boy. else can't live in this rect in any
peace. It must be, sooner or later, and
you'd better let me have it out now and
be done with it. just you coup stairs and
please don't interfere"
What ought 1 to have done under the
circumstances really have never been
able to decide, but his peremptory manner
was too much for me. I shut the front
door, saw Willie disappear. and then ran
hurriedly up to the third story back room,
and put my fingers in my ears to shut out
the diabolical uproar which welcomed his
return. 1t was some time before l ven
tured down again. When descended I
found Willie on the lounge in the library,
rather flushed in face, and scraggy as to
the state Of his hair, but apparently whole
and unframed, peacefully reading his IA
vorite volume, 1.-THE History of the Uni
ted States" No words were exchanged
between us on the subject, but he never
had any trouble IN the streets after that
eventful morning.
The finer qualities that were sometimes
obscured in the past clustering boyhood,
SO that only the one sympathetic eye of
motherhood could discern them, begin to
shine out now clearly visible even to in
tolerant critics. There is thus consola-
ton, even though it be feeble, in the loss
of the boy, in the promise Of the man who
may one day rise from his ashes.-Abby

A BOYS OBITUARY.

My boy is no more. Nothing can bring
him back again and the future holds out
no hopes of his return. 1t is time that
has borne him away from me, and of all
the forces of the universe none is so grim
and unalterable as time. Let it not be in
ferred that my boy has departed this life.
In his new state of existence he still in
habits this mundane sphere, hale and
hearty scion of Young America. But he
exists under new conditions
have been going over in my memory
some of the characteristics from earliest
baby hood when, a small morsel of human
ity, he first began to toddle about and get
himself into mischief. The Protean vari-
ETY. Of his mischief was never rlvalled in
history or fable. Pandora's box Is a weak
invention beside his teeming brain. But
less varied even were his exploits than his
explanations and reasons for all his actions
from the moment that speech first unlock
ed his exuberant Imagination. If there
was anything in which he was precocious
it was in giving reasons and framing an
swers. Like other mothers I was con-
stantly being pushed to the wall by ques-
tons about the why's and wherefores of
everything but unlike most Others was
| spared the trouble of answering, for be-
fore could open my lips for reply my
interlocutor had usually solved his own
riddle. AS when at four years he first saw
FREELY and cried eagerly. 'What makes
them shine2" And while was framing
an answer WHICH wonld best conceal my
own ignorance and satisfy curiosity he had
answered in tone of dogmatic satisfac-
ton, ''Oh. know They have fire instead
of blood"
While my slower BRAIN digested this.
came the next question, ''What are fire.
flies good for ?'' followed by ready an
swer, 81 guess they are for candles to light
teads and catterpilla.s to bed.'
The spirit that animated the boy was
still very similar to that which had moved
! the child from the cradle. The same fer
tility in mischief. displayed in broader
fields and wider range; the same dispesi-
ton to rule over and keep in absolute sub.
lection that weaker vessel whom Nature
had made his mother; the same argumen-
tative powers which kept the feminine
mind constantly pushed to the extremity
III all word-encounters. He was thus a
perpetual puzzle as to the line or action 1t
was expedient to follow, and l often retir-
cd in dismay before the question, "What
shall do with that boy2
Sometimes he came to the rescue and
himself prescribed the means tor his re-
cevery; as on that occasion when he ran
away after breakfast and did not return

READ AaRIcULTURE.-Young man,
before beginning to read law. medicine or
theology, ask Yourself if it would not bs
better to read agriculture and practice it..
Are not the so-ealled learned professions
crowded to their utmost capacity? Is
there not more inviting field open before
you than a learned lawyer, divine or docr
tori To attain distinction in any of these
professions you will, rnoat likely, have to
go through thr starving process for several
years, and to labor harder than any Tar
mer lahors. Think of these things. II
you don't think OF them now you win
think Of them often before you make a
living by your profession. -Anericors Ag-

IN TEETH OF FATE.

Let us sit in our darkening weather
Dear Heart! alone together
F L awhile,
And talk it over bravely,
Nav, lift me tup hat white, sweet smile;
Well face what is coming bravely OF gravely,
But cannot BIS that smile.
No, I did not say the dying,
But those departing, flying
Far away
Smile SO. Come little nearer!
Icau better think what had to say.
My darling, My darling! Stay nearer, be dearer!
Wen talk some other day.

A WOMAN's DEATH WOUND.

