The Pulse.

Every person should know how to ascer-
tain the state of the pulse in health, then by
comparing it with what it is when he is all
ing, he may have some idea of the urgency
of his case. Parents should know the healthy
pulse of each child-as now and then
person is born with peculiarly slow or fast
pulse, AID the very case in hand may be that
popularity. An infants pulse is one hun
dred and forty; child of seven about egh-
ty; and from twenty to sixty years it is sew
enty beats Il minute, declining to sixty at
four score. A healthful grown persons pulse
beats seventy times a minute; there may be
good health down to sixty; but if pulse
always exceeds seventy there is disease; the
machine is working itself out; there is fever
or inflammation somewhere, and the body is
feeding on itself, as in consumption, when
the pulse is quick-that is, over seventy,
gradually increasing, with decreased chances
to cure, until it reaches one hundred and
twenty, when death comes before many days.
When the pulse is over seventy for months
and there is slight cough the lungs are af-
fected. The pulse decreases when recum-
bent position is assumed for any length OF
time and is increased by exercise, stimulants
and the presence of food in the stomach

knelt by the stretcher, he opened his eyes
and smiled-a faint remembrance of his
former cheerful smile. Then his lips were
seen to move, as if he would have spoken to
them.
"Hush - said one Of the rough but pitying
bystanders. ole wants to speak to you,
SIR"
"The pocket" whispered Henry-"pack-
age--for you-take it out"
The man who had spoken, obeyed his
wish, and drew forth roll of bank notes.
"rhe debt-all-paid |" gasped Henry.
"Oh, my poor fellowp said Mr.. Deverell,
"where was the need of this"
"Honor-contented now" he murmured,
more brokenly still. Then, with a feeble
attempt to:give utterance to his satisfaction,
and momentary Frightening Of the dull
eye as it turned towards Evelyn, he sank
quietly into insensibility.
Days went by that seemed like long dim
nights full of strange fancies and racking
pains that would only be quelled by the
vision of one sweet face and the touch of one
soft hand, and then he awoke to reality.
Other days went by, and the deep, tender
yearning that had arisen in his heart at last
found vent in words. And as he spoke, over
the beautiful face of her whom he had pitied
and succored in distress, there broke a smile,
in whose happy radiance he saw all his
hopes fulfilled.

How Not to be SWindled.

We clip an item from an exchange, which
it will be well for farmers and others liable
to be swindled by patent-rights men, venders
of wonderful secrets, travelling agents, ETC.,
to carefully read and duly heed. To avoid
being swindled, our contemporary suggests
action upon these general principles: Never
listen to any proposition which is commend
ed to you as giving opportunities to make
money dishonesty, or by selling an article
for more than its worth. The man who pro-
poses to have you defraud others, will cheat
you if he has a good opportunity. AS a rule
when stranger proposes to sell you any ar
ticle at very much less than its value, it is
safe to decline buying, unless you are a good
judge of the article. Never make purchase
or contract with a stranger when his assur-
ance is the only evidence you have of value
Never sign paper presented by a stranger
without reading it and being sure you under,
stand its character. As rule, avoid engag-
ing in any enterprise, however attractive ii
may appear, if outside your usual business
Buy of and sell to whom you know personal
ly, or who are engaged in regular, perma-
nent business, whenever this can be done
Other things being equal, buy and sell in the
market nearest home.

The baleful influence of the Beecher scan
dal has destroyed the confidence hitherto re-
posed in the cloth. In the rural districts
this effect is alarmingly noticeable. On
Sunday last this distrust deprived an estima-
BILE matron of the opportunity, to her most
dear, of attending divine servicein the church
of her choice. The scene is pleasant vii
lage and the minister and the lady are near
neighbors their respective residences being
separated only by the width of the main
street. The minister is middle aged, good
natured, and a favorite. 1t was his custom
every Sunday to give his estimable parishioner
a seatin the family carriage, so that she might
not have to walk half mile to the church.
On Sunday the dominie's carriage drew up
in front of the lady's door. She was wait
ing, and bustling down, prepared to get in,
declining the parsons prohered aid. Sud-
denly she noticed that he was alone.
"Where is your wife?" she asked abruptly.
"She is not well enough to go to church to
day" was the reply. hereisyour daugh-
ter ?" was the nextquery, and the answer was,
"Shc stayed at home to take care Of her
mother" An instant of hesitation followed.
Then the lady turned her back upon herpas-
tor, saying, 81 guess 1 won't go to church
with you; there is so much scandal about
nowadays" She is ninety years of age.

