ORTAm
TO ALL
WHOM IT MAY CGHGLRni
Owing to the great scarcity
of money and tho long con
tinued neglect of many of my customers to
pay up their itidebteduess for the past year
or more, I am compelled to adopt
ANOTHER SYSTEM
of doiug busiuess. Very many of my cus
tomers have allowed their accounts to run
for such an unreasonable length of timo
that a great loss to me, without any beuefit
to themselves, has been the result. Hence
it is that I Cud it
fafossible to Continue tie Credit System
and at the same time keep up my stock
and meet my obligations promptly.
I am sincerely thankful for the liberal
patronage that has been extended to me,
and now earnestly ask one and all who are
indebted to me, no matter how large or
how small the amount, to call and settle,
either by cash or note,
BEfORE THE 1ST DAY OF JANUARY, 1875',
as I need and must have money. Believ
ing as I do from past experience (which I
have paid well for) that it will be better
for me as well as for my customers to adopt
tho ready-pay system,
I WILL not,
After the FIRST of JANUARY NEXT,
K1.L AM CiOODS 0 I'ttEDIT.
I am fully convinced that iu three cases
out of four persons buying goods never find
a moi'o convenient time to pay thau when
they make their purchases, and as an in
ducement to my customers to buy for cash
or in exchange fr country produce, I wilt,
after the above date,
KNOCK OFF ONE-HALF the PROFIT
heretofore realized in this place ou goods
of the sania class.
Hoping that my old customers will take
no o.TpTtse at the new mode of d"itg busi
ness I am about to adopt, but will contin
ue to favor me with their patronage on a
strictly cash basis, which ll.ey will be sure
to fnnl the very best for all concerned, I
pledge myself to mark my goods dowu to
the lowest cash rates.

An tplsode in the Career of Pres. XacSahon.
I.
In Algeria, with Bugeaud,
Harasfied by a crafty foe,
Were the French, iu eighteen hundred
thirty-one ;
Swarthy Arabs prowled about
Camp and outpost and redoubt
Crouching her and crawling there,
Lurking, gliding everywhere,
Tiger-hearted, under stars and under sun,
Seeking by some stealthy chance
Vengeance on the troops of Franco
Vengeance tierce and fell, to sate
Savage rage and savage hate
For the deeds of desolation harsldy done.
ii.
On a rugged plateau,
Forty miles from headquarters of Marshal
Bugeaud,
Lay an outpost, besieged by the merciless
fo.
Day by day close and closer the Arab lines
drew
Hound the hard-beset French.
To dash out and Hash through,
Like a wind-driven flame, they would dare,
though a host
Hot from Hades stood there. But abandon
the post?
Nay, they dare not do that"; they were sol
diers of France,
Aod dishonor should stain neither sabre
nor lance ;
They could bravely meet death, though like
Hydra it came
Horror-headed and dire, but no shadow of
shame
For a trust left to perish when danger drew
nigh
Should ere dim the flag waving free to the
sky.
But soon came a terror more dread to tho
soul
Thau war's wild thunder-crash whon its
battle-clouds roll,
And the heavens ate shrouded from light,
while a glare,
As of hell, breaks iu hot, lurid streams ou
the air !
It was Famine, grim-visaged and
gaunt,
To the camp most appalling of foos
Slew to strike, slow to kill, but full sure
As the swift headsman's deadliest
Llows.
O'er the ramparts it sullenly strode,
(Hided darkly by teut and by wall,
pM-adint awe wheresoever it went,
And the gloom of dismay over all ;
Blighting valor that ne'er iu war's red front
had quailed,
Blaeching checks that no tompest of strife
o'er had paled.
m.
Then a council T-as held, and the com
mandant said
Direst peril was near ; they must summon
swift aid
From the Marshal, or all rvould be lost ere
the sun
Of to-morrow went down in the west. Was
there one
Who, to save the command and tho honor
of France.
Would ride forth with despatches? lie
ceased, and t glance
At the bronzed faces near she wed that spir
its to dare
Any desperate deed under heaven were
ihoe.
