Velvet bourette is a new summer

velvets of many colors are also new in

as hitherto.

The Monticello, N. Y., Watchman
says: One day recently a lady started
for Monticello from t Gill man’s Station.
She drove a fiery two-year-old hitched
to a light cutter. When half the dis¬
tance had been covered the colt got
down in a big snow-bank, and in its
efforts to regain its feet snapped off both
thills. Here was a dilemma. The lady,
with pluck which many men might well
emulate, took the broken shafts from
the sleigh, tied the traces, one to each
runner, and started back for repairs.
She did not le^d the eolt. She drove
him, and part of the way the sleigh was
ahead of the animal, and the other part
it was on his heels. She came to
the boarding-house with a flourish, ad¬
justed another pair of shafts and drove
io Monticell o safely,

Fun for the Young People.
>
The young people of Perry, Ga., ac¬
cording to the Enquirer of that town,
have a pleasant way of spending their
2 veningp, and it is as novel and unique
as pleasant. It is told that they have
doe-nation parties to which young ladies
only are invited. The time and place
are kept secret from the young gentle¬
men. The young ladies assemble at
some private residence, each with her
donation of refreshments, and determine
to enjoy themselves, ostensibly without
the presence of the stags. The latter,
in the meantime, having discovered the
time and plaoe, organize a storming
party and capture the hiding place, to
the great delight of both parties, who
thereupon have an enjoyable social
avening t ogether, as they set o ut to do.
A prominent senool book publisher
gives us a new idea of the province of
the newspaper. He says: “I sometimes
think that newspapers make men un¬
social. Indeed, I know they do. Men
no longer go to each other for informa¬
tion, but look for it in their newspaper.
In the early days of civilization, before
the newspaper era, men gathered to¬
gether as the Athenians did, anxious to
hear some new thing. In the early
days of this country the crossroads store
was the news centre, where men gath¬
ered in a social way to communicate the
news to one another. But the news¬
paper changed all that.”
The world is of such power, even in
its right things there are so many of
them that touch the imagination, the
ieelmgs, the sentiments of men on so
many sides, that it is only now and then
there is a man of sufficient stamina and
independence to stand up and maintain
an active, sturdy piety while standing
alone in t he world.— Bbechbb .
They Left.—A Texas paper says:
If nine-tenths <rf us city people and pro
fessional paupers hadn’t acted the fool
and left the farm, we would have been
far better off and happier in every re
spect than we are now. God made the
country, bnt man m*le the town.

Farmer Terwilliger, of Lackawaxen,
has been missing chickens from his hen
coop every night for the past two weeks
or so. He couldn’t find out where they
went. The other day he read how
Sheriff Bidgway had rescued a rabbit
from a weasel in the stone quarry at
Kimble’s, and how the weasel was sus¬
pected of being the cause of the disap¬
pearance of fifteen chickens that had be¬
longed to one of the qnarrvmen.
“By gam, mother!” said Farmer
Terwilliger to his wife, “I’ll bet it’s a
weasel that’s walking off with our
chickens. I’ll lay for him to-night and
bring in his scalp.”
Farmer Terwilliger wont to the hen¬
coop, armed with a pitchfork and a re¬
volver. It was after dark. He opened
the door to enter and wait for the weasel
to come. A yell that filled the coop and
set the chickens to cackling greeted
him. The next second he was sprawling
in the snow, and an animal with eyes
like live coals stood over him, ripping
his clothing to tatters, and losing no
time to get down to his flesh. Farmer
Terwilliger tumbled about in the snow,
but the animal whose feast he had dis¬
turbed stayed by him. He finally got
his pistol out of his overcoat pocket and
fired. Then he got to his feet and fired
all the shots there were in the pistol
here and there about the yard. Then he
put on his best licks for the house. He
slammed the door behind him and
locked it. There wasn’t much of his
clothing left on him. When he got his
breath he said to his wife:
“I don’t know what it was, but I have
my doubts about it’s being a weasel.”
The next morning when Farmer Ter¬
williger peered out of his up-stairs win¬
dow he saw the dead body of a large
animal stretched in the snow near the
hen-house. The snow was torn up for
several feet around, and red with blood.
The animal was a oatamount, and it
weighed over sixty pounds .—New York

A Parisian Newspaper.
When the late M. Yillemessant, the
proprietor of the Paris Figaro , died he
left the paper to the three men who had
done the most to aid him. Bnt there
were many old contributors on the pa¬
per—men with well-known names, who
made an outcry at this division of the
property. They insisted that they
ought to have been consulted, and they
threatened to found an opposition
Figaro . This alarmed the three prin¬
cipals, and they made a proposition to
the effect that they themselves should
take each $35,000 ont of the concern
yearly, and that the other men should
each have a salary of $7,500 for the
work they were to do, and at the end of
the year draw a like sum out of the
profits, thus insuring them $15,000 a
year each. Yet these men do not write
an average of more than half a column
a day each—if, indeed that much, so
that they have a very easy time of it.
It is one of the conditions that when
any one of them dies his share goes to
the others, so that the last survivor will
have an enormous income.
