Pretty brown-eyed Jenny Car

She had also now dress for the
occasion. The soft, shining folds
of dark blue silk were draped over
the bed, and Jenny was kneeliug
upon the floor, arranging the loops
of satin ribbon to her taste, when
Miss Bell Dorsey, who was
Jenny's most Intimate friend, burst
into the room.
'Oh, whatsa pretty dress, Jenny

THE SACRED AND THE SEcULAR.-5
To us, a publican and sinner, it ia sad
to see that so many ministers are,
willing to forsake their pulpits and
accept we'll paid professorships IN the
State University. 1t is belief en-
eouraged by preachers and accepted
by people that the Lord chooses his
own servants and assigns them to-
work in certain selected portions ef
the vineyard. They have no more
right to change professions than the.
soldier has to lay down his sword and
take up the pruning hook. If their
commissions are revoked and they dis
missed his service or placed on the
invalid list they may properly engage
in secular pursuits, but the able-bodied
preacher who quits his pulpit for q
better place is traitor and hypocrits,
unworthy of public countenanee or
patronage.--BarnwelI People.

EDUCATING CHILDREN AT HONE.

ten years old, for single week, and
only during the hours not spent IN
school. Let him make companion
of his child, converse with him fa-5
miliarly, put to him questions, answer.

suit of his reading or observations,
awaken his curiosity, explain difficult

this in an easy, playful manner with
out seeming to impose task, and he
will be astonished at the progress
which will be made.

TROUBLE IN SILVER MINE.
BY BILL NYE.

A few nights ago a we'll organ
lied effort was made to jump the
Centennial mine, which came very
near being a success. The parties
who undertook to jump the mine
were two Rocky Mountain pole
cats with a bad record. Almost
as soon as they entered the tun-
mel from the east the men in the
mine began to be suspicious that
somebody with a bad breath was
in the lower level. The suspicion
grew until it assumed about the
size of a bale Of hay. Maj. Dow
ney went down and threw a
chunk of free milling quartz at
the enemy. Then the Maj. went
back to the rest of the party to
hold a consultation. The rest Of
the party didn't seem so ticklcd
to see him as his presence wasn't
agreeable under the circumstances.
Although the mine is very val
liable one, IL was almost decided at
one time to abandon it to the
jumpers. At last, however, every.
body made grand rush for the
tunnel and demolished the enemy
with long.bandled shovels. Maj.
Dowuey handed the above infor-
nation into the Office with u long
pole. He also told a friend that
he would 60 out of town this
forenoon to quiet spot beyond
the graveyard and change his
! clothes. The Rocky Mountain
polecat, before it is domesticated.
is not priced as a songster very
much, but he has way Of max
ing his presence felt wherever be
goes, and even in death you can
not forget him. There was one
of these docile creatures got into
our cellar once, good many
years ago, and the ventilation o:
the cellar being very poor, the
air was soon vitiated to such ar
extent the clock stopped. W.

How TO DISPOSE OF TROUBLE.
SOME POLITICIANS. = Republican
politicians seem to be devoting
all their talents and skill toward
tapping the national till in as
many directions as possible and at
the same time continuing their
policy of centraiization. The dis
position evinced by the party
managers at the present session
of Congress indicates that posit-
cal junk shop is to be established
into which all of the old and use.
less material in the shape of par.
tisans who have gone to seed, is
to be cast and paid to stay there
in blissful Incidence for the bal
ance Of their days. AS party
man becomes troublesome and
bandicaps his friends too heavily,
he will be given a sinecure posi-
tion like that which General G.
has just received, and each year
will draw his bribe and keep out
Of the way of the younger aspi,
rants. In fire, the surplus in the
treasury is entirely too large to
suit the theories of Republicans,
as it is an argument against a high
protection tariff, that cannot be
successfully met. Every con.
ceisable scheme is therefore be.
ing adopted which will render q
larger expenditure Of money ne
cessary, and necessitate the re
tention of heavy taxation and the
exhorbitant tariff. We may next
expect to see a bill passed retir
ing the Presidents on half pay
with the understanding that they
will keep their fingers out of the
political pie and go out Of politics
permanently GreenviNe Ne'0s.

females face was a perfect III
surance company-it insured her
against ever getting married to
anybody but a blind man. Her
mouth looked like a crack in a

expression in her face than there
is in a cup Of cold custard. She
appeared as though she had been
through one famine and had got
about two-tbirds through another.
She was old enough to be great
grandmother to Mary that had
the little lamb. She was chew

yellow rose, while a bandbox and
a cotton umbrella nestled swectly
by her eide. I couldn't guess
