A SAD BTORY.
The Austin (Texas) Gazette narrates
the following melancholy incident of
the death of two children who had be
come lost in tho woods. They were
twins, a brother and sister, four years
old, named Dunbar, residing in Lime
stone county. The Gazette says:
The day was mild and pleasant, and
they had been playing between the
house and the spring not far distant,
where their mother was engaged in
some household duty. How the little
innocents were tempted into the for
est's depths is not known, but dark
ness came on, and the children were
missed and did not return. Thocoun
try is sparsely settled, and no neigh
bors could be called on to assist in the
search until morning. Then the alarm
was given, and numbers joined in the
vain effort to find some trace of the
lost ones. This was continued until
the evening of the third day (the
searchers then numbering nearly one
hundred), when they were discovered
in a thicket about two miles distant
from the house, lying side by side dead
They were the nephew and niece ol
Captain Cane, of Dallas, the Gover
nor's private secretary, and as he read
us a portion of a letter from his sister,
the unfortunate mother, which has sen
sibly affected us, and from which we
have gathered some of the additional
details of this melancholy affair, given
above. She mentions another fact,
which, simple as it is, touches our heart
to the core. The shoes and stockings
of the little darlings had been taken off
and were found near them. The ex
planation of this to our mind is plain
When night came on there was asud
den change in the weather peculiar to
this region, called a wet norther. The
effect of the cold on the human system
is well known. The children became
more drowsy as tho piercing wind
chilled through their tender bodies,
until they could resist the influence no
longer, and then, in a half unconscious
state, thinking they were at home,
they pulled off their shoes and stock
ings, and, as it seemed to them, went
to bod. And so, locked in each other's
arms, they fell asleep to awake in
heaven.
Sing Away lour Grief.
We can sing away our cares easier
than we can reason them away. Sing
in the morning. The birds are the
earliest to sing; the birds are more
without care than anything else that 1
know of. Sing at the evening Sing
ing is the last thing that robins do.—
"When they have done their daily work;
when they have flown their last flight
and picked up their last morsel of food,
and cleansed their bill on a napkin of
a bough, then on a topmost twig, they
sing one song of praise. 1 know they
sleep sweeter for it. They dream mu
sic; for sometimes in the night they
break forth in singing, and stop sud
denly after the first note, startled bv
their own voice Oh that we might
sing evening and morning, and let song
touch song all the way through.
As I was returning from the coun
try the other evening, between six and
seven o'clock, bearing a basket of flow
ers, I met a man that was apparently
the tender of a mason. Ho looked
brick and mortar all over! He had
worked the entire day, and he had the
appearance of a man that would not be
afraid of work. He was walking with
a lithe step, and singing to himself as
he passed down the street, though he
had been working the whole day, and
nearly the week. Were it not that my
good thoughts always come too late, 1
should have given him a large allot
ment of my flowers. If he had not
been out of sight when the idea occur
red to me, I should have hailed him
and said, ' Have you worked ali day ?'
' Of course 1 have,' he would have said
'And are you singing?' 'Of course i
am.' ' Then take these flowers home
and give them to your wife, and tell
her what a blessing she has in you.'
O that we could put songs under our
burdens. O that we could extract'the
sense of sorrow by song! Then thesi
things would not poison so much
fSing in tho house. Teach your ehil
dren to sing. When troubles come, go
at them witii songs. When griefs rise
sing them down. Lift the voice of song
against cares. Praise God by singing:
that will lift you above trials of every
kind. Attempt it. They sing in heav
en ; and among God's people upon
earth, song is the appropriate language
of Christian feeling.— Beecher.
One of her 1 Sicine.' —My sweet 'sprig
of geranium' has a fashion, when speak
ing of her beaux during their absence,
of styling them 1 my swains.'
Her pa heard her speak thus.
1 went to see Jennie one evening,
and was met at the door by the 'old man.'
After the customary ' How do you
do,' and comment on the weather, he
blurted out:
' I suppose you want to see Jennie?'
I nodded affirmatively.
He then called her: and irom up
stairs over the balusters, in sweetest
accents she replied.
' What do you want, pa?'
' Come down at once, daughter, here's
one of your swine.'
Imagine my sensations, amidst her
ringing laughter, after the old boy's
exit.
A lady trampled on a dog's tail
at Omaha, the other day, and the ani
mal bit her leg. The blood did not
flow even; only aw-dust flew. He did
not go deep enough for blood. Thisj
is the most useful purpose we have
ever heard of a false calf serving.
Sharp.— Said one student to another,
whom he caught swinging a scythe
most lustily in a field of stout grass,'
'Frank, what makes }'Ou work for a
living ? A fellow with your talent and
abilities should not ho caught engaged
kin hard labor. I mean to get my liv
ing by my wits.' ' Well, Bill, you can
Ibork with duller tools than I can,' was;
lie reply. j
Fields of Grain Destroyed by-
Pigeons.
The farmers of many of the western
counties are much troubled with pi
geons; in fact, these hordes have be
come a perfect scourge. Vast flocks
have made their appearance, the air
in many places being literally darken
ed, and having migrated a long dis
lance from the South, they are very
voracious These flocks alight upon
; the fields of new sown grain, and, rol
; ling over and over like the waves of
the sea, pick up every kernel of grain
iin sight. It is impossible to drive them
away; they arc unmindful of the firing
of gutis, throwing of stones, shouting
of men, or barking of dogs; and it is
an easy task to kill any number of
them with a pole. One farmer, resid
ing two miles ea-t of Independence,
bad sown tnreo acres of wheat, and
was preparing to harrow it in, when
tie pigeons made the r appearance,
and gob! led up every kernel before lie
could get it covered. Some fields con
taining forty acres were absolutely
covered with pigeons, and although
the sportsmen waged an incessant war
fare against them and killed great num
jbers, their places were soon supplied
• itii others Hunting pigeons has lost
the (harm of novelty, and tho main
question is how to save grain With
ihe present high price of seed wheat,
and its scarcity, this becomes a ques
lion of serious consideration. A great
number of fields will have to be sowed
ia second lime, and we hear of some
farmers who are doing it a third time,
from all accounts, the main depreda
tions of the feathered scourge appear
• ed to be confined to the region of coun
try bordering the Wapsipinieo, as but
: comparatively little d image is report
ed along the Cedar river.— From the
Dubuque Herald, Mat/ 2.
Lurid. —A Dutchman being asked
how far it was to the next town, said :

