Presence of Mind.


Prof. Wilder gives these short rules
for action In case of accident For dust
in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash water
into them; remove cinders, ETC., with
the round point of lead pencil. Re
moveinsects from the ear by tepid water;
never put a hard instrument into the
ear. If an artery Is cut, compress above
the wound if a vein is cut, compress
below. If choked, get upon all tours,
and cough. For light burns, dip the
part IN cold water; If the skin is de-
stroyed, cover with varnish. Smother
a fire with carpets, ETC.; water viii often
spread burning oil, and increase the
danger. Before passing through smoke,
take a full breath, and then stoop low,
but Il carbon suspected, walk erect.
Suck poison wounds, unless your mouth
is sore. Enlarge the wound, or, better,
cut out the part without delay. Hold
the wounded part as long as can be
borne TO a hot coal, or end of a cigar. In
case Of poisoning, excite vomiting by
tickling the throat, or by water or mus
tGrd. For acid poisons, give acids in
case of opium poisoning, give strong
coffee and keep moving. If in water,
float on the back, with the nose and
mouth projecting. For apoplexy, raise
the head and body; for faintins, lay
the person fiat.

What the MOrmons viii Do.

Beadle, a correspondent of the Gin
ciunati Commercial, writes from Salt
Lake City: "Under the Poland bill
man convicted OF bigamy has an appeal
to the United States supreme court:
under the territorial statute there is no
such remedy. No doubt the final result
will be as the most conservative could
wish while nobody will be very much
hurt, yet there will be a steady and in
creasing pressure on polygamy, which
will check and put it in the course of
ultimate exiHction. ''I occasionally see
a statement in some eastern paper that
the Saints will fight before they will
abandon polygamy, which is calculated
TO make a man smile who knows their
tricks. They have already surrendered
the only tenable ground on which they
ever stood. Two years ago the Mormon
people unanimously voted for a state
constitution forever prohibiting polyga-
my and bigamy, and hints already
reach us that they are willing to do the
same thing again. And here is how
they justify such change of base In
one of the vOiuminous revelations of
Joseph Smith occurs this convenient
clause Nevertheless, if your enemies
come in upon you that you be not able to
perform these things, then I, the Lord,
viii lot require them at your hands,
but ye shall be freed from the covenant
We have ma e, and shall not per-
form these things but 1, the Lord,
will still request it of yonr enemies
etc. Observe that the Lord, with
that accommodating spirit He always
exhibited towards the Saints, proposes
to let tn N of whenever the Gentiles
make it hot for them, and take the will
for the deed. When the state organiza-
ton on the compromise basis was sug-
gested this text was quoted by all the
elders, and the people were soon per-
suaded that If the United States would
assume the responsibility of compelling
them to do sO-as one apostle expressed
it, take the shower of Gods wrath for
disobedience it would be perfectly
right for them to abandon polygamy.
have little doubt that if the PROPOSE
ton was made to the leaders tomorrow,
that all past offences of every kind
should be condoned if they would re-
nounce polygamy, an old prophecy
could be found to exactly suit the case,
and let them out on that compromise. "

To Destroy Insects.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry saws
that hot alum water is n recent sugges-
ton as an insecticide. IL will destroy
red and black ants, cockroaches, spi-
ders, chinch bugs, and all the crawling
pests which infest our houses. Take
two pounds of alum and dissolve il in
three or four quarts of boiling water !;
let it stand on the fire until the alum
disappears then apply it with brush,
while nearly boiling hot, to every Joint
and creyice in Your closets, bedsteads,
pantry-shelves and the like. Brush the
crevices in the floor of the skirting or
mop boards, if You suspect that they
harbor Vermin. II, in whitewashing a
ceiling, plenty of alum is added TO the
lime, it will also serve TO keep insects
at a distance. Cockroaches will fee the
paint which has been washed in cool
alum water. Sugar barrels and boxes
can be freed from ants by drawing a
wide chalk mark just round the edge Of
the TOP Of them. The mark must be
unbroken, or they will creep over it !;
but a continuous chalk marx, half an
inch in width, will set their depreda-
lions % naught. Powdered alum or

