GALL RIGHT -

How many Of US hear the expression
dozen times a week, and have it stick
in the throat of at least half of them 1t
is getting to be hypocritical append,
age of business and social intercourse.
A sponge goes behind the counter
and cuts off dimes worth of tobac-
CO or cheese with an excuse TINT he
wants sample" and the grocery
man says that's all right"
A customer returns a pair of shoes,
soiled and injured after half days
wear, grunting, "they are too small" p"
sld the merchant says "thats all
right"
A church member puts down his
name for twenty five dollars to pay
the preacher, and when called on only
gives ten dollars, with the remark
that "times are too hard" and the par
son says, "that's all right.
A loafer makes a regular practice Of
coming into a printing Office and beg
ging copy of the paper, stating that
abe just wants to read it, and though
the edition is short, the editor greans
with CHASTITY politeness and says that's
all right"
An extravsgant debtor tells pa.
tient creditor every time he meets him
that he "intends to pay that account
tomorrow, certain, and the poor dun
turns off with "that's all right"
And 80 it goes. It's all wrong, and
we say it's "all tight" and by want of
spirit and independence encourage la
illness, imposition, stinginess and every
other sin

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

By the President of the United States of
America, a Proclamation.
The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion of re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledge.
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
universe for the unnumbered mercies
which he has bestowed upon US. Album
dant harvests have been among the re.
wards of Industry. With local excep-
tions, health has been among the bless
ings enjoyed. TRANQUILITY at home,
and peace with other nations have
prevailed. Frugal industry is regain
ing its merited recognition and its
merited rewards gradually, but, under
the Providence of God, surely, as trust,
the nation is recovering from the
lingering results of dreadful civil
strife. For these and all other mer-
cies vouchsafed it becomes US us a peo-
pie to return heartfelt: and grateful
acknowledgements, and with our
thanksgiving, we may unite in prayers
for the cessation of local and Temporal
ry sufferings. therefore, recommend
that on Thursday, the 9th day of
November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship to
make their acknowledgement to AL
mihgty God for His bounty and His
protection, and to offer up praises for
their continuance.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
14th day of October, in the year of
our Lord 1873, and of the Indepen-
dence Of the United States the ninty-
seventh.

late Sunday morning, having had fam
lily prayers and partaken of the Mas
sachusetts matutinal brown bread and
baked beans, put on bis best coat, and
clutching his five-yearold son by the
hand walked as usual to the church of
which he is a pillar. Seated in his
accustomed pew the good man went
gently to sleep under the ministrstions
of the pulpit. Alas while he thus
peacefully slumbered his irreverent
little boy began to divert himself by
an exploration of the paternal pockets;
and the first thing he drew from those
recesses was eight o. clubs. The wild
horror of all the other Deaoons and
all the ancient maiden ladies of the
congregation is a thing before which
the Imagination stands aghast.

A CANADIAN VIEW OF NEBRASKA.

"Make former times shake hands with
latter,
And that which was before come after"
These lines of Hudibras might well
be penned by British poet, for they
satirize an in6rmity to which the
British seem especially prone. Thus,
the London Encyclopedia, in an edi-
ton dated 1S43, though the title page
is new vamped and should read 1929,
describes Cincinnati as "a post town
in the northwest territory, and seven
ty miles north of Georgetown, Ken
tucky." So Dixie, in Greater Britain,
remarks, that "the capital of Nebras-
ka has been fixed two hundred and
fifty miles from the nearest settlement" !"
And still more notable anachronism
is that of David Gardiner, who has
just issued pamphlet in Ottawa, the
capital of the New Dominion, with a
view to check Canadian migration to
Nebraska. ....
But, writing in 1873, his main au-
thority regarding Nebraska is Fishers
Gazetteer, which WIS copyrighted and
published twenty years ago,-in 1858.
There may have been a new title-pag
with other changes since, but every
word quoted by the Ottawa writer is
found in the earliest edition. Asking
where and what is Nebraska? he an
swers that it "reaches to Texas and
Oregon" and yet contains only 1885,
700 miles," that ats central portions
are irreclaimable wilderness with
scarcely an oasis, that sit is the
great American Desert, yet that
"little or nothing is known of its
topography, and that cit has never
as yet received any white inhabitants
except Indian agents, soldiers and
missionaries"
Those Canadians who repose on Gar
diners gospel, how their implicit faith
vanishes when they read the official re-
port of Nebraska population three
years ago rs 122, 1893, or learn that its
orchards carried off the highest prize
at a national pomological convention,
that million and a half acres of
public land we're there occupied dur
ing last year, and that the homestead
ers numbered one e-seventh of all those
settled on all the public domain. Talk
no more of the play of Hamlet with
the part of Hamlet left out, while a
writer on Nebraska in 1873 ignores
both the Union Pacific and the Bur-
lington and Missouri River railroads,
the one forming the larger half of
the worlds grandest highway, and the
other which Was the first land compa-
ny chat made farms pay for themselves
by granting long credit, low interest,
deferriug all payment of principal for
four years, and cutting down prices 20
per cent. to ell prompt tillers. On
the whole, GARDENERS book is best
suited for circulation in that Egyptian
section of Illinois, where in the last
Presidential campaign the votes were
all cast neither for Grant nor yet for
Greeley, but for General Jackson.

