STRANGE STORY.

Simon Boer*’ Singular Story Serloualy Scandalfadng Susan Sykes. Sometime since Simon Suggs started South, sight-seeing. Suffering slight sun-stroke, Simon sought some shady strippet. Spying Susan Sykes, symmetical seraph, sweet sixteen, sitting side some sparkling streamlet, singing sweetly siren songs, Simon stopped. Strolling silently, saluting Susan, Simon said: “Susan Sykes, sensible seclusive, selection, studying stereography, seismology, seismography, selenography?” Susan seemed surprised. Starting suddenly, she said: “Simon Suggs!” Simon said: “Sure/” She said: “ Susan’s studying steganography, Simon.” Standing side Susan, Simon said: “Sweet seraph, sing some succinct,suggestive sonnet stylishly.” Simon said something sentimental. Susan, smiling, said: “Stop such stuff, Simon.” Simon said: “Susan, swains seldom speak such sentiments sportively.” Susan seemed serious; stammering, she said: Si-Simon, Simon, speak so-softly, slo-slowly, something steals st-st-strangSly.” She swoons. Such scepes scared Simon. Supplying some specific she Soon seemed spry. Sitting supinely, Susan, soliloquizingly, said: “Silly, silly.” Simon, still solicitous, suggested: “Stop sifch speculative sophistry, Susan. Shallow sdme sweetmeats, something strengthening, substantial—soup, sandwiches, sausage, souse, jVf Susan smiled. ; “Shame, Simon 'Blaine; 'Suppose sensitive stomachs stand such: stuff?” Say-sinapism. Simon seemed so singuine sitting side Susan. She, somewhat self-willed, startled Simom Simon said: “Sweetheart, strictly speaking, suppose some sycophant should seek Susan ?” Susan said: “Should say, stop, sir; Simon Suggs, seniority, seals—” Simon stopped Susan, saying, “Splendid, splendid. Susan, say, ‘spliced.’” Susan said: “Simon, see Sykes, Sr., shortly.” •< Simon saw Sykes, Sr., said: “Seeking spouse, sir?” Sykes, Sr., said: “Susan.” Simon said: “Bo?” Sykes, Sr., said: “’Spose, so, Simon.” Simon said: “Susan, sire says, ’spose so.” Susan smiled. Simon said: “September second.” Susan said: “So.” Simon sought ’Squire Solomon Smith’s services. September second several Smiths, Suggs, Sykes, selected specially, sought Samuel Sykes, senior’s, spacious stone structure. ’Squire Smith, standing, said: Simon Suggs, Susan Sykes solemnly spliced. Simon salute Susan. Saluting Susan Simon said: “Splendid.” ’Squire Smith said: “Spondulicks, Simon.” Simon said: “So.” ’Squire Smith suggested: “Seventy shillings silver.” Simon said: “ ’Squire Smith, specie’s short. Sorry Simon’s suspended.” ’Squire Smith said: “Sportingspendthrift. ” Samuel Svkes, Sr., said socially: “Supper.” Some scrambled, several squeezed sideways, spoiling skirts, smashing spittoons, silver service. Supper served serenely, some smoked, some suggested soiree, some sought sleep. Society separated. Sincerely. S.

Savings For Old Age.

No one denies that it is wise to make provision for old age, but we are not all agreed as to the kind of provision it is best to lay in. Certainly we shall want a little money, for a destitute old man is, indeed a sorry sight; yes, save money, by all means. But an old man just needs that particular kind of strength which young men are most apt to waste. Many a foolish young fellow will throw away on a holiday a certain amount of nervous energy which he will never feel the want of until he is 70 and then how much he will want it! It is curious, but true, that a bottle of champagne at 20 will intensify the rheumatism of three-score. It is a fact that overtaxing the eyes at 14 may necessitate the aid of spectacles at 40 instead of 60. We advise young readers to be saving of health for their old age, for the maxim holds in regard to health as to money—“ Waste not, want not.” It is-the greatest mistake to suppose that violation of the laws of health can escape its penalty. Nature forgives no sin, no error; she lets off the offender for fifty years sometimes, but she catches him at last, and inflicts the punishment just when, just where, and just how he feels it most. Save up for old age, but save knowledge; save the recollection of good and noble deeds, innocent pleasures, and pure thoughts: save friends, save love. Save rich stores of that kind of wealth which time cannot diminish nor death take away.

