Has Degrees Enough. The following "sr-'vial'' from Iloading, appear ed in th North American last Friday: "When you yet to bo GH, don't try to join a lodge there is no telling w hat will happen to you. Frederick Huyett, of Exeter, who gave this advice to-day, is the person who had six men ar rested yesterday. He alleges that in pretending to initiate him into the Red Men they rode him on a rail, ducked him and did many other things to him. "I thought the young men were sincere, he declared.aud consent ed to give them my proposition, after they told me that I was not too old to become a member. They told me that I would have to take three degrees the same evening I gave them my projxisi tion. Of course, I consented.and before I knew it, they had me on a ran, and were running through the village. They returned, and, taking my hat oil my head, tilled it with water, and then put it back on my head. The cold water ran down my back, and I almost froze. They did this three times and said that I had successfully got the first degree. "I told them that I didn't want the other two degrees, but they told me it was too late to kick; that I had to take all of them. They then carried me to a water trough, and, seizing me by the legs, dipped me into the trough three times. The last time they held my head under water three seconds, until the bubbles began to rise to the surface, when they released me. That was the second degree. "There was uo way of getting out of it, and being a helpless old man, of course, I had to submit. They cut all of the buttons off of my trousers, cut the rim off of my hat, put the remainder of the hat back on my head and then ripped myfltoit open up the back. Not being satisfied, they took me up in the large hall, and marched me around about a doz en times. I was then compelled to get on my knees, when they whooped like Indians. They join ed hands, ard had a war dance around me. They pulled my hair hit me on the head and grabbed me.by my whiskers until my face was sore; They then made me join hands with them, and took me around a ring twenty-five times, and I fell over from ex haustion after that. Then I was taken downstairs and locked in a shed, where I remained until my employer released me. Before they departed they shouted: 'You successfully passed three degrees at the meeting next week you musttakethreemore.' I told them that three was enough, and that I had no desire to become a a full-Hedged member. I am done with lodges." According to the- March ropirt of the agricultural department, the farmers of this country yet hold 128,100 bushels of wheat. If this showing be correct and we have no reason to doubt its cor rectness, it shows that for a while to-come, at least, the agri culturalists won't starve. "What isau anecdote, Johnny'. " asked the teacher. "A short funny tale," answer ed the little fellow. "That's right," said the teach er,. "Now, Johnny, you may write a sentence on the black board containing the word." Johnny hesitated a moment, and then wrote: "A rabbit has four legs and one anecdote." He who does the present duty need not concern himself about thtsVfturo. Chicago. March tC, lttul. Dkau Kimtoh: On receiving my old friend "The News" this weelf I hurriedly begun to peruse its columns. Ou opening the pa per I was for a time bullied, f was unable for the titne,to realize whether I whs standing on my head, or should be; but linding I was right side up, I hurriedly came to the conclusion that the editor must have been standing on his head when he printed it. Heiug so anxious to peruse its contents, I made haste to attempt the project of retroversion in or der to be equal to the occasion, but being somewhat out of prac tice of standing on my head, ! was obliged to turn the paper: how ev er, I managed to peruse the col umns with the greatest of inter est's the News is one of the most welcome visitors that conies to see me. It is through its columns I learn of many of my old friends. I am somewhat surprised, how ever, that I have not had the op portunity of meet iug any of them iu this Burg since I came here now over two years ago with the exception of Mr. Joe Eisher and family,who made a trip here dur ing the G. A. K. encampment last fall. And, by the way, I was very much disappointed not to see Un cle John G. Shaffer ou that occa sion, as lie promised me to come. Wo are now beginning to got a touch of jspring: and, together with the mud. political tiirht and Lagrippe that we have to endure, things are not so pleasant as they might be. But, us the old saying goes, '-after a storm there is al ways a calm," and as nature will provide us, eventually, with more agreeable -weather, time will si lence the politician, and, as would only lie natural for me to say in my line, the grippe, too. Under the skillful treatment of our army of physicians, it will soon be stamped out, then we will enjoy the luxuries 'too numerous to speak of. We have had a rather mild win ter, although quite a. lot of snows and sloigluug parties were in evi dence, yet I caut say that it was as much enjoyed as some that we used to have over the old hills in Fulton. I guess it is an unex plained theory but nevertheless it is a true one that the place of one's boyhood will hold the ten- derost place in his memory; and while distance may separate him far from it, his memory will .-steal away and return notwithstanding the weather. We expect a great old parade to-morrow St. Patrick's day in which scores of Irish-American societies, numbering several thousands numerous bands, am bulance compauies,aud regiments of guards will be a part. It is, of course, managed by the foreign nationality Irish and there is no dou bt of its being a grand suc cess. Respectfully, J. J. Palm Kit. Night Was Her Terror.

