Do you not feel gratefal to those boys in biue for taking off that galling chain of op- pression ?”” | “No, dat I don’t,” replied the old fellow, “for when dem blame Yankees took off dat chain dey took off dat sil- ver watch what was hung to hit dat old Marster gib me to keep while he wuz in de wah.”’ That book on “Slavery and Its Hor- rors” has not yet appeared.—Monroe Enquire.

There’s a house a few miles trom the “city . I frequently linger outside ; Tis the home ofa maid who is pretty: A maid I would like for my bride. I fear that I never shall win her, My passion is hopeless and mate. )’m sure that her parents would skin her If they thought that she smiled on : my “guit. Her eyes are the purest and brightest That ever encouraged a hope ; Her skin is the softest and whitest That ever shed Juster on soup ; Her hair is the richest and goldest That ever a hairdresser dressed, And her parents are surely: the coldest A heroine ever possessed, Her voice—it’s a mezzo soprano— Would make even Patti afraid, And the way that she plays the piano Puts Rubinstem quite in the shade. More perfect she is than perfection ; Resign her | can’t, and I won't! And she looks upon me with affection, But her parents—oh, bother them— don’t. They intend her to marry a title ; They want to address her, “Your Grace,” They’ve made up their minds this is 1 vital 5 Which scratches me out of the race. Nor do I, in theory, blame them. She’s worthy a duke, I aver. It’s true I’d be puzzled to name them A duke whe is worthy of her. 1 Oh, I know she’s boyond and above me ; I deserve to be hung, I’m aware, For presuming to think she, could love me, But I don’t altogether despair.

They are seen of men and applauded while often the fellow who pays his honest debts and theretore has little to spare is called a skin flint be- cause he doesn’t defraud his neighbors by giving money away that he owes to them. But such is life. The States- ville Landmark says it, and it is so. A MASCULINE WEAKNESS. Every Man Carries His Favorite Remedy Always with Him. It is customary for men to sneer good-naturedly at the physical weak- ness of the opposite sex, but women would doubtless be surprised could they know how generally the medicinal rem- edy habit permentes the ranks of their masculine friends, Think over your list of male acquaintances and pick out the few who have no ailments and carry no bottles, powders or preparations. They will be very few indeed, unless your list includes but very few young men, siiys the New York Herald. It.has been said that every woman knows the best face wash on earth and is willing to part with her secret and on compulsion, but will try anything else suggested by a friend. But men are the most obstinate believers in sov- ereign remedies, , Every man carries at least one remedy in his inside pocket and is willing to unload it on anybody who will listen or dare to test its in- fallibility. I have known four or five healthy-looking men in a group, not one of whom ‘would be suspected of ever being ill, draw concealed vials or pel- lets and little unsuspected boxes of pills and astonishingly worded preseriptions from their confidential hiding places, and discourse most learnedly upon their miraculous power, In every case of this kind there has been at some time, more or.less remote, an apparent justifieation of merit claimed, from which time and hence- forth forever that particular individual roes contentedly and even boastingly und ae " Maitroads in India, | A good deal of public interest attaches if bedjon got my rod together and] was hooking om a worm when the own.
