A Narrow Escape.
While MI s.rs. .J. D. Smith and Capt.
MeFall were ret urning home from the
harbecue at Chappells last Saturday a
very hird rain came on. Before
they reached Scotts creek. the stream
had swollen very high, too high to
cross, 1-ut they wanted to get home;
Capt. MeFall got out and walked
a log. Mr. Smith hadn't gone half
way through the creek when the
huigy turned over on top of him, anl
the water was so swift that the lior e
could not swim with the bug:y, :mnd
they were all three carried tlowin
streain. Mr. Smith imianaged to get
out sa'elv. and when lie reached the
bank lie thought of his E?O1 horse that
was still in the creek; the buggy
caught in a willow some way and the
horse broke loose, and managed to
get out too. Mr. Smith had no idea
that the water was as swift as it was
or lie would not have tried to cross.

-cdog bark in the four weeks. and
ethe midnight meowing of Thomas

d o grow wild; the cats knowv better
-t'ani to behave unruly. Even Sir.
Schanticleer is not as ambitions and
he 'ilicose as those at home. they
Sseldom ilap their wings o: crow.
t Ye kn ow not whether this rem arka
ble staite of things is brought about
by the repeated and never ceasing?
schreechm of locomotives or not. It
- maiy be so; and that people, ani

1tink tha't this noise is suthicielnt.
It i only the str'eets we allude to
it tha are somrkedi by silence. in

those wi th whom we have come in

rom the fact that tile Norther a
'5 people are a reading peole-uniiless
when at work they have a paper or
book always in hand. some ev'en
iplace a book in rest and read and
work at tihe same time.
We went a fishing, and thecreby hug~
the tale which will l e related. This
sport had beena contemplated for
aseveral days. but the weather which
I cannot be controlled. proved day
Safter day unfavorable. At lengthi the
clouds were all rolled back, and
securely pinned, and the sun smiled
serenely, the wind slso blew favor
a :blj from the right quarter. an
the tide was on the flood. Surelj

reminded by all this of some of our
experiences on Bush lIiver. or the
Salad;a.. Capt. Stagg having loln!d
the spot where fish -most to con
greLrate,' dropped ane: or, and our
boat swung round. ani we bnited
our hooks. cast th.!m into the w:
ter, and the sport connunenceed hil
mediately, if' not sooaer. Mr. Ilurd
had the pleasure of taking the first
fish out of the water, but in a man
ner (ifierent from thI:e (ceptab
mode, this fish being hung by the
helly; no matter though it was a
fish caught. The Capt. took ti.e
next. and the writer the third, but
though last we were not least in
.ze. as ours was th:' "hefti( st.
Agaiii, again. and a,ai1n. we baited
and calight. and caught antd baited.
We sat with hated breath as we
Iait ed for the fish. Such sport we
had never enjoyad befre". the unly
tible attendinii it was that of
ai ing the hooks. and to east them
in was to insure a fish. A strange
feature. and one whic."h called for
many a laugh. was the fact that Mr
IIuriu< caught two-thirds of his fish
in the same place he hooked the
first one-in the belly part. Not
until this had been repeated over
and over again was a solution of the
iystery had. One of his books
hung an inch or more under the
othe~r. and whenever the jerked at a
ite. lie would hook tie other fi.sh
which was standing aruunl waiting
his chance to bite at the savory
hait. It was a glorious day. and
we, that is the writer, caught the
largest fish everytime. The largest
one caught weighed two pounds
and the most of them were BlacIk
fish. This state of things continued
until two o'c'ock. when the -un
semeid to shine with intense l.eat,
and1( affected us so seriously that the
ih had to be once more raised and
.et as a shield to protect us fro:n
Sol's ardient raovs. F'or fifteen min
utes or more w~e thotught we wouhl
sueumb-for! unately the shade
atord.ed by the sail prevented an .y
thingi serious. At four o'clock we
were at home again, and counting
out the catch. ound it to be eig~h/.j

we will try it again no doubt.
The shipment of fii'e head of .Jer
ser' calves, two bulls1 and thrie<
he'ifers, was made at this point I
few days ago. TIhe shipper tol(
us that lie had so'. 1 them about on'

calves were of re.;i stered stock. an'

Like To See.
"y tht, 011 One."
What a mistaken idea it is for
children to think that they know
more than their parents, and unfor
tunately they don't discov-r the er
ror until it is too late. When they
too become parents, and are blessed
with children who are wiser than
they are, the seles fall from their
eyes and they see that they
are as ignorant as their unfor
tunate iroenitors were-that is
in the eyes of their children. We
never see one of these smart young
people but our heart bleeds for
thela-for they are in errors dark
a:d clouded way, and moreover
they sin, in that 2:ev forget the
co11,nandlent -1Ionor thy father
and thy mother. that thy days may
be long in the land, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee." Children,
your fathers and mothers may not
be as ace omplished as you are, : o
far as the polite accomplishments of
the day go, but they are infinitely
wiser in experience, and know bet
ter what is good for you than you
vourselves. We love to see obedi
ent. tractable, gentle children who
value the opinions of father and
mother as pearls beyond value, but
when we see one of the other stripe
then we think they are in the road
to ruin. Children ,obev your par
ents.
The following paragraph gives
valuable informatio-, and we ad
vise its careful perusal, and its ob
servance:
In Bravado a young man placed
the muzzle of a gun under the wa
tcer and fired the charge. The .e
sult was the bursting of the barrel
near the breech and the mutilation
of the hand. Another placed and
held the nuzzle of his piece square
against a piece of plate window
glass. and fired the charge-powder
and a bullet. The glass was shlat
tored, so was the gun barrel. An
other instance was that of an expe
rimewnter who had heard tihat a can
dIe could be fired fromi tIle barrel of
a gun througe an inch board. He
drove a candle into the muzzle of
his gun, fired, and the explosion
split the barrel almost its entire
lengrth. and dlid not even drive thle
candle from the muzzle. Still an
other burst of a gun barrel was
caused by3 tile use of wet grass for
a wad. well rammed o'.er a charge c f
We would like to hav-e Mr. Z. L.
IWhite's opinion as to shooting a
candle thlrough a plank from a gun.
We belie-ve thmat lie says it can be
- done.
Tile following experience of a
man's first knowledge of what a
Methodist is will lie found interest
ing, and wvill fill a place in this col
mun: lie say-s. we were horn in a
t town whlere thlere inevei has been a

