BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.

"Good-byel Goodbye the driver said,
AS the coach went of in whirl,

head)
"Be good to yourself, my girl !"
All many fond goodbye I've heard,
Fro many an aching heart;
Ar a friendly farewell word,
Tnen ss.angers came to part
And Pve heard thousand merry quips,
And many senseless joke,
And many fervent prayer from lips
That all a-tremble spoke;
And many bit of good advice,
In smooth, proverbial phrase;
And many a wish-of little price
For health and happy days.
But musiDg how the happy soul
(Whate'er the fates may willy
Still measures by its selfcontrol
Its greatest good or ill

ward the bell line that ran above their
heads.
No sooner said than DONE Before any
one could prevent it, Rustic had seized
the line and given it tremendous tug.
The consequences were at once obvious /;
three shrill whistles were heard, half a
dozen brakesmen ran to their to posts,
and the train came to a standstill with a
suddcnness that startled half the passen-
gers with astonishmcnt, and caused every
man near window to hoist it and look
out to see what was the matter

The shout of laughter that greeted this

A Family Romance.

In 1866 John Rodman, poor
man, of Portland, Me-, moved to
Harlem, and shortly alterward
went to South America. In 1870
his family, not hearing from him,
returned to Portland. A son.
who went to sea, was not heard
from. The wife became a poor
broHen-dOwn seamstress. A short
time ago she was wrapping up a
dress for a customer iii q copy of
the New York Herald, and an ad-
vertisement in it caught her eye.
1t WAS addressed to her, and ask
ed her to send her address to a
lawyer in New York. BY their
advice she went to New Orleans.
Being insulted in the streets of
that city, she was defended by a
young man who proved to be ber
SOD, who bad just returned FROM
India. In a few days the bus
band arrived also. He had be-
come a very wealthy man and
had thought his family lost.

How to Judge a Town.

The Jefferson City (Mo.,)
Journal tell this, which is appli-
cable to many towns in the
South:
About Il week ago a gentle
man from Tennessee, represent-
ing a capital of 100000, in
search of a location in which to
engage in business, gave us a
card, and after stating his mis-
sion "West" asked to look at
our paper. We handed him
the morning Journal, and to our
surprise he did not stay to read
our newsy local pickups, or our
attractive editorial page, but
turned at once to our advertis-
ing columns, and commenced
counting our advertisers and
measuring their space.
"Well," said he, glancing up
from The paper, sis this all? Is
this the business of this town?"
ooh, no." said we, "there is
the Tribune with a few adveT-
tisements that don't appear in
the Journal" D."
He then counted two addi-
tlonal local business advertise
ments in the Tribune, and again
looked I'D with the remark:
''And that's all, is it? Why
you haven't got near as much
of town here as l thought
you had"
And then VIC explained to
him that we have a great many
business men that do not adver-
tisc.
''They are not business men
to hurt, if they don't advertise"
was his answer.
We could not contradict him, |
and we were powerless to vim
dicate the claims of the city.
He left us saying that if he
had time he would look around,
but this was no place for him.
This is one instance, and a
fact.
