Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!
If a man’s down give him a thrust—
Trample the beggar into the dust!
Presumptious poverty's quite appalling—
Knock him over! Kick him for falling!
If a man’s up, oh, lift him up higher!
Your soul’s for sale, and he’s the buyer !
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket’s tlie worst of crimes!
I know a poor but worthy youth,
Whose hopes arc built on a maiden’s truth ;
•Rut a maiden will break her vow with case,
\Vhen a wooer conicth whose claims are these
-A hollow 'heart and an empty head,
A face well tinged with brandy red,
•A soul well trained in villainy’s school—
And cash, sweet cash—he knows the rule—
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!
I know a bold and honest man,
Who strives to live ou the Christian’s plan ;
Rut poor ho is, and poor will he,
A scorned, a hated wretch is he.
At Iranic lie rneeteth a loving wife,
Abroad he leadeth an upright life—
They struggle against featful odds
'Who will not bow to the people’s gods—
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes!
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!
So get ye wealth, no matter how!
“No questions asked’’ of the rich, I trow!
Steal by night and steal by day,
(Doing it ail iu a legal way,)
Join the church and never forsake her,
Learn to cant and insult your maker.
Be hypocrite, liar, knave, and fool,
But don’t be poor—remember the rule:
Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes !
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!

Two men disputing about the word

“How on earth do you manage?” in

A EATAL BUTTERFLY.
In this city there is a physician who
has won considerable fame from the suc
cessful cures he has made both in medi
cine and surgery. For some years past,
the doctor says, whenever one of his pa
tients dies, no matter where he is, svhat
time, day or night, a small white butter
fly comes directly to him, and flits about
until it has attracted his notice, when it
departs. The moment the doctor sees
the little winged messenger of death he
is at once made aware of the demise of
his patient ; and if at night the notice
comes to him he invariably remains in
his office in the morning in order to give
a certificate of death.
The first time the doctor ever saw this
butterfly was a few years ago, while he
was looking at the body of a dead child
which was very dear to him ; and the but
terfly alighted on the breast of the child
and there remained slowly raising its
wings up and down until the body was
closed up in its little coffin. A few even
ings since, while the doctor was attend
ing a patient in Clark place, the butterfly
entered the window and commenced flit
ting about the doctor’s head. He looked
up at it, and one of the ladies in the
room, thinking it annoyed him, said, “Oh,
leave it alone; it will soon burn its wings
by the blaze of the gas.” “No, it won’t,"
replied the doctor.
“It has come on a mission and will
soon disappear. I have just lost a pa
tient, and in the evening I shall be call
ed upon for a certificate of death.” Sure
enough the next morning the father of
the child that had died the night before
called on the doctor and notified him of
the loss of his little one. This is only
one of the many instances where the doc
tor has received this strange visitation
and kept a record of the circumstances,
besides that of calling the attention of
those present to the fact of the butterfly
warning of death among his patients.

WHEAT AND PHYSICAL VIGOE.
Nothing is more sure in the chemistry
of life than that the great bread-eaters
are the great thinkers, or that t-lic phos
phorous which wheat contains in the
outer kernel, immediately beneath the
husk, is the feeder of brains, and the
material substance AA'liieh provokes to
thought, study, reason, and all the forms
of nervous energy. There are physiolo
gists who attribute the remarkable suc
cess of States like Ohio, Indiana, and Il
linois to the bounty and perfection of
the wheat crop, and the intellectual stim
ulus, or rather food, which it affords the
brain. Certainly, no commonwealth in
the world has evinced a higher sense of
laAV and order, or more rapidly devel
oped a social system Avhich has hardly an
equal in the world. The constitution of
Indiana, for instance, the very centre of
the wheat zone, is, beyond comparison,
the best in the Union, and produces the
highest results in our civilization.
There is a southern wheat belt, which
includes Australia, in part of South
America, where a civilization equal to
that of the United States is growing up.
But the full value of wheat as a civil
izer Avill never be fully realized until
wheat-meal takes the place of bolted
flour, and the people learn to make bread
without yeast or risings.
Good bread is emphatically the “staff
of life,” but the commercial article is the

A SCARED BOY.
The Lewiston Journal say s that a pro
fessional man who hail long been pester
ed with candy boys, introduced one to
an inner room where there was amount
ed skeleton, saying that a fellow with a
sweet tooth was in the next room. Tlie
young peddler entering, Ids eye caught
the tall skeleton and tlie grinning skull,
aud with terror-stricken countenance he
dropped his candy-disli and stock of
trade entire, and ran out of doors as
fast as pallid fear and legs would carry
him.
The professional gentleman, fearing
he had carried the joke too far, with pity
in his heart, picked up the poor lad’s
Candy, and—himself a tall, lank person —
ran to the sidewalk with it, crying out,
“ Come back, boy; there's nothing he- e
to hurt you.”
“ Y r e don’t come that on me,” replied
the boy; “I know ye, ef ye have got
clothes on!"
The poet Longfellow, on one occasion,
was at a dinnnr party, at w hich Nicholas
Longworth was also present. Someone
remarked to Mr. Longfellow that his
name and Mr. Longworth’s commenced
alike, but made a dissimilar ending.
“Yes,” replied the poet; “and it affords
only another proof, I am afraid, that
worth makes the man, the want of it the
fellow.”

PUNCTUALITY.
John Quincy Adams was noted for his
habit of punctuality. Every duty was
performed promptly, at its proper time.
On one occasion, when the representa
tives were assembling in the capitol, the
clock struck twelve, the hour for busi
ness. One of the members said to the
Speaker, “It is time to call this House to
order.” “No,” said the Speaker, “Mr.
Adams is not yet in his seat.” The next
moment Mr. Adams entered, and the
House was called to order.

A lady returning from an unprofitable

she should do.”

®^^^^! EGETABLE SICILIAN
HAIR
Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. Wo
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create anew growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”
