When it ia finished the atage is shifted te rho opposite aide, and then it in a remarkable sight to see the tall, straight mass liegin to tremble aa the axe goes in. It iisaaUy give* a heavy crack about fif- teen minutes before it means to fall. The chopper thereupon give, a warningshont.

At last the tree visibly totters, ami slowly goes over; and os it goes the t'lioppcr gets off hia stage and runs a few feet to one aide. Then you hear and „• one of the grandest and most majes tic incidents of foreat life. There ia , slmrp crack, a crash, and then a long, prolonged, thunderous crash, which, when you hoar it from a little distance, startlingly like an actual and aovere thunder-peal. To see a tree six feet in diameter and 175 feet high thus go down u ft very gnat night not Boon forgotten. The choppers expressed themselves as disappointed tlrat they could not jnst then show me the fall of a tree ten or twelve feet in diameter and over two hundred feet high. In one logging-camp 1 visited, there remained a atunip four teen feet high. At this height the tree was fourteen feet in diameter, perfectly round and sound, and it was sawed into MVentccn logs, each twelve feet long, lire upper length was six feet in iliamo- t,-r. 1’relably the tree was three hun dred feet long, for the top for a long dis tance- is wasted. So many of the trees and so many parts of trees are splintered or broken in the fall that the master of a logging-camp told me he tlumglit they wasted at least as much aa they saved; and as the mills also waste A good deal, it is probable that for every foot of this lumber that goes to market two foot are lost. A five-foot tree occupies a chopper from two and a half to three and a half hours. When the tree is down the sawyers ccme. Kadi has a long saw; he removes the hark at each cut with nn axe, and then •awa it into lengths. It is odd enough to go pass a tree and sod a saw moving hock ami forward across ita diameter without seeing the man who moves it, for the tree hides him completely from you, if you are on the side opposite him. Then come the barkers, with long iron barn; then the jack-screw men. two of whom moTe n log about cosily and rapidly which a hundred men could hardly budge.

There is to be a oourse of lectures in the neighboring church by distin guished men and women, and it wouldbe pleasont to go, but winter is coming and there is coal to get, and Sour will be wanted, and mother says, “Better not mi-ntion the lectures to your father.” Now when the choice is between coals and floor and music and lecture-tickets and there is honestly not enough money to afford all, why the latter must go. Cut your cost by your cloth, of course. But wo are talking of cases where there is enough money to afford aesthetic and in tellectual enjoyment as well as food and fire; to afford books and papers other than school books, and to put now and then a paper on the wall and a flower in the window, as well aa to buy when needed a chair and a table. Save for the children if yon can, and so mue 1 as you can, but remember it is spendthrift economy that does it by saving from them.

The family that seems to have had the most careful training does less credit to ilw-U than the family whose childish freedom of action shocked the critlaal ob server. We say “seems to have had the meet careful trainingfor it is often only in seeming after all that the differ ence h«« oonoisted. As a rule it may be predicn*-d that of wire family govern ment that it will be known as a tree is, bv its fruits. AU government that is only from the outside, and therefore despotic, fails necessarily of reaching ita end; and all government whose aim from first to last is to teach is subjects self-control must give them considerable latitude. The latter sort, however, takes very much more time and thought than the formcr, and is incompatible with certain things which have come to be by many people accepted as cardinal points in fam ily polity. For instance, if father and mother set out primarily with the idea that they must save foe their children, and so feeling, if they bend each year the strength of their natures in a united effort to add acres to the farm, or to increase the money in the savings bank, they will spend all their forroe there. The father will work hard late and early, saving here, economizing there, growing stoop- shouldered and gray, but gaining his point and thinking complacently of the amount he ia worth. The mother will lunch and contrive and patch and darn, practicing a thousand small economic that nobody ever suspects, and losing even the memory of the day when she was a bonny Mithe-hearted girl vfbom her tired busband used to come miles to see in courting days. The children, who are first in the loyal, honest hearts, that love them though they never have time to show it in any sweet way, meanwhile grow up. Maria wants to take music les sons, John wants to go to college; but father and mother think of the sznma count up the dollars it will cost, and de cide that i ivnimon school education is good enough for their children as it was for them. This only sometimes, and sel dom where the parents are Americans, born to the idea that the son may be president one day, and that, as we wrote- in oor copy-books, " Education is the life of liberty.” Oftener the music Means and the ooll.-ge course are nlli - -1, however the home econo mics are doubled; while it is iu oonntless little nun thaHnn lane A* nwnHM is stunted and crushed, and the children t. th.1*. of all unlovely, hard, i - ii-like ills,home i» tlu- *-.u»t so. ■ t,i bo sure, grim and rso. and it is only used -n».:is at a christening, moral.

