J. V. HfKtiKSS. Hut yesterday the prass wus preen, And all the world looked (ray; Hut now that grass so fresh tiuil bright Has all been turned to hay. The maiden spreads the pretty iViwers Upon her new spring bonnet: Hut soon 'twill in the attic hang With not a jiosey on it. The bicycle comes smiling out All bright, and clean, and trim: But soon a header breaks its back, Likewise its spokes and rim. To-day a baby comes to earth To smile, and crow, and caper: But all too soon its little life Is blown out like a taper. The boy secures a ball and bat, His joy no tongue can tell: That bat will soon be broken. And the ball lost in the well. The editor writes a little joke, 'Twont do to pigeon-hole it: He drops it lu the copy drawer His readers say he stole it. The preacher studies thre3 long days To make his sermon strong: The critics say '"Twas pretty good, But just a mile too long." The profound lawyer goes to court To trot a legal race: An upstart buys the jury, and His client wins the case. Today we shovel in the coal, Tomorrow ashes carry; Today the lovers gush and spoon, Tomorrow they will marry. Man struts about, while lofty thoughts Go surging through his head; Appendicitis lays him low And next you know he's dead. . We squirt the water on our lawn To cause the grass to grow; Then tug the mower back and forth That solf-same grass to mow. The peanuts that in youth we craved Hut lacked wherewith to buy; In manhood, when we have the cash, The nuts we dare not try. Thus all the pleasures of this life Cloy on our taste, and spoil: And when we want the w ater cold It alwaj'9 wants to boil. And so, for years, the thing we want Our efforts will defy; And when at last the prize is ours, We're old enough to die. Well Met. Not long since, in a certain New England city, four commer cial travelers met for the first time at the hotel tabic. They were soon engaged in conversa tion. In a few moments one of them said: "Gentlemen, suppose we be ing all strangers, with the gentle man opposite me, to introduce ourselves and our firm's busi ness." This was unanimously agreed to. Said number one, "I am Dash, and I represent the house of Payne & Co., selling glass bot tles." Said number two, "Well gentle men, perhaps it is no chance that I come next for I represent Da vis & Co,; I am Davis, and I sell stuff that goes into bottles. I sell wines and liquors." There was a moment's silence as number three said, "That gentlemen, but perhaps there is a fatality about this. I am Jones, of the firm of Justin & Co., deal ers in undertakers' goods." Number four was silent, and suggested that it would be well not to pursue the subject further and that it had been well never to havo started it. After much urging to complete the chain, he said, "Gentlemen, it is indeed, a fatality. I am Dean, of Heoker & Co., and I am taking orders for grave-stones." "Last winter I was confined to my bed with a very bad cold on the luDgs. Nothing gave me re lief. Finally my wife bought a bottle of Oue Minute Cough Cure that effected a speedy cure. I cannot speak too highly of that excellent remedy." Mr. T. K. Houseman, Manatawney, Pa. Trout's drug store. Sliclhy, Iowa. March 10, lJJOl.

Wo have had some very roiiirh weather hero this spring. We have had three very hard snow blizzards the last month, and they have boon awful hard on the stock. Tlit? roads are in a terrible shape at present men that have lived hero for years say they are worse than they have ever seen them. The mud is so deep lu places that you can hardly fret a team through. The farmers have not got any thing done in the lield yet. Last year wo had our wheat sowed be fore this time. There won't bo much rest for awhile when it once frets so we can fro to work in tin; lield. Iut wo are makiiifr our money easy this mouth and can afford to work a little harder, once we fret at it. I commenced to work the first of March, and have not done a thiiifr but the chores since, about three hours work a day. Wages is frood here this year. They ruu from .-fl to si.'i a month till corn picking, then wo get three cents a bushel. Last year I picked thirty-seven huudrod bushels in thirty-six days and a half, and made one hundred and ton dollars. I want to pick four thousand this year. Lots of the farmers do not have hands for this summer and can not get theni because there are none to be had. I am going to work for the same man that I worked for last year. I will close by wishing my friends back in old Fulton health, wealth and a good time, Yours truly, IIkut Ok'i ii. You will waste time if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starving yourself. That only makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty of good food properly digested. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the re sult of years of scientific research for something that would digest not only some elements of food but every kind. And it is the one remedy that will do it.

