Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are dependent insufficient on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there Is an the brain, spinal supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of marrow and nerves is the result Starved nerves, like starved muscles, becom e strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous body system carried must supply it is the all first the power by which the vital forces of the are on, to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food repair does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. found, by analysis, This recent production of the Bouth American Continent Las been to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous derangements. Crawfordstoab, Ind , Aug. 20, ’86.

LINCOLNTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1890. AS YOU CO THROUGH LIFE, Don’t look for the flaws as yon go through life: And even when you find them. It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind And look for the virtue behind them. For the cloudiest night ha* a hint of light Somewhere in its shadows hiding, ft is better by far to hunt for a star. Than the spots on the son abiding. The current of life runs ever away To the bosom of God’s great ocean. Don’t set your force ’gainst the river’s eonrss And think to alter its motion. bon’t waste a curse on the universe— Remember, it lived before you. Don’t butt at the storm with yoar pnny form— But bend and let it go o’er you. The world will never adjust itself To suit yoar whims to the letter. Some things must go wrong your whole life¬ long, And the sooner you know it the better. It is folly to fight with the Infinite, And go under at last in the wrestle. The wiser man shapes into God’s plan As the water shapes into a vessel. —Ella IF, Wilcox, in. the New York Weekly. The Colonel's Wedding. w They were all down at the “station,” Colonel Legare, Major Hugee, Squire Hammond and Lank Smollet, the vil'-ge constable. They represented the learn¬ ing and wealth of Spotted Squash Cross¬ roads, and the lesser louugers formed a semi-circle at a respectful distance and waited for the words of wisdom and barbed shafts of wit which they knew by experience were sure to flow from the lips of the four aristocrats. The warm October sunshine threw silhouettes of the four great men upon the rough pine boards of the station platform. The air tingled with sugges tions of fox hunting and “partridge .hootin’.” A flock of noisy crows cir cled around with querulous caws, and settled down upon the topmost branches of the pines overhead. A razor-back trotted across the clearing just out of stone shot, ana grunted derisively as Hank Dupree vainly tried to hit nim with a pine eouc. Several forlorn hens scratched eagerly between the railroad ties for imaginary worms, and picked the rusty rails angrily when the certain failure of their enterprise became appa rent to them. The stillness had become painfully au dible, when Lank Smollet spoke: “Colonel, this is a powerful fine day.” flighty tine, sir, mighty fine!” re plied the Colonel, as he swept the distant horizon with an approving eye. “’Pears as if it might ram, though, Colonel, don’t you think?” asked Squire Hammond. “Not a bit--” began the Major, but the Colonel stopped him with an angry frown. “I t’niuk, sir, that the Squire was ad dressin’me,” said tlie Colonel. “I apologize, Colonel. I felt so sure what you are about to remark that I took it for granted--” “Never take anything for granted, sir!” replied the senior officer. “It’s a habit, sir, that I have always found likely to entail disastrous consequences. ” Here the Colonel paused and cut of! a large piece of navy plug, which he con¬ veyed with the air of a connoisseur to its proper resting place. Then he glanced around at his companions. They were strangely uncomfortable, Thc Major was particularly crestfallen; but that was of course due "to his recent bad break. There was something the matter with them undoubtedly. Nearly every man had his jack-knife in his hand and was balancing it carefully on his forefinger, or tossing it abstractedly from one haud to the other. The Colonel saw the jack-knives and at once realized the situation. He took his own “Rogers” from his pocket, picked up a piece of pine and began to whittle. The effect of this seemingly unimpor tant action was remarkable. Every other man present sighed gratefully, leaned forward, and picked up a piece of soft pine and began to whittle assiduously. They all had been waiting for the Colonel to begin. The rules of etiqui:te at Spotted Squash Crossroads are very strict. “You were saying, Squire,” said the Colonel, “that you thought it was going to rain.” “I beg your pardoa, Colonel,” replied the portly Squire. “I said it peared as if it might rain.” “All the difference in the world. But, speaking of the rain, that reminds me of one of the biggest rain storms that have ever been seen, sir, in the whole of Richmond County.” The Major started to speak, but Lank Smollet, who knew by experience how to deal with the Colonel, promptly checked him; The Colonel sighed, and, having whit¬ tled away his first piece cf pine wood, picked up another and began to whittle and speak simultaneously. “It was in the year ’57—eigbiaen— fifty .seven—sir, and the worst winter that we had experienced in Georgia in many years. There was no snow, but plenty of mean, drizzling rain and hard sleet. All the creeks were ice-bnund, and I used to have a big iron bar on my washstand to break the ice in my water pitcher every morning. It was mighty hard to get a fire hot enough to cook victuals on, and the sheets were so cold that we had to wrap ourselves in bear¬ skins before going to bed to keep from freezing to death. Crying became a posi¬ tive luxury to the women and children that winter, for^the tears would freeze in their eyes before they had a chance to weep them. When my mother and sis¬ ters wanted to cry they’d have to steam their eyes over a kettle of boiliug water.” The