The Causes of the Hard Times.


The Unitarian ReUiel0 of a recent
date among several able articles,
had one on the Business Situation" in
which the present stress of the times IS
ascribed to over-production-the gorg-
ing of the market with more of those
commodities which are in general use
than the market can bear. This posi-
ton Of the writer, John t. kimball, is
thus stated: at is due simply to the
introduction, during the last twenty
five years, of such an enormous amount
Of machinery. There is nothing in our
modern civilization more wonderful,
more significant, more new thing I'M
der the sun, and destined to be more
wide-reaching in Its relations, than this
use of machinery. A single pegging
machine Will turn out more boots and
shoes now than whole village of cob
blers at work in their little cubical
shops fifty years ago. The cloth woven
in any Of our large mill-towns is proba-
bly, equal to half of what all the Indies
used to produce by the slow hand meth
DDS of the Middle Ages. Steam engines
alone are doing a good work, which,
without them, would give employment
to every one of the multitudes of men
and women who are now lying idle in
our country. California, a few years
ago, was growing over the introduction
81 o., ,,,,,oT Chinese chan, In bor.' o1J
yet, at that very time, was most inc0n-
sistently giving a welcome to mowers
and reapers and mining apparatus,
which for cheapness and facility Of use
made even a Chinaman dear And
then, when it Is seen how these muscles
and nerves OF iron and steel are en-
plOyed in every department of indus
try, from carving into shape a shaft Of
iron weighing twenty tons down to the
finishing Of a cambria need e, and from
the sewing Of a buttOn-hOle to the SOW
ing and reaping Of whole states, who
can wonder that the market Is over
stocked? OF course, this increase Of
facilities for doing work increased for a
while the amount of work to be done
But such a process could not 90 on for
ever. There was a limit even to the
number Of stitches that could be put
into a lady's dress, and to the amount
Of wheat that even an American family
could make way with. And this point
has at last been reached. The occur
renee of our civil war, with its enor-
nous destruction Of property, and its
withdrawal of energies into the battle
field put off the day; but the end of
the war, and their return again to the
pursuits Of peace, soon filled up the
gap, and brought us to the point where
it was hardly possible to consume a half
of what was being produced-the point
therefore, where business was obliged
to stop"

How Mrs. Peduncle Got Even.

From the Chicago Courier.
Mr.. Peduncle went out to milk the
other day. Now, if there is one thing
Mr. Peduncle prides himself upon, it IS
his perfect command Of a cow. With
his bucket on the ground he milks
with both hands, and sings meanwhile,
occasionally bestowing a word Of warn
ing upon the COW if she whisks her tail
at him or tries to scratch her back with
her hind foot. On this occasion he
had nearly finished and was singing
cheerfully.
My soul $50, now , be on thy guard.
What in the Egyptian sand-hiIls aiIs this
cow?)
Ten thousand thunder and borax !.
stand sill , foes arise -
And as Mr.. Peduncle raised himself
up from the barn floor and wiped the
milk out of his ears and nose, he saw
up in the loft the wife of his bosom
with a long switch in her hand, with
which she had been tickling the gentle
animals nose, and she said in an awful
voice:
Oliver PeduncIe, [ reckon you'll
wrap your old tobacco-box in my hand
kerchief again, next Sunday, wont We:
and have me to take it to church
and sling it out on the foor-hey ?"
When ne milks now, Mr. Peduncle
sings very softly, indeed, and keeps one
eve on the loft.

Growing Worse.

The boys of Detroit seem to be going
down hill IN their morals of late. Sun
day one of the legion, who has always
been noted for his respectful demeanor
toward the great public, observed an
Old citizen yawning and gaping on a
street corner, and said to him:
" Better not open you mouth too
wide"
" Why?" was the surprised query.
" There's law agin opening a saloon
on Sunday /" continued the sinful
child as he slid for the middle Of the
street.

Unlimited Remedial Resources.

| People sometimes suppose that DR..
/ Pierce's Family Medicines represent the en-
! tire extent of his resources for curing
/ disease. This is an error. Experience proved
/ that while the Golden Medical Discovery
/ Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Purgatiye
! Pellets, Compound Extract of Smart-Weed,
and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, would, if
/ faithfully used, cure a large variety of
/ chronic complaints, there would be here
and there case which, from it severity, or
| from its complication with other disorders,
would resist their action. These excep-
+ tional eases required a thorough eXamina-
ton of their symptoms, II ascertain the
exact nature and extent of the disease or
diseases under which the patient was labor
ing, and the use of specific remedies to meet
ana overcome the same. This led to the
| establishment of the Worlds Dispensary, at
Buffalo, n Y, with its Faculty of Phys-
clans and Surgeons each of whom is skilled
in the treatment of chronic disorders in
general and those belonging to his own
special department in particular. TO one is
assigned diseases of the throat and lungs;
TO another, diseases of the kidneys and
| urOgenital organs, TO another, diseases OF
the digestive system; to another diseases of
the nervous system; and to another. diseases
of the eve and ear. Thus the highest de-
gree of perfection III medicine and surgery
is attained The establishment of this in
stitution enables the Doctor TO meet long
felt want in the treatment OF the more
severe chronic affections. By a careful con-
sideratiOu of the symptoms as given in
writing, he successfully treats thousands of
cases at their homes. Others visit the Dis
pensary in person. The amplest resources
for the treatment of lingering affections are
thus placed at tie disposal of every patient
and those on whom the proprietary medi-
cnes do not have the desired effect can pro-
cure more thorough and efficient course
by a personal application to the proprietor
of the Worlds Dispensary.

OLDEN MEMORIES.
BY MILTON Fl. MARBLE.

Who, when age has crept along,
Would forget he once was young?
Cease to think of days gone by
In the past, so silently?
Who forget the happy life,
Free from Dlanhoods cares and strife.
Full of happy mirth and JOY,
When he was laughing boy?
II.
Who, when he has come of age,
Would in sobernesS engage
To forget him al the plays
OF his happy youthful days,
When his heart was free and light,
And the earth seemed very bright?
Oh we backward look with joy
To the time we were boy.

Popping the Question.

The subject is too interesting to be intro
duced by any sage remarks. And yet it is
important. Sometimes, many times, a
mans happiness has depended on his
manner of popping the question" Many
a time a girl has said "No," because the
question was so worded that the affirmative
did not come from the mouth naturally,
and two lives that gravitatSd to each other
with all their inward force, have been
thrown suddenly apart, because the elec
trio keys were not properly touched.
Another writer corroborates the statement.
"Oftentimes," says he, "a girl says mo- to
an offer, when it is as plain as the nose on
her face she means yes The best way to
Judge whether she is in earnest or not, is to
look straight into her eyes, and never mind
her nose" There are some people that
never "pop the question" but once. They
are cautious they love with their whole
hearts before they ask that all important
question, and they never love again.
Others go through popping" to every girl
they are fortunate enough to be introduced
to, and to be treated civilly by, and are
never answered ayes" He that says
bluntly: "Will you marry me?" has no
music in his sole, and his love is to be
doubted. Once in New York church,
the young man who carried the collecting
plate, before starting to collect, put his
hand in his pocket, as usual, and put a
shilling, as he supposed, on the plate, and
then passed it around among the congrega-
ton, which numbered many young and
pretty girls. The girls as they looked at
the plate, all seemed astonished and
amused, and the young man, taking a
glance at the plate, found that, in place Of
a shilling, he had put conversation lozenge
on the plate, with the words "Will you
marry me?p in red letters, staring every
body in the face. None Of the youn
ladies, however, closed with the offer.

Scriptures, happening to sit in q pew ad
