1t is astonishing that men who
have good sense about trading and
making money, manifest such ut
ter want of judgment in the MAJ
ter of advertising. For instance:
A has land, stock, grain, furni.
ture, &C., for sale. He writes a
few notices and sticks them up,
saying he will offer for sale on
certain day. Ten to one the or
biography and wording of the ad-
vertisement is eXecrable, and
many can not read it who could
read a printed hand bill. Besides,
many will not stop to read what
is written as readily as they would
stop to read what is printed
But, suppose the advertisement
were to be published in the coun-
ty newspaper. 1t would cost a
few dollars, of course, to do this,
but 1t would be read forthwith by
the public at largely monied
and trading men, for as a general
rule, these are the men who take
the newspapers. And if the adver-
tisement IN the paper should only
cause one man more to attend the
sale, this man might bid on vari-
Gus articles, and whether they be
"knocked down" to him or not,
his bid causes them to bring in
the aggregate a great deal more
than the publisher would get
for advertising. Verify, it is
strange that men should allow a
nickle to shut out the size of
dollar. They hold the nickel too
close to their eyes.

THE FAIRY SHELL.

THE FAIRY SHELL.
One day when wandering on the shore
That once was ruled by Marinell,
found within cefted rock
A strangely twisted, curious she'll
With spiral whorls of pearly white,
And hollOws tin5ed with roseate light.
This shell possessed a wondrous power,
For, placed against the listeners ear,
He heard, though gentle, faint and low.
The tones of those he held most dear;
Though parted far by land or wave,
The faithful she'll an echo gave.
'Oh. happy gift to man." said I;
More precious than the painters art;
How oft shall thou in distant climes,
Console the ever faithful heart,
Bring back the cherished voice again,
And take from absence half its pain
"Yain are thy thoughts . nymph replied;
For those who own it will lament
That never, through its echoes faint,
Can tidingS from the loved be sent;
The distant sound is only caught,
Bat n;YerWord or message brought.
Twill only waken yoarnings vain;
Twill only pierce the heart anew
And bring to mind, with tenfold pain,
The anguish OF the last adieu.
When all is LOST beyond recall,
lis better far veil should fall
She ceased, turned and threw the she'll
Beneath the tossing, foaming tide;
Too well can memory waken grief,
That man should seek for aught beside.
Love needs it not, for love can last
When all the things of time are past.

she softly came upon him. "Gc
back" he whispered-'I am com
ing in moment"
With swift motion she seized
the weapon, wrenched it from bis
grasp, and as she came down the
cabin to the table at which the
gambler sat, and around which
half dozen men yet fingered, hel
blue eyes were full of fire.
The gambler looHed up.
The hammer Of the revolver
came up with a double click.
A white hand stretched cut.
and the muzzle of the revolver
looked straight into the gambler S
face.
He turned pale; the men fell
back.
For half minute the deep ST.
lence was broken only by the
faint splash of the paddle wheels.
Col she said.
He, looked into her flaming eyes
as if he could bluff her.
"Go!"
He rose up and reached for the
money.
Leave it" she whispered, max,
ing threatening motion with the
revolver.
He retreated back.
She followed.
Foot by foot he backed across
the cabin, the muzz'e of the re-
voIver always on line with his
face. He backed through the
door on the promenade deck and
the railing was there.
'Junp!' she whispered.
The boat was running along
within three hundred feet of the
shore. Over the rail to the wa
ter was a terribl. leap.
You can have the money! he
said,
Jump she repeated,
81 will not!'
The arm came up little, and
the light from the cabin showed
him a bold, strange, determined
look on her face. He turned a.
bout, shivered, and was over the
rail, leaping far out and unable to
suppress a cry of alarm, as he felt
himself going down.
The boat swept along, her arm
fell, and, re-entering the cabin,
she sat down, leaned her head on
the table and wept bitterly.
The passengers said she was a
"brick." p"
Was she?

