Observation-Disclosures says there
are three kinds of dissipation in the
Worthwhile, red, and black. White
dissipation is the waste of nerve and
excessive use Of brain-that is, pious
dissipation, scholarly dissipation,
business dissipation, tho dissipation
OF men who, with salutary shudder,
thank God they are not as other
men are. Rcd dissipation is the
dissipation Of the increase Of blood
by luxurious food or the waste Of
blood by all those passiosn and indul-
gencos which come OF luxurious liv-
ing. Black dissipation is that of
grosser indulgences which criminal
men seek. He thinks that the first
named is increasing rapidly and taxi
ing the place of the lower grades.
The peculiar folly Of our age, no says,
is the waste Of nerve and force. The
diseases OF virtuous men are no long
or what they used TO be,-blood dis
eases. Good men are living too
fast.

prevents hens from laying also. We know
we have often experienced vast increase
in the number of eggs brought into the
house after the removal of a too officious
individual from our employ. Besides, our
cows have sometimes improved in produce
by the same means, but we generally
attribute it to cleaner milking by fresh
and more Industrious hands. 1t is, how
ever, well known that cows are peculiarly
sensitive to sights and sounds during the
time they are milked. Unless they are at
perfect ease, they will not give their milk
freely. They should be daily MIXED un-
der the same conditions Cows that are
fed at milking time require their usual
meal, or they become restless and dissatis-
fled, and put stop to their bounty.
Many of them will only allow some
special favorite to milk them. In those
parts of the country where women are
solely employed to milk, we frequently
find one or two tuneful lassies singing at
their work, and many cows become so
pleased with the rustic harmony as to
show evident signs of their approval oi
the loud sweet voice, by giving their milk
only by being sung to. Everything that
| distracts the attention of the cow and
rutfies her placidity, should be avoided
when she is called upon to yield her milk
| Her nervous system should not be excited
| by strange noises, unwelcome objects OF
rough treatment, or the effect will be
apparent in a diminished supply in the
milk pail. 1t would no doubt be good ad
vice, on the whole, to tell those who milE
that they should hold their tongues an6
keep their tempers. The Connecticut
farmer appears to have sufficient reason

Personal.


Here is the way Richardson, of the Daven-
port Democrat, delineates DIR. Shallenberger,
the great Fever and Ague.cure man:
"Dr. A. T. Shallenberger's name is a
household word in a majority of homes
throughout the Western and Southern States,
but to be intimately acquainted with the man
is the lot of comparatively few among those
even who have received lasting benefits at his
hands. Twenty five miles, or thereabouts on
this side of murky, smoky, dingy, busy,
bustling Pittsburgh, out of the dense clouds
of its forge and foundry fires, away from the
incessant rattle of its machinery, is situated
the rural little village of Rochester, Pennsyl-
vania, not to be mistaken for its populous
namesake in New York State, for this modest
town would have been scarcely heard of out
side of its immediate neighborhood were it
not that it was the home of q public benefac-
tor, the place from which he has sent to all
parts of the Union that great and good rem
edy, which has done more towards the reliev-
ing of poor suffering humanity, who burn with
fever or shiver with agus, than all the remedies
ever placed before the public put together.
This we would have the reader under
stand is no idle boast, beyond the knowledge
of the writer, but BON of experience, and
proved by knowledge cf actual facts. Among
our own personal acquaintance, we have
those who, prostrated by the alternate burn
ings and freezings of Americas direst disease,
have found all doctors at q loss, all boasted
panaceas useless, until the friendly hand OF
DIR. Shallenberger has come to their aid with
| the well-known bottles of familiar pills,
which have proved an infallible antidote, ar
resting the chills, and disarming the fever de-
mon as if by magic. For fifteen years has the
doctor been busily employed in preparing for
the public this prescription, which is not one
| of those cure-alls calculated to heal every
| disease, but well-considered, fully-proved
and never falling resort for the malarious dis.
ease it processes to cure. Those who know,
as we do, the character of the man, his stand
| ing in society, his perfect honor and undoubt
| ed integrity, and his aversion to any thing bor
dering on charlatanism, will indorse every
word we say"

A Plea for Xantippe.
BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR, +"

