what Sporting Men Rely on.

When Lewis r. Redmond the South
Carolina moonshiner, ornered, after
for eight years eluding thegovernment
officials, was asked to surrender, he
exclaimed: - %
Never, to men who fire at my back!"
Before he was taken, five bullets had
gone clear through him, but strange to
relate, he got we'll, in the hands of a
rude backwoods nurse"
BY the way, if Garfield had been in
the hands of q backwoods nurse, he
might have lived. A heap of volun-
teer testimony against the infallibility
OF the physicans has been accommodating
oflate, and people are encouraged to do
Ghelr own doctoring more and more

ed weapon-kidney disease. But they
should have been lively and drawn
first. They could easily have disarm-
ed the monster had they covered him
with that dead shot-Warner's safe
cure, which, drawn promptly, always
takes the prey. It is doubtless true
that sporting men dread this enemy
more than any mishap of their profess
SION, and presumably this explains
why they as a rule are so partial to
that celebrated dead shot,
Redmond was right. No man
should surrender when attacked in
the back. He should ''draw'', face
about and proceed to the defence, for
such attacks, so common among all
classes, will fetch Il man every time
unless covered by that wonder
fully successful dead shot. "-sports-

but she seldom speaks of him: and
when old friends, who know not ofthis
second marriage, call her by the old
name, she never cOrrects them. nfact,
most OF her letters by post come direc-
ted to Mrs. Kate Gilman"
Then he turned once more to Joseph
inc who stood like one struggling be-
meath the weight of u terrible incubus.
and said to her with merry twinkle
IN his keen gray eyes:
$50 now, my darling, you know nv
sweet Kitty Coryden, and think YOU
will not take it further amiss-"
Before he could speak further, her
little white hand was clasped over his
mouth, and she found strength to
whisper in his ear:
"Oh, Harry, don't-don' t!ifyou can
love me still, say no more till we are
alone"
And when, later, they were alone,
Josephine humbled herself completely.
She saw her glaring fault. It was
not that she had been hurt at heart
by what she had heard of her lover,
but it was this: That she had not
confidence enough in him to ask for an
explanation.
In short she would have sacrificed
the happiness OF a lifetime to pas
sion and the prejudice of a moment.
Josephine is now happy wife, with
beautiful children laughing and play
ing around her, and from that time
that miserable evening on which she
made the acquaintance of sweet Kitty
Coryden-she has not for a momen
harbored the green-eyed monster in
her bosom. She entertained the de-
mon once, and she never will enter
tain him again.
And that same sweet Kitty Coryden
is a Joy and q blessing in her home,
and if her children were better, bright
er and more healthful and helpfc; than
children of the same age generally are,
she feels in her heart that she owes it
all to the firm yet gentle and loving
mlnistratiOns-tender and tireless-
OF their grandmother-that same
grandmother of whom she was once
upon time SO terribly Jealous.

Fresh Air For The Brain.

A physician noted for his skill in
curing nerve diseases almost invaria-
bly, separates the patient from her
family, her old nurses, and the famil-
lar, anxious, sympathizing circle of
friends, and places her in a cheerful
atmosphere, among new faces and
scenes, where she no longer can believe
herself the centre of the universe.
'There is u certain healthy, helpful
influence which naturally comes from
human beings to each other" he said,
lately, while speaking of one of his
patients. ''This woman has drained
all which her friends had to give years
ago. We need occasionally a fresh
moral and mental atmosphere, Just
as much as fresh material air to
breathe"
Another physician, visiting in a
country house where the mother "a
delicate, affectionate, self-sacrificing
woman, who lived but for her husband
and children) lay ill, with no disease
apparently but extreme weakness and
WEAKNESS, ordered her to 20 to the
city alone; to spend 4 month in ab-
solute idleness, mixing as often as
possible with crowds of people who
were interested and excited, at church,
at concerts, even in public meetings.
The patient, a shy; diftident woman,
oDeyed, and came home with color in
her cheeks and new life in her heart.
II once asked" said a well-known
lawyer, "the famous backwoods
preacher Bascom what was the secret
of his power as an orator; how he con-
trlved to sway large numbers of men
to his will. First he answered. L
bring them close to me and to each
other. Leave no empty benches be-
tween your audience. The electric
spark will not pass across a gap from
one man to the other"
These ideas may seem fanciful, but
there is a solid basis of truth under
them all. Physicians usually bring all
their skill to bear in curing the all
ments of the body. There is a human
magnetism which we are all apt to over
look III our materia medica.
handwriting women in the lonely
farms or isolated villages ofthis coun-
try often find themselves growing
irritable and nervous, and even
troubled with religious doubts, in spite
OF their fervent prayers. They do not
need tonics or moral discipline. They
need friction with unfamiliar minds,
new IDEAS, novel scenes, just as their
lungs, after using up all the oxygen
in q close room, need the air out of
DOORS
Young girls are too apt, voluntarily,
to force themselves into this state;
disappointed in their acknowledgements
for a congenial companion, they re-
solve to live alnoe, and shut them
selves into their own souls. The re-
sources are not sufficient to keep off
famine. 'Only God or a brute can
dwell i'll solitude" says the wise old
German.-Youth' Companion.

