The people who had been standing on the street at this point to witness the flashing by of the party hurried over. The pang had pacsed through the store, its contents, and had fallen upon the rooks and snow whefo it lay wrecked. Here and there, far and wide, were the pleasure party who had made the fearful plunge. Six of them—two ladies—were found dead, their skulls smashed and their bodies crushed almost oat of hu man shape. The living were terribly maimed, and such ss were sensible cried piteously for aid. They were oared for tenderly, bnt before daybreak four more hod paid the penalty for their rashness in death.

TrirhieoslH Is Germany. A letter from Berlin says: The re cent outbreak of trichinosis in several villages of the Prussian province of baxony has not failed to attract general attention, a special commission having even lieen deputed by the French Govern ment to study the epidemic on the spot Dr. Stammer, a physician residing at the village of Emersleben. in the centre of the infected region, has just published the first detailed accounts in s scientific journal, from which I take the most in- toresting pannages. Emersleben is situ- a ted about four miles from the district capital, Halberetadt, and numbers about 760 inhabitants. For many years it has been the eastern in this neighborhood to use minced but uncooked pork as food In great quantities, the field laborers especially being accustomed to eat this meat spread on bread for their lunch. This was again the case daring the past summer. On the 14th and 15th of Sep tember last, a large quantity of minced, uncooked pork had been consumed, the entire snpply coming from the same batcher, at Emersleben. The first symptoms of the epidemic already ap peared among some persons on the same day. The first patients were treated on Sep tember 30, and the last on October 15. The total number was 257, of whom 50, or about 20 per cent. died. The greatest Dumber of deaths took place during the fifth and sixth weeks, when 10 and 11 succumbed respectively. The ages of the patieuta whose cases resulted fatally ranged from 12 to 76. The sufferers also included many children, the young est of whom had not yet completed its second year, bnt they all escaped with their lives, except one boy of 12. Those persons who had eaten the pork after cooking or frying, suffered for from two to three weeks from stiffness of the limbs and some swelling under the eyes, but none were obliged to keep their beds. All persons, however, who had consumed more than a quarter of a pound of the meat have died. Not one of the remedies employed by the physicians had the slightest effect. An Near at the Old Piny-Ground. I sat an hour to-day, John, beside the old brook stream where we were school boys in old time, when manhood was a dream; the brook is choked with fallen leaves, the pond is dried away, I scarce believe that you would know the dear old place to-day. The sohool- house is no more, John, beneath our locust trees; the wild rose by the win dow side no more waves in the breeze; the scattered stones look desolate; the sod they rested on has been plowed up by stranger hands since you and I were fans. The chestnut tree is dead, John, and what is sadder now—the broken grape vine of our swing hangs on the withered bough; I read our names upon the bark and found the pebbles rare laid up beneath the hollow side as we piled them there. Beneath the grass-grown bank, John, I looked for our old spring, that babbled down the alder path three, paces from the spring; the rushes grow upon the brink; the pool is blaok and bare, and not" a foot this many a day it seems has trodden there. I sat me on the fence, John, that lies afrin old time—the same half panel in the path we used so oft to climb—and thought how o,er the bars of life our playmates had passed on, and left me counting on this spot the faces that are gone I—The •htiat. Chopping Wood.—You must know something of your business, even if it is wood chopping. An old Eau Claire logger says that if you are catting small lumber, which may be severed at from one to a half doxen Mows, an ax with a . long, thin blade, and as little bevel ss is compatible with strength, is chosen, and at every stroke the blade is buried to the helve. If the purpose is to feu trees or out heavy timber, and this ax is usad, it bites deep in its strokes, bat -the chip remains in the after the tnctoinna, and many Mows are requited to dislodge it ware necessary to its "formation; ftpelnrw. for this purpose, an ax having • tttok, heavy bevel, end catting not so deep, is selected.

