Willing Love was paying visit
to his du'cinea. She had struggled
him into the parlor, and the dark
ness only served to conceal her
bushes while Willing told his
story of love. The muttered words
reached the parents ear, and COM

manded to know of Mary who it
was she had with her.
"It's the cat, sir, twas the num-

the pater-familias.
"Scat!" screeched Mary and
then sotto voice, "Willing, meaow

Willing set up a woful howl.

Waste no Time.

Time lost can never be regained.
After allowing yourself proper
time for rest don't live single
hour of your life without doing
exactly what is to be done in it
and going straight through with
it from beginning to end. Work,
play, study, whatever it is, take
hold of it at once and finish it up
squarely and clearly then to the
next thing without letting any
moments drop out between. 1t is
wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people make out of
a day f; and it is as if they picked
up the moments that the twad-
oilers lost. And if you ever find
yourself where you have so many
things pressed upon you that you
hardly know where to begin, let
me tell you secret. Take hold
of the very first one that comes
to hand, and you will find the rest
all fall into file, and follow alter
like company of well-drilled SOL
diers, and though work may be
hard to meet when il challenges
you in a squad, it is easily van
quished if you can bring it into
line.

Dead Body Found On IL
Sleeping.Car.
ChicndO Journal.

The train on the Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis Railroad that arrived
in this city at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing had on board one passenger of
whose presence the conductor nor any
one else was aware until the traiu ar
rived at the depot, at the corner of
Clinton and Carroll streets. There a
bundle was noticed lying on top of the
sleeping car, which came through from
Louisville. An examination of the bun
die revealed the fact that it was the
dead body of a man. None of the
train men were aware of its presence
there, nor can they form any idea as to
where or how he got on the car 1t is
supposed that he climbed up there for
the purpose of stealing a ride to Chica-
60, and was struck and killed by one Of
the bridges through which the train
passed. The man was about twenty
six years old, five feet eight inches
high, has dark hair and smooth face,
and is dressed in heavy boots, two pair
of brown pants, gray vest and blue
coat. Patrolman Dettinger took the
body to the Morgue to await cor
oner's inquest. There was nothing
found on the body by which he could
be identified, 1t may be that the dead
body was put on the car.

TilfOn's Paradise Lost.

The New York friends of Theodore
Tilton gave him an overwhelming well
come Monday evening by crowding
Chickering Hall, and applauding with
enthusiasm every well-made point in
his new lecture on 1.-THE Master Mo-
tives." The master motives of which
Mr.. Tilton spoke are fame, money, re-
venge, vanity, patriotism. love and re-
ligion. While speaking of love he said;
"The greatest blessing this country
possesses are its happy homes. 1t is
said that the Garden of Eden no longer
exists. That is false. With every
man the Garden of Eden is home
dropping his voice)-even when, as
with many of US, it is Paradise Lostl'
This drew from the audience long low
burst of applause.-[N. Y. Sun.

Luck and Labor.

Many people complain of their
bad luck when they ought to
blame their own want of wisdom
or exertion. Mr.. Cobden,a distin-
guished writer in England, thus
wrote about luck and labor
Luck is ever waiting for some
thing to turn up.
Labor, with a strong will, will
turn up something.
Luck lies in bed, and wishes the
postmaster would bring news of a
legacy.
Labor turns out at six O'Clock,
and, with busy pen, or ringing
hammer, lays the foundation of a
competence.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance.
Labor on character.
Luck slips down to Indulgence.
Labor looks up to independence.

THE REMOVAL OF A DANGEROUS
GROWTH FROM A MANS MOUTH.
From the NeeD York Sm.l
For the first time since 1S4S, a
galvanocautery battery was used
in New Brunswick Tuesday,in the
partial removal of the cancerous
growth with which the mouth of
John Stults has been filled. One
third of the malignant mass, that
cannot weigh less than q pound,
and is as large as good-sized fist,
was taken away in sagments by
means of a wire, in the form of a
loop, worked with thumbscrew,
and heated by the battery to a
white heat, so that the blood YES
sells were.cauterized as soon asst hey
were cut, and hardly an ounce of
blood was lost. The PARENT en-
dured the operation without the
aid of anesthetics. The operator
was DIR. Rice of New Brunswick,
who was assisted by DIR. Budd,
house surgeon at the Roosevelt
Hospital in this city. The patient
is able to close his mouth for the
first time in uany weeks, the cam
Ger having extended from the roof
of the palate to the teeth, and pro-
truding beyond them, and SO pre-
venting respiration that his gasps
for breath were heard across the
street. Attempts are to be made
TO further reduce the formation.

that the only trouble is that while

readily adjustable to either gauge,
1, is only about two years since
that great railroad changed the
gauge on Its entire length from
broad to narrow, not because it had
not business for bioad gauge
road but because the managers be-
came convinced they could do the

row-gauge road. They have one of
the heaviest freight businesses in
the country, yet claim that the mar
