When I was a boy we lived in the
couutry, where I think all boys ought
to live for a few years, and we didn't get
coddled as you youngsters do, nor have
so innny things to play, nor such
schools, and books, and other helps to
learuing and fun, as you have. But we
had plenty of good times in coasting,
skating, riding, fishing, hunting and
trapping. And in the spring we al
ways had a special " lark " when they
made maple sugar.
Father used to let us go to the woods
with tha men when we were quite little
shavers, and we would bring dry brash
for the fire, and watch the big kettle
when the sap was boiling ; so as to call
the men or throw in a piece of pork, or
some cold s ip, to keep it from boiling
over. I can almost smell the sweet
steam now, and see the little pieces of
pork hobbling around in the kettle, and
remember how my eyes watered when
the smoke blew in them, and how good
the first taste of the sugar was when
they began to cool it on the snow to see
if it was done.
But the "sugaring off" was Iho
greatest fun. Whan the sap was boiled
down into clear, sweet sirup, they would
put four or five pailfuls in the kettle
and cook it slowly and carefully till it
was done enough to " cake " into sugar.
And then we would was some on enow,
and stir some in saucers until it cooled,
and eat it warm and cold until we
couldn't hold any more and a long
while after father wondered how we
Ciuld hold so much.
Well, one time, when we were about
twelve or fourteen years old, we thought
the sugar would taste much sweeter if
we could get it iu some sly and mibchie
vous way. That's the way with foolish
boys and men in other things. Stolen
sweets make half the trouble of the
world. And so we went around to half
a dozen of the neighbors' boys, asking
them to a 6ugar bee in our woods the
next night, but telling them not to let
anybody know it. We knew there was
a churu full and two big jugs of sirup
waiting to be "sugared off" down in
our busli, and we thought we'd steal a
march on the men, and show 'em a trick
or two. So, after the chores were done,
we asked mother if we could go and Bee
the boys, and she said yes, if we would
be back by nine o'clock.
We " saw " the boys, but it was in
the lane leading to the woods, where
they were waiting, whist as mice. It
was growing dark fast, and we cut for
the woods as fast as we could go.
There was a big bed of coals snugly
oovered with ashe, and we soon had it
raked out, put new wood on, and made
a blazing fire. Then we all took hold
of the long pole and swung the big
kettle over it. How to get the sirup
ia was the next question, as we couldnit
lift the big jugs up. But I found the
dipper, and we dipped it out of the
churn used to store it in, until there
was a pailful or more in the kettle, and
it began to boil up, as yellow and sweet
as could be.
But this time it was dark as a pocket.
The lire lighted up the woods for a little
ways, but it seemed all the blacker in
the shadows beyond. We had never
been out alone before, and the strange
stillness began to make us feel very
queerly. Our shadows, thrown by the
firelight across the clearing, looked like
big, black giants, and there wasn't much
fun in our laughs as we watched them. One
of the littlest boys vowed he saw some
thing hiding behind a tree, and another
thought he heard some animal stepping
in the brush a little ways off. You see we
knew we weren't doing right, and that
makes boys and men, too very un
easy. Kut wo kept close to the fire, and
talked as bravely as we could, until the
boy who was stirring the sugar Baid: "It
hairs 1 it must be done I Who'll try it
first ?"
Who I who !" said a loud voice out
in the darkness of the woods.
Every boy started up as if a panther
had come upon us. Jim dropped his
Btirring-stick into the fire. Harry tipped
o'er the pans of snow on the bench.
Charlie stumbled over a root and fell
head first into a sap-bucket; and then
we all held our breaths and hurkened.
" Who ? who f " said the voice again,
loud and solemn. v
'Who are you, your own self?"
shouted Frank, the boldest boy in the
party -ana wnat-r-ye doing in this
upar bush this time of sight ?"
No answer oame.
"Let's smoke him out 1" said Frank
grabbing a blazing stick from the fire
and starting for the brush, using it as a
torch. He hadn't gone many yards be
fore a great white owl flew from its
porch in a tree, calling " Who-who-o-ol
To-whit-to-whoo 1"
And then we all laughed at our scare,
and tnrned to the sugar just as a dread
ful smoke and smell began to come out
of the kettle. While we had been "owl
ing it " the sugar had burned I
We hod just got the kettle swung off
from the fire when another voice sound
ed close behind us, and this time it
wasn t an owl, but father himself, who
had seen the light of the flro, and came
down to find out what it all meant.
"So, so," he said, "very industrious
boys, I see ! like to work nights I Well,
we can't have anything wasted. Yon can
just go nt that beautiful sugar you have
made and eat it up." And he was a man
that meant business, and no fooling,
when he spoke.
Well, we tried it on snow, and tried
it warm, but couldn't tell which way it
tasted the worst. Burnt sugar is about
the bitterest stuff I ever got hold of, and
a few mouthfuls of it was enough to set
us all to begging. Father let up on the
eating, bnt made us scrape and wash
the kettles and dishes, and bank up the
-Ire again. And then he put me ahead,
and made Will take hold of my coat-tail
and the next boy hold of Will's, and so
on to the end, and marched us all sin
gle file through the woods up to the
house, a giggling, but rather sheepish
procession.
Mother said she didn't think we were
a very happy-looking set of boys who
had been oil for snob a sweet time; and
well, we didn't do any more sly sugar
ing off after that. There didn't seem to
be much fun in it you know. Golden

