to many who have attained to the age of ma ma,

some things with which st. Nicholas is so pro-

n ioy.inspiring sound which is never heard
but it thrills the whole being with an ecstacy
of delight. Old and young. white and colored,
people of all conditions, ages, sexes, and Sizes
look forward to the annual return of that day
with none but the most rleasurable emotions,
and hail its advent with feelings of the most
intense aud unauthorized joy.

VALLEY STAGE L1NE.-The stage line be-
tween Staunton aud Harrisonburg, we learn
from the Valley Hirginian, has passed from
tho proprietorship and control of ]. l. A.

ment of Col. A. W. Hartman. Stages will
leave Stauuton each day at o'clock in the
morning, aud 5 o'clock in the evening for
Harrisonburg and the latter place at @ o'clock
in the morning and in the evening for Stnun-
ton. This arrangement will accommodate pas,
sengers at either place arriving on the cars,
and who may wish to proceed on their journey
uninterrupted, and also those who may desire
to travel through this portion of the Valley by
daylight. The experience COL H. has had
in this line of business, and his known energy
and public spirit, are sufficient guarantees that
this route of travel will present all the accom-,
modations the most exactiug could desire.

Send for the Doctor when Sick.

IL is of the first Importance, in all
cases of sickness, to ascertain what
is the matter. If every disease had
but one symptom, which was pecu-
liar to it, then it might be we'll to
teach the public what symptoms
meant; but so far from this being
the case, almost every disease has 4
q variety of symptoms, most Of them
symptoms in common with several
other ailments. Hence only an edu-
Gated and experienced physician can
decide with reasonable certainty
what any set of symptoms indicates
to commit an error here, and advise
q remedy, may be the death of the
patient. 1t is then most unwise for
unproiessional persons to be studying
symptoms, and to prescribe for them
is actually dangerous.
Every man ought to have his fam
lly physician, just as every man has
his lawyer, his tailor, or bis cobbler.
Don't be feeling about ia the dark.
and imagine this, that, and the other
is the matter; relieve yourself of
painful uncertainties and burdenipa
responsibilities, by consulting YOUR
medical adviser, when you have any
persistent troublesome sensation.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1870-07-19

For the multitude of little symp-
toms which now and then present
themselves, the best plan is to eat a
little less for day or two, take some
recreation in the country, or extra
rest and sleep and warmth ut home
and in multitudes Of cases the svmp-
toms will promptly abate and finally
disappear altogether. Buff, in spite
of rest and warmth and quiet. the
symptoms remain unchanged except
for the worse, then promptly advise
with your physician and take moth
ing except by his direction. If you
do not attempt to mend your watch
or even an old shoe, surely the body,
so valuable to you and so delicately
framed, should be put in skilIful
hands when repairs are needed

The Condition of Mormon Women.

Although the men are educated
thoroughly, especially upon points
likely to affect the spread of their
belief, the women are left in ute /
and complete ignorance. In all the
many houses, even of the highest oil
the land, to which we afterward had
access, VIC saw scarcely book save
those of Mormonism, and not single
paper or magazine. We spoke OF
the topics eff the day both at home
and abroad, and met with entire
darkness none Of them had any
idea Of what we were talking about
Then, before girl had reached full
womanhood, while her ideas were
still uniformed and childish, she is
married, probably to a man old
enough to be her father. Take any
girl of fourteen or fiiteen-which il
common manageable age in Nor
mondom-even al educated girl, and
how able is she to form opinions and
right judgments? Then leave out
the education, and her abilities will
surely be at the minimum.
So, by these three levers do Nor
mon men, wise in their generation
act upon the hearts OF the women
around them First, by appealing
TO the religious element SO strong in
every woman next by keeping hei
in ignorance OF everything that might
show her the fallacy of the claims to
superiority of the men; and lastly
by throwing upon childish shoulders
burdens Of care, and weights of re
sponsibility, under which mature
womanhood must often faint. w,
arc reminded of him who pronounced
woe of old upon those who "binC
heavy burdens and grievous to b,
borne" and lay them upon others
shoulders.
The place occupied by q Mormon
wife in her husbands household i,
simply that of a servant, with fewer
privileges than has Jane the cook
or Lucy the waiter, in our domestic
economy. She has no "afternoor
out"--no wages to do as she will
with--no followers" and no chance
of change. But she has hard work
unrealizable in our comfortable hous.

master of the house when he chooses
to call upon her service and tn,

bears the cross of the present, th,
more beautiful will be the crown O
the future she hopes to wear.-Lip

Draining Poor Lands.

The fact has been often impressed
upon the minds Of farmers-and is
undoubtedly patent to all of them
that the draining Of all lands, and
especially of poor, swaInpy, it might
be said good for nothing lands, is
attended with most beneficial results.
AS an instance Of this, a farmer
writes to the American Institute
Farmers Club from Perry, Ohio,
that he has farm of 100 acres,
much Of which was under water hall
the year. Ho has made on it 1900
rods Of open bitches, varying in
depth from two TO three and a half
feet wide at tho top. llo then goes

Drinking in America : The soberest
Race uEder the Sun.

