“ USTCIUE. S A M 'S A 15U K D 11F.B’ ’

Oh, ye powers I what a roar,Suck was never heard before— Thundering from shore to shore,

"TJnclo Sam’s a hundred !”

Cannon boom and trumpets bray, Piddles squeak and fountains play— Tis itis great Centennial day—

"Uncle Sam’s a hundred !"

Stalwart men and puny boys,Maids and matrons swell the noise. Ev’rv baby lifts his voice:

“ Uncle Sam’s a hundred !”Nervous folks, who dote on quiet, Though they’re half distracted by it, Can't help mixing in the riot :

‘ ‘Uncle Sam’s a hundred !”

Brutes that walk, and birds that fly. On the earth, or in the sky.Join the universal cry,

"Uncle Sam’s a lmndrcd!"Well, suppose lie is—what then ? Don't let’s net like crazy men.Must we take to fooling when

"Uncle Sam’s a hundred ?”

There he stands—a modern Saul— Head and shoulders above all:Yet “'Pride goes before a foil,1'

E’en though on’es a hundred.

"What's a hundred in our day ?" Foreign Uncle Sams will say;"Let. us sit and watch the piny—

lie is but a hundred."G ranted lie’s a shapely youth—Fair and ruddy—yet, forsooth,Age’s loo i/oung—and that’s the truth I

Only just a hundred.“ When lie’s twice as old, pardie, ’Twill be easier to foresee What will be bis dcstiny.

JPoiq lie’s but a lmndrcd.

“ When he played his boyish pranks, Should he seek to join our ranks W e’ll reflect. But now—no, thanks I

Why, he’s but a hundred !”Yes, our uncle’s years are few ;He is young— the charge is true:Let us keep that fact in view,

Though he counts a hundred.Don’t let’s tempt him to ignore Warnings that have gone before ; Perils both by sea and shore,

How that lie’s a hundred.

Let ns strive with earnest heart,Each of iis to do his part,So that he may escape the smart,

Seeing he’s a hundred.

And with solemn, peaceful thought, Of the deeds that he has wrought, Guided, cherished, favored, taught,

Till he’s reached a hundred.

Let us, as we vaunt his worth,Mingle soberness with mirth,While we shout to all the earth,

Uncle Sam’s a hundred.

NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE.No. 25 in Our Square is a large

brick house, with fiv§ windows to the front and a long balcony, full of mignonette and geraniums throughout the summer. For a long time noth ing was known of its inhabitants be­yond the information contained in the directory, where they were 'registered as Miss Keith and Miss Indiana Keith. Indeed, for ten years Our Square was kept in total ignorance of their histo­ry. By sight we all knew them well, for frequently, if the weather was fair, they were to be seen walking in the square garden, and were general­ly accompanied by a dark complex- loned but pretty little girl, and a Hindoo, who, though dressed like an English woman, was supposed to be an ayah. The little Lelia, who must have been about three or four years old when they first came to No. 25, never joined in the games of the other children in the square, but used to walk with the ladies and the ayah, chattering away in a tonguo which the wondering nurses supposed to he Hindostani, and which seemed much more familiar to her than English.

A t church the Misses Keith were most regular, and generally on a Sun­day morning; Lelia accompanied them with the ayah, who seemed to follow her like a shadow. In oil parochial charity lists their names appeared, and the clergyman was inclined to ascribe many an anonymous donation to their liberality; and often on a week-day afternoon their carriage, in­stead of taking the direction of the park, would convey them to the work- house or hospital, where they were ever most welcome.

Of their personal appearance we have hitherto said nothing. Miss Keith, who might have been about thirty when she came to live in Our Square, was small and insignificant looking; hut her expression was mild and agreeable, and the tone of her voice pleasant. Miss Indiana, who must have been nearly ten years younger than her sister, was* tall and slight, and her features were delicate and beautiful; but her whole air and manner was that of a person who had passed through a great sorrow ; and the sallowness of her complexion rath­er marred her general effect. Her voice, more musical than her sister’s, was mournful in its tone, expressive of a sort, of quiet weariness, and very different from Anne’s cheerful, rapid accents; and yet, dissimilar as they were, the closest affection united the two. And now, instead of letting our readers grope, as we did, in the-dark, we will, without further preamble, ad­mit them into the secret of No* 25, and tell them the story as it was told to' us nearly twenty years ago.

Anne and Indiana Keith were the only children of Sir William Keith, who occupied a high judicial appoint­ment at Agra,- and had spent the greater part of his life in India. Soon after the birth of Indiana, Lady Keith was ordered to return to India for-the sake of her health, and her two chil­dren went with her; and when in a couple of years she died they remain­ed there with" their grandmother until her death deprived them of their home, and they went out to join their father in India. A t that time Indiana was seventeen years of age, and her beau­ty struck and delighted all the Eng­lish residents of tho city. Her rich coloring was a positive feast to the eye after the sallow cheeks of 1 the Agra ladies, and only enhanced the lustre of *her glorious dark eyes; so, that'in a very short time tho whole

garrison was at her feet, and all the civil servants were hopelessly in love The elder sister was completely thrown in the shade, and she knew it ; but she was quite free from any feeling of jealousy, and delighted in the univer­sal admiration that Indiana inspired. Of course among her worshippers there was. one that the beauty pre Ferred; and though the spirit of co­quetry which possessed her rendered her sentiments doubtful for a time, she submitted at last to become the betrothed of Oapt. Henry Willoughby, o ' Her Majesty’s One Hundred and Thirty-first Regiment of Root, a gal Unit officer and excellent man, who was a universal favorite, and especial­ly approved of by Sir William. It is true his means were small, but th the lady’s fortune would amply suffice for both; and as there was no particu­lar reason for delay Indiana consented to the day being fixed for the mar­riage.

One morning as she and her sister were occupied in looking over a num­ber of trousseau dresses just arrived from Calcutta, she was told that a person wished to speak with her, and two native women entered the room, the first thickly veiled, the other with her face uncovered and carrying a baby of about a year old. To Indi­ana's rather hasty inquiry of what they wanted, tho foremost answered by removing her veil and displaying features which, though dark, were strikingly handsome, and then, ap­proaching the white beauty, timidly asked in broken English, if it was true that the Bebce was going to mar­ry the Soubahdar Willoughby.

Indiana nodded assent with a smile and a blush, and Meenah Baeo con­tinued : “ Does” the English law allow men to have two wives ?”

“ Good heavens!” exclaimed Indi­ana angrily, ' ‘ what does all this non­sense mean ?’ ’ while her calmer sister answered: “ Englishmen can never take a second wife till the first is dead.”