A Fight Among Elephants.
The Piedmont Virginian gives ihe
following particulars of a flercu fight
among the elephants belonging to a
traveling menagerie : A rather exciting
scene occurred while Old John Robin
son's Circus was traveling en route to
Louisa Court House. The belligerents,
Chief, Princess, Mary and Bismarck,
were the actors and actresses in the
"little tifficnlty." It had been appar
ent to Mr. King (their keeper) and sev
eral older attaches of the show that
trouble whs brewing, the two factors,
Mary and Chief (Asiatic) on one side,
and Bismarck and Princess (African) on
the other. The denouement occurred
while crossing the South Anna
river, on a bridge; the elephants cross
ing in the following order: Princess
first, Mary second, Bismarck third, and
Chief bringing up the rear of the squad ;
the other elephants not being allowed to
come on the bridge at the name time on
account of its apparent weakness, their
weight being twentv tons. About

THE MASSACRE AT WTOMISU.
Prepnmtlans to t.'elrbrnte Its One Hnndreth
Annlrrrnnrr on Jnly 8 and 4-The 8tory
I the Battle and Mninacre.
A correspondent of a New York paper
writes as follows from Horauton, Pa.:
The elaborntepreparatiousin progress
among the people of Pennsylvania for a
centennial commemoration of the battle
nnd massaoro of Wyoming, rpcall one of
the most thrilling incidents of the Revo
lution. The name of Wyoming and its
sad history have obtained a worl 1-wide
fame, and naturally tha thousands who
have been stirred oy the recital of Its
woes, will feel au iuterest in the forth
coming oelebration, which will onour on
the 8(1 aud 4th of July next, the first
beiog the date of the battle and massa
cre. Tlio preparations for the demonstra'
tion were begun on the ninety-ninth
anniversary of the event, when a number
of the descendants of the gallant yeomen
who fought ami fell met and organized
an influential association, - with sub
committees scattered throughout . the
vallejr to attend to the details. The
heartiness with which they entered upon
their work and the enthusiasm with
which the publio have seconded their
efforts, warrant the hope that t ie affair
will be worthy of the occasion which it
is designed to honor.
The invasion of the valley was accom
plished on the 3d of July, 1778, when a
number of British soldiers, commanded
by Col. John Butler, nnd accompanied
by 700 In tians, led by the cruel half
breed, Brant, or Gi-en-gwah-toh, de
scended upon the defenceless settlement.
They were met by a few companies of
old men and boys, whose extreme age
and youth had exempted them from
service in the distant ranks of the Re- j
oublic, and for several hours a fierce
battle raged on the banks of the Sus
quehanna, But the contest was unequal.
The Indians from their ambush, kept up
a deadly flank fire, which soon thinned
the ranks of the yeomen, and, utterly
shattered, they were forced to fall back,
despite the appeals of their courage jus
leader, Col. Zobulon Butler, who cried,
" Don't leave m, my children, aud the
day is ours." The IndianR, seeing their
foes retreat, fell upon them and slaugh
tered witcout mercy, men, women and
children.
When the Six Nations espoused the
English cause against the C ilonies it
was part of the compact that the latter
should lead them agaiust Wyoming, to
afford them an opportunity of being
avenged upon the settlers, whom they
regarded as the usurpers of the red
man's paradise, a name sometimes given
to the valley; and so, the first skirmish
being over, the Indians gave full scope
to the spirit of destruction which possess
ed them, and, breaking away from their
leaders, they reaped a terrible revenge
upon the gentle people of that Arcadian