1t left upon her tender flesh no trace,
The murderer is safe. As So lift as light
he weapoa fell, aud, in the summer night,
Did sea- ce the silent dewy a displace.
tn a, bu. word. A blow had been less base.
Like dumb beast branded bya.. iron white
With heat she turned in blind and helpless flight,
But then remembered, and with piteous face
Came back
Since then, the world has nothing missed
In her in voice or Sill lie. But she-each day
She counts until her dying be complete.
One moan she makes, and ever doth repeat
"Oh lips which had loved ana kissed and kissed
Did deserve to die this bitterest way?"
From, "a Mosque of Poets"

ACCORDING to the Cincinnati E,,quirer's
Washington correspondent there is quite a
difference of opinion between the national
and congressional Democratic committees as
to the conduct of the next campaign. The
national committee, with Barnum. of Com
nectIcut, at its head, wants to run the cam
palgn In the interest of Mr.. Tildep. The
congressional committee, with Wallace. of
pennsylvania, at its head, wants to run If in
the interest of Thurman. The fight between
these two committees on this point was hot
ana unrelentlng. Neither would yield, and
the debate at times got high. After num-
Der OF meetings and hours and hours of de-
batting and discussing and conferripp. both
committees have agreed that they cannot
agree, and compromised the matter by divid-
ing to form new committee of ten. to con.
sisJ CT five members from each of the old
committees. This new committee Is to have
headquarters at Washington, and to have
general supervision of the campaign, but il
must light it cut between itself as to whether
1t will support Tilden- or Thurman or some
other man. This is really stated to be the
present status of the fight. The question
Will be discussed in ectenso at the conference
u the national committee called TO meet at |
washington at an early day. In the mean
lime 1t would be just as well for these COM
nltteemen to remember that they cannot
tock convention for either Thurman mr.
uden' or for that matter any other man.
he day has passed when Democrats will
'mely submit to be sold by either a Wallace
/ a Barnum.

IaIPROVEmEN OF THE MIssIs-
8IPPI.

The bill which passed congress for care
ful examination Of the Mississippi river from
Alton to the mouth, with the sole view of
ascoEtaining what Improvements are needed,
and the best means by which to make these
improvements, has created a howl from those
who oppose any appropriations for the south,
and who seem to think that the government
Is instituted solely for the benefit of the
north. The opposition to the Mississippi
commission Is based upon false premises. 1t
Is argued that congress has undertaken to
correct the mistakes of Jehovah in regard to
the Mississippi river. The Chicago Times
says that 1t is the intention of the solid south
to build a wall Of granite forty feet wide and
seventy feet high on both sides of the river
to the gulf, the cost Of which will bankrupt
the national treasury. The st. LouisR epu5-
lieaH makes the following answer to this alb
surdity: There Is no more probability of a
granite sea wall than Of the mortgages
being lifted from Chicago; but there is a very
strong probability, we are glad to say, that
the river will be put in first.class
condition under the supervision and at
the expense of the Federal government.
The sohd south has no more interest in the
enterprise than the solid north. The Mlssis-
slppi is not sectional, but nationals and, as
national property, the nation must take care
of 1t. The Impudent inconsistency of the
Illness argument will appear when we re-
member that the northern lakes, in which the
south certainly has no direct interest, have
drawn millions upon millions of dollars from
the public treasury, without any protest on
the part of southern taxpayers. Yet when
these taxpayers ask for appropriations in be- |
half of river which runs from north to |
south through the very heart of the CONT
nent and which is worth more to the coun-
Try than all the lakes put together, with Chi
cago thrown in, they are pelted with abuse
and insult, and told to 90 about their bust
ness. This game Of bluff has been played |
long enough, and the west and south are de-
it shall be played no longer. Will
.ingly or unwilhngly the north and east must
through the Federal government,
for the thorough and permanent improve
nent Of the Mississippi"

and wood third; but, then, the stone must
be OF the very best quality or it will sink into
the second place, making asphalt the first.
In hrst cost of laying, wood comes cheapest

and the cost Of maintenance and repairs are
taken into consideration then wood becomes

"The Pulvermacher Electric Belt is recon-
mended to general use for the following rea-
sons: First, for its wonderful properties for
the cure of diseases of the kidneys, stomach,
liver and blood; secondly, for its extreme
simplicity, and the fact of its being applied
outside, precludes all possibility of any in
jury being done to the patient, as an external
remedy is universally acknowledged TO be
safe. Another advantage is the facility with
which the progress of the disease and cure
can be watched, and if the Belt be not quite
in the right place, it can be very easily read
iusted so as to cover the parts affected. The
Pulvermacher Electric Belt, and its perfec-
ton, has been hailed with delight, not only
by the sufferers who have regained health,
enjoyment, and new lease of life through
its beneficent qualities, but by the medical
profession, who very frequently prescribe its