But the first to arise and responJ was a
YOU'1
Whose brow bore nature's signet of courage
and truth,
In those e3e Aalor shone calm and clear as
a star
When the winds are at rest and the clouds
fade afar.
Who was he that stood forth with such
resolute air?
Young LieuJcuatit MacMabon, bold, ftee,
dvbiinnaire,
Never knight looked more gallant with
shield and with si tear.
Never war-nurcUied chicft aiu less conscious
ffuar.
In his mien was the hroic I'ash of the Oaul,
With the lire of the Celt giving grandeur
to all ;
And he said, hesd erect, face with tirdor
aglow,
"I will ride with despatches to Marshal
Bugeaud !"
IV.
It is night, and a stil'ness profound
Folds the camp ; Arabs stealthily creep
Here and there in the moonlight, beyond,
With cars eagerly bent for a sound
From tho garrison, watchful and weak;
O'er the tents welcome night-breezes
b weep,
Bringing balm unto brow and cheek
Of. men scorched by a pitiless sun
To a hue almost swarthy and desp
As the hue of the foe they would thun.
Stretching dimly afar,
Between slopesthat are rugged and bare,
Half obscure under moonbeam and star,
Half revealed in the soft, misty air.
Runs a rude, broken way that will lead
ial!ai.t rider and sure-footed steed
Westward forth to the camp of Bugeaud,
Foity miles over high land and low ;
But. the steed must be trusty and fleet,
And the bridlo hand steady and keen
That shall guide him by rock and ravine,
Where each stride of the galloping feet
Must span dangers that slumber unseen;
And beyotrd, scarce a league to the west.
Yawns a treacherous chasm, dark and
deep, ,
Where daath lurks like a serpent asleep,
And the rider must ride at his best,
And his steed take the terrible leap
Like a winged creature cleaving tluatr,
Else a o-rim. ghastly corpse shall be there.
With ".erchance a steed stark on its
breast, ' . ,
And the moiin shall look dowe with a
stare
Where they lie ia perpetual icsU
VI.
Now the silence is broken by neigh andtby
champ
And the clatter of hoofs, and away from
tho camp ,
Bides MacMahou, as gallant, as light, and
as free;
As the bridegroom who goes to his mar
riage may be.
With prance and with gallop and gay caracole
His swift steed bounds along, as if spurn
ing control ;
But the bridle-hand guides him unerring
and true,
And each stroke of the hoofs is thew an
swering thew.
Through the moonlight they go, fading
slowly from sight,
Till both rider and steed s'nk way in the
night.
But they go not unheard, and they epoed
not. unseen ;
Dark eyes furtively watch flashing fierce
ly and keen
From dim ambush around ; thenlike spec
tres arise
Whitesrobed figures that follow ; the rider
discrics
Them on slope and in hollow, and knows
they pursue.
But he fears not their craft or tho deeds
they may do,
For his brav e steed is eager and strong, and
the pace
Growing faster and faster each stride of
the chase.
Now the slopes right and left soem alive
with the foe
Gliding ghost-like along, but still stealthy
and low,
As v.ild creatures that crouch in a juDgle ;
thoy think
To entrap him when back from the tenia
blc brink
Of the chasm he returns, for his steed can
not lea p
The dread gulf, and the rider will hall
w hen its steep
Bagged walls ope before him, with dtsath
lying deep
In the darkness below ; they will seize him,
and take
From his heart, by fell torture of fagot
and stake, j
Every Secret it holds ; ttuu his life-blood j
may flow,
But he never shall ride to the camp of i
Kuc-eaud. !
o
VII.
Still unflinching and free through the moon
light he goes,
And each pulse with the hot flush of ea
ganress glows.
