It la good for a town man or a city man to take a day off occasion ally nnd spend it in tho country. It will givo him a frosli start, a how lcaso upon hro when ho got* back tow ' Sometimes it saves doctor bills \ nometiuiio nwakons a ntitnonts and omotionB Iona since smothered or forgotten and makes him fuel liko Binging “Oh. would l wero a buy again."

Scratching is r healthy business. It is the poor man's modi- eino. I was ruminating about this bccatmo I tried it day before y* storday. Homo of my folks of tho mosoulino gelid* r invited mo to t *ko a stroll with them. They said it help mo, and my wifo advised mo to think Blio was tired seeing mo mope around looking liko I was half dead and didn't lmVo a 11lend in the World, and so I Joined tho port trinns not knowing how far or wlu-ro they w going. Wo walked the railroad track for about a mdo and then diverged into a strip of woods that liod a barbed wire fence around it. They had to go through that wood they mid, and so they sprung tho bottom wiro as high as they could and kindly invited mo to humblo myself that 1 might bo exalted on tho other side. Right there my troubles began. I got down like un elephant and rolled under tho wire barely egoaping tho stickers, and then wo per ambulated through half a milo of tangled un dergrowth that, k»p! luo slipping on tho pino straw and dodging the bushes, and nil tho time trying to keep up with thoir younger and longer logs and mnko no sign. One of thorn l' t a stickory limb Hop back in my eye and set it to blooding, but still I made no sign, for I hnvo some of my youthful game in mo. By and by wo came to tho barbed wiro fence on the other sido of tlio wood lot, and I had to lie down and roll over again liko a liun- drcd-dollar horso, nnd that brought us into a fresh plowed Held, whore tlio corn had Just been planted, and by tho time l followed them through that I was covered all over with a sweat of perspiration Mid was so tired 1 was afraid to stop for fear 1 would never be able to start again. After awhilo wo camo to a branch that flowed down a ditch about six feet wide and four feet deep. My unfooling companions took a little running start nnd cleared tlio ditch c sily and Just tramped on without look ing back to sou what hau become of mo, but still 1 was game. I made for that ditch with malice aforethought and caught on the bank and pulled my wet legs after mo with alacrity and waddlod on. I saw one of my chaperons look back on tlio sly, and Himii 1 Logan to sm- peot that they had laid a plan to put mo through for tho benefit of my constitution. In course of time I nad to roll under two moro wire fences and orom Dr. Felton’s branch, which is just three miles from town by tho big road, but a good dual furtlior tho way they took me ; but still I was gamo and made no sign. I even mado bold to talk admiringly of the scenery and stopped occasionally to pluck tho wild flowers that adorned the glades and hillsides. I carry now around with mo about 175 pounds of cor porosity, ami my center of gravity is some higher up than it mod to ho when Mrs. Arp was swoet sixto n. nnd I could mount a horse bareback at a singlo bound. Oh, I've soon tho day- y< «, I havcHoen the day that —Well, it’s no use bragging, for I will never hi o it again. Dr. Gaudier Haul in his beautiful sermon last Holiday that youth had no memo ries, but reveled in a thousind hopes. Ana ago hud a thousand memories nnd but a single hopo. That is so, and 1 am living in memories These young bucks kept tolling mo along like I was a cow following a fodder wagon, and by and by I heard or.o of them give a wild Injun whoop and ho started off in a run, crying “snake! snake I” 1 had a Rood cane and pausod for an attack from tlio reptilo, hut it was nothing but tho rim of nn ol</ straw hut that curled in (he path. 1 am not fond of snakes, and Hint alarm kept mo on tlio lookout, for it is about tho time for them to be flipping around. IJy and by wo took round an ce and started homeward down tho creek, nnd got to another wire L uo •. I felt liko sitting down and staying nil night, lmt the hoys loo lied at me and smiled and to 1 rollled under again and I was so stiff and tiivd that I could hardly get down or up. Htill I played gamo and kept my wild flowers and sweet shrubs for the little girl at home, ami it kept my spirits up think ing bow happy she would bo. Wo got to a spring that looked inviting and tho boys laid down and drank in the good old way. * I was enrly.dead for water, but I said no I don’t ant any, fori feared that 1 could never got up if I got down any moro. When wo reached the Ja-.t fence the ground was a little descend ing and as I rolled iiikI r tho wire my corpo- ty kept on, and liked to have rolled into a half-buried dead horse that the I rain hat run over and tumbled down tho hank. It shocked me like a ghost, and stimulated my alacrity. Somehow or oth'r I got homo safely after a ii milo tramp and that, night I rolled into bod nnd wasn’t lit for anything next (Jay, for I as sore as a founded miilo. My opinion is that the whole thing was a conspiracy nnd that vifo was‘ particeps erbiums" with one of her offspring and his long-leggeil brother-in- law. My lurther opnion is that, there aro more barbed wire fc nc< s in that region than in all tlio r st of tho country and what Ham .Jones and Boh 1’atil'o put them tin re for nobody knows, for there isn’t, an acre of the land that is worth a continental dime. It is too poor to keep its Hazards fat. NevcrthsleFB tho tramp did mo good and loosened up iny diapbram. It was an over dose of medicine and my chaperons won’t catch me that way again. I don’t believe much iu chaperons, nohow. Ham Joivs said in a tabernacle sermon that they wero no good. You will seo,” said ho, “a couple or these married women start out on an excursion up tho river bank with fifteen or twenty young bucks and huckeasea and they are to chaperon whole crowd and see that they behave