How to Get Rich.

A merchant had just as well
expect to get rich by closing
his doors and keeping his goods
concealed from public view, as
TO hope to succeed IL business
without advertising, while his
contemporaries are continually
exhibiting their stocks to the
public gaze and inviting calls
from purchasers. 1t is just as
natural for the subscribers of
newspapers to buy Of those who
advertise in it, as it is for chill
dren to follow soldiers when on
parade. The simple fact Of
seeing certain goods published,
after morning, has an
irresistible attraction that will
tastcn itself upon the mind and
never fails to guide each reader
to the very store at which his
or her wants can be at once
supplied. Every merchant of
common sense knows it to be
so; and yet many of them fail
to resort to the very method to
make sales which is used to ir-
luce them to make purchases.

Cumberland Mountain.
BY MUSA DUNN.

10 my 6elored Brother Il. Blake Parks
Away, away, the strong iron horse
Is bearing me from loved ones, to roam.
Into the land where the immigrant goes.
Into the wilderness to erect new home.
Away from dear old Cumberland Mountain,
Whose fresh sweet breeze invigored nv life,
Near whose base sported in childhood.
Far from the gr' at worlds din and strife.
AT whose mammoth side I've gazed in won
der,
Lost in dreams of the treasures within,
Watching it flush in a glow of splendor,
AS the sun flashed Ger its purple rim.
In its lofty shadow my youth expanded
Fresh as the flowers that grew on it's side,
Whose majestic peaks I've often clambered,
Viewing the country fan and wide.
I've quenched my thirst at the clear cool
streams,
That sprang from its rugged breast, =.
Lulled by the breeze from its shaggy brow,
Each night l'ye sank to rest.
All! what sahl be, when see you again?
Dear old Mountain, never lost to my mind!
envy your loftiness, that could look down
On the dearly loved brother Pve left behind.
Who perhaps even now, gazes up at your
brow
With a sadness never known before,
Thinking Of one in far distant land
Who'll rest in our shadow no more.
Ah, let us possess our souls in patience,
hat though it smite, we may kiss the rod,
ct little while, and we'll all rest together
n the shadow of the Mountain of God.

How It was Settled.

Two woodchoppers in Neo-
sho, Kansas, could not agree as
to whether one owed the other
fifty cents; the end Of the alter
cation was the murder of the
alleged creditor by the alleged
debtor. Bill Gideon, the mur-
derer, mounted a mule that he
found hitched by the village
store and rode away. Mr..
Short, the owner Of the mule,
got on a horse and overlook the
fugitive in a lonely place. -
"Now," said Bill, drawing a re-
volver and aiming at his un-
armed antagonist, 'you've got
to ride with me all day. If |
let you go you'll alarm the
country, and | don't want to kill
you. Come along, and if you
attempt to speak to any body
we meet Iii blow your brains
out" Short dared not disobey,
and they rode on together. :
Gideon told whoever they met
that they were searching for
stray cattle. They kept on for
thirty-six hours, and at the end
of that time Short, having no
was exhausted. Gideon
then quit him, leaving the mule
and completing his escape on
foot.

Recently an officer of St.
Albans, Vt, having two insane
persons to convey to an asylum
for the insane at Brattleboro',
called one Of the lunatics aside
and asked his aid in keeping
watch of his companion during
the journey and then did the
same with the other. The two
lunatics sat side by side, silent
ly watching each other through
the whole journey, and they
have continually kept guard o.
yer each other in the asylum
ever since.

aid, sends the following special
to his paper in relation to the
amnesty debate. As a matter
OF justice to the Southern Rep
resentatives it should have gen.
Ieral circulation:
"The amnesty debate is sub
stantially closed. The general
opinion this evening among the
democrats is that they have
been led into a trap and wanton-
ly sacrificed. There is a great
deal of grumbling and dissatis-
faction at the turn matters have
taken, and it is a noticeable fact
that this dissatisfaction is great
est among the Southern Demo-
Gratis. The greatest number of
these are of strong conserYa-
tive tendencies. They have.
come here with a desire to stir
up no bad blood and to let by
cones be by cones. They have
not taken very decided stand
so far in the counsels of their
party, most Of them being new
men, but they were full of dis
gust at the manner in which the
Louisiana question was drag
ged into the House on the first
day Of the session, which was,-
as many of them said, against
their better judgment, and they
now deplore the amnesty de-
bate as injurious to the party
and reviving memories and pref
udices which had better pass a
way. 1t is probable from what
leading Southern men now say,
that if the question had been
left to them for determination
they wonld have urged that Mr..
Blaine's substitute should be
with a mild protest a.
gainst the exclusion of Davis,
Or that Mr.. Randall's bill should
not be brought forward at all.
they deplOre Mr.. Hills speech
as extremely injudicious, and it
S openly said that the night be-
fore he spoke Southern men,

Northern members feel the
speech and the whole debate to
De misfortune, and several de-
clare that it would lose their