ComBustlBlIIty of IRON;

The combustibility of iron is a chemi-
cal fact well known, but Berlin ex
perimenter has demonstrated the phe-
nomenon IN manner peculiarly his own.
He takes a straight bar magnet of some
power and sprinkies iron filings on one
Of the poles. These filings arrange
themselves IN accordance with the lines
OF magnetic force, and, however closely
they may appear to be packed, of course
no two of the metallic filaments are
parallel, and consequently a certain
portion OF the air is inclosed, as in a
metallic sponge. The fame OF an ordi-
nary spirit lamp or gas burner readily
lgnltes the finely divided iron, and It
continues to burn most brilliantly for a
considerable length of time, the com.
bustion being apparently as natural
and easy as that of any ordinary sub.
stance. If the experimenter with his
operation stands on slight elevation.
and waves the magnet to and fro whils
burning, most magnificent rain of fire
Is SAID to be produced.

LOVE AND.LABOR.

We die not all for our deeds remain
10 croen with honor or mar with stain;
Through endless sequence OF years to come
Our lives shall speak, when our lips are dumb.
What though We perish, unknown TO fame,
Our tomb forgotten, and lost our name
Since nEught IS wasted in heaven or earth,
And nothing dies 70 which God gives birth.
Though life be joylesa, and death be cold,
Yet God has granted our hearts relief,
For Love and Labor can conquer grief.
Love sheds light on the gloomy way,
And Labor hurries the weary day;
Though death be fearful and life be hard,
Yet Love and Labor shall win reward.
II Love can dry up a single tear,
II lifelong Labor avail 10 clear
single web from before the true,
Then Love and Lobor have won their due.
What II We die so the truth be plain;
little spark from a high desire
Shall hndle others, and grow fre.
We are not worthy to work the whole;
We have no strength which may save q gouI;
Enough for us II our life begin
Successful struggle with grief and sin.
labor IS mortal aud fades away,
But Love shall triumph in perfect day;
labor may Wither beneath the sod,
But Love lives ever, for Love IS God.

An Adroit Express Robbery.

There was an roit robbery of an
express car at Delaware Station, & lit
tie hamlet on the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad. The train
stopTed at the station for supper, re-
naming there fifteen minutes. The ex-
press messenger being hungry, locked
the safe, shut the door of the express
car, locked it, and bolted of to supper.
He forgot the door of his car on the
other side OF the platform. The robber
remembered It. opened it in q few sec
onds, placed tie against the car, and
by main force slid the safe-a mere iron
box weighing DIS pounds-to the track,
closed the door, and luRged his ponder

fence, he pulled down enough of it TO
admit the safe, and after dragging it
fifty yards further pried it open. He

Newspaper Postage.

The following IN relation to newspa-
per postage Is of general interest. At
the last session of congress, the subject
of postage on newspapers and periodi-
Gals was taken into consideration by
that body, resulting in the passage of a
bill compelling advance payment of
postage, and fixing the rate at two cents
per pound on all of that class of matter

quently, and transmitted to regular
subscribers through the mails, and
three cents per pound on such matter
issued less frequently than once a week.
The provisions of this law are to go into
effect Jan. /, 1875. The postmaster
general being by law confined to a
choice of one of three modes of collect
ing the postage by means of stamps,
considerable attention has been given
TO the matter by this Office and after a
careful review of the plans proposed, it
was deemed best TO recommend the
adoption of the system of prepayment
by postage stamps affixed to a memo
randum of mailing, or, in other words,
to a stub in book retained by the post
master at the mailing Office, a receipt,
showing the weight of matter and the
amount paid, being given by the post
master to the person mailing the same,
the stamps affixed to the stub being can
celled by q cutting punch, thus pre-
venting their reuse. This plan, it is
believed, is more practicable and less
expensive in its operations than either
of the others, while at the same time it
will be quite as etfeotual in collecting
the postage. A series of stamps have
been devised of a denominations, by
means of which any sum which is a

