MR. AND MRS. BONDURANT.

BY BONNE HUEBE.

“ l think jot will find a document under your plate that may interest you,” said Mrs. Bondurant, addressing her husband, as he took his scat at the breakfast table. The words were ottered with a look intended to express severe censure, with some pity and contempt, and rather more of the latter. The husband slowly turned over his plate, took up and read a grocer’s bill -$59 34. On the margin were the words, “Check expected immediately.” “ I would rather not send this man a check just now,” said Mr. Bondurant. “It is fruo I have a little more than that amount in the bank, but I shall need all I have and more also to-mor-row to pay tho costs of the suit I am conducting.” “This is about the answer I expected to receive,” said his wife, “and I must tell you that your paltry excuses will not answer for the purpose. That bill must be paid at once.” “It is scarcely worth while, Julia, to speak so emphatically in regard to this matter,” said the husband. “I-am doing a littlo business for those grocers, and although they do not owe mo anything now, I can, I suppose, get them to wait a few days and iu tho mem time let us have wiiat goods we need.” “They will do nothing of that sort,” said Mrs. Bondurant. “And if the bill is not paid before 3 o’clock to-day they will send it to my brother, Alfred, who will pay it and take an assignment of the claim.”

“Then let him do so,” said Mr. Bonduraut, quietly breaking a piece of hard cracker into his coffee and at the same time deliberately watching the softening process. “This is what they call liard-tack, I believe. It is better for sailors than for us poor landsmen. They have more time to spend soaking it, unless when the rough weather comes on, and then 1 suppose they dispense with the ceremony of eating until the storm has expended its fury.” “Your insinuations axe intended to exasperate me,” said Mrs. Bondurant, “but I warn you, sir, that you are treading on treacherous ground.” “If the ground, madam, on which I am treading is composed of your feelings I would not exp.ct to find it uncommonly delicate,” was the retort. “Are you willing, sir, to have my biotlier pay that grocer’s bill?” “I could have easily arranged it in su«h a way that it would not have gone into his hands, but as I infer from what yon say that the matter has been talked over between him and you and the grocer, and that he has agreed to take an assignment of the bill if I do not pay it before 3 o’clock to-day, I shall allow tho matter to bo disposed of in that way, and give myself no further concern in regard to it at present.” “Then it seems you are willing to have niy brother provide for your family? That is just what he told me it would come to when we were married, and in fact immediately after he first learned that you were visiting mo. My father and mother also gave me the same warning. They told me more thau fifty tilues that you would never be worth a dollar in the world, and they would have to support us.” “ And you are sorry you did not take their advice?”

“ Sometimes I nrn, if I must tell you the truth. You know I could have marriotl Eocky Bil'iugs, and I lmd other good offers. As for Eocky, he was almost dying for me. His social standing was not, it is true, quite equal to yours, and ho was not so good-looking, but he had moro business capacity than a hundred young lawyers like you. With him for a husband I would never have suffered the mortification of seeing a grocer’s bill paid by my brother.” “ Mr. Billings is still unmarried, I believe,” said the husband dryly. “What base insinuation are those words intended to convey? You are now my husband, and I have no wish to exchango yon for Mr. Billings or any one else. If I have made a bad bargain it is right that I should suffer the consequences of it, and I intend to do so as patiently ns I can.” “Whenever you wish to be released from the consequences, madam, and the bargain that has led to them, please let mo know,” said Mr. Bondurant; and, without a word more or any token of affection, he passed down the two flights of stairs that led to their hired apartment and was on his way to his office. But, before leaving the room in which lie had breakfasted, he jtlaeed on the table a $lO bill. There was an inside history which this table-talk may suggest but does not explain. Julia Henderson was tho daughter of a proud, ambitious family, who had a little means that they were fond of displaying to the greatest advantage. Their daughter Julia was a young lady of recognized beauty and moro than ordinary attractions, and they had hoped that her marriage to such a man as they would select and approve would be of some benefit to them as well as to her, and lift them up considerably on the scale of worldly prosperity. “Can it be possible, Julia, 1 hat you are receiving the attentions of ‘ that young lawyer?” Mr. Henderson bad said. “Well, no, father,” Julia answered; “not in any other way than that I find him a pleasant companion. He calls and takes me out occasionally, in which I hope you see nothing wrong.” “I don’t like the way he looks at you, Julia. Fie evidently admires you, and admiration sometimes changes to love so easily that it is scarcely possible to say when or in what way tho transition takes place. I understand he is a somowhat able lawyer, but is very poor and is no doubt likely to remain so in a profession that is crowded until there is no longer standing room left. Yon had better have a talk with your brother and hear his opinion in regard to this young lawyer before you allow him to call many times more.” A scornful and defiant look was the

