SERVED RIGHT. Deacon W was a
staid and honest deacon in one of the interior
towns of New York, who had a vein of dry
caustic humor in his composition. The dea-
con had boy of some dozen summers who
was inclined to be little ugly when not
under the parental eye. In school, especially,
John was cause of constant annoyance 10
the teacher. One day the teacher punished
him for some misdemeanor, and John went
home to enter his complaint, and told his
father that the teacher had whipped him.
What" exclaimed the deacon, elevatng
his eyebrows, "been whipped?"
"Ye-a-as," sobbed the boy.
"And did you let woman whip YEP"
"Ya-a-as, L couldn't help it."
'Now, John, you little rascal, you 90 to
school tomorrow, and if Miss ------ undertakes
to whip you. don't let her il you can help it,
Don't take any stick 10 strike With, but We
may strike, scratch, bite and kick as much as
you have mind to-"
The next day the hoy went TO school, and
embodened by his fathers permission, was
soon brought before the tribunal of violated
rules. The teacher undertook to correct him,
and he did as his father had told him. The
result wss that John got most unmerciful
thrashing, and was thoroughly subdued.-
When he went home he went to his father
crying
"Well, dad, got an orful licking to-day"
"What," said the old deacon, "have you let
that woman whip you again ?"
"Ye-a-as," whimpered John. Il kicked
her, and struck her, and fit all could, but
she damned me orfully."
"Aha!' chuckled the numerous old deacon,
you tarnal little fool, knew she would; and
she'll give you trouncing every time she un-
dertakes it, and 1 advise you to behave your
self in future"
John begun to have some conception of his
fathers motive, and ever after was better
and wiser boy.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
md Consumption.


Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series ofyears, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption and the dan.
gcrous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
Cherry PectoraI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the

For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
FOR Whoopin0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.

very amusing incident, which created a
soou ueai OF excitement, occurred on Sunday
at the colored camp meeting now going on in
the vicinity of Berry's woods. Between five

ted by Tom Bowie and Dick Smith. made
their appearance on the ground, and it was
soon rumored around that they contemplated
matrimony, and proposed to have the thing
done then and there. A start from one or
two of the tents in the direction OF the lovers,
who seemed to be strangers to all on the
ground, caused general rush in the same di-

being crushed out but for the timely interfer-

the object OF their visit could be generally I'M

PRINCE LEOPOLD OF DEssAU.-Old Prince
Leopold of Dessau was one of the most extra
ordinary men of any age. He invented the
iron ramrod, and also all modern military tao
tics. "The soldiery of every civilized country
still receives from this man, on the parade
fields and battle-felds, its word of command.
Out of his rough head proceeded the essential
OF all that the innumerable drill sergeants in
various languages repeat and enforce"
Dessau was little independent principally
embracing few square miles, about eighty
miles south west of Prussia. The Prince had
Lillputian army, and revenue of about
fifty thousand dollars. Leopod's mother was
the sister of the great elector OF Brandenburg's
wife. The little principally was thus, by
matrimonial alliance as we'll as location, in
affinity with Prussia.
Leopold in early youth, fell deeply in love
with beautiful young lady, Mademoiselle
Fos. She was the daughter of an apothecary.
His aristocratic friends were shocked at the
idea of so unequal a marriage. The sturdy
will of Leopold was unyielding. They sent
him away under French tutor, 10 take the
grand tour of Europe. After an absence Of
fourteen months he returned. The first thing
he did was to call upon Mademoiselle Eos
After that he called upon his widowed moth
er. 1t was in vain to resist the will of such a
man. In 1893 he married her, and soon, by
his splendid military services, so enobled his
bride that all were ready to do her homage.
For half a century she was his loved and
honored spouse, attending him in all his CAM
paigns.
With tender heart, Leopold was one of
the most stern and rugged OF men. Spending
his whole life au idst the storms OF battles, he
seemed ever insensible 10 fatigue, and regard
less Of all physical comforts. And yet there
was vein of truly feminine gentleness and
| tenderness in his heart, which made him one
| OF the most loving of husbands and fathers.
His young daughter Louisa, bride of Victor

er at the head of his regiment, once again
before die" The remark was reported to
| Leopold. He was then with his regiment al
Halle thirty miles distant. Immediately the
troops were called out, and marched at rapid
pace to Bernburg. With banners flying, mu-
sic playing, and all customary display of mill
tary pomp, they entered the courtyard of the
palace. Tne dying daughter pale and enact.
ate, sat at the window. The war-worn father
rose in his stirrups to salute his child, and
then put his regiment through all its most in.
teresting maneuverings. The soldiers were
then marched to the orphan-house, where the
common men were treated with bread and
beer; all the officers dining at the princes ta-
