OLD JONES PHILOSOPHY.

monds, but lots OF people don I
seem to be able to afford both.
A man that needs forty cents
worth Of whiskey to give him an
appetite for q fifteen cent dinner
always has the dyspepsia.
I never feel comfortable when
there's a man around that smiles
all the time. The only dog that
bit me never stopped waggin' his
tail.
Wen | see q fellow sitting two
quarts Of ashes and smokin' a ten
cent cigar at wan time, know he'll
get sick because he's so exon
omical
You show me a man that's allus
worlin' in politics an III show you
one that gets q darned sight more
and better to eat than his wife
and children do.
l don't often ask riddles, but woL
do you think family is likely to
have for dinner Wen the old man
earns eight dollars a week, spends
four for beer, two for cigars and
buys a rattle ticket?
There's a great deal of talk about
folks killing themselves by over
work. There's many people struck
by lightning. Most such critters
work eight hours days an dance
drink or play poker ten more.
Then, wen they break down, their
wives put on the tombstone "Died
of Ororwork.'
You can't rely on signs. Lots
of folks say that man with big
ears is generous and stupid. Wen
l was a boy | went to clrkls, an
they had a little mule no bigger
than a ten weeks caff. They ask
ed for boys to ride the critter, an
l eez, Hes only a mule, an he's
got big ears. He must be stupid
an he wont play me no tricks .
Wen they took me home my father
licked me for being fool, and said
he'd like to give the mule a medal.
Wen l was boy we had a big
yaller dog that hadn't as much sense
as a sheep OF as much pluck as a
chipmunk. That dog wouldn't
have fought a canary bird; we knew
it and be knew it, but he kept up an
awful sight of bluster an blow just
The same as if we didn't all know
what he was worth. Every day a
big black cur, as cowardly as ourn
used to go by with a butcher cart,
an them two dogs would run up an,
down on different sides of the fence.
barkin' fit to kill an just as if
they'd tear each other up ifit wasn't
for the fence. One day the two got
af,er each other an it happened that
some one had left the gate open
so all of sudden they came oppo
site each other with nothing be
tween. Well, sir, them two dogs
just stopped and looked at each
other for minnit, then they put
their tails between their legs and
cut sticks in different directions, as
if the old Nick was after 'em
There's piles O men that's a heap
more anxious for a fight wen

wen they're on clear ground.

Advice to Boys.

Boys, be respectful to the old folks
Don't call your parents the old man or the
old woman. A group of youths was stand
ing on the street when one of them ex-
claimed: ''Oh the old woman makes such
fuss if spend a cent for any kind of fun,''
and turned to look at the speaker, a good
looking boy, plainly but neatly dressed, his
general appearance showing the care of
loving mother. And 1 thought of ''the old
woman" his mother, no doubt, who had
watched over him, so tenderly, lovingly,
during his helpless infancy, worked for,
and practiced all the selfdenial only moth
er can or will for her child, and then when
he is old enough to be q comfort and sup
port to her, treats her disrespe ctfully, and
thinks she fuses if he wants to suuan-
der his money On amusements, and one cam
not help thinking the boy is not much ac-
count
Boys, be prompt. 81 have never missed
being at the store exactly at seven o'clock
since I've been with Mr.. B., and never
mean to be late, if l can possibly help it,"
'Don't catch me getting up so early" said
his companion. II was scolded this morn.

man who was always at his post in time,
and intended to be, is the sort of boy q
business man wants
Boys, don't be ashamed of your mother,
if she does not dress as finely and stylishly
as some other boys mother A young man
from the country came to the city to clerk
for large dry goods establishment; he be-
came accustomed to seeing elegantly attired
ladies, and when his mother came to the
city he requested her, if she visited the
store, not to make her, elf known as his
mother. He was ashamed of his dear old
mother because her dress was homespun,
and the old hands that had toiletl so many
years for him were not encased in gloves
Boys, be honest; remember the taking of
a single penny is the beginning of dishon-
esty. A young man who was caught in tho
act of stealing from his employer confessed
that bis first theft was one penny, which be
had astracted from savings bank which
an elder brother kept ON the mantle-piece
in his fathers house when child, and he
said he trembled as he took it, and hastily
put it in his pocket, but after that he never
felt quite as badly, each time growing
bolder, until his employer laid trap for
him, and caught him.

Actual cost to consumer,
From the Culpeper Expon snt.
Temperance Literature.

