SWEET EVENIXGS COME AMD GO. BY GXOKGX RIOT. Sweet evenings come and go, love, , T hey came and went of yore; This evening of our life, love. Shall go and come no more. When wo have passed away, love, AU things will keep their name; Ent yet no lift oh earth, love. With ours will be the same. The daisies will be there, love. The stars In heaven will shine; I shall not feel thy wish, love, Nor thon my hand in thine. A better time will come, love, And better souls be born; I would not be the best, love, To leave thee now forlorn.

JACOB AND SALLIE.

Hit? name was Jacob. It had been his father’s before him, and his father’s father’s. The Storms were a hard-work-ing, money-getting race. Jacob Storm, the father of our hero, constantly said that “he couldn’t see why under the shinin’ sun a man needed an eddication; ’t any rat mor’n ’nough to reckon his crops and cattle.” Jacob, the younger, had once expressed a desire to attend school out of town; but Storm, senior, killed his ambition in that respect with a few words: “The old red school-house was good enough for your father and your grandfa her, and when you get all you can ti e 111 hud plenty of work til you; it shan’t be said that one of the old Storm blood ever hired out to work for strangers.” The inhabitants of Putneyville were not all conservatives of the Storm order. Sons of rich formers were in college, daughters of hard-working fathers and mothers were away at school, and Putneyville felt their influence when they came home for a vacation. One of the gayest, brightest, prettiest girls in town was Sallie Rivers. Her father had a poorer farm and fewer bonds than Ids neighbor, Jacob Storm. But the Rivers family worshiped another idol. From the mother down, everyone valued a good education. The father had been denied it, as he had been the eldest of a large family, and compelled to aid in supporting the rest. He was a man of excellent natural ability, and extravagantly fond of reading. When his girls and boys grew around him, they heard important topics discussed at the table ; they knew all about Congress and our relations with foreign powers, and once Mr. Rivers had been called upon to represent his town in the Legislature of the State. The boys of the family were compelled to work their way through college, and Sallie, the jovial, was determined to follow their example. *No wonder Jacob Storm, Jr., adored Sallie. He had lived near her for years, and carried her dinner pail back and forth for her, had purposely misspelled words to Jet her pass above him, and in all her maddest pranks he had rejoiced while others blaimed. Sallie’s brothers were fond of her, and ne-ver for one mo- ' ment thought it either unladylike or sinful for her to share all their sports. When one of their neighbors gave a party, the verbal invitation was generally, “ Sallie and the rest of the boys.” Sallie liked it; she was full of bounding life ; she hated silly airs ; and as her brothers were, with one exception, older than herself, sufely it was quite proper for her to do as they did. When Tom wrote home from college that his dear little sister “ must not go out in the hot sun or she might spoil her complexion,” Sallie wrote back : “ Don’t bother your dear old maid. I care more for good sound health than anything else; and those who really love me won’t mind a few freckles.” Sallie went on in her own way ; she flew from one end to the other of the large farm house, now singing a scrap of some familiar song, now chanting in full, clear tones some grand old anthem. Jacob Storm had once called her the “Will-o’-the-wisp,” and the name fitted her so well the boys took it up. The wildest colt on the farm would obey Sallie; she feared nothing ; went and came as she pleased, and accomplished in one morning more than her mother and Huldah, the maid, could possibly do together. Naturally this warm-hearted, active, cheerful girl was the light of her father’s eyes. He could not send her away from home like the boys, not even for the coveted education. For’three years in her teens she bore the restraint as meekly as possible, but the fourth year could not be borne. How much the girl suffered*!! secret no one knew. “Father,” she said, one day, as she sprung from her saddle, “my mind is made up. I shall go into the mill and earn money enough to attend school.”

“ But mother can’t spare you, daughter.” “Mother ia willing,”said Sallie; “she always wanted to study herself.” “Well, we seem to need you here, somehow.” said the old gentleman, strewing the colt’s neck to hide his feelings. “Yes, father, and you shall have me. I can work hard and come home to spend every vacation; and won’t you be glad to see me ?” Mr. B vers led the colt away, and did not answer. “Why not ?” he said to himself; “why shouldn’t she nave a fair chance ? I suppose I might sell off the meadow to Storm, and send my only girl away in good shape ; but it will spoil the farm, and I hate to.” He could not think of the house without her; he dreaded the long winter evenings, and the warm summer days, without fiis darling, and at last he sat down in one corner of the old barn on an old grindstone, which Sallie had often turned for him. He sat there a long time to overcome his selfishness; and at last, as he heard the girl's ringing voice calling him to supper, he rose up, saying, “She’s my only girl; and she shall have a chance, come what will.”