only answer this suggestion raised, and the next moment the young lady had left the room. “Yon see how that girl takes and sets,” said Mr. Henderson to his wife, who had been a silent listener. “Yes, mj" dear,” said her mother, “and I am now satisfied that her feelings are more deeply interested in the young lawyer than any of us had supposed. Bat let Alfred talk with her, and he may be able to tarn her thoughts away from young Bonduiant and get her to encourage the attentions of Mr. Billings. He is rather a lew-bred young man, it is true, but he is making money rapidly, and his uncultivated manner need not alarm ns—a few weeks spent in society will make them all right.” “Perhaps so,” said Mr. Henderson, with a look that betrayed more skepticism than confidence.

“ I had no thought of seriously encouraging the attentions of Mr. Bondurant,” said Jnlia, the moment she began to feel the pressure of her brother’s determinations to prevent the acquaintance from proceeding any further. “ But now, if you please, Master Alfred, I shall do exactly as I think best in regard to this matter.” From that time onward the young lady found employment for tho whole of her life-will—and she had a good deal—in resisting the effort of her parents and brothers to compel her to dismiss the youug lawyer “If you marry him we shall be obliged to support you both, no doubt,” was her brother’s frequent and tantalizing suggestion. “ The young fellow is noi making a dollar more than he needs for his own board and clothes, and he has actually been obliged to give up smoking, because he could not afford cigars, and was too proud to be seen using a pipe.” The young people had been married four y?ars when the conversation occurred in regard to the grocer’s bill. Young Henderson had been making some money, a little of which ho had found opportunities occasionally to give to his sister, and in every instauco had reminded her that he was fulfilling liis predictions. In fact he, and her parents also, had been continually reproaching her for her folly in marrying the poor lawyer.

The unfortunate woman—for so Julia began to consider herself—had no children now living. One little girl, born about eighteen months after their marriage, had Jived nearly a year, and when its death and burial came the feelings of the parents -of the father especially—had been wounded almost beyond endurance by their being made to realize their inability to provide for the funeral expenses in a becoming manner. “I must take care of tho dead also, as well as the living,” was her brother’s unfeeling remark, made while the funeral preparations were in progress. The stern logic of long continued experience had finally exhausted the spirit of the poor wife, and she gradually came to believe that what she had so often been told was true, and that she had made a great mistake in marrying the poor lawyer. This persuasion, having become a settled conviction, soon found expression in complaints and reproaches which were not very patiently borne by tho man who was conscious of doing all in his power to make his wife comfortable, and never spending a cent for any personal indulgence. Besides, the amount earned would have enabled them to live in a style of moderate comfort, had not his wife’s family continually urged her into expenditures beyond what her husband could ass >rd.

