Grew the Wood for His Coffin.

A remarkable story is told of the late
Captain Stone, of Moundsville, who was
buried recently. Thirty-fve years ago
he came from New Orleans to Mounds
vile to make his home, and brought
with him two seeds of a mahogany ike
tree that fourished near his former
home. These he planted, remarking to
his family that he would have his coffin
made from the tree. One of the seeds
died, but the other fourished and grew
From a shoot it became a sapling, and
finally, in the course of thirty years,
grew to fine tree. About eight months
ago a severe wind storm passed over
Moundsville, and Captain found his
tree laid PROSTATE. He had it dried,
sawed into lumber and sent to Pitts
burgh firm. In a short time it was
returned to him in the shape of 8
beautiful coffin, and for four months it
was preserved in his residence. About
two weeks ago he contracted q sickness
that eliminated in his death, and his
desire being fulfilled, he was laid away
in the coffin he planted thirty. five years
ago. Wheeling Reqister.

a Compromise.

A citizen driving in on the Holden
road the other day met lad about
twelve years old on the highway some
six or seven miles from the city. The
boy had shotgun as long as himself,
but no game, and the citizen inquired ::
"Out for hunt?"
"I was out for hunt" was the reply.
"And haven't you killed anything?'
"Well, no."
"And you don't expect to?"
" Not unless I kin git within striking
distance. You see, two of us came out
together. After we got out here | want.
ed to hunt for lions and the other boy
wanted to shoot ostriches and so we
divided up. He took the powder and
shot and l took the gun. Pm over here
looking for turnips and he's over in that
field watching holler log fer bears.

when the Bowels are DfsOrdered.

No time should be lost in resorting to a suit
able remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the most reliable and widely esteemed medi-
cine of its class. 1t removes the causes Of con-
stipation, or Of undue relaxation of the intes-
tines, which are usually indigestion, or a mis-
direction OF the bile. When it acts as q ca
thartic, it does not grippe and violently erscu-
uate, but produces gradual and natural fleets
very unlike those Of drastic purga I'VE; and
its power Of assisting digestion nulIifes those
irritating conditions Of the mucous membrane
OF the stomach and intestinal canal which pro-
duce first diarrhPa and eventually dysentery
The medicine Is, moreover, an agreeable one
and eminently pure and wholesome. Appetite
and tranquil nightly slumber are both promot-
ed by it.

HONEYSUCKLE.

How fair they were my daTlings twain
Who walked adown the grassy lane
That sultry August day:
Unconscious of the gracious charm
IN noated round them, srm-in-arm
They wandered on their way.
One wore her raven tresses low,
CIlse-braided DER brow of snow,
Like some grand Roman dame:
Hers we're those luminous, large ewes.
From whose dark depths strange CLEANS arise
And break in sudden flame
Around her sisters gentler face
The brown halr rppled, tender grace
Was in her form and look:
4 wiId-roSe color on her cheek
Brown loving eyes, centented meek,
And GEAR as summer brook.

And heard their laughter hoatiHg free,
Through idle, happy hours;
saw them gather by the way
The struggling clusters, sweet and gay,
OF honeysuckle flowers.
I watched them wave their scented spoil,
In eager haste, with playful toll,
And laughter trimming
They twined il on my faded brow.
Au, Heavenl L have that garland now,
A sacred, mournful prize
Was it because they were my own,
I fanciei even their lightest tone
More eet than other sound?

Could fairer things be found2

Or were my darlings fair above

But this know, 'twixt them and me
Rolls yet the awful. tideless sea
That parts their world from this;
And well 1 know that where they are,
There is no need Of sun or star,
Ner need OF mothers kiss.

Where may see my daughters stand,

A Wise Legislator.

he is successful because he has the manly
courage to rise above all personal motives or
interests and cast his vote and influence on the
side of measures which viii contribute to the
Well-being of his fellow-men. The good Of the
many, even though it proves injurious to the
interest Of the few, is the maxim of the wise
legislator. But certain men will never ADMIT
the wisdom of this doctrine, any more than
some selfish private practitioners Will admit the
superlatiye value of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
because these remedies have injured the ir
practice. OF course, no man in bis right
senses will pay physician $500 for a consul
tstion, bottle of bitters, few powders, and
| s prescription, when one bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and a bottle of his
Pleasant Pmgstiye Pellets, both costing but
SI25, will accomplish the same result, viz:
cleanse the liver and blood, regulate and tone
the stomach, and impart healthful action to
the bowels and kidneys.
