"Greasing the Spider."
It was a smoking car on the
Hudson River Road. A New
Yorker was exhibiting an inven-
tion to several gentlemen, when
an old farmer, with a settled
look of sadnss on his face, heav-
ed a sigh and said:
"I never see any such thing
without wanting to weep."
"Nothing about the invention
to weep over that I can see,"
"Nothing about the invention
to weep over that I can," replied
the inventor.
"Wall, it sort o' calls up old
reclloections. Twenty years
ago this month I thonght I had
a fortune in my grasp. Yes sir;
I believed I had struck the big-
gest thing since steam was
brought into use."
"What was it?"
"One day when the old wo-
man was flat down with her lame
leg I had to cook my own din-
der. After I'd got the pancake
batter all fixed up I couldn't
find the greased rag the old
waman used to rub over the
spider. Sort of absent-minded
like I picked up a piece of raw
turnip from the table and used
it instead. It worked to a charm;
no smell, no smoke, no stick."
He paused here to wipe away
a tear, and then continued:
"There was the fortune. I
figured that nine million greased
rags were in use in this country
nine months in the year. Fifty
thousand barrels of grease were
used up greasing spiders. Over
one hundred thousand dollars
wasted and gone. One turnip
would make six greasers—one
thousand bushels would make
enough to supply the country.
All that was needed was to cut
them out in fancy style, affix a
handle, and go to supplying the
demand at ten cents each."
"There was money in it."
"No, there wasn't. I bought
a hundred bushels of turnips,
fifty six dollars' worth of wire,
and hired two men to go to
work, and then I took some
grasers and went over into Ver-
mont to see how it would take.
They wouldn't have it. They
has something more simple and
much cheaper."
"What could it have been ?"
"They spit on the spider," re-
plied the old man, as a tear
made a break down his nose
and was swallowed up in the
dust on the floor.

A beautiful incident is related
in connection with the unfurling
in the bunting room of the War
Department at Washington of
the flag of Stonewall Jackson's
corps. A southernor called
with friends and asked to see
it. It was handed to him. In
silence for some time, then on
his knees he carefully spred it
on the floor. When one of his
friends asked him what he was
doing, answered, tears stream-
ing from his eyes; "Can't the
father look at the son or the
son at his father? This flag
my father held when he fell up-
on the battle-field ; this flag my
brother held—he, too, died; I
also carried it " Whereupon
he raised his hands to heaven
and poured out a most fervent
prayer, His friends had hard
work to get him to give up the
ftag. A tattered end falling on
the floor, the officer in charge
picked up the piece and gave
it to the man, and he departed.
Removal.
Dr. D. C. Williams, dentist,
has removed his office to Dwy-
er's building, corner of Main
and St. Charles streets, entrance
on St. Charles street.
A Noble Revenge,
The coffin was a plain one—
a poor miserable pine coffin.
No flowers on the top; no lining
of white satin from the pale
brow; no smooth ribbons about
the coarse shroud. The brown
hair was laid decently back,
but there was no crippled cap
with tie beneath the chin. The 1
sufferer of cruel poverty smiled I
in her sleep, she had found bread, i
rest and health.
"1 want to see my mother," •
sobbed a poor little child, as
the undertaker screwed down
the top.
"You cannot; get out of the
way boy. Why don't some
one take the brat?"
"Only let me see her one mo-
ment !" cried the helpless or-
phan, clutching the side of the
charity box as he gazed upon
the coffin. Agonized tears
streamed down the cheeks on
which no childish bloom ever
lingered. 0! it was painful to
hear him cry the words, "Only
once ; let me see mother, only
once!"
Quickly and brutally the
heartless monster struck the
boy away, so he reeled with the
blow. For a moment the boy
stood panting with grief and
rage—his blue eyes distended,
his lips sprang apart, fire glist-
ened, through his eyes as he
raised his little arm with a most
unchildish laugh, and scream-
ed :
"When I'm a man, I'll be re-
venged for that."
There was a coffin and a heap
of earth between the mother
and the forsaken child—a mon-
ument much stronger than gran-
ite built in the boy's heart—the
memory of the heartless deed.
The court house was crowded
to suffocation.
"Does any one appear as this
man's counsel?" asked the
Judge.
There was silence when he
had finished, until, with lips
tightly pressed together, a look
of strange intelligence blended
with a haughty reserve upon
his handsome features, a young
man stepped forward with a
firm tread and kindly eye to
plead for the friendless one.
He was a stranger, but at the
first sentence there was silence.
The splendor of his genius en-
tranced—convinced.
The man who could not find
a firiend was acquitted.
"May God bless you, sir; I
can not!" he exclaimed.
"I want no thanks," replied
the stranger.
"I—I—I believe that you are
unknown to me."
"Sir, I will refresh your mem-
ory. Twenty years ago this
day you struck a broken heart-
ed little boy away from Irs
dead mother's coffin. I was
that boy."
The man turned livid.
"Have you rescued me, then,
to take my life ?"
"No, I have a sweeter revenge.
I have saved the life of the man
whose brutal conduct has rankl-
ed in my breast for the last
twenty years. Go, then, and
remember the tears of a friend-
less child "
The man bowed his head in
shame and went from the pres-
ence of magnanimity, as grand
to him as it was incomprehensi-
ble.
TUe Voiceless Million*.
I'ovv many noble thoughts have thrilled
Hie silent hearts ol lonely men,
" hone rbodext lips were ever dumb,
Who never dared to touch the pen.
The babbling brook is always heard:
The roaring surge, the aughlnr r*Il,
V ev ^11 the air ami till the eur;
The sonmllens sea Is silent still.
Perhaps some thought too grsat ;'or words
Is laboring in thejoraliifng heart!
hoar nt a colli world's cruel sneer
forbids the ((ulvsring lips to p»rt:
Anil so the great thought slowlv dies:
'l is never born-will ue'er lie known;
Soon, with the brain that fashioned It.
With graveyard moss 'twill beo'ergrowa.
They tell us word* are cheap. Why, so
To idle babblers it may seem;
To those who prate and nothing say
More uselul than a foolish dream;
Hut to the nian who weighs his thoughts,
Who would some great idea unfold,
Kaoli phrase Is framed In silver bright,
I.arii little word Is solid gold.
Alas, for those that never npc&k^
W ho knows what miehty things they feel I
V hat grand idoa< till their soul;
What glories silence doth conceal ?
The poet says but lew can strike
I he tuneful harp that fnme may wln them;
He sighs for the great voiceless throng
"who die wlrli all their music In them."