Trying to “Mash” a Deaf Mute.

The train sped over the track at the rate of forty miles an hour, but somehow each hour had sixty minutes ip it, just as usual, and time hung heavy on his soul. He was a Harvard student bound for Boston on the Old Colony railroad. Presently, at one of the waystations, a pretty young lady entered the car and sat down near the delighted student. Instantly he was wide awake, and devoted all his energies to engaging the admiring attention of the fair one. First he pushed the blind up and down noisily in order to attract her attention. Thinking he- had secured this; he opened a morning paper, and, reclining gracefully, pretended to read. In reality he stared steadily at his charmer, and whenever she chanced to raise her eyes she found the student looking at her. Their eyes met; he poured his whole soul into one bewildering, captivating glance; she blushed slightly and turned nervously, in her seat, but in that delicious instant when he gazed into the limpid depths of her blue eyes he fancied he saw there the reciprocation of his own interest. With increasing confidence his attitude became more imposing and beautiful, and when the train reached Boston he considered his conquest assured. But in the meantime? the carfull had “caughfon” td the student’s scheme, anii one of the passengers who knew th 6 ydung lady passed around the word that fun was coming. So when the party stepped on the platform the student proceeded in the presence of a large and interesting audience. StepEing elegantly up to the pretty girl, e said briskly: “I beg your pardon, but I am sure we must have met before. Did I not have the pleasure of seeing you at Judge Smith’s reception last week? May I assist you with the bundle ? Fine day, is it not?” But the maiden walked demurely on, never so much as blushing or turning her head. Taken somewhat by surprise, the would-be masher hesitated, stammered, but continued: “I thought possibly you might remember my face; lam sure I have seen you before. We had a very enjoyable time at the ball last eve, didn’t we?” As the same result was experienced from this attempt, he boldly stepped in front of her and, raising his hat, began: “I beg your pardon, Miss—’’but he stopped suddenly; she was looking pityingly at him and making signs to him in the deaf and dumb alphabet. “Oh, holy cuspidof! if that isn’t another piece of Harvard luck!” he gasped, and bolted for a horse-car. The story leaked out, and now you can tell that student by the appearance of suppressed profanity that steals over his face when any one happens to twist his fingers or move his hand in an unusual way.

Clubs Have Changed.

“Want a hundred dollars this morning?” echoed the Governor, as he wheeled around on his 29-year-old son. “Why, sir, I gave you SSO only yesterday !” “Yes, father, but belonging to a fashionable club is eipenfeivo" - * you know.” “I don’t know nothing of the sort, sir! When I was a young man I"belonged to the Apollo Clul). It included the cream of the city, and my expenses weren’t $25 per year.” “Yes, father, but clubs are run differently now.” , “They are, eh? Well, I can’t help that. If a lot of you fellows can’t hire a room over a tannery, put in six lamps, two dozen chairs, three fiddles and a checker-board, and enjoy yourselves in rational manner as we did, you had better pass your evenings posting up my books. Fashionable club! Hundred dollars! I’d like to see you get it!”— Wall Street News. ®

A Perfect Gentleman.

“Who is the man who has just gone out?” asked a globe trotter of a barkeeper in Deadwood City. “That,” replied the gin jerker, ”that’s a perfect gentleman—one of the most perfect gentlemen in the camp.” “Indeed!” said the surprised stranger. “You bet he is; why, the other night over at Jack Bowie’s game he killed a man for something or other, and the next day he paid the undertaker’s bill out of his own pocket, and sent the widow a barrel of flour. It’s true, he made a big winning, and all that, but how many men do you meet nowadays with a great big heart like that ? He’s a perfect gentleman, sir!”— San Francisco Post.

Power of Electric Lights.