Now a glance at the path where his gal
lant steed flies,
Now a gleam at the weird, spectral forms
that arise
On the dim, rugired slopes, thou still ou
ward and on,
Till he nears the abyss, and its gaping jaws
yawn
On his fight; but the rider well knows it
is there,
And his speed is soon cautiously checked
to prepare
Fcr the desperato leap ; ho must now put
to proof
The true mettle beneath, for tho slip of a
ht--.f
Or a swerve on the brink will dash both
into doom,
Where toe s.iu stars shall watch o'er a
cavernous tomb.
Girth and biidle and stiriup are felt, to be
f ure
That no flaw shall briiig peril aud jdl is
st-caro ;
Then w ith eyes fixed before, and brow
bent to the w intl.
And one thought of tho foe and his com-
lades behind,
And a low, earnest prayer that all heaveu
must heed,
He slacks bridle, plies spur, and gives head
to his steed.
With a bound it responds,, ears set back,
nostrils trid.
And tusii of a thuudar-bred storm ia its
stride !
Now the brink now the leap ! they are
over ! Hurrah !
Horse and ridtjr ave safe, and dash wildly
away ;
Not a slip, not a flinch, swift and suro as
the flight
Of an eagle in mid-air they sweep through
the night,
While the bafliod foo glare in bewildered
amaze
At the fast flying prey speeding far fiora
their gaze ; f
And the soft stars grow dim ia the dawn's ,
early glow I
When MacMahen rides into tho camp of
Bugeaud.
A MA XDA 'S I '11ESEX T.
Mrs. Brown had retired for the night.
It was now near 13 o'clock, but she was
awake and watching. She had gone to
bed at 10, and would have resented with
indignation tho imputation tlmt she had
slept, solemnly declaring that she had nev
er closed bei- eyes, but, nevertheless, cer
tain sounds had now and then come from
under the sheets which indicated that at
all events she had breathed very hard.
She was now awake for a purpose. She
was a woman of purpose- Her cousin's
daughter was about to be married. She
had received invitation to the wedding,
aud was determined ou making her a haud
somc wedding present, and to wedding
presents she knew Mr. Brown had a most
decided aversion.
The cathedral clock struck 12, the chimes
rang out the quarter, then the half hour.
Brown had not come in. She smiled as
she heard a drowsy, sleepy smile ; then
she breathed hard again.
It was election times, and far the last
two mouths Brown had been out nearly
every night. At first ho must go to see
about the nomination, he must work for
the party, go to ward meetings, general
rallies, see that this man and that was
posted, and talk and canvass, and so the
nights passed. Thci came the election.
One night he was not homo at all. After
that the returns kept him away nntil tho
'we sma' hours." Now, the election had
been over a week ; it was next moi -mug, and
he was not at home.
She had been very good-na:vrod and pa
tient over it all ; and staid at home uncom
monly close, attended to her six children.
When Brown does not stay out too l.i-e,
he finds her on his return industriously
sewing. She listened to his excuses with
out a word, aud never scolded. This made
him quail and feel badly. Why she did
ot rly at him he did not uadeistaud.
To-night as he stood upon his door-step
fumbling in his pocket for tho latch-key, j
with a startled sort of feeling, thinking j
what excuse he could make, wondering if '
the old one "Obliged to meet a man on i
business" would do, the clock struck cue.
He thought hardly of it, and he muttered j
hard words under his breath. Was his j
wife awake ? Weuld she notice ho had
been drinking beer? I
Quietly as he came in, Mrs. Brown heard ;
him, for he was on her mind. He stopped j
a moment at his chamber door, opened it ;
iK his stocking feot, started aud dropped
his shoes, as 6he, sitting up iu bed, met
him with :
"Is that yen, Brown? I thought you
would never come ; my head aches so ;
hand me that bottle."
He did as he was bidden, muttering ex
cuses tho while for being bo late ; he was
detained, etc. She did not reply to him.
He felt this ominous, so hastened his pro
ceedings. When the light was out she
turned over and sighed :
"The invitation for Amanda's wedding
has come."
He made no reply.
"I shall be obliged to make her a pres
ent, of course. Her mother made me a
present when I was married."
lie did not speak.
