I was shoveling sand. The technical
term was failing. The silver rock is
ground over twice, and they clean it
over again. Whenever [ had lot of
sand to shovel 1 was so particular l
would sit down for an hour and half
and think about the best way to shovel
the sand. And if could not cipher it

shovel it around needless. would leave
it until next day.
"Many time l would be carrying a
bucket full of sand from one pile to an
other, thirty or forty feet off, right in
the middle, suddenly a new idea would
strike me, and would carry that sand
back, and sit down and think about it
and like enough get so wrought up and
absorbed in it, that l would 60 to sleep.
Why I always knew there must be some
tip-top, first rate way to move sand.
''At last discovered it. | went to
the boss and told him that I had got
just the thing, the very best and quick

the other. And he says, L am awful
glad to hear it. You never saw man
uplifted as he was. 1t appeared to take
a load off his breast-a load ef sand, [
suppose. And | said: What you want
now is cast iron pipe about Is or IA
feet in diameter, and, say 42 feet long.
And you want to prop one end of that
pipe up about 35 or 40 feet off the
ground. And then you want revolv-

steam from the engine-with a chair
fastened to it, am to sit in the chair,
and have Chinaman down there to fill
up the bucket with sand. and pass it up

are. 1t is just as easy as rolling off

GooD SENsE.-It will preserve us
from consciousness it will lead US to
distinguish circumstances; keep US from
looking after visionary perfection, and
make US see things in their proper light.
1t will lead US to study dispositions,
peculiarities, accommodations; to weigh
consequences to determine what to OBJ
serve and what to pass by; when to be
immovable and when to yield. It will
produce good manners, keep US from
taking freedoms, and handling things
roughly; will never agitate claims of
superiority, but teach us to submit our
selves one to another. Good sense will
lead persons to regard their own duties,
rather than to recommend those of
others.

LOVE, M URDEK, AND ALMOST
MATRIMONY.
in Manchester maiden dwelt
Her name was Phoebe Brown,
Her cheeks were red, her hair was black,
And she was considered by good judges to be
by all odds, the best looking girl in the town.
Her age was nearly seventeen.
Her eyes were sparkling bright,
very lovely girl she was, and for year and a
half tn ere had been good looking young man paying
his attentions to her, by the name of Reuben White
Now Reuben a nice young man,
As any in the town;
And Phoebe loved him very DEAR
But on account Of his being obliged to work
for living he never could make himself agreeable to
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown.
Her parents were resolved
Another she should we'd
rich old miser in the place;
And old Brown frequently declared that rath-
er than have his daughter marry Reuben White he'd
knock him on the head.
But Phebes heart was brave and strong:
She feared no parents frowns;
And as for Reuben White so bold,
I've heard him say more than fifty times, that
with the exception of Phoebe he ddn': care cent for
the whole race of Rrowns.
Now Phoebe Brown and Reuben White
Determined they would marry;
Three weeks ago last Tuesday night
They started for old Parson Webster's with the
fixed determination to be united in the holy bonds of
wedlock, though it was tremendous dark, and raned
like the very Old Harry.
But Captain Brown wide awake
He loaded up his gun,
And then pursued the loving pair
And overlook 'em when they'd got about half
way to the Parsons, when Reuben and Phoebe started
upon run.
Old Brown then took deadly aim,
Toward young Reuben's head
But. oh it was bleeding shame,
For .he made mistake, and shot his only
daughter and he had the unspeakable anguish Of
ing her drop down stone dead.
Then anguish filled young Reubens heart,
And vengeance craZed his brain
He drew awful jack-knife out,
And plunged it into old Brown about fifty or
sixty times so that very doubtful about his
coming to again.
The brny drops from Reuben's eyes
In torrents poured down;
He yielded up the ghost and died
And in this melancholy, and heart-rending
manner terminates the history of Reuben and Phoebe
and likewise of old Captain Brown

THE HYPOCHONDRIAC.

Coed morning, Doctor; how do you
do? [ haint quite so well as I have
been; but | think I'm some better than
[ was. [ don't think that last medicine
you gin me did me much good [ had
terrible time with the ear-ache last
night; my wife got up and drapt few
draps of Walnut sap into it, and it re-
lieved it some; but | didn't get wink
of sleep till nearly daylight. For near
ly a week, Doctor, I've had the worst
kind of narvous headache; it has
been so bad sometimes that | thought
my head would bust open. Oh, dear !
[ sometimes think that I'm the most af-
fictedest human that ever lived.
Since this cold weather sot in, that
troublesome cough, that 1 have had ev-
cry winter for the last fifteen year, has
began to poster me again. (Coughs.)
Doctor, do you think you can give
me anything that will relieve this
desprit pain have in my side?
Then [ have crick, at times, in the
back Uf my -s~l,-aA that / can't tnrn
my head without turning the hull of my
body. (Coughs.)
Oh, dear What shall l do I've
consulted almost ever doctor in the coun-
try, but they don't any of them seem to
understand my case. l have tried every
thing that 1 could think of but can't
find anything that docs the leastest good.
(Coughs.)
Oh this cough-it will be the death
of me yet You know l had my right
hip put out last fall at the rising of Dea-
con Jones' saw mill /; its getting to be
very troublesome just before we have a
change of weather Then I've got the
sciatica in my right knee, and sometimes
I'm so crippled up that | can hardly
crawl round in any fashion.
What do you think that old white
mare of ours did while l was out plow-
ing last week? Why, the wicked old
critter, she kept a backing and backing,
on till she backed me right up agin the
Golfer, and knock'd a piece of skin off
my shin nearly so big. (Coaghs.)
But [ had worse misfortune than
that the other day, Doctor. You see it
was washing -day-and my wife wanted
me to go out and bring in little stove
wood-you know we lost our help lately,
and my wife has to wash and tend to
everything about the house herself.
| knew it wouldn't be safe for me to
go out-as it was raining at the time
but I thought I'd risk it any how. So
[ went out and picked up few chunks
of stove-wood, and was coming up the
steps into the house, when my feet
slipped from under me, and | fell down
as sudden as if I'd been shot Some of
the wood lit upon my face, broke down
the bridge of my nose, cut my upper lip,
and knocked out three of my front teeth.
l suffered dreadfully on account of it,
as you may suppose, and my face aint
we'll enough yet to make me fit to be
seen, specially by the woman folks
| (Coughs.) Oh, dear but that aint all,
Doctor, I've got fifteen corns on my toes
and I'm afeared I'm going to have
the 'yallar janders." (COughs.)
