ually awakening up to the fact that oat-
meal is by no means an unimportant ar
tlcle OF diet. As a food, the merit of
which has stood the test of centuries, and
whichtis designed to promote the santa
ry condition of the nation, by laying the
1oundation for more ready and vigorous
frames for the coming generation, let US
regard its adoption as an article of diet,
as nothing short of a national good. Its
phosphorus gives a healthful impulse to
the brain, and on no other food can one
endure 50 great or so prolonged mental
labor as on oatmeal porridge.-N. Y.

lives a mile from Gorham Village. Me.
He is a widower, and his h~ousekeeper is
a Mrs. Jewett. On Tuesday forenoon a
knock was heard at the front door, and
on opening it Mrs. Jewett, who was alone
in the house, saw a tramp standing there.
He asked to see the mistress of the house.
She replied that she was the only mistress
at the time. The man then inquired for
the gentleman of the house, and was told
he was down in the field. He appeared
very anxious to see him, and wanted Mrs.
Jewett to go down and call him. She re-
fused, and told the fellow she couldn't
talk with him any longer, and shut the
door in his face. While the lady was
talking she thought she heard some one
upstairs, so she went directly to her room
and, taking a pistol, stepped into another
room, where, sure enough, she was con-
fronted by a large and ugly-looking man,
who was e~ndeavoring to secrete himself
in a closet. With the utmost GOODNESS
Mrs. Jewett aimed her pistol at him and
requested him to depart. He demurred at
first, when the lady made another step
forward and cooked the pistol. The fell
low then ran downstairs and up the road

peared.-B0StOn Herald.

For the Blood rs the LTfe,ss

See Deuteronomy xii. %. The blood be-
ing the source from which the system is
built up, and from which we derive our
mental as well as physical capabilities, how
important that it should be kept pure!s If
it contain vile, fostering poisons, all organic
functions become enfecbled. Settling upon
important organs, as the lungs, liver and
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous.
Hence it behOOyeS all to keep their blood in
a perfectly healthy condition, and more
especially does this apply at this particular
season of the year than at any other. No
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause of a large proportion of all dis
eases is bad blood. Now, DIR. Pierce docs
not wish to place his Golden Medical Discov-
cry in the catalogue of quack patent nos
trums by recommending it to cure every
disease, nor does he so recommend it.; on
the contrary, there are hundreds of diseases
that he acknowledges it will not cure; but
what he does claim is this: that there is but
one form of blood disease thatit willnot 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-cleanser yet discovered, and that it
will free the blood and system of all other
blOOd-poisOns, be they animal, vegetable or
mineral. The Golden Medical Discovery is
1cdrTdnted by him to cure the worst forms Of
Skin Diseases, as all forms of BIotches,
Pimples and Eruptions; also all Glandular
~SWellings, and the worst form of S%crOfulOus
and liberated Sores Of the 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.

DR.. PIERCE, Buffalo. n. Y:
Dear Sjr-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually
becoming reduced, and her whole system
rotten with disease. In 1871 a swelling
broke on her hip, di~scharging large quanti-
ties, and since that time there are several
openings. Have had five doctors, at an ex-
pense of S125, who say nothing will do any
good but a surgical operation.
July 10, 1878, he writes thus: My wife has
certainly received a great benefit from the
use of your Discovery, for she was not able
to get off the bed and was not expected to
live a week when she commenced using it, a
year ago. She has been doing most of her
work for over six months. Has used twenty
bottles, and still using it. Her recovery is
considered as almost a miracle, and we attrib-
it all to the use of your valuable medi-
cine. / can cheerfully recommend it as a
and strength-restOrer.

AN English officer at a large dinner

The latter after dinner began Tipping"

equal to the occasion, and, without q mo-
ment's hesitation, said, smiIingly: "That's

far from being deferred from tic deed by the
presence of tho death penalty. the murderer
may have busted himself on that very day
in planning his awful crime. Whether the
man whom the police have secured is the guilty
one or not, there can be no doubt that
the murder was carefully prearranged. Ayoung
Jewess, who had always borne good charac-
ter, falls victim to the wiles of the man who
afterward robs her Of her life. She must be

TO be in company. Once beyond the houses,
the deed was soon done under cover OF the dark
ness. The mud on her knees and the cuts IN
the palms of her hands showed that the poor
creature was kneeling and praying for mercy
while struggling against the fierce stabs OF
the murderer's knife. When he stole away
from the place, after hiding his knife
under corn-stack, no doubt he thought
he was safe from detection. Safe Is

This is no new story. 1t has happened countless
times before, and doubtless will happen count
less times again. Its ccascless repetition does
not perhaps prove that capital punishment Is
useless or wrong; but it certainly shows that
we cannot depend upon hanging alone, or
chiefly, to prevent murders.

being penitent, said that, if he had known what
was to follow, he would have finished " the

new discovery in electricity gives several addi-
tional details respecting this strange form Of

is fair prospect that it can be strengthened by
new devices. This will be likely to help in
opening the way to making the new agent of

of experiments have yet to be tried before its
usefulness can be asccrtaned.

Plymouth Church appears more anxious to
have its UNCONVENTIONAL standing defined than
to 60 into the merits of the great scandal be-
fore other churches. The calling of an advisory
council TO consider whether Plymouth Church
has departed from Congregational usages
points clearly to this desire and the refusal
to have Mrs. Moulton's later charges brought
before the Mutual Council, confirms 1t. AL
the same time the Church does not itself he's
itate to discuss the matter, and replies
to the various points of Mrs. Moulton's
last letter very fully. The feeling of indie
pendence which this Church has previously
shown is aroused afresh, and may be expected
as constant element in the coming proceed
ings. Should the Church take the definite po-
sition that the scandal is its own affair ana
that other churches have no business with 1t,
there Will DO good reason to hope that out
