Schenck,s Sea Weed Tonic.

In the atmosphere experienced here during tn,
summer months the lethargy produced by the hea
takes away the desire for wholesome food and FIRE
quent preparations reduce bodily energy. particu
lary those suffering from the effects of facilitating
diseases. In order to keep natural heathful activ
lily OF the system We must resort to artificial
means. For this purpose Schencks Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual. few doses will create
an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many emf
nent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsis
can be permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The Sea
Weed Tonic, in its nature is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals OIL
acids; in fact it assists the regular operations OF
nature and supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in
its nature much resembles the gastric juice that
1t is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric
juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy
condition OF the body, causes the food to be di-
gested and when this juice is not excreted in suf
hcent quantities Indigestion with all its distress
ing symptoms. follows. The Sea Weed Tonic per-
forms the duty OF the gastric juice when the latter
is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by
all Druggists. -

Over the meadow, as If countless stars
The earth we're visiting;
Adown the grssn slope to the cattle-bars
Beside the sedgy spring;
Tho dandelons twinkle in the sod,
-z-Lish1ed by touoh ofGod.
ChndreR stumble IN their eager Joy,
AItdthe blossoms play;
Curl the Pipk stems. pleased as with some new

The seedy caps from heads grown gray and old ,
Bankrupt OF their fine gold. :

Pm minded of life's spring
When joys and hopes shone like starry flower,
But they. long since, took wing;
Like phSntom turbans chidrrn blow to-day
With rosy lips away.
Iaofher fields the scattered seeds will bear,
some morning, blossoms bright
And joys departed may yield otherwhere
A garland of delight.
For naught is lost. change but from change is
wrought.
As thought is born of thought.
From some fair garden in the Orient
Were dansiclions brought;
Blossoms unknown, what wealth of words were
Singing their praise; how sought
The unprized lower. with disk of FURNISHED
The grasses reach to fold.
Aloug the margin of the dusty street
The leafy lamps are seen:
And in }i,e grassy path where careless feet
H4npse their frdngy sheen.

flower
That loves the morning hour.

Appetite is necessity. Without it, suffi-
cient food is not received into the stomach
either to nourish the system or to give the
stimulus to the bowels which they require.
Both these organs and the liver become tor
pid in consequence, and the blood grows poor
in quality and quantity. Improve the appe-
tite, therefore, and avoid such results. This
is most effectually done with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, tonic appetizer and al
terative without peer. 1t gives not only
an unwonted zest for food, but enables the
stomach to digest and the system to assim-
ilate it. Flatulence, heartburn, nausea, and
every other concomitant of indigestion, are
removed by it, as are also biliousness and
constipation. Each nerve and fiber of the
body is made to Jingle with health by its
use, and it is the leading remedy for de-
spon lency.

The BObOlink'S Song.

/ have noticed that the bobolink doe!
not sing the same in different localities
In New Jersey it has one song; on thu
Hudson a slight variation of the same
and on the high grass lands of the in
terror of the State, quite ditferen
strain-clearer, more distinctly articu
lated, and running off with more spark,
and liltingness. 1t reminds one of tn,
clearer mountain air and the translu
cent spring of those localities.
never could make out what the bobo
link says in New Jersey, but in certain
districts in this State his cnunciation i.
quite distinct. Sometimes he begin:
with the word oegue, gegue. Then
again, more fully, be true to me, C'arsy
be true to me, Ctarsy, Clarsy, theme,
full tilt into his inimitable song, inter
spersed in which the words kick you,
slipper, kick your slipper, and temper
ance, temperance (he last with a pc
culiar nasal resonance), are plain
ly heard. At its best, it is 8
remarkable performance, unique
performance, as it contains not the
slightest hint or suggestion, either in
tone, or manner, or effect, of any Other
bird-song to be heard. The bobolink
has no mate or parallel in any part OF
the world. He stands alone. There is
no closely allied species. He is not a
thrush, nor startling. He is an excep-
ton to many well known rules. He is
the only ground-bird known to me OF
marked and conspicuous plumage. He
is the only black-and-white bird we
have, and, what is still more odd, he is
black beneath and white above-the
reverse of the fact in all other cases.
Prominently bird of the meadow
during the breeding season, and asso-
ciated with clover, and daisies, and
butter-cups, as no other bird is, he yet
has the look of an interloper or new
conner, and not of one to the manor
born.
The bobolink has an unusually full
throat, which may help account for his
great power of song. No bird has yet
been found that could initiate him or
even repeat or suggest single note, as
if his song were the product of a new
set of organs. There is a vibration
about it and a rapid running over the
keys that is the despair of other song
sters. 1t is said that the hooking bird
is dumb in the presence of the bobolink.
My neighbor has an English sky-lark
that was Matched and reared in captivi-
ty. The bird is a most persistent and
vociferous songster, and fully as success
full a mimic as the mocking-bird. 1t pours
out strain that is a regular mosaic
of nearly all the bird notes to be heard,
its own proper lark-song forming a
kind of bordering for the whole. The
notes of the phebe-bird, the purple
finch, the swallow, the yellow-bird, the
the robin and others, are
rendered with perfect distinctness and
accuracy, but not a word of the bobo-
links, though the lark must have heard
its song every day for four successive
summers. 1t was the one conspicuous
note in the fields around that the lark
made no attempt to plagiarize. He
could not steal the bobolink's thunder.

nastiest coast you ever saw, high cliffs,
and valleys between, and it was up one
hill and down another, and up another,
until when the boat turned into a sandy
bay, about seven miles from the sta
ton, Jem and his mates had hardly
strength enough left to go down and
| meet it. However, by taking a couple
of minutes breathing time, they did
just manage TO get down to the beach
as the boats keel touched the sand.
When the men saw them they made an
attempt to back her of, but Jem had
hold of her, and they found it was no
60. Jem felt we'll rewarded for all he
had gone through when he found TIN ce
nice little brandy-tubs lying at the bot
tom of the boat. So he takes all four
men into custody, and nicely they
.grumbled and growled over their i'll
luck, and cursed Jem's sharp eyes and
so on. The next thing was to get them
all to the station, but when Jem pro-
posed that they should bear hand with
the tubs, devil bit would they. ''No,"
says they, "hang it all, they're your
property now, and we haven't nothing
more to do with them" So at last,
Jem having made them give him their
words that they wouldn't run away
and little use it would have been, for
they was all well known to him-he
and his two mates were obliged to hoist
the tubs upon their shoulders and carry
them to the station themselves. The
tubs held about six gallons apiece, and
were no light weight to carry seven
miles on binding hot summers after
noon.
swell, sir, Jem says he doesn't know
to this day how he got over them seven
miles, but at last, dead beat, they did
just manage to crawl up to the station
and get those blessed tubs off their
shoulders at last. 1t was only the
of the share that would be COM
ing to them of this seizure that pre-
vented them from breaking down alto
gether long before they got home.
Gas soon as they recovered them
selves a little bit they sets to work TO
draw the bungs and measure the stuff.
1t turned out excellent quality, but not
SO strong as they hoped, for all three
tubs was full up to the bung with salt
water; and these three coastguardsmen
had carried these fine samples of old
ocean for seven miles along those awful
cliffs.
GAS soon as the bold smugglers lad
seen how well their trick had answered |
they makes each of them as fine bow

More Trouble in the Tilton
Family.

A special telegram from New York
says an unpleasant controversy is
threatened between Mr.. and Mrs. Til
ton concerning the guardianship OF
their son Ralph. Mrs. Tilton has re-
fused persistently to receive any pecu-
mary assistance from her husband, al
though he is willing to aid her. Mr..
Tilton, after his recent lecture tour,
sent 81 900 to Mrs. Tilton. Adhering,
however, to her resolution, she would
not use any of the money, but put it in
the bank to the credit of her children,
along with $1,000 more. Tilton sent
500 especially for the boy Ralph. Mrs.
Tilton put it in the bank without say
ing any thing about it to the boy. When
Theodore learned what his wife had
done he expressed anger-not so much
at her refusal to profit personally by
his labors, as at the fact that she did
not acquaint Ralph with the pecuniary
evidence of his fathers regard for him.
He, few days ago, induced the child
to visit him, when, putting him into a
carriage, he drove over to New Jersey,
where he insisted upon keeping him.
Mrs. Tilton had no intimation of her
husbands intention until she found her.
self deprived of her child, when she be-
came almost fantic with grief. Under
the Law. of New Jersey the father is the
recognised guardian of the boy after he
reaches the age of seven,
and Ralph reached that age
a few days ago. In this State no
such doctrine is entertained, both
parents being looked upon with equal
favor. Mr.. Tilton now says that Ralph
desires to remain where he is, at Ocean
Grove, N. j., with his sister, while the
friends of Mrs. Tillon and the boy Car
roll, WHO'S 13 years of age, who lives
with his mother, say that Ralph wants
to return to Brooklyn. Mr.. Tilton and
his wife were supposed to have COM
promised on the children by agreeing
that he should have the three girls and
she the two boys. Upon this agrt ement
the movements of the children have
been ordered for more than year past.

The Rev. DR.. Burlington, of Clinton Av-
enue Congregational Church, Brooklyn,
is accused by A. S. Barnes of having
his privileges as pastor, and
his duties as a gentleman. Mrs. Frank
Moulton was attacked in an anonymous
letter in the Boston Comgregationalist,
and Mr.. Moulton, thinking Mrs. Barnes
wrote it, persuaded DR.. Burlington to
take him to Mr.. Barnes's house, when
he knew that gentleman was absent.
Mrs. Barnes, who did not write the let
ter, told her husband of the visit, who
called on the visitors and upbraided
them. Mr.. Barnes, it is said, compelled
DIR. Burlington to go with him to Moul-
toms house for this purpose.

TOMATO WINE.-To l gallon II the
juice of ripe tomatoes, strained, put 3
pounds of white sugar. Set aside in a
demijohn to ferment. Tie over the
mouth only piece of muslin until fer
mentation ceases, when it should be
bottled and corked tightly. Put a few
raisins in each bottle, and, with the
color of champagne, it will have some
OF its sparkling quality.
COMPOUND POWDER OF CHARCOAL.
Mix together, prepared charcoal, l
ounce; powdered rhubarb, ! ounce !;
bicarbonate of soda, drains. Per-
sons laboring under dyspepsia, loss of
appetite, sour stomach. arrangement of
bowels, ETC., will find this very valuable
in doses OF teaspoonful every or 4
hours during the day. 1t may be taken
in water or Indian meal Cruel.
GREEN TOMATO PREsERvEs.-Take1
peck of green tomatoes. They are said
to be nicer if peeled, but that is difficult
to do, and not necessary. Slice fresh
lemons without removing the skins, but
taking out the seed. Put to this guam
tity 6 pounds of sugar, brown or white,
and boil until the tomatoes are trans
parent and the sirup thick. Although
some are prejudiced against the use of
the tomato in this way, with many it is
favorite preserve, and may at least be
found useful when fruit is scarce.
TOMATO FIGs.-Take pear-shaped
tomatoes, red or yellow, and weigh
them. To 6 pounds allow pounds of
brown sugar strongly favored with gin
ger and lemon juice. Put all together
in kettle with very little water, and
simmer gently until the tomatoes are
clear through, but not broken. Lift
from the sirup, and spread in the sun
to dry upon large flat dishes. Pack
away in small glass or stone jars, in
layers, strewing sugar thickly between
may be scalded in the sirup left in the
kettle, and will be quite sweet enough.
A CHOLERA REMEDY.-The hot sea-
son revives the necessity of having at
hand good cholera mixture, and none
has proved more effective than the one
published years ago by the New York
Sun. This consists of equal parts of
tincture of opium, red pepper, rhubarb,
peppermint and camphor. 1t is REM
edy for summer complaint, diarrhea,
cramps in the bowels, and similar all
ments, and affords almost instant relief.
The dose is from to 10 drops for a
child, according to age, and 10 to 80
drops for an adult, according to the
severity of the attack.
JAM OF VARIOUS FRUITs.-Jam can
be made of c1rrants, strawberries, rasp
berries or gooseberries, in proportions
of one pound of fruit to a quarter of
pound of sugar. The most economical
way to make jam is to boil the fruit for
half an hour before the sugar is added,
and without covering it. This allows
all the scum of the fruit to rise and
the water contained in it;
and, if the sugar is of the most highly
refined nature, it will throw up hardly
any scum, and as soon as it has boiled
up once the jam can be put into tightly
sealed cans. 1t will keep perfectly
made air-tipht.

there was no doing any business at all.
My brother-in-law, Jem Mason, was

hot summers day he was on the look

coming toward the shore from a smack
which was standing off and on good

short distance of the land, it
turned sharp to the right,
and began pulling along shore,
and at the same time man took his
hat off and held it over the name on
the stern, SD that you co,ldn-t read it

saw this he clapped his glass together,
ran to the station, got two of his men
to join him, and they began following
the boat along the cliffs as hard as they
could go. Well, sir, it is the very