He en- rroto a very eemmoo- in the legfatse, and dashed to be shown to bis room. . Who was he? That was what every loafer in the of fice asked, and before the new-comer had eat down in the quiet of hie room above, twenty-five persons in the room below knew hie name if it was kh What was his bosinem? , The stranger had not registered that; South town must wait and see. Bnt, strangely enough, he did not seem to have any business. He came down to tea, and then went back to his room. He walked down to the post- office next morning, smoking a very fra grant cigar, obtained two or three letters, and then came beck to his room. After dinner he sat down in the office for a short time, and some of the bolder spirits engaged him in conversation. He seemed soda! enough, but somehow his talk was all general; he would say noth ing personal. Thus matters went on for several days, and all the city became curious. Vague rumors wore afloat that his name, for the best of reasons, was an alias, and it began to be considered a patriotic duty to catechise him. Several essayed to do it, and although the stranger answered every direct in inquiry with courtesy,' yet there wss such an evident coolness on his part when the topiee began to concern him self that no one dared to aak the ques tion nearest the beating heart of the city. At length the Mayor, a man of great suavity and boldness, engaged to brave the Douglas in his hall, and ask him a few questions in smooth bnt pointed Anglo-Saxon. He had not yet met the mysterious stranger, and so he dropped in accident ally, and was introduced. He opened fire at onoe: “Ever in Southtown before 7” “No." “Going farther, I presume?" But whether he presumed correctly or not the stranger apparently did not feel bound to aay, so be was silent. “How much longer rfhall we have yon with us?” queried the Mayor, leaving presumptions and returning to interroga tions. “About two weeks.” * The crowd leaned forward as one man. “Ah, indeed I Are you traveling for pleasure?" “No.” “Pardon me, but may I ask, not from idle curiosity, but for certain reasons, what business you represent?” A visible thrill ran through the small assembly. That wss s point-blank shot. Would he dodge ? _ “You are the Mayor, I believe?” said the stranger. “Yes.” “Then I don’t mind telling you; in fact, I suppose you ought -to know.” “Yes?” “Well, I stole a saw-mill” (sensation) “and got away with it all right; but, like a fool, I went back after the dam, and they caught me. J was tried and found guilty, and the judge gave me my •choice; six months in jail or three weeks in Southtown; and, like another con demned idiot, I took Booth town.” A solemn hush followed this frank, disclosure, and the stranger, i lighting one of his odoriferous cigars, strolled sway to the post-office, and was soon afterward seen intently reading an offi cial-looking document that he received through the mail. As he left town the next morning, it waa supposed that his sentence had been unexpectedly remitted and that the official document was a pardon.—Hamer'» Drawer. Whitewash for Bnlldlngs. The beet whitewash for out-door work is made of 'lime fixed by some prepara tion whioh fixes it and makes it adhere better. A common mixture is ss fol lows: Half a bushel of lime is slacked in a dean barrel, with as much boiling water as will cover it five inches deep, and stirred well until it is smooth. Water is then added to reduce it to a proper thickness, and two pounds sul phate of nine and one pound of salt are dissolved in it It is then reedy for ue* Three pounds of yellow, ochre added will make a cream color; lamp black makes a gray or pearl color; foot pounds of brown amber, one pound of Indian red, and one pound of lamp black gives a fawn or light brown, and the amber with moro blaok makes a brown-stone odor. 1 A Brave General.

At a eertain place in the melodious recitative, they repeated: “For—give —we forgive those wbo trespass agsinst u—• QBa A man sat in a prnmtnwat plaea there, on whose silvered head the soft-blended light frees the stained glam of the efaan- oel windows fell like rays of glory. As the choir, in that swash soft monotone of harmony, repeated the petition of the prayer this man’s prood head sank lower and lower, until it touched his breast in an abasement of anguish or humiliation, for to him each simple word waa an arrow of conviction. “Forgive—us —our —trespasses —as we forgive those who trespass—against ua.” He celled hnnaelf a Christian, yet at that very moment Ua own" fleah and blood was perishing for want of help, which he could give. He called himself a Ohristian, and gave liberally to the cause of Christ, but here he failed to do one of His- first commands. He had spurned from his door in this time of peace and reconciliation his only child, who a few years ago had left him to marry the man of her choice. He had • closed his door and his heart against her, and when she humbled a pride aa strong and rebellious as his own, which indeed she had inherited from him, with her hair and eye, and begged for help for her dying child, he had spurned her from him with these cruel words: “Go! you have made your bed—now. lie in it!” He had said to himself that he waa right; he had recalled high-sounding ex amples to aid him—had written on the fly-leaves of the books she had left: “How sharper than a »erpent’( tooth it ia To have a thankless child !" Poor Nellie 1 as if she had not suffered, too I And now all other thoughts—all vin dictive resolves—were overwhelmed in that softly surging sea of melody. “ Forgive—us—our—trespasses—as— we — forgive — those—who — trespass— against—ns 1” * > * ■» *- * * a It was New Year's eve. In a squalid part of a great city, in the most miser able room of a most miserable tenement bouse, lay a little dying child. Its white and wasted face shone among the few dark rags of poverty, like the even ing stare, and the dark eyes, soon to dose on earthly trouble, were fever- bright in the rays of the flickering candle. A woman, young, pallid, dis hevelled, with a sort of reckless resolve dawning in her set face, knelt by the baby sufferer, and now and then wet the parched lips with all the nourishment they had tasted for many hours, a drop of cold water. “Mamma I Mamma rang out the little voice strong and shrill with pain, “I tan’t see ’on.” “I’m right hare, darling; no one shall separate TER” With a fierce shiver the woman added: “Not even in death !” A peal of bells rang oat, it was mid night. All the good church people were getting up from their, knees, shaking hands and wishing each other a happy New Year! “Httifl oat the want, the care, the ain, King out the grief Utat sape the mind.” “Mamma t” cried the little quivering voice of the child, “I ’ant to say my p'ayers befo’ I die.” The mother took the waxen hand in here, and knelt by the miserable bed, and soon the two voices blended in their nightly recital of the loved petition. They neither of them noticed when the door opened, and they had reached the danse, “forgive ns our trespasses ss we forgive those who trespass against us,” when a loud firm voice responded, “Amen 1” and Nellie rose and was clasped in her father’s arms.
