BT HARKLET HAKKEB. kflnm daji capital is a ^ "It is the things that 1 did not my thatffive me most satisfaction*" - Such was the remark ;of a well- known public man to me recently. He continued, something like this: "If I am in a controversy with %ny fellow, when I am away from him I' burn with a lot of hot things that I in­ tend to say when we meet. I catch myself walking along the street and pounding my bitter words into him. I score and Bcorch him. I wither him and shrivel him up. I half kill the ! poor fellow. Well, in due time we i meet. We talk. But I do not say the | hard things I intended to. And I am so glad when we have parted, when I am again walking along the street alone--so pleased to recall the things I didn't say. Hundreds of times I have dreamed, on my bed, that I did say the hard explosives, and awoke, with a start, exclaiming, 'It was a dream. I never said it.' • It set me to thinking. I confess, I have imagined that I would, did actu­ ally say bitter things. Afterward I have been obliged to examine myself pretty carefully. "Did I, or not say it? I know I thought I would say it.' It burned into my soul so that I can­ not now, for the life of me, make sure whether I actually said it or not." Curious mental effect! And, oh, how anxious I am till I meet my friend. For I know that his face will tell. If I did say it he will be frowning. If I only imagined I said it, my friend will be as smiling as ever, blissfully ignorant of how near he came to being hit by me with saucy slaps. On the other band, my reader, did you ever imagine pretty and kind tlyngs thit you intended to say? You are go­ ing to ask a friend's pardon. But you did not do it. You remember that he went West about that time and your heart was sore over a wrong you had done. You went all through the act of asking forgiveness, in your own mind. You wrote him a letter of warm apol­ ogy, in your mind. You made every amend honorable. Ah, but you never said it. No, no. When your friend returned from the West you insisted on greeting him just as if nothing had happened, or as if you had spoken your apology. But he looked grieved. Ah, and rightly so. For you never said it; you only imagined it. A wayward boy thought he would re­ turn and kiss his mother's feet. He used to lie on his bed and imagine re­ turning home, entering the door, fall­ ing on mother's neck, pouring out his heart's confession of sin and injury. He used to imagine the neXv vows of honor that he made befor6 her dear chair. Sometimes, after one of these troubled nights, he actually felt better, as if be were actually forgiven; and this sense would last him for ilays, till the next eorousal. Well, one day tbe tidings came that his mother was dead. Then, suddenly he awoke with a start of hor­ ror. "I never said it. I only thought I Would say it. My God! And it is too late!" Like tbe refrain of a requiem it sighs in his tortured ears. "I- never Baid it. I never said it." Nothing is more curious than this ac­ tion of the mind. Do yon know what you said? Do you know what you did not say? If called upon to witness could yon draw the dividing line? The hot anger of a quarrel blurs the con­ sciousness. Words come like a torrent "My husband," said a gent}e wife, "I do not think you know what you said to me in that lit of anger. You were be­ side .Tounetf. If I were only to teH you. If I had kept your cruel words on paper. If a phonograph had only caught them, yon would be yourself shocked." But happy is the man whose gener­ ous mate forgets, who keeps no phono­ graph. How a man learns to love her. Yet he is all the more ashamed. Does he learn any better? He is a iool who does not learn that there is no moment, even of bad dreams after lobster salid, so unaccountable as angry moments. Be careful. This is a good rule, "I never said it, for I have a law never even to imagine myself saying a cruel, a mean, a wicked thing. Therefore, I could not have said it aloud." There is a hole in my garden into which I dump dirt and refuse. Th^re is a hole in my soul into which I dump the mean things which I never said. It is a cesspool. I cover up with fresh work, like fresh, purifying earth, lots of things which I was mad enough to say, but never did say. God forbid that they ever see the light of day. It is a great deal better to work off a bad spell than to blow it off, For who can catch a thistle-seed that is once on the wing of high, free winds? To be sure it may never fall ioto the soil and grow; but then it may; at least for all you can do. And then, too, one may change his miud about another. I never was more aihamed of myself than when I once spoke the word "thief--to myself I spoke it about a neighbor--when iu just two Weeks I found the rame man giving the money I thought he bad stolen, every cent 'and more, to the Fresh Air Fund. The unspoken charge does not have to be proved. The unspoken ac­ cusation needs no retraction. The un­ spoken slander caunot be prosecuted nor fined. The unspoken stab lets no blood. Shame, sorrow, chagrin, hu­ miliating apologies, all wait on the word spoken, which afterwards turns out a mistake, If you wish to change your mind, and you have not said any­ thing, you can do it, and still pass for a wise, far-seeing person. Not so, al­ ways, when you have to eat your own words. It is with words at (with everything else. There is a time to speak and a time to" keep silent. I suppose we all tfy for this bull's eye; sometimes we miss and sometimes hit it. It is sad to leave a kind, true comforting word un­ spoken. The world needs the in all. But the misery of the word spoken thatj had better have been silent is so great, so hard to heal--worse than a stab with a blade--that I hug to the law, "Silence is golden," and to the comfort, "I never said it"--New York Weekly. ft life national e one."

