The Deacon’s Quarrel.
“Did you ever hear tell about Dea-
con Tanner’s quarrel with Deacon
Twist, Joshuay 1”
“No ; I dunno as ever I did.”
“Ye see Deacon Tanner was real pi-
ous, but by natur drefully arbitrary.
. He'had naturally an all-fired disposi-
tion ; high and mighty as though he
was a. British lord, and when he got
mad I tell you he was mad—no half
way eonvenant to him.
“He kuowed it and he fit with it
night and day,for he was honestly pious
and it done him good inwardly to hev
a. real set-to with the Old Adam now
and then.
“Natur is natur, and the devil in him
bein’ set to be made over into a saint,
felt a kind of materiltl comfort in
fightin’l the devil outside of him.
Leastways, that's the way he figured
if, and was forever 9. prayin’ an’ a tellin’
in meetin’ about the conflic’s an’ vic-
tories an’ suchlike.
"For my part, I don’t hold that
b’lief. I think a man’s got a. good and
a bad both inside of him, without
goin’ abroad to find fightin’. I
think we’ve‘ got plenty inardness to
wrestle with, and to use up all the
grace we’ve got a subduin’ of it ; but
that ain’t here nor there. The deacon
was an honest man, and he thought
different ; but whatsoever he thought,
he done about the right thing gener’ly.-
“Well, Deacon Twist, he was another
sort; took fire quicko’n a spruce bough
and didn’t last no longer; blazed away
just like birch fashion, all of a minit,
and in half an hour he’d be just like a
cosset lamb, and orful sorry he’ d give
way.
“But he kep givin’ way an’ repentin’
some like Peter in the Bible. But he
was a real good man—they was as good
as gold, both of ’em. .
“Now Deacon Tanner, he’d set up a
saw-mill down in Nepash brook, and
he done sawin’ for everybody round.
’Twas a new country then. and he had
lots 0’ business so he kinder made a
rewl that fast come was fast served,
and kept the names of them that was
promised in the list, right along as
they came, chalked up on a board in
the mill. ’
“I had ought to hev said that he and
Deacon Twist was real friendly—both
being deacons of Chester meetin’s, al-
.. ways a going to funerals and prayer
meetin’s and school-us meetin’ to-
gether, till folks giv a skit at ’em now
andthen, and called ’em David and
J Onathan.
“Well. it came about one time that
Deacon Twist wanted some logs sawed
to cover hisnew barn. His turn to hev
’em sawed come a. Thursday mornin’
and Deacon Tanner he was on hand
real early so’s to get all set to rights
afore work begun.
“Jest as he’d get the saw iled and
things cleared up, who should come
a-tuggin’ and toilin’ up the hill with a
load 0’ logs, but Red Garrett, from
Goshen.
“ ‘Deacon,’ sez he, ‘I’m in a real fix.
There was a dredful blow over t’ our
town 138’ evenin’; some folks called it
a hurricane—but any way, it hurried
ofi‘ the roof 0’ my house, and flung it
against that mighty big rock in the lot
behind, and smashed it into kindliu’
wood.’
“ ‘I hadn’t a board on the farm,’ he
sez, ‘nor Icouldn’t get one, and Sary’s
down with lung complaint, and baby’s
got a spell of throat ail. I dono how
to Wait till I git that roof kivered agin.
A rain settin’ in would jest kill ’em ;
and I put to store daylight, and I’ve
drawed these logs oyer a-hopin’ to get
’em sawed afore anybody comes.’
“ ‘Well, Rodney,’ sez the "deacon,
kinder slow, as though he was consid-
erin’, ‘I’ve promised Nathaniel Twist
for to saw his logs this mornin’, and I
like to keep to my word.’
“ ‘I don’t believe but what he’d wait
for me of he knowed’, said Rod. ‘It’s
a kind of extremity I'm in, as ye might
say, I’m extrem e anxious to get them
boards right off. I feel to b’lieve that
Deacon Twist would let me do it of he
was here. He’s a. pious man and a
merciful man. I guess I’d risk it of I
was you. Deacon Tanner.’
" ‘Well, Rodney,’ sezthe deacon, ‘it
does seem to be a work of necessity. I
guess I’ll try it; you dump them logs
an’ we’ll set her a-go in.’
“So he'n his hired man then got a.
log onto the slide, and Rod Garrett
and his brother, who come with him,
they unyoked the cattle au’ put ’em
under a tree to cool off. Then they
stood around to s the machine, and
10 you ! they ha. It hauled ofl' more’n
half a dozen boards when they heered
Deacon Twist a-hawin and a-gein’ to
his big pair 0’ Devon cattle on the turn
0’ the 11111.
“I dono as Deacon Tanner heered
him, an’ I dono but he did; any way,
he didn’t stop; he kept the old'saw a.-
goin’, an’ when Deacon Twist drove up
his load 0’ logs there was the slide full,
an’ a heap more to put on to’t.
“He was mad. He. roared out
quicker’n you could say J ack Robin-
son. .
“ ‘Whose be them logs ? Hal’m off,
I tell ye ! It’s my turn to hev the saw
an’ I ai’nt a-goin’.to be turned off like
this, Hiram Tanner !’
“Jest then the saw stopped a minit‘
and Deacon Tanner heered him.
“ ‘This here is my mill an‘ my saw,
Mr. Twist-1’ sez he, his eye kinder
shinin’ an’ his face gettin’ pale, though
Twist’s was redder’n a winter apple.
“ ‘I don‘t care a continental if ’tis,’
sez Twist. "You said you was a-goin’
to saw for me this mornin’ an’ there’s
my-name onto the list right afore ye,
an’ ye ha’n’t no right to lie an’ brass it
out, if you be a. deacon 1’
“By this time the fellers that come
up along with Deacon Twist for to"
help him load up was gawpin’ around,
a-lookin’ and a-hearin’.
'Jinglesex left. the side-board, and started
“And as ’twas berry timoa lot of tho
Elwell tribe was near by in the bushes,
and hearin’ a noise they came too——
crows to a carkiss, they always was.
‘Sons of Belial’ Deacon Tanner used to
call ’em. But they won’t, they was
Old Jake Elwell’s sons, godless fellers
enough, half Injin, and they was a-
grinnin’ an’ a-chucklin to see the row.
“Well, Deacon Tanner growed
whiter’n whiter. ‘
“ ‘I calc’late to do what I will with
my own, Mr. Twist,’ sez he, ’an I dono
as anybody made you a. judge and di-
viner over. me. If you’d hear to rea-
son, without flyin’ off the handle—.’
“ ‘The’ ain’t no reason to hear to,’
roared Twist. “It’s plainer’n the nose
on your face; you promised to saw my
logs this mornin t,delike an’ now your
mill’s full of another feller’s an’ if that
ain’t cheatin’ and lyin’ I dono what
tis ! I won’t never bringno more logs

