THE CELEBRATED
MITCHELL FIRM Al SPRIN& MM.
ESTADLISilED FOR
I have now on hand and offer for sale, at crcatly reduced
prices for the next ninety days, the very best
WAGON FOR GENERAL USE,
Manufactured in the United Statesmade by Mitchell, Lewis
& Co., Limited, llacine, "Wisconsin. Any person acquainted
with the superior points of the Celebrated
MITCHELL WAGON,
Which I am now selling, will certify to my statement that
they are the VERY BEST Farm Wagon made. They are in
crprirral use now in nearlv everv country on the face of the
globe, and are adapted to every variety of climate. It is ac
knowledged by all to be the best proportioned, best ironed,
best finished, and lightest running wagon made. I present a
few facts that should be read by every farmer, about the Mitch
ell Wagons :
1st. Great care is taken in selecting only the best timber
that grows, which is cnt at the proper season of the year and
piled under sheds until thoroughly seasoned. 2. The thimble
skeins are much heavier than any other skeins in use and are,
therefore, less liable to break. 3. The hubs are dodge-mortised,
which makes the strongest and most durable wheel that
can be constructed. 4. The patent box-coupling, used only by
this Company, prevents the wearing and weakening of the
axle. 5. The MITCHELL WAGON stands to-day at the
head and front of all competitors, and is known far and wide
as the strongest and most durable, unequaled m quality and
finish, and "monarch" of the road wherever known and used.
Don't fail to give me a call, and see the wagon lor yoursell !
Remember, for the next NINETY DAYS I am selling these
wagons at greatly reduced prices. It will pay you to buy of me
and to buy now ! Prices furnished on application.

TO A XEW BRIDE.
You little guess the lonesomenest that's com
ing o'er my life,
When
en you have left the farm and me to be!
Will Johnson's wife : !
But I suppose my mother felt just so, when
from ber side,
Your father came one summer Jay to carry
home his bride.
Ah, me ! how happy hal 1 been if Provi
dence bad spared
My good old man to see this day, and all
' my feeling shared ;
But, thee, I would not bring him back, not
even if I might,
Nor change one crook that's in my lot, for
what God does is right
But as I sit alone and think, I see some
things Id change ;
I might bare made him happier; then do
not think it strange
If I should speak some warning words to
?ave yon, if I may.
From making thoughtless, sad mistakes, to
bring clouds o'er your way.
So just remember, Hannah, dear, that.
though you're pretty bright.
It may be very possible yon'll not be always
right;
Perhaps when you are fretting oer some
other body's sin.
You'll find that the fault was all your own
if yoa would look within.
As when we washed the window panes to
gether face to face.
So that the smallest spot or stain wonld find
no rating place-
You would insist, however, hard to make
you see I tried.
That every spot was mv fault when 'twas
really on your side.
And, Hannah, oh ! be uuicnt if yoa find
Will sometimes slow.
Your wits Bash out like lightning streaks.
as swift tc come and go ;
Now, lightning is a handy thing in stormy
nights, 'tis true, '
But after all a sta.-iv shine is kind o' useful
too.
And if there's any difference comes 'twixt
your good man and you,
Don't s:op to ask whose fault it is; the only
way to do
Is just to take the thing in hand and try
with all your might.
Before it grows too big to change, to fix it
up all right.
You know the donnh. when first 'tis set, is
molded as we will,