Mothers-ln-Law Take Warning. Here is some good advice for mothers- jn-law who are honestly anxious to see th&ir daughters happy after marriage, and it -comes from an expeot in such matters, if any one\ can be considered an expert in cases of that kiud. It is the advice of the clerk of one of tbe courts in the County Court House. He is now over seventy years old and has been a clerk for almost fifty years. Nearly all of that time he has been in the part of the court where a large ma­ jority of the divorce cases are tried. Besides this, he has several daughters who are happily married, and he is a keen observer of human nature. A suit for limited divorce was tried in the part in which he is clerk the other day, in which too much mothev-in-law was the principal cause of complaint. After it was finished, he said to the writer: "I'll tel! you what it is, after all that has been said about mothers-in-law as disturbers of domestic happiness among young married couples, not one quarter has been told that might be eaid about the subject. I have watchled the pro­ ceedings in not only hundreds, but I presume thousands, of divorce cases, and I tell you scores of those cases are brought into court in consequence of mothers-in-law. The trouble is, too, that the mother-in-law often causes the disturbance by actions which she hon­ estly believes are for the best interests of her daughter, and because she thinks that she is making her child happy bj her conduct Not only that, but she would consider herself derelict in her duty to her offspring if she did not do a9 she often does when she causes the disturbance. A * "This misapprehension^>f h6r duty very often causes serious trouble, if not a divorce suit. When my first daughter was married, d she and her husband came to my house to live and they had not been married a month before they wete quarrelling. I saw how things were going and I bought them a small house in Brooklyn and sent them over there to live. Since that time they have lived happily together aud they have never had a serious quarrel since that time. When my other daughters were married I insisted upon their going away from home immediately, and they are now all living happily with their husbands. "I tell you what, the less a mother- in-law has to do with her daughter during tbe first few years of the daugh­ ter's married life, tbe better that daugh­ ter will get along with her husband. It's all right for a mother to visit lier daughter for short periods, of c ourse but she must let young people run their own affairs to suit themselves. From the many ceses which have come under my observation, I know that their is nothing a young man with any spirit resents so quickly as the interference by his mother-in-law in his domestic ar­ rangements. A young couple will make a great many mistakes, of course, dur­ ing the first few years of theic married life, but they will learn, by experience, quickly euough, to be practical, and they will be all the more closely bound together in consequence of the experi­ ence. Whereas, if the mother-in-law thinks it is her doty to teach them, there will be no end of trouble, and their married life is likely to end with a divorce suit before they have really be­ come acquainted with eWh other."-- New York Tribune.

Her lace is a trifle stouter, and there are wrinkles on her brow and crows' feet in her cheeks, but it jb still a face that would be noticed in a crowd. It is Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague. This once famous beauty, who wielded more power in American politics perhaps than jiny other American woman has ever done, is going down the hill of life in a quiet, easy way.

