Cotnc, ra.ly round the good old (lag,
The North, South, East and West,
And let .all honest Democrats
Who love their country best,
Hejoico to'know tho time has come
When We must take our stand
And shout alottd, httava! huzfa!

And three for English, too.
We’ll gather round the good old flag—
The Red, VVblto and Blue.
Prosperity Will bless our land,
And God will holp our cause -
"The Constitution ns it is,
The Union as it was.’’
We’ll let the past forgotten bo,
And do all that we can
To choose a leader whom we lote,
And Hancock is our man.
Ho is a soldier, brave and true,
And he is more than that;
Wo know be is an honest man,
And faithful Deuocrat.
We'll put him iu the White House chair
And try an honest plan,
To run this Government awhile
With Hancock for our man.
Badgering A Witness.
Tho court and jury, as well as tho
spectators, generally enjoy the scene
when a lawyer, in an attempt off to badger
or browbeat a witness, comes second
best in tho encounter, A correspon
dent recalls an amusing incident of this
sort, wh'ch happened a few years ago
in an Albany court room. lady,
The plaintiff, who was a well, was
called to testify. She got on very
and made a favorable impression on tho
jury under the guidance of her counsel,
Hon. Lyman Tremain, until the oppo¬
sing counsel, Hon. Henry Smith, sub¬
jected her to a sharp cross-examination.
This so confused her that she became
faint, and fell to the iloor in a swoon.
OF course this excited general syrns
patby in the audience, and Mr. Smith
saw that bis case looked badly.
Aji -expedient suggested itself by
which to make the swooning appear
like a piece of stage trickery, and thus
destroy sympathy for her. The lady's
face iu .swooning had turned purple red,
and this fact suggested the new line of
attack. The next witness was a middle
aged lady. The counsel asked;
‘Did you see the plaintiff faint a short
time ago?’
‘Yes, sir,’
‘People turn pale when they faint,
don’t they V
A great sensation in the court, and
an evident confusion of witness. But
in a moment she answered.' ‘No, not
always.'
•Did you ever hear of a case of faint¬
ing where the party did not turn pale ?’
‘Yes, sir.”
‘Did you ever hear such a case
‘Yes, sir.’
‘Wheuf
‘About a year ago.’ /
‘Where was it ?’
‘In this city.’
‘Who was itf
By this time tbe excitement was so
intense thateverybody listened anxious¬
ly for the reply. It came promptly,
with a twinkle in the witness’ eye, and
a quiver on her lip, as if from suppress
ed humor.
“ ’Twas a Dcgro, sir*’
Peal after peal of laughter shook the
court-room, in which the venerable
judge joined. Mr, Snith lost bis case,
not to say temper.
How to Grow.
Once I read of a live'y, fun-loving
little fellow, who was found standing in
the garden with his feet hurried in the
soil and his hands clasping a tall sun¬
flower. His face was aglow with de¬
light, and when his mother said.- Wil¬
lie, dear, what pleases you so much V
he replied; ‘Mamma, I am going to be
a man! I’ve planted myself to grow!’
Willie seemed to think that he was a
plant and could draw food for growth
from the soil. In this he was mistaken
as you know. Boys grow into men by
food taken into the mouth, but to be
real, noble men, they must eat some¬
thing more than mere bread and meat.
They must eat facts.
‘Ob! how can we do that ?’ exclaims
some wee Willie.
•By thinking of them, my dear,
Reading is the spoon with which you
get the facts into your head. By think¬
ing, you get to know what the facts re¬
ally signify. Now. just as the bread,
meat, vegetables and fruit you put into
your mouth make the body grow, so
the facts you think about make your
mind grow. Bo a reader and a think¬

Rheiuaatics *
How They Played tile Mischief with
Uncle Ben.
BY J. I,. 11ER8EY.
Uncle Ben in his younger days had
tho rheumatic orftd. poor soul! its a
wonder how he lived through it all.
You see, when Ben was young ho was an
orful critter to skate. He’d skate for¬
ever and the day afterwards- lie sed
he loved tho fun, hut bis father sed it
was only to get rid of choppin' wood and
doin' the chores round tho house. Ben's
folks wore a lazy pack, and liked to be
off'half the time. But Ben was a trim¬
mer on skates, and was off' most every
night when there was a moon. One or
ful cold night when the cronometer was
clean away Town below nero he went
off on tbe river, and whon it come !)
o'clock his folks begun to look for him
back.
He did not come.' Tbe clock struck
10 then 11, and no Ben.
