Catarrh Remedy. With the poison

St. Louis sends out every year

as the quirt. No one but COW

any use for such an article, but away

it answers the purpose both of whip

Missouri holds practical monopoly in
the manufacture Of this curiously
named article, st. Louis making the
most and others coming out Of the
state penitentiary at jefferson City. AT
least three hundred and fifty thousand
leather whips are made in ST. Louis or
near to II, and IL is often asked where
they all 60 TO. AS matter Of fact, this
city stands almost alone in this manu-
facture, for while light buggy whips are
made in various places, leather whips
are not made in large numbers outside Of
Missouri, although there are factories
in New York, Philadelphia and West
Virginia. Cne reason why st. Louis
holds the fort is that this is one of the
cheapest hide maricis in the world,

the plan here is to buy green hides and

snapped, "for he disappeared several
months before his father"

"Neverl II was supposed that he was

NM HOME.


'Tis not a mansion largo and fair,
With terraced grounds and marble stair;
No velvet carpet on the floor;
No silver plate adorns the door;
But fair to me where'er roam
Is that beloved place. my home.
An humble cottage midst the trees,
Whose branches famed by ev'ry breeze,
Make music far sweeter TO me,
More soothing than arts minstrelsy.
Oh, dear to me, where'er roam
That cottage is, for It's my home.
When wearied with the tolls Of life,
When grieved and fretted by its strife,
When the worlds hustle and its din
With all its force would draw me in,
How sweet, how restful then, to roam
Back to that lowly cottage home.
But then no earthly home can be
A home oternally for me.
SO faith looks out beyond this life,
So fraught with change, with partings rife,
To Heaven, where many mansions be,
There is a ehangeless homo for me.
