Too Big for Him.
Rock Falls News.

On Friday of last week q boy
named Forbes, living in Rock Falls,
was fishing from the dam and hook
ed a catfish. He was unable to pull
it in, and after struggling awhile the
fish turned and started down stream.
The boy went over the dam head
first, holding on to the pole, and
started for the Mississippi river, the
catfish in the lead. AS they went
past the paper mill some of the
workmen saw the boy In the water
and went to his rescue in boat.
They overlook him and tok him into
the boat. He was still holding the
pole, and hooked to the line was the
catfish, which they captured. The
boy weighed eighty-fve pounds and
the catfish thirty-five pounds nine
ounces. Thus it is demonstrated
that a catfish can get away with
more than twice his weight OF boy.

The Art Of Early Rising.

The proper time to rise, says the
Lancet, is when sleep ends. Doing
should not be allowed. True sleep
is the aggregate of sleeps, or Is a
state consisting in the sleeping or
rest Of all the several parts OF the
organism. Sometimes one and at
other times another part OF the body
as whole, may be the least fatigued,
and therefore the most difficult to
arouse. The secret Of good sleep is,
the physiological conditions OF rest
being established, so to worry and
weary the several parts of the organ
ism as to give them an proportion
ally equal need of rest at the same
moment; and to wake early and feel
ready to rise, fair and equal start
of the sleeper should be secured; and
the wise self-manager should not al
low a drowsy feeling Of the conscious
ness or weary senses, or an exhaust
ed muscular system, to beguile him
into the folly of going to sleep again
when once he has been aroused.
After a very few days of self'disci-
pine, the man who resolves not to
doze, that is, not to allow some
sleepy part of his body to keep him
in bed after his brain has once awak-
ened, will find himself, without
showing why, an early riser.

Poison I'm Postal Notes.
New York Truth.

1t has been discovered that
numerous cases of arsenical pois-
oning are due to the persons af-
f1icted having handled the new
postal notes. The coloring mat
ter of these notes is impregnated
with arsenic, and persons in the
habit Of wetting their fingers on
their lips to count them have be-
come afflicted with sores on the
mouth. The clerk in the money
order department who issues the
notes used wet sponge, but got
sores in his fingers, and now
wears rubber tips on his digits
when counting the notes, which
might well be called filthy lucre.
Many complaints have been receiv-
ed in the department from affiict-
ed persons, but nothing but advice
could be obtained in satisfaction.
One gentleman, a well-known pub
Usher, was so badly afflicted that
his body became horribly swollen
and his life was despaired of.

A Cure for LOck.jaw.

A correspondent of the Scientific
American says: LET any one who
has an attack Of lockjaw takea small
quantity of turpentine, warm 1t and
pour on the wound, no matter where
the wound is, and relief will follow
In less than a minute. Nothing bet
ter can be applied to severe cut or
bruise than cold turpentine; it will
give certain relief almost instantly.
Turpentine is almost sovereign
remedy for Group. Saturate piece
of flannel on the throat and chest
and in very severe cases three or
four drops on a lump of sugar may
be taken inwardly. Every family
should have bottle on hand. >"

He grumbled at this; he grumbled at

He growled at the dog; he growled at

He grumbled at morning; he grumbled

And ii there was not cloud about,

Or else he hadn't had half enough.
No matter how hard his wife might try
To please her husband; with scornful
He'd look around, and then with a

At something or other, he'd commence

1t Never Pays.

1t never pays to fret or growl
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the drawer blow
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom:
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
Itnever pays to foster pride,
And squander wealth in show;
For friends thus won are to run
In time of want or woe.
The noble worth
OF all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain
A conscience clear,
A household dear,
And hands without a stain.
1t never pays to hate foe
Or cater to a friend,
To fawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe,
For friends and debts
And pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain;
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
A humble lot,
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high
That wealth will buy,
Na1rhf If cOutnptmapf hrinpG
1t never pays ! A blunt refrain,
Well worthy OF Song;
For age and youth must learn this
truth
That nothing pays that's wrong;
The good and pure
Alone are sure
TO bring prolonged success
While what is right
In heavens sight
Is always sure to bless

GETTYSBURG.
THE NATIONS SHRINE!

