DEBT.
Writers have exhausted the vocab-"
ulary of words to find language by
which to impress upon the minds of
the people the evils of debt. Besides
the scriptural injunction: “Owe no
man,” we have had the advice of the
men who are experienced, and they
unite in saying that debt is a terrible
curse, the most terrible that ever
troubled a nation.
It fastens its hands upon all that
man holds dear, it keeps him biting
the dust, almost in despair; it keeps
his nose to a grindstone until he is
almost ready to give up hope of suc
cess in the future; jt harasses him day
and night; as long as he is in its pow
er peace of mind and ease of body
are almost impossible. This monster
has killed its_tens of thousands, blast
ed characters, and damned untold
numbers. It puts a spell on those
who are lured by its wiles which leads
to less of friends, property, and, sad
to say, loss of character.
When we look about us, and tee
the misery debt has caused, it is a
wonder that we are not so frightened
at the spectacle that we shall resolve
to fight the evil until it is crushed.
Aman who does not try to get out
of debt, and stay out when clear, is
the last to be benefited by progress
and advancement.
Debt is an enemy to progress, an
enemy to wealth, an enemy to educa
tion, and an enemy to God.
Debt is a robber of wives and chil
dren, a robber of character, and a
drawback to all who are ensnared by
its deceiving eharms
God grant that this shall be the
year in which the credit system is to
receive its death blow.
Can’t you say Amen, with a big
heavy sounding a ?
If all will combine we can have the
pleasure of attending Mr. Debt’s fu
neral this fall.

A STINGY MAN.
“I don’t mind a man’s being eco
nomical,” said Colonel Bonely, “but I
do despise to see stinginess. You all
know John Nutwing—tbe fellow that
used to sell soda-water, and grumble
when a customer insisted on taking it
with syrup. Well, he was the stingiest
man I ever saw. Why, sir, he was so
stingy that he used to let 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 water. Just as
it passed John's gate the thing broke
down. Well, sir, John went out, caught
half the water, and poured it into his
well. He said that 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, address
ing me in that anxious way that had
become one of his characteristics, ‘can
not you gut some of the boys, and in
duce them to dig the grave as a mat
ter of accommodation? I did intend to
be buried under the pear tree, but the
land is so valuable 1 can’t afford it.’
•You don’t seem to be very sick,’ said
I; ‘perhaps you may recover.’ ‘Oh no.
I’m gone,’ he replied. ‘I took poison
just before sending for you. I decided
that I could uot afford to live. It is
too expensive. After a fellow dies, you
know, and gets sett'ed down, the ox
pease ceases. That confounded drug
gist cheated me. I had to pay five cents
for tb« poison. He should have given
me two dose sfor that sum.’ He was
so stingy that he died without a strug
gle. Taking everything into consid
eration, John was the closest man I
ever saw.— Marietta Journal.

