Learn to Take it Easy.
" It does seem strange to me," said ex
Congreasuian West to a N. Y." Herald
reporter the other day, "why some
business men cling closely to business
all tiirir lifetime. You laugh? Well
business is business, of course, and Ben
Franklin knew what he was talking
about when he said something about
saving a penny every time you eet a
chance. But what I mean to say is that
a business man needn't be everlastingly
drudging away simply because Le is mak
ing lots of money. He should take a
holiday, and at time a jolly long one."
Mr. West rtroked bis big white beard
and looked np at the ceiling as if trying
to count the roses in the frescoed wreaths
about tbe chandelier and then went on :
" liich men in business, no matter
whether they began business when they
were poor as church mice or whether
they had piles of money before they got
out of their teens, are becoming sensible
nowadays. I can count on my fingers'
ends dozens of men who, twenty-five
years ago, never took a week off in sum
mer time even, w ho were as rich as
Cru-sus years and years before that, and
yet w ho went to their offices as early as
they had to do w hen they were clerking
it ; and they kept it np till they toppled
into their graves. Why, I know some
New York business men twenty-five
years ago who had never taken an ocean
bath because they had never seen the
ocean beyond the Battery. I know a
thing or two about Saratoga, and, would
you really believe it, last summer I Lad
as pleasant a day as I ever spent in my
life atj Ballston with a merchant in this
city w bo had gone out of town for a
week for the first time during the sixty
years of his active business life. Yet
that man had always made bis clerks go
away for a week every summer, with a
week's salary raid in advance.
Business men don't feel old now a
day because their hair i&lgray. They dont
save op for the boys by depriving them
selves of needed recreation. They take
their share of jollities of life, too ; and by
jollities I don't mean jags. And though
they dont work as many hours a day as
their fathers did they manage to accom
plish n.ixh more."

A Story of Andrew Johnson.
Andrew Johnson was a man of iia
petooas temper, given to forcible, not
to say vehement, expression of his opin
ions and feelings. Shortly fore the Balti
more convention which renominated
President Liccoia and placed Mr.
Johnson, then military Governor of
Tenneo, on the ticket w ith him. Col.
G ranville Moody, tbe fighting parson,"
wa in Washington cn Li way to
Philadelphia to attend the Methodist
conferehoe, be being a minister in that
church. He colled at the White House.
Pre iaderit Lincoln questioned Lim about
Johnson. In reply CoL Moody related
an inci dent :
"I was in Nashville," CoL Moody
said, "on tbe day it was reported that
Gen. Batll was going to evacuate the
city. The confederates, Leavily re
inforced, were said to be within two
days' nmrch of the city and every-body
was greatly excited. I went to Gov.
Johnson's off.ce and found two gentle
men with Lim. They retired, leaving
the governor and myself alone. He
tun ed to me and said in the moot
eir ,-hitic manner.
'Moody, we're sold out Buell is a
tititor. He is going to evacuate the
city and in forty-eight hours we will be
in the hands of the rebels.
"Then he began pacing op and down
the room, twisting bis h&nds and chafing
like a caged bear. Sud Jently he stopped
in front of me and said, abruptly :
" ' Moody, can yoa pray ?"
" That's my easiness, sir, as a minister
of the goepel,' I replied.
"Well, Moody, I wish you would
pray.'
" I knelt one side of the room and
Johnson on the other. As the prayer
proceeded Johnson began to resjnd in
good old BK-tbodist style. Finally he
craw led over on Lis Lands and knees to
w hre I w as and put his arms about me,
manifesting dep emotion. When the
prayer was concluded he joined me in a
hearty 'amen.' As Le arose he drew a
long breath and said : 'I feel better.'
Then he began pacing np and down the
room again. Afters minute or two Le
exclaimed :
' Moody, w ill you stand by me T
" ' Certainly I w ill,' I assured Lim.
' I'm not afraid of that Moody, for
yoa are a uun among a hundred
thousand.'
He continued Lis restless walk to and
fro. Suddenly Le stopped short, the
current of Lis thought changed, and
said :
Oh, Moody, I dont want you to think
I'ye become a religions man because I
at-ked yoa to pray. I am not and never
pretended to be religious. No one knows
this better than you, but Moody, there is
one thine about it I do believe in
Almighty God and I believe ia the Bible
and I'll be d d if Nashville feball be
surrendered."

Bidwell's Blood Money.
General Bid well, Prohibitionist candi
date for President, says the Boston
Juurnal, was one of the original Califor
nia, pioneers, and tradition Las it that
they were not exactly teetotalers. Bid
well hsd a big vineyard in Butte County.
He raided grapes there, and they were
w ine grapes. He Lad a winery and a
still house, and for twenty years the
individual who now heudsthe Prohibition
ticket "was, next to the largest wine and
brandy producer in California.
It was in this business that Le
accumulated the millions which will, go
to lubricate the wheels of the Prohibition
machine this summer. For the first
time pro!jb!y in all its history, the third
party now Las a reformed distiller at its
head. For General Bidwell did reform.
He reformed to please his wife, and he
now sells the products of bis 150 acre
vineyard in the open market, instead of
converting them into spirituous fluids
on bis ow n premises, for what becomes
of his grapes in other bands be does not
consider that be is responsible.
It is an inspiring or chilling reflection,
according as you look at it, that a big
fortune gained in the wine and brandy
trade is going to be used to pay the rent
of Prohibition headquarters, and hire
Prohibition orators and Prohibition
torch-bearers - during the campaign.
Some people will like the notion. Other
people won't
Two of a kind.
The Hev. G. B.Snedeker, a well-known
Methodist preacher who lives at Abing
don.HL, says:
"In 1S04 myself and Stevenson, with
others, were drafted. Mr. Stevenson hired
a man to go to the front in Lis place, and
there was also one sent in my place. I
see that Mr. Stevenson says that he was
in the army for thirteen days. Well. I
think I can explain that record. When
the draft was made Stevenson was
appointed by the disloyal people to go
to Spring&eld to see that tbe draw ing
was fairly done ; he made some objections
to the manner in which the drawing
was done, w hen the officer said for him
to get upon the box and be blind folded
and see if he could do any better. Steven
son mounted the box and, so the story
was told, the first two names he pulled
out of the box were my own and Lis.
He was then satisfied, and let the draw
ing go on. At that time he spent w me
ten or fifteen days in Springfield, and
that was the nearest Le ever was to the
war." IitdiatuzjioliM Jimrtmi.

