A Little Boy’s Happiness.
A In. W. Beider in Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.
I saw a little boy who had finished
his fit's* week battling with the world,
going home on the street car Satur
day night.
He was tired out, an I in his arms
he lugged a large, dark-green water
melon purchased for the home folks
with'a portion of his scanty salary.
He looked lonesome, and felt a little
lonesome, too, but he was proud to
think that he was making money like a
grown up man.
“A feller gets mighty tired of work
ing,’' I heard him say to a motherly-
looking old colored aunty, "for, you
sec, they won’t let him sit down, and I
tell you it’s hard.”
“I wish you’d ring that bell for me,’’
lie continued, as lie tussled with the
slippery melon, “I hate to stop the
car, it looks so much like a woman,
but this watermelon’s so heavy I’m
afraid I’ll fall down if I don't stop it.
I bought it with my own money.”
The car stopped and hs shuffled off
dewn the street hugging the melon to
his breast, happy in the thought of
having purchased it for the pleasure of
others with his own money.
So the world goes. We work and
toil and strive, but how little of our
earnings we keep lor ourselves. But
after all, this is the only true secret of
happiness, giving pleasure to others
and the only miserable man is he who
lives for self alone.
Said an old railway engineer tlic-
otherday: “There arc three kinds
of trains that I do not want to have
anything to do with. One is the pay
train. You never know when you
will overtake the section hands. You
will be going at the rate of forty
miles ain hour, away you go around a
curve and you will dash by the boss
and hands and have to back back to
them. There is always a good deal
of talk over the wages and much time
is taken up. The next unpleasant
train to handle is an excursion train.
Every one living along the line of
road knows you by seeing you come
by every day and they think you
know them as well. When on an
excursion they presume upon their
•riendship to endeavor to ride on the
engine. No other place will do them.
The engineer has to refuse them, as it
would amout to docking his wages
from thirty to sixty days, if lie com
plied, as it is positively against the
rules of the road. The persons de
nied the privilege always feel hard
about it, and look upon the engineer
as unaccommodating. The last and
worst of all, however, is the officer’s
train. If you run slow they say you
are scared and fear to run fast. If
you make good time they say you
are careless and reckless, and want to
kill somebody. You can’t suit
them.”
Those Disobliging Men at the
Windows.
From the Detroit Free Pre«s.
“This letter is to my husband,” she
said as she licked on a stamp at the
window in the corridor ol the post
office.
“Yes’m.”
“Will it go out to-day?”
“Yes’m.”
“By the first mail ?”
“Yes’m.”
“He ought to get it day after to
morrow ?”
“Yes’m.”
“And I ought to have a letter by
Saturday?”
“Yes’m.”
“It isn’t over weight?”
“No’rn."
“And if he gets it, and if 1 get bis
answer by Saturday, I can write ”
“Please don’t obstruct the window,
roa’ojn; there’s forty people waiting.”
“Oh! there arc! That’s always the
•way of it. I caunot get a wotd of
information out of this jwstoffice, tty
as I will. Good day, sir! I'll go
across to Canada after this!”
WOMEN ANO MICE.
The renson why a woman is afraid of ft
mouse is ft profound myetery—indoed, it hns
never been very closely proven that'she is.
Hut some women are constantly in such a
nervous, irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause of
this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional derangement: some distress
ing or painful irregularity, some derange
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex; or, it may be due to intlammation, ul
ceration or displacement, of some of tho
pelvic viscera, or to other organic lesions
peculiar to her sex. From whichever cause
ft may arise, Dr. Tierce s Favorite Prescrip
tion is a positive rnnetty, so certain in its
curative results that its manufacturers sell
it, through druggists, under a yuaranttx of
its giving satisfaction in every case, or
money paid for it will Ik* promptly re
funded. As a soothing and strengthening
nervine, “Favorite Prescription” is une-
a ualed and is invaluable in allaying and sub-
uing nervous excitability, irritability, ex
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other distressing, nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
Bleep and relieves mental anxiety and de
spondency.
