A Girl renmster In Boots.

For several months, among the many
wood.choppers working for tho railroad
company at and in the vicinity oil Poplar
Bluff, there has been one, n trim,svery
smooth.facod fellow, especially noticeable.
He was popular with all his associates,
owing. perhaps, to his boyish ways and
his straightforward bearing. He did not
indulge in tho use OF intoxicating liquors,
and night after night, as the men were
grouped around the campfire, his CHEEKY
Voice, as he sang the rude ballads OF his
COMPANIONS, made the forest ring. About
ten DAYS since he fell q victim to the chills
and fever, and while dolirious his attend.

object OF suspicion and curiosity. Unable

How DEMOCRATS SUPPORT ORGANS IN
LITTLE RnoDY.-The address OF the dem
ocratic state central committee complains
that "the democratic party of Rhode
Island is ut present without ar able organ
in which the interests OF the party might
be defended and advanced from day TO
day" Democratic newspapers have been
peculiarly unfortunate in this state. The
Providence Herald sunk 10000 in five
years its owner went into bankruptcy,
and its creditors, with characteristic
Rhode Island generosity, let him off with
out payment OF n cent, although they
might have managed to squeeze a few
thousand dollars out Of him. The kind OF
support tho Herald got is best illustrated
BY a story told by Mr.. Walter p. Phillips,
formerly editor and business manager OF
the Herald. Walter went out TO Chcpachet,
the democratic stronghold, to collect some
ancient subscription bills. He interview
ed an old farmer, n steady reader and nd.
mirer OF the Herald, and OF its predecessor,
the Post. Walter presented n bill for
eight years OF Herald and Post. The old
farmer was first amazed, then indignant.
He put on'his spectacles, scrutinized the
bill, and after assuring himself that It was
genuine, he exclaimed: "1'vc bin sup.
portin' this yorc paper for nigh onto eight
year, and | never had no such thing at
that flung nj me before. I'll stop support
in it." He not only withdrew his
valuable support, but failed to pay the bill.
This incident may serve to cnlighten the
democratic state central committee rs to
why the Rhode Island democracy is with
out an organ.-Proridnce Correspondence

How He Was Induced 10 Wear Whiskcrs.
From the indianapolis Journal.
The history has just come to light OF q
pleasing little incident in which Abraham
Lincoln was an actor. More than q year
ago, from an Incidental remark made by a
gentleman who was visiting the Lincoln
monumental Springfield MIR. John G. Pow
er Of that city was induced to make inqui'
ry c~oncerninga lady who, 1t was said, had
in 1850, being then q little girl, written to
Mr.. Lincoln advising him to let his beard
grow. Tho story ran that the little girl
lived in Westdeld, n. Y, and that when
Mr.. Lincoln was on his way to Washing;
ton after his election she wa introduced
to him at that place; presented him with q
bouuet and received a kiss in return. MIR.
Power, desiring to ascertain the facts,
wrote 10 MI, G. w. Patterson OF Westlicld,
| who replied corrobonting the story. He
| witnessed the incident at Wcsttield, and
remembered that the little girl was then
about 10 years old; but he added that her
father had moved away, and he had never
heard from him since. The inquiry was
pursued and resulted In the discovery
that the little girl was Miss Grace Bedell;
but that she had married, her present
name being Mrs. Billings, and her resi-.
dence in Ottawa county Kansas. MIR. Pow
err having obtained the lady's address
wrote to her stating that he was the custo-

This Is the season when autumn leaves
are in order; when the yellow foliage OF
the hickory, the red brown Of the oak, and
the crimson OF the naples are gathered to
give us their brightness in the coming dark
days. 1t is rather late for ferns, though
many people prefer to gather them after
the early frosts have touched them with
white and brown, thinking both that they
keep better and are prettier then and COM
bining more effectively with leaves. We
have written at length OF their uses, which
are almost infinite for purposes OF decor

ferns, leaves and grasses mixed together
are most effective. Window Transparent

have been previously dried and pressed,
are arranged on it in a wreath, and tasten-

Hon. G. W. Patterson OF Westield was

election. On his way tho p~residcnt-elect
asked him il hc knew n family bearing

in the affirmative, Mr.. Lincoln mentioned
that no had received a letter from a little
girl "adyising me TO wear whiskers, us she
thought it would improve my looks, and!

When the train reached Westield Mr..
Lincoln made u short speech from tho
platform OF the car, and concluded by say.

The Hole in the Top of the Pocket

If person loses little change, door
key, pen knife or some other trifles
through q hole in the bottom of his pocket.
he feels more annoyed at his own careless.
ness in not discovering the hole than at his
loss. Yet there is many man who suffers the
inconvenience and embarrassment OF poverty
in consequence OF an enormous opening in
his pocket, and he goes on from day to day.
from week to week, from month to month,
and year to year-from boyhood to age
without ever discovering the source of his
misery, orreflecting that the opening might
be made smaller. The reason is that this
opening is in the top instead of the bottom
Of the pocket.
This hole in the top OF the pockets always
open. The draught through it is something
enormous. The attraction of gravitation, it
is true, cannot operate through it; but the
frequent insertion OF the owners hand makes
up for the deficiency.
Keeping this opening in the top Of the
pocket prudently closed, or permitting it to
be too much and too often extended. in ones
youth, makes the difference in after life, and
in old age, between dependence and indie
pendenee, between poverty and wealth.
1t becomes very important thing fer ev
cry young man to keep sharp lookout for
this hole in the top of the pocket. A thous-
and insidious attacks upon his substance are
made through it. A firm resolution and an
established system are absolutely requisite
to regulate its outgoes. Many man who
could command any army has never been
able to proportion his own expenses to his
income. It is said that Gen. Sherman has
made an invariable rule through life to keep
his expenses down less than his receipts;but
it has very likely taxed his resolution and
self control more severely than all his mill
tary exploits.
We hear great deal about swindlers and
thieves and robbers and burglars; but where
one man is ruined or injured by these, a
thousand are ruined or injured by the toe
ready and too frequent insertion OF theil
own hands in their own pockets through the
opening at the top. We warn the young mer
that in closing this opening the old adag,
emphatically applies, "a stitch in time save
nine. ''-Bonner's Ledger.