abode. About three hundred were put
to death with torch, tomahawk nnd
8 pear, regardless of age or sex, and the
tnost cruel tortures that a fiendish spirit
c juld devise were employed to make the
last lingering moments of their victims
full of agony. An awful night followed
that day of carnage. The huts and
homes, the crops and orchards, were set
on fire, and the devastation of the en
tire settlement was made complete.
Several were drowned in their efforts to
escape down the river under the cover
of night, but a party of a hundred
women and children succeeded in mak
ing their way to the mountains, under
the leadership of one old man, who was
their sole protector. But though they
ma the terrors of the massacre, it was
to encounter hardships equally severe.
Their path lay through tha Great
Swamp, now known as tho " Shades of
Death, by reason of the numbers who
had perished there, and the sufferiucrs
thoy endured from fear and famine and
sickness are unmatched by-anything on
record. One poor woman, whose babe
died at her breast in a vain effort to ob
tain nourishment, carrie I her dead dar
ling twenty miles rather than leave the
precious burden behind to fall a prey to
the wolves, and many other incidents of
love and devotion are related. Only a
few survived the fatigue of the march
and the plague which overtook them in
the swamp. The bodies of those who
were massacred in the Wyoming Valley
lay unburied on the plain for months,
until a detachment of soldiers gathered
them together one night and consigned
them to a large hole iu the ground, fear
ful lest a more respectful interment
might excite the enmity of the Indians,
who were still prowling about the neigh -borhood.
The result was that the exact
location of the remains was unknown to
the friends of the dead for many Years-
ana their discovery at last was a mere
accident. An unassuming obelisk com
memorative of the virtues of the fallen
heroes have been raised over their rest
ing place by the patriotic women of
Wyoming, and is visited every summer
by hundreds of persons attracted to the
scene by a spirit of reverence or curios
ity. In order to make the coming Centen
nial as realistic as possible, a- number
of huts are in prooess of erection along
the river, to look exactly like those
which stood there one hundred years
ago, and the old forts are being rebuilt.
A tribe of friendly Indians detailed
their chief a few days ago to wait on
the committee of arrangements and
offer their services, in full costume, and
their appearance will doubtless aid the
picturesque features of the representa
tion. President Hayes and a number
of men prominent in politics and litera
ture have also signified their intention
of being present. The first day will be
devoted to odes and orations commemo
rative of the event. The words of a
poem by Miss Susan E. Dickinson have
been set to musio and will be Bung by
one iiunarea voices, ana a similar con
tribution has been made by another
accomplished lady, who retires behind
tne om an plume of "Stella ot Liacka

of July consists of a grand pageant.

sooietits of Pennsylvania, to be followed

A sketch of Wyoming would be incom
plete without mentioning the "Bloody
Queen Esther," an Iudian fury, who
with her own hand put twenty men to
death. Her victims had been taken
prisoners, and were promised meroy;
but just at the moment when they hoped
to be released they were led from the
fort where they had been held captive,
aud ranged around a rook, upon which
their murderess, with death-maul and
tomahawk, dashed out their brains. It
is known to this day as O. teen Esther's
Rock, and the portion which rose above
the surface of the earth has been almost
carried away by the relio hunters. The