1t is admitted that there is
not near enough gold in the u
nited States to give Us an ex-
elusive metal currency. But
the gold-resumption advocates
tell us that there is enough for a
gold basis. BY basis they mean
promises to pay in specie from
banks and corporations. How
can there be a basis which is no
basis? IF there is not gold e.
nough to meet the wants of the
people as a currency, how can
any basis it represents then be
enough? Is the created gr.ater
than the creator? Can there be
a large pyramid erected upon a
small base?

Apartment-A Case where a
Scream Might have Cost a Life.
From the New York Sun.
About four o'clock yesterday
morning a burglar entered the
residence of Mr.. William 7 Dung,
at $50 Dean street, Brooklyn,
through the front window, and
made his way to the middle par
lor in which Mr.and Mrs. Young
were sleeping. He had Oh a
slouch hat, which was drawn over
his eyes, and lie carried in his
hand ~omething that resemJled
policeman's club, but which may
have been O revolver. lie step
ped softly into the be droom,
crouched low as he passed the bed
and made his way to the side on
which Mrs. Young had been suf-
fering from a sprained limb, and
was wakeful. She b ID seen the
burglar enter the room, and
eyed him as he approached her.
She tried to arose her husband
by pinching him, but he did not
awake. The burglar slipped to
the bed, held the club or pistol
over Mrs. Young's head, put his
hand under her pillow, and took
out her gold watch and the gold |
cross which was attached to it
by silk cord. The cross clicked |
against the watch, and Mrs. |
Young stirred and made slight
movement as though she cxpcc- |
ted to clutch the robhcr, who c
face was so close TO her that she |
could detect the fumes Of to-
bacco on his breath. The thief |
quickly took out a handkerchief |
that smcllcd strongly Of chloro-
form, and rs Mrs. Young quiet
ed down he put it up. Then
he went to the other side Of the
bed and tried to get Mr.. Young's
gold W Natch from under his piI-
low. He could not reach it and |
snatching up Mr.. Young's pam
falcons he went out as he had
entered. Mrs. Young by vigor-
Gus pinching, at length aroused
her husband and told him that
robber was in the house. He
jumped to the floor and ran to
the front of the house to the
balcony. He cried "Thief!" no
one was in sight and he started
back to sec what had been sto-
len. He found his pantaIoons
On the balcony under his feet.
His pocketbook containing $50
was gone, but the thief had left
500 which was in the watch
pocket. In his haste to get a.
way the burglar also left Mrs.
Young's watch and cross OH the
chair by the window, where he
lad laid them to rifle the panta-
oon's pockets. Mrs. Young
vas awake all the time, but
cared that if she spoke the man
would shoot her husband or her
self, and she coolly determined

Novel Cure for Love.

y new and amusing cure for

thy nobIeman became enamored
OF his fathers concierge, (door
porter, and determined to mar
~ her. The aristocratic papa
opposed, but moved at last by
the despair of his son, gave his
consent with the proviso that
the smitten youth go to sea
for twelve months before the
marriage. Shortly after his de-
parture, the father,who had pre-
viously noticed an embonpoint
in the young intended, took her
under his especial charge. gave
her the most nourishing and sue
ouIcnt food and wines, forbade
her to take exercise as unbe-
coming III his future daughter,
and in fact, stall-fed her to such
an extent that when the engaged
swain returned from his years
voyage, he was mortified to find
instead Of the slender, elegant
girl he had left, an immensely
fat woman, as big as two Abb
ons rolled into one. OF course
the rusc was successful, and the
victim of good
cheer has been pensioned off.

THE DUkE.O'LEARY SHOOTING AT.
FRAY.
Condition Of Duke.

Robert Duke, who was shot on the night OF
the oath, by John O'Leary, has but one
chance in ten to live-so the physician in at
tendance reports. The ball that did the
work entered the left breast, between the
second and third rib, and made its way up
between the shoulder blade and vertebral
column; thus it was found when extracted by
by DR.. A. Chastant Dukes left arm is en-
tirely paralyzed, be having no pulse in the
brachial artery, circulation therefore being
only maintained by the collateral arteries.
The evidence that the lungs have been
pierced by the ball is that the patient is
coughing and splitting Jumps of blood, and
his position is considered critical by the at
tending physicians, though hopes Of his re-
coyery are still entertained. At las. accounts
the patient was suffering very much.
