A Future Life,

The pictures of future world which
men have drawn in different lands and
ages, all possess at least one claim to
our interest. They afford us not in
deed tie faintest outlines of that undis-
covered country beyond the bourne of
death, but they reveal with unimpeach-
able, because unintentional, sincerity,
the innermost desires and fears of liv-
ing men. On that "cloud which re-
ceives every departing soul out of our
sight, the magic-lantern of fancy casts
its bright or gloomy imagery, and we
need but watch the phantasms as they
pass to know the hidden slides of the
brain which produced them. The lus-
cious gardens and Hours anticipated
by the Moslem the eternal repose of
Nirvana sighed for by the Buddhist !;
the alternate warfare and wassail of
Walhalla, for which the Norsemen
longed as the climax of glory and felici-
ty, convey to us at glance livelier
conception of the sensuality, the indo.
lence, and the fierceness, of the respec-
tive races than could be acquired by
elaborate studies of their manners and
morality. In similar way other char
acteristics are revealed by the terrors
of future punishment the lively
Greek imagined to himself as the end
less hopeless, labors of an Ixion or q
Sisyphus; the digni6ed Egyptian, as
degradation to a bestial form; and the
grim-souled Teuton of the Dark Ages,
as eternal torture in a fiery cave.
Whatever has constituted mans high.
est pleasure on earth that he has hoped
to find again in heaven, and whatever
he has most dreaded, that he has imag-

hereafter. From this point of view the

wherein saints and archangels forever
cast their crowns before the great White
Throne, and worship t thrice Holy
One who stitch thereon-affords sin.
gular evidence of the spiritual altitude
to which those souls had attained to
whom such an apocalypse opened the
supremest vision of beatitude. The
attitude OF adoration-of sublime ecs
tatic rapture in the presence of perfect
holiness and goodness, is assuredly the
loftiest of which we have any concep
ton, and to desire to enjoy and prolong
it forever can only genuinely pertain tc
soul in which the love of divine good
ness is already the ruling passion
Wider thought and calmer reflection
may teach that not alone on such noun
tain peaks of emotion, but on the plains
of sacred service, should the faithful,
son of God desire to spend his immor
tality. But the modern American poe
who has taken on himself to sneer a
the notion of angels "loafing about tn,
Throne" has given curious evidence O.
his incompetence to understand wha
sublime passion it was which inspired
that wondrous vision of Patmos.-

To DIR. R. V. PIERCE: Your Discovery needs

mend it to do, and more too. When was 10

perfect wreck of disease, and all the medicines
doctors bills have run up at times to $500 and
$500, and never any better, but worse, when l
gave up all hopes last spring of living the sum
mer through. I received one of your Account
Books, and told my husband, after reading it,
that it was too late to try further, but he said
it was never too late. He went and bought
two bottles. and found it was helping me very
much. Since 1841 l was troubled with Catarrh
and Sore Throat and was almost entirely deaf
in one ear, and my voice was dull as could be.
There was constant pain in my head. Now my
head is as sound as dollar, my voice is clear,
and have used ten bottles of your Discovery
It has cured me of Catarrh, Sore Throat Heart
Disease, Spine Affection, and Torpid Liver.
NY liver was very bad. My skin was rough.
When put my hand on my body it was like
fish scales. Now it is smooth and soft as a
child's. In conclusion will say have been
well for three months. l am wonder to my

Three years ago I built barn, and,
thinking I would be merciful to my
COWS, had the platform on which the
COWS had to stand built four feet and
nine inches long, with only two inches
drop. I tried this almost two years,
but I found the COWS got very dirty,
especially in the spring and fall. ]
then took it up, made the platform foul
feet six inches in length and six inches
drop. I found this quite an improve.
ment, but still it did not quite suit me
and this fall | made the platform -four
feet and four inches long, with slam
of one and half inches from front te
rear, the drop being six inches at the
rear, as before. This, I find, works
like charm with my COWS, which arr
medium size; but for larger cattle tn,
platform would want to be from two t.
four inches longer. If I was going Il
improve it all, I would make the drol
platform an inch or two higher. CORE

Lightning at Cane May.

A new house at Cape May, just COM
pleted for the use Of Mr.. Hallenbach as a
first-class private boarding house, facing
the beach near the Stockton House, was
struck by lightning on Monday afternoon
In terrific thunderstorm.
The electric fluid tore everything in its
progress from the roof of the cupola to the
main roof Of the house to the ground, leay-
ing hole foot wide by eight feet in
length. The building was saved by the
tin roof The building, worth some
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars, had a
narrow escape.

