I was on a trane 1 that didn't pay no 'tenlion to no sieh 1 places, no more than if they hadn't a 1 bin there at awl. Cap'n Billy Smith \ was the conducktcr, the jolliest old gent 1 even seen. He sod he had bin ^on the rode forty nine yeer, and that Be had hauled too thirds of Lee and acksons men over them rodes durin Hie war.

I never was so >f tickle over anything in my ind cudn't laff. Several had !her remarks and ther shore urn broad grinnin done.

At Helena we had to side track to let anuthev trane pass us. It didn't cum so ni runnin over us as the tother won did, 1 am happy to relate. Then in a few minits T was at Newberry my gittin off plac.c, where I hadn't bin since we moved from there six years. I was going to visit the fambly of Mr. W. M. Thomas, and as I hadn't told 'em when to look fur me, there wernt nobody there to meet me. I was at home tho, and it was a happy day fur me when I agane sot foot in the old Newberry Cotton Mill. I node prezaetly where W. M. i Thomas wove at and I went strate to' his looms. Seen a lot of my old fronds and injoyed a pleasant haf our before goin out to his house.

Men Who Neglected their Bodies Failed When Success was Nigh. Boston ft lobe. Man has a machine, an apparatus of delicate adjustment, but of great power?bis body?hut too often he neglects to use it. He lets it rest in ease or slumber in sloth. He coddles it. He arrays it in fine linen and purple, bodizcns it with jewels and pampers it with indigestible foods, often sparing it the arduous labor of mastication. II(jf permits it to sit awkwardly with crossed legs or stooped shoulders, as if the trunk was too fragile to hold up its limbs, or the - ? * ? wuigni, 01 me atmospnerc was an Atlas loncl for its back. And what reward halh llic mind for lliis indulgence granted the sybarite flesh? Ingratitude and complaining, accompanied by acucaslions. The poor, debeililatcd muscles and nerves justly charge that the overseer mind has been neglectful of its duties, and, despising so weak and ignorant a foreman, desert or rebel, and leave their should-be hoss impotent to carry out the true work of a man. The marvellous mind of Alexander, which ruled a world, had no discipline for its body after it became acquainted with Oriental pomp and sensuosncss, and disregarded the stalwart virillity with which in other days it tamed Bucephalus. Napoleon, busy with rearranging the map of Europe, did not properly masticate his chicken a la Marengo, and allowed it to pass in the rough into the spoiled child of a stomach, trusting to the liver?a weak one inherited from his father?to complete the digestive process or compensate for the lack of mastication. Probably the great disaster of Leipzig was due to his careless eating. Voltaire has said that the fate of a nation often depended on the good or had digestion of a prime minister. and Motcly declares that the gout of Charles Y. changed the destines of the world. Bal/.ac, incomparable novelist, died at 50 when he had planned for a lifo of rural rest, died because he allowed the craving stomach to have coffee at all hours and in great quantities, and while his mind sauntered in all the highways, lanes and alleys of human society, his body, cabined in a monk's robe, took no exercise, but stuck to a garret, except when a sheriff's approach made filgbt a thing desired by the agile mind. In that delightful eassay, "Saints and Their Bodies," Col. Higginson says: "Three of the four Greek fathers ruined their health early and were invalids for the rest of their days. Three only of the whole eight were able-bodied men?Ambrose, Augustine and Athansius?and the permanent influence of these three has been far greater than that of all the others put together." "He is born for a minister," New ! Kniilaml parents once. said t?C tin puny twigs of the family tree, whilt tliey deputed (lie lusty limbs to boai tlie buffets of secular storms. Luther seaffed at Juvenal's exion of ''A healthy mind in a health; body"?an axiom commended to tIk degenerate Romans?but other roli giojis leaders have welcomed am heeded the warning contained in tin saying of the great satirist. If Calvii was an invalid all the days of his life George, Michael and Martin were ro bust.
