THE INCURABLE HURT.
'Taint likely c* a awkward chap
Like I am, big and stupid,
’Ud ever go a monkeyin’ ’round
A dandy kid like Cupid ;
But, major, durn my ugly mug,
I done it once, for certain,
An’ if I live a hundred years
The tiling’ll keep on hurlin’.
I never know’d a woman’s way*
Till one day little Kitty,
Her that’s the banker’s only gal,
Come down from Timber City ,
An’ stoppin’ at our boardin’ house,
Begun her purty flirtin’,
I guess with all the boys around,
An’ me, that’s dogoued certain.
Them eyes uv her’n shined like the stari
That speckles night ail over,
An’ both her cheeks wuz purtier than
Two medders red with clover.
Au’ when she talked—good lordy me I
Why can’t a man take warnin’?—
It seemed to me bke all the songs
The bird sings in the mornin’.
I drinked it in an’ wanted more,
An’ she, I guess, unthinkin’,
Was tickled hall' to death to see
A thirsty man a-drinkin’;
An’ let me have it every day,
From June clear till October,
Tell 1 wuz drunk and crazy wild,
An’ she thought I wuz sober.
At last I op an’ told her straight
That i wuz fairly dyin’
Fer luv of her ; and, dern my boots,
She just broke down a-cryin’,
Au’ told me it wuz all in fun,
That sbe was only flirtin’—
An’ ef I live a bundled years
The thiug’ll keep on hnttiu’.
A Unique Lecture.
It is a rare thiug that a pastor who
talks three or four times a week to a
congregation can till his house to heat
a pay lecture. Yet Rev. J. ilowaru
(Jarpeuter did that to the satisfaction
and entertainment of a large audience
last night at the Twenty sixth and
Market street Baptist church, says the
Louisville Courier Journal.
The lecture was replete with humor
aud abounded in wit, and everybody
was sorry when he had finished. There
were snatches of poetry, original aud
irom popular authors.
A grammatically considered,
was cue of his best hits, The follow
ing ire- some of tlie general rses for
considering woman grammatically, as
laid down by the speaker:
“As a noun she is in the objective
case.
“As a pronoun she stands for her
self.
“As a verb, imperative mood, pres
ent tense, when she desires you toservt
ner, but subjuuctive mood and future
tense when you ask her to marry you.
“As an adjective she is in the super
lative degree. '
As a conjunction she is a failure, for
her sentences are not connected.
“As an exclamation—perennial.
“I cannot say she is an adverb, for
jbe does not modify anything.
‘•As an article, indefinite, but worth
the world to any man.
“I love her in any mood or case, es
pecially the indicative mood and pos
jessive case, but always in the feminine
gender.”
He said, “Some of you old bachelors
are becoming restless, and desire me
to approach the subject. Why don’t
you approach it yourself ?”
The lecture was heartily enjoyed by
ill present.
Into the Blue Empyrean.
Algernon was whispering low to the
girl in the gauzy glimmer of lace and
tulle.
She had bent her lovely, swan like
ueck to catch his words.
Murmurously they floated outward
iud fell upon the pearly, pink-white
ear as crystal drops touch silvtr cords
and waken sweetest music sleeping
there.
“You are eo much to me,” he said.
“In all the dozen years since first my
heart responsive grew to woman’s sweet
solicitude, there has been none whose
fingers soanned the octave of my soul
iiid wrotght the manly harmonies dor
mant there into a living theme. No
lace butvours has brought to me the
face of aigels, fair aud pure, beyond
the skies that bend above the earth far,
far removed from all its sordid thoughts,
its groveing cares, its motiveless mate
rialism. Ju you concentered, all my
dreams ae realized, my hopes to full
fruition ome, my dearest wishes made
my own.’
Slowly she lifted that fair sweet
face unti her soft, blue eyes looked
into his.
“Algeaon,” she murmured, “won’t
you pleas come of the roof ?”
And aiAlgernon clambered down
he recalW the fact that he had tackled

