A Fine Exhibit.
Bradley's Blankets and Woolen
Goods Display Unap-
prOachable.

A short distance west of the music stand in
the Pittsburgh Exposition S. Bradley & Sons
have a very fine exhibit of wooden goods from
their mill on River avenue, Allegheny. The
principla item in the display are blankets bear
ing their celebrated brand "Lilly of the West" 4"
These attracted the attention Of quite a number
of ladies, and frequent remark was made of the
softness OF the texture, their fine neecy finish
and their general appearance of durability and
genuine worth. This firm makes a specially
of work of this kind, and in this particular are
without superior in the country. They have
been perfecting their machinery year by year
until it is now ahead ofmany of the principal
factories of the East. They buy none but the
very best stock, and take the greatest pains in
working it up to free the wool from all foreign
substances which would determine the quality
of the product. In their coloring department
they use only the very best dyes, and there
has never been any complaint of their colors
fading or rotting the woods. Their doable
scarlet mottled blankets are particularly worth
seeing in visit to the Exposition. Before
making their purchases our readers should ask
for Bradeys Lily of the West.
Ritter 4 Ralston have for years been the
agents for thees goods in Butler, and now have
a large stock of them on hand.

BOYS Will BE BOYS.

A boy will tramp two hundred and
forty miles in one day on a rabbit hunt
and be timber in the evening; when, if
YOU ask him to cross the street and
borrow Jones two-inch auger, he will
be as stiff as a meat block. And he
will go swimming all day and stay in
the water three hours ut a time, and
splash and dive, and paddle and puff,
and next morning he will feel that an
unmeasured insult has been offered
him when he is tcld by his mother to
wash his face. And he'll wander
around a dry creek bed all the evening
piling up a pebble fort, and nearly die
when his big sister wants him to pick
up a basket of chips for the parlor
stove. And he'll spend the biggest
part of his time in trying to corner a
stray mule or a barebacked horse for
a ride. and feel that all life's charms
have fed when it comes his turn to
drive the COWS home. And he'll turn
Il ten-acre lot upside down for ten
inches of angle worms, and wish for
the voiceless tomb when the garden
demands attention.

The Applicant Withdrew.

The story comes from Washington
that recently when a $1,000 employe
of the Senate died, Sergeant-at-Arms
Bright received an application for the
vacancy. Colonel Bright read the
recommendation, and said at once:
VERY well, you a have the place"
The applicant was evidently aston
ished, and asked, when can l take
hold?" you a begin today"
began Colonel Bright; "but let me ex-
plain the situation. You see, when
Mr.. st. John was buried it left his
$1,000 place vacant. The next man
under him, a very capable one, receiv-
ing 5000, was promoted. A laborer
next below him at $72O, stepped into
the 5000 place, and a man under him
was then lifted Il little, and so on
through the whole list, until the place
really left vacant by the death of Mr..
st. John is a place in the stable to
curry horses at 81 a day. You can
have that and begin work at once"
The applicant withdrew.

THE OLDEST FRIEND.

Oh, Life, my life It's many a year sirco we
Took hands together, and came through
the morn,
When thou and Day and 1 wero newly
born
And fair the future looked, and glad and
free,
A year as long as whole Eternity,
And full of roses with no singing thorn
And full of joys that could not be out
worn;
And time was measurelcss for thee and me.
Long have we Jared together, thou and l;
Thou hast grown dearer, rs old friends
must grow;
Small wonder if l dread to say goodbye
When our long pact Is over, and l go
To enter strange, new worlds beyond the sky
With Death, thy rival, to whom none saith
"No."
Louise C. Mouiton, in Harper.