Mr.. Justin McCarty in recent
article, speaking of the convivial
habits of the Americans, says:
81 did not find American men In
general convivial personages. | do
not find that eating and drinking are
regarded as means of social enjoy
ment here, in anything like the fash
ion Of the old country. Tie 'perpen-
dicular' system of drinking, which
Dickens speaks Of, is surely the most
cherries and unsocial form of pota-
ton known to mortal being. Every
one, American and other, assures me
that there is u great deal Of drinking
in these Northern States. Perhaps
80; but as in this paper am giving
only my own impressions, right or
wrong, for just what they are worth
l must say that, so far as my obser-
vation goes, Americans are the So
berest race Of men under the sun.
No Englishman who is not a teeto-
taller ever dreams of dining without
glass of wine or ale. Mr.. Parton's
question about the probable potations
OF the coming man would in England
seem almost as absurd as if he were
to speculate on the problem whether
the coming man will wear clothes.
Here, so far as have seen, the habit
is to accompany dinner with nothing
but ice-water, unless when set and
formal dinner party is given. Look
around the dining-hall of any London
hotel or restaurant-so many dinners,
so many glasses of wine, or stout, or
ale. Look round the dining-hall of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York
the Parker House, Boston Continen-
tai, Philadelphia the Sherman House,
Chicago ; the Russell House, Detroit
the Cosmopolitan Hotel, San Fran
cisco--auywhere, everywhere, you
will find the iee-water the rule, the
wine or beer the rare exception. =

most as strange rs immoderate drink

tendency in these Northern States
seems to be toward the erection Of
teetotalism into q virtue-that is to
say, into something indispensable,
uDquestionablo, on the need of which
no controversy can arise, something
like chastity or truth. / talked
lately with q New England clergy
man on this subject, and, endeavoring
in feeble way 20 plead the cause Of
moderation, ! asked him if he had
not observed during bis travels in
Germany, that decent, well educated
men and their wives sat pleasantly
together in til 'ir beer gardens, and
slipped their beer, and that no excess
came of it. He said he had seen such
things, and had not observed any
excess; but he assured me, in all
earnestness, that the sight of mar
ried pair drinking beer together, TO
him, was disgusting and revolving
like the sight of a husband and wife
committing crime together. Doubt
less, this was a teetOtal profession of
an extreme kind /; but the tendency
of the moral code in the Northern
States seems TO me to lead in that
direction"

Marvels of Memory.

The following examples of the
marvels of memory would seem en-
tirely incredible had they not been
given to US upon the highest author
ity:
Cyrus knew the name of each sol
der in his army. 1t is also related
OF Themistocles that he could call by
name every citizen of Athens, al
though the number amounted to 20
600. Mithridates, King of Pontus,
knew all his $4,000 soldiers by their
right names. Scipio knew all the
inhabitants of Rome. Seneca com.
planned of old age because he could
not as formerly repeat 1000 names
in the order in which they were
read to him and he stated that on
one occasion, when at his studies
200 unconnected verses having been
recited by the different pupils Of his
preceptor, he repeated them in re-
versed order, proceeding from the
last to the first.
Lord Granville could repeat, from
beginning to end, the New Tesla
ment in the original Greek. Cooke
the tragedian, is said to have com.
mitted to memory all the contents Of
a large daily newspaper. Racine
could recite all the tragedies of Euri-
pides.
1t is said that George III. never
forgot face he had once seen nor a
name he had ever heard. Mirandola
would commit to memory the con.
tents of a book by reading it three
times, and could frequently repeat
the words backward rs we'll as for.
ward. Thomas Cranmer committed
to memory in three months an en-.
tire translation of the Bible. Euler,
the mathematician, could repeat the
Eceid and Leibnitz, when an old
man, could recite the whole of Yir-
gil word for word.
it is said that Bossuet could repeat
not only the whole Bible, but all of
Homer, Virgil and Horace, besides
many other works.
Mozart had wonderful memory
of muical sounds. When only four
teen years of age he went to Rome
to assist in the solemnities of HOLY
Week. Immediately after his arri-
val he went to the Sistine Chapel TO
hear the famous Niserere of Ailegri.
Being aware that it was forbidden
to take or give copy of this renown-
ed piece Of music, Mozart placed
himself in corner, and gave the
strictest attention to the music. and
on leaving the church noted down
the entire piece. A few DAYS after
ward be heard it second time. and
following the music with his own
copy in his hand, satisfied himself of
the fidelity of his memory. The
next day ne sung the Miserere at a
concert, accompanying himself on
the harpsichord, and the perform
ance produced such sensation in
Rome that Pope Clement XIV. re-
quested that this musical prodigy
should be presented to him at once