Tho young lawyer had, however, at last got hold of a case which he felt certain of gaining, and which, when decided, would bring a few thousand dollars. He had taken the case at his own risk and coßt, and was to receive onehalf of the amount received, his client having expended his last dollar in the suit, and being unable to do anything more. In the meanlime that over-as-siduous and agonizing brother-in-law, who was ready to pay the grocer's bill and take an assignment of the claim, had an interest in defeating the suit and was actually furnishing money for that purpose. But these legal and business complications the discouraged and fault-find-ing wife did not know much about. She knew that the grocer’s bill and other bills wero unpaid, and that the brother had already paid several of those bills and was holding the claims against her husband. “Well, Julia,” said Mr. Bondurant, returning from his office on the evening of the day when he left without saying “Good-by;” “I hope you have been able to get up a plain dinner with the $lO I left on the table this morning.” “I have not used the $lO, nor any of it,” said his wife, handing the money back to hinh ‘ I have had a long and serious talk with brother Alfred to-day, and have come to a firm conclusion that under the circumstances it will be best for me to return to my father’s house and remain there until you are able to provide for me and yourself also. For the present you have as much as you can do to take care of yourself, and my brother has promised to see that I am comfortably provided for.” Mr. Bondurant regarded his wife for a few moments in bewildertd amazement. «Ho was carefully holding the $lO bill which he had accepted from her, but without knowing why she had handed it back to him. He now dropped tho bill on the table, and clasping his hands, as he was in the habit of doing sometimes when trying to get a clear view of some question that bothered him, he looked at his wife for a few moments in a solemn and earnest way, and then said: *

“If our dear child had lived I suppose you would not have left me.” “No, 1 presume not; she, no doubt, would have kept us together. I would not have taken her from you, and I know you would not have gone to live with mo at my father’s house. I have no thought, Alfred, of really leaving you, but shall be true to my marriage vows, and shall be ready to return to you as soon as you aro able to provide for me. But for the present we must part. My brother tells me that the claim you are prosecuting will end in nothing, and that ycu are not worth a dollar to-day, and it is not likely you ever will be.” “And if that is sc>, it would seem that you aro leaving me with tho expectation of returning no more.” “That must depend, Mr.Bondurant,” said the wife, steeling herself to a cold and firm look, “ bn the possible contingency of your being able, at some future time, to provide for me in a comfortable way, which, I am sorry to say, does not now appear very probable.” “Then good-by forever!” said the husband, rising and withdrawing frem the room, without taking any further notice of his wife; nor did he even look back. The marriage, as a legal relation, remained undisturbed. The husband and wife, when meeting occasionally on the street or elsewhere,' bestowed upon each other a bew of civil recognition, but without exchanging a word. In this way eight years had passed. At the end of five years Mrs. Bondman t’s family, including that devoted brother, had been both unable and unwilling to do anything more for her, and for the last three years she had been supporting herself by performing the duties of secretary for an insurance company. Why tb at situal ion had been given to her, just at a time when she

had no other means of suppert, and at* salary much larger than she had expected to receive, was a mystery about which she had her own private suspicions. It was a cold morning in mid-win tar, and the sidewalks were covered with ice. Mrs. Bondurant, on her way to her office, had just passed the manly form of one whom she had never ceased to admire—yes, love, for his image had always remained in her heart. Every photograph, piece of jewelry, or other memento that he had left with her had been looked at and handled again and again, and some of these articles she had often bathed with her tears.

On passing him this time she had received the usual look and bow, mid nothing more. The poor woman could not, however, refrain from casting a look back son an instant to catch a glimpse of his receding form, and while she was doing so the treacherous ice, as if intending some mischief, permitted her to fall suddenly and at fall length. “ Are you hart, my dear ? ” were the first words she heard, and her quick, spontaneous answer was: “Not much, I hope, darling husband ! ” And as he lifted her into the carriage he had hailed and took a seat by her side, with his arm around her, she added, “How glad I am that you were there to assist me.” “Yes, dear, that was a slippery path,” he said softly. “ Which I hope I may never piss over again 1 ” murmured tho wife, earnestly. “I gained that suit,”, said the husband, as the carriage was taking them to his home, which could now be hers also. “Yes, dear, I knew you gained it, and I was so glad 1 I have saved more than half my salary the last three years. Yon know, and so do I, that most of that salary has come form you.” The long embrace and fond kiss which each.received and returned was a mutual assurance that through their long separation their hearts had become united more firmly than ever. “It was all my—all my fault,” was what the repentant and now happy wife wanted and endeavored to say, but she was stopped every time. “No, no, my dear 1” her husband would answer “These self-reproaches, coming from you, arc painful to me. The past has done its work in its own way, and now let us remember the lessons it has taught us, and forget the sorrows through which those lessons have been learned!”