BY THE " FAT CONTRIBUTOR"
THERE was an unfortunate female whose
name is synonym for "scold," whom the
world may have judged too harshly, and,
recalling her, am constrained to write
plea in her behalf
Who can tell, at this late day, what an
noyances, irritations and insuferable vex-
ations resulted in rendering Xantippe the
scold she was? She might have been, and
undoubtedly was, an amiable young wo-
man when socrates married her. AS good
humor implies sort of easy Indifference
to the cares of life. she must indeed have
possessed good-natured attributes, or she
would have inquired and found out how
poorly calculated Philosophy is to support
a family on. She probably knew very
little of Socrates, except through reputa-
ton, when he asked for and obtained her
hand. She saw his name mentioned very
frequently in the papers as the Great Phi
losopher. She had heard him quoted as
authority in philosophical matters; had
known half of Athens to flock together
for the purpose of listening to his talk,
and had perhaps drowsed through one of
his lectures herself.
Her vanity was naturally gratified at be-
coming the wife of "The Greatest Philos-
opher in the World" as the lyceums inva-
riably billed him. Perhaps, in her girlish
romance and ignorance, she thought he
possessed the philosophers stone she had
read about, which transmutes everything,
| not excepting greenbacks, into gold. Or
she might have pictured him as some time

BRONCHITIS.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes, which carry the air we
breathe into the lungs. 1t arises from a cold
settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending
to these parts, from scrofulous affections, and
from severe use of the voice. The irritation
from this latter cause commences in the
larynr and glotiS, which are the organs of the
voice, and, extending downwards, produces
hoarseness, coughing, and splitting mucous
matter, sometimes mixed with blood. 1t is
chiefly dangerous from its tendency to spread
into the lungs, and terminate in consumption.
1t is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases
of this disease that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has achieved unparalleled suc-
cess, and won the loudest praise from all who
have used it. 1t is sold by all respectable
druggists. 5S4

Absorbent Powers of Mellow Soil.

EXPERIMENTS have shown that a mel
low, loamy soil is capable of absorbing in
twelve hours, when exposed to moist at
mosphere, an amount of water equal to
two per cent. of its weight. If any argu-
ment were needed to keep the soil mellow,
here is most powerful one to convince
u.s.. For this property possessed by a
mellow soil is one that in dry season is
able to give it the power of maturing a
crop, when hardened surface would be
unable to do SO. A surface that is i'm
penetrable to the atmosphere, of course
could not absorb any Of the moisture with
which the atmosphere is charged. But
when rendered free from Jumps by
repeated plowings and harrowings, each
change of temperature causes circulation
OF air throughout the mass of soil, which
is free then to absorb all the moisture
coming in contact with it until it is satu-
rated. So, then, the more the soil is mel
lowed by cultivation the less it is iniuri-
ously affected by drouth, and the better is
it enabled to mature fair crop in spite of
the absence of rain.-HeGrth and Home.

The Interior of the Earth.

AMONG the various papers recently read
before the British Scientific Association
was a report from the Tidal Committee
of the Society. This paper contained
number of curious and interesting specu
lations with regard to the degree of elastic
yielding which the solid earth experiences
under the tide-generating influences of the
sun and moon. 1t is quite certain that the
solid earth does yield to some degree. 1t
has long been favorite assumption with
geologists that the earth consists of shell
of solid rock from twenty to fifty miles in
thickness, inclosing an interior filled with
melted material, lava, metals, etc. This
hypothesis is now shown to be absolutely
untenable, because, if it were true, the
solid crust would yield with almost as
much freedom, on account of its thinness
and great area, as if it were perfectly
liquid. Thus the boundary of the solid
earth would rise and fall under the tide
generating influences, SO as to leave no
sensible differences to be marked by the
water rising and falling relatively to the
solid; showing that if the earth as while
had an average degree of rigidity equal to
that of a glass. the tides would be very
much diminished from the magnitude
which they would possess on perfectly
rigid globe, with water like Cur seas upon
it, This consideration, the committee re-
ports, makes it probable that the earth has
considerably more average rigidity than a
globe of glass of the same size. The
mathe matical calculation shows a some
what startling result, to the effect that a
globe of the same size as the earth, if
throughout exactly of the same rigidity as
glass on smaller scale, would yield like
an India rubber ball to the tide generating
influences, thus leaving very little oppor-
tunity for change in the relative heights
of water and land. The precise agree
ment of the actual tidal movement with
estimates founded on the supposition of q
perfectly rigid globe, renders it probable
that the earth is in reality vastly more
rigid as whole than any specimens of
surface rock that had been experimental
upon in any laboratories. Dr. Soule, ten
years ago, in speaking on this subject, had
suggested that probably the great pressure
in the interior produced in the material
which might be the same substance as the
surface rocks, a greatly increased rigidity
in positions at greas depths below the sur.
face. This part of the inquiry the com
| mistee propose to make primary Object
| in the calculation next to be taken.
