Upward Ewes.

Although nonsense may be common
in Understandable circles, it is never
theless, often unique. At a recent
afternoon tea I observed that one fair
maiden remained persistently seated
while the other girls walked about a
great deal and struck pretty poses
while in conversation with the gentle
men. Somebody asked why this at
tractive creature remained in her chair.
Because she doesn't feel like stand
ing" was the reply.
"Ob, then she is lame?"
"No, no. She has upward eyes"
"And what are they?"
"Why, she has discovered that her
eyes are exceedingly handsome when
wide open and looked down into, but
when the observer is on level with
them they are not half so charming.
It seems to be peculiarly of her
orbs. So she sits down all the while
when on exhibition, so that the fell
lows, when they stand before her in
conversation, must gaze down into her
face, and in so doing encounter her
eyes at their best. "-Philddelphia

How to Live HaDDily.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the following
excellent advice. There is a great
deal of human nature and good sense
in it:
Harmony in the married state is the
first thing to be arrived at. Nothing
can preserve the affections uninter-
rupted but a firm resolution never to
differ in will, and determination in
each other to consider the love of the
other of more value than any object
whatever on which the wish had
been fixed. How light, in fact, is
the sacrifice of any other when weighed
against the affections of one with whom
we are to pass our whole life. And no
opposition in a single instance will
hardly in itself produce alienation, yet
every one has his pouch into which all
these little oppositions are put, and
while that is filling, the alienation is
insensibly going on, and when filed it
is complete. 1t would puzzle either to
say why, because no one difference of
opinion has been marked enough to pro-
iduce serious effect by itself. But he
or she finds his or her affections wearied
out by constant stream of little checks
and obstacles. Other sources of dis
content, very common, indeed, are the
little cross purposes of husband and
wife in common conversation a DISPOSE
ton in either to criticise and question
whatever the other says; desire always
to demonstrate and make him feel him
self in the wrong,'especially in sympathy.
Nothing is so goading on the part of
either. Much better, therefore, if our
companion views a thing in the light
different from what we do, to leave him
in quiet possession of his view. What
is the use of rectifying him if the thing
be unimportant; and if important, let
it pass for the present, and wait for
softer moment and more conciliatory
occasion of revising the subject to-
gether. It is wonderful how many
persons are rendered unhappy by mat
tention to these rules of prudence"

SAID well-knowr engineer on the
Central road when talking with re-
porter of the Albany Union: ut is
not generally known what loss Of power
is involved in the starting and stopping
of an ordinary train of cars. There is
required about twice as much power
to stop train as to start one, the loss
of power depending upon the momen-
tum. A train going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour can, by the means of the
Westinghouse air-brake, be stopped
within 100 yards from the first applica-
ton of the brake. Now, enough power
is lost to carry this same train fifteen
miles over plane surface. First,
there is the momentum acquired by the
train flying at this remarkable rate of
speed, then the loss of steam in ap-
plying the brakes, and, lastly, but not
least, the extra amount ofcoal to compen-
safe for these losses. By computation
I have ascertained that every complete
stop involves a cost of SLIT.

Congressman HOIman's Romance,

A very interesting romance, of which
Congressman Holman is the leading
character, is going the rounds, says
the Savannah Ne,Us.
The story is that, when very young
man, Mr.. Holman loved a beautiful
girl whose father was rich. He sought
her hand in marriage, but her father
objected to him as a son-in-law. He
certainly had not much to recommend
him. He had neither wealth, good
looks, nor brilliant prospects. He had,
however, what the rich man did not
suspect-viZz 4pts and indomitable
perseverance.
disappointment in his first love af-
fair did not destroy his ambition. He
determined to achieve success in life,
and before he had got much past mid
die life he was prominent at the bar
and in politics, and had acquired 9
comfortable fortune.
A couple of years ago the widow of
union soldier applied to him for as
sistance to get pension through Con-
gress. She was the sweetheart of his
early manhood It seems that she had
married Louisville man who had not
prospered, and who had died leaving
his widow poor. Mr.. Holman is kind
hearted man, and, perhaps, something
of the old-time affection still fingered
in his heart. He gladly undertook the
task of getting the widows pension bill
passed, but it was much harder task
than he had anticipated. The tactics
which he had employed in preventing
the passage of such bills was turned
against him. Whenever he attempted
to call up the bill objections were heard
on all sides. Finally he said to his
fellow members that if they would let
his bill pass he would cease his frivo-
lous objections to their measures. The
widow got her pension and Mr.. Holman
ceased to he the great objector.
Whether or not there is to be sequel
to the romance is a matter that is known
only to Mr.. Holman and the charming
widow.

liquor business must first get 800 sig
natures to his application, and this list
must be published in the county news

proved, he pays a license fee of $3.50,

"IT," remarkable cat, died at Put
nam, Conn, last week. The animal
had seven legs and two tails. Her
strange deformity enabled her to do
many tricks: "She was able to walk
at any angle without turning, and
whenever the perpendicular walls were
near enough together she could go up
them as easily as she could walk the
floor, while it was her favorite sport to
climb tin pipe to the roof of the
house. She was placed in triangular
black walnut box, with the simple in
scription "It," and many of the villagers
attended the burial.

AS THE passenger train was speeding
along below Seville, Ga, day or two
ago, the engineer was snot little sur
prised to see beautiful herd of seven
deer run out of the swamp near by and
mount the track just ahead of him.
The engineer blew his whistle, but in
stead of leaving the track the deer
started down the track ahead of the To-
connective. The track was straight as
an arrow for ten miles, and the desire
for race with the feet-footed deni-
zens of the forest was irresistible.
For mile or more race was kept up,
during which time the locomotive
gained steadily, when suddenly the
herd darted from the track into the
woods. The last to clear the rail was
magnificent buck, and the engineer
says the pilot was within ten feet of
him when he made the leap.

cabbage and other tender plants in
about the same manner as the cutworm,

during the day, taking night to do