FARM NOTES.

Some Hints on tlie Management of live Stock. TFrom tho American Agriculturist.] Pigs. —Store pigs will thrive well on roots with a slop of bran, sour milk and water. A supply of roots on hand will greatly reduce the cost of feeding store pigs. Turnips that cannot well be fed to cows may be given to the, pigs. Give young pigs a warm, dry bed. Lice. —The irritation of lice keeps young animals poor and miserable. To rid them of these pests, brush the skin all over thoroughly with a brush dipped in a mixture of linseed-oil and kerosene, shaking the excess of oil out before using the brush. Work the grease down to the skin; if this is persevered in the lice will soon disappear. Mares in Foal. —A roomy loose box is the safest and most comfortable place for a brood mare. A colt may be raised for the same cost as a cow, and when 3 years old may be worth four cows. There is a brisk demand for good werk horses, and a large export business is growing up, so that the keeping of mares will become a source of income. Dub uob onlj- l»trifl kept, and the right kind of colts ue raised, but the mares must have proper stable accommodations. When a mare is idle a largo portion of the time, exercise is needed, and this she can get in a loose box.

Colts. —Young colts should be well fed and cared for the first winter; provide a warm stall for them, with plenty of litter, and give them a good brushing down once every day. A quart of oats, daily, will be needed, and some bright, clean, sweet hay. Cut feed is not suitable for young colts, whoso digestion should not be overtaxed by food packed solidly in the stomach; feed light and frequently. Work - Oxen.— Oxen that work on frozen roads, although there is no ice, should be shod. The rough, hard surface wears down the hoofs very fast, and causes inflammation of the interior.; the trouble may not become apparent until later, when the mischief is difficult to repair. If the feet are tender and hot, and slight lameness is perceived, examine the hoofs between the claws, cleanse the feet and apply remedies if needed. Lambs. —Lambs dropped this month should bo well fed through the ewe. Give little heating food, such as corn, in any shape; but bran, oil-cake meal, and oatmeal in gruel will be healthful and nourishing for the ewe and the iamb. Jn stormy weather the ewe and lamb may be kept under cover, but in fine, sunny days they may run in a dry yard; but not with the other sheep. Early lambs for market should be pushed ahead as fast as may be safe. Breeding owes that are expected to drop lambs early should be closely watched. The springing of the udder is an unfailing sign of approaching parturition. Tho ewe should then be removed to a separate pen and kept quiet, but visited at least every three hours and the last thing at night. It is rarely that any help is needed, except in very cold weather, to w'rap a piece of solt blanket about the lamb and to help it suck as soon as possible. As soon as the lamb gets a meal it will be all right, and the ewe may be left to herself for a few hours.

Tameness and gentleness are qualities to be encouraged in all domestic animals. Their value is discovered when it is necessary to handle the animals at critical periods. When confidence, if not affection, exists, one can do much with a suffering animal, when otherwise interference might make matters worse. It would be well to make friends with cows and sheep especially, by petting them, giving them salt and palatable things, and mingling with them in the yards. Every animal should bo trained to be handled when loose in tho yard. Cows. —Milking cows will be benefited by mixing their feed with warm water, if this can be done without too much trouble. A family cow may be treated to a warm mess in the mornings without difficulty, and it will increase the milk perceptibly. Cut the hay and pour a pailful of hot water over it; mix the mess so that the hay is all wetted; and add the meal; mix again, and feed while warm. In a dairy of twenty cows the extra milk will pay for the labor needed. If the food can be made more digestible, and by giving it warm, tho waste of animal heat will be avoided, and tbe same effect will result as from an tio'-cpf’o of food. Thus the study of the principles of feeding may be made a source of profit by the economy which may be practiced through it. The card aud brush should be in frequent use during the winter", and, if necessary, a coarse cloth and warm water may be used to preserve cleanliness. If filth is permitted to gather on the skin it is difficult to remove at this season. Yowng oalves will thrive well if kept in a shed together and well fed. The