But when 'tis baked, we cannot change its
shape for good or ill ;
So now, when you are starting out in your
new home, is just
The time to see what ways you'll set to
harden into cnut.
But, dear, you'll not succeed alone, no mat
ter how you try ;
You'll have to go down on yonr knees and
ask help from on high.
We soap ana rub, and boil and rinse, but af
ter all, yoa know.
It takes heaven's son to make the clothes as
white as new fall'o snow.
ATOM I'KNSATIOX.
It was one of tLe loveliest ol Sep-
teinber days. Clear and glittering,
like the ribbon of silver, the river
wound at the foot of velvet banks.
and through fern carpeted dells.
where rustic bridges spanned its
shining surface, and art was suffi
ciently cultivated to allow nature to
remain undisturbed. In fact as Mrs
Mountjoy herself ccniplateutlj re
marked, it would be impossible to
have had a finer day for her croquet
breakfast, if the whole year had been
sought through for it
The grounds were full of superbly
dressed saunierers. Some few ofthe
younger and more enthusiastic de
voted themselves to the theory and
practice of hall and mallet some
danced ia the pavillion whose bright
striped awninit fluttered in the biteze
and horns and violins made a merry
refrain some flirted ia the hidden
gloaoa of overhanging beech boughs,
and some Bat on rustic benches and
talked of tbe beauties of nature.
Mrs. Severance, however, was
more practical than some ofthe oth
ers. She had seated herself in a
shady nook and was languidly par
taking of iced champagne, pates de
foie gras.and lobster salad, with her
boy a handsome, haughty little fel
low of S or 9, in a velvet suit and
buttons of gold.
"It is so crowded in the breakfast
tent," she said, elevating her black
brows. "One couldn't think of eat
ing there ! Claude, dear, will you
have a little more wine or a bit id
the boned turkey ? Keally, darling
you have no appetite at all."
"Tlie oyster patties are quite god
dear Mrs Severance," said Mrs.
Mountjov, obsequiously. Mrs. Sev
erence, be it known was the great
lady of the occasion. "Can't I per
suade you to try one ?"
"Say yes, mamma," clamored
Master Claude, whose appetite ap
parently grew by what it fedjon. " I
want an oyster patty, mamma !"
And the waiter was accordingly
dispatched for the last named dainty.
Ashe disappeared under the shad
ow of the trees a dark-faced woman,
with great gilt hoops in her ears and
an outlandish fonign drest, came up
a mandolin in her arms, and a tat
tered, big-eyed child following close
at her heels. .. .......
"Kind lady, good lady she began,
in the high pitched, monotonous
tone of her trade, "let roe play you
a bar.and Carita shall dance. Come,
Carita!"
At these words the child began to
sunn? about like a small human
erasshopper. the woman twanged
away at her tuneless instrument, and
Mrs. Mountjoy looked indignantly
around.
"Where did these creatures come
from ?"she demanded. "How could
they possibly have come in wnen
there is a policeman stationed at the
gate ? Saunders." to a servant, "put
tnem out at once."
The woman began loudly to bee,
whine and remonstrate; the little
girl with tbe big eyes stopped danc
ing; and scudded behind her mother's
tattered skirts. Mrs. Severance drew
her pearl-colored moire dress closer
to her, as if there was polution in
tbe very atmosphere, and Master
Claude suddenly cried out :
"She's stole ma's embroidered
handkerchiei and scent bottle. Look,
Look ! its right under her shawl 1"
The woman turned suddenly
around: j
"I did not steal it !" said she. "I'm
no thief! I never knew when 1 4

