Running the Clock Backward.

This apparently impossible feat is
easy to the matchmaker, but more
wonderful is the necromancy which
makes the old young again. Yet that
il very much the effect DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has on multitudes
of prematurely worn-out, broken-down
women, who seek in it relief from the
manifold woes of their sex. Backache,
dragging pains, displacements, nausea,
functional arrangements and irregular
itics disappear before its use as by
magic.
For nursing mothers and all debili-
tated and rundown women, it is the
most effective restorative tonic and
soothing nervine. Dispels melancholy
and produces refreshing sloop. To
those about to become mothers it is q
priceless boon. 1t lessons the pains
and perils of childbirth, shortens labor

of nourishment for the child and skor

H0v h. Won the Girl.

The young cavalier had failed to pop
the question, and the young lady left
the house in dudgeOn, telling their
mutual host that her mother had no
use for such a chicken-hearted son-in-
law, SAYS the New York Herald.
y little later the host repeated this
to the youth, who really loved the gi ri,
and had merely delayed proposing un-
til he could do so at her own home.
His horse stood near the door, and he
sprang into the saddle and galioped
after the train. which had left a quart
er OF an hour before. Owing TO benign
providence and the management Of
this country railroad, he caught the
train before it reached the next station,
which was kraOw. He spied the
young lady at the window Of a first
class compartment, and, riding up 10
the train before it came to full stop, al
most shouting breathlessly: "My dear
-, ask for your hand. Yes, or no.

that Squire Mitchell was her first

however, called in the afternoon.
Sometimes Squire McClane indgigcd

as well as incbriates, and not long az
ter the dinner spoken of, Granny
Kinnear went To Squire McClane's
house; the old man was lying on a

Squire, feeling pretty good, commenc-

On another occasion the old lady was

az want a kiss, | want a kissw The
first thing he knew the old lady caught
him around the neck, and gave him .

The old Squire did not ask FOR any

large, iine-loOking, well-dressed young
man came to this part Of the country
on stage, accompanied by q beautiful
young woman, refned-lOoking, aud
dressed in the height Of fashion, for
that day. They seemed to be very
much devoted 20 each other, and were
apparently well supplied with money,
and wearing apparel. After staying
while at a tavern, they rented a small
house, a mile or two east Of SOmeriield,
and commenced housekeeping. They
led a retired, uneventful life for some
time, attending strictly to their own
affairs, making no special effort to get
acquainted with their neighbors,
neither did they decline 10 see callers,
of whom they hai a good many, for
the curiosity of the community was
excited; after living in this way quite
Il while, one day the young woman was
picking chips in the yard, when a
stage came along, and a passenger,
stopping it, hastily aiighted and going
to the woman, spoke to her; after a
somewhat animated conversation, the
man got into the stage and went to
Somerfield, where he stopped. Next
morning lie came back To the house,
but man and woman were both gone,
and nothing was ever known concern
ing them, only that they, both being
married, had loved each other well
enough bat not wisely, and had left
their families for an Illicit love. They
had given fictitious names, and the
man on the stage was the woman

heard OF them, they doabtless went

DON'T LEAN OUT OF PLUMB.

Did you ever observe in your rambles about
The political scenes OF the day,
How often reformcrs engender doubt
BY their overpunctilious way,
Their censorship always reminds me OF those
Who beneath my inspection have come,
Attempting TO strike a magnificent pose,
Have o'erdone II To lean out OF plumb.
They lean far back, and In fact become bent,
Most foolish the posture they take;
And instead OF expressing their upright intent
They lead you to fear they may break.
They wish you to feel that they're honest and
And not at all crooked or dumb
Yet there they stand with their eyes 10 the
skies
And uncousciously lean out Of plumb;
In trade or religion, in politics, too,
flour rectitude We would disclose,
stand modesily forth to the popular view
And don't try 10 strut or to pose.
Fo- ofttimes our cagerness may be too great,
At least il has happened To some,
And our efforts to tower in matters of state
Dwarf all chances as we lean out of plumb

Pleasure.

There are few things which have
been more differently estimated than
the value of pleasure and the right We
have to seek for il. Some have held
that it was the only good in life, and
that to aim for and obtain it was the
one pursuit worth following
Others have stOlt!y maintained that
il was rot merely worthless, but cor
rupting, and that no folly Is so foolish,
no sin 50 sinful, as to seek for it, Of
course experience and intelligence have
toned down both these extremes !;
yet even now there are remnants OF each
left in certain minds.
The avowed p'easure-seeker is not ex-
tinet, and, ON the other hand, vagne
idea yet fingers that in some way pleas
uFe itself, and, still more, the search
for it, are inconsistent with "A good
and noble life.
Still the world is slowly realizing
that pleasure in it, true sense is an ele-
ment of life neither to be very greatly
cherished not yet TO DC ignored. IL is
a needed stimulus in every life. The
pleasureIess man IS seldom an admirable
or useful one, while il is equally true
that he who is given over to pleasure
can never be either one or the other.

The Way to Drink Milk.

Many complain that they cannot
drink milk without its disagreeing with
them. The most common reason why
milk is not readily digested is that it
is taken too rapidly and it enters the
stomach and becomes one solid mass
difficult of digestion. If it is slipped it
is so divided on reaching the stomach
that when coagulated, as it must be by
the gastric juice while digestion is go,
ing on, instead of being in one hard
mass it is more in the form of a sponge
and in and out of the entire bulk the
gastric juice can perform its duties.
