WHAT I BOUGHT.
BY AUST IHEAXDY.
Well, so I did promise, the next time
yon come, to tell yon what I bought with that 'ere money I got fur teachin' school, an' I guess as how, I mout jest as well do it now as eny bther time. So ef won o' yon three girhvll just rnn an' feteh that pan o apples what I'm goin' to peel far toss, an' wun o' the tutbers'Il bring that split-bottomed cheer , No, no otheT cheer won't do so walL Ef it wonld I wouldn't a bin so perticlar in savin' that split-bottomed cheer.
I fc?n set easier, an' feel more to home
in that cheer nor any about the house.
A rockin' cheer indeed! why the veTV s-eht o' them makes me feel down-
rwht lazv. As I wus &-sayin' take that
snlit-bottomed cheer out onter the back

dSne-ltnife. its the wun I oilers use far

fnrummmm . like.
I don't know, how on airth I ever
managed to keep house without that'er
knife. I did. though, for quite a wmie.
It cost only two bits, in the fnat place, an' it'a bin worth a dozen times that to
me sense.

Well, as I Bed afore, we bought nnthin', as wus o' no nse t nobody them times. Mother had a loom onto which she played compliments, or what yon call 'em, to the mnsio o' my wheel. It meant more nor music to us ; i nr that .wns how we got our clothes. Father no more thought o' buyin' lis eay thing to wear, nor ef we didn't belong to him. We spun an' wore our every-day wear,
an motner wove enun mr iub uejbora to git money to buy what little ex
tras we wanted, which wns very tew,
the vanities o life took tip a very
small Dortion o' onr time or money.
Mother's loom wus a clumsy out
thing. So old that even mother, her
self, didn't know nnthin' a-tall abont
when it wns made. There wns a new kind as wasn't half so hard to work, an' mother thought ef she only bed wun o them, her work wouldn't be half bo
hard. An' my wheel wus jest about
wore out Mother had spun on it, an
her mother before her. bo you may well guess it wns nigh onto wore out. Well, when I found out 1 was to hev all that'er money f nr myself, I sez to mother, "let's yon an' me go to town, an' spend that money." "What on airth will we git with so much money !" sez she. Ton see there was $C0 'o it "Yon jest come along, an'von'llsee."sezX So we went. An'
what do yon think we bought?

PltOZUEXTIALLY PROVIDED. Dr. Lyman Beecher was sometimes
absent-minded and forgetful, as men
who think very earnestly are apt to be. Lane Seminary was then poor and
found difficulty in adequately support
ing its faculty, so that Mrs. JBeecher
was often sadly straightened pecuniarily. At one time when she received a sum of money it was the occasion of
great rejoicing that it .would enable
them to pay a Bill for a carpet wmon
had been too long standing. So alio
committed the money to her husband, charging him to attend to the payment
immediately. In the evening the doc-
tor returned from the city in nign
spirits and described the missionary
meeting he had attended, in which was
much enthusiasm, very eloquently re
porting the addresses which had been made.
"Doctor," interrupted Mrs. Beeeher, did you go and pay for that carpet to-
.... . .
Carpet! what carpet t" responded
the doctor.
"Why, the one I gave you the money
to pay for this morning."
"There!" said the doctor, feeling fie-
blyhuhia vest pocket; "that accounts
for it At the missionary meeting they took up a contribution. When they
came to me I said I had no money to give them wished I had at the same time feeling in my pocket, where, to my surprise, I found a roll of bills; so I pulled it out and put it in the box,
wondering where it had come from, but thinking the Lord had somehow pro
vided." Boston Traveler.
If EG HO JUD AFRICAN.
It is a common mistake, says the Atlanta Constitution, to regard the term negro as synonymous with African.
The word negro does not denote a na
tion, but an ideal type constituted by
the assemblage of certain physical
characteristics exemplified in the natives of certain portions of Africa and their descendants in America and the
West Indies. In Africa the area occu
pied by the genuine negro, men with
black skin, thick lip, depressed nose, and woolly hair is exceedingly small compared with the remainder of the continent As a rule the prevalent color in Africa is that of the Arab, the Indian, and the Australian. The true negro districts are the Senegal, the Gambia, the Niger, and the intermediate rivers of the coast, parts of Sudania. Sennaar, Eardofan, and Darfur.
People who are certainly not negroes
inhabit the whole coast of the Mediterranean, the desert, the Kafir, and Hot
tentot areas south of the line, Abyssinia, and the middle and lower Nile.
This does not leave much territory for
the typical negro. It is generally ad
mitted that the negro intellect is inferior not only to the Europeans, bnt to that of the lighter-hnad African
tribes, but it ia superior to that of the Australians, Bushmen, and Esquimaux. That the active influences of freedom
and civilization will materially advance the status of this peculiar race is a hope indulged in by philanthropists and
statesmen. Time is the very essence of
this great problem.
A VHEADFUV CHILD.
In a Houston family, which was
rather in poor circumstances, the arri
val of a wealthy aunt was expected.
The aforesaid auni, by some accident
or other, had lost a portion of her nose.
The children were reminded frequently
not to make any reference whatever to the defective nasal organ. The wealthy aunt arrived, but she had scarcely taken
off her bonnet when the littlest kid in
the flock, exclaimed:

thing about aunt's nose Why she haunt not anv nose at all." lexeui

brother. Our parent were old and could not bear the idea of onr being separated. But the love of onr country conquered ; and on the next Sunday morning wo brothers assembled at the barn to hold a council of war, and it was decided that John tmy twin brother) should go. The separation seemed almost death to me. The regiment was ordered into Kentucky, Jannary 22. 1863. Soon after I received a letter from John, saying that he was sick, and would like to havo me come and seo him. As soon as possible I
went to him, and found him at Eliza- j bethtown in the hospital. At the time of his enlistment he was 18 years old, and very fleshy. I found him a mora shadow of his former self. I immediately applied for lim a furlough. But, alas, the Captain said it was im-possil-la. I knew he would die if I left
him, so I then proposed to uaptain K;igol and Lieutenant McConnel that I should take his place in the regiment, and he return home for awhile. To this they consented, providing I would not tell the regimental officers. The following night I left the hospital and went down to camp. The boys ap
peared to think hospital life agreed with me, thinking I was John. John
left for home immediately, and I en
tered upon camp life.
"When it was discovered that John had left the hospital, the doctor was in
great trouble, and was going to raise a
terrible racket because of his leaving
without permission, but the Captain told him to keep quiet, that John Walker was in camp and on duty, so that settled it They put me on guard that morning and gave me a gun and told me to got ready for guard mount When the drum beat and the guards fell in I was so scared 1 didn't know what I was doing. I got into the rear rank and got one of the boys to help
ma It seemed to me that they were j all looking at me and knew of the
change. When the Adjutant gave the command to "shoulder arms," I kept the butt of my gun on the ground, and the Adjutant called for "that man to get his gun to his shoulder." I turned and twisted and came near fainting. Some one of my comrades came up behind mo and helped me to get it placed in the right position. Away we went down the railroad to guard the bridge. When we arrived the Corporal told me that my timo for being on guard would not come until 12 o'clock, and that I might go back
to camp. I did not know it was against
orders for men on guard to lay off tlu-ir
equipments, so I off with all of mine and piled them np with my gun and
made for camp. In half an hour the
Colonel came down to water his horse in
the creek, and saw my equipments, and
asked the Corporal who they belonged
to. He replied, to one of Company K's men, and he was told to go and bring
the man to his headquarters. The Cor
poral came and delivered his message to me. I told him I knew nothing
about the laws. He told mo to go to my post and he would go to the
Colonel. The Colonel reduced him to the rauks. I had a half mile to go and
I thinte I went iu about a minute.
I finally got accustomed to the rules
and had no more troub'.e; also, I 'igot accustomed to being oilled John. We
drilled every day for two months, and the officers never knew the difference and but very few of the (ompany. On May 1 there was an order to give a ten days furlough to all of oui soldiers. I came home on my furlough. By this time John had entirely recovered, and
returned on my furlough to company K, and served his time out. Letter in Toledo Blade.

The streams that run into Lake Superior are alive with trout, and next summer I propose to go up there and roast until I have so thoroughly saturated my system witii trout that the trout hones will still stick out through my clothes in every direction and peo
ple will regard me as abeantiful tooth
pick holder.
Still there will bo a few left lor tnose who think of going up there. All I
will need will be barely enough to feed
Albert Victor and myself from day to
day. People who have never seen a crown head with a peeled nose on it
are cordially invited to come over and
