Not what we would, but what we must, Makes up the sum of living;

Heaven is both more and less than just In taking and in giving.

Swords cleave to hands that sought the plow ,

And laurels miss the soldier’s brow.

Me, whom the city holds, whose feet H ave worn its stony highw ays,

Familiar with its loneliest street—Its ways were never my ways.

My cradle was beside the sea,Aud there, I hope, my grave will be.Old homestead I—in that old gray town,

T hy vane is sew ard blow ing ;Thy slip of garden stretches down

To wMre the tide is flowing :Below they lie, their sails all furled,•The ships that go about the world.

Dearer that little country house,,Inlandj with pines beside it 5

Some peach trees, w ith u n fru itfu l boughs,A well, with Meeds to hide it;

No flowers, o r only such as riseS,elf-sown-poor th in gs!— which all despise.

Dear country hom e! can I forgetThe least o f th y sw eet trifles ?

The window-vines that clamber yet, Whose blooms the bee still rifles ?

The roa d-side blackberries, growing ripe, And in the woods the Indian pipe VHappy the man who tills the field,

Content with rustic labor;Earth does to him her fullness yield,

Hap what may to his neighbor.Well days, sound nights—oh. can there be A life more rational and free ?Dear country life of child-and man !

For both the best, the strongest,That with the earliest race began,

And hast outlived the longest,Their cities perished long ago;Who the fifst f»wmer»|:we|^pe know.•£r•yAPerhaps our Babels, too, will fall;

CHAPTER V ni.

me. w ilk iN s Stakes s is t e r o u t t o r id e . 1 a

Aunt Betsey she come to the wedding for all she was so mad. She brought a present of a silk bedquilt which she patched her­self. I told her I guess Lil was disappoint­ed cause I ’d heard her say she xpepted Aunt Betsey would give her a handsome silVer tea set. Our Bess was named after her, so’s to kepe the propty in the family, but I don’t kno who Betty, the made, was named after. I'll ast her some day. when I think of it. Aunt she flew up like a hen with her head cut off; she said if she give Bess a tea-set that that would be enuff, she guessed. ,She’d willed her money to the Orfan’s Home, 5 we shouldn’t enny of us tuch a seat of it if a silk bedquilt want gcod enuff for Lib ? She s’posed she’d have to give Bess Something ’cause she Was her namesake, but George Washington never give me any .thjpg I was named after hitn'. She said I ’d made a mess of it as useyul, an’ now she .wouldn’t get a present when she married the dbektor.She said I was a marplot. I pst, her whatthat was ; if it was like a squirl or wood­chuck ; she said it had 2 legs an’ a friteful busy tung.

Thare’s a new yung gentleman coming to our house now. I t’s my idee he comes to see Bess. I ast Betty if she didn’t so 2 , an’ she said she did. They’d better make the most of him, for she’s that old it’s per- feckly ridicklus—23 last May. I heard my mamma tell her oncest she would go through the wood ’n take up with a crooked stick at last, whatever that means.

The new yung man’s name is Mr. Wilkins Las night I went into the parlor where he an’ Bess was talking, an’ I went up to him an’ took a good look at him. My, ain’t he funny! Bess she made a motion for me to go way, I knew she dassent speke out, so I purtended not to see her.

‘ ‘ How are you, my little man ?” sez he.‘ ‘ I ain’t a little man, ’ ’ sez I. * 4 I ’m a boy

Did you think I was Tom Thumb or Com­modore Nutt?”

He laffed.I ast him ;“ What is that shines so when you laff?

Is it gold like that the dentist puts in Bess’ teeth ?

“ You’re a funny boy,” sez, he, but he didn’t laugh so I could see what it was‘shiny in his mouth.

“ You are funny too,” said I. “ What’s the matter with your other eye, it don’t go like it ought'to. 1 Is it glass ?”. “ You are very rude, ” said Bess. “ Go way, or I ’ll tell mamma,”

I went away a little while, but I come back, cause I wanted to find out what made his other eye not go* an’ I stood an’ watched an’ watched him tiH Bess said afterwards, she thought she’d fly..