“ ‘Nor I won’t never saw em if yo
do!‘ snapped Tanner,his eyes asblazen. ’
“ ‘He ! he the ! squealed one O’ the
Elwell fellers, ‘pootv good spunky
deacons now, them be ;’ '
“Deacon Twist heered him, and his
jaw kinder dropped. He gin a look at
Tanner and stepped right up to him
and sez :
“ “Brother Tanner, I’ve did wrong ;
I’ve giv occasion for the enemy to re-
vile. an’ them Sons 0’ Belial is makin’
us their music. We’ve shamed the
Lord, Forgive me Brother Tanner l’
“Tanner he stood a. minit jest as
though somebody’d up and stuck him.
Then he reached out his hand, and sez
he : '
“ ‘Brother Twist, we have both
sinned. Let us ask forgiveness from
on high.’ '
"'And so sayin’ he'led Deacon Twist
a little piece 011' inter the shoemaker
bushes, and Rod Garrett said he never
in this mortal world heered such dref—
ful affectin’ prayers as they made, both
of em’. They didn’t seem to think, he
said, as though the’ was anybody
around a-hearin’ of ’em, only jest the
Lord; but all the men heered ’em.
“The Elwells, they stole away kin-
der dumfounded, but the rest stayed
by. When the deacons come out after
a spell, a-holdin’ hands just like two
youngsters, they see they had been a.
cryin’;. and when they shook hands
right there, and said as they’d quar-
reled before folks, they’d make up be-
fore ’em, and I tell ye it done them
tellers good.
“Bod Garrett said he b’lioved the’
was suthin’ in religion when he sees
Deacon Twist aloadin’ of his boots for
him an’ fairly forcin’ Tanner to saw the
rest of Garret’s logs afore he touched
his’n. And Hiram Platt, he was kin-
der on the fence afore, but he came
square out and jined Chester meetin’
next sacrament day, and was a real
close walker afterwards.
“As for the deacons, it seemed as
though they couldn’t be good enough
to each other after all this. And it
came about that the’ was quite a
’wakenin, in Chester that winter ;
seemed as tho’ it took a start to th’ old
saw-mill. I tell you what, J oshuay,

HE IS ASSIGNED TO WRITE UP A SMALL WED-
DING.
Last night quite a large number of .
guests were present at the residence of
Colonel J inglesex to witness the marriage
of his lovely daughter with our esteemed
young fellow citizen, Major .Raoul Bap-
tiste MeGilligau. Colonel Jinglcsex was
lb! general manager of the entire guest
system, and had his headquarters estab-
lished in the dining room, and only left
his post and the side-board, where the
gentlemen were often side-tracked for re-
pairs, to go through the parlors on a tour
of inspection. Mrs. Colonel J inglesex
acted as superintendent and yard master,
and most of the time was employed in the
kitchen, where she had the supper courses
made up and saw that they left on sched-
ule time. The 'whole thing was a real
ten-foot driver, Miller platform affair, and
will long be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to receive invita-
tions. A few.moments before the arrival
of- the preacher who was to pull the bell-
cord for the matrimonial train, old Colonel
up grade with a heavy load. The conse-
quence was he slipped an eccentric, and
came into the parlor running on one side,
but was flagged down in time to prevent
him jamming his headlight through a bay
window. The old gentleman in stopping
to fill his tank so often, lost the right of
way, and did not witness the ceremony.
The bride was a slender beauty, and
her eyes were of a peculiar pea-blossom
blue color, and when her lips parted in a
smile they looked like some one had
opened a red pocket-book. She was
dressed in a flowing robe of yellow-tinted
bobbinet muslin, a la ecru, looped up at
the sides with a Hungarian pompsdour of
blue grenadine and fichus of Queen Ann
group. The dress was cut on an incline
of forty-eight degrees across the shoulders
and curved around under the left arm.
The bosom of the fair bride was covered
with a tressle work 0; Louis XIV lace,
and her waist was “surfaced up” and
“filled in” with artificial flowers, made
attractive by several narrow gauge short
lines of red trimmings, which skirted
around and centered at a common termi-
nal point on the crest of her polonaise.
Down the front of the robe was a midloud
route of antique buff serge intersected by
numerous feeders of costly fez merino.
The wedding was bou ton ; everything
moved on schedule time, and along the
wholelline not a “low joint”_gr “high cen-
ter” jolted the gentle glide of happiness.

