THE Two ExTREMEs.-Two classes OF
medical thinkers attempt to cure disease
by opposite modes of treatment. One
class forces the system into preternatural
activity; the other depresses and weakens
it. Both are wrong. To infame the
blood of an invalid with medicated alcohol
is as dangerous as to apply undue steam
pressure to a weak boiler; and to PROSTATE
the physical energy, which is the natural
opponent of disease, by depicting treat
ment, is an act of almost equal temerity.
There is medium between these two ex-
tremes. and DIR. JOSEPH WALKER, 70
whom the world owes the famous CALI
FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, has been for
tunate enough to strike it. He has pro-
duced some simple vegetable element
without the admixture of any distilled or
fermented fluid, a specific comprising the
important properties of wholesome
tonic, a gentle evacuant, a purifier of the
secretions, pulmonic, sedatiye, and a
powerful anti bilious agent. Never before
were these six sanative qualities compre-
hended in one medicine, and never before
did one medicine cure so many different
diseases. Dyspepsia, liver-complaint, dis
eases of the kidneys, rheumatism, inter.
mittent fever, disorders of the bowels,
gout, nervous affections, and maladies
proceeding from the impurity ofthe blood,
are only few of the bodily ills for which
VINEGAR BIrTERs is considered an unfail.
ing remedy.-C0m.

SUGGESTIVE IDIoTs.-The earnest and
persevering works of those who have
charge of the children in some of our in
stitutes for idiots is not only wonderful
in its results, but it is suggestive. Here
is a,child six or seven years old, unable
to walk, stand, talk, or taste, and hardly
capable of noticing what happens around
her. The superintendent of an ;nstitu-
ton for the instruction of idiots takes
this girl, and spends days and weeks and
months teaching her to stand in cor
ner. After five months constant and
daily labor he is rejoiced to see that she
has moved, of her own accord, one foot,
a half and an inch forward! Therefore
this patient teacher announces triumph
antly that the child may be cured. And
she is cured, for in time she became one
of the best dancers in the institution
Besides this, her mind and body i'm
proves satisfactorily in other respects.
Now if men and women can be found
who will thus labor and toll for years,
with unremittipg attention and care and
solicitude, to awaken the dormant ener-
gies of poor little idiots, who at first
give about as much encouragement to
their teachers as might be expected from
lot of CLAIMS or oysters, and such sur
prising and happy results are thereby
brought about, what might not - ex-
pected if our intelligent and sane hil-
dren' were treated with something OF that
earnest, thoughtful, untiring care which
these poor idiots receive? We will not
discuss the subject, but merely throw
out the suggestion.

A WHoLEsoME MEDIcIKE.-Are you in
trouble ? Work it off. Don't try to
quench your sorrow in rum or narcotics.
If you begin this you must keep right on
with it, till it leads you to ruin or if you
try to pause, you must add physical pam
and degradation to the sorrow you seek to
escape. Of all wretched men, his condition
is the most pitiful who, having sought to
drown his grief in drink, awakes from his
debauch with shattered nerves, aching head
and depressed mind, to face the trouble
again. That which was at first painful to
contemplate, will, after drink seem un-
bearable. Ten to one the fatal drink will
be again and again sought, till its victim
sinks hopeless, pitiful wreck. Work i
your true remedy. If misfortune hits you
hard, you hit something else hard. There
is nothing like good, solid, exhaustlng
work to cure trouble. There are some
great troubles that only time can heal, ,and
perhaps some that can never be healed at
all; but all can be helped by the great
panacea. Try it, you who are afflicted.
1t operates kindly and well, leaving no
disagreeable consequences in its train, and
large qualities of it may be taken with the
most beneficial effects.

VERY LONESOME The lonesomeness
of some married men when their wives
are away, said a simple minded lady,
while speaking of the summer flights,
is awful. There now, is Mr.. Jimmeny.
He is so cast down that he never comes
home now except with a latch key, and
then he pounds his poor lone hands on
the gate for an hour before he can get
in, and his voice is so lost in gloom that
all his words run together, and nobody
can understand what he says this time
o'night ; and then, too, he goes down to
the lake with lady in the buggy to
console him for the absence of his wife,
and he don't get back-it takes so long
to mobility lone husband, You know
until the soda water shops are all shut.
Then, too, he comes home sometimes
with three or four other married men,
whose wives are gone summerin, and
he turns on the gas in his house to make
it look cheerful, and they all put theil
legs over the front gallery, just to cure
their terrible loneliness, and then they
sing-O, such songs-if didn't know
their wives were gone and that they
really was tryin' to kill melancholy, I
should think they had drunk drop too
much but I know that can't be so, for
their wives don't like it, and they
wouldn't do anything when their wives
were gone that they scorned to do when
they were here

The LITTLE GIRL AND THE BEARS
1t is dangerous to be little girl in some
parts of the country, even now: At New
Sweden, Aroostook. Co, Me, a little girl,
fourteen years old, wert for pail Of wa
ter for her father, who was at work in the
woods. After she had filled her pail and
was returning, she met bear and three
cubs in the path. The cubs approached
her as if in play. She was afraid, and,
swinging her pail to keep them off, backed
and ran into the woods, they followed.
She tried to get away from them, but they
liked her company so we'll that they fol-
lowed her for several hours. She called to
her father, and lie heard her and went for
her, but soon her voice could not be heard,
and he was unable to find her. The dark
ness of the night came on without dis
covering his child. 1t was o'clock P NJ,
when she went ter the water. The next
morning large company turned out, and,
after long search, they found her several
miles from home. She had carried her
pail of water all this time, and her hand
was bleeding from the effects OF holding to
her pail.

