.a'i,e Jl:,n q he world Described

~ Ear5 ,on.
Mr. Fagjcon's new novel, London s
Heart, contains, IN chapter twenty-five,
this good BIZ of Misunderstanding
The man Of the world, whose reputa-
ton rests upon a sound foundation is
sure to get the best of his neighbors. He
Is shrewd, and sharp, and cunning, and,
like the fretful porcupine, so armed at
all points as to be almost sure Of wound
ing whatever comes in contact with him.
Frankness beams in his eye, but calcula-
ton sits in his soul; he gets information
out OF you by side-strokes, and profits by
1t; he brings you round by the arttulest
Of roads to the point he Is working for
he pumps you dry so skillfully that you
do not feel thirsty in the process and he
leaves you under the impression that he
Is the most amiable Of companions. For
tunate it is for you if further experience
of his amiability do not compel you. with
groans, to reverse this verdict. Attach
ed to the popular Interpretation Of imam
OF the world are profound and pulling
depths. 4 man fails in business, lifts up
his eyes, looks mourniully around him,
buys sackcloth and ashes, signs frequent
ly, is soul respondent, grows little shah
by, meets his creditors, obtains his re-
lease, and hey, presto smilingly re-en-
tiers the circle from which he had been
temporarily banished-re-enters it calm
and confident, with no sign of defeat
upon him. He is received with open
arms, for 1t is whispered that he has
"means; andif one says to another, ''Is
it not strange that Mr. Plausible, who
was in such difficulties last month, and
was supposed to be ruined, should be liv-
ing now in such good style?' 1t is ten to
one another answers, He is a man of
the world sir, thorough man of the
world;" and lifts his hat to Mr. Plausi-
BILE, whojust at that moment happens to
pass by.
See the other side of the picture A
man fails in business, is soul-crushed.
looks mourntully about him, shrinks from
his former friends, grows old quickly, sits
in sackcloth and ashes, sinks down, down
in the world, obtains his release after
bitter struggling, and never raises his
head again: one says TO another, Poor
Mr. Straight Regularly crushed, isn't
her" And another answers, "What else
could be expected Straight never was
a man of the world :" and turns his back
upon the unfortunate, who just at that
moment happens be coming toward him.
To be a completely successful man of
the world, one must be thoroughly sell
fish, often dishonest, often false, seldom
Conscientious, and the porcupine quilts
which guard his precious interests must
be well sharpened If now and then
there is blood upon them, what matter
Blood is easily washed otf-but they say
the smell remains.

1t has been truthfulIy said that even
in these enlightened days, and in the
lands most blessed By the influence OF
civilization. there are thousands upon
thousands of persons born into the world
who live long lives, and then 60 down
into their graves without ever having
tasted a good cup OF coffee mere are
many reasons for this, and the p. incipal
one. of course. must be that 50 few per-
sons know bow to make good coffee ANA

ard directions published which teach us
how To make good coffee by boiling IT;

making it ia an open vessel by sleeping

b. not clearing it BIZ grinding it fine
bv grinding 1t coarse, and by many other
methods opposed to each other and to all
these. Now we do not intend to try to
tcll anybody how to make good coffee but
we just wish to say a word about the
treatment Of the coffee after 1t IS made
And on this treatment depends It's ex-

rTHE subscriber respectfully invites your
Portable Plank and Straight
ksaiI Fence,

Which he confidently believes solves the fence
question, which, since the change of our labor
system, IS now he question of the farm
This fence is one of unquestionable merit so
proclaimed by all who have examined or used
it, With nearly one-halfless Rails the insight
ly crooked fence can be converted with small
cost, into substantial durable Fence with
out the use OF new rails. 1t is. easily made,
and can be rapidly constructed. Properly
constructed, ii is proof against unruly stock,
wind or flood, and will stand ten years, if not
longer, without repair. No part of the Fence
NEED touch the ground; requires no post-holes
no boring, no mortising.
This fence has been in use in the State of
New York for FIVE years and has more than
met the most sanguine expectation of the most
practical farmers. The Fence is an invention
of the subscriber, but finding himself antici-
pated by Patents issued March - 1867 to the
parties above mentioned he has made ar
engagements with that COMPANY, to sell State
county, and Farm Rights in this State He
would suggest to parties DESTROYS of making
good investments to raise joint companies or
clubs, of three or more, with the view of pur-
chasing Territorial Rights.
The favorable reception with which this
Fence has met, and is meeting, renders this
rare opportunity to men of energy to more
than double their investment in short time
For cheapness, durability and solidity, we
invite inspection, challenge all possible compe-
ttion, and defy the criticism of the strictest
economy. Over the common crooked Fence it
saves nearly four thousand rails to the mile;
and estimating the cost of both fences at three
dollars per hundred for making, hauling and
putting up the rails, it will save over $40 per
mile, and give you a fence doubly as durable
and doubly as strong as the common crooked
fence.
The merits Of this Fence are fully protect
ed by law, and all Imitation Inventors must
incur the risk of Infringement
An infringement consists in the actual
manufacture, sale or use of an article and
not in the purchase of patent rights.

Prof Andrews, Of the Chicago Medical
College, has been classifying the medical
facts contained in the census reports Of
1860 and 1870, and from these he finds
that consumption and cancers are two
diseases which are similarly affected by
and prevail in the same regions, and that
the two laws governing their prevalence
are as follows First, these two diseases
are abundant near the sea, and diminish
as you recede from it; and second, at
equal distances from the sea they prevail
most at the North and diminish az you
20 South From this it follows that the
best resort for a Gonsumptive or cancer
patient is some point which is at the
same time as far South and as far from
the sea as possible. Such place is New
Mexico, where the deaths from consump-
ton are only three per cent, or Arkan-
sas, where they are five per cent, while
in New England, which is colder and
sea-girt, they are twenty-five per cent
Entirely in accordance with this rule,
but contrary 20 the popular opinion,
Minnesota is worse place than any
other State, having fourteen per cent,
ofdcaths from consumption, though this
may be because consumptives are sent
there to seek health. Mississippi, Ala
bama and Florida have each SIX per cent !;
Georgia and South Carolina five per cent
