Things ! Hate.

! hate to see the world go wrong
| mean the people in it
| wish they would sit down and think,
If only for minute.
And try to act like honest men
And faithful, loving women:
Oh, what a blessing it would be
To all in our dominion.
hate to see churchman,
With face so long and grave,
With tears rolling down his cheeks,
Pray God nay soul to save.
If ask him for dollar
TO buy my babes some bread,
He'll very soon dry up his tears,
And shake his sanity head.
hate to see man that looks
With longing eyes the while
Ur in the boss's face, in hopes
From him to draw smile;
And if perchance the boss should laugh,
Anu tuat way turh HIS eye,
This miserable, crawling thing
With joy would nearly die.
| hate to see checkweighman.
That is paid two dollars per day
| BY his humble fellow workmen.
Turning from them away,
And weighing for the operator,
At the very same machine.
For dollar and fifty cents IA day.
Does he think the men are greenp
| hate to look upon a man
Taking himself wife,
And bringing her to his mothers house,
10 make her sad for life.
Saying, "My darling, you must do
All that my mother may say,
Because you took solemn vow
Your husband to obey"
What shall we do with all such menp
IT'S enough to make one swear;
But it takes all sorts to make a world;
Then let US all beware.

All health seekers. whether from Northern
or Southern States, should try the climate of
the lableland. The recent United States
Census shows it to lie almost the only district
east OF the Rocky Mountains, entirely fl ce from
malarial, pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
The Plateau has a double climate. one
resulting from latitude and the other from
elevation. The air is pure and invigoiating.
The water is frceslone; cool and sparkling.
Mineral springs are numerous.
The mean summer temperature is " deg.

nights are always cool and refreshing.
SOIL.
The soil is a sandy loan upon mulatto

generously to the least fertilizer.
CROPS AND GRASSES.
Corn, wheat, rye, oats, and barley all grow
well, though this is not claimed as a grain

only are its bright and costly pictorials
displayed on every side, for miles and

paper and programmes scattered like
snow flakes, but there is solid, en-
phatic style In its manner of presenting
its claims which command attention
and begets confidence. 1t is conspicu-
Gus for not INDUCING in the stale, dis

bination," and e-shows-in-one'
clap-trap, which has always proved
delusion and a snare and INVOLVES such
preposterous claims as to utterly dis
credit itself with all except the greenest
fools. On the contrary, it assumes only
to be one new and great show, which is
the best of reasons for believing it to be
so. Neither does it resort to manu-
factured names and purposely-m mixed
and vague generalities and figures, in
order to convey the swindling impress
sion that it has rare attractions, which,
in fact, have no honest existence.
It's attractions are multifarious as well
as novel, and it is matter of surprise
how many strictly new features can be
crowded in single exhibition. Zebras
broken to perform incredible feats,
hurdle reindeers, giraffes harnessed to
Roman racing chariots, Hariman's
steam airsnip in operation, man sized
riding cynocephalus, elks harnessed
tandem, ten funny clowns in simulta-
neous rivalry. high and long distance
double somersault leapers, peerless ex-
ploits in the gymnasium, extraordinari-
ly-trained thoroughbred horses, comi-
cal school monkey comedians, monster
living White Nile Hippopotamus, ex-
traordinary feats of herculean strength,
deeds of masculine and feminine in
trepidity, and in fact, so great an array
of novelties and surprises that it would
transcend the limits of newspaper
notice to give them even the briefest
mention. The street parade is CON-
mensurate in magnitude and grandeur

among other attractions 80 Arabian

A Powerful Magnet.

Prof. Smyth was lecturing in
Ossipe on natual philosophy, and,
in the course of his experiment, he
introduced one of Carrington's
most powerful magnets, with which
he attracted block of iron from a
distance of two feet.
Scan any of you conceive of a
greater or more attractive power?"
the lecturer inquired.
Il KEN" answered voice from
the audience.
"Not a natural terrestrial object,
1 opinee"
"Yaas, sir"
The professor had challenged
the man who had spoken to name
the thing.
Then rose up old Seth Wimlet.
He was a genius in his way, and an
original at that. He said:
81 ken give you the facts, squire,
an-you ken judge for yourself.
When wer a young man, thar wer
little piece of natural magnetism
done up in kaliker an dimity as
was called Betsy Jane. She could

The audience sympathized with
Seth, as was manifested in their
uproarious applause.

The Number Nine.

You cannot get rid of the figure
nine by multiplication and scarcely
by any method. Whatever you do it
is sure turn up again, as was the
body of Eugene Aram's victim.
One remarkable property of this
figure (said to have heen discovered
in 1894, is that all through the
multiplication table the product of
nine comes to nine. Multiply by
what you like, and it gives the
result. Begin with twice nine, ID;
add the digits together and 1 and
makes 8; three times 9 are 27; and
and Z are nine. So it goes on, up
to eleven times nine, which gives SO.
Very good; add the digits; 8 and
are Is, and s and l are 9. Going
on to any extent, it is impossible to
get rid of the figure nine. Take a
couple of instances at random.
Three hundred and thirty-nine
times nine are 3,051; add up the
figures and they are nine. Five
thousand and seventy one times
nine are 1869; the sum of these
digits is 27; 2 and are nine.

