Caution to Women Travelling
Alone.

The Congregdtionalist gives timely
warning to women, and especially to
girls, about the acquaintances whom
they make in the cars. / Speaking .oi
the scoundrels, who seem to
grow even more numerous and more
subtle as our civilization grows older,
it says: On the watch for women as
bad rs themselves, or for the young
and unsophisticated, of whom n villain
might make victim, it is next to i'm
possible for young woman to enter
the car unattended without their know
ledge. She is fortunate if they make
no more or less cautious approaches to
find ont who she is, where she is going
and whether she will tolerate the IA
miliarity of a stranger. So numerous
are these men that it is with some peril
that young woman undertakes long
journey alone. The peril of those who
may be unfortified by principle, or un-
acquainted with the ways of the world,
or susceptible to batteries from smooth
tongue, is great. We know of no help
for this evil but i'm the watchfulness of
parents, in the uprising of the yirtuous
against the vile, and the discretion of
those who are subject these annoyances
and insults. 1t is safe for young wo-
man to repel the familiar advances of
smiling and officious strangers at any
time. If on the road any help is re-
quired, there are public officials to whom
it is always both proper and safe to
make application.

WORK AND THINK.

Hammer, tongs, and anvil ringing,
Waking echoes all day long,
In deep toned voices are singing
Thrifty lab0r's iron song.
From n thousand fy wheels bounding,
From Il thousand humming looms,
Night and day the notes are sounding
Through the misty fact'ry rooms.
Listen, workmen, to their play
There's advice in every ciink;
still they're singing-still they're saving
while You labor, learn to think"
Think what power lies within you.
For what triumphs We are formed,
If in aid OF bone and sinew,
Hearts by emulation warmed
Mighty now We WOO and cherish,
What shall hold your spirits down?
What shall make your high hopes perish?
Why shall ye mind fortunes mowng
DO you wish for profit, pleasure!
Thrust at Learning's fountain drink
Crave We honor, fame, or treasure.
Yet the germs haye-stOp and think!
Think. but not alone of living,
Like the horse from day to day;
Think! but not alone OF giving
Health for pelf, or soul for pay.
Think. oh. be machines no longer
Think! like those in joyous mood.
Think twill make you fresher, stronger;
Link you to the great and good.
Thought exalts and lightens labor;
Self-respect and love for neighbor,
Mark the men who work-and think!
Think. and let the thought now nerve you
Think Of men who'ye gone before;
Leaving lustr0us names to serve you;
Yours the path they've plodded Ger;
Freedom fights and wins her charter
With the sword of thought-the pen.
Tyranny can find no quarter
In the ranks of thinking men.
Think! for thoughts wand Of power
Power to make oppression shrink;
Grasp We, then, the precious dover;
Pole it-yield it-work and think.
Hold your heads up. tOiling brothers,
'Mongst us be it ne'er forgot,
Labor for ourselves and others,
Is for man nObler lot.
NObler far, and hOlier, higher,
Than vain luxury can claim,
II but zeal and worth inspires,
And true greatness he our aim.
Power to compass this is given
Power to form the strongest link
'TwiNt an upright man and Heaven,
His noblest power the power to think,

A Grand Experiment.

A man in Delaware having heard that
the earth revolves at the rate of one
thousand miles an hour, has arranged
a plan for going up in balloon and re-
manning stationary while the earth is
permitted to slide away beneath. He
thinks that by this means he can reach
California in couple of hours merely
by shooting up from Wilmington in his
balloon, and then dropping down again
as soon as the Rocky Mountains are OBJ
served to go past. He has the whole
thing arranged now in perfect order
the balloon, the place to start from, and
his map, and so forth-so that the
scheme cannot possibly fail; and all he
wants to make the thing complete is to
find something to tie the balloon to in
order to hold it still while it is in the
air.

ant to high duties, he will pass away as
some other men have passed away. He
will be condemned by the popular
breath as other men are condemned.
He went a stranger to West Point.
He bore the ensign of his country as Il
subaltern officer in the Mexican war.
He retired from the army and the ranks
to private life, and like all American
citizens ought to do; more than that,
every one of us may yet be beyond it.
When the hour came for him to support
that wife and children he went to work
like an honest man.
How came the American people to
select him for their General-can you
tell?

