The other morning, as the wife
ot Jean Baptist* Reetui l v. a far
iner in 8t. Vincent do Paul, a vil
luse abut ten miles from Montieal
was feeding her fowls, and w hile ,
her child, aged about two years,
was playing around, suddenly a
large bald eagle swooped dow n
and bore the little one otf in its
lalens. The child screamed and
extended its arms to the mother,
who was beside herself with men
tal agony, but was powerless to
render assistance. The screams j
of the child, however, attracted 1
the neighbors, who, with shotguns 1
pursued the eagle. The bird was j
seen to alight with its prey upon
tlie roof of a barn a mile distant.
Lifting up its bead, with one pow
erfui stroke it drove its beak into
the child's head and began its
horrid feast. At the near ap
proach of the neighbors, who were
tiring guns to frighten il, the ea
gle took flight, leaving the child
behind it. When Hie body was
found life was extinct. The skull
was split in two and a part of the

That the wheel of fortune is ev
er revolving finds an illustration
in this county. There is a young
girl r.ow working out by the day
desti
tute and dependent circumstances
who was reared in the lap of lux
ury. and nntii late years knew not
the meaning of the word want.—
Her grandfather gave #10,000 to
tlie Wesleyan University, and
while tbe beauty and wealth of
Georgia are now reaping tbe re
sults of his generons gift, this old
man's own flesh and blood is toil
ing at the wash tub and cooking

life. There is another instance in

know families who a decade ago
were drinking the dregs of pover
ty, and now rolling in wealth, -and
Tom was my cousin, but we
lived like brothers, for I was an
orphan here in his father's in-use.
And Tom and his father and 1
were all there was of the family.
We hoys were of an age, but I
was always weakly, while Toni
giew up to look like his Saxon an
|ccslor who foils lit with Harold at
i Hastings. On the very day of
bis coming of age Tom was mar
ried, and it was a di uhlc cele
bration in which all the country
joiaed; for we York county people
were then still clinging to the
good old fashions our grandsires
brought over in tiie Mayflower.
Tom’s wife was the fairest girl
in Yoik, and I remember how
beautiful she looked, bow strong
ami proud he was, as be brought
her home here. Fur I was too
weak to go to the wedding and the
afternoon festivities at her home;
hut I sat here at the big hall win
dow- anil watched for them. Aud
just as the clock struck 6 I saw
them coming over the hill, two
miles away; and in just ten min
utes mure they drove up and were
in the door. Tom had said he
would be here at 6, and dinner
was wailing; and he pulled out
bis watch and showed that it was
only 6 by it. But the old clock
showed it waa wrong, and Tom set
his watch by the clock and ever
afterward kept them just togeth
er.
Wc were a happy honseliold.
And our happiness seemed crown
ed when at Christmas tide next
year a little one came to bear his
lather's name. And he grew and
thrived, and the old ball was full
«f music, and the ticking of the
cluck seemed sweet melody. But
one morning, the next summer his
mother came downstairs, half
laughing, half crying. She bad
had a strange dream, sbe told us.
She had seen the baby dead and
I laid in the old clock case for a
coffin; and so clear and life like
waa the dream that she puticed
even that tlie clock hands pointed
to just ten minutes after 6. We
laughed the dream out of her
mind, and the summer went on
happily. Tbe wedding anniver
sary came around, and we cele
brated it witli a little lawn party
ont there under tbe big elms you
noticed as you came in to-day.
The baby was out there, too, in
his cradle; but as the sun grew
low in tbe west we brought him
in and placed his cradle just in
side the open hall door, where we
could all see it while we tarried
on tlie lawn to watch the finish of
a close game of croquet There
was a sudden cry from the little
fellow, whom we had left sleeping,
we saw tbe cradle rocking violent
iy; in n bound Ton crossed the
lawn and was in the hall, the rest
vice versa.—Anguut Cor. to Ath- a * at hi*
tut Banner.
Nothing was
disturbed in any way save that
the bady was gone—gone, without
a trace, as though vanished into
ihin air. And as Tom was j
ing about like a madman his wife
uttered a shriek that still rings in
my old ears, and fell to the ground
blood from an artery gushing
from her lips and her dying eyes
riveted with awful fascination on
tbe old clock; and as our glance
followed hers we shuddered at
memory of her dream, for the
hands showed just Vn minutes
after six.
Ah, ni'i the day! It was the
mpurnfullesl lime the hall Itad
ever known. Tom. bereft of wife
and child by one stroke, was at
first crushed. But in an hour he
rallied and was in the saddle.
And long iiefore midnight every
man and boy in all the country—
age, and tlie women, too—were
out on the search for the stolen
child. The night passed, and the
next dav, and a week went by,
but never a trace of him. There
was a hand of strolling gypsies in
.he neighberhood, and then-
wasn't a scrap of |>apcr even in
all camp that we didn't unfold
and turn over in our search. But
all to no avail. The child was
gone, gene, gone.
Tom never gave up the search,
however. He could think of noth
ing else. Month after month
went by, and still be kept it up.
At last, in midwinter, lie struck
what seemed a clew. The gypsies
who had been here were reported
to lie encamped for the winter in
a valley near Franconia, in the
bleak White mountain country,
and to have a strange child with
them. Tom was off like a shot,
alone in his haste, for it would
have delayed him an hour to wail
for comrades, and he wonld not
waste even one hour.
It was s journey of several days
in those times. Ilia father and 1,
who were left at home, beard
nothing of him, and, indeed, cx-
ix'cted to bear nu-.liing. for nearly
a week. But one morning, long
before daylight, uncle called to
me from his room. He had start
ed up front his sleep, and felt
strangely uneasy. We sat
together listening to the raging
of tlie storm without, until morn
iDg dawned. And then, as we
leseended the staira together, we
were startled to notice that the
old clock bad ttopfed, for the
first time in its history, and its
hands were pointing to ten in inn
tes past 6. just as they point to
day; for they have never been stir
red from that hour to this.
Reports came to us of that
storm. Il had raged that night
and until late that morning all
over New England. Reads were
blocked. The party that set out to
follow Tom got snow bound for a
week, and at last came back with
out having reached their destina
tion. The mountain passes were
blocked with snow, and the gyp
sies’ valley was inaccessible.
And there bad liecn terrible snow-
slides ami avalanches iu the Fran
conia Notch. As for Tom. they
did not know what had become of
him. He had reached Franconia
safely, and set out on horseback
and alone for tlie valley where the
gypsies were. His road led
through the Notch. Further than
that no one knew what had be
come of him. Possibly lie had
reached tbe camp and was there
now safe and sound, hut shut in
by the same snow that shut us
out. At any rale, nothing posi
tive could be ascertained until
spring came, or a thaw opened up
the roads. But his father and I
went right up to Franconia and
staid there, so as to be as close to
him as possible. There we waited
and the roads remained impassa
ble for a long time. At last I
made my way through, with a
couple of guides, just iu time to
find that famine had forced the
gypsies to break camp and pass
out by another road, where the
snow was not so deep. I followed
on as I test 1 could, but it was slow
work for one so weakly as I was.
I traced them on, but could not
overtake them, and at length, in
the spring, reached the end of the
LraiL That waa at a fishing port
on the Cape Ann coast. They bad
stolen a small coasting craft and
set sail in the night—the Lord
only knew whither! And so I
turned back, with my long chase
in vain, sav* that I felt sure Tom
could not have been with them.
When I reached Franconia again
the snow was fast breaking up.
My uncle and 1 felt a growing
certainty that Tom must have
perished in the storm of that
night. So we kept constant
watch among the melting snow
drifts. But the last one vanish
ed, and no trace of him yet was
seen. In one place, however, tlie
road waa choked by a landslide.
A huge avalanche of earth and
rocks and snow bad swept down,
twenty feet deep. Covering the
Notch road for half a mile. When
did it fall? The people told ns.
It was the night of the storm—the
night Tom rods toward the val
ley by that Very wav! Well, *c
soon had men at work digging
and blasting. For two weeks

