Youug ladies who happen to marry
late should bear in mind that if they
get a good husband they have done
well by waiting ; and if they get a
bad one it is proof they did not wait
long enough. It they never marry at
all they may console themselves with
the thought that they have escaped a
world of trouble, and that there are
always some married women who en
vied their lot.
GENIUS generally makes the world
catch its breath with admiration at
its exalted hight, but it frequently
goes to bed without its supper, takes
a slice of hope for breakfast, and
tightens its belt for dinner, while
plodding common sense gropes along
with its eyes to the ground, and by
hard knocks and close picking gets
three meals a day.

have been allowed to shout false
news until doomsday.

A natural ink is found at the bot
tom of a copper mine at the foot of
Kennesaw mountain, in Cobb coun
ty, Ga. It is a peculiar liquid of a
deep wine color, and when a few drops
of nut gall are added it turns a jet
black, and at once becomes ink of the
best quality. "The records of the
county have for years been kept in
this natural ink, which neither freez
es, fades nor corodes.
A Persian philosopher being asked
by what method he had acquired so
much knowledge, answered: “By
not being prevented by shame from
asking questions wheen I was ignor
ant.” According to this notion, a
5-year old boy travelinng in the cars
with his mother, ought to acquire
enough knowledge in a journey of
fifteen miles to split his head wide
open.

ily caught and placed in the cage
with the brood. She began instant

was in the cage, and did not seem to
notice the imprisonment. On the
day following, the male bird flew inte
the room, and oftered mo resistance
nor showed any signs wf fight when
the lady captured him. e was put
into the same cage, an-d the lady now
has the entire family. They seem

