Some years ng«, in TAf*rMn, n
poor orphan girl drettmed three

'vhiiili Irt lirr in iMminmiH
figures, while nn unearthly voice,
.repeating over ami over again.
" This nun tier tpll win the lirsl
prize in the Chip* lottery.' resound
ed in her tar. She imparted the
vision to her anmdinn, anil lie re
paired to the rnval lottery nfli-w
ns»l inquired w hat had become of
the ticket bearing the number in
question, r.ceVng enawer thfft it
had been disposed of to a wel’-
kr.own lottery a 3 ent in Koenigsberg.
lie forthwith wrote to this person, \
inclosing the price of the ticket
sind requesting that it should he
forwarded Id Hun by irlnrn ofpuet.
Jn rsply to Ins applicuion ne was
iriformed'lhnt that pariicular tick |
et had been sold, over the counter,
a day or two befo-e, lb whom the [
agent could not sav. lie however,
inclosed in his letter another lottery
ticket,■which he naively recom
mended as '“an excelllaut and
highly prnmisirg number." Hut
the youthful dreamer's guardian, I
failing to recognize any special mer
it in the ticket thus urged upon,
liis acceptance, sent it back with
.peremptory instructions that his i
money should be reauned to him |
without delay. His vexation may !
•lie imagined when, at the next
drawing ofKhe State lottery, the
number winning the first prize ol
.05,000, proved to be not that of
which his ward had thrice success- i
ively dreamed, but the one ho lie. 1
refused to purchase at the recom
mendation of the Koenigsberp
agent.

lie was squirting lobacco juice
a’t over the sidewalk and tnppii g
on a drygoods box with a buck
horn handled knife, and finally
heaved a deep sigh and sa ! d:
‘No gentleman, no. Them good
times has gone forever. We shall
never see nosich limes agin.’
‘How?’ asked one nf.er a long
pause.
‘Ward- in lots o’ ways. In toe
fust p'l Ce folks don’t use each other
as they once did. I leave ii to you,
stranger, if they do?*
‘No, sid.’wrs the prompt iep'v
of the man who had slopped to
inqi’i'O his wav to the depot.
“Thnty yea •> ago, t>>e mo'e tobac

When n man learns to mind his
own business and only that, lie is
on the path of social safety, it is
hard to tell a man to mind his own
busiuess in plain terms; vet it is
one of the simplest rules of con
duct, and the most useful that man
kind can adopt in their intercourse
with each other. There is a great
deal of Paul Pry spirit in the hu
man her.it, or won.leiful inquisi
tiveness in regard to the personal
and private affairs of friends and
neighbors. This spirit does more
mischief in the community than al
most auy other cause-. I-.et every
man mind his own business, and
there will not be half the trouble
in the world Hint there is at the
present time.