The boys were delighted. They were proud of Sallie, and quite sure she would do herself and the family credit. To be sure, Tom’s pride was hurt when he heard she was to work in the mill at Glen mere; but the new house which Tom had urged his father to build had cost more than they expected, and every year some new machinery must be purchased. It was twenty miles to Glenmere twenty miles from home-love, care and comfort; but Sallie did not falter. To be sure, it was a trial to leavp them all, a hard thing to select from her little store of girl’s belongings; and a small room in a boarding-house would never afford the delight that her own large, sunny chamber did. Sallie felt a thousand tears, but did not shed one, although hey mother and Huldah wept profusely as the carriage drove away, with Sallie’s father on the back seat with her, and Jacob Storm in front with Sallie’s brother Dike. Dike was younger than his sister, and in deep grief at her loss. It did not comfort him to be told that she would not board among strangers, but become a member of Mrs. Mora’s family. He did not choose to listen when Jacob told him that Sallie was too wise and too good to remain buried in Putneyville. Dike was 16, and at that age a boy considers everything a “burning shame” which interferes with his pleasure. “I wish I had her chance,” said Jacob, as the father and daughter talked in low tones on the back seat. “ Great. chance,” said Dike, “to go down there and work among all sorts, and never have any music or any home, or ” Dike paused; his feelings were too much for him, and yet he would not let Jake Storm see a tear in his eyes. “It’s a chance to make yourself something better than a drudge; a chance to pee and know what is going on in this

great world. Reading is good, Dike, but seeing is a million times better. ” Jacob read early and late, he thought and studied; but, after all, he knew the discipline which Tom and Joe Rivers were having would be a blessing to him. His only dread was that Sallie might consider him inferior to her. “She shall not get before me if I die trying,” he said. Sallie’s room was not so bad, after all; Mrs. Mora had done her best to please her old friend Mrs. Rivers. When Bailie’s books were unpacked, and her piano was in one corner, and her pet bird Glory hung up, the place was quite delightful. Sallie could not live in a dingy, dull hole; sunshine Was necessary to her existence. Her first week in the mill left her pale and weary, but a stout heart and a strong will kept her up. At night she was busy, her music and studies occupied every moment. Mrs. Mora tried to interest her in the sports and games of her fellow-boarders, but Sallie politely declined. A room-mate was impossible, as she desired to spend her spare moments in preparation for her future work. About this time she wrote to Tom : “It is a hard grind, dear old boy; and sometimes when my head whirls about with the noise, or the associations vex me, I feel like running away to China or Japan ! but I don’t; I only go home when I am free, and tike a good dose of Chopin or Beethoven; they tone me up. By careful management I shall be able to save some money. There is a little French girl here who is anxious to study Em glish; every week I give her a lesson for a lessqn; I speak and read French with her; then two of Mrs. Mora’s children take lessons on the piano, and my board bill is light. Who do you think comes here every Sunday? Why, Jacob Storm. Has father will not let him go to college, and he walks down here after work is done on Saturday, and returns Sunday night. He is a great friend of John Mora’s, and I have to be teased about him, but I don’t mind that. Jake seems like one of you, and every week he asks me about my lessons. “Jake gets books from the library here, and leaves them for me to read first; then we talk them over afterward, and Dike is getting quite interested.” Brave little Sallie I The days and weeks flew by, and found her at her post. She only saw the hard daily toil, only felt the bonds which kept her close until she could join the girls who quiet ly and easily walked the path of knowledge. “Sometimes his father allows him to drive down, and then you may be sure we have a good breath of country air. He said one day, in nis slow, deliberate fashion: ‘lf my coming annoys you, Sallie, just say so ; but it seems to me that you might not feel so far away if you saw a home face once a week,’ Sometimes he would bring a few flowers or some chickweed for Glory, and sometimes a piece of new cheese in a dainty box, and generally a note or message from mother or Dike. When ho drives down Dike comes with him ; and I can work harder all the week after seeing his rosy face.” She did not know that her example gave Joe new couiage, and kept Tom from many a “college lark;” she never dreamed that Jacob Storm was making a man of himself for her sake; she could not see the power she exercised over Dike, who was inclined to be a little wayward ; she never guessed that her devotion to self culture and study had stimulated some of her associates to go and do likewise. She only felt the pressure of the daily toil, and longed for the day of her emancipation ; only worked unceasingly.