themselves. Sometimes they get back before dark and somctiins they don’t. But it’s all right if they are jhaperoned. Chanroned! You might just as well throw a handiui of ilea* down here on tho floor and then try to catch one, as to watch fif teen or twenty Cartcraville bucks and buckosses on a tramp up the river." Well, it’s strawberries and cream now, and green p- as and asparagus and other vegetables coining along, and if a man has a good garden and a good little cow that gives butter and but termilk, and a good little business that keep* him employed ami a good little business that keeps him employed anp a good little business that keeps him employed and a good little fam ily to help him and comfort him, he ought to be contented and happy. Tho pleasures that cluster around homo and tho fireside where love is, aro the best that I have over found. Of oourse, wc have to indulge some things out side such as social intercourse with kindrod and friends, and I have thought as long as a man took pleasure in music and loved to hoar the birds t-ing and to look upon beautiful women and fragrant flowers and to eat strawberries and cream he wasn't as near dead as he protended to be. That woman business, however, is a kind of pat* rnal emotion with me now, and is very natural. Not Jong ago I heard Mrs. Arp asking who that v. ry handsome gentleman was that she saw on the streo*. Well, I knew that it wasn’t me, and I thought that she had a very inquiring mind. That is natural, too, and tho only diflten nee is that I have to exercise rny ad miration moro on the sly thau she does. I like to have things calm and terene at my 'J hero dr mrstio pleasures boat cong- r»pH or a postoffice, or even a receiv ership of a lailrotd. Wo havo to have these officers and judges and sheriffs and policemen and revenue officers and tlieiik< just as we havo to have locVs on our doors tj keep the ra-ca's out. It is the rasca's who dj lurb the public tranquility and keep the plo poor. 1 hoard an old man say ti nt ho Imd never lmd a ease in court in hi* life, l»ut had been paying sonic of tlio cour s’ expens *8 for flf y ycftis. That is bad, ami and, hut it D a pait of tho battle of life and wo must fight it.—Bill Am* in Atlanta Constitution. THE WEEK’S BUSINESS. According lo Report of Dim & Co’s. Ajfcncy. B, O. Dim A Co.'h review of trade for the past week Boys; Had business iu Wnll street boon unsound tho col- hlpse of prices during tho past week might lmvo onusod n panic. Nonrly nil stocks foil, but tho Industrials wer nlofo seriously depressed nnd whil the average doelino in all stocks wn about $(3 per share for tho week, Cord age fell 4:3 points, Sugar 111 and Man hattun 32(3. Several failures occurred without general disturbance and tho appointment of receivers for the Cord age Company was in some souse a re lief. Other speculative markets are, on tho whole, rather stronger than a week ago. At nearly all points the backward season and bad weather with slow collections give cause of com plaints, At Pittsburg tlio iron trade is still more depressed, but business in glnsH jh fairly good. Trade at Cincinnati is quiet, collections are very slow and money in active demand. At Cleve land business is fair to quiet and at Detroit tho backward season causes a shrinkage of 1() to 15 pence in orders. At Fort Wayne slow collections are reported and at Indianapolis money is close. Chicago reports a shrinking trade, alow collections, money compar atively tight, a doerense of 15 per cent on eastward shipments, but an increase in real estate and building. Trade improves at Milwaukee, At Minneap olis and St. Paul trade is dull and col lections aro slow. At St,. Louis busi ness is active and collections heavy. Crain receipts are large and the river export trade unusually heavy. Money is in healthy demand and country ad vices are good. Kansas City reports bettor trade and at Omaha groceries are in active demand and dry goods are in fair demand. At St. Joseph hotter trade is reported, hut at Salt Lake collections are slow and money close. At, most southern points trade is im proving, though at Louisville money is close. At, Nashville the financial situ ation is quiet. At Little Rack collec tions are slow. At, Macon trade is good and at Knoxville and Columbus somewhat improved-. At Augusta bus iness is dull, but collections fair, and at Savannah trade improves, especially in naval stores. Business is gaining at New Orleans, though crop prospects aro loss favorable 'on account of the storms. The iron trade shows no improve ment. There is pressure to sell from tho west. Southern No. 2 is sold at #8,50. Birmingham and Bessemer has fallen to #111.40 at Pittsburg. Bar is cut again and structural iron is slow.

Tlio entire world, Russia alone ex cepted, will begin the New Year with the first day of January. In that be nighted country the year will not he ushered in until March 25. Ibis last date was the opening of tho New Year iu England and America up to within less than 150 years ago. In was in 1751 that tho famous Lord Chesterfield se cured the passage of a hill which set the beginning of the Now Year for January 1. In Continental Europe, on the other hand, January 1 has been New Year’s Day for more than three centuries. Iu 1582 it was so ordained by Pope Gregory and adopted by all Europe, with the exception of England, Sweden and Rus sia. Another change beside that of altering the date of the Now Year was made by Lord Chesterfield’s reform. Up to that time the English calendar was eleven days behind that of oilier European countries. That is, when it was June 1 or July 1 in England it was the 12th of the month in Continental Europe. By Chesterfield’s change the calendar date was advanced eleven days. This change is what brought about the transition : from “Old Style” to “New Style” rcck- t oiling.—[New York Journal, y ** 2 1 BLOOMINGTON, ILL Cemetery Enclosures,^ Window Guards, *—JAILS—* AND STRUCTURAL IRON.
