Regularity of Habit.

One of the most difficult of all minor
habits to acquire, says an able writer,
is that of regularity. 1t ranks with
that of order. The natural inclination
of most persons is TO defer until the
last possible moment, or to put off to
another time, where this can possibly
be done. Yet habits of regularity con-
tribute largely to the ease and comfort
of life. A person can multiply his
efficiency by it. We know persons who
have multitude of duties, and who
perform a vast deal of work daily,
who set apart certain hours for given
duties, and are there at the moment
and attend rigidly to what is in hand.
This done, and other engagements are
met, each in order, and vast deal ac-
complished, not by strained eXertion,
but by regularity. The mind can be so
trained to this that at certain hours in
the day it will turn to particular line
of duty, and at other hours to other
and different labors. The very di-
versity is restful, when attended to in
regular order. But let these run
together, and the duties mixed, and
what before was easy is now annoying
and oppressive, and the exact differ
ence between many is at this point.
There are those who confuse and rush
and attempt to do several things at
once and accomplish little, while
another will quietly proceed from one
duty to another, and easily accomplish
vast amount of work. The differ
ence is not in the capacity of the two
but in the regular methods of the one,
as compared with the irregular and
confused habits of the other.-ScientifC

A SENSATION was created in Cham
bers county, Georgia, two or three
weeks ago by the arrest of the Rev. j.
H. M. Duran, Methodist minister,
charged with passing counterfeit money.
He was lodged in Jail and his trial
came off. He admitted that he had
passed the spurious money, but proved
that he had got it out of the contribu-
ton box. There were eight silver dol
lars in the box, and seven of them were
counterfeits. He said God and the sim
ners who passed the coins were the
only ones who knew it. The case was
dismissed.

THEIR BUSINESS BooMING.-Prob-
ably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at many
drug-stores as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles
of DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption. Their trade is simply enor-
nous in this very valuable article,
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, colds,
asthma, bronchitis, Group and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured. You
can test it before buying by getting a
trial bottle free; large size, 81. Every
bottle warranted.

RINGING noises in the ears, sometimes a
roaring, buzzing sound, are caused by ca
tarrh, that exceedingly disagreeable and
very common disease. Loss of smell or
hearing also result from catarrh Hoods
Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, is a
peculiarly successful remedy for this dis
ease, which it cures by purifying the blood,
If you suffer from catarrh, try Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, the peculiar medicine.

REBECCA HARDING DAVIS writes in
the Independent: 81 heard the other
day of an old negress in Boston who
said to her children; Don't look down
on your people because you have edu-
cation. God gave you education to
lift them up. Don't spend your lives
tryin' to be mistaken for white folks.
It's your business 10 be black"

Sick Headache

is a complaint from which many suffer
and few are entirely free. Its cause
is indigestion and sluggish liver, the
cure for which is readily found in the
use Of Ayers Pills.
az have found that for sick headache,
caused by disordered condition of the
stomach Ayers Pills are the most re-
liable remedy. samuel G. Bradburn,
Worthington, Mass.
"After the use of Ayers Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
] am justified in saying that they are an
excellent cathartic and liver medicine
sustaining all the claims made for them"

g. N. w. Railway Co., Burnet, Texas.
"Ayer's Pills are the best medicine
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by dis
ordered stomach and liver. l suffered
for over three years from headache, in
digestion, and constipation. L had no
annette and was weak and nervous
most of the time. By using three boxes
of Ayers Pills, and at the same time

Lyon & Hindley.

Great are the changes which have taken place in the hardware store of Lyon X Hind ley, ss3 Main street, during the past few weeks. All the old style shelving has been removed and a new system, which entirely obyiates the use of a step ladder, substituted. This new arrangement, which is used by no other store in town, provides much more space on the floor and is carried entirely to the ceiling The lower tiers, which are used for large and heavy articles, project outward and form steps, by which upper sections may easily be reached. Each section of shelf is movable and much space is thus saved. The effect of all this can readily be seen by one entering the store; a short counter near the door has been removed entirely and the store seems much larger and plensanter, especially when lit by electricity. Everything that pertainsto hardware may be found here, but q specially is made of farming tools. Tho Deering now CT, which was so successful last year, will again be handled this year, with choice ar ray of other first class farm implements, in- clnding the celebrated Iron Age cnltiyators and horse hoes. Dog collars and chains, table, pocket and special cutlery, mathematical in struments of divers kinds, guns, rifles, shoot ers' accoutrements, bronze hardware, ma- cninists' tools, machinists' and carpenters hardware, door plates and hinges, all these and many more will you see Ii you call on Lyon < Hinalcy. And 1t will be to your ad, vantage to do so.

