he didn't care for that. He would do it
himself If it only needed one thing, he
would never rest until he had it, what

that if he had friend-one that he

of weight in the back, loins and lower part
Of the abdomen, causing the patient to sup
pose he has seine affection of the kidneys OF
neighboring organs. At times symptoms
of Indigestion are present, as tiatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture,

A SMART SCHEME.

Two darkies had to carry desk to
the house of Dr. Blister, who had
bought it at a furnature store. When
they arrived with the desk he was in
and directed them where to put it.
The darkles expected to get quar-
ter a piece at least for their extra
trouble, but alas the doctor did not
give them anything at all. He for
got all about their sufferings in car
rylng the heavy desk up two fight of
stairs.
They consulted together for mo-
ment in the hall, and then they began
to fight and pound each other, call
ing each other all manner Of vile
names. No such uproar had been
heard since the adjournment Of the
Legislature.
Dir. Blister hearing the noise, came
up and wanted to know what.was the
cause Of the disturbance.

Sam.

"You are both wrong, boys, said

you anything, but I'll make it all

A FINE JOKE.

Rev. Sam Jones said some of us
had been serving the devil the year
round, and our wives had to board
us. A man with no money and no
religion has sold out to the devil
and hell for nothing. Suppose you
dance eight sets a night for fifty
nights, and you then die and wake
up in he'll, and you look around and
say: I'm in hell forever, but | dane
ed four hundred times" That's "A
big joke amt it? Suppose you had
a hundred barrels of good rye whisky
and the Lord would let you live long
enough to drink every drop of it,
and then you would lie down and die,
and wake up in hell and say: 81 am
here forever, but | drank a hundred
barrels of whisky" That's a fine
Joke ain'tit? And it is the sort of a
joke the devil can play on nobody
but fool. Mind that you don't sell
out too cheap.

Probably the oldest man in the

miles west of Keytesville, Missouri.

and was born in Prince Edwards
county, Virginia, about 1865. His
first owner was James Ewing, grand
father of John J. and S. ?. Ewing.
who live in and near that place. He
has been in the Ewing family since
his birth, and calls himself Martin
Ewing. Inasmuch as the longevity
of many of these colored people is of
a doubtful character, your correspon-
dent will mention some facts to cor
roborate the statement just made:
Col. James Ewing, whom all of the
old citizens of Fayetteville knew, and
whose family record is extant, died
in 1859 at the age of "a. He often
mentioned to his family, that this
man, Martin Ewing, was his dry
nurse, and that he was good many
years older than himself. Martin
claims that Col. Ewing was brought
to his masters house very small
boy, and his (Martin's) business was
to nurse him. Martin says he was
old enough to pillow corn at that time.
Now, allowing the Colonel to have
been two years old when he came to
James Ewing's. Martins master, and
Martin to have been Il, which he
undoubtedly was, it makes this old
colored man 100 years old, as Col.
Ewing would 10 if now living.
This mans memory is good and his
mind clear. But few wrinkles fur
row his check. If he would dye his
hair his general appearance would
indicate man about 50. He has
lost but few teeth his cyesight is
good except cataract in one eye
from blow forty-fve years ago. His
appetite and digestion are as good as
they were eighty years ago. He has
smoked and chewed tobacco for 40
years, and he has not been drunk
for thirty-fye years. lie has had six
wives. Martin thinks religion don't
do people good like hundred years
ago, but gives it most Of his time
now.

MY FEAR.

| have six children, and three are dead
And three are out in the mad worlds din
Selling music and brain for daily bread
In deadly odds with want and sin.
Life grudges to each the little asked
SO scantily dealing each pitiful dole
Till 1t seems to be sometimes as if the price
Of living were paid with blood or soul.
For the other three, raise no plant
Sheltered close in fold so warm and
deep
That the ceaseless moan of the worlds un-
rest
Touches not the calm of their tender
sleep.
And nightly my tired heart has turned
To these six of mine, and nightly said
al of my fear is for those who live,
And none of my fear for the sheltered
dead! J. NJ. KENNEDY.
