The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1871-11-24

AN English writer has recently assert
ed that an undue proportion of lime in
the system is the cause of premature
gray hair, and advises us to avoid hard
water, either for drinking pure or when
converted into tea, coffee or soup, be-
cause hard water is always strongly inn
pregnated with lime. Hard water may
be softened by boiling it; let it become
cold, and then use it as beverage.

A LONDON correspondent writes as
follows: "There is no denying the fact
that the abominable misgovernment of
New York created an unfortunate pref
udice not only against financial projects
emanating from that quarter, but
against American securities generally.
Nobody knew how far the Tammany
thieves might carry their schemes Of
plumber, and there was decided reluc-
tance to risk money within their reach. !"

New Form Of Drunkenness.

The Lancet calls attention to the enor-
nous manufacture OF the new sedative
drug, chloral. 1t states that is sold by
tons week, and quotes letter from
Baron Liebeg affirming that one Ger
man chemist manufactures and sells
half ton every week. OF course, no
such quantity is used in medicine, and
the Lancet seems half afraid that it gets
into beer; but there is IA simpler ex-
PLANTATION, as it will find on inquiry.
Taking chloral is a new and popular
vice, particularly among women, and is
doing at least as much damage rs alco-
hol. The drug is kept in thousands of
dressing cases, and those who begin it's
use often grow so addicted to it that
they pass their lives in a sort of con-
tented stupefaction. Choral drunken.
ness will soon be an admitted variety Of
the species.-London Spectator.

SAYS the Gutenlaube: The Ameri.
cans understand better than we how to
give an appropriate covering to every
thing they use. Their medicines and
drugs, for example, are met with in all
quarters of the globe, not because they
are superior to ouls-God forbid, The
contrary is often the case-but because
their boxes and bottles are neatly in
closed and labeled, so that they consti-
tute an ornament for every drug store,
and are, at the same time, easily opened
and vet alright.

you have been to college, | suppose?"
" Yes, SIR" was the reply. " am
thankful" rejoined the former, that
the Lord opened my mouth without any
learning" "A similar event." retorted
the clergyman, "took place in Balaam's
time; but such things are of rare occur

it is therefore hereby

success. Daniel Webster once spent fifty dol
lars to obtain book which furnished him in
formation upon point of law. He won deli
cate case for his client and his fee was only fiji
teen dollars; but he mastered his case and gain
ed the power to win larger and more import
ant cause, in which the same principle was in
volved.
Another law of success is Perseverance, Com
plete whatever you undertake. 81 shall fight
it ont on this line if it takes all summer" Grant
wrote from the Wilderness. The practical ,al-
ue of this virtue was never better illustrated
than by this great captain who knew when to
strike and how to strike, A deed done out of
time loses half its value There is q time when
duty presents itself it should be met at once
Do thing with all your might; don't leave it
until it is completed; and if the education of
one day accomplishes this, it will be success.
Self improvement is duty that brings its re-
ward. The only safe and remunerative method
by which to work is attention. The most pro-
found and memorable law that underlies all eff
forts for success is truth. The throne of Napo-
leon III was falsehood France became bril-
liant and magnificent, but the power of the
false empire crumbled at touch. 1t is rather
what we are than what we have that constitutes
success. The address was eloquent in diction
and replete with illustrations, and was listened
to with close attention.

The CHICAGO CONFLAGRATION.-Mr.D ID. L.
Moody, of Chicago the "Revivalist," presented
the claims of his Mission Church and Sunday
school, which was destroyed in the disastrous
confagration, to|a very large and interested au-
dience at High street church last evening.
After Prof. Bliss had entertained the audi
ence with several spirited songs Mr. Moody
commenced his address by reading chapter
from the Book of Deuteronomy, which he con-
sidered as applicable to the condition of Chica-
go before the fire. He then alluded to the wick
edness of the great city, and stated that he
considered the fire to have been Judgment
from God. A graphic description of the pro-
gress of the terrible conhagration, from the time
of the first alarm to the end of those DAYS of
terror, illustrated by numerous touching and
pathetic incidents, was then given, conveying
much valuable information. One blessing of
the fire. was the destruction of large number
of drinking saloons and houses of prostitution,
which the speaker watched with the utmost
satisfaction, and even smiled amid the scene of
chaos and ruin. "A detailed statement of the
mission work done by Mr. Moody and his
church, which each Sabbath reached nearly
four thousand souls with spiritual influence
was presented, in connection with many inter
esting anecdotes in relation to the same. The
generous benevolence of the country at large in
responding so promptly to the appeal of the
destitute and suffering was remembered, and
the joy with which these contributions were re-
ceived, was fully described. Already over six
thousand temporary buildings have been erect
ed, and it is the intention to erect temporary
chapels in which the worship of God can be
continued without interruption. In CLOSING
the speaker made an urgent appeal for aid to
enable his mission work to be continued, and
his chapel to be rebuilt, and be the means of
saving souls AT the close of the address, col
lection was taken to aid the proposed work.
Mr.. Moody will preach at the same place this
evening at II clock, and prayer meeting
will be held at the vestry in the afternoon.
