Tn Uli.ks. —Never pul off until
lu-morruw what you can ilo to day. Htvri
trouble another for what you can do yourself.
Never spend \our money before you have it.
Never buy what you don’t want because it is
cheap. Pride coats more than hunger, thirst,
or cold. We seldom repent of having eaten
tort little. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly. How much the evils have which
never hapi>ened! Take things atways by tbe
smooth handle. When angry count ten before
"hu speak, if very angry count a hundred.
TuoxaxTok Herald: During court last week
quite an amusing incident occured between
Judge Wright and a delinquent juror, as fol
lows :
Judge—Mr. Juror, what made you so late
coming into court ¥
Juror—Well, sir, 1 was engaged in making a
9. tllenient, and. times being hard, 1 thought
1 wo ild wait and make the settlement in or
der tli ii 1 might get a few dollars.
Judge—Divide the money with the county,
Mr Juror.
Juror — I didn't get the money, I came out
In debt to the other fellow.
The Judge was so completely outwitted that
he ordered the juror to take his seat and sin no
more.

What I Have keen.
1 have seen a man build a house so large that
the Sheriff turned him out of doom.
1 hare seen a young man sell a good farm
and turn merchant, and die in an Insane hos
pital.
I have seen a farmer travel about so much
Unit there was nothing at home worth looking
at.
1 have seen a girl marry a man of dissolute
habits, and repent of it as long as slit* lived.
I have seen the extravagance and folly of
children bringing their parents to poverty and
want, and themselves to disgrace.
I have seen a prudent, industrious w ife re
the fortunes of a family when her luts-
Vfcn ■ was pulling at the otiier end of tbe rope.
Ve habit of being employed is a great safe
' through life, as well as essential to the

tory.
Captain Jack Jewett, Robiu Mosby and
Ben Bradshaw were travelling from Virginia
to Kentucky on horseback. CJapi. Jewett was
a large, tWUAnng man, anJ a fair specimen
of tbr kind of men that gave character to the
period that embraces the early history of Ken
, As ue three rode along their attention
was attracted by angry words from a cabin on
the roadside. Words were succeeded by blows
aud Captain Jewett said : “Let’s ride up and
ace whut tld* tight is about." They galloped up
to the cabin, w here was a man and his better
half having a “set-to,” and she getting til- bet
ter half of it. “Hold my horse," said Jewett,
“and l will teach the a lesson he will
never forget. "At one blow of his fist the man
lay prostrate upon the floor. The good w ife
looked at her husband a moment and then at
Jewett, and, then reaching back she caught up'
a large, long-liHinlled frying pan and let drive
at Jewett's head. The bottom went out, and
the rim went over his head aud around his
neck, such was the force of tbe blow. All ef
forts failing to get the remnant of the frying
pan from around Jewett’s neck, he hail to wear
it about five miles on bis road, and then a file
in the hands of a blacksmith released him.

Sheep ms Enrletiem.
In 185 I bad u Held of ten acres that had
been mowed some ten years in succession with
out a particle of dressing put upon it; the grass
had completely died out, and nothing was to
be seen but white weed and yellow weed, or
buttercup and ox-eyed daisy. Ihe soil was
clayey loam canting a little to the south and
west, was in the smoothest possible condition,
without $ stump or stone, and bordering upon
a stream of w ater. In me spring of the same
> ea r l put upon this field of teu acres forty one
year-old sheep w ithout lambs. Those sheep
kept everything down as smooth as a bar floor.
The next vear I put on the same number and
kept them on until it was time to come to the
barn. They were not taken from the field any
time duriug the season, neither did they lime
auv graiu of any kind, but were in splendid
condition. They were grade Merinos.
In the spring of 186? I noticed that tLe field
looked green the last of April and the first of
J/av, s< much so that in consulting with my
neighbors, I was induced to keep ofl' from it
and let it coiue to grass for the scythe. The
field, in the meantime, had been sowed over
w ith a light dressing of plaster, about one
bushel to the acre and a small quantity of
grass seed, timothy and red top. Nothing else
has been done to the field in any shape up to
the present time.
Now for the result. The first year after tak
ing ths sheep ofl', 1 had the greatest yield of
grass that I ever had from any of my fields
under other treatment, and of the best quality,
a mixture of red top, while clover and some
grass that 1 cannot name. Hardly a head of
white weed was se.-u on the field.
But what is most remarkable to me and my
neighbors is that the field has continued to
product bountifully up to the present timt,
which is eight years since the sheep w as taken
ot r. and to-day (August 2nd) the field is tented
thick with bunches of the very best bay, aver
aging over one ton to the acre. 1 have siuce
the field to one of my friends, and asked
him yesterday if he expected to get another
crop from the field without dressing it again
Hia reply was “Yes. I expect to gel several
more yet ."—LI O. Abbott tn O*rmi>aoicn Icit

