and whom at once supposed to be dead.
On drawing near to him, however, per-
celved he was still alive, but in a faint
ing state. Vigorously I shook him: at
last he opened his eyes and asked me in
a lamentable and scarcely-audible voice
whether had any snuff with me? When
gave negative answer he fell back
into his former condition. | now went
IN search OF snuff, and was fortunate
enough TO meet peasant, who kindly
came with me to the fainting man, and
gave him some pinches of snuff The
man soon recovered, and then he told ne
that ne had to travel a certain distance
as messenger, and on starting in the
morning had forgotten to take his snuff
box. As he went along so violent became
his craving for snuff that he was com
pletely exhausted, and had fallen down

him. But for my opportune arrival he
said he must surely have died"

Spikes.

The man who haz got but one thing
to reckomend him, like the tune ov the
tin whissell, soon gifts TO be monotonous.
Time flies fast to thoze who don't watch
it, and slow to thoze who do.
Words won't annihilate any thing; it
takes ideas to do this kind ov work.
Truth IL SO simple that the simplest
language expresses it the strongest.
Wealth and fame are the two most un
stable things, yet men pursew them
most untiring.
Face the musk, yung man, whether
yu like the tune or not.
Learning, to man ov genius, IL like
broad-swoard in the hands ov a giant.
Every one luvs to be praized, but
praize makes wize man caushus and
phool kareless.
1t often requires more bravery to say
" No" than it duz to resent an insult.
The quickest way to beat most men in
an argument IL to listen and say nothing
Hewho haz more time on hiz hands
than he knows what to do with haz
great burden to carry.
All superstition il the growth ov fear
and Ignorance.
The wizest men the world haz ever
produced hav never been satisfied with
what they knew.
The time and mummy spent in learning
to play good game ov billyards would
buy nice farm.
The man who IL allwuss wanting more
goes thru lite poor and dies at last in
solvent.
It il a rare privilege to hav it in our
power to forgiv another.
All the CRATE Successes hav been the
result ov repeated failures.
Flys and friends are too often alike;
they are attrakted most bi sunshine and
sugar.
Money il the servant ov wise man,
but the master ov a simpletOn.
Thoze who are allwuss anxious to take
a sekret to keep are the very last ones to
be trusted; they are az leaky az an old
roof
If yu don't want ennything everybody
haz got sumthing to lend
A good reputashun IL like good helth;
it il not fully appreciated until it IL lost

Happy Husbands.

IT is a mans own fault if he is unhap
Ply with his wife, in nine cases out of ten.
1t is very exceptional woman who will
not be all she can be to an attentive hus-
band and a more exceptional one who
will not be very disagreeable if she finds
herself willfully neglected. 1t would be
very easy to hate a man who, having
bound a woman to him, made no effort
to make her happy; hard not to love one
who was constant and tender; and when
a woman loves she always strives to
please.
The great men of this world have often
been wretched in their domestic rela-
tions, while mean and common men have
been exceedingly happy. The reason is
very plain. Absorbed in themselves,
those who desired the worlds applause
were careless of the little world at home /;
while those who had none of this egotism
strove to keep the hearts that were their
own, and were happy in their tenderness.
No woman will love man the better
for being renowned or prominent.
Though he be first among men she will
only be prouder, not fonder; and if she
loses him through this renown, as is
often the case, she will not even be
proud But give her love. appreciation,
kindness, and there is no sacrifice she
would not make for his content and COM
fort The man who loves her well is her
hero and her king, No less hero to her
though he is not one to any other; no
less king though his only kingdom is
her heart and home.-Erchdnge

A Recipe for Good Digestion.