) NO RECOMMENDATION.
‘A Boy’s Errand in Search of Work. A
| Pathetic Recital.
- “Please, sir, do you want a boy?”
It was a low, clear voice, with just
‘the faintest tremor of apprehension
in it. He stood at the door of the
‘counting room, his hat in his h'and,
his clothing neat and clean, his atti
tude waiting and deferential.
~ The long, well-filled counter in the
narrow room were lost in dim per
spective. Clerks hurried hither and
thither. In the rear of the store wak
heard the sound of hammers and the
creaking of the elevator. Though it
was but nine o’clock in the morning,
and the sun shining brightly outside,
it was so gloomy in the storeroom
that the gas had to be lit.
“Do I want a boy?” asked the own
er of the store turning round in his
chair, and looking sharply over his
spectacles, “What can you do ?”’
“Make myself useful, I hope, re
plied the boy.
“Oh, a generdl utflity nfan!” And
Mr. Lansing faughed “Can *you
write 7"’
“I am a graduate of the high school,
sir.”
- “Are you? That speaks well for
you, what is your name?”’
“Gabriel Winchester.”
“Is your father living ?”’
“He died in Libby Prison.”
Mr. Lansing eyed him more keenly
when he said that and more kindly.
“I am the only support of my moth
er,” the boy said, his voice husky,
almost the only support. She man
ages to secure work one day in the
week.”
The merchant was pleased with the
boy’s preciseness.
The head bookkeeper, an old gray
haired gentleman, with a benign face,
had turned from his desk, attracted
by the boy’s voice and the character
of his replies.
“Where were you last employed ?”
Mr. Lansing asked.
“At the office of the Argus.”
#As a compositor !’
“No, but I expected to be. 1 was
a copy holder sir.”
Mr. Lansing took off his glasses
and wiped them.
“Have you any recommendations ?”’
he asked.
“Noj sir.”
“Why not?”
The lad’s lip trembled.
“l—was—discharged,” came at
last, in a faint tone.
“Oh, that’s it eh?” And Mr. Lan
sing frowned. *“No wonder they
gave you no recommendation. It
strikes me you do not lack assurance.
No, I do not want a boy.”
He spoke with needless acrimony,
wheeled round in his chair, and re
sumed his paper. He was a church
member, and admired mnothing so
much as integrity of character. Ca
pacity, reliability and stainless repu
tation were three things upon which
he insisted in the selection of his em
ployees.
The boy’s face fell, and he turned
to go; but the book-keeper threw
him a sign to wait for a few moments.
He had been strangely drawn to
ward the boy. There was something
manly in his face, something self-con
tained in his bearing, much that
was frank and fearless in his glance.
“Mr. Lansing,” the book-keeper
said, respectfully, “perhaps it was
candor in the boy, not assurance.
Will you allow me to ask him one
question 77
“Oh, a dozen of them,” replied
Mr. Lansing, crustily, not lifting his
eyes from his paper.
“Perhaps you should have made
one more inquiry,” the book-keeper
said.
- “My lad, why were you discharg
ed?”’
“Because I would not work on
Sunday,” came back the reply stead
ily and bravely. -
“What is that you say ¥’
#¢ was Mr. Lansing that spoke, and
im @ e nore quick and loud than
was usudi dor him. He had thrown
down hiz paper apd fixed his keen
eyes on the boy, ;
“T was discharged because I would
not work on Sunday,” the lad repeat
ed. “They started a Sunday paper
in the office last week The men and
boys laughed at me, but I didn’t care.
I couldn’t work on that day, sir.”
There was a resolute look on his
face, and he seemed to grow an inch
or two taller. |
“No—and you were right,” declar
«2d Mr. Lansing, in a strong, gratified
v oice. Just sit down a minute.”
His opinion of the boy had entirely
changed. He left the counting-room
with that quick, nervous tread pecu
liar o him. In fifteen minutes he
retur.ued. He had been to the office
}of the Argus. The boy’s story was
correc t. The proprietor of the paper,
la cru gty impatient old gentleman,
had nothing to say in the boy’s favor ;
but the editor and foreman were pro
nounced in their praise.
“Ido want a boy,” said Mr. Lan
sing, as he placed his hand on the
petitioner’s head. “I believe you
will suit me. Come here at this hour
to-morrow morning.”
A grateful look shone on the boy’s
face. ‘““l'hank you, sir,” he said. He
bowed politely, then withdrew.
“Mr. Doyle,” said Mr. Lansing to
his head book-keeper, ‘“you have
taught me a lesson. We can come
wiae of the truth, and do great injus
tice to one another simply by ‘asking
one question too few.—[ Golden Days.
MONEY IN THE MAILS.
While the service examination was
quietly progressing in the United
States Court room a tew days ago,
says the Savannah News, Mr. Lyman
and Postmaster Wilson got to chat
ting about mail matter and the effic
iency of the postal service. Mr. Ly
man, Chief of the Examining Board,
was Chief Qlerk in the Treasury De
partmeht for five years. In that pe
riod his mail was perhaps larger than
that of any person in the United
States. He had from 100 to 300 let
ters a day. He said: “The letters
were thrown ona table in front of
me, an attendant cut the end ot each
envelope, and I opened every letter,
glanced over the contents, counted
the money inclosed, put it back and
passed it to a clerk. In that way I
have disposed of 500 letters in two
hours. In the five years that [ was
chief clerk I received $40,000,000 by
mail, or an average of $26,000 a day.
I always had a man to watch me.
Often the envelopes were stuffed so
full of greenbacks that they resem
bled in size and shape a man’s arm.
You would be surprised at the
amount of money sent in unregister
ed letters. I once fook $lOO,OOO
from an envelope that had two 3-cent
stamps on it, stuck in one corner.”
“The sender was taking a great
risk,” remarked Postmaster Wilson.
“That could have been stolen and
never detected.”
“Official mail is held in great re
spect by the majority,” replied Mr.
Lyman. Those notes were in large
denominations—#s,ooo and $lO,OOO
certificates. It was at the time when
the use of specie was being resumed.
One New York banking firm never
registered their letters. They wou]dl
seal $lO,OOO or 20,000 in a large en
velope, put two 3-cent stamps on it‘
and throw it into letter box at thc"
post office. They told me they found
their losses averaged less than the
express charges would be. They
sent away $50,000 a week, and said it
did not pay to register or express
money.”
“PATRONIZE YOUR OWN.”
A printer stood at the desk of a
business man the other day and no
ticed him using letter and note heads
which he had bought of a New York
or Buffalo house. Said the printer,
who was a customer: “What would
you think of me if I should go to
New York and buy your line of goods
for myself and family?’ The mer
chant replied: “I would think you
a fool when I know you can get the
same goods just as cheap of me and
also aid a fellow citizen.” When the
printer called his attention to the im
portant letter and bill heads, the
merchant coughed and walked up be
hind the counter to wait on a cus
tomer. And the same merchant, just
the day before, asked the printer to
give him a puff about his big stock of
new goods! When bills from the pa
per mill and type foundry come in
and the wages of employes become
due, the printer thought of these
things. Local bankers, bakers, dry
good merchants, grocers, druggists
and other business men should think
of the above facts sometimes.— Vor
wich (N. Y.) Telegraph.
UNEARTHED TREASURE. ‘
A pocketbook full of papers aggre
gating in value $lOO,OOO was dug up
by workmen excavating at Fort‘
Worth, Texas. Among the contents
are certificates of deposit in the Wa
co National Bank, and Hill County
National Bank amounting to several
thousand dollars, also a promissory
note, cancelled, aggregating over
$lOO,OOO. Besides these were bills
of exchange amounting to $3,000.
The certificateo of deposit are in fa
vor of A. D. Treadwell. The bills of
exchange are also drawn in his favor.
Treadwell is a prominent cattleman
of Fort Worth, and at the time of
losing or being robbed of his pocket
book was on his way to attend a cat
tlemen’s convention at St. Louis.
The police say that no report of such
a robbery was ever reported to them.
1t is said that $lO,OOO could be real
ized on some of the papers without
trouble.

