A Sample Clerk.

Jem B. is wag. A Joke TO Jem is both
food and raiment, and whenever or where
ever there is n opening for fun he has it.
Jem was recently in drug store,
when youth, apparently fresh from the
mountains, entered the store and at once
accostea Jem, stating that he was IN search
ofa job. ~.
"What kind of q Job 2" inquired the wag.
oh, a mos, art shipg--,vant to gesa f;nd
of santsel ipb. ] nn;tired of farmin', aud can
turn my hand to most arythin'."
"WeN, we want man a good, strong
and healthy man, as sample clerk"
"Whats the wagesp'
"Wages are good, we pay $1,000 to man
in that situation"
"What's feller 10 do ?'
ooh, merely TO test medicines that's all.
1t requires stout man, one of good consti.
tulion, and as he gets used TO it he doesn't
mind it. You see, we are very particular
about the quality Of our medicines, and be.
fore We sell any we test every parcel. You
would be required to take-say SIX or seven
ounces of Cas- Tor Oil some days, with few
doses of Rhubarb, Aloes, Croton Oil, and
similar preparation. Some days you would
not be required 10 take anything, but as a
general thing, you can count upon--say
from six to ten doses of something daily
AS 10 the work, that does not amount to
much-:he testing department would be
the principal labor for you, and, as said
before, it requires person of very healthy
organization 10 endure it, but you look hear.
ty, and guess you would suit us. That
young man (pointing to very pale faced,
slim looking youth who happened to be

weeks, but he is hardly stout enough to
stand it. We should:like to have you take
right hold, if you are ready, and if you say
SO, we'll begin to-day, here's new barrel
of castor oil just come in. I'll 60 and

(Here verdant, who had been gazing in
tently upon the slim youth, interrupted him
wilh-)

And he did not come it is supposed he
considered the work too hard.

spring out Of the ground. There was some
thing wired in their appearances, for where
could three thousand wolves come From in
such desert OF snow. The party had taken
the pig into the sleigh his sqneal increas-
ed the wolves boldness. The party con-
tinued 10 fire, bu, they had now used above
half their ammunition, and had but 200
cartridges left, while they were surrounded
by three Thousand wolves.
The two horns of the crescent came near
er and nearer, and threatened TO envelope
the party. If one of the horses should have
given out, the fate of the whole party was
sealed. "What do you think of this Ivan ?"
said Prince Raphine speaking 10 the driver.
II had rather be at home, Prince" care
you afraid of any evil consequences l"-
"The devils have tasted blood, and the
more you fire the more wolves you'll have.'
"What do you think is the best thing 10 be
done! :" "Make the horses go faster."-
care you sure Of the horsest" "Yes Prince.'
care you sure of our safety" The driver
made no reply. He quickened the horses,
and turned their heads towards home.
The horses few faster than ever. The
driver melted them 10 increased speed by
sharp whistle, and made them describe a
curve which intersected one Of the horns of
the crescent. The wolves opened their ranks
and let the horses pass. The Prince raised
his gun TO his shoulder. "For Gods sake
don't fire % exclaimed the driver, tive are
dead men if you dow He obeyed lvan.-
The wolves astonished by this unexpected
act, remained motionless for minute. Dur
ing this minute the troika was averst from
them. When the wolves started again after
it it was TOO late, they could not overtake it.
A quarter OF an hour afterward they were in
sight of home. Prince Rrapnins thinks his
horses ran at least six miles in these fifteen
minutes. He rode over the steppe the next
day, and found the bones Of mors than two
hundred wolves.

DEEDS OF KltDNESS.

Suppose the little cowslip
Should hang its golden cup,
And say, "l'm such tiny floweE
had better not grow up"
How many weary traveller
Would miss its fragrant smell
How many little child would grieve
TO lose it irom-the dell
Suppose the glistening dew drop
Upon the grass should say,
"What can little dew drop doa
had better roll away )"
The blade on which it rested,
Before the day was done,
Without drop 10 moisten it,
Would wiiher in the sun.
Suppose the little breezes,
Upon a sum mer's day,
Should think theselves 100 small 10 cool
The traveller on his way;
Who would not miss the smallest
And softest ones that blow,
And think they make a great mistake
fthey were talking so?
How many deeds of kindness
A little child may do,
Although it has so little strength,
And little wisdom, too!
1t wants loving spirit,
Much more than strength 10 prove
Ho many things child can do,
For others, by his love.

tue TRUTH DOTH NEVER DIE.

Though Kingdoms, States, and Empires fall
And dynasties decay;
Though gorgeous towers and palaces
In heaps of ruin lie,
Which once was proudest Of the proud,
The Truth doth never die
Well mourn not DER the silent past;
lis glories are not fed,
Although its men Of high renown
Be numbered with the dead.
Wen grieve not DER what earth hath lost,
II can not claim sigh; !;
For the wrong alone hath perished,
The Truth doth never die
All Of the Past are living stpl---
: All that is good and true
The rest hath perished, and it did
Deserve to perish too
The world rolls ever round and round,
And time rolls ever by;
And the wrong is ever rooted up,
But the Truth doth never die

quently taught school. In his leisure
hours he continued the study Of the law, and
in 1884 was admitted 10 the bar. From this
time his career has been one of almost un'
interrupted success in oil respects. In 1886
he he was elected Attorney General of the
State Of Illinois, and in 1897 he was ap-
pointed by President Van Buren,, Register
of the land Office at Springfield. In is40
he was elected Secretary of State, and the
following year Judge of the Supreme
Court. This Office he resigned, after serv-
ing two years. In ls4s he was elected 10
Congress, and served there until 1s47, when
he was chosen a United States Senator, in
which position he has continued up to the
present time, and last winter he was elect
ed for a third term of six years. His career
in the Senate is familiar to the people of
the country. He has been intimately con.
nected with all the important Legislation of
the past ten years, and probably no man
living has met with as much intemperate
praise and denuncia,ion as the Little Giant
To illustrate his indomitable energy, an in
cident may be related here. His progress
to official distinction was very rapid, and
naturally excited bitter opposition. When
he was elected to the Supreme Bench, his
enemies everywhere predicted that he
would utterly fail because of his want of
experience in the legal profession. But he
applied himself with all his industry, and
in short time gained the reputation of be-
ing one of the most correct and efficient
Judges Illinois ever had. So it has been
throughout his career. He has always sue
ceeded in commanding respect for his tai
ents, even when his policy and motives
were most condemned. In personal ap.
pearance Senator Douglas is anything but
commanding, and his physiognomy is not
very prepossessing. His manners are
somewhat brusque, and his style of oratory
unpublished but forcible. He has many de-
voted friends, and many bitter enemies.
