TRUST.
2 take you by the haud, for you are blind,
You trust me follow me where'er I go;
You never questiou iue, because you know
With sight unerring I the path can find.
Tou feel my pity, know me true and kind;
Your feet may stumble and your steps
be glow;
Tireless I guide because I love you so.
And thus your heart to minethe closer bind.
So I in darkness clasp a guiding hand,
That lends me through a rough and track
less wild,
I follow gladly, like a sightless child,
The one whose wisdom all my life has
planned;
Because I need his tender, pitying care,
His presence lingers with me everywhere.
THE HUMORISTS.
A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW AND THEN
18 RELISHED BY THE WISEST MEN.
"Whatever became of that grayhouud
jou had?"
"Killed himself."
"Really?"
"Yes; tried to catch a fly on the small

self in two.
Proud Father ( showing off his boy be
fore company) My son, which would
you rather be, Shakespeare or Edison?
Little son f after meditation ) I'd rath
er be Edison.
"Yes? Why?"
" 'Cause he ain't dead."
"Do you play much on the piano," he
asked after she had finished a selection.
"I use the instrument a good deal for
tilling time," she said.
"Yes, I should suppose you used it for
that."
American Citizen Welcome to free
America!
Immigrant (just landed) Please show
me where I can buy some knives and
pistols.
"You have a Irotlur, I believe, Miss
Harkins?" remarked the new admirer.
"Yes. Why?"
"I have brought hiui a box of gum
drops."
"Better keep them and otTer him a
box of cigars, Mr. Noo. He is over
forty years old."
City Girl Mr. Farmer, why don't
you milk that pretty red and white cow?
Farmer (laconically) She's dry.
City Girl Poor thing; let me give
her a drink of water.
"What is the meaning of the word
lukewarm?" asked the teacher. "John
ny Cumso, you may answer."
"Water is lukewarm when it looks
warm and isn't."
Oh, let us to the picnic grounds,
With cakes, and pie and custard,
Where hostile snakes meander 'round,
And frolic in the mustard.
"The mouth of the Ohio is fifty miles
wide."
"Dear me. With. a mouth of that
size it ought to be called Foraker."

"Ah, fish for me!" I said; said she,
"I knew-not suckers were a-bitting!"
Clara (waking) Whose poem was
that you've just read?
Isabella Why that was Browning's.
Clara I thought so. I knew it the

He has not felt love's power
Who notes time's flight
And takes lees than an hour
To say "Good night."
Miss Fiflhavenue (to young man from
the West) Ah, Mr. Kouboi, do you
sing?
Mr. K. (frankly) Yes'm, if there

THAT TERRIBLE COUGH
In the morning, hurried or difficult breath
ing, raising phlegm, tightness in the chest,
quickened pulse, chilliness in the evening
or sweats at night, all or any of these
things are the first stages of consumption.
Dr. Ackei's English Cough Remedy will
cure these fearful symptoms, and is sold
under a positive guarantee.

A PICMY CAPTURED.
ONE OF THOSE REMARKABLE BEINGS
DESCRIBED BY STANLY NOW I.N
LIVERPOOL.
A London special says: The wonder
ful account given by Henry M. Stanley,
the African explorer of the dwarf tribe
he had met with in equatorial Africa,
has ar oused a great deal of public curi
osity. Mr. Crosa, the Liverpool natural
ist, in order to meet this demand, gave
orders to his agents to obtain, at any
price, the best specimen they could of
this peculiar race, which seems to supply
the long-sort for missing link between
the anthropoid ape and man.
After a loud and tedious search in the
depths of the thirk continent, a remark
able female pigmy was procured from a
native tribe, by which she hail boon cap
tured, and was brought safely to Liver
pool. She is thirty-six inches iu height,
well developed body and jet black com
plexion, with a peculiarly monkeyish ex
pression, and a nose so flat that the lower
part of her face lesembles clo-ely the
muzzle of an animal.
She has learned a little English, and
converses freely, as far as her vocabulary
goes, with those around her. Anothir
decidedly civilized accomplishment she
has also acquired, is to smoke the best
cigars with a relish.
SHOULD A (illtL IIKSITATK?
DIVEltliINO OPINIONS OK TWO
MAIDENS AS TO WOMAN'S SWEKSKST
HOfR.
A young girl, attractive though not
pretty, bright and witty, well-red and
well-bred, whom I love dearly, asked uie
the other day what 1 thought was
woman's sweetest hour.
I have since then discovered her reason
for asking the question.
She anticipated my answer with the
preface that she thought it was when,
having brought the man of her choice to
he point of proposing, she keeps him
waiting a few moments for her answer,
regarding the nature of which she lins
given no inkling so strong as to make it
certain that it will be "Yes."
I am also a young girl, three years her
senior. I have not yet experienced that
"sweet hour'' not, at least, from a stand
that to see and feel the anxiety of one's
love, and to know that it i nil caused by
love for you, should constitute unbound
ed happiness.
Yet my friend's idea strikes me as
somewhat insincere and a trifle cruel.
Were I ever call upon to answer the
most important question of my life, pro
pounded by the man af my heart, I would
find keener joy in unhesitatingly saying
"Yes" than to feign a doubtfulness I did
not feel.
A little beating about the bush at the
outset is perhaps proper enough, but when
you have assured yourself that you are
dealing with aD honest man that loves you
I think that all parn ing and diplomacy
had better be supplanted by frankness and
sincerity. I think the honorable wooer is
entitled to as much information as he has
imparted to his sweetheart.
HONEST ADVICE.
A gentleman in a French restaurant
who desired to get the best that the res
taurant afforded drew a silver coin out of
his pocket and gave it to the waiter be
fore he ordered anything.
"Here is your fee," said the customer.
"Now I want to know, in all confidence,
what you can recommend."
The waiter pocketed the coin.
"You want my honest advice, eh?"
"Certainly."
"Well," said the waiter in a confiden
tial whisper, "I should recommend an
other restaurant!" Detroit Free Press.
CONSUMPTION CURED.
Au old physician, retired from prne
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for the
speedy and permanent cure of Consump
tion, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and
all throat and Lung Affections, also a
positive and radical cure for Nervous De
bility and all Nervous Complaints, after
having tested its wonderful curative pow
ers in thousand of cases, has felt it his
duty to make it known to his suffering
fellows. Actuated by this motive and it
desire to relieve human suffering, I will
send free of charge, to all who desire it,
this recipe, in German, French or English,
with full directions for preparing and
using. Sent by mail by addressing with
stamp, naming this paper. W. A.

CAME TOO I. ATE.
A New Yorker who stopped for three
or four days Inst spring in a bouniiug
Kansas town was so aunoyed by real es
tate men that he finally mado ready to
leave the place. He was waiting to go
to the depot in the omnibus when a very
respectable lookiug man stepped up to
him and said.
"You are Mr. Blank, from New York,
I believe."
'"Yes. sir; but I don't want any real
estate."
"I've heard how you have been an
noyed, and I am very sorry for it, and
I've called to express my personal re
grets that such should have been the
case."
''Thanks. And what may be your
line, please?" queried the New Yorker.
"Oh, I'm a runner for oue of our big
gest faro banks, and if I could have met
you when you first came I could have
lixed it so you would have gone away in
love with our whole population."
