A correspondent of the Jackson,
Mississippi, Neaos tells how Gen. Jack
son got his title OF Old Hickory. lie
says he got the story from Captain
William Allen, a near neighbor Of the
General, and who messed with him
during the Creek war. During the
campaign the soldiers were moving
rapidly to surprise the Indians, and
were without tents. A cold March
rain came on, mingled with sleet, which
lasted for several days. Gen. Jackson
got u severe cold, but did not COM
plain, as he tried to sleep in muddy
bottom, among his half frozen soldiers
Captain Allen and brother John cut
down stout hickory tree, peeled oft
the bark, and made a covering for the
General. who was with difficulty per-
suaded to crawl into it. The next
morning a drunken citizen entered the
camp, and seeing the tent kicked it
over. As Jackson crawled from the
ruins the topper cried, Hello, Old Hick.
DRY! come out ofyour bark and jinc us
in a drink.

GRANTS THIRD TERM.-The coun-
try has been helped to Presidential in
ferences by Mr.. Morton, at Tcrre
Haute, and now we have the opinion
of a shrewder as well as more honest
political seer, the Hon. Henry Wilson,
who has on several different occasions
responded positively and unreservedly
to the questionings and cross-examin,
alton of anxious interviewers. He
frankly stated to a newspaper man
connected with the indianapolis Jour
nal that he did not know whether the
President aspired to third term or
not, but if he did, he would certainly
find that the American people would
elect no man to that Office third
time, no matter how meritorious his
services or record. AT New York he
reiterated, substantially, these views,
and promised his vote against Gen.
Grant should the latter attempt to ex.
tend his lease of power beyond the
limit set by custom.

GONE HOME THE BEANS ARE BUR-
MING" Last Sunday morning a fami-
ly livingiu the suburbs of the city
went to suburban church, leaving a
little girl about seven yers Of age and
boy about twelve years Of age in
charge Of the house. The church was
situated but short distance from the
house. The family were to have beans
for dinner, and these were left IN a
vessel on the stove to cook. The lit
tie girl while playing, suddenly began
to smell the odor of burnt beans, up
on which she rushed out of the house
over into the church where the pastor,
was gravely and earnestly preaching
the profound word of God. The first
person of the family the little girl es-
pied was young lady cousin, and to
her in loud voice which startled the
assemblage considerably she cried,
"Come home, come home, the beans
are burning" and Immediately rush
ed out again. The astonishment was
great, and all the solemnity of the
preacher as well as of the congrega-
ton disappeared beneath broad
smile at the righteousness of the mat
ter.

Judge Ballard, of the United
States Circuit Court in Louisville, has
decided an interesting case, involving
the liability of express companies for
money lost in transitu. The Adams
Express Company had intrusted to it
a package of money, S13,52s, at New
Orleans, for delivery to the Bank Of
Kentucky. The car in which the ex-
press messenger was riding fell
through trestework, and, together
with the package, was destroyed by
fire. The bank demanded the money,
which the company refused to pay, it
being stipulated on the contract that
the latter should not be responsible
for loss or damage occasioned by fire.
The bank commended that the company
was liable as common carrier in
spite Of this stipulation. The Court
decided for the defendant, on the
ground that while common carrier
is liable for neglect on the part Of
himself or his agents, he is not liable
for the neglect of Others, and cannot
be held responsible for accidents on
roads over which he has no control.

/ Wonder why.

l wonder why this worlds good things
Should fall in such unequal shares;
Why some should taste of all the joys,
And others only feel the cares?
I wonder why the sunshine bright
Should fall in paths some people tread,
While others shivering in the shade
OF clouds that gather overhead /?
wonder why the trees that hang
So full of luscious fruit, should grow
Only where some may reach and eat,
While others faint aud thirsty go.
Why should sweet flowers bloom for some,
For others only thorns be found
And some grow rich from fruitful earth,
While others till but barren ground !?
l wonder why the hearts Of some
O'erfow with joy and happiness,
While others 60 their lonely way
Unblessed with aught Of tenderness.
wonder why the eyes of some
Should meier be moisted with q tear
While others weep from morn till night,
Their hearts all crushed with sorrow here.
All we'll we may not know, indeed,
The why's, the whereforcs of each life
But this we know-there's Ono who sees
And watches lis through joy and strife.
Each life its mission here fu6ls,
And only He may know the end;
And loving Him we can be strong
Though storms or sunshine He may send.

