-Jfrbrtel fjwttg. A IiESSON FOR MAMMA. BY SYDNKY DAYRK. "Dear mamma, if vou just could bo A tiny little girl like me, And I your mamma, you would see How nice I'd be to you. I'd always let you have your way ; I'd never frown at you, and say : 'You are behaving ill to-day ; Such conduct will not do.' "I'd always give vou jelly-cake For breakfast, and I'd never shako Mv head, and say: 'You must not take feo very large a slice," I'd never say: 'My dear, I trust You will not make me say you must Eat up your oatmeal;' or, 'The crust You'll find it very nice.' I'd buy you candy every day; I'd go down town with you, and say : 'What would my darling like? ^ou may nave anymmgyuu occ. I'd never sav : 'My pet, you know 'Tis bad for health and teeth, and so . I I can not let you have it. No; It would be wrong in me.' "And every day I'd let you wear Your nicest dross, and never care i If it should get a great big tear ; J I'd only say to you : ' 'My precious"treasure, never mind, For little clothes will tear, I find.' Now, mamma, wouldn't that be kind ? That's just what /should do. "I'd never say: 'Well, just a few /' I'd let you stop your lessons, too; I'd say: 'They are too hard for you, Poor child, to understand.' j I'd put the books and slates away; You shouldn't do a thing but play, And have a party every day, I Ah-h-h, wouldn't that be grand! "But, mamma dear, you cannot grow j Into a little girl, you know, | And I can't be your mamma; so i The only thing to do Is just for you to try and see How very, very nice 'twould be l For you to do all this for me, j Now, mamma, couldn't you?" ^tumorous Department. I Nothing to Do With It.?An old woman who lived on the frontier during the last war between this country and Great Britain possessed a marvellous propensity to learn the news, and used frequently to make inquiries of the soldiers. On one occasion she said to one of these defenders of our rights whom she had frequently saluted before: "What's the news now?" "Why, good woman," he answered, "the Indians have fixed a lever under Lake Erie, and are going to turn it over and drown the world." "O, massey, massey! what shall I do!" and away she ran to tell her neighbors of I the danger, and inquire of her minister how such a calamity might be averted. "Why," said he, "you need not be alarmed; we have our Maker's promise that the world shall never again be destroyed by water." "I know that," returned the old lady, hastily ; "but He's nothing to do with it? ifo thom nincrnpv old Indians." He Corrected His Error.?It was at a railway eating station. The man from Montana was hungry and in a hurry. "Please pass me them pertaters mister," be said, addressing the elegant gentleman from Boston who sat next him. The Bostonian slowly focussed his gold eyeglasses on the man from Montana. "Did you think that I was one of the waiters ?" he asked, icily. The others held their knives and forks suspended in midair, expecting to see the man from Montana shrivel up, but no such phenomenon took place. He turned and beckoned to the nearest waiter. "George, come here, please." "What is it, sir?" asked George. "I wanted to apologize to you, that is all. You see I mistook this party here for you, but I hope you won't be offended at it. Now pais me them pertaters, and we'll go on with the round-up." "Gentlemen," said the stranger, excitedly, as he halted on the public square, "if I had a pint of whisky I believe I could save this sick horse of mine!" A dozen flasks were instantly produced by the men about him and freely tendered. "Thanks, gentlemen!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with grateful emotion, as he drew a jug from beneath the seat of his dilapidated one-horse wagon, emptied the contents of the several flasks into it, and proceeded slowly on : "I knew I wouldn't have to make such an appeal in vain in a Kentuckycoramunity. I'll just drive out to the edge of the town and administer the remedy. Gentlemen, you have saved my horse !"?[Chicago Tribune. JSTBill Bluster, while in a temper, insulted rich old Stronger. A few days after, happening to meet him, he apologized. "Mr. Stronger," said he, "the other day, when I was angry, I'm told I insulted you. I'm sorrv for it. and beg your pardon." "O, that's all right, William," was the response. "We are all liable to do wrong, occasionally. That's all right." "Yes, but look here. You mustn't feel proud over it because I'm honest enough to ask yer pardon, for understand you, I'd ask the pardon of a dog if I'd insulted him. It's the principle of the thing I'm after. I know yer an old hypocrite, but at the same time I've insulted you, and I'll ask yer pardon." _ fiST"Hay, Pete! How much for crabs this morning?" said a restaurant-keeper to a freckled fisherman of the colored persuasion. "Well, cap'n, I dun wus hab tin cents er piece for dem ere crabs. Dey is mighty fine crabs, cap'n." "I want two or three dozen,- How much are they by the dozen?" "Well, cap'n, I done mus' hab er dollah 'n fo'ty cents er doz'n fo' dem crabs. Hey is mighty fine crabs, cap'n." "Why, you are charging more by the dozen than by the piece. What do you mean by that?" "Well, cap'n, dey's mighty fine crabs, dey is, an' it done take a heap mo' trouble ter catch er doz'n dan one." B&" "Only those who have been roused from midnight slumber on shipboard by the terrible cry, 'Mao overboard!"' said the traveler, "can comprehend to the full its terrible meaning, the fear and horror in its sudden alarm." "O yes, they can," replied the little lame shoemaker, who wasn't much of a traveler; "I heard it once when I wasn't near the ship, and 1 realized the horror of it more than any one else. "You couldn't!" said the traveler, scornfully. "Yes, I could," persisted the little, lame shoemaker; "I was the man who was overboard."?[Brooklyn Eagle. BSf "Talking about swindlers," said old Deacon Blizzard, "about two years ago a book peddler came along, and as we had no Bible in the house I bought one with a pretty red cover, and 'Holy Bible' in gilt letters on the back and clasp on to it, and I'mdangedif we didn't discover last week that the book was a volume of census reports for 1877, with a bogus back; and may be we'd never found out how we'd been cheated if my wife's sister, who had come to visit us, hadn't gone rummaging through the book, looking for a receipt for mince pies, which Amanda said she had mislaid somewhere." 