A Dangerous Descent.
sse Excursion Party—Shooting the La-
chine Rapids in a Storm.
A party of Americans from the White
Mountains making the tour of the St.
Taawrence ,experieneed a, lively, if not
enpleasa,nt, sensation on Thursday
evening, 17th ult., while descending
the famous Lachine Rapids. As the
vessel approached the most dauserous
rwage on the river the forward' deck
ins thronged with tourists, eagerly
awaiting the appearance of the famed
rapids. The scene was beautiful, the
majestic steamer with the various decks
crowded with passengers, arrayed in tood para -
bright hued attire, rapidly descending from the

straw damp. Just then a dull, faint,
rumbling sound came down the wind,
and I knew she was corning. The traiu

raising my eyes, I saw the ea,dlight of

stove, for I was nearly frozen. Going
back about three hundred feet, we found
that one of the rails had got loose and
was out of place; but, as we had been
going slow, we had run over the spot
safely. Our conductor looked up, and
seeing me, said hurriedly:
"'Jim, get back and signal the pas-
senger tram. She will be along in a
short time now; and take this,' he said,
handing me a red-light lantern; we'll
go on. You—can come along on the
other train.'
"With that all hands got on board,
and soon there was nothing but myself
and the lantern left. 1 A cold gust
brought me to myself with a quick turn,
and then I remembered what I had to
do. Holding the lantern up, I saw the
light flickering, and shaking found it
almost empty.
"Then I began to feel the responsi-
bility of my position. A lamp without
oil in it, the train due in ten minutes,

ple killed or wounded. .In a case of
this kind, sir, every brakeman will do
his hest to save humanlife, although he.
sometimes loses his own in the attempt,
and all he gets for it is having his name
mentioned in the paper as being a
brave fellow.
"Quicker than I tell it, I made up my
mind that the train must bc signalled,
lamp or no lamp. But how to do it was
, the queation. If I ran ahead without a
light, the engineer might think I want-
ed to,. stop the train for robbery—for
such things have often been done, you
know—aud would not only dash right
on faster than ever, but, maybe try to
scald me as the locomotive passed by.
“I tell you I felt like praying just
then, but brakemen are not selected for
their religious feelings, sol didn't pray
mueh, but looked around and saw a
light shining in a windowsome distance

on the track, made a be line for the

Woul iI 't Have Him for a Pall
- Bearer:
la,ome ime ago a citizen of a Western
town w very ill. He fell into a stu-
por whi h lasted three or four days.
He was arefully watched by his wife
and one or two ladies from the neigh-
borhood. One afternoon the attending
physicia . said he could not live through
the day,,and the sorrowing wife, with a
view to having everything in readiness
for the end held consultation with her
friends la,s to the arrangements for the
funeral r The conversation was held at
the be ide of the dying man, and in a
short t e all the , details were ar-
ranged xcept the naines of those who
thould e asked to be pall bearers.
Three + four young .gentlemen had
ben s lected' when the wife said, in a,
sobbin tone suitable to the occasion,
"How Would Mr. So-b,nd-so do ?" "Oh,
;
he wou do nicely," echoed the chorus
of friends. "He's suCh a nice young
man." There was a ,sudden movement
under tie Coverines df the bed, and the
dying hnsband slowly raised himself o11
one elb w, rubbed his eyes, and said. in
a weak voice: "No, he won't do. I
ain't go ng to have that fellow for one
of my pall bearers." The ladies were
astonis ed at this revival of the sick
man, b t the wife laid him back gently
on the, pillows, and said soothingly:
Never hiiiid, dear, don't worry. This
is a matter that need not trouble you.
It is a ad duty which we will have to
perforna after you are gone." "No it
isn't,", Said the huslmi,nd crossly. "That
fellow 'an't going to be one of my pall
bearers. I don't like him, and I never
did ; ai d if you are doing to have him
I'll get well, see if I don't." Again he
fell bac in bed and became uncon-
scious, Ibut in a few hours there came a
o'hango1 for the better. To -day he
walks fhe streets as hale and hearty as
any man.
The Groc.6r's Joke.
A grocer who had a little time to
study human nature' wrote a note to
several parties selected for the occasion,
to the effect that he had lost his ac-
count books, and Must depend upon
their honor to call ad give in the bal-
ance aeainst them. One of them re-
plied that he presunied he owed three
or four dollars, when the books showed
that he owed twenty-eight dollars ; an-
other thought there inight be a possible
balance against Min, though he had
beeis very,careful to pay cash down,
and yet his account was fourteen dol-
lars and over. Out bf twelve or four-
teen customers, the, grocer, found one
who replied that he bwed three . dollars
and eighty cents, being fifty cents too
much. 1 He then wrote. to each that he
had found his books, and sent state-
ment of account, and as they dropped
into the store, one at a time, each
laughed, shook hands, and remarked,
"I knew it was one of your jokes, of
course, and so I thought I'd give you a
chance to play it clear through."

