FARMER RKILL'S MEW PLEASURE
Farmer Brill had l**n a hard working,
industrious man, and now in hit later
years he was enjoying the fruit of his
veil directed toil; hut not iu the large
measure that might have been his if he
had known how to get the moat from his
possessions. The farmer had worked
narrowly all his life, and now he was try
ing to enjoy lninself narrowly, still
hoping to find pleasure in receiving in
stead of giving. He did feel leas kindly
toward his neighbors than he should
have felt, for he had never been so kind
and helpful toward them as he should
have been, and the consequence was
that a great deal of coldness and ill-will
lay between him and some of these
neighbors. The origin of this ill-will
oould be traced, in most instances, to
wm i denial of a service or favor asked
in by-gone time. Farmer Brill was a
stanch lieliever in tlie d< ctrine of self
help ; he asked no favors and gave none,
except grudgingly and with a bad grace.
And yet, hidden away down in his heart
and oovered over by selfishness and the
love of gain, was an element of kindness
that often stirred his nature and triad to
avert itself in action.
The farmer sat iu his shady porch one
lovely autuiun lay, trying to enjoy him
self. His fields had been reaped and his
barns held the treasons of golden grain
which the generous earth had given him.
All around him bent fruit laden branches,
and the air was musical with trees gather
ing honey fr hia hives. But, somehow,
he was iiot happy. A neighbor rode
past and bowed to him coldly.
•'Miserable fellow !" said the farmer
in bis heart. " I caut bear the tight of
him."
Another went by and the farmer turn
ed his head so that no sign of recognition
might pass 1 -tween them. Ha knew
this man to li in trouble, and lie never
cared to have anything to do with men
in difficulties ; they were apt to want
help or favors, and to be offended when
denied them.
Then the voice of a child called to him
from the r< >al; "Cu't I have soma ap
ples, Mr. Brill t"
"No, you can't!" growled the farmer.
"Off with you! I don't believe in beg
gars-"
The last sentence was spoken to him
self, half in excuse and half in repentance
for the seldaliueaa and ill-nature he had
betrayed.
Farmer Brill did not feel any more
oornfoi table after this. The frightened
look of the child as he added a threaten
ing gesture to his hard speech remained
with him and lie could not shut it from
his eyes, turn them which way he would.
Nor di 1 he see thetn less "distinctly when
he abut has eys an.l hung hia chin upon
his breast, just how long he had re
mained in this attitude the farmer could
not say, when a click from the latch on
the gate caused him to look up and he
saw a little woman in plain attire ad
vancing up the walk. She was a stranger
and yet there was something familiar
alsiut her. The freedom and plaint.ess
of 8)-cecli with which she at once ad
dressed him did not so much surprise as
shame the farmer.
"It was not well of thee, Friend
Brill, to deny with harsh words th re
quest of a child. Thy trees are laden
with f> nit and the ground iB covered
with thy unused abundance. Thee
might have given the child one little
apple."
Th woman stood with her calm, ac-
CUsing eyea tiled 011 the farmer's face ;
they H emed to penetrate bis soul and to
read his very thoughts.
" X •, it was not well of thee, Friend
Brill, ' she repeated.
"I liate hogging," answered the
farmer, rallying himself.
" That was not common begging and
thoe knows it." replied the stranger.
"The child's father should have had
fruit ou his own trees. But he was too
idle to plant them and now his children
go begging of liisneighbors."
" That is not bis children's fault. If
the poor little ones are hungry for apples
and thee has more than thee can use why
6ball thee not be a better father in re
gard for tliem than lie who is of their
own fi eh and blood ? Would thee not
give thy own children apples ?"
"My own children 1 That is another
thing. I have taken care of my own

