The Country Boy.
Iowa HOmestead.l


The country boy or girl is face to face
with practical realities. He sees how
slowly money is made on the farm, he
is taught from youth up the need of
economy, he has the nature of saving
first explained to him every day in the
week; he h not exposed to the tempta-
ton ofthe saloon, or the ball room, and
he Is not tempted 50 much to bea lsdy's
man before he has occasion to use q
razor on his downy cheeks He may
he trifie rude, he may not feel easy
in company, but in the long, closely
contested race Of life, ii is the chap
that trudges to school barefooted In
summer, and in stOgies i'm the winter,
whose mother cuts his hair with the
sheep shears, that leads the chap that
goes to the city school, with the starch-
ed shirt front and fancy slippers, and
whose head is shaved with the lawn
mower In barber shops. Such has been
our observation, and We think We
know what we are talking about.

THE GILDED SALOON.


"Let us CO." said a vicious
But resolute youth
To another all gentleness,
Virtue and truth,
ave will go and return
By the light Of the moon,
And nee the glad sights
In the gilded saloon"
"Come, no hesitation,
Exhibit some dash
have spent all my money,
You have plenty Of cash;
For once show your manhood,
And don't be "A spoon,
And Wen have n grand time
In the gilded saloon"
He yielded: they entered
The portal Of sin.
The viol. the harp
And the swim violin
Were sounding and crashing
In boiste erous tune,
And gay was the scene
In the gilded saloon.
But brawl fiercely rising
Now silenced the mirth,
A pistol cracked sharply,
A bullet went forth.
II pierced the youths heart,
And he fell all too soon,
And his pure life went out
In the gilded saloon.
In moment the grief-stricken
Father was there,
And the sheen ofthe lamps
lit the gray Of his hair;
And the mothers wild cries
Rose I'm lieu of the tune,
And her tears washed the floor
or 1.-THE gfided saloon.

|eppen's Clething House,
The Ocean.

~. wendell Holmes i'm Atlantic Monthly.
The ocean says to the dweller on its
shores:
"YOu are neither welcome nor un-
welcome. | do not trouble myself
with the living tribes that come down
to my waters. have my own people
an older race than yours, that grow
to mightier dimensions than your mas.
tOdons and your elephants more
nu nerOus than fill the air or move over
the thin crust of the earth. Who are
you that build your gay palaces ON my
margin? | see your white faces as
saw the dark faces OF the tribes that
came before you, rs shall look upon
the unknown family Of mankind that
will come after you. And what IL your
whole human family but parenthesis
in a single page of my history? The
rain-drops sterotyped themselves on my
beaches before living creature left his
footprints there. This bOrseshoe-crab
i fling at your feet IL of older lineage
than your Adam-unless, perhaps, you
count your Adam as of his descendants.
What feeling have l for you? Not
scOrn-not hatred-not love-not lOath-
ing. No Indifference-blank indiffer-
ence to you and your affairs-that is
my feeling-say, rather, absence of
feeling-as regards you. Oh, yes, l
will lap your feet, will cool you in the
hot summer days, will rock you on
my rolling undulatiOns like baby in
his cradle. Am not kind? Am not
harmless But bark! The wind is
rising, and the wind and are rough
playmates What do you say to my
voice now? Do you see my foaming
lips ? Do you feel the rocks tremble as
my great pillows crash against them
Is not my snger terrible as dash your
argosy, your Misunderstanding frigate,
into fragments, as you would crack AN
egg-shell No not anger; deaf, blind,
unheeding ndifference-thatis is all. Out
Of me all things arose sooner or later,

around me- change not. 1 look not

the bridegroom follows the bier of her
who has changed her nuptial raiment

and isles grow old, and waste, and dis
appear. The hardest rock crumbles !:
vegetable and animal kingdoms come
into being, wax great, decline, and
perish, to give way to others, even as
human dynasties and nations and races
come and 60. Look on me! Time
writes no wrinkle on my forehead.
Listen to me All tongues are spoken
on my shores, but l have only one
language; the winds taught me their
vowels; the erags and the sands
schooled me in my rough or smooth
consOnants. Few words are mine, but
l have whispered them and shouted
them to men of all tribes from the time
when the first wild wanderer strayed
into my awful presence. Have you a
grief that gnaws at your heart>strings ?
Come with it to my shore, as Of old the
priest OF fardarting Apollo carried his
rage and anguish to the margin Of the

infinite and eternal In your conscious

OUGHT TO HAVE A FAIR SHOW.

