EDWARD STONE,
STATIONERY AND Book STORE.
II being too early in the day for custo-
mers, they found the proprietor alone,
whose face flushed with pride and pleas
ure as he greeted them.
II got your card, nephew" said the
old man, with a cordial grasp of the
hand, and called round to see how you
were getting on. | thought it was about
Tune l gave YOU the little lift you asked
of me three years ago. You don't look
much az if you needed it, though"
Not at present, thank you, uncle"
was the cheerful response. "Curiously
enough, II is the same business that /
wanted to buy then. The man who took
1t had to borrow the money to purchase
1t with, getting SO much involved that he
had TO sell at sacrifice"
Just what you wanted to do"
Edward smiled at the point mede by
his uncle.
at isn't what I've done, though. Pve
saved tour dollars week from my salary
for the last three years, and so was not
only able to pay the money down, but
had fifty dollars besides"
"Bravow cried the delighted old man,
with another gasp of the hand, that
made our hero vince. "Pm proud of

and without anybody's help. told your
cousin Polly that when she was eighteen
I'd buy her house in the city; that she
should furnish it to suit herself. and
have all the servants she wanted; and |
have kept my word Come round and
see us whenever you can; you'll always
find the latchstring out"
Edward did not fail to accept the invi-
tation so frandly extended, a very pleas
ant intimacy growing up between the
three during the twelve months that fol-
lowed. Our hcro's business grew and
prospered, untilhe began to think of re-
moving to larger place. His uncle had
given him several liberal orders, as well
as sent him number of customers, but
said nothing about assisting him in any
other way until Christmas eve. Enter
ing the room where Edward and his
daughter were sitting, he said:
81 mustn't delay any longer that little
hit | promised you, nephew, and which
you have well earned
Edward glanced from the five-thousand
dollar check to the lovely face at his
side, and then TO that Of the speaker.
"Iou are very kind, uncle, far kinder
than deserve; but
''But what, lad? Speak out! Would
you prefer it in some other form"
Edwards fingers closed tenderly and
strongly over the hand that he had
taken in his.
"Ies, uncle-in this"
The old man looked keenly from one
TO tire other.

Polly, have you been encouraging this
young man III his presumptionp
II am afraid ! have, father" was the
smiling response.
The fathers eyes moistened.
"Then, go, my daughter, ! give you
to worthy keeping; and if you make your
husbands heart as happy as your mother

that she tarried by my side, he Will be
blest indeed. Mary Grace Haipm IN

Ireland's Food.

| wish | could describe a mountain
potato to you. The lowland root is waxy
and speckled and unwholesome enough
this year, but what words can convey an
idea Of the waterness and clamminess
and utter worthlessness as food for man
or beast of that grown in the bogsl And
yet the poor creatures will say regret
fully; Sure, if we had a male day of
the pratees, It's little else we'd be askinr
Atm the bit o. stirabout always is kill
ing; there is no substance to it without a
dhrop o milk, but sure you could ate a
pratee by itself, and 'twould rouse your
poor heart"

August Flower.

The immense sale and great popularity of
Green's August Flower in all towns and
villages in the civilized world has caused
many imitators to adopt similar names, ex-
pectiug to reap harvest for themselves at
the expense of the afflicted. This Medicine
was introduced in 1868, and for the cure o
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, with their
effects, such as Sour Stomach, Costiveness,
Sick Stomach, Sick Headache, Indigestion
Palpitation of the heart, Vertigo, etc, etc,
il neva has failed to Our knO,0l,dge.. Three
doses will relieve any case OF Dyspepsia.

The History of Writing.
Prof. sayce in Nature.

