SHEPHERDSTOWN, W. VA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER %, 1885.
Poor, Tired Mother.

They were talking Of the glory Of the land be-
yond the skies,
OF the light and Of the gladness to be found
in Paradise,
OF the flowers ever blooming, Of the never
ceasing songs,
OF the wand ring through the golden streets
ofhappy white-robed throngs.
And said father, leaning costly back in his
easy chair
Father was always a master hand for COM
fort everywhere),
"What joyful thing twould be to know that
when this life is DER,
One would straightway hear welcome from
the blessed shining shore!'
And Isabel, our eldest girl, glanced upward
from the reed
She was painting on water jug, and muir
INJURED, "Yes, indeed"
And Marian, the next in age, moment
dropped her book,
And, "Yes, indeedw repeated, with most
ecstatic look.
But mother, gray-haired mother, who had
come to sweep the room,
With patient smile on her thin face, leaned
lightly on the broom
Poor mother! no one ever thought how much
she had to do
And said, 81 hope 1t is not wrong not to agree
with you.
But 1t seems TO me that when die, before l
join the blest,
I'd like for just little while to lie In my
grave and rest

Winter Fashions from Cooley

Beads are in great favor.
With dresses of wooden, bonnets and
hats en- suite are worn.
Wool ribbons, that look like bands Of
Astrakan fur, are decided novelty.
Plomb, the new lead color, is highly
popular, but not generally becoming.
A novelty in hat trimmings is velvet,
ornamented with nails made OF jet hav-
ing the points turned upward.
Green combines well with brown,
garnet or pink, and such combinations
are now in good style.
Pearl embroidery trims many OF the
newest white satin evening dresses; the
embroidery is usually accompanied by
lace of fine quality embroidered to
match.
Blush moonlight and blue steel beads,
mixed with a smaller quantity OF bronze
or grenat beads, form some Of the most
beautiful trimmings that can be OBJ
tained.
High loops Of ribbon are arranged In
front Of bonnets, and are intermixed
with slender wings or quills, powdered
with beads or diamond dust.
A novelty is set consisting Of hat
or cap and muff with boa attached.
One Of black velvet is trimmed with
astrakan and rosettes and loop bows OF
ribbon, with Innings Of bright primrose
satin.
listers and English long coats are
made Of different autumn fabrics, and
are richly garnitured with silk cord sp-
pliques made so fine and delicate as 70
greatly resemble embroidery when set
upon the wrap.
Some of the largest and most expen-
sive fans are painted in oils and water
colors, not only in designs Of flowers
and fruits, but Of landscapes.
Tinsel is not as popular for ordinary
dress trimmings and bonnets, but IL
now largely used for evening robes,
wraps, and in the smaller articles OF a
woman's toilet. Many handsome black
fans are decorated with it.
Arrasene embroidery makes a rich
and stylish trimming for cashmere and
wool house dresses. The work is quick
ly done, and small flowers Of brilliant
coIors, mingled with leaf sprays and
moses, produce very beautiful effect
with comparatively small outlay Of
! means or labor.

NEW VOL. 21-NO. 8.


