A camp-Meetiur Anecdote.

An incident of eamp-meeting life
detailed by clergyman on Balti-
more steamboat, is thus reported
An old couple had considerably
supplied themselves with q bottle
OF pennyroyal oil with which to keep
off the mosquitoes. They extin-
guished their light and retired, for
getting the antidote. The mosuui-
toes were very bad, and, after stand
ing it as long as they could, the old
lady got up and got a well-flled
lhk-bottle instead of the oil, and
gave the old gentleman thorough
labricating with the liquid, face
hands and feet; she then anointed
herself in like manner. They again
essayed to court the drowsy god,
but could only get an occasionally
nap. Finally, the old lady got up
and struck a light Giving a glance
at the bed she had just left, she be-
held to her horror a colored per
son, las she supposed, stretched in the
place of her spouse. She quietly
got the poker and beat the old fell
low over the head before discover
ing her mistake. Later on in the
night, we found the old couple on
board the boat with us, he with his
head nearly as big as balessof hay,
and she caring for him with the
greatest solicitude.

The Mistake of a Night.

1t is related of an absent minded
young lady that, having been duly
married, she started off on her bri-
dial tour. The party stopped at a
western city. So far, so good.
Some time in the night there came
a succession of terrified shrieks
from the room occupied by the
bride and groom, and the clerks,
porters and employees generally
rushed up the stairs, only to meet a
frantic female figure, clad in white,
fleeing in desperate haste from her
apartment, crying;
''Oh, there's man in my room -
The clerk rushed in and found
the groom half disrobed standing in
the middle of the floor, one boot on,
the other in his hand, the picture of
amazement. He explained that he
had just come up stairs and was in
the act of undressing (his wife had
previously retired) when she sud
denly awoke with a shrek and
fed.
'What is the matter?" asked the
clerk.
''Damino," said the husband.
Just then the bride, enveloped in
a huge bed-spread procured for her
by a chamberrhaid, came back.

in half a minute she explained the

Advice to Girls.

Olive Logan is a sensible sort O
woman upon certain subjects, anC
upon the subject of bringing III
girls she winds up long list of ad
vice with the following bit of SOUND
sense: "a woman's safe-g guard is t.
keep a mans hands off her. If you
need his assistance in walking, take
his arm instead of his taking yours
just tell him in plain English
hands Off He may not like it al
the time, but he will respect you in
the future tenfold more. Men will
be and do just what the women will
allow them to do. Men will not do
to trust. Give man your arm and
you will find him very confidential,
and he will take great many priv
ileges he would not take if he was
not permitted to do so. He will
give your arm many loving squeezes
and sly twists that he could have no
opportunity of doing, and opportu-
tunity is what he is after. A few
words more of advice and am done.
Keep your girls off the streets ex-
cept when they have business.
Teach them that it is unnecessary
to go to the post-office every time
hey go out. Your girls can walk
alone as well as your boys. Don't
allow your girls, if they must have
,eau, to go with boys much older
han themselves. If possible, instil |
t into their nature that they are
afer in their; own hands than they
re in the hands of any man.

Our Yeung People
Envying a Rich Man.
Youths Compaaion.I

Some years ago there lived man
in Philadelphia who was envied by
hundreds. Jacob Ridgeway was
worth five or six millions of dollars,
fortune which was then exceeded
only by Girard's and Astor's.
"Mr. Ridgeway," said a young
man with whom the millionaire was
conversing, you are more to be
envied than any gentleman / know.
'Whs SOP responded Mr.. Ridge
way, 81 am not aware of any cause
for which should be particularly
envied."
''What, sirr' exclaimed the young
man in establishment. ''Why, you
are a millionaire Think of the
thousands your income brings every
month";
swell, what of thatf'' replied MIR.
Ridgeway. "All l get out of it is
my victuals and clothes, and can't
eat more than one mans allowance
and wear more than suit at time.
Pray can't you do as much?"
"Ah, but" sal the youth, 'think
of the hundreds of fine houses you
own, and the rentals they bring
you"
what better off am / for that"
replied the rich man. 81 can only
live in one house at time; as for
the money receive for rents, why
l can't eat it or wear it; 1 can only
use it to buy other houses for peo-
pie to live in; they are the bene-
ficiaries, not To-
But you can buy splendid furni-
ture and costly pictures, and fine
carriages and horses-in fact, any
thing you desire"
''And after have bought them,
responded Mr.. Ridgeway, "what
then? l can look at the furniture
and pictures, and the poorest man,
who is not blind, can do the same"
81 can ride no easier in fine
carriage than you can in the
omnibus for five cents, without the
trouble of attending to drivers, foot
men and hostlers; and as to any
l DESIRE can tell you, young man,
that the less we desire in this world,
the happier we shall be.
Cali my wealth can't buy single
day more of life-can not buy back
my youth-cannot procure me
power to keep afar off the hour of
death, and then, what will all avail,
when in a few short years at most 1
lie down in the grave and leave it
all forever? Young man, you have
no cause to envy me-"

