contrast of nomen clatuie. The story Is
that for months the miners in going TO

along q certain path, wearing the earth
AWAY to the rock. A vein was thus
brought to light. A laborer, three
weeks ago, swung sledge upon MS
shoulders and started early in tho morn

DIR. REDFIELD, the special cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
IN the South, has pithy way of stating
his observations. He incidentally refers
tn the South Carolina Legislature as "the
rsscally Legislature which, under So
called republican government in South
Carolina, is little better than den OF
thieves" Speaking OF the Chamberlain
Government ne asks: "W hat Is such q

MARRYING IN HASTE.


We commend the following good
advice to our many young lady, read
ers: '' i~ai-7" ir'
In marrying, make your own match !;
do not marry any man to get rid of
him, or to oblige him, or to save him.
The man who would go to destruction
without you will quite as likely go
with you, and perhaps drag you along.
Do not marry in haste less you repent
at leisure. Do not marry for a home
and living, when by taking care Of
your health you can be strong enough
to earn your own living. Do not
place yourself habitually in the socie-
ty of any suiior until you have de-
cided the question of marriage; hu-
man Wills are weak, and people often
become bewildercd, and do not know
their error until IL is too late. Get
away from their in fluence, settle yonr
head, and make up yonr mind alone.
A promise may be made in a moment
Of sympathy, or even half deliriOus
ecstacy, which must be redeemed
through years of sorrow and pain.
Do not rush thoughilessly, hastily, in
to welded life, contrary to the coun-
sci Of your best friends. Love can
wait that which cannot wait is some
thing of very different character.

INDIAN SUMMER.

This faIcyon period pf 6qf autumn
will always in some wsyibe associated
with the Indian. 1t is red and yellow
and dusky like him. The smoke of
his campfire seems again in the air.
The memory of him pervades the
woods. His plumes and moccasips
and blanket of skins form just the
costume the season demands. 1t was
Doubtless his chosen period. The
gods smiled upon him then il eyer.
The time OF the clase. the season of
the buck ana the doc,and Of theripen-
ing ofthe forest fruits; the time when
all men are incipieDt hunters, when
the first frosts have given pungency to
the air, when to be abroad on the
hills or in the woods is n delight thst
both old and young feel-if the red
aboriginee ever had his summer of
fullness and contentment, it must have
been at this season, and it fitly bears
his name. s f.5r.e se miet

NJ. Ratliff. an old fruit grower of
Wayne county, gives us his method
for keeping winter apples as follows ::
At the proper season, before they are
fully ripe, in the fall, he picks them
carefully from the tree and buries
them in the ground, covering them
with thres sor four inches of earth
over that He assures uss that
he takes them out the next spring as
late "a Mag. per1ecfly sound,. nice and
plump. He is particularly successful
in this method with the russet. The
freezing in the winter seems to be
benefit instead of an injury to them.
When good apples will bring from
one to two dollars per bushel in May.
it pays well to take the trouble of
preserving them. 1t certainly is less
expensive plan for keeping few hun
dred bushels than building a fruit
house, and according to our friends
experience, it is quite as safe and sue
cessful. lse E'l i=

There was a Sunday-school celebra-
tion within hundred miles of Chica-
go, not long ago, and the minister
made a speech to the children, in
which he endeavored to teach the ma
ture of faith. So he told them the
following story, by way of ILLUSTRATION
In the deepening twilight of a sum
mer's evening, a pastor called at the
residence of one of his parishoncrs,
and found seated i'm the doorway lit
tie boy, with hands extended upward,
holding line.
"What are you doing here, my little
friend 2" inquired the minister.
"Flying my kite" was the prompt
reply, fe,
'Flying your kite!" exclaimed the
pastor; 81 can see no kite, you can see
none."
81 cannot see it, but 1 know it is
there, for IJeel 1T pull"
The children were all deeply inter-
ested, and the clergyman continued,
Now in few days after this the
mother of the little boy was about to
die, and she said to him;
''My son, when am an angel will
come, if can, and be with you and
shield you from harm, and watch to
see that you grow up to be a good
man. Will you try and think some
times that am by your side 2"
And the boy said he would.
"Now, my dear children" said the
minister,"wh that blessed angelcame
back from heaven and hovered over
her child, and placed her hand among
the fair golden hair, how did he know
that she was there, for he could not
see her? 2"
"Why, he fet her pull, Of course"
roared the class, in unison, and with
The promptness of absolute certainty.
The speaker sat down all of sudden
and the exercises concluded with the
singing of a hymn.

a HUNDRED YEARS TO DECIDE.

4 BY private letter from Germany the
following facts regarding singular
and novel wager are communicated
Two wealthy and influential Berlin
bankers, desiring to provide for their
children's heirs, and fearing that
through disastrous reverses they
might become poor, and be unable to
do so. they made wager concerning
the United States. The one bet 5000
marks "a mark is equal to about %
cents of our money! that the United
States will not remain republic, but
advance to higher knowledge of the
arts and sciences, while the other, just
as confident OF winning as the other,
of course, bet 1000 marks that our
country will remain republic all the
time between this and the second
Centennial, but will not retain the
high position in the arts and sciences
which she now occupies. This sum
1000 marks (about s1,75O American
money has been placed on interest for
the period of 100 years, at the expira-
ton of which time the Emperor of
Germany will decide which party is

HOW HE ROUNDED rHELAKE.

He was a tramp, bound Chicago
ward, and as they boarded the coupler
at the rear of an incoming engine, just
across the line i'm Indians, one recent
dark and chilly night. he had faith to
believe that he had 'so1t thing of il
for cheap ride. But the conductor
with his eagle eye and railway Ian
tern, soon espied the moncyless pass
enger on his uneushioned and COM
fortress seat. Did he order him of.
No. He had q deeper plot. He let
him remain, while on and on went the
train, from station to station, until it
reached great tank, where the engine
2 stopped to water up"
"Now for him." grinned the heart
less conductor, as he flashed to the
front.
""Now for him." he maliciously con-
tinued, as he grasped the water-trough
from the fireman's hands and directed
it over the back end of the engine.
"Now for him." he fiendishly grunt-
ed, as he heard Noah's deluge pour
ing over the head and shoulders of
the luckless tramp.
All grew still and the conductor or
dered his train on its way, convinced
that he had drowned the tramp, or at
least flooded him so far away that he
could never get back again.
Bnt when that conductor drove into
the depot in the early morning, there
was surprise in store for him.
"Be you the conductor 2" inquired
shivering voice at his elbow, as he
stepped on the platform.
"Yes," said he, looking around and
gazing upon a bedraggled and cinder-
covered man.
"Then 1 want ter know why yer
don't run around the end of the lake

"Wal, gosh! !" muttered the stran-
ger, in a bewildered tone, "blest If 1

tramp still lived and was waterproof.

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
/, the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of Il century, and
have obtained a Worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
cased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that obstructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their apericnt action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamcd. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
1t from the clements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
i'm all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any delcterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use i'll any quantity.