BED JIM THE BOBBER.
Oc a beautiful summer afternoon in the
year 1879, says the Kansas City Times, as
” the stage bound for Deadwood was near
, ing Dead Man’s Guleh, it suddenly came
( to a halt, and, before the passengers bad
| time to inquire the cause, they were start
led by hearing the blood curdling com
mand: “Throw up your hands if you val
-1 ue your life.” At the same time two men
' mounted the platform, and covered them
with two deadly-looking revolvers. Every
; one obeyed with alacrity, for they had all
heard of the daring and bloody deeds of
I Red Jim, the Dakota road agent, and
knew that to disobey meant instant death.
Outside a robber held a cocked revolver
on the driver, who was instructed to keep
his horses quiet; one of the other men
stood in the door of the coaeh, and kept
tbe passengers passive, with a navy-six
■ covering them, while the other went in
. side the coach, and began relieving them
of their money and valuable* with polite
ness and courtesy worthy a better cause.
“Lady, oblige me by handing me that
handsome chain and Chryselephantine
pendant you have around your neck.
Thank you!” he replied as the lady pass
! ed it over, too frightened to expostulate.
After al! the passengers had been at
tended to in like manner, Red Jim re
marked: “Ladies and gentlemen. I trust
I have no* lowered myself in your esti
mation by the manner in which I solicit
ed contributions for the poor. You see
I get a small commission for collecting,
and am willing to do anything to make
an honest penny. Wishing you all a
pleasant journey, I bid you a good even
ing,” and with a merry ringing laugh he
sauntered leisurely out of the stage, re
marking, “Audaces fortuna juyat.”
When he was out, the bandit at the
door stepped lightly to the ground, and
Red Jim, thanking the driver for tbe
way ho handled bis horses, told him he
could drive on. When the stage turned
the bond, about a hundred yards away,
Red Jim and his pals mounted their
horses and rode efl into the shadow of
the woods. Red Jim was the first to
speak: "Boys, we will go over on the
rail now, and solicit a contribution from
that old prospector and then go into
camp and divi ic the good things the
Lord ha» caused to full in our way. That
was a good haul we made just now.”
“You bet," said Searface Charley, one
of his pals, “and if wo can only beg a loan
of that old prospector, who, I think, will
be along this evening, wo can afford to
lay up for a week or two.’’
That night as the bandits sat around
their camp fire they talked of the advent
ure of the day with rough jest and hearty
laughter. After they had finished their
supper of roast venison, bread and coffee.
Red Jim remarked:
"Boys, I have done so much hard
work to-day it has given me a hearty ap
petite, and I have really enjoyed tny sup
per; in fact, more than usual, and you
all know 1 take a good deal of exercise
g-neraVy."
At this remark they all laughed hear
tily, and one of his comrades replied :
“Jim, 1 don't see how you stand so
much manual labor. If you don't take
mor# rest you will soon be a physical
wreck.”
At this the laugh went round again.
"Bring the bag of things we got from
the stage and lot's divide, boys,” said
Jim, sitting down in front of the fire.
“Hero’s the old prospector's purse. 1
don't know how much it contains, but 1
judge about $2,000.”
Scarfice Charley brought the bag and
deposited it in front of Red Jim, and, to
gether with Limping Tom, they seated
themselves on the ground.
“We will divide the money first,” said
Jim, and opening the prospector’s wallet
he took out a large roll of bills and com
menced to oouut them.
“Fifteen hundred and seventy-five dol
lars,” he said as he finished counting;
“that’s $525 each.’’
After dividing it equally he handed
each man his share, and then, picking
up the bag, he emptied its contents on
the ground.
"We will see how much is in these
two pockets,” he said, at the same time
picking them up from amongst the
watches aud other jewelry they had got
from the stage.
“Six hundred dollars more here,” he
said, addressing his two pals, at the same
time banding them S2OO apiece.
“I'll swear," said Limping Tom, who
was an old Boston crook; “look at the
tickers, and sparklers, too; it just makes
my mouth water. You bet your life we
have done a good business to-day.”
“There's five tickers and three spark
lers," remarked Jim, “and the chain and
pendant. There are two watches and a
pin apiece for you two, and I will keep
this large gold watch aud chain and pen
dant, which, with my pin, I guess will
make tbe divvy about right.”
All expressed themselves satisfied with
the division.
"I am going to examine my Christmas
presents,” said Red Jim. At the same
time he threw more brush and wood on
the fire, which made it blaze up bright
ly. All the time when not talking he
bad been humming a tune softly to him- I
self.
“Boys,” be said, looking up, “I don’t i
know what is the matter with ma to- I
night. I keep humming an old song I
used to hear at Sundaj- school when a
boy. 1 feel kinder queer anyhow, to
night.”
"1 hope you ain't going to desert us
and turn preacher,” said Searfaeu Char
ley with a laugh.
“I don't guess there is any danger of 1
that,” replied Jim; “especially the
preacher put. But I will tell you: When
a boy I had good Christian parents, and
bad I followed their teachings I would
now be leading a different life. I have ■
never fancied this way ofmaking a living
very much and only for that confounded
barroom trouble at Leadville I might
now be leading a different life. But I
have been in so many unlawful acts that
I could not go in now if I wanted to. So
while the fire is burning brightly I will
look at the things which we were fortun
ate enough to borrow to-day.” With
that he drew up nearer the fire and exam
ined one article after another until he
came to the chain and pendant, which he
picked up and turned over and over in
his hands.
“I'll swear! This thing opens!” be ex
claimed. “I guess we will see the lady's
sweetheart on the inside.”
With that he pressed the spring and
the locket flew open. Red Jim started
back with an exclamation of surprise.
“What is the matter,” cried Limping
Tom; “is it so ugly it frightens you?”
“No jesting,” said Red Jim. angrily.
“I am in no mo id for jesting. What I
saw in the locket was a picture of my
mother, and it must have been my sister
from whom I stole it. The first glimpse
of the picture made me feel as if I were
locking io the face of my long lost moth
er, for she died when I was a toy, twen
ty years ago. How well do I remember
the morning she died. She called me to
her bedside, and placing h«r hand on try
head she said: ‘My boy, I am 'going to
leave you, and when I am gone you will
have nobody to guide your erring foot
steps. Had the good Lord seen fit to let
me remain on this earth I would have
brought you up a good exemplary Chris
tian. But with no one to guide you you
will have a hatd time overcoming the
trials and temptations of this wicked
world- And, son, promise me you will
try and lead a Christian life and meet me
in heaven.' "
At this point Red Jim’s emotion over
came him, ami he bowed his head on bis
chest and remained motionless lor several
minutes. When he looked up his cheeks
were still wet with tears, and when he
spoke his voice was husky with emotion.
“Boys," he said, “from this on I am
going to lead a different life. It is not
too late yet, for I remember reading in
some bonk that the vilest sinner can re
turn, and I wi-h you boys would turnover
a new leaf, too. I have got money enough
to take mo to Europe, and in the morn
ing I will disguise myself and “tart for the
coast, anti once across the water I will
try by Christian acts to atone for my sin
ful past.”
In the fall of 1883, while the writer
traveled through England, ho visited
the cutlery works of Sheffield, and while
there a friend insisted on his accompany
ing him to a country meeting-house,
where there was a revival in progress.
The writer did so, and when the preach
er entered the pulpit he recognized Red
Jim, the once noted road agent of Dako
ta On inquiry he was informed that
Brother Raymond, for that was the name
Red Jim went by, had been preaching
lor three years, and that he was beloved
by everyone that knew him. And thus
it was that a mother's picture was the
cause of a road agent’s reform. As for
Red Jim's two pals, Scarface Charley
and Limping'lom, they were afterwards
killed by sows miners whom they were
trying to rob.