Last Monday morning, says the San
Francisco Post, as lot Of up-towners
were waiting on the wharf for the China
steamer to get in, old Professor Guffey
drove up in the office buggy and solemn
ly lifted out an apparently heavily
weighted bag, securely tied at tho
mouth.
"what have you got there, Profess
sor," asked a friend.
"a cat-fend," replied the professor,
gravely.
a catfish: 2" repeated the crowd.
"No, gentlemen; l said cat-fend,"
explained Guffey. THAT sack contains
four cobblestones and cat that has
made my life burden for three years.
She steals everything In the house all
day and yells like pirate walking the
gang.plank on the back shed all night.
I've made one attempt after another to
assassinate the beast, but failed every
time"
"You know that cats have nine lives,
Professor"
"Ninc! Nineteen times have given
that creature poisoned meat. threw
her of the roof twice, aud I've shot nc
her four times-just filed her plumb
full of quail shot, and the next day she's
round on schedule time, drinking the
milk so soon as it's left by the milkman.
Last week borrowed 800 bull-terrlcr
to cat her up, and she killed him In
eleven seconds. Why, blew her into
the next street with dynamite cart
ridge yesterday, and hope to die II she
wasn't on deck reaching for the canary
this morning without hair singed."
"Going to fix her this time, ehp"
"You bet am" said Professor Cuff
fey, emphatically. "I'm going TO throw
her OFT into forty feet of water, and II
that don't finish her she's the devil
himself"
Come, take n drink first. Gufiey,"
said his friend Boggs, and tho crowd
| followed into saloon the corner.
While the beer was being drawn Boggs
slipped quietly back and united the bag.
As soon as the indesiructible cat had
skipped up the street Boggs retied the
bag and hurried back to the saloon.
Pretty soon the crowd emerged aud
helped GuiIey TO carry his heavy load
to the extreme edge Of the wharf, from
which IL was solemnly dumped.
81 hate to Kill even cat" said the
old professor sadly. "but the fact Is
haven't had square nights sleep In
two years"
Yesterday Boggs was coming of the
ferry-boat when he behelj the professor
coming on atop Of four.horsc load OF
furniture.
"Why, you are not moving, arc you
Gufley?"
The professor moo1ily descended from
lis perch and drawing Boggs aside
whispered huskily In his ear:
Eyes, am, Bogge-I'm moving over
to Alameda. That-cat's come back"

getting the truth out Of witnesses. The
following is a sample Of his system Of

"Will you please tell the court and
jury how long you have been bachelor
and what were the circumstances that
induced you to become one?"

WE congratulate the Euening Journal
upon the awakened business conscience
that has led to the withdrawal from its col
umns of the "Notice to Advertisers" in
which it asserted that its circulation was
three times that of all other papers in
the county combined. This may have been
true, and probably was true, before the
TATTLEB came into existence but the
appearance of the SUNDAY TATTLER and its
leap into a legitimate, bona fide circulation
approximating very closely to that of the
Journal changed the whole situation. We
called the attention of the Journals bust
ness manager, whom we do not believe to
be equal to the dishonesty of soliciting the
favors of the advertising public with false
pretences, to the falsity of the announce
ment; and presently the s.Notice to Adver-
tisers'' slid from the top of the first column
of the first page to an inconspicuous corner
of the third page and as, when we noticed
the change of position we thought it even
tually would, it has since slid into the
melting-pot, and has not been allowed to
appear in the columns of the paper for a
week. 1t was doubtless due to an oversight
en- the part of Manager Dear that it was
allowed to remain there so long after it had
ceased to be true as it did. Its final dis
appearance is the Journals concession to
the growing circulation of the only other
local paper of account in the city-the
SUNDAY TATTLER.

The entrance of the fair sex into Ameri-
can politics would no doubt have an
elevating influence upon political methods
1t is to be feared, however, that the fair
politicians would not be as successful as
Randolph Churchilps American wife, who
influenced more votes in Woodstock in
favor of her husbands candidacy, than
did the canyassing committee of his party.
Then there was Lady Curzow, who, after
a successful canvass in behalf of her hus-
band last week, was put to the unpleasant
extrmity of climbing over a stone wall
into an adjoining yard to escape personal
violence at the hands of her husbands
defeated opponents, and alasl her lady
ship lost her "back hair" in accomplish
ing her flight. We commend those diverse
experiences to the coming political ora

New Years is at hand once more and
the annual humbug of calling on people
you haven't honored with visit since
January 1, 1885, will again be enacted. AS
free blow" New Years is success,
and SO far as friends making calls on each
other to pay the compliments of the sea-
son the custom is worthy and respectable.
But when gang of a dozen weIl-dressed
nomads descend upon your house for the
sake of drink, which is about all they
come for, it is too much. The ladies are,
however, quite as much to blame as the
callers. They have friendly strife among
themselves as to who shall be able to
exhibit the largest list of callers and SO
they encourage on one day of the year a
nuisance they shut the door against the
other three hundred and sixty-four days
And as they are willing to put up with it
the one day perhaps no one else should
object. In that spirit we wish our readers
plenty of calls and Happy New year.