Ben’s father got a little skittiso. and
put on bis long tailed bine surtout, and
tied tip his ears in a handkerchief and
started off arter him. When he got to
the river he hallooed for Ben, and Ben's
voice come back rather faint in reply.
The old gent made for the place whore
the voice souaded, and thero was Ben
with all his lower parts in water, and
his head aDd shoulders stiekiug up
through the solid ice ! Ye see, the ice
had broke through and let him in, and
afore he could git out had closed up
around him and froze him in fast. You
need not say it is not a fact, for wo had
some orful cold weather down here in
Maine thirty years ago.
Wall, Ben's father cum along and
took him by the arms and tried to hoist
him out, but, la! he might have as well
tried to stir old Ossiper mountain from
its resting-place. Ben wouldn’t start.
The old gent got tna<’/,\ud swore a pint
of the biggest kind tiff oaths; and then
he giv it up and sot down.
Ben was as patient as Job, and wait
ed as kind as could be till Lis father
had got or ath.
"Take off your s’tout, father,'' sez ho
“and try again."
His father riz right up and pulled and
hauled away on his coat till the inspira¬
tion run a stream down his forrud. Af¬
ter an orful spell of it ho got the thing
off, and then he ontied his ears and
went for him in earnest.
Arter about half an hour’s hard pull¬
in' Ben’s feet touched solid earth, and
his father took bis surtout under one
arm and Ben under the other and start
ted for home.
As soon as they got there Ben was
put into a hot bath and stuffed full of
hot drops and kian pepper. The next
morning he was as well as could be ex¬
pected, except his right hip, which pain¬
ed him terribly.
They sent for the doctor and he an¬
alyzed him, and said it was a case of
rheumatic, and would plague Ben as
long as he lived by spells,
Wall, Ben got better, and time wheel¬
ed away just the same as usual and Ben
got to be 20 years of age. Then he
bought him a watch, and thought he'd
go sparkin’ the gals just the same as
other fellows did.
His mother is a mighty keeifulcritter
and thought he was a little too young,
but his father said to let him go and
get satisfted.
So, airly one morning, Bon went over
to Mr. Johoson’s to see Uittie Read,
their hired girl. Hittie was a fust-rate,
good, smart body, and Ben's father
thought it would bo a nice match for
his son.
Wall, Hitty was werry sociable to her
beau, and give him tho big arm chair
to sit iu (Johnson’s folks had gono
away), tho reddest apples to eat and
told him all about thoir speckled hen’s
hatching out soventeen chiekeua tho
day afore.
But ho didn’t want to be out lied,
so ho made up a story about one of their
turkeys that sat on twenty-oue eggs
and hatched out twenty-three turkeys.
Ho said he expected three of the eggs
had two yolks in them.
She said like euuff, and then he sed
ho guessnd ho must be going, and she
asked him to call again soon,
"Thank you,’’ said Ben, blushing
clean back oehind his ears, “I shail
drop in often.”
And he did drop in often; so often
that Johnson's folks began to smell a
rat, and used to nave a fire in the best
room when the evenings were chilly.
Wall, the matter of four months slip¬
ped away, and Ben thought he d staid
with Hitty long enough to pop the ques¬
tion. He consulted his father about it
and the old gent thought he might as
well ask her and be done with it.
So one Sunday night Ben fixed up in
bis best rig and went over to Johnson's.
It was a little rainy that evening and
the dampness weut right into lion's hip,
but he, thought of Hitty and didn'tmind
it- i
Hitty met him at the door and 'peared
powerful glad to see him. Ben got a
little bolder when he seen how smiling
she looked, and he jist slapped one arm
around her neck and rumpled up her
tuuslin collar so it looked like a dish
cloth, and give her a little mite of i
smack. She blushed and told him to
go away with his nonsense and tell her
the nows.
Ben was determined to tell the hull j
story of his fection as soon as possible,
So, soon arter she'd invited .hint into
the lore room and got him comfortable |
in the he took his watch and 1
corner, out
sed that it was jist 7 o’clock.
“Afore 8,’’sez he to himself, “I’ll hcv
it all deemed."
“Hitty,” sez lie putting back tho
watch into his pocket, “do you love
spruce gum?'’ "Wall, yes,’’ sez she,
“pretty well; only its apt to make my
teeth ache.'’ Ben put his hand into
his pocket, and pulled out something
wrapped up in blue paper. “Here,
Hitty, is a whopping big piece,’’ soz ho,
’and when you git it all chawed up, let
mo know and I'll bring you some more
—our woods is full of it.” “Thank i
you, Ben,' Bez Hitty, opening the paper,
and biting off'a piece; ‘it is first rate,
ain’t it?'