A Widow to Beware of.

A lady of this city has recently ex-
perienced the "Death do us part" with
her seventh husband, and she is now
fresh and charming widow of "a. She
was first married in 1855 at the age OF
Il, and her husband died two years af-
terward. She married her second hus-
band in 1929, who lived but six months
after the marriage. She married again
in 1861, and her husband enlisted and
was killed in an action in Virginia.
During the war she married twice, and
both OF these husbands were killed. In
1866 she married again and the hus-
band died in 1867. In 1870 she was
again in the oft-trodden pathways to
the altar, and about two months ago
she returned from the well-tracked
pathway to her husbands tomb. Her
experience of mankind ought 10 be
valuable. Detroit Press.

Three Chances to get Married.

A Yankee old bachelor was once ban
tered on the subject of matrimony by a
young girl, who told him she didn't be-
lieve he ever found a woman who'd
have him.
ayes, L did," replied he, 81 had three
chances to get married, and they all
''busted" so 1 never tried fourth"
'.Pray how was that" inquired the
young lady.
''Why, you see, cOurted Deacon
Hawkins darter Deborah-Deb, they
used to call her-and so one night we
made it up between us to get married.
Well, while we were going to the par
sons, I accidently sIouched my foot in
to mud puddle and spattered mud all
over Deb's new gown; it was made
out'n one of her grandmother's chintz
petticoats, and she.was so proud of the
rig that she got mad as hops. Wa'al,
when we got to the parsons the..cere-
mony began, and he asked Ded if she
would take me for her lawful welded
husband. "No!" says she; "rve taken
a mislikin to him since left home"
"The parson laughed, and so did his
wife and darter, who had come in to see
the ceremony, and felt streaked as
thunder, while Deb went off in a
milf.
Wa'al, it was all up, of course, for
the time being; but 1 was determined
to have some satisfaction for such mean
treatment, so l began to shine up to her
again; gin her new string of beads,
a few kisses and some other notions un-
til finally we made it all up, and We
went to the parsons a second time. We
was stood out in the middle of the room
and he axed me if 1 would take Debor-
all for my lawful welded wife? "No"'
said l, "I've taken a mislikin' TO her
since was here last!'
This was a sumner for poor Deb,
who turned white as a sheet, and the
parsons wife ran for her smellin' salts.
l began to relent little when saw
how she took it; bnt it proved to be
only mad fit after all; for, in few
minutes more she was skittin away for
home, lively as a cricket.
1t was some weeks before l could
bring round the gal agin to let me
spark her, and it proved ruther an ex-
pensive job, too, for had to buy her a
span new caliker gown which cost hard
OH to four dollars. That fotched her
and made a sure thing of it. So we
went third time to the parsons ex-
pecting to be tied so fast that all natur'
couldn't separate us. We ax'd him to
begin the ceremony, as everything was
all right now.
81 shan't do any such thing" said he,
"for I've taken mislikin' to both of
you since you were here last"
Thereupon Deb burst out crying
and the parsons wife she burst out a
laughing, and the parson burst out a
scolding; and 1 burst out the front
door and put for home. Next day,
hearing that Deb had licked the parson
and pulled out nearly all his wife's
hair, concluded that my chances with
such fillybuster would be rather
squally, so let her Slide"

Anecdote of Tom Corwin.

When quite a young man, Tom
CorWin was elected a member of the
General Assembly of the State OF
Ohio, and early in the session, he
brought bill for the destruction of
the public whipping post, He made
an earnest speech in favor of the
measure, to which an elderly mem
Der replied as follows: "Mr. Speak
er, the gentleman is not as old as
am, and has not seen as much of the
practical operation of the system OF
punishment which we desire to abol
ish. When 1 lived in Connecticut il

give him a real good thrashing, anC
he always cleared right out, and W,
never saw anything more of him
It's the best way of getting rid Ot
the rogues that was ever tried, with
out expense to the State" Mr.
CorWin, who never failed to carry his
point by joke, if the argument was
against him, only made the brief re-
ply: "Mr. Speaker, l have often
been puzzled to account for the vast
emigration from Connecticut to the
West, but the gentleman last up has
explained 1t to my satisfaction. II
is almost needless to say that Mr.,

r,raoraokers ans Fireworks.