“ Then the Debee musn’t.marry the Soubahdar Sahib,” and she handed to the sisters a piece of paper which In­diana took and opened, and perused with an angry . frown, though, as she finished it, she laughed and said. “ This is some stupid joke, meant to frighten me. Somebody has been making a fool of you, I fear.” Then turning to her sister: “ Look, Anne; a contract of marriage between Henry Willoughby, Captain in Her Majesty’s One Hundred and Thirty-first Root, and Meenah Baee, daughter of Hoi- kar’s Dewan, with some unreadable name or other, dated two years ago at Indore. Do you mean to say,” and she turned fiercely to the woman, “ that you consider yourself married to Captain Willoughby ?”

Meenah Baee answered timidly in the affirmative. A thick cloud rested on Indiana’s brow as she again exam­ined the document.

“ It is his signature,” she said, with choking voice. “ Here is a note I had from him yesterday; it is undoubted­ly his writing, signed by a clergyman too, the Rev. W. Jones.”

“ There is Henry coming !” exclaim­ed Anne, who was looking out of .the window.

“ We will have him in here,” said Indiana coldly, and gave orders to a servant. “ You, Meenah Baee,. re­main veiled till I bid you show your­self.”

Captain Willoughby entered the. room with a look of deep depression on his face, which at any other time would have roused Indiana’s tender- est sympathy; but now, without ob­serving it, she bowed in a manner that at once startled and confounded him, and before he could approach her, said: “ Captain Willoughby, you are come at a moment when your testi­mony is wanted. Have you ever seen that person before ?”

A t her signal Meenah Baee raised her veil, and Willoughby started Blightly as he beheld the beau­tiful face, ana answered rather vehe­mently, for he fancied that Indiana was jealous, “ Never, that I can re­member.”

“ Would it be inconvenient to you to exert your memory a little ?” de­manded Indiana, in the same cold, hard voice; while Meenah Baee, ex­claiming, “ It is he! it is my husband!” threw herself at his feet, embraced his knees and kissed the hem of his gar­ment in her rapture.

Poor Captain Willoughby, thor­oughly bewildered by this ebullition of tenderness on the part of a perfect stranger, and by his betrothed’s sud­den change of manner, and also op­pressed by the sad news that he had come to communicate, could not speak for awhile, and his silence confirmed Indiana in her suspicions of his guilt. A t length he replied," “ I cannot rec­ollect having ever seen her. before, and what she has to do with you and me, on my honor I cannot conceive.”

“ Your conscience should tell you;’ ’ said Indiana. “ So you persist in dis­avowing her?”

But Henry Willoughby’s patience could last no longer, and without no­ticing the last, question he exclaimed ; “ What all this means, Indiana,- you best know ; but I'confess, it appears to me. a very dull jest, especially un­der the present circumstances! I have sorrow enough already without your adding to it. You, from whom I hoped for comfort !” he added with emotion. After a moment he recov­ered himself and Went'oh': “ My regi­ment is just ordered to march at a moment’s notice against the Sikhs, and wo start this evening.” .

Indian ah cheek grew-pale,’ but oth­erwise she gave no sign of emotion, as she handed him the paper and said: “ It may appear; a jest to - you, but it is certainly none to me. Read that.’ ’

Willoughby read it", as desired, and then said: “ I never signedthis paper: It is true I.was at Indore* .about the time when this- marriage is said to have-taken place,' but surely/Indiana/ you cannot believe such a story about

me. 0 , A nne! she cannot really be­lieve it?”

Miss Keith shook her head sorrow­fully, but did not speak, and Indiana, without looking at him, said : “ Mee­nah Baee, can you swear to this man as your husband?” and the'-wpman unhesitatingly answered “ Yes.” r , On being further questioned Aby Anne, she related that her huiSiflikh had been obliged to. leave IhdorSij few days after the marriage, -but t£at she had lived on there till the birth o f her child, when her father, in igflfir- ance of it all, and of her chango of faith, was anxious to give her in mar­riage to one of her own nation; and to escape;his importunity she had fled to Agra, and while making inquiries respecting her husband, s.he had seen him on parade, and hearing that he was about to be married had come forward to assert her own claims.

In answer to all this Captain Wil loughby could give nothing but an emphatic denial; but he owned that appearances were against him, and Sir William, whom Anne had sum­moned to the conference, looked dis turbed, and said that it was just as well that Willoughby should havejto-; leave Agra now before the story got abroad. He would cause the affa^Kto be thoroughly sifted, and the wi(aris­es sought out whose names v?ef^(fp- pended to tho document, and'^CT^hj. present, anyhow.) the engagemerm hall better be considered at an end.'/1'

Captain Willoughby, whose/pride was deeply wounded at his word be­ing doubted, acquiesced, and approach­ed Indiana to bid her farewell, but his offered hand was rejected, and haughtily bowing, she turned away ; and when that evening the One Hun­dred and Thirty-first left Agra, in high spirits at the prospect of an en­counter with the Sikhs, perhaps the saddest heart among them was that of Henry Willoughby, whose only hope now was that he might fall in battle, and that Indiana might then repent her injustice. But he was disappoint­ed, and passed through all the battles of Moodkee, Eerozesbah, and Sobra- on without a scratch; and though risking his life Ion every occasion in the most-reckless and daring manner and performing feats- of- the most he­roic bravery, failed in finding- the death that he desired.

After Willoughby left her father’s rouse Indiana still preserved the same stolid composure.' Her pride was deeply' hurt at the indignation that had been offered, her,-and yet, with strange inconsistency, she insisted on Meenah Baee’s taking up her abode in -the house; and showed the greatest kindness towards her and her child.

Perplexed by her sister’s conduct, Anne Keith knew not what to do, or how to rouse her from her unnatural calmness; but this was suddenly end­ed, for a3 the troops left Agra they had to pass by Sir William’s house, and at the sound of the drums ..and fifes Indiana fainted away, and it was some hours before she recovered her senses. A long illness ensued, and left her so weak that the doctors as­sured Sir William that his Only chance

saving his child’s life was to send her back to England; and as his own health was giving way, he decided on resigning his appointment and return­ing with her,

He had not forgotten his promise to Willoughby, and every inquiry-was. made, but in vain. The Rev. Mr. Jones had been dead for a year and more ; the Dewan, though he had dis­covered that his daughter had married an Englishman, was either unable or unwilling to give further, information ; and the two native witnesses whose names were appended had left their country during some trouble, and could not be traced ; and even Anne Keith’s faith in Willoughby was be­ginning to give way, though she still clung to the belief that- some fatal mistake had occurred.

Indiana’s long illness had destroyed the freshness of her beauty, but she' still possessed sufficient charms to at­tract numerous admirers, and one of the most pertinacious was a Mr. Spur­geon, who had been long devoted to her, and who, on Willoughby’s de­parture, and, it was reported, dismiss­al, again look the field, though with no more success than before.

Sir William had stayed too long in India; and after • leading an invalid life for a year at Bath and Tunbridge Wells he died, leaving a fortune to his two daughters, who thereupon estab­lished themselves in Our Square and led: the useful and secluded life that we have” described. Meenah Baee, who, though she had been baptized, was still known by her former name, and the little Delia accompanied them; and the child was the object of the warmest affection of both sisters, and more especially of Indiana, whose, re­sentment -had long since been extin­guished by Anne’s kind and Christian counsels, and who now felt only pity for the unfortunate Willoughby, with an occasional feeling of pride when she saw his name" mentioned with praise in the dispatches, and of regret at the thought that such brilliant, qualities should be united to so much baseness.