DIR. BELLOWS remarks, in his new
work, How To Be Sick:
Nothing is better understood than that
there is connection between cheerful
ness and good digestion; and the trite
expression, +" to laugh and grow fat" I'M
doubtedly has it's origin in observation
if not in philosophy. What an astonish
ing amount aud variety of food can be
disposed of and perfectly digested at one
sitting Of cheerful and happy, not to say
jolly and merry, old friends, and that
without alcohol or other unnatural slim
illus to help digestion venture to say
more than three times as much as the
same Individuals could eat and digest in
the same time if each took his meals by
himself
And this one fact is worth more than
all else can write to show the depend
ence of the digestive powers on the
state of the mind, and to prove that he
must be lean and haggard who, keeping
his mind constantly Oh his business,
bolts his meals in silence and solitude,
even in the presence Of his family. I
commend it to the careful consideration
of uncomfortable mortals who never
properly digest their food and whose
bones are too poorly clothed with flesh
and too poorly protected even to allow
them quiet rest, and who. therefore,
envy " fat, headed men and such as
sleep O. nights"

A TIRED WOMAN'S LAST WORDS.

HERE lies old woman who always was tired,
For she lived in d house where help wasn't hired.
Her last words on earth were: Dear friends,
am going
Where sweeping amt done, nor churning, nor
sewing;
And everything there will be just to my wishes
For where they don't eat there's no washing of
dishes.
III be where the loud anthems will always be
ringing,
But,Ehaving no voice, I'll get rid of the singing
Don't mourn for me now, and mourn for me
never,
For I'm going to do nothing forever and ever"

THE SERENADE.

The following verses, hitherto unpublished
were written in 1914.
By FITz GREENE HALLECK.
AWAKE, my love, awake, awake,
Shake off soft Slumber's power;
1t is thy lovers voice doth break
The Stiffness of the hour.
Nights gloomy veil now shrouds the skies
And in darkness rove,
But oh! arise, and let thine eyes
Hume the night, my love.
The glittering planets of the night
Unclouded now / see;
But ahl to me how faint the light
When absent, love, from thee.
Thy beaming glance is brighter far
Than all the stars above;
Then obi arise, and let thine eyes
Outshine their light, my love.
FAREWELL and now may balmy sleep
Its influence DER thee shed,
And holy guardian angels keep
Their watch around thy bed.
And now I'll HE me to my couch,
Nor more in darkness rove,
Then obi sleep on till mornings dawn,
And dream of me, my love.

The Efficacy of Bread Pills.

In his address before the graduating

other day ex-Gov. Hoffman related this
incident: 81 would not say anything to
lower the tone Of your professional or
personal morals, but | fancy there is a
certain kind Of deception which is not
sin. was sitting at dinner once with an
esteemed country medical friend, and
noticed him rolling in his fingers pills
from the bread at his side. I asked his
purpose, and he replied that with that
simple remedy he had worked cure in
the case of a lady who had consulted in
vain some of the most celebrated physi-
clans in the State; that she had slight
relapse and had sent to him for some of
the pills which he had given before. He
did not seem to think he was doing a
very wicked thing; nor did it strike me
that he was. I suppose he would have
been little iustered if his patient had
asked him to write out the prescription.
This he knew she would not do. She
had faith in him, and in no one else, and
would have trusted no one else to make
up the pills"

In short, with apparently an energetic
attempt to correct all shortcom ings and
put the housekeeping upon perfec
basis, Lima in one month nearly doubled
her brothers expenses, and drove him to
the verge of distraction, keeping accu-
rate account of every complaint
But Essie, well and strong again, was
coming home. On the day of her ex-
pected arrival Lima, with solemn face,
invited her brother into the sitting-room
for a few moments of private converse
ton.
=" Herbert" she said, very gravely, 81
have proposition to make to you. You
are my only brother, and / need not tell
you | love you very dearly. 1t has
really grieved me to the heart to see how
much there is to find fault with in your
beautiful home" Herbert twisted him
self uneasily in his chair, but Lima con-
tinued:
You know that mother is very depend
ent upon me, Louie having the house and
children to care for, but 1 think she
would sacrifice ner own comfort for
yours. So if you wish, Herbert, will
come here permanently to keep things in
order for you"
Here Lima was obliged to pause and
strangle a laugh at Herbert's expression
OF utter horror and dismsy.