IN ABSENCE.

The storm that snapped our atcs fair ship in twain.
Hath blown my half o the wreck from thine apart.
o Love o WIfc across the gray-waved main
To thee-ward strain my eyes, my arms my heart.
ask my God II cen In Ills sweet place,
Where, by one waving Of n wlstful wing,
Ny soul could straightway tremble face to face
with thee, with thee, across the stellar ring
Yea, where thine absence could noer bewatl
Longer than lasts that little blank OF bliss
When lips draw back with rcccntpressure pale,
To round and rcdden for another kiss
Would not my hungry heart stil sigh for thee
What time the lone giss-interyals must be?
SO do the notified formulas OF sense
Glide snakcwisc through my dreams OF aftcrtlne
SO errors breed in the reeds and grasses dense
That bank my singing ryulets OF rhyme.
BY Sense rule Space and Time; but In Gods Land
Their intervals are not, save such "a lie
BctwlXt successive tones In concords bland
Whose loving distance makes the harmony.
Ah there shall never come 'twXt me and theo
Gross dlssonances Of the mile, the year,
But in the multchords Of ecstasy
our souls shall mingle, yet he featured clear,
And absence, rhythmcd to intervals divine,
Shall part yet link, thy natures tone and mine
Look down the shining peaks Of all my days
BaSc-hiddcn In the canons Of deep night,
SO shall thou see the heights and depths OF praise
My love would render unto wife-delight;
For would make each day a mount sublime
or passionate snow, heart-hot yet gacier-clear,
White crystals Of the true-loves OF all time
Spring the worlds prismatic atmosphere;
And would make each night an awful valo
Deep as thy soul, obscure as modesy
With every star in heaven trembling pale
Ger sweet profOunds where only Love can see.

When we set out we did not intend to
write as much as we have written. But the
themes with which we have been dealing
are of the deepest interest. In conclusion,
we welcome the members of the National
Grange to Louisville and to kentucky and
we are confident that The more they know
of our city and this noble old State the be-
ter they will like both. They are all good
men and true. Their steps thus far have
been wisely directed. They have and are
entitled to the confidence of their constit,,-
ents and we are sure that whatever is done
will be well done-will be done in a way
that the lawmakers of this nation would do
well to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Home Jou7m0l.

flames Howlet, St. Vrain, raised forty
five acres of wheat, average yield twenty
five bushels. L. f. Golding, on one hun
dred acres averaged thirty bushels. The
average yield for this section is about twen-
ty-five bushels to the acre and of the best
quality.-Col. Farmer.
Mr.. Ruben johnson raised an average of
thirty bushels to the acre on his rancho near
here, Notwithstanding the grasshoppers in
jured it severely. Forty bushels is not an
uncommo yield for Montana, and no doubt
some of our farmers can even beat this.
Since writing the above we have been in
formed from q reliable source, that Messrs.
Woods & Nafos, Of Deep Creek, Mo. valley,
had one wheat field which yielded an aver
age of fifty-ive bushels to the acre, and their
entire crop Of wheat averaged forty bush
els per acre.

MEETING OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE.

MIGAASV VI LIE NAAAUNf AL 0IS1ISGIs.
We pity the unfortunate gentlemenw who
appear in Louisville this week as the chief
officers and representatives Of the grea, or
ganiZation known as the Patrons Of 1us-
bandry. From every part of the Union
they cone to our city, each bearing his
own heavy load of care, and each rejoiced
to reach the happy spot where he can lay
that load down and rest his weary bones,
at least for a little while. 1t is fearful to
think of the mental torture those poor men
have suffered for months past. For all
men and all misrepresentation, reli-
gious, observation-disclosures given them sage
advise as to the course they ought to pur-
sue on the arrival of the great occasion
which has now come. And just to think
Of the range Of theme to which that advice
relates! The National Changers must be
solid, even-tempered men, or their patience
under the trying ordeal to which they
have been exposed would long since hive
been exhausted.
The chief value to be attached to the
feeling in this way manifested, consists in
the evidence thus unconsciously furnished
OF the Importance which belongs to the
movements of the Order, and of the great
interest taken in its action. The Grange is
no longer a tit subject for caricature. It's
enemies fear it, or hate it, or do both.
The only parties that should be hostile to
the Grange movement are the non-produc-
ing classes-the social parasites Of every
sort.
The charge of the National Grange is