Those who were to get out there were collecting their bag­ gage. The bustle woke up t£e fat- laced passenger, who turned over atd began to talk to his companion as fol­ lows : "As I was a-saying, I gave up the job after liill died so unexpectedly. Ike, the Sheriff, I, his deputy* and Bill, the poor lad who was going to be banged for shooting a United States marshal, were boys together. Naturally we wauted him to go as easy and happy as possible. We fed him from our own table, and used to send clear over to the Corners to get him whisky and tobacco. No prisoner ever got treated better than he. "But somehow he didn't want to die. So, about a week afore he was going to be hanged, he asked me to rig a knife or a scythe or something sharp over the cross-bar of the gallows, so that when he dropped his weight would cut the rope and he would drop to the ground. I told him it would be a big fall, and he would be apt to get his legs broken, but he didn't seem to care so long as he wasn't killed, and he argued so warm about it that I consented. "I had the fixing of the rope and all that. Two nights before the execution I fixed a sharp bush Bcvthe into a big block, edge up, and took it up with cross-bar, and brought the bight of the halter right down across the edges. When I told Bill ot it he was tickled enough. He said tbe fall would hurt him so that nobody would try to hang him again, and he would get out in a year or two. "Friday forenoon Ike and I led him from the jail to the gallows. There was a big crowd: I can tell you. Bill whispered to me that it was the best joke he ever heard of, and asked me if I had padded his knees pud legs so he Ajould not be hurt too bad by the fall of forty feet to the ground. I told hifa he could do it like a parachute. "He heard the warrant read, spoke his little piece in good style, and then we put on tbe black cap and noose, and I led him under the oross-bar. Hooked, at Ike. He snapped his fingers. I cut the line holding tbe trap and looked down, expecting to see Bill drop to tbe ground among the crowd. But he didn't. He fell about tep feet, the rope brought up with a snap. "And it held him right there until he was dead. "That dirty Ike of a Sheriff had dropped to onr little game and taken the scythe out the night before. "But it was a terrible good joke on poor Bill. Don't you think so?" "Springfield!" yelled the brakeman, and tbe conversation was dropped.-- Boston Globe. AXONZO PKPPEKS, a Canadian farmer, had a colt which kicked1 at him. He put him in a stall in the barn, and for seven years it has .not been out of the narrow box.

SAgiiiL HIJ: m Jfttta Whicli Arm' ToM of AM I.-. ,~*Cr««k v>;,. As a class, professional oarsmen ar« the most "amusing critters" in the sporting liiie. Of a list of some twenty- five professional "seat sliders" at least twenty are "characters." Of the lattei number a majority are looked upon at bom wits. Jack Largan, the' English sculler, who beat Pearce and a hall dozen other cracks of the British Isles, and who is now living in Har­ lem, is considered one of tbe funniest men in the business. ' His jokes arc known to#jvery amateur on the Harlem, and the dry way with which he makes lfght of a serious question has repeat­ edly placed him in hot water. * One of the best stories about Largar not generally known was told to a re­ porter the other day. It seems thai Largan saved a number of persons fron: drowning in the Thames at various times before he won a championship a1 the sculls. Some of his friends en con raged him in seeking a medal from the Humane Society. He made appli­ cation, but because he lacked the nee essarv influence his claims were no recognized. After that he turned very sour on the "Humane crowd," a3 h^ pui it One Saturday afternoon Largan was out on the Thames in a boat much like our Anierican OT Whitehall boat A rowboat containing three men whicb was near him capsized, and before Lar gan reached the scene one of the met wa-t drowned. Largan saved the othei two and . hauled them into his boat When tbe rescued found courage tc talk, one of them said to Largan that hi was a brave Briton and ought to bt given a medal by the Humane So­ ciety. "it's no go," said Largan, "Thej can't try any of their flabbergast on me. I've been and tried 'em." "Nonsense, man," replied ode of the survivors, "you'll get a reward suire. Why, just see what you have done!,: And the speaker went into a glowing account of the brave rescue. Largscn sat silent throughout, his bubble of im portance getting larger each second a: the speaker progressed, until finally IK began to think that perhaps be had wor a clear right to the