Brick POmer0y's Advice to Bows.

You are learning a trade. That is
good thing to have. 1t is better
than gold. Brings always premium.
But to bring premium the trade
must be perfect-no plated. silver af-
fair. When you go to learn a trade.
do SO with determination to win.
Make up your mind what you will
be, and be it. Determined in your
own mind to be good work man.
Bid your time.
Learn to- wait,
Learn to labor
Trust in fate.
Ever honest
Keep your pluck.
Ever faithful
Trust in luck.
Have pluck and patience. Lookout
for interests of your empIoyer-thus
you will learn to look out for your
own. Do not wait to be told every
thing. Remember. Act as though
you wished to learn. If you have an
GRAND to do start off like a boy with
some life. Look about you. See how
the best workman in the shop does,
and copy after him. Learn to do
things well. Whatever is worth do
ing at all, is worth doing well. Never
slight your work. Every job you do
is sign. Ifyou have done one in ten
minutes see ifyou can not do the next
in nine. Too many spoil lifetime
by not having patience. They work
at trade until they see about one
half of its mysteries, and strike for
higher wages. Act as if your inter-
est and the interest of your employer
were the same. Good mechanics are
the props of society. They are those
who stuck to their trades until they
learned them. People always speak
we'll of boy who minds his own
business-who is willing to work, and
who seems to be disposed to be some
body in time. Learn the whole of
your trade.

General LanguOr.

Among the list of distinguished
military heroes the names of General
Languor or Debility do not appear.
Yet, it is well authenticated fact.
that there are times when the pulse
lies low in the bosom and beats feebly
in the arteries. The spirit of the in.
dividual is sleepy, and the whole
tendency of the body is toward rest
and decay. AT such times and dur
ing such seasons, the system needs
toning up by the use of some good
and pure tonic which will restore the
organs to the wonted state. Such a
tonic is found in Pera1aG, which is ac-
knowledged by all to be the very
thing to put these famous generals to,
rout, and to ultimately conquer them.

shows in what estimation Peraaaa is
held, and then send for the book en-

A Sorrowing Mothers Make-BelleVe
Baby.
Detroit Post.l

There was a tired-looking woman
came into the Michigan Central depot
the other day and sat down to wall
for a train. Two small children chung
to her skirts, aud in her arms she
carried an infant, closely wrapped
up, and with an old veil tied In a
double fold across its small face. Inc
mother had a sachel and some boxes
which she managed to carry at the
same time, and she settled the chill
dren on each side of her, and prepar'
ed tor a long sitting, for the train was
late.
The children were quiet little
things, and amused themselves the
mother sat and held the baby IN
tight clasp and looked far off with
eyes that seemed to be watching oyer
grave. Tears fell softly now and
then, sometimes on one of the bright
haired children, again on the dress of
the baby in her arms, and these the
little ones would brush softly away
1t was evident that they had seen
their mother weep often.
But the other passengers who wait
ed got nervous over it. A good wo;
man with a kind face offered seed
cake to the children, but they shrank
from her. People came and went,
and something in the woman's face
made them stop and look at her, but
she did not see them. A white.
drawn, quivering mouth and fearful
eyes attested some great sorrow.
At last a little fussy man, who had
been jumping up and down and rub
bling his hands and crying "Bless
mel" under his breath, went up to
the stricken woman and executed a
sort of war dance in front of her.
"Bless me, madam" he exclaimed,
rubbing his hands till they were
ablaze with the friction, "but you'll
smother that baby"
The woman looked at him as if she
didn't comprehend what he meant,
at can't possibly breathe. ma'am,
with double veil over its face; say,
you'll smoother that child"
Hethought her either deaf or crazed
and the rest of the passengers had the
same fears. The woman laid her limp
burden in her lap and began with
trembling hands to undo the veil.
"My baby is dead" she said in low
voice, but which all heard.
"Good gracious, ma'am"-began
the little man.
"These are her clothes," she con-
tinued in broken voice 81 carried
her in my arms and next to- my heart
for two years, and now my heart and
my arms are both empty but | don't
miss her 50 much when / have these,
and the children forget that she is
dead and buried away from US all. "
She picked up her senseless burden
and rocked herself to and fro, but
kind hands led her away and kind
voices whispered words of hope to
her, and at last the poor half-crazed
mother consented to lay aside the
empty garments and take to her arms
and heart the little ones she had we'll
nigh forgotten,