ROME, June 2.-Gen. Garibaldi
died at $50 this evening. A previ-
Gus dispatch said the General was
lying very i'll with bronchitis at Ca
prera, that all the members of his
family had left for his bedside.
Giuseppe Garibaldi was born at
Nice July %, 1907, of poor parents,
and was in 1882 compelled to leave
home for conspiring against the
King of Sardinia. Under sentence
of death he escaped to France, and
in 1886 fought for the republic of
Rio Grande against Brazil. At
tended by his wife Anita, he passed
through many stirring adventures.
In 1913 he served the provisional
government of Italy, and was in the
thick of the struggle when the
French attacked Rome, and fled to
America when the French entered.
He was afterwards a leader in every
struggle of Italy for freedom and
unitication. He revived in 1867 the
agitation on the Roman question
and openly organized an invasion of
the states of the church. This was
suppressed, Garibaldi arrested and
sent up to his island home, Caprera,
where he was watched by a man-of-
war. In spite of this vigilance, he
escaped and in October joined the
insurgents on the Roman frontier.
AT the end of this insurrection he
was arrested on his way back from
Caprera, but was soon after released.
He again left his island home on the
establishment of the French repub-
lie, and served the government of the
National Defense. He took his seat
in the Italian Parliament amid
much popular enthusiasm in Janu-
airy, 1875. In 1876 donation of
100, 600 lire was made him by the
nation and the King. He lived to
see the dream of his young man
hood, the unity and freedom of
Italy, an accomplished fact, and
died more loved than any other
European of his days.

They Were All Poor Boys.

An exchange culls the followin;
historical facts, which should en-
courage every young man strugglin.
under discouragements and poverty
John Adams, second president
was the son of a farmer of very
moderate means. The only start ht
had was a good education.
Andrew jackson was born in {
log hut in North Carolina, and was
raised in the pine woods for which
the state is famous.
James X. Polk spent the earlier
years of his life helping to dig a
living out of a new farm in North
Carolina. He was afterwards a
clerk in country store.
Willard Fillmore was the son of a
New York farmer, and his house
was avery humble one. He learned
the business of clothier.
James Buchanan was born in a
small town among the Allegheny
His father cut the logs
and built his own house in what was
then a wilderness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son of
q very poor Kentucky farmer, and
lived in log cabin until he was q
years of age.
Andrew Johnson was apprenticed

Marry a Woman.

Don't marry dimples, nor ankles
nor mouth, nor small waists, no
shippers, young man. These bit.
and scraps of femininity are very
poor things to tie to. Marry til,
true things-look after congeniality
kindred, sympathy, disposition, edu
cation, and if these be joined with
social position, or even filthy lucre
why don't let them stand in your
way. .5- -g.l.5
Get woman, not one of those
parlor automasoms that sit down
just so, thump on the piano, and
"dote" on whisper. Living stat
utes are poor things to call into
consultation. Don't throw your
time away on such trifing things.
No, don't do it, young man! Marry
a sweet-tempered, sensible, healthy,
womanly woman. Study human ma
ture. Choose phrenologically; mar
ry a good face, a sound mind in
sound body. And, young man, if
you are what you should be, clean,
temperate, industrious, intelligent,
religious, loving and manly, we can
predict for you bright and happy
future. -
We appreciate accomplishments
in woman, and she who can fill the
domestic sphere as wife, whose in
terests centre in home, and whose
love and devotion throws a charm
around all, is most truly accom-
plished. h-a
Young man, marry dutiful, ami
able affectionate daughter, and you
will have a thoughtful, loving, hon
ored wife, and lovable, refined
woman for your companiOn.-[ Elk.

What coBee win Do,

According to DIR. Black of Leipsi
coffee and tea are the chief cause
of the nervousness and peevishnes
of our time. Ir f9r4
Dr. Segur takes the opposit,
| ground and enumerates the bless
ings which they can produce.
1t is a mental and bodily stimu
liant, assisting to convert the blood
into nervous tissue, and thus recruit
the nervous and thinking faculties
This lessons the waste of tissue
and thus lessons the amount of food
necessary to support the system.
1t will often cut short and cure
attacks of intermittent fever.
In typhus fever it increases the
excretion of urea, and so far purifies
the blood without increasing meta
morphosis of the tissues.
1t tends to lessen coma and low
delirium. 1t is DR.. Segur's chief
reliance in yellow fever.
1t is useful in spasmodic asthma,
wheoping cough, and Mysteries. 1t
is diuretic in cardiac dropsy. In
opium poisoning its efficacy is
generally acknowledged.
After a heavy meal it relieves the
sense of oppression.
1t is disinfectant and deodorizer.
Habitual coffee drinkers generally
enjoy good health, and usually live
to a good old age.

the careworn lady.
"W hat is hay auntie?'
"Why hay is hay, dear.
