The Story OF a Physician.

An eminent physician in the Hearth
and Home tells the following story for
the benefit ofyo ung mothers. He says:
An intelligent young mother inquir-
ed some days since how she could best
preserve her child's linen clean and
sweet when changed frequently during
the day. directed her never to dry it
by the fire, but in tho sun and open air
if the weather permitted. You thus
not only avoid saturating the air of
your rooms with the volatile and pois-
onous gasses driven out of the linen,
but the SUMS rays have power of clean
sing and disinfecting which artificial
heat has not, and will purify and pre-
serve the linen. She followed my di-
rections but as is too often the prac-
tice dried and aired them in the nur
sery window. Hel fastidious husband
demonstrated in vain against this un-
seemly exposure. Believing that if
she saw her practice as Others saw it,
she would desist, he so directed their
afternoon walk as to bring the nursery
window into full view from a central
part of the town. Stopping abruptly,
he pointed to the offending linen flap
ping conspicuously in the breeze, and
asked sarcastically, "My dear, what is
that displayed from our window ?"
"Why," she proudly replied, that is
the flag of our Union" Conquered by
this pupgent retort, he saluted the flag
with swing of his hat, and pressing
his wife's arm closer under his own,
said as they walked homeward, "And
long may it wave"

A Baked Bible.

Mr.. Shebold, a Bohemian residing
in Chic, has Bible printed one hun
drod End fifty years ago. 1t was the
property Of his grandfather, who was
a faithful Protestant. During one of
he cruel prosecutions in Bohemia the
peasants were required to deliver up
every Bible to be burnt. Mrs. Shebold
placed hers in the center of some
dough which was ready for the oven,
and baked it. The house was carefully
searched but the Bible was not found.
When the danger was past, the Bible
was taken uninjured from the loaf,
where it had been safely concealed,

Coming to q Head.

The experiment Of negro equality is
gradually coming to "head." Every
now and then we read of some poor
black dupe of the Radicals attempting
to force himself, or herself, into the
company Of white people on railroad
car or steamboat. After awhile,
when the negroes have had ample time
and opportunity to learn better, the
white people will lose patience with
such presumption, and the negroes will
be the sufferers. The last instance of
the attempt of negro to play "equar'
with the whites is related by the Au-
gusta Ga Chronicle & Sentinel. 1t
seems that the wife of Turner, the no.
torious negro Postmaster at Macon,
Ga, was on her way from Washington
to Macon to see her royal lord. She
had purchased a first-class ticket at
Washington and got along very well in
cars allotted to white people, being
generally taken as the servant Of some
of the ladies, until she got into Geor-
gia. On the cars from Augusta to
Macon she began to act in conspic-
uous manner, feeling no doubt that she
was in her husbands territory, and
could do as she pleased. The conduc-
tor endcavored to persuade her to
leave the white folks car and 20 into
the negro car, but she refused, when
that gentleman sent one Of the train
hands to her, and he carried her out by
force. She remarked to the conductor,
"You shall hear Of me again, sir! "rll
show you who ! am, and what you
arer' ~
The Radicals and the negroes will
learn after while that Southern white
people intend 10 maintain the right Ia
travel with whom they choose.

VIZ are happy to be able to an
nounce TO our friends that DR.. Spald
ing's operating Surgeon will positively
be here on Tuesday, Sept. 7th, when
patients having Cancers, Ulcers, Sore
Eyes, Consumption, Asthma, Rheu-
matsm, or any old Chronic Disease,
can have an opportunity of consulting
him at Mrs. Carter's Hotel. The Dr.
will be at Salem, Monday, Sept. 5th
He is meeting with wonderful success
in the treatment of the diseases he pro-
poses to cure. We had felt that we
had a cause of complaint to make
against him for not coming to his last
appointment at this place, disappoint-
ing quite q number of applicants for
relief under his peculiar treatment.
But we are assured that cases of neccs
sity controlled his time at other places.
His professional duties have become
so onerous upon him lately that he
was compelled to postpone his Win
chester until the 7th of September, at
which time it is hoped that all who
need his services will be plompt to call
on him. His time is so much engaged
that he can stay but 4 very few days
here. Let every one troubled with the
above diseases be prompt to embrace
the next opportunity Of his coming.
He charges nothing for consulting
with patients about their diseases, and
if he is satisfied he cannot cure you,
he will tell you so. without putting you
to needless expense and pain, without
doing you any good. These terms
are certainly more reasonable than you
could expect from any physician who
puts any value on his time. So it
costs you nothing to lay your case be-
fore the Doctor, and you can get some
satisfaction at least as to the nature
and durability of your case, free of
charge. The more reasonable it is
that you consult him, the more unreas
enable that you deny yourself the ad-
vantage of doing so. You owe this
to yourself. Hence, we say o all at
fictel with the above diseases, apply
to the DOCTOR at once, and save your
selves time, money, and even life.
Another month may be too late. Dis
ease is a progressive thing, and is gen
orally worse for delay; its roots grow
deeper every day, and that which may
be cured to day may be incurable to-
morrow. Demonstration is the thief
of time"

