Humorous fepartmeut. A Paradise.?It is a difficult matter to impress upon the mind of the rural man of Arkansas the necessity for paying immediate attention to the heathen. During a camp-meeting in Saline county, a preacher from Little Rock made an eloquent appeal in favor of the poor wretch who eats the harmless missionary instead of eating hurtful bulk pork. When the preacher had concluded, an old exhorter arose and said: "Brethren, I've been mightily interested in this 'lectioneerin' fur the heathen an' I would like to know something about him." Then addressing the minister who had just taken his seat, the exhorter said: "Brother, I would like to ask you a few questions. The boys all say they are waitin' to see what stand I take, so you won't object to a few questions, will you ?" "Certainly not." "Thankee. Wall, now, how's politics in the heathen country ?" "He knows nothing of politics." "Ah, hah. Wall, how's the question of capital an' labor?" "There is no capital?no labor." "No strikes?" "No." "Got no canderdates?" "No candidates." "Don't have to wear no clothes, if I understand the situation." "They have no clothes." "No lawyers there, I reckon ?" "No lawyers." "Wall, parson, that's the country I'm lookin' fur, an' ef a emigration agent was to come here he'd ketch every sensible man in Saline county. Boys, I don't think we ken give Mr. Heathen anything. It would be as foolish as haulin' water an' pourin' it in*the river." The Dog Came High.?Talking about Maine reminds me of something that happened down our way when I was a boy. A young fellow (very bashful) was riding with his girl one afternoon, when he saw an old farmer coming down the road in his hay rigging. Ontne seat beside him was a little cur. "I'm going to have some fun with him, Sal," said the young swain, hauling up alongside of the old farmer. The farmer drew up and the young fellow bawled out, nudging Sally: "Say stranger, I am powerful struck with that there dog of yourn and I'd like to buy him." "Well," responded the farmer, I think an all-fired lot of that dog myself, and I guess I ain't particular about a-sellin him." "Weil, I'll allow I want him powerful bad, and I don't mind givin $5 for him." The farmer saw he was being guyed, so he said: "You 'pear to be a likely young cuss, an' you've got a gol darned han'some young gal there with you. You throw your arm around that 'ere gal' and give her a good smack, an'I don't mind given yer the dorg." That was enough for the bashful young man; he whipped up his horse and went on. They rode along in silence for an hour or more, Sal in her corner and Bill in his. Then Sal sort of edged up to Bill's side, turned scarlet, and, looking coyly up into his eyes, said: "Say, Bill, it 'pears to me you didn't want the dog powerful bad, did you?" That settled it; it broke the ice, and one of their grand children is going to school down here now. ? ? Almost as Wise as Balaam's.?A mule story is told by Dr. William A. Hammond. While stationed at Fort Webster, what is now Arizona, he started down the canyon on a very fine large mule. The beast stopped abruptly and signified that he woula not budge a step. Spurs were dug into his flanks to no purpose. There he stood as firm as a rock. Hammond pulled him round, and galloped back to the fort. The next morning it was ascertained that at a point scarcely a hundred yards in advance of where the mule had gained his victory some Apache Indians had ambushed the road, and, but for the brute's keen nose and ears and firmness in resisting an obstinate man, short work would have been made of them. A Hint to Wives.?Wife (at the breakfast table)?What time was it when you came in last night, dear? Husband (with an aching head)?Well-er, I don't know, exactly. Wife?It must have been 3o'clock. Were you detained at the office ? Husband?Er-yes. Wife (anxiously)?I'm afraid you are working too hard, dear. You ought not to confine yourself so closely to business. I am not surprised that you have a headache occasionally in the morning. You really must take better care of yourself. By the way, dear, can you let me have $20 ? Husband?Certainly, with pleasure. When Vestryman Green bowed his head to read the responses of the Litany recently, he was very drowsy indeed, and he had repeated "Lord have mercy upon us miserable sinners" but three times wnen he fell fast asleep. His wife nudged him with her parasol without success. When the minister preached, "And now, seventeenthly, ray beloved brethren," Vestryman Green awoke, and being unconscious of the lapse of time, responded in a sonorous and fervent voice: "Lord have mercy upon us miserable sinners."?A'. Y. Times. Full Price for the Boy.?An elderly lady and her son, aged nine years, sought admission to a "show" somewhere out West. "I want," said the old lady, "a whole ticket for myself and a half ticket for the boy." "Want a half ticket for the boy, eh?" said the man; "well, I reckon you'll take a whole ticket." "But he's only nine years old." Don't matter, he must have a whole ticket." "But he's only got one eye." "That's just it, takes him just twice as long to see the show.? London Fun. Feminine Logic.?Customer (indignantly)?"See here, you've swindled me! You said that chicken was young and it's tough as leather!" Young Woman (pertly)?"Can you guess how old I am ?" Customer (bewildered)?"Eh?what? I should say 16." Young Woman (triumphantly)?"Just 16! You wouldn't call me old, would you ? Well, I raised that chicken myself, and I know that it isn't half as old as I am!"