* An Incident of llie itcbcllion.
On the 12t.1i day of June, IfetkJ, I witnessed,
a duel between Captain Jones, commanding a
Federal scout, aud Captain Fry, commanding
a Rebel scout, in Greene ceunty, Bast Tennes
see These two men had been fighting each
other for six months, with the fort tnes of bat
tle in favor of one and then the oilier. Theit
commands wc re camped on either sale of tick
Creek, a large and sluggish stream, too deep to
ford and too shallow for a ferry-boat; but
there a bridge spanned the stream for the con
venience of the traveling public. Each of them
guarded this bridge that communication jshould
go neither north nor south, as the railroad track
had been broken up months before. After
fighting each other for several month*, a*d
contesting the point us to which should hold
the bridge, they agreed to fight a duel, the
conqueror to hold the bridge undisputed for
the lime being. Jones gave the challenge, and
Fry accepted. The terms were, that they
should fight with navy pistols at twenty yards
apart, deliberately w ulking towards each other,
and firing until the last chamber of their pis
tols was discharged, unless one or the other
fell before all the discharges were made. They
.chose their seconds, and agreed upon a rebel
surgeon (as he was the only one in either com
mand) to attend them in ease of danger
Jones was certainly a fine looking fellow,
with light hair and blue eyes, five feet ten
inches in height, looking every inch the milita
ry chieftain. He was a man the soldiers would
admire and ladies regarded with admiration.
I uever saw a man more cool, determined, and
heroic under such circumstances. I have read
of the deeds of chivalry and knighterpantry in
the middle ages, aud of brave men embalmed
in modern poesy; but, when I saw this man
Jones come to the duelists' scratch, fighting,
not for real or supposed wrongs to himself,
but, us he honestly thought, for his eouinry
aud the glory of the flag, I could not help ad
miring the man, notwithstanding he fought for,
the freedom of the negro, w hich I was opposed
to.
Fry was a mmi full six feet high, slender,
with long, wavy, curling hair, jet black eye*,
wearing a slouch hat and gray suit, and looked
rather the demon than the man.
There was nothing ferocious about him; he
had that self-sufficient nonchalance that said
1 will you.” Witljput a doubt, he was
brave, cool, and eolketed, and although suffer
ing from a terrible flesh wound in his left arm,
received a week before, he manifested no symp
toms of distress, but seemed ready for the
fight.
The ground was stepped off by tire seconds,
pistols loaded and exchanged, and the princi
pals brought face to face. I nver shall for
get that meeting. Jones, in his military, boy
ish mood, as they shook hands remarked that —
A soldier braves death for a fanciful wreath
When in glary’s romantic career.
Fry caught up the rest of the sentence, and
answered by saying—
Yet he bends o'er the foe when in battle laid
low.
And bathes every wound with a tear.
They turned around and walked back to the
point designated. Jones’ second had the word
“Fire,” and as he slowly said, “One—two—
three—fire!" they simultaneously turned at the
word “One" and instantly fired. Neither Wis
hurt. They cocked their pistols, and deliber
ately walked towards each other firing as they
went. At the fifth shot, Jones threw up liis
right hand, and, firing his pistol iu the air, sank
down. Fry was in the act of firing his last
shot; but, seeing Jones fall, silently lowered
his pistol, dropped it to the ground, and sprung
to Jones’ side, taking his head in his lap as he
sat down, and asking him if he was hurt.
1 discovered that Jones was shot through the
region of the stomach, the bullet glancing
around that organ, and coming out to the left
of the spinal column , besides he had received
three other frightful tleali wounds in other por
tions of his body. I dressed his wounds, and
gave nim such stimulants as I had. He after
wards got well.
Fry received three wounds—one breaking
his left arm. one in the left, and the other in
the right side. After months of suffering he
got w ell, and fought the war out to the bitter
end, and to-day are partners iu a wholesale
grocery burine.,* clown South, doing a good
business, and verifying the sentiment of Byron,
that "A soldier braves death,” &c.

