The Value of Lemons.

The value of lemons is thoroughly
appreciated in the South, and now that
lemons and oranges from Florida are
as common and almost as cheap as APP
pies, their use can not be too much in
sisted upon. A leading physician rec
ommends that the way to get the bet
ter of the bilious system without blue
pills or quinine is to take the juice of
one, two or three lemons, as appetite
Graves, in as much cold water as makes
it pleasant to drink without sugar,
before going to bed. In the morn
ing on rising, at least half
an hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in a goblet OF
water. This will clear the system OF
humor and bile with efficiency without
any of the weakening effect of calomel
or congress water. People should not
irritate the stomach by eating lemons
clear; the powerful acid of the juice,
which is always most corrosive, inva-
riably produces Inflammation after
awhile; but properly diluted so that il
does not burn or draw the throat il
does its medical work without harm
and when the stomach is clear of fooC
has abundant opportunity to worl
over the system thoroughly Chiceg'

A DROLL SUIT.
A Singular Breach of Promise Case A
Frisky Old Gentleman.

A Singular Breach of Promise Case
Frlsky Old Gentleman.
Surely the drollest breach-of-promise
case ever brought into court is one
now pending at Williamsport Pa. A
tough old veteran of eighty became
enamored of a buxom beauty of
twenty-eight, of the name of Kentner,
and promised to marry her. Wind OF
the affair reaching the sons of the old
man and the parents of Miss Kentner,
they put their heads together and
stopped the foolish business. BY way
of a salve to the lady's feelings she got
$4,000 damages. But the octogenarian
met his charmer again, memory did
bring back the feeling, and they agreed
to elope. The lady, like Miss Mel
notte in the novel, kept her word and
went to Detroit, where her aged lover
was to meet her. But he, like Sir Fe-
liX, was not on hand. Whether he
had the same reasons for not keep
ing his engagement as that worthless
baronet, or whether his sons kept too
close watch on him, we are not in
formed. We are only told that the lady
! returned home from Detroit ''crazed
with grief. The grief must have
changed into the historic fury of the
woman scorned when she learned that
during her absence, while she was
crying HE cometh not!n in her hotel
at Detroit, the wretched old man had
actually gone off and married another
woman.
Something must be done with these
old men. Here is an old man of eighty
years of age who agrees to elope with
one girl and while her back is turned
goes off and marries another. Talk Of
the wildness of youth! 1t is high time
the clergy began course of lectures tc
old men on the necessity of moderatine
their passions. Thomas Hood had nc
notion of these times when he wrote
''When he is forsaken, withered and
shaken, what can an old man do but
dieP" Do? Why, if he had lived il
these times he would have got engaged
to a young girl and Tilted her. That il
better fun than dying. We rather sus
pect that Willis is somewhat respon
sible for the astonishing tendency o
the modern race of old men to throw
their cap over the mill top. He mean
well probably when he wrote:
at stirs the blood in an old mans heart
And makes his pulses fly,
To catch the thrill of happy voice
And the light of a pleasant eye"
But there are old men nowadays who
when their blood gets stirred and thei
pulses fly, swoop down on women fol
like an Assyrian on the fold and ravag
whole city fulls. The thing makes on
feel like "Benedick': "Hath not tn

"And a great, long SASH" This is
very slowly. "Oh, Dad, if I only could
see it. But don't cry, guess 1 won't
want it; I'm going to leave you little
while, just little while. I'm going
up there where they have lots and lots
of white dresses, all shining and pretty;
and soon you'll come, too, won't you,
DadP I'll watch for you just as did
here, and there won't be-any storms
Dad-the vessel will sail-right in on
the blue water-an' I'll be looking for
you. I'll have 'em give me-a dress
with a big, shining star on tan
you'll know me sure-I knew you'd
come!"
One last feeble pressure of his hand,
one little smile, and 10 waits and
watches no more ON earth.
A strange calm falls upon the old
man.. They can not persuade him to
leave her for an instant. He is utterly
deaf to their entreaties, and, kneelng
by the bed, he presses from time to
time her ice cold hand to his lips. All
through the long night he keeps his
silent watch, and when another morn
ing breaks they find him still there.
| Mechanically he watches them robe
her for the last resting-place, in pure,
white garments that kind-hearted
neighbor has brought; unmoved he
sees them place a few snowy buds in
her hands.
Presently the door opens softly, a
|'rough-looking fisherman comes in, and,
bending over the coffin, his tears fall
like rain upon the face within.
THE little gal was so happy yester
day." he says, turning to the old man
who, even now, will not remove his
gaze from her. 'I'll never forget hel
standin' there an sayin' as how she
wished she could do something big fol
Dad; an she has, she has, poor LITTLE
girl"
Covering his face with his horny
hands, he breaks into bitter weeping
and, turning, leaves the room.
The old man leaves the room. Hi
whole face changes. The terrible cain
has broken up, but no tears come
Only look of unutterable gladnes
and joy.

His head fell forward upon the coffin
Some one comes in presently and find
him there. He is quite dead.
They bury them side by side, in on,
grave, close by the murmuring sea
and at the head they place simple
white wooden shaft, with just thes,
