Caugil. are Curative.

It.is nature cure, and to smother
cough without removing what causes
it, is to hin der nature, and t Ike away
all chance of cure. When a man
clearly has consumption, coughs a
great deal, has been bringing up yel
low matter for a long time, if his
cough should subside he will inevita
bly, die in three or four days; be-
cause the cough helps to bring that
matter out of the lungs, and keep
them clear; but when the cough be
comes so weak or SO unfrequent a.
not to remove tde matter as fast as II
is formed, the lungs begin to fill with
it, ar cannot get in, and life ends.
The only hope of curing consump
ton is to promote cough on the one
hand, so as to get the lungs clear OF
the matter in them, and prevent the
formation Of more. But the popular
sentiment is, that in proportion as
there is less cough, the chances OF
life are in reasing, and willingly and
hop fully the Patient takes what
''cures bis cough" and is thus led a
willing victim to the grave of his OWL
digging. So much are mtn, with ali
their boasted intelligence, like the
silly creature winch feels itself safe
when it can hide its head in a hole
to be crushed the next instant in the
jaws of its relentless pursuer.-[ Halls

He rose IN the morning the first of

chapel, but found no one of his as

or four in the house all were asleep.
Il preached myself" writes the old
man Of eighty-four. When he COM
planned, his assistants urged that
they were up late the night before.
He made it a rule that every one in
the house should retire at nine, in
order to attend the morning service
at five. At eighty-six Wesley. admit
ted the weight of years. His eyes,
he sand, were dim, his voice faint; he
could no longer keep his accounts or
his journal. He travelled almost to
the last, and was followed by the
Thongs, who-neger deserted him. In
the spring of 1871 he was brought to
uis house IN City Road, stricken with
/ fever. On the % of March he
died, surrounded by a group Of
friends. When he was dead they
broke into a psalm Of praise. His
Jun raj, at five in the morning, was
attended by vast throng, and SER
mon was preached in memory of his
good deeds in City Road Chapel,
when the church was hung with
mourning, and every member Of the
great audience, except one, who took
the blue ribbon from her hat when
she saw her error, was clothed in
black. City Road Chapel is Wes-

Capt. SurmOnt Of s'ihp Vile Du
fEaVre,''

In 1870 we crossed the Atlantic in
''The Vile du Paris" unler the COM
mand of Capt. Surmont, who was
also the captain of 1.-The Vile du
Havre when she was lost. There
was not more than one pleasant day
during the voyage; and most of the
time from Sandy Hook to Brest the
ship was shrouded in a dense fog
Day after day, san.l night after night,
the hoarse fog-whistle sounded; but
the steamer went on her way at full
speed We met a gentleman with
whom we had once before crossed
the Atlantic. He spoke of the peril
of orr situ4tien one evening when
we were off the Grand Banks in the
heavy fog.
"We rush ahead, and the next in
slant we may all go to the bottom,
be said. We added, that in case OF
COLI sion it would be safer for our
ship than if she stopped or "slowed
down" This is the general opinion.
During the passage we saw Capt.
Surnont in the cabin but once.
Then he sat at the dinner table for n
few moments. We never saw him
flirting with the ladies" as we have
other captains; but day or night he
WAS On the bridge. We often walked
forward on the hurricane deck in the
evening, and always saw the stalwa1t
captain at the extreme weather end
OF the bridge, locking out into the
solid mass of fog. Other passengers
who visited the deck at all hours o
the night declared that he was al
ways in the same position. He was
very umet and gentlt manly; but h'
was most devoted to his duty Of al

Good Ady.e- 4. t.range ers.


