pains ever knew. My doctor who practiced in my
family for over thirty years. to my entire satisac

said that medicine would do no good-he could
not help me, time probably would, and in six or
eight weeks it might leave me; in the meantime
mast grin and bear It," But was not disposed to
do so, and in my desperation caught at the first art-
cle which under the name of Quack or Patent Medi-
cine or any other remedy, promised relief 1t hap
pened that this was the
Diamond Rheumatic Cure,

Mr.. Phelps is gentleman well and favorably

1874, the only telegraph in the United
States was from Baltimore to Washing

ton. We nominated Silas Wright as
Vice-President of the United States, and
the Convention directed me to notify him
of his nomination and learn if he would
accept it. sent dispatch, and he an
swered Immediately that he declined the
nomination, The Convention, however,
refused to consider the information as
authentic. They could not be made to
understand this way of communication,
and adjourned the Convention over to
the next day to enable committee to go
to Washington by rail, where Mr.. Wright
was, and get at the truth of the fact
So we adjourned over, and on the next
day the committee came back with the
same answer we had received by wire
And so incredulous were the great ma
jority of the body, that, after the final
adjournment, many of us went 70 the

After reading a few more lines she

"And he misses my society so much !"
Half way down the page she spoke
again:
''And he calls me his sunbeam-his

She climbed up on the sill little fur

"And he's lost three pounds of flesh

She reached the top of the fourth page

Further down she growled

1t is generally believed that on April

prior claim in favor of one William
French, who was killed on the night OF
March ID, 1775, at the Kings Court
House, in what is now Westminster.
At that time Vermont was part of New
York, and the Kings court officers,
together with body of troops, Were
sent ON to Westminster to hold the usual
session of the court
The people, however, were exasper-
ated, and assembled in the Court House
to resist. A little before midnight the
troops of George the Third advanced
and fired Unfortunately upon the
crowd, instantly killing William French,
whose head was pierced by musket
ball. He was buried in the church
yard, and stone erected to his mem

HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.

1 will give my mode, the result being
very satisfactory /: First of all get good
article-that is, coffee that will brown
well-this can be tested easily, as the
grains should swell almost twice the size
when Drowned than when green; brown
it evenly; never leave the stove when
once the Coffee has commenced to
brown, or you will burn it, and good
coffee cannot be made out of charcoal.
l have an Old-fashioned mill, the kind
that are nailed upon the wall that mill
three-folrths full makes sufficient coffee
for four persons. After grinding it
put it in bowl, pour some white of egg
to clarity, then dampen thoroughly with
cold water, stirring well to mix the egg
through completely, then pour into the
boiler, and to this add three pints of
cold water, instead of hot, as many use.
Set the boiler upon the fire, and as the
coffee heats, stir it two or three times
before it arrives at the boiling point.
Let it boil for twenty-five minutes, set it
off, pouring in the spout of the boiler
about one tablespoonful of cold water,
which will clear away any grounds that
may be there. In five minutes it viii

TRUE PRESENCE OF MIND.

The following was related by man
who was at work on the farm where, and
at the time when, the event occurred:
a Mr.. Sutherland, of Ulster county.
n. Y, besides extensive farming opera
tons, raised large numbers of cattle.
One day his daughter, girl of fifteen,
had occasion to pass through meadow
where the cattle were grazing, as she
had often done before. Among the cat
tie were two bulls, one an old brindle,
which the girl had petted from calfhood,
and the other young black rascal,
treacherous and beligerent. On the oc-
casion In question the girl came near to
the black bull, and, with q smothered
roar, he started toward her. The girl
saw, and was for the moment paralyzed
with terror What was she to do?
There was not fence, nor stump, nor
protecting rock, within half mile. To
run would have been death. Instantly
her senses came to her. She thought of
old Brindle, larger and stronger, she
knew, than the black, and with swift
steps she ran to the patriarch's side, and
patted him upon the shoulder.
"Brindle want potato 2 she saba

for such queer occurrence was ascer-
