Dcnr Sir In response to your
earnest inquiry after my health and
patient desire to know what has result
cd from your valuable medicine, "Ihc
Oil Of the Tree Of Lilc,' | am happy
to Inform you that its effect has been
astonis}insly hopeful. My son was
first suffering from very severe cough,
about the month Of February, 1870
which increased in magnitude and tor.
turc until about the month Of July
1871, when he was complete skeleton
and SO ttar(ully cmaciatcd that hope:
of his recovery were groundless In
the meantime the best physicians that
could be found were in attendance, and
doing him no good Finally, giving
him up as lost-beyond the aid Of med
ical skill gave heed to your request
that "The Oil Of Che Tree Of Life
might have Il test, in the face of SO sig
nal defeat, as physicians had acknowl
edg, q, and l procured a pint Of your
medicine. Forty-ciyht hours aftc: the
first dose, my son expcctorated (fron
six o'clock in the evening till five O'Clock
in the following morniAg) some tw,
quarts Of offensive lung matter or pus
and Immediately began to improve
still taking your mcdi inc. In ;
months time thcrcfrom, he went out u

Winter Evenings Snail we
Spend Them

The busy, working season of the yea,
is rapidly passing, and winter will soo,
be upon us, with its cold, short days
and long nights. In most cases tho
active industries Of life make but little
demand upon lis for evening labor. II
We have been temperate and frugal
enough has been laid up to supply our
wants, and VIC are at libcr,y to employ
ourselves in any manner which promi-
ses to yield the largest return Of legiti-
mate pleasure.
10 him who is blessed with a home
and family, there is no greater Aappt.
ness than may be derived from them.
The family relutiVn is the one which
gives rise to, and Inspires every other,
and the family is the grand center,
around which all human activities clus-
ter; to which all healthy human hopes
aspire ; and in which all HUMAN happi-
ness finds its goal. Here then is the
lap of our luxury; the garI:cn in which
to cultivavc our joys.
There is one grand element Of family
happiness which prcccdcs AL others,
and which none fail to recognize II is
family comf1rf. We may look in vain
for smiles and carosscs ia home where
there is hunger and cold. The fires Of
affection cannot long gleam out bright
ly from hearts filled with d;snnay.-
Then, first of all. if necessity compcls
it, our evenings should be occupied in
giving comfort to those who are Deepen
dent upon us. This duty We have as
sumed, and pledged ourselves to its
SACKED performance. Let US do it faith.
fully; ana the more faithfully, the
greater the happiness whleA it will af
ford.
We should, as rule, spend our even
ings at home. The gossip Of the bar
room has no elcvating tendencies; the
loungcrs at the grocery regalc each
other with profanity and obscene jcsts ;
while the liquor saloon and the card
table are but stopping places on the
" broad road." at which men dcnudc
themselves, first, of sclfrcspcct: then
Of sclf-control preliminary steps to a
more rapid progress in the way that
leads to destruction. The husband and
father should find his social pleasures
1T home. The wife aud children arc
entitled to his presence at the fresi1c
and he needs their influence to strength
Gu him for contact with the world.

Philosophy IN TR1rLEs.-Those
persons who cannot find pleasure in
trlfics are generally wise in their own
opinion, and fools in the opinion of the
wise. They neglect the opportunity Of
amusement, without which the rugged
road OF life would be unexpectedly te-
dious / think the French are the best
philosophers, who make the most they
can of the pleasures, and the least they
can of the pains: of life, and ever
strcwing flowers among the thorns all
mortals are obliged to walk through );
whereas by much reflection the English
contrive to feel and see the thorns
double, and never see the flowers at all,
but to dispisc them, expecting their
happiness from things more solid and
cndurablc, as they imagine but how
seldom do they find them !-Loiy Lue-

'EAs Result vi the Election.

Mr.. Wyckoff's election was the result:
Of local actio, It is a credit to him
that he could draw 50 largely upon the

The election Of Mr.. Page is a CON-

That party has been so completely rev.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
In our last issue, we had an oppor
tunity barrel y to mention the Mass Ten
pcrancc Convention Of the various
churches to be held at Owatonna on the
10th inst. We have long wished tina,
the churches would take hold of this
important subject en- mosxr. 1t rcjoiccs
us to see this realization Of our wishes
about to be fulfilled There is an
earnestncss il. this move which tells us
very plainly that it means 1usincss.-
We know many earnest Christian work,
ers who arc heart and hand iii this
move. Temperance people generally
are looking to this move with much
confidence in the great amount Of good
which it will accomplish. This action
on the part of the churches is destined
to rcvolutionizc the State. Let the
good work go on Every church and
every religious denomination shonld be
we'll represented in that convention
There is nothing expected from the
churches but what they arc abundant|y
able to accomplish, if they will be uni
ted in the work. We heartily approve
Of this step, and sincerely hope it nay
be accompanied with signal success
We shall try to be present on that &C.

DY CARRIE BELL SINCLAI.

Look lot m,urnfully back to the Past,
The Presents tho hour for duty,
And Lilc, be it ever SO dark,
Has moments Of sunshine an beauty,
Look up for the sun is still shining.
Although block cloud may be there;
Remember the bright silver lining
From under the cloud will appear.
Sit not with the hands idly folded
Zach one has duty to do.
And if Life has its struggles for others,
Why have only pleasures for you?
Seek not to pluck only the roses,
Faint not in the heat Of tho strife;
But put on the arlnor Of courage,
To fight in the battle OF Life.
Look round on tho highways, and gather
Not only the flowers so sweet,
But take up the stones that arc brusing
Some weary, worn travellers feet;
Seek out some cool spring in the desert,
And give to the lips that are dry
Speak a kind word of hope or Of comfort
To each sorrowing one who goes by.
Pluck thorn from some poor bleeding bosom
Make stonS somo faint heart for tho strife
Rouse up the weak feet that have fullcn--
All, this is tho mission of Life
Ask not if :hc world will applaud YOU
No matter since duty is done;
There's One who will better reward you
With the crown you have faithfully won