"A likely story," said Mrs. Sever- j No earthly inducement can persuade

wildly together.
iou renot in earnest, ma am.
she cried, looking nervously around
"You wouldn't shut me up in prison
and leave my little one to starve in
the streets. Yof're a mother your
self, pretty lady, and you've a moth
er's heart in your bosom. I am not
a thief. I wouldn't lay hands on
what isn't my own, not if it was
coined gold and precious stones !
Please let me go my way, lady."
"By no meaa3," said Mrs. Sever
ance, with the prim, severe compla
cency of Virtue's eelf. "Officer," to
the minion of the law, who had by
ths time arrived on the scene of ac
tion, "there is your prisoner! I
lodge an accusation against her for
thett."
There was a cry, a tumult a mo
mentary gathering of gayly attired
spectators about tue green and shad
owy dell, and the next moment all
had once more settled into its wont
ed quiet.
While, along the hot and duty
Boulevard leading to the suburbs of
the great city, the foreign woman
sulkily followed the officer, and lit
tle Carita, running to keep pace with
their strides, pulled at her mother's
dress and wailed out:
"Mamma, mamma! Where are we
going mamma ? What are they go
ing to do with you, mamma.''
"Yes, that is the name. I remem
ber it very well Claude Severance."
Fifteen years had passed away
since that little incident at airs.
Mountjoy's croquet breakfast, and
Signonna Carita Venoni, in her rose
lined boudoir, was languidly looking
over the bouquets, cards and pres
ents which bad rained down upon
the stage of the Italian opera, the
evening before. One glittered richer
rarer than ail others a diamond
cross, set witn stones ol tne purest
water, with a scented card affixed to
it, bearing thue words :
" When you wear this at your
peerless throat, queen of love and
beauty, know that you also wear the
heart of Claude Severance with it."
SignorinaSJarita smiled and lifted
her pretty brows. She was dark and
brilliant, with large liquid eyes, like
those of a gazelle, hair black as the
blackest plumes of the raven's wing,
and full red lips, like the heart of a
tropic rose a beauty a prima don
na a capricious, spoiled darling of
the public
"1 remember it," said Carita to
herself, leaniug her "chin on her two
hands and looking thoughtfully in
to space. "I hive cause to remem
ber it Oh, mother ! my mother !"
And to the astonishment of M.
Gadeur, the manager, and Madame
Sivond, the prima donna's compan
ion, Signorint, Carita burst into a
psssion of hysterical weeping.
Madame Sivond, a motherly old
soul, with stiff white curls and lit
tle shining black eyes, like beads,
came close to her.
"My dear, what is the matter?
What can possibly ail you ?" ques
tioned she.
"Nothing, nothing," cried Carita,
laughing through the great drops
that rained over her cheeks. "But
look at this diamond cross, madame,
See how it glitters. I have a new
slave at my feet, it appears. Claude
Severance, the name is. Get me
broad band of velvet to affix this to.
I'll bang it around my neck and
wear it to night in 'Donna Anna.'
He shall see that his princely offer
ing finds favor in my eyes."
"But, my dear boy, it is quite im
possible entirely impossible, you
know, for an opera singer to refuse
to become your wife ! Upon my
word, I should like to know what
the girl expects !"
Claude Severance looked moodily
at hw mother. He had grown into
a tall.handeome man, with the arro
gant, imperious beauty of an Apol
lo. "I th.n't kLOw what she expects,"
said he sullenly, "but I can tell you
what you may expect, mother, since
she won't marry me ; to have me
leave the country forever. I may as
well bury tryseif alive out ia Africa
orSvria.cr some of those far off
places, as to live on here without the
only thing that makes life worth
having !"
Mrs. Severance wrung her jeweled
hands.
"Oh, Claude! Claude! don't talk
so ! Haven't you tried me enough
already, with your gambling, and
your debts, and all your undutiful
behaior, without this ?"
"Now, don't get up a scene, moth
er," retorted the hopeful son. "I've
heard just about enough preaching.
Carita Venoni is the only earthly
thing I care about, and she she
laughs in my face when I tell her
how wretched I am ! Mother, what
difference does it make what be
comes of me now? I'd put a bullet
through mv brains for sixpence, I
believe, and consider it a good job !"
"Claude," said his mother, pite
ously, "you haven't been earnest
enough about this matter."
"Have I not?" he muttered be
tween his teeth.
"Let me go to this Signorina Ven
oni let me plead your cause for
you. Believe me it will be a success.
1 can Epeak to her as one woman to
another. Oh, Claude, she cannot re
fuse the prayers of a mother ! You
shall be happy, my eon, if I go to
this haughty beauty on my very
knees."
Signorina Venoni was in her bou-j
doir, dressed in glistening lemon-colored
silk, with ropes of pearls twisted
around her neck, and great pearl
pendants swinging from her ears
lovely as a Circassian queen .smiling
as an enchantress when Mrs. Sev
erance was shown in. Vith piteous
entreaty the mother told ber tale.
"Mgnonna," she concluded, "his
life is in your hands and mine also.
Have mercy upon us both! It you
will become his wife, 1 have faith to
believe that he will become a differ
ent man ; if you refuse H
I be bignonna enom rose up!
with a light careless laugh.
"Then why have you lured him
' on ?" burst out the mother.
"Because," Carita answered, "I
I wished to be revenged ! Mrs. Sever-
. T I - 1 .V . V .
as dear to me s your eon is to you
dearer, perhaps, for she was all I
had, while you have wealth, rank,
hosts of friends. Your hands con
signed her to a prison tomb. I was
but a child st the time, but we
Southerners develop earlier than
the children of a colder clime and
at her gTave I vowed to be avenged.

