A Memphis Idyl.

SOME months since an Italian resident
of Memphis determined to settle in life by
marrying, and recollecting the sunny
faces and laughing eyes of the maidens of
his native land, determined to have wife
from the home of Dante. He wrote to his
brother, VINO resided in Italy, that he
| wished wife, and to look out for one that
answered his description Of an ideal. In
due course OF time the answer came, and
with it photograph OF the maiden, ac-
companied by pedigree. He loved the
likeness, and propose, to marry the orig
inal on her arrival in this land OF liberty.
Old paterfamilias over the water shook
his head and unused thusly: Suppose that
my beauteous uaug liter, on her arrival in
Memphis, might not suit the Transatlan-
tic lover, what wou become Of her in a
strange land, and how could she return to
h r Italian home? He sought out the
brother OF his prospective sOn-in. law, and
proposed that he should give ten-thou-
sand-d liar bond for the safe return of his
daughter from America, provided the
marriage did not take place. The propO-
sition was accepted and the maiden, &C.
companied by the brother # her proposed
hush md, landed in due course of time Oh
the Chickasaw bluffs. But naughty Cupid
interfered somewhat, and the maiden did
not become enamored with her affianced
on sight, and asked postponement. Here
was dilemma; the lover was frantic to
marry, the brother was beginning to fear
thar he was getting into trouble abont his
bond, as he could not force the beauty 10
return to Italy, and theli tie lady, woman
like, wished to play the coquette for a
while and throw little obstacles in the
way, i'll fact, was disposed to favor some
other swain. After some trouble, the
matter was settled, and the maiden con-
accomplished to the great JOY of all parties
interested. The married couple sent a
copy of the marriage certificate to the old
man over the water, and the oil Floren-
tine is happy in knowing that the daughter
of his house is happily married on the
banks of the Mississippi, three thousand
miles away in the west.

How to Destroy Some Noxious Insects.

The HumOrs Of the Signs.

WHAT gullible set of people we must
be, if we may judge by the exceeding
slenderness of the devices used for our en-
trapping at ever street corner! Take the
soda-water signs, for instance. Now and
then we see one which contents itself with
the bare announcement, "Soda- Water"
On the next corner one reads ''Cold Soda
Water" Another has it 6 1ce-cold Soda
Waters" another "The Coolest Soda
Water in the City, We saw one the
other day which read F" Arctic Soda-Wa-
ter" another Zero Soda-Water an
still another which sbameessly asserted
that eve draw Or Soda Water at tenn

vender of this effervescent drink allows
his sense OF humor to effervesce also. and
so we are confronted by a sign which
reads Contracts taken to cool you off
for five cents.'' One man, whose shop
we pass every day, has devised new
name for his tipple, calling it 'Hyperbo-
rean Soda-Water.'' Of course we all

Forest Growing.

THOUSANDS of persons have more land
than they care to cultivate to ordinary
crops, and some of it often which is not
good for such crops, but would do well
for timber. Then why not do something
for posterity-and perhaps for themselves
toby planting it to forest trees? Iii
easy now to do this; the information
gained and impaired by such men as An
crew S. Fuller, Arthur Bryant, Sen, and
others, has made forest planting compare
lively an easy matter. Many farmers say
they are working mainly for their chill
dren, their desire being to leave the latter
something in the shape of property which
will be ''good for start" In such a
case why not plant forest? By ju-
diciOus selection OF varieties and careful
culture through the balance of farmer S
lite of about middle age, forest may be
established which will be worth many
thousands of dollars, twenty, thirty, or
forty years hence. There is too, in plant
ing forest, this marked advantage over
a natural forest-yOu can select the best
varieties, such as are reasonably certain

character Of the soil. How to start in
such all enterprise can easily be learned
from the authors mentioned abov, and
from other sources, and a little attempt
at tree-grOWing from seed or seedlings on a
small scale, in advance of starting planta
tons by the acre, would result in an amount
of practical experience which would be
Of great benefit. Cultivation of artificial
forests would not be necessary more than
few years, as the shading of the earth
by the trees would soon keep down the
growth of weeds ana grass, while the
leaves would constitute mulch, as in
natural forests.
The growing scarcity of timber for the
thousand purposes 20 which it is applied,
with little probability of any substitute
for it which can seriously lessen the de-
mand, renders it well nigh certain that
forests planted now and well started, will
be rich legacy to future generations, aud

Hints about Diet.