One day, ten years after the Misses Keiths’ establishment in Our Square, Anne was confined to" the house with a cold, and Indiana, wont alone to the hospital where they were accustomed to pay weekly visits. ■ In one of the wards she. missed .a .familiar face, and in answer: to her .inquiries was told that • the pool” sufferer had died only the "day -after her last visit. “ He talked a great deal about your kind­ness to him, ma’am,” said the nurse,. “ and was very quiet and gentle.to the last. But the patient who has his bed now is very troublesome. ’ He -was brought in nearly a week ago, having been run over by a.cab, and was hurt so badly that' the. .surgeon' doesn’t think . he’ll get over it,;.-. and I am afraid, ma’am,; that he-isn’ t in a-right- frame of. mind,.for he used; dreadiullvr 'bad language when they broughthim" in; though lately he had been quieter.”

When Indiana had gone the rounc of the ward, with a few kind words to each patient and the reading aloud o f a psalm and a prayer to such as could bear it, she approached the bed of the man of whom the nurse had spoken, and, though rather in dread o f what

ighebnight say to her, sat down by him, and gently expressing her sympathy in his misfortune, asked if she Bhoulc.

ijead to him. The ‘man, • whose1, eyes |hjid- followed her with interest ever 'since she came in, assented with a -■readiness and civility that surprised the nurse; and as she read on in her sweet low voice- his groans and rest­less movements gradually ceased, and

• he gazed on her still beautiful face with an expression from which all ill- humor and suffering had vanished, When she finished one psalm he hogged for another; and when at last she prepared to go he said : “ Did I not hear them call you Miss Keith ?_ . “ My name'is Keith,” she wonder- ingly replied.

“ Gan it be that you are the Indi­ana K,eith whom I knew at Agra some ten years ago ? You have her eyes and her features ; but you are some­what‘Changed,- though not- SOi-much as- ;am.”

“ Yes, I am Indiana Keith, and, was living at Agra ten years ago; hut who are you ? I seem now to remem­ber; your "face; hut not-your name.” .

“ Have-you 'quite forgotten Rleet- wood Spurgeon, who was one of the many you made fools o f?”

He spoke with an accent of bitter­ness, and Indiana felt it, and colored as she answered: “ I remember you now; but you are very much changed. How came you in this place ?” -

“jWhen you left Agra I didn’t care what’ became of me, and soon got into trouble and had to leave the place; and then I went to Calcutta, and so on to Australia, where, after some time, I got some gold. But I soon lost the greater part by gambling; and so, tired of knocking about the world, I came back to the old country, and a warm reception she has given me. The very day I landed I met with this accident, and unless the pain in my side gets better, 1 don’ t suppose •I shall ever go out from here.”

His reckless tone distressed Indi­ana, and she began to urge on him the necessity of seeing a clergyman and preparing for his end, hut he inter­rupted her by saying : “ A parson would do me little good; but there is one thing which I must confess before

die, and to you only, for it princi­pally concerns yourself. You remem­ber Willoughby, of the One Hundred and Thirty-first?” Indiana’ s blush answered; for she remained silent, and Spurgeon proceeded:” You probably thought that the cause of your quarrel was known, only to yourselves— I mean his’ previous marriage with Meenah Baee— but I knew it all, for it was a plot of my own devising. I was mad with jealousy at Willoughby’s success, and was meditating in what way I could injure him, when my evil genius threw in my way Meenah Baee, who had come to Agra in search of her hus­band, who was captainin the One Hun­dred and Thirty-first Native Infantry iut, as I well knew, had been, missing for a year or more, ever since some skirmish or other. His name, Henry Willingshy, so capable of transforma­tion into Willoughby; the fact of the number of their regiments being the same, and a certain similarity between their persons— they were both tall and fair— and a delusion that the poor woman had got into her head that Willoughby, whom she saw one day on parade, was really her husband, suggested to me the practicability of destroying his prospects, and,, under pretence of assisting her search, I procured from her her marriage con­tract, which I destroyed, and substi­tuted in its stead a forged deed, imi- itating Willoughby’s signature and those of the witnesses, Bwho I ascer­tained were safe out of the way. Meehali Baee, who could not read English, and only knew her husband’s Christian name, never discovered the forgery; and after making her prom­ise that she would not betray me to Willoughby, who would, I told her, never forgive me for destroying his prospects of a rich marriage. I sent her to you,' and my- plot Succeeded beyond my hope. Your indignation, and the regiment’s sudden removal were most favorable to me; and though I was deeply wounded at being a second time rejected, it was some comfort to know that my hated rival had no better, chance than myself.”

Can this be true?” gasped Indiana, who had listened in speechless aston­ishment. “ Surely, you could not have been so cruel ? Poor Henry !” she murmured in a low tone to her­self ; “ if I had only known the truth! Mr. Spurgeon, it is a hard matter, but still I forgive you the wrong you have done m e; perhaps you hardly knew now great it was. Although it is late to do so now, I should wish to be able to clear Captain Willoughby’s name of the stain that has rested upon it, and write down the 'deposition- that you have just made.”

Spurgeon, who, to do him justice, had never known the extent of her affection for Willoughby,, agreed; and affixed his signature to the paper ; and then with trembling limbs and- agitat­ed looks that surprised the nurses, she left the hospital and hurried home to

' rejoic.e her sister with the intelligence ■ that her confidence: in Willoughby's , honor had not been misplaced.

As she entered the drawing-room, where she knew she'should find Miss Keith, Blie exclaimed, with breathless, eagerness: “ 0 , Anne,. Henry is inno­cent ; it is all a-wicked” — but stopped short on seeing two strangers engaged in conversation ,with her sister and Meenah Baee. ' Her bewilderment.did- not: at. first fallow*-her to. distinguish

'■ theirfeatutes, but ..she, Helt-a.-strange., ’.trembling -as she mark ed.the tall figure, ,o£ the one who .came*forward to * meet Iher: . No, she could'not'hei mistaken ; and in another moment he hands.were clasped in Henry Willoughby’s; and

her tremulous “ Henry, can you for­give me?” answered by their warm pressure. Excess of happiness was almost too much for Indiana after her long trial; but bytjdegrees she recov­ered sufficiently to he able to learn how this happy meeting was brought about.. And,; first, Col.^Willoughby — for he now held that rank— had to present to her his friend, Maj. Mil- Jingsby, who had unwittingly been the 'cause of their long estrangement.

