DYING OF THTRsT.-"Did you ever suffer
extreme hunger or thirst ?" was asked of a
Kentucky Colonel who had been relating
some solid stories about himself.
"Well," he replied, 81 never suffered
what mi ght be called extreme hunger, but
no man knows how to endure the agonies of
thirst better than do"
81 remember the time WE'LL" he contin-
ued retrospectively. II was on a fishing
excursion and became lost in the woods.
For three days not a drop passed my, lips.
Mylengthenedab absence finally caused alarm,
and party was sent out in search of me.
They found me lying in an unconscious con-
dition on the bank of little trout stream,
and it was hours before any hopes of saving
me were entertained"
"Was the trout stream dry?" asked one
Of the interested listeners.
"Dry? Certainly not. How could catch
fish if the stream was dry:"
"Well, don't see how you could suffer
from thirst with stream of water close at
hand"
"Water close at hand ~ repeated the Ken
lucky Colonel. "And what has water got
to do with mans being thirsty ?'-Philo-

A CHANGE OF TACTICS-He had taken
three terms Of the gymnasium, and could
"muscle twenty-five pound weight, turn a
handspring, knock a sand-bag blind and
box the Professor all over the room. More
than one pupil had sighed for his skill and
remarked that the man who tackled him
would be mashed into pulp in a minute.
Yesterday morning he was coming up
Howard street full Of life and vigor, when
he came across an express wagon with a
wheel off. He made some inquiries and
received curt replies. This led him to re-
mark:
"Young man, some one will cuff your ears
some day."
"But it won't be you!"
'Don't be too sure of thatn'
"Maybe you'd like to begin now" said
the young man as he quit his work and
stepped to the walk.
81 think I can cuff some manners into
you," replied the other, as he reached out
to begin.
The young fellows right arm gyrated
around for ten seconds, and then his fist
shot out and landed on the citizens nose
like kick from colt. He was going to
follow it up, but before he could spit on
his hands again the other man started off at
the rate of twelve miles an hour, and turn
ed the first corner like streak of light.
Later in the day he explained to an in
quirer:
II see now where 1 have wasted a years
time and 800 in money. / havn't got the
grit to fight. 1 shall now quit boxing and
60 into training as runner. r."-DefroH Free

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

All, here it is, the dear old place,
Unchanged through all these years;
How like some sweet, familiar face
My childhood's home appears!
The grand old trees behind the door
Still spread their branches wide;
The river wanders as of yore,
With sweetly running tide;
The distant hills look green and gay,
The flowers are blooming wild;
And everything looks glad to-day,
AS when I was child.
Regardless how the years have flown,
Half wonderingly l stand,
I catch no loud, endearing tone,
I clasp no friendly hand;
think my mothers smile to meet,
list my fathers call,
pause to hear my brothers feet
Come bounding through the hall;
But silence all around me reigns,
A chill creeps through my heart;
No trace of those I love remains,
Andstears unbidden start.
What though the sunbeams fall as fair,
What though the budding flowers
Shed their fragrance on the air
Within life's golden hours;
The loving ones that clustered here
These walls may not restore;
Voices that filled my youthful ear
Will greet my soul no more,
And yet quit the dear old place
With slow and lingering tread,
AS when we kiss clay-cold face
And leave it with the dead.

But Jesus learned at Nazareth to wait his
Fathers time. Till "his hour was cone"
he could control his longings, and wait for
the divine sanction, in obscurity so COM

A PROMINENT TAN DELINQUENT.-It
will be interesting and amusing to the pub
lie generally to learn that would-be Gov
ernor J. Hendrix McLane, of Greenback-
Kuklux notoriety, failed to pay his taxes for
last year, and necessitated the issuing of an
execution against his property. Whether
the late Honorable J. Hendrix was too inn
pecunious or too unpatriotic so to do is for
eign to the question, but all the same it
stands out bold fact in the public records of
this county that one Greenback-L Labor-Re-
form aspirant for the gubernatorial honors
of South Carolina failed to pay his little pit
tance or contribution towards sustaining
the government of the State over which he
had sworn "by the eternal God" to preside.
The taxes were paid, not willingly, not vol
unfairly, but by the iron-clad processes of
the law. Is comment necessary ?-Fairfeld