“ Georgie,” sez .ghe, as sweet as pie, “ won’t you please |?5 tell Betty to bring insome cake and lemmonaid?”{ «

I come back agane just as soon as I had told her, cause the More I looked the more I could not make uj| my mind what was the matter with his eye| 1 His hair was fritefulred. So Bess she r&ade a scuse to go out in?the sitting room a minute, an’ when she come in she said : ^

“ George, your mother -wants you rite away. ”

So I had to go, and mama said it was . aw­ful impolite to stare'at visitors.

“ Then, mama,” I ast her, “ why don’t he wind up his eye&so ’twill go like his oth­er one ?”

Big folks are very unreasonable to chil­dren ; ’stead of tellin me, all she said was :

“ It is your bed-time, George.”Mr. Wilkins comes here every other night.

reglar. The docktor an* Sue sit in the frunt parlor, he an’ Bess sit m the back parlor. Why don’i; they all sit together ? He’s goin’ to take Bess a buggy ride- to-morrow after­noon all by thurselyes. I think they might a asted m^ to go along^ * . e - • r-,

I anyw^ysJ It w o u jd ib p u n ­to hide under the s|te an’ hear what Jae says, he’s got such a squeaky voice. I ’ll try to manage it. Ide ast: Johnny, too/ only there wan’t be room.

Mr. Wilkins, he drove up all so grand, with a new top buggy, an’ a black horse, with a gold-mounted harnis, ’bout four o’clock. J was on the wotch around the corner of the hous^ tm’ when he went ih the hall a minute to let ’em know he was theire, I .sliped into|Uae buggy, an'got under the seat, the curta^ 'cjbne down an’ conseal- efl me frpm,^ightr s

as deth while, they got in. He took the ranes/ an’ , we were oph.

The horse he^flue along until we were out of the town as much as 8 -miles. I was aw­ful sorry I come along, ’cause I got tired be in’ squeazed up in such tite quarters. O ,, how I aked 1

When it was gettin’ chilly, and after sun­set the horse he didn’t go so fast, he woJk- efl along that slow I thought I ’de dye.

I had a big bunch of fire-crackers in my jpocket, an’ some matches, ’cause I wanted to hear what he was saying to Bess jus’, then I didn’t set ’em off. I was so tired I could hardly think if his eyes were not alike.

“ My darling, darling Bessie,” sez he, as if she was a baby ’bout six months old.

My sister she didn’t say a worn.“ You are not angry ?”Just as if there was enny thing in that to

be mad about! I s’pose he thought such a ole girl wouldn’t like to be made a baby of. And then he tolked to her a lot of sweet stuff like she was a candy store, you never heard ! Thinks I, Mister Wilkins, if she’dboxed your, ears like she., has mine,, you wouldn’t call her duv an’ angel. These girlsth a t shake an* cuff th e ir little b ro thers so, never get, mad, no matter what; the big, boys do, Vye nofcised that,, but } thought Iw ouldn’t say a word, lie could have h e r if he wanted to be such a fool.

“ The dri goods business is reviving.” sez he, after he’d called her his angel mor’n a duzzen times. “ I think we might venture to have a wedding sometime ’bout Christ­mas.”

Then Bess she sez : „“ I never did beleeve'in long engagemets,

Charles, so if you say Christmas I ’ll tri hard to get reddy . ” i

Then they didn’t say nuthing for a min­ute or two, and I heard suthin’ squeak a Tit­tle. Mebbe it was the wheeL I guess it was. My gnees hurt so I cannot say for sur tain. I was so cold an’„ hungry an’ my el- boes crampted, I thought I ’d scare Mr. Wil­kins* so’s to make him hurry up.

“ There’s somethip’ under the seat,” sez Bess. “ O, m y! oh grashus I Oh, Charles, I’m sure it is a dog!”

‘ ‘ Don’t be alarmed, ” sez he. “ I will, protectyou with my Ouch, wouch!what can it be ?”