Most chronic diseases, and many acute
ones, are produced at the table. AS a
rule, no fluid of any kind should be taken
at the table, especially if the stomach is
weak. The stomach should never be
overloaded; not more than two or three
articles should be taken at one meal; no
stimulants used before eating. Tobacco
arrests digestion. Milk is the best diet
for infants and children. Tomatoes, with
cream and sugar, are healthy and nutri-
tious. Bread and butter is the staff Of life
and easily digested. Too much salt irri-
tates the stomach. Colds are frequently
produced by drinking hot tea and exr".-
ufe afterward. Late suppers induce heart
disease. Pastry and cake constipate the
bowels. Boiled potatoes are not so
healthy as baked ones. Fruits are to be
eaten at breakfast and dinner. The stom-
ach requires much rest to be healthy.
Purgative med cines weaken the bowels.
Cheerful conversation promotes diges-
ton, and anger prevents it.

WINNING GOLDEN OPN1oN=.-Perhaps
no man living has won more golden opin-
ions than DR.. Walker, as the enormous
and widely increasing sale of his CALIFoR-
MA VINEGAR BITTERs attests. Wenever
look into one of our exchanges, but there
is panegvric of the Bitters staring us in
the face. Our readers will say that there
must be reason for all this praise. They
are right. The efficacy of this celebrated
medicine is established by evidence which
it is impossible to doubt. Among the
thousands who have borne testimony to
its excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases Of inorganic
disease it seems to be unfailing. All dis
eases arising from vitiated state of the
blood are surely eradicated by it. 1t is
an effectua1 remedy for pulmonary COM
plants, bilious, remittent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. 1t
purges the body of all unhealthy humors,
gives tone to the system, and where the
vital powers are enfeebled, restores their
functions to vigorous and healthy action.
All this it does the more effectually be-
cause its operation is not inte fred with
bv the presence Of alcohol. The VINEGAR
B1TTERs is perfectly free from any such
hureful ingredient. We have always be-
lieved that plants contain the true rene
dies for disease, and all the remedies ne
cessary. DR.. Walker is on the line of real
progress, and we hope that he will not
rest on his present discoveries.

The view is bold, the object many
So you can rarely select any

Before another claims the prize.
There, whosoeyer, has mind
Easy the viewing place can flnd.
Instead of lotions and OF pills
Here invalids can cure their Ills.
For drugs and shops cannot compare
With deep pure draughts OF mountain ar.

Here you look down in natures lap,
And trace its outlines like map.
Beneath your feet the river glldes
Majestic flows anoni it hides,
In coils serpentine and flows out
Against the mountain, winds about
Meath forest deep, flows squire across
The Valley, until you're at loss,
To trace its course Then curves arounc
And meath your feet again Is found
This lovely sight your eyes Will charm,
For every bend contains farm
Or two. Its curving streams no less
Than five times form the letter 5.
At mountains base then disappears
In channels of Il thousand years.
But my descriptive powers are weak
OF natures charms cannot speak,
As should speak. Excuse me then
Nor look among the sons OF men
For brilllancy, or talents rare.

Flesh is too week it cannot be
I'm to myself mystery.

You promised me to do your best,
I'm with your effort satisfied
For this subject oft have tried,
And found it far beyond the ken
Or knowledge of poor mortal men,
Then view the country up and down
From the Round Hill clean up to town,
Then cast your eyes to Taylor Hill
Where Ashby did the yankees kill,
Take Buck-Hill too in visions range
Its hill and knobs and sights SO strange,
Then cast your eyes to Orkney Spring,
Where bands do play and ladies sing
And dance. and money spend, then say,
The viewing place is bound to pay.
All grasping minds, the city bred
Can see how farmers raise there bread
Labor and sweat and work and toll
To draw rich harvest from the soil.
