of us may question the wisdom and mer- ey of God: Endowed with life and the mystery of thought, we know not how nor why Then thrice happy is the mortal who, with reverent faith, can truly say |: Thy will be done.'