The Sudden Disuse of Stimulants.
The Rev. T. H. flhono writes from
Hartland Vicarage. North Devon, to the
London Tknen.' It is freanently affirmed
that any sudden abstinence from alooholio
beverages in a person much more nn
aged persori who has used them through
life, is prejudicial to health. An in
stance has lately come under my obser
vation of the beneficial results arising
from the sudden disuse of alooholio
stimulants by a widow of eighty-two
summers. Her usual drink through life
had been gin, whioh she chanced for
beer previously to reaching her eightieth
year. Hue suffered from occasional at
tacks of gout in her left hand, and also
a running foot-sore. Upon her reaching
tho age of eighty that is two years ago
she suddenly adopted the total ab
staining principle, much to the surprise
and consternation of her friends, who all
prophesied a speedy and sudden terinin
tion of her life for the want of her
accustomed potations. Nothing of the
kind. The toe healed, t.hn print vanish
ed, and for two years she has been free
from tuese uarassing oomplaints, and is
a living monument of the good effected
by the sudden adoption of a non-alco-holio
regimen. She is in her eighty
third year, and frequently walks out
into her son's garden or farmyard with
out any covering on her head. Her
memory is excellent; she can repeat
long prayers, and she bids fair to be
come a centenarian. -
The Power of Suctfon.
In a Scottish port, celebrated for its
herring fishing, there lived a character
named Dugala M' , owner of an old
fishing boat called by the local wits the
" Emsie." Ou one occasion the " Em
sie," with a crew of three hands, includ
ing the owner, was fishing in the Kyles
of Bute, and had what fishermen call a
run of bad luck, by reason of which the
crew had for a considerable time to sub
mit to short rations. One morning,
however, a stroke of luck put them in
funds, and the owner replenished the
locker, one item being one pound of salt
butter, whioh, be it noted, was placed in
a bowl. Ou going to sea in the eveninar.
the owner descended to the " den " to
get what he called a pieo..." One of the
hands followed by and-by on the same
errand, but was surprised to find the
bowl empty. Thiukiug he had made
some mistake, he inquired of Dugald
where the butter had been put, to which
Dugald r plied. "It's iu the bowl." at.
the same time moving forward to seek
what he knew could not be found. On
looking into the empty bowl he ex
claimed, in surprise, "Eh, gudesake !
the bowl has sooked it in." We need
hardly remark that the hand went on
deck "a sadder but a wiser man."

In the Clult'hcs of on Octopns.
The Warrnambool (Australia) Stand
ard gives an account f a diver being
seized by au octopus or sea-devil: The
diver engaged at the Moyne River,
Belfast, in removing tha reef had a
rather narrow escape from losing his
life. It appears that Mr. Smale had
fired off a charge of dynamite and
displaoed a large quantity of stones at
the" bottom of the river. He went down
to prepare for lifting these stones by
the aid of chains into the punt. While
engaged in rolling over a large stone he
saw someting which he supposed at the
time was a piece of clean-looking kelp
moving about in front of where he was
working. In a few seconds this object
came in contact with the diver s arm,
about which it quickly coiled, partly
holding him. Immediately Mr. Hmale
touched what was coiled round his arm
he became aware of his position, and
tried to extraot himself from the grasp
of a " sea-devil," but found it a far more
uifficult 10b than he anticipated.
Catching hold of the part hanging from
the arm we wa'.ked along the bottom of
the river towards the end of it, when he
saw he was firmly held by one of the
feelers 01 a large octopus, better known
amongbt sailors as the "devil -fish."
Mr. Smale tried to pull the fish off from
its hold of the rocks, but without effect
for some time. At last the fish, perhaps
thinking it had not sufficient hold or
power over its prey, loosened itself from
the stones and quickly transferred its
feelers or arms around the diver's legs
and body. In this position Mr. Smale
thought the best thing for him to do
was to get up on deck as soon as possi
ble, and he quickly made traoks for the
ladder which reaches from tho deck of
the punt to the bottom of the river.
The diver was certainly a ourious-
looking object when he came up. This
huge, ugly looking thing appeared to
be eutangled all over him, holding him
in a firm embrace. However, Mr.
Smale's fellow-workmen were not long
in freeing him from the unfriendly hug
of bis submarine companion. Tne body
portion of the octopus was only about
the size 01 a large soup plate, with eyes
in its head like those of a sheep, but it
possessed nine arms, eaon about four
feet in length, at the butt as thick as a
man's wrist, tapering off at the end to
as fine a point as that of a penknife;
thus it could spread over an area of nine
feet in diameter. AU the way along
the underneath part of eaoh feeler are
suckers every quarter of an inch.
giving it immense power. Mr. Smale
declares it was powerful enough to keep
inree men uuaer water.