“ After you loft Agra,” continued the Oolonel, “ I went through all the Sikh campaign, and then my com­mand was ordered to Gibraltar. After that— rather unfairly* as we thought, though had it not been .for this piece of injustice, as wo considered it, I might never have seen you again— wo were ordered back to India. This time I saw no service beyond the tri­fling business of reducing a refractory Mahratta chief, whose fort we took, and there we found poor Millingsby, who had been prisoner for ten years and more and was believed to be dead by his own people, and so had never been sought for, and had given up all hopes of getting free again.”

“ Yes,” said Major Millingsby, ..“ if. you only knew what that feeling of utter hopelessness was ! I could hard­ly realize that I was free, when the fort was taken. But go on with your story, Willoughby.”

“ Well, Millingsby, when he had re­covered his sense a little, began talk­ing of his wife; and when I heard her name and birth, the truth suddenly flashed upon mo, and though it was impossible to account for the substitu­tion of my name for his, I felt sure that the mistake had arisen from the similarity of sound, and that you, In­diana, had been equally deceived with me. Of course I hurried home at once, and I will own that my first im­pulse was to meet you with reproaches, hut your exclamation as you entered the room disarmed me.”

A ll was now joy and happiness at Number 25 ; and Meenah Baee, or, as we ought to call her,.Mrs. Millings- iy, was in a state of ecstacv at her

husband’s return, though most peni­tent for the delusion which had caused Ool. Willoughby and Indiana so much misery.

Spurgeon’s confession, although not necessary, as it turned out, was satis­factory, as clearing up the mystery of the story; and the wretched man, during the brief remainder of his life, was nursed with tender solicitude by her whose happiness he had so nearly shipwrecked, hut who has now, thanks to the guiding of a merciful Provi­dence, after long trials, been given lack to her faithful lover.

The Education of the Presidents.The Syracuse University Herald

las made up the following table of Presidents and their places of educa­tion, which is of interest:

Washington— Good English educa­tion, but never studied foreign lan­guages.

Ad ams— Harvard.Jefferson— William and Mary. Madison— Princeton.Monroo— William and Mary. Adams, J. Q.— Harvard.Jackson— Limited education.Yan Buren— Academic education. Harrison — Hampden Sidney col-

ege. ■Tyler-—William and Mary.Polk— Hniversity of North Caro-

ma.Taylor— Slightest rudiments. Eillmore—Not liberally educated. Pierce—Bowdoin.Buchanan— Dickiason.Lincoln— Education very limited.J ohnson— Self-educated.Grant— West Point.Monroe and Harrison did not grad­

uate. Monroe left college to join the Revolutionary Army. Rinancial re­verses deprived Harrison of a full course. Polk was the oldest when graduating, being’ 33 ; Tyler the youngest, 17. The majority gradu­ated at 29, this being also the average age. Jefferson probably had the most liberal education and the broad­est culture. It is said that his range of knowledge would compare favora- ily with that o’f Burke. The drill at West Point may be considered equal to a college course, and in many re­spects superior. In dicipline and mathemetical training it is not equal­ed by any American college. Count­ing Gen. Grant, two-thirds of our Presidents have been college men. To be sure the two whoso names havo been household words, Washington, the father, Lincoln, the martyr, 'were not liberally educated; hut their’s were special missions. They live in the affections of the nation rather than in the intellect, as embodied in the constitution and laws. Their’s was to execute not to mould.

Wheat Midge a Disguised. Bless- iag.

■ Some years ago when*the wheat rriidge destroyed the . crop, for a time many of our most enterprising farm­ers turned their attention to mixed farming, and it is frequently remark­ed that more money has been made by the latter system than in wheat­growing m its best days, and that that destroyer was rather a blessing than a scourage to the country, m that the attention o f our farmers was of necessity directed to a more ration­al system of agriculture. The change was a trial to many, for they were obliged to learn something o f gener­al farming aside from wheat-growing, and perhaps it is an important reason why so many -persist in-raising jthis crop-to »the exclusion. .of. most-others, that it requires more knowledge, more care and more industry to conduct general farm husbandry than lo fol­low special farming.

Good Bread.I have seen a recipe in your paper

for making good bread, so I will give your readers my method : Boil six 'good sized, well washed potatoes, and with parings on— this is the main secret; have good flour and yeast; take the-water in which the potatoes were boiled, and pour it on one tea­cupful of flour; then set your yeast, take three quarts o f water to one pint of yeast; stir in enough flour to make, a thick batter ; then let it raise till it falls in the middle, after which put in a3 much salt (one must use their own judgment in this) as needed; then work till smooth. Care should he taken to put all the flour in at one time.. Then set it, but do not make the loaves too large; have the oven of the required 'temperature before the bread is put in ; bake to a hard crust, after which wrap up in a cloth which will soften the crust. I f any Granger’s daughter can heat this bread, I should like to hear from them.— Anna StonyreaTcer, in Prairie Parmer:

B oxes for M elon and Cucum­bers.— It is a good plan to make boxes 12 inches square and 8 inches high, without bottom or top ; these placed over the cucumber or melon hills and covered with glass, give an impetus to the plants early in the season that nothing short of a hot­bed will effect. I f very early, place a little fresh manure around these boxes to keep the contents warm. It is astonishing What an effect this sim­ple contrivance will produce ; not on­ly is it valuable lor protection from the cold weather, hut it is equally valuable as a protection from melon bugs and other predatory insects that seem to watch for our choicest escu­lents.— Hew Yorlc Tribune.

Reeding- a Squash.— A farmer at Orrington, says the Portland, Maine, Pxjpress, has been for some time feed­ing a squash, in the hope of being able to bring it up to 200 pounds. The feeding is done by cutting off the vine about six feet from the squash and placing the end in a pan into which fresh milk is daily poured. By this means the vine' absords about two quarts of milk per day, and the squash gains about a pound a day in weight.

Curing a Cold.— A hot lemonade is one of the "best remedies for a cold. It acts promptly and efficiently, and lias no unpleasant after effects. One lemon should be properly squeezed, cut in slices, put with sugar, and cov­ered with half a pint of boiling water. Drink just before going to bed, and do not expose yourself the next day. This remedy will ward off any attact of chills and fever, i f used promptly.

E or S mooth H ands.— After wash­ing.and drying the hands, pour into ,, one a few drops of good cider vine­gar; rub the hands together, wetting the whole surface both sides, and dry it. Practice this and your hands will feel smooth and pliant. Some do not like it, but it is far better than gly­cerine or any other ungent.

B lanch M ange.— Eor or five table- spoonfuls of the Improved Corn Starch to one quart of milk; beat the starch thoroughly with two eggs, and . add it to the milk when near boiling, with a little salt: boil a few minutes, stirring it briskly ; flavor with rose, lemon or vanilla, and pour into a mould; sweeten it while cooking, or use a sauce of sugar and cream. To he eaten cold.

A good way to keep the earth moist in a hanging basket without the bother of taking it ^down, is to fill a bottle with water and put in two. pieces of yarn, leaving one end out­side. Suspend the bottle just abovo the basket and allow the water- to drip ; this will keep the- earth moist enough" for winter and save deal of time and labor.