go, About Watering Horses.
A horse can live twenty-five days with
out solid food, merely drinking water,
seventeen days without either eating or
drinking, and only five days when eat
ing solid food without drinking.
An idea prevails among horsemen that
a horde should never be watered oftener
than three times a day, or in twenty-
four hours. This is not only a mistaken
idea, but a brutal practice. A horse's
stomach is extremely sensitive, and will
suffer under the least interference, caus
ing a feverish condition.
feeding a horse principally on grain
and driving it five hoars without water
is like giving a man bait mackerel for
dinner and not allowing Lim to drink
until suppA time very unsatisfactory
for the man.
If you know anything about the care
of horses and Lave any sympathy for
them, water them as often as they want
to drink once an hour, if possible. By
doing this yoa will only be merciful to
your animals, but you will be a benefact
or to yourself as they will do more work ;
they will be healthier ; they will look
better, and will be less liable to coughs
and will live longer.

A Parrot and a Dog.
Jack and Jenny belonged to a friend of
mine, says a writer in the Philadelphia
Timet. The one frisked on four legp, the
other stood sedately on two. Jack Dog
and Jenny Parrot these were their full
names. " Possession is nine points of the
law," and as Jack had possession first,
he was jealous of the advent of Jenny,
and be showed it very plainly. But Jen
ny was a good bird, and there was only
one flaw in her character, and this was
that she would once in a while get de
moralized and go on the warpath, so far
as her voice was concerned. When it be
gan to grow dusk, or when she was left
alone for a short time, she certainly did
utter the most ear-piercing shrieks that
ever found their way out of the mouth of
a well-bred parrot
Jack thought it all over, and evidently
denied that he, as a rexpectable, peace
ful member of the boue aold, had a duty
to perform. Consequently, whenever
Jenny commenced to shout Jack trotted
up to her cage, sat beneath it, and ad
ministered a severe reprimand in the
shape of several savage barks. At first
this surprised Jenny so much that it re
duced her to silence, but she soon began
to resent Jack's oflicionsnesf, and scolded
back at Lim in great indignation, using
the same words as her mistress used.
Yoa naughty boy, stop that '."
But not a bit would Jack stop, so Jen
ny followed his example and thought it
over. Then the next time Jack began to
scold Jenny burst out into such a fit of
laughter that Jack stopped in otter
amazement, and going off into the next
room, lay down for a cozy nap.
He had hardly got settled when sever
al terrible shriek brought him back in
a state of great indignation. This time
Jenny scolded back, until finally Jack de
parted and cr.rled down for a nap once
more. Then she waited till he was sound
asleep, and again he was startled. by a se
ries of unearthly yells, and up he sprang,
bristling and barking. Jenny laughed,
and then relapsed into a stony silence.
Once more the little dog curled himself
up for a nap, and once more those dread .
ful yells roused him to scold indignantly.
But Jenny yelled louder than ever. Jack
barked until he was hoarse, and Jenny
shouted, laughed, called him a naughty
boy, and laughed again.
Then she stopped and Jack started for
the door, but as be reached it a shrill
scream brought him back. Jenny put
her bead to one side, a supercilious smile
played around her beak, and then she
opened it wide and began to bark just as
loud and as fast as Jack himself. Poor
Jack! That was the 'one drop too much.'
An utter silence fell upon him, and he
stared at the cage for several minutes in
deepest amazement and disgust.
Meantime Jeniy keFt on barking, an
exact imitation of Jenny's most sivage
performances, interjecting an occasional
ho ! ho! ho !" as though full of glee, as
no doubt she was.
And presently the joke oegan to dawn
on the little dog. lis tucke-1 hi tai 1
away behind his legs, drooped his head,
and walked dejectedly to the door, and
as he passed through Jenny uttered one
yell of triumphant glee and shouted :
" Good-by, Jack, good-by !" and then
burst out into a fit of laughter as if she
thought it the best joke of the season.
And so it was.
After that not all of Jenny's shrieks
could lure Jack from his cozy rug ; Le
had had enough of such antic?, and
even when Jenny derisively laughed at
him he uttered only a low, a very low
growL

Eminent Facts.
Tbe question ia often asked and scarcely
ever answered, why whiskey made now ia
not as pare and reliable as it was forty years
ago. It. is never the less s fact that it is
made purer and better to-day than at that
time. With tbe improved methods fusil
oil and other imparities are entirely elimina
ted. A sworn statement aa to the purity,
age and quality of the whiskey sold is fur
nished by one dealer who advertises full
quarts, six year old pure Perm's Rye, at
tl.HO per quart, or sis quarts lor $5 u0. Sil
ver Age $1.50 per quart. Duqoesne $1.25
