'l‘hc Windham Frog Panic.
The name of Colonel Dyer is more famil-

tion with the famous bullfrog 'scare than on
account of his emillfilllpllbllcfierficeSA This
incident occurred in _June, 1754, when the
apprehensions. of thepu'blicwere intensely
aroused by the impending. outbreak of the
French and Indian. wars. In the dead of a‘
dark andsultry night the'residents of Wind-
ham Green were awakened by .3 jumble of
strange sounds, full‘ of.horrible-suggestions
to a community living in;,'daily'v dread of an
attack. Panic-stricken neighbors were able
to distlnguish from the realises-the invisible
foe calls for “Colonel Dyer” and “Elderkin, .
too." showing thattheir leaders were. already,
marked for the sacrifice.
Not till the next morningwas' the mystery
explained? ‘It was then- found that during
the night some strange distemper had fallen
upon the frogs in Follett’s Pond, a mile east
of the village. -. Many were dead, and the

The Connecticut Miracle.
Miss Jennie Smith of Dayton. Ohio, re-
lated to the congregation of the First Metho-
dist Church, New Haven, recently, how her
faith had ‘made her whole. She had been
suffering for a long time from paralysis of
one of her limbs, when in August, 1877, she
was 'carried upon a cot to Ocean Grove, N.
J ., where she remained until the end of Oc-
tober. She was accompanied by her sister,
who had never seen her walk. She entered
the Homeopathic Hospital in Philadelphia.
,Her condition at that time she thus describ-
at times several persons to hold it down.
This increased in severeity as time went on,
unil it was found necessary to strap a heavy
weight upon it—for a large part of the time
a block of marble weighing fifty pounds.
In the fall of 1871, it was found necessary to
eucase it in abox, the box being fastened to
was relieved of this by a skillful surgical op-
_ oration.” Several consultations of physicians
were held, but. they decided: that there was
no help for her. Treatment was continued
more in deference to her wishes than in any
expectation of its affecting her recovery.
On the evening of March 18 she was impell-
ed to write to five friends asking their’united
prayers for that evening. She had already
in answer to her prayer. received a partial
restoration, and in the prospects of that
"meeting she found universal strength and
assurance. During the days that intervened
betweenlthe calling-50f, the meeting and its
'occurrence,is_he was. in a waiting attitude,
continuallyi'working' deeper into the will of
God. She suffered more and was weaker
than usual all the day and lay in an exten-
sion chair. As the friends gathered she told
them that the time had come when they
should ask definitely for a knowledge of
God’s will toward her. After an hour {or
more some left the meeting, but others re.
mained, among them belug her physician,
Dr. Morgan, who continued prayel', occas-
ionally varied with recitations of passages of
Scripture and song. About 11 o’clock Miss
,‘Smith was led to offer herself anew to God.
Up to this time there had been no increase
in strength or cessation from pain; in fact,
she was weaker than ever. After a brief
silence there suddenly flashed upon her mind
a most,.vivid . view of the healing of the
jwithero‘if arm. At the same instant the
Holy spirit bestowed on her. soul the faith
to claini tasimilarblessing, and she was at
once conscious of a baptism or strength as
sensibly and positively as if an electric shdck
had passed through her system. Laying her
hands'upon the arms of the chair, she raised
