Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive

DRY EARTH SYSTEM!
For the Sewage of Towns, Factories.

4 MPLE experience has shown the Dry Earth
"A System to be more efficient IN preventing foul
smells, and far less costly in construction ana re-
pairs than the Water Closet System and that it is
in all respects entirely satisfactory, whether for the
SICK Room or for constant use.
The Earth Closet offers to all in town and coun-
try every benefit possessed by the Water Closet at
far less cost, with the additional advantages that 1t
is portable and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
II promises more in immunity from offensive
odors from infection in disease and in the saving
Of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are selfcontained, and movable pail takes
the place of the vault
For use in Bed Rooms, Hospital Wards, Intrm
arcs, &c. the Commode is invaluable. II is entire

Men Who Win Women.

God has so made the sexes that wo
men, like children, cling to the men,
lean upon them as though they were
superior in mind and body. They
make them the suns of systems, and
their children reyolve around them.
Men are gods, if they but knew it, and
women burning incense at these
shrines. Women therefore, who have
good minds and pure hearts, want
men to lean upon. Think of their rev.
erencing drunkard, liar, a fool, or a
libertine. Ifs man would have a wo-
man to do him homage. he must be
manly in every sense; true gentleman;
not after the Chesterfield school, but
polite, because his heart is full of
kindness to all; one who treats her with
respect, even Difference, because she is
a woman; who never condescends to
say silly things to her; who brings her
up to his level, if his mind is above
hers; who is never over-anxious to do
right; who has no time to be frivolous
with her. Always dignifed in speech
and act, who never spends too much
upon her; never yields to temptation,
even if she puts it in his way; ambi-
tious to make his mark in the world,
whether she encourages him or not;
who is never familiar with her to the
extent of being an adopted brother or
cousin; who is not over-careful about
dress; always pleasant and considerate,
but always keeping his place of the
man, the head, and never losing it.
Such department, with noble princi-
pies, good mind, energy and industry,
will win any woman in the world who
is worth winning.

Advertising for a Burglar,

In the year 18-, there resided in
the north of England a gentleman who
was known as Sir Walter Marston.-
He was one of those men who are
cool and calculating - always look.
ing before them. He had made all his
money at IRON working; but after get
ting his title he thought fit to "selI out
and retire.
He accordingly chose a residence in
Durham, and resided there for three
years, when he determined to build a
large mansion for himself; and he &C
cordingly consulted with an architect,
and the drawing and specifications were
made out, tenders received, and the
work proceeded with.
Now when this mansion was built,
Sir William found that every one was
admiring it, and artists came and
sketched it before the glass was in the
windows. Every one declared it per-
fection, all but Sir William himself.
A very unpleasant idea had come
into Sir Williams head. He intended
to keep good many valuables, as well
as money, on the premises. Thus the
question arose, "Was it burglar
proof" The architect assured him
it was; the Inspector of police said so,
too; he thought so himself--but he
would like to be sure. The following
advertisement accordingly appeared in
some of the local papers few days af-
ter the house was finished:
NOTICE TO BURGLARS AND
OTHERS.
Whereas, Sir William Marston, hav-
ing gone to great expense in the build
ing of his new mansion, "Fallow Hill"
is desirous of ascertaining whether it
be burglar proof or not, and with that
object has placed in his writing-table
drawer the sum of FIVE hundred pounds
And whosoever shall, with the ordina-
ry appliances of burglar, contrive to
abstract the said five hundred pounds
authom being caught in the act, shall be
permitted to enjoy the same, on condi-
ton that he write to the said Sir Will
liam Marston and fully inform him how
he did succeed in abstracting the same;
and be it known, no steps shall be taken
to recover the money or bring the Of
fender to justice. But if the burglar
be caught, he shall be bound to state
how he entered the premises aud how
he proposed abstracting the money,
and then he shall be permitted to de-
part.
A week passed, and Sir William was
getting in servants for his establish
ment, buying furniture, horses and car
riages, and all the paraphernalia nee
essary for the comfort of a mansion
Still there came no answer to his ex-
traordinary advertisement. AT last a
thought struck him. He put the ad-
vertisement in again, adding that "no
extraordinary precautions would be
taken to preserve the house from being
broken into"
The next day Sir William was sit
ting IN the small room adjoining his

Every Man in his Own House

In this country there is no working
man, be he ever so poor and humble,
who may not, if he will, better his con-
dition with each succeeding year. To
do this, he must correct the habit of
spending every week the full weeks
earnings He must begin by saving
little instead of spending all. Half a
dollar will amount to twenty-six dol
lars year. In four years this saving
will give the sum of over hundred
dollars. In ten years, adding interest
to his savings, the poor man will be
able to buy little house. Ifhe saves
a dollar a week instead of half a dol
lar, he can have a house twice as
large; and larger still in proportion to
the weekly amount Of his savings.
Who will not be householder? 1t is
what we waste, or spend in useless
self indulgence, that keeps US poor.

Crops in Virginia.
The Richmond Whig SAYS:

The Richmond Wing says:
From tidewater and the Piedmon
districts, the accounts are uniform tha
the yield of wheat is far below what
was expected from the straw. II
most cases, it is said, the yield is not
more than half of what was anticipated.
The result is owing TO the heavy rains
when the wheat was in bloom.
From beyond the Ridge there are
some complaints, though the accounts
are more favorable than on this side.
AS to the corn crop the prospect is,
IN the main, promising. This is the

1nately, owing to the long continued

oR MUseU1Tos.-Who that has ever
tormented with musquitos will ap-
eiate the situation of an undertaken
town Sunday night. He was
he habit of smearing his face and
4 Ids with coal oil previous to retiring,
and thus grimly and odorously bid de-
fiance to the tormentors. Feeling, Sun
day night, that previous smearings
would be insufficient, he arose at a
late hour and generously spread over
his face and hands the delightful fluid.
In the morning his wife awakened him
with a scream. She saw black man
beside her. He jumped out, ran to the
glass, and was Mortified to find that
be had used the contents of an ink
bottle on his face and hands, instead of
coal oil. Imagination did the desired
work-he was annoyed none that night
with his tormentors. Use ink if you
prefer it.-LeuisvaRs Courier.
