MINERAL SPRING.-The newly dis
covered mineral spring near the
mountain road in Jay, is proving of
rare medicinal value. A young man
of twenty years, living in jay; who
has been afflicted with from one to
five fits day for several years, has
been entirely cured by using the wa
ter. At least he has not had one for
more than two months. Another has
been troubled with running sore on
his leg which has not healed for twelve
years until after drinking the spring
water several days, now it appears to
be entirely well. These are bona
ide cases, so We are credibly inform
ed.

same for a similisr reason il is account
ed unlucky to leave them whole. They
avoided cutting their nails on Friday, be.
cause bad luck would follow but we
have improved upon their practice, and
lay doNh the whole theory as follows:
"Cu, your nails on Monday, you cut them for
news,
Cut them on Tuesday, new pair Of shoes,
Cut them on Wednesday, cut them for health,
Cut them on Thursday cut them for wealth,
Cut them on Friday, cut them for woe,
Cut them on Saturday, a journey youn go,
Cut them on Sunday, you'll cut them for evil,
For all the next week you'll be ruled by The
devil"
Most grsndmothers will exclaim, "God
bles. you !" when they hear little child
sneeze, and they sum up the philosophy
of the subject with The following lines,
which used TO deligh, the writer IN :he
days o. his childhood
"Sneeze on Monday, you sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday, you kiss stranger;
Sneeze on Wednesday, you sneeze Tor letter ;
Sneeze on Thursday, for something better;
Snecze on Friday, you snesze for sorrow
Sneeze on Saturday, your sweetheart tO-nOr-
row;
Sneeze on Sunday, your safety seek,

The Piano Manufa ctory or Charles NJ.

Among the many evidences which da-
ly come 10 oUr notice as 10 the ability Of
the Southern people to manufacture for
themselves and supply every want at

Stief, Piano manufacturer Of Baltimore,
Nd, has attracted our particular attention.
This success has mol been the fruit Of sec.
lional feeling, is not Of sudden growth but
ha, been honestly earned, in the face Of
the strongest kind Of competition, by
long years Of toll and enlightened enter
prise. Years ago Mr.. Slief began the
manufacture Of Pianos in Baltimore on a
small scale. He had 10 contend against
The prejudice that existed in Iavor Of GER
tain popular manufacturers at the North
and Europe; prejudices that were kept,
alive, so far as the North was concerned,
by their continued efforts 10 extend the
popularity OF their own manu(scloTes and
10 delracI from the merits Of others. Ysl
he kept on, knowing that he could make
as good 60 article as nybody he Was
content to sell al reasonable pro6is.
Never taking advantage Of the g1orsnes
or csreIessnesS Of his customers TO palm

gents TO canvass the country, established
agencies wherever possible, paying lIbeI-
al commissions, and he is now al The head
OF one OF the most hourishing establish
ments in America and daily shipping in
slrunents TO ell paris Of The country from
the Northwest to Texas. As Mr.. SIeh
has principally devoted his attention 10
the manufacture for Southern use. his pi-
amos are perhaps beuPr suited 10 the eli.

by sudden changes Iron. extreme heat TO

case with those Of even tide best Norihsrn

it asserted on good authority, thai in some
sections OF The South no other pianos car

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands.
They're neither White nor small.
And you, ] know, would scarcely think
That they werefsir az all:
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculpior's dream might be.
Yet these aged wrinkled hands
Mos, beautiful TO me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
Though heart were wesry and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on.
Tha. The children might be glad.
| almos, weep, as looking back
To childhood's dslsn, day,
think how these hands rested not.
While mine were at their play.
Such beautiful. beautiful hands,
They're growing feeble now,
For time and pain have lef. their mark
On hand, and heart, and brow.
Alas alas ! the nearing time,
And the sad day 10 me,
When meath the daisies, out OF sight,
These hands will folded be.
But o. beyond this shadowy lamp,
Where all is bright and lair.
know full well these dear old hands
Will palms Of victory bear.
Where crystal streams, through endless
years,
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again
I'll clasp my mothers hands.