Supreme Court Bench feels disposed to engage in politics and become a candidate for popular hoiiors, he can resign ; he cannot use his place on the Bench to promote his candidacy, nor step from the Court to the E x­ecutive chair.

For the judgment o f the |Supreme Conrt, the only non-political tribunal to which there can be an appeal, tho Amer­ican people have a high respect, and they will accept the decisions of that body when they would reject and re- nuliato that of an accidental partisan majority in either House of Con-

R E P U B L IC A N TO T H E CORE*

The following was adopted :We, the Republicans o f Michigan,

in Convention assembled in this Cen­tennial year o f our nation’s life reit­erate our firm and abiding faith, in the principles o f the Republican par­ty as enunciated in former national, platforms. W hile we point to the party’s glorious record o f grand achievements in behalf o f freedom, equal rights, and good; government, and exultin the reflection that from the day o f the party’s organization within the borders o f this State to the pres­ent time the people o f Michigan have attested their steadfast fealty to the party’s true views and purposes in the unbroken lino o f Republican victories, we recognize the fact that no past achievements or declarations o f principles, however just and patri­otic, will deserve or can alone secure success without candidates of known ability; integrity, and stability of character:: therefore,

Resolved, That the delegates chosen to represent us in the forthcoming National Convention be requested to act in the Convention with harmony and as much unity among themselves as possible ; that they extend all proper, courtesy to other delegations; and; treat with deference the opinions o f those, representing States less reli­ably Republican,, hut under no possi­ble circumstances-to yield anything’ o f Republican principles. While we are willing to waive, personal prefer­ence, our delegates, must never’ con­sent to commit Republican principle to, any standard-bearer o f doubtful" position, or who does not in his own, character afford -an assurance of the practice of'economy, - honesty, _ and purity in all’, matters o f administra­tion,- " *.* :

Counting tho Electoral Totes.The possibility o f a bitter contro­

versy in the country concerning the. counting and declaration o f the elec toral votes for President and Yico- President has long since forced itself upon the public mind. The electors o f President are chosen in each State at an election governed and controlled by the laws of the State. The Con­stitution reads that “ each State shal appoint, in such manner as the Legis­lature: thereof may direct, a number of electors,” etc. The whole machin­ery of the election, the making o f the returns, canvassing the vote, and de­claring the result, are in the hands o f the State authorities. Until within the present generation there has been no complaint o f any such general frauds as to change the result o f the election in any one State, or to threat­en a 'defeat o f the national choice, Fraudulent: elections have, however become since then a recognized, sci­ence:;: it Is used largely in machinepolitics of this country; and the for­gery of returns: to carry an, election in favor o f a candidate is but a brief step: in advance o f what has already been done.

A t the last Presidential election there were duplicate returns; of the electoral vote in Arkansas and Louis iana, and that there were gross: irreg ularities in the election in other States was indisputed. For such a contingency there is no legal remedy. The Constitution simply states that the President: of the Senate, in the pres ence of both Houses, shall open al the certificates, and the votes shall be counted. Under a joint rule of, Con gross it has been, regulated that to count the returns from,any State; shall require the assent of a majority of

both. Houses, acting: separately; andthat: upon the objection of either House the vote of a State shall be re­jected. This arbitrary rule has al­ways been an unjust ono; and in the, contingency, as at present, of the ma­jority in one House being o f the oppo­site party to that ruling in the other House, the objection business might be carried on until all the votes were rejected. During the last four years Mr. Morton and others have been try­ing by law to provide a means where-

■ by all contingencies o f tins kind might be avoided; but there has been a fail­ure to do so,— an utter inability to agree upon, anything satisfactory.

Mr. Edmonds, of Yermont, has, however, met the difficulty by propos­ing to so amend the Constitution as to supply the omissions in that instru­ment as it now stands. This amend­ment substitutes a new article. ^The change begins by requiring that the electors, on the day o f their meeting and voting for President and Yice- President, shall transmit the certifi­cates of their vote to the Chief Jus­tice o f the Supreme Court; that on the day fixed these returns shall he opened by the Court, the votes counted, and the result declared. The Court is to: count such votea'as it may consider to have been lawfully given: and certified, and: to disregard errors o f form; and be governed b y the sub­stantial right of the matter. In case there be no election, then the fact is to be certified to the House of: Rep­resentatives, which body; as now, shall .proceed: to elect;, The other change is in adding a new provision to. the effect' that no person, holding the office of: Justice o f the United States Supreme Court shall he eligi­ble for election as President or Yice-; President until after the expiration o f two years next after he has ceased to he a, member of that Court.

This last provision is an eminently

Moses Field mustered his corporal’s guard o f followers at Jackson on the 3rd, instant. After all bis waste ofwind throughout the State during the last six months, barely three-score Greenbackers could be gathered in a mass convention at the Prison City, to identify themselves with his political fortunes. Not a name well known in Michigan politics was among them ; but: Dick Trevellick, of Detroit, was there, and a master spirit;—in fact, with the presence of Moses, would account for any vagaries o,f which the meeting could possibly have been guilty. We are glad to notice that, so far as the reports make an exhibit of the attendance, not a single person from Kalamazoo village or county was present. The resolutions passed are just what might have been ex­pected, going the full length of the extreme inflationist.

There is a great complaint among the people at the slowness with which silver change is got into circulation; up to last Saturday not quite four and a half milliofis had been issued. Silver can only be obtained in redemp­tion of fractional scrip, and it is an exceedingly slow process to count and assort the torn, defaced, and nasty little stuff, and pick out the counter­feits, of which there are; a good many. The Treasury has three millions of silver which, may he paid out on drafts, and the Secretary is now issuing it. But what are three millions towards supplying the public needs ? A week or more ago Mr. Payne, of Cleveland, Ohio; Chairman o f the Banking Com­mittee, prepared a bill to authorize the issue o f silver coin to the amount of ten millions, in exchange for legal- tenders, which latter are only to be reissued after destruction o f an equal amount: o f fractional currency. Mon­day his hill was called up, on a mo­tion, to suspend the rules. The vote resulted, yeas, 138; nays, 78,— being 60 majority, but that not being two- thirds, the motion failed. What are the constituencies represented by these 78 dogs-in-the-manger, nine-tenths o f whom are Democrats, and the rest Republicans and Independents ? What decent reason can any of them give for voting against the proposition ? This is not a scheme of contraction, nor a device to make fractional money scarce or worse. On the contrary, the hill provides for throwing ten mil­lions of silver change into circulation as soon as the public want it. What possible objection could there be to such a bill ? We can conceive of none, unless it be a fanatical rag-baby oppo­sition to allowing hard money to,cir­culate among the people. Those who voted in the negative are probably afraid to let the common people see, touch, or handle any real money, lest they may get to like it and prefer it to ragged, greasy,* torn shinplasters. We can conceive of no other reason for the hostile votes o f the 73 object­ors. The friends of the bill are shown to he* in a vast majority.- Let them 'push the measure after first amending it, making it twenty-five instead of ten millions, for every dollar o f that sum will" he required to satisfy — popular demand for silver They •

The Heart is a powerful muscular or- gau, having fonr apartments or cavities : its right and' left auricle or muscular bag ami right and left ventricle or cavity. It is considered the centre of ciroujation. Of its muscular power we may have some conception when we-consider that in man: the whole quantity of blood is estimated at about 2S pounds, and that at every pulsation, (which, if regular, is about 75 per minute), an ounce o f blood passes through it. Upon this calculation 6 pounds and three ounces o f blood pass through the heart to the lung3 every min­ute of onr lives, (this assertion is, however, made on mere conjecture.) It is very .certain that all the blood in the body pass­es through the heart and lungs at least every ten minutes—-six times in every hour— and, upon an average, ll-i- times every twenty-four hours, from our earliest infancy to decrepit and childish old age.

