MANY bright smile conceals a breaking
heart, or hides life long grief. Those who
know Lota would scarcely think that she was
one of this unfortunate class, yet the follow
ing is written Of her about 10 years ago
Lolita fell head over ears in love with a young
Philadelphia of excellent family. He loved
her with equal passion, but his parents dis
dained the little actress partly on account of
her profession and partly because of the dis
reputable old man Crab;ree, who called him
self her father. The couple were devoted to
each other, however, and the wedding day ap.
pointed. Ske reposed the fullest confidence
in him. But one night he disappeared with
$4,000 of her money. Investigation showed
he had lost it in gambling den. 1t was a
cruel blow to poor Lota. His parents reim-
bursed her, but it wasn't the money she
wanted Nobody could give her back her
faith in mankind After a while the tickle
Philadelphian died suddenly. I've heard he
called Tor a farewell kiss from Lolita on his
death bed, but she never knew il. Whenever
she goes to Philadelphia she spends one day
visiting his grave, heavily yelled, covering it
with flowers and sobbing to herself until sky
darkens, and she goes back to the theater."
Whether this is true or not we have no mean
of knowing, but if it is it only shows the true
womanly side of the great artistic.

From the Nashville American.
An incident which was both rich and racy,
and quite laughable, actually did occur near
Smyrna, in this state. few days SINCE which
was about as follows: One Of our neighbors,
Mr.. 7. D., sheared the long wool Of his favorite
pet sheep few days since. As the shades Of
evening began to gather the air grew chilly.
Mr.. D. being man Of much sympathy, and in
order to make bis pet as pleasant as possible,
took shirt and pulled it over the body of the
sheep. and buttoned the collar around the
Sleeps neck, and let the sleeves hang loose. like
a pair OF wings. Mr.. d. g faithful dog espied
this wonderful freak Of art and nature, and
made battle at the poor creature at once. The
poor sheep jumped the yard fence and ran for
his life 1t ran into the public road just as Mrs.
r. ID. Nicholson and infant child CHANGED to be
riding by. Her horse grew frightened and ran
Tor several hundred yards, but as fate would
have 1t she remained firm in her saddle, and
neither she nor the child was hurt.
On the following morning this wonderful, ceIe-
DRAFTED sheep made its appearance in Joe Der
ryDerrys field, where its visit caused a general
stampede, where the swapping of trace chains
ana knocking down fences, and the word
whoa! whoa! whOa!" bursting from the mouths
OF piOw boys, made music in the air. During
the DAY MI. ID. was seen hunting a sheep that
could be easily Identified. because 1t had shirt
on.

ADVICE TO DYsPEPrrCs.


The late Dr. Leared, in his recently published
essay on 1.-The Causes and Treatment of Indi-
gestion lays down as a fundamental principle
that the amount Of food which each man is
capable of digesting with ease always has a
limit which bears relation to his age, constitu-
ton. health and habits, and that indigestion is
consequence Of exceeding this limit Different
kinds of food are also differently adapted to diff
ferent constitutions. Dyspepsia may be brought
on by eating irregularly. by allowing too long
an interval between meals, and by eating too
often. Frequently the meals are not gagged as
10 their relative amount, or distributed with
due regard to health. Thus. when we 90 out
after taking light breakfast and keep at our
work, with a still tighter lunch only during the
interval till evening. we are apt. with the solid
Meal which tempts US to indulgence to put the
stomach to harder test than It can bear
"hen ilgnt breakfast is eaten. solid meal is
requisite In the middle of the day. When the
organs are lett too long unemployed they secrete
an excess OF mucus. which greatly interfcres
with digestion. One meal has direct influence
on the next, and poor breakfast leaves the
stomach over active for dinner. The
point to bear in mind is. that not to eat suffi-
Cheney OF one meal makes you too hungry for
the next; and that when you arc too hungry,
ycn are apt to overload the stomach and give
the gastric juices more to do than they have the
power to perform"
Persons who eat one meal too quickly on
to give notice that it is imposed upon. Other
Proyocatives OF dyspepsia are imperfect masti-
cation, smoking and snuff-takiDg, which occa-
sion waste OF saliva, although some people
find that smoking assists digestion. If done in
moderation; sitting in positions that cramp the
stomach and the pressure that is inflicted on
the stomach by the tools of some trades, as Of
curriers', shOemakers and weavcrs. The general
symptoms OF dyspepsia are we'll known Some
that deserve special remark are fancies that the
limbs Or the hands are distorted, mental de-
preston, extreme nervousness, bypochOndria.
and other affections Of the mind. The cure is
to be sought in avoiding the food and habits by
which dyspepsia is promoted, and using aud
practising those which are found to agree best
with the system of the subject. Regularity in
the hours of meals cannot be too strongly in

many birds die young Is that they are not

Emperor Williams Wardrobe.

From the Hatter's Gazette.
An interesting and extensive wardrobe is that
OF Emperor William. His uniforms comprise
one OF each of the regiments Of the guards and
of the body regiments; one each of Baden Ba-
varia, Saxony and Wurtemburg; four Russian
uniforms, and one each of his Austrian regi-
ments Of the line and hussars. The civilian
suits are elegant and chiefly dark, although a
light pair of pantaloons is now and then tolera-
ted; the regular head covering is the high silk
hat The hunting suits are rarely renewed, on
the principle the older the better and more COM
Portable. Most of the interesting pieces have
long been sent to different museums except
the dress worn on the day of Nobiling's attempt
Perhaps the most remarkable piece is the en-
peror's brownish-gray havelock. which he wears
in the spring and fall on his drives, and with
which, although nearly twenty-five years DID,
he Is not willing to part. Ali his uniforms and
suits are made by member OF the same family,
whose predecessors presented the young Prince
William with his first uniform. Numerous as
the contents Of the wardrobe have been and
still are. it has never held an article which
nearly every citizen looks upon as an indispen-
sable one, viz, q dressing-gown.
