much to say that ladies ought not to talk
at concerts, for that is partly what many

ought not to raise their voices too high, is
made plain by little story which we find
in Mr.. Hopkins Philharmonic Journal.
During concert in the Boston Music

with her neighbor about her household
arrangements. She suited the tones of
her voice to those of the organ, but ''reck-

the lady warning; consequently the audi

Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need

Nor check the flow Of the golden sands
That run through single hour.
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part, and perform it all
Over and over again.
The path that has once beer trod
Is never so rough to the feet.

Is never so hard to repeat.

And the heart to its depth be driven
With storm and tempest. we need them all

AN AQUEOUS FACT. A correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Sunday Transcript
tells the following good story: l heard a
funny story the other day. I'm sure it has
never been published, for the incident oc>
Cured just across the Missouri river from
this place. A couple, somewhat adj
vanced in life, who had for many years
been noted for their profanity, were con-
verted during revival of religion in their
native place. Every one interested in the
progress of Christian religion was rejoiced
at the radical change. Everything went
along smoothly, and with many other
converts, they 'went down to the water"
to be baptized. The day was exceedingly
cold. DIr. S went into the water
frst, while his wife watched him standing
upon the bank of the river. No sooner
had the old gentleman touched dry land
than he startled the bystanders by calling
ont to Mrs Sin his own peculiar drawl-
ing tone:
Polli-P-o-ll i-I-say,-don't go
down into that ar watsr-it's colder than

The VEGETABLE KINGDOM The term
tsble"-is probably derived from the pc
culiar long and pointed form of this de-
scriotion of esculsnts, hence originally
called wedge eatable, then vegetable, and
now refined into the present term.
Annual Towering plants resemble
whales, as they come up to blow.
Flowers are very warlike in their dis
position, and are ever armed with pistils
They are migratory In their habits, for
wherever they may winter, they are sure to
leave in the sprinr, most of them very
polite and full OF boughs
Like dandies, the coating of many trees
is their most valuable portion. Cork trees
and boot trees, for instance.
Grain and seeds are not considered dam
gerous, except when about to shoot.
Several trees, like watch dogs, are val
ued mostly for their bark.
A little bark will make q rope, but it
takes large pile of wood for cord.
Though there are no vegetable beaux,
there are number of spruce trees.
1t is considered only right and proper to
axe trees before you fell them.
Fruit trees have military characters
ties. When young, they ale trained. they
have kernels, and their shoots are straight.
Grain must be treated like infants
when the head bends, it must be cradled ;
and thrashing is resorted to fit it for use.
Tares are mostly found with smaller
grains-which require sowing.
Great indulgence in fruit is dangerous,
and too free abuse of melons produce a
meloncholic effect.
Old maids are fond of pairs but can
not endure any reference to dates.
Sailors are attached to bays; oyster
men to beeches; love sick maidens TO pine.

"Blast if don't, Jenima," he spoke

his word good.

mas pet calf chewing at Josh's coat
They realized all in an instant. 1t was
the calf which followed them. and not
wolves. The gnawing that they had
heard was the harmless animal chewing
at some underground, which grew plenti-
fully around. Josh's eyes filed with
tears when he looked around There
lay the boots, but ruined forever here
the coat and vest chewed into pulp.
They said nothing, but proceeded to
the Pineapple mansion, where they told a
doleful story about being treed by wolves ;
how Joshua had sacrificed his clothes to
save their lives; how he slaughtered
nearly forty of the ravenous animals,
&c, &c.
Old Pineapple said such bravery and
devotion should not go unrewarded, and,
placing JemimA's hand in Josh's, told
him to take her as his mate.

live in little hut with enc room and q
garret, near Fleaburg, now fourishing

seen after the night it treed the devoted
couple. We rather guess it didn't.

A SPRING WAGON has been invented by
gentleman in Maysvills, Ky. which he pro-
noses IN run without any kind of an animal
or steam power. He has already perfected
a small model, wh ich runs up or down hill
yery rapidly. The power il received from
an iumenfe coilsd steel spring. which will
run half an hour without hsipg wound up.
In going up hill the spring exhausts itself.
but in going down hill it winds itself up
The inventor claims that he can carry very
heavy loads over any ordinary road.

For Diseases OF the Throat and Lungs
such as Coughs, Colds, WhOoping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.


Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence OF mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men il has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
OF the lungs and throat, have made it known a
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms OF disease and to young children is
at the time the most effectua remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs As pro;
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored TO sound health by the
Cherry PectOrdI. So complete il its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it, When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
tOrGE they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOrdE in small and frequent doses.
SO generally its virtues known that need
not publish the certificates of them here do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fuuy
maintained.

and indeed all the affections which arise

AS its name implies, Il does Cure. and does not
fail Containing neither Arsenic, Qunine, Bismuth,
Zinc, any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise Injuries any patient. The
number and importance of its cures in the ague dis
tricts are literally beyond account and we believe
without parallel in the history of AGue medicine
Our pride is gratfed by the ACCOMPLISHMENTS we
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate
cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed
Unacclimated persons, either resident in,
travelling through miasmatc localities will be pro-
tected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
For LipeT Complaints, arising from torpidity
of the Liver, it is excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, il is
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re-
markable cures where other medicines had failed.