In every piece of mechanical ingenuity, however simple or complex may be its structure, we find, as indispensable to the whole, at least one great point of attrac­tion or repulsion • so in the human frame we designafe the heart;, in its simple ope­rations to be the vital organ, which, by its energy and action, gives to every fibre of the frame a principle peculiar to its im­mediate function. I t is the constant spring, or fountain, which, emptying itself into those thousand little streams of the body traverses the whole system and im­parts that vigor and animation so indubit­able to the maintenance and support o f life.. This central organ— this sole power — which circulates the blood, is as liable to disease as the other organs o f the body. There is no disease to which the human frame is subject, more intense and violent than a functional affection of the heart; and, indeed, so dreadful are some of the sensations attending it, that a patient la­boring under its influence, described it as a dreadful .sensation, “ approaching to a feeling o f annihilation,” far surpassing any degree o f pain. I am not able here to render a complete analysis of the symp­toms in attendance on this complaint, but will mention the more prominent of them that occur in the early stages ot the dis­ease.

A n oppression and difficulty of breath­ing often amounting to suffocation or feel­ing o f approaching death. •' Sometimes a pain is felt over the region o f the heart, palpitations, rapid; beating or fluttering motion, a feeling o f tightness across the chest or distress with short breath, which is increased upon exertion, especially when walking on an ascent or going up a pair o f stairs, headache, cold feet and hands, face pale at times, at other times flushed, giddiness, ringing or buzzing in the ear, faintness, shivering, nose bleedings and numbness. The side over the region of the heart sometimes enlarges, pulse in­terrupted often stops beating for some sec­onds, Sleep confused and painful, with un­pleasant dreams and sudden startings. The patient is restless, easily excited, and when, so, often unable to speak, quickly fatigued, anxious and nervous. Palpita­tions o f the heart do not occur in every case, nor all of the above symptoms, but more or less present in every case in the commencement o f this disease, becoming more and, more dreadful as the disease ad­vances, terminating often when the pa­tient is feeling most well, in sudden death. From the great number of cases that we daily encounter w e are fully convinced that diseases ot the heart are next in fre­quency to diseases o f the lungs.

The incessant play o f the passions, which are excitable to a high degree, are calculated to produce many disarrange­ments' in the healthy action o f this organ. "Whatever tends to overwork the heart, thereby producing interruptions, also a diminution of power, will occasion this disease, as indulgence in intoxicating liq­uors, long continued use of stimulants, to­bacco, Unnatural drains upon the system, rheumatism, and other long standing ail­ments, intense study, mental depression, application o f the miiid with little bodily exercise, great anxiety to be ri'eh, running in debt, working, and fretting, trying to pay interest, causing vexations, trouble, disappointments &c. In the early period o f this affection, remedial agents can be used that will arrest its progress. It is the inability of the heart to circulate.blood with that freedom which the animal econo­my requires, that is the cause o f diseases of the heart. And with this view of the subject every means should be used for the purpose of “facilitating the circulation o f the blood.” W hen the disease has been long neglected and the heart itself fixedly implicated, a cure is seldom if ever obtained, the disease most invariable liafi a sudden and fatal termination. The neces­sity of attending to the first symptoms of a disease so sure in its progress to destroy life, cannot but be seen by all. W e are pursuing a system of treatment for the cure o f all chronic Complaints that is o f a far different character from that usually entertained— one which cannot fail to rec­ommend itself to every unprejudiced and intelligent individual. The light of sci­ence at the present day directs us to the removal o f causes, and to the laboratory of the Vegetable Kingdom for the con­stituents of the reparative process.

A Battle Creek girl got ready to be married a few days ago. The guests were all assembled, but the bridegroom came not. As ibis was the third time he had played the game, the mother o f the bride dismiss­ed the company, telling them to as­semble again in the evening; and tak­ing tho train went to a neighboring town, and to the store where the should-be bridegroom was measuring tape, escorted him to the train, and at the appointed time in the evening the two were made one.

Done Enough For His Country.An old American Revolutionary

soldier was a candidate for Congress, and., his opponent was : a young man who “ had never been to the wars,” and it was the custom of the old soldier to tell of the hardships he en­dured. Said he: “ Fellow citizens,

have fought and bled for my coun­try. I have helped to whip the Brit­ish and the Indians. I have slept on the field of battle with no other cov­ering than the canopy of heaven. I have walked over the frozen ^ground till every footstep was marked with blood.” Just about this time, one of the voters, who had become greatly interested in ’ his tale of sufferings, walked up to the speaker, wiped the tears from his eyes* with the extremi­ty of his coat tail," and interrupted him with,, “ Did you, Say . you had fout the British Ingins ?” “ Yes sir. ’ “ Did you say you had slept on tho ground while serving your country, without any. kiver ?” “ Yes,” replied the speaker, exultingly. “ Well, then,” said the tearful speaker, as he gave a sigh of pent-up emotion. “ I. guess I ’ll vote for t’other fellow, for I ’ ll be hanged if you hain’ t done enough for your country.”

Two skeletons have recently been unearthed near Bliss field, and tire pco pie are greatly excited thereat. Two years ago, it seems, two men came there to buy a farm, stayed all night with a man named Allen, and were never seen again. A friend of theirs in town, on whom they had promised to call, asked Allen where they were, and he said they got up in the night and left. It is said that the friends believed at the time that they hac been foully dealt with.

Speaking of the prospects for the lumber trade in the valley, the Sagi­naw Courier says: “ There are large number of buyers In the mar­ket, prices for lumber and shingles are well sustained, and the prospect is very encouraging. The mills are started much later than usual, which, with the large shortage in the stock o f logs', can but result in the better times for the lumbermen of the valley than has been experienced in some years. The progress may he slow, but is sure, and we believe on the whole will be satisfactory.”

because it is afraid o f losing its price, continually at difference with its 'one friend, without whom it must perish; Labor striking, demanding shorter time, more wages, dictating imperious rules about piece-work and apprenti­ces, quarreling with its one friend, without which it must die or seek the poor-house. To adjust these differen­ces is tho problem of the day.. One way out of the difficulty is to

make the laborer a capitalist. The savings bank is the chief aid in this direction. Le.fc the worker put a part of his earnings in a bank and he be­comes a capitalist in a small way: He learns to view the subject of interest and dividends with the eyes o f a lender, and he is straightway jealous of his capital and its rights. He joins the other party, and, belonging to both, he the more readily sees that it is for the interest of both to work together.