“Say, what kind of a hotel do you
keep 7” said a green looking man as he
stepped up to the counter and registered
his name, and added “and wife" after it.
“Can a new married couple settle down
here for two or three days and have a
quiet visit with each other, and not be
scared out of their buots f”
The hotel man said they could go right
to their room and stay them three days or
three weeks, and never come to their
mealsif they didn’t want anything to eat.
“But what is the matter? Have you been
annoyed ?” asked the hotel man.
. "Annoyed! That don'texpress it. We
were married day before yesterday, at. St.
Paul, and wcntuo a hotel. I live about
sixty miles west of St. Paul, and the
traveling men put up a job to make me
tired. There were about a hundred of
them snowed in at St. Paul, and I’ll be
darned‘if they didn’t keep us awake all.
night. They knew we were a bridal
couple, and bribed the bell boy and por-
ters to let them not for them, and when
we rung the bell for the bell boy, a
drummer for a Chicago cigar. factory
came in and wanted to know what we
wanted. I ordered a pitcher of ice water,
and a Milwaukee drummer for a grocery
house brought it in, and he looked at my
wife, who is bashful,~ and made her feel
real bad. I didn’t know they were
drummers until the next day, or I should
have killed_some of them. I rung the bell
for coal, and a traveling man who posts
railroads cards around, and works up ex-
cursions, he came in and fixed the fire,
and he stayed and poked it for half an
hour, and he had more gall than I ever
see. He asked so many questions about
’how long we had been married, that I
wanted to thump him, but my wife said
we were married. I rung for a chamber-
maid to clean up the roomjaud bring some
towels, and it was about half an hour
before she came. I went down to the of-
flce to see about my trunk, and'tbe cham-
bsrmaid stayed about half an hour, and
was very interesting,and my wife said.'she
wasa real pleasant, affectionate sort of a
creature, far above her station, and I tell
you I was mad when I found out that it
was a smoothed faced, handsome young
drummer for a Milwaukee clothing house,
who was with the gang, and he gave the
chambermaid three dollars to loan him an
old dress so he could play chambermaid.
When my wife lohl me that the cham-
bermuid patted her on the cheek, and
said she was the sweetest bride that was
ever in the hotel, and asked forakiss,
and my wife said she thought it would be
no harm to kiss a poor chambermaid and
encourage her, I wantedlo kill ;him, and
I went down to the office the next
morning, but the smooth-faced cuss had
gone to Fargo. It was all the landlord
could do to hold me. Well, while we
were at supper somebody got into the
room and put. cracker crumbs in our bed,
and we found a cold' oil-cloth floor mat
over the top sheet, enough to freeze any-
body. But the worst was at night. We
had just got comfortably in bed when
there was a knock at the door, and I got
up, and the watchman was there, and he
said he wanted to point out to me the fire
escape, so I could get out in case of fire,
and I went out in the ball and he took me
way out to the end of the building to
show it to me, and while I was looking
odt of the window my wife came running
down the hall and begging me to save
her. Iasked her what was the matter,
and she said as soon as I went out a man
that locked like a porter, came in the
room and told her to fly and save herself
and to follow her husband. She felt aw-
ful when she found there was no trouble,
and we got back into our room half froze.
I have got them fellows down fine. The
fellow who called me out to look at the
fire escapes is a drummer for aPhiladel-
phia milliaery house, and the one that
scared my wife out of her wits, travels
for a hearse factory at Rochester,.N. Y.
My wifesays she would know him, be-
cause he has a big gray moustache, and
wears a diamond collar button in his shirt.
She said she thought he was pretty stylish
for a porter at the time. They woke us
up several times in the night to tell us
what to do in case we were sick, and in
the morning, before we were up, a waiter
brought up our breakfast. He said the
landlord sent it up, and he just stood
around until we had to at up in bed and
eat breakfast. I thought at the time it
"was kind in the landlord to send up our
breakfast, but when I found that the
waiter who brought it up was a traveling
man for a reaper factory at Rockford,
and remembered how darned impudent
he looked at my wife, I could have mur-
dered him, but the clerk said he had gone
to Winnipeg. It was just about as bad
coming down here on the sleeping ear,
and I think half the passengers on the car
were those same ’drummers that were
snowed in. It was colder than Alaska,
and I would order extra blankets, and
they would sleal them. I had more than
twenty blankets put on the bed, and in
the morning there was nothing but a sheet
over us. And every time there was a
blanket spread over us there was a diller-
ent porter put it ou,and Ithink they were
all traveling men. Every little while
somebody would pull-open the/curtains
and sit down on my berth and begin to
pull off his boots, and I would tell him
the berth was occupied, and that he must
have made a mlslake, and he would look
around at us as innocent as could be, and
ask our pardon, and then go out and damn
the porter. Once [ felt somebody feeling
about my berth and I asked what was the
matter, and the fellow said he was looking
for my wife’s shoes to black. . Then about
every fifteen minutes the conductor would
open the curtains and hold a red lantern
in and ask for our tickets sixty-five
times. Any way it Iooked like a porous
plaster when I got up in the morning. I
think it was the traveling men who were
playing conductor, but I was sleepy and I
thought the best way was to let them
punch it. , Well, about three o‘clock in
the morning somebody punched us and
said it was time to get up, as all the pos-
sengers were up, and we would have
breakfast initlfteen minutes. Apd then
we busllcd around and got dressed the
best we could. laying on our backs and
kicking our clothes up in the air and
catching them on ourselves when they
came down. I‘got my pants on wrong
side before, and lost everything out of my
pockets, and my wife lost her hair, and
had to tie a handkerchief around her head
and then we had our berths made up and
sat up till daylight, and then the porter
found my wife’s hair and pinned it to the
curtains of a berth occupied by a preach-
er from Oshkosh, and he kicked and got.
mad and wondered how it came there,
and I Lhink he travels for an Oshkosh
carriage factory. 0, I never had such a
nighl,or two such nights,in all my life,and
what I want to know is, if I can” be quiet
here and get a little sleep and not be an-
noyed." The hotel man toll him if any-
body calnc around to bother hi'm,l.o knock
them clean down stairs, and he would
be responsible, and the bridegroom tOok
his wife and the colored man showed them
aroom, and they have not showed up
since. It is confounded mean in travel-
ing men to get snowed in and form a.
syndicate to have fun. They will cause
themselves to be disliked if they keep on.

