so I had to griniind bear her sharp-pointed

the range of her telescopic vision and took 1
her flight to astronomical regions, nnd I
have finally convinced my wife that she

rising as Pillsbury sat down, “point of or

subject of the evening- hot summers?”
“Well," said Pillshurv, “Ifthat wasn’t a
hot summer for me 1 don’t know any
thing.”
“Tile chair,” said the president, with a
retrospective sigh, “rules tint the story is
within the limits of the subject.”
The members did not appeal from the
d. etsion.
The streets over two hundred feet wide
are mcadamized for perhaps twenty feet
wide, while the balance is grass kept eloso

arches overhead. Many of the houses are

of the thermometer taken morning, noon

years only one or two times has it reached

THE SAILING FACILITIES
are good. For fifty cents an hour one can

of work and the writer has but little taste
for work which brings in no shekels, we
leave that for others to enjoy. Having
finished our visit,we take the
CARS FOR HARTFORD
and dash along up the valley of the Con
necticut at thirty milesan hour, at the cost
of two cents a mile. Towns are thickly
strewn along the banks of this river, but a
scarcity of names must have prevailed at
their naming, judging from the repetition
—ad Haddan, Fast Haddan, West Haddan,
South Haddan, North haddan, Middle
Haddan, Old Haddan, and New Haddan.
At Middletown we see the state asylum for
the insane, a magnificent institution,
and at Weathersford the state prison,
where are confined criminals at hard labor
for all crimes less than murder, but for
that offense the clergy generally manage
to swing them directly into heaven to pass . . _
an eternity of happiness among the | whoie-world-go-round sort of a way, and
prophets, saints and martyrs. Forty years heaving sighs. One day my wife saw her
ago quite a fleet ot brigs and schooners and said to me:
‘‘Has any gentleman anything to say
about hot summers?” asked‘tile president.
“1 shouldn't wonder,” said Harry i’ills-
bury, slowly rising and brushing his blonde
bang oil' his ioreheud, “if I could toll
about one of tile hottest days ever
known.”
“Well, we want to hear about hot sum
mers,” suggested the president.
“This day was tiie beginning of a very
hot summer,” said Pillsbury.
“1 think we can admit it then. Proceed,
Mr. Pillsbury.”
“In order to understand this story you
must know that my wife is in the habit of
calling me Pill for short. Her mother, who
is a very superior sort of a woman—that
is, superior to such commonplace
things as taking care of a house and navi
gating bailies, but who is perf ectly at home
in an Indian mission meeting or a Chinese

her in this poetic fa miliarity. My wife
says she calls me Pill because I’m sugar-
coated, and a sure cure for all the ills inci
dent to humanity: but my mother-in-law
says she calls me Pill because I’m hard to
take, and a whole box of such as I am
would cost only a quarter. Well, In the
summer that I am talking of we had a
good-looking servant girl, and she was
stage struck. If you ever have a stage
struck servant girl I would advise you to
boycott her on the spot. Well, tiiis girl
used to imagine that she was Pauline and
Julia, and Romeo and Juliet and several
other moss-covered antiquities of the
tragic drama all at once. I don’t know
what I had ever done to the blamed girl,
because I never spoke to her at all, but
she got struck not only on the stage, but
on me. Well, she was always gazing at
me in a sort of love-thatrmakes-the

were brought to Hartford, aud thence
shipped down.the river with other yankee
products of industry, and in return brought
back cargoes of molasses and rum for the
delectation of the deacons and the farm
laborers. But steam has cnauged all that,
while with increasing wealth the Widow

“ ‘I don’t know, my dear,’ I answered,
‘but I fear that Laura has been plucking

“This seemed to satisfy my wife for a
time. But one day she came into the par

who was dusting the furniture, stared after
me and murmured:
“ ‘Perdition catch my soul but I do love
thee.’

a little violation of the tenth command-

Pardon or not, most people break it.
However, if some must have while others

have. For no deserving ease of need goes
unassisted if brougut to her knowledge,
and none who know her can have any fears

LITTLE TOWN OF NORFOLK.
Being nearly 1500 feet elevation, it has be
come a favorite summer resort. A delight-
bu ride by rail of two hours, through a
mountainous country of surpassing beauty
and fertility, brought us there. Numerous
towns, some of five and six thousand in
habitants, are passed. The fields are large
and promised faithfully that she would
not act any more. My mother-in-law was
too generous to accept the sacrifice and
1 wanted to insist on her going forth to put
I tlie world at her feet, but m.v wife was
I willing to lei her stay, and so, in the end,
' she staid.
“I was sorr.v that Laura had not gone
forth, for 1 felt certain that ail was not

to have an outlet, so she took to writing
poetry. That was all very well as long as

Tiie polite child is the latest in the juve
nile world. She was strolling around the
neighborhood on a tour of observation
when she came across a colored man sit
ting on a door-step. She stood with her
finger in her mouth, looking at him. Fi
nally she said:
“You're a colored man. ain’t you?"
“You’re very polite, miss,’’ he said.
“Yes, I am a colored mail.”
“Oil, yes. I’m very polite. 1 cal) every

The children at Fort L. were one day
holding forth upon the belongings of their
respective mammas. “My mamma's got
I a beautiful silk dress,” etc. The climax was
reached when one of the number ex
claimed: “Well, anyhow, mine’s got the
redheadedest baby iii the post.”
Four-year-old Belle had been watching
Tom, the cat, squeeze through a very
small hole under the house. “Oh, mam

Tom! He just mashed and went under!”
One summer evening after Harry and his
little sister Helen had been put to lied a
severe thunder-storm came up.
Their cribs stood side by side, mid their
mother, in the next room, heard them as
they sat up in bed and talked, in low
voices, about the thunder and lightning.
They told eaeli other their fears. They
were afraid lightning would strike them.
They Wondered whether they would be
killed right off and whether the house
would be burned up. They trembled
afresh at each peal.
But tired nature could not hold on as
long as the storm.
Harry became very sleepy, and at last
with renewed cheerfulness in his voice, he
said, as he laid his head on the pillow:
“Well, I’m going to trust in God.”
Little Helen sat a minute longer think
ing it over, aud then laid her own little
head down, saying, “Well, I dess I will,
too!”
And they both went to Bleep without
more words.
“What queer notions children get into
their heads,” said a suburbanite last even

and she came home full of tiie idea that ;
she must carry some pennies with her next
Sunday.
“ ‘No more pennies for candy, papa,’ she
exclaimed: ‘they must all be saved for the
Sunday school.’
‘“And what do they do with the pennies
at Sunday school?’
“ ‘Oh, they send them up to God.’
“ ‘And what does God do with them?’
“ ‘Oh,’ she said after a moment’s hesita
tion, ‘he throws them up again to see the
little children scramble for them. That’s
the way he has fun.’ ”
LEMON ELIXIR.

Robert Station, Jones County, Ga.,
June 20th, 1884.—By the recommendation
of Rev. C. C. Davis I used Dr. Mozley’s

failed. Five bottles of Lemon Elixir made
