CELERY AS A MEDfcINE.--Celeryi is in sea-
son. and it is asserted of ii that it is one of the
most potent and anti-nervine remedies known.
Until recently it was said u celery that IL
possessed no medicinal qualities, but writer
in recent periodical asserts that he has
s'known many men, and women, too, who, from
various causes, have become so much affected
with nervousness, that when they stretched
out their hands they shook like aspen leaves
on windy day, who by daily moderate use Of
the blanched foot stalks, or the celery leaves
as a salad, became as strong and steady in
limbs as other people. / have known others
so very nervous that the lest annoyance put
them in a state of nervous agitation, who
were in almost constant perplexity and fear,
and who were eflectually cured by daily use
of celery" 1t is said to be a cure for palpita-
ton of the heart, also.

THE MYsTBRIEs or NATURE.

The primary forms, colors and sounds Of
nature are but few, and yet their notifications
and combinations are infinite. So far as hui
man knowledge and research extend, the
changes of time have never produced two forms
exactly alike, whether in tho mineral, vege-
table, or animal Kingdoms. No two grains of
sand, to say nothing Of larger objects, of ma
tural division, and portions of the earth sur
face, are precisely alike. There are not two
plants, flowers, seeds, or even leaves, in the
whole universe allotted to man that exactly
resemble each other in form, size weight and
color. No two animal creations, no two voices
are identical among all tho living works of
God
Human ingenuity has constructed no two
musical Instruments that gave forth the same
identical sound and the microscope detects a
marked difference of color in every leaf of
every flower, and every thread Of the finest
fabric produced and colored by human skill.
In short, the dissimlarities of similarity Of all
things, natural or artificial, are the most
mysterious of all the hidden and yet clearly
visible mysteries.

AccuRAcY.-Boys, listen to what President
futile says: l saw young man once in the
Office of Western Railway Superintendent.
He was occupying position that four hun
bred boys in that city would have wished to
get. 1t was honorable and it paid well, be-
sides being in the line of promotion. How did
he get it? Not by having a rich father, for
he was the son of laborer. The secret was
his beautiful accuracy. He began an GRAND
boy, and did his work accurately. His lei
sure time he used in perfecting his handwrit-
ing and arithmetic. After a while he learned
to telegraph. At each step his employer COM
mended his accuracy and relied on what he
did, because he was sure it was just right
And it is thus with every occupation. The
accurate boy is the favorite one Those who
employ men do not wish to be on the constant
lookout as though they were rogues or fools.
If a carpenter must stand at his .journeyman'
elbow to be sure his work is right, or if a
cashier must run over book keepers col
umns, he might as well do the work himself
as to employ another to do the work in that
way, and it is very certain that the employer
will get rid of such an inaccurate workman as
soon as he can.

"A PTOTUKE or LIFE.


Life looks beautiful from both extremities.
Prospect and retrospect shine alike in light
SO divine Us to suggest that the first catches
some radiance from the gates not yet closed by
which the soul has entered, and that the last
is Illuminated from the opening realms into
which it is soon to pass.
Now that they are all gone wrap myself
in dreams Of them, and live over the old days
with them. Even the feeblest memory, that
cannot hold for moment the events of to-day,
keeps firm grasp upon the things Of youth,
and rejoices in its treasures. 1t is curious
process--this feeling of ones way back to
childhood, and clothing ones self again with the
little frame-the buoyant, healthy, restless, bun
die of muscles and nerves-and the old rela-
tions of careless infancy. The growing part
of later years and the ampler vestments
are laid aside, and one stands in his slender
young manhood. Then backward still the
fancy goes, making the frame smaller, and
casting aside each year the changing garments
that marked the eras of early growth, until
at last one holds himself upon his own knee

AN APrLE DRYING FACTORY.

Last spring stranger appeared at Grand
Rapids, Michigan, and exhibited variety of
samples of dried FRUITS and proposed, with
the cooperation Of the citizens, to form
company and establish an apple drying factory.
Though the proposed process was novelty to-
the people Of Grand Rapids, yet they investi-
gated its merits, and finding them to be as
represented, they forthwith formed accompany,
raised the money necessary, and put the fac
tory in operation. The whole affair cost $13s-
600, and since it started it has cleared daily
profit of fifty dollars. It employs % hands,
principally young ones, whose wages average
$3.50 weekly. The company is preserving
only fruits and vegetables. Owing to the
enormous apple crop of this season, that fruit
has been extensively bought at low prices, and
then dried. The apples, when taken from the
farmer, are stored in the cellar. Thence the
apple is hoisted to the second floor, where it is
placed on the pairing table and stripped by
machinery of its skin. Then it goes to the
slicing table, where it is cut into proper sizes,
leaving the core entire. Tho slices and the
cores fall into separate vessels. The latter are
most others into jelly.
The apple slices are then dried artifcially,
as has often been described. There is no APP
parent limit to the sale of the products of the
factory, which will this season pay Is per
cent dividend ON the Investment. But it does
not stand alone as there are fourteen other
similar factories in the Northwest. These
concerns have worked up into marketable pro-
ducts immense quantities of apples which
otherwise would have persisted ON the ground.
The crop al over New Jersey was equally
large, yielding more than all the cider mills
and whiskey stills could work up. Apples
went begging for buyers at ten to twelve cents
a bushel, and many times could not be sold at
any price. Hence, many thousands of bushels
must have gone to waste,-Burliagton Ga
zette.