The Ashomlean museum at Oxford
contains one of the Oldest monuments OF
civilization in the world, if indeed, it is
not the very oldest. This is the Intel
stone of a tomb which formed the last
resting-place of an officer who lived in
the time of King Sent, of the second
dynasty, whose date is placed by NJ
Mariette more than 5000 years ago. The
stone is covered with that delicate and
finished sculpture which distinguished
the earliest period of Egyptian history,
and was immeasurably superior To the
stiff and conventional art of the later
ages of Egypt which We are accustomed
to see in our European museums, But
it is also covered with something more
precious still than sculpture, with hiero-
glyphics which show tnat even at that
remote epoch Egyptian writing was u
complete finished art, with long ages of
previous development lying behind il.
The hleroglyphic characters are already
used not only pictorially and ideograph-
ically but also TO express syllables
and alphabetlc letters, the name of the
king, for instance, being spelled alpha
betically.
In the hands of the Egyptian scribe,
however, Egyptian writing never made
any further progress. With the fall of
what is called the Old Empire about b.
c. 5000 the freshness and expansive
force OF the people passed away. Egyp-
tan life and thought became fossilized,
and through the long series of centuries
that followed, Egypt resembled one of
its own mummies, faithfully preserving
the form and features of a past age and of
a life which had ceased to beat in its
veins. Until the introduction OF Chris
tianity the only change undergone by
Rgyptian writing was the invention of a
running-hand, which in its earlier and
simpler form is called hieratic, and in
lis laler form dnmntic

Judge Dickinson has recently render
cd Il decision which is of considerable
local interest, though of 4 private na-
ture, owing to the fact that the COM
munity ''took sides" to considerable
extent when tie matter WAS up at the
fall term.
This is Il case growing ont Of the Ben
nett & Grisscll failure. and is tl!e case
Of lltrs:y, Bean 4 Brown vs.. Lille l..
Bennett, ali action for applying the res
idence of the defendant III Wortlington
in satisfaction Of a judgment of $1,000
against Bennett 4 Grissell, the plain
titfs claiming that the property was put
in the wife's name for the purpose of
defraudng the creditors. The decision
is in favor of the defendant, Mrs. BEN
nett, and the chief points are us follows:
l. That as W. Il. Bennett had been
constantly dealing with uersey, Bean
& Brown and making payments, such
payments should be applied upon the
oldest indebtedness, and that therefore
the debt existing at the time of the con-
veyance to Mrs. Bennett was exiting
uiShed.
.. That us the firm Of Bennett & Girls
sell had assumed the indebtedness of
W. r. Bennett existing 1T the time the
conveyance was made to his wife, and
had given their firm notes which notes
had been put into judgment, therefore
the individual indebte dness of said Ben
nett existing ut the time of the convey
ance was extinguished.

TAX BLUNDERS AND WRONGS.
Another correspondent writes about
the unequalization of taxes. This is,
we think, in most cases due to favoritc-
ism, either in the assessor, or the town
or village board. Parties ought to APP
pear before the board and show the mat
ter up. Non-residents are nearly al
ways Overtaxed. We know cases where
an unimproved farm belonging to non
resident of the township is taxed IL good
deal higher than we'll improved farm
adjoining it and occupied by a resident
f rmer.
The whole matter needs ventilating
and righting. We learn another thing.
That officials have blundered so much
in listing lands for taxation that par
ties have for several years been paying
taxes on land to which they have no IT,
| tie whatever. There seems to lie but one
way to do. viz: every man must watch
his own affairs, see that the descrip-
ton OF his land is right, and go before
the board to>have mistakes and wrongs
! corrected.

SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

~ ASNAAA ANNOONCElHENI,
We take pleasure in announcing that
we have made arrangements with tile
publisher of the Chicago Weekly News
which enable lis to club that paper with
the ADVANCE at the very low price of
$500 per year in advance, thus making
the Chicago News free. This is beyond
question the first time that metropol-
itan weekly has been brought within
the reach Of subscribers for nothing.
For the small amount Of $500 a year
our readers can place themselves in
command OF the whole situation. All
events of interest, local, national and
foreign, will be presented completely
and promptly by one or the other of
these publications. The single feature
OF full and trustworthy Chicago market
quotations will lie worth, to many of
our readers, more than the additional
amount INVOLVED in the clubbing ar
rangement. TO those who are not ia
mlliar with the character of the Chica-
80 News, we would say it is the best
representative of independent journal
ism in the West.
The Weekly News is large eight
column folio, "cram full'' Of telegraph
and general news, short and pithy edi-
torials on the topics Of the day, written
in familiar yet incisive style, and in
all its departments evidently aims to
give facts in few words, without the
verbiage and fine writing which render
so many Of the large metropolitan Jour-
nails "a WEAKNESS to the 1lesh.n Facts.
not words, appear to be it's motto.
We trust that all our readers will a.
vail themselves of this unusual oppor-
tunity Of securing Chicago weekly pa
per for nothing.
Specimen copies of the Chicago
Weekly News may lie seen at this Office