“ Oh, stop the horse! Let me get out, ” sez Bess. . - a

“ Let n.e see what it is,” sez Mr. ^filkins, He felt around under the sete, his hand wept'on my , hair' I Jbit/his hand a little to make him think L was a dog. “ I t is a dog! cried he—“ a rabid dog. He’s bit me. Oh,I ga mad V* / f

sister in. [ That showed how much he loved h e r!]* The time has come, thought I to have som e fun . H e shan ’t get in agane. The horse shall take frite and run away with me an’ sis, then I’ll call out and stop him.

So I struck a match and lit the fire-crack­ers, and thru’em under the horse’s heels, which went off like a thousand of brick. You never herd such a racket—fizz, fuss, split, crackle, sizzle, bang!

Bess she yelled; Mr. Wilkins he groaned; the horse run away liekety split; you never see. I was awful scart myself. ' I called outt and tride to get the ranes, but; they was down under the horse, and it was dark as pith. I expected nuthing but we would' both be killed.

B attle -te -b an g ! we went, miles and miles. M r. W ilkins he. was le ft in the rode, far, fa r1 V- -

behind. Bess screaming every jump the animal gave, I tell yu, jgt was fereful.

Pretty soon we began to come into tow n, where it was lite. Men run out and tried to stop us. A fter awhile the horse he riln plump into the livery stable where he be­longed. W asn 't he a .1 know ing hotse ? T hare he stopt rite still and trembled. The men they helped us out. . Then I said to Bess:

“ What for made you yell so ! There wasn’t any danger.”

“ George Hacket, is that you ?” I thought it was a mad dog atrying to bite me all the time. What w:is that made that noise? I never was scTfritened. You notty, wicked boy 1 "^Tou Ihite have been the deth of me. You’ll get the awfullest whipping you ever had in all your life"! I don’t beleeve I ’ll ev­er g£t over this nite. Oh, Mister Livry- Stabel-Keeper, won't you take another horse and go baelc for Mr.- Wilkins—he’s in the road soinewhere, a few- milefe back. Oh, what a mercy that we weren’t smashed into 10,000 peaces I Oh, I shall' fante; You bad, notty, troublesom boy; see what you’ve done. < YoUfr father’ll give you fits.” ■

“ I didn’t mean -np harm ,” said I ; “ Igotins would talk about. I think if I called a girl a angel; I wouldn’t jump out an* leve her alone with a mad dog. Oho! he’ll have the hydrafobia bad, won’t he ? Mebbe he’s got it a ’ready, he’s bit so bacH Mebbe it will make his other, eye go When he gets fits! I f he’s goin’ to have ’em ,. I hope they’ll come on ’fore Christmas, Miss.Bess.”

1 couldn’t finish what I had to say; my sister clapped her hand over my mouth, the men they grinned, an’ I had to walk off home, ’causQ Bess she pushed me.

They were sittin’ ilown to tea when we come in. Things smelt so good, I was dred ful hungry; but I had a heavy heart—I knew I’d catch it.

“ Perfectly incorrugable,” said father, when Bess got through.

“ You go to bed till I get reddy to atted to you, sir.”

As I went sloly an’ sorrowfully up stairstfI heard .Sue an’ the docktor laff like they’d choke theirselves—I don’t kno what about.

So Betty sho sneaked in ’bout 9 o’clock, bringing me a jolly good, hot supper. Betty is a jewel. She don’t like Mr, Wilkins nuth er, no more’n I do, She sez it is too badhow I get in to scrapes, a innocent little boy that tries so hard to be a model. She says that Mr. Wilkins just got back a-».ful dusty,a n ’ h is boot b u rs t ou t whare he jum ped ou t the buggy. I ast her had his glass eye be­gun to' go. She said it hadn’t.

Aii Old Style Commercial Traveler*

£

One of the old style of commercial travel­ers was Jack Hazzard, of New York. . Jack was passionately fond of the pasteboards, and wonld occasionaly even indulge in a lit­tle game with the boys in th e . basement of the store, when not upon the road.

On© morning when thus engaged, the old man was heard approaching' and Jack stuff- d Ms last tripk ih his pocket, chucked the st of the pack into an empty case, and the

company broke up. The cause of the in­trusion was soon explained by Jack receiv • ing an~ order to start for Philadelphia at once with samples of a jiew line of goods.

