Don't Tnmpcr With n Courb.

Perhaps in the whole category of disease
which humanity is susceptible, the cough is
most neglected in its early.Stago, A simple
cough is generally regarded as temporary af-
fiction-unplcasant and nothing more; but to
those who have paid dearly for experience, it
is the signal for attack for the most fearful of
all diScascs-Consumption A cough will lead
to Consumption If not chccked-so sure as the
riyulet leads to the river; yet it is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.
Aliens Lung Bolsam is the great cough remedy
ofthe age, and it has earned its reputation by
mort alone.

last Wednesday under the auspicies Of Sam,

LITTLE TuoKNs,-The sweetest,
the most clinging affection is often
shaken by the slightest breath Of un,
Kindness, as the delicate rings and
tcndrils Of the vine are agitated by
the faintest air that blows In sum

loved often draws blood from many
a heart which would defy the bat
tle-ake ofhatred, or the keonest edge
of vindictivo satire. Nay, the shade
the gloom of the face familiar and
dear, awakeDs grief and pain. These
are the little thorns, which, though

Word 10 Mothers.

"Dear mother" said q delicate lie,
tie girl, II have broken your ohin0
vase"
"Well, you are a naughty, careless
troublesome little thing-alWays IN
some mischief; 20 up stairs and stay
in the closet till ! send for you"
And this was a Christian mothers
answer to the fearful little .culprit,
who had struggled and conquered
the temptation to tell a alseh0od to
screen her faults. With q disap-
pointed, disheartened look, the child
obeyed, and at that moment was
| crushedin her little heart the sweet
flower of truth, perhaps never again
in after years to be revived to life.
D, what were the loss Of a thousand
vases In c%omparisonp
Tis true, an angel might shrink
from the responsibilities Of a moth
or. 1t does not need an angels pow
ers. The watch must never for an
instant be let up the scales of JUS
tice must always DO nicely balanced
the hasty word that the over-tasked
spirit sends to the lip, must die there
ere 1t Is uttered. The timid and sem
sitive child must have q word Of en-
couragement In season, tho forward
and presuming, checked with gentle
irmness; there must be no decep-
ton, no evasion. no triekery, for the
keen eye Of childhood to mark, and
all this, when the exhausted frame
sinks with ceaseleSs vigils, parhaps,
and the thousand petty Interruptions
and unlooked-tor annoyances Of ev-
cry hour, almost set at defiance tiny
attempt at system. Still must that
mother wear an unrufied brow, Hest
the smiling cherub on her knee catch
the angry frown /; still must she "rule
her own spirit" lest the boy SO ap-
parently engrossed with his toys, re-
peat the next moment an impatient
word he has caught. For all these
duties, faithfully and conscientiously
performed, a mothers reward is in
secret and in silence. Even him on
whose earthly breast she leans, is too
often unmindnll of the n~oiseless
struggle-till too late, alas, he learns
to value the delicate hand that has
kept in untiring motion the thousand
springs of his domestic happiness.
But-what, if In the task that de-
wolves on the mother, she utterly
fails? What if she be mother but in
name? What if she consider her
duty performed when her child is
fed, and warmed and clothed ?
What ifthc priceless soul be left to
chance training Of hirelingsY What
if she never teaches those little lips
to lisp Our Father! What if she
launch her child on life's stormy sea
without a ruddcr, or compass or
chart! God forbid there be any
such mothers.

Steam and Progress In Agriculture.

