Eating Without an Appetite.

1t is wrong to eat without an appe-
tite, for it shows there is no gastric
juice in the stomach, and that nature
does not need food, and not needing it,
there being no fluid to receive and act
upon it, it remains there only to putri-
fy, the very thought of which should
be sufficient to deter any man from
eating without an appetite for the re-
mainder Of his life. If a tonic is taken
to whet the appetite it is mistaken
course, for its only result is to cause
one to eat more, when already an a
mount has been eaten beyond what the
gastric juice is able to prepare.
The object to be obtained is larger
supply of gestric juice, pot a.larger sup
ply of food and whatever fails to have
any efficiency toward the cure of dys-
peptic diseases. The formation of gas
trio juice is directly proportioned to
the wear and tear of the system, which
is to be the means of supplying, and
this wear and tear can only be the re-
suit of exercise. The efficient remedy
for dyspepsiais work-out-door work
beneficial and successful in direct pro-
portion as it is agreeable, interesting
and proftable.-H0lps Journal of

Cooperation Among Farmers.

In late number of the report from
the Agricultural Bureau, the follow
ing tfuisms are presented:
The word Combination seems to
have acquired wicked significance, in
the view of some farmers. Let them
use instead Incorporation" if they pre-
fer it; but they must remember that
there is no human being entirely inde-
pendent of all others. Without asso-
citation there would be neither churches
nor schools, government nor social in
stitutions. In other industries a large
portion of the work done and profits
made are through associated effort
There may be association for duty as
well as for deviltry. There is no rea-
son why comparative isolation should
lead to positive hermitage. A great
enlargement of American dairying has
come from association; the monthly
gatherings for sales of farm animals in
Madison county, Ohio have saved i'm
mense sums from the clutches of mid
d4cmen; the fndug sttii0n of urur hvi
fairs should be general; association fo1
importing or buying animals Of the
best blood should be more numerous;
there should be a farmers library in
every township in the>land.

It is Better.

Better to wear calico dress without
trimming, if it be paid for, than to owe
the shop-keeper for the most elegant
silk, cut and trimmed in the most be-
witching manner.
Better to live in log cabin all your
own, than a brown stone mansion be-
longing to some one else.
Better walk for ever than run in
debt for horse and carriage.
Better to sit by pine table for which

than send home a new exttens;;ot, hlaeR
walnut top, and promise to pay for it
next week.
Better to-. use the old cane-seated
chairs and faded two-ply carpet, than
tremble at the bills sent home from
your upholsterers for the most ele-
CANT parlor set ever made.
Better meet your business acq1aint-
ance with free don't owe you cent,

Better to pay the street organ grin
der two cents for music, if you must
have it, than to owe for a grand piano.
Better gaze upon bare walls than
pictures unpaid for.
Better eat shin soup from earthen-
ware, you owe your butcher nothing,
than to dine off lamb and roast beef,
and know that it is not paid for.

[sELECTED FOR THE TIMEs.1 I

The following is one of the most remarkable
compositions ever written. 1t evinces an in
genuity peculiarly its own. The initial letters
spell ''My Boast is in the Glorious Cross OF
Christ" The words in italic, when read on
the left hand side from top to bottom, and on
right hand side from bottom to top, form the
Lords Prayer complete
Make known thy Gospel truth our King;
Yield up thy grace, dear Father from above
Bless us with hearts achich feelingly can sing,
'Our life thou art for euer, God of Love-"
Assauge our grief in love, for Christ we pray
Since the Prince of Heaven and Glory died,
Took all our sins, and halloVed the display.
Infant being, first man and then was cruel
Stupendous God thy. grace and po,Oer make
known.
In Jesus name let all the world rejoice,
Now labor in thy heavenly kingdom own
That blessed kingdom for thy saints the choice
How vile to come to thee is all our cry;
Enemies to hy-self and all that's thine;
Graceless our aOW we live for vanity;
Loathing the very being, evil in design
0, God, thy will be done, from earth to heaven;
tReclining on thy gospel, let as live
In earth, from sin deliUer-ed and forgiven.
Oh, as thsself, but teach US to forgive;
Unless its power temptation doth destroy,
Sure is our fall into the depths of woe.
Carnal in mind, we have not glimpse of joy
Raised against HeaOen; in as no hope we know.
O, give us grace, and lead us on the way;
Shine on as with thy love, and give as peace.
Self, and this sin that rise against US, slay,
Oh, grant each day our trespass-es may cease,
Forgive our evil deeds, that oft we do;
Convince US daily of them to our shame;
Help us with heavenly bread, forgive us, too,
Recurrent luSts, and Ve-ll adorn thy name,
In thy forgiveness we as saints can die,
Since for as, and our trespasses so high,
Thy Son, our Savior, died on Calvary.