Trout's drug store ' Saved by a Song. MY 1.(11' KAWKKM'K. "Ilonie, home, sweet, swoej home." It was scarcely mere tl an a baby's voieethatc.arried thogra,.d old refrain out upon the air of a ! summer' morning; yet John K'ei 1 Ker halted as suddenly as if some : in. seen hand had struck him pow erless, lie raised his bent head, and stood in listening altitude, i while the same childish voice 1 sang: j ' lie it ever so humble, there's no place like home." 1 The singing ceased; and, after j wailing vainly for a few secouds ! for it to lie resumed, John took up again the slow, shambling pace which had been interrupted by tin; song. Anxiously ho scanned I tiie surroundings of the farm 1 house toward which ho was mak j ing his way, in the hope of discov ering the little singer. Soon his progress put a large hemlock out j of the range of himself and the i house; ami there upon the porch j iloor, with her bare feet dangling I over its vine-covered foundation, he saw a sweet-faced little girl of live years, with her doll iu her laj and a large cat by her side. Her head was thrown backward, and an abundance of sunny brown hair fell over her shoulders. Again she was singing: S'.H' liie'ns tin tlmt moon from our own . cottilye (lour, Through t lie woodbine whoso fragrance shall cheer me no more." Again John paused aud mut tered: "If I go on 'till she sees me, she'll run." ' He drew up agaiust a clump of low willow trees aud watched the lit tie singer. Iu a short while he forgot that the child was there; for, in his miud's eye, he saw a ; tow, crumbling, vine-wreathed i cottage standing far away iu a j Vermont valley. There were ttowers in he yard and a vegcta-' j hie garden in front; and he saw a I little girl, no larger than the tiny I singer, who carried a doll and led a kitten by a string. Then he saw a pair of sturdy boys aud a keen eyed woman of thirty years, with tirm, regular features.auda brisk, elastic stop. Befell to wondering what all these people were like now, and what they were'doiug. It had been live years since he saw them. The elder boy, he thought, would be almost a man; and the woman would be turning gray, no doubt. Aud little Elsie, his blue-eyed baby girl, how largo was she, he wondered. But I w ill tell you his story as he told it to the childish singer's father an hour after. "Say, Mister, don't you want to hire a hand?" "I d.i. indeed, want to hire a hand; but you you " "Well, what about me?" "I don't fancy that you want to work very bad," rescinded the farmer. "I don't eh. Well, you try me and see." "Would you really work if I gave you a chance". Do you know how to do farm work. " "Yes, I "11 work, that's straight goods; and I know how to do farm work-, too. I was a farmer my sou uuin aoout live years ago. " "What have you been doing since you quit farming? " "If you'll promise to give mo a chance to earn money enough to carry me back to the farm I left, I'll tell you how I came to leave it, and what I've been doing siuco then." "Very well; it's a bargain pro vided you haven't been breaking the laws during that time." "I'm no criminal," said John Bi.-ilcer, slowly aud thoughtfully; but here's my story." lie made a long jiauso. His brow contracted, and his hand shook; but he continued: "I'm most ashamed to tell it, but this is how it happened. I'd bought a farm and gone in debt; and .somehow, couldn't manage to get out. worked hard and made some money, but lost much of it in bad deals; yes, I guess they were bad deals; Molly said they v. ere.and I supposo she was right. I thought so at the time, and if she'd only kept from nagging,I'd stuck' to it. But you see, Mister, Molly's a manager herself; came of regular old Plymouth stock; and she hadn't much patietMO with me. Not that I deserved pa tience, though I'm sure I meant to do my best, even if I didu't quite- make the landing. v I ') "Well, you see, I got to talking back to Molly, and that made her worse; till one day she said. 'John I lei her, you're no man at all; I'm a woman, but if you 'il gel out of hive, I'll ivy o!V that mortgage my so! f. ' "Then, stranger, I just set my loi-tii together, and went upstairs and j nicked my grip. Whea I came down, I sail i, 'Now Molly, I'm going to give you a chance to pay off the mortgage. Her face was as white as it will be when she's dead, but she just up and said, 'I'll do it." You see, 1 had a sort of hope that she'd coax mo to stay; but she didn't; so I bade her aud the kids good by uud came away. "When I left, I brought just money enough to take me out to Illinois where I had a cousin, aud I went straight there, lie gave me work.but we didn't get along, lie guessed that there was some thing wrong, and kept twitting mo until I couldn't stand it; so I told him a few things and left him. "Since then I've tramped and worked, worked and trumped. Sometimes I had a mind to steal something and get into the pen, just to have a home. I never beg ged; I'd have stolen first; but I've lain in barns, aud under stack's, and oh, sir, if you're ever home less, you'll know how I felt, out yonder, when I heard your little girl singing 'Home, Sweet Homo.' As I stood there and listened, I thought it all over; and I swore by the love I bear my own little girl, that if I could get work', I'd earn enough money and then go home to Molly aud the kids; and that if I couldn't get the money, I'd walk it," "It would be a long walk from Ohio to Vormoiji," said the fann er, iu a husky voice. "I rather think you'd better get the mon ey." Three months later John Ih i ker stood at the door of his old home in Vermont. Thrice lie es sayed to knock, but his hand re fused to do thobiddlngoi'his will. Then he heard a light step, and the door was opened from within. Tiie delicate blue-eyed girl who had opened it shrank" back with a startled cry. "Elsie, my baby Elsie?" cried the man, shocked to see his child shrink from him in this manner. "Papa, papa! Oh, mamma, is it Papa?" For answer, Molly Keiker laid her head on her husband's shoul der and sobbed aloud. When she recovered her voice, she said: "John, I haven't got the mort gage lifted. It's just where you left it." "Then, Molly, I suppose you'll be willing to let us try it togeth er again?" said her husband in reply. It was two years before John was able to bring the mortgage home; but not until the day on which he did so, did he tell his wife and children how the soug of the little Ohio girl hud sent him homo to them.

Madame Sarah Grand lately cousented to talk ou the art of happiness. Some of her aphor isms are worth keeping: There are minor pleasures the effect of which is accumulative, and which make up a happy life. Even iu choosing to be miser able we are happy, since there is happiness in every act of choice. Amongst women the desire to work is not so common that it should be discouraged. There is a great deal of differ ence between.a copy and an imita tion. The misery children make for their parents is well known; the misery parents make for their children not so well. . The two great sources of hap piness are health of body aud strength of mind. Iu recipes for happiness good ness must always bo the princi pal ingredient. . When people begin to bo crit ical they cease to bo pleasant. BOTTLES.
