A BETRAYED GIRL'S ' REVENGE
A Tragio Night Aboard a Steamboat on
the Mississippi.
A Forcljin Aasnssln Trnclcctl null
Poisoned "With n Pin Detec
tives nt A Faro Table.
Tlicro wnsopon nnil heavy gnmblingilay
nnd night in the cabins of the Mississippi
river steamboats in 1817. Professional
gamblers , as a rule , managed the busl-
clcss ; but thcro were not ti few blj ? games
among planters , merchants , and other
travelers , in which no "blackleg" had n
gcat. Games oi botli kinds were in full
blast In the cabin of lh < 3 ! 3."voil Hello ono
evening In May of that year , as slio
pushed her way up stream some forty
miles below Memphis.
At ono table four men were playing
poker , betting heavily. Two of them
wore southern planters , a third was n
young physician , just graduated from a
northern college nnd returning to his
southern homo , while the fourth was an
.Englishman with whom the young phy
sician had struck up an acquaintance.
The Englishman was the only ono of the
quartet with whom this narration has
anything to do. His name was Illingly ,
though ho ehoso to bear something very
diilerent at this particular time , and his
profession was that of a detective belong
ing to the force of Scotland Yard , Lou-
don.
don.At
At another table near by a gama of
faro was being dealt by a foreign-look
ing chap nn elegantly dressed follow ,
who was rendered rather remarkable by
an an abnormal whiteness of face and
hands , \vliiuli was rendered very striking
by the iiiloii.su blackness of his hair and
mustache. The name ho went by was
Joachiinson. Around the faro layout
wore a do/.en pigeons whom he was indus
triously plucking. Among the pigeons
were two who were making but small
bets , nnd without fe'uenung to bo
, \tt all in collusion or even con
scious of each other's presence , were
each engaged in furtively but keenly
watching the face of the dealer , as if to
assure themselves of his identity. Ono
of these was a sturdy , suiooliilv shaven
man , about ilo years of ago , red-faced ,
somewhat roughly dressed , and with a
reckless , indifferent manner. The other
was suoniinjjly quite young , elegantly
attircdt and from the way in which iio
wore lus "slouch" hat , drawn down over
his eyes , it would readily bo inf cued
that ho did not court observation.
This latter , after some time spent in
watching.anil silent play , threw upon the
table a gold coin of considerable value.
It was a foreign coin , upon the face of
which was a drop ot red sealing-wax
that looked like
A Ditor OP iiLoon.
The dealer started involuntarily and
looked iij ) at the person who hail just
dropped the coin. Ho could not turn
any whiter than ho was before , but for
an instant his heart scorned to stand still
as he stared at the stern and handsome
young fuco before him. Apparently
satishcd with the impression produced ,
tlio player faintly smiled , took up the
coin again , as if actuated by a change of
purpose , ami strolled away down to the
cabin. Nothing of all this by-nlay was
lost on the stout plnyor , who , in a tew
minutes , turned from the game and ex
changed a quick glance of understanding
with the pOKor-pIayor ; unnoticed by any
but him. That glance , interpreted ,
meant : ' 'I am sure of our man. "
The pale-faced gambler ere long gave
up his seat to an accomplice , and with an
alVectation of weariness yawned and went
forward to the bar , where he took a
drink , and then lounged out and up the
narrow btairs to the hurricane deck.