Little by little the sound of the factory bell grew hateful to her, and its red brick walls wearied her eyes, but over and over to herself she said, “ There is no such word as fail.” Her brief vacations were seasons of joy. Jacob Storm wished they might last forever. He, too, was hard at work; and one day, when he and Sallie had discussed the merits of various authors, and compared notes concerning their studies, Sallie’s outburst of praise for his achievement drew from him an avowal of his love. “Why, Jacob,” said she, regretfully, “I never thought of you in that way. I should os soon fancy Tom marrying me. ” “You think I am clumsy and slow,” he said, “or perhaps stupid and ignorant, because I remain here when others go away; they have educated themselves with fate and fortune to aid them. I have done it thus far against fate and without fortune. I shall some day make the world hear of me; how, when or where I do not know, but it will come.” “1 believe you, Jacob,” said Sallie, “and I am proud of you; but love is something I know nothing of, and, until f have finished my course as a student, I must put pleasure out of my head. Don’t sulk, Jacob; I am not heartless, only ignorant. Come, saddle Tam O’Shanter, and let us have one of your mad rides to Sparkling Spring; it will be something to remember when I am grinding at the mill again.” Jacob obeyed her. Her wishes had been his law for years and he was manly, enough to be roudd of it. TIL JrwS t the goal was won. Sallie was in college devoting herself to her cherished books, and Jacob still worked as he had done before, now blaming himself for his folly in regarding his father’s wishes, now working at his books with the desperate energy of one who lias staked all on Every Sunday he visits Glenmere with Dike, but no longer spends his time with Sallie. At last a change came. Jacob Storm, Sr., was gathered to his fathers, and his son was free.

Dike wrote to his sister in boyish fashion: “Old Storm has gone, and Jake mourns for him as if he had been loving and tender, instead of a stiff old miser. Jake will leave here soon; he does not say where he is going. I shall miss him terribly. We‘ have read and studied together all winter. Jake knows a heap. He surprises me all the time. He is having your picture painted for me, from the one you sent home. I wish I could go with him , but, as you say, it would never do to leave father and mother alone. lam reading the books you ordered, but I can’t pin myself down to hard study after working all day. ” Sallie’s last year of college-life was drawing to a close, and the students were arranging for a separation, when an invitation was sent them to attend a lecture by an eminent gentleman who had been recently appointed to a professorship in a Western university. “ Going, Miss Rivers ? ” asked a Senior, as she peeped in the half-opened door of Sallie’s room. “ No, I think not. I shall enjoy tha time in writing home. ” “Do go. They tell me Prof. Storm is quite remarkable, and Darwinism has its attractions for all of us.” “ Prof. Storm was closeted with the Prex to-day,” said another Senior, “and I understand that the light of his countenance will illuminate the college tomorrow. ” “I think I will go,” said Sallie, suddenly. “It will not do to miss a treat.” In her rebellious littlq heart she was saying, “ I will go for the sake of the old name and my childhood’s friend, but poor old Jake' v ill never know it.” The hall was crowded, and on the platform sat the college President, with several distinguished gentlemen. The speaker’s face was partially hidden by the desk before him. When he rose at last, Sallie’s heart gave a quick bound ; for there before her stood her neighbor, friend and lover. He did not seem to see her ; his subject engrossed his entire attention. Sallie listened with pleasure. The physical training of the past added

