EFFECTS OF THE WAR.-The local
ization of the conflict between France
and Germany possesses a military
significance. Governments which
have kept themselves out of the
shock of arms cannot deny their in
terest in the moral phases and re-
suits of the war which has closed in
the conquest of the Napoleons. In
this class the Government of the
United States deserves to be special
ly considered. 1t has lost nothing.
and gained immensely. Emigration
from Germany has been slightly
diminished, and comparatively few
Of our securities have been returned
by the foreign holders. The quick
sympathy of our people with Ger
many will be as quickly responded
to in more liberal contributions to
our population, and in more liberal
purchases of our bonds. Call these
selfish considerations if you please,
they are not the less substantial.
They show that gratitude between
nations, as between men, has often o
specific value of its own.

A NoRTH CAROLINA STRAIGHT DRINK
Some years since, when they were buildin'
the locks on Coal river, was over thar at
Peytona, an stopped in at DR.. Kellum's,
who physicked people in that quarter at
that time. Thar was a famine just then,
and great sufferin' among men, women and
children, for want of the necessaries of life.
Leastwise, it was about the same thing.
Thar was plenty of meat, an abundance of
corn, and no scarcity OF chicken; but the
rivers were dry, an whiskey ran entirely
short. Some prudent people laid in sufi-
cient stock, but the most had not. How to
bring up a family 'thout red eye was q
puzzler, and the suffering was enormous.
DR.. Kellum was in trouble too; he sym
pathized with his neighbors, but he had
half-barrel of 50 per cent. alcohol in his
Office, and as far as he was concerned, he
managed to fix up, with sugar, an water,
and gum, an ether, an SIGH truck, until he
made purity fair drink. Seem I was
friend of his. he invited me to sample it.
Wall, it kinder filled the room with smell,
an just then. man from the Mud river
country came in, on his way to Raleigh
Cote House He smelt the smell, an says !:
1--WE been nigh two days from home, an,
I'm almost starvin'." "Oh," says Kellum'
pointin' to the cask, that's it. Help your
self"
The chap frightened up, an be drawed
level tumberful of that alcohol, an afore
you could say, "Scat, you beast n down it
went fsfs5 -
Kellum he turned pale s,a
Says the man: 'tPm much obliged to you.
That's sarchin !" an he turned and walked
out
Kellum sot as if he'd been shot, an then
jumped up.
"That won't do" said he. THAT'S enough
to pizen crowd. I'll call him back and
give him an emeticn
We both went to the door. He wasn't in
sight, l run up to the creek, and Kellum he
run down to the road; but it wasn't of no
use.
II shouldn't WONDER" said Kellum, "ef
that chap hasn't gone an died somewhat by
himself. Thar'll be corpse found directly,
and krawner's inkquest an lots of trouble"
Well, we sot thar for about an hour talk
ing about the poor kuss's melancholy fate,
when all to onst in walked the chap himself,
as peert as wildcat.
"Doctor," says he, "I'm gwine long way
up the river, an licker's skeerce, an if it's
all the same to you. could you spar me an
other tumblerful? It's the most satisfyinest
Ticker ever drank"

The girdling of 300 apple and peach trees,
for the fifth time, in the Michigan fruit re-
gion, near Benton Harbor, has excited con-
siderable indignation and surprise at the
manner in which it has been done, and the
unaccountable motive of the act The pro-
perty had passed out of the possession of Mr.
Green to that of Mr. Hunter, who had not
yet arrived on the premises. and being a
total stranger there, could not be supposed
to have enemies, while its former owner,
Mr.. Green, is unaware of any circumstances
that would point to any perpetrator desir-
Gus Of injuring him. What complicatcs the
fendish act still more is the fact that it has
always been done at the same time of the
month, during moonlight nights, while a
vigilant watch has been keep up. The
old girdhngs, which were very
thorough. had healed nicely over, a
grating wax having been applied to them
and it is thought that the weather being ia
vorable, they will yet be saved, by similar
application of wax, a fact which it is well
for our horticulturists to know, it being gen
orally supposed that trees being completely
girdled are sure to die

Life Il tha an of cod

4 When we are sick this life Is obscured, under
cloud, oppressed with humos. Experience
has taught us certain means, which never fail for
their removal. The child receives with his lie
the seeds Of his death. 1t may take one, or one
hundred years, before the seeds bear their sad
fruit but just as sure as the seeds of death ripen,
life ceases. Purging is the grand safeguard, be-
cause then what fosters the seeds of death are
taken away, expelled from the body.
Govern Yourselves by Experience.
My child, aged five years, had scarlet fever,
and for five days had constant fever. BY order
of the doctor gave her syrup of rhubarb; she
took nearly pint, but her bowels continued
closed. On the fifth day the doctor said her
bowels must be opened or she would be lost. l
proposed Brandreth's Pills; to this be would
not concentrating she was too weak con-
suited my husband, and we concluded to give
her three pills. In about four hours they opera
ted, filling half full a common chamber. After
that operation the fever left Ter, and she rapidly
recovered. Reference, 206 Clcrmont Avenue,

WoMAN's MoDEsrY. Man loves the mys-
FERROUS. A cloudless sky, the full blown
rose, leaves him unmoved, but the violet
which hides its blushing beauties behind
the bush, and the moon when she energies
from beneath cloud, are TO him sources of
inspiration and pleasure. Modesty is to
merit what shade is to figure in painting
it gives it boldness and prominence. Moth
ing adds more to female beauty than mod
esty: it sheds around the countenance
halo of light, which is borrowed from vir-
tue. Botanists have given to the rosy hue
which tinges the cup of the white rose the
name OF "maiden blush.n This pure and
delicate hue is the only paint Christian vir-
gins should use: it is the richest ornament
A woman without modesty is like faded
flower diffusing an unwholesome odor,
which the prudent gardener will throw from
him. Her destiny is melancholy, for it ter
inmates in shame and repentance. Beauty
passes like the flower of the albo, which
blooms and dies in few hours, but modesty
gives the female character charms which
supply the place of the transitory freshness
of youth.
