Ui:iEK.H!MM> TO HK HONEST The otlior day a man with a gaunt look halted before an eating stand at the central market, and alter a long survev ot the viands he .said to the wo- " I am u poor man, out I'll be honest if I have t> be buried 111 paupers'field." " What's the matter now?" asked the woman, regarding him with suspicion. *' No one saw inc pick up a jj[2o bill here bv this stand early this morning, but as I jeaid befoic I'll be honest. ' " A s>Qbil]—picked up!" she whis-. pored, bringing a bland smile to her lace. . " I suppose," . he continued, " that some one passing along here could have dropped such a bill, but it seems more 1 cnsOliable to think that the money was lost by you. " Don't talk quite so loud," she said as she leaned over the stand. " You arc an houest man, and I'll have your name put in the papers so that all may know it. I'm n hard-working widow, and if vou" hadn't brought back that money it would have gone hard witli my poor little children?" " If I pick up money by a stand I always give it up," he said as he «a down 011 one of the stools. " That's * right— that's honest," bhe whispered. " Draw l ight up here have sonic breakfast." . He needed no second invitation. The way ho went for cold ham, fried sau. sage, bußcuit aud coffee was terrific to the woman. "Yes—i—um —try—to—be—lion est,' the remarked between bites. " That's right. If I found any MOTier belonging to you I'd give it up, you bet. Have ano the r cup ol coffee ?" « Don't—care—fidoo." ho said, as he jammed more lmin into his mouth. Even courtships have an ending. The old chap finally bogan to brca'he like a foundered horse, and proity soon after that ho rose from the tabic. " You arc a good man to bring my lost monoy back," said the woman, as she brushed away the crumbs. " Oh I'm honest,'' lie replied: " when I find any lost money I always give it up." " Well, I'll take it now, please," she said, as ho begau to buttou his over, coat. " Take what?" he asked. " That lost money you found." " I didn't find any J I'll bo honest with you. however, if I ever do flndany around here?" " You old liar! Didn't you say you found a S2O bill here?" " No, ma'am. I said that no one saw mc pick up dhch a bill here!" '• Pay me for theui pervishunsl" she yelled, Clutching at his throat, " I'll be honest with you—l havn't a cent I" he replied as he held her ofi. She tried to tip him over into a barre] or charcoal, but he broke loose, and before she recovered from her amaze ment ho was a block away and gallop ing like a stage horse.— Detroit Free Preu. [From the Virginia Patron.] WHAT COMBINATION DID, Tho farmers aud pork-packers have had a contest in Cincinnati, in which the farmers have been victors, as they Al ways will be when they act together. It seems that tho farmers had 40,000 Logs in pens at Cincinnati, for which the rcfUsed to give $5 per hun dred. TlkU tho farmers refused and demanded $7.60, without which they would drive their hogs home. The packers wilted and paid tho price, the farmers thus scouring for themselves the handsome sum of $300,000 more than thev would havo obtained bnt for com bination. This is something new, the farmers, unlike other producers, having to sub nit to the ignoble necessity ot allowing the parties wM> buy to fix a price on the articles they offer for sale. But the Grange is teachiug its members that they have rights as well as power. Wo have only to stand together, with a fixed resolve to make our busiuess efforts a success. If we fail at first we mustnot despair, but try again, and keep ou trying until we folly illustrate that there a strength in anion. President Bergh has won hiahog case, the question lnvolvod. being whether certain hog slaughters in New York should bo permitted to hoist the porkers by the leg from the ground floor three or four stories above, where theirthronts were cot. The ooort of common pleas in New York takes the view that they must change there practice to conform to Mr- Bergh's] more merciful process of converting swino Into pork. Mr. Bergh's,heart is as ten der as that of the famous Mrs. Patington, who astonisncd the mischievous Ike, when ho was about to drown some superfluous kittens in the tub to be sure and pqt some warm water In it to take the-chlli efl,—WhWL ington Star. = _J; '* *• As a German girl approaches the comple tion of her education, her studies ate some what ffrfl 1 *! and she atttends once or twice a week at a Nalichnlc, where lessons are given her IB cutting out, Axing, pelclng patching and darning, and ornamental stiching.

Fin ally the pastor approached him, and said; , '• My friend don't yoji \yu;t to be sav ed?" "No!"' thundered the sinner, "I don't." The pucacher left him and finally called upon all "who desired salvation to rise. Everybody rose but the old man. The minister then rec|i l it : > Kjed .all who did not desirq to, saved , to rise. The stalwart form of the old man towered above the heads of the audience and his eyes were riveted upon the preacher. . " There," raid the latter, "is a nian who desirca to go tu bell; behold hint!" The object of the preachers solicitude then sa'ul, iu a loud voice, "lull in mi j but scorn to tell ft lie in wauted religion I would kneel at the altar, among the people ot God. As 1 don't want it. I prefer to remain with people like myself, The only difference i', that they speak falsehoods when they pretend to desire salvation, while I con fine myself to the truth." This eccentric genius subsequently became a christian and id now one of the pillars of the chureb. A Doctor went out West to pactice his profession. One day a frieud met him on the etro«t,«»d asked him how he was succeeding .iu business. «'First rate," he replied. "I've had one case." ""And what was that?" "It was a birth!" said the doctor. -"How did yeu succeed with that?" "Well, the old woraaa died and the child died, but the old man baa a strong eonatitn tion, and I think I'll aave him yet !" Moody, in one of hi* Brooklyn w monssaid: 44 Suppose that President Grant or some other politician should die suddenly, there would be commo tion and distress through the whole country, yet in heaven it might not be known at all." Brother Moody is a born humorist, says the Richmond Enquirer. In a recent scandal ca«e in Smith county, Ky. f a lady witness declined to answer a question, and the attorney demanded her reason. Because it is not fit to tell decent people." "Q, well,'' said the lawyer, " just walk up here and whisper it to the Judge." Child—" Does the Lord take the pa pers?" Mother—" No, my child, why do you ask?" Child—" Oh, I thought He didn't it takes our minister so long to tell Him about things." Amongihe most useful plants of New Mexico is the soap weed, the roots oj which are used as soap. The Mexicans prefer it to soap, claiming that }t ex tracts all dirt and grease, and restores the lustre of the goods.

Walker's (jilil'oniia Vin egnr Hitters arc n purely Vcpetablo preparation, made cliiclly from the na tivQrliciUs found oi» tho lower ranges of 4 tho Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, tho medicinal properties of which aro extracted therefrom without the-use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is tho cause of tho unparalleled success of VINEGAR BIT TERS t" Our answer is, that they removo the cause of disease, and tho patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier auda lifc-giviug principle, a perfect Renovator aud Invigorator of tho system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded paflessiug the remarkable qualities of VIMKQAB B,ITTEES inhcaliug tho sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of DR. WALKER'S VIKEGAR BITTKRS are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious ( Laxative, Diuretic, Bedattve, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera tive. and A nti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim VIN EGAR BITTEKS the most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained the sinking' system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long onwelL provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter mittent Fevers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, IllinoW, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Bed, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country daring the Summer and Autumn, .ud remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryuess, are invariably accompanied by extensive do rangements of tne stomach aud liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or - gans, is essentially nocessary. There is no cathartie for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove tho dark colored viscid .matter with which the bowels are loaded, at tho same timo stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the .healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids.with VINEGAR BITTERS. NO epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed.

For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal.