Like a shadow the tall stranger followed
him , but by the time ho reached the upper
deck the gumblor was well aft , in com
pany with another person the young
man who had thrown the gold piece on
the table walking close together , and
talking in suppressed tones. In the
moonlight the stout pursuer could not
cot near enough to them to hear what
they were saying. Could ho have done
so ho would nave heard the gambler ex
claim , after a sharp glance all about to
see that ho and his companion wore alone :
"So , Nellie , you've iound mo. "
"Yes. Tracked you all the way. I
told you long ago that it would bo losing
unnio for'jou to attempt to play foul with
Nellie Uichmeicr. "
"Well , now that you have found mo ,
what do you wiuitf"
; 'J might want the honor , peace of
mind and good name that I had when
you won my love ami took mo from a
happy homo in Horlin , to bo the wife of a
GA.MUU'.lt , FOIIGEJl , THIEF AMI ) ASSASSIN. "
"Hard woids you use lightly , pretty
ono. "
"No harder than you deserve , Jansen ,
ami don't taunt mo with any of your
sneering compliments , or I'll make it the
worse for you , "
"And don't you use that name here tome
mo , or you may accidentally find your
self going over into the water. "
"Bah ! You can't frighten mo. You
asked mo what \vanto < i7 First , I want
my share outof that London job. You
got away with ovary shilling of the swag
and loft mo to bo hanged if I was not
sharp enough to escape being caught.
Now , I demand a thousand nounds. Second
end , I want to break up your relations
with that yellow-headed huzzy that you
deserted mo for. You've got her hero
aboard , under the name of Mrs. Delaticld.
Oh ! I know her the moment I put my
eyes on her. Third , last , and all time , I
want revenge , and I'll have it. "
"You don't want muchdoyou"fincered ,
Jnnscn , "and yet it is more tlian yon can
cot. As for the money , it's gone. Out
side the bank that my partners and myself -
self have to keep for the game , I haven't
got $100. "
"Uob the bank then. It won't bo the
first timo. "
"Don't try my patience too far , I warn
you. "
"Will you got mo the money I de
mand J"
"No. leant. "
"Then I'll have my revenge anyway , "
"What will yon do ? "
"In ono hour from this time if j-ou do
not put 1.000 In my hands , I will go to a
man on this boat and say to him : 41 know
yon and snrmiso what you are after. You
want the man , Henry Jansen , who , in
London , on the llth of August last ,
HEAT OUT Tin : intArxs
of an old man named David Seabury ,
nnd robbed him of money and valuables
worth over ' 3,000. There" ho is , dealing
fnro. His present name * is Joacldmson ,
but ho is your man. "
Fora few moments the gambler stood
motionlesdjthon in a constrained whkpar ,
demanded :
"Do you mean to say that thcro is a
Scotland Yanl detective aboardV"
"I do. Illingly is down stairs playing
poki-r within liftocn foot of where you
have lx on di-alingall evening. "
"And you have put him on my track
and brought him linre , " ho ejaculated
lumrsoljr clutching at bur throat.
The girl eliuliul him , and in so doing
gave one of his hands a deep scratch with
u long shawl pin that she had been twirl
ing in her lingers. Just then a cough
WOd heard forward in the shadow of the
bmoko-stacks , and in a moment more the
figure of a burly man stepped out into
the moonlight'nnd strode hlowly aft. The
milnbli-r . .pr.ing to the .sido of' the ili-ek.
tliiYiv lihn-cj { down , reached OV T and
clutciu'-d . ; itrot' the stanchions upholding
the dock , and by a swift movement
chmbca down to the deck below , where
ho disappeared. Evidonlly , ho believed
himself betrayed and pursued.
No words were exchanged between the
persons left on deck. The girl , in mascu
line attire , stood as if irresolute for a few
moments , then , muttering through her
clenched teeth , "Well , I'vo had my re
venge , any way ; and now for the other1 ! '
went bolow. Tlio burly man , who re
mained , lighted a cigar nnd waited. In n
little while ho was joined by IHingly.who
had made some excuse ( o leave the poker
game , and who greeted him vrith :
"Well , Arkcll , are % 'ou sure of him ? "
"Yes. And what I didn't hope for
wo'vo got the girl , too. "
' hat ! Hh old mistress ?
