What l Have Seen.


Some one wLo has seen goodly share
of the world tells some things he has
seen:
I have seen a young man sell good
farm, turn q merchant, and die in the in
sane asylum.
1have seen farmer travel about 80
much that there was nothing at home
worth looking after.
l have seen man spend more money
In folly than would support his family in
comfort and independence.
have seen q young woman marry
young man of dissolute habits and repent
it u long a. she lived.
have seen q man depart from truth
where candor and veracity would have
served him to much better purpose.
I have seen the extravaganza and folly
Of children bringing their parents to
poverty aud want, and themselves to dis
grace.
I have seen prudent and industrious
wife retrive the fortunes Of family when
her husband pulled at the other end o.
the rope.
have seen yonng man who despised
the councils of the wise and advice of thu
good, and his career ended in poverty ant
wretchedness.

Lamps without Oh.

twill he an odd thing if we some day
fill our lamps with iron filings instead Of
oil. and dispense with wicks. Yet an ex-
perimentalist in Berlin has shown that a
brilliant, lasting light may be obtained by
burning iron. He took a straight bar
magnet OF some power, and sprinkled
iron filings on one of its poles. Apply
ing to this the flame Of burning gas or
spirit, it took fire, and continued to burn
for some time as freely rs any ordinary
combustible materials do. The filings ar.
range themselves in accordance with mag
netic force, and, however closely they may
appear to be placed, Of course n o two of
the metallic filings are parallel, and conse.
qIently certain amount of air is con-
fined as in metallic sponge.
A romantic marriage lately took place
in Albany, Ga. Ayoung lady ofthat place
wrote to young man in Wintervillc that
she had heard him highly spoken of, and
that if he saw fit to pay her a visit, and
could stand satisfactory examination
that she would reward him with her h cart
aid hand. He accepted the proposition,
and started at once to see the fair one. He
arrived at her home Monday, was inspect
ed and received, aud the couple were mar
ricd the next day.

Cars Of tho Ear.

In his treatise on physiology, Hinton
gives 10 to understand that the passage of
the ear does not require cleaning by us;
nature undertakes tue task, and in the
healthy state ful6lis It perfectly. Her
means for cleansing the ear Is the wax,
which dries up into thin scales and peels
Oh and falls away imperceptibly. In
health the passage of the ear Is never
dirty, but an attempt to clean it will in.
fallibly make it 80. Washing the ear out
with soap and water Is bad; 1t keeps the
wax moist when it ought to become dry
and scaly. and makes it absorb dust. But
the most hurtfui thing Is the introduction
OF tho corner Of a towel screwed up and
twisted around. The proceeding irritatct
the passage and presses down the wa,
aud fakes Of skin upon the membrane 81
the tympsnuna. producing pain, indama
tion, and deafness. The washing should
only extend to the outer surface, as far Al
the dgers can reach.

THE BANDS BENEFIT.-The Elkton
Band was unfortunate in the selection of
the night for the benefit rendered them by
Sanford's Comedy Company. The flood
of Sunday night extinguished the fires at
the gas works, and thoroughly cooled off
the retorts, so that it was impossible to get
up heat in time to have supply of gas for
Tuesday evening, what they hand on hand
having been used up on Monday. The
members of the Band, however, were not
to be discouraged by these untoward cir
cumstances, and they went industriously
to work hunting up lamps. Lamps Of
every description were pressed into service,
old and new, crippled and perfect, until
with liberal supply of candles, the light
was made almost as good as that of gas.
The audience, though good-in fact, large,
was not SO great as It would have been had
not the fact of the absence of gas been
generally known. The performance was
excellent, though they were compelled to
shorten it somewhat, because of the can
dies giving out. "Ten Nights in Bar
room" was the piece rendered, and it was
effectively played. The financial result of
the venture was as great as could be ex-
pected, about fifty dollars being realized,
after paying all expenses. In considera-
ton of unfavorable circumstances under
which this entertainment was given, the
Band contemplate another entertainment
sOOn.