A MONSTER PLUM PUDDING.
It Weighed 205 Pounds, and Made
Democratic Mouths Water.
A 295-ponnd Cleveland pudding was
cut with appropriate ceremonies at
Richmond, Va., ou the night of the
24th inst., under the auspicies of the
Uniou Democratic Club, William 11.
<'ullingworth president.
Gen. Peyton Wise presided, and in
troduced B. B. M unford, Esq., who, in
the absence of Senator Daniel, wel
comed the audience. The privilege ol
cutting the first slice in the name ol
Mr. Cleveland was auctioned off, and
was bought by-James D. Patton fot
sllO. That of cutting the second
dice was bought by Leon Sell wars
child for $45. After the cutting a
banquet was given, aud toasts to Cleve
land and Stevenson, Virginia and Rich
mond were responded to. Each pound
>f this immense pudding represented a
Cleveland elector. The pudding was
intended to weigh 271 pounds, but
twenty-four pounds additional were ad
led in honor of Vice President elect
Stevenson.
Randall’s Poverty.
Pennsylvania’s great commoner, Sam
uel J. Randall, d : ed a very poor man
how poor in this world’s goods was not
disclosed until recently.
Mrs. Fannie W. Randall, widow and
administratrix of the deceased states
man, filed au answer in the orphan’s
court to proceedings brought by a cred
itor of the estate to compel an account
iug.
Mrs. Randall simply etates iu answer
that her husband left no real or person
d estate save a few personal effects
ind that after the payment of the fun
eral expenses aud the setting aside of
ler S3OO widow’s exemption there was
nothing to account for, nor enough
money of the estate left to poy the cost
required in the accounting. She added
that no disrespect was intended the
court, but under the circumstances shi
bad not complied with the request.
It is so unusual a thing in this day
for a man who occupied the position
Mr. Randall held to die poor that it
calls for more than a passing notice.
Mr. Randall was one of the purest as
well as one of the oldest of American
statesmen. That he should died penni
less is the highest evidence that his
character was to lofty too consider the
allurements of mammon where duty
called in the oppocite direction.
Crisp Wants an Extra Session.
A Washington special says : Speak
er Crisp is quoted, like Senator Cock
rill, Representative William L. Wil
',oll, Bynum, Catchings and other prom
inent ' Democrats, as favoring an
extra session of the next con
gress to be called as soou
is possible after President Cleveland’s
inauguration. These gentlemen and
those who are opposed to an extra ses
don, or at least to an extra session in
the spring, are alike conteut to abide by
whatever decision President Cleveland
may make in the matter. They do
not believe that he will decide the
[uestion until he comes to Washing
ton, by which time the probable effects
of calling or not calling an extra ses
sion will be more apparent.
Conductors Granted an Increase.
A special from Baltimore, Md., under
late of November 24, says : The con
ference between the Baltimore and
Ohio officials aud delegates from the
Brotherhood of Conductors ended last
night. asked that the
pay of conductors east of the Ohio
river be made to conform with that re
ceived west of the river. It was agreed
ro give the conductors an increase of
10 cents a day, to take effect on Janu
try Ist, aud to further increase their
wages by giving them 5 cents a day
Additional after December Ist, 1894.

The Miners’ Thanksgiving.
A Scranton, Pa., special, Nov. 24,
jays : The miners of the Pinebrook
aud Capuse shaft, of the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel Company, numbering
600, were to-day given an increrse of
10 per cent in wages for mining coal;
and for cutting cross headings they
were increased from 50 cents per yard
to 51.41. Laborers and other employes

