I have often had no bed but the battle¬ field, and no canopy but the sky. I have marched over the frozen ground, till every step has been marked with blood.” His story told well, till a dried-up looking voter came to the front. i 4 Did yer say yer’d fought for tk# Union?” I 4 Yes,” replied the candidate. “And agin the Indians?” “Yes, many a time.” “And that you slept cn the ground with only the sky for a kiver?” “Certainly, “And that your feet bled in marching over the frozen ground. “That they did, cried the exultant candidate. “ iuen I’ll be blamed if you hain’t done enough for your country.

No “Tick” on Time. Nearly every jeweler lays down a rule never to credit anybody for a clock or watch or anything that keeps time. I don’t know why this is, and never heard an y good reason assigned for it, but, nevertheless, it is a fact. And, more- over> we firmly believe that a watch or a c i oc k that is brought to us for repairs or regulating will never keep good time if th e owner does not pay cash for the jeb. You know we do a big credit busi¬ ness. I suppose jewelers do a larger credit business than any other class of merchants, and it no doubt seems surprising that we have a class of trade that is barred from the credit list on account of super- stition.— 2>~ew York Dispatch.
