How is it that lazy men manage
Ito make a mark in the world? The
poet Thompson wrote some of his
] best verses in bed. The Philosopher
jAlcott of Concord, in this State, was,
i am told by an ex-Concordian, a
\ very indolent man when in bis
3prime. They used to say in Con-
3cord that the Platonic philosopher
would gently acquiesce in the doing
sof ali the hard household work by
3his daughters, who have since come
! to fame. But his mind was far, far
7away with the philosopher OF India
Tor Germany. Thoreau, am con-
WINGED, was Just lazy. He liked to
loaf and invite his soul seven days
lin the week. The same ex-Concor-
3dian tells me that if it had not been
for the surreptitions conveyance OF
Baskets of provender to the hut of
;the hermit on the shores of Lake
weldon, Thoreau would have star

icold corned beef on the quiet. Ex-
lGovernor Kent of Maine, now dead, /,
was an easy-going man. When a
student of Harvard he was president
sof the ''lazy CLUB" and one day was
actually seen running across the
college campus. After a suitable
delay, for the lazy club could not
hurry anything, he was tried, and
ibis plea which had to be accepted,
was that he had been pushed by
some one and was too lazy to stop
himself. Another slow goer was the
;late Hon. Ensign Kel!og of Pitts
field. He was brilliant man, of
great strength of mind, and held
Some offices, the latest being that of
under the treaty of
Washington. He could have been
been Governor and almost anything
telse, but he would rather put on a
| aslouch hat and 90 fishing than
exert himself overland. Another
public man in this State who has
ibeen nearer the Governor ship than
| be ever will be again is SO lazy that
/ bis friends can not poke him up to
sany work, and he vegetables in a
small town, smoking and reading
papers and extraordinary talents

And, after all, a lazy man is to be

Rejoicings Down south.

LEXINGTON, KY.-Mr. John T,
Bruce, of the United States Revenue
collectors Office, informed an edi-
tor of the Daily Press, of this city,
that for seven years he suffered ter
ribly from rheumatism in his ankle,
which most of the time was swollen
TO two or three times its natural
size, and was so painful that he could
not put his foot to the ground. Af-
ter trying everything he could think
of without obtaing relief, he at ten
o'clock one morning applied st. ia
cobs Oil, and shortly afterwards
made two further applications. AT
three O'Clock that afternoon the pain
was gone; the swelling also disap-
peared, and the cure was as perma-
nent as it was quick.

younger brother.
"Of course you did," responded
lDan.

This was Mr.. Hartley's first visit
with his nephew's, and thus far he
had been pleased with their bright,
Intelligent faces and kind behavior.
RStill there was something in his ap-
peal to his brother that impressed
him unfavorably, he could hardly
tell why but the cloud of disfavor
had vanished from his mind when,
4 two hours later, he turned his horse
|homeward. Just in the bend of the
road he met his nephew Jimmy,
bearing a gun over his shoulder.

sion to carry that gun?" he inquir-
led.

he Dan ?"
"Of course he did" sai0 Dan.
"And OF course / believe you, jim
my, without your brothers word for

bright eyes fell before his unele's

J lewis confusion, and rode on without
