Your heart teats over one hun

One hundred thousand supplies of
good or bad blood to your brain.
Which is it?
If bad, impure blood, then your
brain aches. You are troubled
with drowsiness yet cannot sleep.
You are as tired in the morning
as at night. You have no nerve
power. Your food does you but
little good.
Stimulants, tonics, headache

M
will. It makes the liver, kidneys,
skin and bowels perform their
proper work. It removes all im

makes the blood rich in its life

You will be moro rapidly cured
if you will take a laxative dose of

TEC 3MA3K IN SCHOOL.
A district school not far away
Mid Berkshire hills one winter’s day,
Was humming with its wonted noise
Of threescore mingled girls and boys.
Some few opon their tasks intent.
But more on furtive mischief bent.
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on a copy-book;
When suddenly, behind his back.
Rose sharp and clear a rousing smack
As’t were a battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous kiss!
“What is that f” the master cries,
“That, thir,” a little imp replies,
“Wath William Willith, if you pleath.
I thaw him kith Thuthanua I’eathi”
With frown to make a statue thrill
The master thundered,“Hither,Will,’’
Like wretch o’ertaken in his track
With stolen chatties on Ins back,
Will hung his head In fear and shame
And to the awful presence came,
A great, green, bashful simpleton.
The butt of all good-natured fun.
With smile suppressed.birch upraised
The Ihreatener faltered,“l'm amazed,
That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty of an act so rude!
Before the whole set school, to boot.
What evil genius put you to’t?”
“ ’Twas she herself.sir, sobbed the lad,
“I did not mean to be so bad 1
But when Susannah shook her curls
And whispered, I was ’fraid of girls,
Aud dursn’t kiss a baby’s doll,
I could’t stand it, sir, at ail,
But up and kissed her on the spot!
I know—boo hoo—l ought to not,
But from her looks—boo-hoo —
I thought she kind o’ w'shed me too.”
THE SIN OF IDLENESS.
BY REV. SAM P. JONES.
“By the sweat of thy face shalt
thou earn thy bread.”
Many regard this declaration of
the Almighty to Adam as a curse,
but perspiration and prosperity go
hand in hand, they are twin broth
ers and very thick with each oth
er. The good God has fixed it up
so in human affairs that useful,
rational employment is not only
essential to good character, but
contentment aud happiness can
only be obtained in harmony with
this law. A vagabond is a worth
less fellow, a worthless fellow is
one who produces nothing, makes
uothing. earns nothing. He is a
consumer of that which others
make, whether he be a millionaire
or a plain old bum, if he does
nothing he is uothing, for what
the man does is the test of what
the man is, I once did nothing,
unless it was some oasy something.
I know there is no happiness or
usefulness connected with such a
life.
I have been a busy fellow for
25 years, too busy to borrow
trouble, too busy to get into any
devilment, too busy at work to
worry, and I have had about as
much genuine fun and rial enjoy
ment in the last quarter of a cen
tury as any man with equal capac
ity with me. I have observed this
fact not only in Georgia but in all
the states of this Union, and
away up iu Canada, and that the
busy man was the useful man, the
useful man was the happy man.
A doctor who does not practice, a
lawyer who has no clients, a far
mer who spends lub time in town,
a woman who neglects her home
for society and clubs, a boy who
boards with bis daddy ora “sonof
agun” who is is living with his
daddy-iu-law—take the whole
gang and there is not enough con
tentment and happiness in the
crowd to make a flea jump up and
crack his heels together and crow.
My boys are 21 and past, they
boarded with their daddy until
after they were 21, and if they
were good for anything I didn’t
find it out. Now they are hard at
work, busy every day, the sun
doesn’t rise soon enough or set
late enough for them. In former
times they could not go to sleep
at night, they said, until 1 or 2
o’clock, they were restless, and
never could get up to breakfast.
Now they hit the roost pole at 8
o'clock and are up when the chick
ens begin tc crow. They tell me
now they know what contentment
is. It is as true about girls as it
is of buys—the girl who is busy
with her books, busy in the barn
yard, bu«y down with the calves
iu the lot, busy in the kitchen,
busy iu the house-work, a girl
who can play us exquisitely on
the cook stove as she can on the
piano, these girls are happy-
It is a thing of beauty and a
joy to sit around and look at their
rosy cheeks, and listen to their
merry laughter. This rule even
goes to the horse in the lot. If a
horse stands up and does nothing
for a while he gets too big for his
breeches and he wants to walk on
two feet, and some times he does
not care which two feet he is
walking on, but the faithful old
fellow that goes every day, eats
up his corn and fodder at night,
lies dowu to rest, and next morn
ing is iu his place faithful and
true.
My dog seems to thiuk more of
himself wh“n bird time comes,
roaming tile fields in search of
game, and when he stands with
one fore foot uplifted, his tail on
a level with his body, and his
nose on the birds, it is a real tonic
to look on his happiness and ap
preciate his good character. Tho
dog that lies around all day and
eats and sleeps, and then harks at
uothing all uiglit is a nuisance
that ought to be a ated
If parents everywhere could see
these facts there would be no idle
boys. 1 believe it is common sense
and philosophy to spend money
and time and thought in provid
ing some work for the idle ones to
do. I’d rather do someting for
nothing than to do nothing for
nothing. When 1 am doing some
thing for nothiug I am at least
developing muscle and acquiring
the habit of industry, but to do
nothing for uothing while I am at
it manhood is petering out, mus
cles getting more flabby and the
habit of indolence fixing itself up
on me.
These facts are all as true in the
moral world as they are in tho
physical. The reason our churches
ar6 so inefficient and the conquest
of the world going on so slowly is
because there are so many of the
dear old brethren “just a trusting
in the Lord,” nothing more. I’d
rather be a plain sinner than to be
a professor of religion aud do as
little for Christ as a plain sinner
would do. lam like tho old ne
gro preacher when he said, “I’se
gwiue to preach the gospel to the
bench members today, I Bhall have
no reference to do officious mem
bers of my church in dis dis
couse.” Tell mo a man can be a
Cl ristian and never go to prayer
meeting any more thau a calf, and
never reads his Bible any more
than a horse, and never prays any
more than a billy goat—you had
as well tell mo that a man can
deadbeat his way at a widowed
mother’s table aud be respectable.
I respect any man who works; I
do not respect any man or boy
who won’t work. All work and
no play may make Jack a dull
boy, but all play and uo work will
put Jack in the chaingang. if he
gets his deserts. What is a clock
worth that won’t run and run
right? I had as soon carry a trade
dollar in my pocket with a watch
chain huug to it as my watch if
my watch didn’t run and keep the
time. From stars to clouds, from
angels to infants, this rule works
—God’s curse is upon idleness.
God and man honor industrious,
diligent men.
If some father who is fostering
his boys iu their idleness, and
some mother whose daughters are
a constant care to her, if some
boys and girls who have never
done anything usoful, happen to
glance over these lines I have
written and put this philosophy
to the test, I shall not have writ
ten this letter in vain. It is as
true as heaven that usefnl and
rational employment is as essen
tial to character, manhood, wo
manhood, happiness and content
ment, as that rain and sunshine
are essential to the growing fields
of corn and wheat —Atlanta Jour

marked in Norfolk during the try

toward its successive legal victo
