and this very good boy may have been
q little too smart and saucy.
Little Mary was prettily dressed, and
standing in front Of the house waiting
for her mother to go out to ride. A
tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was
passing, when the little girl said:
"Come here, boy, and shake hands wi
me. dot boy dus' like you, named
Josy." The boy laughed, shook hands
with her, and said: Give got little
girl just like you, only she hasn't any

Here lady came out of the door and
said: MARY, you must not talk with
bad boys on the street. hope You
haven't taken anything from her? Go
right along, and never stop here again,

That evening the lady was called
down to speak to boy in the hall. He
was very neatly dressed, and stood with

A BOOK agent who has retired from
active labor, says the Easton Free Press,
upon the hard earned accumulation of
a life of Industrious cheek, says that
the great secret of his success was when
he went to q house where the female
head of the family presented herself, he
always opened saying, Il beg your par

get 'em. They not only subscribed for

Did1se Like to Tell Before Tolks.


Did1's Like to Tell Before FOLKS.
A horny-handed phrenologist in q
West End grocery of Madison, Wis, the
other evening placed his hand on
friends head and said:
"Bill, do you want to know your ca
pacity and preceptibleness?"
Eyes, if I've got any," was the reply.
"Well, then, continued the phrenol-
ogist, II place the tip of my thumb
above the center of the ear, thus. Then
I extend my fingers around the posterior
portion, called in frenology oxy-pot /;
then join the tips of the fingers of both
hands and endeavor to bring the thumb
tips together, but the thumbs don't meet
by-great goodness
At this point the phrenologist looked
puzzled, and gazed up to the ceiling re-
dectively and graveiy.
"Out with tt am prepared to hear
the worst, said Bill.
But the phrenologist said he'd have
to tell him privately, and took him out
and up the street till near saloon door,
when he paused and whispered in Bills
ear:
you've got a powerful brain, pow
erful intelleck, and orto be in Congress
stead of using hammer"
Bill dragged his friend into the saloon
and called for the "best in the house"
They drank, and Bill asked:
"Why didn't you tell me in the pres
ence of those men in the grocery ?"
Because" said the phrenologist,
II knew they'd call me darned fool !"
BADLY TRAINED HUSBANDS. - How
many happy girls have paid dearly for
the early INFRINGING Of their young
husbands, who, the first glamour of
love passed away, treat their wives as
they were allowed to treat their sisters,
and as they saw their fathers treat their
mothers, carelessly, unexpectedly,
with total want of that considerate
tenderness which is worth all the pas
sionate love in the world. Thus,
though they may pass muster outside as
excellent husbands, never doing any
thing really bad, and possessing many
good and attractive qualities, Yet con-
trive somehow quietly to break the
poor womanly heart, or harden it into
that passive acceptance of pain which is
more fatal to married happiness than
even temporary estrangemcnt. Anger
itself is safer thing than stolid, hope
less Indifference.
The best husbands I ever met came
out of O family where the mother, q
most heroic and self-denying woman,
laid down the absolute law, "Girls
first" Not in authority, but first to be
thought of as to protection and tender
ness. Consequently, the chivalrous care
which these lads were taught to show
their own sisters, naturally extended
itself to all women. They grew up
true acknowledgements, unexacting,
courteous of speech, and kind of heart.
In them was the protecting strength OF
manhood, which scorns to use its
strength except for protection; the
proud honesty of manhood, which pre-
fers being lovingly and openly resisted,
| to being twisted around ones finger"
az mean men are twisted, and mean
women will always be found ready to do
it; but which, think, all honest men
and brave women would not merely
dislike, but utterly despise. -Sermons

Mango in cattle is produced by the
presence of q minute insect, or dcdrus,
which has it's habitation in the skin, and
burrows its way from the surface under
meath the cuticle. The symptOms Of
this disease are a constant rubbing and
itchiness of the animal, which, when
examined, will be found to have the
skin denuded of hair in places. and hav-
ing sort of dry scurf. When this is
removed by the finger, there are found
small, raw-looking pimples, discharging
yellowish Serious fluid. On examin-
inh the scab under microscope, acari
may be distinctly seen. The parts more
especially affected are the skin about the
neck, breast and thighs, where it hangs
loose and in folds. In the treatment of
mango, two things have to be accom-
plished- the destruction of the insect
and ova, and the restoration of the
healthy action of the skin. For the
former purpose, almost all the various
poisonous compounds of the PhWmdco-
pgd have been recommended and en-
plOyed, often effecting more harm than
good. Arsenical compounds, although
destructive to the acari, are often de-
structive to the animal too, and should
be avoided as much rs possible. Mer
curial compounds are equally effective,
and should be used with extreme eau
ton, rs pytalism, or salvation, will
often ensue when these compounds
are brought into requisition, especial

Our readers have observed the fair
ness and impartiality Of the Associated
Press reports concerning elections In
the States in which they have occurred
during the present camr aign. No wild
reports were sent concerning the result
in Maine or Vermont, and the figures
given at first were found to be correct
when the official returns were received.
We are certain that the same truthful
and impartial course has been followed
in the report of the Colorado election.
Mr.. Armstrong, the Associated Press
agent at Denver, is "a gentleman Of
good judgment and strict integrity, and
he has gathered theI news sent over the
wires from the best sources. If our
Democratic friends knew him better
they would not indulge in low abuse of
him, nor denounce his dispatches as lies
quite as much as they have done since
Tuesday last.

we have looked up the record of that

Death.

The grim messenger LAS called from
our midst the wife of our fellow-citizen,

ed to their Last resting place. yesterday,
by those who knew and loved her dur
ing the short time she has resided in
this city. Her pastor, Rev. Mr.. Sam
den, spoke the last solemn words over
her earthly body, and amid the weep
ing Of relatives and mourning Of friends
it was laid away.
1t Is well with her.-To her bereaved
husband, a friend Of many years, we
would speak a few words of consolation;
yet how hollow must seem to him all
terms of sympathy and coincidence.
We remember well-it is only q few
months since-whenhe went east, to the
home of the dear one, who had prom
ised to link her young life with his.
The affection which had ripened into
love was ~consecrated at the altar,
where life joins life. The newly we'd
ded pair came to Cheyenne, their chosen
home. Cheerfully, hopefully, they took
up life's duties; the husband sustained,
gladdened and helped on by his mate in
the struggle of care aud duty; both pass
ing on, hopeful, trusting, and ever keep
ing in mind the deep and sacred prom
Use made to each other, and which had
armed each with the others heart.
Suddenly cruelty, we think = an
overriding Providence sewers these
precious, but earthly ties, and they are
lost in that higher wedlock where all
hearts are united around the great Gen.
trial Heart of all.
May the calm sunshine of faith and
resignation soften the blow to the strick-
en- husband.
