guests, the fond mother said to the
youngest darling, ""eedie, darling,

I hope | don't hear anybody larfn,

Now, "whar the lion roareth aud
the whangdoodle mourneth for his
frst-bcrn"-ahl This part Of my tex,
my beseaching brethring, is not to be
taken as il says. II don't mean the
bowling wilderness, whar John the
Hard-shell Baptist fed on locusts and
wild asses, but it means, my brother
ing, the city Of New Y Orleans, the
mother Of harlots and hardlots, whar
corn is worth six bits a bushel one day
and nary n red the mex, whar niggers
are as thick as black bugs in spilled
bacon ham, the gamblers, thieves, aud
pick.pockets goes skitting about the
streets like weasels in a barn yard;
whar honest men are scarcer than hens
teeth; and whar strange woman once
took in your beloved teacher and bam-
boozled him on. of 227 dollars in the
twinkling of a sleeps tail; but she
can't do il again. Halleluiah-ah
"For they shall gnaw file, aud fee

My brethring, | am capting of that
hatboat you see tied up thar, and got
aboard of her -four, bacon, taters, and
good Monongahela whiskey as ever
was drunk, aud am mighty apt to get
big price for them all; but what, my
dear brethring, would it all be with If
| hadn't got religion? Thars nothing
like reli zion, my brethring; its better
nor silver or gold gimcracks; and you
can no more get to heaven without ii
than jay-bird can fly without a tail

Thank the Lord! Tn an onedica-

Sc rched the scripters from Dan to
Beersheba. and found Zion right side
up, and hard-shell religion the best
kind of religion-ahl lis not like
the Methodises, what specks to get
to heaven hollerin' hell-fre nor
like the Universalists, that get on the
broad gauge and goes the hull hog
ali nor like the Yewnited Brethring,
who takes each other by the slack of
the breeches and hoists themselves in;
nor like the Kartherlicks that buys
threw tickets from thar priests; but it
may be likened unto a man what has

AN old lady in California refused
to allow railroad corporation to lay
rails through her property. The track
layers took advantage Of Sunday
day on which she could not appeal to
the courts-and put down the rails.
She Was outwitted, but not defeated.
When the locomotive came along over
the branch line, she took up position
on the track and would not stir. The
locomotive backed. out aud left her at
her post.

A Yaakee Scr,n os.

My Beloved Brethring: | am an
unlarnt Hardshell Baptist preacher, of
whom you've hearn afore, and now
appear here to expound the scripteres
and point out the narrow way which
leads from a vain world TO the streets
Of Jaroosalem; and my tex which |
shall choose for the occasion is in the
leds of the Bible, somewhat between
the Second Chronikills and the last
chapter of Timothytitus, and when you
fluid it you'll find it in these words,
"And they shall gnaw a file, and flee
into the mountains of Hepsidam, where
the lion roareth and the whang-doodle
mourneth for his first-born. "-ah!
Now my brethering, as | have be-
fore told you, / am an oneddicated
man, and know nothing about gram
mer talk and coolidge highfalutin, but
| am plain unlarnt preacher of the
Gospel; what's been forordaned and
called to pervarse geserashun for the
day of wrath-ah! "For they shall
gnaw file, and flee into the raoun-
tains of Hepsidam, whar the lion roar
eth and the whang-doOdle mourueth
for his first-born. "-ah
My beloved brethring, the tex says
they shall guaw a file. 1t does not say
they may, but shall. Now thar is
more than one kind of file. Thar's
the hand-saw file, the rat-tail file, the
single file, the double file, and profile;
but the kind spoken Of here isn't one
of them kind nather, bekaws its a
fgger of speech, and means going it
alone and getting ukered, "for they
shall gnaw a file, and flee into the
mountains of Hepsidam, whar the lion
roareth and the whang-doodle mourn
eth for his first ."-ah
And now thar be some here with fine
clothes on thar backs, brass rings on
thar fingers, and lard on thar bar. and
what goes it while thay'r young; and
thar be others here what, as long as
thar constitooshins and iorty.cent whis-
key lasts, goes it blind. Thar be Sis
tiers here what, when they gets sixteen
years old, cut thar tiller-ropes and goes
it with "A rush. But | say, my dear
brethring, take care you don't find,
when Gabrial blows his last trump,
your hands played out, and you've
been ukered-ah "For they shall
gnaw a file, and flee unto the noun
tains of Hepsidam, whar the lion roar
eth and the whang-doodle mourneth
for his first-born."-ah
Now, my brethring, "they shall flee
into the mountains of Hepsidam;" but
thar's more dams than Hepsidam.
TharIs Rotterdam, Haddam, Amster-
dam, and Extraordinarily last
of which, my brethring, is the worst of
all, aud reminds me of a sirkumstans
] ons knowed in the State of Illinoy.
Thar was a man what built a mill on
the north fork of Ager Crick, and it
was a good mill and ground sight Of
grain; but the man what built it was a
miserable sinner, aud never gave any
thing to the church, and, my dear
brethring, one night thar came dred-
ful storm If wind and rain, and the
of the great deep were brek.
en- up, aud the waters rushed down and
swept that man's mill dam to kingdom
rum, and when he woke up he found

a Singular Case.

