GeorSe,s Rocking Horse.

When George was five years old, his
uncle gave him rocking horse. 1t was
a very large horse, almost too large for
a small boy but George liked it all the
better for that.
It pleased him greatly for a while !;
but when he got to be eight years old,
and had been on a visit to the country,
and had had a ride on a real horse, the
rocking horse began to lose its charm
for him.
There was a way, though, to have fun
out of it still; for George had some
young friends, smaller than himself, to
whom such famous rocking horse was
great delight.
George took much pleasure in show
ing it to them. One day, he invited
Tom Wilson, Charles Brown Sam How
ard, Willie Thompson, and Fred Viii
kins, to come in aud play with it.
George meant to give all ride but he
found he had invited too many boys for
one horse. There was a dispute at once
as to which should get on first, and, to
settle that question, George had to
mount the horse himself.
| Then there was q scramble for the
best places on the rockers. Fred Viii
kins secured the hind rocker; Charles
Brown seated himself very comfortably
under the horses hind legs George s
little sister Mary, not to be outdone,
left her picture-book on the floor, and
| took her place under the horses fore
legs.
The only place left was the front
rocker. Tom Wilson and Willie
| Thompson both made dash for that.
Tom got it first and then Willie, who
was little out OF temper, tried to push
him Off
just then, George started his horse
with shout and before Willie could
get out of the way, the rocker came
down with full force upon his toes. Il
made him whimper little ; but, for my
part, I think it served him right fol
being SO rude.
All this time, Sam Howard, who was
a very modest boy, had stood quietly
looking on. Seeing that Sam was com
p1etely crowded out, George got off thu
horse and told Sam to mount in hi
stead, which he did SO the boy who
was least selfish had the best place afte
all.
But Sam would not keep the bes
place all the time. He let the othe
boys take it, each in turn so they al
had good fun.

Fever and Agus. Ch,n rerer. ae.

A fow months after having commenced the
manufacture of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, the proprietor began to receive
numerous letters from all parts of the West
ern and Southern States bestowing the most
tt1lbott1ded praise upon it for having promptly
cured the writer's or their friends OF Fever and
Ague, or other forms of miasmatic or malari-
GUS diseases. He was repeatedly urged to
make known the wonderful virtues Of the
Discovery in the cure of Ague and kindred
diseases: He always replied that it was not
intended for s. cure all, and should he rec
ommend it to people as remedy for so many
dlnerent forms and classes Of disease he
feared those who had never tested its virtues
wouId at once class it among the numerous
numbugs OF the day. This answer was sat-
lsiactory to no one; they argued that the
Whole country ought to know it at once and
expressed their astonishment at his indiffer-
ence 70 the subject. His ear and heart being
at ali times open to the call of suffering hu.
manlty, he has at last, after having received
testimony from hundreds who have been
speedily cured by it, and many of them after
qulnla and all the usual means had failed con-
sented to make the matter known
NEWMAN, JEFF. Co., Kan, JAN 6, 1873.
DIR. Pierce:
DEAR SIR-Having used few bottles OF
your Golden Medical Discovery and believing
It to be the very best medicine for Chills and
Fever, wish to buy it by the dozen. Please
give me your price for it.

"a MEW C0MMnNLrY.

A new community of socialists are
founding Harmonial Home on Valcour
Island in Lake Champlain. According
to their creed they will indulge in com
plex marriage and no other sort. In
other words, they will be practical free
lovers, and viii neither deny their creed
nor sit on the ragged edge of remorse
to any great extent. They propose to
live on great deal of love and very
little agriculture. There are two hun
dred gudgeons in the party now, and
they extend an invitation to every one
else wishing to live with them. One dis
tinctive feature of this latest Iunacy is
that the inmates of the homes are to be
divided by "temperaments into groups
and families, thus avoiding the com
bination of discordant elements " in one
family. Doubtless the red-haired mer
and women will constitute one group
and those with fondness for "gush
ing " another group. Those who have
charge of the organization of these
groups will, however, have good time
in finding out the proper place for every
wild fanatic who may join the Harmo
nial Brotherhood.

MEDICAL MANIAcs.-There are num-
bers of medical men so welded to the
Did formulas, that all changes seem to
them like Innovations These medical
maniacs are, fortunately, incapable of
much mischief in this practical age.
While the VINEGAR BTrTERs are curing
Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti-
patton, and countless other diseases that
defy the remedies of the pharmacopeia,
it is impossible to thrust down the
threats of Intelligent inva1ids theroic -
doses of mineral poison, or to persuade
them to take adulterated alcohol, i'm
pregnated with cheap astringents, as a
"healing balm" or "balsamic prep
aration." VINEGAR BITTERs, a pure bo-
tanical tonic and Alternative, guiltless of
the curse of distilled or fermented
liquor, is actually accomplishing what
the mineral and alcoholic ure-mongers
have SO necessarily promised but have
never yet performed. Under these cir
cumstances it is no wonder that this
medicine has taken precedence of all
those burning fluids mis-called tonics.

How a Coat Used to be Made.

Boys in these days who can go to a
clothing store, try on a coat, and when
they find one that suits, pay for it and
take it home, may be interested to know
how boys came by their coats in the
old times. Hon. Amasa Walker tells
this story:
After had obtained the wool for
my coat, and carried it long distance
to be carded, I found the parties over
whelmed with business. Everybody
desired their wool cardcd as well as I,
and was obliged to wait the natural
course of events, which meant two weeks.
I returned home, and when the two
weeks had elapsed, again presented my
self at the mill, and inquired for the
wool. It would be done in less than an
other week. It was done when L next
visited them, and took my possession
home. Ny mother was quite delighted
on my arrival, and at once set to work
to spin it on great wheel AT the ap-
pointed time made another journey on
horseback with my bundle behind me,
to the cloth store at Knoxville. / was
obliged to be contented with receiving
promise of the cloth in three weeks.
When that time had gone by / went
again, and had to wait long time, but
finally obtained my treasure and went
home. After three weeks delay and
disappointment, Uncle Daniel gave me
the cloth for my surtout, and then
Aunt Debby, the tailoress, had to be
engaged to make it. Aunt Debby could
not come for some days, but at last af-
ter more hardships in going for her at
early sunrise on cold, frosty day, and
waiting for her to finish job, she was
obtained, and the hard earned garment
was at last completed, as well as my
brothers clothes.''

BRITISH RAIL WAY FIG UREs.

American railway statistics are SO
matters will find no difficulty in COM
pairing their figures with the figures
which the Pail Mall Gazette gives
of the railway system of the United
Kingdom. In England and Wales at
the end of last year there were IL, ,369
miles of railway open. the total capital
paid up, including shares, loans, etc
being over s.. 450, 600, 900, and the total
number of passengers, including season
ticket holders, stood upward of 400,-
600, 900. The totaitraffic receipts of the
year amounted to S235, ,00O, 600, the work
ing expenses to $130, 900, 900, and the
net traffic receipts to Sl15, 900, 900.
Since 1859 the average.increase of mile
age has been about 800 year. The
paid-up capital has risen by an average
annual increase of $500. 900 year,
and the average increase in the number
of passengers has been close upon 2O,-
600, 600. In Scotland the increase of
mileage has averaged scarcely 100 a
year, standing now at 2,612, though
since 1859 the capital has risen from
S195, 900, 900 to s345, 900, 900, and the
number of passengers conveyed has
more than doubled. The whole number
of miles of railroad in the United Kiug-
dom in 1873 was 5000, and the total
