Our Character.

Our moral character in lite is formed by
its surroundings as the icicle is formed, drop
by drop. If the water is clean the icicle will
shine brightly in the sun full of prismatic
hues: but if the water is muddy it will look
foul and dead. just so our characters are
formed. If our lives are spent within the
elements of intellectual surroundings, our
thoughts will be pure and bright, and the
soul will sparkle with light and happiness;
but if nursed in ignorance and darkness, they
will become permanently imbued with foul
to society that We create for ourselves some
definite object or purpose-no matter whether
it be literary, scientific, artistic, social or
political, 80 that there is something that we
can look back upon in afteryears and remem-
Der with pride.

A New Story of Mr.. Lincoln.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
In his speech a. Mr. Beecher's house at
Peekskill, on Monday night, the Hon. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew was lmpelled, by an aliusion
to the great amount OF testimony and the lit
tie evidence taken in the six months trial of
the Tilton suit, to tell an anecdote of the late
President Lincoln, which we do not remem-
ber to have seen printed. MIR. Depew pre-
faced it by saying that when, as Secretary Of
State Of New York, he visited Washington
in 1864 to look after the army vote, he had
occasion frequently to refer matters directly
to MIR. Lincoln, who one day was reminded
of story, which be declared was one of the
only two anecdotes original with him, not
withstanding his reputation for STORYTELLING
Il only apply the good stories others tell me"
the Presiden, said. The story which he there
upon proceeded to tell Mr. Depew WAS to the
effect that many years ago, when practicing
in Illinois, he had appeared for the defendant
in a case OF assault and battery, in which the
complainant did not seem to be very much
injured, although he had been through
long series of brawls. In the course of the
plaintiffs examination, MIR. Lincoln asked
''How much ground did you fight over ?"
"About six acres, was the reply. ''Don't
you Think asked Mr.. Lincoln, ''that was an
almighty small crop of fight for so much
ground ?" Amid the roars of laughter which
followed, and in which the voice of Mr.. Beech
er was heard above all others, Mr.. Depew sug-
gested that it was needless to make the appli-
cation to such quickly appreciative audi
ence,

Building q House i'm Eight Hours.

The Americans are celebrated all over the
world for the admirable system with which
they do their work, whereby they save both
time and money. A gentleman in Lancaster,
who is said to have built two-story brick
house there in nineteen hours, intends to
build similar house, twenty-four by forty
feet, on the Centennial grounds next summer
and to do the work in eight hours. The cor
nice is to be of galvanized iron, and the con-
tractor for that part of the work is to be al
lowed half an hour in which to put it up, al
though he thinks he can do it in half the time.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.

Probably there is no complaint that
affiicts the human system, which is so
little understood at the present time, as
some of the varied forms of Kidney
Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such
acute pain or more alarming in its re-
suits than when the kidneys fail to Sc
crete from the blood the uric acid, and
other poisonous substances, which the
blood accumulates in its circulation
through the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to
perform the functions devolying upon
them, the cumulatiOns are taken up Dy
the absorbents and the whole system
thrown into state of disease, causing
great pain and suffering, and very often
Immediate death. Hence the Importance
of keeping the kidneys and blood in
healthy condition, through which all the
impurities of the body must pass.

PAIN In THE BACK.

There is no remedy known to medical
science which has proved itself more
valuable in eases of Kidney Complaints
than the VEGETINE. 1t acts directly
upon the secretions, cleanses and puri-
fies the blood, and restores the whole
system to healthy action.
The following extraordinary cure of
great sufferers, who had been given up
by the best physicians as hopeless cases,
will speak for themselves, and should
challenge the most profound attention
of the medical faculty, as well as of
those who are suffering from Kidney

NEARLY BLIND.

III. r. STEVENS: Dear Sir--In express
ing my thanks to you for benefits de-
rived from the use of VEGETINE, and to
benefit others, | will state:-
When eight or nine years old was
afflicted with Scrofula, which made its
appearance i'm my eyes, face and head
and was very near blind for two years.
All kinds of operations were performed
on my eyes, and all to no good result.
Finally the disease principally settled i'll
my body, limbs and feet, and at times
in an aggravated way.
Last Summer was, from some cause,
weak in my spine and kidneys, and it
was at times very hard to retain the
urine. Seeing your advertisement in
tine Commercial, l bought bottle of
VEGETINE, and commenced using ac-
cording to directions. In two or three
days obtained great relief. After using
four or five bottles [ noticed it had a
wonderful effect on the rough, scaly
blotches on my body and legs. l still
used VEGETINE and the humorous sores
one after another disappeared until they
were all gone, and l attribute the cure
of the two diseases to VRGETINE, and
nothing else.
If am ever affected with anything of
the kind again shall try VEGErINE as
the only reliable remedy. Once more
accept my thanks, and believe me to be,
Very respectfully,
AUSTIN PARROTT,

Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, etc.,
are always unpleasant, and at times they
become the most distressing and dan
gerous diseases that can affect the hu-
man system. Most diseases of the Kid
neys arise from impurities i'm the blood,
causing humOrs which settle on these
parts. VEGETINE excels any known
remedy in the whole world for cleansing
and purifying the blood, thereby caus-
ing healthy action to all the organs of
the body.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists.

many years with Kidney Complaint,
weakness in my back and stomach. |
was induced by friends to try Your VEG
rrINE, and 1 think 1t the best medicine
for weakness of the kindeys | ever used.
I have tried many remedies for this COM
plant, and never found SO much relief
as from the VEGETINE. 1t strengthens
and invigorates the whole system. Many
of my acquaintances have taken it, and
believe it to be good for all the COM
plants for which it is recommended.

good effects from the first dose took,

weak bay rum down your back and over

his stipend with an air of virtuous con
