Selling the Old Homestead.
BY MISS LILLIAN HUDDLEsTUN.


Grange sights, strange sounds for these
old walls,
And the tread of strange feet through
these echoing halls;
For many strange guests today are here,
but they come at the call of the auc>
tioneer.
And not as they came in the days of old,
Thro' summers heat and the winters
cold,
1t mattered not when, for all well knew,
They were sure of welcome warm and
true.
@ the tales, could they speak, these
walls could tell,
These dear old walls they haye come TO
sell;
OF motherhood. wife hood, and mothers
hood blessed,
OF warm lips kissed and dead lips press ed
There's not a corner or sequestered spot
, OF house or of garden in yard or in lot,
Endeared by memories of past pleasures
T. and pains,
can ever forget while memory remains.
1t was here, when the evenings were cold
and long.
We would while them away with music
and song;
And the music of laughter and voices SO
gay,
Gould make chill December as pleasant
as May.
And when royal summer, all blooming
and bright,
Came filling the place with her fragrance
and light,
Lovers would stroll mid the hower>
scented air,
And dreamed that earth had not a spot
so fair.
Today the scene still is as fair as of yere,
The sward is green, and tits October
once more;
But changed for all is the place to me,
1t is ours no longer-whose will it be?

Coughing

IS Natures effort to expel foreign SUBJ
stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays
irritation, induces repose, and is tho
most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before the
public for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my expert
ence, so reliable as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral. For years was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, I was adj
vised to try Ayers Cherry Pectocal and
to lay all other remedies aside. 1 did
so, and within week was we'll of my
cold and cough. Since then / have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure"
Mrs. l.. l.. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
ga few years ago took severe cold
which affected my lungs. I had ter-
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave
me up. I tried Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved my lungs, induced sleep,
and afforded the rest necessary for tile
recovery of my strength. By the con-
tinual use of the Pectoral, permanent
cure was effected. ~ Ife-'s'se, Fairbrother.

WYTHEvILLE, Va, Oct. 22.-Colone ell
Charles I. O'Ferrall and Judge John H.
Fulton spoke here last night in the town
hall to large audience, which listened
attentively and greeted the speakers
with warm applause. A number of
representative countrymen came in
town to attend the speaking, some of
them from a considerable distance. Col.
O'Ferrall warned the democratic of the
country against overconfdence, and
urged them to actively exert themselves
to save their party and their principles.
His remarks were forcibe and at times
eloquent. Judge Fulton's address was
brief but telling.
Strange is the power of dreams. Who
has not felt, when in the morning lights
such visions melt how the yelled soul,
though struggling to be free, ruled by
that deep, unfathomed mystery, wakes,
haunted by the thoughts of good or i'll,
whose shading influence pursues us still?

THE case OF DR.. Thatcher Graves
in Colorado and that Of Carlisle Har-
ris in New York nearly resemble that
of Mrs. Maybrick la England. Mrs.
Barnaby, the alleged victim OF DR..
Graves, died from the effects Of poi
son in a drink from bottle Of WHISKY
sent to her from the East, which was
traced to DR.. Graves. But 1t appears
at the trial that the poisoned bottle
had been in possession Of two or
three different persons before it came
into the hands of the murdered
woman. In the case of Harris wife,
who died from an overdose Of NOR
phine, it was shown In evidence that
she partook habitually of that poison,
but Harris was convicted on the
ground that, he bad administered
the increased dose which proved fatal.
In the case of Mrs. Maybrick it was
shown that her husband had the
arsenic habit. Arsenic in various
forms was about the house In which
they resided. He may have taker
the poison without any conspiracy OF
/ continuance OF his wife. In each O
these cases there appears to have beer
the reasonable doubt in law which
should have prevented conviction.

His Cushion.

Among the many anecdotes OF Michael
Faraday, the great scientist, Is one
which was printed originally in the
Proceedings OF the Royal Society" IN
connection with other biographical facts
chiefly derived from that eminent man 8
correspondence and note books.
It appears that he and Sir Charles
Lyell were sent as Government COM
missioners to watch the inquest upon
those who had died by the explosion In
the Haswell colliery in 1874. Faraday
oroes- OK amined the witnessed very per-
tinently. Among other questions he
asked how the rate OF flow OF air cur
rents was measured.
An inspector, In reply, took a pinch
OF gunpowder from box, as II 1t were
snuff, and let it fall through the flame
of a candle. His companion, with q
watch, noted the time the smoke took
to travel a certain distance.
The method satisfied Faraday, but he
remarked upon the careless handling
of the powder, and asked where 1t was
kept. .o., a. ron,v
@Yes, but where do you keep the bag?'
"You are sitting on 1t, answered the
| inspector, carelessly.,
| The well-meaning people, not beinf
overstocked with chairs. had given The
commissioner their best substitute To-
a cushion. Faraday's agility In vacat
ing this seat of honor may be imagined

Get Drunk on ntushrooms.

The inhabitants of the northeast
ern part of Asia use q mushroom t
promote intoxication. 1t is known
as the fy-blown mushroom, and the
Horticultural Times says IL is also
very abundant in Scotland. Tne
fungus is gathered In the hottest part
of the year, and is then hung up by a
string in the air to dry. Some are
dry before gathered and these are
said to be far more narcotic than
those artificlally preserved. Usually
the fungus is rolled up like a bolus
and taken without chewing, for, II
masticated, 1t is said TO disorder the
stomach. One large or two small
fungi produce what is looked upon as
a pleasant state OF intoxication fol
one day. The effect is the same as
that produced on taking a quantity
of spirits or wine, except 1t Is de-
layed from one to two hours after the
bolus has been swallowed. At first
it, produces very cheerful emotions Of
the mind. 1t renders some person:
! exceedingly active, and is a stimu
liant to muscular exertiop. Thus 4
a person affected by 1t wishes to stel
over a straw or a small stick 1t i'm
pels him to take jump sufficient II
