Doing and not Doing.

''Sir, said lad, coming down to
one of the wharves in Boston, and ad-
dressing well-known merchant, 'have
you any berth on your ship2 | want to
earn something.
"What can you DOR asked the gen.
tlcman.
II can try my best to do whatever
I am put to do" answered the boy.
"What have you donc?'
II have sawed and split all mother $
wood for nigh on two years
"What have you not done2" asked
the gentleman, who was queer sort
Of questioner.
"Well, sir" answered the boy after
a moments pause, II have not whis-
pered in school once for whole
year.
Chats enough said the gentle
man; "you may ship aboard this ves-
sci, and [ nope to see you the master
Of her some day. A boy who can
master woodpile and bride his

doctor, what do you regard as
the surest hereditary trait-that is,
what popularity is most likely to be
inherited ?" "My observations lead
me to believe that the desire to escape
work is about the most common thing
that people inherit.
- During the past two years, Mrs. j
W. Alexander, wife of the editor Of
the Waynesboro (Miss.) Times, has, in
great many instances, relieved her
baby when in the first stages of Group,
by giving it Chambcrlain's Cough
Remedy. She looks upon this RENE
dy as household necessity and be-
lieves that no better medicine has
ever been put in bottles. There are
many thousands of mothers in this
broad land who are of the same opin-
ion. 1t is the only remedy that can
always be depended upon as pre-
ventative and cure for Group. The %
and 80 cent bottles are for sale by the
Hill Orr Drug Company.

Don't be offended. The admoni-
tion is not meant as reflection upon
your talkativeness. Talk as much as
you please: but keep your mouth shut
when you are not talking. People
who keep their mouth closed except
when they are talking, eating or drink
ing, rarely ever contract colds or
coughs. Savages, even those living
in northern latitude, seldom take
cold. Scientists say it is because they
are close mouthed.

The Boys and the Lecturer.

A temperance lecturer, when dis
cussing his favorite theme, said:
"Now, boys, when l ask you ques-
tion you must not be afraid to speak
up and answer me. When you look
around and see all these fine houses,
farms and cattle, do you ever think
who owns them all now? Your faith
ers own them, do they not?,'
eyes, SIR shouted hundred
voices.
"Wherc will your father bein twen-
ty years?"
"Dead" shouted the boys.
"And who will own the house0
then7"
Gus boys!"
"Right. Nov tell me, did you ever,
in going along the street, notice the
drunkards lounging around the public
house door, waiting for some one to
treat them?'
eyes, sir; lots Of them y
"Well, where will they be in twenty
years?"
"Dead!' exclaimed the boys.
"And who will be drunkards then?'
Gus boys!'
Everybody was thunderstruck. 1t
sounded awful. 1t was awful, but it
was probably true.

then that she has now. If my wife
offered North Carolina note at Stew
arts or any other store in the New
York shopping district, it was apt to
be looked at askance. North Caro-
lima is too far off, the salesman would
say, and they preferred not to take it.
South Carolina, although in reality
many miles further off, had better
credit. Charleston was an important
seaport and rich. A lady could give
South Carolina bill when she was
shopping and generally get it changed
without trouble. South Carolina was
not SO far of from New York in those
old days.
"Weldon was one Of the points on
that trip South that stand out clear in
the memory Of every man or woman
who ever tried to eat anything there.
Ny wife and the nurse always got q
new bssketfull Of lunch at Richmond,
on purpose to avoid having to sample
the Weldon fare. The coffee was .
nightmare, and anybody who ate 8
biscuit offered there was afflicted with
low spirits for che ensuing forty-eight
hours.
.sHrom Weldon We moved on to
Wilmington. At that point fresh
tickets were purchased, and we en-
barked by way Of steamer for Charles
ton. The little steamers that piled
up and down the coast we're seaworthy,
and moderately comfortable, but as
much like the steamers that go South
now as tin basin is like porcelain
lined tub. The meals that were to be
got aboard were delightfully."- cooked
and well served. Nobody objected to
going on them. They were far more
comfortable than any Of the trains we
had been on. What was the condition
Of the railroads then? Very poor. The
snake-head, fat rails were in use, and
there was no end to the noise and set
backs, to say nothing Of the jarring
and roughness, as compared with the
travel we are used to on the vestibuled
trains now. OF course sleepers were
unheard Of. You made yourself and
your party as comfortable as possible
at night, and stuekit out as best you
could.
"When at the end Of the four days
journey we arrived in Charleston and
went to bed in comfortable four-post-
ers, on soft mattresses and yielding
pillows, we appreciated the contrast
as no modern day traveller en- the
limited vestibuled coach is ever likely
to do. If there were few delays and
the trains, boats and buses made
prompt connections, We might make
the trip in three days and half, but
it lasted generally four days, and
sometimes, when things we're crechety,
it was even longer"
