Providence and Improyidence,

This is a subject which can not be too
often touched upon. Between extrava-
gance and meanness, reckless waste, and
the good old gentlemanly vice" OF
avarice, lies that middle term of provi-
dence, which, like all middle terms, is SO
difficult to hit with precision and is 80
valuable when hit. Indeed, providence
is one of the essentials of selfrespect
just as no man who is improvident-
flush with money to-day, run dry to-
morrow; now treating" all his friends
like Fortunatus playing at general hos
pitality, now borrowing from the poor.
est, with no difference in reality be-
tween him and roadside beggar-can
understand the meaning of the term OF
know in the smallest degree, wherein
true selfrespect consists. Among the
impossibilities of human action is that
of doing any substantial good to the i'm.
provident. No amount of money short

discharged in the spring have repeated
themselves, may be with additions, by
the autumn. No lessons of hard ex-
perience make any impression on them.
If the way by which they travel has led
them twenty times into the heart OF a
morass, or to the brink of precipice,
they nevertheless 90 along it with eyes
wilfully blinded and minds of false tran
guilty for the twenty-frst. The rule of
life by which they have their being is
that of self-indulgence, and whether II
brings them to ruin or not, they persist
in following it. Small wonder, then, as
human nature is constituted-but to be
deplored all the same-that their friends
grow tired of this perpetual help which
never aids, of this incessent rescue
which never saves. 1t is trying to ladle
out the ocean with a spoon, they say,

completed In season for use during the au-
tumn of next year. Measures will also be
taken TO have the stations authorized for the
Pacific coast in readiness for occupancy next
winter.
There have been IN operation during the
past year eighty-two stations. They are To-
Gated in the three districts designated as the
Cape Cod district, Rhode Island and Long
Island district, and the New Jersey district,
which embrace the most dangerous portions
of the Atlantic coast.
The reports of the superintendent show
that during the season of 1873-'74, forty
eight vessels, valued, with their cargoes, at
81, 1891 COG, and having on board ,166 per-
sons, were driven upon these shores. In
twenty-nine instances the life-saving appar-
atus was called into requisition, and 303 per-
sons were rescued by 1t. In the other cases
its use was not required, but assistance of
some sort, in administering to the comfort of
the shipwrecked or in saving property, was
in nearly all by the force of the service. OF
the amount of property jeoparded, only
$457,2 was lost, and the number of lives
lost was but two. Both of these were caused
by the falling of the mast of vessel when
she struck-a case in which, of course, life
| saving appliances were not available. The
number OF days shelter afforded shipwrecked
persons at the stations was 494.
The operations Of the coast survey within
the present year again illustrate the special
utility of that work. Near several of the
sailing courses on the Atlantic coast and on
the Pacific, dangers that would elude ordi-
nary care in photographic research have been
developed and made known to navigators.
The data, scientific and practical, gathered
in all branches of this important service,
and on record for future uses, and the ex.
perience of the officers employed, are now
sought by the governmental and other com
missions for determining questions com.
mitted to them, whether in regard to bound.

Diamonds at a Discount.

The ext Queen of Spain is forced to sell
another lot of her diamonds in order to
maintain her extravagant style Of living.
The batch to be sold this time is esti.
mated as worth three millions of dollars,
but not likely to bring halt that sum, as
the markets are literally glutted with the
diamonds thrown upon them in conse-
quence Of the recent calamities TO Euro
pean monarchies and aristocracies. In
cases of this kind diamonds are the first
things saved, as they are of small bulk in
proportion to their value, and can be
easily hid away. But the thing has
been overdone, and they soon will be OBJ
liged to fall back on other resources,

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. 18th, 1874.


r. v. PIERCE, NJ. d., Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear Ssr---I had suffered from Catarrh in
an aggravated form for about twelve years,
and for several years from Bronchial trouble.
Tried many doctors and things without last
ing benefit. In May, ~, becoming nearly
worn out with excessive Editorial labors on
paper in New York City, was attacked
with Bronchitis in severe form, suffering
almost q total loss of voice. returned home
here, but had been home only two weeks
when was completely Frustrated with Hem
errhage from the Lungs, hdving four sepere
bleeding spells within t,co aoeeks, and three first
inside Of nine days. In the September fol-
lowing, improved sufficiently to be able to
be about, though in a very feeble state. My
Bronchial trouble remained, and the Catarrh
was tenfold verse than before. Every effort
for relief seemed fruitless. 1 seemed to be
losing ground daily. continued in this
feeble state, raising blood almost daily, until
about the first of March, '73, when became
so bad as to be almost confined to the house.
A friend suggested your remedies. But
was extremely skeptical that they would do
me good, as had lost all heart in remedies,
and began to look upon medicine and doctors
with disgust. However, / obtained one of
your circulars and read IL carefully, from
which came to the conclusion that you UNI
derstood your business, at least. l finally
obtained a quantity of DIR. Sagss' Catarrh
Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery
and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous
use according to directions. To my surprise
soon began to improve. The Discovery
and Pellets, in short time, brought out a
severe eruption, which continued fer several
weeks. felt much better, my appetite inn
proved, and gained in strength and flesh.
In three months every vestige Of the Catarrh
was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disap-
peared, had no Cough whatever, and had
entirely ceased TO raise blood; and, contrary
to the expectation of some of my friends,
the cure has remained permanent. have
had no more Hemorrhages from the Lungs,
and am entirely free from Catarrh, from
which / had suffered so much and so long.
The debt Of gratitude owe for the blessing
/ have received at your hands, knows no
bounds. / am thoroughly satisfied, from my
experience, that your medicines will master
the worst forms of that odious disease Ca
tarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases.
I have recommended them TO very many,
and shall ever speak in their praise.
Gratefully yours,
