All Nervous Diseases speedily cured. Let
the weak and nervous bear in mind that when
they have symptoms indicating many other
diseases, it originates principally from the
nerves.
SEMINAL WEAKNESS.
This dreadful scourge of suffering humanity
brought on from unnatural habits of youth, or

DoS'T ADMIT HER.-Tbere is some
talk of admitting Colorado as State.
Now if Colorado as Territory sends
out the plaques she has, what will she
do as State !
The potato bug is Colorado bird.
The pretty little creature first saw the
light Of day on the plains Of that Terri
tory.
The grassboppers built their first
roosts in Colorado, and there they laid
their 6rst eggs, and from Colombo soil
they went forth TO lay waste the green
fields OF Iowa.
The Colorado beetle and the Colombo
chinch bug are known to every western
farmer. Just now these delightful cres-
lures are getting good ready to pouncc
upon the growing crops
So we have the Colorado potato bug,
the Colorado grasshopper, the Colorado
beetle and the Colorado cbinch bug.
and Colorado itself trying 70 get into
the Union. If Colorado must come in,
we want Wilmot proviso attached TO
the bill to to the effect that all the Total
plaques shall be called home immediate
iy upon the passage OF the bill. Ci1ton

Joy,u uOvIRRoARD.-Last week the
Brooklyn Tabernacle excommunlcated
a member for conduct disgraceful OF the
Christian profession. He had long been
warned and admonished but failing TO
cease his evil practices, he was by unan
imous vote cut off, and his excommunl-
cation as publicly announced as his re-
ception five years before had been pub
lished. Brethren of the Churches, IL IL
net time that our religious societies be
cleaned of their unfaithful members :!
Will not the world have more respect
for the Church when it is understood
that there is such thing as Christian
discipline, and that man cannot 1--we
an obnoxious life and yet sit at the
communion table . Let this cleansing
process 90 on kindly but firmly, and
the Church will mean more than it does
now. The greatest dangers to Christi
anity to-day are not those who are writ,
ing against it, but the professors OF
religion who carry around contribution
plates aud communion cups, and stand
prominent at prayer-meetings, while
they are known as defrauders, SANDER
ers, or inebriates. You wonder why
the old Gospel ship has such rough
weather. 1t is because you have 90
nah on board. Pick him up and let
him drop over the sides very gently
and the sea will cease its raging. 1t IS
very hard to do so, but better Jonah 60
to the bottom than the entire vessel
One rotten apple will spoil the whole
barrel Christian at Work.

To rule By love than fear"

OLD TINE PUSIsHMENTs.-In Germa-
ny dame who let her tongue wag too
freely about her neighbors, used to be
compelled to stand upon block 10 tho
market place, with heavy stone dang
ling from her neck, shaped either like q
bottle, loaf, an oval dish, or represent
ing a woman putting out her tongue,
unless she happened to be rich enough
to buy permission to exchange the hate
full stone for bag Of hops, tied round
with red ribbon.
In 1857, woman OF Sandwich, in
Kent, veDturing TO take liberties with
the good name of "Mrs. Msyoress,"
hal to walk through the streets Of the
town, preceded by a man tinkling
small bell, bearing an old broom upon
her shoulders, from the end of which
dangled wooden mortar. Sisfordshire
scolds did not get off so easily. They
had to follow the bell-inan, until they
showed unmistakable signs Of repent
snce, deIarred from giving any one o
bit of their mind, by the branks or
scold's bride, an ingenious arrangement
of metal hoops contrived to clasp the
head and the neck firmly, while the
paddock behind remained locked, while
spiked plate pressed upon the tongue,
so az effectually to preclude its owner
making any use Of it. The branks, how
ever, was not peculiar TO Staffordshire;
il was in use in Scotland centuries ago.

