The Potato and the Onion.
The potato once went on a inash,
And sought an onion bed ;
"That's pie for me," observed the squash _
As all the beets turned red.
"Go way!" the onion, weeping, cried ;
"Your love I cannot be ;
The pumpkin be your lawful bride ;
You cantaloupe with me!"
Bat onward still the tuber came,
And laid down at her feet;
"You cauliflower by any name,
And I will smell as wheat;
And I am too an early rose,
And you I've come to see;
go do not turnip your lovely nose,
Bat spinachat with me!"
"I do not carrot all to wed ;
So fo, sir, if you please !"
The modest onion meekly said,
"And lettus, pray, have peas!"
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh !
Too long a maiden I have been
For favors in your rye !"
"Ah, spare a cuss !" the tuber prayed ;
My cherryshed bride you'll be!
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me!"
And vi the wily tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise,
And, giying her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes!

A "Rural" Racket.
In these days of dudes and Demo
cratic economy, when only the pure in
appearance is false, it is not strange,
perhaps, that schemers are active.
One of the latest rackets by which the
lovers of the lucre seek to beguile it
from the pockets of city merchants has
come to light.
The fact that it is only the most del
icately flavored, perfectly colored and
sweetest scented butter offered for sale
by commission! merchants that is look
ed opoD suspiciously by purchasers is
well known. It is also well known
batter with these qualifications
generally turns out to be no butter at
all, but unadulterated, oleomargarine.
So universally has this rule come to be
accepted that retail buyers only pur
chase butter with which some fault can
be found. It was accordingly a happy
smile that rested upon the face of a re
tail buyer. Saturday when a dust-be
grimed citizen, evidently from the rural
districts, halted his team in front of his
store and alighting started in with
three or four big crocks.
"There comes some genuine butter,"
said he.
The farmer's price was paid without
a murmur, and the butter found to be
perfect. Hall an hour later a neigh
boring merchant rushed in and told
how a dealer across the way had been
taken in by a bogus farmer, who was
nothing more or less than a sharp city
schemer who drove out into the country
a mile or two, and then back again with
a dozen jars of oleomargarine, which
the aforesaid merchant had eagerly
purchased for genuine country butter.
The first mentioned merchant said
sot a word, but ten minutes later ap
plied the test to the stuff he had pur
chased, and found it to be genuine, un
adulterated oleomargarine. One of bis
clerks tells the story on him, which is
certainly a good one.
Two-Cent Postage.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18.—A
circular was issued to-day from office
of the Third Assistant Postmaster
General officially notifying postmasters
throughout the United States of a re
duction in postage rates 1 o take effect
the Ist of October, and directing them
to make preparations for it Post
masters are notified it is desirable to
bare as small a stock of present tbree
eent postage stamps and stamped
envelopes as possible when the reduc
tion of rates goes into effect and they
are accordingly directed to limit their
requisitions for stamps and envelopes
of this denomination to such quantities
as upon careful estimate they may deem
aufficient to last until the Ist of October.
They are also instructed to take all
available means without incurring any
expense to call public attention to the
coming reduction, so that purchasers
may not accumulate an unnecessary
supply of three-cent stamps and enve
lopes. The circular also directs that,
aa no arrangements have yet been made
for the redemption of three-cent stamps
and envelopes in the hands of post
masters or for exchange by postmasters
of those stamps aud envelopes in the
hands of private holders, until further
notice postmasters will not make ex
changes for the public nor return to
the department the stock that remains
on their hands after October 1. Post
masters are, however notified that as
two and three-cent stamps and envel
opes of the present issue will continue
to be valid after that date they must be
accepted in payment of postage when
offered in proper amounts and that
three-cent stamps can be used in com
bination with other denominations on
letters requiring more than one rate
postage, and on parcels of third and
fourth class matter.
The circular also announces that the
Department will be ready to issue two
cent stamps, new design, the 15th of
September, but these stamps and en
velopes must not be placed on sale o«
used by postmasters before October 1.
