Every Man His own House.

In this country there is no Workingman,
be he ever so poor and humble, who may
not, if he will, better his condition with
each succeeding year. To do this, he
must correct the habit of spending every
week the full weeks earnings. He must
begin by saving little instead of spending
all. Half dollar a week will amount to
IWeIty-six dollars in year. In four years
this saving will give the sum of over q
hundred dollars In ten years, adding in
terest to his savings, the poor man will be
able to buy little house. If he save q
dollar a week instead of half dollar, he
can have a house twice as large; and lar
ger still in proportion to the weekly amount
of his savings. Who will not be house
helder? 1t is what we waste, or spend il
useless self Indulgence, that keeps us poor.

A LhssoN FOR You've MEN.-While
skilled workmen in most of the handi-
crafts are getting good wages and plenty of
work, thousands of clerks and book keep
ers have lost their situations. Dull times
come, and they are showed of, as their
places can be filed at short notice from
the multitudes who are ever greedy to get
q precarious situation behind S counter.
The most pitiable object to be found, when
hard times comes, is the man who knows
how to do nothing for self-support but sell
goOds-a fact which young men who feel
''abeVe learning a trade" should remem-
Der. Nor is it much better with employ
ers than employees. A New York mer-
chant of thirty years experience, says
that he can count up only four houses
which have run the gauntlet of that thirty
years without failure The notion that
there is an easier way of making living
than by the sweat of the face is a great
humbug, and it is pity that young men so
sflen allow themselves to be fooled by It.

A DROP OF WATER.-A small quantity
of cold water. apparently the most innO-
cent of substances, can be used 50 as to
produce the most horrible tersdres. Drops
of water falling from q height upon the
head, feel after awhile like molten lerd,
and if the process be persevered in long
enough, cause an agonizing death. This
species of torment was well knawn to the
officers of the Inquisition. Our readers
may not be so well acquainted with anoth-
er kind of torture by water which was
practiced by the Dutch authorities on tie
unfortunate English prisoners at AmbOy
in 1922. The victim was fastened up
with Tis arms and legs extended, as if for
crucifixion. ga cloth was then tied upon
the lower part of his face so closely that
scarcely any water could pass by that
done, they poured water gently on his
head till the cloth was full up to his mouth
aad nostrilS, so that he could not draw
breath without swallowing some. When
he was nearly choked, they took him down
to vOmit up water, and when n little re-
covered, tied him up again, using him as
before. In this manner they served him
three or four times, till his belly was as
big as q tun, and his cheeks like bIadders,
and his eyes strutting 0ut beyond his fore.

A KISS AT THE DOOR.
We were standing in the doorway
My little wife aud l.
The golden sun upon her LAIR
Fell down SO silently,

What could ask for more
Than the kindly glance of loving eyes,
A. she kissed me at the door,
I know she loves with all her heart
The one who StHud~ beside,
And the years have heen 80 joyous
since. dr., called her bride.
We've had = much of Happiness
since we met in years before,
Bur the hap,,i,-st time "f all was
When -he kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth, of land or gnl't,
Of fstrse, ~ Inatchless power:
IL does not give the happiness
OfiuSt Que little hour
With one whu loves Inc a. her life
She says she loves me more
And / Thought she did this morning.
When she kissed me al the door.
Al times il seems that all the world.
With all its wealth of gold,
l. very small and poor indeed
Com pared with what 1 hold!
And when the clouds hang grim and dark,
| only think the more
of zone" who waits my coming step
To kiss me at the door
If she live till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
know she'll love me just the same
AS the morning we were wed;
But If the Angel call her,
and she goes to Heaven before,
shah know her when l meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.

Out in Michigan they make ministers
earn their living, judging from a letter
which lady member of the Baptist church
of Pontiac wrote to her sister at Chicago.
She says: 1--WE can't get to meeting this

three days we gave him ten pounds OF
butter and ham, and you better believe
we kept him praying while he staid."