Education is offered as another so- lutidh. Give the workingman a busi ness education and he learns to see and understand the laws that govern the movement and interest. Finally, comes the idea of co-operation— the

.giving the laborer a share in the guid­ance and' profits of the work, the union o f capital and labor in any par­ticular undertaking. " Co-operation is, in theory, the most sensible and the most just solution to this question that has been offered. In practice it has been attended with every imagin­able degree of success and failure. It has been repeatedly tried in every branch of business, both here and, in Europe. In a certain way it is al­ready in active operation through the agency of savings-banks, loan,friendly and building associations, and insur­ance companies: But, as these are usually managed, they are not wholly co-operative in a commercial sense. In the case of savings banks the la­borers contribute to the capital and have‘no control over it, while capital­ists man'age the funds for a salary or an extra dividend, or other considera­tion over’ and above the interest paid to the real owners of the money.— .

Four innocent men have just been pardoned out of tho Oregon state prison after spending three years there on life sentences. In 1872 a stage was stopped, in a lonely place by four masked men who took from it gold dust worth $4,200. The nearest house: was the residence of the four men who wero afterward wrongfully convicted. Footprints were found leading from the place of the robbery- .to that house, and it was also ascer­tained thatr the men had been out late on the night of tho crime. There was. no other indication of "their guilt; hut the public sentiment was very strong against robbers, and no more convinc­ing facts wero "demanded, A mob visited the house,’ caught one of the men and scared him with threats of- hanging into saying that he and the others were guilty. The*false confes-: sion would not have saved his life, but. the arrival of an officer did, and then, he declared the untruthfulness" o f his statement. Tho four were tried and hurriedly convicted, and sentenced for life, although the driver o f the stage swore to an opinion that they -were not the robbers, for which testimony he narrowly escaped being lynched as

Snyder, as. best shot, killing nine birds out o f a possible ten.

An Evening News correspondent from Niles who must- have either been drunk or have depended on flying gossip for his information, gives the following report o f the match :* “ At. the shooting match: at B u­

chanan yesterday where South Bend­ers and Buchananeis contended, Charles Scheider, of Buchanan; took the belt for killing nine out o f a possible ten. Frank Ross and John Graham, both o f Buchanan, tied on the first trial, and shot off for the second money. Ross won by killing nine out o f a possible ten. Ed. Spear, o f South Bend, took the third prize. The South Bend club was badly ‘scooped.’ ”

The South Bend club was not rep­resented . at all, neither did Frank Ross or Ed. Spear make a shot. This is about as near the- truth as this cor­respondent’ gets in his. reports from this place.

Judge Coolidge sentenced Jack Glover, of Dayton, who killed Sylves­ter Otto, four months ago, and Was convicted of manslaughter two weeks since,: to pay a fine of §175, in default of which ten months in the State Prison. The sentence is considered just by all.— Detroit News.

Sensible talk, that, for a learned paper like the News. And then they do consider a fine o f §175 a just pun­ishment for killing a human being, do they? Judge Coolidge did the mur­derer justice, did he? Now we call such a trial and such a punishment shameless, brazen mockery, and it would te a disgrace to any other court but that o f Judge Coolidge. For a man to fly into a passion, grasp a club and dash his neighbors’ brains out, and then let him off with a loss fine than this able (?) and righteous Judge Coolidge often imposes on harmless culprits for stealing a few dollars in money, is simply an out­rage and mockery on law and justice. A man with such an ungovernable temper has no business to run at large. State prison is the proper place for him, for precious and priceless life and limbs are not safe when such a temper is outside of holts and bars. What little we have learned of Judge Coolidge, on the bench, wo concludehe must be a h--------1 o f a Judge, andwe hope the good Lord will ever de­liver us from the jeopardy o f a resi­dence within the jurisdiction o f his circuit.-—H artford D ay Spring.

W e would add that not a year since, a man in this township killed his neighbor's dog, which same killing cost him about the same that it did Glover for killing a man.

A Widely Applicable Remedy.Few remedies are applicable to such a

w id e range or disorders as Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, and this not because it has special properties adapted to the cure of each— such a pretence would be mani­festly absurd,— but on account o f its won­derfully improving effect upon the general taue o f the system, and its alterative ac­tion upon the organs o f nutrition, secretion and discharge^ Besides its well known properties as a remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers, dyspepsia, constipa­tion, torpidity o f the liver, general debility, urinary and uterine difficulties, it invaria­bly proves to be highly serviceable in overcoming anoemia, hypochondria, rheu­matism; insomnia, and many Other disor­ders and disabilities originating in poverty or impurity o f the blood, nervous weak­ness or over excitement, or an imperfect performance o f the physical functions.

A ll persons who aspire to beauty or personal appearance Should not neglect that natural accessory, the hair. B y many it has been neglected until the hair has be­come thin, gray, or entirely fallen off. Messrs. Hall & Go., Nashua, N. H., have produced an effectual remedy, called Sicil­ian Hair Eenewer, which cures all diseas­es ot the scalp. This wonderful prepara­tion acts upon the glands, which support and nourish the hair, restores gray hair to its original color, makes the scalp white and clean, removes and prevents the form­ation ot dandruff and all cutaneous erup­tions ; and, by its tonic . and nutritive properties, restores the scalp to a healthy state, and creates a new growth. A s a dressing, it is unsurpassed, giving the hair that brilliancy so much admired by all.— Boston. Commercial

Farming In Nebraska.W e clip the following from the “ Farm-

e r f (a paper to be had free on application to the Land Commissioner B. & M. B. E ., Burlington, Iowa), as something likely to prove interesting to many of our readers. W e would advise all who contemplate moving west to visit Southern Iow a and : Southern Nebraska before going elsewhere.

