Hath taken from thine arms thy little one,
Too frail for earth, in her sweet innocence,
She leaves us for faircr, brighter home.
Or cast q paleness DER her sweet young face;
Her aching head no more will throb with pain,
No more will sorrow & tear her cheek deface.

Nearing the margin Of the swelling tide;
Praise God, thy little one the angels meet,
And bear her safely to the other side.
She Chaps her joyous hands in glory now,
And scans with sweet surprise that world of bliss
A wondrous beauty beams upon her brow.
Within her heart there comes wondrous peace
A crown of life is placed upon her head;
And with gladstone heart and spirit free,
She bows adoringly TO Him who said.

And claims her mansion In the heavenly place;
She takes the golden harp by angels made,
And sweetly sings her Redecmer's praise.

A MYSTERY.-It Is q mystery to
most people how combination of
medicines put up under one name
can have sufficient curative powers
to cure so many different diseases,
and often the very best of remedies
are discarded or branded as humbugs
because they are recommended to
cure so many complaints. This no.
menclature of diseases would seem
to imply some essential difference
between the diseases thus distin-
guished, whereas, they are really one
aud the same disease, merely differ
ing by the amount of inflammation or
Irritation in one organ rather than
the other. For instance, from tor
pid state of the Liver we have Jaun-
dice, Nervous and Sick Headache,
Bilious Fever, Dyspepsia, Fever and
Ague, Constipation, Neuralgia, and
MISUNDERSTANDING under high
sounding names, all arising from q
disordered state of the Liver. Hence,
we say, invigorate that important
organ; purge out the vile accumula-
ton with Roback's Blood Pills, and,
once restored to vigor, take Roback's
Blood Purifier or Stomach Bitters to
keep it performing its regular func-
tions, and you will he no longer
troubled with these many ailments.

chemist of Chicago. Twenty differ
ent samples have been opened, that
were over year old, and tested 10y

a more severe test was that of putting
up the eggs in basket and hanging
them over the stove for 60 days, and
the house-keeper used The eggs and
the taste and smell was like fresh
egg. Messrs. Bruson g. Rounds, No.
4 Arcade Court, Chicago, are largely
engaged in putting up the prescrvas

sufficient to save 100 thousand dozen.
The cost is only II cents per dozen
for the preventative to parties who
wish to test it with n view of purchas-
ing territory, and after securing the
right to manufacture the preventative
it will cost them less than one half
cent per dozen. The parties have
secured patent for the process.

Hivlng Bees.

PLACE the hive on table or level spot
OF ground in the shade, tack square
yard or more of muslin or linen to the
top side of the alighting board, and
spread 1t out as a carpet or which to place
the bees then, if the limb on which the
bees have "settled" be worthless, gently
cut it of, carry and lay it on the cloth !;
with large spoon place few bees near
the entrance and they will all soon crawl
in. Should any remain outside under the
porticO, they should be brushed down
with quill feather until ali have entered.
as, if the queen should remain outside, the
bees would soon leave the hive; when all
have entered, the hive should Immediately
be removed tn where it is designed it shall
permanently remain. Great care should
be taken to have the sides of the hive
level with each other, while the back end
should be raised about three inches higher
than the front, thus forming (of the bot
tom board) an inclined plane, and render
ing it easy for the bees to clean their hive
Of moths and dust. When the swarm
alghts on the body or limb of a tree, or
upon the limb of a valuable tree, they
may be very quietly and gently brushed
with quill feather into a box or open
basket, and then quickly covered, carried

Stick to the Plaw and the Plane.

