A Sail Story, anil a Warning to Hoys. ‘ Lend me a dollar to get borne.” The speaker was a young man from Houston county, whoso name is with hold for reasons that are host known to the News and the parlies who gave the information. The words were ad trussed to one of the best known warehousemen of Ma COD. The time was this morning. To say that the warehouseman was astonished at the request would hardly express it, for he had, yesterday afternoon, paid the young man a considerable sum of money. When the request was made the warehouse man thought the young man was only jesting. Rut he was not. Thereby bangs a tale. Yesterday a young man who lives with his widowed mother in Houston county and sees after her farm for her came to Macon to sell four bales of cot ton which had previously been ware housed here. The cotton was brought to Macon a week or more ago. Rut the lady had a note to meet to day. For that reason she decided to let the cotton re main unsold until yesterday. So, as stated, the boy came up to sell the cot ton. The halts sampled up well and something over $l5O was paid over to the young man as the result of their sale. Like many other young men who come to the city on such errands, this boy, lor he is only a boy of 19, could not resist the temptation of taking a di ink while he was in the city. That drink led to the loss of his money. The boy fell into the hands of sever al who seem to depend on gambling for a liviug. They gave him as many drinks as he wanted. Then they broached him for a little social game. The boy was in the mood to accept and accept he did. Instead of taking him to a private room they took the youth to an apartment that seemed to have been fitted up especially for the purpose of gambling. The tables were there, all covered over with green, and chips in profusion were there also. It was not long before the game com menced. Luck varied with the boy. Then fortune seemed to favor him. When he had been in the room an hour he was considerably ahead. The stakes were increased. In another hour the hoy had lost all his winnings'and the entire sum paid him by the warehouse men. When they saw they had all of his money the gamblers would not listen a moment to the woeful tale which the boy told them. They unceremonious ly ushered him out of the room and told him not to play any more cards until he learned better how to manage it. The boy spent the night with a friend. This morning he approached the warehouseman, told the story and ask ed for a dollar to get home. He said he was afraid to report the matter to the police as he was as guilty as the other parties. The boy did not know the names of those who worked him. He gave the warehousman a good description of the men and the place. So the matter will no doubt be brought before the grand jury when the body meets. The boy was considerably affected. It was a mortgage which his mother , had to meet to day. She has not now money enough to pay the debt, and he is afraid her Koine will be sold His suspense and anxiety is something ter 1 rible. The warehouseman, however, knows I the lady well. He will see that the mortgage is cancelled, hut he didn’t tell the boy so, for he wants the youth to learn a valuable lesson from his ex perience. This is a sad case. But many a boy with the best of motives is liable to be caught in just such a way if he don’t look out.—Macou 1 News.

A Mind-Cure Story. “Yes, 1 believe in mind cure," said a leading fashionable physician. “Ev ! erv practitioner does to a certain ex j tout, and every successful physician uses it constantly in his practice. 1 have had some rather extraordinary examples in tuy own experience. There is one case in particular which I shall always remember. Several years ago I had as a patient a wealthy lady who had been bud-ridden for five years. I could not see that anything really was the matter with her, but for a few months I tried every remedy iu vain. Finally I hit upon a desperate expedi ent. I took into my confidence the husl«and, who was a very prominent lawyer, and secured his consent to put my plan into execution without fear of interference from him. One afternoon, when all the conditions were favorable, 1 made my usual call. The husband was iu the room when I arrived, but he went out shortly and left me with the patient. As soon as he was outside the door 1 quickly turned the key and lesumed my seat by the bed. The electric bell was at the other side of the room, aud there was no way in which the iuvalid could communicate with the rest of the household. For a minute or two I kept silent, and she looked at me in amazement. As soon as the stillness began to he oppressive, I remarked quietly : “Mrs. , I am going to sit here until you get up, and that door is to remain locked until ihat time.’ “ - 1 can’t do it,’ was the feeble re ply. “ ‘But you must,’ I responded severe ly. ‘lt has got to be done,’ and, taking a bunch of matches from my pocket, I continued : ‘I am going to set Are to the bed, and if you don’t want to be burned you will have to get out of it, for 1 shan’t help you.’ “She gazed at me in terror, evident ly thinking that she was locked up with a mad man. 1 deliberately set tire lo one corner of the blanket. It burned slowly, of course, but it burned. Still not a movement on the part of the inmate of the bed. You will hardly believe me, but I was obliged to set the bed on lire in a dozen different places, and she lay there helpless, un til the flames had almost scorched her body. Then she sprang up wildly with a scream and leaped to the floor. That woman has been one of my most active and healthy acquaintances ever since, and she and her husband are the warmast friends 1 have. But if my lit tle mind cure experiment had happen ed to fail they would have beeu my enemies for life. It was one of the chances of the profession, and I had to take it. Do 1 believe in Christian science, too ? Well, hardly!”—Phil adelphia Bulletin. A Girl’s Condensed History. Met him. Met him again—in love with him. Met him again—but no longer in love with him, but he is in love with me, because I am so beautiful. Met him again—he is still more in love with me, not only because I am beautiful, but because I am also good Sony for him. Agaiu I met him—he is colder than he was. Think he has forgotten my beauty and my goodness. I, however, am inclined to think that I am in love with him after all. How lucky he is and bow angry mama will be ! Mama proved to be strangely pleased. Makes me angry, for I know sbe is not a good judge of a young girl’s hoart. Flirted with him outrageously to make mama mad—didn’t succeed. Engaged to him—glad.

