MyBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

Athens, and his hired man, Morse, hearing
noise in the barn one evening, went there and
found the large dcor open, which had been Sc
cured by hasp on the inside. Cousins told
Morse to wait and he would get his revolver
Cousins got his revolver and returned to the
barn with a lantern, They found one horse
bridled and backed several feet from the stall
where he had been hitched. Morse said, ''I'll
go and shut the door and if the rogue is in
here we'll have him." Immediately Cousins
heard fall, and having light went toward
the door where he had heard the noise. He
found Morse had been knocked down by some
unseen hand Blood was flowing freely from
his nose. He had received the blow on the
head aud check. When he came to conscious
ness, which was some thirty minutes, he said
the last he remembered Yves of putting up his
hand to hasp the door. They think the villain
was in the barn and finding he was going to be
caught made his escape by striking Morse and
fleeing through the open door,

A Montana story.

Butte (Mont) Inter Ocean: Eight miles north
of Butte is sprine which is bonanza in it's
way, there being great deal of gold in the
waters. Tno discovery was made accidentally
several years since. A prospector in that
neighborhood cleaned out the spring and was
daily in the habit of going there for water.
One evening rather late he went as usual and
while dipping water, dislodged o boulder which
fell into the spring. Next mortling he took the
stone out and was surprised to see ii
coated with gold. Regularly thereafter he has
immersed in the waters boulders of various
sizes, and his daily cleanup averaged from
half an ounce to three ounces of gold dust
The discoverer Is now a rich man, and has or
dered system of plates to supersede the
boulders for catching the gold. This is GER
tainly one of the most remarkable discoveries
ever made in the West, and it is an innovation
on the customary methods of mining. The
authenticity of this story is vouehed for by re-
liable gentlemen in this city, who this morning
related the above facts to reporter.

Spread their fragrance everywhere:

Lay our hero, Dick, reclining,

Coming here. BY Jove, it's Lul
Happy thought! I'll feign Slumber,

Ger his laughing hazel eyes,
And with blissful expectation
There he waited for the prize
Nearer, nearer came the footsteps
Lightly as fairy's tend,
While within his wicked ambush
Richard waited for the end.
Softly they approach the sofa,
Surely he il is they seek:
And, surprised and joyed. he felt o
Timid kiss upon his cheekl
Thrilled with fond imagination,
Up he sprang with ardor then,
And, with loves own burning passion,

Clasped him with delicious triumph.

TEN LITTLE PEAS.

Ten little peas in pod
Wanted to see the world,
But the vine said, mol
You must wait and grow,
Here In your snug nest curled.
'You must drink the rain and the dew,
And warm yourselves in the sun,
Then fall asleep
In slumber deep,
When the summer days are done.
"But in spring you shall open your eye5.
And tender fingers spread,
And dance in the breeze
From fhe orchard trees,
And wear crown on your headI"
But the ten little peas in tho pod
Would not heed to the sweet yine-mothet.
We cannot wait
For tine sprine so late!''
Said each to his tretful trother.
Cook Margery down the path
Came dressed in her apron whita
The peas said, "Hark!"
In the pleasant dark,
But the poor vine shooA with fright.
Into her basket slipped
The ten little peas together,
And they cried in glee,
AT last we shall see
the sun and the sky and the weatherl
But the pod crashed over their heads,
And the fire in the range was hot,
And willing or nay,
They must dance away
Their lives in the boiling pot.
