Ny NEIGHBOR AND [.

On! 1 pity my neighbor over the way.
Who had nothing to do but yawn all day;
No little hands to tumble her hair,
NaUttle nuisance" to vex her with care,
No little 8 torment to worry and tease;
Il Nothing to do but consult her own ease.
Poor rich neighbor, I'm sorry for you
Sorry, because you have 6 nothing to do
Sorry, because, as the days 60 by,
Y gu are restless and weary, you know not why;
aud once in while L can see the trace
OF many tear on your fair, proud face.
* am only laborer's wife,
Doing my part in the tread-mill of life.
Toe, my husband is off all day,
Fighting the giants of want away.
Baby and l we are busy too,
.ButWe've plenty of time to be sorry for you
Baby's nuisance, plague and joy;
But then, you see, he's my own sweet boy;
I've no time for groan or sigh,
No time to be idle as days 90 by;
MY arms are full as the day is long,
Full as my heart with its happy song.
Poor rich neighbor over the way,
Watching my baby and me at play,
What of your wealth if your heart is barrel
So, nefghbOr mine, can tell you true,
Indeed I'd rather be l than you.

perform any deed, however desperate, and
counted on an easy victory in collision
with the impromptu authorities, they were
not prepared for the power manifested by
the committee when its battalions of de-
termined men, fully armed and equipped,
marched forth to carry out their resolve of
hanging John Jenkins then and there,
and of following up in rapid succession,
until the town was plrged of every MUIR
derer, hOuse-burner, or robber that could
be found
The bell continued to toll the death
knell of the doomed man as the prepare
ton for the execution went steadily for
ward. 1t was known to the committee
through their agents in the enemy's camp
that rescue of the prisoner was contem-
plated, and they were fully prepared. The
friends Of the culprit, on the other hand,
dared not force the issue in the face of SO
great odds, and while the rays of the full
moon mellowed the haZy atmosphere OF
this midsummer night, and all inanimate
nature seemed at peace, they were com
PEELED to remain inactive while one OF
their band paid the penalty of his mis-
deeds. But they were marked, every man
of them. A power had risen in the land
too mighty for their resistance, and which
was soon to manifest that power more
forcibly among their ranks. Others were
doomed to follow their comrade in his
dance Of death, and the rest to be expelled
from the city and the organization broken
up.
AT two O'Clock the signal was given
and score Of men seized the rope already
adjusted to the neck of the trembling
wretch and ran toward the adobe build

ging him along the ground until the END
of the building was reached, over a pro
jecting beam of which the rope was cast
Another vigorous pull, and a writing
form shot upward and was left swinging

A Fathers Lesson to His Son.

ONE day Roberts father saw him play
ing with some boys, who were rude and
unmannerly. He had observed for some
time change for the worse in his son,
and now he knew the cause. He was
very sorry, but he said nothing to Robert
at the time. In the evening he brought
from the garden six rosy-cheeked apples,
put them on plate, and presented them
to Robert. He was much pleased at his
fathers kindness, and thanked him. " You
must lay them aside for ii few days, that
they may become mellow" said the faith
er, and Robert cheerfully placed the plate
with the apples in his mothers store
room.
Just as he was putting them aside, his
father laid on the plate seventh apple,
which was quite rotten, and desired him
to allow it to remain there
But, fathern' said Robert, "the rot
ten apple will spoil all the others"
p" Do you think so? Why should not
fresh apples rather make the rotten one
fresh?" asked his father. And with
these words he shut the door of the
room
Eight days afterwarG he asked his son
to open the door and take out the apples
But what sight presented itself! The
six apples which had been so round
and rosycheeked were now quite rotten,
and spread a bad smell through the
room.
" Father" cried he, Ibid l not tell

you tkat the rotten apples would spoil
the good ones? You did not listen to
me-"
My boy" said the father, ''have I
not told you that the company of bad
children will make you bads Yet you
do not listen to me- See in the state of
the apples that which will happen to
you, if you keep company with wicked
boys"
Robert did not forget the lesson. When
any bad boys asked him to play with
them, he thought of the rotten apples, and
kept himself apart from them

a SCHOOL-BOY's COMPOSITION.

Corn are of two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows, and animal corn grows Oh toes.
There arc several kinds of corn there
is the unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgers.
field corn and toe corn, which is the
corn you feel most. 1t is said l be-
heve, that gophers like corn, but per-
sons having corHs do not like to .'go
far, if they can help it. Corns have
kernals, and some colones have corns.
Vegetable corn grows on ears, but
animal corn grows OH the feet at the
other end of the body. Another kind
of corn is the acorn; these grow on
cakes but there is no hoax about the
corn. The acorn is a corn with an in
definite article, indeed. Try ii and
see. Many q man when he has corn
wishes it was an acorn. Folks that
have cOrns sometimes send for a doc
tor, and if the doctor himself il corn
ed, he pI Iobably won't do so well as if
he isn't. The doctor says corns are
which is probably the reason why.
when man is tight, they say he is
corned. If a farmer manages well, he
can get good deal of corn OH an acre,
but l know of a farmer that has one
corn that makes the biggest acher on
his farm. The bigger crop of vegeta.
BILE corn a man raises, the better he
likes it; but the bigger crop of animal
corn he raises. the better he does not
like it, Another kind of corn is the
corn dodger. The way it is made is
very simple, and is as follows-that is
if you want to know: You go along
the street and meet man you know
has a corn, and a rough character ;then
you step on the toe that has the corn
on it, and see if you don't have occa-
sion to dodge. In that way you will
find out what corn dodger is.

Ayers Cathartic Pills.

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 century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that Instructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade 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 aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
pnrgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious 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 in any quantity.
