The blood moves a little, and once in a while they take a breath, lithe weather is at ail mihi, they wake up enough to eat. Now isn't it curious that they know all this beforehand? Such animals always lay np wmiething to eat. just by their side,'wbeu they 0 'nl' their winter sleeping-places. Hut thoe that do not wake up never lay up any food, for it would not he used if thev did. lie little lield-ruouse lays up nuM and prain. It eats some when it is tartly awake : a warm day. The bat does not need t do this, for the fame warmth tnat wakes him, wakes all the insects on which lie feeds, lie atches some, and then eat". When lie is going to sleep aaiu he hangs himself up by his hind claw?. The woodchuek, a kind of marmot, dots not wake; yet he lays up dried ra.v near hib hole. What is it for, do you think? On purio-e to li3e it rea.lv the I'.rtt muiiinit he wakes in the Miring Then he can eat and be Stroit'? lefore lie comes 01t o( hit hole. JIow many things are sleeping in the winter! l'lants. too, as weil as animals. What a busy time thej- di have in waking up, a id lov little we think about it! The lluey-Kee. '(..olden I'ejs. Nowhere in the working of natural law in the lower order do we see more wonderful exhibitions ot instinct, nearly approaching to intelligence, than in the coinmo:i honeybee. This little creature is truly "fearfully arid wondorfully ma le." Take, for instance, the iVet of the common working lu e. They exhibit at one and the ante tin.e a basket, a brush and a pair of pincers. One of these articles, indeed, is a brush of extreme fineness, the hairs of which arranged in symmetrical runs, arc only to be Men w ith the mi-ro'ojH With this brush of fairy delicacy, the bee continually brushes its velvet robe, to remove the ol!en d::.f. with which it becomes loaded while rilling the flowers and sucking up their nectar. Another article, which is hollowed like a roon. receives all the jrleanin-rs which the inject carries to the hive. It is a punier for provisions. Finally, by opening them one upon another, by means of a hir.-xe, these two vietes become a pair of pincers, which render important service in the construction of the tombs, and it is with thorn that the bee lays hold of the seinioiicles of wax lielow itsabdonien, and carries them to its mouth. The mechanism of the sting is no les extraordinary. This weapon conistsof a sheath inclosing two needlc-shaid darts of exceeding fineness, placed side by side. Toward the oint they are armed w ith minute teeth like those of a saw, whence it happens that the bee is sometimes unabh- t withdraw this Iii tie javelin from the enemy it has pierced, for so dowerful is the impetus cf the sting that it will pierce even the thick Lr.man skin the twelth of an inch deep. When the stin? makes the wound.t he acrid 1-oL-on is squeezed in from the ba;; near its base, the structure and process being nearly identical with those of the poison faujrs of heints. Oniy the femaleand the neuters of stork inj bees have these formidable weapons, the males or drones being defenseless. Let us flaue at some of the exhibitions of wisdom shown by these little fellows which make ruc.h a buzzing throujli our gardens and hedges, and stand among all th insects its the nearest friends Taud familiars of man. When an enemy little to he dreaded sneaks into a hive of bees, the llrst sentinels that see it pierce it with their stinss, and in the twinkling of an eye the corpse is tossed out. Tlie work is not iutermpted for a moment. Rut if the intruder is a big, strong slug or norm, ul the workers are thrown into agitation. Thej all rally and uicrce the enemy with a hundred stings, lint what is to be done with such a heavj body? The little feet of all the tri!)e. would not soüice to stir the corpse, and the narrow loor of tne hive would not allow it to pass. Its putrid ordors would, however, soon infect tho co'ony. and develop the germ of some im a lady? How are they to escajK from this danger? The little republicans take counsel, and oute suddenly ta just such a rtsolutwa 83 they would have done if they had .thoroughly known one of the arts of ancient Egypt. as under the Pharaoh men etubafmel the corpse of animals either with a relioua view, or to preserve themselves froni lecay so all the bees now set to work to cm halm the dead animal, the preface of whkb is a menace (3 tL Fcr tli bu'n,, the workers scatter theru-..-! about the country in order to gather the resinous matter which cMuis to the vl33. for this ia what renlar.a Ll;-ktTi t- and aloes I med by the un'dertakers of the Nile. - l The bees closely envelop the dead with this in the form of little liileta, Rfil dcIosit all around it a thick, solid ljj'elrk "which prtterves it from putrefaction, I Weddlat. fJimniy trovn. tQ aVper-a Yo.inr Pcople.l t?ue onght to cave been Vaarrie a long while ago.