herself to a sitting posture, and then stood
upon her feet. She knelt in a prayer of
thanksgiving, and arose and walked across
the room. The nextday she was upon her
feet, and has slucebeen about the country,
and has never had [any trouble with the
lame limb, nor shown any symptoms of the
attendant maladies. ..
Branor Harm’s HAPPY Brawl—To a
friend, he said, “The first Sunday in the new
- year Ifsball spend in glory." So real,was
this “glory” to the man who'was so econ to
enter it, that he and his widowed sister, Mrs.
Cox, spoke together of the message which
he was to take from her to her husband.
“Gilbert, you know what I told you to tell
Wilbur ?” “Yes," was the reply; “I will
remember it all, and will deliver your mes—
sage." As time drew on, he remarked that
he had in the morning sent for Dr. Garrett,
who had promised to come to him at four
M Wmoon: " "“You‘wnlmounteri
mad the order to Dr. Garrett,” he said; “I
have no need for him. I am going where
the inhabitants shall never say ‘I am sick.’ ”
To his friend Dr. Upham, he said, "Preach a
whole Christ, a whole Gespel, a whole heav-
en, a whole hell, a whole Bible. ” To another
he said,i “Stand by the old Church." Then,
referring’ito his .own experience, he said, “It
is so delightful dying ; it is so pleasant, so
beautiful; the angels are here; God lifts me
up in His arms. I cannot see the river of
death; there is no river; it is all light; I
am floating away from earth into heaven ;, I
am gliding awa'y unto God." One of his
friends inquired of him, “Is it all right ?"
“Yes,” said he. And again, “I have not a
, cloud over my mind; I believe the Gospel
all through,” with a characteristic emphasis
on .the “all through.” It Was now four
.o’clock, and the sun of that winter day was
going down; .but to him there was no dark-
ness. The last of the throng of visitors at
this strange “reception" was Prof. Lindsay,
to whom, when taking his leave, the Bishop
said, good evening, doctor. When we next
'meet, it will be good morning.” After all his
visitors had retired, he said, “Now we are
alone, and must have a little time with our
own family. Here are my two sisters, my
two children. Where is my mother 1’” And
when she was brought in, they stood in a
circle around his bed, in order that he might
see them all. But'his sight was failing, and, .
looking around the circle, he said, “Are we
all alone ?" And on being satisfied upon this
point, he gave the last of himself away to
God, and to those on earth whom he loved
the best ‘; taking their hands one by one, and
saying, ,“This is my dear, dearest mother;
Mamie, my» little sunbeam—dear, pretty one;
.Willie, my noble son ;" and then recurred
the'name which he was ever whispering in
[the intervals of conversation: “Precious
Jesus; bjlessed Jesus.” There was another
name also—the name {of her who had been a
constant, presence in his soul, though for
:fOurteenyeart she had also been a presence
among the angels of God.
On the night of his election to the episco-
patc, being in the company of a few choice
friends, he said: “I would willingly start and
make a pilgrimage around the earth on foot to
spend one hour with my Mary" ; and when
he was about ,to ,die, as if overwhelmed by
the weary labors and journeyings through
which and over which he had dragged him—
self, in spite of sickness and sorrow and
pain, for =all these long, lonesome years, he
'said, “After I have seen the Lord, I shall
want to' rest for the first thousand years with
my head in the lap of my Mary.”