The Middy and the Lady.
A well merited repartee was dealt by
a smart midshipman to the daughter of
a K. C. B., at 'a ball given by the latter
to the,ns,val officers on the North Pa-
cific station. The, middy was bold
enough to ask the young lady to accept
him for her partneri "Oh, dear, no,"
said the supercilious beauty. "Ma
never allows me to dance with mid-
shipmen I" Somebedy let her know
the middy was a lord, and she repent-
ed, and by -and -bye reminded him he
was engaged to her for the net dance.
The youngster, however, was not so
easily to be mollified, and, remembering
the lady had native blood in her veins,
smilingly replied, "Oh, dear, no. Ma
never allows me to dance with squaws."
—Chambers' Journal.
Proving the Likness.
There lived in Brussels a 'celebrated
painter named Wiertz, w ose eccentri-
cities were such as to give him the
name of the crazy artist. That there
was method in his madne, s, the follow-
ing anecdote shows: Aft r having. fin-
ished a portrait of the ol aristocratic
Countess de Arnos, who p etended to be
only thirty, when nearly ixty, she re-
fused to accept the painting, saying it
did not look anything likEIlj herself, and
that her most intimate frie ds would not
recognize a single feature her on that
piece of canvass. Wiertz piled kindlY
at the remark, and, as a tie knight of
old, gallantly reconduotedI the lady t�
b.er carriage, Next morn g there was
a grand disturbance in Ithe Rue de
Madeline, A big crowd Was gathered
before a -window, and the llowing wag
whispered from ear to dir : "Is the
Countess de Arnos really iIi gaol for her
debts ?" Wiertz had exe ised a little
vengeance towards his no1e but unfair
customer. As soon as she had refuse
the portrait, he set to work and painte
a few iron bars on the fpicture, with
these words: "In gaol fof debt." He
exhibited the painting ii a jeweller'
avindow in the principal stfeet in Brus-
sels, and the effect was ijistantaneous.
A few hours later the ountess Wak
hack at Wiertz's studio, souring invee-
tives on, him at high press re—" to have
exhibited her likeness nndr such scan-
dalous "—&c. "Most no1e lady," waa
the artist's reply, "you sald the paint-
ing did not look and that your most in-
timate friends would not have rec4
nized a single one of youi features itt
the picture. I wanted to est the truth
of your statement, that , s all." The
portrait was taken away, t e city laugh-
ed, the artist charged dou le price, ani
gave the amount to the poor of the
city.
A Practical j 'ke.
Joe Skinner was once !the greatedt
joker in Oil City, and one, of his tricks
came near bringing on a iot one day.
Joe was walking along eneca street,
when suddenly he stoppe and began
poking in the mud. with hi cane, at the
same time allowing his o her hand to
slide over his shirt bosom as if in que't
of something which was there. His
• movements quickly attrabted a boot-
black, who rau up and asked:
"Lost- suthin', mister" and bega.4.1

Then came II • merchant and to

Do re WELL,—Never slight a job because it is
comparatively unimportant. Training the hand
and eye to do the work well, leads individuals to
form correct habits in other respects, and a good
workman is in most cases a good citizen. No one
need hope to rise above his present situation who
suffers small things to pass by unimproved, or
who neglects, metaphorically spealdng, to pick up
a cent because it is not a dollar. Some of the
wisest law makers, the best statesmen, the most
merciful judges, the most ingenious workmen rose
from the great mass. A rival to a certain lawyer
sought to humiliate him publicly by saying, "Yon
blacked ray father's boots once." 'Yes," said the
1.awyer, unabashed, "and 1. did it well." And by
his habit of doing even little thlugs well, he rose
to ereater. It is proper attention to health that
enables us to attend to business. By the timely
use of the Eetract of Wild Strawberry, you may
avert all disagreeable summer complaints, diarrheea,
dysentery, cholera morbus, etc., nothing is so
pleasant in its cure, so rapid, reliable; and effec-
tual, as Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry.
And the value of this medicine as an antidote in
sour stomach, colic, cramps, sea sickness, vomit-
ing, and other irritations of the stomach and
bowels is incalculable. It is safe antl sure, and
should be carried in the haversack of every travel-
ler a.nd tourist. • 1
