A Paulding county justice Of the
peace in delivering a charge to the jury,
said: Gentlemen, those of you who
arnt asleep have heard the evidence in
this case, and 1T amt worth while for
me to go over the facts. The indict-
ment says the prisoner was snatched up
for the awful crime of stealing a hog.
The time has come, gentlemen, when
hog is hog, and if this business is al
lowed to go on, none ofyou will besafe.

Building Boom in Napole &C

Building Boom IN Napole &c
While the prospect for the erection
of large number of buildings IN Ma
poleon during the spring and summer
of 1885 is not quite SO flattering as 1t
might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex-
tensive improvements made on those
which have been in the course of con-
struction. That good times are near
at hand, and better still a coming is
evidenced, not only by the prepara-
tions for extensive improvements In
and around Napoleon, but throughout
the country everywhere. Saur has
already made all the necessary ar
rangements and purchases of the dif-
ferent kinds of materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fail to attract
the attention of.all close buyers. The
outside decorations which, within the
last few years have become so very
popular and fashionable, and can only
be made with good paint, can always
be found nice and fresh in all shades
and colors, and in any quantity to suit
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store at lower prices than have ever
been known ON some quality OF goods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready to tumble down, can, with few
dollars worth Of these colored paints,
be made to look nice and good as new :.
For the inside decorations within the
last five or six years paper has largely
taken the place of paint for several
reasons; the two principle of which are,
first, that 1t is very much cheaper, and
consequently can be changed oftener;
and second, that it can be made to look
more rich and beautiful, and 1t needs
no special artist from Paris or London
to apply 1t. Great improvements are
constantly being made in these paper
decorations for Walls and Ceilings
The designs for wall paper and window
shades this coming season are great
improvement over those of the past.
The patterns are smaller and the soft
colors on exquisitely tinted grounds,
are much easier to match with furn-
ishing. Our colors so far have been
too glaring, the hues presenting too
strong a contrast White grounds
have re-appeared, showing the lighter
tiuts to perfection. All who appre-
ciate the new and beautiful, will be
pleased to look over the grand stock at
Saur's Book and News Depot, even
though they may not want to make
any purchases. In the line of all kinds
of brushes for the painter or white
washer, Saur always carries COM
plete stock, which he warrants to give
satisfaction. Making his purchases
direct from the manufacturers, he is
prepared to replace any brush that
may come to pieces before worn out
free of charge. Everybody can always
depend on finding large and COM
plete stock of everything in the line OF
Drugs, Medicines and Books, in addi,
tion to the above. No department or
part of his stock is ever neglected, but
everything is selected and purchased
with the greatest care with reference
to pleasing customers in quality as well
as price, -

buried with the general as he had re-

Wise and Unwise.

ONE popularity of the schoolboy
mind is to put things negatively. As
for example, fifth standard was ask
ed to write a short essay on pins by
way Of an excuse in composition, and
produced the following: "Pins are
very useful. They have saved the
lives of great many men, women
and children-in fact, whole fam
lilies" GLOW so?" asked the puzzled
inspector, on reading this. "Why,
by not swallowing them," was the i'm
mediate reply. On the same line was
the essay of another schoolboy, on
the subject of salt, which he described
as: ''The stuff that makes potatoes
taste bad, when you don't put any

A True Boardtno-SchooL Story.

In an Episcopal boarding-school
few years since, the scholars and
teachers were assembled for morning
prayer. The reading and singing
were over and all the scholars were
resuming their seats, when one of the
young ladies, of very short and
thick stature, missing her chair, seat
ed herself with "thud" on the floor.
Nobody smiled; all were too decorous
for that. The fallen one, embarrass-
ed into the momentary loss of COM
mon sense, retained her lowly seat,
opened her:sprayer-book and appeared
to be earnestly engaged in examining
its contents. This was to much for
her companions, and smile began to
struggle on many fair countenancs,
when the rector rose and commenced
reading the first merning lesson. He
CHANGED to read from the fifth chapter
of Amos, as follows: "The virgin of
Israel has fallen she shall no more
rise she is forsaken in her land;
there is none to raise her up"
This caused a general litter; the
voice of the rector trembled as he
looked up and saw the fallen virgin,
and the exercises were brought to q
hasty close.-Baptist Recorder.

but on my non-arrival in the only

all her property to the orphan asylum
in Seenersville, with q few bitter

her, on the spur of the moment, to
alter her original intention of leaving

There was a moment or two of
silence, and then Mr.. Chickerly added
composedly:
"You see, Fanny, how much that

Fanny Chickerly sat like one con-
demned by the utterance of her own
conscience. Not alone the one MISC
sing but the scores-nay hundreds
of trifling omissions, forgetfulnesses,
and postponements which made her
one endless endeavor to "catch up"
with the transpiring present seemed
to present themselves before her
minds eye.
She rose and came to her husbands
side, laying ono tremulous hand on
his shoulder.
"There shall be no more missing
buttons, DEAR" she said, earnestly.
And Mr.. Chickerly never again had
cause to lecture his wife.

The World Is What We Make 1t.

oh, call not this vale of tears
world of gloom and SORROW
One half the grief that o er us comes,
From self we often borrow.
This earth is beautiful and good
How long will man mistake it?
Tho folly is within ourselves;
The world is what We make 1t.
Did we but strive to make the best
OF troubles that befal us,
Instead of meeting cares half way,
They would not SO appal us.
Earth has a spell for loving hearts
Why should we seek to breakit
Let's scatter flowers instead of thorns;
The world is what we make it.
II truth and love and gentle words
We took the pains to nourish,
The seeds of discomfort would die,
And peace and concord flourish.
Oh, has not each some kindly thought?
Then let's at once awake it
Believing that for good or ill
The world is what we make it.
Then let each one, while task pursuing
Each gentle word and thought renewing,
So that when life on earth is done
We each shall rest in home, sweet home.
So now kind friends, l hope you'll see
That life should not be misery.
Belt every band ofwrong to break it;
For sure this world is what we make 1t.

Of your countrymen have found you
guilty of designing and coaspiring with
divers Democrats to become President
Of the United States, to the great harm
and personal injury of over 100000
loyal office-holders of the republic.
And more, you have caused anger,
hatred, ill-will, curses and maledictions
to spring up among the hitherto united
Republican family of this country.
Your advocates have defended you
with great zeal and ability. Indeed,
such zeal and ability have never before
been known in the history of the Pres

recommended you to mercy, I make
your sentence as lenient as the law
allows. 1t is: That you, Grover Glove

And Fanny opened her volume SO
rssolutely that her husband thought
it best not to contest the question.
Sitting all alone in front Of the

drowsy, and before she knew it she
had dropped off into the shadowy re-
gions Of dreamland.
She was aroused by the clock strik-

"Dear me, how late it is," she
thought with little start, 81 must

breakfast at five tomorrow morning,
and of course she's abed and asleep

up stairs.
"Fanny, Fanny, it is past five and
the cook hasn't come down stairs yet.
Are you sure you spoke to her last

"Oh, Frank, l forgot all about

with conscience-st stricken face. "But
I'll run right up-she can have the

She sprang out Of bed, thrust her
feet into pair of silk-lined slippers,
and threw shawl over her shoulders.
Mr.. Chickerly bit his lip, and
checked her.
"No need, Fanny" he said little
bitterly. 81 must leave the house in
