Itcmcmlier, Denis, all I bade you say,
Tell him we’er well and happy, thank

You'll mind, avick, and never say a

Of cares ami troubles, sure, we’ve

The finest summer isn't always

Tell him the spotted heifer calved in
May;
She died, poor thing; hut that you

Nor how the constant rain destroyed
the hay;
JJat tell him God to us was ever kind.
And when the fever spread the

Ills mercy kept the sickness”

pathy over the shoulder. It is so pleas
ant iu witness the agony of a triend
and to advise him to bear ii like a

Sleeping Flowers.—Almost all
flowers sleep iluiing the night. The
marigold goen to be*I with the sun. and
with him rises weeping. Many plants
are so sensitive that they dose tlu-ir
leaves during the passage of a cloud.
The dandelion otrens at live or six in
the evening. The gouFs-befud wakes
at three iu the morning, and shuts at
five or six iu the evening. Th.»
glish daisy shuts tip it-* blossom* in t.$e
evening, and opens its “days eye” to

others, elo^e their hlosstjms at differ
ent hours toward the evening. The
ivy-leaved 1< ttucc opens at eight in
the moruing. and closes forever at
four iq the afternoon. The night-
blooming ccrcus turns night iuto day.
It begins to expand its magnificent
s»ect-scente«l blossoms in the twilight:
it is full-blown at midnight, and closes
uever to open again, with the dwn of

IIow Fast Sound Travels.—Josh
Billings was asked, “IIow last does
sound travel?’’ Ilia idea is that it de
pends a good deal upon the noise you
are talking about. “The sound ov a
dinner horn for instance, travels half
a mile in a second, wide an mvita*huu

toot hung lire. Either it wsi

dentist had exhausted lus reach, ami
the root was not yet entirely out.
Spivins ventured to impure if the
root was not mutually long; hut that
dentist was not going to admit that
anything could happen that 1 ud not
already occurred iu his experience.
“Not at all,” he replied. “I have
often pulled teeth whose loots reached
down to the hips.”
He mounted a chair nml took an
other pull. He thus succeeded in get
ting away with about a yard of the
tooth, but tlie root continued to bang.
At the same time the patient’.-, leg be
low the knee, was violent!}* jerked
Sp’.vms ventured to say that this
was surely an unusual case.
‘*It is a little singular,” replied the
dentist, “but I once pulled a tooth
whose roots reached down to the man’s
knees ”
Having thus extinguished lus ques
tioner, he tied his j aticnt to the chair
ami straightened out his leg Uv put
ting it in splint*. Then he took the
forceps over his shoulder and walked
away like a deck hand going up a bauk
with a big rope.
When lie reached the parlor door
ho braced himself against the jam,
and laid hack for a final pull
The tooth popped out this time, but
the dentist made the most noise when
he reached the floor.
Spivins jumpel forward and picked
up the latter end of that tooth,
r *ot had two prongs, and on
end ol each prong was a toe nail.
“That’s what hurt you so.” said Spjv-
ins, eons ding his frieti I. whose scr«

The Man who won the 8100,-
v OOO.
Wc have learned from i>ersons who
ntc acquainted with him. the following
particulars regarding Mr. Lewis Hen
ry Keith, of Kingston, Muss., who is
said to have drawn the $100,000 in
the recent Public Library Lottery.
Mr. L. II. Keith is the only son of
r. Henry Keith, who was formerly
proprietor <»f the principal dry goods
store iu Kingston, and one ot that
town’s most respected and esteemed
inhabitants.
&ome years ago the elJer Mr. Keith
sold his’establishment and lemoved
to Boston, in which city he was rapid
ly accumulating money until unfortu
nately burned out by the great tire,
which calamity left him a comparative
ly poor man. * Mr. L. II. Keith, who
was born aud educated at Kingston,
entered Ins father’s store some years
ago, aud has continued iu'tliat estab
lishment since the removal of the lut-
to Boston. Ilf is about twenty
years of ago, tall, dark, good looking
and is universally well spokeu of.
About a year ago he embarked ia
named life, and will now be raatcri-
illy assisted tn defraying the expenses
of housekeeping by the trifle of money
which lie will receive from this city.
He lias one sister, who is younger
than himself and unmarried.
The Keith familv arc old settlers in
the Bay Stato, and arc very numerous
at Kingston and Campcllo, iu which
latter place they constitute a very
large part ot the population.
Mr. Keith has several relatives re*-
iden: in this city. Among others, Mr.
.inford Keith* the prominout boot
id shoe merchant, who i* a cousin of
the prize taker's father.

A Plain Talk.
’e clip the following from tllo La-
Grange lii-porter, and fully endorse it;
Last week a man came through La-
Grange with pV.cnt stamps for sale,
with which, he claimed, any man
could print his own business cards, Jcc.
He charged four dollars for the stamp
and sold a numbor of them to business
tell iu this place. The points wc
ant to make are these:
1. 1 but for livi dollars (one dollar
more than the cost of the stamp) no
oulfi print one thousand business
cards—enough to last almost any house
town as long ns the stump will la*t.
2. The eards printed ia this oflice
would be well printed; whereas, those
printed with the stamps alluded to are
blurred ami indistinct, and took like
the post mark on an envelope. In
fact they look so ugly that we doubt
not those who propose to use them are
i little ashamed ot their looks.
After paying nearly the mice of
i thousand ready printed cards for a
tamp, the purchaser must then buy
cards to print on, and do the Work
himself.
4. The stamps will not last very-
long—they will get gummed up; and if
they should not, the owners will sooti
get tired of using them.
5. We have iu vested our money in
types, presses, etc., for the purpose of
doing just this sort of work. Is it fair,
then, to give your patronage to a
strolling tinker, who has invested no
money in your midst, who cares noth
ing for the ntosnenty of your town,
and who takes the money you spend
and carries it away where you will
never hear of it again. What you
spend with us remains right here in
Lagrange, except such a portion as
necessarily goes abroad to purchase
paper and other material that cannot
be had here.
Wc are net given to grumbling, we
do not mean to grumble in this in
stance, for most of the gentlemen who
bought these stamps are patronizing
its otherwise. But we take this in
stance for an illustration of a general
principal, and that principal is • “ Be
fore you spend money away from home
sec if you caunot get what you want
at home.”

A Louisville drummer was the oth-
erdav giving Jiis experience in the
Bed River country. 1 chanced to be
a listener. “ In a small town below
Shreveport,” he said. **I was going
around with ruy samples, when I met
a green, gawk'.sh. eoutitiv fallow, with
two fancy red strings hauj ing down
on each side of his boot-leg*, which I
supposed were drawer-strings, not
knowing that they wore red strings
around their legs in that country for
ornament. In a spirit of kindness I
said: “Stranger, your drawer strings
are hanging down!” He gave me a
savage look pot his hand on bis pistol
belt, and drawled out: “ Look-a-bere.
mister, ire you running them strings?”
We learn that an Irishman who had
been employed at the cemetery some
time tine*, went to Washington to
draw lib jay. After receiving the
amount, the paymaster, discovered a
satire cut ou the face, re mat ke«l.
“You were ia the army during the
war?”
“Yc«.” said he.
“What command were you in?”
■ “In Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee's com
mand.”
“Did y.»u have the audacity to ap
ply at a Fodctfd cemetery lbr work
when you were iu the Rebel arms?”
“Ye*." -r^firtl t1»e Irishman, *T
helped to kill them, and I thought I
had a right to help bury them.’,