A Mail Carriers Adventure,

The fourteen-feet-lOng shoes of
"Snowshoe Thompson" will be sent
to the Louisville Exhibition by II.
McKustic, superintendent of the rail-
way mail service on the Pacific coast.
The shoes are those built for Thomp'
son, who was a rnail-carrier on Yari
Gus Sierra Nevada routes for many
years, and died only few years ago.
If history of a few of the startling
adventures encountered by ThOmp-
son could be sent along with the
shoes, they would, indeed, be an in
teresting exhibit. One morning when
Thompson was resting at hut near
Yank's Station something knocked
at the door, and, on going to open it,
Thomson saw big grizzly. Thomp-
son jumped back, and the bear wad-
died in and gave evidence of his sat
isfaction at the prospect of mail
carrier for a winter feast. He couldn't
get cut OF the door,. SO. Thor pson
jumped up, caught hold of a cross
beam and drew himself up. The bear
camped underneath, and grinned in
dignantly, as though saying; "Well,
old fellow. you've got to drop sooner
or later; here goes to see which one
of us can outlast the other"
Thompson sat it out all that day
and the following night. There was
no use in crying for help, as none
would be within hailing until spring.
He could not jump down and fight
the bear with his pocket knife, his
only weapon, and, altogether, the
case looked pretty desperate for the
old mail-carrier. His snoWshoes were
leaning from one end of the cabin to
the wall at the other end, and Thomp-
son finally opened his knife and
dashed it with his scarf, torn in strips,
on one end of one shoe, making a
formidable lance Oft. While the bear
camped under him he could not use
his lance, the cabin not being long
enough. Thompson at last got the
animal outside the door by tossing
one of his stockings out, which the
bear lunged out to investigate, That
got him far enough to be prodded,
and Thompson prepared. When the
grizzly had shifted the bait it turned
round, facing the door, and found
itself within a foot of Thompson's
lance point. The old mail-carrier
only had foot to draw back his lance.
but he used it to good advantage, for,
carefully drawing it back, he gave
it sudden lunge forward, the knife
entering the BEARS brain through one
of its eyes.
When the exhausted mail-carrier
reached Yank's and told his story, it
was doubted, although Thompson
had a remarkable reputation for truth
telling among those hardy liars of
the mountains. "There, if you don't
believe me boys" Thompson said,
"the United States mail ken wait
until my carrackter is vindikated.
I'll not leave this place until some of
We doubling lubbers has gone back
thar and brought me a steak from
that thar bar" And it was done.
Yank himself and some of the men
about the station went back on snow
shoes, and Thompson had his dinner
off a steak of the bear he had killed
with his snoa shoe lance.

Drunkenness Cured.

1t is generally presumed that when
a man has been cured once of some
infirmity or complication of diseases
by the use of our medicine, that he
knows a good thing when he sees it.
1t is stated by those who know that a
monkey cannot be induced to partake
a second time of any drink which
contains alcohol. Itappears as if the
memory of the pangs and tortures
first inflicted exert beneficial in+
fluence upon the animal. Man is quite
different in this regard, and glance
about us will show that numbers of
our friends and neighbors are daily
becoming the worse by the use of in
toxicants. This can be remedied by
the moderate use of well known
remedy called Pere10. If the medic
cine is taken daily, the appetite for
liquor will be finally removed, and
the patient, no matter what his pre-
viOus condition, will be restored to
sobriety and to society. Yes, Pere1'o
is great medicine, and should be
used by all. Send for it.

LODI, o May 2l.-Mrs. Ann Eliza
Young, of Mormon fame, nineteenth
wife Of Brigham Young, was married

banker of Manistee, Mich. The Ger.
emony was performed at the residence
of DR., A. E. Elliott. The Rev. Il. A.
Stone, Of Gallon o., officiated. Mrs.
Young's sou witnessed the ceremony.
There we're large number of guests

the Walker House, the Gentle hotel
in Salt Lake City. She remained
there until November -, of the same
