Greenbacks ResCuedfrom
q Grave.

Washington Correspondent to the Louis
Vile Courier Journal.
Last week a nasty, discolored
and WORKOUT leather pocket-bOok
was sent to the Treasury with the
following affidavit, from Arkansas:
"WhiIe blowing my field | lost my
poeket-book; which contained a
500 note; a $50 and a $40.
Next year when pioughing the
same field | unearthed it. | send
it and its contents tor indentilica-
ton" The pocket book was Civ
en- to a lady who is a great eX-
pert. She carefully removed the
mould and debris, but alas, the
legal tenders had not been proof
against frost and rain and earthly
mould. There were only lew
black crumbs in the place of the
crisp, fresh notes. The lady took
tissue paper the size Of green
back. She carefully separated
the black PARTICLES, and, as If by
magic, she recognized a letter
here and a letter there. These
she stuck on the tissue paper
with mucilage, until she found a
clue ty which she could identi-
iy each note. She proved that
they were notes Of the National
Bank of Baltimore, Maryland, and
by her knowledge and patience she
caused the notes to be redeemed
by new ones, and. ii e farmer has
not lost a cent by planting bank
notes, though his crop has not in-
creased.

Turning GRAY.

Lies sands are running fast away,
The buoyant step OF youth has gone,
The falling hair is turning gray,
And time seems now to hurry on
More heetly than in days of yore, q.
Before the heart became its prey,
Before twas sadness to the core, 1-I
Before the hair was turning gray.
H3rH
Yes turning gray age like snow, I-
As still, and caryes each careworn line;
It's wrinkles on the brow will grow,
The hair with silvery streaks will shine,
The eyes their brightness lose, the hand
Grows dry and tIemulous and thin;
For life, alas, is quickly spauned, -.
And death its gates soon closes in.
All, turning gray we vain would hide
This sign how long with time we've been;
These deepened wrinkles side by side
Cut by the sorrows we have seen.
For feeble beats the heart as years ts.r
More thickly cluster on our head
As Autumn rain drops hang like tears
On some fair flower that's nearly dead!
Like rerished petals from the flower
Our topes and widest joys are laid,
Born only for day or hour,
Smeet gambols by the fancy played.
As age comes on we long for rest,
AS saints near shrines we long to pray;
But still We love that time the best
Before the hair was turning gray

Black but not O Bear.

Aloahngdarkey passing through
a hay field concluded he would
rest a little, and got behind a hay
stack to take a nap. This negro
was a snorer. The noise he pro-
duced soon awoke the echoes a
long distance off. Another dar-
key heard the noise, and as the
sound was entirely different from
anything he had ever known, be
reconnoitered :he haystack at a
safe distance to see what was be-
hind it. He saw what he took to
be a bears head, but what was in
reality nothing more than a pair
of No. 7 brosans enclosing the
ieet of an unconscious sleeper.
Filled with the magnitude of his
discovery he struck a bee line
homeward to get his gun. On his
way he met another darkey, whom
he told what he had found be-
hind that haystack and sent him
for gun also. Both of these col
ored heroes secured their weapons
and crammed them to the muZzle
with bird.shot. They then re-
traced their steps toward the hay
stack. 1t was finally agreed tLat
they should secure safe positions
within shooting distance of the
hay stack and make a noise, and
when the bear showed himself
they would pull down on him.
They accordingly secured a tree
apiece, aud proceeded to raise
cIamor enough to arouse the dead.
The noise very soon awoke the
sleeper, and he stuck his head
from around the haystaclt to see
what was the matter lie found
out without delay The intrepid
hunters heard the bear move, and
didn't wait for him to show HIM
self, but fired at once Immedi-
ately upon the report of their
guns a series of howls arose from
behind the hay stack, and the hun
ters, astonished at hearing bear
swearing in pretty plain English,
got away from the neighborhood
without standing on the order of
their going The bear was found
and carried home by some friends.
Tue doctors have already picked
about a quart of bird shot out of
him and haven't half done their
work.

What the Bird Said.

A gentleman whose modesty
was too great for his happiness
was one day going through a
wood with lady to whom he
l)nged but feared to offer his hand
and heart. He had schemed and
man@uvered enough for ten dip
lomatics to draw her away alone
from the picnic where they had
met, and now he burst not speak
out for the life of him. Blu! the
silence had become embarrassing,
and at last he ventured upon a
hint.
clark he said, suddenly stop
ping; "do you hear that beautiful
bird singing?'
"Yes," replied the lady.
500 you catch what it says?"
"No; / cannot say that | do"
"Why, it says, 4 love you! l
love you! love you! as plainly as
possible"
"Dear me, how odd" replied
she; and they walked on again in
silence for little distance.
Presently the lady, in her turn
stopped and said:
How fanny! Do you hear
what the other bird says?"
"No; what?" asked the man.
"Why, it seems to lie to say,
Show it! show it! show il!'
That was sufficient.

A Degree.

Sometime ago, Huntsville, Ala
bama, was under martial law,
permitting only druggists to sell
Intoxicating liquors, and then on
ly by a written order from a ply
sician. 1t happened, on u cold,
rainy day, that a fast chap, whose
name might have been Johnson, a
drummer from a New York dry
goods house, dropped into Hunts
vile, and, after stopping at the
hotel, wrote a note, and sent lit.
tie darkey to q drugstore for a
bottle of whiskey. The boy re-
turned, minus the whisky; but
with information that a physi-
clans order would bring it. 1t
only required moment to add
an. D." to Johnson's name, at
tached to the note, and the whis-
ky was forthcoming.
The next day, in conversation
with johnson, the druggist ad-
dressed him as "doctor."
"Beg pardon" said Johnson;
"but | am no doctor"
"But the NJ. D. to your name
yesterday"
"Only stood for Mighty Dry,"
was the cool reply.

1t appears, from the number of
chairs that "Wasbington sat in, ,
late on exhibition at the Centen-

the revolutionary war, and each
time in a different chair, many Of

Rough on the Insurance
Companies.

The decision of the United
States Supreme Court, rendered
the other day, on the suits brought
to secure life insurance policies
partially paid and forfeited for stop.
page Of payment by reason of WOr,
is of great interest to insurance
people. The suitors asked that
the policies should be restored
and paid in full. The decision
of the Court, in a nutshell, is that
the policies shall not be paid, but
that the insurance companies shall
pay back with interest whatever
sums have been paid them on such
policies. The decision will take
two or three million dollars out
Of the insurance companies.

Not a thousand miles from
Richmond a wife lay in a dying
condition. Having brought up
a clever orphan girl, who was
grown, the dying woman called
the young woman to her and
said: 81 will soon leave you
my little children motherless.
They know you and love you,
and after | am gone | want you
and my husband to marry"
The young woman, bursting in
to tears, said: eve were just
talking about that"
