The Prophecy of John Adams.

The approsch of another anniversary
of our national birthday finds the whole
country resembling with the note of prep,
aration for its celebration. The prophecy
Of John Adams that the day would be
ushered in by sound of cannon and ring
ing of bells and blazing of fireworks has
been realized ever since that suspicious
day when the old bell in Independence
hall first pealed in joyous tones the birth
of nation Changes incident to our
advanced age have brought change in
the modes Of celebrating this great day,
but the sarle patriotic spirit lives and
breathes in all parts Of the country and
finds its own mode Of testifying that
patriotism.-Wa ashington Star.

Sam Jones IN Texas.

The Dallas (Tex.) News tells a
good one on Rev. Sam Jones.
Brother Jones is very fond Of but
termilk, and in conversation with
reporter the other night jocular]y re
marked that he could drink more but
terrnilk than any one in town. ''And
no one." said he. "could send Inc any
thing that I would appreciate more

remark. but il seems that the breth
rem and sisters failed to see the joke,
and took it seriously. The next
morning Brother Jones had not been
ont of bed ten minutes before there
was knock at his door and the bell
boy handed him tin bucket full of
fresh buttermilk, sent by sister
who had fine Jersey COW. He ac-
cepted it, and turned the bucket up
to his parched lips and took along
swing of it.
Just then another knock sounded
on the door and the bell boy had a
pitcher of buttermilk sent by a sister
who had Holstein cow. Hump"
said Brother Jones, Il won't suffer
for buttermilk on my last day in Dal-
las" He resumed reading, and in 8
few minutes a knock came again, and
this time the boy had two half gal
Ions of buttermilk, sent by two differ
e1t sisters, and Brother Jones COM
menced to smile.
81 wonder if somebody amt put
ting up joke on me?S he remarked,
as he left the four vessel of butter
milk and went to breakfast and
picked chicken and drank cup Of
coffee. Then he hastened back to
his room. When he arrived at his
room there were no less than three
men and two boys, and each one had
buttermilk for him, and before he
could get his door unlocked two
more brethren came, bringing but
termilk.
Brother Jones commenced to grow
restless and was beginning to Won

The latest joke on public library
branch, that shall be nameless to
spare the feelings of those most con-

all with buttermilk
Brother Jones was beginning tc
look haggsrd and distressed and
when the bell boy brought up the
card of caller, he shouted, "Go
back and tell the gentleman that it
is impossible to see any one, and
that furthermore, I've got butter
milk to float Trinity river steam
boat"
Rev. Sam then picked up the News
and read his talk with the reporter
about buttermilk. That's what's
the matter" he said, throwing the
paper on the floor. 'FThat long
legged, gandsr necked, slab sided
fool Of reporter put that in the
paper and here they are sending me
enough milk to drown in"
Then another knock at the door
was answered, and a darkey entered
with a gallon pickle bottle full of
fresh buttermilk.
''Get out Of here" exclaimed
Brother Jones. Take that butter
milk back and tell them that I am
sick of buttermilk, and that I have
bathed in it, and I have got enough
to do me for ten years" Then he
made a bee line for the elevator and
barely escaped three more sisters
with pals of milk.
Next time Brother Jones works off
a joke in Dallas he will see that it is
accompanied by diagram and the
legend: "No Buttermilk Wanted"

Lorman the teacher was greatly en-
couraged and justly proud that his
pupils should do so well before the
large number Of visitors, for the ex-
animation was public. Ted wonder
cd how it was that the boys all did
such good work without the usual
"cramming' the previous day, for he
thought they had all gone on the
hshing expedition with the excep-
ton of Bill and himself. 1t was not
until few weeks later that he found
out that Bill had excused himself
from the party, giving as a reason
the little tale that had so touched
and helped him. Strangely enough,
when he had finished, every boy of the
Jolly fifteen" had decided that an
afternoon of good solid study would
not be amiss, so they quietly dispersed
to their several homes. And that
accounted for the excellent examina-
ton.
When Ted learned it was his ex-
ample which had brought this about,
he went to his room, and there on
his knees by the window where he
had that last blessed talk with his
precious mother, he thanked God
from the depths of his boyish heart
for the loved memory that had help
ed him, and which he prayed would
always help him to do his duty.

Perhaps some of our readers would like
to know in what respect Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better than any other.
We will tell you. When this Remedy is
taken as soon as q cold has been contracted,
and before it has become settled in the sys-
TEN, it will counteract the effect of the cold
and greatly lessen it's severity, and it is the
only remedy that will do this. 1t acts in
perfect harmony with nature and aids ma
ture in relieving the lungs, opening the
secretions, liquefying the mucus and caus
ing its expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs and restoring the system to q strong
and healthy condition. No other remedy in
the market possesses these remarkable prop
critics. No other will cure a cold so quick
ly. For sale by Robbins Pharmacy.

The Cape May correspondent of the
Constitution gives the following account
of a courtship which took place at that
well known resort:
"a Sunday or so ago, i'll a certain
church on the Island, a young man SAT
in a pew next to that occupied ny q
young woman for which the Y. M. had
long suffered a wild and irresponsible
admiration. 1t had been SO decreed
that they had never met, and upon THIS
occasion the young man was desperate
and determined. Ofcourse, he realized
that a church was not suitable for any
sort Of advance or declaration on the
subject, and for long time he eogltated
in silence. Then, as if by magic, the
~exigeneies of the case suggested a plan.
He politely handed his fair neignDor a
Bible open, with a pin stuck In Il iol'
lowing text: I'd Epistle of john. verse
5-''And now l beseech thee, lady, not
as though l wrote a new commandment
unto thee, but that which we mad IRON
the beginning, that we love one
another
She answered with the following:
Ruth, I'd cnapter, 10th yerse-"Ihen
she fell on her face, and bowed herself
to the ground, and said unto him, why
have / found grace in thine eyes that
thou shouldst take knowledge OF me,
seeing / am a Stranger
He returned the book pointing 10 tne
18th and part of 18th verses OF the Of
Epistle of john had many Things
to write, but 1 will not with pen ana
ink write unto thee; but l trust L snail
shortly see thee, and we shall speak
face to face" =.
And SO it happened, Coming out o.
church they stopped, spoke, chatteo
and laughed over their unique meeting.
Now the sequel. 1t is said, quite III
secret, that a wedding day IS hxed."
