1t is said that Roxbury Mass
physician has cured MANY Obstinate
cases OF diarrhea by prescribing water
melon.
Ten mills make one cent. Yes.
but ten gin-mills, now, how MANY
scents do they make when they feel
right?
If you want a new set of ''natu-
raj curls,' dear. you should go to Nj
agara. for that is the place to get good
falls air
AS the fruit season advances,
women seem to get a notion that their
husbands have extensive interests i'm
sugar plantations.
-" These are the last rows of sum-
mer," as the Granger said when he
went through his corn field with his
cultivator for the last time.
The horse is all a neetinc show.
for mans delusion given, Rochester
Democrat. Try mules. Mules are not
very tleet-ing, bit they are reliable.
Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw them back 10y love and bersua-
sion. "A kiss is worth a thousand
kicks. a kind word is more valuable
TO the lost than mine of gold.
Even in California, saws the San
Francisco Bulletin, where wheat is the

The general rule in the sale of
steers from the farm, is to be off of
feed and water for twelve hours that

How funny it will be half CEN
tury hence to read in the dispatches:
=" An old man supposed to be Charley
Ross was discovered to-day in this
town and has been taken into custody.
The authorities have communicated
with his only surviving nephew in Ger
mantown."-N y. Graphic.
Men who have stood where thou
sands fell, who have gazed unmoved
upon the horrors OF the battlefield and
the wrecks of the storm, cannot, with
out emotion, behold the devastation
and mangled ruin which marks the
progress Of woman with a scythe.
Nature shoulders when it sees a woman
throw stone, but when it sees a wom-
an swinging scythe, it just tries to
cover up its head and keep out of sight
until thcruin is complete. -Buylington
Halok-Eue.
The vulgar prejudice against the
tax collector does not extend to the
Black Hills. His arrival in DeadwOod
City is announced with flourish %
trnmpets in the Pioneer. 1t is easy
to understand why he is a welcome
guest. This region is an Indian reser-
walton and white men have no right 10
dig gold there. But if the United States
Government allows the miners to 20
thither and then sends a tay-gatheler

right to remain there, and cannot with
hold the privileges Of court and post
office.

sailed the oil. People who talk much
expose their teeth to the air; evapora-
ton of the saliva ensues, and tartar
collects on every tooth. In Il few
years the teeth of a talker become de-
fective, and he (more frequently She)
goes bowling to dentist. Who says
there is not Il punishment for every
idle word ?-Co,aier-Jo,nnoi.
The rosy cheeks and comfortable
to,1nuyes of the priests at Rome always
inspire the bilious, although contem-
plative American, with sentiments OF
envy and admiration. 1t should be a
comfort to know how the good fathers
manage their personal economy in such
way as TO produce the excellent
results witnessed. The secret is very
simple. A letter-writer tells us that
they 20 early to bed. sleep long and
regularly, rise late, and talk placidly.
They shun veXatious or exciting con-
versation, and try TO avoid disease by
acting rs though it did not exist.
They escape the visitation Of Death
until late period of life by cutting his
acquaintance.
