Whatever Capt. Stokes, of Hen
nings Station, Tenn, found to do,
lie did it with such might that the
other evening, while he was fishing
in the Tennessee River, he was so
intent upon his occupation that he
did not heed the stings of the
gnats; but they stung him so that
he was poisoned to death, and his
head and face, rapidly swollen.
caused him intense suffering, which
ended with his death at daylight
the next morning.

A great desideratum in the prep
aration of medicine is that it should
be palatable without losing its eff
cacy. This is the case with PRICKLY
ASH BIJTERs, and being graded as
regards their cathartic properties,
they are better adapted for general
use than any other similar article. A
trial will convince the most skeptical.

Just the Girl for Him.

His name was Augustus Smythe; he
was clerk in dry goods store, and
he didn't earn enough to decently starve
on, but with the sublime assurance that
distinguishes the '1ah-de-dah" young
man of the day, he was paying his at
tentions to the prettiest girl in Detroit.
He managed, by not paying his wash
erwoman and tailor, to take her to the
theater and opera, but as times were
getting hard he concluded to marry her
and save the expense of boarding. BY
some process Of mental arithmetic he
succeeded in discovering with much
difficulty that what was not enough for
one was enough for two; and he con-
cluded to pop. He knew that his per-
sistent visits had kept all other young
men away, so he had no fears of rival.
When the time came and he found him.

her papa's comfortable parlor, he leis-

sofa, took her little dimpled hand, used

to marry"
Laura started as he intended she
should.
Then he resumed grandiloquently,

in poverty than dwell with some other

a pleasure to serve me, cook my meals,
keep the house tidy, and listen for my
footsteps. Who would rise up early
and sit up late for my sake"
ooh, how beautiful" murmured
Laura "ust like dear, self-sacrifcing
man."
"Do you know of such a one, my
angel?"

vently; "but you must not call me
your angel, for she might not like it ;
she's in the kitchen now washing the
dishes, and she told mother this morn
ing that she'd just as lieve get married
this winter as live out, if she only felt
able to support husband. She's just
the girl you want and she'd love you
within an inch of your life"