Premature Loss of the Hnlr
Nowadays may be entirely prevented by
the use ol Burnett's Cocoaine. It has been
used in thousands of cases where the hair
was coming out in handbills, and has nev-
er failed to arrest its decay; it promotes a
healthy and vigorous growth, anil it is at
the same time unrivalled as a soft and glos-
sy dressing for the hair.
Burnett s flavoring extracts are the best,
strongest and most healthful. Soldev. iy-

BEAUTY.
Good living, comfort, tem-
perance, intellectual activity,
and all the virtues are beauti-
fiers. Dr. Sharpe says that
the tendency now of the great
civilized races of the world is
towards homogenity, towards
similarity rather than diversity
of type. Man's adherance to
the principles of good or evil, as
above enunciated, being the
chief agencies that now affect
his constitution faborably or un-
favorably. To these we must
look, and not to the influence
of soil and climate, for any
change in his physical organi-
zation ; to these also, and not
to the natuie of the American
soil or climate, that we must
look for any change in the ap-
pearance of the American peo-
ple. Hence fallacy of the
groundless assertion that th«
Americans are physical deterio-
rating, or that a new variety of
man is being developed among
them ; for it will be found that
the Americans in personal ap-
pearance will compare favorably
with the finest European type,
while in national energy and
vigor ol intellect, they seem to
b« more than equal, if they do
not surpass all the nations of
Europe. Indeed the general
tendency of the Americans,
especially of the female sex, is
altogether the reverse of that
one time stated; for a high
standard of development com-
bined with a certpin rounded
fullness of form, and not an in-
clination to any general slim-
ness of person, seems to be the
rule and not the exception.
This is a checring view to take,
and certainly it has m* ch to
commend it. At any rate it
deserves a good trial of, say,
half a dozen generations.
lingering Icncorviioc.i or whiter so com-
mon among females all over the south, are
immediately cured by the use of Englifh
Female Bitters. It makes prompt cwrcs. oi
all female weaknesses*, being a new fail-
ing iron tonic and uterine regulator.
