not oniy are they content 70 keep
their proper distance from the
whites, and respect the color line,

All He Was Eorth.

Boston Globe,
Some few days ago a placard ap.

hardware store on n ashingt0n st.
which bore upon its snow-whi5e sur
face in black letters the legend,
"Boy Wanted" In answer to this
call for hel p a veritable street arab

to the junior member Of the firm,
said.
i came in to see about that job
well, said the proprietor, look,
ing the little ragmuffin over from
head to foot, You know we don't
pay very much here, and besides
that, il you came to work in nice
store like this, you would have to
dress better
oh, yes, l know that, respond

you pay?
Two dollars a week, returned
the proprietor.

that, said the gaInin. for can
make more every week now.
well, said the proprietor, l did
not think you could, but when ]

his head a toss and edging toward

a Temperance lecture.

You can buy good quality of
whiskey at $3.50 a gallon. If
you have found from experience, as
so many men say they have, that
you cannot get along without TAX
ing three or four drinks in a day,
buy a gallon of it and turn it over
to your wife and let her lock it in
the pantry and keep the key She
will take such a glass as you viii
find in any ordinary bar room and
with the measure you generally
get for 15-cents drink at any ordi-
nary bar, she can make that gall
Ion of whiskey yield go drinks, that
is $3.50. OF course you will pay
her every time you get drink just
the same as you would when you
drank at the bar. She will make
s4 on that gallon of whiskey.
Now, either two things will hap
pen, Either you viii feel so me;n
that you will put stop to it all
together, which viii happen 10
times out of 20, or else by the
tine you have drunk enough to
kill yourself, your wife will have
laid up a snug little sum. Then,
you die or go to an insane asylum.
as will probably happen, she will
have enough to keep her all
right.

piece of advice, where does it come

Labor Cares the Blues.


In every walk of life work is q
powerful antidote for low spirits.
The busy have no time to be sad.
The saying, Labor is prayer Is
never truer than when applied to
the grief stricken; and to shose
whose woes are more fancied than
real, but none the less productive
of discomfort on that account, toll
will afford speedier and surer re-
lief than any other remedy ever
devised by man. Try hard work
then, bodily or mental. or both, as
the best cure for a fit of the
"blues."

A Pathetic Incident.

Mrs. Merriam Grant, one of the
people wounded in the Chatsworth
disaster, was in the rear car with
her husband. In this car was a
party OF six people. In order that
they might sit together, Mr.. and
Mrs. Grant changed seats with a
young man and his bride. Their
courtesy saved their lives, for the
young couple were both killed.
Mrs. Grant thought this party were
theatrical people or concert singers,
they were so jolly and sang so well.
They conld sing, and they laughed
ard told stories and anticipated
the pleasure of the trip until late
at night. Then Mrs. Grant COM
posed herselfin her chair and COW
cred her face with her handker>
chief to go to sleep. Nearly eve,
rybody IN the cars was quiet but
the jolly party of six. About this
time the young bride was requests
ed to sing Sweet Hour of Prayer.
Something in the desire to sleep
and rest recalled the sweet old
song. The young woman sung,
and all listened while the train
speed on.
As the little CLEAN of devilish
fire appeared far down the track
their voices swelIed in;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
The speed of the train increased
down the grade. Again the song
swelled:
There let the way appear, steps
into heaven,
The way was already in sight.
All that thou sendest me, in mers
cygiven.'
And then with but a minute of
life left for each, oven when poor
Ed McClintock's hand was giving
its last desperate wrench to the
throttle of his engine the singers
sang to their God, who seemed not
to be holding them in the hollow
OF his hand;

The JOKER 0UTJ0KED,
How'They Played 1t on a Drunken Man Out
West.
St. Paul Globe.

ct. I3ul OlOOe.
A thrilling though true story re-
latin@ to a prominent merchant Of
81, Paul, but who IS now visiting
the lake, has just leaked out. The
man in question had attended a
fashionable dinner party and Lad
:mAibed rather freely Of CHAINS
payne, 50 ,Auch that Oh returning
his Office he felt an irresistible
impulse to play on somebody a
practical joke. His quick wit soon
came to his rescue, Managing to
reach his telephone he called up an
undertaken, and representing him>
self to be the coroner, ordered him
to come Immediately and remove a
dead man. He telephoned to an
tier undertaken the same MESA .er
and still another. Not satisfied
yet he called fourth-urging them
to hasten. He then threw himself
on sofa to await the fun.
He soon, however, went to sleep,
and when the undertakes came he
was doing away in a half drunken
stupor. The undertakes soon un-
derstcod the situation and whis-
pered short time among them
selves.
A few minutes after they were
seen to carry one. of the boxes into
the office, and soon returned with
it, lifting it WITH exertion into the
wagon. When the man awoke he
he found himself stark naked on a
marble slab in a dissecting room
of a prominent establishment of,
St. Paul. "Let nae see," said a
thin gaunt young fellow, who was
sharpening a scalpel, 'shall we cut
his right lung first or his left lung?"
The intoxicated man began to
doubt whether he was dead or alive.
The cold sweat began to come out
on his forehead. He found him
self unable to move muscle or ut
ter a word,
"Oh, it don't make much differ
ence," answered the person address
ed, still more CHASTITY looking
specimen, who was wiping a long
dissecting knife near the head of
the doomed man. "We can sever
the jugular first and then decide
what to do" AS he spoke he put
his cold, wet hand on the shoulder
of the man and held the knife as if
about to dissect him. The man ad,
mits that the sensation was pecul-
lar; the touch ofthe hand, however,
acted like an electric shock, and
with a piercing yell, the "dead
man" jumped several feet away
from his prosecutors and reached
the outside OF the do9r, only to
hear them rear with laughter as
they shouted him, Hold up, Jim,
it's only a practical joke you know;
better come back and get your vest
on"

Enough. it was finished. The
engines struck the frail bridge and
it sank. The car containing the
singers crashed like bolt of Jove
through the two cars in front of
it, killing and grinding as foot
kills a worm. In the same instant
another car crashed through it and
the singers were dead.

YOUNG STAINS STORY.
A Waterville Man will Corroborate
Mrs. Lamb

WATERvILLK, March I.
4 new witness, relative to Chas. f. Stains
-ojourn at Lambs in Winslow, during the
months of April, May. June, July and Au-
gust, 1877, was interviewed this forenoon
He said he worked for Mr.. Lamb that sum
mer. Chas. Stain hired ont with Lamb the
18th of April, remaining all the time until
August. IL can take my oath" he said
that he didn't leave until after the first of
August, and am quite positive it wasn't until
the middle. fix the time by the fact that
on the Sunday of his departure he hired a
team of Reed Morrill, to take Annie
Bailey to ride. Another thing that brings
zthe time of Stains departure fresh to my
mind is that Mr.. Lamb did not commence
haying until the 10Th of July Usually it
takes from four TO five weeks to finish hay
ing, and Stain did not leave until we moved
about the last of the month On the Sunday
in question we agreed to take care of the
horses together he in the forenoon and | in
the afternoon. | went to Petty's Pond and
Richardson's field and Frank was gone up the
road. When he came back he wanted to
hire a team. Mr.. Lamb asked him why he
didn't stay and take care of the horses
They had some words aud he left and hired
his team of Morrill,. As We understood he
stopped at Bailey's until IL o'clock that
night. | did not see him until the last of
December | asked him where he had been
all this time and he said I've been away /
think he said he had been in Bangor. He
came to Lambs before the 25th of Decem-
ber as ! remember that on that day Stain and
| went to Watervlle, remaining there until
O'Clock the following morning and walking
home
