AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL.
Old-fashioned ? Yes, I must confess
The antique pattern of her dress,
The ancient frills and furbelows,
The faded ribbons and the bows.
Why she should show those shrunken
charms,
That wrinkled neck, those tawny arms,
I cannot guess ; her russet gown
Round her spare form hangs loosely down;
Her voice is thin and cracked ; her eye
And smile have lost their witchery.
By those faint jests, that flagging wit,
By each attenuated curl,
She surely Is, I must admit,
An odd old-fashioned girl.
Tls long, long since she had a beau,
And now with those who sit a-row
Along the wall she takes her place,
With something of the old-time grace.
She yearns to join the mazy waltz,
And slyly sniffs her smelling-salts.
Ah, many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes!
Where'er the fever-smitten lie
In grimy haunts of poverty,
Along the dark and squalid street,
'Mid drunken jests of boor and churl,
She goes with swift and pitying feet,
This same old-fashlnned girl.

The Experience or Mrs. refers.
Mrs. Peters had Ills,
Mrs. Peters had chills,
Mrs. Peters was sure sue was going to die ;
They dosed her with pllla,
With powders and squills,
With remedies wet, and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured her,
But none of them cured her,
Their names and their number nobody
could teli ;
And she soon might have died,
But some "Pellets" were tried,
That acted like magic, and then she got
well
The magic "Pellets" were Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets (the original
Little Liver Pills). They cured Mrs. Peters
and now she wouldn't be without them.

The gentleman who furnished ui with
the following certificate was for years un
der the treatment of many physicians, and
was dotted with all sorts of medicines, but
without the least beue dclal effects. Now,
how he was finally iured and relieved from
his Internal suffering, U forcibly told In hie
own stutement given below, to whli'h we
invite tbe earnest attention of all sufferers
from the same dreadful attllctlnn:
"I have been a tortured sufferer from ar
ticular and sciatic rheumatism for more
than a dozen years up to the year 1885 I
had consulted various doctor and used
multiform remedies without relief, or any
apparent benefit In 1883, I was taken
afresh with the severest acute symptoms ot
this disease in my feet and legs and hips,
which made me a helpless Invalid unable
to work or walk or help myself in any way.
I was a miserable, helpless sufferer, and
without hope of ever being cured. I had
already exhausted my faith In doctor's
remedies, and now concluded to take
Swift's Specific as a forlorn hope
"From the use of the first two bottles, I
felt greatly benefited, which encouraged
me to continue its use. I steadily Im
proved. The Inflammation left my joints,
the sciatica disappeared, comfortable feel
ing was restored, my atrengtk and flesh re
instated, and by tbe time 1 had taken two
dozen bottles all my symptoms of rheuma
tlsm had entirely disappeared, and I felt
well enough to resume my regular labors.
I felt like a new man. I cannot attribute
my miraculous and perfect cure to anything
but the Swift Specific. I know that it
alone cured me, for nothing else had done
me any good for twelve years. I owe my
restoration and strength for labor and re
ligious duties alone to this grand remedy,
and gladly make this statement for the ben
efit of all sufferers from this most torturing
disease rheumatism.

A few years ago, the large city daily pa
pers had only words ot ridicule for the
Grange. The following, from one of the
largest city papers "out west," shows the
"change of tune." It also proves once
more the good Yankee quality, "if there is
'go In it, he'll make it go." There Is "go"
In the Grange, and it goes not only in
"Yankee land" but all over America's land :
"Tbe Mew England farmers are undoubt
edly the most enterprising and energetic
of the granger fraternity on this continent,
comparing well In progressive spirit and
action with their Ingenious brethren in
other respects. They cultivate the least
productive natural soils, combat with the
most rigorous climate, and yet by dint of
industry and skill their labors annually
produce the most liberal returns. The sci
enee of farming is well respected and fol
lowed In "Yankee land," from Nova Sco
tia to New York. Agricultural societies
and institutes and granges are well distrib
uted and generously supported. The local
press of Maine, Massachusetts, and other
New England States bears evidence of the
earnest zeal with which the farmer and
horticulturist pursue their honorable call
ing. They look Into the rationale of every
department of their industry, whether they
are devoted to vegetable production or ani
mal thrift. 1 here are now about 40,000
members of the grange organization in the
New England States alone, and these are
earnestly devoted to agricultural Improve
ment, and not merely to factional advance
ment. More progress was made by tnem
In 1880, than during several preceding
years. They favor tarlli reform, but be
lieve in dividing the 'reform' among other
fraternities as well as the larmers. I hey
have 700 reading circles, who are studying
political economy and other kindred sub
jects, and can give a reason for tbe faith
within them. They repudiate the new the
ories of Henry George and other theorists
about land, and win the rights due to labor
by manual exertion. In fact, the rsewi-ng
landers, with tbe exception of the tran-
scendentalist8 ana cranks ot Uoston, have
demonstrated themselves 'the salt of the
earth,' in all that pertains to essential pro
gress. '

