Bless your soul, we'd sti do it in a nminnte. but--why, haven't is you 'heard? Old Tadgers closed out foi three mortgages on it in 1867 and tor 'G8, and the next year it was sold i u for taxe.; it was seized for de.it in tit the stnummer following, then, your N oldest brother claimed that it be- 1 h longed to his wife, and brought suit t tb in her uname to recover, and before P' that was through they found an old id flaw in the title, and in trying to o0 straig teu that out it transpired di that your old grandfather had no t a government patent on ibat all, but id had stolen it bodily froi the In- j o dians; and now two half-breeds ca have brought suit to recover the a property as the heirs. The house I was burned down about two years U f ago, and the neighbors have used a the fence for kindling wood; your e wife's cousin is trying to get hold of i the lot, and your half-brotheruamp- 1 ed the property one night, put up a a littleshanty on the alley corner, and is now'in possession. There doesn't 1 seem to be much show fos:.pq to! dll again in the "home of youl t eh dhood," but you might file your s papers with a lawyer and sail in. 9 &I"A mean ,siritd Ohio man, i says the Burlington Hawkeye, took ! a foutteen pound club with a knot 1 on the bad end, and got some of, his friends to put him in a coffin j2 and place it in a vault. By the gray of dawn two solitary figures ere :seen coating along the high * way into Ciacinnati. One of them went lamely to the 31edical Col ~ lege, with a large lump on his head that lifted his hat off, and -. the other went to a quiet home, with a spoiled club under his arm and the glad light of a happy tS smile shedding the glow of peace and duty over his honest counte nance. g-'Twelve years ago Mr. Benson, in of Fort Wayne, Ind., a man of forty- hi eight, was worth $500,000. Iie til speculated, lost money, became a tl passenger couductor, then a saloon- vi keeper, then a street-car driver, then tl a pauper. Last week he died in the hospital and was buried in the potter's field. "Every manu, rich and poor," says the Cleveland Herald, "should have the right to take a bank bill to the counter of the bank issuing it, and t t demand its redemption in coin." k You may give the poor man such a rigLt, but who is going to give himi the bank bill to take there? i ---~~- - IAiA widower had five grown up daughters, who wouldn't let himi take a second wife.

Hqr mother being a widow, N ettie wished to do something to 'help her, and one day announced that she was going out to sell pa pers. Her mother smiled at the idea, but she was not be laughed out of it. She started bathe first L day with a capital of two dollars, j and returned at night dith sixteen dollars in her pocket This was only a few days after the great Chi 5 cago fire, when all was confusion, • and when papers sold for much Smorm than the regular prise. This a was a good day's work, and eneour I aged her very much, and she has r ever since been selling papers. She ºI has put her earnings to the very best of use, getting an education a and preparing herself fo a life of d sefulness. A year after bhP 't went to wgrkfr kerse she pr Sself to study with charad s c zeal, and has become a got per former. She devote'her spare time n, to study, and is determined that ,k she will have an education in all 3t branches.
