THE OLD STOOL AT HOME.
BY HARRY L.

'Tis old now and worthless, and shattered by
age,
And marks of rough usage will freely presage,
But I'll treasure it still, as though it were gold,
FOR love near my heart, the dear treasure to
hold.
have sat by that treasure, in days gone by,
And the unbidden tear would start to my eye,
AS thought of the time when one so fair,
Used that dear stool instead of chair;
It was his companion, in childhood's hours,
When nought, then, troubled young hearts like
ours,
When nothing but sunshine, encircled our way,
A stranger, was sorrow, in those happy days.
But we cannot live GltOays, in youths sunny
hour,
For it fades like the dew, that feeds the fair
flower,
Which sparkles so brightly e'er away it is
borne;
So sparkles sweet pleasures, in lite's carly
morn.
But, I've covered 1t DER with moss from the
valley,
And around 1t at times we all love to rally,
But honest respect, our minds seem to rule,
For the one gone before us, who fashioned the
stool.
His life like all others, with cares was beset,
But his loving Redeemer, he'd never forget,
And know though his body sleeps meath the
sod,
That his spirit has gone to rest with his God.

Upon being told, he placed case before
her.
"Are they for yourselfs" he added,
glaneihg at her hand and then at the glove
she was examining. He was answered in
the Affirmative.
"You wear much larger glove than
that, observed the clerk.
You will allow me to judge for my

He made no answer, but turning to a
modest locking neatly dressed young woman
who stood near, partially waiting his lei
sure, he asked:
"What can show you to-day ?"
"Iwould like to examine some gloves"
she replied, in a gentle voice. The clerk
measured her hand.
You wiA need very small ones. These
aTe much too large" he rejoined, taking
another case from the shelf
While the last customer was making
selection, the young lady who had first
spoken was uncegemoniously tossing about
the nicely assorted gloves and looking very
ill-hEmored. Overhearing the last remark
of the clerk to the plainly dressed young
girl beside her, she threw down the gloves,
tossed her head, and after bestowing SUM-
dry contemptuous glances upon the two,
in no very graceful manner, left the store.
The young woman, after choosing gloves,
made a few other purchases and soon fol-
lowed the other.
While this scene was transpiring, gen.
tleman had entered, and taking paper
from the counter, placed himself in sit
uatiOn where his face was not visible. He
ostensibIy began to read, but in reality
was watching the movements and countc-
nances Of the two girls. When they had
gone, he bought some small articles, and

particularly those suffering from the effects Of
debilitating diseases. In order to keep ma
tural hea.thful activity of the system. we
must resort TO artificial means. For this pur-
pose Shenck's Sea Weed Tonic Is very efec-
tual. A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For
dyspepsia, il is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ
ent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids in fact il assists the regular
operations OF nature, and supplies her .defi-
ciences. The tonic in its nature 80 much re-
sembles the gastric juice that it is almost iden-
tcal with that fluid. The gastric juice is the
natural solvent which. in a healthy condition
of the body, causes the food to be digestedi
and when this juics is not excreted in sutfi-
cient quantities, INDIGESTION, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice
when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic sold by ali druggists.

Tbe small Boys Of s.. Joseph.

From the Chicago Times
The promenaders of ths fair sex, and
of course their escorts of the unfair sex,
are seriously annoyed at the shameless
conduct of the multitudinous small boy
of the town. He keeps several of his
heads floating in the water all the while,
and many of his naked bodies line the
shore. All his knees have strawberry
mark that has strained through his
trowsers, from strawberries which he has
"squashed" while humbly picking for
the market. He is especially frequent
in St. Joseph.
'Tis pitiful tale of the woes of
The elegant bellies and the beaux OF
The people who visit St. Joseph.
They blush like the rose at the rows of
White, stark naked bodies of those of
The shameless young lads of St. Joseph
Who battle where the clear water flows of
The beautiful River ST Joseph.
I'll be frank, and I'll not try to CLOSE of
An evil that steadily grows of
This wickekest one of the shows of
This sanity old town Of 81. Joseph.
These swimmers say they are the foes of
The morals and peace and repose of
The respectable town Of St Joseph.
They should wash themselves. off with
the hose of
A hydrant, or we will suppose of
A pump. mot as any one knows of,
Reply those bad boys Of St. Joseph.
And straightwsy each one of them
throws off
His strap, and strips all his clothes
off
And dives in the river St. Joseph
In spite of the "ah's" and the "oh's" Of
Right under the eyes and the nose of
The good folks who visit st. Joseph.
Those shameless young lads OF st. Jo.

ton of the plant which is visible above
the soil is bright, rosy crimson in
color, and presents the very strongest
contrast TO the dark green Of the pines
and the simmer Of the snow. Its root
is succulent, thick, and abundantly free
of moisture, attaching itself to the roots
Of other plants, principally to the spe.
cies of the pine family. Hence it is
among those curious members of the
vegetable world which are known to
botanists as parasites, and is, conse-
quently, entirely incapable Of cultiya.

it, and it is not an uncommon circum-
stance to find number Of the plants
uprooted and robbed of the heshy part
of their underground growth by these
animals. 1t belongs to the natural order

saying that his wife accompanied him
on his journeys. After they had resided
there three or four days, making them
selves very agreeable with the people in
the house, the fact was noticed that they
had not been seen for twenty-four hours,
and as the smell of burning charcoal
was escaping from their room, the land
lord had the door opened. The pair
were found lying on the bed dressed,
with only their boots off, and quite dead,
They had dragged the CRATE from its
place, and put it in the middle of the
room, and lighted FIRE in it. The wo-

NJ Benoist both married and Soth had
quilted their families to end their lives
in the manner described.
