What flr t wra accident, at lact la fate;
Gollt'a helpless servant flnka into a slave.
And virtue's laat aad atrajtgllnja cannot save.
There never waa a goose to gray.

An honest gander came that way.
And took her for hit mate.

And if the won'Mhc won't, bo there' an end on't.

You'll find them somewhere in my bnstle."

AN OLD WOMAN'S STOI-Y.
Many years ago a girl and her old
great-grandmother sat together tin girl
in tears.
Said Great-grandmamma Hudson, sit
ing very Btraight, not lolling, at her
seventy-eight years, as did her great
granddaughter of eighteen :
"Young folks think old folks are
fools, but old folks know that young
folks are."
"That's because you arc old, grand
ma," sobbed Linda.
"No; it's because I was once young,"
said the old lady.
"But he's the only one I ever loved, or
ever shall love," said Linda. "Papa, ia
so cruel to me. Why should he think ill
of Lewis? He doesn't know anything
about him. I shall die if we are separ
ated." "I was going to die, too, if we were
separated," said great-grandmamma;
"but I didn't."
"Ob, tell me, please," c:ied Linda,
"had you a lover? Did they separate
you? Ohl" she put her arm around
her great-grandmother's knees "oh! I
never knew you had a love story that Is,
that kind of one."
"Yes," said tne old lady, "l nau a
lover; and I had a mother and father."
"You can have many lovers, but never
more than one father and one mother.
"Folks think of that when it's too late.
"When father said that Cecil was Lord
knows who, and he should not come to
see me, I remember I almost hated him
for it."
"When mother said she did not like
the young man either, I almost hated
her."
"Cruel creatures that stood botween
me and my young lover that was what
my dear parents seemed to me then;
just what yours seem to you, Linda, I
have no doubt.
"And I was worse than you, my dear,
ever so much worse; for it seemed so
wicked to me that any one should take
it for granted a man was not good, and
worthy of love because he was a stran
ger, that f utterly refused a'.l counsel,
and made preparations to run away with
Cecil send marry him at Gretna Green, a
place in Scotland where runaway couples
used to go at that time to be married by
an old blacksmith.
"Everything was ready.
"I had my jewelry in my bosom, and
my little bundle of clothing on my arm,
and was creeping out of a little side
door of ourhousc, that led into the gar
den, when a hand came down on my
shoulder and a voice cried out :
M My girl, my girl, is this the way
you use us?' and there was my father.
"Dear, dear, it's so many years ago
so many years ago but I remember that
moment so well.
"The long, dark hall, with Its polished
floor and low ceiling, and the tall clock
standing in the corner at one end, tick
ing, ticking, ticking.
"Outside, the moon shining faint and
white, and the dark ivy growing on the
low stone wall, over which I meant to
climb, and on the other side of which
Cecil stood quietly waiting for me.
"My father's face was as white as that
of a ghost in that light, and his hand
shook as he held mine.
44 'Oh, lather, father,' I cried, if you'd
only let me have my will in this one
thing. You can't make a girl love or
hate by saying so.'
"He stood, holding me firm and fast
"Do you think I want anything bat
your good?" said he. 'Would I not be
glad to hare you happy? You little
simpleton, do you know that if you
kid left y house this night, you would
have gone to your ruin?"
"Omteide was my lover and his kisses;
iuide my father, stern and hard, as it
semed to me.
"It seemed as though he led me back
to prison when I had a chance of heaven
before me, as he bolted the door.
'It is imelice who has betrayed me,' I
I said; and though they would never
admit it, I knew my maid had proved
faltc.
"Well, they locked mc up in my room.
How often, I cried out: "I shall die if I
am separated from Cecil?'
"I am very old, but when I think
of it the old ache ami pain come back
again.
My girl, he had eyes like black
diamonds and an olive cheek, and red,
soft, pouting lips, and your men with
padded shoulders, and thin arms and
legs, and hollow chests, wouldn't look
like men standing beside dim.
"Oh, he was a beauty, and, though
you might not think it now, so was I.
"It was a dieary time, and my health
broke down under it.
"I had a fever, and called for Cecil in
my delirium, and when I was well again
tbe doctor said I must iiave change of
air, and n.othcr decided to take me with
her to the seaside: but first we were to
go by the stage coach to London, and
visit an aunt I had there.
'It was the day of stage coaches, and
the day of highwaymen.
"Going over a certain, common on our
way, coaches hud more than once been
stooped; the men were armed always,