and cuntrols the desire to cough.
The Origin of Some Every Day Ex
pressions.
Ii seems strange to speak of the
United States as “Brother Jonathan,”
aud wonder is how it ever began ; but
on inquiring into the matter we find
that the custom arose from an ordinary
remark made by Gen. Washington at
the beginning of the Revolutionary
war, says Harper’s Young People. Ou
going to Massachusetts to o?gattize the
army, he found it scant of umuuition
and all means of defense; and no one
could suggest any way out of the difli
culty. Something must he done at
ouce for the public safety ; and Gen
Washington, who had great confidence
in the judgment of Gov. Jonathan
Trumbull of Connecticut, said in this
dilemma, “We mult consult Brother
Jonathan on the subject.” “Brother
Jonathan” was equal to the occasion,
and supplied many of the I ading tie
cessities ; and during the war it became
the custom in any emergency to say,
“We must consult brother Jonathan.”
In time the name became applied to
the whole country, and it is pleasant to
know that the great Washington liini
sell was the originator of it. “Rob
bing Peter to pay Paul” was first used
when Westminister abbey was called
St. Peter’s cathedral. Money being
needed to settle the accounts of St.
Paul’s catherdal, it was taken by those
in authority from. St. Peter’s quite to
the dissatisfaction of the people, who
asked, “Why rob St. Peter to pay St.
Paul ?” Over 200 years afterward,
the saving was again used in regard to
the same churches at the death of the
Earl of Chatham, the city of Loudon
declaring that so great a statesman
should be buried in St. Paul’s, while
parliament insisted that one so nol le in
every way would be more properly
placed among the dust of kings in
Westminister abbey, and that not to
bury him there would be for the sec
oni time “robbing St. Peter to pay St.
Paul.” The abbey very justly carried
the day. “There’s mauy a slip ’ttvixt
the cup aud the lip” is a very old say
iug, and was first uttered to the King
of Samos, au island in the Grecian
Archipelago. This king, by
name, planted a and treated
the slaves who cultivated it so badly
that one of them told him lie would
never live to taste the wine made from
it. When the wine was ready, and a
cup of it poured out for the king, he
sent for the slave who had prophesied
his death, and asked him what he
thought of his prophecy now. The
slave replied, “There’s many a slip
’twixt the cup aud the lip”—acd just
as he had spoken the the words Ancams
received warning that a w ild boar had
broken into his vineyard and was ruin
ing it. Putting down the wine untast
ed, he rushed out to attack the hoar
and was killed.
Southern Independence.
“I'll tell you what I think this coun
try needs,” said the genial old lady,
laying dawn the small stocking she was
darning. “It needs to go back to the
shifts and ingenuities of war times. Be
fore the war we depended on the North
for everything, and had done it so long
that we thought we just had to do it;
but when the war came and our source
of supplies was cut off, we found we
could get along very well. During
those four years the south was indepen
dent; aud they were the only years of
independence this country has ever
known. We spun and wove and made
our own clothes ; and got our dyestuffs
out of the woods ; and tanned the leath
er and made our shoes ; and bleached
straw or palmetto and wove our hats.
Our workmen found out, then, that they
could take timber from our woods and
make excellent wagons, plows and
wheelbarrows ; and, in fact, there was
scarcely anything we didn’t make in
those days. But jilst as soon as the
war was over we shut up shop and pat
ronized the Northern manufactories
again. That was the silliest thing we
alone, wa should have kept on going
ever did. Having found out how to go
alone, and thie country would have
been more prosperous.”
The Detroit Free Press calls atten
tion to the fact that colored Democrats
have ceased to be’ curiosities. Thor”
are thousands of them now, and they
represent the thinking, progressive
men of their race.
“At last, I can eat a good square
maal without its distressing me!" was
the grateful exclamaiion of one whose
appetite had been restored by the use
of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, after years of
dyspeptic misery. A teaspoonfull of
this extract before each meal sharpens
the appetite.
TAXATION TO BE LOWER.
The Democrats Bound to Make a
Great Record.
Of the legislation which will bo en
acted by the next congress, Judge Crisp
said in an interview with a newspaper
reporter, in Atlanta, last week : “We
have the entire government in our
hands, at least it looks that way now,
and we shall do everything in our pow
er to relieve the people from the exces
sive taxation under which they labor.
I cannot say just now as to the partic
ular manner in which such legislation
will be brought about, but you may
rest assured that it will be done. The
outlook for 1)» uioe: acy w as never more
encouraging and we propose to do ev
ery thing in our p >wer iu c< tigress tor
the purpose of furthering the cause of
the party, as far as it harmonises with
the good of the people.”
Young men in Business.
The Ladies’ Home Journal says : No
good mother need have undue anxiety
for the success of a sou who this autumn
and winter steps out into the business
world, so long as he beats iu mind a
few esseutial points.
He must be honest above all things,
and allow nothing to convince him that
there is a compromise between honesty
and dishonesty.
He must be an out ami out believer
iu the homely hut forcible saying that
a man cannot drink whisky and bn in
business.
lie must take his life outside the of
fice the same as in it, and not be pos
sessed with the prevalent idea that his
employer has every right to expect his
employes to he respectable at all times
in the office or out of it.
lie must respect other people’s opin
ions, always rememembering that a
young man, of all human beings, has
much to learn.
He must learn, if lie would be wise,
never to argue ou two questions—poli
ces aud religion.
Wliat a Wife Can Do.
A lady 01. ce besought Mr. Moody to
pray for her unconverted husband and
try to lead him to Christ.
"Hu,w long Iqyyo you been married?”
asked Mr. Moody.
“ Twenty years,” she replied.
“What have you done to bring him
to the Lord yourself?”
“I have talked to him. I have
prayed for him. I have tried to get
him to join the church.”
“And you have been his wife for
twenty years?”
“Yes, Bir.”
“There must be something wrong
somewhere,” said the evangelist, shak
ing his head. “You ought to have got
him to the Lord before this time.
Have you always lived a Christian life
before him?”
“I'm afraid not. always.”
“Have you ever got out of humor
with him and said spiteful things ?”
“Yes, very often.”
“And what did you do then? Did
you apologize at.d tell him you were
sorry for it?”
Oh, no. I never did that. I
couldn’t.”
“Well, then, right there is where the
trouble is. It is not your husband that
I ought to pray for, hut you. When
your heart once gets right, and makes
your life right, it won’t be long until
God will get into the heart of your
husband.”
And it wasn’t longjiftcrwards until
the prediction was fulfilled. The heart
of the wife became full to overflowing
with the love of God, and her husband
was converted.
Carl lkrdman, of Howling Green,

