Origin of the Temperance Crusade.

The ladies temperance movement
commenced at Hillsboro, Ohio, by a
lady whose husband and son had fallen
victims to the Intoxicating cup, and all
earthly means of reforming them having
failed, her burdened soul cried out to
Godfor help; and she arose in the church
and asked her sisters to meet her in her
own parlor to pray. A number volun-
teered. They held a prayer meeting in
her parlor; the Divine presence was
with them III power. Deeply impressed
to do so, she asked her friends to fol-
low her into the street, and they all did
so, neither she nor any of the others
knowing what would be done, or by
what mysterious influence they were
led but, single file, they passed along
the principal street, singing as they
went, until they came to the leading sa-
loon and, led by the same unseen hand,
they entered it and plead with the pro-
prietor to quit the business but he
said he could not, that it was his only
means of support, and his family would
suffer and starve if he quit but he gave
them permission to hold prayer meet
ing in the saloon and they sang and
prayed until all the ladies present had
led in prayer, and there was wonder
full manifestation of Divine power ac-
companying the exercises. They again
entreated the saloon. keeper to desist
he said he would if he had any other
means of support, but could not as he
was situated. In a moment the lady
asked for sheet of paper, wrote out a
subscription, and, in as brief time as
the names could be written, 81 900 was
subscribed by the ladies, the wives of
bankers and merchants. The man
closed his saloon, and it has never been
opened since. He is now converted, a
member of the church, and has good
situation in dry goods store. This
was the unprecedented beginning OF

Healing by Faith.

DIR. Brown Squeard. the eminent sur
geon, in lecture delivered i'll New
York the other day said: "The cure
of any illness which does not consist in
disorganization of the tissues can
often be accomplished when the person
thinks that it can be done. If we
physicians, who treat patients every
day, had the power to make them be-
lieve that they are to be cured, we GER
tainly would obtain less fees than we
do, and L must say that the best of us
would rejoice at it. There is no doubt
at all that if we could give to patients
the idea that they are to be cured they
would often be cured, especially if we
could name time for it, which is a
great element III success. L have sue
ceeded sometimes, and | may say that L
succeed more now than formerly, be-
cause | have myself the faith that L can
in giving faith obtain a cure. wish,
indeed, that physicians who are Younger
men than myself, and who will have
more time to study this question than |
have, would take it up, especially IN
those cases in which there is tunc-
t:onal nervous affection only to deal
with, as it is particularly, though not
only, in those cases that a cure can be
obtained. Indeed a cure may thus be
obtained in certain organic affections !;
even in dropsy it may lead to IA cure.

How Frank Pierce Got the News OF His
Nomination.

Sitting, one night, in the fremont
House with the late Col. Barnes, he
said to me "That was a queer thing
about the nomination of Frank. T"
Frank who?" / said. "Why, Frank
tended to run Frank for the Vice-Pres-
idency. We thought the South would
concede that Office to the North, and we
pitched upon the General. He was very
social in his habits, but very quiet. He
spent his evenings with a set of good
fellows, and the fact is he drank good
deal, though it was not generally known.
The morning of the nomination, it was
agreed between Frank and myself that
he should spend the day in Mount Au-
burn, no one but myself knowing where
his place of resort was. He was very
nervous and greatly agitated. Iagreed
to dive out in the afternoon and tell
him how things looked. When the news
of the Generals nomination came on,
men rushed into the fremont House by
hundreds. They knew my intimacy
with the General. But | kept my own
COUNSEL. L drove out to Mount Auburn.
1t was a long time before L could find
Frank. He was solitary and alone,
leaning on the monument over the
graves of the Webster family. AS soon
as 1 saw him, L shouted, By, Frank,
you have got it. Got what?' Got the
nomination for the Presidency! Not
the Presidency yes, you are nomi-
mated for the Presidency by the great
Democratic party of the States. Pale
as marble, Frank turned from me-
half kneeling andhalf standing grasp
ing the sandstone shaft, he took sol
emn VOW that he would drink no intox-
icating liquors during the canvass, nor,
if elected, during the Presidential term.
That VOW those who knew him best
knew that he kept" Btrlcigh'S" Let

4 Balky Horse.

There are two ways of managing a
balky horse. My companion knew one
of them, and l the other His method
is to sit quietly in the wagon, and at
short intervals throw small pebble at
the horse. The theory is that these re-
peated sudden annoyances will operate
on a horses mind, and he will try to
escape them by going on. The specta-
tors supplied my friend with stones, and
he pelted the horse with measured gen.
tleness. Probably the horse understood
this method, for he did not notice the
attack at all. My plan was to speak
gently to the horse, requesting him to
go. and then to follow the refusal by one
sudden, sharp cut of the lash; to wait a
moment, and then repeat the operation.
The dread of the coming lash after the
gentle word will startle any horse. l
tried this, and with certain success.
The horse backed us into ditch, and
would probably have backed himself
into the wagon if L had continued.
When the animal was at length ready
to go, Davie took him by the bride,
ran by his side, coaxed him into gal
lop, and then, leaping in behind, dashed
him into a run which had little respite
for ten miles, up hill and down. Re-
monstrance on behalf of the horse was
in vain, and it was only on the return
home that this specimen Cape Breton
driver began to reflect how he could
erase the welts from the horses back be-
fore his father saw them.-C ID. Var

A Costly Residence.

The fight of riches and the folly of
those who lavish money wastefully were
never better illustrated than in the case
of the late Legrand Lockwood's splen-
did marble palace at Norwalk, Conn.
There are forty acres of fnely-orna-
mented grounds, in the center of which
is stately structure costing $1,000, 900.
On the premises are three other hand
some buildings, porter's lodge, conserv-
atories, stables, and so on. The house
is resplendent with polished marbles.
frescoes, inlaid woodwork of the most
costly kind, doors which cost $4,000
each billiard-room on which so, 600
were expended and there are forty-nine
rooms thus gorgeously decorated, ne
two of which are alike. 1t is estimated
that between 50, 900, 900 and 50, 900, 00O
of cash were sunk in this monument of
extravaganza, and yet the entire estab-
lishment is now on the market for less
then $3.50, 000.-,Ne,O York Mail.

DIR. WALKER tried various extracts
from herbs and roots, without benefit.
He noticed, however, that alcohol, that
bane of the human race, was used in
their preparation, and he determined to
exclude the poison entirely from his own
practice, so that the sin of making men
drunkards, while pretending to cure
them, should never lie at his door. The
Almighty blessed his experiments, and
in the VINEGAR BITTERs he has produced
a pure, health-restoring agent, which
banishes disease in every form, REIN
vigorates the system, and restores
strength to the feeblest sufferer. There
is no part of ife's citadel where the
enemy can make Judgment, that the
VINEGAR BrTTERs will not find him and
put him to the rout. Impurity Of blood
is the parent of disease the liver, the
stomach, the lungs, the nerves, every
vital organ is affected primarily, from
this cause, and in this direction the
VINEGAR BIrTERs acts with magical in
huence. ~
