How to Gain In Flosh.

Il Is not what one eats that makes enc fat
but the food that is properly digested and
assimilated that increases the flesh. The
food that lies and ferments in the stomach
or passes undigested into the viscera, does
the system much harm, as they say, II
makes . man thin to carry so much eRete
matter around with him. In order that
there be . full and thorough digestion and
assimilation Of food, the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys must be kept in the finest
condition. These great organs Of life fire.
Quently need tho aid Of various herbal
iuices. It is to them what Oil is to ma
chinery. 1t enables them TO do their work
with less friction. It Is this friction that
wears out mechanical machinery as well a.
the machinery OF life. Now science has dis
covered the herbs that naturally aid the
movements Of the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. They are contained In that

Do men ever fan in love with each otherl
Women do. Not long ago young woman
IN New Jersey was married to . youthful
lAborer on her fathers farm. Sometime
afterward Il was discovered that tho hus-
band was female; thoyoung wife refused,
however, though earnestly entreated by her
friends. 70 give up her chosen consort The
strangest part Of the discovery was the fact
that tho bride knew her husband was Q
woman before che was led to the altar.
II men DO not exhibit this strange infatu-
alton for one Of their own sex, they Ct least
oftentimes give evidence Of the fact that
they love ono another. There are many in
stances on record where one man has given
bis ife for another. There are many more
instances where men have given life to
another.

A FEW THOUGHTS.

lthink disposition that is happy and resieabd
kads greatly to the comfort and the health Of
human kind
think . sour temper - bosom diied with
spite
Brings trouble, and puts every sign OF happt
think no individual, however high his station,
Fer gained the praise OF worthy men by vice
and dissipation.
think no dainty dandy, ladies' favors suing
Fer added perfume to his breath BY smoking
or by chewing.
I think that wicked cunning never met with
Think il swindlers suffered more their number
would be less
think il meddling eossips would cease TO spy
and talk,
That lawyers would be fewer and courts would
have less work.
think that many doctors would better black
smiths make.
Think that clerks who gamble have more than
think man who msrries. II he gets proper
mate,
Secures fortune though the bride may own no
real estate.
think II certain folks would let some other
folks alone.
They'd ind more leisure to attend to business
of their own.
think when stingy rich men chance from fort
une's height to tumble,
And meet with little sympathy, they have no
right to grumble.
I think that many Ministers renowned for
fluent speech,
Would more consistent be II they would prsc-
tce what they preach.
I think that true religion, when the tempter
tries his art,
Throws o shield OF triple power around the
wavering heart.
think that every soul that sins win meet with
suffering,
Whether that soul belongeth to . peasant or .
king.
I think ali grades Of people, from the monarch
to the slave,
Arc fashioned from one common clay, and equal

man Of the name Of Harnden (his given
name has escaped my memory, who in
1886 instituted the business in New
York City by calling on bankers. brokers
and merchants with a carpet-bag and
soliciting the carrying OF money and
other valuable packages between that
city and Boston. Like all new under
takings, it was not long before com
petitor appeared in the person OF Alvah
Adams, who selected Philadelphia as
his objective point. and who adopted
the same tactics as Harnden. Mr.. lanes
Hoey, who is now q prominent figure in
the Adams Express Company and re-
pu,ed millionaire. was st that time .
young Irish boy employed to sweep out

side, between Wall and Pine. and to de.
liver and call for packages. which be-
came too largo for the carpe:-bag. The
business grew rapidly. the trunk took
the place of the carpet-bag. succeeded
BY iron-bonnd crates strongly padlocked,
which had to give way Ia box-cars on
truckwhcels, for the convenience OF
transfer from the New York and I'rovi-
dcnce line Of steamboats, TO the Boston
and Providence railroad. Harnden con.
tinued the Eastern route and adams the
Southern. Later on o consolidation
took place under the present title. and
Harndon's Express was merged into tho
Adams Express Company.

Mr.. EDITORIALS have been elected
Corresponding Secretary for u ALI
ance, I will let brother Alliance mel
know that we are in existence.
Our Alliance was organized in June,
1888, with IL members; we have
about 40 now. We have not done as
much for the cause as we would wish.
Our cotton crop vas almost an entire
failure last year, which was a great
hindrance to us in getting up subscrip-
tions for the business agency fund.
We are doing our best under pres.
ent circumstances, and if we are blessed
with better crops this year, l hope we
shall show our faith by our works and
subscribe literally to make up this
fund the coming fall.
We have passed resolutions to use
no more jute bagging, and hope
every brother will show himself true
to his principles.
If I could get them to subscribe Tor
your paper, and read it., [ am sure
they would make better Alliance men
Wishing your paper much success

A few days since we heard a man
abusing banks for charging Ie per
cent. interest. Yet that very man
last year bought several tons of
guano to be paid for in the fall. He
scarcely made cotton enough to paw
his guano bill, but still he does not
abuse the fertilizer frauds for charg-
ing him 100 per cent. and making him
work for them like a slave the whole
summer. What a curious thing a
man is.

glisten in the ray of the good time

There's a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
The pen shall supercede the sword,
And right, not might, shall be the lord,
In the good time coming.
Worth, not birth, shall rule mankind,
And be acknowledged stronger
The proper impulse has been given.
Wait a little longer.
There's a coed time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
The people shall be temperate,
And shall love instead OF hate,
In the good time coming.
They shall use, and not louise,
And make all virtue stronger;
The reformation has begun,
Wait a little longer"
When all honest men can join con
cert and proclaim "peace on earth,
good will toward men," the Alliance
car and will do something. The ALI
ance is founded upon principles as
firm Al the crock of ages" and she
has united with that ~ponderous wheel
of the North, and found the old Ship
of Zion; she is launched out upon the
retiring waves of the 10Th century;
thousands are already on board shout
ing hallelujah! h~allelujah! and there's
room for many more, and before the
fresh waves of the goth century brake
in upon this republic, she will be
anchored, and the trusts, combines
and m%onopolies of earth will fall down
