THE LOVERS.
IN DIFFERENT MOODS AND rENsEs

Sally salter, she was 6 young teacher who
taught.
And her friend, Charley Church, was q
preacher who praught,
Although his enemies called him screecher
who scraught.
His heart, when ho sought her, kept sinking
And his eyes, meeting hers, began winking
and wunk;
While she, in her turn, fell to thinking and
thunk.
He hastened to woo her, and sweetly he
For his love grew until to q mountain IL
growed,
And what he was longing to do then he dooed.
In secret he wanted to speak and he spoke,
To seek with his lips what his heart long
had soke;
So he managed to let the truth leak and it
loke.
He asked her to ride to the church, and they
rode;
They 20 sweetly did glide that they both
thought they glOde,
And they came to the place to be tied and
were tode.
Then homeward, he said, let us drive, and
they drove
And soon as they wished to arrive they ar
rove,
For whatever he couldn't contnve he con-
trove.
The kiss he was dying to steal then he stole,
At the feet where he wanted to kneel there
he knole,
And he said, ''I feel better than lever fole."
So they to each other kept clinging and
clung,
While time his swift current was winging
and wung;
And this was the thing he was bringing and
brung.
The man Sallie wanted to catch and had
caught
That she wanted from others to snatch and
had snaught-
Was the one that she now liked to scratch
and she scraught.
And Charlie's warm love began freezing and
froze;
While he took to teasing and cruelty toze;
And the girl he had wished to be squeezing
and squose.
"Wretchl' he cried, when she threatened to
leave and left,
"How could you deceive me, as You have
deceft!n
And she answered, al promised to cleave and
pve cleft!"

How National Banks are Started.

An association of gentlemen in
an Eastern State raised 100000 in
currency. They went to the office
of the Register of the Treasury and
exchanged their currency for three
hundred thousand dollars in six per
cent. gold bearing bonds. They
then went to the Office OF the Comp
troller of the Currency in the same
building, organized a national bank,
deposited their 100000 in bonds,
and received for their bank $270,
600 in national bank currency.
They had let the government have
$4,000 in currency more than they
had received for banking purposes,
and had on deposit 100000, on
which they received as interest from
the government $4,000 a year in
gold (and exempt from taxation }.
This was pretty good financiering
for these banks to receive $4,000
a year in gold on the 100000 in
currency which they had just loaned
to the government. But this is not
the whole story. They had their
bank made special depository. They
soon discovered that there was
scarcely ever less than a million
dollars of government money de-
posted within their vaults. They
did not like TO see this vast sum lie
idle. They therefore took 81, 1,OoO,-
coo of this government money and
bought $1,OOO,OOO of five twenty
bonds with it. In other words,
they loaned $1,0OO,OOO of the gov
ernment's own money to the govern
ment, and deposited the bonds re-
ceived in the vaults of their bank,
on which they received from the
same government 100000 year in
gold az interest. Thus for their
$4,000 in currency which they
originally loaned the government,
they received annually in all $751;
600 in gold.

Beautiful thoughts.

Vows made in storms are forgot
ten in Gains.
There are strings in the harp Of
every life, though covered with dust,
that give out music when the wings
of truth stir the air.
Don't live a single hour of your
life without doing exactly what
ought to be done in it, and going
right strait through it from begin
ming TO end.
No man ever sank under the bur
den of to-day. 1t is when to.mor-
rows burden is added to the burden
of to day that the weight becomes
more than a man can bare.
We should no more lament that we
have grown old than the husband
man, when the bloom and fragrance
has passed away, should lament that
summer or autumn has come.
Bad luck is simply a man with
his hands in his pockets and pipe in
his mouth, looking on to see how it
will come out. Good luck, is a man
of pluck, with his sleeves rolled up
and working TO make it come out
right.

Henry Watterson has not forgot
ten that he was in Congress, and
still continues to think that the
Electoral Comission was about the
bettermost thing that could be done
under the circumstances. If Tilden
had had more courage he might
have been President. He let the
thing drop out of the hands of the
country into the hands of the COM
mission, and the inevitable followed.
Yet Mr.. Watterson thinks that on
the whole the Democrats have
gained more by defeat than they
would By victory, and that the Re
publicans have lost more by victory
than they would by defeat. Henry
is a good deal of a philosopher
when he settles down with square
grip on subject.

Huntsville (Ala.) Indopondous.