BREEDING AND BEARING CATTLE.
There are many millions of cattle in the
United States the descendants of every
known breed of cattle in Europe crossed
and mixed until there is no mark of any
particular breed. There are a few par-
ticular breeds in England, stock from
which have been imported, ignoring the
fact that these cattle have been bred to
certain sections of country for their adap-
tation to their climate and fed with an
eye to profit. These different. breeds are
all local. The Durham is not so Well
adapted to Devdnshirc, nor the Devon to
Durham. Every noted breed has its own
particular locality and whatever excellence
they may possess at home there is no eer-
tainty that. the stock wxll continue unim-
paired when taken to a different clime.
It seems strange in these days of enter-
prise thal no intelligent breeder with a
fixed purpose has set himself to furnish a
stock for his locality of superior excel-
lence. No one breed of cattle could
be produced that would be adapted to
every part 'of our vast. country. What
might be well adapted to Connecticut
might not do for Texas, and the wild
breed of the latter State will never do for
New England. Something better is possi-
ble for us than the mixed breeds we have.
Improvements in isolated instances there
have beambut as a whole we are five hun-
dred if not a thousand years behind Eng-
land. With the country we have and the
intelligence of the people very shame
should prevent sending three thousand,
milcs away for what we might prOduce at
home and of better quality.
Select stock from your own locality as
a foundation for a herd and then by selec-
tions reduce fne breed to a fixity. There
are some specimens amongst our common
cattle equal to anything ever imported,
from such, what might result by judicious
management? With regard to rearing
cattle, farmers have run to the opposite
extreme from the management two or
three-score years ago when cattle were
at the stock yard away from the burn or
shelter, on some bleak hill exposed to the
rough storms of our climate; this was
cruel but with enough feed they were never
known to perish. ‘How different the
management now, some tight. stable, per-
haps a basement without a free circulation
of air, they become subject to disease and
unnaturally lender. Cattle should have
the open air, with shelter for the storms,
that their backs may be kept dry and the
severest storms will not affect them.
Common sense is better than a veterinary
surgeon, though not so plenty. Presi-
dent VanHoosear: “I would like to ask
if tbe'Devon and Durhams that have been
raised here have retrogaded ?" Bedient :
“It may be that where the blood has been
kept pure in some localities they may not
be much worse than years ago, but we
find at first cross they may be good, but at
the second and thereafter they grow worse
very fast. When we breed from grades
the valuable qualities soon go to smash."
President Van: “I can hardly understand
,Mr. Bedient when he says—I would select
and keep up this until he fixes the breed.
I can’t see how he can accomplish this
when he says you must not breed from
grades, and he also says our cattle here are
a mixture of all breeds, and he Wouldn’t
breed from thoroughbrcds. ” . ‘
The evening was very stormy and few
were present. A paper wa's handed in to
be read, by an unknown author, on “How
to make Home-Made Super Phosphate.”
It claimed that 200 pounds of waler,'100
pounds of sulphuric acid and 200 pounds
of bones with 4 times its bulk of dry bog
'earth or dry road dust, well mixed, and a
ton Of this mixture equals 32 tons of barn-
yard manure, giving tbe number of pounds
to be applied per acre. At the next meet-
ing the Secretary D. H. VanHoosear, will
address the meeting on “High Breeding
of Cattle." All are invited to attend.