Travers. When I think that if it ha In ' 'n for a mistake I .made she would have "been married yesterday, I find it dreadlnlly l.ard to be resigned. But we ought alwavs to be resigned to everything when we can't lielp it. before I go any further I must te'l about iy printing press. It belonged to Tom Mcjinnis. but be got tired of it and sold it to me real cheap. He was going to offer to x hange it for a bicycle, a fct. Bernard dog, and twelve good books, but he finally let me have it for a dollar a half. It prints beautifully, and I have printed cards for ever so many people, nnd made $.'.70 already. I thought it would lc nice to be able to rnnt circua bias in case loru ana I thould ever have another circus, so I sent to the city and bought wyte tyie m ore nan - inch high, and some beautiful yellow paTr. . . . . . iJtst wek it was finally ngreed that S-ue and Mr. Travers should be married without naitins any longer. You should have seen what n s? a Us of mind she and mother wero in Tliey did nothing but buy new clothes, and tew, and talk utout lie wedding a.I

of.p. She was determined to, be married in tliytrli, and to r.are six bndema.ds and six bridegrooms, and flowers and music and things , till you rouldn't rest. The only thing that troubled her was making up her mind who to invite. Mother wanted her to invite Mr. aud Mrs. McFadden aud the feven fcFadden irirls, but Hue said they had insulted her, and she couldn't bear the idea af asking the McFadden tribe. Everybody agreed that old Mr. Wilkinson, who oace came to a party at our house with one toot and one slipper, couldn't be invited; but it was decided that every one eise that was on ood terms with our family should have an invitation. Sue counted up ail the people she meant to invite.and there was nearly three humlrod of them. You would hardly believe it, but she told me that 1 must carry around all the invitations and deliver them myself. Of course I couldn't, do this without "neglecting my studies and losing time, which is always precious, so I thought of a plan which would save Sne the trouble of directing three hundred invitations and save me from wasting time in delivering them. J pot to work with my printing press, and printed a doen splendid big bills about the wedding. When they were printed I rut a lot of small pictures of animals and ladies riding on horses out of some old circus bills and pasted them on the wedding bill-. They were perfectly gorgeous, and you could see them in good places all over the village. The next afternoon father came into the house looking very stern, and carrying one of the wedding bilisin his band. He handed it to ue and said: "Susan, what does this mean? These bills are josted all over the village, and there are crowds cf neople reading them " Siue read the bill, and then she gave au awful shriek and fainted away, and I hurried down to the poitofhce to see if the mail had come in. This is what was on the wedding bills and I atu sure it was spelled all riht; Miss Susan Brown ar.nour.ee that she will raatry Mr. Jenies Travers at tfce Cburch ne.t Thursday at half past seven, sharp. Ml the Friends of the Family With the exception of the McKadiicn tribe aixl old Mr. Wilkinson are invilel. ( onie early and bring IU of Flowers. Now what was there to find fault with in that? It was printed beautifully, and every word was spelled riht, with the exception'of the name of the Church, and I didn't put that in because 1 wasn't quite sure how to spell it. The bill saved Sue all the trouble of sending out invitations, and it said everything that anybody could want to know about the wedding Anv other girl but sjue would have lecn pleased, and would have thanked me for my trouble, but she was as angry as if I hail done something real bad. Mr Travers was almost as angry as Sue. and it was the first time he was ever angry with me. I am afraid now that he won't let me coii.e ami live with him. He hasn't said a word alut my coming since the wedding bills were put up. As for the wedding, it has b-en put !V, and .Sue ays she will go to New York to be married, for she would ierfectly die if she were to have a wedding at home after that boy's dreadful conduct. What is worse, 1 am to be sent away to boarding school, and all because made a mistake in printing the wedding bills without first asking Sue how she would like to have them printed BBLIGIUUS UlTKLUUKMCB AND INCI-DKNT.