Mr. E . W . Smith, o f Ashland, Saun­ders county, came to Nebraska in 1870, from Grant Co., Wis., and bought 320 acres of land, at $S per acre' from the B. & H . B . B . Co., now worth §20 per acre. H e has 250 acres under th.e plow, and he finds the country adapted to all kinds of grain and vegetables. The climate, he says, is the best, the winters are short, stock can feed among the cornstalks and do well the most o f the feeding season. _ It is the best country I ever saw for raising bogs, an I corn can be grown very easily. Since I came to Nebraska 81 families from Grant Co., W is., have settled around me," and they are all doing better than ever they did East. One ot my neighbors bad §5,000 and bought 240 acres of railroad land at §14,00 per acre, In three years he had doubled his capital. Nebraska is a State where a man with means may. settle with great advantage,

Near Harvard, in Clay Co., John A . Bishoff settled in 1871, taking up a quar­ter section of land. A t that time fie had only a span of horses and a plow, and very little other means. H e has now a house, corn crib and granary, and owns two cows, several head of young .stock, and a small herd of hogs. His wheat harvest in 1875 averaged 24 1-4 bushels per acre, 6 1-2 acres in china tea wheat, reaching 30 bushels to the acre- Twenty: acres ot corn produced 1,400 bushels, or an average of 70 bushels to the acre; 13 acres of barley, 44 bushels per acre ; and oats 58 bushels per acre. Mr; Bishoff has* a young or­chard of apple, peach and cherry trees, and. all trees are in thrifty condition. H e says, “ a man with the same amount of labor, can get a larger yield from Nebraska soil than from the soil of any State east of the Missouri river.”

A Coldwater dispatch says that Mr. S. C. Rose, o f the firm of Swan, Roso & Co., contractors, has received in­formation that the court of common pleas of Fulton county, Ohio', had confirmed the report of the referees rendered November 27 last, in favor of. that company and against ■ the Mansfield, Coldwater and Lake Mich­igan railroad company. The judg­ment is for cash at that date, §141,- 181.65; stock iri that railroad, §224,- 614.60 ; and stock in the Toledo,'Tif­fin & Eastern railroad,:. *§5,469.40: making a iota! o f 0371^27^.55. '

[Benton Harbor Times.]The Times went to Chicago by the

Messenger. p On hoard were a num­ber of lady passengers, and among them were: two or three school mar ms from Buchanan. It was ' not very rough, although rough enough to stir the bile in a person unused to the raging deep. These school- marms have, during the past school term, been feaching geography and giving a somewhat minute attention to the map of the old ' world, especially Europe. The way they have taught it, Europe is evidently spelled with a Y , as thus, Your-up: This has no reference to a person’s dinner, or supper, especially a school marm’s, but refers generally to anything that is up, as your-up in your hunk, or your-up on your hands and knees, or your-up anywhere. The plain fact o f the matter is the school marms were not to blame for being well up, as the saying is, on the map of Your-up, and after a din­ner or supper was np they had a per­fect right to say Your-up, and ask for it to stay up. They were a pretty fine lot of girls anyhow, and it was a plaguy shame it rained all day Sat­urday in Chicago, as they intended ‘ taken up” all the sights i f it had been pleasant. The next time they come down here to go to Chicago* they should pick out a)pleasant day and not fail to go and see the crib which sup­plies Chicago with such fine, clear water. .

Wise Sayings.Some church members glorify God

by eating bananas and giving the skins to the poos,— B rick Pomeroy.^ T h c noblest spirits are those, which, turn to heaven, not in the hour o f sor­row, but in that of j o y ; like the lark, they wait for the clouds to disperse, that they may soar up into their na­tive elements.— lliehter.

Let the counsel of thine own heart stand; for there is no man more faith ful unto thee than it, Eor a man’s mind, is sometimes wont to tell'h im more than seven watchmen that sit above in a high tower.— JScelesiasti- cus.

T here are. many whom we could not accuse .of personal vanity, who possess sufficient conceit about their intellect to stamp them as narrow to the: last degree. These have “ keen intuitions” which amount ;Sometimes “ almost to clairvoyance." These can “ road characters at a glance and nev­er make a mistake.” These can “ re­peat one hundred and forty verses of poetry without missing a word.” These can decide for good the merits and demerits o f all artistic produc­tions. They are cognizant o f all things, even o f what tho man in the moon took for breakfas t. Then there are those who are proud of being Christians. They tell everybody about “ our church,” and “ our minister,” “ onr charities,” and “ our missions,"“ our stained windows,” and “ our gilt- edged prayer hooks.” They some way seem to feel that at last they have really gotten into good society, and must make much o f the honor. They feel that the velvet o f their em­broidered altar cloth is a passport in­to heaven, and that it would he an im­pudence and an insult to their stand­ing i f St. Peter refused to open the door.

It is much easier to persuade men that God cares for certain observances than that hie cares for simple honesty and truth, and: gentleness and loving­kindness: The man; who would, shud­der at the idea, o f a rough word of the -description commonly called swearing, will not even have a twinge of con­science after a whole morning o f ill- tempered sullenness, capricious scold­ing, villianonsly unfair animadversion, or surly cross-grained treatment gen­erally o f a wife and children ! Such a man will omit neither family wor­ship nor a sneer at his neighbor.— George MacDonald.

Lot no on*e:comfort himself in the intense activity- o f his mind on the subject o f religion. That is one of the things to he dreaded. To bo al­ways thinking, debating, scheming in reference to the great questions of. re­ligion, without using any o f the. tal­ents that belong' more appropriately to God and the receiving’ o f God, is Just the way to extirpate,* the talents. more rapidly, and so as to; close up the .mind in: spiritual darkness.— JECoraceBuillneU

Root Bitters are strictly a Medical Preparation, snch as was used in. the good old days of onr forefathers, when people were cured by some simple root orplact, and when calomel and other poisons of the mineral kingdom were unknown. For Scrofula, Consumption, Eruptions, Rheu­matism, Fits, Heart Disouso, Dizziness, Liver Complaint, Kidney aud Urinary Diseases, Fever had‘ Ague, Dyspep­sia, Lost Vitality, and Broken Down Constitutions, these Root Bitters aro universally admitted to bo tho moat won­derful discovery in the world.

Root Bitters strike at the very: foundation of disease by cleansing the blood, and strengthening the system; hence they must reach all diseases by purification and nourishment. No medicine ever had, such a success.

C h e rry PectoralFor Diseases of tbe Throat and Dungs,

such as Coughs, Colds, Whopping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,

and Consumption.

Among tlie great discoveries of modern science, few are of more real value to mankind than tills ef­fectual remedy for all diseases of the Throat and Lungs. A vast trial of its virtues, throughout this and other countries, has shown that it does surely and effectually

control them. The testimony of our Lest citi­zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CiiEimv Tjsctouax, w ill and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders or the Tinoat ami Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of Consum p­tion , cured by this preparation, are public­ly known, so remarkable as hardly to bo be­lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute. A s a remedy it is*adequate, on which tlie pnblio may rely for full protection. By curing C oughs, the*forerunners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con­vinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unpcrceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, Which are easily met at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten­der lungs need this defence; aud it is unwise to be without it. A s a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which* beset tlie Tinoat and Chest of childhood, Ciutiurif Pe c to ral . is invaltiahie; for, by its timely use, multi­tudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedilyand surely against ordinary colds, securing sonnd and health-restoring sleep. Xo one will suffer troublesome In flu en za and pain­ful B ronchitis, when they know how easily they oan.be cured.

Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, ho cost or toil is spared, in making every bottle in the utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently re­lied upon as possessing all the virtues it lias ever exhibited, and capable o f producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

U@=,A young man o f Portsmouth, N.