Colonel paused and gazed pensive¬ ly at the razor-back, which had stam¬ peded the group of hens and was at that moment eating pine moss with great rel Uh. / “I was a young m9n, then,” hg con¬ tinued, with-a reminiscout sigh- “and, though \ say it myself, I was ns fine a looking youngster as any south of Mason and Dixon's line—or north, either. There were few women in the country who weren’t ready to worship the ground I walked on. I could drink with the best of ’em, and was celebrated as a dullest from Tennessee to Florida. Before I had twenty-one years old I had been but eleven times—eleven times, sir, by heaven! and at last I got to be so famous that there were mighty few men who had the courage to call me out. Why, my duel with Tilly at Sandbar Ferry Was the talk of the county. “It was in the February of that year that I married Mrs. Legare. We had been engaged for over a year, according to custom, and I was impatient nS^briaw to make pretty Tilda Clayton X*y father, Judge Legare, made the prepara¬ tions for the ceremony on a grand scale, befitting a family whose ancestors bad marched with Oglethorpe and given their best blood to the wan of their country, “la those days a gentlemen There was married in an aristocratic way. wa* no plebian ceremony in a Church, but the wedding took place at the house of the bride, and the minister came to us—we didn’t go to the minister. In our case, however, as my bride wa9 my father’s ward and li ved with us, the ceremony was of course performed at the Legare mansion. It took place at 9 o’clock in the night, and was attended by so maDy patrician people that the guests filled the great house from top to bottom. We killed ten beeves and forty head of sheep for the wedding dinner. It took fifty hands to wait upon the guests, and they were kept busy all the time. The dinner was eaten before the cere¬ mony, as the minister whom we had engaged was suddenly taken sick, and it took three hours to fetch another one. It was a great success, and the guests were in high humor for tilt nuptial rites, The clergyman rode up soon after the dinner was over, and Mrs. Legare and I stood up before him, with the eye3 of three hundred onlookers upon us. “Suddenly, and without any warning, there was a frightful burst of thunder, followed by a terrific downpour of rain, How that rain did come down! The drops were as big as cannon balls, and we found the next morning that the out side shingles of the roof had been splin tered to kindling wood. A servant who tried to ran across from the house to the servants’quarters was struck senseless by the ram, and was a gibbering idiot for the rest of his days. It was terrible, sir, terrible! “Most of those present were for post poning the wedding till the next day, but [ wouldn’t hear to it, and the rninis ter proceeded with the ceremony. “Just as he was saying: ‘Do rou take this woman,’ etc. / ’one of the ladies screamed and fainted dead away. She had been standing near the door leading into the hail, the floor of which was a little lower than the room where we stood. Dr. Smithkias looked out into the hall and started back with a cry of alarm. Then we all rushed to the door “The floor of the hall was covered with wqter which was within au inch of the room where the ceremony was going on, and rising at the rate of a foot a minute, The next moment the water poured into the room, and all of the ladies who had not fainted gathered up their skirts and jumped upon the chairs and sofas.” “Pretty remarkable rate, Colonel, wasn’t it?” asked the Major, deferen tially. “Yes, sir,” replied the Colonel, testily, “It was remarkable. Everything about this story is remarkable, and the most remarkable thing about it, sir, seems to ! be that some men, sir, seem ta know more about other people’s stories than they do about their own!” and the Colonel fairly glared at Major Hugee as he picked up a fresh stick and kept on whittling. The Major, crushed for the third time, again subsided, and the narratir con tiuued: “I realized that it was a time for action, and gave speedy instructions to the servants, who were nearly crazy with fright. We hastily carried the ladies up to the floor above, and the servants fol¬ lowed with the finer articles of furniture. The carpets, all of the finest Axminster loom, had already been ruined, but that, although it entailed the loss of several thousand dollars, meant little to us in those days. “We made the ladies as comfortable as possible, and made two of the biggest meu servants swim down to the landing to get all the batteaux. They had to hold wooden fire-boards over their heads to keep from being stunned by the rain drops. “The water in the meantime kept coming higher and higher, and finally reached the second floor. We were obliged to make auother move to the third story, and most of the ladies be¬ came hysterical. That added to our dis¬ comfort, and before long Mrs. Legare was the only woman in the crowd who was in full possession of her senses. “Then I remembered that the ceremony was stilt unfinished. I was not super¬ stitious about it, but I hated to leave anything undone, so we stood up in our dripping garments and were married. “The last words had just been pro¬ nounced when we felt the floor trem¬ bling. We rushed to the windows and looked out. The house was floatiug away 1 “Upon learning this we were all ter¬ ribly scared and those of the ladies who had recovered from their hysterics com¬ menced to scream ia a frightful way. They would not be quieted, but ran from room to room like frightened deers—as they were. “The big house rushed on at a fright¬ ful rate, pushing its way through the tree tops like a pointer through discovered a field of sugar cane, and I coon that we were floating upon the swollen bosom of the Savannah River. Just then I heard a cry outside, and, looking out. saw the two colored men in a batteau towing a dozen others. We were saved. “Followed by all of the male guests and most of the servants, I jumped into the bat’esu and seized a paddle.