woman, with the little dancing child
the pitiful cry for mercy, the

"There is a compensation in the

"It was during the "Seven Days'
Struggle in the lUierness, said
Colonel Taylor to the Lafayette (In
diana) Courier, "just after the bat
tle of Spottsylvania. My regiment
the Twentieth Indiana had made
a long march that day, and we had
come to a halt in the evening on the
edge ofthe woods, bv the roadwav.
It was not at all certain that we
would remain there longer than a
very few moments. I told the men
to make their colfee and get what
ever rest and reiresnments tney
could snatch iu that brief time. The
guard had been instructed to let no
one on horseback through the lines,
as it was the h ibit of stray artillery
men, cavalrymen mid mounted or
derlies to come dashing through the
camps wheEever they could save
time byFo doing. I had but just
seated myself near tbt- roadway,
when a rider in an c-ld blouse and
slouched hat, with a cigar in his
jmoutt i, rode up. As l.e passed the
guard, tut latter turutu aiiu paiuieu
him.
J shouted to the gard :
"Whac were vour orders?"'
"Not to let any one on horseback
pas the line.'
Then what the devil did you let
this fellow pass through for?"
"He is an officer. Colonel "
"Officer, ! He's a nice sort of
&n officer, ain't be ?"
"Then turniog to the intruder I
said : You are an officer, are you ?
Well, don't you know better than
to ride through a camp of tired and
weary soldiers like these are, splash
ing them with mud, and forcing
them to get out of your way? I've
a good mind to buck and gag you
and tie you to that tree. Get out of
here you scoundrel!"
"The horseman made no reply;
only looking at me and smiled. I
was incensed at his independence
and fired another volley at him,
when he passed on. The Colonel of
the Thirteenth Maine regiment was
sitting on a log near by laughing fit
to kill. I asked him what he was
laughing at 'Don't yoa know who
that was?' he asked. 'No, I don't
care a continental.' 'It was Gener
al Grant' I thought that he was
playing me and wouldn't believe
him. General Grant rode on to Gen
eral Birney's headquarters. Gener
al Birney was our division comman
der. 'Birney,' he askel, 'what regi
ment is that just down the road
there,' indicating with his finger.
'The old Twentieth Indiana. 'Who
is that boy in command?' 'That's
no boy, that is Colonel Taylor.
'Weil, he was going to buck and
gag me just now,' Then alter a
pause, 'He knows how to take care
of his men.'and rode on. Birney told
me of the conversation shortly af
terward. The next time that I met
Grant at close quarters was in La
fayette, at Mr. Orth's house, after
the war. As I entered tfl pay my
respects Governor Morton introdu
ced me. 'General Grant, this is one
of my soldiers. Colonel Taylor, of
the Twentieth Indiana.' A smile
passed over the General's face as he
extended his hand and said, 'I have
met Colonel Taylor before.I believe.
'Once before, General,' I replied,
and passed on, that is all there was