"You have not been in the house long
enough the last two mouths for ma to
speak toyju about this," bhe said sharply,
and wailed for an answer.
"Presents cost money."
"Of course they do ; so do elections."
He turned uneasily.
"We must make her a present, and a
bandsetno one, too ; I owe her one."
"You made a bargain, did you?"
"If you choose to c:dl it that. I am not
going to be put upon, Mr. Brown, nor am
I going to be made to appear mean. Mrs.
Smith and Mrs. Jones will give her some
thing, and more will be expected of me, a
relative. I am not got going to see my
namo iu tho paper tacked to a piucuhion,
I can tell you."
Mr. Brown eoftly snored.
She had struck the first blow, and would
put in a wedge and leave it.
"You thiuk it costs money to do as you
should do by my relations, but it don't cost
anything to be out every night for two
months drinking beer, eating suppers, and
spending tino trying to get .Job Stevenson
elected, and not doiug it after all, while I
staid at home and took care of tho children,
who had hardly known they had a father.
It is my turn now. If you can peud oti
elections I can spuud on a wedding pres
ent." This was spoken viciously and determin
edly, as she jerked tho bedclothes and
turned her back to him.
Mrs. Brown was up early the next morn
ing. S!e was dowu whilo he still slept,
saw that the dinoingMoom was comforta
ble, tho table nicely set, and ordered his
favorite dish, seeing herself to tho coffee,
about w hich she was part icul.ir. She heaid
him moving. She took a look in the glass
to be suro her collar was neatly arranged
and her hair all right; then, with a little
book in her hand, entered their bed-room.
Brown was drawing on his boots.
"Is breakfast ready ?" he asked, as she
opened the door.
"It will 15 i'i a fc-w moments." She
took a seat by the window. "I have some,
thins to read to you." She opened th
book.
"September--Mr. Brown left home at 0
o'clock in the evening and returned at It.
"September Mr. Brown went out be
fore breakfast, came home at ix to dinner,
left at twe minutes of 7. I went to bed
quarter past ten, aud he had not returned."
At first in astonishment, not knowing
what was coming (Brown had stopjx-d pull
ing on his boot to listen), he stamped heav
ily in them while he jerked down his panta
loons. She quietly read through Septem
ber. "October 1. Mr. Brown did not got up
until breakfast was ou the table. (Mr.
Brwn soused his face in the water, rubbed j
bib head and ears lustily, and did not hear.)
Mr. Brown came home at 6 t dinner;
Mr. S. called for him, and they went oat
together. He came in at five minutes
to 12."
"October 3. Mr." Brown winced as
be dragged the comb through his head,
seized the brush, used it once or twice,
threw it in tho corner of the room, and
turned to get his handkerchief. Mrs.
Brown paused in her reading.
"I have kept a regular account, Mr.
Brown, aud in two months, Sundays in
cluded, except when asleep, you have
upent only eighteen hours and twenty min
utes with your family, whilo I have re
mained at home and slaved for them, aud
now I cannot make my cousin a wedding
present because it w ill cost money. Very
well, I shall v, rito to my mother to come
aud keep houe for me. I sba'.l go to the
wedding and stay and pay Amanda a visit."
Tho house shook with the slam Mr.
Brown gave the door as he went out.
When fhe reached the dining-room he
was seated at tho tablo. His appetite was
excellent, and he enjoyed his broakfast
4i.n was Kfift-voiced. auiii.blc. talked a
great deal t the children. It was late
when tho meal was over. Brown hunicd j
up stairs, hurried down and closed the ,
front door after him, opened it aga'n and j
called out, "You had better Ro to T ,
to buy that present.
Tell him to scud tho
bill to the store."
He had no cause to complain of his din
ner or his wife's amiability during the next
week.