"T'.e i arth is the Lord's and the full

thee han not nnderaUxxl tho way* of God
witli tnen."
The farmer did not reply. He wan
dtuub in tlie preeeuce of the stranger ;
dnmh tieoause of sudden oonvicti>oa
and anew light brvakiug into hia sml
that blinded and lw*wild red him.
" The., han thought and cared only for
thyself and for thy own until now." said
hi* visitor, " bnt there i* a truer and a
Iwtter life before thee. Thee must grow
broader and more get eroua. Tliee must
lieeim. a jpver mntead of only a receiver
of gixxl things. Thee must learu the
meauiug of that wise saying : •To give
in to live.' Will thee not go with me f"
And the little woman turned from the
porch, Farmer Lirill rising and following
her.
*' Thee must bring a banket of apple*
with thee,"said the woman, jausuig at
the gate.
The fanner filled a great banket and
Uvk it ou las arm.
"It is so kind of yon, sir!" said the
weary lookiug woman in whose poor lit
tie home he set down the baeket. And
her grateful looks and tones sent to hi.t
heart a feeling of warmth and pleasure,
purer and deej*er than he had known
for a long, long time.
"Thee understands, now," said his
companion, as they left the oottage,
" what a true, swoet life thee may live if
thee will. God has given thee of his
earthly Ixiutitie* more than a hundred
fold beyond tliy ueeds, and leisure to
ixire for thy neighbors, and health in
thy dixdiuing years. And vet thee is
uot happy. Wiiv f Thee is still trying
to liTe for thyself alone."
The words of the speaker died on
Fanner Brill's ears ; and at the same in
stant another voice roused him to an
other presence. It was that of his
wife.
" How sound asleep yon were. An
drew ' I don't like to liave you sleep so
heavily in the daytime. It isn't good."
The farmer started up with a bewil
dered air.
" Why, Andrew ! What ails you ?
What have yon been dreaming about i"
"Oh! It was a dream ! Ye*, 1 see.
Dreams are strange things."
And the farmer settled himself tsu-k
in his choir anil dropped his chin upou
his bosom, not to sleep again, for he wa*
very wide awake now, but to ponder ou
what lie had heard from the lips of the
monitor, who had come to him in a
vision.
As hi* wife went back into the house
Farmer Brill heard the sound of a horse's
feet in the road, and lookiug np saw one
of his neighbors a little way off. It was
now over tive years since he had denied
some trifling favor to this man, and
there had been coldness between them
ever since. At sight of him the farmer
had an uncomfortable feeling, and drop
ped his eyes, intending not to see him.
But this only made him feel tlie more
uncomfortable. Ho, with a self-corn
polling effort, he rose from his seat and,
walking out through the gate that open
ed upou the road, met his neighbor, say
ing in as cordial a tone as he ix>uld intro
duce into his voice: "Good morning,
Mr. Holden."
"Good morning, Mr. Brill," returned
the neighbor, a little surprised at this
nnnanal friendliness. He drew up Lis
horse, and leaning down took the farm
er's offered hand.
" How is Mrs. Holden f"
" Well, thank you 1 And how ia Mrs.
Briii r
" Hearty for one of her years."
" And jour own health f"
"Can't complain. A little stiff with
ought to lie thankful that my limbs are
Dot all twisted out of shape like poor
John Gardner's. By the way, how is
Gardner ?"
"Very badly off," replied the neigh