We are permitted, through the politeness
of one of our most eminent citizens, to make
the following extracts from a private letter
dated at Philipsburg, Nov. 22d:
1.-THE N. w. Company's mill is not yet
finished. I do not think it will be ready to
run before the 1st of January. 1t will be a
ten stamp mill, with three revolving cylin-
ders for roasting the ore, and has a smoke
stack sixty feet high, built of brick. 1t will
not be a very large mill, but | think it will
be a good one. The company have, also, a
good mine; good ore and plenty of it. They
employ about twelve men in the mime at
present, and will employ about fifty in all,
when the mill is completed.
The st. Louis Company are putting a new
engine and some other new machinery in
their mill, and, / am told, will be ready to
run in a few weeks. They employ fifteen or
twenty men in their mine. 1t is called the
Hope.
The Belmont Company started up pm the
Commanche lode and run two or three
months. They also commenced to build a
mill at the same time, but the whole thing
was shut down on account of a failure on
the part of the Company East to send out
the %greenbacks. They say they will start
up again soon.
Times are dull at present, but the prospect
is that they will be good in the spring.
Wages for outside hands are So. 25 per day +;
for miners, $e5 per month. Board, from
81 to SIS per week. So, you see, there is
nothing to keep a man from getting rich:
it is only a question of time.
There are a few Diamond City folks here,
among whom are M. III. Collins, Jack O'Con-
nell and Jack Smith. Your friend, Pleasant
Miller is here; also, a number of others from
Cedar. They say Cedar is about done for.
A dozen men stay therethis winter. Quartz
creek has improved a little. Nine-mile does
not amount to much outside of the patented
ground, which is all owned by one company.
The snow here'is about eighteen inches
deep, and weather pretty cold" Il

THE RELEASE OF TWEED.

American sooiety is once more scandali2ed
through the New York Tammsny robber, Wm.
II. Tweed In sll the records Of law and Court
the parallel Of this strange case is hardly to be
found. The disgrace attendant on it seems to
bs never ending. beginning in the low state of
social morality which renders such crime possi-
bls, the public was afterwsrd brought to face the
humiliating fact that the law itself, with all its
supposed safeguards, has not been
able to withstand the influence OF
plunder yet held in reserve. No one believes
If Tweed were the poor man he is represented
to be that these unprecedented efforts to free
him from the punishment for his crimes would
be taken, and there ia no sensible person but
who feels sure that much Of the plumber is yet
virtually under his control.
It has only been few days since the New
York papers we're reading us instructive
homilies the uselessness Of sin, as illustrated
by the fate of the Tammany Ring. Most i'm
pressive these lectures were, and it is we'll they
were published in good season printed to-day
they might read rather swkwardly. One Of the
thieves pardoned barely week since, the
price Of his revelations of the working of the
gang his statement riyeting the chains of guilt
yet more closely about the chief criminal and
the sheets containing the monstrous story hardly
dry from the press before the man who wanted
contemptuousy to know Of the defrauded tax
payers "what they were going to do about tits
set free . 1t is almost enough to destroy every
confidence in Bench and Bar.
The famous query of the Boss attains a
wider meaning than the robber gave it. What
are the American people going to do about 1t
when it is proven that the law can be wrenched
this way and that under the influence Of con-
sderations sordid aud debasing in any view, but
which become in the highest degree offensive to
morality when they seek to sway the arm of JUS
tice Nor will it at all satisfy tho popular
sense OF right in thiscase to be told Of technical
errors in the legal measures taken to convict
Tweed. That conviction WAS successfully fought
- -" aa.-'r '"".'H" rNr vv,m, i,unur ,,,r
guilt? Not even the lawyers who have efrectet
his rolease. II justice cannot be dealt 30 shame
less an offender what hope is there in an Ameri
can Court? The secret Of it all we have N:
question will one day be found in the
fact that the robber managed to so dispose OF q
portion Of his booty that tho authorities could
not seize it, and that the money has since been
devoted to perverting the law, through agencies
which are unhappily always open to such ap-
proaches. However regarded, and whether
Tweed ia yet brought to satisfactory punishment
or not, the case must remain lasting shame to
New York and to the country.