Mr. Pinkney, of Slawson, bought a game rooster from a Danbury dealer Saturday. Air. Pinkney informs us that he was not aware the fowl was of the game species; he bought it because of it* shapely appearance. We believe thi-. statement, and are confident that tin- good people of Slawaon will acquit him of all blame in the unfortunate affair of hut Sunday morning, the particulars o; which are as follows: At the time the trouble commenced Mr. Pinckney was engaged in arranging his neck-tie pre paratory to putting on his vest and ocat. Happening to look out the window he saw his new rooster and a rooster belong- ing to the widow Rathhurn squaring oil in the street for a fight. Surprised anil pained by this display, he immediately started out to repel the disturbance, but was too late. When he got there half a dozen young ruffians with cigars in their mouths and evil in their eyes had sur rounded the birds which were already in the affray. They would thrust tneir heads out at oachtother and ruffle their necks and then dance nroond and strike out with their spurs and jump back ami thrust out their he-.uls again. And when the boys saw him they shouted out. Hurry np. baldy (Mr. Pinkney is u little bald), or you’ll miss the fun." Mr. Pinkney was inexpressibly shocked. It was Sun-lay morning; the homes of two of his deacons and several of his most prominent members were insight, and here were those roosters carrying on like iilad and a parcel of wicked and pro fane boys standing around shouting their approval and noisily betting on the result. He mode on effort to secure the fowl, but it eluded him. The perspiration streamed down his face, which burned like fire, his knee l trembled,and he felt os he saw the neighbors gathering, that if the earth would only open and swallow him lie could never be sufficiently gratefuL Just os he attempted to catch nis rooster a rough looking individual, with hia pants in hi* boots, and a cap with a drawn-down fore- piuoe, came, and taking in the scene at a glance, sided in with the other rooster. •• Fair play," shouted the new comer foi the benefit of the crowd, and “Don’t step on the birds, old codger,” for the particu lar benefit of Mr. Pinkney, who. crazed beyond reason, was jumping about, swing ing hia arms, and muttering incoherent things, to the great danger of stepping on the combatants. “Good for old Pink ney’s rooster,” screamed the boys in de light, iu that fowl knocked a handful of feathers from his opponent's neck. “The parson knows how to do it,” said a one- eyeil man gleefully. Mr. Pinkney could have swooned. "I'll go you five dollars on the Widder.” said the rough man, earnestly winking at the clergyman. “Toko him, Pinkuey; take him. Pink ney," uliorusel the crowd of ragamuffins. “My friends,” protested the unfortunate minister in a voice of agony, "I cannot, I cannot —.’’ “I’U back you, sir,” said nn enthusiastic man with a fish pole; “I’ll put up for you, and you can let me have it from your donation.” The clergyman groaned. “Catch the Widder,” shouted the rough man to Mr. Pinkney, indicating that lady's bin! by a motion of his finger. Mr. Pinkney clutched it. dropping on his knees as he did so. At the same time the rough man, by a dexterous move, caught the clergyman’s bird, and also dumped on his knees opposite. Just then Mr. Pinkney looked up. and there saw two of his dea cons and sovcral of the members staring down upon the scene with an expression that brought the blood to his face, and with a groan of intense pain the unhappy man dropped Mrs. Rathburn’s fowl and darted into the house. As soon as he re covered from his mishap he-sent in hia resignation; but as a critical examination hail been made in the meantime, and it transpired that as far as the worthy man was concerned there was not the least blame, the resignation was not accepted V. ... & . ; *'UiL A «?*•*• * .« - — - ' S, ;; pr-nZT’-r ;. • ' ’>> —AT— CENTRAL CITY PARK, MACON, GEORGIA TTos been before the American public OVER THIRTY years.

The Boston Post tolls the following story about a dinner at a famous Boston restaurant: “Such a fame as Taft's mokes dinner parties as innumerable as they are in viting. and it would bo unaccountable on the doctrine of chance alone, if there did not now and then befall a funny incident to give piquancy as well as substantial delights to the Point Shirlev entertain ment*. Taft tell* one that has just oc curred at hi* cosy quartern, but a sly wink given after the wispering was over enjoined the preservation of the t trictest incognito of all the parties concerned. It Imppened on the brightest and most de liciously cool day of the week, when the atmosphere and the ekios the-aselvo# seemed attuned to the event which was celebrated. Eight married gentlemen of eminently epicurean tastes ca ne togeth er and set their mind* upon having a dinner. There were four Englishmen and four Americans, all of whem had t<<sted the skill of cooks the world over. They wis'ae I lb have everything com plete. and going to Taft they ga.e him carta Mime A, for serving them up such a feast as they wanted. Preparations be gan forthwith, and all the resources and appliances of Taft’s cuisine were brought into requisition. But meanwhile the wives of the eight gentlemen got wind of the affair. They learned to their just indignation that their husbands were preparing for a grand feast for tSeirsole edification, and that eight plates only were to be laid at their table. Without waiting for an explana tion they dispatched a messenger to Taft's sad duplicated their husbands’ or der, to be served in a separate dining room. The bills of fare were to be iden tical, with the exception of rigors, and the strictest silence was snjoine.L Net even a hint or a whisper was to pass be tween the husbands and the landlord. The hoar appointed for the two linners came, and the husbands sat down to their dinner and the wives to theirs- The ta bles bore the results of Taft s unrivalled taste and skill, and nothing was ..mitted to make it complete in every detail. Fish, birds and all yielded their deBrioa: mouth- fuls, while the shining piste and excel lent service was tickling to every sens--. Not a word pa.--.sed between t .e spic- and-span dining-rooms.
