OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
Only a Drunkard.

This Saturday night, after the
work Of the day was done, walk
ing out with a friend, we came TO
a crowd of men and boys assemb-
led in the street.
What is the trouble-why this
crowd2'
Only drunkard the boys are
having some fun with
And that was all. There he vas
in the gutter, staggering as he
held to a lamp post. A working
man evidently. Perhaps ten years
our junior. His coat was torn
his hat muddy as were all his
clothes. The playful boys who
might be sons of drunkards, or
might not, were pelting him with
mud, sticks, oyster shells, and any
thing else they could find on the
street to throw-were tearing his
already torn garments, and mock
ing him with jeers and jibes as he
tried to catch them as they came
within his reach.
Shame on you men! To laugh
at misfortune! Why not help
him?'
He is only drunkard!
But what are they who love
him?'
And we walked with him the
distance of block; till police>
man was met, who took him to his
home on Sixth avenue.
Only drunkdrd!
Is not that enough? The amuse-
ment he was furnishing to those
who looked on was at the expense
of those who loved him-at the
expense of innocent ones. We
saw him in his home. He was q
shoemaker by trade. Living in
the fifth story of a sort of tena-
ment house-in two little rooms.
He had a wife, half starved, sick
lv, half-lifeless wife, whose eyes
were red with weaping rs she help
ed remove the clothes from his
lstless, limsey body. And he
had two o little children, boy and
q girl The former, wonder.
full little fellow; the latter, a baby,
who looked with its wondering
eyes to know what was going on.
Only drunkard! That was all
at least that is what the 10 an in the
crow d told us. But he was more He
was a man--as we are. A husband
and father A working man who
had himself and his Lived ones to
support lie was man who
should have had a better home
than le had. Then he would have
been happier. His growing pride
would not longer have kept him
here in two little rooms when he
needed more
The boys and the men laughed
il the streets, but his poor wife
wept when she saw him. The lit
tie boy stood silent and in tears
behind the door. The innocent
baby was too young to know what
all this meant. The poor, half
starved wife and mother, over
worked and under-f fed, wept and
sobbed as she removed this article
and that, looking tearfully at him
she loved more than at the work
OF mending and cleaning she must
do before he could go again to his
work. More hours of toll for her
when she needed rest.

RICHMOND,
DARBY AND JOAN.
A Famous Old Ballad.

When Darby saw the setting sun,
He swung his scythe and home ward run,
Sat down drank of his quart and said,
'My work is done, I'll go TO bed
'My work is done " retorted Joan,
.My work is doue Z yonr constant tone;
But helpless woman ne'er can say
Her work is done, till Judgment Day.
You men can sleep at night, but we
Must toll Whose fault is that?' quoth be.
Il know your meaning Joan replied,
.But, sir, my tongue shall not be tied;
l will go on and let you know
What work we women have to do:
First, in the morning, though we feel
As sick as drunkards when they reel
Yes, feel such pains in back or head
As would confiue you men to bed
We ply the brush, we WELD the broom,
We air the beds and right the room;
The cows must next be MIXED and then
We get the breakfast for the men.
Ere this is done, with whimpering cries
And bristling hair, the children rise;
These must be dressed and dosed with rue,
And fed-and all because of you.
We next'-here Darby scratched his head,
And stole off grumbling to his bed;
And only said, as on he run,
sZounds woman'S clack is never DONE.
At early dawn, ere Ph9bus rose,
Old Joan resumed her tale of woes;
When Darby thus-'I'll end the strife,
Be you the man and the wife;
Take you the scythe and NOW, while
Will all your boasted cares supply
Content quoth Joan, give me my stint :
This Darby did, and out she went.
Old Darby rose and seized the broom,
And whirled the dirt about the room;
Which having done, he scarce knew how,
He hied to milk the brindied COW.
The brindled COW whisked round her tail
In Darby's eyes and kicked the pail;
The clown, perplexed with grief and pain,
Swore he'd eer try to milk again;
When turning round, in sad amaze,
He saw his cottage in blaze
For as he CHANGED to brush the room
In careless haste, he fired the broom.
The fire at last subdued, he swore
The broom and he should meet no more.
Pressed by misfortune and perplexed,
Darby prepared for breakfast next;
But what to get he scarcely knew
The bread was spent, the butter, too.
His han,,s bedaubed with paste aud -four,
Old Darby labored full an hour;
But. luckless wight thou couldst not make
The bread take form of loaf or cake.
AS every door wide open stood,
In pushed the SOW i'll quest of food
And stumbling onward, with her snout
Oerset the churn-the milk ran out.
Is Darby turned, the sow to beat,
The sllpp'ry cream betrayed his feet;
He caught the bread trough in his fall,
And down came u arby, trough, and all.
The children, wakened by the clatter,
st TT up and cry, 'Oh what's the matter ?
Old Jow Ter baTked, and tabbe mewed,
And hapless Darby bawled aloud,
Return, my Joan, heretofore,
I'll pay the housewives part no more;
since now, by sad experience taught,
Compared to thine, my work i naught;
Hencefnrth, AS business calls, I'll take
Content, the pluw, the SCI the, the rake,
And never more iransgress the line
Our fates have maj ked. while thou art mine.
Then. Joan. return, AS heretofore,
I'll vex your honest soul no more;
Let each our proper task attend
Forgive the past, and strive to mend

Classification of Flowers.

The flowers usually grown, from
seeds are Herbaceous, Perennials,
Biennials, and Annuals.
Hardy bulbs, like tulips. crocus
es and hyacinths, should be PLAN
ted in the autumn. Tender or
summer bulbs, like the gladiolus.
tuberose, and tiger flower, must
be set out in the spring.
Herbaceous Persnnials are plants
which die down In the autumn, but
the roots continue to live, and new
branches ard flower-stems are
thrown up OR many years. Some
continue indefinitely, but others
die afte' three or four years, like
the Sweet William; but if the roots
are divided every year, they will
continue to live and increase
Th:se are called imperfect peren
nils.
Biennials flower the second and
often the third year, and then die,
like the holiyock; but these may be
preserved by dividing the roots.
Annuals flower the first season,
perfect their seed, and then die,
Some varieties that are grown as
innuals in q northern climate, are
either perennials or biennials in
their southern home, where there
are no severe winter foosts. This
is true Of the verbena, marvel OF

escapes the effect of the poison. That is instinct.
Human beingsOn the other hand, must depend

this vital subject? Docs 1t not tell us that to
inyigorate and purify the system is the best way
to protect 1t against the invisible poison which
generates disease? Surely 1t does. The next
question is, what guide shall we follow in choos-
ing q medicinal safeguard? Reoson replies let
your monitor be experience, Well, the expert
ence Of eighteen years comprised in one unbro-

us that Hostetter's Stomach Btters possess
strengthening, regulating and antiseptic prop

This therefore is the antidote to which reason

necessary that the stomach and all the sccretive
organs should be, so to speak, in a robust condi-
ton. Upon the amount of resistance which the

HEALTHY.-It has been extremely siclSly In
Chillcothc and other places during the present
summer. But in Portsmouth II has been re-
markably healthy. And the Portsmouth folks
feel quite jolly about it, and enjoy themselves
by playing base ball and poking fun at their
siclkly neighbors.
The real cause of all this is said to be the fact
that the medicines taken by our Portsmouth
friends are all pure, and purchased at those
standard Portsmouth Drug Stores, the houses Of
Enos Reed Bro, and Kicker q Jones. That is
the secret of the whole matter.
