A nervous looking man went
into a store the other day and sal
down for half an hour or so, when
clerk asked him if she could do
anything for him. He said no, he
didn't want anything. She went
away and he sat there for half an
hour when the proprietor went 10
him and asked if he wanted 10 be
shown anything. "No," said the
nervous man, Il just want 10 sit
around. My physician has recon-
mended perfect quiet for me, and
says above all othings | should
avoid being in crowds. Noticing
that you did not advertise in the
newspapers | thought that this
would be as quiet place a.
could find, so just dropped in for
a few hours isolation.7 The mer-
chant picked up a bolt OF paper
cambria 10 brain him, but the
man went out. He SAID all he
wanted was a quiet liie.-PecEs

Irom the restoration Of The Repub-
llcan party TO power, beyond that
OF securing fair chance with all
other classes of citizens. They
cannot hope 10 have miracles

is under no obligations to make
life any easier for them than it is
for the majority OF white people.
They are not entitled TO anv more

Obliged to push themselves ahead
IN the world by their own industry
irugalily, and courageous perse-
verence; and the sooner they ac
cept this fact the better it will be
Tor them in every way.
Over twenty years have passed
since slavery was abolished, and
the freedmen have had all that
time in which to adapt themselves
to the new order of things, and TO
learn the philosophy of self.sup-
port and self defense. If thew
have not qualified themselves by
this long experience for the task OF
competing with other laborers and
gaming fair share of The rewards
which come everywhere TO honest
and determined endeavor, then
nothing that the Republican
party is permitted to 10 for them
can enable them to get along any
better. They have outlived the !
evil influences of slavery by This |

MR. AND MES. BOWSER.
BY MRS. BOwSER.

Ever since our marriage Mr..
Bowser has been looking after a
house dog, and a good share of our
troubles have arisen over this fact.
On hundred different occasions
he has raised his voice and re.
piled:
What do we want with dog q
Did you ever see a family which
amounted to shucks which didn't
keep a dog? Nature gave us the
dog TO protect us-to be a sort of a
companion. There are people
who can strike terror TO a dogs
heart by one look, but am not
one of those, Mrs. Bowser-no,

OF good" it does us, when "a score of
small annoyonces set in a tide against
us, to hear the hearty laugh Ind look
into the wholesome face OF one cheer
ful neiglibor.
A talented author once said that "a
cheerful disposition" was more essen~
tial than talent. A sweeping asser-
tion, but who admires talent in hu>
man porcupiue. Soundly sensible
people prefer less talent aud more
geniality.

hour with the statement Of his colds,
and his headaches, his losses and his
crosses, aud ends with au excrusiat-
ing report. from the dyspeptic locali-
ty is invariably Il sullen. grumbling
mfsanthrope.
Beyond doubt laughter is healthy.
Whenever we are thoroughly pleased
we are in measure nourished. Hence
the old maxim, Laugh aud grow
fat"
All really healthy people are likely
to be good-humored, people are quite
as likely to be strong in spirit.
Kind words aud SMILES and kindly
greetings, and good wishes, are seeds
that thrive and bear fruit each after
its own kind.
Cheerfulness Is like the widows
measures Of meal; the more spent the
more remains, and both the receiver
aud giver are enriched.
Jovial, sweet.tempersd, pure~hcart
ed people are charatable; they are
charitable; they are liberal; they are
not jealous. They are the sweet,
their opposites are the bitter; the two
elements, combine and make the So
cial world bitter sweet unfortun-
ately, the flavor OF the bitter is most
powerful.
The mountain is grand, majestic,
and sublime. so are great deeds and
achievements. But as there are more
bills than mountains, so are there
more little deeds than great ones in
our lives. If the hills vary our land
scape, and by culture yield us our
daily bread, then are hills better than
the snow-capped mountains.
Let our acts of sympathy and love,
our words of cheer, and smiles Of JOY,
| tighten others burdens or strengthen
faint hearts; it is better for us to lie
kind and gently considerate, than
that we hrd won n fortune.
