Robe left at this office knot which was
taken from standing balm tree, seven

A STREET FfaHr.--A very lively fight
occurred last evening before dark, on
First street near Lyon. The parties faced
each other, and without many prelimi-
nariea began striking from the shoulders.
For a moment it was fierce and the blood
flowed freely. Friends interfered and
peace was restored, but the bad blood
engendered undoubtedly continues. The
contestants were two boys six or seven
years of age.

Holy Spirit, and the privileges and pos

faith receive the Spirit and rest upon the

A Bed on the TyrOI.

Could have bed? The hostess stared
at me. 1 could sit by the fire, she said, or
perhaps lie down on kind of settle, Gov
cred with harsh American cloth and not
Overcloan, which she pointed out in the
shades of the farther end. "Have you no
guest chamber" asked. And after much
consideration and word with her hus-
band she lighted a candle and led me care
fully through an anteroom, piled up with
thrashed out maize stalks, TO door, which
she unlocked, and so into o room where
tho heavy ears of Indian corn were laid in
rows along the floor while onions and ap-
pies were heaped in the corners and bunch
es of small rcd and yellow tomatoes hung
from the rafters.
There was II bedstead behind the door,
and chair, only one, stood by its side.
The bed had not been used for years, she
confessed, not since the opening of the
railway. But she had sheets-clean sheets
at my service, adding doubtfully that
perhaps If she put pan of hot Goals be-
tween the feather bed and the mattress it
might not be so very damp after all by the
time had eaten my supper. CoffeeY No,
that was impossible, but glass of real
red Tirolor wine was at my command, as
well as a share Of the smoking dish of po-
lenta which stood on the table of the COM
mon room, thanked by a large loaf of black
bread. l took my seat with the rest, and
when l had finished she led me again to
my chamber, charging me to be very care
full lest sparks from my candle fell among

ton so dangerous, and so likely to go on
to something worse. Every day it is
clearly shown that it won't do to live
tired out, and on the verge of breaking
down. The languOr and the lack OF
strength are sure to increase.
Now is the time to throw off disease.
As the new year begins there are fewest
hindrauces to getting back strength and
sturdy health. The bracihg weather
aruuses a longing for health. Paine's
celery compound. taken now, does its
best service toward driving out disease
and establishing firm health.