A TIcKIhsH QUESTION IN ETHIcs.-In a

told Sandy (for it was Sandy Jenkins), that /
was hungry, wanted something to eat, but
that had religious scruples against helping
myself to that turkey. knew that he was a
praying man. God-fcaring man, and wanted
his advice on the subject. He told me it was
rather ticklish question in ethics. There was
some risk about it, but so far as the act itself
was concerned, it was perfectly legitimate.
He said you are your masters property? Yes,
saidI. That turkey your masters property
Yes. If you put that turkey into you, that
turkey does not cease to be your masters pro-
perty, but only adds to the value of the pro-
perty in another form. So it was simply a
question of removal. | said that it stood to
reason, and helped myself"

An AER0NAUT,s EXPERIENCE.
WELL NIGH FROZEN TO DEATH--A NARROW
ESCAPE.

Russell Fuller, a young balloonist who made
an ascension from Rome, ~, ON Saturday,
Nov. 9th, describes the trip as follows:

words "let go y were given, and the beauti-
full little balloon Chenango, mounted majes-

irregular surface of silver. l looked below

dominant color of which was green, laid out
in squares, interspersed with glittering, crook
ed streams, and the tints of forest, which at
this season of the year are Of reddish brown.
In circle of about one hundred miles / could
see cities and villages-fairy palaces they
seemed to me- however, some Of them looked
no larger than my hand. In a very fow min

perfectly level; every object had faded. l
heard faint whistle from q locomotive in the
great gulf below. The balloon Turned around.

seconds was above the snow again. The
balloon turned and had mounted through
another thick range of clouds. had COM

All was silent. The sun was shining brightly

cave surface were great pearl colored clouds,

ing, but could not long enjoy it. Soon l
felt a ringing sensation in my head, seemed
to be suffocating. I attempted to open one
valve. noticed that the valve cord was stiff

PRoFANE SwEARINa.--It is astonishing
how many persons are found in every COM
mupity guilty of this abominable habit. Some
seem to think it exceedingly smart to indulge
init, and never let an opportunity slip to show
you how well they can rattle off the oatIss.
The practice is simply detestable, and to those
who observe the commandment which forbids
the "taking of the name of the Lord in vain,
it is offensive in the highest sense of the word.
A true gentleman will not violate the Third
commandment any sooner than he would other
portions of the Decalogue.

POETRY
TIE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear no more the Changing hoof
And the stage coach rattling by
For the steam-king rules the travel world,
And the old pixies left to die.
The grape creeps DER the finty path,
And the stealthy daisies steal
Where once the stage-horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel
No more the weary stager breads
The toll of the coming morn;
No more the bustling landlord runs
AT the sound Of the echoing horn;
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the hright-eyed children play
Where once the gathering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more we hear the cracking whip
And the strong wheels ruinbling sound;
And ah | the water drives on,
And an iron horse is found 4=
The coach stands rttsting in the yard,
The horse has sought the pillow;
We have SPAWNED the world with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us now.
The old turnpike is pike no more,
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made road for our horse to stride,
And we ride at flying rate;
We have filled the valleys and leveled the hills,
And tunneled the mountain SIDE
Around the rough crag's dizzy verge
Fearlessly now we ride.
On, on, on, with naughty front,
A puff, a shrek and a bound;
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound;
And the old pike road is left alone,
And stagers seek the pillow;
We have circled the earth with an iron rail,
And the steam-king rules us now.

Khedive of Egypt is probably the richest man
IN the world. His yearly income is $5o, 900, Oco.

ces within the walls of Cairo. He is vastly
more progressive than the Sultan, his Turkish
master; is rapidly extending his dominons,
building railroads, and making commercial
improvements, and will ultimately become indie
pendent of the Turkish dominion He is at
present making arrangements for the coustruc-
ton of railroad up the Nile to DongoIa, and
thence across the desert to London. which
country ne will make one of his own provinces.
1thas been remarked of him that the Viceroy.
upon any throne in Europe, would be the
greatest monarch of the age. He is not only
prince, but a merchant a capitalist, a states
man, and a cultivator. He sleeps only four
hours of twenty -four, and at his desk center
his railroad, steamship lines, telegraphs,
postal service, private estates, sugar mills,
cotton mills, army, navy and civil service.

that birds fly by some power distinct from any

justified in believing that the bird may be

as surely as the swiftest animals are surpassed

THERE Is NO DEATH.

The following lines by Bulwer, often repeated by
the late William II. Seward. They the favorites o.
his beloved daughter Fanny, who died in 1885,:
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown,
They shine forever more.
There is no DEATH An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then call them dead
Born unto that uhdying life,
They leave but to come again;
With Joy welcome them--the same
Except in sin and pain.
And even near as though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there is no death
