Cure for CrOHp.

A Kansas lady gives the following
cure for Group, which she vouches for
as reliable. She has had much expe-
rience with a child always troubled
with croup-has tried hivesyrup,
goose grease and scores of other reme-
dies, and finds the following better
than all
Take of honey one tablespoonful,
pulverized alum one-half teaspoon
full, saleratus one and one-halt
teaspoonful, and ons-half the white OF
an egg. Beat all to a cream, and give
fourth teaspoonful. This will be
enough to give relief if taken as soon
as the first symptoms of Group appear,
which is a hoarse cough, the horror
of which can be realized only by those
who have heard it, and have watched
night after night with child sick with
Group. Ifit has become necessary to
vomit the child, give one teaspoontul,
and if the case is stubborn one re-
peat the dose IN half an hour. In an
extreme case, when this remedy has
not been applied soon enough, she
recommends to take piece Of flannel
large enough to cover the throat and
lungs well, grease it with fresh lard
and wet it with camphor, then warm
it and apply. This will relieve the
hoarse breathing in a very few mo-
ments. If given in time no outward
application will be necessary.

10 reflective mind and lover OF
nature the planting and cultivation OF
orchards, affords the greatest salts.
faction. Not only from the hopes OF
profit, but the sure realization Of par
taking Of the beautiful and lussious
fruits, which accident Or patient anne
teurs have developed, and introduced
through Nurserymen to the public.
There is pleasure in watching the
growth on some gentle slope, where
only few fleeting months before, was
naught but grass or fallow, of these
trees planted by our own hand and
extending their branches and grum
foliage year by year with their beautl-
ful blossoms in spring, at length ap-
pearing, outrivaling the rarest exotics
and giving promise ofgratetul harvest.

all ITS brilliant hues and rich aroma,
the flaming Tetopsky, the brilliant
Bemoni, the mixed green and scarlet
Fomense, the great Gravensterm, it
seems really like plucking the golden
apple from the garden of Hesperiotes.
Now these grand results are not al
ways experienced. And after many,
many years Of patient waiting, efforts
in this directicn.prove failule.
Having had nearly thirty years ex.
perience in the planting Of orchards,
and their subsequent care, propose
to make few commonplace remarks
in this connection.
First, let me beg leave to remark,
that more than a million of dollars
have been paid in Vermont for worth
less trees, brought in, by flippant
salesmen and agents, who by false
representations, palm off this worth
less trash, which are purchased with
high hopes, and expectations. A few
years illustrates how we have been

recall and disappointment is the re-
suit. 1t is said the world is bound to
be humbuged ;-and not without
some show of truth. When people
will make contracts with strangers for
worthless article, when they can
get a good thing, Of their nelghbors
and see and know what they are buy
ing.
Hence in order to meet with any
success IN this business it is OF the
utmost Importance, to have trsssj in.

Susan B Anthony sets an example
which both sexes would do we'll to
follow. Some years ago Miss Antho-
ny published woman's rights paper
entitled the Revolution. 1t failed e.
ventually, and Miss Anthony found
herself deeply involved in debt in con-
sequence thereof, and without any as
sets of value. But she made up her
mind to pay the debt of $4,000 by
her own exertions, and 50 she went
c ,arageously In to the lecture field. She
has now earned the money and dis,
charged the last obligation, so that she
can look the world in the face again
and say that she owes it nothing. This
is the work of a brave and good woman,
Moreover, she appears to have distin
guished herself among women by
holding her tongue respecting the
Beecher scandal, concerning which
she is supposed 10 know a good deal.
She is the woman who pays her debts
and sets a watch upon her lips. Now
would Miss Anthony do for Centenni-
al President ?

AT last we began to hear pistol
shots near by in the next ravine. We
knew what that meant !! The other
party was out practising too. Then ]
was in the last degree distressed, for
of course they would hear our shots
ard then send over the ridge, and the
spies would fiud my barn door with
out a wound ora mark and that would
simply be an end to me ; for of course
the other man would immediately be-
come as blood thirsty as | was.
Just at this moment little bird no
larger than a sparrow flew by aud lit
on a bush about thirty PAGES away,
and my little second, Steve Glls, who
was dead shot with a pistol--much
better than I was-snatched out his
revolver and shot the birds head off !!
We all ran to pick up the game, and
sure enough, just at this moment,
some of the other duelists came re-
connoitering over the little ridge
They ran to our group to see what the
matter was, and when they saw the
bird Lords second said:
That was splendid shot. How
far off was it ?"
Steve said with some indifference {:
"Oh, no great distance. About
thirty PAGES"
"Thirty PAGES = Heavens alive !!
Who did it ?"

"Well, yes. He can do it about

but l never said anything. l never

kind, so let the matter rest. But it
was . comfort to see those people look

Steve made that statement. They
went off and got Lord and took him

HerOism.

Let not the talents with which God
has endowed you rest in useless mac
tivity. But exercise and cultivate
them that they may be developed IN
the fulness of their power and beauty.
There is something SO noble so glo-
rious in the possession of intellect
when it is directed towards the
achievement of worthy ends, that
makes idle Or msdirected genius Of
all things the most to be deplored.
Idleness and bad associations soon
poison the very fountains of the soul,
and corrupt its purest, noblest attri.
butes
There are few indeed but in whom
rest great possibilities Of good.
1t only requires that ones energies
be properly awakened to make them
serve lfs's truest, noblest purpose.
None can expect to achieve much
without making commensurate ef-
fort.
Throughout every sphere in life
runs the law of compensation and
counter equivalents.
The reward is equal to the invest
ment.
Such was the feeling that inspired
Pizarro, when stepping apart from his
hardy followers, he drew with his
sword in the sand line dividing them
from the battle, fields that awaited
them to the south. "To the north"
said the intrepid chieftain, ''lie the
homes you have left the vine-clad
bills and sequestered wales of CASTLE,
redolent with the perfume of flowers
and orange blooms. Peace and re.
pose there await you. To the south
lies the opulent kingdom of the In
cas-. A richer prize the sun never
shone upon. But war, bloodshed,
privation and possible death, will at
tend you by the way, while glory will
crown the end. Which DO you
choose? For myself I go to the
south. "
Al 49, -,---- a. i--~.~A hand
followed their intrepid chief.
The line was crossed and Peru was
conquered.
Such men were imbued with the
true heroic spirit. Their courage and
devotion will ever be worthy OF hon
or. Tne same spirit may inspire men
even in higher walks of life.
1t matters not whether man
strives 20 establish an empire, OF 10
enthrone a great principle in the
hearts of his fellows the same reso-
luteness and constancy of purpose,
the throwing of all ones energies into
the work to be accomplished is de-
manded.

According to the statement OF
the President that unfortunate and too
trustful functionary has been imposed
upon again, and this time it is Pierre
oont who has betrayed him. On all
sides the Presidents Brutuses seem to
arise, and he is being involved in the
web of deceit woven by those whose
fortunes have been made by his favor.
Not long since Babcock imposed upon
him, and though he was taken back
after his little legal adventure in St.
Louis he was finally made Il scapegoat
and elected from the iuner temple OF
the White House. Pierrepont thinks
he has been badgered enough about
that letter, and so he ''imposes' upon
his master by stating that only after
Grant had urged him three times did
did he write the notorious eplstle
which opened a way Of escape for all
the unconvicted public thieves in the
country, inaugurated the policy which
drove Marsh to seek shelter in Cana
da, and threatened all who could be OF
special service to the Government If
if they divulged what they knew,
The President is consistent and does
not hesitate to make scapegoats OF
even his Cabinet officers when they
divulge secrets about him to protect
themselves.
