Well rally round the banner Of our

We're bound to win the battle, meier

Wen rally round the banner, and never
let it fall,
With Hancock and English we're bound

CHORUS:
Hoist up the flag of the red, white and

For Hancock the patriot and brave COM
mandcr, too;
Hoist up the flag with not star

With Hancock commander, 1t meier can
be disgraced.
The boys who wore the gray and the
boys who wore the blue,
Are fighting now together with pnr-

They're bound to win the battle, they

With Hancock and English as their

Well heed not the sunshine, neither

Well gather round the banner of Ham

With such noble leader, we're bound

From the everglades of Florida to the
unsalted seas,
The banner of Hancock is flying In the
breeze;
From golden California to old Yirginia's
shore
The people are aroused as they never

When Hancock's elected, he's bound to

The great electoral fraud they dare not

For he's commanding soldiers who wore

Who are bound anu determined to see

THE PROBA BILE CIR ADLE OF OUR
RACE.

The most propable conjecture has
fixed the cradle of our race in that cor
ner of land which lies westward of the
steep range of the Beloot Tagh Noun
tains, all off-shOOt of the Himalayas,
and northward from the high barren
land of Kabul. This country, the an
cient Bactriana, is the most habitable
district to be found anywhere in Gen.
trail Asia. There the hills stretch out
in gentle slopes toward the west, and
inclose fertile valleys, whose innumer-
able streams, fed by the mountains
east and south, all go to swell the wa
ters of Oxus, now called the Jihon.
Further north lies another fruitful
country, watered by the Jaxartes, sep
arated from the first by a range Of
hills much inferior to those which di-
vide both lands from Yarkand and
Kashgar on the east, and from Kabul
on the south. Both the great rivers
empty themselves into the Sea of Aral
between which and the Caspian,
sharply cutting of the fertile country
from that sea, stretches the Khiva des-
ert, barren land affording scanty
nourishment to the herds of wander
ing Turkic tribes. There is good rea-
son to believe, however, that this des-
ert did not always exist, but that in
times not extraordinarily remote, the
Caspian Sea, Joined in the Sea of Aral,
extended over a much larger area than
it at present covers it is known even
now to be sinking steadily within its
banks. With such a contraction of
the great sea the desert would grow by
double process, by the laying bare its
sandy bed, and by the withdrawal of a
neighbOring supply of moisture from
the dry land. So it may well have
been that the fruitful territory wherein
in remotest ages were settled our Aryan
ancestors stretched so far west as to
border upon a large inland Asiatic sea.
1t has even been conjectured that the
turning of SO much fertile land into
desert was the proximate cause of the
migrations which sent the greater part
of fthe Aryan races westward-to people
at least, all the countries of Europe.
The root which is common to the Eu-
ropean languages for the names of the
sea, means, in the Indian and Iranian
languages, a desert; how can we ac-
count for this fact better than by sup
posing that after the European nations
had left their early home, their breth-
rem, who remained behind and who
long afterward separeted into the peo-
pies of India and Persia, came to know
as q desert the district which their
fathers had once known as the sea-

ADMIT THE SUN.

Don't shut out the sun, even though
your carpets suffer little under his
ardent gleam. We are more active
under the influences of supshine-can
think better and act more vigorously.
Let us take the airiest, the choicest
and sunniest room in the house for
our living room-the workshop where
brain and body are built up and re-
newed-and let us have bay window,
no matter how plain the structure,
through which the good twin angels
of nature,-sunlight and pure air-can
freely enter. Dark rooms bring de-
preston of spirits, imparting sense
Of confinement, OF isolation. of pow
erlessness, which is chill to energy
and vigor; but in bright rooms is good
cheer. Even in a gloomy house, where
walls and furniture are dingy and
brown, we have but to take down the
curtains, open wide the window, hang
brackets on either side, set fower-pots
on the brackets, and let the warm sun
stream freely in, to bring health to our
bodies and joy to our souls.-[Physiol-
ogist.

BEGGING AS A PROFESSION

In the provinces of Italy-not in the
towns, where begging is profession,
the profits of which mxy be very near
ly estimated-the populace have to
save something for old age. In the
South of France the peasantry are no.
tably models of thrift. Spain in many
parts knows nothing of official relief
and yet the aged poor seldom die of
starvation while further a field, in
Turkey and in Central Asia, the alb
sence of all organized assistance for
the poor has brought system of FAM
lily support which results in the old
and helpless being cared for by their
nearest relatives. We alone in Eng
land have nearly 600, 900 people out of
q population of 26.OO0,OO0, absolutely
dependent upon the rates and taxes
for charitable support.-[London Ex-

THE BOY WHO WHISTLES.

