QUITE PossIBLE.-A physician had,
as presiding genius in his culinary de.
partment, a Negro woman of social
disposition, but of a somewhat irasci-
BILE temper. One night a youthful
admirer, who was accustomed to make
frequent evening calls upon the ebony
Maria in her kitchen, prolonged his
visit to a tiresome length. After Ma
ria had worn out every topic of con-
versation of which she was mistress,
she essayed to give him gentle hint
as to her mental and physical weari-
ness by prodigious yawn.
Through some miscalculation as to
the stretching capacity of her mouth,
however, she dislocated her jaw in the
process. -.
The doctor was hastily summoned
from above stairs by the distracted
youth, who stood difidently in the
background while Maria's jaw was
put into working order again.
The first use she made of her recov-
cred power of speech was to turn
wrathfully upon the trembling visitor,
and say, in a tone of withering scorn:
"P'raps de nex' time yo' goes call
in, and stays and stays till de lady
gapes and sufdocates her jaws, yell
take it fer hint dat it's bout time to
be gwine home"

EVERY HEART KNOWS ITS OWN BITTERNESS.

EVERY HEART KNOWS ITS OWN BITTERNESS.
Oh, heart, go out of your hiding place,
And wander where you will,
Through the city and through the town
Over the dale and hill
Over the sea with its thousand isles,
Over the rivers-gO
In quest of single human soul
That never hath "known woe"
You may enter the palace Of the king
The poor mans humble cot
The place where great wealth beauties,
And where it bleSses not;
But, should you travel for long, long years,
Till centuries had flown,
In search Of mortals sorrow-proof,
You'd come back, heart. alone!
Oh, hands that have too much work to
doH)
And weary of your toll,
That fain would change with idle hands,
Fair hands, "too white to soil ~
Work on for you have the promise sweet
To the faithful toilers given,
AS YOU sow good seed along the way
From earth to the gate OF heaven!
Oh, feet, that are climbing the uphill road,
Oft priced with the sharpest thornS,
Oft tempted out of the narrow way
Into the flowery lawns,
Climb on, with the aid of your trusty
staff
Up, upward toward the sun
For the goal you seek is just in sight,
And the bright crown almost won.

SAUCE FIT FOR BoTH.-A gentle
man has little boy who, on account
of his mother being an invalid, has
been under the especial care of his
nurse. During the summer, however,
his mother went away for the season,
taking the little boy and his grand
mother. Being unused to receiving
orders from his mother, he at one time
rebelled and she was obliged, to punish
him. To this he demurred, affirming
that only the nurse had a right to pun
ish him and going to his grandmother,
he complained that his mother had
struck him.
"That was right" said she, "if you
were naughty; she is your mother,
and has a right to whip you if you
don't behave we'll"
The little fellow, sobbing, asked
"Have mothers a ri. t to strike
their children?"
"Certainly," she replied.
care you her mother ?" he asked.
"To be sure I am"
"Well, then, hit her."

Immediately after the appearance of
the poem celebrating that thrilling
event. I read it through to him, and
he stood for few moments switching
his boat with a sprig of hazel-bush,
then said slowly: 'Ithink if the YER

as the steeds of night" and knew how
had to spur and whip the old crowbait
to get it to go over the road, he would
not have had the attack of hysteria of

and I came near going over his head

WATCHING THE WEEyIL.-The de-
partment of agriculture, says Wash
ington dispatch, has sent All additional
expert South to investigate the habits
of the new cotton weevil, which has
been imported into Texas from Mexico.
Etomologist E. A. Schwarz has gone
to San Antonio and other points in
Texas to make study of the habits of
this weevil. 1t is semi-tropical in
sect, and although it may thrive in
the lower corner of Texas, which is
semi-tropical in character, it is believ-
ed that not many generations can sur
vive the climate of the States north of
Texas where cotton is grown. All the
United States cotton belt, with the ex-
ception of this small region of Texas,
forming the point around Brownsville,
on the Rio Grande, belongs to what is
known as the lower austral region and
the habits ofinsects imported into that
region are bound to change from the
habits of the same insect which are
found in the semi-tropical region.
These differences caused by the change
in climate are to be the special study
of the etomologist who has gone South.
One thing so far discovered is that the
insect cannot fly so far in the climate
north of the Mexican boundary, and
left to its own exertions, it might not
be dangerous pest. The chief cause
for alarm, however, arises from the
fact that the insect is being and has
been carried north in unginned cotton,
and after reaching the cotton belt, is
able to survive the climate.

of government bonds. Each loan
stands onits own bottom. During the
war legal tender notes were accepted
in payment for bonds, but since then
all government loans have been nego-
tiated in gold or its equivalent-gold
certificates. The recent issues of bonds
were for the purpose of replenishing
the dwindling gold reserve, in order to
enable the government to maintain
the parity of the two metallic stand
ards of value. Consequently, no other
currency was receivable in payment of
the bonds. Bonds are redeemable in
coin, either gold or silver, at the op-
tion of the government.-Evening

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-Oneo OF the
regular correspondents tells the Wash
ington Post a delightful anecdote of
the reportorial days of one of the we'll
known editors of metropolitan jour
nalism.
Before the female society reporter
had usurped the social domain as com
pletely as at present, be was assigned
one night to report social event at
one of the swell houses in New York.
He stationed himself at the head of a
stairway to take the names of the ladies
as they passed him to 60 to the dress
ing-room to take off their wraps and
prepare for their appearance on the
lower floor. He had been standing
there for some time, taking notes,
when a gay young damsel, heavily
wrapped in furs, lightly tripped up
the stairway, and suddenly addressed
him.
"Ah, beg pardon sir, are you the
footman ?"
"No, madam" quickly retorted the
reporter; "are you the chambermaid ?"