strength to his mental acquirements, and his clear, manly voice charmed all listeners. _ . “Isn’t he fine looking?” whispered one. “ What a splendid type of manhood,” said another. “He understands himself perfectly, ” said a third. When the speaker closed, the applause was emphatic and prolonged. Sallie sat motionless. Surprise and pleasure mingled with a thousand memories. Prof. Storm did not heed it. He was looking at a bright face just before him, and answered the congratulations df his friends in an absent manner. “Pardon me,” said he to the President; “I-recognize an old schoolmate yonder.” . “Ah, indeed ! That s Miss Rivers, a young lady of remarkable energy and unbounded perseverance; she stands at the head of her class.” “She would be No. 1 anywhere,”said the professor, as he hurried away to join her. “ I’m so glad, so very glad,” was all Sallie could say. “ Are you? Then help me to escapo from all these eyes, and let me give you the latest tidings from home.” Miss Rivers was envied by her friends as she passed out, stopping now and then to introduce the popular scientist as an old schoolmate. Of what they talked, and how, it matters not to us ; we only know’ that a certain professor was absent from his post in order to attend the exercises at a certain college, where Miss Rivers graduated, and we also know that a wedding took place soon after. Mrs. Storm, nee Sallie Rivers, is also a professor in the same institution with her husband, and her excellent parents spend a portion of each season with her. —Germantown Telegraph.

TARIFF REVISION.

The Commission Selected by lhe President. The Tariff Commission nominated by the President comprises William A. Wheeler, of New York, Chairman ; John L. Hayes, of Massachusetts ; Henry W. Oliver, Jr., of Pennsylvania ; Austin M. Garland, of Illinois ; Jacob Ambler, of Ohio ; John 8. Phelps, of Missouri; Robert P. Porter, of the District of Columbia ; John W. H. Underwood, of Georgia; Duncan F. Kenner, of Louisiana. Nearly aJ the members of the commission are known to be favorable to protection. A Washington correspondent thus outlines the views ol the members of the commission : Mr. Wm. A. Wheeler, of New York, the Chairman, is a strong advocate of the “American” system, but is believed not to be opposed to a general revition of the tariff. Mr. John L. Hayes, of Massachusetts, represents the manufacturers of wool, and is a strong protectionist. He is a man of very extended information on the wool and general tariff question, and ho cannot fail to be of service en the commission. Ho assisted in drafting the existing tariff on wool, and has probably stated the side of the wool manufacturers to every Committee on Ways and Means for a quarter of a century. Hj has been, and probaoiy now is, Secretary of theNaingal WoolGrowers’ Association, which unanimously recommended him for the place. Mr. Austin M. Garland, of Illinois, who was once President of the National Association of Wool-Growers, is appointed especially as representing the wool-growers. It is believed that Hayes and Garland, representing respectively the manufacturers and growers of wool, are agreed that some revision of the tariff is desirable. Henry W. Oliver is identified with rhe iron and steel interests of Pennsylvania, which he represents on the commission. Jacob Ambler, of Ohio, is a native of Pennsylvania, and is a protectionist. He served in the F< rty-first and Forty-second Congresses as a Republican. John 8. Phelps, of Missouri, a Democrat, is a native of Connecticut. He served eighteen years in Congress. He is not a protectionist. Robert P. l otter, appointed as from the District of Columbia, is a native of England, and for a long time a resident of Illinois, where he first attracted attention as a writer on statistical and economic questions. He was called by Gen. Francis Ar Walker to take charge of a portion of the census work, and acquitted himself with distinction. Ho is now editor of the International lieview. Judge W. H. Underwood, of Georgia, represented that State in the United States Senate, but left his seat in 1861 to join the Confederacy. He agrees with Senator Brown, of Georgia, and ex-Ropresentative Felton, in advocating moderate protection for*Goorgia intcrcsts. ' Duncan F. Kenner, of Louisiana, is a wealthy sugar-planter, and is expected to represent the sugar interests. ’ He is a Democrat, but is a protectionist as to sugar. He achieved some prominence as a witness before the Potter Committee and m connection with the Electoral Commission.

PILFERED PLATES.