and the women trembled when they saw
horeemen riding towards them.
" 'Your money or your life,' was their
word, and they kept it.
" If we should meet the highwaymen,'
said my mother; but I was not afraid. I
did not care whom we met, or what hap
pened to me.
"We rode away from our home in the
bright daylight, and we stopped for din
ner and to change horses at an inn, and
then we rode on again.
"It would be night long before we
reached London.
"I sat in the coach witii my head on
my mother's shoulder, thiuking of just
on thing Cecil and our parting.
"Should I never sec him :igain, never,
never, never?
"If he knew where I was would
he not follow mc and carry me off by
force?
"Could I not somehow let him know,
and escape from my aunt's house in Lon
don, and be married, so tiiat no one
could part us?
"Ob, I wa3 so miserable so misera
ble! "Nothing like making plans that can
come to nothing, and burst like bubbles
when wc have thought them out for
wretchedness.
"The afternoon faded out and the sun
set, and I saw nothing of it. The'moon
rose.
"'See what a lovely moon,' snid my
mother.
'But I had not cared te look at the
moon since I saw her over the garden
wall that night, my love on one side and
I on the other. Ah, me.
"Rumble went tho coach, crack went
the whip.
"Suddenly there was a tumult.
' 'Gentlemen,' cried the guard 'gen
tlemen, I am afraid we are to have some
trouble here. ej to your weapons, gen
tlemen.' "Then the coach came to a stand.
"The shrieking women clung to
gether. "Four masked men rode to the door.
"The coachman and guard lay in the
ditch.
"One of the gentlemen was bouHd, the
other wa3 old and lame.
"They were rifling his pockets while
he screamed.
"They took out a jold watch and a
purse, and a .scuff box with diamonds
on it.
"They had already the other's money.
"Then one the largest, the handsom
est figure bent over us.
"Don't fear, ladies,' he said in a soft
voice. 'All wc wont is whatever valua
bles you may have about you.'
"Mamma began to scream.
"The lady who sat next her tainted.
"We could not see the mau's face for
he was masked and we were in the shad
ow of the coach.
" Something shines on your finger, ho
said, 'let me see it.'
"He caught at the chain on which I
wore a locket with a curl of Cecil's hair.
"Don't take that,5 1 cried. 'Don't
take that.'
"I clutched it.
"Our heads were close together.
"I saw his chin and mouth under his
mask.
"At the same moment my face was
thrust into the moonlight.
"'Amy!' I heard him whisper to him
self, and I knew Cecil.
"Meantime something had happzned.
"Two gentlemen had ridden up.
"The one who had been bound was
free.
"For onco the tables had been turned
upon the robbers.
"Then one had ridden away, two were
bound, and one lay bleeding.
"Tnis last one was Cecil.
-'I knew now that my father had not
been wronjr.
"Cecil was even worse than he thought
him.
"He was a highwayman, a bad man,
and a companion of -bad men; a crea
ture who cut purses on the public road.
"They were not all ignorant men.
these highwaymen, by any meacs.
"Many had good birth, education and
manners.
"Yes, he was a bad man; but how
could I hate him all at once?
"I understood that my father had
been right in parting us ; but those lips
had kissed me; those hands held mine.
" 'The ladies need fear bo longer said
one of the gentlemen. 'Those fellows
are in no condition to molest them.'
Then he said, (men didn't say such
bighflown things then) :
" 'How merciful is the gentler sex. It
i3 compassionate to the erring aa well as
the virtuous.'
"For I had torn my hand from my
mother', and knelt befride Cecil.
'They thought I pitied a wounded
robber, that was all.
"But this is what we whispered in the
darknesss:
" 'Amy, you know what I am now, but
I loved you.'
"And I answered:
"Cecil, I hate your deeds without
hating you.'
"Those were the last words wc ever
spoke the very last."
"Did you never sec him again?" said
the girl.
"Ob, Granumama, never again?"
The old woman looked into her eyes.
"He was a very bad man, my dear,"
she said. "Very bad, and I never saw
him again.
"I believe he died a shameful death
one day at the hinds of the executioner.
"But, you see, it was because I have
been young, not because I am old, that
I said you young folks were fools.
"It was a good while, yea, a good
while, after that night in the stage coach,
before I came to my senses sufficiently
to thank dear papa for his watchfulueH
over me. and be really glad that I had
never been Cecil's wife.
"But I did at last, my dear I did, at
last; and I married my good husband,
your great grandfather, whom you never
saw, and we were always happy.
"The heart of woman is a mystery,
and has been since Eve, my little girl."

