dow a Wise Man Deals With the Disa-
greeable Things of Life.
An unsightly, untidy woman passes
my door each morning with swill-cart
which she pushes by hand. The odor is
abominable, and the spectacle is de-
pressing. I sit me down and reason:
She has hogs or she would not gather
swill. AS soon as the hogs are fattened
they will be killed, and the cart will pass
my door no more. The more swill the
sooner hogs, cart and woman disappear.
Therefore will buy corn and giver her
at least peck each day.
find a strange boy hanging about
my premises on several occasions. The
idea is strong in my mind that he is
watching for chance to steal my gar
feet of hose and a new reel, and the loss
would be considerable. l therefore,
reason: He has an idea that suspect
him. While he will congratulate him.
self on getting away with the old hose,
he will be too fly to return for any thing
more, and shall save all my new hose.

and secreted q piece of jewelry worth
two or three dollars. I reason: If dis
charge. her she will demand explana-
tons and affect great indignation, and
SANDER my house wherever she goes. If
l arrest her she will convince certain
people, in spite of all testimony, that
She is martyr and am a false accuser.
I will therefore leave the sum of five,
dollars where she can safely pick it up,
She will then not only go Of her own,
accord, but all the explanations will be-
on her side. She will be as well rid of
as if sent to the work-house, and she
can owe me no grudge.
My neighbor has a dog which bays the
moon. When there is no moon he BAYS
the electric light or any thing else which
won't club him. reason: He is fond
of the dog, or he wouldn't keep him.
Having that feeling, he would take it
unkindly of me to suggest the death OF
the brute. Indeed, the chances are that
he would peril his life to defend the an
imal. He is more nervous man than
I am, and the baying will annoy him
the more and wear him out the faster.
will therefore secure my cat o. nights
where the dog must see her and either

in by all the pleasure-seeking men, women
boys and girls that long for the excite
ment of music and dance, and roundabouts
and swings and mineral waters so pro-

especially on such heated and extraordi-
nary days as the great national holiday
which sets free all the working people and
their cousins.
OF course the day has it's great distrac-

great joys of the Fourth Of July. The
squares and streets become alive with
burning fire of all the colors of the rain
bow, lighted by the smoldering fuse held
by every boy and girl while, rising high
er and higher the sky rocket cleaves thedark
heavens and fills the sky with more radi-
ant and varied colored stars and comets
than can ever be seen even on a clear star
light night. The incessant rattle of mus
kerry coming from the burning, cracking
punches of exploding fire-crackers with the
heavy flash OF light sparks as the sky
rocket flies from its prison, the exquisite
pleasures of the wildly revolving spinning
wheels, and the noise as of a clap of thun-
der, which makes the boys and girls trem-

And then, how, down in the great pub
lie halls, the roofs are raised with the
shouts OF applause led and sustained by
the thunder of brass band, as some
silver-tongued orator discourses of tine
glorious deeds of the heroes that fought
for the creation of a freeman's govern
ment, and of those that shed their blood,
for it's preservation. Then as the proceed

town has joined in the uproar, and there
than was ever known before on this auspi-
cious day.
The ebullition of patriotic sentiment
that finds it's outlet in exploding torpe-
does. fire-crackers and toy pistol-sh ooting.
as associated with the incoming continu-
ance and departure of Independence Day,
was born long ago. for there has always
been something exhilirating in proclaim
ing oneself an American patriot by resort
ing to either fiery oratory or burning gun
powder.
The day is one of boisterous. noisy mer-
riment and of much gaseous carnations. 1t
is the day of the year for the young raga-
mullins, the Fourth of July orators and
the actors, either with ball or buskin. 1t
is norman STAND in this country from the
dawn that announces the approach of the
greater light until in the earth's revolu-
ton, the gray light of the dawning shall
be seen again. 1t is the Nations birth
day, and therefore the birthday of every
body within the Union, SO that an occa-
sion arises for mutual pledging of
every body's good health. Some OF
the thee thou good old leather breeched
citizens who celebrated the first anniver-
sary of this glorious day are probably
still joining in the recurring celebra ton of
their triumph each and every year, for
patriotic sentiment, love of country and
desire to celebrate it's natal day never die
a mere physical death, nor reach state
of innocuous desustude, whatever becomes
of the body. Standing and silently the
entire Nation drinks to the ever cherished,
honored memory of the patriots who, in
the agony and travail of their sous, and
with their blood, gave birth to our great
Independence Day, whether it be from out
a skull or the drinking horn of the ancient
warrior, or from the silver, gold-lined
tankar1 of to-day. For we should all re-
member the men that gave us the chance
the excuse for-and set us the example of
firing off kicking, jumping, rattling crack
ers and indulging in fireworks and gen.
eral hullabaloo!
The Fourth of July is red-letter day
for the lads and lassies. Look at them as
they are on the way and at picnics, and
about the green swards of the commons
or parks. The young man sports clean
collar and colored neck-tie, shaver face,
waxed mustache, and in his Sunday-go-
connecting clothes, he walks erect and
looks with smiling face and open, candid
eyes at the fair young lassie who dressed
in modest white calico, which sets off a
pretty figure not yet warped and disfgured
by hard labor, and wearing a natty hat
made and remade by her own nimbe fin
gers, smiles ana laughs in return. And as
they walk on and on, gay and festive on
this great holiday they are full of fun and
elastic spirits, for the oxygen of the air is
inspiring, and they laugh and chat and
joke and romp, and have a good time
generally.
But all the racing, tearing, shouting
halloaing, swinging and walking is not
confined to young couples sweeter as be-

Unlucky and disgrac ed, indeed, is the boy
who. at the end OF the bombardment OF
the day, has got off without powder

unsinged. Probably the greatest hero is
the boy who not only has, with his toy
pistol, carelessly and adroitly winged
another boy, but who, in the melee, has
also been able to do-what is by no means
a rare feat-wound himself with his own
weapon, for many grown-up man has
foolshly looked down the muzzle of a
gun, and the generous spirit of the boys
is shown by the greater number of times
in which they shoot themselves instead of

A MANS BEST FRIEND IS HIS MONEY
BY MAHLoN NJ. DE LEWIS.


AS we are hustled through this flying world
Queer things are daily occurring;
For a man is spanned by his cash in hand,
To this there is no demurring.
If he has the cash, he can cut 3 dash,
His days will be bright and sunny,
And he soon will find, if ne go inclined,
A man best friend is his money.
Though q mans tool, or q dolt or q fool,
With no more brains than q fiddle,
On his face a strain, even the mark OF Cain,
And he parts his hair in the middle,
If he has the cash, he can make mash,
The girls will all call him money;
Even he can see though Ounce he be,
A mans best friend is his money.
Woe be to the chap who my song may slap
say it without i'll feeling
Though he be well schooed, and be golden-ruled
And honest in all his dealing.
IF he has no cash, he will eat cold hash,
And meat that's tough and DOny;
He will find, alas as bis moments pass,
mans best friend is his money.
He may have a wife and his present life
Ms.y be serene and attractive,
He may work at home. or afar OF roam,
And he may be strong ana actlve;
If he has no cash, his affairs will clash,
His path will be rough ana stony.
This is just the way that it is to-day
mans best friend is his money.
If man be poor though he's good ana pure,
He will have few friends to back him,
There may hundreds stand upon either hand,
But they will turn and attack him
You NAV think write this just out OF splte
And gay it is strange, or funny; .
But the truth / tell, as know full well,
A mans best friend is his money.