A Horse Bargain:
LORD “ovxnnnaon” AND run snaoxsmrn.
Hereis an amusing little drama in three
acts with an excellent moral, and it has the
advantage of being true. ‘ The dramatisper—
some are Lord Overreach and the Village
Blacksmith, who does a little horse-dealing.
The scene takes place before the doors of
Overreach’s house, to which the Village
Blacksmith brings a horse, asking his lord-
ship to buy it. The animal is a decent sort
of a beast, would have been useful, and all
. the owner wanted was £50. Lord Overreaoh,
however, rather fancies his shrewdness as
a buyer, and, in accordance with his usual
habit, he replied: .
“I’ll give you £25.”
“No, my lord, I couldn’t do that. I gave
£45 for the horse myself, and wouldn’t sell
I
'it but that I really want the money, and so I
named the lowest price that I could.”
“Give you £25,” was all his lordship’s rc-
plya; and declaring that it was 11 t possible
to take the offer, The blacksmith retired dc-
spondingly.
Act. II. is at the same place. A day or
two afterward the blacksmith arrives with
another horse, a showy-looking animal, and
as it trots up and down, Lord Overreach
seems to take a fancy to it.
“Well, what do you want for that i” he as-
ked. -
“Well, my lord, this isn’t like the one I
showed you the other day, as you can see. I
want a hundred guineas."
“Give you fifty,” was the reply.
“No, my lord, really that’s too bad. I want
money very much, or else I'd keep the horse
till some one took a liking for it, and would
give me a price. I wouldn't mind £75, but
I couldn’t go below that.”
“Give you fifty l" was still the only an-
sWer. .
The blacksmith sighed.
“I’m very anxious to sell, my lord, but I
can’t let a horse go for a sum like that.
There, will you give me ninety guineas ?”
"I’ll give you fifty,” Overreach replied,
feeling that he was well on the way to a good
bargain. ~
"Just look at him my lord, and you know
what a horse is worth as well as anybod ”—
Overreach smiled slightly—"now, I ask you,
is fifty guineas a fair price for a horse like
that T” .
“Take her away, then. It’s all I’ll give."
“Look here, my lord, eighty? No! Come,
I’ll split the difference and say seventy-five?”
Overreach still refused, till at length, very
reluctantly, the blacksmith came down to the
sum offered, declaring that he must have
money that day, and saw no other way of
getting it. Overreach wrote out a check for
£52 10s., and the horse changed quarters.
Act. III. has the scene opposite the black—
smith’s forge, and Overreach arrives on the
back of the new purchase. He appears an—
noyed.
“Look here, Smith," he says, “I can't say
that I’m pleased with the horse.
“Indeed, my lord!"
.“No. He goes very . queerly on his off
foreleg, and if he isn’t broken-winded it’s
something very like it.” .
“Yes, my lord, I’m not surprised," Vulca
calmly responded. '
“Not surprised! What do you mean!
You said—"
“Beg pardon, my lord, I said nothing ex-
cept that your lordship was a judge of a horse
and that this one wasn’t like the other. I
shouldn't think it could be. That was a
sound, steady little horse, I know, and he
cost me £45 as I told you. I thought there
riding. I gave eight pounds for him.
Before the Curtain Falls.
There was a noticeable and gratifying im-
provement in the conduct of the audience
which witnessed “Our Goblins” last week.
Those people who take refuge behind the de-
cent element in the audiences, and boot and
howl at random, were quiet and well-behaved.
The removal of the spread from the piano
was conducted without any open manifesta-
tion of disapproval from them. And even
the boy who lights the stage passed off and
on without being greeted by that eminently
original and always witty cry of “su'pe l"
We rejoice over this and are glad to think of
it.
But there is another matter which remains
incorrected and which is equally discredit—
able to our manners. This is the rush for
the aisles in the closing incidents of the play.
Whatever may e the character of this inci—
dent, whether tab eau, song or situation, it is
the best of the whole performance . There
are seven classes who unite in the rush that
follows the first intimation of the close of
the play. In one figures the man who, hav-
ing got into the performance by the skin of
his teeth, wishes to hide the fact, and as—
sumes in the rush that money is so plenty
with him he don’t care to wait through the
entire show just to get his full money’s
worth. This is, perhaps, a natural fiction,
and he ought not to be held strictly account.
able for what is a weakness. The second
man is somewhat similar. He don’t stay to
see the act out for fear people will think
shows are not common to him. He is able
to get to a performance about twice -a year
and is afraid people will know it. The third
man pushes out because he is ignorant and
boorish, and has no regard for the rights of
others. The fourth man joins in because he
sees the others do it.. Had he been born in
the torrid zone he would have been a monkey.
The fifth man starts up with a view to attrac—
ting the attention of the audience. Having
nothing else to commend him to public no-
tice he does this. The sixth man, having
borrowed the suit he has on ofa very nerv-
ous friend, heis anxious to get back to re—
turn it. He is the least to blame _ of the
lot.
There are occasions where people are oblig-
ed to leave an entertainment before it closes,
but they never wait for this rush. They go
quietly, and without annoying others. The
gentle sex never join this rush, only as they
are forced into it by their escorts.
Danbury is not a wealthy town, but if we
are poor we can be decent. And let us show
these strolling players that we know the dif~
ference between a stage performance and a