DON'T come to the city, my boy. Your
chance, in the long run, is better where
you are. Hundreds, indeed, make for
tunes here, but thousands live wearisome
and even suffering lives in the city Clerks
have larger salaries than young farmers,
but then their expenses for boarding,
clothes, and amusements, are SO much
larger, that less is saved at the end of the
year. Then the temptations Of the city
are so strong and so constant that few
young men resist them. Not many young
city clerks, even if they avoid bad company
are able early in life to have a home of
their own. A young man in the country,
soon after his time becomes his own, can
secure capital enough, with an economical
wife, to set up housekeeping for himself,
and have a quiet, comfortable, and even
beautiful little home of his own. One of
the wealthiest men in the vicinity of Bos-
ton, who died a few years since, said the
happiest years of his life were passed
when he was gathering, very slowly, the
beginnings of his fortune When he mar
ried, he and his wife were worth, each,
twenty-five cents, and they labored low
ingly and happily together. This was GER
tainly very small fortune for two TO
commence upon, but they were worth
hundreds OF thousands when they died,
gathered by economical labor The writer
knows an excellent young man in this city
who is now nearly thirty. He has long
been engaged to a young lady of fine tai
ents and a good temper. 1t would be a
great comfort to both TO be married but
then, his salary, although quite large,
would not support them in the style of
life to which the young woman has been
accustomed in her own home. Besides,
the position of clerks is very uncertain.
By the failure of what was considered one
of the strongest houses in the city, this
young man was thrown out of place and
salary for six months. Stick to the plow
then, or to some solid, wholesome trade.
You will then be sure of comfortable
living. You can earlier have home of
your own, and you will be less exposed to
the constant changes in business, which
destroy at one blow the earnings of years.

How to Destroy the CurculiO and Save
the PlumS.

NEARLY every one has some method OF
destroying the curculiO, but few of those
suggested seemed to be of any practical
value. The use of whale oil, soap, kero-
sene oil, smoke, salt, lime, sulphur, tar,
cotton and wool twisted around the tree,
or any of these is of no avail. The curculiO
will still make his halfmoon incision and
deposit his egg. The only process that
has yet proved itself effective in my ex-
per;ence is to jar or shake the tree every
morning from the time the fruit is as large
as pea until 1t is fully two-thirds grown.
BY pasting newspapers together and plac-
ing them under the tree, fitting them close
ly around the trunk, the curculio will fall
on the paper when the tree is shaken, and
can be easily destroyed. BY practising
this plan on your plum trees every morn
ing, as directed the fruit can be saved. 1t
is sometimes necessary to thin out the
fruit, especially of young trees, which are
apt TO set more fruit than they can ripen.
and unless relic we'd in this way very often
die after the first heavy crop is matured,
1t is better for the fruit itself to thin it
out, also that which is left To ripeo being
improved by it-Erperimentd Farm Jour
nal.

The Indiana " Ratification"

SINCE the appearance in print of doc
ument by Mr. Senator Morton to prove
that the so-called ratification, by the In
diana Legislature, of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, was regular aud legal, there have
been some Republican papers In different
parts OF the country willing to accept 1t
as q true Interpretation of the case The
New \ ork Times of June 2d, however,
accOros small weight to Mr. Morton's
somewhat ingenious argument, which it
truly designates as "a piece of special
pleading In support of partisan purpose"
that lacks cogency and moral force"
The Times shows that until it became
party necessity to adopt some such con-
struction of the constitutional power of
the Indiana legislature as that assumed
by Senator MOTtOn-namely that it re-
quired only twO-thirds of those present,
and not of the whole body, to ratify-
neither party deemed the constitution
meant less than twO-thirds of the whole
number of senators and members respec-
tlvely. Both the Senate and the House ac-
quiesced in this rendering in March
last, when the Democratic ope-thii q bOlted
to avert 4 vote upon the amendment If
Mr.. Morton's theory is correct, says the
Times, the Legislature should then have
gone on with its business, re-
gardless of the absence of those
who had resigned their seats. And
the fact that that course was not pursued
that the resignation of one third was
held by both parties to render the fDrma-
ton of a quorum impossible-is prima
facie evidence that SO recently as two
months ago Mr. MortOn's version was not
entertained by his party friends. Gov
ernOr Bakers proclamation in regard to
the new elections, rendered necessary by
the action of the boilers, may also be
cited in the same connection. He de-
clared legislative business stopped by the
absence of the Democrats, who composed
more than One-third, and by assuming
this position, TIE Republican Governor
urged by the Republican Senator.
But the New York Times only touches
upon the legal points involved in this case.
There is no one, we presume, who ques-
tlOns the fact that the people OF Indiana
are, by an overwhelming majority, op-
posed to the principle involved In this
Fifteenth Amendment. The vote by
which the members who resigned when
the question came up for decision in the
Legislature were reelected, was nearly
unanimous, and, had the opportunity been
presented as to the remainder of the
body, there is no doubt whatever that
upon the issue of ratifying or rejecting the
amendment, an insignificant minority
only could have been returned favorable
to the ratification. We remember that in
at least one of the Indiana Congressional
