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 •it to be quench. <1 in dentil, uud i falicting voice I’upa must go a long—papa must a long, long journey.” l’ho litt'e one slipped from bed and ran cut of the room 8 ah. * it-mned with Iut and clonk toady for a walk, and her little s. ilchcl uu her arm. Even in that hr'ef space tho father had In com. un •honcious, uud the heart sirick eu friends caught up the little on. 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 ed into real, perhaps hearing with 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 Journal, Our happiness and success de pends on being where we belong.— Thlmage.

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 io some dirty worlt if lie gets in 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 hut n ward politician humming around among the brothel* of New Vork. lii t ny i« btill rejieaied Tho groat men of tho nation who whou't stoop to meaumss can’t he made president.

Tho Tributio is for him and that is the leading paper but you see tho Tribune v hi* slate. Whilulaw Reed is to he init-iricr to England uud tint is all right. lie will mnke a gool one.

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.— Hotel Gazette.

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 God’s mercy.” Tho camel sheds his hair regu* laily onco a year, and carpets and tcnt-clothcs aro rnado from it; il is also woven in to doth. 8ome of it Is exceedingly fine and soft, though it is usually coarse and rough, and is used for making coats for the camel drivers and huge water bot tles, leather sacks; also »and air, ropes and thongs, are made of its sklu. A Volume in t Sentence. In bi* speocb in New Orleans Monday, Major J2. A. Burke, tbo Director General of tbo World’a great Exposition, in tho Crcacent Oily omphasizod a fact which can' not bo too often repeated, and which should not be forgotten by tho people of tho Boutb for ono single instant. That statement reveals to as a vision of wealth and power which ahould gladden tho hoarts and inspire the minds of our entire people. Tho statement of Major Burke was brief, but It Is pregnant with great things, to their realization every energy ol mind and body shauld bo directed, lie said; “Should the South manufacture all its cotton into cloth tho crop would yield nino hundred millions of duller* annually, Instead of $320,000,000, as It now does !’* What a volume tbero is in this brief sentence, and now fraught with tho mighty interest! and fu ture glory of the cotton States.— Vickiburg Commercial Herald.

This, society, which consists of about two hun dred members, a dozen of whom, are ladies, contains among its mem bers many men eminent in tho medical world in Paris, as .well as distinguished in science and art.
