JX .... - 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.

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. ♦ •»- POLITICAL NEWS. The Ohio Republicans met in con veution at Springfield last Thursday, and nominated J. B. Foraker for gov ernor on the first ballot. The Republican members of the Tennessee legislature, by absenting themselves, left the body without a quorum, and prevented tbe passage of a registration law. Since Cleveland resigned the office of governor of New York, Lieutenant Governor Hill has filled the place. He aspires to be tbe next governor.

Thurman positively declines to be a candidate ibr the nomination for governor of Ohio. Young lad’es 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 that they did not wait long enough. If they never marry at all, they may console themselves with the thought that they have escaped a world of trouble, and that there are al [ ways some married women who envy ' their lot.— 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. ♦ •*. CRIMES.

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. Mrs. S. Smith, Hillsville, Lawrence County, Pa., writes: “ Dr. S. B. Hart man & Co..
