the MINUTE GUN AT SEA.
Let him who sghs In sadness here
Rejoice and know friend is near.
What thrilling sounds are those hear?
What being comes to gloom to cheer?
When In the storm on Albion's coast
The night watch guards his weary post,
From thoughts Of danger free,
lie marks some vessels dusky form
And hears, amid the bowling storm,
The minute gun at sea.
Swift on the shore hardy few
The lifeboat man with gallant crew
And dare the dangerous wave;
Through the wild surft they cleave their way,
Lost In the foam, nor know dsmay,
For they go the crew to save.
But, oh! what rapture ns the breast
OF the hopeless crew Of the ship distressed!
Then landed safe, what joy to tell
OF all the dangers that beiell!
Then is heard no more
BY the watch on the snore
The minute gun at sea.
This popular duet was written about the begin

English gentlcman and was set to music by another
Englishman, NJ. p. King, who was for some years an
organlst In New York, and died In that city half a
century ago. "Mary's Dream" was another favorlte.
and was set to music perfect as the words. II was
written by young Scotch poet, John Lowe, who
was born In 1850. He was tutor In the family Of a
wealthy gentleman, whose daughters afflanced
lover was drowned at sea. The poem was written

l see that Joseph Haworth. one of several young
actors on whom, their managers inform the public,
themante ofthelate John Mccullough has fallen has
been playing Romeo to Margaret Mather's Juliet
From the remarks OF the critics. 1t is to be inferred
that Joseph does not make an ideal lover. This is
not at all strange. The Josephs never did do much
In that line, as far back as the days of Pophars
wife.

Demorest's Monthly.
1t is a curious fact that theju judiciary
all over the country seem DESTROYS to
take the part of the liquor interest in
the prevailing contest with the Pro-
hibitionists. The judges have inter
fered in Ohio, Iowa, and Kansas, to
nullify as far as possible every enact
ment designed to restrict the sale of
strong drink. After the hard-fought
battle in Atlanta, Ga, in which Pro
hibition won, a judge had his writ
ready to declare the election void.
Fortunately the temperance feeling
is now so pronounced in Georgia that
all the courts in the State cannot pre-
vent the final extinction of the liquor
traffic. OtherSouthern States WILSON
the heard from. In this matter the
South is in advance of the North, but
from every quarter come encouraging
reports.

Don't Undervalue the Boy.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist
Too many men make their boys
feel that they are of little or no ac-
count while they areboys. Lay re-
sponsibility on a boy, and he will
meet it in a manful spirit. On no ac-
count ignore their disposition to in
vestigate. Help them to understand
things. Encourage them to know
what they are about. We are too apt
to treat boys seeking after knowl-
edge as mere idle curiosity. "Don't
ask questions" is pooradviceto boys.
If you do not explain puzzling things
to them, you oblige them to make
many experiments before they find
out, and though experimep tai knowl-
edge is best, in one sense, in another
it is not, for that which can be ex-
planned clearly, does not need expert
menting with. If the principle in
volved is understood, there is no fur
ther trouble, and theboy can go ahead
intelligently.
Do not wait for the boy to grow up
before you begin to treat him as an
equal. A proper amount of conf
dence, and words Of encouragement
and advice, and giving him to under
stand that you trust him in many
ways, helps to make a man of him
long before he is a man in either stat.
ure or years.

Bought Rebel Bonds on Campaign
Advice.

Chambersburg Herald.
Some men don't seem to under
stand the difference between political
assertions and business facts. Three
or four days before election a Balti-
more lawyer madea speech in a coun-
try village. Being red-hot Repub-
lican, he naturally gave the Demo-
cratic party the best he had in his
mouth, and among other things as
serted that in case of Democratic sue
success, the country would have to
pay the Confederate bonds. Two or
three days after the election a man
walked into the lawyers Office and
opened a valice and took from it
$92O,OO0 of rebel bonds, and said:
"What are they worth?"
"Four cents a pound"
"But the Democratic party has tri-
umphed."
"What of that?"
"But won't the country have to
pay these bonds?"
"Not by a joyful"
The bondholder looked steadfastly
at the lawyer for long minute, and
then said, slowly:
"Well, by gum! After ninety-six
of us Republicans who listened to
your speech wentandvoted the DEM
ocratic ticket in order to realize on
our bonds you nowtell me youdidn't
mean what you said"

The Leveling Process.
Memphis Ledger.

Memphis Ledger.
One Of our exchanges predicts that
thirty years from now there will not
be Vanderbilt in existence worth
$1,O0O,000. The levelling processes of
law and customs work great changes
in the course of a generation or two.
This is a well known fact, which
gives the masses a sense of security
in the face of colossal fortunes sud-
denly acquired. People who under
stand these things are never alarmed,
knowing that the descendants of the
VanderbiltS, Goulds, and Hunting
dons are not likely to be more power
full or inimical to the common well
fare three generations hence than
their ancestors were three generations
ago. If the acquisition or inheritance
of property were acrimeor an offense
against society, as some wild theorists
seem to think, it should be remem-
bered that the evil carries its own an
tidote and remedy. There is pent
up reaction end force, within which
compels a distribution of big fortunes
sooner or later. There is no danger
that hereditary wealth will rule this

The farm team which is accustomed
to heavy work should never be driven
on the roads rapidly. Horses which
are pulled heavily, and are accustom-
ed to slow work, become used to 60
ing at a slow gait, and a rapid motion
is injurious to them. Their joints
become stiffened, and their muscles
less pliable than in a younger animal,
or one that is trained to rapid motion.

for any throat or lung disease suscep-

AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t is Il
