Uncle Johnny at Church.

When Gov. s., who is a
most devout Episcopalian, was
the Chief Magistrate of Ken
lucky, he was wont to frequent
ly entertain the members of the
General Assembly at the Gov
ernor's Mansion. To one of
these levees came, with the men,
ber from his country, an old
mountaineer who had just reach
cd Frankfort with the raft of
logs which he had brought down
the Kentucky River. The old
man was called familiarly Gun
Gle Johnny" soon became the
center of an admiling group to
whom his jean clothes were not
at all an improper attire for the
Governors levee; and his tongue
being loosed by glass of cher
ry wine, which he then tasted for
the first time in his life, he was
entertaining his auditors with
stories from ''his country" when
the Governor approached.
"Uncle Johnny, here is the
Governor" said one of the COM
pany, and straightway the old
man was silent, for he was over
whelmed by this first vision of
the majesty of the Common
wealth.
"Go on with your story, Un-
Gle Johnny" said some one; "the
Governor will like to hear it"
eyes, go ON, Uucle Johnny"
said the Governor, with a kindly
smile of encouragement; and the
old man, thus convinced that e.
ven the Governor was also a man,
concluded his narrative.
Then, becoming bolder, he
ventured to address the Govern
or, saying: "Guyncr, l went to
your meeting yistidy, and I seen
whar you SETS"
He had been to the Episcopal
Church and had been shown the
Governors pew.
"Did you, Uncle Johnny"
responded Governors. "And
how did you like it?"
"Well, Guvnor, / never knowd
much what they was a-doin', but
l riz and fell with 'em every
tiue."

Confession.

With his little soft hand in mine,
And the light on his golden hair,
My baby after his day of play
Kneels down for his evening prayer.
His eyes gaze into the unknown land,
As he whispers each solemn word,
And he speaks of dying before he wakes,
With the look of startled bird.
Then he tells with quivering lip,
Ofthe deed he has done to-day
How butterfly stopped at rose to sip,
And he killed it in his play.
Ne'er TO murderous soul
Comes anguish grief and fear,
In stronger tide than sweeps tonight
Ger the soul of my baby dear.
But soothe the little trembler,
And hold him in my arms,
And give him the comforts that mother.

His grief to soothe and charm.
Till he whispers.raising his soft, blue eyes
Where the tears still shining lie
Il dess the butterfly has dood time,
In de roses in de skyp

A Confederate Hotel Story.

The following is a refreshing
reminder of "war times," taken
from the Atlanta Confederacy:
Many good things have been
told ofDr. Thompson, the world
renowned humorist and hospita-
bic proprietor of the Atlanta
Hotel, whose ready wit but few
are willing to encounter; but a
little incident occurred there
one week which rather worsted
the Doctor:
a Lieutenant Colonel who
was wounded at Murlreesboro,
who had been stopping awhile
with him, oil the Goth day called
for his bill. The obliging clerk
handed HIM the document with
20 days multiplied by 81. The
Colonel scanned the bill and
observed its footing up-$80.
He turned to the Doctor, who
was present, and asked him if he
did not think that pretty heavy.
The Doctor with that peculiar
toss Of the head which indicates
a small whirlwind, said:
nNo; if you had to pay 81 for
a gobler, 81 dozen for eggs,
Sc a pound for Rio coffee, $1.25
for butter, SIS a bushcl for po-
tatoes, and So a pair for shad,
you'd think it was light"
The Colonel ran his eyes over
the bin and quietly replied:
"Well, / have. been here 20
days, and marry d-n article you
have mentioned have 1 seen on
your table,"
1t is said the Doctor rushed
out into the back yard, and did
not cool off till he had whipped
three little niggers.

Men Who Require Presence Of
Mind.

Many railroad accidents are
prevented by presence of mind
on the part of engineers. 4
passenger train on the Chicago,
Burlington e Quincy Road was
rounding a sharp curve, Just un-
der a piece of tall timber. The
watchful engineer saw a tree ly-
ing across the track sixty feet a.
head Of the locomotive. The train
was running at the rate of thirty
five miles an hour, and to check
its momentum before reaching
the obstruction was out of the
question. The engineer took in
the situation at a glance. He
threw the throttle wide open, and
the engine shot ahead with the
velocity of an arrow and with so
tremendous Il force that the tree
was picked up by the cow-catch-
er and flung from the track as if
it had been only a willow withe.
A man with not so cool a head
would have made the best possi-
BILE use of those sixty feet in the
way of checking the speed of the
train. That would have caused
q disaster.
Bradford, an engineer, was
bringing an express train over
the Kankakee line from Indian
apolis. AS the engine shot out
from a deep cut and struck u
short piece of straight track lead
ing to a bridge, a herd Of colts
were discovered running down
the road. The distance to the riv-
er was only 100 feet. Bradford
knew if the colts beat the loco
motive to the bridge they would
fall between the timbers, and
the obstruction would throw the
train off and probably result ina
fi.ightful loss life. 1t took him
only Il half a second to think of
this. The other halfof the second
was utilized in giving his engine
such quantity of steam that it
covered that one hundred feet of
track i'm about the same that
bolt of lightning would travel
from the top of a ligbtning-rod
to the ground. The colts were
struck and knocked down the
embankment just as they were
entering the bridge.