A SIXTY BARREL VVIIALE SPOUTING AT
NEW LONDON. '
The New Lohdon Day says :—About
three o’clock Saturday afterndon as Capt.
D. G. Tinker, an old whaling master, and
one of the crew of the lightship, were
coming from Bartlett's reef with the
keeper’s monthly report, in the large
schooner rigged boat attached to the ship,
Capt. Dan discovered something in the
water on his lee bow, which looked
strangely unfamiliar in these waters, and
yet particularly familiar to Capt. Tinker’s
recollection of the days gone by. He
called to the man with him and pointed
to the object in the water. Just at the
moment a monster lifted itself out of the
deep, and the forked spout of a right.
whale was cost high into the air leaving
no further doubt "of the individuality
of the strange visitor, Captain Tinker
estimated that the whole was at least of
sixty barrels capacity, and not less than
two thousand dollars worth of oil and
bone inside hislcarcass. The sea monster
was first discovered about a mile and a
half 'uortheast from the Bartlett’s reef
light vessel, and in the deep water be-
tween Gosben and Bartlett’s reef. Capt.
Tinker steered towards the whale, tacked
and retackcd after him, not within fifteen
feet of him once and within twelve feet of
him again. He kept the animal in view
for more than an hour. and saw him sink,
rise and spout five successive times. If
there had been a bemb lance on. board
there were three certainties of killing the
whole. It. was too late .wheu Capt. Tinker
arrived in the city to return with a boat
and weapons, and probably the whale is
by this time navigating the temperate
waters of the Gulf stream. The right
whale is very seldom seen in the North
Atlantic,and it is more than a hundred
years since there is any record of such a
fish. in Long Island Sound. ' '

It is your home; you cannot improve it
much by taking your money away to in-

place so much as by encouraging good
merchants, good schools and good people
to settle among you, and this cannot be
done unless you spend your money at"
home, for there is where you get it.
Spend your money at home, because when
it is necessary to get credit it is of your
own town merchants you have to get it,
and they must. wait at home. It will make
better business for your merchants. They
can and will keep better assortments, and
sell at lower rates than if the only busi-
ness they could do was to credit, while
the money goes to other places. Spend
your money at home. Set the example
now. Buy your dry goods, groceries and
meat in town, and you will see a wonder-
ful change in a short time in the business
outlook of the place: therefore deal with
your merchants at home. Your merchants
are your neighbors and your friend ; they
stand by you in sickness—are your asso-
ciates. Without your trade they cannot
keep up business. No stores, then no one
waiting to buy property to settle on and
build up the place.

