|" Facts are Stubborn Things"

Thousands Of human beings are yearly
borne on the swift current of disease
down to the grave, just because they do
not possess sufficient knowledge of
themselves, A man meets his neighbor,
and the first salutation is, "How are
you ?" or "lIow is your health ?" The
reply frequently is, "Oh, am well with
the exception of cold" Reader, do
you know that cold is one of the most
dangerous of maladies ? A cold not only
clogs up the pores of the entire system,
and retards circulation, but is productive
of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to
Consumption. "Oh," you say "it is
nothing but a cold in my head" True,
but that cold is really a mild form of
Catarrh, and if not arrested 10 its course
will become chronic Catarrh is one of
the most disagreeable, offensive affections
in the catalogue of dieases. The passage
to the nose is obstructed. the sense Of
smell impaired, and there is disagree.
able sensation Of pressure in the head.
In the more advanced stages there is a
discharge having an offensive odor. II
the disease be allowed to continue in its
course thick, hard incrustations will form
in the head, which will sometimes become
softened and break away in pieces
Why will persons continue to suffer from
such an annoying, disgusting disease when
they can just as well be cured of it :
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure the
worst forms of Ca.arrh in fact, it is III,
only sure and safe remedy which has ye
been offered to the public. Many harsh
irritating preparations may, for a time
relieve the urgency Of the symptoms, bu
they do not cure .he disease, DR.. Sage
Catarrh Remedy is soothing and healing
in its effects, and when used with Dr.
Pierce's Nasal Douche, according 70 di

Forefather's Day Poem.


Miss ELLA WHEELER, read at the New En-
land Society festival. Madison. Wiscons
Wednesday evening, December %, 1878.
All, now, when poets are singing
Their songs of olden days,
And now, when the land is ringing
With sweet Centennial lays,
NY muse goes wandering backward,
To the groundwork of all those,
To the time when our Pilgrim Fathers
Camo ovor the winter seas.
The sons of a mighty kingdom,
Of cultured folk wore they,
Born amidst pomp and splendor,
Bred in it day by day.
Children of bloom and beauty,
Reared under skies serene,
Whore the daisy and hawthorne blossomcd,
And the ivy was always green.
And yet, for the sake Of freedom,
For n free religious faith,
They turned from home and people
And stood face to face with death.
They turned from tyrant ruler
And stood on the new worlds Shore
With waste of waters behind them
And waste Of land before.
Oh, men of great republic;
or land Of untold worth;
OF nation that has no equal
Upon Gods round green calihi
hear you sighing and crying
OF the lard close times at hand:
What think you of those cid heroes
On the rock 'lwixt sea and land
Tho bells of thousand churches
Go ringing out tonight,
And the glitter Of palace windows
Fills all the land with light;
And there is the home and college,
And here is tho feast and ball,
And the angels Of peace and freedom
Are lowering over all.
They had no church, no college,
No banks, no mining stock;
Thoy had but the waste before them,
The sea and Plymouth rock.
But there in the night and tempest
With gloom on every hand
They laid thc.frst foundation
ora nation great and grand.
There were 10 weak repinings,
No shrinking from what might be,
But with their brows TO the tempest
Aud with their backs to the sea,
They planned ont noble future
And planted the ccrncr stone
Of the grandest, greatest republic
The world has ever known.

End of the Fast Mail Service.

After to- day the fast nail service becomes
a thing Of the past. In accordance with
their determination, announced last week.
the managers Of the New York Central
and Hudson River and of the Pennsylvania
railroads decline to continue the fast mail
trains over their roads for the reduced
compensation provided by Congress. and
have informed the Postoffice Department
that, beginning with tomorrow, mails must
be dispatched on the ordinary mail trains.
Mr.. Vail, superintendent of the railway
mail service. who is staying in the city for
the purpose of making the necessary
changes, says the withdrawal of the fast
trains will be felt in New England, the
interior of New York and in all the States
of the Northwest In Pennsylvania,
Ohio and the Southwest. Eastern mails will
be delivered with with nearly as much
promptness as before--one of the best mail
trains over the Pennsylvania railroad, that
leaving at P. NJ, being continued as here
totore. A way and through mail is also
dispatched over the Erie route at P. NJ
which will accommodate the southern inte-
rior towns of this State and a through
mail is sent over the New York Central
railroad at p. NJ. The towns along the
New York Central which were served with
New York mails BY the postal car train the
same day, under the new arrangement will
not be reached BY the way trains until the
following day. The time between New York
and Chicago will be greatly heightened; for
instance, mails leaving here on Monday
which formerly reached Chicago on Tuesday
morning, will not be distributed there until
Wednesday morning. The same difference
will be experienced in st. Louis and other
Western points. The removal of the postal
car train will add greatly to the work in
the New York Office as the mails which
were formerly distributed in the cars will
have to be sorted at this office. The tire
tor the closing of the mails will remain as
before, but to facilitate the work at the
Office Postmaster James will request bust.

A School of lreasmak king.

A lady of rank in Paris has. it is said,
started a school for the purpose of teaching
young ladies in society how to do their own
dressmaking on correct and even scientific
principles. A skillful modiste is engaged
to give two lessons per week, of one hour
each, to the class, who practice at home be-
tween times, and many of them show a
genius for the work which will shortly
make them expert. Why can not sew
eral of such schools be established for
the benefit of fashionable young ladies
in this country! 1t would be more
rapid, and TO many of them more in

or wood carving, or lace making. Why
can not We have schools of dressmaking
as well as schools of cookery? One is a.

do; that is conceded, and how many