will be a lesson to some people. North and

results of the war, let me subscribe myself a

The Wheel of Fortune.
About two years ago two Indianapolis com
mercial tourist drew- a portion of the capital
prize in the Louisville Lottery, one acquiring
$7,500 and the other $5,000- The $7,500 man
at once bought an interest in the grocery-house
by which he was employed, at the same time
keeping his former position, his experience and
eapi al realizing an interest of $3,000 or $4,000
per annum. This was uot enough, however, to
satisfy his ambition, and in two or three months
he found it expedient to sell out to
his partners, who gladly paid him s7,*
500 for his interest. In six months he reach
ed his bottom dollar and was iu search of a
situati m For a time he was employed about
i ticket scalping office, and afterward traveled
for three w holesale houses, never retaining a
position longe’- than a mouth. Business men
eyed him something bordering on suspicion
aud he could no longer get work. He found
plenty of time for drinks bet ween meals though,
and at last, overcome by his misfortune and
drink, he determined to end his mortal career,
and a night or two ago he was trsriiig to buv
morphene or arsenic at several drug stores.
Hts etfbr'.s in this direction were unsuccessful,
for the drug clerks heartlessly turned a deaf
ear to his pathetic appeals for an agent to help
him across the liiver Styx, and his demise has
not yet been announced. It is presumed that

certain path to the other shore. He has only

The Heavenly Ladder
BY MltS- ANNIE E.JtUGMSOX.
’Tis *aid, between the earth, and sky,
A radiant ladder stands.
And though unseen by mortal eyes,
The shining angel hands,
Come softly down by night, and day,
Their Fathers will to do,
And bear the gifts for which we prav,
And learn oar sorrows too;
As softly they again, ascend
Up to their Father s throne.
And low before his presence bend,
To tell the good we’ve done.
Oh sweetly, from this house to-night,
Along that shjning way,
They’re hdatjsniqg on AitU sweet delight
l p to those realms of day;
And they an offering meet
For some sad soul’s delight,
Will never have a time more sweet,
Than on this Christmas night;
For 'mid the festive joy and cheer,
Thest words like dew shall fall:
“Our Father, was well pleased to hear.
His smite-approved it all." -
!
Oh happy soul*! that not alone
Seek their own good aud care,
That help each tried and sorrowing one,
His lotelier lot to bear.
0 radiant laddfer! reaching down,
Between the earth, and skies,
Tliou’lt tlie way to joys which crown,
'ditch sdnl* in Paradise. ’