The LOCAL OprioN LAw.-Elections
under the local option temperance law
have now been held in some twenty or
more towns aud townships in Califor-
nia The contest in every case has
been close and warm, but in fully two
thirds of the places the vote has been
in favor of "no license" The most ex-
citing elections thus far have been in
Oakland and Brooklyn. These places
are on the bay, opposite to San Francis
CO. Many of the residents there do
business in San Francisco. The ladies
managed the canvass and displayed
great energy aud tact They pitched
tents as near the voting places as they
were permitted to by the law In them
they spread free lunch all day. Then
they patrolled the streets by committees
inviting al the voters they met or could
find into their tents They treated
them to the best Of viands, aud to tea
and coffee sweetened with smiles a.
well as sugar.
Then tney offered to each "no Ii.
cense' ballot and bouquet Hundreds
of topers, il is said, were thus induced
to vote against the rum-sellers. They
felt, degraded as they were, the purify
ing and ennobling influence Of woman.
These elections have converted :hous-
ands who have hitherto opposed female
suffrage to believe in it and work for it,
They say if we can have such elections
as this always, it will be blessed inn
provement upon the coarseness and
rowdyism Of the past

IsIr BETTER TO RULE BY LOVE THAN
FEAR Yes, as a general thing, We
think it is; certainly it is for parents.
When father and mother want to have
their children brought up with fear--to
be always afraid 10 do anything for fear
OF doing it wroug-thinking all the
of whipping, or what is more of
punishment to most children, good
talking to ! We believe in correcting
children when they do wrong, but rs
for continually scolding them for every
little thing that happens, we have but
little faith in its ever making manly
boys and womanly girls of them. Ga
the contrary, we think it only hurts
them, and brings them up so that they
cannot do anything properly, for ts
want of confidence in themselves, be-
cause they are timid and afraid to ask
questions,or to talk with their superiors.
Children must be encouraged in
whatever they undertake TO do. To do
this, of course requires not only great
deal OF patience aud pains, but also skill
in educating and training children. IL
would be well for parents to remember
this, and mol 10 forget how good it
would make them feel In their old days,
TO have their children thanking them
for their great patience. The daugh-
tiers, then young mothers, will say,
when they find themselves scolding one
of their children, probably for some lit
tie inoffensive thing, "Well, ! must do
as my mother used 10" and after giving
the child some encouraging words, will
repeat silently to themselves
"Speak gently; IL is better far
To rule by love Than fesrv

A PROFITABLE INvEsTMENr.-A story
of real life, of class of which the State
is prolific, is related by the California
papers. In 1850 young man named
Osborne, who had recently arrived at
mines from the east, friendless and pen
uiless, was taken sick. He told his
condition to fellow adventurer, named
Hitchcock, who was little better OH,
and the latter promised to ''see HIM
through The promise was kept, and
when, after two months of illness, Us.
borns arose from bis bed, his friend
handed him $3.50 to bear his expenses
and procure tools, saying to him, III
you ever get able you may pay me
back, but do not worry yourself any IN
trying to make the money too quick.
One year and half from that time U.s.
borne sent Hitchcock $3.50 with the
following note: "Ill pay interest on
friendship" His labors proved remu-
nerative, and by 1872 he was worth
Ss5O,OOO. While in San Francisco he
by accident met and recognized his
friend. When they parted after several
days companionship, Osborne gave
Hitchcock sealed package, with the
Injunction that it should not be opened
until he was on the cars. There Hitch
cock found that it contained a deed fol
one-sixth of rich silver mine with
small note containing the words, 'In,
,erest on friendship" Hitchcock has
sold his interest for $4,000.

THE MODERN PULprr.-The Chicago
Tribune publishes letter from Rev.
G. C. Mullins, which undertakes to
show that the pulpit is losing much OF
its old time power, and inquiries into
the causes. Mr.. Mullins attributes the
waning influences Of the pulpit to the
decided change from the kind OF
preaching we used to hear to that we
listen to nowadays. Formerly, he
saws, it was the duty of the minister OF
the gospel to preach the word, pure
and simple, and now the preacher has
been metamorphosed into the moral
essayist, the reiigio-philosophical lee,
turer and a professional, who must
send up rocket and make a sensation
once a week if he expects to succeed