"Yes. Nellie Richmoter , who decoyed
Seabury to his death , and was Ueserlcu by
Jansen when ho escaped , They are both
on board. "
"That's what I call luck. "
"We will have to look sharp and nab
them when wo * got to Memphis , or they
may uscepoUs . "
Just then thcro wns
A PLASH IN THK IttVCH ,
faintly audible above the splashing nolso
of the paddle wheels , but distinct enough
to call the attention of the two detect
ives. They stunned to the side and
looked over. Knpldly disappearing astern
was the ( iguro of a man clinging tosomo
light object that buoyed him up in tlio
water. .
"I'll bet a million pounds that's ho , "
exclaimed Illingly , excitedly.
"Don't make such big bets , 'cause you
mightn't get a chance to hcdco if you
should want to , " replied Arkoll calmly.
" 1 fear you nro right , but wo may as we'll
lake a turn below , nnd see if ho is miss-
inc. "
Illingly was right. Jnuscn had found
on the boiler deck n bnndio of Venetian
doors , shipped as freight , and had util
ized it as a raft. Before going he had
trjed to warn his new mistress , Airs. Del-
alicld , that she was in danger from her
revengeful predecessor , but she was
talking to some ladies when the cabin
boy handed her itis hastily scrawled line ,
"Come to your stale-room at once , " and
did not obey the summons until several
minutes had elapsed. Thou it was too
late. Ho had already gone. Scarcely ,
however , had she entered the stateroom -
room , when she was startled by someone
'
ono stepping in after her and'closing
the door. Turning , she found herself
confronted by n slender , irood-looking
young man , as the dress of the intruder
proclaimed , though the face was not
masunlinc.
"Who are you , and why are you here ? "
she demanded.
"I am Mrs. Jansen , formerly Nellie
Richmoier , the lawful wife of the
scoundrel whoso mistress you arel"
" ( Jet out of this ! I don't know you ,
and don't ' wish to ! don't , know who yon
are talking of ! Got out. "
That much of the dialogue was heard
clearly by people in the cabin near the
door of Mrs. Delalield's state-room. Then
there was a confused sound of both
women wrangling at once , followed by a
violent scutlio , oaths and screams. The
doors wore forced open and both women
were found
ON" TIIU ri.OOU.
Nellie had received her death blow-
from a dagger in the hands of her blonde
antagonist , who seenictl to have no other
injury than a deep and long scratch
across her white throat and down on her
breast. A triumphant laugh , mingled
with the gurgling sound of the death
gasps in Nellie's throat , and she ceased
to live. The other woman's Might wound
was bound up , and she seemed none the
worse for the encounter. She left the
boat at Memphis , as did also the
English detectives , who 'uado haste to
charter a small boat and set oil' down
the river , hoping to make good time
with the current , get some trace of tho.
fugitive , and overtake him. < j
That afternoon Mrs. JJolafiold , who
had put up tit the Southern Hotel , was
taken violently ill with a raging fever.
Her throat swelled. The scratch upon it
grew to look like a ribbon of lire. Hourly
she grew W9rso , despite all that doctors
could do for her , until on the afternoon
of the second day she died , in terrible
agonies , from acute blood-poisoning ,
Illingly and Arkcll learned from a dar
ky "jugging" for catlish in the river , that
: v white man had como ashore the niglit
before baying that ho had fallen accident
ally from a steamboat , and that lie was
even then in a cabin on the bank , very ill.
They found him very easily , but saw at a
glance that he would neverbo takuli back
to England for his crime there. Ho was
Kuilering from the same , virulent canso
that was at that same hour killing his
mistress. His hand was swollen out of
shape , his arm was already larger in cir
cumference than his log , thirst and fever
tortured him , part of the time ho was de
lirious and great discolored blotchc.5 were
appearing on his skin. , ,
" 1 know you , " ho gasped , as the defect
ive entered the cabin. "You are after
mo , but it won't do you any good. I
won't live over-night.
NILIIK : HAS IIOXE FOU sin.
I taught her the trick , and she has settled
mo with it. Fool that i was not to knife
her before she had thobhaneo. "
"What did she do ? " queried Arkoll.
