AS Mr., Farr. the general agent for the
New Nanny Reaper, was exhibiting the
running quantities Of his machine to some
farmers on Monday, a small battalion of
dogs got to fighting in the street and
were run into, scooped up and raked off
behind the machine in fine style. The
dogs escaped without scarcely IA scratch.
1t is u great wonder that half dozen dog
legs were not left laying around loose, as
the sickle was running at a lively rate.

LIVER Is K1Na.-The liver is the
imperial organ of the whole human sys'
tenn, rs 1t controls the life, health and
happiness Of man. When it is disturbed
in its proper action, all kind of ailments
are the natural result. The digestion of
food, the movements of the heart and
blood, the action of the brain aud
nervous system arc all Immediately con-
nected with the workings Of the liver.
It has been successfully proved that
Green's August Flower is unequalled in
curing all persons affected with dyspepsia
or liver complaint, and all the numerous
symptoms that result from an unhealthy
condition of the liver aud stomach.
Sample bottles 10 cents. Positively sold

DOn't Talk Too Much.

Some of the young folks OF to-
day remind us of talking machines,
wound up. and apparently never
likely to run down. Now, l don't
mean to condemn talking entirely.
In fact, rather like to encourage
lit, where it is done within the
bounds of reason and propriety.
BIT some boys and girls talk all the
time, everywhere, and about every
thing. They won't even allow an
other to get word in edgeways.
There is a time to talk, and Il
time to keep still. Once in a while,
at any rate, chance should be Of
fered your friends to put in word
or two. When older people are
speaking, it would look well for
Youngsters to keep their mouths
shut. When some ore is reading,
lit is i'll manners to interrupt, to
call attention to trivial matters, of
no sense or interest. When an
other is speaking. wait until he or
she gets through before yon say
your say, and do not take the word
out of any ones mouth. 1t didn't
used to be SO in olden times, if our
grandparents tell the truth, and 1
don't see any good reason why it
should be 80 now. When two per-
sons ARE talking at once, to another,
it confuses the listener, and one
should not be surprised if he mis-
understands and gets things mixed.
1t is a difficult matter for a person
to fix his attention, perfectly, on
any two things, at once, and get
sense of it. There is bound to be
confusion.

The Rope Boy.

1t was one of the first days of
spring when a lady, who had been
watching by the sick bed of her
mother for some weeks, went ont
to take a little exercise and enjoy
the fresh air. She hoped that she
might hear bird sing, or see some
little wild flower which would speak
to her of her future hope, for her
heart was full of anxiety and sor-
row. After walking some distance
she came to a rope-walk. She was
quite familiar with the place and
entered. At one end of the build
lug she saw a little boy turning a
large wheel; she thought it too la
borious for such a child, and as
she came near she spoke to him.
"Who sent you to this place?
she asked.
"Nobody-I came myself"
'Does your father know you are
here?"
81 have no father"
"Are you paid for your labor?"
Eyes, l get ninepence day"
do you like this work ?"
"Well enough; but if l did not /
should do it, that l might get the
money for my mother. ;"
"How long do you work ?"
"From nine to eleven in the
morning, and from two till five in
the afternoon.
"How old are your"
Almost nine.
"Do you ever get tired turning
this great wheel ?"
eyes, sometimes"
"And what do you do then ?"
81 take the other hand"
The lady gave him coin.
SIS this for my mother ?" he
asked, looking pleased.
"No, it is for yourself"
"Thank you, maam." he said,
and the lady babe him farewell.
She went home strengthened in
her devotion to duty, and instruct
ed in true practical philosophy by
the words and example of little
child. "The next time that duty
seems hard to me" said she to her
self, Il will remember the child,
and take the other hand +"

A Sacred Ola Relic.

A colored man turned auctioneer
to work off two old stoves for q
dealer on Gratiot avenue. One
was sold without trouble, but as
the other ''held over" on him, he
mounted a barrel and began:
"Gemlem and women. dis yere
stove was once de property OF
George Washington"
A laugh of derision greeted his
statement Singing out the big
gest man in the crowd, the auc-
tioneer asked:
"Doan you believe that George
Washington once own dis yere
stove?"
"No, sir"
"Dat's de same as calling me a
liah, sab, and you'll have to chew
dem words, sab"
He jumped down and waltzed
over to the stranger, but was
knocked down in q York minute.
That was plenty for him, and after
feeling his head to see how much
of it was left, he mounted the bar
rel and called out:
How much do 1 hear for dis
yere stove, once the property OF
Gin'ral Grant! De stove dat
Washington owned n, was busted up
doorin' de war;"

The Little Folks Column.

Willie had purple monkey climbing
OH a yellow stick,
And when he sucked the paint all OF it
made him deadly sick;
And in his last hours he clasped that
monkey in his hand.
And bid goodbye to earth and went into
better land.
No more he'll shoot his sister with his
little wooden gun; -.
And no more he'll twist the pussy's tail
and make her you'll for fun.
The pussy's tail now stands out straight,
the gun is laid aside;
The monkey doesn't jump around since
little Willie died.
