HORSE AND BUGGY SToLEN.-A
stranger applied to livery Smith
at Dunl.ith on Tuesday of last week
for team TO go to PIatteville, and
hired for the purpose single horse
and open buggy. He went 10 Platte
vile, and while there attempted to
sell the property but failed. He left
suddenly with the rig. Smith fear'
ing his customer would not return,
followed to Platteville and there got
out a warrant for his arrest. Together
with Sheriff Mccoy, much of the
country from Plattevills northward
to Museoda was searched for the
thief and property, but neither have
thus far been found. The thief so
managed at Plattevills as not to have
his name, true or assumed, or the
character of his business to appear.
The animal was a bay mare, 8 years
old, weight $50, with scar on the
right hind leg. The driver man of
about 35 years, #. 10 inches high,
average build, sandy complexion,
chin beard, plainly dressed. Any
Information concerning the thief or
property would be thankfully receiv-
ed by ]. A. Smith, DunIeith, His, or

Look OUT FOR SUSPICIOUS CHARAC-
RERs.-We caution the people against
harboring strangers without positive
proof that they are following legiti-
innate business. AS general rule
mistrust stranger who applies to you
at this season for aid, for hire or your
good will, unless he can give good
account of himself. 1t is time now
when burglars, horse thieves and con-
fidence men in the cities run to the
country. They can live out doors if
necessary for days and days at time
to ply their avocation. Especially
now look out for horse-thleves. Their
harvest time has begun and will con-
tinue for several months. In the vii.
lagos especially guard against the APP
proach of night thieves and burglars.
1t is said that at both Lancaster and
Platteville lot of suspicious charac
tiers are loafing about. They may
have legitimate business, but it
would be well as the German some
times phrases it to swatch little out.

Many people hesitate to try medicine for
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uneer. j of its henefting them;
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: Any person suffer-
ing with cold, cough or sore throat that will
call at w. B. Bakers or any other drug store
and purchase a bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one half of it and, if they then
conclude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their

A Sour Temper.

Theodore Parker, most justly repri-
mands those sour, cross grained peo-
pie who affiict some households: "a
single person of sour, sullen temper
how dreadful it is to have such a one
in a house There are not myrrh and
a.oes and chloride of lime enough in
the world to disInfect single home Of
such nuisance as that; no riches, no
elegance OF mein, no beauty OF face,
can ever screen such persons from ut
ter vuIgarity. There is one thing
which rising persons hate the reputa-
tion of more than any others, and that
is vulgarity; but, trust me, ill-temper
is the vulgarest thing that the lowest
born and illest bread can ever bring to
his home. 1t is one ofthe worst forms
of impiety. Peevishness in home is
not only sin against the Holy Ghost,
but sin against the Holy Ghost in the
very temple of love.-E1.

Peace in Poverty.

I have seen the Chaistian man in
the depth of poverty, when he lived
from hand to mouth, and scarcely
knew where he should find the next
meal, still with his mind unruffied,
calm and quiet. If he had been as
rich as an Indian prince, yet he could
not have had less care. If he had
been told that his bread should always
come to the door, and the stream
which ran nard by should never dry,
and if he had been quite sure that ra-
vens would bring him bread IN the
morning and again in the evening, he
would not have been one whit more
calm.
There is his neighbor on the other
side of the street, not half so poor, but
worried from morning till night,
working his fingers to the bone, bring
ing himself to the grave with anxiety.

the place, but could do no service on
account of there being no water in the
vicinity. 1t is evident that it was the
work of an incendiary.

Beautiful Figure.


Two painters were employed to fres-
co the walls of a magnificent cathe-
dral; both stood OH u rude scaffold con-
structed for the purpose some eighty
feet from tn e floor. One of them was
80 absorbed, and in admiration stood
off from the picture, gazing at it with
delight. Forgetting where he was he
moved back slowly, surveying critic
ally the work of his pencil, until he
neared the end of the plank upon which
he stood. AT this critical moment his
companion turned suddenly, and al
most frozen with horror, beheld his
imminent peril; another instant and
the enthusiast would be precipitated
upon the pavement beneath; if he
spoke to him it was certain death-if
he held his peace death was equally
sure Suddenly he regaiaed his pres
ence of mind, and seizing wet brush
the beautiful picture with unsightly
blotehes of coloring fhe painter flew
forward, and turned upon his friend
with fierce imprecations; but, startled
at his CHASTITY face, he listened to the
recital of danger, looked suddenly
over the dread place below, and with
tears of gratitude blessed the hand
that saved him. So we sometimes
get absorbed in looking upon the pic
ture of this world, and, in contempla-
ting them, step backward, unconscious
of our peril, when the Almighty dash!
es out the beautiful images, and WI
spring forward to lament their destruc-
tion--into the outstretched arms of
mercy, and are saved.-NelO Age.
