lHA CURE FOR FEVER AND AGUE-
This preparation has been before the public for
nuEber OF years, and in every instance,
where it has been tested with
fairness, it has shown itself radical cure for all

viz: Nervous or Bilious headache, in
delicate females or children melancholy dyspep-
sia, general debility, DC. In bilious fever and
chllls and fever its value, not only as relief,
but as an actual cure, has been fully proved. A
small quantity of TIE Morning Star Bltters, taken
daily, will prevent the attacks of any OF the above
complaints, even where tendency for the same
may exist. 1t is not intended for this article to
ln1ilct with physicians as will be seen by the few
testimonials there attached and the many more

THE BUGG BEAR.

Natral History has its myths and its
ghosts, az well az emmy boldly else, and
foremost among these 1.-THE bugg
bear.
The bugg bear IL born from an imagi-
nary egg, and IL hatched by an imagi-
nary process.
They are like shadow in the AFTER
noon, always good deal bigger than
the thing that casts it,.
They are composed ov two entirely
different animals, the bugg and the be ",
but generally turn out to be pretty
much all bugg.
They are like the assets ov bank
rupt broker, the more you examine
them, the smaller they grow.
| have known them tew cum out ov
hole like a mice, and grow in few min
utes az big az an elephant, and then run
back agin into the same hole they cum
out ov.
They are like a young wild pigeon in
their habits, the biggest when they are
first born.
They are common to all countrys and
all peoples, the philosophers hav seen
them az often az the children hav, and
ben az badly skared by them.
They are az Innocent az a rag doll,
but are az full of devlltry az jack Ian
tern.
Bugg bears are az plenty in this
world az pms on the sidewalks, but
nobody ever seen them but those folks
who are allus hunting for them.

SETTING OUT STRAWBERRY BEDS.

Strawberry plants can now be set out
from the middle of August to the end
of September. 1t is true August is
generally q very warm and very dry
month, but in case of the absence of
rain the newly planted beds must be
watered every day or two until they
become established.
The bed should not be in q damn SIT
uation, or the soil heavy. Dig deep.
pulverize finely, and apply a pretty
heavy dose of good barn-yard manure.
Let the divisions be about three and q
half feet i'll width and as long as NAV be
desirable. Set the plants about eiph-
teen inches apart, insert them in The
ground firmly but not too deeply, and
then Keep clear of all grass and weeds,
AS to the varieties, the following are
recommended: "Triumph," )" "RusseH."
"Hovey," and "Jucunda." Thew
should be planted in this wise in max
ing up full bed, with halfa dozen or
a dozen divisions: First, Triumph: Sec
ond Jucunda; third, Hovey; fourth Rus
sell. In shis way fine crop is assured
with as much certainty as anything can
be. The last of November protect the
Plants With light covering of straw
the first year, after that if needed lipbt
mature n'ay be substituted as cover
ing.
A half a crop may be expected the
first season. A mulch of straw cut two
or three inches long will keep the
ground moist and cool, which this 5er-
ry likes, and sif1othessthe weeds. This
should be applied the first of April
An application of spent ian is also ex-
cellent.

THE COMET,

For ten years past astronomers have
told us that during the months of July
August and September in this year, the
most wonderful comet the world has
ever known would reappear. This COM
et'is on time, 1t is now to be seen with
the naked eye, any clear night, in the
northern. part of the heavens, between
eleven and twelve O'Clock, and from
that time until the morning star rises.
A Astronomers assure us that this comet
will approach nearer the earth than any
comet ever did before, and that either
the earth or the comet will have to
change its course, or collision is inevi-
table, This comet is said to be many
thousand times larger than the earth.
It'll solid mass of fire that would reach
around the earth more than a hundred
times, and collision with our planet
is not an event to be very ardently de-
sired.

SWEET CORN FOR WINTER.

A Tennessee correspondent of Hearth
and Home gives the following directions
in reference to putting up green corn
Tor winter use. Shave il from the cob.
and pack it In an open vessel with Law
e"s of salt. We never have fears of
getting too much salt, as we do not
think large quantity Injuries the corn.
In preparing it for use, do not soak it i'm
cold water, but have vessel of boiling
water ready, AMI throw your corn into
it. Let IL slmper few minutes. then
pour of and refill with boiling water.
Do this three times, and your corn will
be ready for cooking. The hot water
cooks the milk in the corn and prevents
its soaking away; whereas, if cold wa
ter was used, the milk, and, consequent
~, tne richness and flavor of the corn
would pass away with it. Corn put up
and treated in this way will be iust as
good, after having been Kept five years,
as 1t was when first cut from the cob.

sCOURs IN CALVES.

