Luv is pashun that is easier felt than de-
skribed. 1t IL common to the yung, middle aged,
and even old fellows hav thought they he'd the
diseaze.
1t generally makes victims feel phoolish and
akt phoolish, too
Sumtimes it brakes out sudden, without eny
warning, and then agin it Gums on slo, like the
rumatisa.
hav known sum pashunts to be in luv for
six months and not know exactly what did all
them and | hay known other cases ware the
partys thought they was in luv, and nothing was
the matter ov them all the time only they was
out of hunor.
Sumthing to do allwus kures theze kind ov
attacks.
When a person really IL in luv they amt fit
for anything else.
1t units farmer and blacksmith for bizzi-
ness Just az much az it duz student at law or a
boarding-skool miss.
Genuine luv never fastens its fangs onto a
fello being but once, he often gets nipped by 1t
before and afterwards, but the fust skar sticks
to him for life.
Sum people fall in 1uy every ninety days Just
for the phun of the thing.
Real luv won't divide its possesshun ov the
heart with eny other of the pashuns it drives
out ambition, and takes the stiffening out of
pride and vanity
A man is never more pure than when he il
sensibly in luv.
Luv is a great humanizer 1t makes the rude
as gentle as a duv, and polishes up the rustik
like three months tuition at dancing school.
1t is hard work to be in luv and not akt phool-
ish but luv IL only the thing kno that makes
phools excusable.

The sawdust Brandy.

We are 30 rry to learn that a German chemist
has succeeded in making first rate brandy out
oil sawdust. We are friend of the temperance
movement, and we want it to succeed, but what
chance will it have when a man can take rip
saw and go out and get drunk with fence raj? 7?
man is able to make brandy smashes out of the
shingles on his roof, or if he can get delirium
Iemons by drinking the legs of his kitchen
chairs2 You may shut an inebriate out of a gin
shop, and keep him away from taverns, but if
he can become uproarioss on boiled sawdust
and dessioated window sis any effort at reform
must necessarily be failure. 1t will be wise,
therefore, if temperance societies will butcher
the German chemist before he goes any further.

FIRES LAST EVENING" STABLE AND TWO HORSES
BURNT-A COACH MANuFAcroRY ON FIRE.
For some time past this city has had an inn
munity from fires, and it was hoped would have
no more OF the incendiary's torch. This MORN
ing, however about o'clock, an alarm was
sounded aud it was found that the stable
of Henry Pretzohner, in the rear OF Cooling d
Lloyds carriage manufactory, was on fire.
The stable was occupied by Robert McGoni-
gal, baker at 4th and King Streets, and at the
time of the fire he had two valuable horses in it,
one OF which was burnt to death and the other
so badly that it s proposed to kill it to end it's
miseries. A quantity OF hay belonging to MIR.
NJ. was also consumed
For some time the stable of W. q ]. Laing, in
the rear of the burnt one, and the carriage manu-
factory of Cooling Lloyd were in great danger,
but owing to the calmness Of the morning and
the efficiency of the Fire Department the flames
were kept under control There is no doubt but
the fire was the work of an incendary, as on
several occasions paper was found to be stuffed
in the cracks of the stable, ready for the appli-
cation of the match. We have not obtained an
estimate OF the losses.
ANOTHER FIRE.
About o'clock this morning another alarm waf
sounded, when it was found that the wood shop
of the coach mandatory of Burton Il Kerbaugh,
at Front and Justison streets, was on fire.
The Weccacoe Hose Company, soon, however
put the fire out, without much damage being
DONE 1t was found that the fire originated
from a stove in the room, which burnt a hole
through the floor.