The Adriatic Ilenprr.

street, Jfew York, who are so well and favor
ably known as the builders of the famous
Buckeye Movrert and Reaper. The Adriance
Reaper is fitted to meet the wants of those
farmers who prefer a separate aud distinct
machine for reaping. The name of the luild
ers Is a sufficient guarantee for the excellence
of its material and workmanship; but nothing
short of a personal inspection can enable the
farmer to appreciate the remarkable Ingenuity
of its devices or the admirable manner in
which it combines simplicity with efficiency. It

that whioh has proved 10 suooessful on the
Buckeye Harvester, but are still more per
fectly under the control of the driver. It ia
of very light draft, but very strong. The ease
with which the platform can be tilted fits ic
especially for use in lodged grain. It will do
good work in all kinds or oonditiom of grain,
and its folding platform makes it as portable
as the Buckeye Mower.
With an Adriance Reaper and a New Model
Buckeye Mower a farmer is enabled to gather
his grass and grain crop with the least degree
of disoomfort to himself or his team, and with
the most satisfactory results.

Natural Melecilon.
Investigators of natural science have demon
strated beyond controversy, that throughout
the animal k ugdoui the "bui vival of the tiiWH"
is the oul.v law that vouchsafes thrift aud per
petuity. Dues not the same priuciple govern
tne commnrcial prosuerity or man I Au infer
ior cannot supersede a superior article. Illus
trative of this priuciple are tbe familv medi
cines of B. V. Fierce, H. D., of Buffalo, N. i
liy reason ot superior merits, they nave outri
valed all other medicines. Their sale in the
United States alone exceeds one million dollars
per annum, while the amount exported foots
up to several hundred thousand more. No
business could grow to such gigantic propor
tions aud rest upon any otner basis than that
ot merit. It is safe to say that no medicine or
combination of medicines yet discovered equals
or can compare with Dr. Pierce's Golden Ju di
cal Discovery, for the cure of coughs, cold.,
ana ail pulmonary ana Diooa affections, if the
bowels oe constipated and hver aiuggisb, his
Pleasant Purgative Pellets will give prompt
relief; while his Favorite Prescrip ion will pos

A Oulnen. for a Klxpenre.
A firm in New York seems unfamiliar with
the London ftory of tbe man who offered to
sell real guineas at a trifle, but could find no
buyers. Geo. P. Bowell & Co., the "News-
Eaper Advertising Bureau," propose, for one
nndred (?) dollars, to put a ten-line adver
tisement in some thirty standard weeklies, and
to slide it into a thousand other weeklies free.
Do they expect people to take the offer ? Anv
one acquinte-l with the high rates of these
etauuara weeklies can see tuat tne inmg is
ridiculong. Bowell & Co. must know very
well that acceptances of the offer would be no
many items to charge to profit and loss. We
retract our insinuation about their ignorance
of that London story. They probably know it
too well and are shrewd enough, by taking ad
vantage of that human trait at which the story
hits, to make a stroke for fame as men of
star. ling liberality, and at the same time run
no iw 01 pecuniary loss.
