John Quincy Smiths True Love.


Monday afternoon a young mannamed
John Quincy Smith, who works in a
carriage factory, called upon Justice
Potter and asked his honor to appear
at q certain house on Mac0mb street at
a certain hour that evening and weld
two fond hearts together. "Ihe court
said he'd be on time, and he was, but
he found the lover looking disconsolate
and the brides mother flushed and an
noyed.
"Isn't this the place where was to
come and unite two sympathetic souls?"
inquired Mr.. Potter in an anxious voice,
thinking he might have made mistak0 Q.
You see, I'll tell you how it is, +"
explained the old lady. ''Betsy James
young and foolish, and she's afraid some
one will make fun of her if she gifts
married."
His honor thought it was rather
strange, and went off feeling about as
blue as the lover felt. Wednesday
morning John Quincy entered Justice
alley again to tell MIR. Potter that he
could come up to the house that even
ing, and that there wouldn't be any
backing out again.
cts dead sure, is it ?" asked his
honor.
"You can bet on it, replied John
Quincy" bet hundred to one"
His honor was on hand again at the
appointed hour, and he found the lover
and the mother looking about as sad as
before. The girl herself was concealed
behind the door, and as soon as Potter
entered the mother pulled the door
back so as to expose the hider and ex-
claimed:
Now, then, judge, look at her-look
at the big BOBBY, aud see what fool
she is making of herselfP'
The girl made a skip and jumped
under the centre table, and from thence
shouted back
" hain't any more Of a fool than you
are, and You know it %
"Then why don't you come out and
git married ?" asked the parent.
"Do you s'pose want to be made
fun of I" squeaked the daughter.
After awhile the justice put in his
voice, telling the girl that it was the lot
of woman to marry; that she'd live a
happy life, aud that it wouldn't take
two minutes to tie the knot.
Come, Betsy jane =" called the
mother.
Come, my own Lowell" pleaded John
Quincy.
"Come, my dear girl p added the
justice, raising the able-spread and ex-
tending his hand.
"Oh, go away !" she sobbed, hands
over her face, go away and leave me
here to die | can't bear to think of
| gittin' jined and leavin' mother %
Tley coaxed and pleaded and scold-
ed, but Betsy Jane was firm, and she
was still resting under the table when
his honor left. John Quincy put on his
hat and walked down the stree piece,
and when Potter remarked that be

Why Farmers are so Poor.

It is believed that seven-tenths of the
planters and farmers of this country,
north and south alike, .are staggering
to their fall under q load of debt and
mortgage. What is the matter AS q
class, farmers are not lazy. They are
seldom idle. They work as hard as any
body ought to work. They make, tax
ing one year with another, wha. NAV be
considered, under the present standard
of agriculture, fair crops, and they get,
as rule, good prices for their surplus
products they put into the market; still
they don't get rich-in fact, are getting
poorer and poorer every year. Why is
it so To say nothing of faulty system
of crOpping-a1 cotton, all wheat, all
something else or of creoit, liens and
interest, the reason which we had in
mind with which TO point this paragraph
is, that it costs too much to make our
crops. We grow poor, not so much be-
cause our incomes are so small, as be-
cause our outgOes are so large. There
is no strict method in our operations
and close economy of means. The ex-
pense OF making a crop has not been
reduced to a minimum. We fence in
too large field and travel over too
many acres to produce ten bales of cot
ton or hundred bushels of corn. We
pay out too much for labor and for fer
tilizers for the result produced. The
remedy must be sought IN sounder
methods, labor saving implements and
better trained labor and less of it.

catch the car by running after It back

self on one foot, and tried to throw his
hat over the post-office, while he hop
ped wildly down the grace. Then he
put both his feet upon a level with the
top Of the departing car, broke his
cane and pounded the firm, hard boul-
deTs with his head and eye glasses, and
then he tried TO slide down the grade
on his shoulder blades, with only par.
tial success, and finally caught hold of
the track with his teeth and hands. TO
keep himself from Aying to pieces. The

That Little Girl.

The iovial captain of one of the
steamships now In port tells a good
story relative to the HAY and December
marriages so common In Brazil. A
Brazilian gentleman, apparently over
fifty years of age, was q passenger on
the vessel. He was accompanied by
two giIls, one about fifteen and another
younger. The gentleman was sea-
sick in the cabin and the girls were on
deck, Whereupon the captain tried to
amuse them, took them on his knees
and told them stories, while he enjoyed
their prattle and pretty smiles. In the
midst of this pleasant occupation the
gentleman came on deck. With fierce
expression of face he gszed upon the
scene for a moment, and then inquired
in harsh. husky voice, " You, sir, are
you married ?" eyes, I have a dauRh-
ter older than your little girl here,
said the captain. "She reminds me
very much Of mine. Here he patted
the pretty cheek That little girl,
sir, exclaimed the indignant Brazilian
with great emphasis, THAT little girl is
my wife, sir. The captain collapsed.

4 PRovDENTIAL MAN. This title
now Justly belongs to physician who
has added TO the list Of medicines q new
remedy, which appears to include all
that is most valuable In the old pharma-
copoeia, and not to include any Of the
drawbacks with which so-called specifics
of the faculty are chargeable. The
providential man is Dr.. Joseph Walker,
Of California, whose Vinegar Bitters
have achieved, in the short space OF two
years, 6 degree of popularity never be-
fore attained by any advertised prepare
ton in this country. We have too
much confidence in the shrewdness OF
the American people to suppose that
this sudden and surprising celebrity is
the outgrowth of q deIusion. Indeed,
we have reason to know that it is found
ed on innumerable and well authenti-
Gated cures of almost all the bodily Ills
that flesh Is heir to. Not to the least
among the merits of the famous Tonic
and Restorative, Is its entire freedom
from alcohol, as well as from all mineral
drugs. It is composed exclusively Of
rare vegetable extracts.
