POSTSCRIPT.

In silence must take my seat,
And give the School Board thanks before
Ispeak;
Must for my doom in patience wait.
Till l am asked to hear my fate.
l must not scold, nor whine, nor pout,
Nor move myself about.
Unjust not play, nor must sing;
I must not speak truthful word,
For must be seen, and not be heard.
| must not talk about my masters,
Nor fret if l don't think them good.
My brain with thoughts must not crowd
Nor while in Covington speak aloud;
Tip my hat when my masters l meet,
And when ask, say III you please
Their white robe of honesty 1 must not
spoil,
Nor with my fingers soil.
Must keep my seat til am wanted,
Nor round the town sport or run;
When told to rise. then must put
Myself away with quiet foot,
And lift my heart to masters here,
In praise for all their wondrous love.

Good Advice From a Leading
Medical Professor.

The learned doctor says: "Keep
some kind of a tonic medicine al
ways in the house, and if anyone
feels unwell, make free use of it.
But first be sure that it is both
harmless as well as meritorious.
Put no trust in alcoholic prepal a
tions; their use will lead to int n
peranee; neither be partial to any
remedy that produces a severe
cathartic effect, for postration of
the nervous system and of the di-
gestive organs is sure to fol-
low. The mildest and best medi-
cines ever invented for strength ming
every part of the body and restoring
impaired or lost functions to their
normal condition, and one which
is having an unparalleled and rap
idly increasing sale in the Eastern
States, is Browns Iron Bitters. ANY
druggist will procure it for you if
you request him to do so, especially
when he sees you can't be persuaded
to take some substitute. It does
not contain alcohol, and is the only
preparation of Iron that cures head
ache and does not blacken the teeth.
It is q sure reviver, true strength
ener. and the very best medicine
ever invented for permanently
strengthening the pulmonary. urin-
ary.and digestive organs, and pre-
venting consumption, kidney dis
eases and chronic dyspepsia, often
curing these diseases when all other
remedies have failed; for it is truly
natures best assistant" Gazette.

IN the assay office, at New York,
are SO delicate that when brought to
a balance with 2 pieces of paper of
equal size in the pans, the writing OF
a name with lead-pencil on one of
the pieces of paper will add enough

Waynesville is in q fervent excite.
ment over q haunted photograph gallery
For more than week the artist, Mr.. w
Slater, has been unable to take pic.
ture, owing to the appearance Of the
figure of an old gentleman behind the
sitters. Until. to-day he failed to hold
the shadow on the negative, but he is
now able to print the ghost, who looks
like fine old man of fifty, dressed in an
old style. The artists bottles and neg
atives have been shaken, his lamp blown
out, etc., and he is so scared that moth
ing would induce him to spend the night
there. Old residents revive the story of
q peddlar being murdered fifty years
ago in the building in which the gallery
is; in fact, they say his body was thrown
into well which is Immediately under
the gallery. But those who have seen
the ghosts picture say that hewas never
a peddlar when in the flesh. Cincinnati

One Honest Man.

The other day six men sat around a
stove in Detroit tobacco store. There
had been a long period of silence when
one of them rubbed his leg and re-
marked:
THAT old wound feels as if it was
going to open again. shall always re-
member the battle of Rich Mountain. I"
There was a slight stir around the
stove, and second man put his hand
to his shoulder and observed:
And l shall not soon forget Brandy
Station. Feels to-day as if the lead was
going to work OUT
The interest was now considerably
increased, and the third man Knocked
the ashes off his cigar and said:
- Yes, those were two hard fights,
but you ought to have been with Nelson
at Franklin. Lor', but wasn't excited
that day! When those two fingers went
with grape-shot never felt the pain!''
The fourth man growled out some
thing about Second Bull Run and sabre
cut on the head, and the fifth man felt
of his left side and said he should always
remember the lay of the ground at the
Yellow Tavern. The sixth man was
silent. The other five looked at him
and waited for him to speak, but it was
a long time before he pointed to his
empty sleeve and asked:
Gentlemen, do you know where
got that?''
Some mentioned one battle and some
another, but he shook his head sadly
and continued:
Boys. let's be honest and own right
up. lost my arm by buzz-saw, and
now we will begin on the left and give
every one chance to clear his con-
science. Now, then. showyour wounds"
The five men leaned back in their
chairs and smoked fast and chewed hard
and looked at each other, and each one
wished he was in Texas when a runa-
way horse flew by and gave them a
chance to rush out and get clear of the
one-armed man. 1t was a narrower es-
cape than any one of them had during |
the war.-DetroI Free Press.

Those who keep sheep should
place salt in some place accessible daily
to the sheep. 1t is said that in Spain,
Whenever sheep are kept in the neigh

and have access to it, they thrive bet

France the same thing is found to exist
in the neighborhood of the coast and
the salt works of the north; sheep give
more and better wool and the mutton is
more highly esteemed than that from
other localities.