•July 9lh, 1885.—For twelve oi
fourteen years 1 have been a great

my condition continued to grow
worse, aud all said that 1 must

Tha Widow’* D*f.
Some weeks ago a widow moved
into Detroit from a town in the
western part of the State. Sha
brought with her a bull dog,
which showed game in every move
ment, and it was not long Iiefore
every butcher and sport in the
neighborhood wanted to buy that
dog. The widow wouldn't sell at
any price. The next thing to
buying the dog w»9 to get up a
fight between him and another ca
nine of bloodthirsty appearance,
hut the widow would not hear to
this.
“I want you to understand.”
she indignantly replied, that 1 am
a respectable woman and give no
encouragement to such things.
Still, there was one or two men
who did not despair. They began
to conspire, and as a result they
od a fighting dog into a barn near
the widow’s house the other day,
and one of them paid a call at the
house and said:
"In course we knows how you
feels about this dog fighting. We
feel the same, but there's a wo
man across the alley who owns a
-log which she brags on.”
“She can't be no lady,” waa the
retort.
“Exactly, madam, or she wonld
not speak of yon as she does.’
“Speak of ine! Why, I don’t
know her!'’
“In course you don't, and I
should hate to tell you wliat ah*
says of you.” : .
“But you must! If she’s talk
ing about me I want to know what
she says!”
“But ma'am, you'll excuse me,
you know.”
“No 1 won’t! What does she
say :
“Well, then, begging your par

Dynamiting a Dog.
Old Blobbs got tired of having
the dog around, a worthless beast,
although affectionate, anri, taking
him out in a vacant lot, he tied a
half pound can of dynamite to his
tail and then lit out for a safe
place to see the explosion. The
devoted animal followed bis mas
ter closely, and the faster Blolibs
went the faster went the cur. Just
about this time the thought cross
ed Blobbs mind that he ought to
have lied the dog; but be didn't
stop tn consider it. Just as lie
lost bis wind and pieked up a
stone to persuade the dog to leave
the thing went off. It was a suc
cess. Portions of the date Mr.
Blobbs arriving daily by mail
from the different counties, and
the funeral ceremonies will be held
when the returns arc all in. The
dog is dead.— Athene Banner

“I'll sue her for slander! I’ll se*

“We've got her dog in the barn,

She was saying yesterday that if
her dog could only get at your
dog once there ”
“B-’tliecan! You go into the

lake him over there! If he can't
whip any such woman’s dog I'll
disown him!”
“Exactly, ma'am, and you can
trust me to see fair play. The ar
rogant head of sich a slandcrful,
boasterous woman should be hum
bled, you know, and it’s you who
will do it”
The dog was taken to the barn,
and lie did not disappoint lit*
backers. After a fight of fifteen
minutes he was declared victor,
and as the referee gavo iiis decis

saying:
“Good! that pays her for abus
