He Missed His Stimulant.

Said New Haven business man last even
ing: "On my way to my office this morning
l felt miserable and when took my seat at
my desk 1 hadn't energy enough to hold a
pen. 1 had slept well and had not been out
of health in any way and could not account
for the condition in which l found myself.
After doing the little work that was impera-
lively necessary I started for walk, hoping
that exercise would help me. I dragged my
self along until had walked three miles and
then again tried to attend to business but it
was no use, and at noon I went home doubt
ing whether l should be able to come down
town again. On the dinner table I found
the cup of coffee [ had forgotten in the
morning Down il went the first thing, and
from then until now have been feeling like

The Pocahontas Story Not Il MYTH

The story of Pocahontas is absolutely true.
Nobody doubted it till 1866, when Charles
Deane started the present skepticisn on the
point. Henry Stevens believed Smith i'm
plicitly, and he is the greatest authority of
our age Before I edited Smiths works
knew of all this doubt. and went coolly and
warily into the matter, determined to find
out the truth. Bit by bit the evidence accu-
INFLATED, until the honesty of statement and
high character of the Lincolnshire captain
came out refulgently. Of Pocahontas' exis-
tence and services to the English colony no
man doubts. The question is, did she render
this peculiar service to Smith? No one was
present there but himself? Did he invent it
afterwards? Was he liar generally? Ger
tainly not In my reprint many greater hair
breadth escapes than that are recorded in his
life, and in later Indian stories captive men
have often been saved from death by Indian
squaws. Such an incident is almost COM
monplace. So, after a most rigorous test, l
was happy to believe that the Pocahontas
story is not a myth like the William Tell one,
but solid, historical fact.-Athenaum.

THE DlAL'S SHADOW.

Co. Cupid; say to her love
That roses fall and time is fleeting.
watch the dial's shadow move,
And wait-and wait-to give her greeting.
For youth is sunshine on the dial,
And love is but an old, old story;
The years may dance with lutte and VOL
The shadow moves-so ends their gloryi
Go, Cupid, beckon with your wing,
That sweetest chance may watt her hither;
For we must WOO remembering
How fast the roses fall and wither.
And oft the dial long ago,
The pavement sunk with messy edges,
Saw Youth and Love meet all aglow.
And whisper by the old yew hedges.
Go, Cupid, tell the maid prize
How many in the courtyard wandered,
What laughing lips and witching eyes,
In loves delight their beauty squandered!
The ruffs, brocade and buckled shoes,
How softly down the path they battered
With gaants gay in old world hues,
When crowns and kingdoms little mattered.
Go, Cupid, sleep; your cheek is pale;
And we can WOO among the sages;
Romance is but weary tale
Monotonous from all the ages.
My hearth She comes from yonder door;
And time and shadows fit forever;
Why, there was never youth before,
And love like ours. oh, never--never!

Harry Tucker were standing together, |
thought they we re strikingly alike, though
not much in face and feature. would like
to see them lock horns in debate. But you
and your readers may have an opportunity
before very long to see Sam Jones and
Judge for yourselves, for hespeaks serious
1y of visiting Staunton sometime during
the coming year, probably in the fall.
Among the thousands who visited Lynch
burg during the great revival and
heard the famous Sam Jones were the
following named Stauntonians MeSSrs.
Hugh NJ McIlhany, E. L. Dadmun, Jacob
Bumgardner, Harry st. e. Tucker, E. 1.
Jones, and others, all of whom were
highly entertained and impressed by the
wonderful preacher. MI. Jones heard a
good deal about Staunton and her new
Y. NJ. c. A building, and must have
gotten it somewhat on the brain as he used
Staunton in one of his illustrations while
preaching and on taking the train spoke to
some Stauntonians of meeting them some
day at their own home. None received
more attention at the hands of Lynchbur-
gers than Capt. McIlhany, who started the
Y. M. c. Association herein 1882, and who
led the movement for erecting a building.
He seems to be regarded by many as the
father of the work there and received con-
gratulations on every hand. 7. c. NJ.

Finding the Nile Sources.

1t facilitates research very greatly to learn
where not to look for anything which we
wish to find. The scientific world must be
desply indebted to the Boer of South Africa,
who demonstrates the folly of looking for the
sources of the Nile south of the equator.
"They are spending no end of money to
find out the source of the Nile, and actually
send people into Africa south Of the equator
to discover its source.
"Well, is not the world round?"
Taking an orange to illustrate the matter
and drawing q line round the center of it, the
man said:
''Here is the equator. You see where the
equator is, don't youe Well, the fools expect
to find that the Nile rises on this side of it
but how on earth can men with common
sense believe that water will run up hill
Well, these Englanders are the greatest fools
what say yous"
They all agreed with hi1n.-Youth's Com