In agriculture, as elsewhere, the
steam engine is gradually but GER
tainly effecting a mighty revolution.
The grand leading features of the
scientific cultivation of the country
the collection and store of our
ample grain supply, the arrangement
OF a good system Of irrigation and of
drainage, the general utilization of
sewerage, the DELEGATION, banking
and stocking of our rivers, and the
systematic provision of artificial
methods for drying the ingatherings
of a wet August and September
have been little more than indicated,
and chiefly in our own columns.
But the spreading use of steam
plows, the application OF ingenious
modes Of econoUizing labor, the in.
creased cleansing of land, the re.
moval of weeds, even to the loss of
the picturesque beauty Of the scarlet
c~hequcring of our corn-felds by the
poppy the economy of time, no less
than of cost In blowing, in sowing,
in reaping, in stacking, and in thrcsh-
ing the extension Of new and lu.
crativc crops, as that of beet (Which
III France produced a return of
I9,OOO,WO sterling in the year 1869
The economy of seed, and the selec-
ton of the better qualities Of grain
for production-all these improve
ments are silently making way. A
sum fully equal 10 the national cx-
penditure might, within a few years,
be freely addedto the annual income
OF those who live Oh and by land, by
the free employment of available
means.-BHlder.

Don't Sell the Calves.

Too many farmers are tempted
into selling their calves and young
StocE when some butcher or dealer
Com"s along and offers them a fail
prlC".
This Is poor economy. Farmers
should remember, rs wo haye re.
married. in relation to milk Cows in
another place, that all animals used
for food and raised upon the farm,
should be regarded simply In the
light of machines for governing grain
and grass into money. This is one
Of the fundamental principles of good
farming.
Evory farm needs Just as many Of
theso machines as It can possibly
support and there is ccarcely a limit
to tho amount Of stock an indus
triouC, go-ahead, pushing farmer can
keep upon q quarter section of land

(and they are by no means few,
where the range is almost unlimited,
Then we advise the farmer to 70.
sist al fancy prices for his calves,
build up a herd, start the moving
machine early and keep it moving
late Save your corn fodder and
straw and raise more vegetables,
Economy in saving feed will enable
you to raise and Keep more stock
and If there is profit In ten calves
there is more in fifty.
To less extent, the same is true
of hogs; but it is easier to Over.

A SAILING FACE AND A KIND
HEART.-Which will you do-smile,
and make your household happy, or
be grabbed, and make all those young
ones gloomy and the elder mes mis-
cradle? The amount OF happiness
you can produce is incalculaDle il
you show asmiling face, a kind heart,
and speak pleasant words. Wear a
pleasant countenance let joy beam
In your eyes, and love glow on
your forehead. There is no Joy like
that which springs from a kind act
Or a pleasant deed; and you win feel
II at night when you rest, at morning
when you rise, and through the day
when you are about your business.

OPIUM.--We see it stated that the
British Government In India derives
from the opium trade an income
amounting to $40,0OO,OO0 per annum.
AS this is only a per cent on the value
of the drug, we a reasonably con-
clnde that the opium trade is q gigan-
tic business. After dcducting q rea-
sonable amount of the drug for me-
dicinal purposes, the balance, which
is used BY the opium eater or smoker,
is something frightful. This vice is on
the Increase among civilized nations.
It is fast rivaling in the number Of
its victims aud its disastrous results
the triumphs Of alcohol. The income
the Government of India derives from
ii is a very handsome affair. PeO-
pies vices pay to the Government a
better revenue than their virtues.

Remedy for Cancer.

Colonel UsScry, of De Soto, Lou
isiana, says he fully tested a remedy
for this troublesome disease, recom-
mCnded TO him by a Spanish woman,
anatiye of the country. The remedy
is this; Take an egg and break ii,
pour out the white retaining tho
yOlk in the shell, put in salt and mix
with the yOlk as long as ii will receive
il; STIR them togther until the salve is
formed; put q portion of this oil a
piece of sticking plaster, and apply
to the cancer about twice a day. lie
tried the remedy twice in his own
family with entire success. 1t has
also been tried In two cases in
Rhode Island, with perfect success.
Such a remedy is within the reach OF
every one, and should be known to
the whole world.