Struck by lightning.

Daring the prevalence of heavy thunder
storm few days ago, the barn on the farm
of Mr.. Abba Akers, in Monroe township
Bedford county, was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground. There were
five horses in the stable which were remov-
ed with considerable trouble. A spring
wagon pulled out by Mrs. Akers was on
fire but was saved without serious damage.
About one hundred and fifty bushels of
grain, threshing machine, lot of hay,
straw, and all the harness, saddles and bri-
dies and considerable quantity of hams
and bacon were burned with the building.
The loss win probably reach $4,000 which
falls heavily on Mr.. .Akers who is an indus
trious and hard-working farmer.

FOrgerIes by a Farmer.

A United States government service de-
tective arrived at N. Y :, last week with war
rant from Governor Hartranft of Pennsyl-
vania, for Levi Saunders, wealthy far
mer and cattle dealer at Waynesborough,
Franklin county, Pa, charged with ex-
tensive forgeries on the Franklin county
bank, at Chambersburg. The officers
tracked him from N. Y, to the suspen-
sion bridge, Niagara Falls, and found him
boarding on the Canada side, under the
name of Jarvis Stevens. The postmaster
on the American side enticed him across to
get letter. and he was arrested as he was
stepping off the Grand Trunk cars. He
was taken to Pennsylvania under the
requisition upon Governor Dix, and after
being fully identified was locked up in the
Franklin county Jail on Saturday. The
prisoner has been fugitive since 1872. He
is charged, among other acts, with having
forged the signatures of Simon Lecrone
and j. Nicodemus, two rich Pennsylvania
stock spectators, as Endorsements on five
checks of 80, 900 each, which he drew on
the Union bank of Philadelphia, where he
had an account. He passed four of the
. checks on the Franklin county bank, but on
presenting the fifth one Mr.. johnson, the
bank cashier, refused to discount it be-
cause of some discrepancy in the figures.
Subsequent investigation revealed all the
forgeries, and also showed that Saunders
had personally sent all the checks, except
the four named, day before they matured
at the Union bank. Saunders is also ac-
cused of stealing several thousand dollars
belonging TO an estate for which he was
assignee. Detectives have been looking
for him for two years.

Crop Reports.

The Chicago Times publishes several col
umns Of crop reports from various points
throughout the States of Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota
and Kansas, from which it appears that on
an average the wheat sown is much in ex-
cess of that of last year, and that the yield
promises to be quite up to the average, and
in corn, oats and barley fully up to the av-
erage. The average amount of land has
been seeded and the crop will be large.
Fruits of all descriptions never looked bet
ter. In several counties in Iowa, Kansas
and Minnesota the grasshoppers and chin
copee bugs have made their appearances.

A Curiosity.

There has been, for several days past, on
exhibition at the News Book Store, pair
of deer antlers that may be regarded in the
light of curiosites. These antlers were
found Sabbath afternoon, by George Clev-
er, Jr., over Kato's mountain, in Forsaken
Hollow, who, with others, was fighting the
flames from further devastation in that To-
cality. The horns were found interlaced
Or locked, and the skeletons of the animals
were entire. The conclusions are, that
the bucks met in deadly encounter, and
their horns having become entangled, they
suffered, starved and died in that cOndi-
ton. The horns, or branches are of un-
usual size, one having six and the other ten
or more spikes, and are in excellent pre-
servation. We are indebted to Mai. Geo.
Clever for these facts, and the privilege of
an exhibition of the curiosity in question.

to grand jury, embracing all the points

The clerk of the court sends copies of this

is drawn, and when they come to court
they have studied and understand Their

tic express was passing between New
Buffalo and Niles two unknown men
forced open the front door of the express
car and knocked down ]. b. Heath, mes
senger, who was asserting his money pack
ages for the different stations. One of
the robbers seized package containing
$27, 900, jumped from the car and escaped,
leaving the other struggling with Heath
in darkness, the light having been extin-
guished. Heath finally drew his pistol
and shot the scoundrel in the head and
then fell insensible from his injuries. AS
the train approached Niles he recovered
sufficiently to call for help, but was unable
to rise. The robber lived only few Sec
onds after he was taken from the car.
