'"vL fjX 1 H -il' 1 On the Fence. Two women leaned over the backyard fence, (The same old fence) as the sun went down, While each told the other, in confidence, The scandals she'd gathered around the town, For women must gossip, or they can't fcleep, They think that secrets weren't made to keep; So they lean on the fence in the gloam ing. Two women sat out on the front-door stoop, In the evening glow, as the sun went down, They told how their children had skipped the croup, And they sneered at the minister's wife's new gown. For women delight in afiiendly chat, Without it their lives would be stale and Hat; So they sit on the stoop in the gloaming. Two husbands came home from the base ball game (From the otlice, they slid.) as the sun went down, Doth ready and eager to hear the same Sweet scandals their wives had hunted down. For men, though they work, love gossip too, And that's why their wires seek something new; As they meet and talk in the gloaming. Houston. Texas. June 20, 1S88.

Why will people continue to do the things that are to their disads vantage? This is a problem that has puzzled as for a long time. Why will a man with a month like the entrance to the Mammoth cave shave his faco smooth, when by allowing his beard to grow he might conceal the opening he so anheitat, ugly offers to the world? Why will a short woman always wear plaid?, which make her look even shorter and more dumpv? And why do tall women take naturally to stripes? Look about yon when yon take a walk down one of our fashionable street?, and notice the fact that the plainest-faced women wear the most striking costumes, as if they hoped by gaudy colors in dress to make amends for undue length of noses and excess of freckles and pimples. Short, fat women wear fur-lined circulars, almost to an individual; and tall , lean women affect short walking jackets, and look like liberty poles with night-gowns on. Long-necked women invariably 'do7' their hair in a French twist, bo as to let all creation observe the fact that their necks are so long ; and short-necked women stick to frogs on the napes of their neck?, and from behind present the appearance of their heads resting on their shoul ders. Small, short men appear in tall hats, under the impression that the tile adds to their height, while in reality it gives them the appearance of a hat walking off with a man. One sees a great deal more hat, propor tionately, than he sscs man. Why will women 2,0 shopping after samples that they never will buy an? thing like, and know that they shall not? Why will people run down every other religion bnt their own? They know they never make converts by so doing. Why can two of a trade never agree? Why does a young man , when be is ?oing a courting, act as if he were doing something he were ashamed off Why do old people so hatu to see young people enjoy themselves? What makes everybody like to hear of bad lack coming to some body else? There are good s u!s in the world who will say that they do not enjoy any thing of the ki d, and perhaps they think so; bat - t let a ecanda) arise alfecting the minister of "the other church ," and see how active j those very same good souls will be to find out every minute particular! Why do boys like to break glass, and stone cat?, and tie tin dippers to dogs' tails? Why do men like to see a runaway? Why does every body in a crowded railway car watch the woman who has a crying baby? lias she not enough to ontend with without feeling conscious that every man, woman and old maid, who knows about as much concerning a baby as an elephant knows about frying doughnuts, is looking at her, and wondering whv she doesn't do this, and why she doesn't do that? Why do dyspeptics keep on eating baked beans? Why do fat people, who agonize over adipose tis3ae,keep on eating candy and using sugar? Why does a person with "poor circulation'' hover a hot stove , and make the circulation aforesaid still poorer? Why do men marry women un fitted for them and uewail their fate forever afterward? Why does a girl unite herself for life to a man who she knows drinks, and then spend her life-time in groaning over her lamentable misfortune? Why do they do it? We have asked the questions, but we are no nearer answering anv of them than we were at the beginning. WEALTH. WHAT TO DO WITH IT. A Great Power for Good if Properly Used. (From Househcli.) I simply reiterate an old truth oftentimes uttered wht-n I say that wealth is a great power lor good or ill, and it is always for one or the other either good or ill. If those who have wealth are filled only with a desire to It-come wealthier, it is not to be wondered at if those about them become un comfortably poor at their bauds. I feel justified 111 asserting that rich men of such a stamp are a curse to the soil they tread upon, beiii decided ly against the farmer, the mechanic, and their co laborers. If, on the other hand, when a man becomes rich, bo also increases in enterprise, sharing in proper wav.s the benefits of his money with the needy, and striving to smooth roogh and ragged pathways, then is wealth a great blessing. The trouble is not that wealth does not favor wealth, or that the wealthy man is unfriendly to his wealthy brother, bat that wealth is too often unfrieudly to poverty. A proper friendliness of wealth to poverty is one of the needed things, then. Such a friendliness would result in a great alleviation of human puttering, and withal be well calculated to reconcile poverty with its humble lor, soothe and heal wounded feelings that are the cause of much unnecessary strife, and that too often terminate in arraying labor against capital. There is of course a duty for the poor, which wo would by no means have overlooked, lie should pos sess and cultivate forbearance, patience and charity along with other virtues, and exhibit a dispo sition to make the most of his circumstances. But there is no doubt that in instances far too jto poverty in ways th.it oiTt-r h)v j rixun for apology. j The philanthropic tw f wnltb i i more and mare needed a the world advances, to ui.ik-. It ad vances more rapid, and man ;j nobler creature. It i danemu for capital to attempt to rule the urates, a hi.-ton will how. The ir are always in evn r.uiir in the majority. Tu- make tin masses. And if in the mil ruh t capitat for more capita!, they ar not properly recogni.-d --are knock ed down and trodden upon, t!ie may tolerate for a while, but in the end are quite liable to u-e thf power thnt belongs to themase.. and that when it ries is greater tlun werdth both in p.nvrr and purpose m these ca?es, and adjust matters more to the standard of poverty. With horror do I lehold th tyrant, selfishness, crushing the philanthropy out of a man with the inert as? of wealth, fur I know he i not 011I7 missing the true tieauty ot existenee himself, but is alo sow 111 the seeds of desolation along the rugged pathway of other w ho will reap unpleasant ham-Ms therefiom NOTHING- SUCCEEDS Like S i c c e s .

We've heard of a woman who mid ahe'd walk five miles to jet a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription if she couldn't got it without. That woman had tried it. And il' a med icine which makes itseK felt in ton ing up -he system and correcting ir regularities s soon as its ue is be gun. Go to our drug store, pav a dollar, get a bottle and try it trv a second, a third if neoes'ary. He fore the third one's been taken you'll know that there's a remedy to help you. Then jou'll keep on and a cure Ml come. Hut if von ehouldti't feel the help, should be disappointed in the results you'll find a guaran toe printed on the ottlc-wrappcr that'll get your money back f r you. How many women are tbere who'd rather ha7e the money thsn health? And "Favorite Prescript ion'' pro duces health.
