from Russia to the Porte declaring that

strengthen the lettering throne of
Prince Ferdinand and his illegal rule
Furthermore. the note says, that Bull

Poor Humanity

The common lot is one of sorrow say-at
least-the pessimists, they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would otherw wise
be a bright existence, is often Swallowed by
some aillnent that ovelhangs it like pail,
obscuring Perpetually the radiance that else
would light the path. Such an ailment, and
a very common one, is nervousness, or in
other words. weakness of the nervous system,
a condition only irremediablc where INSULT
Gent or improper means are taken 10 relieve
it The concurrent experience of nervous
people who have persistently used Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is, that it conquers entirely
supersensitiyeness of the nerves, as well as
diseases-so called-which are invited and
sustained by their chronic weakness. As the
nerves gain stamina from the great tonic the
trouble disappears. Use the Bitters for ma
LARA, rheumatism, biliousness and kidney
troubles.

I'd like To live a while longer
ALthO I've been sick quite a while.
And doctor has doSed me with pellets,
That seem like a mountainous pile.
Had hackacheS, and headaches and feNerS,
And terrible cold in my head
But I'd like to live while longer,
There's such a long time 10 he dead.
Yon ask me about all the har!shipS,
That brought be an invalid here?
But ALL | won't tell-nOr the quarter;
Old fellow they might bring tear,
They found me down there by the roadside
A cash in my temple and head
But I'd like To live while longer.
There's such q long time to be dead.
I've travel'd from the East to the Westward
Without eer a dime or a cent,
And never for long have tarried
Or cared about whittier | went.
Twas only from places and troubles,
| rose III the morning and fled,
Still I'd like 10 live while longer.
There's such long while to be dead.
I've often laid down in the meadows,
And always would sleep like a log;
Had never friend or companion
But Carlo, this spotted old dog.
How often his eyes spoke their pity
And body has pillowed by head.
Still, I'd like To live while longer
There's such long while to be dead.
For many long years I'd no country,
The home wherein fortune once smiled;
The one that awcke to the morning
Both smiling Ia wife and child
Went up into fire and to ashes
When these two went at last l fed;
Oh had they lived while longer,
There's such long time to be dead.
And so having tramped through the Westward
And Carlo still following near
Hou found rs down there by theroadSide,
Then brought me and Carlo up here.
Poor Carlo? He's FOLLOWED me always
Since leaving his own puppy bed.
And we'd like to live while longer
There's an awful long time to be dead.
It may be Ill leave on the morrow,
My eyes seem as looking through fog;
Please promise to care for poor Carlo,
He's such q good, loving old dog
Just give him q crust in the day time,
Some shavings at night for his bed,
So that he may live a while longer
There's such long while to be dead.

Thrown from His Buggy.

Mr.. Fordtran, a venerable old
gentleman from Austin county, who
is the father of Mrs. NJ. A. Healy of
this city, was on his way to town
Saturday morning to meet his
daughters who had come down from
Waco to visit him, when he met with
an accident that may prove serious.
When he had reached a point in the
road about four miles from the city
and while his team was going in a
brisk canter he observed a stump
in the road and sought to avoid it.
In pulling on the reins he guided the
horses too far around and as result
the buggy was upset and the old
gentleman was thrown headforemost
over the dashboard, between the
heels of the horses. His head struck
against the tongue and severely
confused the skull. He was picked
up, put in his buggy and when
brought to the city large knots had
formed on his forehead over his
eyebrows. Medical aid was sum
moned as soon as possible and he
was relieved of his pains. 1t is
feared, however, that he may have
received internal injuries. He is
eighty-nine years of age, and at that
time of life slight accidents are more
apt to meet with serious results.