Carson City Appeal.
Yesterday afternoon, when the lawyers in
Justice Cary’s court were waiting for the
verdict in a petty larcency case. Attorney
Saderberg related an incident of his early
childhood in Minnesota, illustrative of the
peculiar customs in vogue in that state:
“I knew an old farmer there who owned
ten acres of timber land where millions of
pigeons came each year to roost. They de-
vasted the wheat fields, and the old coon used
to catch" the birds in nets and thrash them
out on the barn fioor. Each bird had three
ounces of wheat in his crop, and it was a
bad year for ‘old Thompson’ when he couldnt
ship a thousand bushels of wheat to market
at $2.60 per bushel, and it ranked A No. 1,
when it reached the Chicago elevator. If
there had been a few millions 'more of
pigeons he would have come pretty near
getting -a corner on the Minnesota wheat
crop."
“I know a planter down in Alabama,” said
Kittrell, who was fully as sharp as that. He
trained an alligator to work up and down the
river and catch the little picaninnies that
played along the bank. The alligator would
take the little kids in his jaws and swim back
to the plantation. It was a dull day that he
couldn’t corral three or four. The planter
raised ’em carefully, and when they got big
sold ’em in New Orleans at prices ranging
from. three to ten thousand apiece. He was
rolling in wealth when, Lincoln’s emancipa-
tion proclamation was issued, and after that
the alligator never did any more work. The
man is now. barely keeping body and soul‘
together in Washington, clerking in one of
the government'bureaus at eight thousand a
year. ”
Judge Cary evinced the greatest interest
in these weird tales, and edged up to the
group. '
“These are curious yarns, gentlemen, but I
believe them all. I had a dog once, back in
Nebraska, that I kept to herd lumber.” ’
"Beg pardon, Judge; did you say the dog
herded lumber i"
“Yes, sir, cottonwood boards. We always
kept adog there to bring the lumber in at
night."
Everybody now paid the closest attention,
as they knew the boss was at work.
“It was this way. Cottonwood boards
warp like thunder in the sun. A board would
begin to hump its back up about nine in the
morning, and in half an hour it would turn
over. By eleven it would warp the other
way with the ,heat, and make another fiop.
Each time it turned over it moved two feet,
always following the sun toward the west.
The first summer I lived in Brownville over
ten thousand feet of lumber skipped out to
the bills the day before I had advertised a
house I'lllfiln’.‘ I went to_ the country seat to
attend a lawsuit, and when I got back there
wasn‘t a stick of timber left. It had strayed
away into the ’inlands. An ordinary board
would climb a two mile hill during a hot week
and when it struck the timber it would keep
wormin’ in and but among the trees like a
garter snake. Every farmer in the state had
to keep shepherd dogs to follow his lumber
around the country, keep it together, and
show where it was in the morning. We
didn’t need any fiumcs there for lumber. We
sawed it .east ofthe place we wanted to use
it, and let it warp itself to its destination,
with men and dogs to head it off at the right
time, we never lost a stick. Well,here comes
the jury,” continued the Judge. “The wit-
nesses lied, so Iguess they will disagree.”
7 “A Brokerinltflismke.
The following story is told of Francis
Drexcl, the father of the well-known Phila-
delphia bankers. Soon after the close of
the war with Mexico, many Spanish and .
Mexican silver dollars found their way into
the United States, and were bought up by
bankers and money dealers all over the
country. The price paid for them valued
greatly, according to the demand and sup.
ply and the condition of, the pieces them-
selves. At the close of a rainy day, during
which Mr. Drexel—then doing a very mod.
est business on Third street, Philadelphia,
as a money and exchange broker—had been
a large buyer of Mexican silver, and while
he was engaged in recounting his purchases
preparatory to settling his cash account the
door of his banking-house was suddenly
opened by a plainly, dressed man, whdex-
claimed: “I only have one hundred left; do
you want them P” -
Mr. Drexcl, without raising his head rc-
plied. “I’ll give you fifty cents for them.”
“No,” said the man, “I’ve sold all the
others at seventy-five cents and only have a.
hundred left!”
Mr. Drcxel replied: “I have bought them
all day at sixty cents, and if you have no
holes in them I will take them at the same
price, and that'js the most you can get for
them'” '
“I never saw :any with holes in .them,”
said the man.
“Didn’t you ?” said Mr. Drcxel. "-Half of
what we get are full of holes, where they had
been used as buttods.”
The man scratched his head a moment, and
then said: “Very well, I’ll bring them in
away.” ‘
' Five minutes afterward he appeared with
asmall tin kettle, and. walking up to the
counter, said: “Where shall I put them i” -
“Pour them out here,” said Mr. Drexcl,
indicating a particular spot on the counter.
"Ican’t," said the seller, “they will all slip
ofl on the floor."
Mr. Drexcl, without withdrawing his
attention from the counting of his purchases
of the day, called to his son Frank to bring
a tray. When the tray was brought it was