Tact is the only reliable cement for

dinner more. 1t supports her in those
lonely hours when Charles yields him
self up to that inexplicable flscina
ton men find in the society of their
own sex. 1t enables her to resign ner-
self to Charles persistent ignoring of
his slipper case, and his determinate
forgetting that boots were not primari-

rooms. 1t lays the blessed seal of si-

A complicated case of conscience is
reported in an Ohio newspaper. Sew
enteen years ago a smart lad in \ ood
county sold to buyer Of furs black
cat.skin with a mink's tail sewed to it,
receiving for it 81 %, the value OF
genuine mink-skin. Years passed on,
as the story teller says. The boy be
came a man, a member Of the chruch.
But that cat-skin laid heavy on his
soul, and no peace for his troubled
conscience could he find until he had
refunded, with interest the money Of
the swindled furr:er. The repeptant
man paid principal and interest,
amounting to 1870. But it appears
that the dealer sold the skin as that Of
a mink for SO. AS he cannot find the
purchaser restitution is impossible, and
what he can properly do with the So
20 it would take a pretty sharp casuist
to determine.
An exchange says: "When quinine
gives you a buzzing in the head, stop
taking it," The Same remark will
apply to applejack.

HAMILTON Fish, Sec'y of State.

A man in Detroit had about as live.
ly time the other day as can we'll be
imagined. Striking across lots to visit
neighbor, he had reached the mid
die of the field when he remembered
that it contained specially uncivil
bull, and recsived tangible proof there
of in the shape of the bull himself
charging towards him at terrible
rate. No tree was in reach, and the
fence was rods away. So in default Of
better refuge, the man crept into a
hollow log that lay in his path. The
bull saw the man, saw the log, and to
it transferred its attentions. The log
was large but old and tender; and ev-
cry time the bull hauled back and
jumped for it, he covered himself with
glory and clouds of bark and wood.
Sometimes he whirled one end aud
then he gave the center heave, and
then knocked q foot off the other end
When the man was nearly convinced
of the approaching end Of his exist
ence, the neighbors reached the scere
and he was saved.
ANOTHER ARTICLE OF COMMON
HOUSEHOLD USE sUPERsEDRD.-Asso-
ciated with the earlier recollections Of
great many men and women is tho
memory of the Bath brick and emery
stone wherewith the knives and forks,
and pans and kettles, and other kitch-
en- artiles we're at stated times SECURED
up" That primitive mode prevails
to-day in thousands of families who
have never used Sapolio. But once
let Sapolio be used for this purpose
aud that housewife never wants Bath
brick or emery stone any more. Sapo-
lio not only scours off rust and tar
nish, it brightens, bestows a polish as
brilliant as new, and does it in one
tenth the time required by any other
substance. Sold everywhere. House
keepers, try it. 1882
A few nights since sailor living in
house on Munjoy, Maine, over which
passes telegraph wire, dreamed that
he was on board ship, and that some
of the ropes needed taughtning. He
got up, went up on the roof of the
house, and commenced pulling on the
wire. Finding he could not manage
it alone he called to shipmate who
was sleeping with him. His cries
awoke the man and he went up and
discovered the other in his perilous
position. Taking hold of his leg to
prevent his falling, the somnambulist
was awakened, when, looking up and
and seeing the stars, he thought sure
he was on shipboard and again COM
menced hauling on the wire. He was
finally got down from his dangerous
position without harm.
A gentleman the other day saw his
daughter dipping her little doll -baby's
dress into u tin-cup and inquired;
What are you doing, my daugh'
ter?"
"Tm colOring my dolls dress red"
"With what ?"
Beer"
"What put that foolish notion into
your head, child? You can't color red
with beer.p
"Yes, can, pa, because ma said it
was beer that made your nose red"

quired him down town Immediately.

Must a Tenant do the Re-
pairing?

Leases not seldom contain a cove
nant that the tenant shall keep the
premises in good order and repair.
AS to just what this covenant may
mean, however, there is considerable
difference OF opinion, and sometimes
the Intervention OF Judge and jury
are necessary to settle the question.
A case OF this kind has been on trial
in the Superior Court OF Baltimore,
in which the judge, in charging the
jury, described the legal aspect ct lie
matter. The word keep he said,
implied an obligation to put the
premises IN repair it they were out
OF repair when received, and to keep
them 50, Tor it would be idle to stip
ulatc to keep in repair what is out OF
repair, aud the covenant was, there
fore, equivalent TO put and keep and
deliver up" in good order and repair.
The rea! difficulty was, however, IN
the words "good order aud repair"
These words, he SAID, meant such a
reasonable conditioA OF fitness as be-.
longs to houses OF the age, class and
condition, as good repair tor one
might not lie tor another. It was
not necessary that an outgoing tenant
should re paint and rel paper. but on
~ keep the paint and paper in snch
condition as is consistent with it's
use not allow the house TO be de.
faced use il with proper and reas-
enable care, and deliver i, up az it
may be lett after such care. The
Judge remarked that there was no
custom or rule OF law by which an
out going tenant was obliged to re-
paint and re paper. unless under q
distinct ana we'll defined agreement
to that effect. On the other hand,
there is no implication that the ten
ant shall keep the premises as receiv
ed. The Obligation to keep in good
r. pair does not mean to keep the
houss in the condition in which it is
received, but in a condition that Is
reasonable.-Er.
