We soon shall sleep-all alone
on our bed or couch, with no liv
ing person in the room 1t will
be dark, but we can close our eyes
and still see with the mind a thou
sand pictures the day left for US to
look at or forget. We shall sleep
alone, with no one near, as we
have slept thousands of nights,
with never a fear of darkness or
dread for the morrow, which al
ways brings new labors, duties, and
pleasures.
And so it will be with Death,
which is not death. but the renew
al of life-the initiation to higher
degrees. AS we can look upon a
garment thrown by few moments
since, so will we be able to look
upon our body while it is being
consigned to the earth to await
that decomposition which will
change and purify it, as death will
change and purify us all.
Once, years ago, we occupied a
room for several months We
lived there-worked there-were
happy and sad there, as certain
influence rested upon US. We did
not care to move out, SO many
things there were to our liking.
One night there was an alarm of
fire. Often had we heard the
alarm before, and wakened to see
the homes Of our neighbors being
consumed. But this time it was
our home that was going. The
room was filed with smoke. The
darkness was so thick we could
feel it. We tried to find door,
cut could not. We tried to find a
window, but in vain. We tried to
call out but could not. The agony
OF the moment was terrible Who
would care for those who were
dear to US
Then came a glare and glimmer
of light we saw where the window
was-then the door.
A blow with our fst-a kick,
followed by few more, the door
was opened and we escaped. To
have remained there would have
been to have been consumed. And
SO, to not die is to cease to exist
by the renewal of life
Since that time Of danger we
have travelled thousands Of miles
seen other countries--utsered ed
words. made suggestions, erected
buildings. employed agents, plan
ned contests, and won victories.
The room we have now is better
than the one we saw consumed, as
our lives Over There will be better
and grander than here, if we but
make efforts, and try to have the m
SO, as we shall strive earnestly to
make ours better from this Satur-
day yNight.--sBRICK' PoMERoY.

The DRESS OF CHILDREN-The
Philadelphia Ledger gives the fol-
lowing good advice to mothers:
/" Now that the winter is ap-
preaching, it behooves parents
more than ever to see that their
children are clothed in such man
ner as to protect them from the in
clemancy and sudden changes of
the weather. The chief cause of
infantile mortality. in addition to
foul air, or too rich or too poor
food, is the false pride of many
mothers. Children are killed by
the manner in which they are dres-
sed as certainly as by any other
cause. In our changeable climate,
children of the most tender age
are left with bare arms and legs,
and with low necked dresses. The
mothers, in the same dress, would
shiver and suffer with cold, and
expect a fit of sickness as the re-
suit of their culpable carelessness.
And yet the mothers could endure
such a treatment with far lees dan
ger to health and life than their
tender idfants can. A moments
reflection will indicate the effects
of this mode OF dressing, or rather
want of dressing, on the child.
The moment the cold air stakes
it's arms and legs, the blood Is
driven from these extremities to
the internal and more vital organs.
The result is congestion, to erea-
ter or less extent, Of those organs.
It is painful to see children thus
dressed like victims for sacrifice.

LUNAR INFLUENCE ON VEGETA-
T1oN-According to North Car
olina correspondent, the influence
> of the moon on vegetation may be
determined by trying the following
experiment
"Take any given quantity of com
mon peas, and divide the same into
four parts, keeping them separate.
Then, on any ground at all fit for
vegetation, when the season ap-
proaches, SOW the contents of the
first parcel on the first or second
day Of the moon; the second parcel
sow near the same spot on the
first or second day Of the second
quarter; the third parcel SOW on
the second Or third day before the
full moon; and lastly, sow the
fourth parcel on the second or third
day before the moon is out
Now the first parcel, sown un-
der the new moon, will grow very
fast, blossom most beautifully, but
will not bear much fruit; the sec.
ond will blossom and bear very lit
tie; the third parcel will not only
blossom beautifully, but will bear
fruit in abundance; and the fourth
and last parcel will scarcely rise
from the ground. Likewise all
fruit trees set at the new moon
blossom, but three days before the
full moon, bear abundantly. In
pruning trees, the same effect takes
place, for a tree pruned at the new
| moon will shoot forth new branch>
es, but will prove unproductive,
but if pruned at the full, it will
bear abundsntly

The reports from the Otoes and

The people are improving and the
schools prosperous. The school
children who are learning the Eng
lish language fast have been cloth
ed, and the aged and infirm are
supplied with necessaries by the
Society of Friends Of Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting. The establish

to their holding titles for their

The accounts from the Superin-
tendency show, that the labors Of
Friends thus far, have been bless
ed, and there is encouragement 20
hope, that as duties to these poor
people are opening wide field of
labor, Friends generally will ex-
tend their sympathy and aid in the
cause. Notwithstanding this great
improvement, there is great desti
tuition and suffering, particularly
among the sick. Hospitals, phys
icians and medicines are wanted.
Since our last report, a joint COM
mittee from several Yearly Meet
ings waited upon the President and
Congress, asking for aid for these
purposes, and a moderate sum was
appropriated, but insufficient for
their needs. The Committee re-
spectfully suggest to the Yearly
Meeting the propriety OF appropri-
ating the sum of three hundred
dollars for expenses, which it
seems needful to incur.
Friends find great need of vigil
ance as regards the interests Of
these poor oppressed people. De-
signing companies have induced
the Chiefs to make treaties in
Washington for the sale of lands
at prices vastly below their value.
The people Indignantly protest
against it, and Friends endeavor
to prevent the ratification of such
treaties. On all occasions of this
kind, as well as all others relating
to the welfare of the Indians, our
beloved Friend Benjamin Halo
well has long been an earnest and
indefatigable worker. He has
been willing to be spent in their
cause, and although at present, his
failing health is preventing him
from working with US, we are hop
ing that we may vet have the ben

Hollands German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ RUM, and favored in
such a manner that the extreme bitterness of
the Bitters is overcome, forming a prepara-
ton highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price of the Tonic is S1.50
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of a
pure quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay little more and have good article ?
medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best ingredients, and they who ex-
pect to obtain cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated.

