A truer and better signboard
Than over you bad before.
I will paint with the skill of a master,
And many shall pause to ace
Tbi* wonderful piece of painting,
So liko tl.o reality.
I will paint yourself, rum seller,
As you wall for that young boy,
Just In tbe morn of maubood,
A mother’s pride and joy.

But you greet Win with a smile,
<ind you seem so blithe and friendly,
That he pause* to chat awhile.
I will palut you again, rum seller,
I will paint yon s.s you staud
With a burning gluu of liquor
Held out in cither band,
lie wavers, but you urgo him,
'-Driak! plvdgit me just this one!’’
And be lift* the gla.<« and drains it,
Then the fatal work Is done.
And I next will paint a drunkard;
Only a year has flown,
But into tUla loatbsomo creature
The fair young boy has grown.
The work was quick and rapid;
I will print him as he lies
In n torpid drunken slumber
Under the wintry skies.

As she kneels hI her darling’s side—
Her beautiful boy that was dearer
Than all the world beside.
I will paint the shape of a collin
Labeled with one word-“Loil!”
I will paint all this, rum seller,

Wait for Me, Papa.
A strong man lay upon his tleatli
ed in full po&osaion of his facul
ties, hut rapidly approaching that
cnown ecu.’* II is little (laugh*
ter, the pet.and baby, rat by the
bed holding hi* hand in hers, and
begging him to “Jet up and do
walking.” The dying man looked
Iut with eyes whoso love was

i falicting voice
I’upa must go a long—papa must

l’ho litt'e one slipped from

hr'ef space tho father had In com.

and whispered to her:
"Ilush, pa; a is going!”
Then there rang out the sad
wailing cry ls tho child h«ld
her pleading arms:
“Wait for me, papa.”
The dying nun opeued his eyes,
looked at his little daughter with o
smile, and framed some words in**
audible to mortal ears, and so enter

him l-eyoud nmon and stars the
hut echoes of his darling’s voice.
Tho Premium Boy.
E. P. Roc says that the mostim
portant crop that tho farmer can
p 1 ssibly raise is tho hpy. This is
true without any question, aud yet
strangM as it may seem, there arc
other department* of agriculture
tint often rcceire more attention
than th*s crop doe*. Every pro.
greuivQ farmer who owns fino
stock is anxious that people should
admire it. Ho will sjiend weeks
and weeks of hard earnest thought
and labor that ho wuy proparo an
il for the fair. He is anxious
to have the people toll him that be
is the uwut of the premium ox or
cow cr calf. Yet how many farm
ers care to have people say “yours
is ttc premium boy. He is the
sharpest, smartest, best boy in tho
neighborhood,” It is a tad fact
that many farmers are not willing
to give as much time to the train*
ing of their boys as they give to
tho Lrceding and rearing of their
cattle.—Sout/urn Live Stock