stood may be littered liberally, and need not be cleaned out until the spring, or until the manure has become a foot or more deep. Calves may thus become good manure-makers, bat it will be neceesaryto feed them well. Bran and oats, with a little com, will be Hie best for them. Oive one pint a day for those under a year, and a quart or' two daily for yearlings. Costiveness in cold weather should be carefully guarded against, and, if necessay, half a pint of raw linseed-oil, or a pint of linseedmeal, should be given with the food as a remedy.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

Molasses Case. —One cup molasses, one cap of sugar, one-half cap of batter or fried meat grease, one-half cup of sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, two eggs, floor enough to make as stiff as sponge cake. Tomato Soup.— Twelve tomatoes, pared and out fine, boiled one honr, or two qnarts.of canned tomatoes, boiled one-half hour; add two qnarts of'rich milk, stirring constantly, one pint of oyster crackers rolled, batter size of an egg; serve immediately. Government Clerk’s Omelet.— Take two eggs, beat them well, whites and yelks; add one enp of milk, in which a table-spoonful of corn-staroh has been dissolved, and a little salt and pepper; have butter sufficiently hot in pan; stir up the omelet while cooking. To Broil Smoked Halibut. —Select halibut of a dark-brown color, the thinnest and hardest; soak twenty-four hours in cold water, with the flesh side down; only cover with water; broil over hot coals; serve with a little butter, or poach eggs and dish them with the halibut as if for ham.

Delicate Cake. —Take half a pound of batter, one pound of 6ugar, one pound of flour, half a pint of sweet milk or water, four eggs. Beat the butter and sugar to a cream, then add the beaten eggs, then tho milk or water, then the flour; mix thoroughly and put the batter into your pan; sift fine sugar over the top, and bake immediately in a moderate oven. Scrap Puddino. —Put scraps of bread, ernst and crumb, into a bowl, with sufficient milk to cover them well. Cover with a plate, and put it into the oven to soak for about half an honr. Take it out, and mash the bread with a fork till it is a pulp; then add a handfuf of raisins and as many currants, a teacupful of brown sugar, half a cup of milk, some candied lemon peel, and one egg. Stir it np well, grease a puddingdish, and pour the pudding in. Grate over a little nutmeg, put it into a moderate oven, and let it bake for an hour and a half. Cold Meat and Ham Croquets.— Take cold fowl or cold meat of any kind, with a few slices of cold ham, fat and lean, chop together until very fine, add half as much stale bread grated, salt, pepper, grated nutmeg, d teaspoonful of made mustard, one table-spoonful of catchup, a small lump of butter. Knead all well together, make into small flat cakes (the yelk of an egg can be used to bind the ingredients, but it is not necessary). Brush with the yelk of a beaten egg on both sides, cover thickly with grated bread-crumbs, fry in a little lard or butter to a light brown. It is surprising how mi ny of these croquets can be made from a very little cold meat and ham, and they are excellent.

He Failed.

When a Quincy lady came to the front door in answer to the bell, she found there a well-preserved specimen of the genus tramp. RemoviQg his cereu uai, ne essayed a poiito dow, and said: “ Madam, when I lost my little all in the fire at Chicago, aid there received injuries which rendered me totally unfit to perform labor ” “ That will do, sir,” interrupted the lady. “ That dodge died from overwork years ago. I cannot help you.” “ Four years’ hard fighting in the glorious army which, by prowess of arms, crushed that hydra-headed monster, rebellion, should entitle me to the consideration of all loyal people, madam. It cannot be that the glowing fires of patriotism are so soon smothered in the breasts of our loyal women ?” “ How old are you, sir?” “ Twenty years ago to-morrow, Madam, my first infant wail was borne upon the air of this glorious free country.” The lady smiled, and replied:

“ How noble must have been tho feelings which actuated your parents to offer, as a willing sacri6ce upon the altar of their country, their darling year-old infant 1” This rather stumped the tourist, who began to perform a mathematical problem upon his smutty fingers. After a moment’s reflection, he again came up to the scratch: “ Madam, can a poor wanderer, who lost every friend he had in the world by the yellow fever in Memphis, successfully strike you for a little sustenance?” “Yellow-fever sufferers are entirely too numerous. I just turned away seven of them in one crowd.” “ Well, good-by, Madam; but remember my words: When you hear of the exiled nobleman having returned to his beloved France, aud when the Quincy pap; rs publish the account of his dying and leaviug a fortune to a poor family who fed him while a wanderer in this city, you will just git up and howl, and swear at yourself for refusing him a cold bite.” He dodged the umbrella hurled at him, and sailed for the gate. From the sidewalk he yelled: “Sa a-ay! when the Western Senator that’s awaiting for funds from home, and the man that was bio wed up by a cannon last Fourth o’ July taps yon for a hand out this morning, tell them they’ll find Hungry Jim from Toledo working the free-lunch saloons on Hampshire street!” and he marched off singing: t Rusty bums, jolly old chums, We liYe like royal Turks; When we have luck, a bummin’ ourcbuck, No help for the man that works. —Modern Argo.

Be Honorable.

Boys and young men sometimes start out into life with the idea that one’s success depends on sharpness and chicanery. They imagine if a man is able always to “get the best of a bargain,” no matter by what deceit and meanness he carries his point, that his prosperity is assured. This is a great mistake. Enduring prosperity cannot be founded on cunning and dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful man is sure to fall a victim, sooner or later, to the influences which are forever working against him. His house is built upon the sand, and its fonndation will be certain to give way. Young people cannot give these truths too much weight. The future of that young man is safe who eschews every shape of double dealing, and lays the foundation of his career in the enduring principles of everlasting truth.

Unprepared.

“William, you have again come np unprepared?’ “Yes, sir.” “But from wlxat cause?” “Laziness, sir.’’ “Johnson, give William a good mark for uprightness. Bates, you proceed.” “I am not prepared, too, sir.” “But why not?” “From laziness, sir.” “Johnson, give Bates a bad mark for plagiarism.”

Bustles having gone out of fashion, a richly-dressed woman wearing one of great size attracted the attention of the customs officers at Windsor, Canada. It was found to contain tea. Five thousand dollars is offered by the American Humane Society of Chicago for a stock oar in which live animals can be carried long distances without needless suffering. Finding a basket on her stoop, a cautious woman in Newport, R. 1., took it to a police station, and was surprised to learn afterward that it contained a twenty-pound turkey and not a foundling. No other man in the world of his years has known and conversed with so many celebrated and interesting persons as has the Prince of Wales, and consequently he is unusually well-informed, though little of a reader. Boston eyes are the poorest in the world. While a by-stander on a fashionable street of Boston was taking notes he saw in an hour and a half fiftyfive people who wore eye-glasses. Thir-ty-four were ladies and twenty-one were men. John Maddocks and Henry Quin, of Dublin, the former in the clear and unincumbered possession of $30,000 a year, and both in full possession of health and competence, committed suicide early in the century for no other reason than that they were tired of the unvaried repetitions and amusements, to them insupportably insipid, of existence. A Chicago thief shaved off his mustache after robbing a lady in the street, and by that means made it impossible for her to identify him when he was arrested ; but he could not long resist the months later, when the new mustache had grown like the old one, she recognized him in a crowd, and lie has been convicted. A little boy starved to death, at Pittsburgh, in consequence of a throat disease that prevented his swallowing anything. He lived four weeks without eating or drinking. His pleadings for food were pitiful, and he frequently dreamed of enjoying sumptuous repasts only to awake to dreadful hunger and thirst.

A Watch in His Hat.