Extract No. 2.
.—
‘BY J. KATE LUDLUM.
I We call our world a grand world, our
men great men. Oh, we are quite won-
derful beings. according to .our own
account, I assure you. But do we never
forget that in reality, this world we call
great is but a planet, small in comparison
with'others? .Our men—what are they
if compared with men of other planets?
We talk of the stars, call them “specks of
light,” "flowers of heaven." and so on;
but perhaps we forget that the earth is
even a smaller “speck,” a more tiny
“flower" than some of those scattered
through the great vault of heaven.
We smile serenely on the stars sailing
past us, like ships on a blue sea, for-
getting that we are on a ship too, sailing
With the others, watcbilig lbem glide by, .
yet so far away that we cannot "speak"
them. Ab, we forget our good ship
Earth, is flying through the sea of heaven
with a velocity quite inconceivable; that.
we are hanging in mid-heaven, held alouc
by( an invisible pOwcr {if gravitation
which it is impossible to evade. Just an
atom in a universe of worlds all equally
well fitted, no doubt, to be the home of
humanity! '
“everlasting hills," our “unfalllomable
oceans,” our wonderful lights and shades.
But look at the mountains of the moon—
those “luny mountains,"—somc of which
we have‘uo “Sea of Tranquility," uor
“Sea of Ser‘enlty,”"—w'ould that we bad!
And as for lights and shade—how must
the inhabitants of some other planet talk—-
Jupiter, for instance, 'wilh its magnificent
evening sky adorned with the stars that
sparkle in our heavens, besides four moons
of different size and colors, blue, yellow,
and red moons-think of it, all you who
pride yourselves On this wonderful
earth! . ‘
But if Jupiter is beautiful what must
Saturn be—tbat god of time who .whirls
through space so far, from. us, that it takes
a man’s life-time for it'to’swecp around
it's orbit. Think of living in a world
surrounded by rings, some of shining
golden light, others transparent. What
must its evening sky be wilhi‘ts grand
arch of rings shedding 'a soft radiance
around, and light moons, full, new, cres-
cent and gibbous, flooding the planet with
a wealth of zgoldeli light utterly beyond
our power of conception. Our world is
beautiful, our world is wonderful; but
what must it be to the Author of all who
counts as a mere speck what would be to
us an utterly incomprehensible distance ?
Look at the sun—that grand world of
fire and cloud and wonders, which would
take only 1,245,000 carlhs to make. Go
up on Mount Blane if you wish to find
out what a “glaring sunlight” is. .
What mere atoms we must appear
to the Maker and Ruler of those worlds l
And yet He has told us Himself that
“even the heirs of our heads are all num-
bered !" . What infinilemullmitcd, power
—4to form the glorious worlds on worlds
and call then all by name, and be able to
tell the number of the sands of the ocean!
It is too Omnipotent; we cannot- com-
prehend it. And still we call ourselves
great. . ‘
Well, in some respects 'tvc are great,
too,,for man, alone, out of all the wonders
of creation is possessed of a soul—that
intangible, mysterious something that
never dies, but lives on forever, as a
token of Divine Love, even affcrlllcse
wonderful worlds are forgotten. .
And when the sounds of toll are hushed
in night and the weary routine is over,
the God-given soul cries out for some
visible token of the unseen, and finds it
written in letters of fire on the blue dome
above :—
“The heavens declare the glory of God.
and the firmamcnt showcth His handy-
work._”
HOW Sain Trained His
Wife.
In a Boston restaurant, at dinner recent-
ly sat a man from Cambridge, who was a
native of New Hampshire. Meeting an
acquaintance from that indefinite section
known as “down east,” 'lbe conversation
soon turned on family topics, and the pair
began to talk about their former neighbors
in a most familiar way. “Yes," remarked
the Cambridge gentleman, “Sam was in
many respects different from the rest of
the boys. You remember who he mar-
ried ?;Well when the old man, his father,
found that he was shiniu’ round with her,
he called him one day in the barn and
said: ‘Sam d’ye intend to marry Beckie?’
Sam never sold a word, so the old man
said: ‘Me boy, ye know all about them,
‘I can‘t tell you uothin‘. Ye know how
the sisters has turned out, and not one of
them is now liviu’ with their husbands.’
Sam was as mum as‘a pantomime, and
just. as soon as be was ready, him and
Beckie got tied. They lived on a firm
and everything went on smooth for about
a year and ileum: to bog butcheriu’ lime.
Sam got allready to have the usual party
for the occasion and just as he was sharp-
cuin’ up the knives, Beckie came out and
said: ‘Sam I'm goin' home.’ Sam pre-
tested in his usual quiet way, bath. was
of no use, so he said he’d get a man to
row her across the pond. It was about
half a mile over. She said: ‘No ye won’t,
ye‘ll row me across yerselfl' Sam told
her he couldn’t, and Beckie fired up and
said: ‘Then I’ll drown meself.’ Sam said
he’d go with her if she wanted to do that,
so the boat was got ready, she-got in and
they rowed out till the water was twenty
feet deep. Then Sam stopped and said :I
‘Wcll Beckie this is a good place for ye to
drown yerself 1’ She didn't open her
mouth. He waited awhile and then said:
‘Come Beckie, I’m in a hurry to get back.’
She never looked up. Sam put down the
oars, caught hold of her and pitched her
in. She grabbed for the boat, but he
wouldn’t let her get neurit. 'When she
was almost done out she said: ‘Sam let
me in that boat and yc’ll not bear any-
thing more from me out o’ the way.’ So
be pulled her in and they went back
home. She changed her clothes and cater-
tained the guests. They’re now nearly
80, and you never saw a happier old
couple—did you? I don’t think they
ever spoke of that duekln’ since the day
she was going to drown herself."
Trout Stones.
Yesterday, a catch of 203 trout was ex-
hibited. by Manager Lounsbury of the
Western Union telegraph company, Ly.
man R. Ingraham and E. S. Way. They
caught the fish “in the Berkshire hills,"
which is about as definite information as
trout fishermen usually afford.
Shortly after the law was “of!" another
party exhibited 40 fine fish as the result of
a day’s catch, and were emgratulatcd by
their friends on their remarkable luck.
Sherman & Cooke charged them only a
dollar for the loan of the fish to show
around town, and that evening they Were
back in the ice-chest.—Courant, 18th.

