years he had both taught aud preach

Welker, and is simply harrowing in
its disasters and horrors.
In 1739 Samuel Suther was one
of a family of fifteen that sailed for
America. The vessel enoountertd
thirteen furious storms and was foui
months at sea. When at last the
fated ship hove in sight cf the
American shore, she went to peiee-f1,

began the struggle of life in the
wilds of the Western Continent. As
s usual with the Swiss, he was an
excellent scholar, and S.is3 bacb-

came devoutly pious, and other as
pirations Glled his soul. That he
laid well the foundations fur religi

idt will readily appear, for scarce
ly had he left his cbnrcvs in Meck-

Lutheran and Bcformed Churches of

abroad a strong delegation of two

Mr. I ',7 Cope, of Harri3burg,
and a gentleman who espoused the

Nov, 1G, 1S92.
The Standard ha3 nothing to take
bick ; we persued a course that we
thought right and yet think right.
No man, with regards for his cwn
feelings, could do more.
We regret, however, that we could
not consult Mr. Cope's feelings and
notions m the matter of politics;
and we regret too that we haven't
run the Standard to suit him.
There is mourning avd sadness in
this office: '"Yonr enemy until
death" is a severe sentence to pas3
upon a weak, frail man, who be
lieved just in much in his own
course, a3 did Mr. Cope in his own.
Notwithstanding this terrible
calamity visited upon us in a de
liberutsj and cool moment by Mr.
Cope, we pray t he richest cf he aven's
blessings upon his ha-l ; may his
conscience never lash him; may
pence reign supreme in his soul ; and
when "death" come?, may his soul
uot feel any Aching ou account of
his verdict ; ad while it is painful
to live under Mr. Cope's enmity we
lOiK his death may be three or four
core years off j et.
The above is genuinely sincere;
there is not a kiud act in our power
that we wcukl not do for Mr. Cope,
and notwithstanding the penalty we
have to suffer, we entertain a fond
affection for him, but we can never
forgive him for writing to us on a
lady's size postal card. We forgive
all, but this ne cannot forgive.

Many Third prty men are aston

they are glad old Grover went in.

Hc-.v IIUlcs Are Tanned.
Better leather is made today from
hides in from sixty to ninety days than
was manufactured in the old way. It
should be remembered, however, that
hides are tanned in precisely the same
manner now they have always been
That is, the same agencies are used for
combining it with the gelatine of the
bide and for converting it into leather.
Modern tanners have simply discovered
methods by which the tannic acid is
made to penetrate more quickly into the
pores of the skin. This is accomplished
partly by frequent manipulation of the
hides while in the vats and partly by
special treatments for keeping the pores
of the skin open during the tanning
process. It is a fact well known to all
tanners that any method or process
which will hasten the union of the tan
nie acid with the bide shortens materi
ally the time necessary to convert it
into leather. New York Advertiser.

The Cultivation of Hickory Nuts.
Much is being done in the cultivation
of hickory nuts. Nurserymen are plant
ing and grafting tho young trees, which
they sell to growers. No orchards are
as yet in bearing, but there are wild
groves of Cno varieties m Ohio which
are regularly harvested. There are
shagbarks in Iowa of large size which
have such thin shells that they can
readily be cracked by grasping two to
gether in the hand. From such stock
grafts are taken by the growers, and
the process of progressive selection will
doubtless develop some very remarka
ble results in the course of a few years.

A TRAPPER'S STORY.
B Found a Strange Occupant n Hll
Cabin and Saved a Life.
"Sunday -was cold and wet," said the
manager of a woll known lumber com
pany the other d;ty, "and I had a
dreary time of it up in Huntsvillo. We
gathered around the fire in the rain,
and tried to shorten time by telling
stories of tho woods chieily, as most
stories are in the back country. One
old trapper, a character in his way, but
uot of a romancing disposition, told us
a story something like this :
" 'A good many years ago, when
trapping was a better business than it
is now, I did a good deal of work in the
district back of Fenelon falls. One
summer I built a camp really a
wigwam like an Indian's and stored
away my traps. It was on the bank of
a stream and in tha course of tho sum
mer when I passed up and down in my
canoe I sometimes stopped over night
and slept there. One night, as dusk
was changing into dark, I came down
the stream on the way to Fenelon falls,
some twenty miles away. I felt tired
and decided to sleep at the camp and
see that my traps were all right.
" 'As I came up to the wigwam I no
ticed something white inside. It was
so dark that I could not tell what it
was, but I concluded it was some ani
mal that had crept in and made a den
for itself. In that wild country the
thought never struck me that it could
be a human being, and, besides, it lay
6tretched along the ground just as a
wolf would be. I had my revolver in
my belt, and raised It to shoot, but
lowered my hand again. A second
time and a third I took aim, but some
thing seemed to keep me from drawing
the trigger. Then I lit a piece of bark
and went up to the camp.
" 'A woman lay there with a white
dress all torn to shreds, with one shoe
and ' stocking gone and the other in
rags, but with three magnificent rings
on her fingers. She was almost dead,
And though she looked in my fac
gave no answer to my questions. She
was dying of hunger I saw at once, and
running out I started a fire. While it
kindled I gave her biscuit and other re
freshments that I had. Then I cooked
6ome fish, and the first sign of life she
gave was to point at the fish and to hei
mouth. She was ravenous and ate till
I was afraid to give her more. But
what to do with her? She could not
stay there in the wood3 and was fast
becoming delirious. I tied her feet to
gether and did the same with her arms
60 that she could not move or jump up
and upset the canoe.
" 'Laying her down in the bottom a3
comfortably as I could I set out foi
Fenelon Falls, and you may be sure I
paddled that night at my best speed.
She was recognized at Fenelon Falls as
the daughter of a wealthy American
visitor and carefully tended. After
ward we learned that she had been out
boating, and landing, had wandered
Into the woods and lost herself. Ilet
boat was found and it was supposed
she was drowned. She had been six
days in the woods when she found her
way to my camp.' " Toronto Globe.

A Short Way with Dans.
In former times, when the Highland
chieftains were not so prompt in their
payment, a tradesman from the low
country, impatient for his money,
found, with some difficulty, the way to
one of their castles. Arriving at night,
he had his supper and was put to bed.
On looking out in the morning he ob
served, opposite to his window, a man
banging on a tree.
Asking a servant the reason of it, he
was told he was a Olasgow merchant,
who bad the impudence to come here
and dun the laird. The tradesman,
Immediately calling for his boots, went
off without unfolding his errand. The
laird had caused the effigy of a man to
be hung up in the night, and Instructed
bis servants what to say, which had
the desired effect. Scottish American.