Up the long, slippery slopes we toll and ltnln
Amid the ice and snow,
Untrodden heights above us to attain, '
Untrodden‘depths below;
Danger to the left and danger to the right,
All wearily we go.
Cruel and beautiful the blue crevasse
Yawns close beside the way,
The avalanches topple o’er the pass,
Their cold, white torrents stay
Only a moment ere they roar and plunge
To rend and whelm and slay. ’
Each following each, we mount, as we are
led,
Up the long, steep incline;
, head
0f the long faltering line,
And shows the narrow path where safety is
By word and look and sign.
Marking His footsteps, treading where he
trod .
- Close following on His track,
We cannot faint or fall or miss the road,
Tho'ugh deep the snows, and black
The precipices yawn, and rough and steep
The forward path and back.
Intent on Him, we do not mark or see
These hard things by the way.
It is enough that we are led, and He
Whose guidan'ee we obey
Has gone before and knows how hard it is;
What He has done we may.
Above, the mists we catch a faint, far chime
And glimpses heavenly fair
Shine through, and seem to beckon as we
climb— ‘
How distant, bright theyarel '

N (FISHING TO DO.
BY .11. our rmss.
Why, in this beautiful Vineyard of God-
The noblest of lands that foot ever trod,
With a domain so rich, and a climate so fair
Why, in this land of the Red, White and
Blue,
Are so many thousands with nothing to do 2
The masses run mad with desire for gain;
All would be rich without labor or pain.
Hard old-fashioned work they view with dis-
gust, . .
And would clutch, in a moment, the bright
yellow dust.
By tricking, by gambling, or some baser way
All madly aspire to be rich in a day.
But failures are many, and fortunes but few,
And so there are thousands with nothing
to do.
Monopoly, too, with its strong, iron hand,
Is crushidg the life from'our beautiful land.
It is fast gaining power ne’er dreamt of be-
fore, '
Transcending the proud feudal Barons of
yore;
from the toll of the poor working
in . ' ‘
The millions are taxed to enrich but a few,
And thousands are starving with nothing
to do.
The Trades union men, like poor, wretched
tools, ‘
Are aping the rich with their hard selfish
rules.
They deny the poor right to our young peo-
ple now - ‘
0f earning their bread by the sweat of
their brow.
Our country is filled with a sad helpless crew
0f young men and women with nothing to
do.
And this rising race, that should build up our
state,
Ah! what in the future will be their and
fate ?
How will they live, and how will they die ?
Let the Poor-house, the Prison and J lbbet
reply 1
Fathers and mothers,'_oh! think of the doom,
That awaits your own blood in» the future
to come. ,3
Ah! terrible. fact, that a nation must rue,
So many thousands, and nothing to do!

THE BLACKSMITH MAN.
My mother puts an apron on to keep my
coaties clean,
And rubbers on my .little boots, and then I
go and lean
Against the blacksmith’s doorway, to watch
the coal fire shine.
The bellows heave, the hammers swing-I
wish they were all mine!
The horses bend their legs and stand; Ldon’t
see how they can;
But I would love to shoe their feet just like
the blacksmith man.
' Tang-fiddle,~ tang-fiddle, tang-tiddle-tsn !
What a jolly noise he makes, the black.
smith man !
When I grow up an old big man, with whisk-
ers on my chin,
I will not have a grocery store, or dry goods
store or tin ;
I will not be a farmer, or a lawyer, not a bit ;
Or president—all the other boys are meaning
to be it— ' '
Or a banker, with the money bills piled high
upon the stan’—.-
I’d rather hold the red-hot iron and be a
blacksmith man.
Tang-fiddle, tang-tiddle. tang-tiddle-tanl
Oh, what a jolly noise he makes, the black-_
smith man! '
The blacksmith man has got such arms; his
shop is such a place ; ‘
He gets as dirty as he likes, and no one cleans
his face! .
And when the lightning in the sky he makes
his bellows blow,
And all his fires flare quickly up, like light-
ning below;
'Oh, he must have the nicest_time that any
person can; _
I wish I could grow up to-day and be a
blacksmith man! ’

I mean to have a little house, with vines and

And fixed up nice and clean for me'when I
get tired of soot,
I'd marry little Susy, and have her for my

We’ve been so well acquainted with each
other all our life!

The “lesion; druggist who killed two
children gby unintentionally giving them
morphind instead of quinine probably was an
who followed the
“rinklumtnnklums of the physician" who
wrote the prescription in the usual tongue,
unknownéto all but those in the secrets of
sickness and relief. Plain English in phar-

growing responsibility for sudden and gain-