nls nxrnfunxcn wrrn JAY GOULD AND
‘ WESTERN UNION.
.1 am tempted to give a little side inci-
dent of my last interview with Jay Gould
and wrestle with Western Union in Wall
street. I had seen the stock go down
about eighteen points, and so bought 100.
It fell five lower, and I took 100 more.
Five points lower. I took another, and
so on until I was getting alarmed. I
thought Jay Gould under some obligations
to me. or at least a true friend, and so
stepped across from my hotel to see him.
He was kind,quict, and purry as a kitten,
almost playful, and soon began to point on
his maps the line of his new Atlantic
' cable. He himself opened the subject of
telegrapbs. The occasion was opportune.
I handed him a certificate of purchase of
Western Union and asked him what to do,
as I was already on the edge of my mar-
gin. He looked at me with a sweet and
innocent surprise, as if saying : “Only to
think that any man would touch that
worthless Western Union I"
“I'm so sorrow you have bought this
stuff. My telegraph is the other line,” he
signed at length.
“free; I know. But '1 bought, a be-
calj e I gaugptiu cheap, Mr. Gould?"
R tis cheaper now, Mr. Miller."
“And will it be cheaper, Mr. Gould.”
"Well, wc"—looking- at his son—“have
not ashore of it. It ought to be a great
deal cheaper.” ,
"Then I shall sell twice the amount I
hold and hedge. Thank'you, and good
night."
“'And the next morning I did sell-well
right and left—for the whole bottom
’seeaied to" be falling out of the Western
Union. . It. kept on tumbling, and by noon
I was even. , By 1 o’clock I was not only
even but almost rich. I was arichcr man
than I had ever been before.
‘ I remained a rich man about thirty-five
minutes. The tide began to set against
me. Western Union bounded up with a
rapidity that fairly made me dizzy, and by
the time the hammer fell in the stock
board I literally had not our fare left.
.Having' plenty of leisure after that I
wrote down the foregoing conversation and
cbpied it here exactly. I have mt seen
Mr. Gould since, But I find that at the
time be said he had nota share of Wes-
lein Union he had about 20,000 shares,aud
was picking it up as fast as he could
knock it down—Joaquin Miller.

Advertisingin Local Pa—
pers.
Persons who think that a small adver-
tisement in a country newspaper is of no
value, may do well to take note of the
fact that a little one-half inch advertise-
ment of property for sale, published in the
Transcript two weeks since, received an
answer, among others, from St.Louis,llIo-
We do not menliou this with any special
reference to ourselves, nor grasp the op-
portunity to inform our readers that We
are the “great and only” of this section of
the world, but note it as showing that
newpaper advertising in any locality pays,
and that in all probability no expenditure
of money finds quicker returns than that
paid for the litllc “For Sale,” “To Rent”
notices, and the like. They are univer-
sally ‘read by subscribers, as well as by
local transient readers who are very often
.in search of the very thing advertised, and
in times like these when capital is plenty,
and people are looking for places for prof-
itable investments, information of such
opportunity is conveyed by letter or other-
wise to outside parties by readers, and the
news thus spreads widely. “Wants" also,
are most always answered, and, indeed,
we have almost indubitablc proof weekly
that anything, good or bad, reaches the
whole public very quickly if only printed
in the local papers. Persons may rest
assured that if they have anything to dis-
pose of,aud there is any demand for the
article, they will more readily accomplish
what they wish through the columns of
their paper than in any other way.-—-Der-

Christ was not in,
It is an old story here, but may sound
newly to some of our readers, that once
not many years ago a sailor man—an Eag-
lish sailor man—Came to Christ Church to
go through those devotions which the
Church of England enjoins asaduty upon
all of her children. He walked in 'and
sailed up the isle. At the chancel he!
turned and moved back to the from; door.
Not a pew door had been opened, not, a
friendly and welcoming face had been
turned towards him. As he was going
down the steps he met. the sexton return-
ing, it is supposed, from the nearest beer
house.
“What d'yc call this house of public
worship?" asked the Englishman with
some interest. _
"Christ Church, sir,” replied the sexton.
“Well, I guess Christ is not in this morn-
ing,”snccred the sailor man, and away
he went, his shoe heels rattling an accom-
paniment to his indignation—Mobile Let-
ter in the Nashville American. .
”———-——
We have been accustomed to regard the
fourth of J ply, 1776, as the day when our
national life began. Yet it must be re-
membered that actual independence was
not achieved until the 19th of April, 1783,
the day when the formal declaration of
peace and acknowledgment of independ-
ence was made by the mother country.
To-day, then. is the centennial anniver-
sary of the day from which our actual
existence as a nation must be reckoned.
By a remarkable coincidence it is the
anniversary also of the day when the
“embattled farmers” stood by the bridge
at Concord, and “fired the shot heard
'rouad the world.” A volume might be
filled with'thc record of human advance
made since that memorable day, one hun-
dred years ago. In education the slridcs
have been wonderful. In medicine and
surgery the discovery of vaccination and
anaesthetics, added to the remarkable
advance'in the theory and practice, have
wonderfully blessed mankind. In inven-
tions, the list is inexhaustible :aud mar-
velous. The discovery and application of
the power of steam and of electricity, the
perfection of our postal system, and the
extent and variety of our manufactures,
all combine to form a history more re-
markable than that of any similar period
of time since the world began—N. I-I.