Moral courage is a big thing. Ail the
good papers advise ever body to have
moral courage. All the almanacs wind up physicians of Sarftuvra "r-d vicinity w . re eoa
with a woni about moial courage. The puitt,j nruj stib.j aetiVly Dr. Mt l.- n, if

"Ilave the courage to dischaige a debt veuience than t!:e difficulty in nva.u-w i"
while you have the money in your pocket" w'me mcn'ioncd. Ahjut a year hc a M: .
is one of the "moral paragraphs." Cain; !oil, of Wot Troy, met with a siun-aC
Mr. Mower read this once, aud deter- inisf rtunc in swallowing his teeth, which
mined to act upon it. Oue day Lis wife alo lodged in the esophagus. Dr. M- Itti

and had the courage to pay him. Kcturu
ing home his w ife called him lo7,000 jct
names, such as "ftol," "idiot," etc., and
theu struck him four times iu the pit of
the stomach with a flat -iron. After that
he did n't have as much moral courage as
would make a leaning post fr a :ick grass
hopper, and his wife did n't forgive him
for thirteen years.
"Have the ceurage to tell a mau why
yon refuse to credit Liui" is another para
graph. That means if you keep a store
ami old Mi. Putty comes iu and wauls a
pound of tea charged you must piompt'y
respond :
"Mr. Put'y, jour iredit at this slot-e is
n't worth the powder to blow a mosquito
over a tow-sti 'ing. You are a fraud of the
first water, Mr. Putty, aud 1 would u't
trust you for a herring's head if Leiiing
were selling at a cent a box."
Mr. Putty will never ask you for credit
again, and you wiil have i he consciousness
of having performed your duty.
"In providing an entertainment have
the courage not to go beyond your means"
is another paragraph. If your daughter
wants a party and you are t-hort do n't bo
lavish. J.'oi row sme chair;-, tnake.ibciu.il
of a bo.tid aod two p;i ils, and some molas
ses and watei nielo'i. and till the i ro.vd to
g.i'hcr around tho festive boa id and par
take. They wiil appreciate yvar tootal
courage if not your banquet.
'Have courage to show your iesiect for
honesty'" is another. That is, if yon hv.r
of anybody who picket! tip a live dollar
bill and restored it to its owner, take hi:n
by the hand and say : "Mr. K.ttnbo, let i:io
compliment you on being an honest inun.

spoke the truth. He said :
-Mr. Hangmoney, when I was up town
to-tlT-'j- I heard Bilker stj you were a regu
lar old hedgehog with a tin ear."
"What I" roared the old g-jut.
"And C levis said that you wcio meaner
than a dead dog rolled in taubaik." con
tinued tho truthful Ltd.
"You imp you villidu !" roared the old
man.
"And Kingston sa'd that you were a
bald-headed, cross-eyed, cheating, lying,
stealing old skunk uuder the hen-coop !"'
added the boy.
Then old Mr. llauginoncy ft: I upon the
truthful Pctei, and he mopped tho floor
with him, knocked his heels against tho
wall, tore his collar tii", and put his shoul
der ut of joint, all because tli.lt boy had
tiivs moral courage to tell the truth.
Aud there was young Tot boy it was
the same way with him. He had the mor
al courage to go over to an old maid and
say :
"Miss Fallsair, father t-a.ys he never saw
such a withered up old Hubbard tquus'i
as you are around trying to trap a ma'i 1"
"lie did, eh?" mused tho old maid,
rising up from hor chair.
"Yes, and mother says it's a t.i ri.iiig
shame that you call yourself twenty-four
when you are foiiy-ccn, and she hays
our hair-dye cost-s more than our wood ?"
"She said that, d:d bhc?" murmured
the female.
"Yes, and sister Jano says that if sho
had such a big mouth, such freckles, such
big feet, and such silly ways tJ.o'd Want
the lightning to strike her !"
And then tho ohl maid pickeii up the
rolling-pin and sought the louse in which
Towboy resided, and knocked down and
magged out until it was a hospital. Then
Towbo's father mauled him, his mother
pounded, him, and his wstcr denuded him
cf hair all because he had moial courage
in his daily life. Cotiiic MuiiH.ly.