bor, with pity in his voice. " Has Dot
been able to do a day's work these two
months."
"Is that of Poor fellow!" Farmer
Brill droppxl his eye to the ground and
stood thinking. And then the words he
had heard in his dream begau repeating
themselves in his thoughts :
"He gives to some His broad grain
fields and fruitful orchards, tiiat they
may fill barns and storehouse and lay
up f'd for the hungry ami seed for the
sower, that His people die not for la--k
of bread. God has given thee of lli
earthly Ixmiitn-s more than a hundred
fold beyond thy own need, and leisure to
care for thy neighlor*, and health in thy
declining years. And yet thee is not
happy, for thee is still trying to live for
thyself alone."
" How does he live f" asked the fann
er, raising his eyee from the ground,
and looking up into his neighbor a face.
"His f.taidy woul Ih v- suffered in
many ways an 1 his children gone often
hungry to b<-d if some of us hail not
looked after him "
" I ha<l no idea it was so had," said
the farmer. " Hungry children! I
can't stand that. 1 must go an 1 see
him."
"I wiib you would. It's a real case
of charity.
"I*ll go right off." said the farmer,
turning away and going back into the
house.
" I wonder what's come over the old
man ?" So the neighlmr mused as he
rode away. Hope he is not going to
die. I always thought he hail a Under
place somewhere in his heart if one only
knew how to find it. He was a right
generous sort of a fellow when a y<>nug
man, but he was thrifty, and thrift
seemed to harden him."
Half an hour afterward Farmer Brill
drove off in his light wagon. There was
a marvelous change in the expression of
his fine old five. His eyes Lid a new
luster in them, and the kindlier temper
of his Idood was softening and warming
all the hard lines that' had compressed
i hemselvea about his mouth and cut
down rigidly lictworu hi-i brows, giving
ibem a nobler and deeper human nenti
incut. Iu his wagon wns a bag of Hour,
a bushel of potatoes, aside of bacon and
twenty pounds of salt pork, besides corn
meal and apples.
When Farm, r Brill returned his b.-art
was so light that it gave a new buoyancy
to his body, and m -U ad of moping about
or sitting iialf-stnpidly in his arm-chair
be went bustling m and out in a cheery
way, wud tolsed to hiswifeof this neigh
bor and th it with a Kindly interest alto
gcther new.
" It is more blessed to give, sometimes,
than receive," said Mrs. Brill to her
husband, as he told her, with a new qual
ity of pleasure in his voice, aliont his
visit to Mr. Gardner ami his family.
"It may be always," he answered, to
her surprise. "ft must lie," be added,
after a hesitating pause, "if our Savior's
words are true, for He puts in no qualify
ing ' sometimes.' "
The old man sat very still, with a
sober, in looking expression on his face.
" He knew best, Andrew ; but very
few of us live as if we thought He did.
The farmer's sleep was not HO sound
that night as usual ; thought was too
busy. Not that he was troubled, for
the pleasure that came with ministering
to liis stricken neighbor had gone too
deep and filled his heart too largely to
leave room for trouble. He was thinking
out of himself—a rnre experience for
Farmer Brill ; thinking of some of his
neighbors, aud how he might serve them
at little cost to bis hoarded substance.
It was too early in the new state upon
