Give him a trial by all means. I-4t —lt is always well to say something fayorable about a person instead of joining with a crowd in maligning him, because numerous enemies often show that there must be much good in the person abused.

A number of children who had been down with a mild form of scarlet rash are all on the way of recovery' as far as we liaye learned. A good question for debating clubs just now would be : Which is tlie most pleasant season of the year, win ter or summer? Guess a majority would be on the summer side, tie 4 way old winter lias handled himself t lie past few weeks. But then exery sea son Ims its charms, its advantages and disadvantages and it seems to be the disposition of us naughty mortals nev er to be entirely satisfied with matters as a benevolent Providence arranges them in this imperfect state of our be ing. —Mr. John 11.

Mrs. Mowry was sick for some weeks, but when we saw her, a bout a week before her demise, she did not seem so near the gates of death. Mrs. Ulrich was in feeble health for some weeks. She bore her affliction with resignation and christian forti tude. Thus they go one after another, the fathers, the mothers, and we, who are younger move on to take their places. But our time is coming too when we will be called. Do we sometimes think of it ? Chips from Madisonburg*. The topic for conversation at present is, convention.

The tramp is improving in his pro fession. Their latest racket to obtain a ptpnire meal is as follows : He calls at the residence of a preacher and en gages the minister to do some marry ing for a sister. He has come some distance and is quite hungry and would like the preacher to give him some sup per. The minister, calculating upon a good matrimonial fee for the next day, dines him. The preacher goes out the day next to attend to the matrimonial business and finds out that lie has leen humbugged and likewise made a fool of. A few weeks ago, Mr. Villard, the President of the North Pacific Railroad and two or three other great companies, was regarded as one of the successful millionairs of the country, lie has re signed the Presidency of all the com panies, and it is said that he is financi ally ruined, having sunk his entire pri vate fortune in his effort to support the Northern Pacific stock.

We are now the third country in the world for aggregate beer drinking. Germany leads with a production of 1, 041,278,000 gallons, England follows with 096,985.000, and we come next, a bad or good third, with 376,775,000 The per capita thirst of our people is, however, small as compared with that of several countries. In Germany the consumption per head is 134.40 quarts a year, or, as there are four or five glass es in a quart, about two glasses a day for every man woman and child in the country. The rate for Belgium, how ever, is even higher, the consumption there being 163.25 quarts i>er head. Eng land is tliird, with a rate of 125.10, and then there is a drop to 63.60, in Denmark. Ourayerge consumption is only 20.15 quarts per year. PFTERSON'S MAGAZINE for Febru ary opens with one of the most char, ming steel-engravings we have ever seen, called:"Two Little Customers." Besides this, however, are several other beautiful embellishments, among them a splendid colored pattern. There is also another engraving—"Homeless and blind"—illustrating a pathetic lit tle story. The double-sized colored fashion-plate—a speciality of this mag azine— is even more beautiful than us ual. As for the stories, though always good,they are this month unusually so. Mrs. Ann. S. Stephens continues "Iler Season In Washington," a novelet that promises to be the best she has ever written. There is also a powerful story called "Jule." Altogether this is a very superior number. We do not see how any lady can get along with out "Peterson." The terms are but Two DOLLARS a year. Great deduct ions are made for clubs, and elegant premiums given for getting up clubs. Now is the time to get up clubs for 1884. Specimens are sent gratis, if written for, to persons wishing to sub scribe or get up clubs.

A remarkable case of fowl fasting came to light on the premises of Solo mail Winder, tanner, at Emaus. It appears that some of his chickens were in the habit of laying their eggs in the open space under the pig pen, and that with a view of preventing this, because of the difficulty in getting at the nests, he boarded up thft space, so as to keep the fowls out. Six weeks afterward, while feeding his pig*, he thought he heard a chicken under the pen, and on opening tno pjacc out hobbled a rooster so weak that he was almost dead, hav ing been confined in his narrow cell without light, fuod or water for a month and a half. He was carefully nursed back to health, and now crows louder than any of the rest. An Old Couple Assaulted. NEW YORK, Jan.