Bill Arp on Politics in Atlanta
Constitution.
Politics is on a boom. Fifty
millions of people are going to
choose a president, and it looks like
most everybody is in a good humor
about it. I am, and so are my na-
bors. There b&sen’t been a timo
since tbe war that tho people felt
so easy about an election as they
do now. The nation is sate. Both
of the great paftks will put up
their best men and there is not
much of principle or policy to dh
vido thorn. The country is pros-
perous. Wo are all doing pretty
well, better than any other uation
of pcoplo on tho globo. Thore is
a good, humble, old-fashioned
preacher not far away who always
prays, ** We thank thee, oh, Lord!
that wo livo iu a land of freedom,
where the gospoi is dispensed with.
We thank thee that wc have a plat
and grant and a clear chain of ti»
ties to a held iu the promised land.”
Well, wo know what tho old man
means, and it is ull right. I wish
wo nil could road our litlo clear to
mansions in tho 6kic*. Land is
cheap ctiougli down hero on the
top 6ido of tbi* green earth, but
Pin afraid wo will find it very dear
up yonder. This is a Messed
country for tho poor. Wo can’t
realize how blessed until wo road
about tho old world mid talk to
people who have traveled tliero.—
Just thiuk of land renting for $00
nu aero in England and $10 in
Germany. Just think of tho nv»-
erngo laborer working twolvo boors
for forty cents and boarding him
self. No wonder they keep com*
ing over here, and they would
linoHO the south instead of the
lorth and we-it if they were not
fooled by those agents who arc paid
ork for tho railroads and got
settlers for tin ii lands. The south
got no agents. Wo tried to
establish agencies of immigration
o had pamphlets jointed
telling all ah ut our ilnnate sum!
duet ions mid the lir.it thing wc
knew them follows up north Imd
great big mojo* printed and stuck
up everywhere sh ovingtiio Dismal
swamp to extend from Virginia to
i'oxas- Nearly all ot Georgia is
covered with it. Well, our folks
couldent make tho foreigners ho-
lievu hut that it was all so and they
wouldcnt coiiio. Those n rthern
rascals have been swindling
a bundled years by nil sorts of
trick* uud devices. Hut wc will
get even with them after while —
>c« if wo don’t. The timo wax
whon wo hud statesmen of princi
ple for ocr presidents and cabinets.
Who ever heard of a president
plundering I l.o government
ing mixed up in any moneyed
scheme before tho war? Tho war
seems to have corrupted tho wh do
yankec nation mid made stealing
respectable. How came all these
charges against Grant and Garfield
and Ilaycs and Arthur, and all
thoio chops connected with the
Credit Mobilier and tho railroad
subsidies and tbe star route trans
actions-? There wero no Houthorn
men in those schemes.
Hut what surprises tuc now is to
sco a big lot of them fellow* up
tbero splitting off from tho party
and laying they wont aupport
Hlaino because he plundered tho
treasury. When did Mr. Beecher
and Mr. Adams aud the Harpers
and Judge Tcurgco and tho otbor
editors take this new departure?
When did they reform? They
have supported tbe wholo republi
can shebang for twenty years and
just now begin to preach politacal
morality. There is something pe
culiar about this. Tho truth is
had a slate and them fellows were
on it. They were all interested in
sumo way in that ring, and now
they begin to boiler wolf. Why,
Mr. Blaine is about the best man
they have got. Ho is tbe best
stitcsmau, aud has tho biggest
brain, and tho grandest way of do-
ing - things. Why, even when be
steals there is nothing little about
it, and be divides liberally and tells
ou nobody. I never expected any
efipectable republican to find fault
with him for plundering thogover-
ment. They have all been doing it
lorg that wo thought it was a
plauk in their platform. If we
have got to Cake a republican for
president wo want Mr. Blaine.
He bos got enough and won’t want
any more aod be will put a stop to
the business. He is no little trick
ster. Ho wouldcnt stoop to put a
darkey ia as chairman of tbe groat
republican convention that was to
nominate a president—not him. I
heard a Blaine man say tbe other
day that he had a letter from him
sinco his nomination and if he was
elected he would msko a clean
sweep of every darkey that was in
oflioe.
But Mr. Cleveland is a reformer-
suro enough. He comes from that
kind of stock. Ho has got a south'
cru pedigree. His ancestors camo
from Carolina. Cleveland is
Carolina n.uno. They wero the
old cavaliers aud wouldenl stoop to
do a mean thing. The Clevelands
are about in Carolina now, and
aro still the sauio proud mid lioblo
stock. When Grover Cleveland
gets to bo president he will clean
up things generally, llo is follow
ing in Mr. Tildon’s load nnd will
wear his mantlo when tho old man
is gone. I'm free to say that 1 bo-
lievo Mr. Blaino is the smartest man
tho ernudest man, but Cleveland iu
tho safest and most reliable. When
Hon Hill whipped out IUaiuo in tho
Audersonvilio matter Blaino didn’t
go off aud pout aud plot rovengo
hut he gave it up nobly nnd went
over nnd congratulated Mr. Bill
and they became warm personal
friends ami could bo Been together
trm walking on Ponnsylva
uia nveuuo. I like that. It did
good. And when we wanted to
build a mouinent to Mr. Hill he
as among tho first to send down
liberal contribution. But ho
i.i gotten a man lied ou to him
that woiildeiit Inivo <lono that.
liOgnu iu dead weight, llo ia a
half ludiau—that is ho has got uu
Indians hatred without his love.
Ho Inis been waviug tho bloody
liirt ever sinco tho war. llo will

power. I have u contempt for
him, He shouldn't come in my
houso- He sbouldenl stop in the
big road and Hay howdy. Ho bus
never suid ouo hind Word about
the bouiIi aud would put uu all iu
eiiains and bondage if bo could,
lie is a turbulent disturber of the
public tranquility, lie iu no gen
tleman, and I'll bet ten dollars
that Mr. Blaine feels ImndicHppcd
by having him on hiu ticket. But
such i« politics. That wrh tho
way with Garfield. They tied Ar
thur on to him. Ho was nothing