“I came very uear having a duel
once,” saiil the Congressman to & group
of auditors.
“Tell us about it,” said they as one
man.
“When I was 30,” he continued, “I
hung out tny shingle in a small town
in a southern State, and being from the
north, I did not receive at first the
agroeable recognition I expected. In
fact there was one blatherskite of a fel
low who made himself so obnoxious
that one day I slapped his jaws. This
brought all the respectable people of
the community over to my side, and 1
was feeling pretty good for thred or
four days, when tho bottom was knock
ed out of it all by my receiving a chal
lenge from Mr. Blatherskite. If there
was anything more than another that I
didn’t want to do it was to fight a duel,
and 1 tried to get out of it gome way,
hut couldn’t, and finally accepted his
challenge, and choose double barreled
shot guns at ten paces. I don’t know
why I did, but I did, though T should
have preferred pop guns nt a mile and
a half. 1 didn’t hear anything from
my man for twenty four hours, and
then I had a personal call from him.
“1 have come in,” ho said, after a
few preliminary remarks, “to make a
statement about this duel. What I’ve
got to say is that shot guns are too
doggoued mortuary for me, and if you
have no objections I’ll apologize and

“\\ by, Johnnie,” she exclaimed,

“Pop won’t have it,” said the boy.
“Why won’t he ?”
“It’s on account them golden texts

to say that Miss Attorney General