A cotemporlry raises its voice in
timely warning to the Grangers, as
10 lows:
'The' Farmers Oranges in some
places in the West, are likely to get
themselves into trouble, through the
infnence of the shysters that have
been suffered to enter them. In
Iowa a resolution was passed by
their State Convention that all in
debtedLess of Individuals shall be de-
du ted from their list oftaxahle prop
erty. This matter is now being dis
cussed pro and con with a good deal
of bitter feeling. There is no dis
guising the fact, that if such a law
were passed it would open food
gate of corruption such as the coun-
try has never yet seen. There could
not be property enough placed upon
the duplicate of any county to pay
the salaries of the officers, and the
lands, in witch the farmers are most
interested, would have to bear the
burden of taxation.
an Illinois, many of the oranges
are resolving for free trade. This is
not done by the farmers proper, but
it is done by the political trieksttrs
that have CT, pit into the oranges un-
awares. Any farmer can see at a
glance, if we are to have the doctrine
of free trade foistel upon us-that
| is, all tariff taken off of foreign pro
,iuctions, to the drtriment of our own
manufacturers, tnat it will be con-
slant drain of our specie to foreign
countries, whi.e it would send count
less t ousands Of our manufacturers
and those dependent upon t1em for
.abor to farming for living. This
would be poor economy for the farm,
er, to voluntarily suffer himself to
give countenance to principle that
would compel so many lr;Idesmen t.
become competitors in farming In
steal of being consumers. Our ad
vice to all farmers who wish to entel
! the oranges is, to keep aloof from al
shysters, who would use their posl
ton only to play the demagogue. L
the grange is to be made lasting, i
must be kept pure from all outside
J influences that design to drag it from
its original and legitimate designs.

severely bruised by a slamming car
door, on our way here. She cannot

and it is much iIlAamed, causing her
great pain. Adoctor has been called
in, who expresses fear as to the re-
suit, unless ssea1 care is taken. But
he is noted for making a case appear
worse than it really is, and we are
not alarmed"
There was some delay in the next
letter, causing the simple and conf

fears:

tiVcH,

DIR William Koch, of Berlin, well
known to the specialists from his in
yestigations in the domain of modern
surgery, and from his treatise on
gun shot fractures, has discovered a
new method of treatment for con-
sumption. It consists in bealing up
the Infected portions of the lungs by
injections of iodine, so as to check
the progress of fostering, which is
tie origin of the disease. The treat
ment has been tested in the great
hospitals OF Berlin within a short
time, among others at the Royal
Charity, in the presence of the most
eminent surgeons. All the reports
of the cases in which this treatment
has been administered are favorable
and hold out a promise of a complete
cure. For many years DIR. Koch has
BEEN trying the experiment with ami
mails, having tested it with more thar
three hundred, at a vast outlay o
time and money.

Both history and statictics estab-
lish the fact that no exclusively agri-
cultural community ever yet enjoyed
the benefits of an ext nded mercan-
tile marine. Railways for the trans
port of its raw material to market
were a necessity; yet these rarely
paid their stockholders, and never as
well in region Of Observation-Disclosures
as in manufacturing communities.
The great famines of the world
have ever prevailed, strange as it
may seem, in countries and in regions
given up exclusively, or almost so,
to agricultural production. The
great circles of starvation have been,
in the East, in India, China, and
Persia; in the West, in Ireland and
Northeastern PsnssiA The reasons
for this are too obvious to dilate
upon. The reverse of the rule En-.
gland has ever presented, owing to
the diversity of her industries, and
the vast and varied field covered by
her labors. The lessen she taught
the world during the earlier years Of
our war, WHEN she was able to sup
port in idleness her great masses OF
mill workers, while the Southern cot
ton famine tried to force her out of
neutrality, was a most striking and
effectual one. Yet there are other
lessons on this very pointto be learn
ed from England, which the South
should lay well to heart. More than
sixty years ago Arthur Young made
his famous agricultural tour over En-
gland, and first discovered and re-
veaIed the fact that in all the north
ern distr cts of the coal region,
wherein mining and manufacturing
enterprise aiternated with agricultur-
al labor, the wages of the agricultur-
al laborers were fully thirty-three
per cent. higher than in the southern
counties, where the labor was exclu-
sively agricultural. A late writer,
one of the highest modern English
authorities, Mr.. Card, confirms and
adds to this statement by his report
of survey he has made of thirty En-
glish counties from an agricultural
point of view, including both the
northern coal and southern agricul-
tur;,l districts ofEn3land. Hestates
that in twelve northern counties the
wages of an agricu tural laborer ay-
erage $3.50 per week, while in eigh-
teen southern or purely agricultural
counties the weekly wages did not
average more than S204, making
v,ri; ton of thirty-seven per cent. In
favor of the manufacturing districts
He fur her states that the line Of va
ration is distinctly drawn at the
point where the coal ceases to be
found, an1 the exclusively agricultur-
al region commences During the
intervening period of Mr.. YOungs
and Mr.. Cards surveys the rate OF
wages in the north of England had
increased sixty-six per cent, and but
fourteen per cent. in the south-a
startling difference as to increasing
ratio. Yet the points thus contrast

furthest extremes were not tmore than
200 miles apart--[From ''The New