‘Yes,’ sez Ben, gapin; ‘I think so,’
and then there was a loDg silence.
‘Hitty/ sez Ben, all of a sudden, roil¬
ing bis eyes up to the plasteriu. ’Wall,
Ben,’ sez she, looking up to seo if Ben
bad discovered any cobwebs
‘Hitty, f lovo you better’ll all the
airth; better than skating, better than
our forty-acro timber’lot! Oh! ugh—
blast it—ugh 1 Tarnation take it! It's
enough to make Belzebub cry for mas¬
sy !’ And Ben went dancing round the
room, like a wild critter.
»v Hitty stood still in the middle of the
room, w ith her blue oyes starin eana
mo8t out of her head. Ye seo she
despised any one who swore, ant)
wouldn't -have kept company with .)
swoarin man for the world. And Ben
would swear at limes jist to git tho
wind off of his stomach, he said. You
see how it was. Jist as he’d got in the
middle of his luv story, a terrible pain
seized him in his hip, and he stopped
his luv telling and went to swearing,
Hitty wouldn’t hear any of his explana¬
tions, but told him ho needn’t cum to
visit her any more, and she give him
back tbe spruce gum, paper and ail.
Ben tried hard to make her under
stand that it was his rheumatiz that
sworp, not him; hut she only pinted to
the door, and told him to make himself
skorce.
Poor Ben offered her Lis watch if
she’d let him stay, but she profusedbim
decidedly, and he took up his hat and
went ell'a cussing and raving like all
narur.
Uncle Ben’s an old bachelor to this
day, all as he sez, ou account of his
rheumatiz. He baa to go with a cane
now’, and wear a mustard-seed poultice
on his back every dull, rainv spell, and
it mixes up in his worldly affairs.
Onco he sot out to jine the church,
and live a different life, and got all
ready to be baptised, and tho minister
had got his coat oft' and was in the riv¬
er wading round to find the best place
to dip him in, and tho people was all
gathered alongside of the river singing
that fine old hymn, ‘Down in Old Joy
dan’s Goofing Flood 1’ Tho minister
found tho right spot, stuck up his cane
there to mark tho spot, aud come out
and took Ben by tho hand and began
to wado in, and had got about half way
the distance to tho cane, when poor
Ben’s hip began aching as though nee¬
dles was flying through it. And he fell
to dancing and swearing liko a river
pirate. The minister was terribly
shocked, and waded out of the water as
speedily as possible, put on his coat,
aed slid off home, muttering ‘Oh, what
depravity ! what is the world coming
to?’
Bon got oat of the water the best
way ho could. The people that had
como from miles round to see the dip¬
ping went off feeling disappointed. Yet
they had something to talk and laugh |
over for weeks after.
Ben never would git ready agin; tho
rheumatiz in his hip has been his pun¬
ishment in this lifo, but he hopes it will
not mar his future file'
Now, if you go to Ben's home on tho
roling Kenebec, down in tbe Pine Tree
State, you’ll git the hull story of his
rhematiz, and the mediceens he's tried,
and the linaments he's rubbed in, enuff
to fill a big newspaper heapin full.

Two deaf mutes wore married tho
other day in Chenago county N. Y. It
is pleasant to think that no harsh words
will ever pass between them.
Many things in this world must bo
doue not by reson, but by instinct. For
instance., driv.og chickens, folding a
newspaper in the wind, trying on a pair
of new shoes, or managing a political
delegation.
A soldier was sentenced, for deser¬
ting; to have his ear cut off. After un¬
dergoing the ordeal he was escorted out
of the courtyard to the tuuo of “The
Rouges’ March.’ He then turued and
in mock dignity thu3 addressed tho
musicians; ‘Gentlemen, 1 thank you,
but I have no ear for music.’
A sculptor’s wife had her husband
arrested in Cincinnati tbe other day lor
assault and battery, because, as she t<-s
tiffed, on the occasion of her going to
liis studio to inform him that the womau
across the way had eloped, he struck
her in the face with a hug. mans o!
mud. The sculptor explained that the
occasion referred to was the first time
for years be had seen a pleasaut look
on hia wife’s face, and therefore he has¬
tened to take a clay cast of her features,
so as to catch the expression for use on
a bust he intended to model. Tho
court dismissed the casa.
