A FAcr.-H people were to think twice before
they speak once, conversation would not only be
reduced very much, but many would not speak at
all-for the reason that some people have no
thought. 49, - l,ie - =.
On LoyE.-Some, writer proposes to write a
book on the language Of love-, The best work
ever got up On that subject, or that will be, is a
couple of squeezing hands and two pair of beam
ing eyes. The pen may be mighty, but It is
mighty small in comparison with them. ID. g.a..a

lamps, we would mention that if the .wicks are
soaked in strong vinegar for twenty four hours
and thoroughly dried before being used, all smoke

Discovery OF CoAL.-We learn that vein Of
Anthracite Coal, of good quality, has been discov
cred in North Mountain, Shenandoah county, near
the graded road leading from Mt. Jackson to DIRK
ney Springs. If this deposit should prove to be
as extensive as those who have examined it seem
to think it is, it will be of incalculable value to
the iron furnaces in that section. r-.-t..A
Favorable indications of Coal have been also
discovered in Cedar Greek Valley, North of Wood
stock. From the indications which we have from
various sources there can be no doubt of the ex-
istenee of Coal, and also Of Manganese in that re-
gion.- Com,aonseealM e
Circus CoMIEa.-Jim Robinson's cham ion.
circus is advertised to show at Danville on the

youngest and prettiest child, and his father the
best rider who has ever appeared in the arena.

"a MARX OF A GESTLEMAs.-No man is a gentle.
man, who without provocation, would treat with
incivility the humbest Of his species. 1t is vul
garity for which no accomplishment of dress or
address can ever atone. Show us the man who
desires TO make every one around him happy,
and whose greatest solicitude is never to give
cause of offence to any one, and We will show
you gentleman by nature and by practice, tho
he may never have worn suit of broadc1oth,
nor ever heard Of o lexicon. We are proud to
say, for the honor of our species, there are men
in every throbl of whose heart there is q solci-r
tn lie for the welfare Of mankind, and whose eve
~ breath is perfumed with kindness.

sons complain about their physical disabilities
which bring so much discomfort to both mind and
body, that they find no qualification in anything
around them. One has no satisfying rest at night
another is always peevish, and respondent, still
another takes no delight in society, and others
again find no compensating pleasure in labor
exercise, or even life. No name is given in pa
hoogy for their ailments. nevertheless the causes
power, and Prof. Baker says that ssthe best rem
edy for this class is MISHLERs HERB BIT

and with uniform success" as it tones the Stom-