"Slio scratched me with a pin that had
boon poisoned by thrusting it into the
half-rotton llcsh of a dead man and letting
ting the poison dry on it. Nothing can
save mo. "
No. Nothing could , and in the conrso
of a , few hours the wretch was only a
mass of carrion. The betrayed girl's revenge -
vengo was complete.

HELD AND FARM ,
Cnro of Early Lambs.
The first lamlj' ' ot the season will be
likely to npp ar about this time , and to a
careful shepherd this is n matter of anx
iety. The neWi born lamb is a wonk
thing , and tlio owe is nt limes not nearly
so motherly as she should bo ; consequent
ly the young yhing is in danger of being
lost unless card Is given to it. Chilling
is the grcntc3 danger. If kept warm ,
the lamb canjdo very well without nour
ishment for a few hour ? , and a little
warmed , fresh' cow's mlk ! , giyon with a
teaspoon , will strengthen it until it can
be returned to the ewe and helped to
suck , after which It will bo able to take
care of itsolf. The Scotch shepherd ,
whoso flock ranges the exposed moun
tain pastures , keeps n lire in his hut and
a warm blanket in which to nestle the
lambs whicn are dropped in stormy
weather" . After successfully battling
with its proverbial adversity for twenty-
four hours the lamb is usually past
danger if ordinary care is exercised to
avoid accidents.
The profit to bo derived from early
lambs which can bo made ready for mar
ket by April or May , should bo an incen
tive , both to keep a small flock , and to
care for it in tlio host manner. The Hock
should be an annex to every farm ; it
costs little to feed , and the care ol it
conies mostly at a season when there is
leisure to give it. There is no reason why
the farmer who will go to the cost of pro
viding n warm poultry house with n front
of wide sash open to the south to receive
tlio sun should not do as much for his
lloek , and have a shed thus provided for
the ewes with early lambs , or at least for
the lambs to shelter in for a day or two ,
After that period is over the protection is
not needed. It would bo necessary to
protect the sash inside with bars to wo-
vent tlio ewes from breaking tlio glass.
A sort of artificial mother , too , might
equally well bo provided for tlio lambs as
for the much less valuable chickens.
Reviving Chilled I < ainbs.
A Montana correspondent of The Sheep-
Breeder writes : It frequently happens
that a new-born lamb maybe brought to
Jife , as is said , when it is so chilled that
it seems almost dead by immersing in
hot water. When they are able to swal
low , a few drops of s ints will restore
tlnm. They should also be rubbed while
in the water to restore circulation. They
may be revived in the same way when
stilV. Those young animals will endure
much cold if they once get up and get
some milk , but while the weather is cold
they are very liable to get chilled before
they em ; get strength enough to draw the
needed nutriment. A owe will take' much
better care of her lamb if n'ono ' in a
small pen by herself , or at least , with few
others , and the lamb will bo more sure
ot its life. Some care and attention
from the owner is needed to succeed.
A young lambtinay not bo very valuable
of itself , but it has in it the making of a
full-grown animal , and on Its preserva
tion , theret'oi1VijKmds ( ) ! the profits of the
"band" or honk When these animals
arc born early li | the season , if properly
started , they oUi much bolter growth
nnd greater size han if born later in the
season , and' arc much bolter prepared
for the first Winter , or if marketed be
fore that time arp much more profitable.
Horses Should tile Down.
