Ex-President Hayes, who refitted
and refumished his poultry yard
with apart of Mr.. Tilden's salary,
will not be permitted TO rear chick
ems in peace. Some malicious scrib-
bier has started the report that he
has contributed setting of eggs to
forward the chances Of Foraker as
the Republican candidate for Govern
or of Ohio. 1t can be safely branded
as a campaign lie" The reputation
Of Mr.. Hayes win justify any lovel
of truth in branding the story as to-
tally false. Mr.. Hayes knows the
market value of eggs as well as any
man in Ohio, and like the pruden
business man that he is, he lets then
go only for the cash.-Georgetowl

New York Waits i'm the Country.

The Syracuse Journal tells some anus
ing stories of the poor children of the
fresh air fund, from the city, now
quartered at Skaneateles. One family,
it says, has in charge little boy who
took readily to the water, and constant
watch has to be kept of the fy-away, or
he would spend his whole time in the
water near the dock On arriving at the
village, the gentleman at whose home
he was to stay bought him new suit of
clothes and a bathing rig, telling him
whenever he went into the water he
must put the suit on. The same after
noon he visited the steamboat dock, and
there in the water with his new Sunday
suit, swan his charge. He had seen a
good-size fish near the dock, and with
out waiting to get into his trunks had
jumped in to catch the fish. A bright
little girl stops with family who own
fine Jersey COW. At milking one even
ing the child went to the barn to see
the wonderful process for the first time
in her brief life She watched the white
fluid as it was drawn until pail was
nearly filled, and then, stroking the
sleek sides of the animal, said: ''Why,
she just chock full of it, amt she l'
Many a laugh is had at the childish
innocense and trick-playing propensity
of the ''fresh airs' now in the village.

Dull Times and Advertising.

Entering the store of prosperous
merchant recently, gentleman, a
stranger in town, says the Albany
Journal, expressed surprise at the busy
scene that greeted him, he inquired of
the proprietor how it was that he was
getting more than his share of business
in these dull days. The merchant re-
piled:
'I attribute the large business I do
every summer to Just two things: First,
l advertise bargains and keep my store
before the public; second, when the
public call l satisfy it by keeping my adj
vertised promises. 1t cost me S6, 600 to
learn this lesson, and it has paid me at
least S25, 900. During the three success
sive summers during the hard years that
followed 1873, l ran behind in this
store on an average of SO, 900 every year.
made up my mind that there was bus
mess to do and that l would do it. In
the middle of the worst and dullest year
that we had, when clerks were absent on
their vacations and half of the force in
the store was idle, started in and spent
81, 200 in advertising midsummer bar
gains, remnants, old stock, and so on.
Within a week my store was so full Of
business that / had to send for every
clerk who was away, and l added two
extra clerks. That year instead of a loss
of So, 900 in the summer, / made 50 500
besides what paid for advertising. |
have kept it up ever since. That was
the most expensive lesson l ever learned,
but it was the most instructive and the
most remunerative. If l had to start
business again as poor as was when |
started, would make it rule to spend
at least one-half of what my rent cost in
advertising in home papers. | would
not waste it on cheap methods, but
would spend it judiciously in the best
and high-priced departments and in the
best and most largely circulated papers. =

Taken From Life.

A New York letter says: l think
child labor more prevalent in cigar
making than in any other business in
the city. There are little children work
ing for SO week in the large dry-goods
establishments as cash boys or cash girls.
In many instances they are paid by the
call, and in many cases they have not
got any money due them on Saturday
night by reason of fines and so on. The
owners of these large dry-goods houses,
in some instances, are very severe on the
children, and treat them not like human
beings but like slaves. l can mention a
house in the city where little girl had
been working. The first week she had
to deposit 81 out of her 50 for the safe
returning of the duster and basket; she
worked there some weeks and her
mother was taken i'll, and the little girl
had to stop at home to wait on the
mother. On Monday she went for her
wages, but they would not give them to
her because she had been away. She
said her mother had been sick but it
made no difference. Then she asked for
the 81 she had deposited, and they
would not give it to her. Then she
said "Give me the duster and basket,
for l have paid for it." but they did
not, and she never got her 81.

HOW TO GET RESTED.
Some Very COmmOn-Sense Advice to- PeO-
pie n Vacation.

This is the season of the year when
young lads and girls employed in the
city shops and stores have their week or
fortnight of vacation. 1t is an important
question to decide where they shall CO.,
and how they shall use these precious
leisure days. This is, usually, their only
vacation in the year, and in it they must
secure health, strength. and vigor of
mind to support them during the rest OF
the year.
They will, perhaps, read this little in
cident with interest. A party of young
people employed in a large retail store
in New York were companions and
friends. They differed, however, in
their ideas of the way to spend their July
vacation.
81 want to 'see lifep" said Mr.. Barr,
the leader of the clique. 'I want to see
tony people, live among them, and be
one of them. for few days of the year.
I am going o." naming an expen-
sive hotel at fashionable seaside re-
sort. 'I take an upper room. Tables
the same. Then 1 can spend my money
on my clothes. / look as well as the
best, assure you"
His followers joined him. Every cent
they could raise went to buy finery,
cheap silks and imitation jewelry, with
which to "cut figure" " as they declared,
'among the swells."
When they arrived at the huge hotel
they found their rooms were hot, sitting
closets in the fifth story. Their fnery
looked cheap and pretentious. They
made no acquaintances, and remained
solitary in the great gay crowd. Ladies
avoided the pushing young men who
were trying to be stony" and men
looked askance at the young girls who
were without a chaperon in the swarm
ing hotel.
The week soon passed. They came
back to work wearied and unrefreshed,
and full of morbid jealousy and envy of
richer men and women. Another party
came back tanned, ruddy, with beaming
ewes and running over with fun concern
ing their adventures.
TeWhere did you go9 said Barr,
gruffly.
'eWe packed our old clothes and loose
shoes, and bought excursion tickets to
the sea beach," said one of the men,
s'There we camped in couple of tents,
which we hired cheaply. My mother
took the girls in charge. We fshed,
grabbed, bathed, cooked, went on long
excursions through the day and sat
about the campfire and told stories or
sung at night. l, for one, am new

WIFE AND 1.

Come and drain cup Of Joy,
Now with me, good wife.
And bring the girl and boy
Now with thee, good wife.
Let all hearts be blithe and gay.
1t is fourteen years to-day
Since you spake the little "aye"
That to me was life.
When in wedding white arrayed
beheld you stand,
Why, almost felt afraid
Een to touch your hand.
And when with love intent
Your gaze on me you bent,
You seemed being sent
From the "Better Land"
And an angel you have proved
Since that good, glad hour,
Aye, wherever we have roved
In sunshine and in shower.
In all goodness you transcend,
And all excellence blend
In the mother, wife and friend
As g sacred dover.
You have made my life more pure
Than it might have been;
You have taught me to endure,
And to strive and win.
With your simple song of praise
You sanctify our days,
And our thoughts to heaven you raise
From q world of sin.
Come let's quit the dusty town
With its noise and strife,
And seek the breezy down
That with health is rife.
Work is good and SO is play,
Let us keep our wedding day
Ger the hills and far away,
Happy man and wife.

'tNo, sir"
"Have you ever read treatise on

unfit for such a responsible position, but
if you will get the proper books, and
study and master the art, I will vote for
you next year"