A Death-IJed Repentance.
The editor of a paper lay dying In his
lair, and tbe dew of death had gathered
on the brow so calm and fair; but a prin
ter knelt beside him as his life-blood ebbed
away, and asked the dying writer it he had
a word to say. ine doomed man mur
mured softly as he grabbed the printer's
nst: " Well, at last the struggle s ever, and
I never will be missed ; take a message
and a token to that city man of mine, that
all his worn-out chestnuts he had better
put In brine. There's bis joke about tbe
weather, which he's used these many years,
and the gag about the fellow who is always
nunting beers, and me item lie's so lond oi
on the man who peddles books, and the
chestnut based on people who go fishing at
the brooks; just to save the papers credit
and ca6t no slurs on mine, I would ask him,
as a favor, just to put such gags In brine.
And the lie he's fond of telling of tbe
street cars and the tracks, and the ancient
joke about the man who steps upon some
tacks; and the one about some dandy who
will never pay for clothes, and the ne on
spunky women It's weary, heaven knows!
Ob, I know I'll slumber happy in my grave
beneath the vine, If the man who does the
city work will put these jokes in brine.
leu the man who tends to business not to
weep when I am dead, but to buv a stuffed
club and hit the first man on the head who
comes In with strings of items and requests
them printed free when the regular rates
are less than they really ought to be. Tell
the foreman when he makes up not to turn
a rule for me, but to simply print an item
saying that my soul is free; for I want no
eulogistic taffy of that kind In mine, and I
think such hoary chestnuts should be
pickled well In brine. Have that gay and
fresh reporter I engaged the other day put
a ston to savins' 'selah.' also 'We have come
to 6tay;' and Ff he say 'ye local' you must
trample him In his gore, for you know I'd
never allow It In the happy days of yore.
And the man who come to tell you how to
run the paper well should be greeted when
he enters with a pewter chestnut bell : and
you'll print the paper promptly, te the
weather lull or storms, and me foreman
must be careful, when he's making up the
forms, that the beauty of the narjer throucrh
all the ages shine, and not be like its neigh
bors, only fit to put In brine." The dying
writer faltered, as these simple words he
spoke, and the printer knew directly that

up as gently as a mother would a child,

Over 100 years air the following so-called
"Genesis 51" was used to puzzle Biblical
scholars, and today, were it read aloud In
any mixed company, It is questionable u
Its fraudulent nature would be discovered,
so beautifully Is the spirit and language ot
the Old lestament imitated:
1. And It came to pass after those things,
that Abraham sat In the uoor of his tent,
about the going down of tbe sun.
2. And beheld a man. bowed with age,
came from the way of the wilderness, lean
ing on a stall.
it. And Abraham arose and met him, and
said unto him. Turn In, 1 pray thee, and
wash thy feet, and tarry all uight, and thou
shalt arise early in the morrow, and go thy
way.
4. But the man sxid, Nay, for I will abide
under this tree.
5. And Abraham pressed him greatly ; so
he turned, and they went into the tent,
and Abraham baked unleavened bread and
tbey did eat.
G. And when Abraham saw that the man
blessed not God, he said unto him, Where
fore dost thou not worship the most high
God, Creator of heaven and earth?
7. And the man answered and said, I do
not worship the God yeu speak of, neither
do 1 call upon his name; for I have made
to myself a God, which abldeth always in
my own House and proviueia me wun an
things.
8. And Abraham's zeal was kindled
against tbe man, and he arose and drove
him forth with blows Into the wilderness.
U. And at midnight God called unto
Abraham saying, Abraham, where Is the
stranger ?
10. And Abraham answered and said,
Lord, he would not worship thee, neither
would he call upon thy name, therefore
have 1 driven him out from before my
face into the wilderness.
11. And God said, Have I not borne with
him those hundred ninety aud eight years,
and nourished him, and clothed him, not
withstanding his rebellion against me, and
couldst not thou, that art thyself a sinner,
bear with aim one night?
12. And Abraham suld, Let not the anger
of my Lord wax against his servant ; la! I
have sinned, forgive me, 1 pray thee.
13. And Abraham arose and went iortn
Into the wilderness, and sought diligently
for the man, and found him and returned
with him to the tent, and when he had en
treated him kindly, he sent him away oc
tbe morrow with gifts.
14. And God spake again unto Abraham
saying, For this tby sin shall thy seed be
attiicteu auu years in a strange lanu.
15. But for thy repentance will I deliver
them, and they shall come forth wlt.li
power, and with gladnessof heart, and with
much substance.

