WHAT PARENTS FEAR.

Many persons-especially parents
object to many quack nostrums as like
ly to engender or encourage love for
strong drink. They are right. Better
die cf disease than of drunkenness. The
use of Parker's Tonic does not involve
this danger. 1t not only builds up the
system, curing all ailments of the
stomach, liver and kidneys, but it
stimulates without intoxicating and
absolutely cures the appetite for liquor.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Imitation always follows a successful
article, and imitation is one of the best
proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is
that the james Boss Gold Watch Case has
its imitators. Buyers can always tell the
genuine by the trademark of crorn, from
which is suspended pair of ,, - x.,x
scales. Be sure BOTH croun and Z q
scales are stamped in the cap of the watch
case. Jewellers are very cautious about en-
dorsing an article unless they not only knog
that it is good, but that the character of
the manufacturers is such that the quality
of the goods will be kept fully up to standard.

Spreading the Gospel in Arkansas.

A methodist preacher in one of the
mountain districts of Arkansas one day
happened upon family to whom the
light of the Gospel had come only
through a glass darkly, and the biblical
knowledge of the household was very
limited. He at once set about posting
the members by reading to them from
the Bible. He turned to the story of
the Prodigal Son, and was reading to a
very attentive audience, until he came
to that portion narrating the killing of
the fatted calf.
whats that, mister-what's that?'
interrupted the mother excitedly. Did
yer say the old man killed fat calf fur
that boy of his'n?"
That's exactly what the book says
sister"
well, yer kin just shet hit up.
don't wanter FAR sich stuff as thet."
"Why, my Christian friend, that is
the Gospel, and there can be nothing
wrong in that"
Yes. thar is, too. / hain't so very

A Very Conscientious RepOrter.

Ttis n breach of confidence for
member or an officer of the Senate to
disclose the transactions of a secret ses-
sion, until the removal of the injunc-
ton of secrecy by formal resolution of
that body. Still, newspaper CORES
pondents generally manage to find them
out. in some way. So well known was
their accomplishment in this direction,
that senators would oftentimes 90 to
the reporters for information as to what
had been done in secret session, instead
of the reporters to the senators! Once,
late in the afternoon, met correspond
ent coming from the Capitol. The law
maker asked what was being done in
the Senate. "Oh, nothing important"
was the answer. They have just gone
out of executive session and are now
discussing the subject they had up yes
terday." The senator was evidently
interested in some nomination or other
business, and so he persisted and asked
the correspondent what action had been
taken in executive session. The news
paper man coolly eyed the senator for
"a few moments, and then cautiously re-
marked: "Well, you Congressman are
getting to be such free takers, / think
I'd better not tell you!' !'-Edmu,ad A.
ton, a72 ST. Nicholas for Fe6ruaru.

A Knowing Parrot.

A correspondent of the Norwich
Conn., Bulletin is responsible for the
following:
The venerable pastor of Putnam, the
Rev. Father Vygen, owns parrot
which is linguist, musician, telephone
operator, gymnast, and contortionist.
The bird will speak Irish. Dutch, Eng
lish and French, and learn a lesson in
any of them with remarkable facility.
Music charms him. He frequently es-
says to sing, and reproduces the sound
of the human voice so we'll that one
can tell whose voice he initiates. His
voice and humor are best generally in
the morning. He mimics the do
mestic animals, canary bird, cat, and
rooster; whistles for the little poodle,
and kindly calls the Newfoundland
dog by pet name. The names of the
household members are often on his
tongue. His friendship is perpetualiy
particular for certain individual; he
has fits of revenge, and is very violent
in self-defense. He commands, exhorts,
and denounces as if endowed with hu-
man intelligence; has somewhat reg
ular hour for retiring, manifesting his
desire therefore by a screech of inpa-
tience. He undertakes TO advise child
rem regarding the propriety of going to
school, and using handkerchief when
necessary. If the indolent youngsters
were as assiduous in their application
as this parrot, they would be bright
scholars. Although he seemingly dis
tinguishes where there is a difference
of rank, he has very little reverence for
the most distinguished in church or
state, and naturally has no human
respect" At times he assumes med
itative mien, especially after active and
talkative scenes. He takes great de-
light in whistling the raise-up-the-cur-
tain, and -withthe-play ga
NUT, common in the opera houses and
halls; apparently knows good from evil
and is quick to declare that that quail
ty exists in certain things. He put a
period to any current nonsense by his
imperative "Stop!' appreciates the
physiological benefit of hearty laugh
when in the proper mood; holds pro-
longed conversations by telephone and
otherwise, and manifests love for the
so-called almighty dollar on meet oc-
casions. The bird is wonderful above
his kind.

Il intended to tell Jane to bring a

You doubtless mean a bucket of

Il wish you would pay some little at
tention to rhetoric. Your mistakes
are embarrassing.
A few moments later the professor
said:

to better advantage if you We're to

"Ah," she replied, you doubtless

He cometh not! she said"
He never came whose step and loving call
waited long to hear,
But thou hast come, last Messenger of all,
A friend well nigh as dear!
Peace if not joy!-yet peace itself were gain,
That must supremey bless
The soul sore Travelled that in vain, In vain
Hungered for happiness!
Draw closer, o, thou voiceless Guest and pale,
Whose dropping torch burns low;
Thy face is hid, but through the somber veil
Thine eyes dark light know!
Nay, closer stilll-I yearn on brow and heart
Thy cool, strong hand TO feel;
Feyered with wounds and throbbing with
smart
Thy touch alone can heal.