The Gravel.

The gravel ensues from neglect or improp.

being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain it be-
comes fsverish, and sediment forms. 1t is
from this deposit that the stone is formed,
and gravel ensues.

TERMS:
THE KIDNEYS.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz : the
Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve deposit for
the urine and convey it to the exterior. The
exterior is conductor also, terminating in q
single tnbe, and called the Uterus. The ute
rus are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mu-
cous. The upper expels, the lower retains.
Many have desire to urinate without the
ability others urinate without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring in
to action the muscles, which are engag ged in
their various functions. If they are neglect
ed, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that
however slight may be the attack, it is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers,
as our flesh and blood are supported from
these sources.

ONE of the most horrible cases of hy-
drophobia ever recorded recently oc-
Cured at Ssugert;cs, N.Y. A Mr. VIM
B. Whitaker, an aged and much re-
spected citizen, died an agonizing death
from the bite of a rabid dog. 1t appears
that in March last Mr. Whitaker, while
playing with small deg belonging to
Moses Krohn, of Saugerties, was bitten
Just below the nail of the eforefnger OF the
left hand. The dog showed no symp-
tyns of hydrophobia, and nothing was
thought of it at the time, the wound soon
healing, Whitaker attending,as usual, to
his business. The other morning Whita.
ker complained Of pain in his left srm
and shoulders; it kept growing worse
every hour until in the evening when he
became rsbid, foaming at the mouth, grind
ing his teeth, swapping, snarling, growl-
ing and barking in the manner OF dogs,
until it was found necessary for the safe
ty of himself and others TO secure him.
So furious had he become that they were
obliged to call in the assistance of eight
strong men, who, with gloved hands, at
last succeeded in securely tying him to
his bed with ropes. IS .l9c
Mr.. Whitaker, during his illness, fully
realized the nature of his disease, and in
moments when free from paroxyisms
would piteously beg Of his friends to put
an end to his intense, eufferings, and
would tell them not to come near him for
fear he would do them harm. After three
days and two nights OF the greatest suffer-
ing, death came to his relief. E

l. Wonderful Safes

a STRANGER in Threadneedle street,
standing in the narrow thoroughfare,
shortly before 10 o'clock in the morning,
would have his curiosity aroused by the
number of well-dressed men whom he
would see entering q silversmith's shop,
and in few minutes reappearlng With
small Japan boxes under their arms. II
by chance it so happened that he was at
the same spot between 8, and O'Clock in
the evening he would probably observe
the same young men return to deposit the
same Japan boxes on the counter of the
same shop. The explanation is simple.
The boxes, which contain the unbsnked
securities and cash of merchants and bro.
kers, are locked up for the night in the
silversmith's 3 strong room, built IN an ex-
cayation of sand rock far below the sur.
face of the street, and upon which falls,
when closed up for the night, a consider
able flow of water. The merchants and
brokers pay rent for the use of this Sc
cure depository; and, acting no doubt
upon this idea, q Mr.. Streeter, an exten-
siYe jeweler, intends to give the wealthy
possessors of costly jewels the opportu-
nifty of using his "ChatWood SAFE" with
its hydro. pneumatic envelope snd patent
water-level gauge. This safe stands on
the floor of his shop, and is open to day
light. 1t rest upon foundation of many
details, and of sufficient solidity to sus-
tain more than ten times sixty tons, the
weight oft safe itself, which is encased
in concrete, embedded in which is a
water chamber connected with an
apparatus and air-tu6es to give
timely warning of sinister assaults.
Besides this security, the safe is bur
glar-proof, engineer proof, gunpowder-
proof, chemical proof, miner-proof, and
expert or dexterity- proof 1t cannot be
fused, melted, wedged, or bored, nor can
the lock of the door, which weighs six
tons, be picked or tampered with by the
most skilled manipulator without bring
ing down upon himself detector. The
key consists of four parts, each in the
possession of different persons, go that
danger is averted in that direction while,
supposing the whole key to be Lost, the
wards of the leck admit Of no fewer than
1000 variations, and new key could ba
made that would render the old one per.
fectly useless. Granting, however, the
possibility of successful breaking into
the safe. it would require 60 hours to &C
complish the feat; and as before stated
the first blow, nay, the merest scratch o.
the operator would at once be shown By
the index of the patent water gauge level
The inventor ia relieved of good deal o.
anxiety in the protection the safe affords
for his own valuable stock, and ALREADY
many wealthy clients have secured spac'
in it for the safe keeping Of their jewell
and title deeds.-LOadOn CscT. Boston O00a
