A GooD THING DULY APPRECIATED.
No beneficial revolution ever goes back
ward; and this maxim is as in variable in
medicine as in politics. The advent of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, twenty
years ago, produced revolution in the
treatmentof a large class Of ailments,
and that revolution has ever since been
in the "full tide OF successful expert.
ment." II that tide has borne the pro.
prietors of the celebrated vegetable
specific ''on to fortune" it has also
borne thousands OF human beings, who
were languishing under the effects of
disease. weak and hopeless, out of the
depths of despondenoy into the paradise
of health and oheerfuluess. It is no
e1aggeration to say, that to the vigor,.
the regularity of habit of body, the
good. appetite and perfect digestion,
acquired under the operation OF this
unequaled tonic and corrective, multi
tudes of people in every walk of life,
who lad been vainly physicked in the
usual way, owe the blessings OF renewed
health and the prospect of prolonged
life. .'a .N4e- ~ J5f3

Lyons. from aSing Sing Prison. about
two weeks ago. when, on the strength 81
Q bogus Telegram, they sent thes warden
and clerk toiNsw York, and thus made
themselves masters Of the situation, it
is the audacity evinced by Sophia Lyons,
wife OF the last t-named convict, who es-
oaped from the female prison, on Thurs
day evening. As in the case OF her hus-
band, the manner of getting away had
been we'll planned, and. all possibilities
OF Illustration duly considered and pro.
vided Tor. The woman Lyons, together
with another female convict, was en-
ployed in the culinary, department Of
the prison, and in that capacity. was not
scoustomed to be looked up 80 early in
the evening as the other inmates. Shortly
after nightfall on the day named, vehi-
ole drove to the prison, and the driver
alighting, knocked loudly ut the door.
The summons was answered by Mrs.
Lyons, who, taking basket of fruit
from the visitor, handed it to her COM
panion, saying that it contained delica-
cies for the hospital, and requested her
to take it up stairs forthwith. The 9th. r
woman. not suspecting anything wrong,
left to deliver tho package, and in an in
stant afterwards, another female convict,
who happened to be near the door, saw
the stranger throw cloak over the
shoulders of Mrs. Lyons and lift her
bodily into the carriage, which then
dsove rapidly from the scene. 1t is said
that an alarm was Immediately given,
but all efforts to overtake the fugitives
were unavailipg.
Sophia Lyons had served about one
year OF her second terra in \the prison
for grand larceny. She belongs to q
family which appears to be stepped in
crime, herself and husband being at this
moment escaped felons, while her mother
is sill undergoing sentence in the pri-
son, her son expiating his crimes in q
similnr institution in Connecticut, and a
daughter at present enjoying the hospi-
alities Of Blackwell's Island.

! A LlrU e COMPOSITION ON THE WHEEL.
BARRow.-The Danbury Ne,osn,an says:
II you have occasion to use a wheel
barrow, leave it, when you are through
with 1t, in front of the house with the
handles toward the door. A wheelbar-
row is the most complicated thing to fall
over on the face of the earth. A man
will fall over one when he would never
think of falling over anything else. He
never knows when has got through fall
ing over it, either; for it will tangle his
legs and his arms, turn over with him
and rear UP in front of him, and Just as
he pauses in his, profanity to congratu-
late himself, it takes O new turn and
scoops more skin off Of him, and he
commences to evolute anew and bump
himself in fresh places. A man never
ceases to fall over wheelbarrow until it
turns completely on its back, or brings
up against something it cannot upset.
It is the most inoffensive looking object
there Is, but it is more dangerous than a
locomotive, and no man is secure with
ono unless he has tight hold Of its
handles and is sitting down on some
thing. A wheelbarrow has its uses.
without doubt, but in its leisure mo.
ments it is the greatest blighting curse
on true dignity.

A. PAIR OF LAVENDER Bn1pEs.-Eii
Perkins, of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, is ION the wing" he
stopped at Homer the other morning for
breakfast, and had tho good fortune to
meet "qnartette bridal party" of which
This morning, at the Syracuse House,
breakfasted with pair Of brides and a
pair of bridegrooms-a sort of bridal
quartette. They were from Cortland, I
think, ia the country. I knew they
were just married, from O variety Of
reasons. First, when they aighted from
the omnibus to enter the hotel both
young ladies took the arms OF the gen
tlemen, who said, "Dear, let me carry
your satchel." Just behind them came
some old married people. I knew they
had been married some time, for the
men pounoed out, starting, luggage in
hand, straight for the hotel, leaving
their wives with small satchels to follow,
single file, behind thom. At breakfast
the brides appeared in bridal lavender.
Everything was lavender-lavende
dresses lavender hats, with lavender
strings, and lavender gloves. If ever I
get married Mrs. Perkins shall wear iii
sue pleases) suit of plain black, and
| theu we can en- 10y our honeymoon in
peace. The young husbands both wore
broadcloth suits and black hats Both
wore paper collars and cuffs, aud one
wore paper shirt bosom. Alas! what
shock such deception must be TO q
young and guileless wife! Why, in my
opinion, d paper collar is no more indi-
cation Of a real shirt than clothes-Iine.
at breakfast these young husbands
didn't help themselves first when they
sat down at tke table, but they turned to
the brides III lavender, and said lovingly:
"Have roll, dear?' Then they put
some butter on tho lavender brides
plates, and they looked up and said
"Thank you, dear" with O smile too
happy to describe. When breakfast was
over one of the bound husbands smiled
swectly aud said:
"Now, darling, can't T smoke Just
once--yon know you said might"
| "Yes, Charley, just once!" and then
tho two brides stood and looked yacantly
out Of the windows till their sweet-hearts
came back.
When the old married people sat down
there was different scene The old fol-
lows scooped in their beefsteak and
sausage. never looking up to see how
their wives were getting along and when
they got through they shutIled off into
the reading room and loaded up mcer-
schaum pipes with the strongest caven-
dish. Then they talked politics, ex-
pectorating on tho stove and around the
zinc stove mat, without once thinking of
their poor wives, who were left 10
amuse themselves with neighborhood
gossip.