which he had really entered to count
much cost against himself.
THE CENTRE REPORTER.
Tho farmer roo on the next morning
fooling like a new man. The rest and
comfort of ruuul which hml come an the
reward of kiudnena to John Gardner still
remained. Good will to other* ia rarely
*ati*tl(xl with a single service. It wan ao in
thin cane. The family of hi* sick and help
lew neighbor had other ueed* than that
of fixxt. He had seen the half clad
children and the wife'n worn and scant*
clothing, and the picture remained with
him.
" Can't you send Mrs. Gardner an
old dree* or two!" said Mr. Krill to his
wife an they sat at the breakfast table,
j " She needs Iheui limlly. If you'll make
; up a bundle of tilings for her and the
children I'll hitch up and take them over
You'll know what they wank"
Mrs. lirill was not the woman to nay
j"No" to a suggestion like this. She
soon had a bundle of clothing ready for
her husband, and off he went again ou
1 his errand of mercy with a glee and
' warmth in his bosom that sent a feeling
of delight along every nerve. How cor
dial were all the greetings he gave to
I tanning neighbor* ! He forgot old
grudges and coldnesses, and drew up
hin horse more than once to liave a chat
with the individuals whom he h*d passed
the day before with only an indifferent
nod.
He sat for ovrr an hoar with John
Gardner, talking about old tunes—both
had grown up in the noighbarbood— ami
learned many things he might have
learned lief ore that interested him deep
lv about the life of the poor man, and
tliat aroused his sympathies.
"Don't get down-hearted," were his
parting words, at the close of his visit.
" We'll see that you're taken care of
until the doctor drives out your old
malady."
The grateful looks and tones in which
the man expressed his thankfulness lived
with the farmer as pleasant memories
; long afterwaid.
" Thomas," said Mr. Hrili to his hires!
mail, on returning home, " take a bushel
basket out into the orchard and fill it
with the largest and soundest apples that
have falleu from the trees, "
" Ye*, air. And what shall I do with
them I"
" Bring them here, and I'll tell yon."
" Here they are, sir," said the "ktnxl
man. ten minutes afterward.
"Very well. Now carry them dowu
to Widow Sloan, and give her my com
pliments, and say to her that if sin
wishes to pare and dry a lot for winter
she can have as many as she wants."
Thomas opened his eves a little wider j
than usual, and with a "Tliank'ee, sir,"
as if he were the one who had IWO> ived j
a favor, swung the Imskwt b> his shoulder ,
and wont off with a springy step, in
marked contrast with his orduiary slow,
heavy movement.
The unexpected promptness ami j
cheerfttlui ss with which lua hire<l man
seconded this thoughtful kiuduen* toward
the widow was another element of satis
faction. Thnuias was apt to lie a littii
cross at times, and esjv cially when called
npon, for some unusual servior; and Mr. ,
Bnll had looked for a cloudy face and a
sullen manner when he gave his order, i
He gazxi after the man as be went hur
rying away, wondering at his changed
demeanor. He was still sitting in the
porch when Thomas returnd.
" Well, Thomas, and wliat did Mrs.
Rloau sayf"
"Gh, sir, I oan't tell yon bow snr
prised and happy she was; tuid she told
me to tliarik you a thousand times."
" Will she jaro and dry tliem for win