The l'oc looked weari-d. '1 he Pev. Phillips Ilrooks is al-out to publish tl e sernions w hich lie preached in the various rack" Churches of lndon last season. It was the late Dean Stanley who first introduced to London Church goers, by asking him to preach at one special Sunday evening wrvice in the nave of Westminster A bbey. Spurgeon's Tabernacle is now reopened for worship, after having been closed for extensive repairs. Spurgeon does not believe much in choirs, organs, or cornets. He says that some Churches have paid more attention to the choir than to the preaching. He believes that if lod had meant teople to be con verted in that way he would have sent them a command to attend music halls and operas, for thtrc they can j;et. better music than the Church can hoM to give them. He says that "an orj:an is nowadays thought to be the power ol God, and the choir is a tine substitute lor the Holy Ohost. They have tried that kind of thing in America, where solo 11 :td quartets enable singing men and singing v omen to divide their services between the U.urch and the theater." The recent official publication of the statistics of several of the greatest denominations has been followed by considerable criticism ou the part of some of the knowing ones, who claim that the figures are not so accurate as they ought tobe. The trouble is not with the oflicialsof the Hoards publishing the records, but rather with the pastors aud church scribes who send loo-e!y-ma!e reports of membership. It is tho 11 cht that in mauy quarters there, is much carelessness as to church rolls . These rolls arcoiten discovered as calling for.a large number of members than can be found toaiiswcr to their name. Many pastors forget to mark off the names of those w ho die or move away. In thesecases there is no intent to deceive, but the remit is the same as if the errors were intentional. There is a loud call for the exercise of greater care. ' A severe criticism on the habits of certain theological students is uttered by one of the most conservative of the religious papers. It is well known that in most theoloeical i'ililiLitriC? students are allowed" to prac0 01 me Lcarcrs n seems '.hat 'in many stances the students would go on the late tram on Sunday cveohig, thus compelling tboe who met thcru at the statin to travel after night, and frequently it would be midnight before ttey got ready to retire. Then tome 01 ttVe same students would return to in?, CjtJ tjji the train on Sabbath afternoon. TttV.f.er instances thry came from th? city Vli Sahfcath morning, preached, theii hurried back, not even staying for Sabbath school, for fear they would miss the train. Can they plead that their conduct is prompted by the works of necessity and of mercy?' " The argument w hieb follows on this statement is that, as the Student are guilty of setting a bad example, of encouraging Sabbath-breaking cor 1 o rations, and of "stretching the Fourth Commandment." therefore the theological seminaries ought to be prayed for that the students be brought to a right state of mind.

"The minister explained to me yesterday how you caused him and your father to lay and soak in the water for about three hours, one hot day last summer, in the lake, and they both blistered tbeir backs. The minister says tho skin has not stopped peeling off his shoulders yet What caused you to play such a mean trick on them?" "Oh, it was their own fault," said the boy, as lie looked with disdain on a watermelon that was out of season, and bad no charms Jn October. "You see, the night the sociable was at our house, the minister and some of the deacons were np in my room, which they used that night for a smoking room, and while they were smoking they were telling stories about what fun they had when they were boys, and I remember one story the minister told of finding some girls in swimming once, and stealing their clothes, and making them wait till night, and then a girl bad to fix herself up with newspapers and send a wagon after the rest of the girls. The minister thought it was awful canning, so when the Church had the picnic last summer on the bank of the lane I remembered it. Beat's all, don't it, how a boy will remember anything like tlat? Well, after dinner I tavr j a whisper lo the minister, and they