? Philadelphia Call. A 10-year-old Rochester boy on the cars coming to Troy, the other day, became hungry about 11 o'clock, and began an attack upon the bountiful lunch that had been prepared for him. A gentleman who sat behind him was moved to remark: "My boy, if you eat much now you won't have any appetite for your dinner." To which the smart little fellow replied; "Well, I guess if I haven't any appetite I shan't want any dinner." The gentleman had no more to say. The Cause of It.?"Dear, dear," said a kindhearted matron on meeting a friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time; "and you're not yet married, Jane, and with your good looks' too." "No, I'm not married yet," replied Jane with a laugh. "How, how comes it that you are single ?" "Well," said Jane, with a twinkle of her eye, "I expect it's because I was born so."? Boston Courier. A Consoling Thought.?"This chilly weather makes me think of my poor, dead husband," said a widow, as she sat down beside a lady close to the stove. "He was always so cold, poor man, and he used to wonder if he would ever get warm through. He was so miserable when he was cold, poor man, but it is a great comfort to me to feel that he is happy now."? Chicago Herald. An Appropriate Name.?A gentleman was one day, in the old coaching times, traveling by a coach which moved at a very slow pace. "Pray," said he to the guard, "what is the name of this coach ?" "The Regulator," was the reply. "And a very appropriate name, too, said the traveler; "for I see all the other coaches go by it." Naval officers are not allowed to have their wives with them at foreign stations. The policy of the United States toward foreign nations is strictly peaceful.?Courier Journal. Jtlectefl fodrtr. ONE LESS AT HOME. One lese at home! The charmed circle broken?a dear face Missed day by day from its accustomed place; But cleansed and saved and perfected by grace, One more in heaven! One less at home! One voice of welcome hushed, and evermore One farewell word unspoken ; on the shore Where parting comes not, one soul landed moreOne more in heaven! One less at home! A sense of loss that meets us at the gate; Within, a place unfilled and desolate; And far away, our coming to await, One more in heaven ! One less at home! Chill as the earth-born mist the thought would rise, And wrap our footsteps round and dim our eyes; But the bright sunbeam darteth from the skiesOne more in heaven ! One less at home! This is not home, where cramped in earthlv mold, Our sight of Christ is dim, our love is cold ; But there, where face to face we shall behold, Is home and heaven ! One less on earth ! Its pain, its sorrow, and its toil to share ; One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear : One more the crown of ransomed souls to wear, At home in heaven! One more in heaven ! Another thought to brighten cloudy days, Another theme for thankfulness and praise, Another link on high our souls to raise To home and heaven ! One more at homeThat home where separation cannot be, That home where none are missed eternally. Lord Jesus, grant us all a place with thee, At home in heaven! miscellaneous fUading. Personal Deficiencies.?Some persons who freely admit the importance of all pursuits that minister to the idea of utility, express only contempt for those which supply the needs of imagination, the cultivation of sentiment, the production of beauty, or the means of amusement. They really seem to think that they are proving their intellectual depth or moral superiority by boasting of their utter indifference to things that interest, cheer and inspire multitudes. One of the lord chancellors of England declared in open court, that he would not go across the street to hear Madame Catalani sin^. Doubtless he spoke the truth?and yet it was a truth which good sense should have taught him to conceal, rather as a personal deficiency than to boast of. If he had been deaf he might have asked for sympathy, but would hardly have exulted in his misfortune, and his inability to appreciate tones that filled thousands with wonder and rapture, could certainly entitle him to no other sentiment than thatof pity. Sothe unwarranted manner in which persons throw contempt upon poetry, art, fiction, the drama, simply because they lack the sentiments to which they respond, is merely a proof of their own deficiency. Let them modestly keep silence upon matters of which they can only speak to expose their ignorance. "Look Up."?A little boy came to the foot of a ladder and looked up. He heard the hammers of the workmen, far up above him on the roof, and he wanted to climb up and see what they were doing. He pulled himself slowly up round after round, until he had reached a considerable height. He became alarmed and then began to tremble. His head became so dizzy. A man came along and exclaimed, "That boy is going to fall!" These words frightened him still more. He thought now that the ladder was reeling to an fro! He thought the houses and street were rocking like ships on the sea. But he suddenly heard another voice, "Boy, look up!" He did look up. "All right now, come on!" The boy was no longer dizzy. He climbed a little higher and the hand of the carpenter grasped his little hand. The cheery word had saved him! That boy became a man of genius, known all over America, and to the day of his death he believd that all he had done in life was to be attributed to those words, "Look up, come on !"