Duty of Rest.

THERE Is folso idoo prevalent about
resting enough in the few weeks of the
summer to last the year. However full of
delight and peace the lazy hours in the
country, however freighted with rest and
strength the long days by the sea- we can
not hoard and carry away enough of the
precious store. Every twenty-four hours
is circle of its own in which to tear
down and build up, and whatever is spent
between one sundown and another must be
made good from food, recreation and rest,
and whoever commences the morning al
ready tired is spending too much some
where and will find that system of paying
natures past debts by drawing on the fu-
ture will make him bankrupt. But we
do not need to wait till in the fullness OF
time we can join the throng at watering
places To any one unless shut up be-
tween four brick walls, if there belong a
green spot somewhere around the house,
| if he can sit at least under one vine and
| fig tree of his own there is at hand n per
RENAL spring, if he but knows how to
drink of it, Perhaps you will say Il can
not stop to rest | have no time ] will
| by and by, but now | must do my work. ~
All but are you sure of your by and by
the one this side of eternity mean? Are
you not doing the very thing now that
may lose it for you, or if entered upon,
will it not, instead of being spent in rest,
as you fondly hope, be spent rather in
vain regrets for the strength so unwisely
and hopelessly lost? Moreover what is
this work you must be always doingg Ii
to do good is your ruling motive, have
you not learned that it is what you are as
well as what you do that blesses the
world? and though the toll Of your hands
is worth much, beautiful spirit of good
cheer surrounding you is worth more
and you are not becoming the best you
might be if you have no time to entertain
this spirit Of rest and strength which can
not live with weariness.-HerdM O

1t is a subject of general remark among both
Wholesale and retail druggists, that no medi-
cine introduced to the American public has
ever gained such a popularity and met with so
lgge a sale in all parts Of the land, In the same
length of time, as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This cannot depend upon its hav
ing been more largely advertised than any other
medicine, as such is not the case. The correct
explanation, we think, is found in the fact that
this medicine produces the most wonderful and
perfect cures of very bad cases of bronchial,
throat and lung diseases, Is undoubtedly the
most perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds
Of coughs that has ever been introduced TO the
public, and at the same time possesses the
greatest of blood purifying and strengthening
properties that medical science has been able
10 produce, thus rendering it Il sovereign rem
ely not only in the cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs, but also
for all diseases of the liver and blood, as scrof-
uous diseases, blotches, rough skin, pimples,
lack specks and dscolorations. 1t has there
fore wide range of application and useful
ness, and it not only gives the most perfect
satisfaction to all who use 1t, but far exceed:
the expectations of the most sanguine, thus
dieting the loudest praise, and making per
nanent iiying advertising mediums of all who
Use il. For these reasons it is that there i:
not perhaps a druggist in all the vast domain
Of this Continent, who tries to please his Gus
toners and supply their wants, that does no
keep and sell large quantities of this most val
uable medicine. %

An Eccentric Englishman's Will.

AN extraordinary will case was recently
tried in London. The plaintiffs are the
children of an eccentric testatOr, who be-
queathed his family estate away from his
own children to an utter stranger. The
children endeavored to show that the
father was insane, and testified to his
strange conduct during his lifetime. One
of the sons could remember on two Occa-
sions being tied by the feet to the han
die of the door and thrashed. On another
occasion his father tied rope round his
neck, held the end of it, made him ran
around the room, and thrashed him as he
went round, When living at Brussels he
had known his father walk up and down
the front of the house all night with load
ed pistols, and one evening while the ser
wants were at church his father insisted
that there were robbers in the house and
took his blunderbuss to shoot them. 1t
was all delusion, There was no noise
whatever about the place. On another
occasion he insisted that he heard people
whistling outside the house and went out
with loaded blunderbuss. On one occa-
sion during the six weeks he was referring
to his brother and himself went with
some ladies to the theater, and, out of
spite or some motive or other, his father
dressed the housemaid up as a first-class
lady of fashion and sent her to occupy the
next box to them. They had to change
their seats in consequence. His father
always kept lot of firearms in the house,
generally loaded. He always kept a
loaded blunderbuss in his slttingToom.
There was also a needle.gun, several revol-
vers, and a number of bayonets. This
testimony being corroborated by other
members of the family, the win was
broken, and the children become heirs to
estates valued at e5OO0 0OO--HalVar (N 81

Onions and ad-MakIRg.

AT recent meeting of the property
owners of Germantown, Penn, the use
lessness of the Germantown turnpike in its
present condition was under discussion
and novel plan for its improvement was
advanced by Mr. Eleazer Wright. He
said he and few friends had examined
the mud on the road, and found it just the
thing for raising a crop of onions. They
were willing to offer $4,000 year for the
privilege of using half the width of the
roadway for this purpose from Chestnut
Hill down to Carpenter street. The
tenants will inclose their part with high
board fence at their own cost. The propo
sition is to let the onion company have
this half for four years. This will give
$4,000, and the money will then be used
for placing that part in first-rate order.
The other half will then be put TO onions,
and another 100000 raised, which is to be
expended in like manner, and thus, at an
outlay of $4,000 not one cent of which
will come out of the citizens pockets, the
road will become one ofthe finest in Phila-
delphia, and one of the most attractive if
the odor of onions does not become too
strong. Mr. Wrights suggestion was
adopted, and committee appointed to see
to the execution of the plan,

idly as is consistent with good government, the
maintenance OF our public credit, and certain ex-
tinguishment of the State and National debt.
FOurth-That the public lands belong TO the peo-
Pile and should be sacredly reserved for homes Of
actual settlers, and we pronounce against all fur
ther grants of these lands to corporations
FiJU-That adequate provision should be made
by law for the protection Of persons engaged in
mining and other hazardous forms Of labor.
SiCth-That the producing, commercial and in
dustrial interests Of the country should have the

transit whether by rail OF otherwise, should be per
mitted the right Of reasonable remuneration, al
