The Good Old Times.
from tho Burlington Jlnwkoya.
Dearly beloved, so there are men in
Builington this very Sabbath morning,
who sigh for the “good old times”
when our times surpass those of Solo
mon more than his days surpassed the
years of Egyptian bondage. You can
buy a box of matches to-day for five
cents, while Solomon’s throne of ivory
and gold couldn’t have bought one
match. The queen of Sheba thought
Solomon’s wisdom and greatness were
beyond comprehens’on ; what would
she say could she only have beheld a
yard engine of the Burlington and
Northwestern narrow gauge? The
weight of gold that came to Solomon
in one year was six hundred three
score and six talents of gold, but with
all of it he couldn't buy a common
hard coal la c burner. He had four
teen chariots amt twelve thousand
horsemen, but he couldn’t telegraph
to Hiram that he wanted a cedar raft
as soon as it could be shipped, and he
couldn’t even give his messenger a
horse that could trot in 2 130. There
was not a newspaper n r a printing
press in his kingdom, so he didn’t
know what w.ts to write ‘times’ and see
it printed ‘dinners.’ There are con
veniencss to day in the county alms
house that Solomon had to go with
out. We can buy a watch for S2O ;
yes, for $5, that lie couldn't have
bought in his kingdom. We haven’t
so many wives as lie had, but we have
better children; much better, indeed,
for while Solomon had the theory of
training children all right, lie never
put it into practice in his own
family.
• here are no times like these we
live in. 1 here never will be any to
equal them, until we are dead, and
then times will be better and grander
than they are now. Enjoy your own
day, then. Remember that the world
is better to-day, dearly beloved,
than it was when you came into it;
and that it is going to be a great ileal
lietter still when you go out of it. It
is getting better all the time,
thou dost not inquire wisely when thou
“What is the cause that the for
mer days were better than these?”
Going to the Post Office.
TIIESIMrhB FAITH OF The vknehabi.f.
JIINKIIKOKE DUKE,
Detroit Free Press.
Ono of the oddest sights in the
South is to soo tlio negroes lmng
about tlio potto (Tice*, They arc the
first ones to cull in tlio morning nnd
the list lo I avo at night, and it is
by no moans rare to havo them in
quire for mail fifteen times a day. I
was in the office at Marietta, Ga,
when tin aged daruey limped in and
inquired:
Am dnr fo‘ or five letters hoah
for Juuebroke Duke?
No, sir, replied the postmaster, after
taking a look.
Well, den, I’ll take one.
There are no letters for you.
Isn’t dar a newspaper?
No.
Hasn’t I dun get miffin’ tall.
Not a thing.
1 )at’s curtis—werry aims, muttered
the man as he walked out.
1 followed after him, and when I
asked him if he expected an important
letter that day, he replied;
Sartinldoes. Hat’s why I walked
to’ miles dis mawnin.
Where is de letter coming from ?
I dun no.
Who did you expect to write to
you ?
Did yoli expect news or money in,
the letteJ ?
Deed I did, sail, I ’spected dat
letter might hab S2O into it.
Who from ?
I dunno, but I ’spected it.
He then told me he cou'd neither
read nor write, had no friends to write
to him, had never mailed a letter nor
received one, ami yet he had inquir
ed for mail at least five hundred times
a year for the past ten years. In fact
it wasn’t an hour after I left him be*
fore he circled around to the i>ost of
fice again and said :
I reckon I mast hub some mail
by die time.
No, nothing for you.
Well, if dat hnin’t eurus—werry
curue! Reckon I’d better wait for
dat one o’clock train!
An Austin man started in the
livery stable business last week, nnd
the first thing he did was to have a
big sign painted, representing him-"
self holding a mule by the bridle.
Is that a good likeness ot me ?‘
ho asked of an admiring friend.
Yes,it is a perfect picture of you,
but who is the fellow holding you
by the bridle ?—Texas Sifting*.

Politeness.
A correspondent luting inquired
of the Augusta Evening Ptok-G wlmt
1 constitutes politoues? the editor of
! that paper discourses as follows:
The question ii not a difficult one
to answer, and yet there are many
who seem unable to understand, or
at any rate, to practice, this graco
and acquirement. Yet it is a
delightful qualification, uud one that
is admired and respected wherever
found. Of course, in different
grades ol society there nro different
customs and difiorent ideas of wlmt
constitutes good manners and po
liteuos, but the principles are ev
erywhere substantially the same,
and there are a number of general
rules for tho guidance of one’s con
duct that will alwa>s hold good.
Thus in order to bo pelito, ono
must always be good nature.‘4 No
onu can be polite when in auger,
A snarling, grumbling, complain
ing individual will never be called
a polite character. One mu*t en
deavor to please if ho would bo re
garded polite. Tho person who is
regardless ol the feelings of others
is auything but polite. The pro
fane man is sure to wound tho feel
ings of somo pe >plo ns much us
though he had dealt a blow with his
hand. No man who swears con
tinually can over bo regarded as
polite. It may bo set down as a
rule that will hold good in all elassei
of soeioty that it ii always rudo to
wound tho foolings of others. Van
ity and egotism are not calculated
to please, and whilo ono should al
ways evince a proper seif respect,
the vain and egotistic person must
novel' expool to bo regarded polite.
Again, complaisance and presence
of mind are essential. In company
ono should learn to bo perfectly
easy and collected, 0110 thm
has his energies and intellectual
powers always at command, and
will not bo liKoly t) ovuistep the
bounds of propriety eilh. r in speeo 1
or act. Ii ono carefully observes
these rules 110 ueod not apprehend
tho criticism of being ill-bred even
though ho may bo lucking in Homo
of Iho graces which aro, in compar
ison of minor importance.
A Perpetual Motor.
There is now on exhibition in a
small apartment in Chambers street'
the nearest approach to a perpetual
motor oyer devised. The contr.v
mice consists of two weeela, nearly
concern nc, which nro rotated by
means of nine four pound balls,
which run in thefgrooved radii of
the wheels. When tlio machine is
at rosl four of (he balls are placed
in the grooves of each of the wheels
ono to each of four grooves, there
bein ; seven in all. To glvo m®li< u
to the machine a ninth ball is pla
ced in a vacant groove. The equi.
librium being distributed, tlio first
wheel begins to revolve, and the
movement ct its nvi ,
which is cogged with the axis of the
other, sets that in motion. On reach
ing a certain point the odd ball, in
stead of continuing Us motion from
the centre of the wheel to the circum
ference, rolls through an opening into
a groove hel mging to the companion
wheel and imparts additional motion
to that one, the loss of force in the
first, being soon made up by the re
turn ot the odd ball on rent hing agiv*
en point on the othes side.
The machine, does not generate
much power, but it certainly develops
enough by simple gravitation to give
motion to itself until' the material of
which it is made is worn out. It is
the invention of Albert PietrowSki, a
Polish Engineer, \yho labored more
than eighteen years before he succeed
ed in perfecting a model that would :
satisfactorily demonstrate the theoiy
which had been the dream of his life.

Hard Times.
Frcm 'ho Piko County, Gi„ News,
An old darkey, going along the
streets a few days ago, was heard mut
tering about the hard ti nes now in
the iountry. His murmurings were so
sad and mournful as to be heard by a
gentleman who, is full of sympathy for
all in trouble, Stopping him he asked
what was the matter. ‘Well, bess,’
says the darkey, ,1 stopped at Mr R’s
store while ago and sold him 1,000 of
the finest potato draws I could find on
my bed'fof 15 cents, and M had the
c’hcek to want me to insure’ potatoes