?Pansy. Ah Sin Plays Another Cute Trick. A clergyman's wife, says the New York Tribune, was telling of her experience with Chinese pupils in the mission schools. "Christianity," she said, "is so new to them that, when they embrace it, they do I ? I XL MMAni TKorO 1 il HA-llQ 1 f SW Wild gl'CUl' cai IIC311ICS3. illviv Iiv.m.i way work with them; and they are more strict in small matters than American Christians. We had some of them at a church sociable a few nights ago, and we had at supper some candies which are rollep up in paper with printed couplets inclosed?some of them extremely silly. The Chinese boys read them and looked surprised at seeing such things served in a church parlor, but were too polite to say anything about them. Soon afterward they gave an entertainment, and the same sort of candies were provided; but when we unrolled the papers we found they had taken out the foolish verses and had substituted texts of scripture printed on little slips of paper. Some of us felt that we had received a well-deserved rebuke." +, + ? Not So Easy for Men to Fly.?With wings of any moderate spread a horse-power is able to lift about 25 pounds. To lift 150 pounds, the average weight of a man, calls for a six-horse power, while man's power is estimated to be about one-fifth of a horsepower when exerted to the greatest advantage. In other words, if the machinery for the purpose weighed nothing, man's strength must be increased 30 times, ftt least, before he can sustain himself in the air. Even then he could fly only in a calm. It has been stated that the average velocity of air currents at a distance above the earth .is 20 miles per hour. These must be met and overcome by any llying apparatus before it can be successful. These facts ought to be enough to settle one side of the question, at least. Men cannot hope to fly by muscular exertion. Any flying apparatus must weigh less than 25 pounds per horse power in order to sustain itself, and, if supported by a balloon, must be even lighter.? Industrial American. Jupiter's Great Spot.?'The famous red spot which appeared on the planet Jupiter in 1878, and after attracting universal attention and perplexity for five years faded almost entirely away, is reported by Mr. Denning, an English "astronomer, to be again becoming darker and more conspicuous. A search of astronomical records has shown that this spot is probably identical1 with one seen by two observers in 1843. If such is the case, it must represent some permanent Jovian feature of immense size. ftaTThe following is given as a cheap mode of rendering fabrics uninflammable; Four parts of borax and three parts of sulphate of magnesia are shaken up together just before Deing required. The mixture is then disolved in from twenty to thirty parts of warm water. Into the resulting solution the articles to be protected from i fire are immersed, and when they are | thoroughly soaked they are wrung out and | dried, preferably in the open air. ; 865" It ought to be generally known that a ; man's hat will serve in most cases as a temporary life preserver to those in danger of drowning. When a person finds himself in the water he should lay hold of his hat between his hands, keeping the crown close under his chin and tne mouth of the hat under water. The quantity of air contained in the cavity of the hat will keep the head above water for a long time?sometimes for several hours. Do not say a rough word when a smooth one will serve your purpose as well. Before indulging in retort, or sly thrust, or I "crusher"?whatever the provocation?ask yourself, "Would I wish this unsaid if were never to behold his loving face again?" If the temptation of strong and active natures is to obliterate the distinction between the outer and inner life by practically refusing to recognize the latter,'the temptation of the more delicate natures is to exalt the inner life at the expense of the outer. ttaT Don't fail, in conversation, to occasionally pause and give the listener an opportunity to speak, and don't mistake polite listening, prolonged, for interest in your subject. $&e fotltviWe tfwqxim.

' August (? :5m ' S.S.S. j Indigestion Cured! I suffered more than five years with indigestion, scarcely able to retain the simplest foou on my stomach. The burning sensation was almost intolerable, and inv whole system was deranged. I was wakeful and could not sleep, and consequently more or less nervous all the time. I declineu in flesh and suffered all the usual depression attendant upon this terrible disease. In a word, I was miserable. At last z failing to find relief in anything else, I commenced the use of Swift's Specific. I began to l improve at once. The medicine toned up the stomach and strengthened the digestive organs, and soon all the burning ceased, and I j could retain food without difficulty. I most cheerfulty bear this testimony, because there are hundreds suffering as I was, and I am sure they can lie n? readily healed Take the prescribed close after eating instead of before. JAMES MANN, No. 14 Ivy St. Atlanta Ga., May 13, 1885. I q Free From Malaria. In the fall of 1884 I was taken with a case of malarial fever which prostrated me both in body and mind. I was drugged after the old fashion t with mercury and other mineral mixtures, but 9 with no good results. My health was shattered and my energy gone. Sly legs and feet would swell ana I had what everybody thought was dropsy. These symptoms alarmed me and I was ready to grasp at any remedy suggested. A friend advised me to try Swift's Specific. I pro- c cured three bottles and commenced its use. ' The swelling soon subsided, I have taken the three bottles, which made a perfect cure, and I feel like a new man to-day. There never was a more meritorious medicijie offered to suffering humanity. It has wrohght wonders for me. Willis Jones. Lees burg, Lee county, Ga., March 11, 1885. For sale bv John C.
