TELEGRAPHIC TICKING.-A well-to-
young man recently married and start
ed west on his bridal tour. The happy
young couple were breakfasting at q
station eating-house, During the re-
past two smart Alecks came into the
eating,Foom and seated themselves op-
posite the contracting parties. They
were telegraph operators. By a deli
cate poising of their knives and forks
they were able to make sound in close
imitation of telegraphy. In the mystic
language of the key one said to the
other:
"Ain't she daisy, though ?"
The party thus addressed replied by
ticking off:
Wouldn't I like to kiss her, the
little fat angell"
wonder who that bloat is that she
she has married ?"
Some gorgeous fellow of granger
reckon" replied the other.
The groom stood it until forhearancG
ceased to be q virtue, when he slsc
balanced his knife and click, click, il
went in rapid succession. It was intel
ligible to the very cute twain that haC
recently made fun of its author. WheI
interpreted it read:
Dear Sirs-I am superintendent o
the telegraph line upon which yoI
work. You will please send your tim,
to headquarters and resign your posi-
tions at once. Yours,

The People Next Door.

A queer lot always are the people
next door. The economy of the house
hold is never conducted as we manage |
our own households. The people of
the next door above are too sociable. |
They overpower us with their kind
nesses; they overrun our houses at |
hours most inconVenient to ourselves ;
they smother our children with super
fuOus kisses and pile up the agonies of
collie with injudiciOus distributions of
sweetmeats. The people of the next |
door below are not sOciable enough.
They wait for us to prove ourselves
worthy of their confidence. Sometimes
they speak to us Oftener they don't.
Frequent observations through the
crack of the bowed shutters has made
the disclosure that they keep the
matches in pickle jar. And the peO-
pie of the next door above use paper
lamplighters to save the matches.
1t is only i'll our own households that
the happy average is always preserved.
In our own homes there is neither &C.
centricity nor the weak desire to do as
other people do. We do not practice
economy to the verge of stinginess, nor
do we throw money away in extraVa-
gances we treat our queer neighbOrs
neither suspiciously nor with too great
cordiality.
If the people next door do not keep
a mocking bird which, on moonlight
nights, cannot whistle itself to sleep
until daylight, they keep cats, which
fail to sing the neighborhood to sleep
at all, or wakeful dogs, which bay a

if you were an intruder upon your own
doorstep. 1t is evident that the people
next door are q product of a school en-
tirely different from our own; other
wise they would not do so frequently
the things which we would leave un-
done and leave undone the things
which to us seem so important.
But the people next door are not
stranger than than the people across
the way. The daughter of the house
opposite has long been a sufferer from
, strange mental halluciation. Per
haps her infirmity of mind should not
, be laid bare, and, after all, her habits

MIR. BEECHER ON GoD's DEGREES
In his sermon he said among other
things that the DEGREES of God are the
great natural laws of the world. Men
could not escape them with impunity.
All natural laws were the laws of God, ],
and therefore moral laws. Whoever
accepted them was dignified and enob-
led. True science was the making
known the will of God. The chief
business of men in this world was to
learn to live wisely and happily to-
gether. The man who did not know
how to live here would not know how
to live hereafter, at least not until after
a probationary period, Mr.. BeecheT
said that newspapers were divine,
though they did not always carry their
divinity stamped upon them. They
were the winged diffusers acknowledge
and if they were blotted out the world
would 60 back thousand years. All
good laws were divine, even though
they were made in Albany. All good
man-made laws were God-made laws
In the grand unfolding of the worlC
the spirit of divinity In all Legislation
and experiment was the yeast of th'
ages. The great millennial day would
come when all men would be in har
mony with God.

ADMINISTRATION OF TEETH.-"Why,"
said prominent dentist of New York
to a reporter, "a beautiful young lady
came to me and insisted ON having
really fine teeth pulled out and false
ones put in their place. l protested
that it would be foolish, silly, senseless;
but she said no, she would have them
out, and if l would not do it some
other dentist would. My teeth are
not fashionable said she; they are
too long, and short little broad teeth
like corn kernels are all the fashion
now, and no one admires my mouth,
and will have Them So made her
the teeth, and they cost her just $500,
She couldn't see any one for two weeks
after l pulled out her own. They
were the upper ones only, and made
them up with gold plates for hand

knocked out in baseball game. The
worst of it is that he is in love with
this very girl whose teeth he wears
and she knows they are hers. Just

The cordiality of the pope toward
Great Britain is illustrated afresh in his
proposals to thank her for the protec-
tion of missionaries in the Soudan. 1t
looks as if there was decided desire
to thank England for something and
this, coming so closely after the rehuke
of the Irish Catholics, will not be apt
to produce a good Impression. It is
quite evident that the pope is cultiya-
ting England.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.

The man who piles up wealth alone,
VIII often have to stand
Beside his cOffer-chest and own
'Tis built upon the sand"
'TiS good to speak in kindly guise,
And sOothe whereer we can;
Fair speech should blind the human mind,
And Love, like man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The Mercy that is warm and true,
Must lend a helping hand:
For those who talk, yet fail to do
But build upon the sand"

lief through the use of the water? That
this is no humbug, you have the first citl>
zens of the town to testify. No one could
speak in higher praise of these Springs from
personal experience than ourselves, but as
we are now interested in the sale OF the wa
ter, we take pleasure in pointing you to
others, for a testimonial in favor of the wa
ter, either here or at the spring We have
accepted the agency believing many OF our
