A Desperate Remedy.

The following little story from the
Cincinnati Gazette is well worth re-
producing: "a Hamilton man, who fell
a few years ago into dissolute habits,
and passed most of his time in loungin0
about bar-rooms, while his family suf-
fered for the necessaries of life, was
startled, not long ago, by the entrance
of his wife into a saloon on Basin street,
where he sat playing cards with party
of boon companions. The woman took
no notice of her husband, but boldly
walked up to the counter and called for
a glass of beer. Turning to the crowd,
she said, Come, gentlemen, have
drink with mel If beer is good for men
it certainly ought to be for wOmen,' and
though the crowd were little startled,
rs representative bUmmers none OF
them, except the husband, were unpre-
pared to accept the invitation. The
drink was disposed of, when the lady
ordered a second for the crowd, but
made n wry face as she struggled to get
through with it. Setting her half
emptied glass on the counter, she said,
Il don't believe / like beer; what else
have you got?' The woman who Off
ciated at the bar enumerated the varie-
ties. Il believe I'll try Tom and jerry
was the answer, and the crowd willingly
also, her husband, meanwhile, smiling
desperately, a sickly smile, with an
effort to show that he thought the affair
a good joke. Taking a seat, then, at
one of the dirty tables, she sat down and
said: Gentlemen, I've got some money
here which have no other use for, let's
play game of seven up, at two dollars
a game?' and somebody played with
and at the same time instructed her in
the game, and she lost, of course, but
manfully paid every time, and as often
treated the crowd as she lost. Finally,
as her utteranee became thick and her
head rolled to one side, and her conver-
sation grew maudlin, her husband was
able to stand it no longer. He arose
from his seat and induced her to accom-
pauy him home, and arm in arm they
started. Whatever of good the lesson
may continue to work, it has certainty
effected something toward his reelama-
tion, for he has not been seen IN any
] bar-room in Hamilton since"

of his promised explanation of the way
to her hearts desire was not so apparent.
But she did not. She leaned back on
the cushions, rs if there was nothing
more to be desired in life, and the fu-
ture not of the least consequence to her.
So unexpectedly are we called upon to
meet the events we should have taken
most pains to avoid, and so reckless do
they make us for the time, of all that
may come after-so quickly and cruelty

Read This If You Want TO.

II 10 an old idea Of economy on
the part OF some business men that
induces them to reduce their sdver-
Using when times are dull. 1t is
when business is slack and money
scarce that the dealer needs to sd-
dress his most potent eloquence to
customers, to show that he can make
it worth their while to deal with
him. In flush times the people are
apt to give much less thought to the
question where they shall purchase
their goods, but when the pinching
season comes, they begin to estimate
the value Of dimes and pennies. 1t
is then that the columns Of the news
papers are scanned to see who sells
cheapest or offers the best terms !;
and many a aourishing business
man can date the foundation of his
prosperity at the period of dull
times, when be had the nerye to
throw his bread upon the waters in
the shape of money literally spent
in advertising. A dealer would
show the same amount Of judgment
in taking down his sign in dull times
as in curtailing his advertising.

INFORMATION TO NEWSPAPERS
SUBSCRIBERS.

There are great many people
who do not understand their obliga
tons to newspapers. Numbers Of
them think they can take a paper
as long as they desire on a credit
and have ii discontinued at will and
without settling for it. In this they
are greatly mistaken. We give the
law upon the subject as follows:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice TO the contrary, are con-
sidered wishing to continue their
subscription.
If subscribers order the discontiu-
uance of their periodicals the pubs
fishers may continue TO send them
until all arrearages are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the Office
to which they are directed they are
held responsible until they have set
tied their bills, and ordered them dis.
continued.
IF subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers,
and the papers are cent to the former
direction, they are held Responsible.
The Courts have decided that
''refusing to take periodicals from
the Office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is prima facie evil
dence of intentional fraud"
Any person who receives q news
paper and makes use of it. whether
be has ordered it or not, is held ia
law to be subscriber.
IF subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice to the
publisher, at the end of their time,
If they do not wish to continue TAX
ing It; otherwise the publisher Is
authorized to send it on, and the
subscribers gill be responsible until
an express notice, with payment Of
all arrears, is sent to the publisher.
Subscribers should also remember
that in ordering the direction of their
paper changed from one post Office
to another, they should be very par.
ticular to state the name Of the pos
Office the paper is sent to as well al
the one they desire it changed to.

IA KISS.

Since the days Of Judas himself,
the kiss has been a powerful agent
in the annals Of the human race
There have been kisses like those of
Antony and Cleopatra, Of Henry
VIII, aud Anne Boleyn, which have
shaken an empire or destroyed re.

tory Of courts, we should probably
learn that nations have been erect
cd or erased by the magic touches
Of q woman's lips. A great prob.
lem, therefore, lies before us. Has
this discovery proved an affection or
blessing to mankindY Probably
the latter; for it has certainly in
creased the influence Of women, and
the influence Of a woman is employ
ed more for good than for i'll. Be-

With kiss you welcome the infant

with q kiss you alleviate the agony
Of death. And what, alas are the
kisses which men too often give you
in return 7 Jndas-kisses, treacher>
Gus and fatal, which poison innocent
hearts, and turn to curses on painted
and despairing lips. Happy are
they who can remember without
remorse the kisses Of their youth.

DYING LYING.

Mary Costigan was murdered in
Somers, Conn.,, last autumn. She
was found with her throat cut, but
she lived long enough to make q
sworn statement that her assailant
was Frank Powers, Q negro Of the
neighborhood. She told circum-
stantial story, and nobody doubted
the guilt of Powers, who was ct
once arrested. Subsequuent revela-
tions, however, showed that the real
murderer was her husband, and that
the wife died with perjury on her
lips to shield him from punishment
for his crime. His trial has just