Torpedo Boat Sunk.

The uselessness of the torpedo boat
which was launched at the Navy Yard in
Brooklyn, was fully demonstrated by an
accident which, had it not been in good
time discovered, would have resulted in
the death by sufocation of three
mechanics. 1t appears that, after the
board of officers who had been expert
menting with the torpedo had adjourned
for the day, and while the men on the
boat were attending to some work in the
hold, she suddenly sank and went to the
bottom. 1t fortunately happened that
the hatch was closed, and that the vessel
was not filled with water. The greatest
excitement prevailed in the yard as soon
as the news was circulated, and it was
expected that the men in her would be
smothered. Captain Ransom and other
officers soon arrived on the spot, and
measures were taken to aid the impris-
oned beings in the torpedo. The yard
diver was summoned, and he Immediately
descended to the bottom, to ascertain
the state of affairs. It was discovered
that the torpedo was powerless to raise
itself to the surface, and fears were for a
time entertained that the men would be
suffocated, as the vessel lay partly en-
bedded in the mud. A large force of
men were at once put on the floating
shears or hydraulic derrick, and it being
placed in position over. the spot by the
aid of the diver, chains were made fast
around it and efforts were commenced to
raise the marine monster with it's cargo
of human beings.
BY this time messenger had been
dispatched to Surgeon Rhoades, the
medical officer of the yard, who, attended
by Mr.. J. 81. Bellingham, with gal
vanic battery and other remedial agents,
were quickly on the spot. 1t was fully
expected that the experiments on the
torpedo had resulted fatally. but after
two hours hard work the vessel was
raised, and, to the great Joy of every
one, the men were found alive, though
in terrible state of fear. It providen-
TALLY happened that the supply of COM
pressed air with which tne vessel is
supplied in air-tight tanks was not ex-
haused, and had saved the mems lives
Had not the steam derrick been at hand
there is no doubt entertained that the
men in the torpedo boat would have met
a sad fate.

WHAT SMOKERS GO THROUGH, AND
WHY.-There Is a youth before us smok'
ing cigar with keen enjoyment. How
did he acquire the habit? Was he always
a smoker? Assuredly not. He associa-
ted with friends who INDUCED in the
sllperfuous habit, and was induced by
them to follow their example; nor did be
after few tentative efforts overcome the
difficulties which the task involves. He
had to persevere diligently step by step;
promptly desisting the moment he was
warned of revolutionary tendency
within his stomach. Pleasure there is
none during the period Of initiation, and
the amount derived when perfection has
been attained is frequently questionable.
To some the difficulties to he overcome
are insuperable. We have not illustrated
the foregoing to exemplify the habit as
being pernicious one. We indulge in
a weed occasionally and have no objec-
ton to smoking when not carried to ex-
cess. We simply Intended to point out
that whatever disagreeable impediments
stood in the way, the example, desirable
of imitation or the contrary, would be
followed. TinsIey's Magazine.

A QUEENLY MATCHMAKER. - When
Edward the Fourth was on the throne of
England, he was so desirlous to secure
every letter or dispatch written by
Margaret of Anjou, that heroic wife of an
unheroic king, that the penalty OF death
was awarded against any person who,
receiving a letter, or being in possession
of letter from Queen Margaret, delayed
in surrendering the same to the govern
ment. One would suppose that such a
penalty would lead every individual hold
ing such documents, If not to surrender
at least to destroy them. But human
nature is perverse also bold, courageous,
defiant. Many of Margaret's correspon-
dents hid away the letters she had written
to them some of these hare lately been
published by the Camden Society. The
volume is one of the most interesting of
the series published by that society, and
the letters themselves are credible to the
writer. They show her less as fercely
struggling, deeply sorrowing, terribly
avenging queen, than as a sympathising
woman, not so busy in her own affairs as
to lack time for being interested in the
affairs of others. She is ever ready to
say good word for worthy man seeking
advancement, and her heart responds to
appeals from young maidens with whom
the course of true love does not run
smooth. For them, Queen Margaret
writes with affectionate urgercy to that
sort of sire who is apt to say of a suitor to
his daughter, who is unwelcome to him
self, " can't imagine what the girls can
see in such fellow, to like him |"
To such stern fathers Margaret of Anjou
writes like wise and affectionate woman.
She may be called matchmaker" for
she seems to have gone to the work of
coupling with great alacrity, but we are
sure that many young couple, in those
turbulent times, owed to her happiness
and harmony in their married life which
poor Margaret never enjoyed in her own.