Jack flung the samples into a valise, put on a clean paper collar, bought - ten cigars for a quarter, and started at once. Arrived in Philadelphia his fi^st call was on an'” old Quaker house on Broad street. Pulling himself together Jack marched in, and lay-fing a card before the senior partner, w h#' was busily engaged at his desk, said in his- most sanctimonious manner:

“ That is the p£rty I have the honor -to represent.”

The old follower of Penn looked earefully at the card, and then, fixing-his steely blub eyes on Jack, handed it back say in g :

• ‘ If that is the party thee represent, thee will find Philadelphia well stocked with Ms goods.” a

Jack cast one horrified look at the card. It was the “ little joker,” on wMch a fellow clerk had strongly sketched the head and horns of his Satanic Majesty, and the bold salesman for once discomfltted, beat a hasty retreat to Ms hotel.

9bA n I ta lia n professor has m ade some

very agreeable m edical researches, re ­su ltin g in th e discovery th a t th e veg­etable perfum es exercise a positive ly healthful influence on the a tm osphere , converting its oxygen in to ozone, ;and th u s increasing i ts ox id iz ing influenc es. The essences found to develop th e la rg e s t q uan tity o f ozone are these of th e cherry , laurel, clover, lavender, m in t, jum per, fennel, and bergam ont; those th a t give i t in sim ilar quan tit- ses are an ise , n u tm eg an d thym e. T he flowers o f the narc issus, hyacin th m ignonette , helio trope an d lily of-the valley develop ozone in closed vessels

dev^opelt, and those which have slight perfume develope it in small quantities. Reasoning from these facts, the professor recommended,the cultivation,of flowers in marshy dist., and in all places infested with animal emanatiyns, on account of the power­ful oxodizing influence of ozene.

A farmer at Akron, Mo., was attacked by his savage bull in a high-fenced yard, and could not escape. A hired man came with a gun to shoot the beast. “ Don’t kill him,’ cried the farmer, thinking of the loss; ‘just hit him on the shoulder.’ The man fired asdirected, only inflicting a wound that mad­dened the bull and incited him to gore the farmer to death.

A great inconvenience, if not a positive danger, now threatens New York, in the very limited ice supply. This article is an abso­lute necessity and during hot weather as high as 12,000 tons per day are used. With out ice there is great suffering among the people, and loss in perishable goods. This state of affairs will tend to lengthen the stay of city people in the country.

Since the termination of his trial Jesse Billings has flourished amazingly/ He has sold all his ice at a clear profit of $10,000, has five canal boats under process of con­struction, and recently added a fine farm to his augmenting possessions.

MR, JOSEPH M i d i .Stone in the Kidney expelled after using Dr.

David Kennedy’s “ Favorite Remedy” about two weeks.

One of the most remarkable cases that has ever been brought to the notice of the public, is that of Mr. J. S. Beach, of Stone Ridge, Ulster Co., N. Y. Mr. Beach had suffered since October 18th, 1874, from the presence of Ca\culous or stone in the right Kidney. No less than seven physicians were employed at different times, to whom Mr, Beach paid hundreds of dollars for medical treatment,with only temporary relief from his agony.

By the urgent solicitations of his friends he was induced to try Dr. David Kennedy’s ‘Favorite Remedy”—experienced a marked

improvement from the first day he began to use the medicine : on the 15th of September he voided a stone as large as could be passed through the natural channel.,

Mr. Beach concludes a long letter to Dr. Kennedy by s a y i n g “It will always afford me.'pleasure to1 reccommend the “Eavorite Remedy” to those who maybe suffering from difficuMes/of the Kidneys aud Bladder^ or anydfeorders arisingfromanimpurestate of the blpOdi The ‘ ‘Fayorit^Remedy ” sold by afl drbgg^sts* T te Wc*clbr§ronly address, is Bbh^ohvifew York. * ■ ^ • • >

D r . K e n n e d y .—Among our most generous advertisers

there is one whom we consider more than a simple acquaintance of business. This one is Dr. D. Kennedy ot Bondout.