Hiunori nt Washington Touching the Doyle - Brockway if Forgeries. Washington dispatches state that “there have been rumors of a tremendous sensation in connection with the Doylc-Brockway bonds. It is alleged that experts pronounce the plates to be unquestionably genuine, and that a vast quantity of bonds have been printed from them and others and put in circulation. It is explained that the gentlemen who had charge of the melting of circulation plates were deceived, and the plates. claimed to be melted were stolen or taken away and bonds issued from them. It is chimed, furthermore, that this stealing process was of doubtful authenticity, and that the officers who superintended the supposed destruction of the plates were very easily deceived, and that something else was put into the furnace and the valuable engravings were snatched from the burning for the use of Brockway and Company. ‘•lt is understood from high authority that Mr. Folger has found five plates missing from the list in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and that one of them represents the silvercertificate issue. Mr. Folger has tried to find out how much of the counterfeit-bond issue was put off by the Brockway-Doyle combination before he closes up the affair. From the evidence already in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury, it is clear that a large portion of the currency of the country has been duplicated by the counterfeiters, but to what extent it has entered into general circulation is absolutely unknown. It is probable that Brockway will be released during the week, and when he is the Government will be obliged to make certain explanations. If Brockway, Doyle and Smythe are released, it will only be after certain arrests are made of more important people, to justify the Government in its suspension of sentence over the heads of the most notorious and successful criminals.”

An Objectionable Tenant.

An elderly gentleman in Paris, in search of lodgings, and noticing a card “To Let ”in the window of a house in the Rue Lafayette, inquired at the parlor’s lodge what might be the rent of the vacant apartment, and of how many rooms it consisted. Eyeing him up and down with a scornful glance, the concierge gruffly replied: “Four thousand five hundred francs.. But it won’t suit you.” “Why not?” retorted the applicant; “I want a lodging in this neighborhood, and I am prepared, if necessary, to pay as much as five thousand francs rent.” “I tell you again, it won’t do for you,” growled Cerberus. “Is it so high up, then?” “No; only on the second floor. But it won’t suit you, I say.” “In the fiend’s name why, not?” “Well, any one can see that you are in a wretched state of health, and you must know that there is nothing to which my employer objects so strongly in his house as a funeral?”

A Legislator Out of Place.

The Kentucky Legislature has a man who is out of his place. Barnum ought to have him. According to the Louisville Courier-Journal he can stand on one foot and with the other the pendant of a chandelier over seven feet from the floor ; that is, .he can stand flatfooted (five feet ten inches) and kick an object eighteen inches higher than his own head. A man being asked by his neighbor how his wife did, made this answer : “Indeed, neighbor, this case is pitiful; nay wife fears that she will die, and I fear she will not die—which makes a desolate house.” “Mother, what have people got noses for?” asked an Austin child of her mother who had seen better do.ys. “To turn up at poor folks, my child,” was the cynical response.—Texas Siftings.

FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS.

The Alabama contested-election ease of Lowe vs. Wheeler being under consideration in the House on the Sdinxt, Mr. Springer moved to recommit, with instructions, and placed that motion in the form of a resolution and preamble. The preamble sets forth that a number of so-called depositions offered by the contestant were never certified, and did not show that any of the pretended witnesses were sworn, and that some of the depositions bad been changed since the examination. At this point Mr. Reed objected to the further reading, claiming that the preamble was merely a speech, and made the point of order that it was not proper to be incorporated in a motion to recommit. Mr. Springer declared that he acted in perfect good faitb, and that if the gentleman from Maine (Reed) insisted to the contrary he was acting without the slightest foundation. The Speaker ruled the resolution was not in order, on the ground that portions of the preamble were in the nature of debate. Mr. springer was successful, however, in getting the whole preamble in the Record by appealing from the decision of the chair. The appeal was laid on the table. Mr. Springer then moved to recommit, with instructions to the committee to ascertain the num ben of tissue ballots cast for either Lowe or Wheeler, and to reporta resolution giving the seat to the one having the highest number of legal votes, after rejecting all such tissue ballots. The motion was lost—yeas 91. nays 132—a party vote, except Smith, of Now York, who voted with the Republicans. A resolution deolaring the contestant entitled to the seat was adopted—yeas 149, nays 3 Phelps, and Rice of Ohio) —and Lowe appeared at the bar of the House and took the oath of office. There was no session of the Senate.

The Beggars’ Opera.

