ijfK The Summer Rain. Tears of heaven, happy tears, as if the glad sun had laughed until they streamed from his ruddy checks in pure wantonness of joy. Each drop that kisses the velvety checks of the earth is bainf for a hun dred wounds, solace for a thousand ungratified longings. Aud blue eyed June will smile all the brighter on the morrow; the grass-growu valleys will shine all the greener, and the dancing rills will frolic all the merrier for the falling of the summer raiu. Poor, laiut-hearted mortality that is forever worrying and dreading that the earth and sky and running water will not afford sufficient material for the sustenance of these weakening bodies, raises a thankful eye to heav en and wonders if there will be enough to make thu corn grow. But the flowers, and the birds, and the faithful bees never stop to ques tion. They simply trust in God and revel in the glorious gift of the sum mer rain. Thev know that He con trolleth the sunshine aud the south wind, aud holdeth the waters in the hollow of his hand. So, to them, the enjoyment is not of avarice, not of half-satisfied wistfulness mixed with doubt, but the pure and simple real ization of the promise that He vouch safed them when the corner stone of the world was laid. Tears of heaven, happy tears of gladness! Tears that arc caught in the hand of the spirit of joy and flung far and wide over wood, field aud meadow to bless and to brighten the earth and those that dwell therein!— Constitution. “See here,” said a big man, in angry voice, as he rushed into a cheap clothing store, “you are a swindler—a rank, unmitiegated swindler, without any principle or sentiment of honesty. That’s what you are.” “My vrendt, vot is dc madder?” nsked the merchant in a conciliating tone. “You have no right to call me dose names.” “I haven’t! Hook at this coat that I gave you $8 for. It’s all pulling apart, and look at the vest aud these pants. They look like a cyclone had put ’em on to go out west in.” “Und for dot you call me swindler?” “You bet I do.” “My vrendt, you forget one ting.” “What is that?” “You should nefer shudge a man by his cloding.” “WHAT MEDICINES ARE MOST CALLED FOR ? ” naked the reporter of an old druggist. “ Dr. Pierce's preparations,” he replied. ••They arc sold under a poaitivo guar antee that they will, in every case, give satisfaction, or the money is promptly re funded. His ‘Favorite Prescription, for all those chronic weaknesses, nervous and other derangements peculiar to women, is used with unfailing success, it cures weak back, bear ing-down sensations, irregularities and weak nesses common to the sex. and being the most perfect of tonic medicines builds up and strengthens the entire system.

Already it takes 888,000,000 a year to meet tbe large aud ever-iu creasing pensioners’ list, and the offi cial announcement is made that next year it will reach 8108,000,000. Kvery “hacking cough” that tack les an old soldier (or rather an old bummer, siuce the real soldiers will never defraud their government ) fur nishes him a pretty safe passport to the pension office. He can easily enough make oath that he “caught that cold during the war,” although it took it twenty-five years to devel op. A rheumatic pain or a tooth ache is worth more than a good-sized bank account. The people of the country, without regard to section, party or milithry service during the war, cheerfully submit to taxation' for the brave men who did their duty and suffered in jury and disability in the service. But against the policy of pensioning camp-followers, bummers and bounty- jumpers, the most respectable north ern republican journals are them selves protesting.—Times-Union, nvillc. Jackson \ Drifting Back. President Harrison, in his opening remarks at'the great relief meeting in Washington, over which he presided, said, in speaking of Jacksonville’s contribution: “I am glad to say that early this morning, from a city not long ago vis ited by pestdence, not long ago itself appealing to the charitable people of the whole land for relief, the city of Jacksonville, Fla , there came the ebb of that tide of charity which flowed towards it in the time ot its need, in a telegram Irom the sanitary relief asso ciation, authorizing me to draw upon them for $2 000 for the relief of the Pennsylvania sufferers.” The north poured thousands and thousands of dollars into the yellow fever towns, and now the bread which they cast upon the waters, in the name of charity and humanity, is drifting back to them.