Newark Advertiser : Thcro nro some
curious facts about the disposition of
horses to lie "dow.n. To a hard-working
horse repose Is almost as much a neces
sity as good foqtl , ) but. tired as ho may
be , ho 'is VMTV union shy about ilying
.down . , uind , tf Jniy have ' evqrdonjs so ,
it was only fora very bli'orl time , and at
nn hour whciftifey were not likely to be
seen. No marks have over been discov
ered upon their coats that would indi
cate that they had been lying down. A
horse is recalled now that stood for lif-
teen years , from the time ho was two
years old , in a stall at the entrance of
the stable. Up to the hour ho died no
ono had over &Ce him lying down , and
several times , after wearisome drives of
eight or ten hours , a watch was placed
upon him to see if during Iho night
ho would lie down , but ho was never
caught in that position , and ho could not
bo tempted to reelino by the sweetest
and cleanest of betiding. Ho tlied liter
ally upon his foot. He was taken sick ,
and in giving him a drench out of a
long-necked bottle with his head pulled

and expired.
Unless a horgo lies down rcEiilarly his
rosl cannot bo complete , and his joints
and sinews stillen : anil while it is true
that some horses that sleep in a standing
position continue to work for many years ,
it is equally true that they would con
tinue to work for many years longer , and
perform their work much bettor , if they
rested naturally. Young horses from a
conntiy stable may refuse to lie down
when put into a htablu in town , and the
habit may bo confirmed unless induco-
nu'iits arc offered. Horses can bo taught
to Iio down and they can also bo taught
to bo as neat and cleanly in their habits
as a civilized man.
Seasonable Hints itutl
Sorghum makes an excellent fodder ,
either when ted green or cnl and cured
like common corn and led oul as wanted.
Watch the potatoes , It they nro
sprouting rub off the sprouts and reduce
the temperature of the cellar as much as
you safely can.
Wo should not desire to dovclop the fat
of the fowl at the same time wo arc en
deavoring to socnrii eggtt. Wheat , oats ,
milk , meat and green food nro bettor ma
terials for laying hens than is corn.
During the cold Mtiason farmers olubs
are in order. Much can bo gained by
coming together and discussing ngricul-
tural questions , especially as tlio e.xpori-
cnco of each member may bo given.
When the ground is frozen hard is a
good time to uroak down the stalks , llnko
up the trash and burn it. Have the fields
as clean as possible. You will sayc tnno
both in preparing the land and in culti
vating the crops.
The shophitr/l"hould breed for size ,
weight and IOJOM , evenness of distribu
tion over the 'body ' , for loiifrth of staple
and linoness.'fpr ' vigor , healthfulness nnd
constitution , land. 'as a result ho will KOOII
have a flock afi largo , thrifty sheep , which
will yield him eiWn season , fleeces of the
highest merit.
If broken rico bo boiled -with one-third
milk and tv.rtlrir < ! s water , lidding ono
egg to each pWv > f liquid , and the mass
thickened with1iiitmoal / and cornmeal
whilii boiliugt ] will prove nn excellent
diet for very youlig chicks. It keeps well
and may bo uriimhled very easily when
cold. . m
A liorso is not 'matured until 0 years of
ago , and until then is not in full posses
sion of all iiis poiyors. His use previous
to this period sliy'ultt bo snaring , nnd earo
taken not to weaken his powers The
sterility of horses overtasked while of ini-
mature ago is common , nnd can never bo
cured.
It requires twcnty-ono days from the
egg to brills ' forth tlio perfect bee , nnd
from fourte'on to sixteen to make such a
bee a forager. But , however , such bees
arc valuable , for tiio reason that they can
do Hid housework as well as their older
bistort , ' and thus allow them to become
foragers at ongpt
After the cold waves have como and
gone the amateur boo-kcopor , anxious as
to the condition of his bees , is liable to
thump on the hives or in some way dis
turb them to see if they are yet alivo.
This should never bo done , for in so doing -
ing the beo.s will Hll themselves with
hon.uy , w.hii-h proved vdry injurious , en
gendering dysentery.
During this month cows that receive
water which has" boon warmed to a tem
perature of 110 degrees will give more
inllk than tluno compelled to drink the
ice cold liquid. This has been demonstra
ted by actual experiment , as thorotsquito
a loss of nniinnl heat on the part of cows
when compelled to drink ico-watcr in cold
weather.