" Indeed and she will, air. She sat
right down and wont to work while I
was there, and says she'll have 'cm all

you, air. It'a such a pity to have things

the cold, hard exterior of hia life and
making it attractive and beautiful.

The complications anrroiuiding the
('ooahonta* mine, Colorado, situated at
' Itosita, not far from Canon City, have
finally resulted in a tierce and fatal Ooti
tiict, by which one life has been sacri
1 flood, if not more. The man killed was
the notorious Major Graham, who was
well known in l>enver as one of the
most dangerous of daring desjieradoe*.
The major was a native of New York,
and in the early part of the war become
ixwspicuoun as a partisan ouiuiuauder of
the Union forces in North OArolma. He
was a jierfect athlete, a splendid horse
-1 man, an accurate shot, and as daring
and unscrupulous as any man who ever
drew a aalxtr. For his services he was
appointed, at the doao of tlie war, a tirnt
lieutenant in tlie regular army, and as-
Higucvl to duty in the West, liy the Mir
vices he rendered against the Indians,
aided by more or less political influence,
Lieut, (Irxlioin soon lieoawc a full blown
major, and as such became a special fa
vorite at Fort Leavenworth and in the
city of that name. While at this post he
jtaid hia addresses t one of the most ut
truotive ladies of Leavenworth, and it
was only by accident that the marriage
was not consummated.
The night previous to the day on
which the ceremony was to take place,
the cotniiiauduig otti x<r at Fort Leaven
worth received direct instructions from
the wat department to place Major Gra
ham in irons, and keep him in solitary
oontincment till further orders. Al
though the order created an immense
surprise at the fort, it was literally obey
ed, and Major Graham found himself in
a felon's cell, instead of occupying, as
he had hoped, a bridal couch. A court
martial, however, subsequently explain
ed what seemed at the tune to be inex
plicable. The evidence before the court
established tlie fact that Major Graham,
while wearing the uniform of a United
States otfio-r. had lax-n the secret head '
of a tiand of home thieves ill Kansas;
hsd also, while in Utah. Ix-en in league
with the lowest class of gambler* and
thieves; and that he had systematically
stolen and sold horses fruui the stali]<<
of the government. The eonrt martial
sentenced the major to be dishonorably
dismissed from the service, to le de
lirr*-d from ever holding any office of
honor or trust under the government,
and to nerve a Urm of U-u yearn in a mill
tarv prison. Through some unknown
iuflncoo* tlii* sentence *** indorsed
only no far an it related to the di*uiuMal
of the major from the service.
A* soon mk sin jx>s*e**i on of a
qualified freedom, the major started for
Denver, and hew became, as of yore,
the anatM-iatc of evil and dangerous
classes. Ilia find attempt at public
rohliery was made on Paymaster Brooks,
at lUver Bond. For this offense he wa*
trim! and sentenced to two your* in the
penitentiary. Before his term expired
he organized an cecal**, which proved
partially soceessfnl. We say partial,
because be anil hi* associate* make g**>d
their escape, but they were all subne
queutly captured, one of them being
killed, and tlie major himself severely
wi mudeil. He served out the rest of
hia term, and, when released, went to
Itasita, where he opened aw hisky den.
It was ben> thai he arranged, with
othi rs, the "jus HUg " of the Poca
hontas mine. T e "jumpers" t*ok
poorx-asion of tlie > tine and held it until
all tlie miners in be neigbliorhood re
solved on clearing the mine of it- fraudu
lent possessors. This was done by a
desperate fight, the "junqwr*" that
Were not killed beiug obliged to fly.
The maj ir w-i* mu,;ht on las w.y to
Rosila. On being halted, he turned to
run, but fell dead in lua track*. pierced
by some twenty five ball*. Graham's
partner, a man named Boyd, was
arrested shortly afterward, ard w*
hung.
Pare of the Eye*.
Disease* of the eyes are very prevalent,
owing to the abitse* t > which they are
subjected ; and as weak ey<* can mv. r
lie handsome or phasing. w deaire to
give our readers a few hints upon pre
serving their strength. It ts very m
jurioa* to ait direetly in fr<<nt of aw in
dow, or to use a desk or table so situated,
that vu are brought in such a position ;
for the rays of light strike direetly upon
tho pupil of the aye, and cause an un
natural and forced contraction of them,
which will *<s-ii injure the sight perma
nently. Place your cliair near the win
dow while writing, reading or working,
and sit in such a manner that your eyes
turn from and not toward the light, and
let it strike on your left hand, leaving
the right luind furthest from it; or else
liave the window at your lme.k or above
you, ami then the light will illuminate
the |<a|ww or work, audwrill not aliine too
abruptly Upon the eyeball. Many young
persons have dearly ruined their sight by
not att* nding to these simple directions.
Another thing needful is, never read
when twilight approacbea—aa soon as
tlie light fades put away all work. This
is all-important ; drawing nearer the
light to read "just one page more," or
take "just a few more stitches," lias
proved of the greatest iujury to thousands
of our lx>y* and girls. When the eyes
are washed, as they ahonld be, iu warm
water every night and motniug, wij>o
theui with a soft towel, gently nibbing
them toward the nose. Do not nib them
toward the tempi**, as it injur** their
delicate construction. The mechanism
of the eye is of the most complicated and

