appointment Saturday night and Sunday.
The church in conference on Saturday

What Parents Fear.
t Many persons—especially parents —
i object to many quack nostrums as likely
I to engender or encourage a love for strong

disease than drunkenness. The use of

danger. It only builds up the system,

DangeruiiH Bowel Disorders.
Now that bowel disorders, such as
cholera, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, loose
ness, pains in the bowels, etc., are prev
oleut all over the country, all should pre
pare for sudden emergencies. “Mans
field’s Mississippi Diarrl oei Cordial” is
the standard remedy. It has stood the
test by untold thousands for upwards of
thirty years, and has never failed in a
-ingle instance. Every steamer plying
the “Father of Waters” Carnes it, and
.-dies upon it exclusively for the cure of
bowel disorders. One dose often alters
the secretions, and cures, and a few doses
never fail. Have it handy! It is sate,
reliable, and the best reme fy of the kind
i.i the world. Sold by all druggists.

HOW HE LOST HER.
On the outside of the fence that sepa
rated the grassy, well kept lawn from the
street, stood the mule. He was poor and
hungry, uni had evidently strayed from
home. Hts experience must have been
highly unsatisfactory, for he looked sad
and care worn.
The lovers wore seated in the parlor.
She was fair; he owned three shares of
the Valley Head Improvement Company,
ai d had bid off several public road con
tracts. lie wooed, and had resolved to
know his fate this very evening; and she
blushed as she read the fact in his looks.
“My dear Sylvia,” he commenced, as he
reached for her fair hand; “I think you
know" “Gee-haw! gee-ltaw-ah-ahl”
roared the ostrayed mule. He had discov
ered that the fence was a serious obstacle;
that it prevented him from cropping the
luxuriint grass that was so near.
The fair Sylvia sprang to her feet in
alarm, and it was some time before Val
ley Head Stock could quiet her. When
he had succeeded in doing this, he stop
ped to the window, and made threatening
gestures, and scowled darkly, at the mule.
Then he turned, grasped the fair maid
en's hand, and again commenced: “I have
been analyzing my feelings toward you,
and" —
gee-gee-ali-ah-ha!” broke in the
homeless, friendless mule, as he caught
the fragrant scent of the grass, roses, and
hyacinths, from the lawn. He saw things
as mules see them; he hungered as mules
hunger; he hankered as mules hanker.
• ft’s that animal again,” whispered
Valley Hea l Stock, ns the fair Sylvia ut
tered a shriek; and he again went to the
window, repeated the menacing gestures
and scowl, and supplemented them both
by ordering the outcast to move on, and
leave that locality without unnecessary
delay. Then Valley Head Stock ana the
fair one sat down again. He evident y
had something to saj, snd she was curi
ous to know what it wa*. It was some
time before he regained sufficient compos
ure to look into her lustrous eyes. The
expression he saw in them must have been
encouraging, for this time his arm stole
gently round the sofa (the tool! hugging
the sofa instead of the girl! he deserved
to lose her. Editor.), and his voice was
tremulous as he again es-ayed to clothe
his thoughts in language. “Ynn must
hava seen—you must know that I”
“O li h! gee gee alt-a’i-ah-hal” came a
voice from beneath the window. It. was
not the voice of a drilling sailor, going
down to a grave in the dark ocean, after
a gallant struggle for life: it was not the
voice of a lust child, longing for the ten
der arms of » mother to enfold it. It was
the poor mule; an I the demi-setni-quaver
and deep intensity of bis voice indicated
that the sight of the green lawn brought
io his mind tender recollections of the
daj s when
“he roamed at will,
Through paeturee that were green.
And by waters that were still”
Valley Head Stock again approached
the window, and, as he brandished his
fist in the air, he warned the intruder to
move on, under penalty of being found
dead the next morning.
When a rubber ball is flattened, it will
recover its former shape on the removal
oflhe pressure. When any one has been
interrupted three times, and in the way
in which Vallry Head Stock had been, it
takes time to recover. 'I hey sat there,
and gazed at the wall, as if they were
counting the stars on the wall-paper. Fi
nally she glanced coyly at him, and mur
mured: “You were about to say some
thing.” “1 was,” he replied, reaching
for her hand; “I was about to«;ty that the
kindness wi'h which you have rcceiv—”
“Hi p-h up! H a w-gee-b a w-gee-a l» I”
came a voice on the fl iwcr Scented night
breezes; a voice that halted, gasped, and
quivered sadly, as though its owner stood
by the grave of a dear departed friend.
It was not the voice of a night bird call
ing to its mate. It was not the voice of
the newsboy calling out “Summerville
Gazette, evening edition.” It was the
voice ol the mule. The tantalizing sight
of the grsen lawn through which he could
not roam, the succulent grass which he
cou'd nnt crop, made him sad a; heart;
and that sadness discovered itself in his
voice.
“What is that ?” asked Sylvania soft
ly-
“Its a blasted, infernal mule!” he ex
claimed.
“How dare you use such language in
my presence, sit?” she demanded.
"How dare they allow that mule to go
at large? ’he replied, pointing to-the
window. "I ll ill the mule that dated
to come between us!” and he rushed for
the door.
The owner of Valley Head stock
straightway declared war on that home
less, ushappy mule. He pelted his lank
sides with a stick; I e beat him with a
piece of plank which he tore from the
fence; and when the mule realized that
it was time to retreat, to vacate, he bat
tered him with rocks picked up along the
sidew t|k.
Halting under a tree that stood in the
quiet, precinct of the village; gazing
through the deepening shadows of the
night to discover why put suit had at hist
been abandoned; the much abused mule
se med to realize that even as a mu'e it
is better to have un accident insurance
policy i : hi* pocket; and he sighed and
tremulously solih q tiseil : "Gee-gee-ah
gee-gee-ah ha ha!” And the shadows of
Hie night darkened, and the bre.tz ■ play
ed mournful'y through the leaves of the
tree above him; the stars nestled behind
the clouds to avoid the sorrowful sight;
and he felt that he was a mule beloved
by none. s» * •