CLERICAL WIT.-There dwelt among
the hills of Cooke county, Tenn, some
years since, man named Watts, a
"hardshell" preacher, who was also a
doctor. He was thus enabled to min
lister to bodily ailments while offering
the consultations of religion to the sin
sick soul. In order to renew his own
spiritual strength he sometimes found
it necessary to imbibe little spiritu-
Gus liquor, and on one occasion, having
drawn much consolation and vigor
from bottle which he carried in his
pocket, he assembled the pulpit and
held forth in his customary hardshell
style. He grew very vehement, and
in making a sweeping gesture unfortu-
nately broke his bottle, scattering the
fluid all around. Stopping short in
the midst of an eloquent passage, he
exclaimed, "There, brethren, goes
some poor woman's medicine!" and
then resumed the thread, etc.

MOTHERS BOYS,

Yes, know there are stains on my carpet,
The traces OF small muddy boots;
And see your fair tapestry glowing.
All spotless with blossoms and fruits.
And l know that my walls are disfgured
With prints of small fingers and hands,
And that your own household most truly
In immaculate purity stands.
And I know that my parlor is Uttered
With many old treasures and toys;
While your own Is in daintiest order;
Unharmed by the presence of boys.
And know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours Of the day;
While you sit in yours unmolested
And dream the soft quiet away.
Yes, know there are four little bedsides
Where must stand watchful each night
While you con 60 out in your carriage,
And shine in your dresses so bright!
Now. think I'm neat little woman;
I Like my houses orderly, too;
And I'm fond Of all dainty belongings,
Yet would not change places with you.
No! keep your fair home with It's order,
It's freedom from bother and noise;
And keep your own fanciful leisure
But leave me my four noble boys!

SOLOMON SAID

THAT "He becometh poor that
l. dealeth with a slack hand but
the hand Of the diligent maketh rich"
Now, mind, the foregoing quotation is
from the inspired word and is abso-
lutely true, and we would impress up
on the reader the fact that the author
or writer Of the Proverbs did not say
'might become poor" or that "there
isa probability of the careless business
man coming to want" but that he is
sure to come to want. Now will give
you an application of the above. Say,
for instance, you want to buy buggy
or ladies' phaeton, and dealer or
manufacturer quotes you price exact
ly the same as he sold at when cotton
was worth 10 cents a pound, and our
agent at Yorkville, Mr.. Sam NJ. Grist,
quotes you price which is about Sl5
less, for our work, and our work is
equal to the other in every particular
and is backed by an ironclad guaran-
tee. You buy the high price job
simply because you imagine it is
better, and the only thing that makes
you think so is because the price is
higher. Now, aren't you doing busi-
ness with a slack hand if you pay
more for buggy or phaeton than it is
worth when you can buy it for what it
is worth? 1t appears to us that way.
We don't claim to sell our work for
less than it is worth, but we claim that
others are charging too much, espe-
cially when the low price of cotton
and other money producing commod-
tiles are considered.

COMMON SENSE IN THE SICK ROOM.

| have waited much III tne SICK
room from my boyhood days, but
have found convenience l have never
seen used before. 1t is so handy, so
easy to get, and such comfort that
it ought to be generally known. 1t is
a bottle. With this water, and all
fluids, can be given to patient with
out the trouble and pain of raising the
head one inch. Try it and you will
never raise the head of sick person
to drink again. I wonder if people
never will learn to be quiet and
gentle in sick room. Why is it that
about 9 out of every 10 persons who
come in, 90 to patient and lay hand
on his head and feel his pulse? This
tends to keep the mind on something
that ought to be forgotten. l never
feel pulse nor test fever unless re-
quested to do so. 1t is enough for the
doctor or the nurse to do that. Some
people out of kindness and to express
sympathy, are guilty of a sort of re-
fined cruelty. They say to the sick,
90! my you look so badly" That is
the very thing of all others that no
man ought to say to sick person.
No matter how true it is, keep it to
yourself while in the sick room. Why
talk of the other sick, the dying and
the dead, in the sick room? 1t does
the sick no good-often does much
harm. Such visitors are to be dreaded.
All conversation in the sick room
should be carried on in low, gentle
tone of voice and distinct enough for
the patient to hear every syllable Of
it. Whispering excites a patient, and
puts the nervous system on a great
strain. 1t causes one to think some
thing is wrong. Discussions of any
kind, any conversation that taxes the
mind, are out of place in a room where
the sick can hear it.
The visits of some pastors are very
helpful to the sick, and the visits of
others are hurtful-they do more harm
than good. What gift it is, and an
art worth acquiring, to make helpful
visits to those who languish on beds OF
sickness. A serious air and bright
face, gentle, cheerful speech, becomes
the minister and man of God, A long
face and dolorous tone should never
be carried near the bedside of a sick
person. A few verses, and not long
lessons, should be read from the Word
of God. A preacher ought to know
how to find them in an instant. They
should be read in distinct, gentle, as
suring, or comforting tone. The COM
ments if any should be brief, suggest
i've, spiritual. The prayer should be
short, fervent-not boisterous- plead
ing, and for those things just then
most needed. 1 have known few
preachers who prayed in the sick
room, and in public, as if God were a
mile away, or asleep, or hard of hear
ing. Earnestness is best expressed in
the lower tones, this is especially true
of earnestness in prayer. Do not yell
or scream petitions in the ear of God
in the hearing of the sick. If a
preacher has good sense, judgment
and tact, a sensible doctor never OBJ
jects to his visiting patients. His Wis
its do good. They strengthen the
mind, encourage the heart, and quiet
the nerves. The sick are glad to see
such preachers come.-"Gilderoy," in
Nashville Advocate.