Dr. Swift had been observing once to Mr. Gay what an odd, pretty sort of thing a Newgate pastoral might make. Gay was inclined to try at such a thing for same time, bnt aftewards thought it would be better to write a comedy on the same plan. This was what gave rise to the “Beggars* Opera.'* He began on it, and when first he mentioned it to Swift, the Doctor did not quite like the project As he carried it on he showed what he wrote to both of us; and we now and then gave a correction or a word or two of advice, but it was wholly of his own writing. When it was done, neither of us thought it would succeed. We showed it to Congreve, who, after-reading it over, said: “It would either take greatly, or be damned confoundly. ’* We were all, at the first sight of it, in great uncertainty of the event, till we were much encouraged by overhearing the Duke of Argyle, who sat in the next box to us, say, “ It will do—it must do! I see it in the eyes of them !” This was a good while before the first act was over, and so gave us ease soon; for the Duke had a more particular knack than any one living in discovering the taste of the public. He was quite right in this, as usual; the good nature of the audience appeared stronger and stronger every act, and ended in a clamor of applause.— Pope.

"DRAGGING PAINS."

Db. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir: My wife had suffered with “female weaknesses ” for nearly three years. At times she could hardly move, she had such dragging pains. Wo often saw your “Favorite Prescription” advertised, but supposed like most patent medicines it did not amount to anything, but at last concluded to try a bottle, Which she did. It made her sick at first, but it began to show its i ffect in a marked improvement, and two bottles cured her. Youiv.etc., A. J. Huvcx. Deposit, N. Y. An Austin colored preacher, being called upon to mako a few remarks at the grave of a boy, said : “Dcahly belubbid bredrm and sistrin, de day au’ do hour when each an* ebry one ob us mu»’ yield up our spirits am done sot, but if a kind Providence had not made de cowcumbers late dis yar season, dis yar promisin’ boy would hab clomb de golden stair sebral days’ ago. Praise be to de Lord for His goodness and mussy !” Texas Siftings.

SUICIDE MADE EASY.

Let your liver complaint take its own course, and don’t take Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery.” Bold by druggists. Aristocratic distinction: Countess—“ That is the portrait oLthe filth Earl, sometimes called ‘ the somnambulist.’ ” Visitor—“ Er—because, I presume, be—er—walked in his sleep? ” Countess—“ Walked? Certainly not Invariably rode ! ” Db. Tierce’s “ Pellets/’ or sugar-coated granules—the original “ Idtlle Liver Pills ” (beware of imitations) —cure sick and bilious headache, cleanse the stomach and bowels and purify the blood. To get genuine, see Dr. Pierce’s liguature and portrait on Government stamp. 25 cents per vial, by druggists. A man of a literary turn of mind was very fond of his dog, that barked day and night. A neighbor asked what the dog’s name was. “Echo,” was the reply. “What kind, of a name is that?” “It was the name of Ben Vorlich’s dog.” “ Who the mischief is Ben Vorlich ?” The owner of the dog smiled in derision, and replied : “You never could have read Walter Scott’s ‘ Lady of the Lake’, or you would remember where it says : ‘ No rest Ben Vorlich’s Echo knew.’ ” The neighbor did not say anything, but that night he softly called Echo to the fence, gave him a piece of sausage, and now Echo is as silent as Ben Vorlich, and even more so.

Chronic Ailments.

In chronic ailments resulting from fixed bad habits of the body, the removal of the evil, to be permanent, must necessarily be graduat Good health is maintained and nourished by the proper attention to the requirements of the body, and the avoidance of excesses. It is wasted and destroyed by overtaxing the mind with study, anxiety, evil habits, intemperance and vicious indulgences. Keep the body and mind nourished by using that friend of temperance and long life, that Queen of all health resewers, Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, and Nature will assert her mastery over disease. Ask your druggist to get it for you. A Chicago coraet manufacturer turns small accidents in his factory to profitable account. When a work-girl breaks a needle or whalebone costing less than half a cent, he fines her five cents ; for breaking a two-cent bobbin, ten cents ; for a drop of oil on the floor or work, twenty cents; and various sums for tardiness and other misdemeanors, so that the cost of production must be con■iderably lessened by the system. In plants a deficient diet results in an excess of males. M. Born has recently found that in tadpoles a rich, nitrogenous diet favors the development of an excessive number of females. Mbs. Jane Mf.rbyton, of Paris, Ky., writes: “ I have been cured of great suffering, caused by weak lungs and kidneys, dyspepsia, etc. My habits are now very regular, and I find comfort in living. I used only two bottles of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsapardla. ” A member of the Legislature, who voted against the purchase of Huddle’s Eictures of the ex-Governors of Texas y the State, gave the following unique reasons : “ Two hundred and fifty dollars a piece is too much for them oil paintings. Oil ain’t so dear as all that, for I bought some the other day for two bits a quart. Besides, chromos are a heap cheaper. I bought a chromo of Wellington crossing the Alps ; and there was a hoss in the picture, and it only cost $1.50. None of the pictures of these Governors of Texas has got a hoss in it”— Texas Siftings.