If ammonia is allowed to cscapn nnd
permeate through the stable it will render
the animal liable to disease , and also rot
the harness. Plenty of dry dirt or muck
will absorb it , and the use of these sub
stances will not only assist In avoiding
waste of valuable fertilizing material but
prevent annoyance to slock from garcous
substances.
Professor MoiTow thinks It would be an
excellent nlan to have rinses in the
schools of the rural districts in wii'di
matters pertaining to agriculture may bo
taught. A lecture at least once a week on
dairying , analysis of soils , climatic Inllu-
cnces of plants and the improvement of
stock would impart valuable Information ,
especially to the advanced attendants of
the school.
Pigs farrowed in February will have
ample time during which to attain largo
size nnd heavy weight by Christmas.
April is the best month for having the
sows como in , but February pigs can bo
weaned anil turned out to forage on grass
In April. Unless preparations has liccn
made for keeping pigs very warm those
farrowed this month nro liable to bo check
ed in growth by severe cold.
If yon have u good farm hor.so keep
him. Tlio dilllculties in the way of secur
ing a good horse cannot bo realized until
the animal is really required and attempts
nro made at purchasing. But few horses
are exempt from defect of ? omo kind.
Avoid getting the boar fat. Feed him
no corn at all , and allow him plenty of
room for exorcise. If too fat Iio will beef
of but little service , anil as it will be less
expensive to keep him in moderate con
dition it is a matter of economy not to
feed him heavily.
Muddy barnyards will cause tlio milk-
to fall oil' . When cows are compelled to
stand knee-deop in mud , with their bodies
ies plastered over with it , dirt will find
its way into Hie pail , while additional
food will bo necessary to supply that lost
from cold ami exposure.
The dairyman should have his scales
ami record-book , and should weigh and
record what ho gives his cows , and also
what they give nim in return , until he
knows oxttctly'wliat each cow is doing.
Then his opportunities for weeding out
the unprofitable animals will bo increased.
Cows vary greatly In the amount of food
consumed by each , and also in the yields
of milk , and the dairyman should lamil-
jarico himself with their eharacterics dur
ing all seasons.
More than half of the diseases so
prevalent among farm horses are duo to
improper attention to the common laws
of sanitation , and farmers would save
many timi's the expense of a properly
constructed stable were they to try the
experiment. The annuals that are so
closely connected with the successful
working of the farm assuredly deserve
boiler care and allcnlion than is usually
given lliem. The humane man will
therefore sue that they have light , roomy ,
wcll-venlilati'd stables , where disease
will bo far less likely to enter.
The supposition that a pig can endure
as much cold as a horio or cow is an
error. It may bo noticed that on very
cold days Iho pigs will remain huddled
together very close , and will often refuse
food rather than leave tlioir beds. When
such is the case it is an indication that
their quarters are not as comfortable as
they should be , and too much soft bed
ding cannot be allowed them. In the
morning llio should have a warm moss ,
and a li'jcral ' sprinkling of ashes or dirt
over liio floors will bo found of assislance
in absorbing moisture.
Thcro is no part of the whole economy
of the farni that affords a greater lield
for investigation , that requires a greater
variety of information nnd more
thorough preparation , than that health-
promoting department , the growth of
fruits. Crops of other kinds , as grains ,
cotton , etc. , bring the bulk of the
farmer's income , but fruits are indispen
sable if a good , healthy enjoyment ot
life is 11113' consideration. Grains and -
vegetables all as a rule need cooking be
fore they can be used , but fruits como
from the Irco when ripe just as God made
them , ready for man's immediate uso.
The advantages of the soiling system
arc that the chicles are safe from tlio dep
redations of hawks and vermin and from
destruction by storms ; they are under
control and do not destroy the crops for
several hundred yards around their
coops , nor do they annoy the neighbors ,
nor nro Ihoy a constant source of anxiety
to their keeper , for he always knows
where to find them. Tlio evident disad
vantages are , that chicks require feeding
more frequently and carefully , and do
not get enough exercise to make hardy
breeding stock if conlincd until breeding
age.