LIVING BEYOND THEIR MEANS
BulweT says poverty is only an idea,
In nine cases out of ten. Some men,
with 500, GOO a year, suffer more for
want Of means than others with $500.
The reason is, the richer man has ar
tiiieial wants. His income is $40, 900
a year, he suffers enough for being
dunned for unpaid debts to kill a
sensitive man. A man who earns a
dollar a day, and does not 90 in debt,
Is the happier Of the two. Very few
people who have never been rich will
believe this: but it is true. There
are thousands and thousands with
prircely incomes, who never know a
minutes peace because they live be-
You'd their means. There is really
more happiness among the WORKING
men In tho world than among those
who are called rich.

FEARFUL STORM oNTHE PLAINS.

The Denver (Col. Times says;
"From a letter received by Mr..
Samuel Heller Yesterday from our
felldn -eitizea Samuel Schneider we
are enabled tolay before the read
ers Of the Times the following;
"Thc express train on the Kan
sas Pacific which left Denver on
Wednesday last, encountered a
heavy snow-storm on Friday be-
tween Carson and Fort Ellis. The
storm continued to increase in pow
orsand-the snow drifts accumulated
10 rapidly thatby night the train was
completely showed in. The storm
increased to a hurricane, telegraph
poles were blown down and hurled
across lhe track for.miles,, tho wire
becoming entangled in the machin-
cry and the wheels of the cars
The engineer and fremcn were
driven from their POSTS by the in
tense cold, while hundreds of buffa-
10 congregated around the cars seek.
ing shelter from the hurricane.
"The train left Carson at $40 on
Friday morning, but on arriving at
Monument, one hundred miles east
ward, the telegraph announced the
awful news that Carson had caught
fire and was burning up in the gale.
The town is built entirely Of wood,
and is piled full of goods in transit
for New Mexico. The wires blown
down soon after this dispatch wasre-
hence no news has since
been received from Carson. ~ s. 3
sSrhe western-bound express ar
rived in the snow-drifts on Sunday
morning and was unable to go far
Their. AT Sunday moon the drifts
were higher than the tops Of the
cars. All tho train has been aban-
doned excepting sone Pullman car
BY hard pushing and digging the
train was able to move a little on
and reach little shanty on
the plains, where some food was OBJ
tanned. We expect to reach Saline
on Sunday night, We make about
twenty miles per day by digging
and pushing the snow"

HOW TO SUCCEED.

President Porter, of Yale College,
recently gave to his students a COM
pendulum Of advice, which has rarely
been surpassed for comprehensive
breyity. He said:
Young men, you are the archi-
tects Of your own fortunes. Rely
upon your own strength Of body and
soul. Take for your star, self-rc-
lance, faith, honesty, and industry.
Inscribc on your banner "Luck is a
fool, Pluck is hero" Don't take
too much advice; keep at your helm
and steer your own ship, and re-
member that the great art of com
manding is take a fair share Of the
work. Don't practice too much hui
manity. Think well OF yourself
Strike out Assume your own posi-
ton. Put potatoes in your cart over a
rough road, and small ones go to the
bottom. Rise above the envious and
jealous. Fire above the mark you
intend to hit. Energy, invincible
determination, with a right motive,
are the levers that move the world.
Don't drink. Don't chew. Don't
smoke, Don't swear. Don't de-
ceivc. Don't marry until you can
support wife. BE in earnest. BE
seIf-reliant. BE generous. Be civ
il. Read the papers, Advertise
your business. Make money and
do good with it. Love your God
and teilow-man. Love truth and
virtue. Love your country and
obey its laws" If this advice is
implicitly followed by the young
men of.:thc country, the millennium is
near at hand.

Men leave riches either to thei

Men leave riches either to their
kindred or to the public, and moder-
ate portions prosper in both. A
great estate left to an heir, is lure
to all the birds of prey round about
to seize on him, if he be not the bet
ter established in years and judg-
ment; likewise glorious gifts and
foundations are like sacrifices with
out salt and but the painted sepul-
chres, of aims, which soon will cor
rupt inwardly. Therefore measure
not thine advancements by quantity,
but frame them by measure, and de-
fer not charities till death; for, GER
tainly, ia man weigh it rightly, he
that doth so is rather liberal OF
another mans than his own.-Ba-