A Terrible Lynching Affair.
The lynching of two brothers, Amos
and IsaiAh Ooortwright, near Milwaukee,
Wiaoousin, was mi unusually horrible
event of its kind. They were old men,
and had la-en arrested for the wanton
murder of a woman. Expecting a visit
by a limb, they had through friends
armed themselves with knives and pis
tols, and barricaded their cell door.
Only one slept nt a time, the other re
maining on the alert. 'Die masked
lyncher* were so sudden in their attack,
however, that the plan of defense could
not la* executed. Isaiah, who was on
watch, tried to shoot, but was knocked
down, pounded, and stamped nntil lie
was insensible. Amos realized the
futility of resistance then, and tried to
soften his cuptora with prayers for
mercy. They were tied behind a wagon
when Isaiah had revived enflleicntly to
lie able to walk, and the party started
for the place selected for the hang
ing. On the way Isaiah sud
denly drew a knife, cut tho rope that
ltouiul him, stabbed one of the mob
fatally, and des)>erately endeavored to
get away ; bnt he was soon overpowered,
lieaten until he was covered willi blood,
and then barbarously tnrtured to death.
A rope was noosed around hi* head ami
fastened to the wagon, ami his body
dragged along the stony road. He wan
dead before the place of the hanging was
reached. Amos continued his snpplioa
| tions and protestations of innccenoe uu
-1 til the rope choked off his utteranoe,

Hamuli's clothes iu one hand, led him,

touched the buck of his head, brought
it forward with most h-rrific force until
it came in contact with tlie Chinaman's
person. He then went into the houac,

act, with the remark: "1 guess you

He then sat him down to peruse the

In tlie far West they have some funny

these, and the first cose ha bail to try
WM that of a man who boil stolen a
t mule. The proof was conclusive slid
the prisoner was sentenced to a year in
prison, the court ouucludiltg the sen
tence as follows:
"An* now, Zim, seein'as I'm about
out of things to est, an' as yon will have
the coat to pay, 1 reckon you'd better
take a turn among tho foot-hills with

start for tlie Big (lanyon before mora
in.'" Which marketing duty was per
formed by Zim bringing in one black
toil fawn and a rabbit within the tune
proscribed as a postscript to the sen
tenon. On the following morning the
.v instable, mounted with hia broncho,
acooin|MUiied by the prisoner astride of
the mule, started through the mountains
for the penitentiary, where they arrived
the second day out, their animate loaded
with a deer, two suteloiie and a small
cinnamon lieor, which tliey sold to the
warden of the priaon. After dividing
the money, the constable proceeded to
hand over Zimn tin the following rniUi

may lie seen in the j*scMuon of the

it was all the male the Elder had, and 1
sentenced Zim officially to one year in

seein as Zim once stood by me like a S

A Russian Halt Mine.
Hon. E. I). Helton, in a 1* Iter to the
Errning H r *#coi**tn from Kunsia, de
scribee a visit to the great salt miue
worked bv the government them. He
sava: It is a vast mine of solid rock
*alt It was discovered as early as the
thirteenth century, and has L*en worked
ever since. The mining is done by the
government, which mouopoliaes the
trade in salt. The excavations extend
some two miles from east to weet, and
nearly one mile from north to south.and
their greatest depth reaches seventeen
hundred feet and upwards. I counted
tlie steps faithfully, but I soon found
that they did not at all measure the
deptli, for we traveled long distances
upon descending rood*, carrying us even
further down than the stairs did. The
annual product of these salt mine*
reach fifty thousand toua. The mine is
one solid'mas* of pure rock salt. There
MK>UI to be no impurities in it, and, if I
have get * correct idea, the salt goes di
rectly from the mines into the marts of
commerce for use. Extensive railway
tracks are used deep down in these cav
ern*. Die number of men employed in
the mine* is al>out one thousand. The
mines am dry and healthy, and the
workmen are an intelligent set of men.
In pursuing the work of mining hem
liodies of the rook have been found
purer and lietter in some places than
others. And in these better places the
miner has pursued his work, widening
and heightening, or rather deepening
his pit, just as long as safety would per
mit. The result is that some immense
cavern* have Ixx-n made. I should think
some of these into which we came wem
a hundred feet in height, and Longer and
wider than tlie height, the immense
vault standing as a single arch. These
ceilings and arches have in some in
stance* evidently been hewn, and left
symmetrical. But beyond all this, some
body, at some time, has begun carving
and excavating solid rook crystal into
pillar* of statues, aud into galleries with
Corinthian columns, so that a large num
ber of these vast, as well as the smaller,
caverns have been extensively orna
mented by the elaborate earring of the
rock into all, and varied, beautiful archi
tectural form. In one place is a full
sixed chapel, all excavated and cut from
the solid rook of salt Wet your finger
and draw it down thatahining altar-piece,
on that bust of a saint, or that pilaster,
and touch it to your tongue, and you
see it is salt.

