A Dormant Wasp.

Says the Burlington Hawkeye: l
West Hill minister picked up . frozes
wasp on the sidewalk yesterday, and
with view to advancing the interest,
Of science, he carried it in the house
and held it by the tail while he warmed
its ears over . lamp-chimney. His OBJ;
ject was to see if wa ps froze to DEATH
or merely lay dormant during the win
ter. He is of tho opinion that they
merely lie dormant, and the dormantest
kind 1t that, and when they revive, he
says, the tail thaws out first, for while
this ones head, right over the lamp,
was 30 stiff and cold it could not wink,
its probe worked with such inconceiv.
able rapidity that the minister couldn't
gasp fast enough to keep mp with it.
He threw the vicious thing down the
lamp-chimney, and said he didn't want
to have any more truck with . dormant
wasp, at which his wife burst into tears
and asked how he, minister Of the
gospel, could use such language, right
before the children, too.

Stones of Size.

I Some of the blocks of granite used
| in the construction of the treasury
building at Washington are the largest
eve. moved in this country, and they
were all carried from the eastern part
of Maine. They were transported to
Washington by water, and, after their
arrival there, moved by OK power upon
q sort of double pulley system, dis
lance of two miles, to the spot where
lthey were wanted for use. Tie work of
moving them was performed with COM
parative ease. not more than eight or
ten yoke of oxen being employed to
move block weighing more than sew
enty tons. The futed pillars, great
building, are forty feet long, and weigh
fifty tons at least. The largest blocks,
thirty to forty feet square and thirty
feet thick weighed upward of seventy
tons. The facility with which these
large blocks were moved and fixed in
their places were q source of wonder
ment, and seemed to admiring specta-
tors to be the perfection of mechanical
skill and ingenuity. And yet how in
significant the achievement when
compared with the triumphs of an
Gent art. In the foundation of
the great temple of the sun
at Balbec may still be seen, even in the
second course, stones which are thirty
seven feet long and nine feet thick and
under these, about twenty feet from the
ground, three stones which alone occupy
one hundred and eighty-two feet IN

fragrant with gin? What was it to me
that his grammar was bad, bis construc-

art that it was an element of weakness
rather than strength in his CONVERSE

who had seen trouble, and that was
enough for me. As he mellowed into
his plaintive history his tears dripped
upon the lantern in his lap, and I cried
too from sympathy. He said he was

The other night, says the Burlington
Hawkeye, q man who lives ont on Co

when he got home put an iron on the
stove, and when she heard BIN open the

ugly feet by. The man was cold and

Non-Sitting Fowls.

The Buffalo Live Stock Journal gives
the following instructions to breeders,
in producing fowls that have no desire
to sit:
The non-sitters comprise all the diff
ferent kinds of Hamburgs, Spanish,
Leehorns and Polands, and also some
of the French fowls. To eradicate the
instinct, which is SO inherent in Wild
birds and so necessary to their existence,
poultry, keepers have taken the least
constant sitters for many generations,
to lay eggs for Matching. This is GU
rions instance of what can be done by
the breeders art, and is quite valuable
as division of labor works as economi-
cally in the poultry yard as in human
society. Non sitters, if we'll bred, will
not give one confirmed case of sitting
among fifty birds, though they some
times sit for a few hours day, but soon
leave off. They often have periods Of
laying off for several days or q week
These correspond to the sitting fever Of
the incubating breeds. The instances
of fowls sitting steadily, although b.
long to a breed of pure non-sitteu,
show reversion to the primitive type
when incubation was universal.

+" A Drop of joy I'm every Word"
FLEMINaToN, Hunterdon Co., N. J.,

June 26, 1874.
DR.. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. T.:
Dear Str-It is with happy heart that I
pen these lines to acknowledge that you and
your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative
IRsile5e 80 .tSs~ssn1Es TO the world. These
medicines cannot be too highly praised, for
they have almost brought me out OF the grave.
Three months ago was broken out with large
ulcers and sores on my body, limbs and face.
procured your Golden Medical Discovery and
Purgative Pellets, and have taken six bottles,
and to-day I am in good health, all those ugly
ulcers having healed and left my skin in nat
ural, healthy condition. I thought at one
time could not be cured. Although 1 can
but poorly express my gratitude to you, yet
there is drop of joy in every word I write.
Gods blessing rest on you and your wonderful
medicines is the humble prayer of
Yours truly, JAMES 0. BELLS.
When 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 i'll the catalogue of quack
patent nostrums by recommending it to cure
every disease. nor does he SO recommend it /;
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 cancer. He does not
recommend his Discovery for that disease yet
he knows it to be the most searching blood
the blood and system Of all other known poi
cons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral
The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to
cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all
forms of blotches pimples and eruptions, also
all glsndular 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 spinal diseases, all of which belong
to scrofulous diseases.

Chunks Of Wisdom.

Too much rest itself becomes a pain.
Pleasure of every kind quickly salts
fies.
Necessity makes dastards valiant men.
By sowing frugality we reap liberty,
a golden harvest.
Gayety is the souls health sadness
is its poison.
A great mind will never give an af-
front nor bear it.
The less we parade our misfortunes
the more sympathy we command.
Most of our misfortunes are more
supportable than the comments of our
friends upon them.
1t is not only old and early impress
sions that deceive us the charm of
novelty has the same power. 60
