There recently, occurred near St.
Louis an interesting incident, which
painfully illustrated the difficulty of

inasmuch
;as this particular young
woman was excessively hard to please
when she vas thoroughly dry, it may
be assumed that her wetness did not

the most gentle and amiable disposi

his lauy-ltve. The apples that young

has taken, sher to ride, and the money
that he hajs lavished in ice-cream for
her benefit', could ,not be computed
without a j large consumption of chalk.

In fact, for tle last . six months the
betting lias several Uimes beeu ten to

wljen he bought a new pistol on
Wednesday morning, so hopeful did
hU marriage prospects seem to his
backers, that they! offered eight to six
on him, with few takers. It was of
ten remained that Mr. Scott lacked
energy, and that when Mr. Dobbs was
entirely ready to marry the girl he
would kilj jlr. Scott, pitch old Mr.
Wilson ou;t of; the- window, and carry
off his bride to ithe nearest Justice of the
Peace. Three weeks ago Miss Wilson
took part jn a pichic excursion, and
Messrs. Dobbs and Scott, of course,
were also in the jrJarty. The entire
company, jncludinjg say thirty persons
of assorted sexes, were lounging after
dinner on the bank, of the stream when
Miss Wilson suddenly felt a desire to
walk out on a log that projected into
the water. Mr. Scott implored her
not to do it, and Mr. Dobbs, tempo
rarily - removing his pipe from his
mouth, remarked, "You'll get pretty
blanked wet if you try it." Neverthe
less, the jillftil beauty per&isted in
her purpose. She had nearly reached
the end of the log when it turned un
der her, and with a sharp shriek, she
fell headforemost Into the stream.
The water jwas about four feet deep,
with a bottom of soft mud, and in this
latter the head of : the unfortunate
young lady penetrated some distance.
Being thus! anchored, as it were, her
feet wavedj wildly above the surface,
and mutely begged for help. It was
an awful and impressive sceue, and
most of the ladies who were present
subsequently said that no one could
call them prudish, they must say that
Miss Wilsdn's conduct was shameful.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Dobbs simulta
neously rushed to the rescue. The
former first reached Miss Wilson's feet,
but, instead of seizing them and pul
ling her out, stood as though wrapp
ed" jin profound thought. In another
moment Mr. Dobbs was at his side
and would have caught the nearest of
the waving foct had not Mr. Scott
laid .his hand on his arm and begged
him to reflect. "It will be," said Mr.
Scoitt, "to the lastrdegree indelicate to
pull her out by the feet, and I am
sure she would not! like it. At any
rate, let us ask the gentlmen to with
driuw and tneu leave the ladies to ex
tricate our poor friend." To this Mr.
Dobbs simply m.ule a monosyllabic
aud theological reply, and promptly
hauled Miss Wilson lout.
When that young lady had been
somewhat repaired,1 ;so that she no
longer resembled an inverted umbrel
la with a curious duplex handle, her j
first act was to slap Mr. Dobbs' face
and tell him that he was a brute and
a coward to; insult her by pulling her
outs by the feet Mil Scott, eager to
improve th0 opportunity, hastened to
remark that: he had warned Mr. Dobbs
not to do it and had himself refrain
ed from touching her feet. Another
slap, and a demand to know if he was
really fool enough to he willing to let
her drown, Iwds the-reply which as
tonished Mr. Scott. After which
Miss Wilson burst into tears and call
ed her father to take her home.
Now, here vas a young lady who
was angry with one! man because he
imd pulled Jieij out of the water and
with another, because he had not done
soj To please such a girl was mani
festly an id possibility. Mr. Scott, at
all events, gave up jthe attempt, and
left town that very afternoon without
saving goodlbyV to I Mr. Dobbs, who
was waiting at a street crossing to
wish him farewell J with a shot-gun.
A -week later idiss jjWilsou married
Mr Dobbs, and although it ha3 never
been learned that helms done anything
whatever to!lease-her tfiere is reason
tojelieye that she jij very well recon-
ciled to herjlotlNfiT. Times.
Fungi in Han.
! f
i! The human ear is sometimes attack
ed by a disease which shows itself in
he form of a running sore j iu many
cases the tympanum is destroyed and
hearing lost before the nature of the
nialady is discovered. The disease is
due to the growt h of a roicroscopia
plant or fungus of the Aspergillus
family. It especially thrives when,
from any cause, the secretion of wax
in the ear is stopped or hindered. The
microscope is a valuable assistant in
the discovery of this fungus,
jl Consumption, the most disastrous
malady that afflicts humanity, is now
said to be caused by a yeast plant that
flourishes iu the blood. The presence
of this fungus in the blood is readily
shown by the microscope, and now
forms the subject of careful study
among physicians.
Dr. Ephraim Cutter, M. D., of Bos
ton, Mass., has devoted much labor
to this subject, and, we understand
has recently produced m icro-photo-i
graphs of the fungus with Tolles' re4
markable objective.
We believe that Dr. James H. Sal
isbury, of Cleveland, Ohio, was among
the earliest to detect and describe this
curious yeast plant of the blood.
Luck and Labor.
Many people complain of their bad
luck when they ought to blame their
own want of wisdom and action. Cob
deu, a distinguished writer in Eng
land, thus wrote about luck and labor :
. Luck is always waiting for some
thing to turn up.
I. Labor, with keen eyes and a strong
will, turns up something.
Luck lies iu bed and wishes the
postman would bring him news of
a legacy. s
Labor turns out at six o'clock, and
with busy pen, or ringing hammer,
lays the foundation of a competence.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance.
Labor on character.
Luck slips dowu to indigence. .
Labor strides upward to indepen
dence. "
I Didn't Know it was Loaded
A Sad Accieent. A very unfortu
nate and distressing accident, says
the Wilson Advance, occurred in Nash
county last Sunday week. Mr. Spen
cer Lindsay called to see his neigh
bor, Mr. W. W. Cooper, and, on en
tering his house, discovered a pistol
lying upon the floor, where Mr.
Cooper's children had been playing
with it. He reached down to pick it
up, and Mrs. Cooper remarked that
it was not loaded. As if to frighten
her he cocked the pistol and pointed
it "at her when it fired, the ball enter
ing Mrs. Cooper just above the left
breast and lodging under ih right
shoulder. Dr. Robert Sills, of Nash
ville, was sent for at once, and, upon
examining the wound, pronounced it
fatal. Slight hopes are entertained of
lier recovery.
Everything is bitter to him who
has trail in his mouth.