VONlngtOn COInmOhWeaIth.I
There are mutterings of opposition to
Tate in some of the mountain counties.
Indeed the Democrats of Morgan have
nominated Judge Beckner. Perhaps
the opposition at best would not have
amounted to much; but what there is
of it ought to have fair show. Tate, we
believe, has held the office for about
sixteen years, and a good many DEM
ocrats think the doctrine of rotation
applies to him.

Why should the Central Committee
assume to nominate Mr.. Tate? II Mr..
Tate was the only Democrat announced
what necessity was there for the Cen
trail Committee 10 take action i'm the

duty of the Central Committee to

1t has been source of much surprise
to Professor NOrdenskjold that during
numerous expeditions within the Are
tic circle, in regions where animal life
is abundant, he has found only very
few remains of animal which died a
natural death. No one has any idea of
what becomes of the bodies of such an
imals, and it is indeed very strange, as
he remarks, that on Spitzenbergen it is
easier to find bones of a gigantic lizard
of remote geological time than those of
q "self-dead" seal, walrus or bird. The
same is is also true of some places not
SO far north.

THE PEOPLE MAY RESENT 1T.

lPaducah News.
The State Democratic Committee,
while in session in Frank fort yesterday,
nominated Hon. James w. Tate for
reelection as Treasurer. The commits
tees would have pleased the people
better If they had called convention
to make the selection, and this fact
may forcibly manifest itself before
August. The people don't like to have
their rights curtailed. and in these days
are free to say 30 when they feel so
inclined.

[Chamberss JournaI.l
How Is ii that Arabs contrive to live
in the waterIess deserts Of that much
talked-of-region? They are, to begin
with, absteminous in their habits, and
know every erevice and hollow in the
hills where water will collect. They
regard this fluid more, perhaps, in the
light ofa luxury than As necessity,
and Use It with wonderful economy.
They would never think Of wasting IL
on the exterior of their bodies, and e,n-
slider that once in forty>eight hours Is
often enough to replenish the inner
man. General Colston tells us that
when Besiouins came TO his camp wa,
ter would be offered them, but would
often be refused with the remark that
the visitor had drunk yesterday. By
cultivsting this habit OF sstemiousness,
are able to cover immense distances,
which would be impossible for Euro
pean, unless he were accompanied by

The way to get the better of the bill
ious system without blue pills or quinine
is to take the juice of one, two or three
lemons, as appetite Graves, in as much
water as makes it pleasant to drink
withou ut sugar, before going to bed. In
the morning, on rising, at least half an
hour before breakfast. take the juice of
one lemon in q goblet of water. This
will clear the system of humor and
bile with efficiency, without any of the
weakening effects of cs,lomel. People
should not irritate the stomach by eat
ing lemons clear; the powerful acid of
the juice. which is always most corro-
sive, invariably produces Inflammation
after IA while, but properly diluted, so
that IL does not burn or draw the throat
it does its medical work without harm,
and, when the stomach is clear of food,
has abundant opportunity to work
over the system thoroughly.

ayoung man of energy, popularity

will go into the fight to win if an
active and energetic canvass will
avail anything, His opponent, Mr..

vass, and we may look for short
and heated canvass during the pre-
sent month. Mr.. Richardson is a
Democrat and his opponent is a Re-
publican but neither has received a
party endorsement, but both will
probably rely upon individual merits
and personal popularity to a great
extent. Both will have strong fol-
