some against their late enemy is losing its
sharp point as time passes and the fact is
now distinctly realized that there is only a
choice between Massey, an old foe, and
Wise. a present one"
The Culpeper Exponent says: 1.-THE ques-
ton to be decided in the election Of Con-
gresham at-large, is whether the people of
this State approve Of the protective tariff,
the internal revenue. the monopoly system,
and al the other inquitous devices of the
Republican party to lay tribute on Virginia
for the benefit of New England, or whether
they will condemn these things. Massey
has declared himself on the peoples side of
these questions. John Wise has declared
himself on the other side. The issue is
made up between them, and that is the issue
which the people are to decide

SAVING A HOME.

At the age of two-and-twenty John Gar
land found himself in possession of the
old homestead farm, with wife and an
infant child. He was the youngest of
three brothers, ard had remained upon the
home in the care Of TIE "old folks'' while
they lived; but they had been gathered to
their fathers now. and John was left in
sole possession, with only his wife and
child to provide for. The homestead was
a pleasant, thriving town IN the state of
Maine-up in Oxford county-distant fifty
miles from Portland.
John Garland was now sole owner OF q
good farm. But-ah there was a mort
gage on the farm of one thousand dollars
"a mortgage upon the note of which in
terest had been made for more than TWEEN
ty years-and now that note must be paid
The man who held it had been waiting pa
tlently until old Peter Garland (John's
iather) should die, calculating that he
would then step in and take tie property;
for should he foreclose. and force sale: =
IS he could readily and easily do-the
farm would not bring more than enough
to satisfy his claim. At all events he regar-
ded the 'Old Garland Place. as good as
bis own.
John had been notified within month
after the death of his father that he must
pay Off the mortgage or surrender the es-
tate. 1t startled him. He sat down and
thought the matter over; and talked it
over with his wife.
'Whatever you do, John,'' she said, $40

will help you all [ can. [ will work and
will economist. Go to my Uncle Daniel,
in Portland. He is one of the Directors
of the Canal Bank. Perhaps he will help
you. At any rate, he will give you good
advice"
So away to Portland John went, and
found Uncle Lanham i'll his store, and to
him told his story Said he:
My creditor hopes to get the dear old
farm for himself. My father put the
mortgage on, and I have paid the interest
regularly since 1 took the charge. That
money-one thousand dollars must be
paid within week. If you can lend 1t to
me, | will turn the mortgage over to you.
Surely the security is good.''
"Truly, John, have no money to spare'

at the end of another decade where Tyou
are now. You would only have to renew
again.

An ingenious Theft.

Florence detectives are in Paris on the
hunt for man and woman who very inge-
niously robbed jeweler, of their city, of
Jewels worth four hundred thousand francs
This was the manner of the theft. A trav-
eller who had the appearance Of an Eng
lish Milford, reached Florence with his
daughter and established himself at the
principal hotel. The gentleman placed in
his apartment small circular writing
desk, which he brought among his bag
gage. He stood it close against door
leading into another room, which was &C.
cupied by his daughter. He was lavish in
his expenditures, but still careful in ex-
emining his bills. He bought few trim
kets at the different jewelers., and in pay
ing for them took care to display pocket
book filled with bills of large figures. AT
ter having been at the hotel month he
said, in the hearing of this special ieweler,
that his daughter was about to marry, and
then he would 60 to Paris to purchase
there a handsome diamond necklace as
could be found. Naturally the jeweler did
not wish to lose the opportunity, and he
therefore showed the English nan beau
tlful necklace, costing four hundred thou
sand francs Milford was enraptured. 1t
was exactly what he wanted. But as he
was not in the habit Of carrying around
with him almost half d million of money
the jeweler must wait eight days, until he
could procure the sum from London, and
then come with his necklace to the hotel,
He paid small amount on account. On
the appointed day the jeweler was prompt
ly on hand, and when he entered the room
MILFORD was seated at his desk writing a
letter. He took the case and placed it
upon the desk. 1t was to be a surprise for
his daughter, aud she was not to see it un-
til her wedding day. just as he was count
ing the money to settle with the jeWeler
the young lady rushed into the room, and
her father quickly pushed the jewel case
into one of the drawers to hide it from her
His tailor had called-that was the mes
sage of his daughter. He left his child to
entertain the jeweler while he went to see
the tailor. The jeweler had no suspicion,
but conversed pleasantly with his compan
ion. AS her father did not return after a
half hour she started to look for him.
Now the jeweler became anxious. He
rang the bell. "Monsieur and madamoisel-
10 had gone away" was the pleasing infor-
nation of tie servant. The jeweller pull
I'd open the drawer of the writing desk.
The case of jewels had likewise gone away.
The drawer communicated through hole
in the door Nth the next room.

How IT PAYS TO TAKE A NEWSPAPER.
Some papers are not of much account as
to appearances, but never took one that
did not pay me. in some way, more than 1
paid for 1t. One time an old friend star
ted little paper away down in southwes.
tern Georgia, and sent it to me. I sub
scribed just to encourage him, and after
awhile it published notice that an admin
istrator had an order to sell several lots at
public cutlery, and one of the lots was in
my county. So inquired about the lots,
and wrote to my friend to attend the sale
and run it up to $50. He did 80, and bid
me off the lot for $50, and I sold it in
month to a man it joined for 300, and so
made 500 clear by taking that paper.
My father told me that when he was a
young man he saw notice in paper that
school teacher was wanted away off in

the situation, and little girl was sent to
him, and after while she grew up mighty
