Local Reciprocity.

The application of the principles of
reciprocity should be made in every
town that is ambitious Of attaining pros
perity. The mechanic or laborer who
lives in town, and who is dependent
on the people of that town or community
for employment, who spends his money
in another city has no right to complain
if his neighbor refuses to employ him,
but instead imports workman from
some other locality to build his house,
lay his wall or paint his barn, as thecase
may be.
The merchant or shopkeeper who ig-
nores his townsman in different line
of business when he wishes to make II
purchase and goes from home to trade
is not entitled to the least consideration
from the people of his town. 1t is the
duty of every person residing in COM
munity to as far as possible reciprocate
the many benefits which the community
has conferred upon him, and the indi-
vidual who fails in this regard is not en-
lowed with that public spirit which
eharacterizes good citizen.

Severed.

They were part of life's fotsam and jet.
sam, stranded by misfortune on the shore
Of charity. For so years they had drifted
together, buffeted by waves of trouble. the
children born to them wrested away one by
one. dragged down in the undertow of pow.
erty, but through all the tie of matrimony
bound them fast, and neither cared to sew
err it.
They were old; very old, feeble, battered
and inert bat the divine spark of love still
.,lowed in their failing hearts, dimly pre-.
figuring the brighter light of eternity.
Stranded on the shore of charity, and
separated by the decree of stated
Only one of these waits of fate might
hope to remain in the haven they hat!
reached together.
The man vas blind, the woman palsied;
but her hands were strong enough to wipe
the tears from his sightless eyes and to
draw him nearer the portal, her tongue
eloquent enough to say with simple pathos,
you've been a good man to me, Ned; il
there's any choice, do you take it,
And so the bond was severed.-Mary B

Lay of the Croaker.

Goin to build an elevator. hear the folks say
warn you now, stranger, 'twon't never pay,
And if you try it on I'll bet my skin
You'll sink every dollar that you put In.
Billville's superior. accordin to my tell,
And Waycross town will beat it all towel.
"Thout any talkin, you can chalk it down.
An elevator'H never pay in this here town.
There's people Twin about here who really say
A north and south railroads comm this way,
And boast about the size the towns gon to git.
LONE even claim twill make u city yit.
Eity nothin! I'll jest bet speckled COW
Twon't be this big twenty years from now.
Talk that 10 them, and they look mad ana
fTown,
But there'll be no railroad in this here town.
The people that live here? All a sorry lot.
The preachers a hypocrite, deacons sot,
The doctors all quacks, the lawyer a fool,
The teacher the biggest dolt that ever taught
SCHOOL,
Boys are all vicious and full Of dcyiltry;
Gals amt jest what they rally ought to be-
Oh, Tor meanness we've got great renown,
And it's q bad onc-this here town.
They say that factories are comm 'thout fail:
Darned sight better build q good Jail,
A poorhouse, reform school and pen:tentiary.
And let our thieyin merchants 90 in free.
So, stranger, you had better take my advice
give it to you 'thout money or 'thout price
II you want to get done and get done brown.
Just invest your money in this here town.
