stantly being received from per ems who have been
cured by Its use, are conclusive proof of its great
value 1t is recommended by physicians and
apothecaries AS a Blood Purifier and Health.
Restorer, 1t has no equal.
Vegeilne is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debllitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.

persons suffering from disease that they can be

say that their pain and suffering cannot be

the whole body was one mass of corruption. If

no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to

The Habit OF Reading.

81 have no time to read" is the CON-
mon complaint, and especially of women.
whose occupation was such as to prevent
continuous book perusal. They seem to
think, because they cannot devote as much
attention to books as they are compelled
to devote to their avocations. that they
cannot read anything. 1t isn't the books
we finish at sitting which always do as
the most good. Those we devour in the
odd moments, half dozen pages at
time, often give US more satisfaction, and
are more thoroughly digested, than those
we make particular effort to read. The
men who have made their mark in the
world have generally been the men who
have in boyhood formed the habit of read
ing at every available moment, whether
for five minutes or five hours
1t is the habit of reading rather than the
time at our command that helps US on the
road to learning. Many of the most cul-
tivated persons, whose names have been
famous as students, have given only two
or three hours day to their books. If we
make use of spare minutes in the midst of
our work, and read a little, if but . page
or paragraph, we shall find our brain
quickened and our toll lightened by Just
so much increased satisfaction as the book
gives US. Nothing helps along the mo-
notonous daily round SO much as fresh
and striking thoughts, to be considered
while our hands are busy. A new idea
from new volume is like oil which re-
duces the friction of the machinery of life.
What we remember from brief glimpses
into books often serves as stimulOus TO
action, and becomes one Of the most pre-
cious deposits in the treasury of our rec
objection. All knowledge is made up Of
small parts, which would seem insignifi-
cant in themselves, but which, taken to-
gether, are valuable weapons for the mind
and substantial armor for the soul. Read
anything continuously" says DIR. johnson,

an impossible wall between California
and the desert on this side. Some
thing of the danger or the splendor
which clings to the hill-tops seemed to
fascinate him; he would never give
them up. Away back eighteen years
ago, Snow-shoe Thompson carried over
the Sierras from Geona-done up in
the remnant Of check shirt-some
strange black material which was both
ering the miners who were working in
Gold Canyon, about where Gold Hill
is now. or perhaps below there. He
| showed the stuff to Professor Frank
Stewart who was then managing a
newspaper in Placerville, and asked
him what it was. Stewart said in
stantly, 'Sulphurate of silver mixed
heavily with gold Thompson car
ried the material to Sacramento and
had it assayed. and the result was sew
eral hundred dollars per ton in gold
and several hundred dollars per ton
also in silver. That was the COM
mencement of the Comstock. But for
that little circumstance it might have
been years before the wonders
which have been going on here

A Quick Juror.

[Augusta, Ca, Constilutsonalist.]
We heard his Honor Judge Gibson
on Tuesday tell an amusing story of
the way Juror went for conviction.
He says he was trying murder case
few years ago down in one of the
wire-grass counties, and experienced
great difficulty in getting jury; that
eleven jurors had been sworn IN, and
in the next panel that was brought in
was a small, lean, lank, cadaverous-
looking fellow who had on one shoe,
his pants were nearly above his knees,
his shirt open both front and back,
and the aforesaid trousers were held
up by a single gallows. The solicitor
proceeded to ask the usual questions
in such cases as follows:
Have you from having seen the
crime committed, or heard any of the
testimony delivered under oath, form
ed and expressed any opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the prisoner
at the bar ?"
So the "single gallus' fellow, in a
clear and distinct voice, answered J.:
"Not any"
Second Question-have you any
prejudice or bias resting on your mind
for or against the prisoner at the bar?
Answer hain't.
Third Question-Is your mind per-
fectly impartial between the State
and the accused?
Answer-Hit air.
Fourth Question-Are you con-
cientiously opposed to capital punish
ment?
Answer isn't.
The State did not like the juror
much, but it being late and jurors
scarce, he was put upon the prisoner
in the usual manner, the solicitor say
ing: Juror, look upon the prisoner;
prisoner, look upon the Juror"
The juror was quite near the pris-
oner, and when this command was
given he bent over him scanning him
from head to foot. The juror looked
the prisoner firmly in the face, and
then turning to the judge said, in a
firm, solemn voice, "Yes, Judge, I
think he's guilty"