Also that no three-cent stamp will be
issued after September 14 unless the
requisition therefore is accompanied by
a statement that they are needed for
immediate use, and that the full supply
calkd for will become exhausted by
Oetober 1, and further that no three
cent stamped envelopes will be issued
after the 81st of August unless requisi
tion for them is accompanied by a simi
lar statement. The circular further in
structs postmasters as to the design for
the new two-cent and four-cent stamps
and stamped envelops, and notifies
tbem that the prices of envelopes (ex
clusive of postage) will remain the ,
same as at present; that no change
will be made in postage due stamps,
and that rates on drop letters will re
main the same as at present.

THE DANGER OF OVER-EX
ERTION.
A Stalwart man Becomes Weak
er Than a Child and Then
Recovers his Former
Strength.
( Waterloo, N. Y, Observer.)
In these days of rowing giants and
atheletic heroes, fine physical develope
ment is more observed than ever before
since the time of the Athenian games.
A man who shows the elements of
physical power is looked up to far
more than in the days of our ancestors
possibly because there are fewer spec
imens of well developed manhood than
then. An emissary of this paper met
a magnificent specimen of physical
power a few days since in the person
of Dr. A. W McXames, of Waterloo.
His muscles,which showed unusual de
velopement, were as hard as wood.
At his request the writer sought to
pinch him in the arms or legs, but
found it wholly impossible. A realiza
tion of what is meant by an iron man
was fully made manifest.
"Have you always been so stalwart
as this?" inquired the news gather.
"Not by any means," was the reply.
"When a young man I was always
strong and active and felt that I could
accomplish anything. This feeling so
took possession of me on one occasion
that I attempted to lift a box which
four men found it impossible to move.
I succeeded in placing it on the wagon,
but in two minutes from that time I
was unconscious and remained so for
hours and when I recovered conscious
ness I vomited a large quantity ot
blood. From that day I began to
grow weak and sickly. I believed
that I had suffered some internal in
jury and experienced a general debility,
which seemed similar to the effects
produced by malaria. My back was
very weak. I had no appetite, and at
times loathed food. My lips were
parched and cracked. My head felt as
though it were entirely open at the
top and it pained me on the sides iu
tensely. In six weeks' time I had
fallen away from 203 pounds to less
than 170. I was in a most wretched
condition. I was completely discour
aged."
"What did the doctors say about
you?"
"Almost everything. I consulted
no less than six different physicians.
They all treated me and none did me
any good. At that time I was suffer
ing intensely. I could not sit upright
but was obliged to sit in a cramped,
uneasy position. I was compeled to
urinate every five minutes and I pass
ed over three quarts every day. I was
not living I was existing
One night (how well I remember
it!) my wife had put tho children all
in bed when the feeling came over me
that I should live but a short time.
My wife and I talked matters all over
and I gave the minutest directions as
to what she should do after 1 was
gone. I was not in a flighty condi
tion by any means for the doctor, on
leaving town the day following, bade
me good bye, saying be never expected
to see me again, for I was sutferibg
with Bright's disease of the kidneys
in its last stages. Within the next
few days more than twenty friends
came to bid me good bye. Among
number was I)r. John L. Clark. He
asked me what I bad used in the way
of medicines. I told him He then
recommended a remedy of which I bad
beard much, but about which I was
very skeptical. If faith were an ele
ment oi power it certainly was lacking
, in my case."
"And so you did not try it?"
"On the contrary; I did try it and
to my surprise it seemed to go
the spot. Indeed it was the most pal
atable thing I had taken into my
mouth for months. I relished it."
"And did it cure you?"
"Do I look as If it did?"
"Yes, indeed. What was it?"
"Warner's Safe Cure."
"A proprietary medicine!"
"Of course. What of that? I sup
pose I once had as great a prejudice
against advertised medicines as any
one could have. When I was study
ing medicine at Ann Arbor, Michigan,
I used to vow with the rest of the
class that we would fight all such rem
edies at all times. When a man comes
down to the last hour, however, and
bids his wife and friends good bye,
such bigoted prejudices as these all
vanish, I can asure you and any rem
edy that can cure is gladly welcomed."
