Lost Brother’s Voice in OrpiMH*

[From Lanark, I1L, Gazette.)
On the 14th of May, 1881,
George Hemingfa>n! a brother of
Peter Hemington, of Galesburg
Mich., enlisted in the regular
army and disappeared. Persis-
tent inquiry failed to discover his
wherebouts, the only fact to-be
ascertained being that of his dis-
charge for disability soon after
his enlistment. . ^
Three months since Peter was in
Kalamazoo, where, by chance, he
topk in an exhibition of which a
graphophone formed a part.
Among other features was a frag-
ment from the play, ‘‘The Three
Guardsmen,” auring the render-
ing of which one! of the^harac-
ters developed a peculiar and
scarcely noticeable stammer. Up-
on the request of Mr. Hemington
this part was repeated, and that

Flatonia, Texas. August 11!
Died at his residence in this city
last night at 11 o'clock, Mr. C.
Foster. He was attacked with a
stoke of apoplexy, from which he
died in about three hours. His
death was verv- sudden and unex-
pected. Mr. Foster has been in
business in this citv for about
twenty-live years and was' a
most estimable gentleman. He
leaves a wife and one daughter.
The friends of deceased, who
grieve with the bereaved family
at his death, are numbered by
the score.

fitful slumber haunted by frighful dreams.
It was the hand of fate, she said. She
grew pale, fretful, haggard and tired of
life. She drifted, drifted cm into that wild- .
erness of woman’s woes that has driven 4
thousands of her suffering sisters to, the
verge of self destruction. Finally she caase
to look upon death alone as a source of J
relief She hoped for it; longed for it.
She courted the fateful hour. One night

Don't Swear.
Youngman, don’t swear. Swear-
ing never was good for a sore fing-
er. It never cured the rheuma-
tism nor helped draw a prize in a
lottery. It isn’t recommended for
liver complaint. It isn’t sure
protection against lightning, sew-
ing lmichine agents, nor any of
the ills which beset people through
life. There is no occasion for
swearing outside a newspaper
office, where it is useful in proof-
reading and indispensably neces-
sary in geting forms to press.
It has been known also, to ma-
terially assist the editor in look-
ing over the. paper after it is
printed. Bui.otherwise it is a
very foolish and wicked habit.—

Only a few minutes more of life! With

The reading of these letters brought new
