homestead; to merry rambles over
green meadows and tufted pastures,
through shady groves: to your favor
tic seat on some messy bank that
was kept green by little brook bab-
bled by I; to the swing under the
great maple that used to stand in the
yard; and by-and by you go quietly

square case just large enough to bold
a treasure, open it and gaze thought.

something rising from the heart, and
a pearly rear steals slyly down your
cheek. No one saw it; you. saw NO
one; yet you felt that you had met =
loved one; saw smile upon the lip
that had often returned your caress-
es. You put away the picture and

better for having tb us seen and felt
Some of the joys of the.past.

Last week man stepped up tous
and said he would pay las every cent
he owed US if he lived till Saturday
night. We presume the .nan died.
Another man said he would pay US in

borr Query: Did the man lie or
were we never born? Another said
he would settle as sure as shooting. :
We presume that shooting is very
uncertain. Another man said he
hoped to 90 to the deyif'if he did not
pay us within three days. Haven't
seen him since: suppose 'ili;It he has
gone, but trust that b.; did not hope
IN vain, Quite nuinber;ssaid they
would see us tomorrow. They must

man would not lie, of course he has /,

After all there is good deal in talk.
Let man talk dull times and it is
infectious, everybody talks dull
times. Instead Of rustling around
to take care of what business there
is, they all go sit down and NOPE
over dull times. If a'cistomer does
happon to drop into s6nie of these
dull times . stores lie actually gets
frightened out of one-iialf as much
as he expects TO buy. because things
look SO blue. He catches the spirit
of the store and resolves. to hang ON
to all his money with Il death grip.
even if his business goes 10 pieces
ia account of running short OF goods
to fill up the empty shelves. The
bug bea. OF hard times should be sat ]

business than anything else. Tell 5
man he is sick, keep it up and you
will eventually hound him TO death.
