The Folly

Of using mere stimulants finds it's punishment in headaches and disorders of the stomach, complaints which Hostetters Stomach Bit,ers is admirably calculated to remedy. This ster- ling tonic and regulating medicine invigorates the nerves, by restoring vigor to the organs most closely in sympathy with them, namely, the gastric organs, liver and bowels: health full impulse given to digestion is often the means of preventing serious and aggravated physical disturbance, and there are many prep arations which are advertised and recom- mended for this purpose, but among modern remedies none has achieved such 8 widespread and well earned reputation as the article re- ferred to. Physicians of eminence prescribe it, and the concurrent testimony of respectable persons of all classes and avocations, proves that it is every way worthy of the confidence generally reposed in it.

NEGRO PROVERBS. MT. Harris, in his Negro Folk Lore, gives 8 number of negro proverbs, some of which are excellent, as: "Meller mushmillion hollers at you from over de fence.

" "Moon may shine, but a lightered knots nightly handy" "Hit's mighty deaf nigger dat don't year de dinner hon.

A KINDLY AoT.-A quaint and tender little anecdote is told of Mrs. Lucretia Mott. The writer, when passing on the roadside one day the stone wall of her country home near Philadelphia, saw ranged on top of it rows of apples and pears. There had been more than enough on the trees for family needs,
 and the sweethearted old Quaker grand mother had placed these treasures on the wall for the stranger children who pass by. Mrs. Mott's sympathy for suf- fering was not thing of reflection. She not unfrequently in winter would remove some portion or her own warm clothing and throw it over half frozen woman who came begging to her door.

THE lawyers have good laugh on a brother attorney, who was defending a kleptomaniac on the plea of insanity. The attorney for the defendant made an eloquent speech on the irresponsible condition of the defendants mind to the jury and took his seat. His idiotic eli ent reached over, touched his advocates arm, and said, emphatically, |" You are the biggest fool on the Island" The opposing attorney instantly remarked, There, I told you he had lucid inter- vals."

WINTER ON THE FARM.
ACCOUNT OF SrocK,-The last

ACCOUNT OF STOCK. The last few days of this month and often the first of the next, says the Agricultawist, if indeed 8 longer time is not needed, are spent by all careful store-keepers and shop-keepers and business men in talk ing account of stock" The goods are overhauled and examined, and an ac- curate list made out of all articles, often- times with the cost and the selling price, or the cost and the present value, com pared in adjoining columns. Thus the balance for the year can be accurately made out. Farmers ought to do some- thing of this kind. It is not difficult, and if they do not plan to do it now, Christmas will pass, and the New Year will begin before they do it, and then it will be put over until another year. It is very easy to catalogue horses, cattle, sheep, and swine, and other live stock, and to set fair price upon them. It is not difficult to estimate the amount of fodder; and the bushels of grain and roots are already, in most cases, ac- curately known. But farmers wealth lies in good part in labor expended, which will bear fruit another year, and in the far off future, and no estimate of the proprietor's business standing will be just one which does not take into account such items as these "20 acres sowed to wheat and grass, dressed with l IS loads of manure to the acre-say at a cost for labor, seed and manure of $7OO, D "100 rods strip fence at $125 ;" the former item being placed in the "ac- count of stock "-the latter in the tex pense account" the same as " "interest on the investment,'' "insurance, Gre palrs,' ? painting etc.
 "WHAT's THE UsE?'-Will it make fatter beeves? Will it make better wheat and corn Will 1t make more milk and butter? Perhaps not; and yet it prob. ably will help to do all these. The farmer will see after the second year
 1st, whether or not he is advancing 2d,
 where he may make important savings
 3d, what branches of his business pay
 best, which cost the least labor, ano make the best returns. The nearer 6 farm can be conducted upon sound
 business principles the better for the
 farmer.

