PITTsBUaGH FEMALE COLLEGE. = The
Presbyterian Bqnner says: As the time is
at hand when parents are beginning to in
quire for suitable schools for their daughters
for the coming year, we can scarcely render
them better service than by calling their
attention to the advertisement of the Pitts
burgh Female College. An experience of
sixteen years has given the officers of that
institution the practical knowledge so essen
tial to full success, and of much value to
the pupils. ard placed the College in the
very front rank of American educational
institutions. The buildings, recently en-
larged, and reftted in handsome style, are
among the finest for the purpose in the
country. The location is quiet and retired,
and yet within few minutes walk of the

OUR exchanges nearly every week, notice
some victim of patent right vcGders, cspec-
ially among farmers. The safest plan, when
approached by one of these gentry, is to
give him abrupt orders to go-and stay
gone. Or if you cannot get rid Of him
without making a bargain, pay him at once,
take a -cceipt in full, but never, under any
circumstances, sign a note. If you do, look
out for its return in an unexpected shape.
y RoEBEEY.-On Thursday night last,
some william, or williams, who had no fear of
tiod or man before their eyes, cut out
window glass, at Showers grocery store, and
appropriated divers articles to their use
without the consent of the owner The
thieves secured about six dollars in change
that was in the money drawer, two bottles
OF brandy peaches, half dozen cans of cove
oysters, three prize boxes of candies, and
perhaps few other articles. Pity that the
scamps cannot be discovered and punished
as they deserve.

cubs. Mr. B's dogs at once grappled with
the bear, but after severe fight was forced
t. give up the contest. The bear then rear
Cd on Its hind legs, when Mr.. B. shot it
dead. Rruin measured seven feet in length,
and evidently was an old resident and often

II We had but know n, if We had but known,
Those summer days together,
That one would stand next year alone,
In the blazing July weather
Why, We trhed away the golden July hours,
with gladness, and beauty, and calm,
Watching the glory Of blossoming flowers,
Breathing the warm airs balm;
Seeing the children ike sunbeams play,
In the glades Of the long cool wood
Hearing wild birds carol gay,
And the song Of the murmuring food.
Rich gems 70 Times pitiless river thrown.
II we had but known, If we had but known
II we had but known, if We had but known,
Those winter nights together,
How one would Thy the hearth alone,
In the next December weather
Why, VIC sped those last hours, each for each
With music and games, and talk
The careless, bright, delicious speech
With 70 doubt or fear 20 baulk
Touching on all things, grave and gay,
With the freedom Of two in one,
Yet leaving, as happy people may
SO much unsaid, undOne.
Al, priceless hours forever flown,
If we had but known, ii we had but knOwni
II we had but known, IL we had but known,
While yet we stood together.
HeW tboughtless look, sighting tone,
Would sting and jar forever
Cold lies the turf for the burning kiss,
The cross stands deaf to cries,
Dull as the wall Of silence is,
Are the gray unanswerng skiesl
We can never unsay a thing we said,
While weary life drags part,
We can never stanch the wound we blad,
Whore a chance stroke struck IL last.
Oh, the patient love meath the heavy stone,
five had but known If we had but known
II we had but known II we had but known,
We had climbed the hill together,
The path before us seemed all our own,
And the glorious autumn weather.
We had SOW n the harvest was there TO reap;
We had worked 10 the wages ready.
Who was TO guess that the last long sleep
Was closing round one already,
With no'era warning, sharp and strong,
Came tho bitter wrench Of doom,
And love, and sorrow, and yearning, long
May wall 10 the lonely tomb.
Oh, keenest Of pangs mid the mourner's moan,
FIVE had but known, II we had but known!

Home Enterprise.