were the lucky owners of one-fiIth OF ticket

terry which drew the $25, 900 prize in the
Drawing OF July Il. This forever does
fraud, because these gentlemen are too we'll
known to admit of a single thought for a
moment that they would lend themselves
as parties to deceive the public. The fact
is, they he'd the ticket and it has been
promptly cashcd and our good friends
wear broad smiles because Of their good
luck. In the face Of undisputable facts
some will still doubt that which has been
demonstrated beyond a doubt to any rea.
sonable mind. Talk with these gentlemen
and you will then know that The Louisi-

that persons do not have to stand in with
them to be lucky. We rejoice with our
good friends and hope that they may again
hold the winning number.

DEATH OF A FORMER RESIDENT
OF MARTINsBURG.-Many of our
readers will remember the patriarch
al bearing and benign countenance of
MI. Samuel Emmert, who, for nearly
six years prior to the spring of 1873,
was a highly respected citizen of this
city. His death, which occurred at
the old homestead, in Washington
County, Md, last Saturday afternoon,
removes from the community in
which he lived, one of its most hon.
ored citizens, and a man of sterling
worth.
The health of Mr.. Emmert had
been failing for some months, and
about ten days ago, unfavorable symp-
tons set in which fastened his end.
In the spring of 1878, his son, Mr..
Elias Emmert, repurchased the old
homestead, "Fairview,n and Mr..
Emmert and his wife were welcomed
under the filial roof of a devoted son,
to end their days in the " old homes
On the last Sunday of1884, Mrs. Mary
/ Emmert, the wife of Mr.. Samuel
Emmert, was called to her reward in
Heaven. Since that time the aged
father and stricken husband, had been
" waiting at the river" and though
not impatient, he was ready to hail,
with great gladness, the coming OF
the ferryman-death.
Mr.. Emmert was the father of thir-
teen children, eleven of whom sur.
vive him. Mrs. Benz. Fiery, Mrs
w. T. Stewart, Mrs. DIR. Snodgrass
and Mr.. Frank Emmert, of this city
are among the latter. His funera
occurred on Monday of this week, his
18th birth day. The funeral services
were held in the Dunkard church al
Beaver Creek, in Washington County
Md. Though the day was one of thu
most inclement and disagreeable Of
the season, a large congregation filled
the church. Rev. Mr.. Cost, of the
Dunkard church and Rev. Mr.. Me
Fadden, pastor of the deceased, con
Quoted the exercises. A few closing
remarks made by Rev. o. f
Hippo, pastor of First Baptist Churcl
of Alexandria, Va, son-in-law of thu
deceased. Like the patriarch jacob
of old, his sons bore his body to it
last resisting place. 1t was a touch
ing and beautiful spectacle, to see ST,
devoted sons of Mr.. Emmert, bear
ing to the tomb the body of their hon
ored father. His seventh son, MI
Thomas Emmert, was unavoidabl,
absent, at his home in the far west.
Like the patriarch Abraham; "H,
gave up the ghost at a good old age
an old man and full Of years, and wa
gathered to his people."-Gatesman.
