An' tlicr ain't none of this here atuif w bat yer read iiout iu books in this what I'll tell yer unther, ther whole thing is tine sbo as the Lord made tne, cv ry word an' tz nlrh rr ■ 1 can tell it ler you ' When I »vas ar boy long, long tiuie ergo, ole Squire Smith he lived at Pig Pen Gap. 'bout ten miles down ther creek He had ar leetie gal name Marv She had lhem great big black eye? what n.l ?hine like ar buck's on ar dark night an' lhem long curl that'ud fly [in tber win' She wuz ar mighty spry creeter. She could run an' clim' ar tree wus'n ar squirrel with ar dog hiin An' eau e die conld do all iich. we nn.i alios called ht-r Kildce. ■ ole Squire Pearson lired npther branch not mi mighty fur. He'd come thar ar good many years afore, but nobody didn't seem to know nothin'much l.nnt him. He hail ar chap named Bill. Menu' Pill xra pard ners. but, Jedpe. we wam'tno more like than ar pig an' a pan kin pill he war ther be-1 feller you ever r eed. He "Wouldn't hurt nothin . If we'd .start out hunlin' an' ii ii oine game, Pill wouldn't want ter hoot it. An' ihen he didn't lake no in trn-t in things like me. When we d go ter get chestnut s an' sieb, he'd l'orgit all bout what he con e fur an' go -et down on ar lop, he wouldn't say nary a word, but look right at ther ground. Peav'd like he war thinkin' 'bout sometbin' way oil'. An' ther he'd .set till I'd chnck him with ar burr an' say, 'Wake up.' I'd alius be askin' him what ailed him, an' he'd say, 'Nothin'.' But thought, an' I knowed thar was; an' so one day when we were out fiahin' an' Pill was scttin' on ther bank, dun forgot 'bont fi.ih an' was lookin' in ther water, I went an' ;;et down right close ter him an' ez Pill, we una have bepn Tighten good chums nearly ever since we'wuz a whim perin', but yer hain't never tol' me what in ther worl' 'tio you air always tndyin' 'bout. Xow, come, ole feller, an' tell me what 'tis. Pulliu' hi self tcrgotlier, turnin' round an' lookin' me spang iu lhe eye, lie sed: 'lke, dad has alius tole llie this yer i a great big worl', an' he uster, way lonjt ago, live in one of them big things what yer call cities, whar thar's mo' folks live.? tergether than thar be in the Mitchell county two times big. An' ther folks what thar Lave got l.trnin'. I ain't got no inin' as what ther thing be, but dad scz it am mighty good. It's gittiu' gumption iu yer head. Xow I'd jes' like to go one of them places and git er peep—but you is the lirst creeter I ever tole, an'—'Say, fellers, I hcv found a new cave ter make ar house in. Come right on!' Lookin up we seed Kildee. When Pill seed her bis eye begun to sliiue (mine too, I speks, jedge. said llie old man. laughing). Me an' Pill both liked Kildee like she were our sister; it were ther only thing lue an'him was like in. Jedge, you bet we three had ther biggest time'round this jer ole settlement you ever liearu of. We'd play like we wuz growed up an' 'ml keep house an' all sich things. Course Kildee 'ml lie ther ole 'oman an' keep house. Me and Hill did the huntin' and she'd do the akinniu' aud enokin', 'cepttin' oncct in ar while when we didn't kill enough to suit lier, she'd grab the ole Hint liflc, go in ther woods, an' when it banged ;omethiu' alius drapped Waal, yer bet she conld shoot. "Things went on this way for ar long, long time; playiu' like, yer know But 'twau't so muuy years afore we begun t-> 'bout 'sure 'nougli.' That same kin' of soiuethiu' what tells leetle b'ars they ain t cabs no longer begun to tell us, 'yer got ter stop yer play in' like.' 'tine mawnin' fer llie lirst time, we got ter talkin'about the matter. Bill wuz al ius ready to talk 'bout Kildee, we set an' talked ar long time 'bout which of ua should have Kildee for his ole 'oman. 'Twouldn' have been Pill if he hadn't wunled tor give her to me, cause ho were jes that good hearted; but, yer know, Jedge, I couldn't, I wouldn't let him do that But we couldn't agree on uuthin' so we .-.aid we'd leave the whole thing ter Kildee fer ter lis, an' we'd do jes like she sed, didn't make no difference what it were. So npx'day when all three of we una wcro iu Hip B'ar cave I ups an' seat: " 'Kildee, me an' Pill air in trouble. An' when we tell yer what 'tis we air afraid you will just holler, an' make all sorts of fiiu onten us, but we ain't a carin'. Its jes this: we uns hev been* cubs long enough, an' now it's time we be git tin' growed up. An' we ain't pertiouler smart, but we got gnmption 'nough to know two fellers can't hev the same gal fer his ole 'ouian. You hain't never show ed no difl'eruus iu yer likin' of us, Kildee, but you must IK some way fer ouo of us tor git yei. Now the one what gits left, lie'.'l hev to go over an' work on Squire Carter's gal. Course, Kildee, don't outlier ouo of ns want ter bev ter leave yer (and, Jedge.-wben I sed that my eyes begun to get watery), but it's belter fer one ter git left than both. Sow, whatever you say we'll do without ar word; nay yer Kildee.' "Everything war so still you could Ucur a deer tread. We know'd she wore ez peart an' bright an' ar cricket au' would do right. She stop ped, thought ar leetle, then, raisin' her head, with them eyes ar shiuiu', ml: " 'No, fellers, ther ain't nolhiu' 'bout that ter laugh over. 1 bed been Ulinlfin' 'bout that, too- I dou't |ikt! Itkts pill uu tliftM ytr, anil yer no better than Bill, but it's yer sez; so I'll jes'do this: " 'Olo Squire Pearson has been talkiu' lots lo dad an' mam 'bout cities an' luruin'. 1 dunno no more 'bout tber things than ai squirrel does 'bout pot licker, but they pears mighty nice. Now thci oue of yd that'll ftn' ovit bout them fust I'll alap this here ole ban' right plunk in lu mn ' ' Jedge, when she sez that, I jez ter myself, Pill, she's yourn ' Pill lie stood ! ,iiti an' wuz thoughtful like.

