series Of years to print store

read. Our methods. being right,
have succeeded Fresh items
and true statements have won
and held a reading constituency
the Ike OF which has never be-
fore been known.
Under the leadership thus ere
ated a larger tr1thfulaess has
come about but a mass Of mac
curacy in advertising still re
mains. which discounts the efforts
Of all sincere advertisers. Our
interests demand unccasing war
fare upon everything Of the sort
Bat we cannot fight in detail
Every instance in which compel
ing goods arc offered as bar
gains at higher prices than we
charge regular cannot be ehal-
lenged; when Satcens are stated
to be more popular this season
than eyer, which every dress
goods man knows TO be untrue;
when AIohair IS called Gloriosa,
or Cashmere Henrietta; when
staple articles, open to all the
trade, are represented as exclu-
sive simply because of Fictitious
trademark arbitrarily attached;
when such things as these are
printed we cannot pause to con
tradict each misstatement.
The fixed principles beneath
this business are our reliance.
We try to make them plain and

LEFT TO DIE ALONE.
A Country Minister'S Death Bed-Deserted
by the Last Deacon.
Fillmore N ne Critic


The parson of country church wac
lying in his bed; three months arrears Of
salary was pillowing his head; his couch
was strewn with trsdesmen's bills that
picked his sides like thorns, snd nearly all
lfe's common ills were goading him with
horns. The deacon sat beside him as the
moments licked away, and bent his head
to catch the words his pastor had TO say.
IF never shall arise from this hard
bed on which lie, if my warfare is accom-
plished and it's time for me to die, take a
message to the sexton before pass away;
tell him fires are for December and open
doors for May. Tell him, when he lays
the notices upon the pulpit's height, 10
shove them meath the cushion, far out OF
reach and sight. And when he hears the
preachers voice in whispers soft expire,
that it is time to slam the doors and rattle
at the fire And tell the other deacOns
too, all through the busy week, to hang
their boots up in the sun to hatch San
day squeak With steel shOd canes
to prod the man who comes to sleep and
snore; and use the boys who laugh in
church, to mop the vestry hOcr. There's
another, too. the woman VINO talks the
sermon through; tell her will not mind
her bunny hearing hours are few. Tell
her to haag her mouth up some Sunday
for minute, aud listen to a text, at least
without a whisper in it. And tell the
Board of Trustees not to weep with bitter
tears, for I can't be any deader now than
they have been for years. Add tell half
my congregation Pm glad salvation's fee,
for that's the only chance for them-be-
tween the desk aud me. And fare well
20 the choir-how the name my memory
racks If they could get up Their voices
az they do get up their backs-why the
stars would hear their music and the well
kin would rejoice, while the happy congre
CATION could not hear a single voice. Bat
tell them | forgive them, and oh, tell
them that I said l wanted them to sing
for me-when you're sure that am dead +"
His voice WAS faint and boarser, but it
gave laughing break, a kind Of gurg-
ling chuckle, like minister might make.
And the deacon he rose slowly, aud sternly
be looked down upon the parsons twink
ling eye with portentous frown, and be
stiflly said Good morning as he went
off in his ire, for the deacon was the leader
of that amiable choir.

how She Received His Proposal.

There is in Washington young type
writer whose good looks and charming
manners Justify the sentiments which her
employer feels towards her. He is in the
habit of debating his correspondence, while
her expert fingers transfx the words rs he
utters them. The other morning he con-
cluded to end the uncertainty which had
come into existence by asking her to mar
ry him. She was engaged on some copy
ing when be approached her and poured
out his sentiments, and notwithstanding
the warmth of the pleading kept right
ahead with the clickety, click click OF the
instrument. In fact, she paid so little at
;ention to him that he became discouraged
and left the room intending to speak to
her when her mind was free from her du-
ties. He went to his lunch, and on his re-
turn sat down to sigu a lot OF letters that
Law on his desk. There was large pile,
