The lawyer leaned back in bis easy chair, 
HiB client Btood nervously by. 
And the naan of law sung, till the office walls rang, 
“All right; in the sue it, by-and-by.” 
Cheerfully warbled the butcher, 
Blood in his apron and eye; 
•' Summer is no time for puddings, 
Wait for the suet by-and-by.” 
“Ah me,” groaned the man with the meerschaum, 
“ I’ll color it yet, or I’ll die;” 
And he threw his cigars out of the window; 
“ Give me this weed by-and-by." 
Wheuover the sons of Gustavus 
I.abor and warble and cry. 
Earning their bread by the sweat of their face, 
You’ll hear the “ Swede by-and-by.” 
And the man who went out to hunt lodgings 
For u month and a day had to try. 
Till he lit on some rooms that .)UBt suited his wife, 
We’ll go in this suite by-and-by.” 
In the theater, minstrel, cathedral, 
In the church ami the beer-garden nigh; 
In the concert saloon and the circus. 
They all sing the ” 8 weet by-and-by.”

“ Whisky is your greatest enemy,” said a min¬ 
ister to Deacon Jones, “ But,” said Jones, 
“ don’t the Bible say, Mr. Preacher, that we are 
to love our enemieB ?” “ Oh, yes, Deacon Jones; 
hut it don’t say we are to swallow them.” 
The following notioe is posted verbatim by a 
Frenchman in Peacham, Vt., as a warning to 
persons inclined to trespass on his premises; 
One mans come on my place, fish; 
One mane come on my place, trap; 
One mans come on my place, hunt; 
Ten dollars lose for him.

A couple of young men were out fishing the 
other day, and on returning, were going past a 
farm-house, and felt hungry. They yelled to 
the farmer "b daughters : “ Girls, have you any 
buttermilk ?” The reply was gently wafted 
back to their ears : “ Yes ; but we keep it for 
our own calveB.” The boys calculated that they 
had business away —and they went. 
Two sweet little girls Bat upon the sidewalk in 
front of the Elko poet-office, one of them nurs¬ 
ing a large wax doll. Her companion asked in 
tones of deep earnestness, " Does ’oo have much 
twouble wif ’oo baby ? ’’ “ Oh, doodness, yes! ” 
was the reply. “She ewies mos’ all ’e time. 
She jes owied and ewied ever since she was bom. 
I s jes’ discouraged, an’ I don’t fink I’ll ever 
born any more.” 
The only true matches are made by love, and 
when two people have really loved from the 
depth of their very hearts—nothing can ever 
part them again.—Yonkers Gazette. How beau¬ 
tiful ! how tender ! And yet there are hearts 
that the world in vain has tried ; hearts that 
have beat as only one heart can thump ; hearts 
that the same ica-cream spoon, as it were, has 
fed ; hearts that have parted forever, because 
one of the twain didn’t appreciate cold meat.—

The following dialogue is reported as having 
taken place between a game-keeper and a patient 
looking through the iron gate of a French lu¬ 
natic asylum: Patient—That ’s a fine horse. 
What ’s it worth ? Keeper—Five hundred dol¬ 
lars. Patient—And what did that gun cost? 
Keeper—One hundred dollars. Patient—And 
those dogs ? Keeper—Eighty dollars, I believe. 
Patient—What have you got in that game bag? 
Keeper—A woodcock. Patient—Well, now, you 
had better hurry on, for if our governor catches 
a mau who has spent £680 to get a woodcock 
worth thirty cents, he ’ll have him under lock 
and key in no time, I tell you. 
Blindly Groping; 
For some medicinal alcoholic resuscltant of phys¬ 
ical energy which should take the place of the 
heady and frequently adulterated stimulants of 
commerce, the medical practitioners of a quarter 
of a century ago were electrified on first observ¬ 
ing the reviving effects upon the system of a tonic 
then recently Introduced, but which has since 
become the most popular mcdtclno sold on this 
continent, viz., HoRtetter’s stomach Bitters. 
Their usuinlshment ami admiration were In¬ 
creased when experience further disclosed that 
tills botanic remedy effected results which the 
mineral drugs of the pharinuOOpQila often utterly 
failed to produce.—among others, the permanent 
restoration of vigor, i.He removal of digestive, se¬ 
cretive and evacuattve Irregularities, and the 
eradication and pie vent ion of periodic fevers. 
Speedy recognition of the merits of the iiliters 
by unpreiudlced and enlightened physicians nat¬ 
urally followed this revelation or medical facts, 
which have since received such frequent and 
posit ive confirmation.

SOME OF ITS PECULIAR ADVANTAGES: 
1st. That each tray receives immediately upon its entrance into the machine, the direct and greatest 
heat. 
2d. That each subsequently inserted tray removes the preceding one into a lower temperature, out of 
danger. 
3d. That it is thus almost impossible to burn the fruit during Its process of evaporation. 
4th. Thai the currents of dry, hot air, automatical!? created through its inclined flue are strong, and 
swlit enough to make a toy wind wheel spin when held at the rear end, thus precluding the possibility of 
Btrahiinp. cooking and discoloring the fruit. This accounts for the fancy work It does. 
6th. That its evaporating eupnelty per square foot ot surface la uuequaled. 
6th. That with it the Individual former and orcharrttst cun speedily, ehnuply and conveniently convert 
his surplus or unmarketable fr..ila, Ac., into a product, which will equal in appearance and value that pro¬ 
duced by the Costly commercial evaporators. 
7th. Tha it is the onlv original inclined flue muehlue. Thoroughly protected by letter* patent, and 
the only oor which can guarantee protection and safety In it* use against costly litigation or royalties. 
8th. That It Is the ouly portable evaporator, the manufacturers of which offer a market for their 
patron’s product. 
9lh. That owing to the qnullty, appearance and market value of its products, It Is the only cheup machine. 
10th. Thai, no farm implement will pav Its cost as many timeB In a season as it will. 
11th. That owing to the universal practice of sun and oven drying of fruits, the market for that kind 
is overstocked and does not pay. while evaporated fruit pay* well. 
12th. That ii embraces more philosophical, correctly-applied science and peculiar advantages than can 
be enumerated in twelve points. Bend for Catalogue and judge for yourself.
