George Washington.

One day, in fit OF abstraction the
juvenile George cut down Bushrod's
favorite cherry tree with hatchet. His
purpose was to cut-and run.
But the old gentleman came sailing
round the corner of the barn just as the
future Father of his Country had start
ed the retreat.
''Look here Sonny" Numbered the
stern old Virginian, "Who cut that tree
down?'
George reflected moment. There
wasn't another boy or another hatcher
within fifteen miles. Besides it occurred
to him that to be virtuous is to be hap
py. just as Washington ST., turned tc
90 in and get his horse-whip, our little
hero burstin into tears, and nestling among
his fathers coat tails, exclaimed, "Fa-
ther cannot tell lie. 1t must have
been a frost" -f 1 .....er
"My son, my son." stammered the
fond parent as he made pass for hi'
offspring s'when you get to be first IN
war and the first in peace, just cove

Don't Do It.

There are great many things that
one does not want to do. And there Is
an editor out in Logansport, Ind, who
is in the habit of mentioning some OF
them occasionally. The last bulletin is
hereunto appended in the belief that all
our readers who give heed thereunto
will thereby become wiser:
Don't eat sour grapes. They injure
the teeth. .-r.
Don't split wood under a clothes line.
You might cut the rope.
Don't crack jokes with a sexton. He
prefers grave conversation. .s... ..
Don't trust politician. He will 60
into bankruptcy after election is over.
Don't borrow trouble. Be patient
and it will come to you in course Of
events. --r-..... .---..t ID. s.r.
Don't lie about your competitor in
business. Better lie around your own
establishment. lu.a e .lea aLf
Don't fool with nitro-glycerine, OF
trifie with an angry woman. Either
one will blow you up. - 7h
Don't grieve over lost opportunities.
1t is not proper for man to attend his
own funeral. t'
Don't growl because your baggage is
smashed. Thank your stars that it was
not your head.
Don't fool away your time in trying
to reform the world. Be content with
keeping your own garments unspotted.
Don't clothe your little vices in the
garb of innocence. The garment will
prove too thin to shield you from the
chilling blasts of scorn. ....-..t

The Retired Conductor.

''Gris" of the Cincinnati Times
relates of an old conductor promo
ted to train dispatcher, as follows:
Habit was exceedingly strong with
the ex-conductor. As he sat in the
Office he would start every time he
heard a bell ring and yell, "All
aboard" Then he would go about
the office at intervals and try to col
lect fairs from his assistants. We
dropped in casually, one afternoon,
and Billy wanted to know if we had
a "pass." He couldn't get accus-
toned to his new position at all. He
pined to be agoing on theroad. One
day he begged the boys to put him
through a collision which they did
to his entire qualification. They
tore his clothes of, f,blacked his eyes,
broke a kerosene lamp over his head,
and piled a red hot stove on top OF
him. Billy was in an ecstacy Of de
light, and declared that he hadn' t
enjoyed himself so much since he
had q bile, ~

A GRATEFUL HORSE.

A curious incident occurred in
Messrs. Williams & Cassidy's coal
yard, at the Covington depot, few
days ago. An old black horse had
Just been driven into the yard hitch
ed to a watering cart. The belly
band, an antiquated concern, gave
way in an attempt to back the cart
to its place. The water being heav-
ier than the horse, the consequence
was that as the cart dropped and the
shafts rose, the horse went with
them, hanging by his neck, his hind
feet two or three feet from the ground
The animal struggled and kicked in
terror, evincing as decided a disin
clination to die by hanging as hu-
man being would have done in q
similar situation. His eye balls be-
came extended in the excess of his
fear, and froth stood upon his lips
He was rescued from his dangerous
situation after much trouble. When
he touched the ground, the poor
beast stood for moment apparently
bewildered, carried away perhaps by
the excess of his emotions at his for,
tunate release. Recovering himself
however, he looked round upon his
rescuers, and approaching them and
quietly rubbed his nose against the
shoulder of one of them. He wa:
given a bucket of water, after which
be drew a deep breath and allowed
himself to be led to his stall.-Lee'
iagton Press.

aSomebody- Must Be In. "