thecre was not, so far as we know,
a :1sinl2 Methodist professor-a
own wIhere tile Cong(regration1alists,
jand the Ihiitists fed tile shleep and
fought for the lambs. We heard
and read about the Methodists, hut
never saw one until we went away
roi home to teach school. Then
we fell into a nest of thlem, there
w as no0 mlistake abort it. We niev
-er dloubted it. We can never for

no ag.for it was in a country
town,i but the room was full. There
we first came uder Methodist fire.
We wer-e curious to learn how thley
Sdid it, and we found out. It was a
h ard place for a luke-warm Christian
'and a most uncomfortable place for
Sa sinner. We then got our first
t dea ot Methodism, and it has never
left us. We saw time real thing and
f -fit thme heat, and we have loved
them ever since.

SThe Americani Midgeits. Genieral
.Mite and Miss Millie Edwards of
.whlose marriage in Manchester,
y -ngland, the Lidon KNc- of May
e 29. says: General Mite, whose
e real name is Francis Joseph Flynn,
e is 19 years old, and was born at
f- Greene, Chenango Co., N. Y. Ile
r is hut 22 inchles in height, and
I weghs only- 9 pounds. The bride,
Miss Millie. is 17 years of age. and
"stands 1I.K inches high, and weighs
e only- 7 po~unds. She was born in
ti the tae f Mihigan. They havd
been traveling together about t c:
years. They were dressed in trav
eling costume. When all things
were ready, they were lifted upon a
low table. It is said the little
people were quite self-possessed,and
showed no embarrassment. They
will spend their honeymoon on the
continent.
We would like very much to fol
low the dear little couple awhile in
their travels. say just while the pe
riod of their honeymoon lasted, so
as to tell our readers more about
them. How true it is that every
Jack must have his Jill.
Last year we lamented the ab
sence of fruit and during the long
winter the mourning continued,
because our closets and our cup
boards groaned not in a plenitude of
cans and jaws of delicious peach,
pear. plum and grape preserves. The
good housewife could not set be.
fore her guests the fruits of her
handiwork, aul the children cried
in vain for the goodies which
used to be spread on their bread.
Nature in her prodigality has
smiled on us this summer, fruit of
all kinds is plentiful, and it will be
wise for the good wife to lay in a
large store out of the great abun
dance. Cans and jars are cheap.
and in the absence o: these gather
up all the wide-mouthed bottles to
be found and preserve all the fruit
you can. Do this and your winter
will be passed in sweet peace.
Do you mind that this is the sea
son when the sweet girl graduate
bedecks herself in gaudy array and
receiving her diploma throws aside
her girlhood and enters upon the
realities of life, endowed with all
the accomplishments of French,
music, embroidery, and the know
ledge of tattin? Does she know
how to make a loaf of light bread,
broil a steak or prepare a cup of
good coffee ? Alas. her education
stopped with Lattin and French.
Moses, it is said, was the greatest
sinner of olden times, for he broke
the entire ten commandments at
one time. What a great reprobate
he was.
Novels are written to gratify the
taste of the public, and it is per
fectly astounding how many of
these there are which should nevei
have seen the light of day. They
are pernicious and evil in their in
fluence and do vast harm. We be
lieve that it is the opinion of all
good men and women that it were
better such books had never been
written. Some of these books will
do for any one to read; the influ
ence they exert is good, we like to
read them. We advise against the
evil of letting the mind be taken
up~ entirely with the book which is
being readl, there is no question of
doubt as to the injuriousness of
such a course. A little light read
ing of an interesting book relieves
the mind after labor; it is soothing
and helpful. WVe have just had
the pleasure of reading one of Geo.
Macdonald's works-'Donal Grant'
It is a book which will benefit the
reader instead of doing him harm,
and will interest him from begin
ning to a chapter or two before the
end, which we confess is anything
but satisfying. We never could
see the taste or the necessity of
p)recip)itating a violent fever, or a
galloping consumption on a charm
ing and intelligent heroine,or break
ing the neck of a noble fellow, whom
you have followed with admiration
through two hundred pages of letter
press, and who you would infinitely
prefer seeing marry and transmit a
noble progeny. But every writer
does not see with our eyes-unfor
tunately, or many a beautiful girl, or
fine specimen of a man, would to
day be alive--in books-instead
of lying enveloped in the mnouly
earth. We find this fault with D)on
al Grant.
"Dreams., books, are each a world. and
b)ooks we know,
Are a substantial wvorld, both pure
and good:
Romnd these, with tendrils strong as
1lesh and blood,
Our pastimet. and our happiness will

Peas, beans and cabbage, all in
rows, how they grow. The benefi
cent seasons have worked wonders
in gardlens. Everyone who has a
plot of ground large enough to plant
vegetables in is now happy, the
"winter of their discontent" is gone,
and now the table is spread with
wholesome, sunburt garden fruit.
Long may peas, beans, cabbage,etc.,
grow and flourish, and the heart
warm with gratitude to the all-wise