I A STINGY MAN.
| “Idon’t mind a man being eco
nomical,” said Colonel Bonely, “but
Ido despise to see stingyness. You
allknown John Nutwing—fellow that
used to sell soda water and grumble
when a customer insisted on taking
it with syrup. Well he was the sting
iest man I ever saw. Why, sir he,
‘was 80 stingy that he used tolet his
meat spoil, said he couldn’t afford to
eat it, it was so valuable. One day a
cart came along with a barrel of wa
ter. Justas it passed John’s gate
the thing broke down. Well, sir,
John went out, caught half the water

he couldn’t afford to see anything
wasted. Oh, yes, he was close. I
was with him when he died. He was
perfectly willing, though he dreaded
the expense of having a grave dug.
“Colonel,” said he, addressing me in
‘that anxious way that had become
one of his characteristics, “can’t you

so valuable I can’t afford it.” “Youw

“Perhaps you may recover.” “Oh,
no, I'm gone,” he replied. “I took
poison just before sending for you.
I decided that I could not afford to

confounded druggist cheated me.
I had to pay five cents tor the poison.
He should have given me two doses

He was so stingy thathe died with

COLD FACTS.
Felicity (Ohio) Times.
Merchants and others too frequent
ly get it into their heads that when
times are hard they cannot afford to
advertise. A greater mistake was
never made. When times are hard
every one is on the lookout for good
bargains. When a man has plenty
of money he spends it more lavishly
than when he has little. When a
man is hard up he desires to buy all
for his money that he can. The
wide-awake merchant takes advan
tage of his feeling and advertises
his bargans. Proper advertising in
hard times yields a greater profit
‘than at any other time.

} There are few duties more pressing
} than that of debt-paying. This is
particularly true at this season of the
year. The person who has no mon
ey can’t pay out any, as a matter of
course; but if every debtor who has
money would use at least a portion of
it in meeting his obligations—letting
the future take care of itself, the strin
gency would not be so severe. A lit
tle money will pay a great deal of in
debtedness when it once starts out
on that mission, with a purpose to
keep going. This is a very short ser
mon, but it teaches a lesson in duty
that will outlive those that are in
tended to be benefitted by it.—Alba

What 8. S. 8. is Doeing for Me.
I have suffered a long time with
cancer and skin eruption. The best
physicians tested their skill, but said
they could do nothing more for me.
I have taken less than a half dozen
bottles of Swift’s Specific, and to my
surprice as well as to the wonder ot
all my friends, my face has pealed off,
the skin is smooth and clear, my eye
is almost well, and the cancer on my
neck is drying up. I have gaired
five pounds in flesh during the last
month, and am now in better health
than 1 have been for eleven years.
A terrible load has been lifted off of
me. D. A. HupgLson.

Free from Malaria.
In the fall of 1884 I was taken with
i case of malarial fever which pros
trated me both body and mind. I
was drugged after the old fashion
with mercury and other mineral mix
tures, but with no good results. My
health was shattered and my energy
gone. My legs and feet would swell,
and I had what everybody thought
was the dropsy. These symptoms
alarmed me and I was ready to grasp
at any remedy suggested. A friend
advised me to try Swift's Specific. 1
procured three bottles and commenc
ed its use. The swelling soon subsid
‘ed. I have taken the three bottles,
l\\hich have made a perfect cure, and
I feel like a new man to-day. There
never was a more meritorious medi
cine offered to suffering humanity.
It has wrought wonders for me.