"After he left, me all' Kildee l.ep' up our Indie, but tnarn'L like it u>ter tie. When we'd think 'liout Hill the tea, 'ml bergilt to come ter Kildee' eyi but she'd pull up the corner of her apron, wipe them erway an' say. 'Never min', he'll coma back afore many year? an' then we'll be happy again " ' Bout ai year arier. there come pa?t here -ome men what called themselves aniveyors.

"Now Jedge, 'bout Kildee. It war ar mighty long time afore we ever beam of the gal. I never thought I'd bear again. "When ther feller run away he took her to New York. He made her ur big lady.

Here is jut where the intelligent and thoughtful workman has the advantage of the illiterate and ignorant. ainl ii the. rea soil why we ii n.l o many really good workmen, so far as physical force is eon ccined, plodding along, enrniti:' barely enough to support themselves. What American workmen need i to cul tivate their minds, and equalize the labor between the mind and body, resulting iu a more perfect condition of both, and render iug their services more skillful and them selves more valuable workmen.

Tu the treatment, physicians have been wont, to depend largely upon a diet of milk, which, iu cases where it is well borne aud can be persisted iu, always acts well.

Acting upon that theory, he selected I*s patients with heart disease, iu all of which there was mole or le - dropsy To each he gave 100 grammes of the sugar of milk a day, dissolved iu two quarts of water In nil these cases a marked effect upoa the kidneys was felt within 1M to 4o hours, and the dropsies diminished rapidly, aud al most all such wellings disappeared alto gether altera series of treatments lasting from six to eight days.