took a couple of towels and a piece of soan, and started off up the lake about half a mile, and I knew they were goinu in swimming. Well, it don't take me very long to catch on 'I got an overdress that one of the girls liad been wearing to wash dishes, and a shawl, and stole a hat belonging to the soprano of the choir, and a red parasol that a girl left under a tree, and 1 weut dowu iu the woods and put on the clothes over my pants and things, and when pa and the minister had got in the water and were swimming around, 1 put up tbe parasol and tripped along the shore like a girl picking flowers, and when I came to the stump where they put their clothes I didn't look toward the water, but acted tired and sat down on the stump and began to fan myself. You'd .1 died to see pa look. He crawled up on the beach in the shallow water and sa d. "Klder, do yon see that?' The elder looked, with hisself all under water except his head, and said: "Merciful goodness, squire, we are in lor it. That interesting female is i)iug to sit there and read a novel through before shs goes away.' I eeked through tbe fan and could see all they said while 1 pretended to read a novel. They swam around aid made a noise, but I was deaf, and I thought It wasn't any worse for me to sit on the stump than it "was for the minister, w hen he was a good little boy, to steal the clothes of the girls. I stayed until I got tired, and didn't hear them when they hollered to me to go away. and after a while they got water-soaked and had to do something, so the minister broke oil a piece of a tree and dressed himself in if, and came up to me and said. 'Madam, excuse me for troubling you. but if you will go away while I get my clothes I will take it as a favor.' 1 pretended to be insulted, and got up aud walked oil" very iudicnant, and went back to the picnic and returned the clothes, and pretty soon they came up, looking as red as if they had been drinking, and the picnic was ready top) home. Somebody told pa it was lue. but I don't know who it was that gave it away. Anyhow, lie chased mc clear out of the woods with a piece of sapling. That las the time I told you I was too tired to ride, and walked home from the picnic. Pa has forgiven me. but I don't believe the minister ever will. Don't you thiuk some of these pious folks are awful unforgiving' "Oh, people are not at all as good as you and 1 are," said the groceryman, as he watched the boy making a sneak on a bunch of grains. A Remarkable Incident. I Col. Jotin M. Tattou. I am much interested in the diffusion and penetration of sounds, as illustrated by the inability to hear the rolling of a train of cars passing at the distance of half a mile; and the distinct audibility of the same train after it had increased its distance from the hearer to two miles. The fact that the phenomenon was uniform and independent of the direction of winds and other atmospheric conditions (if 1 understood aright) gave increased interest to it. The explanations given at various times by Mr. Tyndall in his report on fog horns, fog bells, steam whistles, etc., and the explanations given by others, leave us in doubt whether the resonant qualities of superficial soils or sub-soils, the varying densities of adjacent airstrata, or the funnel or other shaped contour of the country one or all may give the true solution of it. I have n'ot understood yoa in the "Problem" or The Microcosm, to object specially to any particular solution of it, whether propounded by Mr. Tyndall or others; but only to claim tbat tbe wave theory could not so satisfactorily adapt itself to any solution as could that of substantial emanations of sound, by a law of conduction of its own. This paper is not designed to propound any view of the matter, nor to discuss any already propounded; lut simply to provoke from you some explanation, whether more or less satisfactory of an incident more remarkable, I think, than any mentioned by Mr. Tyndall. Indeed some people may think it rather a "hard story." Tone sure of the correctness of the facts, I consulted with Dr. P, A. Lewis, assistant surgeon of the regiment to be mentioned presently, and himself distinguished as a teacher of natural science, by whom the facts to be stated are fully verified. On the loth day of July, isol, the 21st Virginia Pegiment of infantry (afterwards attached to the famous division of "'Stonewall" Jackson, and serving under him till the close ol his career) left Kichmond on the cars for Staunton, Ya, After halting at Staunton fur a day or two. it marched westward for Huntersville in Pocahontas County. About o o'clock, p. m.. on the 21st day of July, they went into camp about two day's march west ol Staunton and immediately after they heard distinctly the roar of cannon. So constant, distinct aud apparently near were the discharges of batteries and single guns that the Colonel of the regtmeut was convinced that a Confederate force not far on" was engaged in battle with Koseerauz near McDowell, and rode to the top of Shenandoah Mountain, where he met with several persons, who informed him that all was quiet in front of Kosecranz. The next day the regiment pursued its march westwardly; and beinn now out of reach of railroads and telegraphs, it was more than a week before they heard any explanation of the artillery fire, when they learned tkat on that day occurred the great battle of Manassas, and that there had been no fighting anywhere else. It was impossible to doubt that the sound of the guns heard be hem came from that battle-field. Now it is to be observed that this regiment was then in the midst of the Alleghany Mountains, the Blue Bidge range of mountains, and "Southwest range" least of the Blue Ridge and parallel to it, at an average distance of 2"000 miles) both ittervened between the hearers and Manassas, and that the distance between the two points in an air-line is about 140 or 150 miles, as may be seen on any good map or atlas. 1 afterwards learned from various people living between the two points, at a distance of from .10 to 40 miles and upwards from Man.issas that these guns were not heard iu their county. !h audition id theje facts, I have been informed reliably ami responsibly that at a later period of the war, tbe guns of the battle at or near "Harrisou's Unding ' on James Kivcr, were "distinctly audible ' at

Amherst Court House in virgmia a instance ot about l- miles but tor this, iast fact 1 can 110 Vo'dCn, tor the other. J am well aware that any solution of such phenomena, must, in the present state of ourknowledge.be more or less speculative, and would depend on many conditions as to soil, contour of country, atmospheric conditions, etc.. which 1 can not supply.

THE "BUNKO" HIN IN PAHI3.

