TIIJE OLD DINNER HORN. When the blossom's bn the tater, an’ t5e tassel's on tne corn, An’ the ripenin’ tonmterses’ blush in’ like the morn. When the pole bean’s young an’ tender, an’ the inycu an’ the beet An* the cowcumber an’ cabbage is bout big enough to eat; When the jailer-leg spring chicken's . fried in butter “to a turn,” An’ corn pone's hot an’ buttermilk’s just ^ emptied from the churn, Oh, it’s then I like the music of the tootin dinner horn, When the blossom’s on the tater an’ the tassel,s on the com. When the scorchiu’ sun o’ Summer pours down on a feller's back, An’ him a workin’ fit to kill, a pilin' up the stack, With dusty jwcat a pourin' down his face into his eyes, An’ the thresher keeps a buzzin’ like a pan try full o' flics; When he feels about as holler ns the ever- lastin' skies* Then gets a sense o' goneness nothin’ else > can satisfy Like the appetizin’ music of the tootin’ din- no- horn, When the blossom’s on the tater an’ the talssel's on the corn. Milk an’ honey, ham an* eggs, an' biscuits hot an' light, Buckwheat cakes an’ tree merlasses ’s a mighty lucious sight; An’ roast spar’ rib, an' sweet pertaters baked in sassage meat. But buttermilk, and garding sass is mighty hard to bet, An’ when a feller’s empty from hisbuzzum to Ills boots, Tiler's a sight o’ liallyloolycr in the satisfy- in’ toot Of the women folks a blowin’ on the old tin dinner born, When the blossom’s 'on the tater an’ the tassel’s on the corn. Edwin 9. Hopkins in Judge. She Headed pirn: He had just come from a day’s fishing in the perch pond, and was in the act of opening his mouth to tell of his exploits, when his wife, closing . the book she had been reading, said : “Oh! it’s you, George, dear, I’m glad to see you back. It was so dull with you away that I took up the Bible to pass the time, and was reading the book of Revelations as you came in. That’s a wonder/;;; book. And just think, jt -says, ‘All liars shall have tlxhr part in the lake which buynetti.witli f lre and brim- stong.’" Have yau caught anything?” JT “No, Mary,” he answered, “I didn’t catch a thing, but I thought as I went out to get fish, we might as well have a string, so I called at the fish store and bought these.” She said she was glad to get the fish, and talked to him with much cheerfulness; but he was gloomy and pre-occupied, and scarcely said a word* in reply, and iu a short time, giving the excuse that he was tired, went oft to bed. Poor fellow! A Boston paper resurrects a rather curious bit of history, to show that a colored man was once elected to office in Massachusetts. This occurred as far back as 1840, in the little town of Townsend. At the town meeting about twenty abolitionists held the balance of power and would vote for neither party candidate. Finally both whigs and Democrats got mad and united to elect a negro to the legislature iu order to punish the aboliliouists. But, though elected, the negro did not take his scat. Pub lic sentiment would not allow him to do so. Townsend went unrepresent ed iu the legislature that year. There is a good deal that is instructive about this incident. The spirit that dictated the election of a negro as the greatest possible insult that could be put upon political antagonists, still lives even iu Massachusetts. The south possesses more of the ele ments of independence than any other portion of the country. We can raise all our feed supplies, and can produce the material and manufac- our own clothing. We can manufac. ture our own farming implements and machinery of all kinds from our own materials. Whenever we come to recognize the truth of these asser tions and avail oursclvc of the advan tages they afford us, our era of genu- iue prosperity will dawn. ' “Darling,” he said, “your eyes are bright as diamonds, your teeth as white as pearls, your lips as red as rubies, and—and—Yes, George,” she replied, sweetly, “and you’re as green as an emerald.” Then George wcut out into the jet black night. “If a woman is pretty, To me ’tis no matter, Be she blondo or brunette. So sho lets me look at her/ An unhealthy woman i3 rarely, if even beautiful. The peculiar diseases to which so many of the sex are subject, are prolific causes of palo sallow faces, blotched with un sightly pimples, dull, lustreless eyes and ema ciated forms. Women so afflicted, can be per manently cured by using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription; and with the restoration of health comes that beauty which, combined with good qualities of head and heart, makes women angels of loveliness. ., “ Favorito Prescription Iv medicine for •Id by druggists, positive _ tee from the manufacturers, that”it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will do refunded. It is a positive specific for all those painful disor ders, irregularities and weaknesses with which so many women are afflicted. Copyright, 1888, by World’s Dis. Med. Ass’n. DR.