The heat from an arc electric lamp of 100-candle power is from 57 to 158 heat-units, that of the incandescent lamp of equal brilliancy from 290 to 536. The argand gas-burner is the next best light in point of coolness, but this is represented by 4,860 heatunits, a colza oil lamp by 6,800, a flat wick petroleum lamp by 7,200, a paraffine candle by 9,200, and a tallow candle by 9,700. Light for light, therefore, the heat of an electric arc lamp under the most favorable circumstances is to the heat of tallow as 1 to 170.

A Lansing Man Rose Early.

Old Mr. S came sauntering down to the front gate a night or two ago and interrupted a long conversation' between his daughter and a very intimate male friend. “Why, pa,” inquired the damsel, “ain’t you up late ?” “Just got up,” said the old gentleman, shortly; “thought I’d come out and see the sun rise. * And then the son rose from the rustic bench and sadly hied him homewards. —Lansing Journal. 7 . ... ■— We sleep, but the loom of life never stops; and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up to-morrow.— Henry Ward Beecher. England hanged Jemmy O’Brien in 1798, and she has banished James Carey in 1883.

Dancing Denounced.

Not a few Christiana are continually asking the question: “What harm is there in dancing? I read in the Bible of people dancing who were good people. What harm can it be ?” I believe it is a great evil, and is doing more to demoralize church and society than the Christian mothers who are training their children for the ballroom have any idea, and, while I see no reason why Christians should engage in dancing, I see many why they should not. I. It is nowhere commended in the Bible. ' ‘ 2- Although engaged in by men and women of God at times and under the old dispensation, it was never sdught as a pleasure as now, but was one of the ways they praised God in the time of victory. 3. The sexes did not dance together as now. 4. The New Testament tells of but one case of dancing, and that in purpose is more like the dancing nowadays than any other, dadoing in the whole Bible. This danairig, which was engaged .in, by the daughter of one of the wicked women of the Roman empire, resulted to the death of John the Baptist , 5. Dancing is not done in the name of the Lord. Paul says do all things in the name of the Lord. 6. Dancing is reveling, and paiil says they who tfo- ‘such things -shall not inherit the Kingdom. 7. It is heathenistic. The less of civilization a nation has, the more of dancing. i * J ' l 8. It leads to expensive and gorgeoiis dress. 9. It .unfits the mind for reflection. 10. It leads to the violation of the laws of health, among which is thegreat loss of sleep and too mtich exercise. 11. It keeps people up all night who are too delicate to sit up with the sick or dying for one hour. 12. The ministers of the gospel can not engage in it without doing serious damage to the religion of Christ. 13. Our Savior did not dance. 14. The apostles and early Christians did not dance. 15. Dancing is of ill-repute. 16. No one dying sends for a dancingmaster to comfort him. 17. No good dancer wants it placed on his tomb-stone when dead that “he was an expert dancer.” 18. No one dances in memory of a departed friend. 19. It creates or fosters a love for the fatal cup. 20. It tolerates a freedom between the sexes, both immodest and often resulting perniciously. 21. Hundreds of blasted characters can date the first step of their ruin to their first visit to the ball-room. 22. It creates a jealousy between man and wife, between lover and lover. 23. It requires no brains to be a dancing-master. 24. It weakens a person morally. 25. It weakens his influence for good. 26. It is a useless art. 27. No Christian can attend balls and keep unspotted from the world. 28. We cannot let our light shine at the ball-room. I 29. Dancing is not a healthful exercise. ’ 30. We are to glorify God to <tor bodies and spirits. Can we dp it by dancing?—ffiev. D. R. Wilkins, of Baltimore. . >

A Surpliced Reporter.

“You know Joe Howard, of I couse ?” asked the reporter., “Joe! Joe! Do you know a man in the profession in the United States th»o does not know Joe ?” “Gay boy?” fi, ; “Gay? Well, seriously, Joe is dne of the most brilliant of American journalists. Queer, generous to a fault, and always conscientious, but ready, versatile, and ever entertaining —George Alfred Townsend’s only rival. No, Joe wants one fact on which to base an article; George does not want any. Jo» never gets left. “Once the Times sent him to report an important ceremony in Trinity Church. Joe was late. The house was jammed. The boys in the two pews allotted to the reporters had noticed the absence of the representatives of the Times. But suddenly one nudged another, saying, ‘Look up there.’ And there was Joe in the chancel with the clergy, surpliced, and intoning with the rest. “Joe afterward explained that, finding it impossible to get in the house and do his work, he looked around and found a rear door, and seeing men dodging in and boys throwing a surplice over' their shoulders, he followed suit, and let them supply him with the vestment cloth. He was thus able to make his report.”— Chicago Daily News.