One of our farmers relates SIM
oular case occurring some time ago
nnon his farm. He had upon his
place in the spring five or six eX-
cellent COWS which were giving large
quantities of milk Suddenly the
milk began to diminish without APP
parent cause. The cows were wei.
fed and there was no reason why
the milk should fail. Every morn
ing and evening when tie animals
came up, each cow had the appear
ance Of having been tempered
with" This went on several days
without any explanation, when our
farmer determined to discover who
was robbing him of his milk; and
he therefore one day followed his
COWS to the pasture and concealed
himself so that he might overtake
the thief The mystery was ex-
planned in a short while, when a
number of good sized pigs trotted
up. and each grabbed teat and be-
gan the milking process. 1t is sup
posed that the pigs g learned how"
when the COWS were lying down, |
and as they grew older became |
more expert, and soon caught the
trick of reaching up when the cows
were in motion. When our friend |
first discovered the infant porkers
the cows were sauntering leisurely |
along seeming perfectly willing to |
add to the happiness aud growth Of |
their more diminutive companions. |
Such cases as this are probably rare,
but this one is vouched for by one
Of the most truthful and intelligent
farmers of Madison. Other persons

Prof, Sumner of Yale College
For Tilden.
New York sun

Prof. Sumner, of Yale College. a
learned and clear-headed political
economist and teacher Of political
sciences. and heretofore a Republi-
can. has declared for Tilden and Re-
form in powerful and logical let
Ter. He deals with candidates, poll
cies. and principles in 9 most salts
factory way. AS man, he prefers
Tilden to Hayes, and sets forth his
grounds of preference in very lively
language. He does not see how any
one can feel respect for the candi-
dature Of Mr.. Hayes, which, in fact,
appears to him as q farce, while
HAYES himself is but the creature OF
the machine, with no other public
claim to the Presidency Gov. Til
den. on the other hand, is "the real
leader of his party, the representa-
tive Of it's strength, the champion OF
its best principles, and the embodI-
ment Of its hope" He is the candl-
date Of the party because he Is Its
head. His nomination was brought
about by as honest, pure, and intelli-
gent men as ever led in any political
Convention in this many !

men representing The hope, strength,
faith. and purpose of the younger /
half OF this generation, TO winch |
turned long ago with all my conf !
deuce for tie national future Al
ter thus referring to the two candI-
dates. Prof. Sumner discusses the |
great issues as stake in the election,
dealing mainly with the finances, adj |
ministrative reform, and the South |
ern question. In regard to finance,
he speaks as an expert when he !
says:
1T appears TO me that Mr.. Tilden has /
shown a mo1e correct, detailed, states |
manlike knowledge of the evil, the RENE /
DIV. and the process of cure than any /
other public man who is eligible. 1 say |

to DISTINGUISH between lecture on poll
ticaI economy which would be suitable /
for me, and the programme OF states
man. which is what we want from MN
n distinction which has rarely been Oh
served in Congress or IN the CABINET
Prof. Sumner discusses Tilden's
reform record, and gives him credit
for having taken the only positive
and successful steps toward political
reform, at the risk Of his own politi-
cal fortunes, known in the history of
this country. AS whole, this iet-
ter bv Prof. Sumner is deserving Of
the study of dOubters.
AS a master of political science,
Prof. Sumner stands alongside of
David A. Wells, and both of these
distinguished men are united in the
support of Samuel j. Tilden for

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
OfmemOry, accompanied with a pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofWeariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
priCkly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c.. McLAEE's LIVER PILLS,
IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory
to, or after taking Quinine We
would advise all who are afflicted
with this disease to give them
FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and
as simple purgative, they are IN
equaled.

6AS APPARATUS.

An improved means of comforting
crude or refined coal and natural oils
iato more permanently fixed gas than
has heretofore seemed to be practicable
in the ordinary retorts, has been discover
cd. The peculiar novelty in this ar
rsngenent is q contrivsnce by which Il
clay retort can be used for accomplishing
the object without injury by the oils,
which, when coming in contact with the
clay, saturate and disintegrate it. 80 Ms 10
destroy it in comparatively shot
time. THIS, it appears, is successfully eff
fected by first vsporizing the oil IN the
feed pipe, and then discharging it into
the iron retort where the vaporizing pro
cess is continued, So rs TO destroy the
penetrating power, and then discharging
it into the clay retorL where it is subject
to greater heat than the metal retorts are
capable of sustaining, and is by this oper-
alton converted into fixed gas. The iron
rstort employed for this purpose is SO con-
structed that any oil that may flow into
it cannot escape until it is vaporizei.
