A :" Put and Call.

This is a funny phrase to the unini- tiated, but all the brokers understand it. They use it when person gives 8 certain per cent. for the option of buying or selling stock on a fixed day, at price stated on the day the option is given. It is often serious operation to the dealer, but there is a more serious "put and call" than this when you are ''put" to bed with a se- were cold and your friends "call" 8 physician. Avoid all this by keeping in the house Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. The great cure for pulmonary and bI pod diseases Its &C., tion is marvellous. It cures the worst cough, whether ~acute, lingering, or chronic. For Weak Lungs. Splitting of Blood, Short Breath, Consumption, Night-sweats and kindred affections, 1t surpasses aii other medicines.

a new candidate for recognition in the literary world.
 Shortly afterward, through some influence unknown to himself, he be- gan the study of law in New York city. It proved too monotonous for him. He saw that Chitty and Black stone were too stale and hard reading for him. He soon threw them into the corner. This was about the time of the political disturbance in Paris in the summer of 1S4S. On his pre- vious trip he had made the French capital study, and the temptation to be near the scene of conflict was too much for him and he hastened thither. As result, he wrote the Battle Sum mer," which proved valuable addi- tion to our literature. It was intend- ed to be after the style of Carlyle. Such & model, with his ponderous sen tences and queer diction, was the worst possible one for Mitchell to imi- tate. His English was too pure and simple and his thought too mild and buoyant to adopt the wonderful style of the great English cynic. It is a sorry spectacle for him to philoso- phize over dying soldier in language which makes "Sartor Resartusr one of the most peculiar works in literature. The next year he issued "The Lorgn- ette," series of mildly humorous pa- pers on the different conventionalities of city life. Here he used the fascin- ating ways of his warm friend, Wash ington Irving, which exactly suited his thought, and which have made him famous Irving and Mitchell are kindred minds; they see life in like aspect. The two were personal friends, very congenial, as their works show. Everyday matters meant more to them than philosophic theories and wild speculations. Herein lies their im- mense popularity.
 In 1850 he published "Reveries of a Bachelor" his most popular work. During 1853 he served as consul gen. eral at Venice. While there, he col lected material for history of the re- public, which was never published. This is undoubtedly fortunate, as Ital- ian ground is too full of dark and bloody history for the author of a revery to touch. He does not point out the gloomy for itself alone, but to make the pleasant more noticeable by contrast. He could not have philoso- phized over the thousand Italian trag- edies and present them in happy light. They have no pleasant side to them. Still this study made an inn press upon his thought, noticeable in his more recent works.
 "Edgewood," his present home, was purchased in 1855. It was then noth- ing but a mansion on barren hill, but now a spot loved by all devotees of American literature. The neigh boring places are commonplace, but his is of peculiar value. Mir. Mitchell says he has model home and is greatly attached to it. It is histor- ical spot and will be occupied by him during life. But his literary career is about ended, while he enjoys the pleasure of seeing himself appreciated "a thing seldom happening to liter ary men. He mingles in society very sparingly, and the grocery loafers complain that he is not interested in their petty elections or village squa- bles. Study is bis recreation. Thus is going out life that has done much to give cur country a standing i'll the literature of the world.

 NATURE.
BY WILLIAM HosKA BALLou.

1 know 6 grove hero rob,ns sing, And blue. birds whistle all the spring, And crickets chirp,
 And violets peep
 Through fallen leaves
 In their last sleep; A grove of pines, of birch and beach, A poly colored, arch-leaved reach, All full with song
 And scent and bloom Life of today
 On past life's tomb; grove where merry children play, And school girls dance along their way, Where all is joy
 And laughter bright
 Morn of to-day,
 Tomorrow, night. aoi Laugh therein, laugh while you may There stands the grove all green and gay Your laughter, song,
 Its hues and bloom
 Some other age

A Miner Who Made Twelve Millions

tiarpcr's for September.
 Marysville, nearly thirty miles from Helena, Montana, Is a second Wickes in appearance, but when one rcmem- bcrs the wealth of the mines which have created the town. he forgets the ugliness of the streets, and ceases to notice the dilapidation of the rudely built cabins. Marysville is chiefly famous as the site of the Drum Lum- mon, but does not depend on tho mine alone for support. The town is the chief seat of an extremely rich district, already well developed, and is an im- portant suburb of Helena. IL K con nected by rail with the latter city, and will eventually Ike the terminus of q branch of the Manitoba road.
 The discoverer of the Drum Lum- mon was Mir. Thomas Cruse. In the days before he sold his property and returned to Helena much honored millionaire, Mir. Cruse was locally known as "old Tommy" and was looked upon as a somewhat visionary nian. None questioned after time that his mine, where he lived and la- bored alone, was valuable, but few placed it's worth as high as did the patient owner. When he refused half million for his mine, the people of Helena called him foolish, and when he turned away from the offer of million, they called him a fool. But the miner was wiser than his friends, and eventually received his price, sIi,- 500, 900, and goodly number of shares in the new company. Then, as 50 often Is the case, the old familiarity was dropped, and the Tommy of by-gone days became Mr. Thomas Cruse, capitalist" A kind, thor oughiy honest man, of whom all who know him are ready to gay a good word, he is . familiar figure on the streets of Helena, and to-day is presi- dent of savings bank in the city where few yeaFs ago he wae not sure of getting trusted for enough to keep himself alive. As an ilIustration of the ups and downs of miners life he is . notable example.
