A Husband Sold.

Some years since, when all the world wal
mad upon lotteries, the cock of q middle
aged single gentleman drew from bis hands
her earnings and savings Of some years
Her employer vas anxious to know the
cause, and she told him that, having dream
ed that certain number was great prize,
she bad bought the whole ticket. He
called her fUoi for her pains, and never
lost q chance 10 taese her on the subject.
She seemed TO take his taunts in good
humor, ssying i; would all turn out right
by and by. One morning he opened bis
paper at breakfas: and Jaw it announced
that the very numbers that Bridget had
dreamed and bought had drawn the great
prize Of . hundred thousand dollarsl
Bridget was summoned, and the willy gen.
tleman proceeded 10 inform her that he
had long valued her as q friend, and, being
desirous to settle himself for life, be
would be willing to make her his wife
if she had no digestion. Bridget had al
ways thought him dear, good man, and
would be glad to do anything to please him.
So he finished his breakfast; told Bridget
to put on her best things; the parson was
sent for, and made them one tina. very
morning. After it wassall over, the eau.
tious husband said to his bride, "Well,
Bridget, you have made two good hits to-
day; you have a good husband, and nov
bring me the lottery ticket you and me
have lsughed about 60 much, and let ID zee
what the number Ct it IT," Thus answered
Bridget, PLEASE don't laugh any more
about that; knew there was nothing in
hem dreams, and sold it to the butcher
! month ago"

He Never Read the Paper.

One of St. Charles (Mo.) en!erprising
citizens, who holds that the pres is an en-
CINE of his sulphuric majesty, and Who, for
fear of being held responsible fox those
satanic revelations, always ADVERTISE with
4 written ''notie," etuck on barn doors in the
back alleys, where he who runs may read,
was yesterday brought forward several thou
sand Year, with such velocity that the CEN
trifugal whirl brushed all the cobwebs from
his brain. He never read the papers, but
he does COW, and it happened in this way.
About twenty years ego he entered two
sections of land in adjoining counties 10 H.
linois, only few miles distant from the
river. He has been paying taxes on 1t ever
since, and for the past Eve yean has been
very desirous of selling. but eoncealing the
desire from the public by avoiding the nevs-
papers, never found Q purchaser until few
days ago. He came along in the person Ct
a verdantt?) importation from the prts.-rid-
den East. He was ''considerin' q notion to
settle down to farmin'; but as land was too
high about st. Charles, he guessed he'd 60
up to IOv,, where he'd heard good farming
land could be bought for S. per acre"
tuniiy. and made ready to take this stranger
in. He told him Of his two tracts in Iili-
nois, gave his price and numbers, and our
would.be settler started to see it. He came
back in day or two, and said be liked one
piece pretty we'll, but the other was too far
away from the settlement He would give
81 sn acre for the ems or s. for the other;
but be wanted the most desirable piece. Our
citizen calculated he would kesr this piece,
but he would let the other 60 fer S. an scre
cash. The stranger, after some higSlirH,
agreed to take it, got his deed, and went on
his wsy. Our citizen locked DIP his currency
in an old stocking-for be Wss sfraid Of
banks-and chuck.ed to think how ke had
sold his wild land, got q pretty good inter-
est on It's cost, and no thanks to any real es-
tate agency or newspaper advertisement.
He would not fec newspaper or read one.
1t was worse than money throxn away. In
day or two he thought he would write to
the recorder over there and see what the re-
naming piece was worth. He did 40, and
also gave description of the piece he had
cold. The answer came-the piece remain
ing was worth about "a an acre. The piece
on the Tamaroa railroad. The railroad ran
through a corner of it. 1t wasn't very good
farming land-there was too much coal in
it-and party of eastern men were there
preparing to sink a shaft. The recorder
thought it was worth at least $4,000, and
if thes. miners we're going on without auth
ority he had better look into il, adding q
postscript that his deed to one Of the tracts
had jus! been brought in for reoorj.-Hus.

The Chicago Tribune ssys:

"Lovers and patrons Of true art in ihi,
country will not be encouraged by the re.
port this morning that Miss Winnie Raam is
likely to secure Q commission fer the M.
tioual etatue Of Farragut. Mrs Ream has
neither the education nor TIE genius Of a
sculptor. She is an active woman OF the
world, friend of politicians and ladies Of
influence These are her chief recommen.
dations to public. favor. We have just as
little confidence in the judgment of the Com.
miitee which IL to make the award IS We
have in Miss Ream's ability to Go the theme
justice. Neither Secretary Robson nor
Gen. Sherman has great reputation among
artists, however justly they may be esteemed
q men of aflirs."

Pure Girls, Impure Boys.

Girls, in treating dissipated young men a
equals, do wrong that they can scarcely
realize. Such men should be mad Z
to feel that until they redeem
recines and honor in the path of right,
good people will aand aloof from them.
Girl Who respect themselves will not Be
seen With such Young men and will decline
to receive them on the familiar. footing Of
friendship. It is . mistaken kindness to
poultics when caustic u needed, and l am

on the part Of the young girls Of to-day
would 90 far TO correct the general lsoeeness
Of morality among young Womon's