HairReslorer
_ IS PERFECTION!
Public Benefnoh'ess. Mrs. S-
A. ALLEN hasjustly earned this title,
and thousands are this day rejoicing
over a fine head of hair produced by
her unequaled preparation for restor-
ing, invigorating, and beautifying the
Hair. Her World's Hair Restorer
quickly cleanses the scalp, removing
Dandruff, and arrests the fall; the
hair, if gray, is changed to its natural
color, giving it the same vitality and
luxurious quantity as in youth.
COMMENTARY. “My
hair is now restored to‘ its
youthful color; I have not
a gray hair left. I am sat-
isfied that the preparation
is not a dye, but acts on
the secretions. My hair
ceases to fall, which is cer-
tainly‘an advantage to me,
Who was in danger of be-
coming bald.” This is
the testimony of all who
use Mrs. S. A. ALLEN’S
WORLD’S HAIR RESTORER.
. “Ono Bottle did it." That is the .
expression of many who have had '
their gray hair restored to its natural
color, and their bald spot covered
with hair, after using one bottle of
MRS. S.-A. ALLEN's WORLD'S Han:

My cherished buds for thee ?

Refuse to set them free?
How can I trust thee, April sun,
Remembering days of old;
When blossoms by the promise won
Were blighted by the cold!

Those tender, tiny flowers
In all their fair young beauty wet
And, chilled with icy showers?

Within Sound of the Sea.
BY JENNIE K. LUDLUM.
I knelt by the open casement,
And looked out over the sea
Which the gathering darkness covered—
Tho’ its moaning came up to me.
And the cry of the angry waters,
Was heard thro’ the raging storm;
And the drifting sheet of the blinding slcc
Swept past like a phantom form.
I thought of the ships on the waters
Whose billows were mountain hi0 ;
Of the drowning sailors’ faces
Under the midnight sky.
And thro’ the roar of the thunder,
. And the moan of the hungry sea,
And thro’ the storm, like a phantom form,
A vision came up to me ;
or a night in the heart of winter,
Two wearisome years ago,
When a ship on the raging waters,
Was driven hither and fro ;
The masts were broken and shattered,
.And the waves of the hungry sea
Swept over the deck of the shattered wreck—-
While its meaning came back to me
. And I by this same worn casement,
rd
I
had a straight handle 2’”
With straining eyes, and bright, _
Looked out o’er the angry waters,
Thro’ the dusk of tho winter night ;
But 0 sign of my husband’s vessel,
No mark on the raging sea
Was there to show what I wished to know—
While its meaning came up to mo 1
Then my boy with his father’s features,
And bright hairs’ golden hue,
With his rosy lips half-parted, .
And opened eyes of blue;
By the flickering light of the candle
Crept up as I watched the sea,
And his baby-tone so like his own,
Thro’ its moaning came up to me!
And his baby arms clung tightly
As I lifted him to the sill ;
And his cooing tones so like his
That forever more were still 1
“0h, darling l” I cried, as my teardrops
Fell as I looked to the sea
Whose voices ions and monitono
In moaning came up to me l
But my baby’s kisses soothed me,
And his cooing tones, and low,
Brought back the ones of his father
As he wooed me long ago.
And— my teardrops stopped their falling,
While I looked at the midnight sea
Whose foam-capped waves cover many graves
And their moaning came to me!
So I knelt there by the easement
And looked at the clouded sky,
The hungry sea, and tho billows
That rose up mountain high,
And the lightning’s fiery flashes
Lit up the land and sea,
And I heard the roar of the {wave-washed
shore
Whose moaning came up to me.
Just then. thro’ the deep night’s darkness,
Thro’ the blinding thunder-storm;
Thro’ the flashes of light and darkness

The door swung back on its hinges,
Thro’ the roar of the angry sea,
In the candle light from the stormy night-—

Queer Epitaphs.
Queer epitaphs are numerous, but one
of the queerest is this, taken from a stone
at Cbildwell, Eng.,
“Here lies me and my three daughters,
Brought here by by using Seidlitz waters;
If wetland stuck to Epsoms salts,
We wouldn’t have been in these hero vaults.”
Another given us at St. Andrews, N. B.
last summer is as follows :—
“Herc lies the body of Betsy Binn
Who was so very pure within
She bust this outer shell of sin,
And hatched herselfa cherubin.”
Still another who was a victim of Seld-
litz :
"Here lies the body of Mary Ann Lowder,
She burst whllp drinking a seidlitz powder;
Called from this world to her heavenly rest,
She should have waited till it cfi‘ervesccd.”

A sparrow talc from the Wakefield,
Mass, Bulletin: “While a gentleman was
walking down Pleasant street the other
day, he noticed several English sparrows
peeking away at lhe tail of one of their
mates. Ashe approached the group they
all ficw away, except one. And that un—
forlunalc one had his tail frozen into the
lbiu ice. He Was a prisoner. The gen-
tleman freed the little bird, and let him
fly away. It appeared as if the sparrows
.had been digging away at the ice to re-
lease their captured comrade.
The Chinese consul at Dcnvcr,l\lr. Chill
Poo, reports that about. 100 of the 700 or

work and will go elsewhere. “I guess,”
he said to a Denver Republican reporter,
“all of them could get work (0-day if they
would accept the wages that are offered
them, but they won’t. The wages are
entirely loo small. Some people have an
idea that a Chinaman can work for noth-
ing and live on air. That's a mistake.
The majority of Cbiuamcn in Denver will
not work for less money than the white
men are getting."

“Are you, really?” “Yes.” “Then gimme
