MODERN MEDICAL DIsCovERY.-It is
claimed that disease, with a few excep-
tons has been conquered by the research
and intellect of enlightened men; and yet
a noted professor of New Y ork admits that
"of all sciences, medicine is the most UNI
certain" and that " thousands are annual
" slaughtered in the sick ROOM" Certain
"schoOls "ofmedicine are in existence, one
of which "males the patient i'll, }" in order
to claim cure; and another administers
sugar-coated bread pills." relying upon
nature to effect her own cures. DIR. j.
WALKER, of California, an old and respec-
ted physician, tried both modes of treat
ment and both failed. He then appealed
to natures curative-herbs and now en-
joys rugged health. He has given the ben
eft of his discovery to the world, in the
shape of VINEGAR BTTTERs, and since its
introduction has sold a quantity almost
large enough to make small harbOr, or
float the "Great Eastern" Its curative
proprieties are attested by grateful thOus

The philosophers of India once pos
sessed book so large that it required a
thousand camels to carry it. a king de
sired to have it abridged, and certain schol-
ars reduced it so that it could be carried by
a hundred camels. Other kings came, who
demanded that it should be diminished still
more, until at length the volume was re-
duced to four maXims. The first of these
maXims babe kings to be just; the second
prescribed obedience to the people; the
third recommended mankind not to eat eX-

Don't TANIPER WITH A CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category Of diseases to which hui
mainly is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in its early stage. A simple cough is

who have paid dearly fer experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-Consumprion A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the

We wrestle in our own strength

be otherwise, till we make him
our strength. This we are still
forgetting, and had need to be
put in mind of, and ought fire.
quently to remind ourselves
We would be at doing for our.
selves, and insensibly fall into
this folly even after much smart
ing for it, if we be mott watchful
against it. There is in this wretch

that is SO hard to beat ..out. AL

The Tomb of Lazarus.

The most recent discoveries by
the Palestine Expedition are such
as to excite the liyeliest interest
of the Christian world. The ex-
plorers have found on the Mount
Of Olives a number of Jewish
Greek sarcophagi bearing inscrip-
items. In these were the bones
Of Christian Jews, and one OF
them bears the name of Lazarus.
Others are inscribed with the
name of Simon.,and Martha, and
although the discoverers do not
claim that these sarcophagi actu
ally served entombment of the
biblical individuals known to
the world under those names,
they leave it to be inferred that
such may be the fact. The tomb
Of Lazarus-the scenes.of lones OF
the most marvellous ,,of Christ's
miracles-it is believed will be
definitely located before the ex-
ploration is finished.

How to Handle Frightened
Horses.


Almost invariable the damage
done by frightened horses is di-
rectly traceable to injudicious
management. In the first place,
the idea of forcing a horse to
"getIusedps to something he is
frightened at, is all wrong. Ii a
horse is afraid of the cars or any
other object. the only way to
cures him of it is by degrees.
Drive or hitch him safe distance
from them, where he can see
them, and then pay as little at
tention to him as possible. Don't
make anything of the matter
yourself and he will gain conf
dence very rapidly. When your
horse is frightened, never display
any fear or nervousness yourself
and make the matter appear as
light as possible. If you make a
great demonstration about hold
ing him, it is..certain to magnify
the cause in the mind of the
horse. Never let your horse see
you are afraid of him, nor try to
cure his fear by force or rough
treatment, for either cause will
be certain to increase his fear.
Be firm, calm and kind, and you
will be astonished at your own
success. Many horses are disa-
greeable drivers from the habit
of shying at OBJECTS on the road
side or in passing another yehic-
lie; this is in most cases a mere
habit and can be quickly cured,
simply by making the horse
ashamed of his own fear. When
a horse shys, if the circumstances
will possibly admit OF it, do not
pay the least attention to it, do
not pull him severely on the rein
and never hit with the whip when
past the object, but let the lines
loose and let him shy as
far as he pleases without any ap-
parent attention. No other cause
that we have tried " i'll so quick
ly and effectually cure a horse of
this disagreeable and sometimes
dangerous habit. In case of a
runaway, dangerous results can
often be averted by quiet calm
ness, and seeking to restore your
control by degrees, instead of by
some sudden exhertion. Never
halloa, or by any means let the
horse know you are afraid,
there may be ample
cause for it. The horse deserves
credit for more knowledge, affec-
ion and memory than is gener-
lily given to him.