"EvERYBoDY TAKES IT" has for so
long withstood the tests OF time as the
ha,le mark of Brady's Family Bitters,
that the phrase has grown as familiar
as household words. This declaration,
well-sustained by the popular decis
ions of the various State Fairs through.
out the country last year, is receiving,
rs usual, the same endorsement this
year. At the Louisiana State Fair held
at New Orleans, the most important
in the South, these famous Bitters
again carried off the premiam above al

nized sovereign remedy for many ills,

suggested that he would permit it, he
would select from the public lands
which Mr.. Madison could enter, such

much in value. that the rise would
make him comfortably rich in his old
age. The answer was, "No, sir

i ''Stick to your Bush"
/ Mr.. Morgan was rich, and also Q
good man. The people Of the town
respected him, sent him to Parliament,
and seldom undertook anything with
out asking his advice. If a school
house was to be built, the plan had to
be talked over with him. Widow p
aseed him what she should plant in her
field. Farmer s. always got his ad-
vice in buying cattle, and Mrs. R.
consulted him about bringing up her
boys.
When asked how he was so success
full, Mr., Morgan said:
II will tell you how it was. One
day when I was a lad, party of boys
and girls were going to distant pas
ture to pick whortleberries. l wanted
to 60 with them but was fearful that
my father would not let me. When 1
told him what was going on, and he
gave me permission to 60 with them
l could hardly contain myself for joy,
and rushed into the kitchen, and got a
big basket, and asked mother for q
luncheon. had the basket on my
arm, and was just going out of the
gate, when my father called me back,
He took hold of my hand, and said in
a very gentle voice: Joseph what are
you going for, to pick berries or playY
TO pick berrics," I replied. "Then
Joseph l want to tell you one thing,
it is this: When you find a pretty
good bush, don't leave it to find u bet
ter one. The other boys and girls will
run about picking little here and
little there, wasting great deal of time
and not getting many berries. If You
do as they do you will come home with
an empty basket. lfyou want berries
stick to your BUSH"
~ went with the party, and we had
a capital time. But it was just as my
father said. No sooner had one found
a good bush than he called all the rest.
and they left their several places and
ran off to their new found treasure.
Not content more than half q minute
in one place, they rambled over the
whole pasture, got very tired, and at
night had but very few berries. My
fathers words kept ringing in my ears
and l stuck to my bush. WhenI had
done with one I found another and
finished that; then ! took another.
When night came ] had large basket
full Of nice berries, more than all the
others put together, and was not so
tired as they were. went home happy.
But when l entered l found that my
father had been taken ill. He looked
at my basket Of ripe berries, and said:
"Well done Joseph; was it not as l
told you? Always stick to your bush,
He died a few days after, and l had
to make my way in the world as best
could. But my fathers words sunk
deep into my mind, and never forgot
the experience of the whorleberry par
ty-I stuck to my bush. When had a
fair place, and was doing we'll, did
not leave it and spend weeks and month
in finding one little better When 9th.
er young men said, Come with us and
we will make fortune in 2 few weeks
1 shook my head, and stuck to my
bush. Presently my employers offered
to take me into business with them, !
stayed with the old house until the
principals died, and then l had every
thing wanted. The habit of sticking
to my business led people to trust me
and gave me a character. owe all l
have and am, to this motto-"Stick to
your bush."

A Japanese Execution.

and painful position in which he had
been kept so long, and his guard was
obliged to carry him into the precincts
iof the prison. Here an ample breakfast
had been provided. of which he ate
heartily, and with evident enjoyment.
After a full half hour it was intimated
to him that his presence was expected
With the assistance of an attendant on

head. Some ten yards in front of him
and separated by rope, running across
the square, sat the presiding yakonin
and the prison authorities, calmly fan

who had been admitted.

cloth was tied over his eyes he reques-

STRANGE ColNcIDENCE.-The Syria,
cuse Courier tells of strange coinci-
dencc which happened in the family OF
a respectable gentleman of that city:
The birth of little child occurred
some nine months since. Its mother
was i'll at the time of consumption.
Since the child came into the world it
has followed the physical condition of
its mother with marvellous precision.
Would she be taken with vomiting,
the child would be afflicted in the same
manner; did her health improve for q
few weeks, marked Improvement was
noticed in the child, when her health
declined, the child's would also begin
to decline, at nearly the same time.
A short time since the mother was
taken much worse; the symptoms OF
the child were Of similar character
Finally the mother died and only few
seconds after breathing her last, the
last child followed into eternity. The
case is "a strange one showing how great
influence IN unconscious sympathy
may exert over physical condition.

Sidney Smith in his work on moral
philosophy, speaks in this wise OF what
men lose for want Of Il little brass, as
it is termed: "a great deal Of talent
is lost to the world for the want Of &
little courage. Every day sends to the
grave a number Of obscure men who
have only remained in obscurity be-
cause their timldity has prevented
them from making Il first effort and who
if they could only have been induced
to begin, would in all probability have
gone great lengths in the career offamS
The fact is, that in order to do any
thing in this world worth doing, We
must not stand shivering on the bank,
thinking of the cold and danger, but
jump in and scramble through as well
as We can. 1t will not do to be per
petually calculating risks and adjust,
ing the chances"

LOVE SONG.
I'd offer thee this hand of mine
You had but the dimes,
But purses short and slim as thine
Won't do for these hard times.
l leave thee in thy wrctchedness,
AS one too poor to mate.
For love, you know, can only bless
When based on real estate.
