Tobacco Stems as Fertilizers.

Tobacco stems supply both nitrogen

Speak kindly.

Speak kindly in the morning, it
lightens the cares of the day, and
makes household and all other affairs
move along smoothly.
Speak kindly at night. For it may
be that before the dawn some loved
one may finish his or her space of life
for this world, and it will be too late
to ask forgiveness.
Speak kindly at all times, it encour-
ages the downcast, cheers the sorrow
ing, and very likely awakens the erring
to earnest resolves to do better. with
strength to keep them.
Kind words are balm to the soul.
They oil the entire machinery Of life,
and keep it in good running order

Lost a Valuable Horse,

j. S. Poythress had the misfortune
to lose valuable horse one day last
week under rather remarkable circum-
stances. While the animal was graz
ing i'll the clover lot Oil his farm near
town it was choked to death or hung
without being strung up. One end of
a pillow line was made into halter and
put over the horses head aud to the
other a heavy rock was fastened. BY
some means the halter slipped down
over the horses nose and the more he
pulled against the rope the tighter it
got until his wind was shut off so COM
pletely he could not breathe. Persons
near by saw from the animals actions
that something was the matter but sup
posing he was sick did not 60 to his as
sstance but sent for the man who had
tied the horse and left him (he happen
ing to be blowing not far away.) When
he got there the horse was dead.
Mr.. POythress saw the animal shortly
afterward and said there could be no
doubt as to the manner and method of
the horses death. He says he would
not have taken 500 for the animal that
morning.
1t is a fortunate day for a man when he
first discovers the value of Ayers SarSa-
parilla as blood purifier. With this
medicine, he knows he has found a remedy
upon which he may rely, and that his life
long malady is at last conquered Has
cured others, will cure you.

A man once had number of cows
he wished to sell. A notice in a paper
or bills would have cost him two or
three dollars; he thought it too much,
and to practice what he considered
economy, he wrote few notices which
few saw or read. Not long after his
sale he was asked why he did not adj
vertise it, and he learned that he lost
on the price of two COWS more than
three times the amount the published
notices would have cost.-Erchange.

The Chronic Kicker.

Dost love a man who always kicks,
no matter what you do-who kicks,
with most prodigious ease the whole
long season through; who kicks if any
thing goes wrong and kicks if all goes
right: who kicks because he likes to
kick, and kicks with all his might: We
know some awful kickers on this wicked
mundane sphere, who came on earth
by accident and kick because they're
here; they make themselves uncom-
Portable and other people sick; they
drive themselves to suicide, and still
they always kick. We know a man
who kicks and kicks the blessed live
long day, and if there's naught to kick
about he's kicking anyway. At times
when things are going right and other
men would smile. he kicks on general
principles. and kIcketh all the while