There is no disease with which calves
are SO much troubled rs scours, or diar-
rhe, and 1t not unfrequently that they
die with it, if neglected. The trouble
is usually brought on by exposure to
cold storms and irregular feeding, but
may arise from other causes; such as
feeding meal too freely in milk, or from
giving whey too plentifully. When
running with the COW it is caused some
times by the milk becoming uhwhoIe-
some by fever in the dams udder.
The mucous membrane ofthe calf be-
comes infiamed, and il not soon allayed
the lungs become affected, and death.
follows. The first Indications of the
disorder will be thinness of the dis
charges, changing in the second stage
to white, watery and often bloody
secretion. So long as the calf, after an
attack, appears lively, and eats with an
apparent relish, there is no particular
danger, but this is the very time that
he should be al tended to, for after the
disease has become firmly seated it is
very obstinate.
The first operation necessary is to
put him in some very warm, dry place
under cover, unless the weather is yery
fine out OF doors, and the sun not too
hot. and administer such remedies as
will remove the acidity cf the stomach,
Which may usually be done by giving
one ounce of powdered chalk in the
milk once day. Scalding the milk
will sometimes give relief. But this is
not to be depended upon in severe cases,
Two or three ounces of castor oil, with
flour Cruel, is excellent.
When calf running with the dam is
under treatment tor diarrh9a, and it is
supposed that the milk has a morbid
tendency on the calf, give the COW, in,
four doses, one every four or five hours.
.he following mixture: Charcoal, finely
powdered, half a pound; lime water of
moderate strength, four ounces; tinc-
ture OF matico, two ounces, in ore pint
of water.
When astringent medicines are given,
such as decocti0n OF oak bark or brake
root, care must be taken or the loose
ness will be checked too suddenly, and
the case made worse. 1t is the best 20
use heating remedies and those ofa
laxative nature. 1t is an excellent
plan to keep lump of common chalk
in the feeding trough constantly, after
the calves are month old; this will
correct the acidity of the stomach and
have tendency to keep them in heal
thy state.

THE CHARACTER OF ST. PAUL.

Renan, in his Life of ST. Paul. says:
'ln everything true ancestor of Pro-
testantlsm, Paul has all the defects of a
Protestant He does not concede to
st. Paul superlatively high morale.
He was not Saint says Renan; the
dominant trait in his (the Apostle'sl
character was not goodness. He was
naughty, stiff. aggressive; he defended
himself, asserted himseif; he used some
hard language; he held himself to be
absolutely in the right; he stuck to his
own opinion; he quarreled with various
persons.' And more than this, M.
Renan speaks of jealousy as the basis
of his character, and even attributes to
him at times something like deliberate

WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE CoLORED
MEN

A number of colored men sbeliyino
the present favorable time for pro-
noting harmony and good feeling be-
| tween the white and colored classes OF
| the community recently requested
Mr.. Charles l.. Mosby, of Lynchburg,
to address chem in regard TO their pros
| poets, circumstances and situation.
Mr.. Mosby's physical strength was
unequal to the task during the present
extreme weather, and he thought it
best, too, that the public mind of both
classes should be left for a while to S Ct
tie down to calmer mood after the ex-
citing scenes of the late election: but
he wrote letter to them, promising to
address them at some time in the fn-
ture, which concludes with the follow
ing excellent advice, which we COM
mend to the colored people of this re-
gion:
"As to social rights-the rights of
civilization-let me speak to you can
didly. These rights can neither be
created or regulated by law. In the
forclble language of another, 'sthe CIV
illzatfon of the white man is the work
of centUrles-the accumulation of hun
dreds of years of labor and sacrifice.
This civilization is not so cheap that
you can be admitted into it in day.
You can't vote yourself into 1.-THE
ballot is no talisman, 1T has no mira
culous power. You have got to work
for your civilization as Truly as for
your bread. Let me then as friend
OF your race, counsed you and your
friends generally, to cease 30 be poll
ticians. and 60 to work (each in his
own way,) to make the means of COM
Portable living for his family, to educate
his children, TO rear tlem ia the path
of virtue and religion, and lift them up
as high as possible in the sphere they
are destined to fill, and my word for it
you will always find in the whites true
and faithful friends, between whom
and yourselves there will be harmony
of feeling, of interest, and of action,
and common good, public and private
result to all.

EVENING. e

| Twilight litigers on the mountains.
Whispers low the evening gale,
Where the cooling ater-fountains,
Bless the vale.
Softly now, the night bird lone,
Softly chants the monotone.
To the broad blue heaven above us
Stars in myriad legions come,
Like the sainted ones who love us,
Beek'ning h me;
ana Inc eye, with wrapt delight,
IaKes IN all the glorious sight.
spirit melodies are filling
All the pure ETHEREAL air,
Indistinct, yet gently stilling
Every care.
In the silent, silent dell,
Hear that voiceless music swell.
Visions, dreams of'beauty, floating
Dimly from purer sphere,
Earthly splendor all unnoting-
All how dear.
When the hearth with grief is riven.
Are those blessed dreams of heaven.
Pleasantly the starlight falleth
Where the Thames dark waters glide;
Hark the weary boatman calleth
Ger the tide.
And the watcher sad and lone,
Halls after the welcome tone.
There are wood of sacred greeting
Softly spoken DER and o'er,
Blending with the hearts quick beating,
Evermore.
Darkness settles on the hill,
And the wide, wide earth is still.
To the many God has given
Morning and the noontide bright:
But to me, the shades of even,
And the night.
Then my spirit soareth free,
Then the earth is bright to me.
