GEMS OF THOUGHT.


Six things are requisite to create a
happy home. Integrity must be the
architect and tidiness the upholsterer.
1t must be warmed by affection, lighted
up with cheerfulness, and industry must
be the v%entilator, renewing the atmo-
sphere and bringing in fresh salubrity
day by day; while over all, as n protect
ing canopy and glory, nothing will suf-
flee except the blessing of God.-HamiL-
ton.
There are some persons who never
succeed, from being too INDECENT to at
tempt anything; and others who regu-
larly fail, because the instant they find
success in their power they grow indif-
ferent and give over the attempt.-Haz-
lit.
A dull man is so near q dead man that
he is hardly to be ranked in the list of
the living; and as he is not to be buried
whilst he is half alive, so he is as little
to be employed whilst he is half dead.
-SaDilIe.
The man who is suspicious lives in a
constant state OF unhappiness. 1t would
be better for his peace of mind to be too
trustful than too guarded.-Mason.
To be tiattered is grateful, even when
we know that our praises are not be-
ieved by those who pronounce them;
for they prove at least our power, and
show that u favor IS valued, since it is
purchased by the of falsehood.

The Forest Of Fontainehleau.

The forest of Notwithstanding
ed for its wonderful views and magni-
ficent old trees-is threatened with a,
devastation, which, while slow, is mono
the less certain and irremediable. Little
by little its century, old oaks and
beechcs are being cut down to be con-
verified into plaaks, and cordwood, while
here and there quarries have been open
ed in the picturesque ravines to convert
the moss covered granite rocks, the de-
light of generations of artists, into
paving stones. For many years there
has existed n sort of tacit understanding
between the artist colony in and around
Fontainebleau and those in charge Of
the forest that certain portions OF the
forest should be kept sacred from the
woodlands TX, but every year the artist&
had occasion to complain that this or
that picturesque nook had been spoiled,
and just now they are highly indignant
over the fact that Bas-Breau, one of their
~favorite sketching-grounds, and among
the widest corners of the forest, has
been .neted out for destruction. They
are preparing to present a petition to
the minister of the interior on the SUBJ
ject, and maybe this step will result in
putting an end to the destruction which
has already lone so much damage. 1t
is not only artists who are interested in
this matter, the inhabitants of the many
villages scattered through the forest are
interested, for q large portion of their
income is derived from tourists who are
attracted to the ncighborhood by its
fame and beauty. If the latter is de-
stroyed the former will not be long in
disappearing. Paris Cor. New Orleans

Not So Dead After ALI,

Once upon a time, many years ago,
when the great Abouel Shindig reigned
over Persia, there came to him in CREST
haste a courier with the startling inte,ai-
gence that n of the royal mules was
dead. AS such a thing had never been
heard OF before the King believed not,
and said:
This cannot be So"
by the great prophet I swear it,"
t.the courier replied:
Then Abou became very angry and
cried:
Thou Hest. slave. Thy life shall
pay the penalty"
And the poor c%ourier's head was
taken off by the administration. Not
w~ithstanding Abou's unbelief he sent
another courier to investigate the mat
ter. The courier soon returned and
bowed low before the King.
s'Speak, slave" said Abou.
s'The mule is dead"
.sThou art also a liar. Thine eyes
shallpay the forfeit"
And the poor fellows eyes were put
out by q royal command and a hot iron.
But Abon was now interested, and dis
patched n third courier to see il the re.
port was true. This courier returned
in a short time and verified the state.
ment Of the other two. Still uncon.
WINGED, Abou had the courier put in
prisonito await the royal pleasure, and
| went himself to see the remains. The
report was true. The mules was dead,
Abou sent for all the great men and
savants of the realm, and gave great
feast, to which he invited all his rela
tives, including his mother-in-law, and
the prophets and seers, and when they
had all gathered at the feast the mule
was brought in that they might see il
with their own eye. And they feasted and
drank wine until q late hour, and were
preparing to rise from the table when
something grasped Abou by the hal,
of the head and, lifting him up, sat him
down on the floor with such violence as
to disolcate his store teeth and ram 8

Origin Of Yankee Doodle.

