A Brokers Mhim.

A Paris broker, a self-made man, who had known the struggles of poverty in his young days, had an old time-piece over his bed when he breathed his last a few weeks ago. When he was boy he used to say to himself : "When you are rich you will buy picture clock repre- senting hamlet with its church and in the steeple clock and at the foot of the village railroad with train in full motion, and on one side the sea, with ships sailing by." All these things were made to work by machinery in the clock which the rich banker bought. The train whistled and ran along the line, and the ships were tossed in the sea !; and the key which set them in motion was carried in the old gentleman's 8 pocket. The clock had the place of honor in hls drawing room, surrounded by paintings which cost their weight in gold, and there it remained for years. His wife and children did not like it. They laughed at it. They could not un- derstand his whim. They did not know of all the old dreams which that picture awakened in him. His friends laughed at him for letting it remain in the draw ing-room. So he took it into his own room. Whenever he wanted to renew his youth he would wind up the old clock, and then the steeple would chime the sea roar, the ships toss backwards and forwards, and he would feel as happy as in the old days when he used to dream about the wonderful treasure.

Annetita A Neceaaitx.

Appetite is Q necessity. Without 1t, suff- cient food is not received into the stomach either to nourish the system, or to give the stimulus to the bowels which they require. Both these organs and tho liver become tor pid in consequence, and the blood grows poor in quality and quantity. Improve the agPe- tite, therefore, and avoid such results. This is most effectually done with Hostetter't Stomach Bitters, a tonic appetizer and altera' tive without peer. It gives not only an un. wonted zest for food, but enables the stomach to digest and the system to assimilate it Flatulsnce, heartburn, nausea, and every other concomitant of indigestion, are removed by it. as are also biliousness and constipation Each nerve and fibre of the body is made tc jingle with health by its use, and it is tht leading remedy for dependency.

THAT LOAN AaAN.-A applied to B tor loan of $100. B replied My dear A, nothing would suit me better than to oblige you, and I'll do it. I haven't $1OO by me, but you can make a note and I'll indorse it, and you can get the money from the bank" Grateful A proceeded at once to write a note. "Stay," said B, "make it $20O. Iwant $1OO myself" A did so, B indorsed the paper, the bank discounted it, and the money was divided. When the note was due B WIS in California, and A had to meet the payment.

'S Can't Rub it Out.''

Don't write there" said father to his son who was writing with diamond on the window.
 Why not?"
 Because you can't rub it out.'
 Did 1t ever occur to you, my child, that you are daily writing that which you can not rub out ? You made cruel speech to your mother the other day. It wrote itself upon her loving heart and gave her pain. It is there now and hurts her when she thinks of it.
 You can't rub it out.
 You wished wicked thought one day in the ear of your playmate. It wrote itself on his mind and led him to do a wicked act. It is there now.
 You can't rub it out
 All your thoughts, all your words, all your acts are written on the book of memory. Be careful, the record Is very lasting.
 You can't rub it out.

Go into my barn yard and go to work, and I'll make it all right with you."

CANNING STuFF.-One of these days the English plum pudding will be made and canned in America, and sent across the ocean. Already an enterprising firm of Yankees is putting up boneless ham in cans for domestic and foreign markets During the past few months it has been preserving large quantities of poultry, which Is canned ill the same style as pressed beef, the fowls being boned and chopped up. Lately, it has, with com plete success, accomplished the feat of canning turkeys entire, with every bone removed. From boned turkey to chicken and veal-pies is only short step, and then will come the British birthright- the Christmas pudding-made, seasoned and canned by down-east Yankees, say, about the 4th of July.

A Duck Story.

Some time ago MT. Robert Williams, near thls place, says the Owen GIL ) Ne,Os, heard one of his wife's ducks making a noise as if something were after it; he got out of bed and went to where she was, but could not see or hear anything. He told his wife he guessed the duck had gone crazy. Next morn ing he went to where the old duck was sitting upon her eggs, under a brush pile, and-imagine his astonishment- he saw large black snake coiled ur under the duck, his snakeship having swallowed twelve eggs. Mir. Williams cut its head off, cut it open, took the eggs and placed them under the duck and eleven of that dozen eggs matched MT. Williams word is as good as hi bond.

Virginia Hams.

The delicacy of Virginia mast-fed hams is we'll known their excellence arises from two or three distinct causes. One of these IS the health of the pigs an- other is the fact that, during much of the year, it is ''root, hog, or die!" and then, when the woods are full of chest nuts, chinquapins, acorns and other mast, they pick up a living very easily and fatten up ittle-enough to make their flesh juicy and tender before kill ing time and another case undoubtedly is that this food is sweet, wholesome, and both it and they far removed from their ordure. If it be really true that for this wild life, the native hog is the most economical producer of pork, and that the pork is of the best quality, it is time that we knew it, and it would pay some body to undertake the demonstration.

MT. Thomas Hale, living near Hales- boro, Red River county, Texas, was standing in front of his fireplace with his little child in his arms. Suddenly 8 flash of lightning came and he was knocked down, and he and his little one both fell into the fire.

Its clothes were burned off and it was fatally hurt. On the same day, and about a mile from MT. Hale's, MT. Webster and his family were sitting in his house in conversation.
