HoPE.-We are born in hope we
pass our childhood in hope; we are
governed by hope through the whole
course of our lives and in our last mo-
ments hope is fiattering us, and not till
the beating of our heart shall cease,
will its benign influence leave us.

TEE TULIP TRKK.-This noble tree
deserves q place on every lawn, as it
seldom fails to develop itself into q
stately specimen in any good, deep,
well drained soil. In habit of growth,
it closely resembles the common maple,
but its conspicuous orange-tinted BIOS
SONS and scaly fruits at once suggest
its near affinity to magnolias, to which
it belongs. The flowers are not unlike
those of a tulip, and hence the name by
which it is most generally known. The
broadly expanded leaves, instead of
being palmste as In The plane, are IL
regularly four -lobed, and somewhat
resemble saddle in conformation /; and
it is sometimes called in the vernacular
the saddle tree, from this peculiarity.
The flowers are profusely borne during
the summer months and although not
strikingly ornamental on the tree on
account of their being somewhat hidden
amid the ample foliage, when cut and
arranged in a vase with the foliage that
naturally belong to them, they have q
distinct and striking appearance. This
tree is from 100 to 80 feet in hight, but
in Europe it rarely exceeds 40 or so
feet. In the old arboretum at CHS
wick, England, there used to be two
specimens of this fine tree, one having
much larger and brighter colored flow
ers than the other and, doubtless,
other varieties of it exist where plants
are raised from seeds. All through the
summer the foliage is of a fresh, pale
green and in the autumn, it dies off a

might, therefore. be obtained by group
ing it with quercus cOccinea or the
purple-leaved beech. In addition to its
ornamental properties, its distinct and
noble port commencing it at once to
the notice of intending planters, it is
valuable as a timber tree, the wood
being firm in texture and capable OF
taking a fine polish.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE On our per-
sonal appearance and habits much of
our success in life depends. There
have been many instances where the
soul, shining through MANNED or de-
formed body, has conquered the ad-
verse circumstances. This is far easier
to do than to overcome an offensive or
disagreeable trick of behavior for
society will accord its pity and SYM
pathy to natural defects, but for ac-
quired ones it only reserves its disgust.
Every reader will recall to mind some
person toward whom he or she has felt
repugnance almost uncomfortable,
merely from an offensive habit such an
one has formed-sometimes a mere turn
of the lip, cast of the eye, or n pecu-
liar infection of the voice. Often n
practice has been formed of clearing the
throat, or splitting profusely about, or
picking the ears, or some other vulgar
habit, These things will create dis
taste for such persons in a fsstidious
mind, and deny it as we may, or call 1t
'sgueamish, or "silly," We are all of
us more or less fastidious.
It is the duty of every person to make
himself agreeable to others. Most of
those peculiarities of manner which
create aversion are spontaneous in their
origin, but become so habitual that we
are unconscious of them. Many of
them were formed in childhood, when
habits are easily acquired, which are
not easily removed in after years.
While We cannot like everybody or be
lived by everybody in return, still we
can take especial care that We do not
make ourselves personally offensive by
habits and ways that shock the delicate
fastidiousness of those around us.

CURE FOR RISGwoRM.-A simple and
harmless application, said unfailingly
to cure this troublesome eruption, is
found by washing with solution made
from the root OF the common narrow

For child, smaller doses, according
to age. If counties would compel their

no need of pest houses. IL you value

When a medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood Of
the virulent poison causing them, who can
longer doubt its wonderful virtues? DIR.
Pierce. however, does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue
of quack patent nOstrums by recommending
it TO cure every disease, nor does he so re-
commend il; but what he does claim is this,
that there is but one form of blood disease
that it will not cure. and that disease is can
GER. lie does not recommend his Discovery
for that disease, yet he knows it TO be the
most searching blood cleanser yet discov-
cred, and that it will free the blood and
system Of all other known blood poisons, be
they animal, vegetable or mineral. The
Golden Discovery is rdTraHtei by him to
cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as
all forms of Blotches, Pimples and Erup-
tons, also all Glandular Swellings, and the
worst form of Scrofulous and liberated
Sores of Neck, Legs or other parts, and all
ScrOfulous Diseases of the Bones, as White
Swellings, Fever Sores. Hip Joint and Spi-
nal Diseases, all of which belong to Scrolu-

on a recent Sunday morning, the usual

DOMESTIC.

