| nat winch / neal Sdlllol lucl WHICH,
they are unfortunate makes no impress
ion on my mind The atmosphere gets
maarialized with an nternaliSm which
reioiCes in the overthrow OF tinancier,
and the higher he is up the greater the
happiness of some people when he comes
down. There is only one healthtul,
Christian mood in which at such times
you and ought to stand, and that is of
intense, enlarged, praytul Christian
sympathy. Put the best phase you can
on every man S misfortune. Do not call
it rascality when it may have been
only mistake. Divide up among many
the condemnation which you are tempt
ed to put upon one or two or three. By
calm faith in God help cool down this
financial hysteria. Save all indiscrimi-
nate excoriation. Remember that if a
man lose money in stocks, he deserves
just as much coincidence as if he lose
money in selling dry goods or groceries.
TO stockholders you owe, under God,
all the railroads, all the banks, all the
telegraph companies, all the steamboats,,
all the greater enterprises that have lift
ed this land to its unparalleled height of
prosperity. When war broke out and
vast sums of money were to be raised
for the equi pment Of the army, and for
the sending forth of the sanitary and the
Christian commissions on their magniti-
cent work, from what source came the
larger amount of the contributions?
From stockholders. Be careful in YOUR
anathema of Wall street to draw the line
between those in that street who are
doing as legitimate a business as any
flour or feed store in the country, and, on
the other hand, those who make it a
whirlpool for sucking down the fortunes
OF others. But what a great old world
this is! The man who depends on it
for happiness is imbecile Better trust
April skies, Or Niagara rapids, or the
March winds, than expect from this
world any settled or determined pros
perity. We hear a great deal of talk
about securities, but the only securities
worthy the name are eternal securities.
Hope thou in God. He never fails to
help those who put their trust in Him.
If could call all the thousands of Chris
tan men who had been unfortunate in
business, and should ask them when
they had the most religious peace and
the most faith in God, nine out of ten
of them would answer; "Since | lost

promised to do better than merely giving
odd names. In the same little village of
Dover, mentioned in my last, a court
was being held Judge R. c. S. Brown,
who had been elected a Circuit Judge,
and this was his first court in the county
where he had been for many years prac-
ticing lawyer; and the boys Familiarity
called him Dick Brown, Judge Brown
was bearing his newly "bIushing honors'
with great dignity, and laboring to be as
awe-inSpiring as possible. An old
client of the Judge, by the name OF
Gamer Parish, of festive proclivities.
who, by reason of age, had ceased to at
tend courts ordinarily, had gone that
day, stepped into the courtroom lntoxi-
Gated, and proceeded, in loud voice, to
inform "Dick" what fine looking ledge
he made. The sheriff called out: Isl
lence in court" old Gamer looked
sharply at him and said: II reckon
nobody wants silence wus nor | do;
silence yourself" Judge Brown ordered
the clerk to enter fine against Mr..
Parish This brought laughing retort
from ole Gamer. "Well Dick, you'll
lind the money to pay it, This reply
brought an order to put the old man in
JAIL. Next morning he was brought out.
and the lawyers, by united effort, in
duced Judge Brown to remit the fine,
which he did IN this style: II will re-
NIT the fine in view Of the explanation,
that he became intoxicated accidentally,
and was carried away with the pleasure
of seeing this court upon the bench for
the first time in this county, and that
there was no intentional contempt; but
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Parish
made fool of himself, and the court
hopes he has learned a lesson. Mr..
Clerk, let the fine be RENTED" This
brought old Gamer to his feet with this:
THANK ye, ledge, thank ye kindly for
permittin' that fine, but, putting on
confidential air, the truth is, Dick, didn't
we both make-fools Of ourselves. "

Essay on Love.



Love Is disease. Like the mumps,
it is something that everybody is GO
ing to catch sooner or later. 1t is
like the measles, the older you are
when you get it the harder it goes
with you and the longer it takes to
get over it. There is no preventive
Vaccination or il 0 ulation will not
keep it of. Carbohc acid is power
less; onions tied up in the breath and
worn in the evening have been
known to cure mild cases.
Love is commonly described as a
disease of the heart. This is true to
great extent, but not altogether
correct. The diagnosis Of love is
simple. There is generally great
deal of palpitation of the heart, and
symptoms of softening of the brain
the muscles of the face frequently
present a relaxed condition,and there
is distant. faraway look about the
countenance at times. AT other
times there isa soft, subdued look
about the eyes there is always more
or less involuntary convulsicn of the
facial muscles and the poor victim
goes around with every appearance
of having the Saint Vitus dance.
There is a general arrangement Of
the nervous system; the sufferer is
feverish and chilly by spells, and
there is always a certain amount OF
delirium; the appetite Graves some
thing sour. The constitution is ter
ribly shattered and there is strange
feeling of goneness about the whole
system.
Love attacks both sexes at all ages
but manifests its severely reversely
in each. Young girls and old mel
get it the worst. The older, the morl
PROF ounced the disease, and scientist
claim this on the ground that the!
always take the widows or old maids
If there is anything in this world cal
culated to make hoary headed wis
dom totter on her throne, it is love.
People that never caught this dis
ease always march through life il
single file and are noted principal,
for their cranky cussedness.
Cupid is said to represen love
Here is picture of small boy VIII
has a bow and arrows. He keep
his arrows in culver. He ais
t nearly always keeps his victims in
culver. This last joke. l Away

Cupid is also said to carry a bottle Q
laudanum and to have seven shoot
er in his hip pocket.
Marriage is the only sure cure fC
love.