How Odp or Tweed IlerKlimen Works the fiasie. Billy Cook's Career in Paris, and How He Rnine! Young Tweed A (Gambling Club for Amtrkauii, Paris, Oct. 1. The "bunko" man has male his appearance in the French Capital. To a partial extent oniy has his game been a success as yet The probabilities are that it will never be m successful a method of swindling as it has been in New York. The Paris police haven't that feeling of friendliness toward them disciples of "Hungry Joe" that, superficially at least seems to exist between them and the police of New York City. Encouraged, 1 presume, by tbe success they have met with in "working" visitors to your side of the Atlantic from various European countries, notably in the case of the now short-haired and wholy 11 n picturesque aesthetic Oscar Wilde, two expert bunko men came here fresh from New York successes. Their game was directly. Englishmen, incidentally, Frenchmen and the credulous of any nationality. Two young Englishmen with asuperfiuous amount of money and a very limited atuoir.it of brains became very easy victims to the wiles of these sharpers. Both of them did what was to be expected of them. They complained to the police, or "squealed," as you very expressively term such a performance. Tho success of their game was duly chroo icled in the Daily News and the American Pegister. our purveyors of news in the English language here. It cost one of these young Englishmen 4.000f, to learn the mysteries attaching to the latest importation from America. The other escaped with a loss of about one-half that amount. The olice of Paris being more vigilant than are the members of tho Broadway Squad, and the laws bei tig much more promptly and rigidly enforced, the bunko men temporarily ceased operations. But they have begun again, reinforced in numbers and confident of their ability to outwit the authorities. The particular interest attaching to the arrival of these men here, so far as New Yorkers are concerned, isthat it brings to tbe front the once notorious "Billy" Cook He will lie remembered as one of the followers of the late Boss Tweed Two indictments for forgery repose in the pigeon-holes of the District Attorney's office in your city, unless they have been disposed of with other waste paper." Cook was brought lnto-promi-pence by his connection with Tweed in the ballot-box stuffing in the Sixth Ward, he operating it was said, under the direction and control of I'ol ice Justice Joseph Howling and Tweed himself. So nseful were his services that Tweed made him Deputy Superintendent of Repairs and Supplies in the lloard of Public Works, which enabled him to perpetrate frauds which are popularly sup posed to have netted him .2Ö0,( X. That sum. or a considerable amount of it, he brought with him to this city. With it be entered what is known as the "betting ring." He was but moderately successful, however, and his talents for the past few years have been devoted to fleecing Americans. His plan has been to form the acquaintance of American strangers in a strange laud, and. on the pretense of making their visit to Paris pleasante'", introducing them to the American Club. This is in reality but a gambling house conducted on the most approved American plan. Short cards, coid decks, concave and convex cards, and the sanded back decks for faro are tbe appliances. The American once introduced, his plucking is a matter of but .1 ver short time. Cook's profit comos from a division of the siKiils with the ex pert gamblers who run the Club. Of late Cook has been brought into notoriety among those who know of him by the fact that his wife had separated from him for the second time. He married an actress named Moore, a beautiful woman with many personal and mental attractions. This second separation occurred but a short time apro, and some people are invidious enough to sav that it has grown out of the fact that Cook's heavy losses in his gambling operations of late and his dissolute habits have made him a less agreeable and desirable companion than he was when his money was more plentiful. In order to recoup his fallen fortunes Cook is reported to have imported tbe bunko men to this city, and is now generally accredited with being their backer, lie must be in great financial straits w hen he resorts to this dangerous method for winning back his fortune and his reputed to be extravagant wife. . Our portion of tbe American colony attribute the downfall of young Tweed to Billy Cook's influence. Tweed is now the inmate of an Insane Asylum in the city, and it is currently reported that his mental derangemeht is of such a character as to preclude the possibility of his recovery. Coming here with a considerable amount of money, young Tweed is now so reduced financially tbat he is a veritable pauper. He was quite intimate with Cook, and under his tutelage was introduced to the laysteries of horse racing, gambling en the Bourse and to the various games of cards used to relieve young Americans and Englishmen who have more money than brains, of their superfluous cash. Cook is supposed to have fastened himself upon young Tweed, after the fashion of a leech, and to have obtained from him the greater portion of his money. At all events Tweed's money is gone and Cook had plenty when he had young Tweed as his protege. The complete downfall of Cook Is deemed a certainty at 110 far distant day, now that he has fallen back on the gambler's last resort bunko. His fall would not be great ly regretted among the Frenchmen, Englishmen and Americans here who count themselves among his victims. Commercial Travelers. MppluCuU's Masaiue.l What an annv they have become in the last score of years! 2So passenger train, east or west, is ever without its representatives of this popular class, so well known ty their hcavr traveling bags and ponderous trunks, that rival ill size tbe famed "Saratogas," and better still by their easy manners, well-dressed aipearance, and man-of-the-world air. The cares of their profession seem to rest lightly upon them, and the anxietiesacasuat traveler experiences about time tables,-unexpected stoppages, meals, and so forth, never distuib their tranquillity.. If a train is snowed up on the prairie, with a prospect of remaining stationary for a day or two, everybodr else will get into a nervous excitement and' run about hither and . thither, making absurd suggestions to the train men, asking absurb quest iotiSi and offering to help. But the traveling man exchanges good humored witticisms with the conductor, ingratiates himself with the engineer, or quietly smokes his cigar on the rear platform, contesses himself bored, but keeps his temper, and finally takes out his tablets and writes a heartrending account of his hardships to "The House," smiling to himself, and knowing that "The House" will smile too, more ruefully than he. The average traveler has few aspirations outside of his profession. He has a comfortable salary and 110 fear of getting out of emtilovment for the openings in his line are countless. If lie is married, he has a heavy insurance ou his life. Besides, there is a fascination in the business hard to shake off after one has got accustomed to its peculiar features and activities the constant change from day to day ; a shake of the social dice box, and a familiar face coming tin once a month; tbe cordial welcome of a favorite landlord as he opens his doors to what he considers his best customers, because they always have ready money and well filled cigar cases; the picking up ot general and local news on the trains and in the towns and villages, and even the rumbling a id UngUig-of the cft'5 over poorly ballasted