We have seen a great deal written and heard considerable said about the “Man in the Iron Mask,” and the man with a “brick” in his hat, but while riding on a Western railroad a short time since we actually beheld a man with a watch in his hat—aye, in his hat—but not on the inside of his hat—a plain silver watch set in his hat front, about midway between the rim and the crown, face outward, so that any one passing in front of him could tell the time of day. He was a middle-aged man, with long hair —by the way, how is it that almost all eccentric individuals wear long hair—even Samson did until Delilah found a pair of shears—and paid no apparent attention to the numerous queer looks cast at him. It getting noised about the train numerous persons from other cars would pass through the coach he was in to see the man with the watch in his hat. At last ony young gent with more assurance ' than discretion ventured to ask the peculiar party the reason why he carried his watch in that promineut position. The old sport looked his questioner quizzically iu the face and told him it was an alarm watch, and every time it struck it hit his head, and reminded him that it was time to take his medicine, and remarking, “ It has just struck,” pulled out a bottle of “ old rye” and took a good “ swig,” and the young man retreated amid the quiet smiles of the adjacent passengers.

A Wife’s Mistake.

A woman at Stockton, Cal., who had a drunken husband, was waiting late at night for him to come home. The lamp was in her bedroom and she was in the parlor. Hearing a noise outside, as if a man who was drunk was trying to find the gate, she went out, and sure enough a drunken man was there. She helped him into the parlor, as she had been used to doing, and placed him carefully on the lounge. After a hard struggle she got his coat and vest off, and then pulled at the boots (as she thought they were), but they would not come off. At length she felt up about the ankles and found that the man had shoes on—something that her husband never wore, Striking a light she saw he was a stranger,

A Sharp Shine-’Em-Up.

When Sol Smith Russell, the actor, was last in Detroit he thought to {day a trick on the brush boy in a barber’s shop by offering the lad a S2O bill after the broom had done its work. The boy received the money with his usual “ thankee," and placed the money in his vest pocket. " What did I give yon t” asked Sol after a little time. * Twenty dollars, sah," was the oomplaeent answer. “ And was that too much? " “ Well, sah, when you handed me dat bill I s’posed - yon would be in for an extra brush long dis afternoon, and wanted to save makin’ change! In case you gwine to leab town this mawnin’ 11l get de bill busted up an’hand ober your sheer!" It cost Sol half a dollar to get his bill back, and there is one gallery-god in this city who will never applaud him again.

Scientists May Differ

About the pathology of rheumatism, its origin and whether it be hereditary, but irrefragible testimony proves that, when a tendency to it develops itself, Hoetetter’s Stomach Bitters is a reliable means of subduing that tendency. Some of the prescribed remedies for the disease are decidedly objeethmable from the danger attending their nee, others are utterly ineffectual; the beet, the safest check is the Bitters. This very obstinate malady, the more effectually to overcome it, should be grappled with at the outset Every one knows what terrible, what ceaseless pain it oan inflict Why, then, should this atrocious, often-fatal complaint be allowed to gain headway through indifference to its earliest symptoms, when a safe, long-tested and strongly-recommended medicine presents itself. In addition to suggesting this a means of relief it seems not inappropriate to caution the rhenmatio against exposure.

There Is Always Boom at the Top.

Daniel Webster once said to a young struggling lawyer: “ Young man, seek for eminence in your calling—there’s always room at the top." This remark has passed into a popular proverb, and has received another illustration in the wonderful success of the “ 95 Per Cent. Sterling Rubber Boot” When the Oandee Co. first put these goods on the market there was a general prediction of failure, on account of the relative high price necessarily asked for a boot of such quality. But the utter worthlessness of all other rubber boots had filled the community with indignation, and the fact that the company had themselves faith enough in the goods to give a three months’ warrant on them, and to stamp that warrant on the boots, and to provide a place for a permanent record of the date of sale so as to fix the duration of the warrant, showed a degree of confidence and good faith which tempted buyers to give the boots a trial. And a trial so fully demonstrated the great worth and economy of the boots that they are gradually displacing all the cheaper goods. Bolid merit always wins.