"Justice Gritty, of London, was re-
Gently trying a case, when large
piece of plaster fell from the ceiling
upon the canopy under which he
was sitting. Fiat justitia, ruat cel-
um,' he exclaimed and went on with
the trial" The lawyers and those of
the spectators who had studied spell
ing-book Latin in their youth laugh
ed, of course, but frown overspread
the faces of the jury, and the judge
had to ask, on the sly, the clerk of
court TO write out the translation.
"Let justice be done though the
heavens should fall" and slip it into
the hand of the foreman. They re-
turned a verdict of "Guilty, but
recommended to the mercy of the
Court" -Peck's Sun.

ATHENS, (Ga.,) Banner Watchman.l
The other day Maj. Lamar Cobb
showed us an interesting reminder Of
the late war. 1t was a morocco bound
package containing fifteen leaves,
through which was run tape line,
upon each OF which was printed ev.
cry letter in the alphabet. BY sim
ply sliding this piece Of tape back or
forth, the cipher could be set on any
word and a dispatch written that on
ly those could read who were provi.
ded with similar key. AS soon as
wound the letters could easily be
thrown off; so as not to betray this
important secret to the enemy in
case of capture of an adjutant, who
were all provided with these books
Mr.. Cobb says he intends to present
this relic to some association, where
it can be preserved and kept on exhi
bition.

A woMAN's DOUBLE LIFE.
Singular and Romantic Story Of
an Ohio Belle Who Lived Many
Years as a Man.

SAN Francisco, CAL, April o.
Especial. THE application of Peter
Elehebarhe of San Jose for letters Of
administration on the estate of Char
lotte Parkhurst, In Santa Cruz c0un-
ty, has made public remarkable
story of woman's dual life. Early
in the spring of 1S4S the people of
Sandusky, o., ere sttr;led by the
discovery that Miss Charlotte Park
hurst, only daughter of Frank Park
hurst, u prominent citizen, had elop-
ed with the town postmaster during,
the night. The distracted father
searched for his Lottie for months
without success and finally concluded
she had come to an untimely death.
A few years after this the California
gold fever was at its height. Rail-
roads were unknown. Stages were
the only means at hand for transport
ing miners to different points in the
gold fields and experienced drivers
were in demand. Their perilous ex-
ploits with mustang teams were told
in cabin and by the camp fire. None
of these bold pioneer stage drivers
were oftener mentioned than was
young Charley Parkhurst. To know
One-eyed Charley, as he was called
from the fact of having lost an eye in
fight with highwaymen, was to re-
spect and admire him for quiet
coura oeous character
firing of stage driving Parkhursl
sought more congenial pursuits and
was made time station agent for the
stage company, when coaches piled
between this city and Watsonville
AT one time he was put in possession
of and held disputed tract of lane
now valued at $4,000, when the
struggle over the property was Sc
bitter that only a brave, determined
man was believed equal to the task o
: holding it.
After an eventful career in Califor
MIA, Parkhurst was found dead in be-
at jacksonville OH December 20, 1878
Then the startling fact was revealed
that Charley Parkhurst was wo
man. Subsequent investigations es
tablshed beyond doubt the identit
of the famous jehu with Chariot
Parkhurst, the clipping belle Of San
, dusky. A singular circumstance i
/, that until now, after the lapse of owe
six years, no effort has been mad
either by public officers or friends @
the woman to settle up the estate
She left no deed, and the exact valu
or description of her property seem
> yet to be shrouded in mystery.

sLeft In the Lurch.

+ The faint hopes entertained by
some of the creditors of Jake Lock-
man that he would return during the
week and make a settlement have
been dispelled, and they recognize
that Jake has gone from our gaze for
good. On complaint of Schweitzer
Bros. he was stopped at Shoshone, but
taking advantage of an offered oppor-
tunity, he got away and has gone to
Fort Fetterman. His liabilities are
about $4,000, with very little assets.
His book accounts we're on last Sun
day attached by George Metzler, who
had a little bill against Jake. He
made clean sweep of all he could,
and then levanted. AS he will hardly

name, the chance of his creditors
realizing anything is decidedly slim.
His sudden leaving has surprised
many who had the greatest confidence
in him.-Keystone.