Bs3>„An Irish lad having been asked
if the man who had last flogged him
was his own father, replied : ' Vis,sure
|he is the parent iv me; but he trates
rue as if I was his son by another
father and mother, bud luck to hi in.'
A Virginia negro, according to
an exchange, on hearing that Congress
was going to give lands to the darkies,
said : Land de debhil ! I's free now,
and don't want no land. I's gvvine to
git wurms and go tishin.'
feir Dr. llall recommends, byway
of prevention against taking cold, that
persons going out of a heated room
keep their mouths shut. The caution
may be very wise and judicious, but
what are the ladies to do.
There L an old story that a Jew
while indulging in a morsel ot forbid
den food, (pork.) was overtaken bv a
terrific thunder storm, and that, as the
thunder roared and the lightning flash
ed around, he exclaimed :
' I'lesli ray soul, vot a pother apout

Wendell Phillips lectured the
other night in Brooklyn. He called
Wilson a trimmer; Grecly an ass , Sew

charged Grant with the New Orleans

ment. Oh, Wendell!
A good story is told of a hard
shell Baptist missionary in Medina,
who became mixed up in land specu

that the text would be found in St.
Paul's epistle to the Minnesotians, sec
tion 4, range J west.
A negro preacher was holding
forth to his congregation upon the sub
ject of obeying the commands of God.
Say s he : ' Bredren. whatever God tells

in it dat I mu-t jump throo a stone

' Well, then, pa, you ought to whip

mamma right in tlie mouth, and I know
it htyt, because she put her arms
around his neck and tried to choke

May I he married, ma?' asked a
young Miss of sixteen.
' What do you want to get married
for?' inquired Iter mother.
' Why, ma, you know the children
have never seen any one married, and
1 thought it might please them a little
—that's all.'
'Nonsense!—you can't tool mo,' re
marked the old lady, with a significant
shake ol the head.
tftgT'And you have been married,
Patrick, throe times, havn't you !'
' Yes, indade, sir.'
' And what do you say of it? Which
wife did you like best ?'
' Well, Beccy O'Brine, that I mar
ried the first time, was a good woman
—too good for me; so she got sick and
died, and the Lord took her. Then I
got married to Bridget FJannegan.—
She was a bad woman; and she got
sick and died too—and the devil took

Two VALUABLE
Machine Stitches:
i/B mm & mib
ELASTIC STITCH
AND THE
SHUTTLE OR LOCK STITCH.
THE Grover A Baker Elastic-Stitch Sewing Machines
art- superior to all others for the following reasons:
1. i'hey sew direct from the spools, and require no
rewinding of thread.
2. Tin y are more easily understood and used, and
less liable to derangement than other machines.
3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without
change of adju>unent,a much greater variety of work
than other machines.
4. 1 lie stitch made by these machines is much more
firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles
which require to be washed and ironed, than any
other stitch.
5. 'I his stitch, owing to the manner in which the
under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump
and beautiful in use, and retains this plumpness and
beauty even upon articles frequently washed and
ironed until they are worn out.
6. i he structure of the seam is such that though it
he cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it
will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and
durable.
♦ I nlike other machines, these fasten both ends of
the seam by their own operation.
8. \\ ith these machines, white silk is used upon the
right or fa e side of the seam, cotton may be used
upon the other side without lessening the strength or
durability ot the seam. This can be done on noothei
machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitch
ed or made up with silk.
9. These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change ot ad
justment, easily learned and practiced, execute the
most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna
mental work.