roads; short rides between "points;" a short "stop ofT;" up and away scant ; always goodraturel. never in a hurry, and never behind time; meeting each other with a cordial hand-shake and the oQ'er of a cigar; passing and re-passing, with an exchange of nods from car windows; journeying together and clubbing, half a dozen, j perhaps, at some favorite hotel over Sunday; entertaining each other; attending whatever amusement are at hand; playing a game of billiards, if there is a decent table, for they are fastidious; and in fine, doiDg their best to make life pass pleasantly. The profession has greatly risen in dignity in the past decade. Young men of fine abilities and aspirations toward higher but less Incrative pursuits have stepped into it bebecause it is easy of access and pays well, and tinally.beeoining reconciled to it, when they sec their former comrade fighting poverty iu law chambers or a doctor's office, have given it a certain tone among the many businesses of this fertile age. Its followers form a respectable and weli-organized corps in the great body politic: one that has mutual life insurance companies, and a free masonry indicated to the public in o-casional banquets and other social entertainments under its acknowledged ausph-es, and by tbe Ostracism of a member at rare intervals for some unlucky breach of etiquette.

LOG-ROLLING.

While Wrestling With a Kalleu Tree t Lumberman Iteceiies Consequential Dam ngea. While on a hunting excursion in the treat coal and wood I region ot Carbondale. Pa., the writer met V iUiam Cod, a lumberman. Accustomed to life and labor in the forests from early manhood, he was a true Knight of tbe Axe. Many a tree had fallen before his ringing strokes, and fleets of rafts have borne away to market the aiwed products. Coil iabaracter,and if Oscar Wilde is right in saying all movements in uuhindred labor are cracefuJ, our friend William, stripped for his work, and attacking a tree as Kichard I. assaulted the heavy doors of Front de Boeurs Castle, must haTe presented an admirable picture. One day, however but let him tell the story binne'f as he told it to me: "I was out In the woods, you know, trying to start a log dowu a hill. Thinking I could get a better purchase on it from the lower side. I tackled It there with my log-rolling hook and threw my weight on the lever. She started, she did, bat as luck would hare it, before I txmld got out of the way she rolled right over mc. If it hadn't been for alotef small limbs and brush lying in the road, which liftel her up, she'd "a crushed me flat. As it was got up without a broken bone, but with some mighty bad bruises." "Then you were all right," said the auSitor. 'Not by a blamed sio'ht, stranger. I look cold, rheumatism set in. and if I hadn't heard of BEXSON'S CA I VINE lVIItorS PLASTEP.S and used 'cm, it's ray opinion I houll never have made another clr'p fly. but the Captine took hold quick, and I'm abont as Kood as new. But there's one thing you kin calculate on I shall never wrasUe with another log unless I have the advantiye of the ground ; fur. as 1 told yon before. If it hadn't been ior them brushes I'd been smashed so you could 'a sold me for a door mat. The Cicine is the thing for rheumatism. It docin t keep you waiting.