5S- Squillsby, who works in a photographic studio, popped the question successfully the other night, after which he remarked, "And now I suppose you will allow me to take a kiss?" "Why, of course." she replied ; "it would be in per fectly good taste now." "Very well," said Squillsby ; "(urn your head a little more to the right, fix your eyes on that picture knob?so?that's it?smile just a little?wink as often as you please?there? now the operation commences." Little Bobby, whose mother believes in cautioning her children against the consequences of foolish acts, has often said to him: "If you get before the train, or fall into the water, you may be killed; and when one is dead it is for a long time." One day Bobby, while walking with his uncle, took pains to keep at a safe distance from the shore of the river. "If I should fall in, I should be drowned," he exclaimed ; "and when you're drowned, you're ^^^^^lead; and when you're dead, it's for life 1" ftOYAl P /fROYAL PSWi? ^ tuftur >S?j^S ? *AKlMc POWDER Absolutely Pure.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED. Redaction in Price to Clubs. $100.00 IN PREMIUMS TO CLUB-MAKERS. Prospectus for 1889. WITH the opening of the new year, THE ENQUIRER will be increased in size, the enlargement of the sheet on which it will be printed admitting of an additional amount of matter equivalent to SIX COLUMNS MORE than is furnished in its present form. With better facilities than we have ever before possessed, and desiring to largely increase the circulation of the paper, we have decided to REDUCE THE PRICE to yearly SUBSCRIBERS IN CLUBS, and also of subscriptions for shorter periods. The features of THE ENQUIRER, which , have been distinctive for nearly thirty-five years, will be continued in the future, while new attractions will be added, it being our determination to increase and maintain the popularity of the paper with the masses of the people, and especially those of York county. With this idea in view, we shall devote especial attention to the BUSINESS ADVANTAGES and NATURAL RESOURCES possessed by York county?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and in employing our columns in the development of these. The completion of an important line 01 rauroaa, traversing me entire length from east to west of the county, will add new life and animation all aloug the line of its route, while its beneficial effects will be perceptible throughout the county. It renders possible the inauguration of new enterprises and the better development of the hidden wealth of our county, in the accomplishing of which THE ENQUIRER, as in the past, will ever be a ready and cheerful instrument. OUR PREMIUM PLAN. Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the case that the premiums we have heretofore offered for the largest clubs are not suited to the wants of those to whom they are awarded, we have decided to offer only CASH PREMIUMS for the five largest clubs as follows: For the largest club for one year, 335; for the second largest clubs, 325; for the third largest club, 315; for the fourth largest club, 310; and for the fifth largest club, 35. COKTDITIOKTd. These cash premiums will be awarded on the following conditions: To the persons getting up clubs of subscribers to the ENQUIRER, at 31.75 per annum for each subscriber, will be awarded the premiums as stated above. The time for completing the clubs under the above otter is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1880. Competitors may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence whenever the name is handed in. The money for each subscriber is expected to be paid at the time the name is entered upon our books, and no name will be counted in competition for a premium and no premium delivered until the subscription price has been paid. To persons who make up clubs of ten or more names, but who may fail to obtain one of the above premiums, wo will send the ENQUIRER for one year free of charge, and to those who send a club of twenty or more names, but who may fail to get a premium, we will forward the ENQUIRER one year free of charge, and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspaBer or monthly magazine published in the United States, the publication to bo selected by the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will give a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year for a club of ten, and for all names over ten in such clubs, TWENTY CENTS for each name. It is not necessary that the names of a club should all be at the same post office. Names may be taken at any number of places. One name for two years will be equivalent to two names for one year each. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them. We will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when sent by draft, registered letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville post office. In sending names, write plainly, giving postoffice, county and State. All subscriptions will be discontinued at the expiration of the time paid for. A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker, who will be credited with every name sent, so that the number sent by any one person can be ascertained at a moment's notice. Persons who commence making clubs will not be permitted, after the names have been entered on our books, to transfer the names to another club-maker's list. The time in which additions may be made to clubs under this proposition, wifl expire on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1889. Therefore, persons who desire the benestluK rotflo not onKuoriKo na v fnrt.hfi paper before that date, as after the expiration of that time it will not be furnished for less than ?2.00 unless new clubs are formed, All letters should bo addressed to L.

We present below a remarkable showing from an obscure section, not traversed by railroads, which carries its own conviction. It is the same way wherever B. B. B. has been introduced and given a fair trial with other remedies: A REMARKABLE SHOWING FOR B. B. B. AGAINST OTHER REMEDIES. Putnam Co., April 29, 1887. I have been suffering for most thirty years with nn Itching and burning all over my face and body. I took eighteen bottles of one blood medicine and it done me no good. I commenced last January to use B. B. B., and after using five bottles I felt better and stouter than I have in thirty years, my health Is better and I weigh more than I ever did. The itching has nearly censed, and 1 am confident that a few inure bottles of B. ... B. will cure me entirely. I nm sixty-two years old and can now do a good day's work in tny field. I consider it the best medicine 1 have ever seen, for it certainly did me more good than all the medicine I have ever taken. I had, in all, nearly a hundred risings on my face, neck and body.

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered an acute attack of rheumatism, caused hv undue exposure and chiling of the blood. 1 heard your remedy highly recommended, and purchased one bottle of Moucrlef & Bro., Present!, Ark. In about one month, niter using tills bottle, he became so much better that I got the second bottle which is now being used, and my son Is nearly well, and I think by removing him to a cooler summer climate (vvliicli I will do) and continuing us use, a | pcrfecet cure will he effected.