pH..ath” in New York Graphic.”
Alexander T. Mitchell, of Milwaukee, is said
to be the wealthiest man in the Northwest,
worth about $10,000,0011. He is the individual
owner of the Western Union Railroad, which
runs jfroifi Racine, on Lake Michigan, to Rock
Island, on the Mississippi, one hundred and
ninety-seven miles, and tlx* controlling spirit
in the Milwaukee aud St. Paul Railroad. He
is * native Scotchman, who married a sister of
HArriaon Reed, ex-Governot of Florida. He
came to Milwaukee when it vas a muddy vil
lage on the bluff’s of Lake as the
agent of a Chicago banker, and took large con
tracts in the railway which reached the Terri
tory of Wisconsin about 18-19-50. He estab
lished a hank of issue on the basis of a Marine
and Fire Insurance Company, and almost mo
nopolized the currency of Wisconsin and the
Northwest, until the formation of the national
banks. Rtfukag to change the State character
of his bank, Mr. Mitchell found himself, as a
Democrat, in a consistent position towards his
party, which teas unfriendly toward the na
tional banking system. He did not take that
position of unfriendliness, hut he happened, by
his business attitude, to have anticipated the
prejudices of his party and squared with them.
Living in a handsome villa on the high
grounds of Milwaukee, half a mile back ftom
the river which divides the city, he spends kis
leisure ju society and reading, having sturdy
Scotch convictions, atid he has repeatedly en
joyed the confidence of his party by represent
ing Milw’aiUcesift and he would have
been’the SenatoT fYom tW State had a Demo
crat prevailed as successor to Senator Carpen
ter. His friends are troubled because he re
fused the nomination for Congress last year, as
he would have been made Chairman of the
Banking and Currency Committee, the step
ping-stone to Secretary of the Treasury if the
Democrats carry' the country in 1870. By his
determined attitude arid reasoning influence on
the subject of spexie-bottomed currency Mitch
ell has kept the'Democracy of Wisconsin steady
all through the'Crn of agitation for inflation.
I found him at his baqk, a yellowish-dun
brick edifice on a corner, full of clerks, and
above stairs was the Vail wav office, w ith a long
table down the DjrcgAorJs parlor: and office and
conversation rooms.
Mitchell bore out the report Judge Hoar, of
Massachusetts, once gave of hint: “The most
sensible democitt Ae had ever known.” A
short, fattish Scofcjimnn, w ith a large head
crowned with thick, gray hair. He had the
head of Sir Walter Scott, a regular oat-meal
head, out of w hich the beard of the oats seem
to stick for hair. Having been up la‘e the pfe
viou3 night or nights, following the great da
reer perhaps outlined by General Sedgwick,
it the only congenial way of discharging one’s,
superabundant public spirit, MRchell was not
very brisk. He was good-natured, however
and said discursively very nearly the wordd I
put down i* a single sentence:
"There is no delusion more current
that America is a poor country at present]. lit
is in the most satisfactory condition, probabi v
of any country on the globe, and has ntereily
suspended the almost superhuman exertions of
completing its material unity by railway addi
tions and extensions, bridging its waters, and
fixing up its towns. For the comfort and com
eonimunicaiions of the people it is now very
nearly a perfect thing, and what is called de
cline is merely rest- —the conclusion of our
task.”

''Fatli are Stubborn Tkiugi ”
Thousands of human beings are yearly borne
ou the swift current of disease down to the
grave, just because they do not possess a suffi
cient know ledge of themselves. A man meets
his neighbor, and the first salutation is. ‘how
are you?” or “how is your health?” The re
ply frequently is. "Oh. I am w ell, with the ex
eeption of a cold ” Most persons lightly re
gard a cold. Read<-r, do you know timt a cold
Is one of the most dangerous of maladies ? A
cold not only clogs up the pores of the entire
system, and retards circulation, but it is pro
ductive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead
to Consumption. "Oli," you say, "it is nothing
buts cold in my head.” True ; but that cold is
reallv a mild form of Catarrh, and if not ar
rested in its course will become chronic. Ca
tarrh is one of the most disagreeable, offensive
affections in the catalogue of diseases. The
passage to the nose is olstructed, the sense of
sac-ll impaired, and there is a disagreeable sen
sation of pressure in the bead. In the more
advanced stages, there is a discharge having
an offensive odor. If the disease be allow ed
to continue in it- course, thick, hard incrusta
lions w ill form in the head, the l>ones oi which
soinKimes become softened and break awav
in pieces. Why will persons continue to suf
fer from such an annoving. disgusting disease,
when they can iust as well be cured of it?
Dr- Sage’s'Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst
forms of Catarrh; in fact’ it is the only sure
and safe remedy which ha* vet been offered to
the public. Manv harsh, irritating prepara
tions may, for a time, relieve the urgency of
the svmptoms. but they do not cure the disease
Dr Sage’s Catarrh Remedy is soothing and
healing In its effects, and when used with Dr.
Pierce’s Nasal Douche, according to directions,
does not fail to affect a Cure Sold by all
druggists.
