Fill Lives with Sweetness.

Do not keep the alabastsr boxes OF
your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak approx
ing, cheering words while their ears
can hear them and their hearts be
thrilled by them. The things you
mean to say when they are gone say
before they so. The ajwers you send
to their collins, send them to brighten
an sweeten their homes before they
leave them. II my friends have ala
baster boxes laid away full OF perfume
OF sympathy and affection which they
intend TO break over my deal body, l
would rather that they would bring
them out in my weary hours and open
them. that l may be refreshed and
cheered by them when l neeI them.
L would rather have bare coflia
without a 1)wer, anil funeral with
out an eulogy. than life without the
sweetness OF love and sympathy.
Let us learn to aanoint our friends
beforehand for their burial. Post
norton kindnesses do not cheer the
bur,lenea spirit. Flowers on the
coffin cast no fragrance backward
over the weary days.-Yonkers (NY)

A Thought on Future RetributIon.

Whatever Henry Ward Bescher or
any one else may think, or theorize,
concerning the doctrine OF future re-
tribution, certain ii is that nature
is an uncompromising believer in its
certainty and justice. Do yourself
the wilful injury of violating the con-
ditions OF health, her retribution Is
sure and often apparently far ex-
ceeding in proportion the sin. Late
hours, irregular meals, oversating,
excess OF all kinds, are followed by
"liver complaint" dyspepsia, and
sympathetic disorders OF the brain.
La women the same excess, augment
ell by the wearing OF tight or INSULT
cient clothing, the suspension OF
heavy skirts from the hips, etc, in
yariably produce those weaknesses
and diseases peculiar to the sex.
Repeated attacks OF cold, due to ex-
posture, inevitably produce catarrh.
and in some cases consumption. The
liberal party have no argument in
their favor in the fact that DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines are sure and eff
cient remedies for these retributive
diseases. The Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant PuIgative Pei
lets, for the diseases OF the stomach
and liver, are unexcelled, while the
Favorite Prescription enjoys the
hi CHEST reputation OF all remedies for
female diseases and weaknesses.

Newspaper Wit.

There is much gen uine wit floating
In the newspapers. and much that is
bogus to the last degree. When the
Camden Post says: "a mans char
acter is like a fepce-you cannot
strengthen 1t by whitewash." it gives
a genuine epigram. Quite as felicit-

Breakfast Table: "A tack points
hsavenward when it means the most

The following Is Robert Burdette's
account OF the way he came to lecture:
Mrs. Burdette prompted me to it.
One day when she was lying helpless
she said she believed that IL those
fellows could make money could.
And SO she sat me down to write that
lecture; and from time to time re-
belled with tears and groans and
prayers. / told her / was too little;
that had no voice: that I couldn't
write afunny lecture anyhow. She kept

lecture in our hands, The Rise and

Was il Success.

Verify the wicked do sometimes
flourish like the "green bay-tree.
But their epdl Oh, their dreadful
end, az seen by the light Of Gods
truth!
Mr.. W. was regarded as a very sue
cessful Southern planter. He con
tinually added to the number Of his
acres, and OF his slaves, until his
possessions came to be a sort OF
kingdom in itself, in the midst OF
which he could say. with degree OF
truth, I'm lord OF all 1 survey"
50 much outward prosperity elated
him beyond measure. Nor did he
make an effort to conceal it. He was
wont often to parade what he re-
garded as his sharp commencement
in business. even to the disparaye-
ment of a pious mother.
According to his own story. his
mother had specially guarded him
against betting and indeed against
gambling ia any form. But. when
quite a ysung man, he attended a
horse race, where, among other
stakes. negro slave Wis set up. He
bet against this negro and won.
Then taking the premium OF his IN
filial conduct home. according to his
own version, he showed his mother
superior wisdom. And unlike most
men OF his ilk, Ia advanced age he
was able to look back-as with IN
holy pride he often did-oveI a life
OF continual property accommodations.
But what was the flnal result?
The war came on and swept away his
slaves. and everything movable,
leaving him with but the mere skele-
ton OF his former treasures. This.
however, was only the commence
ment of the reverse. He died
and as the fool dieth, without hope,
aud without God. He went before
his Judge, having gained much of the
world. but having lost his soul. Nor
was this all. He handed down his
evil character to his sons and heirs,
but failed TO bequeath to them his
great executive and financial ability.
SO they are not only goddess men, but
OF little use to themselves, as the d.
lapidated condition OF their farms
clearly show; OF no use to Others. and
of no use. so far as the completion OF
the grand destiny OF human life is
concerned.
Impeni:ent reader, ask, can you.

Dyspeptics.

Where can you find a more wretch

tic? Life has no charms for him:
the simple pleasures OF eating AMI
drinking have lost their zsst; he
views everything through smoke
colored spectacles; he Is lachrymose
and gloomy. Yet. in most cases. he
has only himself to blame for this
state of affairs. Who are the people
that are always talking about their
digestion and dyspepsia? Not sail
ors. nor agricultural laborers. nor
mechanics. nor boys and girls, nor.
for the most part. men: ia other
words, not those who live much in
the open air, and use their limbs and
muscles But who are the people
who are half afraid OF their meals,
and have miserably to consider what
shall we not eat, and what shall we
not drink? They are In door sort OF
people-tailors and shoemaksrs, mil
liners, clergymen, literary men. and
nervous fidgety people. who are al
ways worrying themselves. Then
there are people that weaken their
stomachs by things which they take
not only by too much beer aad
spirituous drinks. but by living toe
much on tea, and taking too much
tobacco. What can they expect but
dyspepsia? III men weaken their
stomachs with excessive work when
they are tired IL is natural that di

Josh Billings Advice to the "Qsire''
Singer.

The 1st thing to do to make a cool
quire singer is to giggle little. Put

build il up high upon your head;
then git high priced bunnet that
runs up verY high, at the high part OF
IL, and git tie milliner to plant some
high-grown artafishels onto the high
est part OF il. This will help you
sing high, as sophrano is the highest
part.
When the tune is give out, don't
pay attention 10 it. and then giggle.
Giggle a good sel.
Whisper to the girl next yon that
En-. Jones, which sets on the 81 sect
from the front on the left-haEd side,
has her bunnit with the same color
exact like she had last year. and then
put up your face and giggle.
Object TO every tune unless there
Is solow into it for the sophrana
Coff aud ham a good eel before you
begin to sing.
When you sing solow shake the
artahshels off your hunnit, and when
you come to a high tone brace your.
self back little, twist your head to
one side and open your mouth the
widest On that side. shet the eye on
the same side jet triple. and then
put in for dear life.

Risen From tie Ranks.

Not long since we set forth in this
column the chances for advancement
open even to the poorest boys in our
country. We contended that no boy
need to be discouraged, however
humble his position or unpromising
his surroundings. Though in other
countries the chances are not as
numerous, there are not wanting ia
stances OF great success springing
from humble beginnings. For a
striking instance, We refer to Nj. Jules
Grevy, the new President OF France.
Sixty years ago the new ruler OF
France was farmers boy in a dis
tant Province. Though humble, his
parents were not in need. lie lived
on coarse food. and was roughly clad.
Who could have foreseen that this
poor boy would rise to be the ruler OF
the great and powerful nation OF
which he and his family were such
Insignificant members? A fortune
teller who should have predicted that
this humble lad, ploddips to school in
coarse attire and wooden shoe,
would, one day, sit in the pace Of
Kings, would have been laughed at
or denounced as an inn ostor. Yet
the impossible has come to pass. and
the peasant boy Is the successor OF
Charlemagns. Was it luck? In part,
perhaps, for not every poor boy, how
ever hard he may work. can become
ruler Of men. But NJ. Grevy has
been more than lucky. From his
boyhood he has worked hard. In
every position he has acquitted HIM
self as we'll as he could. II was found
that any task committed to him was
sure to be we'll done. Yet his rise
was not rapid. Even at the age
OF forty his professionalism OF a
lawyer-paid him so poorly that he
added to his income by giving les
soma to students. But he was not
discouraged. He worked on, and
now, in his old age, the highest hon.
ors in the gift OF his country have
como to him. II is noteworthy that
NJ. Theirs, Marshal MacMahon's pred
eessor Ia Office, was also OF humble
extraction. His rise was more rapid,
but ended a. the same point.
Let our young readers. then, take
courage. Industry aud merit are
sure Of reward the world over. The
reward does not always come In the
same form. but in one way or anoth-
er good work 10 sure Of good wages.

Whether there are many kinds OF
farming that pay may be an open
question, but that there are very
many farm practices that don't pay
is beyond doubt. 1t don't say to
be caught at this time Of the year
without wood pile largo enough to
last twelve months: or to open the
gates and let y.ur stock into the fields
as sooh as few bare spots appear;
or to keep it on short atoms, so that
when it does GO to grass two months
from now. it will take half the sum-
mer to get it thrifty and strong.
1t don't pay TO leave the work OF
meniing your tools aud selecting and
securing your seed until the day you
want to use them. thereby causing
costly delay.
1t don't pay to SOW or plant poor
seed because you happen TO have it
on hand.
1t won't pay to plant more ground
than you can manure and take goo
care Of
1t don't pay to leave weak places
in the fences ia the hope that cattle
won't find them; and, il you keep
sheep. it don't pay to let them run at
large in the spring until they become
tramps and cannot be kept at home
by an ordinary fence.
1t don't pay to neglect cows, ewes
or sows.
IL don't pay to let the spring rains
wash the value out of the manure
that has accumulated in the barn
yard this winter.
1t don't pay to let the hens lay
under the barn, steal their nests and
be eaten mp by skunks.
1t don't pay to work with poor
tools of any kind.
1t don't pay to put Off any kind Of
spring work until the last moment.
nor does it pay TO work land when it
Is too wet.
It don't pay to leave turnips. cab
bages, beets, or even apples In the
cellar TO rot and breed disease; for, il
you have more than you can eat or
sell, the stock will be profited by
them.
1t won't pay to summer poor COW
simply because no one comes to buy
her.
1t don't pay to sell a heller calf
from your best COW to the butcher.
simply because it will cost more to
raise it than you can buy a scrub for
next fall.
1t don't pay to leave the banking
around the house until 1t rots the
sells.
II don't pay to b. stingy in sowing
grass seed, or 10 try to live without u
garden.
Finally, it don't pay to provoke the
women by leaving them to cut the
stove wood or to carry it in from the
dooryard, or to remind you every
morning in haying and hoeing that
you must saw enough before you go
to work to last through the day.

whole thing could be done under certain
law of Louisiana. Young Immediately
answered, stating that Horne's despatch
had been shown to Governor Hayes, and
was approved by him. The bargain was
contaminated. The filibustering ceased.
Hayes was counted in and inaugurated.
The terms of the bargain were fulfilled by
the recognition of Hampton and Nichols.

appointment in the treasury department
on account Of his important services, was

These facts settle it beyond q question
that Hayes bought the presidency by a
double bargain-l, by buying the electoral
votes of Florida and Louisiana, and paying
for them by federal Offices; 2, by buying of
the opposition of Southern Democrats by
pledge to recognize Hampton and Mich
oils and the Democratic state governments
of South Carolina and Louisiana. The
presidency was in the market, and Hayes