CLOTHING THE RESERVES.
A Keen In French Military life at Tot
)iae.
All the world know how Mircesofnl
was the recent mobilization of the troops
of France how quickly the peasant, the
clerk nud the man of buxim-M became
well drilled soldiers and the echoes of
French exultation thereat have not yet
died a way. The French Illustrated news
papers containing pictures of scenes inci
dent to the mobilization have just reached
America, and we here reproduce a charac
teristic group.
WA1TISO FOR rviFonjffl.
Ilabit has a great hold upon men. The
reserviste finds the supreme moment of
distress when he passes from civil to mili
tary life. The cut represent some rcser
vlstes at the fateful moment just previous
t donning their uniforms. Having
doffed paletots and rhapenux, they see
themselves in the military caps and en
folded in the vast capote of the soldier.
All distinctions of class indicated by the
details of the toilet are effuced. There is
no more "monsieur," no more patron, no
more workmen. All are sergeants, cor
porals or soldiers. The upeech of tho un
der officers is briefer and more Imperious;
tho faces tf the men more reserved. Their
ears begin to grow accustomed to the
words "consigne," "salle do police."
The reservistes, while 6till in their civil
attire, at the clothing magazine, pass un
der the vigihwit eye of a young officer,
whose appearance at once shows that he
belongs to the active part of the military.
Within the great wardrobe room are
shelves filled with caps, trousers and all
the articles pertaining to a soldier's toilet.
They are clothed piece by piece and taken
before the raptnin of the company, who
passes judgment on them, for the regi
ment must look its best in clothes as well
as muscle. Wide arm holes, comfortable
sleeves, immense shoes, caps which cover
the head and come down close to the ears
these Are the dictates of fashion in the
army just now. Meantime there are
some who have trouble getting anything
to cover them. Immense abdomens re
fuse to hide themselves under any trou
sers or coat to be found. The owners of
these rotund forms are obliged to be left
in their civil clothes until the tailor of
the regiment builds them garment which
will cover their massive proportions.
These, for eight days, are privileged char
acters. They go alut and enjoy them
selves In tho quarters, free from exercise.
At hist it is all done. The clothes of
the bourgeois, folded and bearing the
names of their owners, .are put away.
They go to drill feeling awkward in the
unaccustomed clothing. In a few days
all this is effaced, and they almost forget
that they ever wore anything but military
toggery. After a month when the colonel
reviews them, he can honestly felicitAte
them on their rapid military acquire

There was no more delightful conversa
tionalist in Washington than Mrs. Sep-
tima or SeptlmiA J. Meikleham, the lost
surviving granddaughter of Thomas Jcf
ferson, who died at tho capital and was
buried at Isew lork recently.
Acquainted with the great men and wo
men of the past three generations, she
could tell stories by the hour of their per
eonal peculiarities and of her experiences
with them. She was a close friend of
Dolly Mudipon, was entertained at tho
White House when Jackson woe presi

known while in congress as the "Tail
Twister of tins British Lion," made
several unsuccessful attempts to get such
a bill through the house. There was
much eloquence, and many sprend ennle
eulogies of Jefferson, but no money was
forthcoming, aud the lost attempt mode
in -congress was during the last session,
when a descendant of Alexander Hamil
ton was among the friends of Mrs. Meikle
ham in lobbying for the bill. While tho
bill was discussed during Robinson's con
gressional career, .i citizen of one of the
lnrjjte towns of northern Ohio wrote to
Mrs. MHkMiam that she mitcht have a
home in his house as long as hlio lived.
This letter was published, but Mrs. Meikle
ham, while she thought the government
owed something to her on behalf of the
good ht-r grandfather did for the country,
was not willing to accept charity from
private parties, and she n fused it.
She was never, however, in absolute
need of life's comforts. For years yho
lived in Georgetown, and had nn old but
comfortable house on the heights. Such a
cottage would probably rent for 30 a
month. She died in one of the best parts
of Washington, nnd the house she occupied
during her last years was prolwhly worth
$7,000 and would rent for fWi. Thu
house she rented, and it was very com
fortably furnished, containing among other
things many old paintings and some rare
pieces of fumitnre which came down to
her from her grandfather. A little black
walnut cabinet, which was made by one of
Jefferson's slaves, was among her treas
ures, and she hod some of the chairs which
came from Monticello, two of which had
been used by Louis XVI.

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deatnesit Is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless tbe lnflamatlnn can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its nor

forever; nine cases nut of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an In