Here is little story which tells bet
ter than dictionary can, the meaning
of "disinterestedness;" @
The late Archdeacon Hare was once,
when tutor of Trinity College, Cam
bridge, giving a lecture, when cry of
"Fire" was raised. Away rushed his
pupils, and forming themselves into a
line between the building-which was
close at hand-and. the river, passed
buckets from one to another. The tu-
tor quickly following, found them thus
engaged; at the end of the line one
youth was standing up to his waist in
the river; he was delicate and looked
consumptive. vG f.rr-...r z5a
"What," cried Mr.. Hare, "you in the
water, Sterling? you, so liable to take
cold?n -ri. ~ a5 moi lea.c
Somebody must be in it," the youth
answered; "why not 1, as well as an
others" @ - pi
The spirit of this answer is that of
all great and generous doings. Cow
ardice, and coldness, too, say, "Oh,
somebody will do it," and the speaker
sits still; he is not the one to do what
needs doing. But nobility of character,
looking at necessary things, says
Somebody must do it; why not II"
And the deed Is done.

Sharp Shooting.

"Father, what does printer live
onr'
alive on?-the same as other folks
of course. Why do you ask, John
ny?
Because you hadn't paid any
thing for your paper, and the prin-
ter still sends it to you"
"Wife, spank that boy"
81 shan't do it."
"Why notT
because there is no reason to do
so."
"No reason? Yes there is. Spank
him l tell you and put him to bed.'
"I shan't do any such thing. What
in the world do you want him spank
ed for?" 7''
"He is too smart"
"Well, that comes of yeu marry
ing me-"
"What do you mean?"
81 mean just this that the boy is
smarter than his father, and you
can't deny it. He knows enough to
see that a man, printer or no prin-
ter can't live on nothing; and
should think you would be asham-
ed of yourself not to know as much
as he does.

A Panic Prescription.

L. Keep cool yourself.
2. Try to keep others cool. i'-
3. Be economical in your expendi-
lures without being close. 3.'3
A. Be generous in employing 9th
ers without being extravagant.
5. Remember that the more ac-
lively money ci:culates the better;
therefore,do not hoard up your cur
rency. te 81 sr
6. Pay your just dues promptly.
A block in the avenues of business
is just like block of vehicles in the
street. Start one and you start the
others. ~ fi H-t+
Z. Be accommodating to your debt
ors. Grasp no man by the throat,
saying, "Pay me what thou Owest;"
but give him time to turn, doing to
others as you would be done by.
' s. Abandon the credit system as
far as you can, or stick to the cash
system if you are following it al
ready. Buy of your butcher,grocer
dry good dealer, for cash, as far as
in you lies, and buy nothing on
credit that is not an absolute neces-
sity. 1i.t -s.H.I a-. .--ar.

Mistaken Identity.

3 A very remarkable case Of mistaken
identity recently occurred in London,
A few weeks ago an old man sat down
in the doorstep of coffee shop and
suddenly died. Some of the passers by
recognized him as man who had been
in the employment of the gas company,
and nine or ten of the men in that SER
vice identified the body as that of their
fellow-workman. A deputation Of their
number was appointed to wait on his
wife, who, after listening to them for
a short time, told them her husband
was up stairs in bed. This turned out
to be the fact. The body was removed
to the workhouse mortuary, where il
was identified by about fourteen of the
officers as that of a pauper who had
been in the workhouse from twelve to
fifteen months and intelligence of the
death was sent to his daughters in Man
chester. One of the sons-in-law came
up and identified the body as that OF
his father-in-law, and expressed deep
sorrow at the death. An inquest was
held, at which the daughters attended
and swore that the deceased was their
father, and, after cutting off lock Of
his hair, directed an undertaken to con-
duct the funeral, at which they atten-
ded as mourners. On their return home
they related the circumstances con-
necte5 with the death to some friends
in Devonshire, who replied in the course
of a fortnight that the old man was
living there and in good health. The
son-in-law wrote to the undertaker's
saying he did not wish to incur ex-
pense in burying stranger. The clerk
suggested that reply should be sent
expressing regret at the mistake, and
hoping that it would not occur again.
Some of the officers still refused to be.
lieve that the old man was alive, and
one of them was in correspondence
with him to prove that he was mis-
taken.