The benefit which towls derive from
eating charcoal is acknowledged. The
method of putting it before them , howev
er , is not wull understood. Pounded
ciiarco.il is not in tiio shape in which
fowls , usually find their food , and consequently
quently is not very enticing to them.
Corn burnt on the cob and the refuse ,
which consists almost entirely of the
grains reduced the charcoal , if placed before -
fore them , they cat greedily and with a
marked improvement in Ihnh' health , as
shown by Hie bright color of their combs
and their sooner production of a greater
average of eggs to the Hook than before.
CONSCIENCE STRICKEN.
A Druggist KmptlcH Ills Stock of
WlilsKy Into tlio Street.
Springfield ( O. ) Dispatch to Cincinnati
Comniorclnl-Gazullo : Pedolrians on
Limestone street , near High , wore aston
ished this afternoon to see J , J. Brown ,
the prominent druggist of this city , como
out of bis store , carrying a number of
jugs and bottles of wines , whisky , and
other liquors. He wont back for another
load , and soon had every whisky cask
and bottle of liquor in his store ranged in
a long row along the curbstone. 15y this
time quite a crowd of persons , curious to
know the moaning of the proceeding , had
collected ,
Mr. Brown then brought out a lighted
torch. Commencing at the smaller bottles
tles , he nevttr coated until he had poured
the contents of every bottle , cask , and
demijohn into the Icy gutter , where it ran
away in a dark , fragrant stream. Sev
eral times no applied tlio torch to the
stream of liquor , but from some it refused
to burn , Mr. Brown said to your correspondent
pendent :
"For three years I have had my doubts
as to the propriety of Christian men keep
ing whibKy oven for medicinal purposes
ami have finally como to thn conclusion
that it is not right. I shall never soil
another drop as long us 1 Jive. Three
years ago 1 came to the conclusion that
it is wrong to gull cigars and tobacco ,
and I have never sold a penny's worth
since that time , Hereafter I bluill not
oven sell bitters which I know contains
whisky. Of course , a small umount of
alcohol will have to bo used in filling
prescriptions , but I shall never sell a bit
of liquor. I have never Bold whisky ex
cept for mcidclnal purposes , and 1 am
now convinced that oven that was wrong ,
I am no prohibitionist , but aim to bo a
consistent temperance man. 1 have only
bucomo convinced of the propriety of this
stop in the last few dar.s. " j

and missionary work. Dr. Leonard and

Sharp lit n Unruntn.
A Connecticut mini is usually sharp ata
bargain when he gives his mind to it. A
Watorlmry weekly newspaper made an
invariable rule to charge $1 cash down
for a year's subscription and $1.25 when
tlio subscriber was in arrears. Ono sub
scriber was thrco weeks behind when ho
wont to renew bis subscription the olhi'r
day. iio oll'orcd his dollar and was told
that. $1.85 was the price. "I'll stop my'
paper , " said the subscriber , "hero are
twelve cents 1 ewe you for tlio three
papcrsi" After the editor had poukotcd
the twelve cents the subscriber handed
over the same dollar and said ho guessed
he'd subscribe for a year. Ho saved just
thirteen cents by the operation , llo is

Mr. Philip D. Armour is a very gener
ous man. A clergyman in whom Iio bail
confidence ono day asked him for $30 to
relieve a jioor woman whoso now-born
baby was lying naked in ono room where
there was neither lire nor food. The
money was at once handed to tiio parson ,
who afterward returned it with a note
saying taat lie had "discovered that the
woman was of ill-repute and tlio child a
child of sin. " Mr. Armour at once sent
word to Mrs. Armour , who gave Iho
starving mother and child ampm assjst-
anco , while her husband , stamping with
rngo , shouted to his clerk : "If timid tl
scoundrel comes in hero again throw him