We copy the following sensible re-
marks from an exchange
Now that the busy season is rapidly
coming on we wish to remind our
readers Of their duty 20 patronize
and sustain home institutions and ell
tcrprises in preference to any abroad.
1t Is certainly the duty of every cit
izen who desires TO see home institu-
tions prosper aud TO increase the
wealth and importance of the com
munity in which he lives, to patron
ize the local dealers and business
men generally to buy at home when
he can get what he wants and by so
doing he can always get what he
wants at home, for business men are
quick to detect the demands of the
market, and are always ready and
willing to supply the demand if the
patronage will at all justify it. Re-
member, that when you spend your
money elsewhere for dry goods, gro
ceries, clothing implements, etc., the
money is invested elsewhere, out OF
the county ard never gets back, but
when you patronize your local mer-
chant and dealers the money stays
here, is invested hero, and assists n
the general local iAprovement. Ii
il is urged that goods can be bought
cheaper abroad. we answer that the
way to remedy this is to purchase at
home and as the business is increas-
ed and the dealers make large sales
they can afford to sell for smaller
profits.
If you get your work done al
home our mechanics and manufaC.
tdrcrs arc encouraged to increase
their facilities for doing work and
can the more successfully compete
with foreign enterprise in the con
struction aud sale OF the various
manufactured articles. We are all
dependent upon each other, and in
community the size of ours this l;
particularly the case, and if any one
neglccts to.patronize his home trade
or manufactures when he may do so
he has no right to expect or ask pat
ronage from his fellow citizens
Money expended elsewhere indirect
ly affects every citizen and property
holder in the community, and 1t If
time our citizens wero waking up tc
this fact. We have thorough and ex'
perienced business men In our midst
who are anxious to supply every ar
ticle that there may be demand for
and we have skilled mechanics and
manufacturers who are able to sup.
ply our people with almost every
kind of work they are in need OF, and
the greater the demand made upon
their skill the greater will be their
facilities for furnishing work in the
various branches.
Finally we urge upon all the i'm
portance of patronizing home enter
prises, don't go abroad with your
money, but invest it at home, that i
may assist In building up our home
institutions, identifying our city anC
adding such attractions as shall in
duco men of wealth and enterprise (
come among us aad contribute e
the general prosperity We don
charge that our citizens are largely
addicted to this practice although
many still go abroad to get theil
purchases, but we are glad that The
number is leaseniDg each year, anc
hope the time is not far distant wher
our local dealers and manufacturers
will have the benefit of the entire
local support and trade,

ne The authorship Of the letters

aea- The authorship of the letters
of "Junius" is no longer doubtful.
The riddle OF the Sphinx has been
guessed at last. 1t has long been the
prevailing opinion that Sir Philip
Francis wrote those famous papers,
famous alike for their intrinsic mer-
its and the added charm Of orphan
age. What was probable has been
rendered certain, in the judgment of
the two chief experts of London, in
the naturalization of hand writing.
The manuscript which removed the
last shade Of doubt is one hundred
years old, and consists of a scrap in
a young lady's love correspondence.
No name was signed, but it was in
the chirography of "Junius," and
satisfactory circumstantial evidence
fixes the authorship of the note up
on Sir Philip, then plain Mr.. Philip
Francis. 1t is the old story of Sam
son and Delilah over again, only
there was no connection whatever
between the design and result.

EA standing antidote for poison
by dew, poison oak, ivy, ETC., is to
take handful of quick lime, dissolve
in water, let it stand half an hour,
then paint the poisoned parts with
it. Three or four applications will
never fail to cure the most aggrava-
ted cases. Poison from, bees, hornets
spider bites, etc., is instantly arrested
by the application of equal parts OF
common salt and bicarbonate of soda,
well rubbed in on the place bitten or

Is THE BRAIN GALyANIC BAT
Terry Among the supposed facts
relied upon to prove that the animal
brain is battery, which can send
currents of electricity through the
nerves so as to act upon the muscles,
is an experiment referred to by Mr..
G. f. Marley, in late article, which
consists in connecting the two termi-
nails of q very sensitive galvanometer
with separate basins OF water. If a
hand be placed in each basin, and
one be squeezed violently, positive
current is said generally to flow from
that hand through the galvanometer
to the other hand, which is not COM
pressed. Mr.. Marley, however, after
various experiments, has come to the
conclusion that the phenomenon is
due to chemical action alone, the act
of squeezing the hand violently fore
ing some OF the perspiration out of
the pores. This is proved by the
fact that when both hands were
placed in the water, and little acid
was dropped on one of them, a cur
rent was generated without any
muscular exertion. Mr.. Marley found
nothing to show that electricity ex-
lists in the human body, either as a
source Of motive power or otherwise,
aud he considers the feeble electrici-
ty obtained from the muscles to be
due to the different chemical condi-
tions of different portions of the mus
cles themselves. As the force trans
mitted by the nerves is at rate
abont 100000 times slower than an
electric current, he infers that it can
not be an electric current itself
