THE MORTGAGE. We worked through spring am! "inter, through summer and through tall, But the mortgage worked the banket and the steadiest of them nil; It worked on nights and Sundays, it worked encli holiday; It settled down among us, and it never went away. Whatever we kept from it seemed almost as bad as theft; It watched ns every minute, and it ruled us right and lett. Tit- rust and blight were with lissome times, and sometimes not; The dark-browed, scowling mortgage, was forever on the spot. The weevil and the cutworm, they went as well as came; The mortgage stnyed forever, eating hearty nil the same. It nailed up every window, stood guard at every door. And happiness and sunshine made their place with us no more. Till, with failing crops and sickness, we got stalled upon the grade, And there came a day upon us " hen the interest wasn't paid: And there came a sharp foreclosure, and 1 kind o' lost my hold. And grew weary and discouraged, and the farm was cheaply sold. Anjl the children left and scattered, when they hardly yet were grown; My wife she pined and perished, and I found myself alone. What she died of was a “mystery, and the doctors never knew; But 1 knew.she. died of mortgage—just as well’s l wanted to. If to trace a hidden sorrow were within the doctor's art, They’d found a mortgage lying on that poor woman’s heart. Worm or beetle, drought or tempest, on far mer's land may fall, But for first-class ruination, trust a mort gage 'gainst them all. —Will Carleton. Too True. The more a newspaper man exerts his ability to please a whimpering public, the more good lie docs for a town, the more charitable lie becomes, the more lie is criticized. Speaking of this a writer said: “The man who cau run a newspaper without being Criticized^ censured and threatened has never been found, lie has a barren ideality, beautiful to think about, but incapable of taking on mortality and associating with vulgar humanity. It is as impossible for him to please everybody as it is for everybody to please him, and the sooner lie makes up his mind to this stubborn fact the better for every body 'concerned. If lie works hard for public good, he receives private censure; if he compliments merit, he is censured by jealous do merits; if he approves morality, he is curscd|hy immorality; if he tries to he fair, he is censured by the unfair; it he makes a mistake, few are found to overlook or apologize for him. No matter how good his motives may be, how innocent his purpose or how studied his writings, he is picked to pieces, misrepresented, maligned, ridiculed, sometimes linked and sel dom ever defended. lie works from twelve to fifteen hours a day for a hare living, while other men get rich around him. He works up a mar riage notice many yards long to til? cjuccu’s taste for nothing, and is threat cned with a libel suit or a duel if he records a drunken spree of the groom six months afterwards. Yes, it 'is impossible, we repeat, for a newspaper man to please everybody. As well attempt to chain the wind or stop the furious lightning.—Kx. A Good Man. “There,” said a neighbor, pointing to a village carpenter, “there is a man who has done more good, I really be lieve in this community than any other person who ever lived in it. lie cannot talk very much in public, and he does not try. lie is not worth 82,000, and it is very little lie can put dowu on subscription papers. But a new family never moves into the village that he does not find them a welcome and offer them some service. He is on the lookout to find strangers a scat in his pew at church. lie is always ready to watchwith a sick neigh bor and look after bis affairs for him. i believe he and his wife keep house plants in winter nmiuly that they may be able *to send little bouquets to friends and invalids, lie finds time for a pleasant word to every eliili^he meets and you’ll always see them climb ing into his one horse wa on when he has no other load. He has a genius for helping folks and does one good to meet him in the streets.--.St, Louis Globe Democrat. Dr. Talmagc tells us that during the afternoon of the Johnstown disas ter Kbmebody heard an iufidcl pray as follows: “OGod, if yon can give me any oid at this time I will he very much obliged to you.” IIEAI/MIFUE, EXERCISE. Only a few months ago these romplns, rosy- checked lasses were puny, delicate, pale, slcKly pirls. By the aid of I)r. Pierce’s world-famed Favorite Proscription, they have blossomed out into beautiful, plump, hale, hearty, strong young women. “Favorite Prescription” is an invigorating, restorative tonic and as a regulator and pro moter of functional action at that critical period of change from girlhood to woman hood, it is a perfectly safe remedial agent, and can produce only good results. It is care fully compounded, by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. Tt. is purely vegetable in its Composition and perfectly barmless in any condition of the system. It imparts strength to the whole system. For over worked, “ worn-out,” “run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequnled as an appetizing cor dial and restorative tonic. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under n positive intarantcc from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or monev will be refunded. This guarantee has been‘faithfully carried out for many years. Copyright, 1888, by World's Dis. Med.
