' ~ ACHICKEN SWIMS,
LR ———
We have always heard it said
that a chicken could lot swimybat
h‘;} this ihstince the theory was ox
ploded. “Gpe day last week a hawk
dayged dgyn in Mr. Harris™ yard,
eaught a little chicken and flew off
across the tiver, Mapshall Pittman
saw the hawk - catch the
chicken and shot at him. No soon
er than he shot, the chicken was
dropped in the river. Secing it fall,
Mr. ]’itt_’glim} ran to the river, and
strange 19 gav, !1.1k)t.fl...1.t h\'cnt)" five or
thirty feet from {he bank, saw the
little fowl Zewiming with all its
might. He being amazed at the
sight, called several other gentle
men and waited to see what the re
sult would be. In a few minutes it
reached the bank and looked at the |
admiring lookers on as if to salute
them and receive their congmtulu-l
tions. It was carried to the house
and dried, gnd now it is the pertest
chicken " the ¥ard. ' That this:
chicken swam out of the riveris
not hear-say, butit is an actual
fact.—Franklin News.

The author o) the following remar

published about thirty years ago.
When the Igst hour cgines to me,
when in that upper chamber, long
hefore midnight, the flickering light “
burns lowly, and passing forms
noiseless, guickly, too plainly show
that deathis there ; when the bleak
winter’s wind whistles from without
or sends its melancholy moan
througl the lattice, alternating with
the groan of the dying; when the
softest thread 'zm'«l the slightest
whisper f;il! hr@_ésh]y u?i} the last
{sconc ; when feeling, gnd sight, and
taste, and speecly, are all gone but
immortal thougt, the more immor
tal as it fl}:il{t*s ‘:l\\_';l’\' its mortal
shackles, still lives in ifs freshness
of eternal youth ; in such an hour,
when U\iis'prcsout bodyv ghall have
wasted to a skeleton, this hand
palsied of th streegth, this eye
glazed with the film of the grave,
this cheek hlanched with the last
chill, this forehead—high and
white, and broad and clear now—
shall be thickly studded with the
dew-drops of death, and this tongue
falters out the last farewe]l to the
dear ores aroynd, g 0 long loved,
and labgred and cared for; when
such an hour cgmes to me, I want
to feel the ineffahle consolation
that something said or something
done, some line written, some sen
tence published, some page com
posed, some sentiment recorded,
shall live after me; which shall
in its influence, continue ta bencfit
and bless some candidate for the
skies to the last hour of recorded
time. Feeling thns, now"and here
tofore, I desire to rep at ot the Bi
ble that: A nation \§()uld be truly
bhappy lif it were governed by no
other laws than those of this book
It is so complete 2 system that
nothing can he addad to or taken
from it,
It contains everything needful to
be known or done, |
It affords a copy for aking and a
rule for a subject. 5
It gives instruétion and counsv]i
to a senate, authority and direc-!
tion to a magistrate. ;
It cautions a witness, requires
an impartial verdict of a jury, and
furnisles the jud_g_o. with his sen-.
tence, |
It sefs the hushand as lopd offlm'}
household, and the wife as mistress:
of the table : tells him how to fulog
and to manage. j
It entails power to parents and
enjoys ohedience on children. ;
It prescribes and limits the sway !
of sovereign, the rule of the ruler)
and the anthority of the master;
commands the subjects to honor!
and obey, and promises the pro
tection of the Almighty to all that|
walk by its rule. '
. Itgives direction for weddings
-It promises feod and raiment,:
and limits the ase of both.
It teaches 2 man’héw to set his
house in or order, "and how to
make his will ; 1t appeints a_dowry
for his wife, and entails €he right
of the first horn, and shows how the
vounger branches shall be Idft.
1t defends the right of all, and
reveals vengance to eyery default
er, ovgr-reacher and oppressor.
- It is the first book, the best hook
and the oldest book jn the world.
It comtains the c'hr;icest matter,
gives the pest instruction, affords
the greatest pleasure and entififa}c-!
tion that ever were enjoyed ; it con
tains the best laws and most pro:
fouhd mysteries shat pver were
penned ;! brings the best of tidings
and affords the best. of comforts to
the inquirhig and digconsolate.
It exhubits life and immortality
from everlasting, and shows the
way to gloggr, "
It is a brief pecital of all that is
past, and a certain pi‘cdibtidn of
all that is to come. *
It settles all mpatteys in dgbate,
resolyey all doukts, and cagy the
min‘q and ppl)ygjip;léu of all the

It reveals the only living and true
God, and shows the way to him,
and sets aside all other gods, and
deseribes the vapity of them and
all that trust in such; imehort, it is
a book of laws, to show right and
wrong ; a book of wisdony, that con.
demns al] folly and makes the fool
ish wise; a book of truth, that de
tects all ligs and ‘mnt'ut((js al] errors,
and a book of life, that shows the
way from cyerlasting dg}:fi,fij.
It is thg most gpllil')t‘fl"‘(i:}}};i hook

It contaipg the most ancient an

oceurrences, heroie deeds and un
prarclled wars. i
It describes the celestial, terres
tial aud infernal worlds, and the
origin of the angelic myriads, hu
man tribes and devilish legions.
It will instruet the accomplished
mechanic and the most profound
artist,
It teaches the best rhetorician,
and exercises every power of the
most skillful mathematician ; puz
zles the wisest apatomist, and ex
ercises the wisest eritic.
It corrects the vain philosopher
and confuses the wise philsgopher;
it exposes the subtle sophist and
i ln:lk(.‘H divines mad, ‘
It is a complete eode of laws, n
perfect body of divigity, an unequal
narrative, a hook of travels, a book
of lives, a book of voyages.
It is the best epvenant that ever
was agreed an-—the hest deed that
ever was sealed—the best evidence!
that ever wias produced—the best,
will that ever was signed ; to under
stand it was to he wise indeed; to
be ignorant of it is tg be destitute,
of wisdom.
It is the king's bgst copy, the
magistrate’s best rule, the house-|

It is tho ignorant man's dictiona
