"As if I were to be converted like u

ridden on a little. ' Hut women are not
ipoetod to liavo minds like ours." And
out of another pocket he pulled an infidel
tract, which a friend, an unbelieving doc

It was not a very wise thin;;, as the
horse left to hiuiself, stumbled over some

"Hang the tract !" growled Hob, "what

lie felt it. It was safe, lie was
somehow better, and be walked idling
with kis bridle nyr his arm in quite a
melancholy mood.
Suddenly a shadow fell aerosa the road
and Bob looked np S'traight Ik fore him
a man aat .with a blauk mask on his face
and a pistol in Via band.
-'Haiti" commanded llie individual,
ferociously; and Hob halted. "If you arc
quiet, you will come to no harm," said
the man. I only want your mail bag. I
happen to know that it U worth some
thing to-night, and I've followed you
from the store back yonder. There ain't
a soul within hearing and you may as well
take it coolly; I am armed, you see; you
are not. Hand over the bag."
"Never," exclaimed Rib. "The mail
bag is in may enru entrusted; I'll guard
it as long as I have breath in my body."
"That won't be long," with a course
c.li. "if yuu don't listen lu reason."
Huh. fur reply, mounted his horse and
Lt behind the luail-b:t;.
'Your life is in danger," warned the
liber. "I intend to have those lelters,
ami a life isn't worth much lo me. I'm

lilieMe aim at Hob levies breast.
Hub was unarmed aud he loved life

mortal injuries. Probably he had re

Hob well knew reposed the money which
Herpetic Hick Dorr had sent to take his
poor old mother from the almshouse, and
thor trusts were in that leather bag the
humble hopes and dreams of those who
wrote the letters twined around them.

upon the highwayman with such vigur
that the mall tumbled fl'um bis saddle.
Then Huh struggled fur llie pistol, and
lining it, knocked the ruffian senseless
with the butt end, and sat down ou his
mail-bag to keep guard, expecting to die

Abuut that time a party of young nu n,
who were out oil a Coon hunt, came up
with flaring torches, ami a scurc of dogs
at (heir heels. They all knew Hub well.

tlur rubber; but the voice of the majority
was fur binding him and carrying him tu

uf justice, and with this parly Hob
igreed.
lie felt weary and his breast ached,
mil he expeeted every moment to feel the
faiuluess of death stealing over him; for
there was the round hole just over his
heart, and the bullet must be somewhere.
A few unpleasant misgivings, which
proved that his opinions of the future
were not so fixed as they might have
been troubled him, and he sighed us
tin' new-comers questioned him.
"The bullet went in here," he said,
touching the bole. "1 don't feel any pain,
and must be bleeding inwardly if at all, I
think."
lie unbuttoned his coat cautiously, and
out dropied Annie Wesley's Hiblo, with
(he bullet deeply imbedded in its cover.
The tears came to Hob's eyes and the
others started, for he hail been in the
habit of boasting of his infidel opiuious
and it was odd enough that ho should
wear a Hiblo next to his heart. Hut
every one was too glad to find him unhurt
to care for much else, uud so they gave
him three cheers, mid started toward the
city wit la (heir prisoner.
Hob followed, leading his horse, and
keeping his eyes on the mail-bag, ami on
the way he thought what he thought
inighl be ilivinciH'in the fact that six
uiuiilhs after, Annie Wesley found her
luver by her side at church, aud heard
from his own lips that he had not half so
high au upiuiou of his own smartness and
that of his doctor friend as formorly,
and he believed she was right after all.
And so they weie married, and for
many years have been living very con
tentedly in their cottage ou the outskirts
of .Madison.

Two ladies were overheard talking over
the fi nee as fulluws:
"What is the matter with your baby?
I don't bear it cry any more."
-I have cured it of bawling."
-'lhi you give it soothing syrup with
opium iu it?"
"No, I deli, I give it any medicine at all.
1 have adopted au entirely different sort
plan."
' What is it?"
"When it begins to cry I smear the
tips i f its little fingers with molasses, and
give it a few feathers to hold in one hand.
Its attention becomes aroused and it picks
off the feathers with llie other hand. The
feathers stick to the olhel hand, of cour.v.
and the little darling picks them off again.
The little angel's mind is thus so complete
ly absorbed with the feathers that it for
gets to cry."

