Why the Bad Boys Pa Couldn't Get Home

"Oh, people are not all as good as
you and / are" said the grocery man,
as he watched the boy making sneak
on bunch of grapes. "But did you
go to the circus ?"
'Circus : Well, l should assimilate.
And it is wonder am not there yet.
But, whatever you do, don't ask pa if
he was at the circus, cause he will kill
you. You see pa and drove up to
the raco track, where the circus was, in
the evening, and after the circus was
out we waited to see the men take
the tents down, and after they had
gone we started to drive home. 1t was
darker than squaw's pocket, and l
| drove out on the race-track, and the
| old horse used to be racer and he
pricked up his ears. Pa took the lines
aud said he would drive, cause we were
out pretty late aud ma would be ner.
vous. l told pa didn't believe he was
on the right road, but he said he guess
ed nobody could fool him about the road
to town, and bless me if he didn't drive
around that track about eight times.
Every time we passed the grand stand,
which pa couldn't see OH account of his
eyes, l LATED but l thought if he knew
the road so confounded well could
ride as long as he could.
"After we had rode around the track
about eight miles, and l was getting
sleepy, l mildly suggested that we had
better stop at house and inquire the
way to town, and pa got mad and ask
ed me if took him for fool. Then
he drove around couple of times
more, and the man that keeps the track
he came out with lantern and said
Hello! Pa stopped and asked him
what he wanted, and he said, %, moth
in and pa drove on and told him to
mind his business. We went around
the track again, and when we got to
the same place the man was there, and
: l guess pa thought it was time to in
quire the way, so he pulled up and ask
ed the man what he was doing there,
: and the man said he was minding his
own business. Pa asked him if we
were on the right road to town, and the
man said if we wasn't in hurry he
=. would like to have us drive on the
track all night, as it was little heavy,
; and he wanted to get it in condition to
speed the colts next day, but if we had
to go we could drive out the gate and
take the first left-hand road.
; "Well, pa was mad, and he wanted
: to know why didn't tell him we were
on the track, but told him he seemed
: to know it all, and it was dangerous to
, advise man who knew it all. HI
l didn't speak all the way to town, bu
e when / put out the horse he said, Hen
), merry, if this thing gets out your pa will
have the reputation of being drunk. l
you tell of it you are no friend of mine
So shall not say anything about it
a cause its bad boy that will go bacl
u on his pa"

POETICAL.
PERSEVERANCE.

swallow In the Spring
Came to my granary, and meath the caves
Essayd to make a nest, and there did bring
Wet earth and straw, and leaves
Day after day she tolld
With patient heart. and ere her work was
crown'd
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoilt,
And dashed 1t TO the ground.
She found the ruin wrought
But not cast down. forth from the place she flew
And with her mate, fresh earth and grass brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on the ample floor,
When wicked hands, or chance again laid waste
And wrought the ruin DER
But still her heart she kept
And tolrd again, and last night hearing calls,
look'd and three little swallows slept
Within the earthmade walls.
What truth Is here Oh man,
Has hope been smitten In its early dawn?
Has clouds overcast thy purpose, trust or plan
Have faith and struggle on.

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are we'll
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head.
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively net injurious,

Gents Upon the recommenda-

lRoN BITTERs as tonic and re-
storatlve for my daughter, whom
! was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress Of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
Ter had taken one bottle OF BRowEs
lRos BIITERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began TO
sh " signs Of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
qurcd;" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowR's
lRoH BIrTHRs, responded THAT is
good tonic, take it,"

sanitary Condition Of cape nav.

The sanitary condition of Cape May
is in the best possible shape to be Sc
cured by science, skilled labor, and a
large outlay Of money. No city on the
Atlantic coast is better protected
against malaria and the diseases re-
sulting from it than Cape May. Its
| water supply is drawn from the purest
and most wholesome sources, and is
inexhaustible in quantity as it is ex-
/ ceptiOaal in quality The city is free
| from all nui~ances, and the authorizes
are quick to discover and abate any
danger to The health of its resident or
visiting population. The streets are
models of neatness and cleanliness.
while the clay Of the land" tending
to good natural drainage, has been
largely utilized in the very successful
system of sewerage which purifies the
town. The great hotels are especial
IN constructed with reference to this
necessary sanitary precautiOn, and no
expense is spared t. make the ventila-
ton, sewerage, and water supply per-
feet.
Improvements are being constantly
made in This direction, upon the prin-
ciple that Fan ounce of prevention is
worth Il pound of cure;' the latest
work done being the entire renovation
Of the StocktOn Hotel, by the intro
ductiOn of over 5000 feet of new iron
pipe devoted solely to the drainage and
ventilation OF the great hotel
The new system has been put in
place upon the most approved plans of
science, under the supervision of such
skilled engineers as Colonel Waring
aud General phayer and the work
done by the equally skilled mechanics,
Messrs. Benezet IL Co., Cape May.
Four large mains, running from the
eighteen inch sewer far above the roof
of the house, convey away all gases
and vHpOrs, while an endless network
of pipes carry to the sewer the refuse
OF the kitchen, closets, and sinks.
To prevent the injection observer gas |
so fatal to a household, not a cOnnec-
tion of the pipe is made without the
the safeguard ola trap aud in most
casJs a double trap" makes assurance
double sure
So carefully has this idea prevailed, !
that separate pipes have even been |
provided for the dish pantry and the |
process of scTubbing. Every wash |
basin has been fitted up with BrOwer's |
glass trap" and the closets furnished |
ventives to vile Odors aud noxious
gases.
The usual basin in slop-sinks is met
al with porcelain lining. In place OF
these which keep wholesome but a
short time, solid porcelain basins are
used. which can never cOrrode.
Surrounding the entire structure is
aid continuous drain-pipe TO receive
.he clean rain water from the roof,
which is carried directly to and serves
o flush the main sewer
The soil beneath the kitchen closets,
aundry, and wOik-rOoms of the hotel
las been dredged aud replaced by
bout two feet of dry fresh sand, aud
,ver this the air plays freely, having
10 sense Of dampness, much less of
