How softly on the bruised heart
A word of kindness falls,
And to the dry and parched soul
The moistening tear-drop calls;-
Oh; if they knew who walked the earth:
Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power a word of kindness hath,
Twere paradise again.
The Weakest and the poorest may

Ana bid delight to withered hearts
Return again and live
Oh, what is life if love be lost,

Oh what the heaven that waits beyond
This brief and mortal span7
As stars upon the tranquil

Reflect the source divine;
Oh; then be kind, whoe'r thou art

And it shall brighten all thy life.

preferred by many to so SOW it, on the
snow, as then it can be more easily seen
that the seed is regularly Distributed.
it will gradually sink with the melting
Of the snow into the earth--qr if this is
not done, from wantof opportunity or
inclination to SOW early, it Is better to
wait until, by theabsence of frost, the
earth has become firm and warm, when
the seed can be sown and rolled in. If
You intend sowing clover seed with
your Oats, the operation can be per
formed when that grain is put in the
oats to be narrowed and cross-harowed

til the oats are two or three inches

TINKERING FREIGHTs.-The mania for
tinkerlng freights and settling the laws of
trade and commerce by statutory enact
ments, is common in legislative bodies. The
most notable instance of this is in Illinois
where the Legislature set about reform,
which has proved to be quite the reverse.
The farmers desired relief from railroad ex-
tortions. The Legislature granted it by the
passage of a law which is more vexatious
than the situation it was destined to remedy.
No benefit accrues to Illinois, while Chicago
is directly and largely damaged, and st.
Louis and Cincinnati are benefited. The
Mississippi River becomes Rubicon beyond
which, trade fears to pass. The rates in
Illinois are raised, because the way business
cannot be done at the rate formerly charged
for through business. Nebraska, which
lately traded with Chicago, now does it's
traffic in St. Louis, and Omaha has deserted
the lumber yards of the Lake City for the
delightful boards of Oshkosh. Formerly,
only an occasional car load of cattle came
to St. Louis from Nebraska, but since the
fatal first of July, when the new code went
into operation, out of two hundred and
forty-six car loads of cattle which came
from Nebraska, all but six went to the St.
Louis market. The folly of Legislative
tinkering is thus shown conclusively, and it
is very evident that if law can accomplish
any good, it must be general law, and not
the feeble and partial statute of a single
commonwealth, Com. Id.

The Library of the Sunday School con-

ket, is to be furnished the school as soon as
it can be secured, the whole at an expense
of over 1915.

The steamer City Point, which al
rived at New York on Thursday morn
ing of last week from Delaware bay with
q cargo of peaches, had rough passage.
She left Delaware bay at five o'clock
on Wednesday evening, and encoun-
tered the storm about twenty-five OIL
thirty miles below Long Branch, the
wind blowing directly off shore. She
had come one hundred miles of her
distance, and had much the shortest
part to make yet, so that it was not
practicable to turn back; besides, if she
had done so the wind would have been
just the same as coming, as it was from
off her beam. The seas swept hel
forecastle decks, and ran up SO high
that in order to secure the safety o1
all on board it was found necessary to
throw overheard between 500, and
1000 crates of peaches.

A QUAKER IN THE BRITISH CABINET
Mr.. Moncure D. Conway, gives a bit of un-
written history connected with John Bright's
entrance into office. When Mr.. Gladstone
was arranging the cabinet of which Mr..
Bright became member, he said to the
Queen: 81 shall have to call Mr.. Bright"
The Queen said: "Do you think have any
objection to Mr.. Bright. I shall never cease
to be grateful to him for his defense of me
in popular meeting" When Gladstone
went to Bright, the latter said he did not
wish to hold Office. "But you must" said
Gladstone, adding humorously, ''you have
got US into this fix, and must see US through
with it, He then offered Bright any post
he wished to occupy, and the statesman Sc
lected the lowest in point of salary-the
Board of Trade, with e2000-because, he
said, she knew something aboutit.' When,
according to custom, he went to Windsor to
be sworn in the Queens presence, an elegant
luncheon had been prepared. While Mr..
Bright was at luncheon, page came to say
to him, that in the ensuing ceremony, her
Majesty was anxious to dispense with any
form, which was in any way, contrary to
his (Mr. Bright's) views or feelings, and
that the usual kneeling and kissing her hand
might be dispensed with, as it was. When
Mr.. Bright entered the presence of the
Queen, she shook hands with him heartily.
The Crown Princess of Prussia was present,
him that she and her mother and sisters
and brothers, had always remembered with
gratitude his defense of her against Mr..
Ayrton's criticisms. They then fell into
pleasant conversation, in which Mr.. Bright
showed more adoption to some of the COM
plimentary ways of courts than his Quaker
habits would lead one to suspect.

PATENT MEDrcrNEs.-The country is

PATENT MEDICINES country is
drugged with all kinds of patent medicines,
most of which are worse than useless, be-
cause they do actual harm instead of good.
Men engaged in the manufacture and sale
of medicine, which they recommend as sure
cure for all diseases, know no more about
the requirements of the human system
when diseased, than ''the man in the moon"
If they can persuade publishers throughout
the country, through some unreliable agen-
cy, to advertize their quack nostrums, until
they make fortune out of them, it is for
tunate for the medicine venders. If the
public ascertain before the end of the year,
that the medicines are worthless, and re-
fuse to purchase them, the advertisement is
withdrawn, and the publisher humbugged.
There is another class of medicines, adver-
tised for years in succession, which stand
the test while hundreds of others spring up
like mushrooms, and pass out of existence
almost as suddenly. Among those mover
known to fail are Thompson's Fever and
Ague Powders, Jamaica Ginger, Rheumatic
and Horse Liniment, Diarrh@a Syrup, Yer
mifuge and other valuable medicines; pre-
pared only by Crawford & Fobes, wholesale
druggists, 141 Market Street, Philadelphia.
The firm is composed of honorable and re-
liable gentlemen, who deal in nothing but
genuine articles; and whateveris recommen-
ded from their establishment can be relied
upon. Our readers will find their medicines
advertised in another column. They are
sold extensively in this county by Swing &
Tomlinson, of FairtoE, and others, and
should be in every store in the county where
medicines are sold. Inquire Of your store

and if he has not supply, request him to