Counsel then read the following letters
from Mrs Sinclair to Mrs Mcfarland:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81
My DEAREST FRIEND: Mrs. c. read
your letter to me this morning, and ! am
almost heart-broken for you. My dear,
what are you going to do? What ever you
decide upon, Of course friends-your true
flends-will accept; but l do hope you
will act with tirmness, with decision. 1t
seems to me that that one great effort is
only aqUestion of time, and the sooneri it is
made the better for you and the children.
Do not for one moment longer entartain
that morbid idea that you are responsible
for the life of one who is sure to break you
down completely and ruin, perhaps, your
children, if they continue to live with him
1t will kill you to live in this way, and
you must not do it. Those dear little boys
must be taken care of, and who can do it
but their own dear mother? My own
dear Abby, love you like sister, or l
should not write this. Anything l can do
for you 1 will cheerfully do. Do not dis
pair you have health, youth and good
friends, and all your friends without accep-
ton will support you. have no doubt
of your success on the stage; but should
you find that to trying for your health,
you can do equally well by writing.
thing you are very modest in your onw es-
timation. Think you writ better than al
most any one know, and should you
give your time to it, have no doubt you
will exceed any American female writer in
a very short time. l must suggest one
thing, and that is, to get Percy away from
his father as soon as possible. 1t seems
] quite lang time since leh you, and ]
am quite ashamed of not writing to you
before; but our time has been wonderfully
filed up with Washington gaiety, and
am very apt, as you know, to neglect
writing to my friends when l feel certain
that all is well. have been jealous, al.
though you have written to Mrs. C. sever.
al times. l love her too much not to be
willing to give her more than half of what
would receive. Is she not good anC
charming? How is dear little Danny?
wish he could come to Mary's birthday
the nineth of March. You must come anC
bring Percy. We may not be home befer,
the eighth, but l don't dare write thai
home Remember that fear is your friend

absence. Now, my darling, do write soon
l shall hope for something definite. You

LEATHRR SoRAPs.-The Paris Cosmos
states that a material which can be pressed
into the form of combs, buttons, knife
handles, ETC., may be made from leather
scraps by cutting them into small pieces,
and keeping them for several days in chic
ride of sulphur. In this way they become
hard and brittle. After being washed
they are dried, ground to powder, and
mixed with glne, or solution of gum ara
bic, or any other adhesive substance, when
the mixture is ready for the moulds.

To HARDEN PoKRR-A fire poker by
constant use, becomes soft, and is gener-
ally more or less bent. This arises from
its being left in the fire, and becoming red
hot, then being put on the fender, where
it slowly cOols-an operation which soft
ems even the best steel. When q poker
has thus become soft and bent, it may
again be hardened by making it hot two
or three times, and plunging it every time
into a pail of cold water. The rapid
ly cooling of steel makes it again hard.

FRANCE.-When King William
began the war with the French,
he proclaimed that he fought not
against France nor the French,
but against Napoleon; that his
was not a war of conquest; yet,
now it appears he is not satisfied
with the reinforcement Of Napo-
leon, but he proOecutes the war
for conquest, and demands from
France as the price Of peace the
surrender to him Of the greater
portion of Lorraine and all Of AL.

WY Is It that sensible men will
wrangle over immaterial matters
when 20 much is involved? And
50 presently fiaunt their little pet
~ prejudices in the eyes of the
public. AL such things tend to
divide the people; produce indif-
ference which will eventuate in to.
tai ruin. These painful reflections
are occasioned by the conduct Of
certain men in this State who rail
against democracy ana cry aloud
for the restoration Of the Wing
party, while others can see no
good in either Democracy or
Whiggery and adopt a new name,
yet all parties are united in COM
mon hatred Of Radicalism and if
could be brought together would
unite upon a common platform Of
principles. This is particularly
true Of Alabama just at this mo-
menk Three Of the most influen-
tial papers in the State, just upon
the eve of one Of the most impor-

the Tribune has the Peoples
ticket and the Selma Times the
Democratic Conservative ticket;
yet all have the same names of

The opelousas (La.,) paper

The opeIousas (La.,) paper
says:
On Saturday last two deaths oc.
Cured of yellow fever in our sister
town of Washington. By Monday
at II o'clock, NJ, five more deaths
had taken place. There appears
to have been no deaths since then.
Among the victims are Miss Coreil,
a daughter Of Mr.. Blaize Motto, n
niece Of Mr.. c. c. Pitre, Mrs. Mark
Budden, and Mrs. Delafosse.
Among the sick are Mr.. N. Ofutt,
Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Arthur r. Lau-
ney, Mrs. Guidry, a child and the
mother of Mr.. D~ubuisson, q niece
of Mr., Rambert, Miss Morrogh,
Mr.. b. Motto, q son Of Mr.. +. L.
Pitre, and another child Of Mr..
Dubuisson.
On Thursday morning all the
sick were doing better, the most of
them convelescent.
The physicians, we are happy to
learn, entertain the opinion that
the fever will have run its course
in six or eight days. Besides, it
appears that it steadily yields to
skillful treatment when taken in
its early stage.
The town Of Washington is al
most entirely deserted, and it is
feared that the disease will spread
in the country.
This fever was brought to WASH
ington, it is said, by the emigrants
who recently arrived from St. Do
mingo. None of them have been
sick, but it is thought that the
germs of the fever we're conveyed
in their clothing, just in the same
manner that it was brought there
ih 1867.
P. S.-Since the above was writ
ten, We are reliably informed that
ten persons have the yellow fever
at Berry's Landing. Mr.. Alexis
Lague died Of it on Thursday
night.
We have no sickness in our
town, and Il is generally believed
that the quarantine which has been
established here vii protect US
from this terrible fever.
