I uu sco, the people at the post office n recognize faces and names, and r a man or vornan has appeared the ?ongral-deli very window three four times thoy are pret ty well own. It ia ft real^plcasuro to hand it letters to Rome, while the clerks ire little for the calls of others to get $<1 of their epistles. One day ? year or two ngoa funny thing little old woman, wearing 'ided garments)' but having a tidy liok and a motherly face, appeared &.the window and asked for a letter. ?bore was ohe for her, sent from a totnnt city, and any one could have d'd that an unlearned boy directed bo.^envnlopo. Theftf was a little'd' Y Detroit, with a big "T tb end the rd, and it seemed wonderful that i letter ever reached its destination, jrhe oid lady felt so good that, tears her eyes and yet trj ing hard to jile, she put her head into the Win jiv and said : [Thanks I It's from my boy Dan, you don't know how much good loesmel' |jrhe lady delivery clerk rose up to !>k after the old woman, and when a ond letter came she was looking d watching for 'mother' a whole y before the letter was passed out. u'lt's from my little Dan again,' [Jed the old woman as she noted the ncr-acriptiou. He'a'in Buffalo, learn r a trade. He's only a bit of a boy d there wasn't a show for him in 'troit, and beside he was rennins jti> nights and going to the bad. lit' him away and he's working hard d trying to be good, Got! bless my in 1 I'm a lone widow with only n to love, and I hope he'll be good !' 'I hope so, too,' added the clerk and that the two were friends. Somo tintel0 Otters were far between, and w}flBjttpld woman would worry over ? i.HjHWhkthc big tears woidd fall her at! h h? at luIH was discVniraged." Almost every week for a jear anj a half the old lady received a letter and just as regularly she came t/> pos an answer. She wrote, in a quail) toll ham', b.it the 1 by coi.hl mak< outexerj word, and ahce when he wrote thai her writing was improving she felt ali the pride which a school girl cnuh have shown. He impiovedns well By and by he wrote 'Detroit* plain ami fair., and no to;>k extra pains to com mence his 'Dear mother' with a grand flourish, and to add something extra after the words : 'Your Son Dan.' Those letters were fo<<d and drink tc the old lady, nud she seemed to nctua'. ly grow youuger. Little Dan had many friends in the postoffice, and had the mother been ill any carrier would have hunted till midnight to find her nud baud her the loeked-f r letter. Three .or four weeks ago when she opened her letter she wept and smiled as over the first. Dan wrote that he was earning-for * week, and her heart was full. She said she'd have the cot tage looking like new for h'm, and she'd be at the depot to welcome him first of all. , Every body, felt gla I with her, nud tho lady clerk was to go up some evening and have tea with her nud sec little Dan and praise and en courage him, for the more kind words n boy can have the belter will he seek to do. There was no lettor the next Tues day* but the two exciwe^ its absenc? L>y saying that Dan was getting ready :o come home. That was earlv in February, and he was to come about he first of March. The ncit Tuesday here was a letter, but the handwriting ?ras not little Dam's. It was a strange, msiness hand, and the clerk felt a chill ;o over her as she turned it over. It night be good news, lut she feared. ?Mother" came in at the regular hour, md she turned' pale as she took the mvelopc. Her fingers trembled as he opened- it, and she had to wipe the nist out of her eyes before she could Icoipher a word. Sho hadn't rend iverfoitr or five linei when she uttered . moan and sank right down, like one rushed hysomcawlul weight. They ifted her up and took her home, the otter clasped in lur stiff fingers, and hough sho came ovt of the faint after while her hear', was broken, and in weak she was in her grave. Dan was dead;! The letter said that 0 had been taken suddenly ill, and lint nothing c'uld save him. The low wu6 too heavy for one with her ray hairs and childish heart, and her 1 ttie old cottage is without a tenant No more letters commencing "Dear iother,,? conto fdr tho dead,and the rembling hands which used to hngor mdlv over tho words: "My dear boy, )an,*' are folded over a lifoless breast, ierc to rest till the angels unclasp \\Qirt.-~-I)ctroit Free l*ress. The Amateur Fire Brigade. <?<.' ? ? ? ,l' _ ? ( . Mr. Boliuk ovvns and rune a cooper shop iu Detroit, and as he keeps a dozen men at work he is bound to have his Bhop run on "system." The other day he was reading a newspaper article in regard to the prevention of conflagrations. ; The urtioie ad"L?ed all employers to lay out a regular pro grarao as to what should be dime when a fire was discovered in the shop, and drill his hands until they understood \K He bought fifty feet of hose fur the penstock, detailed a man to use it Iii case of fire, and then instructed eacli other man and boy just .hat they should do when an alarm was given. One * as to roll out barrels, auo'.he ? o save tools, another io throw stives through n window, and each one knew exactly what to jump for. ThiB was all right, and Mr.Bolink bad a good mind to cancel his insur ance policies and depend on his local fire brigade. Before taking this step, however, itoccurred