How the world ever managed tu roll on
su many years without matches is a prob-
lem
How our iihecntry ever had patience,
and pT.-'cToraii',c, and "elbow grease," to
rub flint and steel together and strike a
file on tinder beats our comprehension.
Now, what a dreadful tiling it would
be to have' no mutches at hand! How
nervous the woman is who, alter she has
gone to bed for the night, and had a little
nap. wakes up and renu mbers that there
are no matches in the room!
She falls to wondering what she had
better do. She knows that a long flight
of stairs, and a ilraurdity hall, and a quar
ter of an acre of cold, slipp-ry oil-cloth
lies between her ami the kitcheu, where
the matches are left in a broken stone
butter-jar, with a brick on the cover, for
fear the mice or the rats or the eat will
knock the enter off and set the matches
going aud fire the house and bum every
body iu their beds some dark uight when
the wind is blowing a hurricane, aud the
firumeti are holding ti ball and the hy
drants nro 'ill frozen solid.
She wonders if her feet would be very
cold if she should pet up and go down,
and if she would bo able tu steer clear of
things in the dark ? She wonders if
there is any such thing as a ghost? She
shivers as she remembers huw very, very
dismal it always seems creeping down
those stairs in the looiu, and feeling al
ways as if somebody or something was
following I
She draws one cold foot up and lets it
glide slowly down the sleeping six feet of
manhood beside her. Nothing wakes up
a man so quick if hat sort of thing, and
one must have bv.;i some time a wife to
know just how to do it.
llt-r husband turns over with a snort,
ami wants to know what she means by
freezing him to death; and he remarks, iu '
his most aggravating tone of voice, that he '
does wish a woman Went to bed to sleep,
instead of to rant round and pull the bed
clothes all off from everybody.
Then she ventures to tell him that she
can't sleep because there are no matches
in llie room. What if she should be
taken suddenly ill, or he should have one
of his eolic spells, or the bahy should have
the croup, or there should be a burglar iu
the house, or anything should happen?
And she sits up in bed, aud peers round
into the gloom, and fancies she hears
something in the closet, and tries to re
member if she put her diamond ring
under l he bureau aud her pocket-book
between the beds when ishe retired.
What a terrible need she is in for just
one little match ! How the need grows
as she worries over it ! How she docs
wish lie would stop snoring, so that she
could listen and make sure; about that
noise in the closet ! How slit- does wish
she had married a man who could sym
pathize with tier in her troubles !
How strange that she should forget to j
bring up those mutches I And she regis-
ten a vow that if she lives till niuruiii",
she will fill llie mutt h i . fe heaping full.
Yes, she wi'l !
She ignores the faet that hundreds of
peaceful nights have gone by uud she has
not thought of matches, because there
were plenty in the room. Sho calls her
husband heart less because he asks her
"what in the dickens she wants of
matches;" and so she lies and worries the
night away, ami iu the nu ruing wonders
whatever did make her so nervous. And
she lays the blame to thy cup of tea she
drunk, just as well alt must lay the blame
for our silly little fright and worries ou
anything rather than ou our owu want of
reason and t-ounuuu sense.
POISON IX KISSINO.
In an address delivered before the
l'tiea(X. .) medical faculty Dr. I). M.
Terry said : Lives are daily sucrificcd and
diseases are daily cummuiiieuted by the
promiscuous habit of kissing. As a cus
tom it should be abandoned among
women in their (reelings.
In the sacred precincts of the fireside,
when death has laid its relentless hands
on one of its members, the common prac
tice of kissing is liable to induce scptiic
mia, and thus other precious lives be ex
posed to the veuoniuus sting of death. As
you ean more easily see the action of
drug when given ill a largo dose, so you
will sec tuure pointedly the danger arising
from kissing by giving an illustration of a
inaligiiaut disease.
There is no longer any doubt in regard
to the iuucubility aud infectiousness of
ouusiimption. Il is not an established fact
that it is not contagious. When you re
member that mure die by its insidious
bands than from any other cause, but few
families or relatives of families can be
exempt from it. This being true, should
not hmsous visiting such unfortunate in
dividuals to do away with the accustomed
mode of greeting by kissing? A disc
which has resisted the treatment of the
most skilled up to the present day should
be prevented if possible. Is human lil'
to he sacrificed for the sake of eoul'orm
ing to custom ? Change the custuni; and
other ways of greeting will be equally
popular aud much more sensible and
safe.

Jim Webster was brought up before
an Austin Justice of the I'cuee. It was
the same old charge that used to bother
him iu (ialvestoii. Alter the evidence
was all iu, the Judge, with a perplexed
look, said :
11 Hut I do not comprehend, Webster,
how it was possible for you to Me;il those
chickens when they were roosting right
under the owner's window, aud there were
two vicious dogs in the yard."
"Hit wouldn't do yer a bit of good,
Jedge, for me splain how I cutclu-d dcui
chickens, for yer couldn't do hit ycrself if
ver tried hit forty times, and yer infant
get yer hide full oh buckshot de Wry

De bes' way for you ter di, J edge, is fur
yer ter buy yer chickens in de market,
aud when yer wants to commit any ras

at home."
WIOCKi: NOT TO STAltT A PA
l'EK, In his letter to the amateur journalist,
Hubert J. Hiirdette offers sotuo sage ad
vice regarding the starting of newspapers.
Says:
If 1 ,( start a newspaper in a town
w here nobody wants a paper;
(In here there are already five papers
in a two-paper town.
( Ir if a long-primer man try to start a
nonpareil paper;
( Ir if he try to run an eight-column
paper on a two-column basis;
Or if he skins his home advertisers and
cuts rates for foreign ads;
Or if he start out by giving a throc-do'-lar
puff for a ten-cent comb;
Or if he starts a paper because ho has
failed at everything else;
Then indeed hath ho bitten T more
than he can masticate, aod h.s paper,
beloved by the Uods, will die young aud
fresh.

along the lake shore that stove lids froitc
iu the holes and when a man went to bed
at night bo had to break the covers with
a club before he could turn then, down to
get miller them."
'That's raw I her cool, but it it's not
patehin' to what we have up in this coun-
tiy. I'll tell you a little experience I had
in January. I run a livery stable, and a
mountain rough came iu to hire a rig. lt
was so cold that I would't let uuything go
out, and the cuss got mad arid begun to
tear around. I followcrcd him out on the
street, and the first thing I kuowed, he
had bis pistol out, poiutiu' right at me.
I thought 1 was a guncr and ' ncked off

"Hid he hit you?"
"No; and that's the fuuny part of it.
The air was I'roae so hard around the ui lu

and I had to pay the blamed fool's doc
