A CONFIDENTIAL FAMILY

We hear a good story of man who went to
the frontier to see friend. The family consisted
of the husband, his wife, and two grown sons.
Sitting by the fire few minutes, the old man
tipped him a wink, and the visitor followed him
out. Stopping by tree he pulled out long
necked bottle, remarking Il have to keep it hid,
for the boys might get to drinking, and the old
and returned to the fireside. Soon Tom, the elder
son, asked the visitor out to colt, and taking
him behind the barn, pulled out flask, remark
ing, Il have to keep this hid, for the old man
will get drunk and the deuce is to pay" and they
both took a drink and returned. Soon Bob
stepped on the visitors toes and walked Off the
visitor following As they reached the pig-pen
Bob drew out a good-szed bottle, remarking
You know the old man and Tom will get drunk
and have to hide this" Returning again to the
house, they sat down for few minutes, when
the men-folks went out to do up the chores
They had no sooner departed than the good
woman disappeared into the pantry, from
whence she presently returned with a small
flask OdOrOus of Jamaica rum, which she offered
her guest. keep little for use in case Of sick
ness she remarked, but have to hide it away
from the old man and boys, for they never know
when to stop drinking when once they begin it.
If they knew had it they would raise fearful
row." The visitor concluded he could not stand
it to drink confidentially with the whole family
often as desired and at once started for home.

PIG IRON IN THE BLOOD,

patent medicine vender in one of our prin-
cipal cities was dilating to large crowd upon
the wonderful efficiency of his iron bitters, pro-
nOuncing them the great panacea and all-patent
in building up an iron constitution"
THAT is sO-that is So" said by-stander.
What he tells you is fact, gentlemen, every
word of it."
Hear that, will you" said the delighted
quack; heres living testimony right before
your own eyes-a man who has used the bitters
and can recommend them"
No, not exactly that" replied the fellow; Il
have never used the stuff myself, but you see
Steve Jenkins did, and they jest saved his life.'
"HOw's that? ?" asked some one.
We'll, you see, Steve had taken the bitters
one week before he was showed in prison for muir