"And how have you been since
then?"
"As well—or letter, than before."
"Do you still exert your strength?"
"Certainly. But Ido not over-ex
ert, as formerly. My strength is in
creasing every day, and my health is
number one. 1 know that my life
was saved by Warner's Safe Cure,
and I believe it is the best medicine
that was ever compounded by any
chemist or physician. I am willing
the doctors should sneer at me fur such
a statement if they choose, but I have
proveu its truth, and am prepared to
stand by it."
The above experience should be ol
great value to all who are suffering.
It shows the deceptive nature of this
terrible malady: that all symptoms arc
common to it and that there is but one
way by which it can be absolutely
avoided.

A Long Missing Heir Turns Up.
lu 1867 Nathaniel Ilavden, of Eliza
beth township, Allegheny county,died,
leaving quite a large estate. Au ex
ecutor was appointed, the affairs uf
the estate settled and a distribution of
the proceeds made. Among the heirs
was Elijah Haydcn, a son of the deced
ent, who had goue away from home
about 1340, and of whom very little
had been heard in the mean time. His
share of the estate, in absence of proof
of his death remained in the executor.
Some time time after the death of the
elder Hayden. LJ. C. Christy, attorney
for the estate, discovered that Elijah
llavdcn was in the mining districts of
Montana, and notified him of his inter
est in the estate. No answer was ever
received, and Mr. Hayden never laid
claim to the money. About four years
copies of the record of a court of lowa
were received here, setting forth that
Elijah Hayden was dead, proving his
marriage and the existence of heirs in
that State, and asking that his share of
the estate be forwarded to them. The
executor, believing Hayden to be still
alive refused to turn the money over.
A few days since the lost heir greatly
surprised his brother, who resides at
Elizabeth ,by walking in and announc
ing himself. He had not been seen for
forty years, and had come to be a gray
haired man of seventy years of age, but
his brother after a while recognized
him. He laid claim to his portion of
his father's estate, and came to the city,
in company with his brother, and after
satisfying the docket of the Orphans
Court received from the executor, his
brother, $1,500, with interest from date
of his father's death. He then left for
bis mining home in Montana to resume
his search for gold.
More Honest than Careful.
The other morning a citizen who
had been cautioned to send up some
butter as he went town or eat
dry bread for dinner, stepped into a
grocery and bought and paid for three
pounds. The cash tendered was in
the shape oi a bill, and the citizen did
not count the change until he had trav
eled several squares. Then he made
a discovery.
'Why, I gave him a $1 bill and he
has given me over so,' he soliloquized.
'I could keep this money and he would
be none the wiser, but I'm not that
sort of a clothes-pin. I will at once re
turn it.'
He was as good as his promise. Re
turning to the store with tte money in
his hand, he said :
'Lucky for you that I am an honest
man. You gave me $0 too much in
makiDg change.'
'I guess not.'
'Well, I gueßS you did, and here it
is. I want only what belongs to me.'
The grocer sullenly thanked him and
the citizen went his way, but in an
hour or so he made another discovery.
He found the one dollar bill and missed
the ten.
'lt was a ten I gave him, and the
change was right,' he gasped. 'I must
go to him and explain.'
He started for the grocery, hung
around'for awhile and then stated his
case.
'You are a vile swindler sir!' prompt
ly replied the grocer.
'Oh, no; I'm not. I'm simply a vic
tim of a too honest conscience.'
i 'You get out! I didn't like the cut of
your phiz in the first place, and when
you brought buck the $1) I knew you
had some sort of a game. Now, sir,
you travel, or I'll call the police.'
'But I'm an honest man! I tell you
there is a mistake here,' protested tho
buyer.
'You promenade ! I'm on to all the
little games, and you can't make a cent.
Boy, call in a policeman.'
The citizen walked out and kicked
lamp-posts and rubbed against baby
carriages, and refused to recognize his
best friends. He had not only paid
over $3 per pound for butter, but he
had beaten himself all around. He
rushed to a lawyer to seo what he
could do, and the lawyer replied:
