HOW TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITS.
Understand the reasons, andall the
reasons, why there is mno lingering
doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons and the thoughts
that leads to the temptations. Fre
quent the places, associate with the
persons, indulge in the thoughts that
lead away from temptation. Keep
busy: idlenessis the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle
when you have broken your resolu
tions once, twice, thrice—a thousand
times. That only shows how much
need there is foryou to strive. When
you have broken your resolutions,
just think the matter over, and en
deavor to understand why it is you
failed, so that you may be on your
guard against a recurrence of the
same circumstance. Do not think it
an easy thing that you have under
taken. Itis a folly to expect to
break off a habit in a day which has
been gathering long years.
¢“BLAME IT ALL ON ME.”
’ A grand erash—a shower of flying
splinters-—bumpl bump! and the
coaches settled back on the rails, and
the passengers picked themselves up
and cried out to each other that there
had been a collision.
So there had. Freight No. 17 was
pulling in on the side track, but the
day express thundered down on her
while the long train was a third of its
length on the main track.
Some one had blundered. Some
one’s watch was off time. Some one
must be held responsible for the ac
cident.
Under the overturned locomotive
was the fireman—dead. Near him
was the engineer, pinned down to the
frozen earth by one of the drivers,
and when he had been relieved, a
doctor, who was among the passen
gers, knelt beside him said :
“Arm broken—lleg broken—foot
crushed to a pulp. He cannot live.”
Who had blundered? Who had
disobeyed orders? The conductors
of the two trains were comparing
watches and orders, when the engi
neer beckoned them.
“I alone am to blame!” he whis
pered. “I wasn’t due here until
10:10, and it was just 10:5 when 1
struck the freight. 1 was ahead of
time—running on her time.”
“So it was—so it was,” whispered
the two conductors. |
“This morning when I left home,”
continued the engineer, “the doctor
was there. Our little Jennie—our
five year old—was sick unto death.
In her delivium she kept erying out:
‘Don’t go, papa! don’t leave little
Jennie to die!” It was like a knife
to my heart to leave her, but go I
must. I was leaving the house when
the doctor put his hand on my shoul
der, and said: ‘T'om, my boy, by 6
o’clock to-morrow morning she’ll
cither be dead or better.”” .
“What a long day this was to me !”
he went on after a bit. “When I
pulled out of the depot to-night,
headed for home and Jennie, I want
ed to fly. I kept giving her more
steam, and I kept gaining on my time.
We aren’t due till 7, you know, but 1
wanted to be at 6—aye! an hour be
fore that. When thought came to
me that Jennie might be dead when
next I entered the door I should have
pulled the throttle wide open if the
fireman hadn’t grabbed my arm.”
“Poor man!” they whispered as he
shuddered with pain and seemed to
be exhausted.
“Yes, blame it all on me?’ he
whispered. “No. 16 had five minutes
more to get in, and she’d have made
it all right, but I stole her time. And
now —and now”’—
~ “He lay so quiet for a moment that
j the doctor felt for his heart to sce if
} it still beat.
“And now—that’s her—that’s Jen
nie. She’s beckoning—she’s ealling!
Right down the track—over the high
bridge—through the deep cut—l'm
coming—coming!
And men wiped tears from their
eyes and whispered:
“He has found his child in death!”
e e o—
BE HONORABLE, BOYS.
Boys and young men sometimes
start out in life with the idea that
one’s suceess depends on sharpness
and chicanery. They imagine if a
man is always able to “get the best of
a bargain,” no matter by what deceit
and meanness he carries his point,
that his prosperity is assured. That
is a great mistake. Enduring pros
perity eannot be founded on cunning
and dishonesty. Tricky and deceit
ful man is sure to fall a vietim sooner
or later, to the influences, which are
working against him. IHis house is
built upon the sand, and its founda
tion is sure to give way. Young peo
ple cannot give truths too much
weight. The future of that young
man is safe who eschews every shape
of double dealing, and lays the foun
dation of his carcer in the enduring
principles of truth.
A BOY WHO EATS WOOL.
A New London, Conn., boy aged
five, eats all the woolen and worsted
threads he comes across. e picks
the nap from blankets and the wors
ted from the chair tidies, and it is
hardly required to state that he is in
a constant condition of ill health.
His affectionate mama does not know
what to cover him with when she puts
him in his little bed. His appetite is
excellent, and he eats holes through
the blanket in no time. In the par
lor and sitting-room, when he man
ages to enter those aparments, he
makes the tidies and curtains look as
if an army of moths had been at work.
The only sure way to cure him would
be to padlock his mouth and encase
his hands in short iron gloves. But
if they let him alone and can afford
expense awhile, such food wi!l soon
send him among the angels.— Phila
delphia Progress.
I SWEET SCENERY.
I vouch for the truth ot the ineci
dent that follows, on the authority of
Cartersville’s portliest and most dig
nified alderman. He told about it in
the following way: “I was coming
up from Cedartown on the East &
West one afternoon not long since.
In the rear of the coach I saw a young
couple who seemed to be very deeply
interested in each other. The young
lady was well-dressed and had nice
manners. Her eyes were bright, her
cheeks rosy and her lips vermilion.
‘Her companion was a young commer
cial traveller whose face is often seen
in Cartersville. The young couple
appeared to be much pleased with
each other, and in spite of their sur
roundings were indulging in soft
speeches and melting glances. After
awhile the young man suggested that
they go out on the rear end of the
coach and enjoy the beautiful scene
ry. The afternoon was bright and
the sun was shining across from the
west in a genial way, casting long
shadows towards the East. The train
sped along through fields, over bridg
es and around curves, and in my ad
miration of the fine farms to be seen
from my window, I had almost for
gotten the young couple on the coach.
The train was gliding along through
an open field when my eyes fell on
the shadows of the young couple re
flected against the embankment on
the side of the coach where I was sit
ting. I could distinctly see the out
lines of their figures and the profiles
of their faces—even the motion of the
young man’slips and the shadow of the
yvoung lady’s eyelashes could be seen.
It was amusing to look at and 1T call
ed the attention of my neighbor on
the next seat to it. Soon almost
every oneinthe car was watching the
shadows. The young man seemed to
be very earnest and the young lady
very attentive. Gently, and as if by
accident the shadow of the young
man’s arm glided around the shadow
of the young lady’s waist, and the
shadow of the young man’s lips were
seen to “pucker” and dive at the
space between the shadow of the
young lady’s chin and nose. The
passengers in the train became deep
ly interested, and as the shadows
would meet time after time a titter
would run up and down the line in
side the car. ‘Dippin’ sugar, said
one old fellow down in the corner.
“Gum suckin’,” said another. -It
seemed that I could almost see the
sparks of electricity fly out of the
shadows on the bank as the lips came
together. About that time the whis
tle blew for town, and the young coup
le came in looking harmless and in
nocent-like, and the young lady re
marked, “Wasn’t the scenery just too
lovely 7 “Sweet would have been a
better word,” said the old fellow in
the corner in a quiet undertone, and
every body laughed like he had said
something funny. 1 wouldn’t have
you to tell this for anything, because
if you did, a certain young commer
cial traveller would feel curious when
he heard it.” Certainly I'll never
tell it—that is, hardly ever.— Carters

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
In San Jose, Cal., not many days
ago, one Mrs. William Kennedy was
making anxious search tor her little
four-year-old, curley-headed son who
had disappeared for the moment from
the family door-yard. Hurrying
through the streets, looking and in
quiring for the little runaway, her
attention was directed to a crowd of
people who were gazing, white and
silent with awe, at a huge wind-mill
tank, against which a long ladder was
leaning. The eyes of the woman fol
lowed the gaze of the crowd, and this
is what she saw; eighty feet from the
ground, holding on by his chubby
legs and one erm could be seen the
little fellow, extending his free hand
towards some pigeons that were perch
ed almost within his reach.
His awful peril had stunned and
stilled the helpless group beneath,
which now parted as the mother came |
swiftly towards the scene. Then her
firm, quiet voice was heard raised
that the child migt hear: “Come
down, Carl, and mamma will give
you a peach.” The child heard, and
looking over his shoulder perceived
his mother. Instantly he began to
descend, carefully clinging, round by
round, and as he neared the last, he
smiled at the upturned face of his
mother and said: “I'm coming moth
er,” and in another moment was in
her arms. - And then that crowd sep
arated into small parties of one each,
and melted into the distance, leaving
behind them only an indistinet mem
ory of moistened eyes and flutteriug
pocket handkerchiefs,

ed by a man who so hated the blacks
that he refused to sell anything to
one ot them. John F. Cooke, tax
collector of the District of Columbia,
himself pays taxes on $250,000. John
M. Langston, United States minister
to Hayti, has 875,000. John Lynch,
of Mississippi, who presided so ably
at the Chicago convention last sum
mer, is very wealtby. So is Congress
man Smalls. Dr. Gloster left $l,-
000,000, besides a four-story drug
store in New York. Jobn X. Lewis,
of Boston, makes the clothes of the
Beacon Hill dudes and did a busi
‘ness last year of $1,600,000. He was
once a slave, and, ragged and bare
footed, followed Sherman and his
troops in their march to the sea.
Cincinnati has a furniture dealer
‘whose check is good any day for $lOO,-
000, although twenty-five years ago
he was a Kentucky slave. The late
Robert Gordon, of Cincinnati, owned
thirty four-story residences at the
time of his death. One day he en
tered a Queen City Bank and asked
for government bonds. The cashier
did not know him, and when he hand
ed out his check for $150,000, the
cashier appealed in astonishment to
the president of the bank. “Give
him the bonds,” said the latter, “his
check is good for three times that.”
San Francisco has fifteen colored men
assessed above $75,000 each. Detroit
has a colored druggist with a big store
on Woodward avenue. Jones, of
Chicago, is worth half a million, and
Buffalo has several negroes who pay
taxes on $30,000 each. Robertson,
of St. Louis, who lately died, owned
a barber shop whose fittings cost $25,-
000 and was acknowledged to be the
finest shop in the world.— Philadel

LIP READING VS. ARTICULATION.
The New York institution for the
instruction of the deaf and dumb has
adopted a simple method of applying
phonic analysis to the instruction of
the deaf, recently devised by the
principal of the institution, by which
with the eye the patient may observe
the motions of a speaker’s lips and
other organs of speech so accurately
as to discern the words uttered, not
by the context, or guess work, but by
absolute recognition of their phonetie
elements. It is found moreover, that
the deaf mute who masters this sys
tem of lip reading is enabled to speak
within a shorter period ard with
greater precision than under the old
system of teaching articulation.—

Delicate Women.
I have been using for a month or
two in my household Swift’s Specific,
the greater portion of it having been
consumed by the female portion of
my family and with the happiest re
sults. It acted like a charm on my
wife, who had been in bad health for
a long time, and for whom I had paid
hundreds of dollars for doctors and
medicines. It began to build her up
from the first dose. Another female
member of my family took it with
equally satisfactory results. It is
certainly the best tonic for delicate
ladies that I have ever used, and I
have tried them all. I have no doubt
that want of exercise, close confine
ment in poorly ventilated houses,
sewer gas poison and malarial poison
often produce sickness among our
wives, daughters and sisters, and I
believe Swift’s Specific is the remedy
for all this sort of blood poisoning. I
know many of the best families of this
county are using it for this purpose,
and I have never known or heard of
any failure to give entire satisfaction.
I have known the remedy a long
time. I know it to be entirely veget
able, and the best tonic and altera
tive, especially for females.

General Debility.
For several years past my wife’s
‘health has been exceedingly feeble—
a general break down of the nervous
system. She was greatly reduced in
flesh. No remedy seemed to do her
any good. In the spring of 1883 I
induced her to try Swift’s Specific.
The first bottle gave her hope and
twenty bottles produced wonderful
results. She gained thirty pounds in
flesh and it renovatud her whole sys
tem. It is certainly the greatest ton
ic in the world. T. J. Hiecalns.