Nervousness.
The moment there is danger of impair
ment of the mind from exessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
shunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, Pfruna and
Manalin should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait so long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak, sight, pecu
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion ;
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying com
paratively good health. In all these Pe
runa and Manalin should at once be
taken.

eased at one time or another. 1 had about
given up all hopes, when I commenced
taking Peruna and MAN ALIN. I im
mediately began to improve, the soreness
and pain disappeared, strength gradually
returned, and now I am as well as ever
in my life, and I owe it all to your Peru
na and Mana LIN. I recommended it
to my friends and it gives better satisfac
tion than any other medicine 1 ever heard
ot.”
Miss Maria Roderick, Warren, Ohio,
writes: “It is with pleasure and many
thanks that I write to you to tell you of
the great benefit 1 have derived from the
use of the Perun a. I have used several
bottles of your PERUNA, and can safely
say it has done me a great deal of good.
I have improved ever since I commenced
its use.”
Mr. T. J. Webber, Plymouth, 0.,
writes : “ I am selling your Peruna, and
having a good trade on it. It gives ex
cellent satisfaction.”
Mr. Thomas Acton, Brooklyn Village,
Cleveland, Ohio, says: “ I received a
severe wound in my toot by tramping on

applications and the taking of your Pe
run a and Man a UN were followed to tins
letter, and, thanks to you, mv is en
tirely well, and I am happy.”