The increased sale Of fire crackers
and fireworks the present year,
would seem to indicate that patriot
ism is on the increase, if the growth
of that article can be properly meas
ured by the quantity Of "villainous
saltpetre" and other things exploded
or burned. 1t is stated that the i'm
poration of fire crackers this year
will reach $4,000 boxes. These
goods are brought from China in
sailing vessels, and fire crackers cost
in Canton about rs cents a box.
Adding freight, commissions, ex-
penses and duty Of one dollars box,
in gold, the cost of fire crackers
amounts 50 Is a box. Taking the
average at SO 80 box, the cost to
consumers of fire crackers alone will
this year amount to $5S6,250. The
fireworks that will be used are much
more expensive. There are seven
large establishments in this country
employed in manufacturing fire
works. Six of these are in the vi
cinity Of New York, and one is neal
Cincinnati, from which are obtained
the supplies for the West. These
factories have an aggregate capita
of 100000, and work from the mid
die of December until after the
Fourth of July. Fireworks to the
value of 100000, exclusive of granC
displays and exhibition pieces fol
cities and towns, have this year beer
manufactured in the above establish
ments. The torpedOes manufactur
ed this year, it is estimated, will
amount to one hundred millions
They are put up in packages Of on
hundred torpedoes each, and sold 70
five cents a package.

Yesterday l asked the old ex-

dency.
"Why sir" he replied, 81 go for
Greeley"
"Why for Greeley" asked.
because, sir, if we get him of
from the Republicans, we kill the
id Republican party. For if that
hungry Tribune set ever get into of
fee once they will starve out the
GRANTEES, and then steal and gorge
themselves till they bust and dis
gust everybody else and compel de-
cent Republicans to go off and join
the Democracy. Yes, sir, the sal
vation of the old Democratic party
is to elect Greeley"
"Will the Southern secessionists
go for GreeleyP I asked.
"Some will and some won't, sir.
There's General Hill-a red hot Sc
cessionist once-he made a speech
lately for Greeley, but old Bob
Toombs pricked his Greeley bubble
and let the air out in three minutes.
But, sir, I'm for Greeley, just as I'd
be for the devil himself if it was to
destroy the Black Republican Yam
kee party, which has always fought
the south. Now we've got the Black
Republicans divided, we must whip
them in detail, or, ten to one, they
will alI-Grant, Greeley and Sumner
get around together again. A
vote, sir, for Greeley, between you
and l, is a vote for killing the Re
publican party"
Then the old secessionist went off
to the other end of the balcony, and
commenced abusing the Yankees in
general agaln.-Eli Perkins.

FOREVER" "


From G. S. Calversley's "FIy Leaves" to b

Foreverl 'Tis a single word!

Can you imagine so absurd
A view?
Forever! What abysms of woe
The word reveals, what frenzy, what
Despairl For ever printed SOY
Did not.
II looks, ah me! how trite and tamel
It fails to sadden or appal
Or solace-it is not the same
At all.
o thou to whom it first occurred
To solder the disjoined, and dover
Thy native language with word
OF power:
We bless theei Whether far or near
Thy dwelling, whether dark or fair
Thy kindly brow, is neither here
Nor there.
But in mems hearts shall be thy throne
While the great pulse of England beats:
Thou coiner of word unknown
To Keats
And nevermore must printer do
As men did long ago; butrun
"For" into "ever," bidding two
Be one.
Foreverl passiOn-fraught, it throws
Ger the dim page gloom, glamour:
It's sweet, it's strange; andI suppose
It's grammar.
Foreverl 'Tis single world
And yet our fathers deemed it two:
Nor am confident they erred;
Are you?

This wonderful vegetable
restorative is the sheet-an-
Ichor of the feeble and de-
bilitated. As a tonic and
cordial for the aged and Ian
guid it has no equal among

the nervous weakness to
which women are especially
subject, it is superceding ev-
cry other stimulant. In all
climates, tropical, temperate
or frigid, it acts as a specific
in every species of disorder
which undermines the bodily
