Never go Empty-Handed. I learnt this capital bit of advice long ago. A dear old aunt said it to some one else, when I was near, and I re membered it. You cannot think how vaetut the hint has been, nor how much trouble and time it saves me. Just notioe what it is we all do from morning to night. Why, we take thinga oat of their places and put them in again,—if we are tidy people,that isl We cannot help doing this. The pots and pans, the cups and saucers, and plates and dishes, must be taken out and used many times daily. Then came the washing tip and setting to rights. It Is so with our books and clothes,and all we have. Well, then, theie must be always something for ready hands to carry up or down. It is a great help in a house if we make it a rule to look round the room, and never go empty handed. This may be a new thought to some of you. Try to act on it for one day, and see if it is not as useful as oil on a rusty wheel. The work gets done like magic in houses where all help father and mother, and try to save them fa tigue. Won't mother's dear eyes brighten when she sees you trying; and won't father be pleased when you aave him journeys up and down by re collecting our wise maxim ! And when you go to see a sick friend or a poor neighbor, take something. A sweet flower, or a comforting text neat ly written by yourself, will make sun shine. If you are really wanting to do good, look up and say often, "Lord help me:" and soon your heart will be as useful and busy as your hands. Only try.—A. M. Y.,in Friendly Greet ings. What He Got by It Showing That it is not Good Policy to Doubt a Man's Word. 'Gome mighty nigh killin' a fine buck dia mawnin',' said an old negro. •Comin' long through de woods an' er eld buck he jump up an' bookerty, bookerty be runs off a few yards an' atop still. Come in one er shootin' him ■ah.' 'Why didn't you shoot ?' •Didn' hab my gun wid me,sail.'! 'Then how did you come within one of shooting him ?' 'Case, sah,l come in one 0' takin' my gua wid me.' •Why didut you take your gun ?' 'Didn' hab none, sab.' •You are an old fool.' •Look beab, doan 'buse er man dat way .when yer ain' got no cause. I ain't got no gun, fur a fe'low dat wuz erbout to buy one from axed me jes' oue dollar could pay. So, I come in one 0' gettin' de gun. Ef I bad er got it I would er tuck it 'long wid me, an' ef I'der had it I could er shot de buck •asy, sah. So doan come 'roun' 'busiu' er man when de facks is all ergin yer. I hab knowed folks ter fetch trouble on dar 'selves dat way. Er pusson ought er be keerful in dis heah woil' o'science an' speckerl&tion. Good mawnin ,' sah. Sinee yer's acted dis way, I wouldernt gin yerjnone 0' de meat ef I bad er kill ed it. 'Fore yer talked dat way I woulder made yer present o' some o' de buck. See whut yer got by it, sah.'— Arkansa to Traveler. The Woes of a Bashful man. •You d-don't know how b-b-bashful I am,'be murmured ; 'The gals just worrit the life outeu me. When I stood up to be married, they all gig gled , and when the minister asked me if I'd take this woman to be my wed ded wife, I said I was 'purty well, thankee, and when he pronounced us man and woman, and said, 'whom God hath joined together let no man rip apart,' I broke down and bawled. Oh I it was horrible ! But that's nothing to what's to come. 'Bout Meven o'clock the old man sez, sez he, 'John, your room's head o' the stairs.' I was so skeered that when I tried to stan' up my legs gin way,and I tell over the dog and got bit in three places. I waited till everybody'd gone to bed then I crawled up stairs like a spoon thief. I was 'fraid to go in, so I sat on the stairs and shivered. 'lt's no use,' sez I, 'what's got to be, hex;' so I shucked of my clothes out in the dark and shet my eyes. Then I made a break for the door. I found the bed and palled the clothes over my bead an' laid on the front rail. In the mornin' I peeked through my fingers to see if I could dress and git away 'foie she woke up, and hang me far a pirate if I wa'nt in bed with the old man and old woman. Oh, I can't go'back. I can't— l oan't,' and the poor thing wept afresh. HAD HIM FOUL. •Say, mister, do you want your valise carried ?' asked a street urchin running after a man going down Fourth street With a yalise in his hand. •No, I don't,' answered the man with a snarl. •I'll carry it to the depot for a dime,' persisted the boy. *1 don't want it carried, I tell you,' Said the man, hurrying along. •Don't you V •No, I don't.' •Well, mister, what the dickens are you caryin' it for ? Why don't you set it down ?' Live for Something. Thousands of men breathe, move and live—pass oft the stage ol life and are heard of no more. Wh v ? They did not a particle of good in the world; and none were blessed by them, none could point to them as the instruments of their redemption ; not a line they wrote, not a word they spoke could be recalled, and so they perished, their light went out in darkness, and they were not remembered more than tl° insects of yesterday. Will you thus live and die, 0 man immortal?— Live for something. Do good and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can never de stroy. Write your name by kindness, love and mercy, on the hearts of the thousands you come in contact with year by year, and you will never be forgotten. Xo, your name your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind, as the stars on the brow of evening. Good deeds will shine as brightly on the earth as the stars of heaven.

ITiee 25 cents a bettle. Travelers are, as a rule, of an inquir ing mind, and not a few are facetiously disposed. One of this latter class, a lighted from his gig one evening at a country inti, was met by the hostler, whom he thus addressed : ik'Young man, immediately extricate that tired quadruped from tho vehicle, staDuhite him, devote to him an ade quate supply of nutritious ailment; and when the aurora or morn shall again illuminate the oriental horizon, I will reward you with a pecuniary compen sation for your amiable and obliging hospitality.' The youth, not understanding a sin gle word of this, ran into the house, crying out, 'Master, come at once. Here's a Dutchman wants to see you.' 'Look here!' called a man, pressing his face against the grates of the city prison and addressing a policeman who stood outside. 'Well ?' 'What was I put in here for anyway?' ' You'll fiud out when tht police court meets.' 'Podner, 1 am a very sensitive man, and the thought that I have committed a crime hauts me. I just tell you whats a fact, I can't stand it. What did 1 do ?' 'Well, if you must know, you got drunk and shot a man.' 'Oh, is that all ? I was afraid that I had insulted some one. Much oblig ed.' "A very homely man, finding his little nephew crying one day, said to him : 'Johnny, you shouldn't cry ; it will make you look homely as you grow old er*' The little fellow gazed earnestly at the speaker for a moment,and then said solemnly : 'Uncle you must haye cried a great deal when you were a little boy.' lAII ■|m°re money than atfanytbing else U|f I flUby taking ail agency for the best WW I |W selling book out. i eglnners Miceeed grandly None fail.

In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fami lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health.