When everything else failed*! resorted to your Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and was restored to perfect health. Justin Robinson. A graduate has recently had an opportunity to choose between base-ball and the ministry, and reluctantly enters the pulpit. The truth is, the batsmen are “getting onto” the pitchers, and there is little chance for reputation in the diamond.—Wwc Haven Register. Write to Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass., for names of ladies cured of female weakness by taking her Vegetable Compound. “ Mean !" she cried. “My husband is the meanest wretch in the w>rld.

To Faris by Rail.

To those who object to visit Europe on account of sea sickness, the proposition to build a railroad by which one can go from New York to Paris in fifteen days, by an all-rail route, except forty miles on a steamer, or two hour’s ride, will be interesting. It hardly seems possible that such a tiling can be done, until you read the scheme, which is as follows : “ His line of route, starting from the commercial capital of the g fates, passes through Canada, New Georgia and Alaska to Cape Prince of Wales, whence the passengers are to be conveyed by steamer to East Cape, on the opposite Asiatic coast of Behring’s Straits and distant about forty miles from the northwestern extremity of the American continent From East Cape the iron road to be constructed will cross Russian territory in Northern Asia until it joins the Siberian railway system, already in direct connection, through Moscow and St. Petersburg, with all the European capitals. Mr. Gregory calculates that the distance from New York to Paris, the American paradise, can be traversed by this route in 372 hours, and at a cost of about thirty pounds to each passenger.” The thing seems feasible and will do away with two weeks’ sea sickness, but probably the danger from railroad accidents and corns from fifteen days’ riding in the cars would more than overcome the objection io ocean travel. Still, the chances of discovering the North Pole, by rail, would be worth something. The cost of the proposed railroad would be more millions of dollars than could be carried on all the cars of the present railroads, »but that is nothing. People who are thinking of going to Europe, though, should not wait for the new road, as it may not be completed for some months.— Peck's Sun. Mensman s Peptonized Beef Tonic, the only preparation of boef containing its entire nutritious properties. It con tains blood-making, force-generating and life sustaining properties ; invaluable for indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous prostration, and all forms of general debility; also, in alt enfeebled conditions, whether result of exhaustion, nervous prostration, overwork or acute disease, particularly if resulting from pulmonary complaints.

• KESCL’FD FROM DEATH. William J.Coughlin,of Somerville, Man, says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs, followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. Tbe doctors said I bad a bole in my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Db. William Hall’s Balsam fob the Lungs. I got a bottle, who?, tr. Uiy surprise, I commenced to feel better, and to-day I feel better than for three years past. I write this hoping every one afflicted with diseased lungs will take Db. William Hall's Balsam, and be convinced that consumption can be cubed. I can positively say it has done more good than all the other mediolnea I have taken since my sickness.

HEALTH At this season the health needs careful attention. The blood being weakened and the system run down, dangerous disease is liable to secure a hold that cannot be easily removed. What at first appears to be but slight indisposition,often develops into troubles that may be incurable. At this season the liver becomes inactive, the complexion sallow, pimples appear on the skin, dyspepsia and indigestion affect the digestive organs, &c. What is needed is a complete, reliable and strengthening tonic. Such a medicine is Brown’s Iron Bitters, which, by its great strengthening powers, diffuses new life in the blood, revitalizes the whole system, giving tone to the stomach, muscles and nerves, effectually relieving all weakness and tendency to lassitude. Brown’s Iron Bitters is a true tonic which has been thoroughly tried, is made by a reliable firm, and has the hearty endorsement of the medical profession. It will cure dyspepsia, indigestion, and malaria, and relieve all wasting diseases, such as consumption and kidney affections. As a medicine for those diseases peculiar to women it is without a rival. For sale by all druggists and dealers in medicine. One Dollar a Bottle.