Or. George H. Moore said in q lecture
before the New York Historical Society:
THE earliest tradition about the word
Yankee would assign it to Farmer Hast
ings, who lived in Cambridge in 17l3,
and with whom Yankee cider meant
excellent cider or Yankee beans ex-
Icellent beans. The term stuck to the
old man, with whom the Harvard stu
dents Of that day q up livery bills, and
soon came in college slang to mean
foolish or weak minded. In this con-
temPtaous sense il was applied later to
all New Englanders. For 100 years
American philologists have been trying
to trace the term to an Indian source.
1t is not Indian, however, but Dutch.
II n might characterize the relations
between New England and the New
Netherlands in the early colonial period,
he would say with Irving that the Yam
kee despised the Dutchman and the
Dutchman abominated the Yankee
The Dutch verb Yankee means to
snarl, wrangle, banker after, and the
noun sYanker,' bowling cur, is perhaps
the most expressive term of contempt
in the whole language. Out of that
acrimonious struggle between Connect
cut and New Amsterdam came the nick
name which stuck to the descendants Of
the Puritans ever since.
The air had been popular in England
as early as 1880 under the name of
Fishers Jig" And when the New
England contingent with its Falstaffan
appearance and psalm-like marching
music came to Albany in the French and
Indian var nj of the British wits, DR..
Richard Shutberg, an army surgeon,
took the rafting tune for a set of satir-
ical verses on their sober and
ridiculous attire. The British fleet sail
ed into Boston harbor in 1868 with the
military bands playing yankee Doc
die" in contempt. The British were
giao to drop it after Lexington and Con-
cord and listened with chagrin when
the American bands retaliated at Sara
toga and Yorktown.
1.-The American" said the lecturer at
the end, WHOSE heart is not stirred by
the simple drum and fife tunes of yam
kee DOODLE knows little of the history
Of his country and cares less for its
heroic past. The poet who shall make
an immortal song fit for union with
notes which re-echo the tones of the
first century Of American patriotism,
will command the homage Of all coming
centuries Of American freedom"

Romance of a Ring.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

Judge Roney delivered his decision
yesterday in case based upon pecu-
liar facts and not without romantic
interest. The names of the parties
are not necessary to the recital of the
case. Suffice to say that an attractive
young lady of Our county was sued In
justice court in this city by young
man, equally well known, for the pos
session of ring. Owing to some ina
perfection in the service Of the notice
upon the young lady she paid no at
tentioa to it, and made no defense IN
the justice court. Judgment was
therefore entered against her, ard the
justice constituting it in the nature of a
bail trover procedure, a constable
was sent to secure the ring. The young
lady had the ring upon her finger, and
refused pointedly aud positively to
surrender 1t.
The constable retired in good order
and reported the state of affairs. The
plaintiff in the case thereupon took
oat possessory warrant to empower
the constable to get the ring with
or without the young lsdy's consent.
At this stage of the case the young
lady came forward through her attor-
ney, Mr.. w. H. Fleming, and set out
that the case was not an action in tro-
yer but assumpsit; further, that the
ring had been given 10 her by the
brother of the plaintiff, who was now
dead, as an engagement ring; that she
had been in the peaceful and undis-
puted possession of the same for four
years; that it was cherished memen-
to of her dead lover and she refused to
reliqaish it.
The case came before Judge Roney
upon certiorari from the justice court,
and after reviewing the foregoing
facts he decided that the ring should
remain in possession of the young
lady.
The gallant members Of the bar who
were present heartily concurred in
the decision, and some of them said at
the side-bar they would have left the
ring in possession of the young lady
even if a strain of the statutes had been
necessary

Protecting Their flights.

Probably no concern in the country has
adhered more strictly to the determin-
alton to achieve success by the liberal
use of printers ink than has the Brown
Chemical Company, of Baltimore, Md.
Starting business about five years ago,
they have expended over s1,50O,000 in
the preparation and circulation of
printed matter, more than half of
which has been paid for newspaper adj
vertising. All this has been done to
make known the virtues of their cele-
brated Browns Iron Bitters.
As might be expected, very large sales
have resulted from this enormous out
lay. In fact, Browns Iron Bitters is
about as staple in many drug stores as
is -four at the corner grocery. Like all
good things Browns Iron Bitters has
been largely initiated. There are I'M
scrupulous manufacturers who cater to
Just this sort of trade, and some dealers
are so lacking in principle, that because
a greater profit can be made on fraudu-
lent than on genuine medicines, they
are willing to delude the public by push
ing off Iron Tonic Bitters and other
Tonic Medicines in place of the genuine
Browns Iron Bitters, which is undoubt-
eddy one of the puress and best medi-
cines known. These frauds have been
practlced so extensively, that the Com
pany, finding all other means made
quate, have at last determined to try a
little cold law to put stop to them,
Suits for heavy damages have therefore
been commenced against Frederick
Stearns & Co, Detroit, Mich, who are
known as the Non-Secret Medicine
Manufacturers, for selling Iron Tonic
Bitters; against Meyer Bros. & Co., Of
st. Louis, Wholesale Druggists. for sell
ing Browns Iron Tonic, prepared by
c. j. Lincoln, Little Rock, Ark, and
against Jas. A. Dickinson, a druggist in
Baltimore for selling Iron Tonic Bitters
with his name. upon the label, which
medicine was made by Koshland, Hol-
lander & Co., of that city, and also
claimed as an imitation. We wish the
Brown Chemical Company every sue
cess il these suits, as it is high time
those who have pluck enough to carry
large enterprises such as theirs to success
should be protected from those who live
not by their own genius and effort, but
by copying and counterfeiting things
that have been made standard and val
liable by others