DEATH IN THE SIRUP JUG.-Probably
there ara very few articles OF daily con-
sumption which are not adulterated IN
a more or less vile manner. One OF the
most scoundrel like impositions that
unscrupulous rascals practice upon
long suffering public is the scandalous
compound sold as sugar sirup. 1t is as
serted that nearly fifty percent. OF the
article sold under the seductive names
of golden sirup, silver drops, etc, is
rank poison, formed by the action of
sulphuric acid upon some of the sub
stances containing the essential OF wood
fibre. The quantity of sulphuric acid
used to form sugar by this process is so
great that it cannot bethoroughly extrac-
ted enough from the product. 1t leaves
to be dangerous even to the stomachs
of robust men-excessively so to the
more delicate organizations OF children,
who use far more of the article than
grown persons.
Since public attention has been called
to this rascality, many instances have
come TO light of mysterious sickness
which disappeared on the use of this
breakfact dainty being discontinued.
Severe burning pains st the stomach,
and racking headaches are among the
lighter symptoms of sirup poisoning.
A case is mentioned where the cork IN
a keg of sirup sent for the use OF
lumberman's camp was found to be
nearly eaten away. Fancy vile drug
which will corrode cork, gnawiDg away
at the coat of ones stomach. We will
in future worry down our buckwheat
cakes without the adventitious aid of
sweetening, unless sufficient guarantees
of the character of the article be fur
nished with it.
Fortunately, the detection of the
pernicious stuff is easy. A small quan-
tity of muriate or nitrate of baryta,
mixed with water, make a clear solu-
ton. If to this be added a small
quantity of sulphuric acid a white
precipitate is formed, which is insolu-
BILE in water. Tannin also gives black
precipitate, unless the acid has been
by albumen.
IL any of our readers have reason for
looking upon their matutinal sirup with
let them at once take a
to chemist and have it ana
lyzed. If found to be dangerous, let the
makers and retailers be prosecuted with
the same vigor that Wholesale murderers
would meet with.

n CLERGYMAN IN A QUANDARY.
Saratogian has th) following : Come
in here, You black rascal That is
what the young lady said. The young
lady, you see, was closing the window
blinds at the twilight hour, and seeing
her little black dog sitting out on the
stoop wagging his tail, and wistfully
looking up at her, her heart was moved
with an impulse of affection toward her
pet canine, shivering in the cold and
wagging out his mute appeal. So she
hastened to the door. and, throwing it
open, gave vent to the loving express
sion We have quoted-'Come in here,
you black rascal? 2 So far as the dog
was concerned he seemed to understand
the terms of enGearment addressed
him, but when the young lady's pastor,
dressed all in black from top to toe,
stepped forward from the shady side of
the doorway he wore a curious express
sion on his countenance. The young
lady looked at the reverend gentleman
and blushed. The dog wagged his tail
as if willing to divide the honors. We
don't know exactly how it came out.
But report has it that the good man
regarded dOubtfully the ebony beast,
glanced at his own broadclOth, con-
cluded it was all right, and accepted

tion that 1-I-meant the other-the

OBITUARY.

Our readers viii have noticed IN last week :
paper the announcement of the death ofone,
who has become quite a celebrity, and was
known to the travelling public for nearly forty
wears. We allude to Mr. Divid Starner,
whose death took place on the 9th inst Mir.
s. was native Of this place, and at least for
~ years Of his life was spent as stage driver
between Eastou and Stroudsburg or between
Stroudsburg and Milford. Indeed from
quite Young manhood, until some six years
ago. since when he has been sufferer from
the disease of which he died, he may be said
10 have occupied the scat on the stage box,
both night and day. He lacked the advan-
tages Of education, because his youth passed
while educational advantages were rather
sparse in this neighborhood-bu he posses
sed truthworthiness and disposition to
oblice, which made him as usefulin his sphere,
as are the best Of those who occupy more
exalted positions among men, Accommoda
ting TO 2 degree, he was to the people along
the road what express companies are to-day,
with this difference that his terms were mod
crate, and his good Offices were always prompt
ly discharged and to the satisfaction of his
patrons Many a trip to Milford to Strouds-
burg and TO Easton were spared residents
along the road, by Davids perfect readiness
and promptness, and frequently bisstage box
Was literally packed with the fruits Of his
many commissions, aud yet Notwithstanding
his illiteracy and his inability to read, he was
never known to have made mistake, nor to
have failed in leaving the right package IL
the right place His power of memory was
but little short Of miraculous, and whether
with package or message, it was all the same,
Dave, as he was called by every one, was
always ready to meet his customer satisfac-
torily so far as his share Of the transaction
was concerned. About six years ago, while
in the pursuit of his ayocation he was attack
al gith paralysis, and for most of the time
since, he has been bed ridden. While we
regret the death Of one who in his day and
sphere was 50 useful, we do not feel that we
over step the bonds of good heartedpess when
wc say that death was relief at which his
own good soul rejoices He has left earth S
trials and tribulations-earths pains, and
earth which had ceased to be earth to his
clouded mind, aud, doubtless. his step from
time TO eternity, was but transition from
iifos trials here to far more glorious and
never ending bliss in heaven. His remains
were Inferred in the Cemetery on Friday last,
preceded by solemn services and an appro-
pirate sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Carrow, at
She Methodist Church.

The high water at the recent food
washed about four feet of earth from ten
to fifteen acres of land lying along the Ten
nessee river, near Louisville, Blount county,
Tenn. When the water subsidized a strange
spectacle was presented. Tho whole ofthe
denuded area was covered with skeletons.
Some were straight, some reclining, some
doubled up and some in sitting posture
There were the osseous forms of infants,
of children and of full grown persons.
Over one thousand forms have been coun-
ted. Persons who have lived in the vicini-
ty of this mysterious cemetery for more
than half century never heard of any
human bones being discovered there be-
fore, and the skeletons are not found in a
mound, nor in what appears to be unartifi-
cal formation of earth.