I'VE
And Our
NEICHBORS"
is the latest and raciest work by

Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Author of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
"The Minister'S Wooing," "My Wife and l."
and other powerful stories, each the literary
sensation of its period and this story rr'm
Uses like genuine and wholesome sensation.
1t bears directly on social topics of interest
embracing the ramance of youthful compan-
ionships, the brightness of happy home-iife,
the spicy complications of neighborhood as
socistionns, and such follies and profound
domestic miseries as have led to the wide
spread Temperance movement Of the day.
Mrs. STOWE is now in the prime Of that
genius which wrote "Uncle Tom," ripened
by years OF study and observation. Her
novels are immensely popular, "Uncle Toms
Cabin" alone out-selling by hundreds of thou
sands auy edition of any original work ever
published saue The Bible. Her book two years
ago, "My Wife and l." outsold every con-
temporary. Such pure and ennnbling story,
as We and Our Neighbors' should be read
in every home. This new Serial is now run

FLmGNG SuADows.-We have no
more right to fling an unnecessary
shadow over the spirit Of those with
whom we have to do, than we have to
fling q stone and injure them Yet
this hinging shadows is a very COM
mon sin, and one to which women are
particularly addicted. O, what a bless
ing is a merry, cheerful woman in a
household! o, whose spirits are not
affected by wet days, or little disap-
poiutmcnts, or whose milk Of human
kindness does not sour in the sunshine
Of prosperity. Such a woman in the
darkest hours brightens the house like
a little piece of sunshiny weather. The
magnetism of her looks and move
ments infect every one. The children
90 to school with sense Of something
great to be achieved; her husband
goes into the world in Il conqueror's
spirit. No matter how people worry
and annoy him all day, far off her
presence shines, and he whispers to
himself, cat home l shall find rest"
SO day by day she literally renews his
strength and energy, and you know a
man with a beaming face, a kind heart
and prosperous business, in nine
cases out Of ten you will find he has a
wife of this kind. For nothing is more
certain than that the man who is mar
ried must ask his wife permission to
be happy end wealthy. Blessed is he
who hath cheerful wife the world
may be a ''valley of strife" to him, but
bis home is land of Beulah, heaven
of rest and quiet; and his life is made
up of cheerful yesterdays and confident
to-morrows.

why She Didn't Want to Leave.

A good story is told at the expense
Of a somewhat inexperienced house
keeper in Portsmouth, who found her.
self one morning without servant to
cook OF wash. A few hours trial con-
WINGED her that she must have help,
and she started out in search of girl.
After calling at several places without
success, she was passing one Of the
best residences in the city and observ-
ed a tidy looking woman clearing up
the yard. Hating, she inquired of
the woman whether she knew of u girl
that could be hired. The answer was
in the negative. The lady had by
this time become desperate and re-
solved to try and hire the woman be-
fore her, although she knew it was
wrong to covet her neighbours servant.
In a low tone of voice she began to
relate her troubles, and wound up by
urging the woman to leave Mrs. --
and come with her, offering her dol
lar more q weeI; than she was receiv-
ing, The woman answered that she
liked her place and could not be in
duced to give it up. And she added,
"Besides, | generally sleep with Mr..
-, and ! don't think he would allow
me to go" The lady departed utterly
astonished at what she had heard. Her
feelings may be imagined when she
afterwards learned that she had been
talking with the mistress of the man
sion and the wife of an esteemed citi-
zen.

Gov Moses Of South Carolina in
his recent speech at Sumpter devoted
a large portion of his remarks to an
exposition of the rascalities practised
by his predecessor in Office, Gen,
Scott, and his confederates in public
robbery. This has excited some SUI
prise, as they are of the same political
faith as Moses, who worked harmoni-
Jusly with them while the Scott ad-
ministration was in power. His OBJ
ject, however, is easily understood.
One of the principal personages in the
Scott gang law was d. II. Chamber
lain, Attorney. General, who was i'm
plicated in nearly all the financial OPP
erations which first gave to the car
pet-bag politicians of South Carolina
the pecu liar reputation which they
possess. Now Chamberlain is the
most conspicuous of the candidates
who hope to succeed Moses, and it is
strongly suspected that President
Grants preference of indignation
about the dishonesty Of the present
governor is all put on for the purpose
helping Chamberlain. Such being
the case, Moses took the first oppor-
tmity that offered to flank both
Grant and Chamberlain, and he did it
very neatly.

While some men were grinding
scythes beneath twoimmense chestnut
trees in Orange, Conn, during a re-
cent thunderstorm, lightning struck
the trees, shivered them into many
pieces, darted against the grindstone,
which one man was turning and upon
which another man was holding a
scythe, snatched the implement from
his hands and hurled it into the air
with a noise resembling that of buzz
saw, landing it some fifty feet away.
The men were rather startled by the
incident, but were not hurt.

use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-
est, surest, and best Of all the Pilis with which
the market abounds. BY their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the cOrruptions of the sys
tenn expelled, distractions removed and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogGed
and sluggish are clGanscd by 1Ycr's PHts. and
stimulated into action. Thus incipicnt disease
Is changed into health, the value Of which change,
when reckoncd on the vast multtudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unmpaircd for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Il Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
PiNs rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Aistipss.

For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick H2cait-
ache, JaunhiCe or Green sickness, hSil.
iOus Collie and Bilious Feycrs, they should
be judiciousy taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it,
For Dysentery or reiarrllOe,, but one

For Esheun,atisn,. G0ut, Gravel. Pal.
p.tatiOn OF the hHcart, Pain in the

uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system, With such change those
complaints Disappear
For EbrOpsy and IsrOE,sicul Sweilings,
they should be- taken in large and frequent doses
TO produce the effect Of n drastic purge.
For Suppression, n large dose should be
taken, rs it produces the desired effect by sym

AS q Dinner PHI. take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