around among the brothel* of New

Tho groat men of tho nation who

him and that is the leading paper
but you see tho Tribune v

Ho is smart and bold and has got

A Poor Old Woman-
BT BOD WHITLEY.
Don’t Worry.
An cxpotiunccd physician says
that to retain or recover health,
persous should be relieved from-mn-
xiety concerning disease. Tbe
mind bas power over tbo body—
for a person to think,bo bos a dis-
oaro will often produco that dis
ease. This wc soo effected wheu
tbe mind is intensely concotratcd
npon the disease of anothftr. We
have aeon a person aca-sick iu an
ticipation of a voyage before reach*
ing a vessel. A bliudfolded man,
slightly prinked in the arm, has
fainted and died from believiag ho
was bleeding to death.
Therefore, persons, to remain
well, should lie cheerful and happy,
and sick persons should have their
minds divorted'as much a possi
ble. It is by their faith that they
die. As a man tbiuketh so is he.
If he wills not to dio he can often
livo in spite of disease; and if bo
has little or no attachment to life
be will slip away as easily as a
child will fall asleep.
Men live by their minds as well
as by their bodies. Their bodies
have no lifs of tbemselve; they are
only receptacles of life* lentments
for tboir minds, and the will has
much toMo In continuing tbo phys
ical company or giving it op.
A religious exchange asks:
What is the mission of humorous
paper?” Its mission is the same
as tbe mission of tbe religious pa*
paper—to mako money for its pro.
privlor.
I have gone up and down tbe
earth a good deal and I havo not*
ed tbs professionsl beggar in tbo
old world and tbe new, and J
sometimes flatter myself that if
there is anything which distin
guishes tho professional deadbeat
from tho deserving mendicant I
cau detect it os quick as auybody.
But when a poor old woman ap
plies to me, my boasted powers
of discrimination leave me, aud if
she does not get anything it is be
cause I have nothing.
A poor old woman, in n calico
gown, tho remnant of a shawl, a
faded bonnet and a pair of old
shoes, tho heels of which scrape
the pavement as she shuffles for
ward to—to tho grave, always
breaks mo up. I feel liko aston
ishing her with a $5 kill and never
asking how she will spend it.
Wheu a man comes begging, l
cun generally refuse him with
gooJ grace. It always looks to
us if a man could help it. if
is in that condition it is not bo-
-.0 he could not havo avoided
it. He could have made tho world
cct him if ho had bceu deter*
mined to do so. But it docs no
of a poor old woman. She
nature of circumstances.
She was born a girl bccauso she
had no voicu iu the matter and her
sex has been to hor disadvantage
all her life, On her unidentified
eeuvictiou of this has grown up
the demand for what i* called
affection is stronger for.
a baby lx>y than for a baby girl.
It seems to ho a law of sex that il
hould he so. As ho grows up
there is a hope that a son may
linvo individuality enough about
Inn to do honor to tho family
name, but it is not looked for iu a
girl, if tliero is any pinching to
ho done hi order thut anybody
may ihii.c, it is done in the inter
est of the hoy. If the girf has any
iiulurul endowments of beauty and
grace she in expected to mako the
most of them, nsu matter of course
They are her capital, and if sho
docs not uho it judiciously she will
not receive a* much sympathy os
the boy* who makis'n poor iiivcst*
incut. If she is plain, an iu a
majority of cases she is, the world
will hardly know she is in it. A
homely dog has his euthusiustic
admirer*, hut n homely woman
ucver elicits rnoro limn a qualiilsd
word of prako for her good heurt
or her common sense. Thu best
that she can hope for must needs
come through subserviency
somebody, and iu that the "poor
old woniau” seems to have been
disappjinted.
There are a few n:on who live
liven of real anxiety, but tbe gicat
nun of uicu are cither under aala<
ry or confident of their ability to
mako their way iu tho world.^ But
the wives aud inotkera carry the
world ou their shoulders. They
must not only bo their own keep
ers in matters of health and virtue,
but they havo been msde in A
Urge measure responsible for that
of their husbands and sons. If
woman cannot control tbreo or
four destinies she thinks sho is a
failure, and her shoulders begin to
ntoop, tho lines begin to show on
her forehead and tho silver begins
to streak her hair; the blue has
faded out of her sky aud the cloud*
rarely lift again. Then il sho adds
to other disaster* the aiu of being
poor tho tragedy t of life seem* to bo
complete in her. In tho circle ia
which sho moves the poor cocjur*
sgement ol a sham praise U not
given often; sho was never very
sure that even her simple useful*
ness was appreciated, though ahe
mustered self-confidence onougb
uow and theu to mako it her own
warrant for slaying amongst no.
But that was when she was young-
8bo is old now, aud even
thatexcuso for living is taken
from her. If she could be pitched
into tho Ganges os a propitiation
for her ckfldren'a sins she might
comfort herself with tbo thought
that she still bad ■ value. But
we have passed that age of the
world and that system of ntilizlng
old women, and we have not reach-
ed a better for her.
A poor old woman Is poor in
deed. Sbo presents to me, as
nothing else can, tho compusion*
lees force of circumstances and
the possible calamity of bsing
born.
Tho Trout Fishing Liar.
The trout liar ia the gem of all
fishors. He is the saddle-rock li
ar; a mooso among tho antelopes;
Hyperion to satyr, he is tbo long
tailed comet among the quiet twink-
lern. All men cannot be trout liars.
Tbe trout liar must bo born with a
peculiar fitness for the task, and
then ho muit be educated to it and
devote himself to trout lies as a
Hfo work. When David said in
his haste “All men are liars,” 8aul
and Abinadab, Doeg and Edomite,
had probaly just returned from a
trout fishing down along tho brook
iu the Valley of Elali, aud wero
tolling what they had seen and
what they bad done, and David,
os he listened to them murdering
the unarmed truth, naturally sup*
posed there was no more truth left
iu the hoarts of men in all the wide
world. Tho trout liar oxccods all
other liars, bccauso tho mnn who
has douo any amount of fishing, is,
to a certain extent,ia traveled man.
It is his custom to sit on tho ve
randa and tell his stories, crushing
all compction and putting his feet
on the neck of all striped boss and
land locked salmon liars. If it
happens that just os ho has told
his master piece tbe opposition
trout liar comes in with a right
bower, a genuine royal ffunh of a
trout lie, the first liar is hurt to
tho heart; he is dcjoelud and sor
rowful, and says not another word
that uight. But ho draws new in*
spiration from defeat and tho very
noxt placo ho goes to ho appropri
ates the liu that paralyzed him,
and, unbliishingly claiming it us
his own deiiautly crushes down nil
pitiful competition with a crown
ing lie that only two days before
crushed him.
Thore aro several kinds of trout
liars. Tho liar of weights, who
never catches more than half a
do/on trout a day, but tkoy can
weigh anywhere from eight to ten
pounds. Then there is the liar of
numbers, who always catches
uiuny dozens iu an hour and 28
minutes. And there is tho liar of
places, who kuows hidden pools,
dark and still, in tho secret places
of tho rocks, that are just boiling
ovur with trout, aud ho takes you,
uiidcr many oaths of secresy, and
by stealthy and circuitous routes
to tbreo places, and you (Lit in
them for eight mortal hours with
out a nibble. But you can nevor
corner a trout liar. Arithmetic,
fuels, science, probabilities, prece
Uc»t, gnnnral principles and tbo
eternal fitness of things may cum
bine in overwhelming array t<
prove him thaawi’ollcst liar in Ens
gland or America; it doeseu’t dis
turb him. Ho lies on, calmly,
confidingly, enthusiastically, al.
ways locating tbo scene of his lies
so far away ho is protty cortain
yon will never go there. There
aro limits to human belief. You
may believe what tbo candidate
says on the stump; you may bolievo
what a man tells you in a horse
trade; you may bclievo the airy li«
ar, and you may bclievo tbo saake
liar, but when a man takes his ci
gar from his lips, and With a aim'
pie retix of place and date, starts
in on a trout story, bar and bolt
and lock aud double lock the gates
of your belief when be got* to the
maco. Don’t boli.'ve ono solitary
trout story, though it weighs less
than a pound. Under the shadow
of a trout, truth dios; and tbo men
who fish four days and books on
ly one lono trout, so small that bo
loses it in bis empty basket, comes
homo the bigest liar of them all.—