me L was never in a parlOr before that
didn't smell musty and look homesick. J."
(Which last unfortunate remark reused
the ire of Mrs. Close, who had the So
ciety, and whose parlOr hadn't been
opened before since the funeral of her
father year ago). But Mrs. Placid's
defence was ignored, and the verdict
was that it all came of marrying wo-
man full of city notions.
One more change this same energetic
woman determined to make, and she
succeeded. Fred's room was in the back
corner of the house, under a sloping
roof, with one window, and was fur
nished with a cast-Off bedstead, one
chair and no carpet. Why is it thought
in so many families that anything is
good enough for the boys7 Fred's 18th
birthday came, and with it surprise.
1t was one of the better rooms of the
house, medium sized, summed and aired
by two windows. 1t had bright car
pet, light painted chamber suit, a
few pictures, and set of shelves for
books. Who can imagine the manliness
and self-respect that grew in him when
he looked into the closet and bureau
drawers given solely to his clothing,
and used with relish the toilet articles
which said to him as plainly as words,
''yOu are to wash and tidy yourself here
now, my boy, instead of in the kitch-
en-" The last one of Fred's lines of de-
fence was down-his heart was taken.
Thus, in mutual helpfulness the years
went lightly by. AS the children one
by one drifted out of the sheltered har-
Dor, to try their hand at managing their
own life boats, this home of their early
years was to them a picture that faded
not even with the fading out of life.-

MY Little Rosebud.

God gave me once little white rosebud
White with the CLEAN of the rosy skies,
The light that steals through the clouds in heavs
When sunshine dies. 5
Sweet roses often their hearts have hidden
Under soft petals, like folded wings;
Mine was the fairest of all the flowers
That summer brings.
I thought that until its life, just waking,
Its full, sweet splendor should disclose,
Out Of my hand, no dear entreaties
Should win my rose.
1 laid it lovingly in my bosom,
Sheltered from every hurtful thing
What was that rustling, that made me tremble-
An angels wings Oh
I held my rosebud warmer and closer
1t was so dear and fair to see. = -
Angel you cannot take my flower;
God gave it me-" ....
Was it an angel that stood beside met
The angels followed at His command.
1t was God himself who took my rosebud
Out Of my hand.
Surely, o surely heard Him whisper,
In a new language I did not know,
1T was dearer to Him because had loved it,
He loved me So"
God laid my little rose in His bosom,
1t was so dear and so fair to see;
He stopped to tell me that He would keep it
Quite safe for me.

lieve that's good" The signal for the
expiration of the fast was whistle
from factory in the vicinity when il
blew DR.. Tanner had a peach in bis
hand, but before he could put it to his
mouth somebody snatched it away from
him. In response to the plaudits of the
assemblage, DR.. Tanner, who was sit
ting on a chair placed on table, raised
his handkerchief over his head. AT
quarter past twelve DR.. Tanner got
down from the table and left the hall
In coach, in charge of DR.. Gum, who
took him to his own residence, where
he will undergo careful medical treat
ment.
During the morning about 1000 per-
sons visited the hall. Just before noon
the temperature was found to be SO,
pulse 90, and respiration IL. On reach
ing the residence of DR.. Gum, DR.. Tan
ner at once lay down in the front par
lor and endeavOred to sleep. The milk
and watermelon had not disagreed with
him. DR.. Gum himself is reported ill
through over exertion. On leaving the
hall the Doctor walked unassisted down
stairs with slice of melon in his hand.
He received an ovation from the crowd
in the street, and exhibited much graf
itication at the hearty reception. He
ordered the cover of the carriage
thrown back, and joked and talked
with the crowd that surrounded him.
After two or three dozen persons had
grasped his hands, the two accompany
ing physicians had to grasp him by the
arm and hold him in his seat to prevent
him from firing himself out, as they
feared a serious reaction from the over
exertion.
Tanner spent a quiet day Sunday,
and saw very few visitors. His physi-
clans say he is improving as well as can
be expected. During the early part OF
the morning he chewed half pound OF
beefsteak, retaining only the juice, and
partOok of some milk. Shortly before
noon he eat half pound of beefsteak,
and potatoes stewed in milk. He then
weighed 126 pounds. About every
hour he partOok of some nourishing
food or drink, which included water
melon, Bass pale ale, potatoes, etc.
About 6 O'Clock his weight was 130 lbs.
He was quite lively and frisked about
his room like a sehoolboy. Physicians
say his rapid recovery is remarkable.
