THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Hit anil lumor. 
THE POLITICAL u SONS OF TOIL.’f 
“ Feller-citizens,” said he, “ I’m a hard-fisted 
son of toil. I’m a bricklayer by trade, and not a 
bit ashamed of it. No, sir; I wasn’t born with 
a silver spoon into my mouth or cradled in the 
lap of luxury. I'm a self-made man, gentle¬ 
men. 
'* You’d better have let out the job,” remarked 
a voice in the rear of the hall. 
He Boomed to notice the interruption, but 
proceeded. 
“Yea, feller-oitizens, I’m proud of having 
risen by honest industry, proud of appearin’ to 
solicit your suffrage as a true representative of 
labor ; as one which has contributed to build up 
this community by the sweat of his brow, and 
the work of bis hands. [Applause.] As I was 
saying, I’m a bricklayer by tro.de. I’ve worked 
to raise more than half the palatial mansions, 
magnificent commercial structures, and heaven¬ 
pointing spires which beautify and adorn our 
town. [Great enthusiasm.] And bore, right 
here, gentlemen, are the identical tools with 
which I have carved out my way to prosperity.” 
Here the orator examined a trowel and ham¬ 
mer, amid deafening plaudits. 
** Pass ’em this way,” said an excited listener, 
evidently belonging to the working class ; ‘ ‘ let 
me gaze onto them relics.” 
The tools were handed to him, and he scruti¬ 
nized them with deep interest. 
“You say you work as a bricklayer?” said he, 
turning Bharply to the orator. 
"Yes." 
“And with them tools ?” 
“ Yes, sir ; those are the very tools I bought 
when I made my first start as a journeyman. 
To them I owe all my prosperity.” 
“Well, then, I [must say you deserve great 
credit. So does any man that oould lay bricks 
with such weapons. Gentlemen,’ ’ turning to 
audience, “ just look at 'em. It's a gardener's 
rowel, and a carpenter's hammer I ” 
Tableau! 
A heated lover wrote a letter of the same to 
his inamorata last week, beginning, “ SweateBt.” 
She will be a sister to him hereafter—nothing 
more. 
“ It's a poor rule that won’t work both ways ” 
is supposed to have originated with the school¬ 
boy who took the rule away from his teacher 
and knocked him down with it. 
Mas pAUTtNOTON says the only way to prevent 
steam-boat explosions is to make engineers bile 
the water ou shore. In her opinion all the bust¬ 
in’ is done by cooking the steam on board. 
A dkeamt writer says it would be curious to 
follow ft pound of silk from its spinning until it 
becomes a lady’s dress. No doubt; but most 
men would prefer to follow it after it becomes a 
dress, and while the lady was in it. 
When a Hartford woman patted her friend’s 
seven-years-old youngster od the head and said : 
“I should like to have suoh a little boy as you 
are," he looked up into her face aud replied; 
“ Well, I guess you can; I don’t b’lieve God’s 
lost the pattern of me." 
“It seems to me," said a customer to his bar¬ 
ber “that iu these hard times you ought to 
lower your prices for shaving.” “ Can’t do it,” 
replied the barber. “Now a-days everybody 
wears such a long face that we have a great deal 
more surface to shave over. ” 
From Acute to Chronic 
Is an easy stage In eases of dyspepsia. A slight 
attack of Indigestion, especially when there Is a 
predisposition to digestive weakness of the stom¬ 
ach, must speedily culminate In the more obsti¬ 
nate form of the disease, it Is well, therefore, to 
adopt preventive measures early. Although Hos- 
tetter’s stomach Bitters overcomes, if persisted 
In, cases or dyspepsia of long standing, It Is obvl- 
t usly the part of wisdom to use It ere the malady 
assumes a chronic phase. This Is particularly 
true, because as dyspepsia advances, It engenders 
other bodily evils, such as disorder of the liver, 
constipation or undue looseness of the bowels, 
nervous disorders, hypochondria, sleeplessness. 
These maladies are both prevented and remedied 
by the Bitters, but How much bettor to cheek 
them in their outset with the great alterative, 
than to wait, until they establish a firmer foot¬ 
hold in the system. Surely the advisability of 
this must be apparent.