medal. The speakei concluded: "Yes, you ave bound t* get that medal. The man who was lost was our boatman: this gentleman here is a 'bobby,' and I'm the Secretary o: the Humane Society." The speaker had uardly finished than Largan dropped the oars with which h< was rowing, jumped to his feet, swort two or three times, and finally said: "So I've saved a'bobby' and one o these Humane people, eh? The Lore .forgive me; what have I done--wha have I done?" " ' Another yarn about Largan I tells hov he once attended a "spread" at one o; the London club houses. There was i little old Scotch woman in charge Of the viands. She was selfish as a 6-montlis old infant There was a. fine piece o: roast-beef on the table, and she startec in to carve it for Largan and a few oth ers. She cut it in t issue paper fashion, so thin that one could almost read l newspaper through each slice. Largar kept his eye on her for a time, anc after she had cut three or four tissue pieces he said: "Look out, ma'm, loot out, the window behind you is open, and some of that beef may blow into m; plate." The honest Scotch woman failed, t understand why everybody within efcr shot " of Largan'a remark laughed. When he saw that his ration was not^t* be increased Lajgg^ shouted again a the little woman: "May someth^nj divine give your arm strength, missus, to cut a decent piece of beef lor t workingman." ^ Ned Hanlau, too, is * funny man The night of the day that he first de­ feated Trickett in England he was in vited to a club dinner. 0hampago< flowed like water, and as the Cauadiat had pulled off the good thing he fel justified in going in for a little pleasure He became muddled in dne time, aut while in that state was called on by th( 400 or 500 club men present for a speeoh Now, Hanlan had never addressed at audience before iu his life, and he ob­ jected, but it was no use there, and hat a dozen of his admirers hauled him t< his feet He stood up, dazed and con­ fused, with the champagne rushing to his very brain,glanced at the small arm^ of faces that met his eyes, tried to stani erect and finally blurted out as hit maiden speech: "You gentlemen knov your business.

Owat Jonea GRATEFUL--COMFORTING. * EPFS'S COCOA A LOVELY WOMAN one say of her, "By Heaven, she's painted!" "Yes," retorted sho in dignantly, 51 and by heaven onlu!" Ruddy health mantled her cheek, yet this beautiful lady, once thin and paiq, and Buffering from a ary, hacking cough, night-s*.v6s.ta, ami qpitting of blood, seemed destined to fill a consumptive's grave. After spending hundreds of dollars on physicians, without benefit, she tried Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi­ cal Discovery; her impiwenieut was soon marked, and in a few months she was plump and rosy again,--a perfect picture Of health and strength. This wonderful "Uolden Medical Dis­ cover j," now world-famed as a remedy for Consumption, which is really lung-scrofula, k not only an acknowledged remedy for that terribly fatal malady, when taken in time and given a fair trial, but also for all forms of Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp diseases, as White Swellings, Fever-sores, Hip-joint Disease, Salt-rheum, Tetter, Eczema, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas and kindred ail­ ments. All scaly, crusty, itching, trouble­ some eruptions yield readily to its curative powers. It invigorates the liver, enriches the blood and promotes all the bodily func­ tions. It is the only liver, blood and lung remedy, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, that it will do all it^is recom­ mended to, or money paid for it will be promptly refunded. No Ordinary rfetnedy could be sold under such peculiar and drying conditions. To do so would bankrupt its manufacturers. Not so with " Golden Medi­ cal Discovery" which outsells epery other liver, blood and lung remedy, throughout the civilized world. It's a legitimate med­ icine, not a beverage; contains no alcohol, to inebriate; no syrup or sugar to derange digestion; as jweuliar in remedial effects as in its composition; it stands alone, tran­ scendent in curative properties, unique in composition, its sale backed by a substantial forfeit in case of failure to do all that is claimed for it. There's nothing at ail like it, either in composition or curative effects; therefore, don't be induced to take some­ thing else represented to be " iust as good," that the dealer may make a larger profit. Every dealer knows it's the best and only guaranteed Liver, Blood and Lung Remedy. WORLD'S DISPENSARY MEDICAL ASSO­ CIATION, Proprietors, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N.
