,A writer observes that ho has known
ono such to turn a steamboat excursion
Into an occasion of gloom and despond
ency. Had you, sir," said Ilenry Ersklne
to a dilatory carpenter, "been thero to
build tho ark, wo should not havo had
the flood yet."
"How on earth do you manage?"
asked a gentleman tho other day of two
inseparable loungers. "You are always
together, you never do anything, and
yet you always have plenty of money."
"Simplest thing In the world, my dear
fellow," was the candid reply: "Wo
borrow of one another."
Tho Danbury man thus briefly re

"The englno consists simply of the boil

Sometimes you Imagine that It consists

A man bought a horse. It was tho
first horse he over owned. lie saw lu a
newspaper that a side window In a
stablo makes a horse's eye weak on
that side; a window In front hurts his
eyes by tho glaro; a window behind
makes him squint-eyed; a window on a
diagonal line makes b(m shy when ho
travels; a stablo without a window
makes him blind. So he sold the horse.
Getting rid of owls. An old farm
er who was troubled by owls that Inva
ded his hennery got r(d of them In a
rather novel manner. One night he
ground a scythe blade very keen, spilt
a long pole at tho top, Inserted tho blade,
and holstod tho pole. Tho birds of
wisdom never lit on this but once. Ono
gallon of owl-toes were picked up next
morning, and tho farmer has not lost
a hen sljicp.
In a certain vlllago not far away,
lived a very honest farmer, who hav
ing a number of men booing In a field,
went to see how his work went on.
Finding ono of them sitting still, he re
proved him for Idleness. Tho man an
swered, "I thirst for the spirit." Grog,
you mean, I suppose," said the farmer;
"bpflf tho Blble.tcaches you to thirst

A gentleman at Lt&o Gcorgo,after
waving his handkerchief for halt an
hour or nioroat aujjunknown lady,
whom discovered at a distant point
on tho shore, was encouraged by a warm
rosponso to his signals to approach his
charmer. Imagine his feelings when,
on drawing nearer, ho saw that It was
his own dear wife whom ho had left at
the hotel but a sliprt time before.
"Why, how remarkable wo should hve
recognljcd each other at such a dis
tance," exclaimed both In tho same
breath; and tneu they changed the sub
ject. At Fair Oaks, whllo standing In
tho very tempest of death, with his
sword uplifted In command, Gen. O. 0.
Howard had his right arm carried away.
The night, after Howard had suffered
amputation, and was lylnc spent and
racked with pain In a box car which
(was to tako him to Washington, Kear
ney, who had lost his Ieft;ami in JexI
co, drow near, and looking In tho car,
said: "Howard, old boy, I'm sorry for
you sorry with all my heart; but, How
ard, I have just thought of something,
When you get to Washington, Duy a
pair of gloves; send mo tho right and
keep tho left for yourself, and I will
dlvldo tho cost with you, nnd hereafter
wo will live more economically." And,
turning away, Kearney muttered :
"That Is better for him than praying,
and theuIIoward can beat me praying
any way,"
Of Mrs.'IIenry Ward Beecher, it Is
said that she Is ruddy faced, with a pro
fusion of gray halr.and somewhat stout
In figure. Ono summer Mr. Beecher
had gnuo to l'eeksklll In advance of his
wife, who remained in Brooklyn to see
that tho house was left In proper condi
tion for tho vacatlou. A new coach
man was hired in l'eeksklll who had
never seen Mrs. Beecher, and on tho
day of her expected arrival he was sent
to tho station to fetch her home. After
a time ho returned alone, and In an
swer to Mr, Ifeecuer'a Inquiries he said
that Mrs. needier did not come on tho
train. "That's Impossible," said the
astonished parson; ''sho telegraphed
this morning that she would tako the 3
o'clock train, Did no one get out at
tho station?" "JYb ono except du old
Irishwoman." "Go right back," said
Mr. Beecher, ''and fetch the Jrlsbwo,

roraovo tho cnuso of disease, and
tho patient rocovcrs his health. They
pro tho great blood purifier anil a
jlfo-glving priuclplo, a perfect Reno
vator and luviporator of tho eystom.
Never before in tho history of tho world
has a lucdiciuo been compounded pos

No Person can tako theso Bit

bones aro not destroyed by- mineral
poison or other means, and vital or

Bilious, llcmittcnt, nnd In

prevalent in tbo valloya of our groat
fivors throughout tho Unltod States,
especially thoso of tbo Mississippi,
Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,

with their vast tributaries, through
out our entiro country during tho
Summer and Autumn, and remarka
bly so during seasons of unusual
eat and dryness, aro invariably ac
companied by ostensivo derango
mcnts of tho stomach and liver, and
Other abdominal viscera. In .their
troatmoiit, a purgativo, oxorting a
powerful iufluenco upon thoso vari
ous organs, is essentially necessary.
Thoro is no cathartic, for tbo purpose
equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar
Bitters, as thoy will speedily remove
tho dark-colorod viscid matter with which
tho bowels aro loaded, at tho samo timo
stimulating tho secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy func
tions of tho digestivo organs.