Botsford and vicinity is not yet wholly rid of undesirable characters, though a good step in that direction was taken when Henry K. Wilmot and Cordelia Judson were sent to jail. Itappears that the night after their arrest their house near the railroad was entered by smash ing in the door, after which the meager furniture was destroyed with axes and the windows broken out, rendering the house untenable. In their eagerness to cleanse the community of what they con- sidered undesirable neighbors, those who invaded the house laid themselves amen able to the law, for housebreaking, whether booty is secured or not, consti tutes burglary.

A BITTER LETTER FROM A Mon.
TANA REPUBLiCAN.-The democratic
victory in Montana last week has
elected a bitter letter TO President
Harrison from Mr.. Richard +. Neg
ley, an old Montana mountaiDeer and
n republican Of th.rty-three years
standing. In this letter, which was
delivered 81 the White House in per.
son Monday, Mr.. Negley says:
Permit me to inform youJ sir, that
on the 4tb Of last March Montana
was reliably republican, and would be
reliably republican still If your son
Russell had broken his neck or died
respectable natural death soon aft
er your Inauguration as President.
1t was the impertinent intermeddliDg
of your son in Montana politics that
assured the democrats control Of our
constitutional convention. 1t was
his bartering OF federal Offices in
Montana, some Of them for private
gain, others for private pique, that
will prevent the republicans sending
a member of the House of Represen-
tatives and two Senators to Washing
ton next December. Ii you had
considered the appointment of feder.
al offices in Montana as great
public trust devolved upon you by
the constitution, instead OF comforting
them upon your son as q private pers
quisite to be disposed OF az be saw
fit, republican prospects IL Montana
would not now be so gloomy.
One OF these Offices at least Jour
son disposed of for printing con.
tract. lie disposed OF offices OF i'm
portance to personal favorites who
enjoyed neither the respect nor con-
fidence Of the people. Last Novem.
Der the republicans elected deleg ate
to Congress by majority exceeding
5000. This change Of feeling is 70
be attributed TO your son in politics.
We occasionally hear news from the
East that there is some expectation OF
Russell b Harrison being chosen TO
represent Montana in the United
States Senate. If you entertain any
such idea, SIR. President, please aban
don II and save yourself from disap-
pointment. We know your son toe
we'll In Montana.

THH MisrAKas OF LIYg.- Some.
body has condensed the n's.ak az of
lie. and arrived ut the conclusion
that there are fourteen OF them.
Most people would say, il they told
the truth. that there was no limit 10
the mistakes If life. that they were
like the drops In the ocean .9 the
grains Of sand on ,be shore In num-
Der; but 1t Is we'll to DO accurate.
Here, then. are fourteen great mis-
takes. IL Is mistake to set up our
own standard OF right and wrong,
and judge people accordingly; to
measure the enjoyment Of others by
our own; TO expect uniformity or
opinion In this world; 10 look for
Judgment and experience in youth /;
to endeavor to mould all dispositions
alike; not to yield to immaterial
trifies; to look for perfection in our
own actions; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be remedied !:
not TO alleviate all that needs allevi-
alton as tar as lies in our power; not
to make allowance fog the infirmities
OF others; TO consider everything i'm.
possible that We cannot perform; to
believe only what our finite minds
can grasp; to expect to be a5ls to
understand everything. The great
est mistake is TO live for time alone.
when any moment may launch as in
to eternity.

A RIVAL TO vIRotNIA's NATURAL
BRDos.-High up In the crest OF
the mountains on the Birmingham
Sheffield and Tennessee River Rail.
road there IS to be found one of ma.
turo's wonders. 1t lie q natural bridge
az complete. az perfect, as sy mmetrio
al, and. in soma essentials, more rec
markab'e than the great natural
bridge of Virginia. The bridge lies
between the stations of Lynn and
Delmar. II is about SO miles from
Sheffield and 20 milos from Jasper.
Its length from abuim ent to abutmeut
Is It's feet. Its width is IS feet, and
the thickness ranges from 4 TO 6 feet.
II is OF pure sandstone, and has no
doubt stood the climate changes for
ages. Leaning over the bridge yeu
see in the ravine which il spans, some
IS feet below, the simmer and
sparkle Of many springs of cleuI
limpii water which bubble from the
sandstone soil, and, joining, flow
down NE ravine. A singa lar feature
is q subdivision, or smaller bridge,
constructed on the same pattern. per.
haps even more perfect in it's outlines,
which leads from one side OF the
bridge proper.-Tuscunbia AiaJam.
