TIE Cow TEEE.-On the parched side
of rock on mountain in Venezuela
grows tree with dry leathery foliage, its
large woody roots scarcely penetrating into
the ground. For several months in the
year it's leaves are not moistened by a
shower-its branches look as if they weie
dead and withercd; but when the trunk is
bored, bland ard nourishing milk flows
from it. 1t at sunrise that the veget-
able fountain flows most freely. At that
time the blacks and natives may be seen
coming from all parts, provided with lar
/. bowls TO receive the milk. which yel-
ows and thiekens at its surface Some

THE PAssloNs.-The passions are in
morals what motion is in physics; the,
create. preserve aud animate, and without
them all would be silence and death. Av-
arice guides men across the deserts of the
ocean pride covers the earth with tro-
phies and mausoeums and pyramids; love
turns men from their savage rudeness
ambition shakes the very foundations of
kingdoms Bv the love of glory. weak
natiol swell into magnitude and strength.
Whatever there is of terrible, whatever
there is of beautiful in human events. all
that shakes the soul to and fro, and is re
membered while thought and flesh cling
tosether-all these have their origin from
the passions. As it is only in storms, and
when their coming waters are driven up
into the air, that we catch sight OF the
depths of the sea, it is only in the season
of perturbation that we have glimpse Of
the real internal nature Of man. 1t is
then only that the might of these erup-
tions, shaking his frame, dissipates all the
feeble coverings Of opinion, and rends in
pieces that cobweb veil wi, h which fashion
hides the feelings of the heart 1t is then
only that Nature speaks her genuine feel
ings and at the last night of Troy, when
Venus Ilumined the darkness, Kneas saw
the gods themselves at work, so may we,
when the blaze of passion is flung upon
mans nature, mark in him the signs of a
celestial origin, and tremble at the invisi
bic agents of God.

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
The Best Labor-Saving Clothes Cleaner
ever invented.
Thomas Greene, sole Proprietor of the
Patent Right for the Pacific Coast.

There arc but few inventions or discoveries
which produce a complete revolution in any de-
partment of labor. To have supposed, year ago,
that the dirtiest garment could be washed clean,
in twenty or thirty minutes, by boiling alone,
would have been regarded as an indication of in-
sanity But it has been demonstrated beyond any
doubt that this process not only cleans the clothes
but that garments thus washed become whittier and
clearer the longer it is used. Some people suggest
that clothes will get yellow after awhile. by being
washed in this way but such a suTpositon has no
foundation in fact, and is contradicted by tho ex-
pcrience of every lady who has adopted This mode
| of washing.
Everybody who has tried the machine in Shasta
have expressed themselves highly pleased with
its operations. 1t must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated, as its full merits cannot be properly set
| forth in ordinary advertisement
Public and private tests have been given of this
apparatus fur the last six months and more than a
million of people have wtnes-e ed its success. Ten
thousand boilers sold in New York City in less
| than five onths, from one stand and at this time
the orders reach about hundred a day. Nc
one used it as directed that did NOT recommend
it. 1t has been recommended by more than five
I thousand persons in less than six months. Among
the names those of the most distinguished cit
liens of the United States but the best rccommen-
datiun is to take the boiler and it yourself Do
just as you directed and you will be more than
satisfied 1t appeals to us all as matter Of econ
omy, and can be shown to be the best kind OF an
investment. 1t will return u yearly dividend in
cash of TWO HUNDRED PER CENT. on the
money invested. For instance, we will suppose
your white clothing such bed and table linen
ladies and gentiemens' wear, and childrcns cloth
ing only cost you $40 year. They will last twice
as long washei in this way as by the oid method.
Thus, you actually save $50 year by investing 10
| or 200 per cent. annually. There is no family
scarcely but spends more than here stated but this
is taken as very low average of this branch of
family expense. Added to this is the great con-
venience and comfort of the thing which, all aiken
together, makes it luxury which no family can
well afford to be without.
This Boiler sells the best of any article ever offer
ed to the public. Anybody after trying it fairly
will not let it go out of of the house.

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything won 90 widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through u long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted 20
milder forms of disease and TO young children it Is
ut the time the most enectual remedy that can
be given for incipicnt consumption and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject TO colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought in
curable stilbgreat numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CLet.ru I'ccfogaI. So complete is 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
toraI they subsidc 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 Pecforul in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here do
than assure the public that its qualities fully
maintained.

The clothes need not be wet before placing them
