A You ro through Life, Don't look for 'he Haws as you -;o through life; And even when you find them, It i- wi-se and kind to be somewhat blind And look for the virtue behind them, For the cloudiest ni-iht has a hint ot bht Soiuowhere in the shadows hiding; It is better by far to hunt for a star. Than the spots on the sun abiding. The current of life runs ever away To the hosor- of God's gret ocean. Don't set your course against the river's course And think to alter its motion. Don't waste a curse on the universe Remember, it lived before you, Don't butt at the storm with your puny form Rut bend and let it go o'er you. The world will never adjust itself To suit your whims to the letter, Some things must go wron your whole life long. And the sooner you know it the better. It is folly to light with the I nfinit 3, And go under at last in the wrestle, The wiser man, shapes into God's plan xs the water shapes into a Tessel. Ella WkicKr in the Ladtt Home Journal Ao IVurk, ."o IIeiiure. (Ledger.) Some polemics argue that but for that unfortunate affair in Paradise, we should now be living in a play day instead of a wyrk-day world. Y'et labor seems so essential to the happiness of I he human family as at prescut constituted , that one can scarcely conceive of true enjoyment without it. It is not reasonable to sappose that ADAM was cyer an idle man, or EYE an indolent wo man. When we are past work , the re rne"ibruiice of our labors, if they have bfen honorable and useful, is the chief eoi;."e of our retire me at. Does ii man derive the same pleas, ure from tho possess;:.' of wealth, when he has received it as an ins heritanee, thai he would have deriv ed from a competence won by the sweat of his brow or the energy of Ins brain? Evcrv one knows that he does notj The veteran merchant takc3 comfort in the recollection of his business enterprises, when the pastimes and recreations of his youth and maturity seem to him "stale, fiat and unprofitable." Yes, the memories of labor are sweet. Let the father who desires the real happiness of his children set them to work endeavor to give them a rtlish for employment. No matter how rich in this world's goods he may ba able to make them, he ia not their true friend if he brings them np in idleness. 5"ij l'sipcr "va Itead. (Caucasian.) Years ago, when Henry Grady was straggling to bring the Rome Com mercial into fiont ranks, says the Home (Ca.) Tribune, be called one day and asked the Rounsaville Brothers for an advertisement, J. W Kounsaviiie replied : ''vvhy, Grady, nobody roads your paper; it i3 no use to advertise in it.7' A happy thought suggested itself to Mr. Grady. He went to his olllee and wrote the fol lowing advertisement, which appear ed next morning in tee Commercial: "Wanted, fifty cats. Liberal price for the same. Apply to the Rounsa ville Brothers.'' Well, the picture that presented itself at Ronnsaville's corner next morning beggars de scriplion. Roys of all ages and sizs boys of tints , from the fair headed youth to the sabie Ethiopian; bare foot boys aud ragged boys, red head ed boy?, freckle faced boy; town boys aud country boys boys from ail parts ot Floyd county blocked up the sidewalks, doorways and street with bags full of cats cats of every description, name and order hoase cats, yard cat-, barn cats church cats fat cats and lean, ' honest cats and thievish cats. Well. to make a long Biory short, the Rountavilk'S told Mr. Grady to re serve a column for their advertise ment as long as his paper continued; and that was just what Grady wanted. "How delicious is the winning 0;'a kisa, at love's beginning," sings the poet, and bis sentiment is true with one possible exception.