There is a remarkable instance OF
confusion of mothers on Mr.. Thorn
as Whites place, in Eastern part Of
Huntsville. A flock of young part
ridges are following a turkey hen,
and upon her call will gather about
her and nestle beneath her wings.
just like she was their real parent.
They 1y up TO the limb and roost
with her at night They are not
gentle and hide in theEgrass upon
the approach Of any person; when
she sounds her call. just such as
she would give TO a brood Of young
turkeys, the little quails come
trooping towards her. IL Is not
known how the thing started,
but it is supposed that a partridge
had laid in the same nest with the
turkey and the latter took posses
sion and hatched the young birds.

The workingmen Of Nashville
have determined TO follow the ex-
ample of their Louisville brethren
and run an independent ticket for
municipal offices. The same course
is being attempted in Cincinnati.
We regret these movements because
their effect is TO isolate a cause in
which the great mass Of the people
are interested. The fight against
the despotism of capital, the ten
dency of national legislation TO es-
tablish an oligarchal government In
the interest Of a moneyed aristoc-
racy, is one IN which the whole
body of the people are concerned,
and hence such movements as that
contemplated by the Nashville work
ingmen are TO be deplored. The
Democratic party is the only organ
ization that offers success against
the money power, and sooner or
later the workingmen will sec and
appreciate the fact. The Demo-
cratic Ohio platform is the key note
of success and should rally laboring
men everywhere.-Jaekson Tribune.

The Early Rising DeIusiOn.

For farmers and those who live
in localities where people can retire
at eight or nine o'clock in the even
ing, the old notion about early ris-
ing 10 still aupr0PriaUe. But he who
is kept up till ten or eleven or twelve
O'Clock, and then rises at five or six,
because of the teachings of some
old ditty about "early to rise" is
committing a sin against his own
soul. There is not one man in ten
thousand who can afford to do with
out seven or eight hours sleep. All
the stuff written about the great men
who slept only three or four hours
night is apocryphal. They have
been put upon such small allow
ances occasionally and prospered
but no man ever yet kept healthy
in body and mind for a number OF
years with less than seven hours
sleep. If you can get to bed early,
then rise early; if you cannot get TO
bed till late, then rise late. 1t may
be as proper for one man to rise at
eight as it is for another to rise at
five. Let the rousing bell be rung
at least thirty minutes before your
public appearance. Physicians say
that sudden jump out of bed gives
irregular motion to the pulses. 1t
is barbarous to expect children to
land on the centre of the floor at the
call of their nurses, thermometer be-
low zero. Give us time after you
call us, to roll over, gaze at the
world full in the face, and look be

Fust thing 8ou know he is in bed

what he wants up thar is mistry-
and he invites himself to breakfast
and sets down in your butter thout

He helps hisself to sugar, and
meat, and melasses, and Dred, and
persurves, and vinegy, and don't
wait for no invertashun. He is got
a good appytite and just as sune eat

for taking liberties; he keeps up

of the dodginist kind. Every time
you slap, you don't slap him, but
slap yoself, and he zizzes and points
the hind leg of scorn at you, till he
aggrevates you to distrackshin.
He glories in lightin every pop

Not Remarkable.

A Massachusetts farmer says
"My cattle will follow me until 1
leave the lot and on the way up to
the yard in the evening, stop and
call for a lock of hay" Smithson
says there is nothing remarkable in
that. One day last week he went
into a barn yard in the country,
where he had not the slightest ac-
quaintance with the cattle, and an
old bull not only followed him till
he left the lot, but took the gate of
the hinges, and raced with him in
the most familiar manner possible.
Smithson says he has no doubt the
old fellow would have called for
something if he had waited a little
while, but he didn't like to keep the
folks waiting dinner, so he hung
one tail of his coat and a piece of
his pants on the bulls horns and
went into the house.-EX.

Sleepless people-and there are
many In America-should court the
sun. The very worst soporific is
laudanum, the very best is sun
shine. Therefore it is very plain
that poor sleepers should pass as
many hours of the day as possible
in the sunshine, and as few as pos
sible in the shade. Many women
are martyrs and do not know it.
They shut the sunshine out of their
houses and their hearts; they wear
wells, they carry Parasols; they do
all that is possible to keep off the
subtlest and yet the most potent in
huence which is intended TO give
them strength and beauty and
eheerfulness. Is it not time to
change all this, and so get roses
and color in our pale cheeks,
strength in our backs and courage
in our weak souls? The women of
America are pale and delicate.
They may be blooming and strong,
and the sunlight will be a potent
influence in this tran ansformation.