From advices received at the ion, u seems mat u was high , time that some means were taken 1 to break up smuggling by pas ; sengers in vogue at New York and presumably at other ports of arrival from Europe. The new ! inspection rules, although bitter- ! ly complained of mostly by peo ple whom they hit, are now said j to bono more stringent than those ; adopted in other countries ex i cept Great Britain of course j where free trade prevails aud I their enforcement has brought in j something like 7,000 a day moro I than during the time when they were not enforced.

A remarkable fact in regard lo these little animals is the large preponderance of females, the male animal in a llock from which these were taken costing sjCi.ooo and if any of them should bear a male the value of the llock would be very materially increased. There are many advantages in the keeping of these animals over sheep, as they feed upon at least tive hundred different kinds of weeds and graze on ground that would not be accessible to sheep. The clippings, which are of a short mohair, are very valuable, selling for more than si per pound, and is used in the manu facture of tint; fabrics.

What one Woman Thinks. Women who do mi put them down to the an thi.igs credit of economy. Breath is the most useful thing iu the long run. Doctors are supposed to be healthy because they never take their own medicine. Men who go to church on Sun day generally do it to please the feminine portion of the family. Women waste the best part of their lives going through the big shops hunting for trilles. Women never think they ask men foolish questions. Men have but little trouble in being fitted for clothes. A woman loves to draw public attention to the sweetness of her babies. It is not always wise to dis turb a man when he is reading his wiper. Nor to ask a fat man for any thing whenjio is pulling on his boots. Nor to discuss business with a man who is hungry. A true face is more desirable than a handsome one. It is foolish to bo chary with your remarks of appreciation. Hearts are hungry for it. Very often the people who say they hate conventionalities are those who observe them most. A good skin is the result of cream and philosophy. Cream during sloe) and philosophy all day. The minute the girl is given an engagement ring she generally Hies tt) the store to loot: at. ling erie.

Editorial vigilance is tjio only safeguard against errors in magazines-making. Every article that is publishediiu The Ladies' Home Journal, for instance, is read at least four times iu manu script form, aud sll statements of fact verified before it goes to the printer. Then it is read aud re v isod by the proof-readers; goes back to the author for his revi sion; is re-read by the editors three or more times, at different stages; aud again by the proof readers possibly half a dozen times additional. Thus each article is read at least fifteen and ofteu twenty times a,ftor leaving the author's hands 'until it reaches the public eye. But with all this unremitting vigilance errors, of the most obvious kind occasionally escape observation until perhaps the final reading, but it is rare, indeed, that uhi in accuracy hides itself in the pages securely enough to go through a magazine's edition. SEVEN RUNNING BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerva Energlzer, Is th greatest SPRINd MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the " worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired feeling," those "sinking spells," the languor and despondency which ai lso from badly nour ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as If by a maglo spell, Tho weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany ths spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at one. - for every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, Insomnia, hysteria and nervousness generally, It Is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action: it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow Its faith ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method In the good old times, to treat 5alt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison coald be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels holding In its circulation the speclfto germs of tho disease. But In this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. Jt not only attacks viru lently tho different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks Qut the nerves ar-d spinal cord, and again It will bring de cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or 6tomach. There Is only one scientillo method for the cure of blood tainl. That is, PURIFICATION I Every particle of the blood must be removed through theexecretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. " First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive ai;d vitallier of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex haustively removes the taint, bill also removes all mefcury, calomel and other minerals,' and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood Is the life." Good health means pure blood, Tho old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, la universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil. ' blood roiaoir cibku by ,,. .,. .

When a woman isn't saying more than she means she is mean ing more than she says. Oue of the funny things about living in the country is that if your clothes fit yon, half of the old women will believe you are living an evil life. There is only one thing that can look as contented as a woman with a nw silk dress on sitting in a front pew in church with her husband. That is a cow. When a married man goes out aud gets full he is smart enough to get au old bachelor to take him home, because he knows his wife will blame it on the old bachelor. Six thousand Mormons are going to move to Mexico, where they can practice polygamy with out restraint.
