Memphis Preparing.

Memphis evidently intends to prof.
1t by her sad experience of 1873 and
1879, and is now doing something to
prevent in the future terrible ravsges
of yellow fever. Reports say that
the city is cleaner now than it has
been for many year,; that over
twenty miles of sewer pipes have
been already laid, and that by the
FIRST of June over thirty miles will
have been laid, which will complete
the sewer system in view By the au-
thorities. In addition to the sewer
pipes some thirty miles of drain tiles
have been laid. Hundreds of old
buildings have been demolished, the
rubbish taken away, vaults have been
cleaned, the streets put in excellent
condition, and altogether a general
renovation throughout the city has
taken place.

The Road TO Poverty.

Be "clever fellow" 1t is the
incest thing in the world. While
your money lasts oil the dead beats
will laugh with you, and as soon as
IL 10 gone they will laugh at you,
which makes quite difference, as
you will fad.
Ifyou do not like this plan, or
have not money enough TO follow
it successfully, you can attain the
same end by loafng around waiting
for something to turn up. This will
take some time longer, but then you
can afford to wait for starvation. II
you want to hurry mp matters, you
can waste q good deal OF money on
tobacco and cigars, and to some
extent injurs your health.
But the great specific that rarely
fails to bring not only poverty, but
also crime, disease and shame, is to
drink Intoxicating liquors. 1t does
not matter how you begin; consult
your own taste as to that. Vino,
cider, beer, whisky, its all one-no
matter where you begin, you will
end With gin or whisky and the
gutter.
This plan has many and peculiar
advantages. As soon as you are
known to be in the b I of taking
Intoxicating liquors, n matter bow
small the quantity, men will begin
to suspect you, and in short time
cease to trust you, and then il you
have not already accumulated pro-
perty, you cannot. So, you will
have more time, and can drink
more, go down faster and faster, and
in few years die pauper.