The New RAILROAD.

DEAR SIR:-I was much gratified
to see the statement in the last is
sue of the CITIZEN in regard to what
Col. Solon E. Rose had done in
Chicago in regard to the railroad.
1t seems to me it would be better
for the road to turn off at or near
Cairo and come through Mayfield,
KY, and Paris, Tenn. This would
give the Illinois Central Railroad
the business of Graves county, KY,
of Henry county Tenn. The road
can easily be built if the Illinois
Central will aid the enterprise. The
people in Alabama are anxious to
have the road and if they could see
any prospect of it they would be
willing to aid literally. This would
be the most valuable and important
railroad in the south as it would
connect most important CONNER
cial points and would run through
the richest country in the southern
states. No road can supercede this
or do away with its necessity.
1t connects the stock raising,
grain raising, and tobacco region
with the mineral and cotton coun-
try. The more this project is
thought of and the better it is un-
derstood, the more will its import
ance appear and the more will it be
appreciated. l hope Col. Rose can
be induced to canvass the line of
this road. know of no one who can
do it more ably or more success
fully. Yours Very Truly

WHAT SHALL THE BOYS Dos
a Question Of Interest and hot Eas-
lily Answered.

Parents are continually confront
ed with this question. Many pa
rents answer it wrongly. Tie ia
ther desires that his sons shall not
undergo the toll and selfdenial thai
he has undergone, forgetting, Oh
not realizing in any proper sense
that it was that toll and that self
denial that made him the man he is.
The mother has her foolish notions
about the respectability of certain
grades of employment which enable
those following them to wear good
clothes and exhibit few of the su-
perficial evidences OF refinement and
culture. The boy, with his inexpe-
rience and inability to look below
the surface of things, is easily led
to follow the well-intended but fool
ish judgment OF his parents and
commences life by swelling the list
of book keepers without a ledger,
doctors without patients, lawyers
without clients, and genteel clerks
without employment.
The first thing the parent or
teacher should do is to study careful
ly the boys aptitudes Having done
this he should be taught that any
kind of honest labor is honorable,
and that what he could do best
should be his calling, no matter
whether it vas to make shoes or
carriages, to raise cattle or butcher
them. Many a boy who might in
time become a good farmer, owning
farm and home of his own, be-
comes an indifferent hand-to mouth
salesman in store at salary that
will barely keep soul and body to-
gether and provide no accumulation
for sickness or old age. Many a
boy, who, by learning the machin
lists trade could some day be at the
head of a great mandatory, re-
mains in obscurity and poverty be-
cause his parents thought the pro-
tession of book keeper would be
more genteel
A little study of the advertising
columns in a great daily journal, or
an inquiry among leading business
men of any thriving town, would
cause a revelation that should
serve to determine from making
semi-dudes of their sons by crowd
ing the already overcrowded posi-
tions of clerks and book keepers
with them. In the city of New
York there are at the present time
5000 book keepers out of employ
ment, and of the $4,000 who have
more or less steady employment in
that calling in that city very few
receive over $25 per week, while a
far greater number are glad to re-
ceive $40 to $15. A business man
of the city lately advertised for
clerk at $40 week and had 700 APP
plicants for the place. In view of
these facts the parents of boys
should urge them to learn trades, TO
90 into the shops or on the farm,
anywhere honest work is done, and |
to avoid as they would the pesti-
lence the semi genteel callings, which |
are so over crowded that the ma
iority who are dependent on them
have no hope of more than the bar
est subsistence while they remain in
them.-Philadelphia Times.

On his Kita.-

Once, during the great American
war, mother was sitting silent and
alone-as so many mothers use tC
sit in sadness during those dark
and terrible days-when her little
boy came to her and saidl
"Mamma, what makes yon fee
so sad?''
Eddie" said the mother, "there
has been a battle, and l am afraid
your father has been killed or
wounded"
The little fellow listened to her
words and presently went away.
She saw him afterward playing on
the floor and fixing his kite, and he
seemed to be writing something on
it, and presently he went out of
doors with the kite. After little
while he returned, with his face all
sunshine and rainbows, and said /:
% mamma, 1 wrote on the kite,
sPlease, God, take care of papa, and
bring him safe home again. and
then 1 sent the kite up just as far
as l conld, and / cut the string; and
/ guess He has got it by this timer
No doubt an unbeliever would
smile at Eddie's faith, and at the
story of his kite; but a prayer sent
up in such confidence as that is far
more likely to reach its destination
than many an eloquent petition ut
tered in the mildest of form and
pomp and splendor, but which
never reaches the throne of the
Majesty on high. / would sooner
trust a petition for the things
needed on Eddie's kite, than on the
lips of the proud Pharisee who,
with his 'God, thank thee prays
to tell the Lord how good he is, and
whose worship consists in looking
up to the Most High.
Let us learn, when we cry to God,