Craay Qallt Architecture.
The following from the pen of Bill
Nye, in the Chattanooga Time,
The American Architect and Build
ing Xetcs thinks.contains more truth
than fiction :
It may be premature, perhaps,
but I desire to suegest to any one
who may be contemplating the erec
tion of a summer residence for me,
as a slight testimonial of his high
regard for my sterling worth and
symmetrical escutcheon a tes
timonial more suggestive of earnest
admiration and warm personal
friendship than of great intrinsic j various delays occurred which pre
value, etc. that I hope he will not f vented effect beinz given to this in-
construct it on the modern plan of
mental hallucination and morbid
delirium peculiar to recent architec
ture.
Of course a man ought not to
look a gift house in the gable end,
but if my friends don't kuow me
any better than to build me a sum
mer house, and throw in odd win
dows that nobody else wanted, and
then daub it up with colors thev
have bought at auction, and ap
plied to the house after dark with a
shotgun, I think it is time that we
had a better understanding.
Such a structure does not come
within either ol the three clas
ses of Renaissance. It is neither
Florentine, Roman, nor Venetian.
Any man can originate a style of
architecture if he will drink the
right kind of whisky long enough,
and then describe his feelings to an
amanuensis. Imagine the sensa
tion that one of these modern, saw-ed-off
cottages would create a hun
dred years from now, if it should
survive. But that is impossible.
The only cheering feature of the
whole matter is that these creatures
of a disordered imagination must
soon pass away, and the bright sun
light of bard horse-sense shine in
through the shattered dormers and
eables of gnawed off architecture of
the average summer resort A friend
ol mine, a few days ago, showed me
his new houte with much pride. He
asked me what I thought of it. I
told him I liked it first rate. Then
I went home and wept all night
It was ray first falsehood.
The house taken as a whole look
ed to me like a skating rink that
had started out to make money, and
then suddenly changed its mind,
and resolved to become a tannery.
Then ten feet higher it had lost all
self-respect and blossomed into a
full brown "drunk and disorderly,
surmounted bv the smoke stack of
a foundry and with the bright fu
ture of thirty days ahead with the
chain gang. That's the way it look
ed to me.
The roofs were made of little odds
and ends of misfit rafters and dis
torted shingles that somebody had
purchased at sheriffs sale, arid the
rooms and stairs were giddy in the
extreme. I went in and rambled
amund among the cross-eyed stair
caseh and other nightmares til! rea
son tottered on her throne. Then I
came Out and stood on the architec
tural wart called the side porch, to
get fresh air. This porch was pain
ted a dull red, and it had wooden
rosettes at the corner that looked
like a brand new carbuncle on the
nose of a social wreck. Further up
on the demoralized lumber pile I
saw now and then places where the
workman s mind had wanderen.and
he had nailed on his clapboards
wrong side up. and tnen painted
them with the Paris green that he
had in ten ted to use on something
else. It wai an odd-looking struc
ture indeed. If my friend got all the
materials for nothing . from people
who had fragments of paint and lum
ber left over after they failed, and
then if the workmen constructed it
nights for mental relaxation and in
tellectual repose, without change, of
course the scheme was a financial
success, but architecturally the
house is a gross violation of the sta
tutes in such cases made and provi
ded, and against the peace and
dignity of the State.
There is a look of extreme pover
ty about the structure which a man
might struggle for years to acquire
and then taiL No one could look
upon it without feeling a heartache
for the man who built that bouse,
and probably stiuggled on year af
ter rear, building a little of it at a
time as he could steal the lumber, !
getting a new workman each year,
building a knob here and a protub
erance there, putting in a three cor
nered window at one point and a
yellow tile or a ward of broken glass
or other debris at another, patiently
filing in around the ranch with any,
old rubbish that other people had
got through with and painting it as
he went along, taking what was left
in the bottom of the pot after bis
neighbors had painted their bob
sleds or their tree boxes littlo fav
ore thankfully received and then
surmounting the wholk pile with a
potpourri of roof, a grand farewell
incubus of bumps and hollows for
the rain to wander through and
seek out the different cells where the
lunatics live who inhabit it
I did tell my friend of one thing
that I thought would improve the
looks of bis house. He asked me
eagerly what it could be. I said it
would take a man of great courage
to do it for him. He said he didn't
care for that He would do it him
self. If it only needed one thing.he
would never rest until he had it
whatever that might be. Then I
told him that if he had a friend

Alr-Driven Street Car.
About two years since we describ
ed a system of air-driven tram cars
which was then about to be adopted
on the Caledonian road line of the

system. This was the Mekarski
system, and the car which was then
experimented with was put on for j ita sleep out in the morning. Never

The Value of Sksrp.
Take enough sleep in the fore part
of the night, if possible. "Midnight
oil" ia a great humbug and health
destroyer. Sleep! It is nature's
tiuieto carry on the process of assim
ilation to manufacture food into
blood and aud Wood into healthful
tijeuc. The time for repose ia the
tuiio for the repair of aate. A man
ia taller in the morning than he is .
at nightfall ; the brain k clearer, hi.-)
step more elastic, his nerves steadier,
his muscles more energetic, (.live
children plenty of sleep. Put them
to bed early. Shut out the glare ot
gaf, and resist the appeal to "sit up,"
to go to night paities, night concerts,
night Sunday-school exhibitions,
night meetings. Send them to bed
ai bed time and give them sound
sleep, sound nerves, and sound con
stitutions. Night air is bad. Ma
larias are abroad, is there no kindly
sun to dispel the noxious vapors
and war upon the deadly ytnoms.
Sleep in the upper stories, in the
largest rooms in the house, and the
best ventilated. Let a child havt
ploy menu. It will not do for such
to sit up till eleven or twelve o'clock
the night before. Sleep till the eyes
open ot their own accord. It is hard
for a boy or girl to be called to dress
and go about business when the Ur
ed,sieepy and unrested eyes fell as if
they were "full of sticks."
Different persons require different
amounts of sleep. Some want six
hours, some seven, some nine. Gen
eral Grant wanted nine, and said, at
the siege of Vicksburg, be could get
but seven and it almost killed him.