Visitors to Gettysburg should
remember that the field of battle
extends over at least twenty-five
square miles, and while scenes Of
thrilling interest TRANSFERRED all over
this space, few points only where
general view of the whole can be
had, are possible to those whose
time is limited. These points are:
1. Round Top. Round Top is
almost three miles south of Gettys-
burg The picnic ground is on
the eastern slope of the hill and
but four hundred feet from it's
summit. From this summit the
best view of the battlefield, from
the Federal Cemetery on Cemete-
ry Hill to a little below Big Round
Top, is had. This whole country,
all about, is full of interest. Al
most every foot has been hallowed
by patriot blood. Early in the &C
ton it was seen that this hill was
the key to the whole position, and
for it's possession great efforts
were made by both contending ar
mics. The Union forces took pos
session, and carried by main force
twelve 80 FOUNDER Parrott guns
to it's summit, and planted upon
that commanding position and
amidst and upon those rocks, they
had the range of nearly the whole
field. When these guns were fix
ed upon that hill it became a sec
ond Gibraltar, and secured final
victory for the Union army.
Upon this hill Generals Tim-
cent and Weed, Col. O'Roatke and
Lieut.. Hazlitt were killed. Mon
uments mark the places where
some of them fell.
From this summit the scene of
the most terrific fighting can be
seen. Within a space, scarcely a
mile square, and directly in front,
amidst those huge boulders, fields
and woods,fifty thousand men, like
two mighty wrestlers, were strug
CLING for the mastery. Men fell
by hundreds and thousands. The
noise and confusion were fearful.
Ayers division of regulars, who
had been lying behind this hill,
were called into action, and NOV
ing up over the picnic ground on
the double quick, passed down the
rocky side into the yawning chasm
An officer who participated in this
charge, afterwards said '1t was
like going down into hell" The
advance of the rebels came up the
ravine between Little and Big
Round Top and gained the east

Arriving at

2. Gettysburg. proceed to Gem
etery Hill, south of the town. Up
on East Cemetery Hill, where the
Observatory stands, and where
the breastworks and artillery yet
remain, a magnificent view can be
had. Upon this hill and all around
these gums, desperate hand to
hand encounter took place on the
evening of the second day of the
battle. Muskets were dubbed
and even stones used, and the Con-
federates finally driven from the
hill which they had succeeded in
climbing. From Seminary Ridge
about q mile to the west, around
to Barlow's Knoll, where a monu-
ment may be seen about two miles
distant, directly north, the line of
battle of the first day extended.
Over the fields and through the
town the Confederates advanced
to their attack upon this part of
our line and upon the line further
to the right. To the right, but
short distance, is Culp's Hill, and
beyond it Spangler's Spring and
Wolff Hill, where the Federal right
terminated. Proceed to Culp's
Hill where the breast works
yet remain. A short distance
further east is Spangler's Spring,
where on the evening of the sec
ond days engagement Johnson's
Division of Ewell's Corps taking
advantage of the absence Of the
Union forces at that place, who
had been sent to assist in repel-
ling the assaults of Longstreet in
front of Round Top, effected a
temporary Judgment but were
driven out next morning with
great slaughter, after a battle of
about four hours.
Return to the National Gene
terry, where an excellent view can
be had of Seminary Ridge, about
three quarters of mile distant,
and extending dywn past Round
Top. General Lee watched the
progress of the battle from the Gu
pola of the College. Upon that
ridge the Confederate line was
formed, and all along it, and upon
the elevated places north and
notheast of the town, their artil,
lery was placed. The headquar-
ters of General Meade can be seen
from the southern side of the GEM
etery. The building, which is
modest cottage, stands by the side
of the Taneytown road.
The field of the first days en-
gagement is not SO much visited
because not so we'll marked or ac-
cessible by roads. It extends
about mile on each side of the
road, mile out of town, and up
to and through it to Cemetery
Hill. In the woods across a field
in the rear of the Seminary Gen
eral Reynolds was killed in the
first days fight.
