Llncoln's Proverbs.

Halston in New York Times: An
autograph letter that would like to
own was shown me a few days ago.
"A Lincoln" was boldly signed at the
end of it, and this wisdom was there,
Photographed in this wise:
''Do not worry.
Eat three square meals day.
Say your prayers.
''Think of your wife.
''Be courteous IT, your creditors.
keep your digestion good.
''Steer clear of the billiousness.
Exercise.
Go slow and 60 easy.
Maybe there are other things that
your especial case requires to make
you happy. but, my friend, these, I
reckon, will give you good lift.'

Au Old Mexican Church.

An FL Paso, Texas, paper says of the
old Mexican town across the Rio
Grande: lin Paso del Norte there is
cathedral 325 years old, built by
Spanish Jesuits. It is not that the
general plan is elaborate; on the con-
trary; it is one of beautiful appro-
priateuess and simplicity-offering in
this respect a lesson to the moderns.
The walls are of adobe, plain and
straight, and neither the walls nor the
massive timbers are any the worse for
their three centuries of wear. But the
heavy woodwork everywhere is
beautifully carved. In the cathedral
are records of great historic value,
reaching back hundreds of years.
Some of tho decorations and religious
emblems are presents from the mon
archs OF Spain. The old church is
we'll worth a visit from any tourist.
particularly the student of art and
history. But to tourist who has
never seen a Mexican town 1t is not
the only object of interest by any means.
There are the quaint streets of ancient
adobe houses, with dark-eycd senoritas
peeping from the windows-when there
are any-or through the cracks of the
doors. Some of the senoritas are very
handsome and not averse to little
harmless filtration with the fair haired
son of tho North. They listen with
charming attention while he says fine
things in a tongue they do not under
stand. The town of Paso del Norte
has population of about Z, 000--pretty
fair for a Mexican town. But thirty
years ago it was city of 10000 souls.
"A thriving city wo should have called
it in the United States. What has
become OF this large population no one
can tell. They have folded their tents
like the Arabs and silently stolen
away.

A Discovery.

A few months since q common fod-
der plant was discovered that has the
most remarkable effect imaginable on
tho nervous system. First, the women
went wild over it, for nervous exhaus-
ton and effects of severe mental and
physical over-work. Now it is ascer-
tanned that it will stop the liquor habit
and remove the effects of dissipation
and physical abuses at once and make
you strong and vigorous, without any
reaction or bad effects. 1t is called
''Moxie Nerve Food" and is the finest
beverage in America. Price low, and
is for sale by Druggists and Grocers,
everywhere.

A Publ OF List,

A young girl pianist was about to
give her first concert in one of the for
eign Capitals. She had never seen the
great Hungarian composer, but sho was
tempted to insert in the programs she
sent out the alluring notice ''Pupil of
Liszt," deeming herself perfectly safe
from detection, as the musician was far
away. Just before the day of the con-
cert she took up newspaper, and, to
her horror, among the names of the
arrivals at q certain hotel in the city
she read that of the Able Liszt. What
was she to do? To publicly confess
her fraud at the outset of her musical
career would be to crush it at once. A
straightforward plan suggested itself.
Acting upon it. she went to the hotel,
asked to sec the Able, and threw her
self on his mercy. Liszt asked her q
few questions, and then requested her

to perform at the concert. While she

CHIAEs.


Far above the fern and NOSE,
Fluttering birch and wee ar cross
And the pines low murmuring,
There the frightened lichens cling
To the overhanging edge
OF the precipice and ledge,
Fearless in their dainty Rlee,
Have the bsrebells merriiy.
From their dusky rafters hung,
Meier In Belgian belffy swung
Bells more exquisitely wrought!
BY tho mountain breezes caught
Tossing, swaying to and fro-
While beside them bending low,
Breathlessly wait to hear
Echo OF their Ginning clear.
But the airy harmony
IL too wonderful for me,
And cannot catch strain
OF that rare and sweet refrain.
Yet tho tiny bells still ring,
And they shall my greeting bring
Till. though ne'er 90 softly stirred,
Every trembling note 10 heard.
