MISSED THEIR GAME.

How some railroad gamblers came to
grief is told by the Virginia City (Ney.)
Enterprise: These men, it says, are
usually excellent judges Of character, and
are seldom mistaken in their man.
Sometimes, however, their Judgment is
at fault, and the apparent fly they en-
tiee into their parlors proves to be a
tarantula: The other day at Battle
Mountain, they allured a German, from
the East, who exhibited n large roll of
greenbaeks on the platform, into the
spiders nest. The drunken man. was
on big spree when the expected victim
entered, and was losing money at every
bet The German declined to bet, and
to get him in the notion one OF the cap
pers gave him a $40 piece on which to
try his luck. He placed it on a card and
won. Pocketing the $40 he refused to
bet again, and walked out of the house
followed by the cappers, who insisted on
getting the money back. The German
drew a large-sized revolver from his
pocket, and assuming defiant attitude,
said: ''YOu speak to me put yon 50
full Of holes you don't know what you
am am an old Californian, and know
all about your tricks You take me for
an emigrant, you make fools NIT your
selves" The three eappers discovered
that they had caught a tartar as they
saw their wOuld-be-victim board the
train, as the conductor shouted ''alI
aboard" and left them lamenting.
AMONG the most singular features
ol the moon are the cracks or assures
which appear on its surface. These IA
diate out from a common center, gener-
ally from the center of volcano. They
are Of vast extent, one oil them being six
hundred miles long, from one to three
miles wide, and of a depth so great that
no telescope has yet been able to pene-
trate its abysses. They appear to have
been formed by vast eruptions and up
heavals.

AID THE POOR.-We sometimes wish
men would act twice as loud as they pro-
fess, especially when poverty, distress
and squalid misery are so great in the
world The times are very hard in some
quarters. Many are out of employment.
Many are too poor to provide for the
stern riyors Of winter. VIII not Chris

This is the path, there stands the tree,
And on the rocks the shadows play:
And here we met, and shall be
As blcst as on that blessed DAY.
Now Nature knOws-did she not rise
That day and hearken 10 our troth;
Made in the haste Of loves surprise,
And happy secrets tell TO both,
Besides the spell Of looks and words,
There were sweet whispers from our tree,
From bougll and brake sang back the birds,
The grasses owned the mystery.
Sweet fern and briers along the wall
Sent message by the steadfast wind;
After we heard the blue sea call
All things and We were Of one mind
No blessing cOmes-he is not here;
Thus all is changed, nor shall 1 see
How Nature makes herself 80 dear
Till be returns 10 her and met

KINDLY REMINDERS OF DEATH
Philip of MacedOn, and very wise king
he was, though he was a heathen, and
one of the wisest of his plans was this:
He had a slave, whom he ordered to
come to him, every morning of his life,
whatever he was doing, and say to him
in a loud voice, ''Philip, remember that
thou must diel" He was heather, but
a great many who call themselves Chris
tians are not half so wise as he, for they
take all possible care not to remember
that they must die, but to forget that
they must die; and yet every living man
has a servant who, like King Philips, puts
him in mind, whether he likes it or not,
that his day will run out at last, and
his twelve hours OF life will be over, and
then die he must. And who is that serv-
anti a mans own body. Happy for
him though if his body is his servant
not his master and his tyrant. But stils
be that as it may, every finger-aehe that
ones body has, every cough and cold
ones body catches, ought to be to us
warning, like King Philips servant,
Remember that thou must die" Every
little pain and illness is a warning, a
kindly hint from our Father in Heaven
that we are doomed to death; that we
have bat twelve hours in this short day
If life, and that we must get our work
done and our accounts settled, and be
ready for our long journey.

DIR. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:

Dear Tr-My wife first became lame
nine years ago. Swellings would appear
and disappear on her hip, and she was
gradually becoming reduced, and her
whole system rotten with disease. In
1871 swelling broke on her hip, dis
charging large quantities, and since that
time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors ut an expense OF S125,
who say nothing will do any good but
a surgical operation.
July 10th, 1873, he writes thus: My
wife has certainly received great bene-
fit from the use of your Discovery, for
she was not able TO get off the bed, and
was not expected to live week when
she commenced using it, a year ago.
She has been doing most of her work for
over six months. Has used twenty bot
ties and is still usingit Herrecovery is
considered as almost n miracle, and we

BLOOD DISEASES.

The blood being the source from which
our systems are bcilt up and from which
we derive our mental as well as physical
capabilities, how important that it should
be kept pure. If it contains vile, fes-
tering poisons, all organic functions are
weakened thereby. Settling upon i'm
portant organs, as the lungs, liver or
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous.
Hence it behooves every one to keep
their blood in perfectly healthy con
dition, and mose especially does this ap-
ply 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 diseases is bad
blood. Now DIR. Pierce does not wish
to place his Golden Medical Discovery
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 dis
ease that it will not cure, and that dis
ease 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
known blood poisons, be they animal,
vegetable or mineral. The Golden Dis
eovery is lCdrrGnted by him to cure the
worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all
forms Of Blotches, Pimples and Erup-
tions, also all Glandular Swellings, and
the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcer
ated 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
belongs to Serofulous diseases.

NEW YORK, July 4.-Mall adVlces from

bring additional accounts Of the destruc'
tive earthquake At Circuta, The story oi
the catastrophe Is confirmed in all Ii

and San Cayetaro are completely de.
stroyed. The storehouse Of Puerto de

Another letter says; So great was
the violence OF the shock that not a

monuments In the cemetery were
thrown down and many Of Them moved