ABSOLUTELY PURE THE FIGHTING PARSON. Defiance of a California Mob by the Rev. O. P. Fitzgerald. Old-time Californians, says the San Francisco Examiner, remember Ifev. 0. P. Fitzgerald, the .Methodist preach er and enthusiastic Democrat, who was State superintendent of schools shortly after the close of the civil war. They remember him as the lighting parson. At the time when the news of the assassination of President Lincoln throw the country into an uproar of grief and rage, Mr. Fitzgerald was pastor of a little Methodist church on one of the by-streets south of Market street in this city, and lie was among those sin gled out objects of mob violence. Two tliousund angry men, after hav ing gutted the Monitor office, and after having assaulted Rev. Dr. Scott while coming out of his church on Rush street, raised the cry, “Let us lynch Fitzgerald and hum his chuich!” They went on a run in the direction of the little South Methodist chape!, but some friends of the Methodist par son were swifter than they, and when the howling mob arrived iu front of the church they found the doors locked and the pastor and his brother standing ot. the porch, each armed with a loaded rifle. _ i © The crowd made a rush for the steps, and several men in the rear shouted, “Kill them!” “Stop!” cried the stern voice of Fitzgerald, rising high above the tu mid', as he brought the butt of his ri fie to his hip. I!e looked like a man who meant business. Standing six feet high, and as straight and stalwart as a Sioux In dian, his undaunted bearing and the tone of his voice brought the crowd to a standstill. They had not expected such an obstacle in the person of a minister of the gospe 1 , and they looked at one another iu amazement. They could not understand it. They had had their own way all day. They had only a few hours before re fused to disperse at the command of Gen. McDowell, who, mounted on a dry goods box in front of Platt's Hall, on Montgomery street, advised them to obey the law and commit no violence. In that moment of irresolution Par son Fitzgerald spoke to the angry mob : “1 am a minister of the gospel and strive to follow in the footsteps of the Prince of Peace,” he said, “but, by the living God, even if it weie my last act on earth, 1 will defend this church, the property of my congregration, with the last cartridge in ray belt. If blood be shed let it be upon your own heads.” The effect was magical. The fore most in the crowd fell back quietly from the muzzles of the rifles that were slowly describing a semi-circle be foie their faces. Pale of face, but unduauted of mien, stood the Fitzgerald brothers, with the rifles clasped firmly in their hands. Then, with a mighty roar, the mob started off on the double quick to smash the doors aud windows of a storekeeper on Third street who had refused to have the emblems of mourning on his awning. As the years rolled on Parson Fitz gerald drifted further away from poli tics and correspondingly nearer to the bosom of his church. Then he settled in Texas, where he became a bishop, aud returned here recently on a vis it. A lawyer returned to his home tired aud warn out. “You look tired, dear. I suppose voo have had a hard day’s work agaiu in court,” said his wife. “Yes, lam very tired ; I’ve had a difficult case, but I’ve won it.” “You had better take a cup of tea, and then go to bed and take a good night’s rest.” “No rest for me to-night. I’ll have to sit up and watch the stable with a shot-gun to see that the carriage horse is not stolen.’* “Why, who is goiug to steal it?” “You see, I was defending one of the worst horse thieves in western Tex as this afternoon, and I cleared him. He is loose now, aud 1 am alraid the double-dyed scoundrel will bo arouud to-night and steal my horse.” f Henry County Weekly, Established 187 G, <[ Ilenry County limes, Established 1884. staked Ills Teeth and la st.

Must 1 explain my meaning to every new barber that I run across? When I ask for a streight shave I mean I want a shave without any bay rum, without any hair oils without any ‘don’t want a shampoo ?’ and particularly without any confound ed talk. There, now go streight ahead and give me a streight shave and be quick about it.” “Py shimminy!” said the barber in dignantly, when his customer had de parted, “some people vos such hogs dey doan know that a barber haf some feelings mit him. 1 haf a goot mind to put a notice up in my store dot ve vos not shaving hogs here no more.—New York Herald. “Pa,” said little Johnny Cutely, “I heard you talking with Mr. Brown just now, aud you said you—you didn't believe in future punishment.” “Well, Johny,” replied the old man, “the subject is a strange one for you to speak about ; but, really, I don’t.” “Then, I suppose—l suppose that lets me out o’ that lickiu’ you promised me after supper.” Itch on human ami horses and all animals cured in 30 miuutes by Wool ford’s Sanitary Lotion.
