A TWO-SIDED MORAL.
How a Thoughtful Man Was Prevente'
from Being Reckless.

How Thoughtful Man Was Prevented
from Being Reckless.
''It is true that much human misery
results from lack of economy" said
man whose face wore the marks of mid
night thought, ''but l once knew man
who now owes his happiness to riotous
living. The story is a sad one. There
were two brothers, John and Hank Bull
finch. They were twins. They were
graduated with credit, and with equal
showing they went out into the world.
They had no money, but they managed
to get into business. John was careful
and economical Hank was prodigal and
reckless. If John could not save one
dollar per day, he saved fifty cents. If
Hank could not spend one dollar per day
it was because he hadn't that amount.
At the end of their first two years in bus
mess the difference between the brothers
was very great. John had money; Hank
had nothing. John owned fine horse
and buggy, but Hank was compelled to
walk. He did not complain, but 1T was
with sad smile that he would step
from the middle of the road, to keep
from being run over by his brother. One
night while John was driving around
town his horse became frightened, ran
| away and smashed the buggy. just as
John was striking the ground Hank was
beating his way into minstrel show.
John was killed. Statistics proved that
he did not even kick after he struck the
face of the earth. The dead mans prop
erty was willed to a charitable instltu-
ton
'Say," some one remarked, ''ain't you
drifting from the point of the story?
''Oh, no."
But you said that you once knew
man who owned his happiness to riotous
living.
''Yes, it is a fact. You see that
Hank, had he been able to buy horse
had he saved up enough money and
bought one-would doubtless have been
killed, and, in fact, Hank was trying at
one time to buy the horse that killed
John. Hank is still living and is enjoy
ing himself, though he is afraid to save
money. l think that the careful, eco
nomical man has been praised too much
We ought to give the spendthrift
I chance"
81 think" said member of the COM
pany, ''that the moral of your story Is
destroyed by one fact"
"Whats that?"
swell, you see, if John had been
more economical he wouldn't have
/ bought the fine horse"
by George, L believe you're right
Well, sir, | thought had that thing
fixed up all right. Thought | was
going to give economy black eye l
was going to be more reckless, but
don't believe | will. Was going to
order the drinks, but you have taught
me that it is better to economize.
When the man who had told the story
got up AMI left the room, the old fellow
+ known as ''tough"-who had changed
the moral, looked at a companion and
said:
BLAMED if he didn't beat US after
all. "-Arkansaw Traveller.

Gen. Macintyre and his party went one
day to examine hole or crevice under "a
rock where it was supected python lay
hidden, and sure enough it was there.
for they could see a bit of the tail end
protruding from the hole. They let it
alone at first, thinking that. when the
sun shone, it might come forth to basiz
in its warmth. In this, however, they
were disappointed, for on the following
day the snake was not to be seen; but,
on closer examination. the tail was found
sticking out as before. Various efforts
were made to dislodge it. A fire was lit
in front and the smoke famed inward.

The earth was even scraped away and
the hole widened, when they could sess

Obituary.

Died, August 26th, 1890, at her beauti-
full home near Carmel, this county, Mrs.
Lucinda Belle Sans, wife of James G.
Sans, in the 3Sth year of her age. Mrs.
Sans was the eldest daughter of Elijah
and Amanda Lucas, of this county, and
was married to James G. Sans October
I'd, 1873. The fruit of this union was
four children, two girls and two boys.
One infant daughter passed on before to
the land of light and beauty, while three
remain to miss the care and loving at
tention of a Christian mother. Deceased
was member of the M. E. Church and
lived an humble, faithful, Christian life,
trusting her Savior fully and living in
loving submission to his wisdom and
grace. 1t is sad to be called to leave the
sunlight and companionship Of earth
when loving voices of husband and
children are calling us to stay, and
fain would keep us in their homes and
by their side. But to the Christian
mother the home beyond will brighter
glow when husband and children all
shall meet to part no more forever. The
husband and children and the aged
father and mother together with her
brothers and sisters have the sympathy
of the large circle of friends in their
sorrow and bereavement. Funeral in
the M. e. Church at Marshall by Rev.
Foster. J. w. KLIsE.

which terminated her young life. 1t
was dark hour when for the first time
the shadows OF death fell around the
dwelling of this happy and affectionate
family. Noted for the sweetness OF her
disposition, ever bright and happy, she
was like precious sunbeam scattering
rays of Joy and gladness all around her.
Called to leave this world at an age
when its promises are most fattering
and its pleasures most fascinating she
trusted herself in the hands of Him in
whom she had professed her faith. The
funeral services were conducted at
Boston by Rev. Baker, and her remains
deposited in the burying ground at that
place. Her grave was covered with fra.
grant flowers like herself, beautiful
though whitening, and silently speaking
of death. Her life was pure and her
death sweet falling "asleep in Jesus"
Cease, fond parents and children, to weep
over the separation of dear Priscilla, and

away He will call for you to go hence
and Priscilla will be "waiting and watch.
