"Oh, | see an advertisement T.

mo, not an advertisement. We
prefer to have it 60 in the local
column" replied the manager.
Seeing that the editor looked
skeptical, he continued:
at will interest a great many Of
your readers, and help a good
cause besides we have spent so
much money getting up our en-
tertainment that we can't afford to
advertise it without increasing the
price of the tickets. In such o
matter as this, We ought to be will
ing to help each other"
"Well," said the editor, elf it
goes into the locals, | suppose you
would reciprocate by reading a
little notice in your church next
Sunday y
The visiting brother asked what
notice, and the editor wrote aud
handed him the following:
"The weekly Chronicle, for the
coming year, will be the best and
cheapest family paper in Maine.
Its proprietor has had much en-
perience, and has all the helps
which large outlay of money can
procure. His paper has a larger
circulation than any other publish
ed in the country, and is to be
furnished at only two dollars. 1t
is certain that no one can spend
that amount to a better advantage.
Be sure to take the Chronicle, and
subscribe for your friends"
The manager hemmed and hest
tated, and then said, solemnly,
that he doubted whether it would
be judicious to read snch a notice,
but suggested that if it was printed,
copies of it might be distributed at
the door Of the vestry on the even
ing of the entertainment"
EYES," said the editor, "but it
would attract more attention in the
middle of q sermon. 1t will inter-
est a large number of your congre-
cation and help good cause, and
besides so much money is spent up
on the Chronicle that ! don't see
how the owner can afford to print
handbills to advertise it without in
creosing the subscription price. In
such a matter as this, We ought to
be willing 10 help each other"
The gentleman saw the situation,
and went straight out, without
leaving so much as compliment
tary ticket.

He Came Back.

Governor Duval, of Florida, was
the son of a poor Vnginian, a stern,
strong taciturn man. The boy was
huge youth of fifteen. At the
cabin fire, at bed time, according
to the custom Of putting a back
log on the fire, the old man said,
between the whiffs of his silent
pipe:
Tab, go out and bring in that
gum back log, and put it on the
fire !"
Tab went out and surveyed the
log. He knew it was of no use en-
planning that it was too heavy, nor
prudent for him TO return without
having it on his shoulder. His lit
tie sister was not surprised that he
requested her to bring out the gun
aud powder horn, as a possum or
coon might have passed, or the
brother might have seen bear
signs. She brought the gun and
Tab started. He found the way
through the woods into Kentucky.
in 1871. After an absence of
eighteen years he was elected to
Congress. A man Of immense size
and strength, 1T started for Wash
ington. going by the way of bis old
home, to see the folks who had long
since given him up for dead. En-
tering the little cabin door near
led time, he saw the Identical gum
log. He shouldered it, pulled the
latch string, and with his load stood
before the old man, pipe in mouth,
as quiet as usual.
"Here is the gum back log, faith
en-"
"Well, you've been a long time
getting it--put it on the fire aud
go to bed" was the reply.
