Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe their
restoration to health, to the use of the
Great Alternative and Tonic. If you arc
troubled with any disease of Kidneys,
Liver or Stomach, of long or short stand
ing you will surely find relief by Use of
Electric Bitters. Sold at Soc and 81 per

o fold the little arms across
The pulseless heart;
Her ransomed soul has passed beyond
Earth's busy mart;
Has lifted high her wings OF trust
Beyond the sky;
Naught other with sluggish dust
We know shall lie
But that which sinks with earth away
And fades before US day by day.
AS bud from blossom, unto fruit,
Grows doubly dear,
Shall her sweet soul Of infant grace
Improve each year.
Upon the brighter side of life
Mid Gods pure air,
Surrounded by celestial joys
Her mothers care;
Thy fair, frail flower will expand,
Transplanted to q fairer land.
The light has faded from her sight
To scenes OF earth,
But dawns again in glad surprise
In happier birth,

And bend beneath the pressing dew
When day is gone;
So shall thy pure immortal flower
Bend TO Thy Life I the evening hour.
o aching, lonely heart, forget
Thy ceaseless loss;
Thy little one has never more
The stream 10 cross,
Whose restless waves are full ofpain
And woeful wall,
That roughly drives the trembling boat
In which we sail:
Her trusting heart can never fear
The wrecking perils of each year.
She knows no sorrow: that is eartn's,
And pain is death;
Her yearning spirit will be filled
With truths sweet breath.

To enter there,

With hands so fair
Unstained by one frail tho't Of sin,
All such as these shall enter in.

A Wolf Foster Mother.

NOh SshSs iWSbfNfs
A dispatch from Sandy Point, Tex,
says stories have been told from time
/ immemorial of animals sucking chill
dren and endowing them with beast
like nature through the nutriment
thus furnished. These stories have
been looked upon more or less as fan
ciful creations, but genuine instance
of such an occurrence has been re-
Gently proven in this county. Some
twenty months ago IA negro woman
living on the banks OF the Brazos
missed her three months-old baby
from the pallet where she had left it
lying during an absence of few min
utes. Search was made for the infant
but no trace of it could be discovered
and the whole affair was wrapped in
profound mystery until a few days
ago. A party of gentlemen were rid
ing through a somewhat unfrequented
portion of the thick woods that bor-
der the river, when they were startled
by seeing a strange object run across
the road. Thinking at first sight that
it was wild animal, several OF the
party were about TO fire on il, when
the one who had been the nearest to
il called to them not to shoot, but to
ride it down instead. This was done
with difficulty, for the underbrush
was thick, but at last the creature
was overtaken in dense copse. Ii
was half running, half leaping, first
on all fours and then nearly upright.
The gentlemen dismounted and at
tempted to lay hands upon it, but
chattering frightfully and savagely
biting and scratching it broke away
from them They could see that 1t
had human face, though the brown
body was covered with long, tangled
hair, and the nails of the feet and
hands so long and curved as to be
claws. 1t ran with incredible swift
ness, getting over fallen trees and
dense masses of creepers at a rate
that obliged its pursuerst TO exert them
selves to the utmost to keep 1t in view.
1t finally ran into an immense oak
tree that lay uprooted in the ground
and the hollow trunk OF which formed
a yawning cavern. By the dint OF
poking in the tree with sticks the
party succeeded in driving out an old
wolf, which Immediately took TO its
heels. 1t was not pursued, rs it was
not the object sought. This, too, was
finally dislodged and lassoed with a
lariat made of hides. 1t bit and
scratched SO fiercely that it was
thought advisable not to approach 1t,
so it was half dragged half led home
with the lariat about its neck, howl
ing and yelping like wolf. The fact
of the negro woman's child having
disappeared was well-known to all
and ii was decided that this must be
the child. The old wolf had evidently
stolen it and for some reason adopted
il as its own. The mother declared
that this conjecture was correct,
claiming that her child had malfor-
nation of one ear, which peculiar
ity was found in the monster.
1t is kept tied up in her cabin, suffer
ing no one to lay hands upon it, and is
fed on raw meat, as 1t refuses TO touch
any other food. The woman has
hopes that she may yet reawaken the
human in it. but in the meantime she
is reaping harvest from the crowds
who came daily from all parts OF the
country to inspect the strange crea-
ture.

A BAD PLAN.
AN ASKING PRICE.
a TAKING PRICE.

The plan of store keepers having an asking
price and a taking price for goods, charging
one more than another and not refusing a
reasonable offer is a bad plan for buyers.
The store keeper alone knows the lowest
never get them for less and often pay more.
This plan is justified the ground that
some people won't buy unless they get some
thing knocked of or thrown in, and some
will only buy where they can get credit,
some never pay and that must be made up by
charging more to those who do pay.
Our one price cash plan avoids all such
methods marks in plain figures the lowest
cash price on every article offered and moth
ing less can buy IT. on every article the
buyer gets the advantage of the discounts We
make in buying for cash and the expenses
and losses saved in not selling Cn credit.
The saving on these two items being satis-
