Age Is tho night Of life night is
the age of day; but, nevertheless, it
is full ui magniiiconcc, and for many
beings it is more brilliant than the
day 1t is In God that we must
contemplate the one, as it is in the
heavens that we must study the
other. See whether for its dear stars
the heavens have any seasons. See
the night of age it, also, is strewn
with stars, and even rs the old man
has nothing to do with seasons the
world of vicissitudos losses md
struggles at his feet, tho imIEassiye-
ness of the iirmaIucnt is his.
Let him withdraw himself TO the
d4pths eff his pious thoughts, their
space does not fail him. Let winter
strike this world below, the heavens
are always blue and each diamond
ia world. At times, in the pro
llnGcd nights the poles, a light ap-
pears which resembles tho aurora,
aud in an instant djssipates the
gloom thus with the aged man, in
stinctivo Itlumiuatioms, as If be
longing 10 u new world strike upon
his eyes. The hours OF night do
him good, it is rare that these silent
companions do not bear to him,
like bencdiction, some thought OF
heaven.
"Tho day belongs to men, has
said one of the ancients, aud the
night to the gods" Yes, day IN
It's activity and it's hustle is to men
and human things what youth ana
strength are to age, but night IN it's
silence and meditation is to God
like age, which contemplation of the
heavenly rest triumps over all the
interests of life. Docs not age re-
semble the rcpose of tho last hour
of the day, tho repose which comes
after all duties done?
The Gears Of the old man which
correspond to these hours, are they
not his property moro than any
other? has not lie acquitted himself
of all his debts, this vetera Of the
earth, and, perhaps, according to
the words of the Psalmist, paid what
he did not over That which remains
to him is, indeed, his; and that
which he possesses IS 1t not Gods !?

Value Of Pumpkins,

Last year l raised twenty OK cart
loads of pumpkins with corn from
an acre. The cart would hold forty
bushels of potatoes. I consider
them valuable feed for stock, taking
into consideration how cbeapIy they
can be raised. l undertook to DRY
them IN my apple dry house some
for market, and was offered five cen is
per pound 1 found that a green
pumpkin weighing from fifteen to
twenty pounds would make about
one pound of well dressed dry
pumpkin, and that it would pay
better to dry them for my hogs las
it could be done very cheap than IT
would to sell. I soaked the dry pump
kin IN milk, and led the same to the
hogs they gained fast. l also dried
quite an amount aud barreIed it to
feed this summer. l fed my sheep
upon the green ones two months,
and II did very much toward fatening
forty, which sold for mutton, aud
the forty which [ wintered never did
better. 1 commenced to iced my
cattle IN September, and fed some
every day until February. 1t saved
a vast amount of feed. 1 am planting
but a small place of corn, and wish
to raise a large amount of pumpkins,
so plant them with my Early II Sc
potatoes their tops die early,
which will let in the sun and give the

A Curious Custom.

During the sixteenth century, the
Gust m of buryiDG the human heart
separately from the rest of the body,
prevail d At Wedmore ~ n monu-
ment sacred to the memory OF Capt.
Thomas Hodges, of the County of
Somel set, who was at The siege of
Antwerp, with unconquored courage,
won two eusigns from the enemy,
wherc. receiving his last wounds, he
gave three lega,ies; his soul to his
Lord Jesus, his body TO his friends
to be lodged IN Flemish earth, his
heart to be sent to his dear wife in
England. The heart of Lord How
ard Bruce, who fell in a duel in Hol-
land, was carried in 4 silver box to
England. 1t was the custom at one
time to take out the heart from the
urn, and on the anniversary OF Its
entombment, to refresh it with
glass OF wine.

It is subject of general remark,
among both wholesale and retail drug
gists, that no medicine introduced to
the American public has ever gained
such a popularity and met with so large
sale in all parts of the land, In the
same length of time, as has DR. DieFce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This can
not depend upon its having been more
largely advertised than any other medi-
cine, as such is not the case. The cor
rect explanation, we think, is found In
the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures of
very bad cases of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most
perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds
of Coughs that has ever been introduced
to the public, and at the same time pos
sesses the greatest of blood purifying
and strengthening properties that med
ical science has been able to produce,
thus rendering it a sovereign remedy
not only in the cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Hoarseness aud Coughs, but
also for all diseases of the liver and
blood, as scrufulous diseases, skin dis
eases. blotches, rough skin, pimples,
black specks and discoloratiOns. It has
therefore a wide range of application
aud usefulness, and it not only gives
the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations
OF the most sanguine, thus eliciting the
loUdest praise and making permanent
firing advertising mediums of all who
use it. For these reasons it is that
there is not perhaps druggist i'll all
the vast domain in this continent, who
tries to please his customers and supply
their wants. that noes not keep and sell
large quantities of this most valuable
medicine. $50.