"A well-dressed young man was

1Court the other day for beating

IN the face repeatedly, blacken-

He must have been very angry
at something when he struck her,
and he had already been punish-

Fourth of July holiday. She
wasn't much hurt anyway. The
justice told her to lift the veil.
She did not want to do so. Her
face really looked worse than it
was, she said. The skin turned
blue easily, and really she hadn't
been much hurt.
The justice insisted, and with
trembling hands she raised the
veil and showed a patient, old
face, the tears falling
down lis bruised and battered
features, and still she pleaded for
her boy. He, the brute, pleaded
that he would "lose his place" if
he was sentenced. There was
no contrition, apparently; it was
simply business with him. 'I4ose

the justice i'll righteous wrath.

his answer betrayed his willing

vided only that he could himself
stay behind, and showed that
however broken his body was

Home Music.


When the busy day is over,
And you rest at evening time,
0, how sweet sounds simple music,
Set to well-remembered rhyme.
Grander strains might prove less cheering
But homely ballad seems
Sweet and simple, and endearing,
Calling back ife's happiest dreams.
When the singer is mother,
With her children list'ning round;
When the sister and the brother,
Blend their tunes in tuneful sound,
While the husband and the father,
Sits to listen and admire;
Of all concerts, would rather,
Hear that sweet domestic choir.
We may praise the glorious voices
Of the geniushs of song,
Whose celestial art rejoices
Many and many a wond'ring throng;
But the songs that go the nearest
To our hearts are always those
Sung by friends we hold the dearest,
Friends our fireside circle knows.

Don't Gut the String.

lful merchants of Cleveland,
1Ohio, a day or two since, to a
lad who was opening q parcel:
l"Y Dung man, unite those strings
don't cut them.''
1t was the first remark he had
made to q new employee. 1t
was the first lesson the young
man had to learn, and it inyoly-
ed the principles of success or
failure in a business career.
Pointing to a well-drcssed man
behind the counter he said:-
There is a man who always
whips out his scissors and cuts
the strings off the package in
three or four places. He is a |
good salesman, bat will never
be anything more. i presume
he lives from hand TO mouth,
and / presume is more or less
in debt. The trouble with him
is that he was never taught to |
save. l told the boy just now
to unite the string not so much
for the value of the string as to |
teach him that everything is to
be saved and nothing wasted.
IT the idea can be firmly inn
pressed upon the mind of one
beginning in life that nothing
was made to be wasted, you
have laid the foundation of sue
cess.
The moral of this little incl
dent is self evident. A young
man we'll brought up with a fair
education, seeks employment in
a business house. The habit of
waste in little things is notice.
able, and becomes a drawback
on his value and usefulness to
his employer. The disregard
of saving strings and paper de-
velops into carelessness that
runs through all his habits.
He does not get on in the world
because he is wasteful. Small
sums of money slip through his
fingers almost nnconsciouSly,
because they are small. lie
wastes time by the minute, with {
out a thought of the old adage,
"Take care of the minutes and
the hours will take care of them
selves"
Sitting in the counting room
of one OF Cleveland's oldest and
most successful merchants the
other day. we noticed that he
cut off the blank sheets OF the
letters he was engaged in filing.
The name OF this nan is a syn
onym of charity and benevo-
lence and his liberality in all
good works is almost unbound
ed. His attention being called
to what seemed an unusual
proceeding, he said.-
"Yes, it may strike you as
TO save these half-sheets
of paper, but ! began life poor
boy in a country store ard this
was one of the first lessons
in saving little things that was
taught me by my employer.
He has been nearly half q GEN.
tury under the sod, but / never
do this without thinking of the
good old man. l believe it was
the secret of my success in life"
This saving of little things
docs not imply stinginess or
meanuess. 1t is simply the
habit of saving instead of vast
ing. 1t is embodied in the mot
to, "Waste not, want not"
Therefore We say, "Don't cut
the string"