to him to give hi j pogrnmme a trial. Ho had a little curiosity to see if bis employees would spring to their posts according to in structions, and he studied out a plan. One morning ho passed up stairs, kick ed a pile ofsh .vings together on an old picco of zinc, tot ched a match to tbcm, and the next minute run down stairs crying out: "The shop is on fir?! Fire! fi ,c!" The man who was to use the hose grabbed it up, threw it out of the win dow, and jumped after it, shouting "fire!" until he was heard tbrec blocks oil. The man who wots to save the touh threw an adz and hit-Mr. Botink in the back, and then hit him agaiu with a draw-shave. As Mr. Boliuk was pawing around on the floor the man who was to save the ready-made work rolled five pork barrels over him, kicked in the heads of t'ireo more, and then dug hut bh ough the back door. One man saved a piece of board six feet long; ^Mthertordcup a stave and broke two ^jR&^M^ulcn third : xnlcf aTlWrtBMfcgj^n I Hi, and-kicked op<iPffl$^gj B HWMHBj^o minute* the shop was ^le .ir j every one hut Mr. Buhnk, and he was .cruw ling out from among the bur ? rets wiien steamer No. 0 eame gallop j ing down. The smoke was rolling tip through the roof, the boys yefiiug ' "fire !" and the firemen w redetcrmin I ed to save that coopershop ?.r perish in ! the attempt. &r. Unlink heard them calling to "git tlum hose around hyar," : and to "play lier up to eighty-five," and he got to the door and shouted: \ "Hold on, gentleman, there is no 1 fire here!" 1 "Gitout'n tho way !" cried the pipe man; "yere'g }*er mi eral water!" ' "Ii'? only a joke, gentlemen; there ' is no" ? Air. Bolink was shouting, when the stream of water lilted him over the barrels out of the back door, where he sat down on a broken shave horse until his coopershop had been filled with water, and the bhnvings had burned out. During the after noon the next day his whole force were engaged in emptying barrels, wringing out draw-shaves, hanging broad axes up to dry, and otherwise getting the shop on a working basis. - ? ? , Killing Cabbage Worms. Every year we get a new batch ot remedies lor the cabbage worm?or rather, we get a rehash of the old reme dies, and every year after try ing bite or more of them, we all go back to the oldest remedy of all, the thumb and fingor. "Try again," however, is a go >d motto, so wo now give, one nwro "certain caro." It is given by a cor respondent of tho New York Tribune, and is this : "In June," he says "in going through iny early cabbage, I found one completely covered w th the worm, Immediately I obtained a hand ful of bvan and sprinkled it over the head. The worms began to pquirm and fall off the cabbage, and wher> ever tho bran touched them they seem ed to be in pain. The following morn ing they were all dead. Since that time on the fi at appearance of the worm I sow tho bran. ? Somo seasons it may be necessary to do it tho sec ond time. If tho worms a'c very thick, it is better to take a handful nnl sprinkle it oyer tho cab bage. A hundred weight is ample for and acre. This is simple, cheap, and easily tried: Fosslbly, it may he tho very thing we have been looking for. A Nevada man who had seven homely daughters, got a paper to hint that he had seven kegs filled with gold in his cellar, and every girl was mar. ricd In five mouths. M AVheu an old husband dies and loaves $500,000 to a young widow, it ; is proper for her to mourn; but It ii i I hard work. i Texas is tho best State iu the Uli ui?to get away from. i Comments on "P&d.!'1 .' :? i.v .rr-.-u.U ..*ilf Yesterday afternoon two^atrangcM, yrnlkine up und down:in the Detroit and Milwaukee depot' to puss time away,' were attracted to; a ^locomotive standing ou tho rnilsf and as they walked around it, one of them remarked:' yntqqola vd " Jv was one of tficse fellers that killed my old dad:'.' ' "Is that so?" replied the 'other." "Yea, busted him in nine or ten pieces. I never think of it without the tears coming." "' M' He sighed heavily, and wetit on : "Dad was walking on the track when shb busted him, The'engineer said ho reimbursed his lever* blowed the Whistle and did all. he,could to save the old man, who was trotting along with his head doW'n, but noth ing could warn him, Tbiti'-ore cow catcher picked him up and tossed him forty fcot high, und he turned over sevon times und come down in a corn field." "And he wbb dead ?" asked the other. "Dead! Well, I should say he was! Every rib was brokon, the veitebry was fhiverod, his skull was stove in, one leg gone, and he was the worst looking old man you ever see. I shall n. v.-r forgot the day they brought tho pile back into tbc house. There was mother weeping in tbc corner, sister Julia up by him on the bed, and I had to rju the funeral business, though I *".*i</hat ntar gone that my head swr'.irand I couldn't keep noth ing on my stomach but Injun por ridge." "It was a sad thing, indeed," "You bet it was!" continued the ion; "rtntl the newspapers come out und said dad was a blamed old fool for walking on the track?them were the verv words." "TbeV were ?" "Yes, them were the words, and I tell you it struck us bad. Dad might tave been reckltss, but he was no Fool. He bad u gcod heart, and was powerful on poetry and figuies." ^?o ^njnj^^^ejge^on the palm of Hold on' Hoya.