GOOD READING ON THE TARIFF. 1. 00 K OX THAT PICTURE AND TIIIrX ON THIS. (N. Y. Herald.) A gentleman writes to the Herald in the following strain : "I am a poor man; one of the des pised Kaighls of Labor. My oppor tunities for study have been few, and my opinion on matters as compre hensivo as tbe McKiuley bill are therefore without weight. Won't yon kindly answer these two ques tions : Will the tfTect or that bill be to restrict the market for Ameri can products? And If it will bo, is not that an injury rather than a bene fit to the country?" Mighty important questions these, but they are easily answered and the answer will not be favorable to the bill. First If yen raiso the price of a &iven article you thereby decease the demand for it. If people can get it at a cheap rate they will buy i; if it is dear they will manage to do without it. That is one of the axioms ol supply and demand. Make woollen goods, for instance, so plentiful that Jlhey come within reach of everybody's purse and everybody will buy them, because woollen is necessary to health in the winter's cold. Make them so scarce that they become dear and yoa at once put them out of reach of the wage earning clas?, which is the largest class in all communities. Second If the demand is lijht because the goods cost too rnucb, then the manufacturer, very natural ly and properly for he tloesn't pre tend to be a philanthropist runs his mill on three-quarter time and consequently on three-quarter wages. He can't afford to pile up a loss, and so informs fifty per cent of his men that ho doesn't need them any longer. There you have, say, five hundred men thrown out of work because the Price of woollen goods is so dear that people will do without them as much as possible. Third 2sow extend the range of high prices. Make the general cost of living dearer. A little more must be paid for this, that and tbe other article of household comfort, a feu cents more for every kitchen utensu, a few shilliDgs more for the bed the city and used their medicines for blankets, for the baby's clothes, and a long time without getting any re 30 forth and so forth, untii the whole: lief. I was finally given up to die, domain is covered , what then? j when a friend advised me to try the Why. that a thousand manufac- j Microbe Killer. As the last resort turers limit their product, for Caere! j gr.ve it a trial, and the relief it gave is no sense and no profit in iliod;u!mQ was wonderful. When I com the market. Then these same thou-1 menced to take the Microbe Killer sand manufacturers discharge a part of their working force, and the un employed are found in every nook and corner of the country. That is precisely the effect of the McKiuley bill, and you can aee it with one eye shut. Now. look at the other cd :e. Sup pose, the democratic policy of a world's market for American manu- DlXOiV, Urn facturers were C3tab.ished, what would happen? We ccnld undersell any country in Christendom, for wc have the machinery, the genius, the enterprise and the educated labor. The motto would then be, Cheap i;oods , large sulci and saiiill proGts. Start up all o;ir mi!!", for what you make is within everybody's reach. Rim them long hours. Double the number of hands, for there is brisk tnuie and a heavy demand You can afford to pay fair wages. The great army of idlers who are willing to nork, but can'c get iO to do, are comfortable, well housed, well fed, well clothed, happy and contented. This everlasting warfare between capital and lnbor settles it' self, for all the men in the country aro o busy that they cannot stop to grumble. A big market, plenty of work for all except the criminal and lazy, a general bustling, rustling, hurrying, .scurrying time what more do men want, and what is there better on this planet to have? Can nu get such a condition of affairs nut of tbe McKinley bill, with us liuse profits for the trust and monopoly and all creation full of un employed men! As well trv to squeeze sunlight out of a cucumber Rut give us cheap goods and plenty of tbern, fn'r wages and work for all, and you are as close to mill ennial prosperity a circumstances nprrpit 'fi:l Ptl'l'f h'li-ir. !

If taken in tirue, as soon as tbe chick is noticed to gapo and sneeze, it can be cured.

Toe odor will, as a rule., kill the worm, and the chick can then easily dislodge it. English fanciers re commend corn meal boiled, into whioh a tallow candle has been otir red, then feed cold.

Some ofthcni are us simple as they look, while 1 1 1 ! : c i - have a very large share of common sense bidden under their crude ex terior. Tbe other day a tali, raw-boned and dastv gentleman from the hav titlds strolled into a fashionable res taurant aud took a seat, "i be waiter whose duty it was to serve him, se- veielv observed the innocence ol bis eye, the primeval cut of bis beard and the jagged irregularity of ln tiousers. Tbe servant made up bis mind after a caieful survey of the rural paitj that there was not a ecu: there for him. mid so be nroivdedati 1 ...II once to treat bun with the ditoam deserved by one of such impecunious dimensions. The countryman ordered a simple and economical meal, and the waiter turned up his nose, shullled lazily about, and prope'led the dishes over the table with that indescribable haughtiness of manner possible only to the proud menial. The hayseed retained his genial smile throughout the repat, not deiguing to notice the impeit inence of the waiter. When be finished be called for bis bill and counted out the precise change to settle it. As the servant made suie be was to get no tip, bo deftly upset a glass of water in such a way that it flowed into the- count r man's lap. The latter quietly dried the, w with his napkin and rose to go. Upon reaching the door of the restaurant, he turned ond said to another waiter who was standing near : "I bad an umbrell.y when I kern in. I reckon I left it over thar by my table." This was a better disposed waiter than the other, and he hastened after the old gentleman's umbrella without any exhibition of contempt. When he letuiued the eountrym in took a dollar bill from bis pocket and said: 'I like your way, young man. Here's a dollar lor ye. If. ye had waited on me at dinner I motight a made ye rich ." The disdainful waiter was watch ing the comedy, and, when he saw the crisp greenback pass from the countrv man's baud into that of his co laborer, he sighed and iealized that all waiters are not wise men, nor all countrymen complete fools. To Prevent Pneumonia. ! (S. C. Intelligencer.) j As pneumonia is rsscntially a j congestive disease, the best pro-; ventive measures are tho.e, which : avoid the causes of congestion. Pulmonary congestion is favored! by too heavy clothing worn in j winter weather. A serious error i I the supposition that a double set ; of flannels worn next the skin atfords j double protection. The fact is in : snch a case the inner flannel absoibs all secretion and perspiration, which are then retained by the outer l!an nel. An almost poultice-like action i is thus brought about, softening I the skin ana leruenng i nign-y , susceptible to the slightest expo- sure. Over heated, ill-ventilated loom:-, aud the Midden tiansit;o; from these to the sharp outer air. are other avoidable pre!ispo:ug causes of the disease, lie who uses : a cold sponge bath with brisk rub. bing every morning, who wears the ; lightest clothing consistent with j comfortable piotection, and kteis; his living room well ventilated and at a mean temperature cf ',- de grees, is em;. loving the l pre ventive tre rment of pneuaionia known to sanitary .-eience.