About Camols.
A writer says: “Tho camel is
tbo most perfeet inachino on four
legs that wo have any knowledge
of.” A sacred treasure, indeed, to
tho Arab is this “dudiiing-footcd
prido of tbe desert.”
The expression on the face of
camel is rather pathetic. His eyes
aro large and liquid, aud abovo
them aro deep cavities largt
enough to hold a hen’s egg. The
aquiline nose, with long, slanting
nostrils that he can closo tightly
against the sand storms aud hot
burning wind* of tho desert, give a
very sorrowful expression to the
fuco. . Thu under lip is (touting and
puckering, and you aro not at all
surprised when the poor beast bunt
into tears and cries long aud loud
liko a vexed child.
Tho feet of tho camel aro of very
singular construction, with a tough,
elastic solo, soft und Rpongy.as they
fall noiselessly on tho curlli and
spread cub under his tottering
weight. This form of a loot pre
vents the auimal from sinking in
tho sand, aud he js very sure-footed
on all sorts of ground.
Tho average rnto of travel lor a
caravan is between two and three
miles an hour; nnd tho camel jogs
on, hour after hour, at tho same
paco, and seems to bo almost as
fresh at night as iu tho moruiug
when he started on his travols.
The Arabians ssy of (ho camel,
“Job’s hea^t is a monument of