He was conscious when they took
him up, but there was look in his
face that foretold the end, even before
the doctors did. AS for Groom, he had
been shielded by Joe's body, and tough
and wiry as he was, was scarcely the
worse for the whole adventure. When
he heard what they were saying about
Joe, he burst out with an oath, and
hurried to where he lay.
"Well, Gorton, and how is it with
you?" he said affecting to speak cheer
fully, though. struck at once by that
look of death in the face.
"About as bad as it can be, Mr..
Groom" answered Joe, feebly. "The
old boat and I'll go down together,
reckon"
'"Now, never you talk that stuff, my
man," said Groom, in almost blust-
ering way, perhaps to conceal a GER
tain unsteadiness of voice, 81 owe you
life, and [ amt one to rest till I've
paid it, if it takes all the doctore from
here to Jerieko. I've got means, / tell
ye."
"Nouse, Mr.. Groom" said Joe, ''there
amt no doctor could patch up what's
smashed inside Of me. But look here" :"
and he instinctively lowered his voice,
with a glance at the attendant, though
there was little fear of that broken
whisper reaching any ears but those
close to it, ''it's what wanted to speak
to you about-you owe me life, you
say; mine amt yours to give-but old
Sawyer's is"
| Groom's face darkened. e'I swear
I'd almost rather you asked for my
own," he muttered.
"But you'll promise, Mr.. Groom?''
said Joe, in his eagerness managing to
half raise himself, "you'l promise?' ?''
"Weil-Is'pose amt gotno CHOICE y
answered Groom, still reluctantly;
eyes, I do promise, there's my hand on
it."
A CLEAN of intense delight for the
moment almost drove the death7look
from Joe face. 'sIts all fright, Marcy" j"
r5
he whispered softly to himself, and
! laid his head back again.
Yes, it was all right, as Heaven sees
right. When John Sawyer had been
discharged for want of evidence, when
the Lake Village gossips, wondering
over the strangers disappearance, con-
cluded that his boasts had been mere
idle talk to make a sensation, Marcy
could have told them better. She
knew how it was Joe had died, she
knew that a life had been paid for her
fathers; and in a heart softened by
pain she acknowledged that her pray
er had been answered in Gods own
way.

came into Mr.. Ms store with very an

"Mr. M.," said the angry country

I bought 'em of, pointing to John.
"John," said Mr.. NJ, ''did you sell
this man walnuts for nutmegs?"
"No," was the ready reply.
"You lie, you little villain" said the
countryman, still more enraged at his
assurance.
"Now, look here" said John. eff

your nutmegs, you would have found

WHAT IS A FRIEND?
TO MY FRIENDS OF NANJEMoY; AT JOY GOTTA

TO MY FRIENDS OF NANJEMoY; AT JOY COTTAGE
What is friend? IT'S one whose heart
Is kindly towards you all the while,
Not one who simply plays the part
Of friend, while fortune seems to smile;
But cold when gloom enshrouds your soul.
Who is your friend? IT'S he who tries
To do you all the good he can,
Not one of fashions butterflies;
Bnt one who always proves man
When you do wrong, or money fails,
Or when the slanderous tongue assails.
What is the value of a friend
One good, and true, and just, and kind !?
His price know not; l contend
That such one is hard to find;
But there is such, prize them well,
Their value it is hard to tell.

How Plants Grow from Seeds.

In every seed (says Prof. Tyndall to
the children) there is a tiny plant con-
sisting of root, stem and two leaves,
surrounded by dry, starchy matter.
You may see this for yourselves if you
soak a morning glory seed in hot wa
ter. The dry, black hull grows soft,
swells, and presently two little leaves
appear. If you open the seed careful
ly, you will find the tiny root and the
starchy matter soften by the heat into
jelly. Now, I will tell you what that
starch is for. Little plants have to eat
in order to grow big, just as children
do; the difference being that plants
have mouths all over them, and eat all
the time. When you SOW seed, the heat
and moisture of the earth soften the
dry starch into a jelly, then into a
milky liquid; this the plant in the seed,
root, leaves and all, drinks up. So much
food causes the leaves to grow too big
and their stem too long for the seed to
hold them; so they burst the hull, and
keep on drinking and growing until
they push their way into the air. In
the same manner, the root works it's
way into the ground. By the time all
the liquid has been drunk, another leaf
has unfolded, and shoot has branch
ed off from the root. So now you see
why the starch was in the seed. It
was to feed the plant until it was
strong enough to obtain food for itself
the roots from the earth, and the
leaves from the sun and air. The rea-
son, too, for its being hard, and unfit
to eat until softened in the ground, is
that the plant may be kept from try
ing to, grow at the wrong time-as
when you store it away in the winter.
$50, this is the way, children" con-
cludes the Professor, "that the seed
you now put in the ground grows into
a big plant that bears flowers in the
summer, in which there are other seeds
with plants in the them for you to
sow next year"
g What wonderful thing love is
to woman! How it helps her to know
that some one is always fond of her ;
that rejoices when she rejoices and sor-
rows when she grieves; to be sure that
her faults are loved, and that her face
is fairer, to one, at least, than faces
that are far more beautiful-that one
great heart holds her sacred in it's in
nermost recesses above all women
She can do anything, be anything, suf-
fer anything, thus upheld. She grows
prettier under the sweet influence,
brighter, kinder, stronger; and life
seems but a foretaste of heaven, and all
of her dreams are gold.

LONDON, Sept. 81, 1873.
At the session of the British Association, at
Bradford, yesterday, Captain Markham, of the
Royal Navy, who was on board the Arctic
when she received the men rescued from the
Polaris, gave detailed account of the voyage
of Captain Hall, which he gathered from the
members of the expedition.
He said ''the Polaris occupied only five days
in making the distance from Cape Shakleton
northward to latitude 82 deg. 16 min. This
was the nearest point to the North Pole ever
reached by civilized man. The ice was soft
all the way, and stronger vessel could have
attained much higher latitude
The London Observer to-day closes o eu-
Iogy on the late Captain Hall as follows:-
