THE OLD FASHIONED HOUSE.

OF all the tender and comfortable things
That now and then sweet memory brings,
There's nothins dearer that love recalls
Than the old-fashioned house with its
white-washed walls.
Not mansion to-day, though marvel Of
art,
Can ever usurp its place in my heart,
For there my earliest prayers were said.
And / slept at night in trundle bed.
Meath coverlids reaching from foot to chin,
BY mothers hand tucked gently in,
And good night kiss on my tired brow
Oh, earth holds no such blessing now!
The garden was fragrant in flower beds
Where marigolds lifted their velvet heads,
And warmed by sunshine, refreshed by
The bachelor-button and touch-me-not
grew.
In the river that curved like shepherds
crook.
We fshed for minnows with bent-pin hook,
Or with little bare feet OFT waded through,
And bravely padded our own canoe.
Twas a home OF welcome no one could
doubt,
Whose latch-string hung inyitingly OUT,
And many stranger supped at its board
While blazing logs in the chimney roared.
oh. this is an age of reform and changer
And things aesthetic, modern, and strange,
improvements that SAVIOR OF silver ana
gold
Are superseding the cherished and old
But turn from palaces built for show,
With mansard roots and stories below
Of frescoed, kolsomined, dadoed halls,
To the old-fashioned house with its white
washed walled.

woods all winter alone.
Charles w. Caller of Waldoboro,

Chicago Ledger.


The representative to the legisla-
ture from Calabash county struck his
favorite attitude, glared upon the
house, and, in low, deep tones Of
much elaboration, said, with great
improssiyeness:
:sFor what did my constituents
send me here
And then he glared again, brought
down his brows, and repeated in a
voice OF thunder, ashe locked straight
at the member from Blossom county:
'sFor what did my constituents
send me here?'
Taking this as direct appeal to
him for important information, the
little man in the baggy pantaloons
jumped to his feet, and with his right
hand pointing to the zenith, said, in
tones Of taking earnestness:
Heaven only knows, sir!'

Time to Quit.
HOW A DISSIpATED YOUNG MAN WAS
CURED or HIS INTEMpERANcE
Boston Herald.


Boston Herald.
A young man residing at the High
lands, having succeeded in saving
quite sum Of money, resolved one
evening last week to go in quest of
amusement. He found it, and reach
ed home in the early hours of the
morning in an inebriated condition.
After he had been in bed short
time he was rudely awakened from
his slumbers, only to discern by his
bedside the stern visage Of his father.
"Where is the child you have Sc
GREETED in this room ~
By this time, thoroughly aroused,
partly by establishment caused by
the question, he faltered: "What
child 7"
"There is no use denying it, re-
piled the old gentleman, II distinct
ly heard the voice Of small child
coming from this room"
At that instant the voice of ba-
by, coming directly from the young
mans side, was heard. Horror
struck, he quickly turned down the
bed-clothes, when the form ola child
about six months old was brought to
light. The old gentleman, after in
quiring about his sons whereabouts
the previous evening, sent the infant
to it's home on Clarendon street.
The young man, it may be said, was
unmarried, and was ignorant as to
the manner in which he obtained the
child, but had faint recollection of
placing something in bed upon his
arrival home. He has left off drink
ing, having signed the pledge. He
says it is bad enough to see snakes
when he gets drunk, but when he
gets sober and finds himself in pos
session of a baby, then it is time to
leave off drinking.

THE DUTIES OF THE GESTiHR SAA-~s
HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task Is assigned to NO.
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. It is
not her province 10 make laws, TO lead
armies, nor to be at the head OF great ca
terpriscs, but to her is given the powerto
form those by whom the laws are made.
to teach the leaders Of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest faint of bodily inirmisy touch
We frail creature whose moral, intellect
Il and physical being Is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be q
part Of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege Of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages Of his existence. She
smiles sercnely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bercaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed Of strong and healthy
body1 The preparation Of DIR. s. b.
Hartman, and known as PERuNA, is just
the thing for persons suffering from ma
jority Of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t Is Invaluable to women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, Of New Lisbot,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ey
ample of what the medicine can do. Shs
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried o. number of physicians, but
they all failed 10 cure her. She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERuNA. MIR. I.
w. Reynolds, her husband, was con-
frmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. Housed PERuNA,
and as result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Berlhnrdt Scubs, St. Clair, St.
Clair county, Mich, says: g / have thor
oughly tried your PERuNA in the various
diseases to which parents and alarge fam
lily of children are ever liable, and find
it nevery case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it"
Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, says: " Gentlemen: Your
valuable PERuNA is the best medicine
ever used"

Some Curious statistics.

A noted statistician, Edward At
kinson, insists that there is an abun-
dance of room yet in this world. The
1,400, 1000, 900 persons supposed to be
on the globe could all find easy stand
ing room within the limits Of field
ten miles square, and by the aid Of a
telephone could be addressed at one
time by single speaker. In field
twenty miles square they could all be
comfortably seated. Then take the
land Of the globe suitable for grow
ing wheat: not moro than one-twen-
tieth is under cultivation. The aver
age crop Of wheat in the United
States and Canada alone would give
one person in every twenty of the
population Of the globe barrel Of
flour in each year, with enough on a
small part Of the territory of the Uni
ted States to feed the whole world.
II, therefore, there is hunger any
where, it is not the fault of God on
nature, but because Of the incompe-
tency or want of management on the
part of those who direct the affairs OF
mankind. From Demorest's Month
III for September.

Extract from Emile Zola's last nov
ell: "Rain was falling in Paris A
man walked the street. He was hun
CRY. He was as hungry as a wolf.
He wanted something to eat. He
wanted it bad Rain was falling.
The river roared 1t reared loud.
The man leaned over the bridge. He
was hungry. The rain ceased. The
man left the bridge. He could not
take it with him. He could not have
disposed of it. The pawnshops were
closed. The man stopped in front Of
restaurant. Through the lace cur
tains he saw people eating. 1t seems
that they had come there to eat. The
man was hungry. The rain had
ceased. The bridge still remained in
its place The curtain was partly
drawn aside. He saw soldier eat
ing canned eel. He wanted some.
Poor fool. His mouth watered. That
was all it could do. How he wished
it could bread as we'll as water. But
it couldn't. People met him. His
pinched face gave them the impress
sion that he was drunk. He was hun
cry He could find no work. He
was too honest to beg and not proud
enough to steal. He was in bad
fix. The rain had ceased. Theriver
roared. The man was hungry. His
mouth watered. The soldier contin-
ued to eat picked eel Poor fool.