The subject of lntemperance has been so
often discussed through the press and be-
fore public assemblies that some may con-
slider it trlte and worn out. Yet propose
very briefly to notice its evils, in some of
their phases. We have so grown up with,
and have become so accustomed to this evil,
that we have no adequate sense of its
magnitude. 1st. The costs Of the liquor
traffic are simply appalling. Conceive if
you can what it costs to build our school
houses, to pay our teachers, to endow our
colleges to support our poor, to build our
churches, to pay our ministers, to support
home and foreign missions. Compute what
it costs to sustain our national and state
governments, including the pay of the hun
dreds of thousands of officials and attaches.
Combine all this in one vast sum for one
year, and yet the morey paid for liquor for
the same time will exceed it, But is this
wanton waste of money all? Does the evil
end here? Would to God that it did
How many deaths within the short space
Of six months, in the vicinity of Culpeper,
are to be traced directly to intempersaos as
the cause? It is sasy to count. And how
the Mumber increases as you go to our large
cities, and as your eyes embrace the whole
c untry. What at first was small rivulet
becomes mighty stream of death sweep
ing on with its dark and turbid waters to
destruction. If war has slain its thousands,
intemperance has lain its tens of thousands,
for its ravageS never cease. Is this all p
Alas, mol Have you ever heard that wall
of poverty, sorrow, and woe, that comes
from the strains of suffering womanhood
and more than orphaned children; that
comes from the hundred thousand Of homes
where the most cherished hopes have been
blighted by the father. the son, the brother
being ruinod, body and soul by strong drink?
Have you heard that wall? You can hear
it if you will.
No tongue can tell, no pen can write, no
human imagination can conceive of the woe
that wall implies. Is there anything to
Offset this picture of waste. of woe and
death Does strong drink add to our ma
terial good? Does it make our young men
more healthy, more vigorous and enduring?
Does it render them more noble and manly?
Does it add to the length Of human life P
Does it beautify and ennoble womanhOod? ?
Does it increase the refinement of society
and of our homes? Does it promote in any
sense high christian culture and civilza-
ton, and better fit men and women for the
duties of the present lire and for blessed
immortality? Readers, please to candidly
answer these questions. Is it any wonder
in view of the enOrmity Of this evil that
thoughtful men and women and the chris
tian public are earnestly and prayerfully in
quiring what Can be done to check and de-
stroy this fearful curse. If life is spared |
propose to follow this with an article upon
the duty of church members in relations to
this matter.

When Summer days are soft and fair.
And bird-songs fill the cottage trees.

And happiness in every look;

And all the landscape dead and bare.
How well she keeps her little fold,
How shines the fire beside her chairt
Ihe children go with pride to school,
The fathers toll half turns to play,
So faithful is her frugal rule,
So tenderly she moids the day.

Let others sing of rank and birth.

said his wife, and they sat down to eat.
But spell seemed to have fallen upon
them, and when tile dinner was over and
cleared away, and they were in the sitting
room with their books, there was sens'
of dreary loss, and Mrs. Skinner sat with
the Bible open on her lap, and wondered
why he had gone out and remembered thai
he had looked queer.
It was in consonance with her habits Of
living that she got up in the middle OF these
speculations to catch wandering and be-
lated fly and induce him to be annihilated.
"Stranger' she said, as grew dark
"I'll take the children and go down to his
mothers and see if he is there, and if he is,
I'll Just give him piece of my mind.
But he was not there, aid his mother
said Lot looked badly the last time she saw
him, and she thought he seemed worried;
and hoped it wasn't t business troubles.
No, it wasn't business troubles; Ms.
Skinner knew that, and she began to won
der if she had cleaned her husband out oi
his mind. 1t came over her with sudden
force that she had been in the habit ofdriy
ing him from pillow to post at railroad speed
and at the end of a broom or dust brush
He actually found no rest for the sole of his
foot in his own house Itmight have work
ed upon his nervous system until he had
hecOme suddenly insane. Horrible thought.
He might have committed suicide.
She hurried home with the children. All
was gloom. She went to his bureau tolook
for his razor 1t Was the only fire arms he
possessed-it wss gone!
Then Mrs Skinner b,oke down and cried,
nd tbo al, III raN orjad and IL was iuNnaH a
scene of desolation, when suddenly the
door of that horrible parlor opened, and an
appar;tiol-nc it was Mr.. Skinner himself
stood before them looking very sheep

81 oversight myself" he said in a meek,
apologize tone, looking at the clock.
Il should say yoa did, answered his
wife, land the dinner is all eaten up, bu
III fix you up something nice, and she
went out taking the children with her.
How much of it Mr.. Skinner ever knew
it is impossible to say, but there was an
immediate ana satisfactory change that a.
first amazed and then delighted him. He
could lie down anywhere. when he was tired
and his wife would throw a shawl over him
and leave him in peace. He has even been
seen to lie down on the sofa in the parloi
where he took his Rip Van Winllle sleep
and nobody disturbed him. MIS-. Skinner
was at heart a woman of sense, and when
she realized that one hair of that grizzly
gray head was worth more than all the pil
low shams in The world to her, she put the
last one away in the company of a dement,
ed assortment of superhuous tides. And
they are really and truly and not in any
geological sense, 'happy family now.
