He'd Choose to be a Baby,

The following story was told at the
recent encampment of the grand army at
Mexico, Missouri. A group around one
of the numerous camp fires were relating
incidents of bravery and cowardicc
shown in battle, and this is one of them:
ut was at the battle of Gettysburg"
said the speaker "when the bullets were
falling like hail, and the shells were a
shrieking and bursting over our heads in
a way to make the bravest heart tremble,
a private dropped out of the ranks and
shulked back toward the rear. He was
well under way, when, unfortunately for
him, he was met by Gcneral Slocum
coming to the front.
Whit are you doing here? Get
back to your post, the general shouted.
"The poor fellow stopped still and
trcmb!ed like a leaf, but made no reply
''Get back to your post, you miserable
coward aren't you ashamed of yourself
to be skulking back here when You
should be in the front with your brave
comrades2"
"Still the man made no reply, but
commenced to cry like year-oll infant
"'You infam )us, sneakng coward, ,
shouted the infuriatc1 general
get back to your post; I'll ride YOU
down like dog. Why, you are nothing
but baby
"II-I'll t-t-t-tcll you what, g-g-gcner-
al, said the blubbering fellow, I'D
g-g-g-givc anything just n-n-now if /
was a b-b-baby, and i-i-f l had my
ch-ch- choice I'd r,r-rather be a female
b-b-b-baby.'"

Hints TO Consu mptixes.

Consumptives should use food rs nourishing
as can be had, and in a shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste of the pa
tient.
Outdoor exercise is earnestly recommended.
If you are unable to take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors but you
should take exercise in carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause expectoration must
be avoided. For five hundred years ply
sicians have tried to cure Consumption by
ing them, and have failed. Where there is
great arrangement Of the secretions, with
engagement Of air-cells, there is always
profuse expectoratiop. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and the arrangement
Of the secretions, and consequently land in
this way only diminishes the amount Of mat
ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry
up a cough, but removes the cause of it.
When it is impossible from debility or other
causes 10 exercise freely in the open air, apart
ments occupied by the patient should be so
of fresh air in abundance.
The surface of the body should be sponged
as often as every third day with tepd water
any other) After thoroughly drying, use
friction with the hand moistened with oil,
Cod-Liver or Olive is the best, This keeps the
pc es of the skin in soft. pliable condition,
which contributes mater tally TO the unloading
of waste matter from the system through this
organ. You will please rccolec we cure this
d sease by enabling the orr ans of the sys EN-
to perform their 1unct ms in a ncrmal way,
or, in other wolds we remove obstruction
while the recuperative powers Of the system
cure the disease.
We will here say a word in regard to cough
in the rming stage, where there is no con
stitutional or not .ccable disease. A cough
may may not foreshadow serious evil TAX
It in its mi des form, TO say tho least, it is a
nu sance, and should be abated.
A cough is unlike any other symptom of dis
ease. 1t stands a conspirator. with threaten
ing voice, menacing the health and existence
of q vital organ. Its first approach is in whis-
pers unntellgible, and Mt first too often un-
needed, but in time it never fails to ma itself
understood never fails TO claim the attenti II
of those on whom it calls.
II you have cough without disease of the
lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, SC
much the better, as n few do cs of Pisos Cure
will be all you may need, while if you 70 far
advanced in Consumption, several bottles may
be required to effect a permanent cure.

Hints About Flowers.

One of the best methods to start rose
cuttings is to stick the cuttings about an
inch deep into moist clean river sand
with good we'll prepared soil below to
receive the roots as soon as they
strike.
Fed spiders are easiest destroyed by
laying the plants carefully on their
sides in the open air and using a hand
syringe on them as powerfully as
they will bear. If little sulphur
is used in the water it is still more eff
fective.
The tuberose will bear but little cold.
The temperature should not fall belo W
fifty degrees or there will be trouble by
rotting at the center. 1t is native OF
the Malay archipelago.
If you wish your house plants to flour
ish put few drops of spirits of ammonia
t. each pint of water used in watering
them,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Waste nothing, neither money, time nor
talent.
The wise carry their knowledge as they
do their watches, not for display, but for
their own use.
Put this restriction on your pleasures :
Be cautious that they injurc no being
which has life.
Happiness is often at our side, and we
pass her by. Misfortune is afar off, and
we rush to meet her.
Receive no satisfaction for prcme litated
impcrtincnce; forget it, forgive it, but
keep him inexorably at distance who
offered it.
One of the illusions is that the present
hour is not the critical, decisive hour.
Write it on your heart that every day is
the best day in the year.
Too many young men believe that
''thc world owes every man a living"
and that it requires no effort on mans
part to make the collection.
In early childhood, you may lay the
foundation of poverty or riches, industry
or idlcncss, good or evil, by the habits to
which you train your Children Teach
them right habits then, and their future
life is safe
Idleness is the hot bed of temptation,
the crad!" of disease. the waster of time.
the canker worm of felicity. TO him that
has no employment, life in little while
will have no novelty; and when novelty
is laid in the grave, the funeral of COM
fort will soon follow.
fyou cannot be happy in one way be in
another; and this facility of disposition
wants but little aid from philosophy, for
health and good humor are almost the
whole affair. Many run about after fc-
licity, like an absent minded man hunt
ing for his hat, while it is in his hand or
on his head