The lower part of the house had been so long under water that it had been swelled to several times its original size, which accounts for the fact that the Legare Mansion is now shaped like a pyramid.” The Colonel commenced whittling an¬ other stick, and his audience remained silent. Then the Major yawned, got up, stretched himself and looked due south, while the others, collectively and indi¬ vidually, followed his example. The train was coming in .—New Tori Sun. An Intelligent Turtle. J. H. Brobaska, the well-known cs conauetor on the Northern Pacific Rail road, is noted for his fondness for dumb animals retained of every description, and if be had all the “pets” he has pos sewed at various times, he would have a fair start in the way of a zoological gar¬ den of his own. Probably the most novel of all his experiences in this line, as related by himself, recently occurred on the lake near this Some time last summer, while stroll¬ ing about C®ur d’Alene's suburbs, he came across two small turtles, lively lit¬ tle fellows of the water species, and suc¬ ceeded in capturing them. He placed them in his coat pocket, took them to Spokane Falls, and there provided them with a miniature aquarium in his roam and commenced their domestication aod education. One of theta the tutor named “Pat,” and the other one he called “Pete ” Pat had evidently at some time in his life been a hod-carrier, for on his back was a white spot as if caused by a drop of plaster falling upon it. As winter approached and Mr. Brobaska was absent from his room a great portion of the time, he became solicitous for the welfare of his little proteges, and S sally decided to bring them back to the Coeur d’Alene Lake and set them free. Accord ingly they were again placed in his pocket, and in due time returned to their native element. A few days ago, while Mr. Brobaska and some friends were rowing upon the lake, the former espied a small turtle swimming upon the surface a short dis¬ tance from them. He instantly stretched out his hand to the uncouth voyager and called out, “Pete, Pete, came here, old boy I” But as the summons was not obeyed, he changed the salutation to “Pat, Pat!” At the pronunciation of the magic name the little paddler stretched out his neck, turned his head, aiid as the calf was repeated, changed His course and swam fearlessly to the boat, where he climbed into his master’s hand, was placed in the latter’s pocket,and has-again become a citizen of Spokane Falls. Mr. Brobaska hopes in time to find “Pete” again and recover him in the same way .—Cwttr d’Alene (North Da¬ kota) Times. Tempted to Snicide. “Take hold of, me, quick. I caa’t stand it; I want- to jump.” George Field, the son of Cyrus W. Field, was standing on the platform that runs around the tower of the high Washington Build¬ ing, at the foot of Broadway, says the New York Journal. Mr. Field had never before been at the top of his father’s magnificent building. It was a dizzy height to look from. One glance dowu and Mr. Field was instantly seized with an uncoutrolable desire to leap into space. Fascinated as he was, he had strength enough to call Janitor Servia, and then clutched at his arm with the desperation of » drowning man. “Another moment and I should have been down there, John,” said Mr. Field, as he was led away from the railing. The janitor said that a great many people were similarly affected the instant they looked down from the tower. Janitor Thomas Cieary say3 that many persons who go up to the roof of the Equitable Building hurry down again because they are unable to remain and resist the temptation to jump. Salmon in the Hudson Birsr. It is stated that salmon have bees noted by. scores in the Hudson the past season; and now that a Rogers fishway has been put into the dam as Mechanics viile, Saratoga County, the fish are going over that obstruction in large numbers. The stocking of the Hudson with salmon may now ba regarded as an established success, or at least an enterprise for which success can with excellent reasons be promised. There are other dams and falls yet to be provided with fishways, and now that the Mechaaicsville way is proving so effective, it would be only folly to postpone extension of the work. The Hudson as a salmon river is evidently destined to become famous .—New York Wants*. A Beeswax-Ludsa Ship. The old legend of the beeswax-laden ship, wrecked many, many years received ago on the Oregon coast, has again confirmation. Williadi Edward, who iives on tht, Nehsleui River, arrived at Astoria the other day, bringing with him 250 pounds of beeswax which he had picked up with the assistance of hi* daughter, Minnie Garitse, on the coast near thedKehalem.