The boy who whistles through his
fingers, like a fog-horp, at the concert
is often heard but never seen. When
the piercing blast splits the ears of the
audience, good many people turn in
their seats and gaze angrily at the
gallery, but it does no good. They see
b row of boys looking at them with
expressionless faces and a general
aspect of innocence too sweet for this
world. The bad boy must have gone
out When the applause is next tried
the relentless caliope peals out its
piercing scream with q terrible vol
ume of sound that sweeps through the
hall, over the stage, into the ears of
the audience, out of the front door
and across the street, where the night
watchman hears it and grips his club
tighter. The boy who whistles is still
loose.

a good story comes to us from the
West Out in Indiana the students of
q well.known medical college decided
to have a good joke at the expense of q
professionalresu The latter
was not exactly q coward in any sense
of the term, but they, the students, felt
confident that the plan they had on
hand would, if successfully carried out
be the means of providing them with
unbounded merriment at the resur-
rectionist's expense. They informed
him that they had secreted body for
dissection, and commissioned him to
bring it from its hiding-place and de-
liver it to them. just previous to this
one of the number got into a sack and
lay perfectly mntionless. He was the
remains, and he was to kick and make
. big noise at given signal from the
rest, who were to be hid in ambush
along the road. So far everything
worked like . charm. The resurrec-
ZIONIST took uR the sack, swung it
across his back and trudged on to the
utter joy of the occupant, who remain
ed as still as possible. On trudged
the resurrectionist with thoughts of
the Forthcoming fee dancing in his
soul. Finally he got to within fifty
feet of the spot at which the ambushed
party lay, but between him and them
was q bridge. AS he stepped upon
the bridge his burden was aware of
the fact that the signal would be CIV
en- 90 soon that it was not worth whi e
to wait for it, so he commenced to
kick, and the resurrectionist, with
hair on end, made loud howl and
threw his burden off the bridge into
the water below. The students rush.
ed down pell-mell and rescued their
companion after desperate struggle.
When any allusion is made to the af-
fair, however, the students pretend to
know nothing about.

There is now living in Morrillton,
Conway county, this State, woman
who has been married fourteen times.
She is only sixty-five years old, and,
matrimonially speaking, she has been
remarkably successful. Her four
teenth husband is now living, but it
is not known how soon he may drop
of, and, considering the epidemic
that has ragged among his predecess-
ors, his position is one of extreme
danger. In the hall of the house where
the lady now lives there are thirteen
pegs driven in the wall, on which
hang thirteen hats, labeled John, Tom,
Abe, Bill, and so on. The lady Is well
connected; in fact, she has been ex
tensively connected. She has great
many relatives living in Conway coun-
ty, and some of them are the leading
men of that section. At some future
time we may give a biographical
sketch of this remarkable woman.-

A MOMENT OF TERRIBLE SUS.
PENSE.

Mr.. Jerome, of West Waterford, N.
Y, had reached the center of the rail-
road bridge at Cohoes when a train
came laundering along. There was
no room to stand OH the side of the
track, no time to return, his only safe
ty being in dropping down beneath
the ties and hanging suspended over
the river fifty feet below. Bracing
himself for the strain, he let himself
down, clasping his arms tightly about
the cross-piece. The train having
passed, he found that he lacked
strength to lift himself up again. He
shrieked for aid and tried in vain to
draw himself up by the strength of his
arms. His hold was weakening and
death seemed near. He was about re-
linquishing his grasp and resigning
himself to his fate when he heard a
cry of encouragement. He rallied his
forces for another struggle, but his fin
gers were slipping, his hold was re-
laxing. His hope was gone, when he
felt his arms grasped, and he was
saved. When drawn up he was una
BILE to stand.

ENEMIES OF HUMAN LIFE,

An English paper, Capital and La
Dor, thinks that. while excessive labor,
exposure to heat and cold, deprivation
of sufficient quantities of necessary
and wholesome food, habitual bad
lodgings, sloth and intemperance, are
all deadly enemies to human life, none
of them are so bad as violent and un-
governed passions. Men and women
have survived all the former, says the
writer, and at last reached an extreme
old age, but it may be safely doubted
whether a single instance can be found
of man of violent and irrascible tenn
per, habitually subject to storms of un-
governable passion, who has arrived
at very advanced period of life. 1t
is, therefore, matter of the highest
Importance to every one desirous of
preserving a sound mind in a sound
body" to have special care amid all
the vicissitudes and trials of life, to
quiet possession of his own
spirit.
