A Sleeping Car Story.

Two members of the West Virginia
Legislature lately took the sleeping cars
to go to Grafton. The cars were crowd
ed, and the two had to sleep together.
One was fat; the other was lean the fat
man snored, and the lean man therefore
lay awake. At about midnight the in
somnic legislator could no longer stand
the stentorous breathing OF his mate,
and arose and sat by the fire. An old
lady entered, and wanted place to
sleep. go to my BERTH" said the sar-
donic lean one, 81 left my little
boy asleep there. 1 shall sit up. 1
must think of legislative things" So
the lady went to the berth, disposed of
useless clothing, and lay down. Pres.
emily the boy" kicked. Then the lady
patted him on the back and said, "Lie
still, sonny; pa said l might sleep along
with you" "Oh, hoi" rosred the bison
"a boy no more but a bison. Thunder
who are you? l amt boy, Tn a
member of the West Virginia Legisla-
ture." The lady went into swoon, nor
could she be aroused till the fat man
promised her that he would have the
lean one impeached.

In order to prevent the payment of
money on forged endorsements, or to
the wrong parties, it is the custom in
England to cross bill or check by
drawing a pen mark across the face of
the paper obliquely from left to right.
This is a sign universally understood in
that country; and any draft, check, or
other paper requiring the payment of
money, when so crossed, if lost is worth
less in the hands of the finder, as it is by
that oblique line cancelled, unless pre-
sented by some one known personally to
the proper parties to receive payment.

From the Texas Neic Yorker for october, 1870.

DIR. Walkers California Vinegar Bitters
An old Scotch physician once said to
one of his patients: Keep your feet
warm, your head cool, and your bowels
open, and there's little 'ilse can harm
ye." There is certainly more truth than
poetry in the above aphorism.
Something over one year ago we in
troduced the proprietors of the above
named Bitters to the Texas trade, through
the columns of that well-known and
justly popular journal, the San Antonio
Herald, and the result has been that
now there is scarcely city or town in
the State of Texas where this article Of
medicine is not sold and used.
Texas is undoubtedly one of the most
lovely and salubrious climates in the
world. But we have never yet heard OF
place so healthy but that some types
of disease exhibited-and some forms OF
sickness would prevail as the result OF
over-eating, over-working, or dissipa-
tion in some of its numerous shapes.
We can moreover aver, without the
fear of successful contradiction, that af-
ter one years experience in the use OF
VINEGAR BITTERs in our own house
hold, buying and paying one dollar for
each bottle used, we have never found
any medicine which so completely reme-
died nearly all human ills.
One of the great levers which this
medicine brings to bear upon the system
is, it attacks-and that vigorously-the
irregularities of the stomach. 1t pitches
into the liver, and perfectly astonishes
that vital organ, which in some people is
so lazy. 1t sets it to work with vigor
A good appetite and digestion follow
Food assimilates, and the whole man is
at once made new. His blood, which is
the life of the flesh, rushes through the
arteries, imparting tone to the system
which is easier felt than described.
This subject may seem of little i'm.
portance to some of our readers. But
it is not so. Good health is more pre-,
cious than fine gold. Anything which
will secure it is above price. He who
discovers or invents remedies which en-
able us to overcome our indiscretions, il
a philosopher and benefactor of hi
race. Please read the advertisement O
r. H. MCDONALD g. Co., and see what
they have said, beyond what we hav'
said. We believe it will prove blessing
to thousands.

MIR. AND MRS. BRomBLE.

Old Bromide, he came home one day,
And swore by the leaves on the tree, tree,
That he could do more work in q day,
Than his wife could do in three, three.
Mrs. Bromide then jumped up,
And said she wanted to know, know,
If he would do the work in the house,
And she would follow the plough, plough
And you must milk the spotted COW,
For fear she will run dry, dry;
And you must feed the little pigs
That lie within the sty, sty.
And you must put the milk in the churn
That stands within the frame, frame;
And You must watch the fat in the pot,
That it does not fly In the flame, flame.
Mrs. Bromide took the whip,
And went to follow the plough, plough
Mr.. Bromide took the pail,
And went to milk the cow, COW.
The COW she crooked and reeled,
And rumpled with her nose, nose;
She kicked old Bromide against the shins
The blood ran down his toes, toes.
He went to feed the little pigs
That lay within the sty, ETY.;
He hit his head against the beams,
The brains began to fly, fly.
He went to feed the speckled hen,
For fear she would not lay, lay;
And he forgot the spool of yarn
His wife span yesterday, day.
He went to put the milk in the churn,
That stood within the frame, frame;
And he forgot the fat in the pot,
And il all flew in the fame flame.
He looked east, he looked west,
He looked toward the sun, sun;
He thought it was very long day,
And his wife would never come, come. .
Mrs Bromide she came home,
She saw him look so sad, sad
She wheeled herself all round and round
Saying-she was glad, glad.