This great work which has been in
process of publication for more than
a year past is at last issued and is being
delivered to subscribers in our vicinity.
After examining it we are surprised at
the information it contains and that it is
free from errors as it is. To be sure
there are mistakes in it but they are
very few when we take into considera
tion the magnitude of the work, and the
immense number of different persons
who were engaged upon it. It contains
all that was promised and a great deal
more. Not the least valuable parr, of it
is the list of post-offices in the United
States, and the census of Iowa for 1875,
both of which are uiven, and neither of
which were promised. Wc cannot in our
limited space even mention tbe different
items of information to be found in this
work, much less describe them. Suf
fice it to say tbat the volume is well
worth the price asked for it, $15, and
we hace yet to hear of a single subscriber
who is not perfectly satisfied with it.
Drumming by Mail.
Chas. Gossage & Co., the popular Dry
Goods Merchants, of Chicago, take a
novel way of attracting customers.
They send samples of new goods and
specir.l bargains all over the country by
mail with the circular:
" Madame : We enclose a few samples
of desirable goods, just. opened, respect
fully soliciting an inspection and distri
bution among your friends. Any orders
with which jou or they may favor us
shall have most careful attention. We
send such goods, (when ordered by mail
directly from us), subject to return if
not satisfactory, or to inspection aad ap
proval before payment when sent for
collection, and free of all charges, ex
cept cost of carriage. Parcels, of leas
than four pounds weight, can be sent
by mail at the low rate of one cent per
ounce, when remittance covers goods
and postage. A complete organization
in our Order Department enables us to
guarantee the prompt and satisfactory
delivery of goods at the lowest cash
prices anywhere known to the trade. It
ordering from these samples, please
state if any other than the first selection
would be acceptable, should that be sold.
All letters should be addressed to Oic
Firm to secure proper and prompt at
tention. Hail orders solicited and
goods or samples sent to any part of the
country."
Such enterprise as this should, aad is
meeting with the reward it justly de
serves. A dispatch from Arizona conlrmstae
report of the defeat of the Soaora revo
lutionists in tbe fight at Altar. Three
officers and 34 men were killed and
wounded, and several hundred horses
and other property were captared.
The Homk Sewimj Mackixe. There
is no more important subject of selec
tion presented to the family than that

is tbe Home, for which Johnson, Clark &

ric that enters into domestic life, per
forming its task in a manner unsurpassed
by any other machine. In the matter
of combined efficiency and cheapness,
tbe Home triumphantly bears the palm,
so completely distancing competitors
that its general adoption to merely a
question of tbe realization of its merits
which must very presently obtain. In
tending sewing-machine purchasers are
recomended to examine the Home. A
great inducement for tbe purchase of this

Schenck'e Mandrake Pill will be found to
possess those qualities necessary to tho total
eradlcaUon of all bilious attacks, prompt to
start the secretions of the liver, and give a healthy
tone to the enUre system. Indeed, it la no ordi
nary discovery In medical scisnee to have invent
ed a remedy for theae stubborn complaints,
which develop all the results produced by a here
tofore free use of cal meUaalneralJuatlydresded
by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive
in the extreme to the human system. That the
properties of certain vegetables comprise all tbe
virtues of calomel, without i'a Injurious tenden
cies, ts now aa admitted fact, rendered Indisput
able by scienUac researches; and tho-e who ate
the Mandrake Pillt will be fnllr satisfied that the
best medlctees are those provided by nature la
the common toots and herbs of the fields.
Theae pills open the bowels and correct all
biliosa derangements without salivation or any
of the 1J ariose electa of calomel or other poi
sons. The secretion of bile is promoted by these
pillt. as will be seen by the altered color of the
stools, aad disappearing of the sallow complex
ion aad cleansing of the tongue.