We have known the doctor only a few years, yet he seems like an old personal friend, ever destributing favors with a liber­al hand, and in such a manner as to at once impress you with Ms worthy intent.

The Dr. has not only done a great deal of good in relieving suffering humanity, but has been a most liberal patron of the press. He pays well, and pays cash, wMch is a rare case among the general' advertisers. That Ms advertising in the Monitor pays*, and that his medicine is no humbug is verified from the fact that over 175 bottles of his medicine was sold in this village in one year.

A Practical J o k e -Two young men called upon two young

ladies residing on Fourth street, Troy, N. Y. qne Sunday evening recently, and when about to start for home stepped around the corner to get some cigars.leaving their horse at the dopr. The young ladies, desiring to play a practical joke on the youths, took possession of the carriage and started out for a drive. The horse ran away, the veM- cle was wrecked, and the ladies sustained se vere injuries, consisting of Cuts about the face, contusions and the loss of several teeth. No more practical jokes for them.

The greatest discovery of pur day, so far as large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR- BOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, ar. 1 which effects a complete and radical enrein case < ? baldness, or where the liair, owing to diseases» i the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall ou; . It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use se­cures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings bat j: the natural color, and gives the most complete sa.- iafaction in themsing. The falling outuf the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color .are all evidences of a diseased con­dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish tl: 3

hair. To arrest these causes the article usqd must possess medical as well as chemical virtues,%nd tlie change, must begin under the sca/p to be of perma­nent and lasting benefit. Such an article is, C All- BOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov­eries, it is found to consist of elements almost iu their natural state. Petroleum oil is • the articl > which is made to work such extraordinary resuk; ; but it is aftei it has beea chemically treated a::i

\ completely deodorized that it is in proper c.ouditk:i for the toilet. It was In far-off Russia that f j effect of petroleum upon tlie hair was first'observeu, a Government officer having noticed that a partial:/ bald-headed servant of his, when trimming vtli> lamps, had a habit ofSvipiing his oil-besmcarc I hands in his scanty locks, and the result wa’s in a few months a mnch finer head of black, glossy iu.r than he ever had before. The oil was tried '.1 horses aud cattle that had lost their liair from the cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails < ? horses, which had fallen out, were completely re­stored in a few weeks. These experiments weirs heralded to the world, but the knowledge was pr....:- tically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, a j no one in civilized society could tolerate the use <. f refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But 11. 1

skill of one of our chemists has overcome the di:ll- calty, and by a process known only to himself, I: > has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, suc­ceeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which readers it susceptible of being handled as daintily as the famous eau de cologne. The experiments with the deodorized liquid on the human hair were at­tended with the most astonishing results. A few applications, where the hair was I bin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigor to tho scalp and hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears ou the lirst or second dressing, and the liquid so search­ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and set up a radical change from the starr. It is well known that the most beautiful colors are inade from petroleum, and, by some mysteriou.3 operation of nature, the use of this article gradu­ally iinparts a beautiful light-brown color to the hair which by continued use, deepens to a black. The color remains permanent for an indefinite length

■ot time, and the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it is the most wonderful discovery of the age, and well calculated to make the prema­turely bald aud gray rejoice.

T7 e advise our readers to give it a triaT, feeling satisfied lliat one application will convince them or its wonderful effects.—Pittsburgh Commercial of Oct. 22,1877.

The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the most gratifying and encouraging results : i

W: H. B r i l l & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says. “We have sold'preparktious for the hair fdr upWartl of twenty years, but have never had one to sell as well orgive such universal satisfaction. Wc there­fore recommend it with confidence to our friends and the general public.”

Mr. G ustaves F. H a ll, of the Oates Opera Troupe, writes: . “ After six weeks’ use 1 am con-' vinced, as arc also my comrades* that your 4 Carbo- line’ has and is producing a wonderful growth ofhair where I liad none for years.”

C„H. S m ith , of the Jennie Right Combination, writes: 44 After using yonr ‘Garboline’ three weeksI * 1 convinced that buld heads can be 1 re-haired.'•It’s simply wonderful iu myoase.”