A KEW YORK TRAGEDY.
A Uw.l si Tfcre. Tsess la a r*Ulas Maaa.
as* N.l* ( WIMUUU KUlr*.
A strange dnei took pLaoa in New
York city. by wbieb train oontoatauto
were killed. The story of the sad affair
mad* like one of the effusions of the uov
elist. It ap)Msara from the testimony of
the woman in whose bouse the duel took
place that Jcrralov came to this country
from Warsaw, Poland, about two year*
ago, with s few hundred dollars, and
soon after become acquainted with Jo
seph Goldman, who had at that time
lawn in New York four or five yean, and
who was a native of a town about four
mile* from Warsaw. Jerroiov took a
fancy to Goldman, who was entirely
without capital, and proposed that the
two nhould embark in a manufacturing
jewelry bustnees, Goldman to solicit or
der* and J erector to do the inside work.
Gold men eagerly aoawptefi the offer.
They prospered in their basin***, whieb
incruasuj quite rapidly, and before a
year was ended they found it qeowaaary
to secure the serviot* of <4x workmen.
Goldman had entire charge of the mone
tary department of the firbi and spent
the earning* almost as fast a* they vrete
made, except what Jereslov used for hi*
expenses, while the latter was under the
belief that the firm bad a comfortable
balance in the bank.
About three month* ago another immi
grant, a friend of JereajoVa, named
Jochlein, arrived in New York with
SI,OOO in cash, and he wgs permitted,
upon his own request, to t*eoaa s part-1
nrr in the bonuses. The uprudliinfl
Goldman weds swsy with Juohlein's
SI,OOO very soon, and the latter discover
ing thia, made the fact known to Jare
alov, who, upon becoming aware of Gold
man's true character, refused to have
anything more to do with him, and in
sisted upon his withdrawal from the
firm. Goldman tried by aarnest appeals
to induos Jereslov to sher ,hia decision,
urging that he waa entuelj without
money, and probably could not obtain a
situation anywhere. Jereslov, who was
a very kind hearted man, was undecided
for s week or so, but finally made up his
mind that the partnership au?t be dis
solved, and so expressed himself to
Goldman, and the dissolution took
place. Jtsrealov, by selling everything
that be could spare, and tsr hard work,
managed to scrape together enough to
pay lick to Jocmlein the SI,OOO which
l.- had invested in the bnsicess, and
Jochleu soon after returned to the old
oountry. Ono afternoon (luidman pre
sented himself at Jerealows room*, in
Essex street, and asked of Mrs. Hnimami
if his former partner was at home, and

Boxing the Ears.
There are several things very
Dimly done which are extremely injuri
ous to the ear, and ought to be carefully
avoided. One of these is the practice of
boxing chil Iron's est*. It is known that
the passage of the ear is closed by s thin
membrane, especially adapted to he in
fluenced by every impulse of the air,and
with nothing but the air to support it
internally.- What, thou, can be onore
likely to injure this membrane than a
sudden and forcible compression of the
air iu front of it t If any one designed
to break or overstretch the membrane, a
more efficient means could scarcely be
devised tban to bring the hand suddenly
and forcibly down upon the passage of
the ear, thus driving the air violently
before it, with no possibility of its es
cape bat by the membrane giving way.
Medical authorities assert that many
children are in this way made deaf by
boxing on the ear.
