GOOD ADvICE.-Presideat Porter, of
Yale College, gave the following advice
to students of That institution the other
day '.Ioung men. you are the archi-
tects of your own strength of body and
soul. Take for your star self-reliance,
faith, honesty, and industry. 1nscribe
on your banner. Luck is a fool, pluck is
Il hero Don't take too much advice
keep at your helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the great art of
commanding is to take a fair share of the
work. Strike out. Assume your own po-
sition. Put potatoes in your cart, over
rough road, and small Oneswil go to the
bottom. Rise above the enyious and
jealous. Fire above the marks you in
tend to hit. Energy, invincible deter
mination, with right motive, are the le-
vers that move the world. Don't drink.
Don't chew. Don't smoke. Don't swear.
Don't deceive. Don't read novels. Don't
marry until you can support wife. BE
in earnest. Be self-reliaut. Be gencr-
Gus. Be civil. Read the papers. Adj
ycrtise your business. Make money, and
do good with it. Love your country and
obey its laws. If this advice is implicit
ly followed by the young men of the
country, the millennium is ut hand.

Nearly all diseases originate from Indi-
gestion and Torpidity of the Liver. and
relief is always anXiously sought after.
If the Liver is Regulated in its action,
health is almost invariably secured. Want
of action in the Liver causes Headache,
Constipation, .Iaundice, Paiu in the
Shoulders, Cough, Chills, Dizziness, Sour
Stomach, bad taste i'm the mouth, bilious
attacks, palpitation of the heart, depres-
sion of spirits, or the blues, and hun
dred other symptoms, for which Simmons,
Liver Regulator is the best remedy that
has ever been discovered 1t acts mildly,
effectually, and being a simple vegetable
compound, can do no injury in any,
quantities that it may be taken. 1t is
harmless in every way; it has been used
for 40 years, and hundreds of the good
and great from all parts of the country
will vouch for its being the purest and
best.
The Symptoms of Liver Complaint are
uneasiness and pain in the, side, some
times the pain is in the shoulder, ard Is
mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and sick
ness, bowels in general coStive, sometimes
alternating with lax. The head is troubled
with pain. and duh, heavy sensation. con-
siderable loss of memory, accom- panied
with painful sensation of having left un-
done something which ought to have
been DONE Often complaining of weak
ness, debility, and low spirits. Some,
times many of the above symptoms at
tend the disease, and as other times very
few of them; but the. Liver is generally
the organ most Involved.

SECRET OF HAPPINESS An Italian
Bishop who had struggled through many
difficulties without repining, and had been
much opposed without Misunderstanding I'M
patience, being asked by friend to COM
municate the secret of his being always
happy, replied sit consists in u single
thing. and that is, making right use of
my eyes. His friend, in surprise, begged
him TO explain his meaning. =" Most
willingly" replied the bishop, "In What
soevcr state / am, L first of all look mp to
heaven. and remember that my great
business is to get there; / look down upon
the earth. and callt mind how small a
space shall soon find in it. ! then look
abroad in the world, and see what multi
tudes are in all respects less happy than
myself and then L learn where all my
cares must end, and how little reason L
ever had to murInur or to be otherwise
than thanking. And to live in this spirit
is to be always happy" ---

THr POWER OF THE. M1sD.-The .nc.

THE POWER, OF THE. MIND.-The sue
cess of almost every enterprise depends
upon the degree to which those engaged
i'm it tax their power of mind. Works
without faith are almost as futile as s'faith
without works. Many things deemed
i,,:,possible by the rest of the world, have,
been eIiqcted by those who have brought
the full force OF their mind to bear upon
what they set themselves TO accomplish.
Whatever NAV be said of the difference
in talent of individuals, if we look at the
successful, and inquire into the cause OF
their success, we shall find genius out
stripped by moderate talents, when the
latter brings its full powers of mlndt to the
work. Whether in the school-room or IN
the everyday business of life in the hum
bic walks of bodily toll or the profession
al ayocations, were the mind Is most de-
pended on; in invention orexecution IN

which success depends is not. who haxthe

Lenyei, tile Lien Tanner, Again iis
tIae Jaws Of One Sf His Pets.

The man above named has achieved no.
toriety by the number of times he has suf-
fered laceration by the claws and teeth
of Gagged III imals. He was one day last
week at Portage City, Minn., exhibiting
his Lion tanning abilities in circus
One of his cages contained three partially
trained brutcS. two lionesses and lion.
He had found, contrary TO usual eXpe-
ricnce. that the male lion was the most
crafty of the three, and on two occasions
before the one at Portage City, he had de-
tected this huge fellow in the act of sneak
ing up 10 seize his leg. During the after
noon exhibition at Portage City, the
tanner was going through his esual per-
forInance in this cage, with two men sta
toned outside with iron rods between the
bars of the cage to assist, if necessary, i'll
warding off attack. The lion had some
what puzzled him, as manitestlng dlf-
ferent nature from that ofany with which
he had dealt, and for that reason he kept
his eye upon him; but at one point ne
was Obliged to turn and face the TWO
lionessrs as they passed him, leaving the
lion TO be watched by the attendants.
But the attendants failed to see the mon
ster sneak along the floor. The au6lehce
were watching more closely, the danger
was seen. and Il cry of alarm was raised,
but it was too late the monster jaws had
closed OH the calf of LengaIs right leg,
the teeth met aud Lengel fell TO the hoor
of the cage. lis club flew from his hand
as he fell, and was beyond his reach the
moment was one of terrible suspense;
the spectators were terrified, and the two
attendants paralyzed at the result of their
carelessness. But Lengefs presence OF
mind did not desert him. The lion, even
i'm his rage, could not forget the power OF
his fallen antagonist, and loosered his
hold for "A moment, and before the lioness
could gather for an attack. the tanner was was
| on his feet, seized his whip and attacked
his foe, lashing him into the corner
Leaving the cage, Lengel walked to his
| dressing box, across the ring, where he
sank faint from the loss of blood. 1t was
| found that no bones were broken, but the
wounds were so large and deep that the
surgeon who dressed them probed them
with his finger and failed TO touch the
| end.
| Lengel has been five times before bit
| ten by his pets, and shows a Scared body
| but in every case before his wounds have
| been from lionesses. This lie thinks Is
the second case in which he has been in
| teutionally bitten, the other four being

themselves they have seized HIM by mis-

A young minister, who had been in
vited to preach in church where the
congregation was very much opposed to
written sermons, found himself i'll Il very
unusual and unpleasant condition when
he arose to announce his discourse. He
had never preached without notes, and
all his ideas fled as soon rs he had an
uOunced his text. He paused: told how
his text was divided paused again; re-
peated his text, and then made several
unsuccessful efforts to say something
about something. IIe-tried the creation,
but that would not do. Then he attempt
ed something about the patriarchs of old,
but failed again. Everything seemed
very dark to him until he thought of
Joseph. lie had read of him so much
that he was sure he remembered his his
tory. ''Now. brcthren,'' said he, ''JacOb
had twelve children. Yes, (raising his
voice) he had twelve sons. That good
old father (raising his voice still lIigher)
had twelve sons, and, brethren, they were
all boys" With this he sat down very
suddenly, and then arose and gave out
the doxology.