The Honest Cabin-Boy.

An English .sailor-boy, in a
Russian port, saw a lady, who
was driving in slsdge, drop a
small book case in which was a
diamond bracelet. He rushed
forward to pick it up, land called
after the owner, but she was
quickly out of sight.
John ran to the captain to ask
what he ought to dc, when the
captain said: "Why,i Jack, Tyoul
fortune is made these are all
diamonds on the bracelet; / will
sell them for you when we ge,
home" '-..-a2-
'But they belong..to the lady,
said he.
The captain replied, "Oh, you
picked it up, and you cannot
find :. the lady, it sbelongs te
you"
off we should have another
storm, captain as we gofhome
what would become of US ?s sssz
"Ah, john" said the captain
who perhaps was only trying te
see, if he had got an honest cab
in boy, "you are right; 1 will GO
on shore, and tryssto find out, the
owner"
After some trouble she was
found, and as reward rshe..gave
the boy large sum of money.
By the Captains advice it was
laid out in furs and hides. which.
when the ship came to England
were sold for nearly double the
price they cost.
As soon as John landed, he set
off for his widowed mothers cot
tage. But when he got to it he
found it shut.up, and the grass
was growing about the door,
"Oh." thought he .smy poor moth
er has died of want p He look
ed about him in the greatest
grief, when he heard some one
call to him: "John, is that'youg''
1t was a woman of the village
that spoke to him. She then
told him that his poor mother
had gone to the workhouse.
John was soon at the work
house gate, ringing the sbell.
"What do you want ?" said the
porter.
~ want my mother,n said
John.
The porter said she must not
go out without an order: but
John went in, fell on his moth
er's neck, with her arm under
his arm, he marched out with
her on the way to The old cottage.
There he saw her placed in com
fort, and leaving her some mon
ey to keep her while he was gone
on another voyage,h went again
to his ship. John was a GOOD
son to his mother from that day.
and he afterwards became the
mate of the sameivessel in which
he first lett the shores of Var
mouth as an orpan cabin-boy.
John had been Sunday scbol-
ar, and had, learned to read the
Bible. 1t was this Book that
gave him courage in a storm. it
taught him to resist temptation,
and to be honest; it made him
kind to his mother; and we
hope it led him to know our Lord
Jesus Christ as his Savior
Young reader, this holy book
speaks to all. 1t directs YOU to
repent, and to forsake all sin. IT
points you TO Jesus, the sinners

Circulation Of Sap.

AT a;late..meetin of the Mas
sachusetts State Board of Agri-
culture. Iheld :at Fitchburg, f(at
which Professor Agassiz deliver
ed his last public address) Col.
VIM. S. Clark President of the
Amherst Agricultural College,
read a paper, on 'sThe Circulation
of Sap in Plants" 1t was based
on a series of experiments con-
Quoted under the direction of
President Clark, for the purpose
of investigating the phenomena
connected with this. circulation.
The result of these experiments
has. been an important addition
to the knowledge of a subject
which has hitherto been involv-
ed in great obscurity. The hy-
pothesis was sustained that the
crude sap rises in the wood .and
the perfected sap descends in the
bark. Experiments upon:.the'po-
tato plant have shown that when
a ring of bark was removed from
the stem no tubers were formed
under ground or below the ring,
but small tubers appeared in the
axils of the leaves about the ring
and the plant remained fresh and
vigorous, and when the axillary
tubers were taken off, blossomed
and bore fruit. Further proof of
the downward or rootward ten
dency of the elaborated sap is
seen in the effect of ringing a fruit
bearing branch of a grape vine
or pear, by wh1ch..the fruit is in
creased in size through the abun-
dance of nuriment which under
ordinary circumstances would de-
scend to the lower part of the
plant. The experiments have al
so demonstrated. the immense
pressure OF the sap as far great
er than easssbeen imagined.
On .the conclusion of Prest.
Clark's address, Agassiz bestow-
ed high praise upon the paper by
saying that "froms this time for
ward, if not before, the Agricul-
tural College at Amherst has
place among the scientific insti-
tutions of the country. This one
paper has amply repaid the
State. for everys dollar that has
yet been spent of the College,
This paper we trust will be pub
lished in full and. I'VE learn that
the experiments are to be con-