Satin? Fences.
j This is an item that should be care
fully estimated, as it is one of the heav
iest burdens of agriculture. Fences
ah needed only to restrain stock ; and
if) the stock is not pastured no fence
isj needed, except for yards, and per
haps a land to lead the cattle to the
wood lot for simple exercise. Take
the fact of fencing ninety , acres into
four fields, for pasturing thirty cows
or cattle. These fields would be 22
acres, and would require 720 rods of
fence. Now, if this fence cost only $1
per rod, and if we suppose it to last
enty years, then the decay will
amount to five per cent, a year, and
the labor of annual repair is general
ly estimated at. five per cent. The
interest on the original cost at seven
per cent, would be $50.40, and the
ten per cent far decay and repair $72,
making 122.40 as the annual expense
for fencing a pasture for thirty head
of cattle. We shall see that this is
more than the cost of labor for soiling
tHe thirty head of stock. Mr. David
Will iams carefully prepared the fence
statistics of Walworth county, Wris
cdnsin, and after deducting for waste
lands in ponds and lakes aud one-half
of the d i vision fences, he makes the
annual cost for the whole county about
Si per acre.; Mr. Prince, of Maine,
goes into an elaborate calculation of
tile cost of fences in that State in 1860,
arid the result does not varv much
from an annual cost of $1 per acre.
The late Ezra Cornell took a great in
terest in studying this question, and
gave his views in an address before
the State Agricultural Society pf New
York in 1862, and he arrived at the
conclusion that the average cost of
fencing for every acre inclosed in that
State is $1 ptr annum. If then we
take this as a fair estimate in the old
er States, every acre of the farm must
be charged at this rate, or a farm of
300 acres, which usually keeps about
60 head of cattle, would pay a fence
tax of 300 in labor and material.
The smaller the farm aud the smaller
the lots the greater the cost of fence
per acre.
Tapioca Cream. One coffee-cup
of tapioca in three pints of new milk;

over a kettle of boiling water; let it

ly until it thickens. Set it aside to
cool ; when cold flavor with vanilla
or lemon, and you will have a dish

Do All for God.
"The practical life of the Christian
comprehends three distinct elements, viz:
working, fighting and suffering. Wo
have to do the will of God in our busi
ness : this is working. We have to op
nose oar bosom sin and to resist temnta
tion ; this is fighting. We have, finally,
to endure with cheerfulness and submis
sion whatever cross the Lord Jesus
pleases to lay upon us; this is suffering.
And to be right iu the practical depart
ments of the Christian life is summed-up
in these three things, to work devoutly,
to fight manfully, and tosnfferpatitently.
Each inaife wisdom and happiness must
consist in doing, as well as his faculties
will admit, the work which God sets him.
Aud now that the true motive, which
lifts np the humblest duties into a higher
atmosphere, j and' refines away their
earthliness, and glorifies them : "Whatso

. How the Geese Departed. It is a re
markable fact, vouched by a 'witness by
no means 'windy,? that the severe storm
which prevailed last Monday, a flock of
geese near the Stewart House were liter
ally lifted from the ground, and harried
upon the wings iof the wind rapidly out of
sight, and as we have reports from differ
ent sections of the severity and exten
siveness of the storm, and as no tidings
have been received from these unfortu
nate geese it is supposed by our infer
mant that they are still driving before
that rode tempest into some far-off land
and with the same velocity he saw them
swept from view. Sad, sad casualty.