rate, from two cents TO S72, can be made
by the use of not more than five stamps,
It is expected that, notwithstanding the
reduction of rates by the law, the sys-
tem of compulsory prepayment of news
paper postage will yield larger reve-
nue. to the department than has ever
been collected. In the city of New
York alone. a comprehensive inquiry
seems TO warrant the belief that not less
than $500, 900 per annum will be paid
q sum which is little less than one half
Of the entire revenue from newspaper
postage throughout the United States
during tine fiscal year just closed. It
is, however, impossible to estimate the
actual increase for the whole country,
owing to that provision of the law which
allows the msil circulation of newspa-
pers in the counties in which they are
printed.

LET Us CONSIDER. Since the intro
duction of distilled spirits in the six
teenth century, they have been habitu-
ely prescribed as remedies. We know
that alcohol, in all its forms, is per
nicious to health. Knowing these things
and that under the system of treatment
which includes their use, the mortality
among the sick is, and ever has been,
enormous, is it not worth while to try
the effect of a remedy which combines
in their highest excellence the qualities
of a tonic, an Alternative and a regulator ;
contains no mineral bane or murderous
alkaloid or alcoholic poison does its
curative office without pain and with
uniform certainty? DR.. Walkers Vim
egar Bitters fulflls all these conditions,
and is now effecting the most extraordi-
nary cures, in cases where every
"specifc" of the faculty he's ignomini-
ously failed. Consider, in view of these
facts, whether any sick person is justified
by reason and common sense in de-
clining to test the virtues of this Unde-
fled and irresistible remedy.

To DestreY Rose slurn.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman reports that nothing will so thor
Oughly destroy rose slugs as wood ashes.
The ashes must be sifted on early in the
morning while the leaves are damp, the
branches being turued over carefully,
so that the under sides of the leaves, to
which the young sl1Ss cling, may get
their share OF the siftings. If the night
has been dewless, in order % make the
work thorough, first sprinkle the bushes,
and the ashes will then cling to the
slugs, to their utter destruction. This
may be repeated without injury to the
roses as often as the pests make their
appearance.

An instrument for measuring dis
tances by sound has been invented re-
Gently by Major dc Boulenge, of the
Belgian army. 1t consists of glass
tube having grRduations along its
length representing distance measures.
The tube is closed at the extremities.
and is filled with liquid, in which is a
metallic traveller, formed by two disks
united by a central road. The diane
ter of the disks is little less than that
OF the tube, so that when the latter is
vertical the traveller will descend with a
slow and uniform motion. knowing
the velocity of sound and that of the
traveller, it is easy to construct the dis
tance scale. In operation, the edge of
one disk is brought to the 0 mark, and
the instrument being held horizontally,
the flash of the cannon, for example. is
noted at that instant the telemeter is
turned to avertical position, and so held,

while, until the sound is heard. when It
is again brought horizontal. The posi-
ton of the traveller denotes the distance

that during the course of official expert
ments at the Belgian artillery school,

of 3, 200 yards, did not make over TWEEN
ty-one yards of error.

Ancient Rings,

One of the most interesting of the
historical rings that have come down to
our times is the signet one of Mary
Queen of Scots, which is now in the
British museum. The general opinion
IS that this was her nuptial ring when
she was married to Darnley. Another
celebrated ring is the one Queen Eliza
beth is supposed to have sent to the
Earl of Essex, but which, as all know. he
failed to receive. 1t is of gold, with the
queens head cut on ONYX, and is now in
the possession of the Rev. Lord John
Thyme, a descendent from Essex's
daughter. In 1765, in the prison where
John Bunyan was once confined. was
found ring bearing his initials, "J.
B., and also an engraving of a deaths
head. This ring, after passing through
several hands, finally came into the pos
session of n curate ut Elstow, where
Bunyan was born. The signet ring of
