CHARCOAL FOR PoULTRY.-The benefit
which fowls derive from eating charcoal is, l
believe, acknowledged. The method ofputtng
it before them is, however, not we'll understood.
Pounded charcoal is not in the shape in which
fowls usually find the food, and consequently,
is not very enticing to them. / have found
that corn burnt on the cob, and the refuse,
which consists almost entirely of the grains re-
duced to charcoal, and still retaining their per-
feet shape placed before them, is greedily eaten,
is shown by the brighter color of their combs,
and their soon producing greater average of
eggs to the flock than before.

NEARLY all diseases originate from Indi-
gestion and Torpidity of the Liver, and relief
is always anxious]y sought after. If the Liver
is Regulated in it's action, health is almost in
variably secured. Want of action in the Liver
causes Headache, Constipation, Jaundice, Pain
in the Shoulders, Cough, Chills, Dizziness, Sour
Stomach, bad taste in the mouth, bilious at
tacks, palpitaton of the heart, depression of
spirits, or the blues, and hundred other symp-
toms. for which SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR is the best remedy that has ever been
discovered 1t acts mildly effectually, and
being simple vegetable compound, can do no
injury in any quantities that it may be taken:
It's harmless in every way; it has been used
for 40 wears, and hundreds of the good and
great from all parts of the country will vouch
for its being the purest and best.

The Boston Post has the following lit

- The Boston Post has the following little
item: The noted Mississippian, Mr.. G. B.
Lamar, of cotton claim fame, whose death was
recently announced, left by his will Sl00 900 for
the establishment of an asylum for indigent
negroes. This is substantial evidence in fass
vor of the notion that the real friends of the
black man are to be found among those who were
born and raised with him and not among the
canting phianthropists who have been mislcad-
ing him in order to use him for political and re-
vengefuI purposes, Mr. Lamar was an original
secessionst. After the war he was pursued
with unusal severity. Abused and pundered,
he has only come by part of his rights to die
and make a handsome divide with his dusky
old friends Of the cotton patch.

Profitable POlitenesS.

The Boston Traveller, in commenting on the
prevalence of rudeness. tells the following in
cident that happened some years ago,
There was a very plainly dressed elderly lady
who was a frequent customer at the then lead
ing dry goods store in Boston. No one In the
store knew even her name. All the clerks but
one avoided her and gave their attention to
those who were better dressed and more preten-
tious. The exception was young man VINO
had conscientious regard for duty and system.
He never left another customer to wait on the
lady, but when at liberty he waited on her
with as much attention as though she had
been princess This continued year or two
until the young man became OF age. One
morning the lady approached the young man
when the following conversation took place:
Lady, man, do you not Wish TO 90

neither money, credit nor friends, nor Will any
one trust me-"
"Well," continued the lady, "you 60 and Sc,

report to me-" handing the young man her ad,
dress. The young man went found caPi1''1
location, good store butt the landlord re9ulre1
security, which he could not give Mindful OF
the lady's request, he forthwith went to her ana
'.WeIl," she replied, "you go and tell Mr..
- that will be responsible"
He went, and the landlord or agent was sur,
prised, but the bargain was closed. The next
day the lady called to ascertain the result
The young man told her, but added, "What
am to do for goods? No one will trust me-"
"You may go and see MI. -, and Mr.
and Mr.. and tell them to call on me-"
He did, and his store was soon stocked with
the best goods in the market. There are many
in this city who remember the circumstances
and the man. He died many years since, and
lefta fortune of three hundred thousand dollars.
So much for politeness, so much for, civility,
and so much for treating ones elders with the
Difference due to age in whatever garb they are
clothed.

- a contemporary says: "a newspaper, and
q newspaper editor that people don't talk about
and sometimes abuse are rather poor concerns
The men and business that an editor sometimes
feels it duty to defend at a risk of making
enemies of another class are often the very first
to show incratitude The editor who expects
to receive much charity or gratitude will soon
find out his mistake; but he should go ahead
and saw and do what ne conscientiously thinks
right, without regard to frowns or smiles"

of even small flock of sheep on the farm as as

weeds in his pastures. Happy the farmer who
knows that sheep in an orchard are far better
and more profitable than pigs.

THE Power Of Imagination

Alexander Dumas published some time ago,
in daily Paris paper, a novel in which the
heroine. prosperous and happy is assaied with
consumption. All the gradual symptoms were
most touchingly described, and the greatest in
terest was felt for the heroine.
One day the Marquis de Dalomieu called on
him.
"Dumas," said he, shave you composed the
end of the story now being published in
the -"
"Of course"
"Does the heroine die at the end?"
"Cfcourse, dies, of course, dies of consump-
ton. After such symptoms as have described,
how could she live ?"
AYou will have to make her live. You must
change the catastrophe"
"I cannot"
eyes you must; for on your heroine's life
depends my daughters"
'sYour daughter's?"
"Yes. She has all the various symptoms OF
consumption you have described, and watches
mournfully for every number of your novel,
reading her own fate in your herones. Now,
if YOU make your heroine live, my daughter,
whose imagination has been deeply impressed,
will live too. Come, life to save is q tempta-
ton"
"Not 10 be resisted"
Dumas changed his last chapter. His he
roine recovered, and was happy.
About five years afterward Dumas met the
marquis at party.
"Ah, Dumas W he exclaimed, "let me intro
duce you to my daughter; she owes her life to
you. There she is.''

| The Aldine for December comes to Us
in good time, and as usual freighted
with all the good things of art and liter
ature. This being the holiday or Christ
mas number of the year, it need scarce
ly be said that pictorially it fills the very
sense of satisfaction. Four pictures of
the seasons "Spring." Summer" eau
tumn" and Winter" each with verse
of illustration, present at once some of
the most pregnant designing and the fin
est engraving and printing, to be found
even in this high h-claFs publication. The
"OId Mill in the Jura Mountains" after
c. E. Duboise, young American artist
of great promise, has a world of rugged
strength and design, blended with care
full and elaborate detail. Two charm
ing pictures appropriate for the season,
'Winter Pastimes," and "The First
Lesson tell pretty and interesting
stories in a graceful manner and the
same may be said of Caught which
develops one of the dangers of the pro-
trusive petticoat, and "The Rivals"
which shows that there may be other
jealousies than those beating under
broadcloth or founced silks. John S.
Davis seems TO have given US one of the
most careful of his embodiments of
sad idea, in 'Mary of the Wild Moor,
the pictorial story of well-known
tragic ballad "Here's your Christmas
Dinner l' is full of the softened lights
and delicate shades of the old Flemish
artists who so loved to depict market
scenes; "The Zackenfall, Bohemik," OPP
ty, little known in books, though deserv
ing place among the most popular re-
sorts "What Keeps Him ?' leads to a
painful doubt whether there can be any
lover at onoe recreant enough and silly
enough to keep the owner of that face
and form waiting long enough even to
ask the question and the pictorial list
is completed by general and two inter-
ior views of ''St. Asaph Cathedral,
North Wales" keeping up The Aldine's
speciality of portraying the great relig
ions houses of England in rapid success