Sam Patch’s Death.

The business or industry of going over water-falls and maelstroms was started in this country many years ago by a simple-minded fellow named Samuel Patch, who lived at Pawtucket, R. I. While at work on the roof of a high building that stood beside the Blackstone river, at the head of the Pawtucket falls, Patch slipped, and, seeing that he must go, jumped with all his might into the raging torrent. A few moments later he landed safely some distance below the cataract. There was a deal of talk about the exploit, then deemed a marvel, and Patch took it into his head that jumping falls would be a paying business. He tried it successfully in many places, but tried it once too often. An old ballad says: ’Twas at the falls of Genessee That Sam made his last dive; Headlong he plunged into the flood And ne er come out alive. But tradition records that Sam had partaken too ffeely of his favorite beverage, rum, before essaying the fatal leap, and that the responsibility of his failure belongs not to water, but to the popular stimulant which he so much affected. The mother of Samuel Patoph survived him many years, living at fairtucket in respectable widowhood,"Mid often relating to visitors the story oilier son’s strange career.

No Secrete from Science.

The doctor arrives at the hospital to make his daily visit of inspection, and recievee the ticket of a new patient, “X, musician in a German band; pulmonary consumption.” He proceeds to the patient’s bedside, surrounded by his admiring class. “Well, my good fellow, you spit blood, don’t you? “Yes, doctor, I” — “That’ll do; we know all about it And you have sold sweats at night, eh?” “Yes, sir, and” — “I fancy now that by occupation you are a musician?” I play—” “Be silent. You belong to a brass band, and you have over-exerted yourself—have fairly blown your lungs away puffing into your instrument. Gentlemen, you perceive that sickness has no secrets from science. What instrument do you play upon, my good man?” “The cymbals, sir.” Consternation on the doctor’s part, and amusement of the students.

Shaken With Convulsive Tremors.

Then parched with fever, then well nigh dissolved in clammy sweat. Is not the repetition of such a course of horrors every few days enough to wreck the strongest constitution. Undoubtedly. Even when sufferers from fever and ague and bilious remittent succeed in overcoming these diseaees, it takes long to repair their ravages. That popular and effective remedy for the malarial pest and its standard preventive, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, not only eradicates it, but builds up a system worn and enfeebled by its periodical attacks. Nor is there a surer safeguard against miasmatic diseases than this genial regulator and tonic. For disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, organs as a rule hurtfully affected by impure water and unaccustomed diet, it is a speedy and thorough means of relief. It is equally to be depended upon by invalids who resort to it for its invigorating effects, and to remedy dyspepsia, rheumatic and kidney troubles. It improves appetite as well as the ability to gratify it without subsequent discomfort. “I always have sense enough to know when to stop drinking,” remarked Sandy. “I thought you generally stopped because you hadn’t cents enough to keep on,” said Zena& Blood-Poisoning—An Alarming Discovery. Half the people are suffering and may die from this fatal complaint Biseases of the kidneys and liver tie the principal causes. As a cure we can only recommend German Hop Bitters.— Journal of Health.

The Peculiar Old Mystery! It was one of the peculiarities of the old-fashioned Doctors tnat they never would tell patients what they were prescribing for them.

Blanchard, Lowe. 1, Mass., is but one cf the thousand remarkable cures that ar* being made by this wonderful medicine.

I wasformerly employed on the Boston and Lowell railroad, but was obliged, owing to the constahfi jar, to give up the rallr< ad business, as many o hers have been obliged to do, on account of kidney disease. I have tried many medicines, but received no permanent relief. A friend recommended me to use Hunt’s Remedy.
