Across the street, in neat cottage
lived three sisters of not less than thirt,

A UCTION GOODS
FOR CASH
Revo1Ltion in Prices .
BUY RIGHT AND MONEY rs ALREADY
SAVED

We buy our Goods at Auction Houses, and
who has ever attended these auctions will notice
how prices fuctnate, and will mark the steady
downward tendency, sale after sale and day af
ter day, straight through the season, affording
to real judges of good capital chances 70 under
quote the regular market by at least 20 TO 35 per
cent, and to sell to the public. and to men to
retail, at less thsn the case price ct the mill.
An importer, hard up, will offer goods at cost
to raise money, but when note is due to-mor-
row and money must be had, he tumbles his
goods into the auction rooms where cost or no
COST they must go. We buy them at nearly our
own price.
Money isa tip-top thing. but brains is the
master. We buy our goods CHEAP q d our pro-
fits are already saved and made, giving US the
double advantage of selling at prices that must
crush the opposition, who will at once start the
cry that our goods are stolen, or that we are
about to fail, getting up q reputation for US,
without the expense of advertising-so by jul
dicious management We may easily turn the
enemy's guns upon his retreating line or put
him in harness upon double duty.
To-day wooden mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displays in the auction room and
sold for half its value. Next day Hosiery
house fails, their stock goes to the same place
and sold at an immense sacrifice. SO, day after
day, through dozen auction houses, these
bursted merchants and these mooDshine million
aires go crushing through at prices that would
bewilder both buyer and seller, only to prove
that in this advanced age of stubborn and I'M
yielding fighting, it is your duty to make every
edge cut, and to take advantage ofevery chance
these giant engines afford.
Wedo not pretend, nor do we wish to lead
the public to believe, that we keep full or reg
ular assortment of Goods. Webuy everything at
auction, if we can get it below its value, without
regard to getting up an assorIment-but what
we have got will be sold at astonishingly low
prices.
Our present stock consists principally of Gem
tlemens' Undergarments, Clothing, Cass m eres,
Cloths, Cassinets, Hats and Caps, Notions, and
all kinds of Boots and Shoes, Ladies' Shawls
a large assortment of Furs, principally Misses
nd Children
Our auction sales will continue as heretofore,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, to commence
at O'Clock in the evening. except at the month
ly courts, when we will have our auction sales
in the day time, and commence at 10 O'Clock in
the morning.

EFFECT OF LIGHTNING ON TREES.-A
Swiss savant named Colladon has made
some interesting observations in regard to
the effect produced on different kinds of
trees by tightening. In the neighborhood
of Geneva Lake, where these observations
were made, the poplar tree suffered least
from lightning, seeming to conduct it
away rapidly. Oaks, when struck, lose
the tops. Elms are as little injured as
noplars. Calladon has found that young
ID ear trees recover from the effects OF light
ming, but old ones die, which seems to be
a proof that young trees are better con-
du.ctors. The practical conclusion that
he draws from this is that poplar trees
may serve for lightning rods when planted
near houses, provided care be taken to
connect the lower part of the trunk with
a well OF moist ground by means Of a
strong metal plate buried in the earth.
Without this preeaution the electric cur
rent may leave the tree and take another
direction. This happened, in one case,
where it took an oblique course through
A house in order to reach a neighboring
puddle. If the ground water is not very
deep, this is not necessary, as on rivel
banks and in valleys.

WHAT SHE THOUGHT.

Marion showed me her wedding gown
And her veil of gossa,ner lace tonight
And the orange blooms that tomorrow morn e.
Shall fade in her soft hairs golden light,
But Phillip came to the door;
\ Like the heart of a wild rose glowed her cheel
And they wandered off through the garden paths
So blessed that they did not care to speak.
wonder how it seems to be loved;
To know that you are fair in some ones eyes;
That upon some one your beauty daNnS
Every day as a new surprise.
To know that whether you weep or smile,
Whether your mood be grave OF gay,
Somebody thinks of you all the while
Sweeter than any flower of May
wonder what it would be to love-
That, think, would be sweeter far
To know that one out of all the world
Waslord Of your life, your king, your star!
They talk of loves sweet tumult and pain;
am not sure that understand,
Though thrill ran down to my iinger-tips,
Once -somebody-touched my hand
/ wonder what it would be to dream
OF a child that might one day be your own,
Of the hidden springs of your life part.
Flesh of your flesh, and bone of your bone.
Marion stopped one day to kiss
A beggar's babe with a tender grace,
While some sweet thought, like a prophecy,
Looked from her pure Madonna face.
wonder WHAT it must be to think
Tomorrow will be your wedding day,
And in the radient sunset glow,
Down fragrant flowery paths to stray,
As Marion does this blessed night
With Phillip, lost in a blissful dream,
Can she fe 81 his heart through the silence beat?
Does he see her eyes in the starlight CLEAN?
Questioning thus, my days go on,
But never an answer comes to me;
All loves mysteries, sweet as strange,
Sealed away from my life must be.
Yet still dream, 0 heart Of mine!
Of a beautiful city that lies afar;
And there sometime, shall drop the mask,
| And be shapely and fair as others.are!

IN LILAC TIME.
Ely ELLEN TRACY ALDEN.

The bobolink sung to IS mate.
The doves wuz softly cooin',
heard the clinl1in' of the gate
When Joe first come a-wooin'.
stood beside the Hack bush,
The sun wuz slowly sinkin',
MY cheeks wuz all to once a-blush
When heard the gatelatch clinkin'.
Fer Joe he WIZ so good an kind
Tho sich bashful lover
No truer friend you'd ever find
In all the Wide world over.
He sez 'Ez wuz goin' by,
I seed yer hair so shiny,
Yer eyes ez blue ez summer sky,
Yer cheeks eZ reds q piny;
sNIy heart my throatcome thrpmlain' in,
The dusk, it struck my fancy
j couldn't help a-comin' in
An speakin to ye,. Nancy
An then e seZ-'e SeZ-Oh, me!
My feelinS gifts onruly:
He'd liked me all along, We see;
Iknowhe loved me truly.
An WuZ but an orphan, too,
A-workin fer my livin,
Without a kith Ell kin knew,
An jest myself to give i'm.
An when lis voice sunk soft away
A kind O. tremblin' in it
The words 1 tried so hard to say
KEEP ehokin fer aminute,
The lllack blossoms WIZ in blow,
SO sweet, with dewdrops beaded;
handed i'm q bunch, an Joe
No other answer needed.
The year, it passed-the war wuz GOMEZ
The soldiers fast enrolin
l heard the beatin' of the drum
Thought like church-bell tollin'.
L stood beside the lilack bush,
The shadows round me lynn,
An all the evenn' in a hush
Except the wind a-sighin'.
AM down the lane whippowill
SO sad an mournful calln--
Somehow, it wuz so dreadful still,
The tears would keep a-fallin'.
An then he come-so brave an strong,
An yet his lips a-quiyerin';
I guest is Grant all along,
An couldn't help a-shiverin'
Oh, friend, the year went round, went round
But this Ill tell you better;
This Withered lilack some one found,
An sent me in letter.
All, well! there's more than me that know
How sad is war, an fearful;
An since the good God plans it so,
must try to be cheerful.
But when the blacks are in bloom,
An when the days adyin',
I creep off to my little room
An have a fit OF cryn'
