SLEEP THE BEST STIMULANr. - The
best possible thing for a man to do when
he feels too weak to carry it through is
to go to bed and sleep week if he can.
This is the only true recuperation of
power, the only actual recuperation of
brain force. Because, during sleep the
brain is in a state of rest, in condition
to receive and appropriate particles of
nutriment from the blood which take
the place of those which have been con-
sumed in previous labor, since the very
act of thinking consumes, burns up
solid particles, as every turn of the
wheel or screw of the splendid steamer
is the result of consumption by fire Of
the fuel in the furnace. The supply Of
consumed brain substance can only be
had from the nutritive particles in the
the blood, which are obtained from food
eaten previously, and the brain is 30
constituted that it can best receive and
appropriate to itself those nutritive par
ticles during'a state of rest, of quiet
and stiffness in sleep. Mere stimulantS
supply nothing in themselvS they only
goad the brain, force it to reater con-
sumption of its substance, until that
substance has been 80 exhausted that
there is not power enough left to receive
a supply, just as men are so near death
by that thirst and starvation that there
is not power enough to swallow any.
thing, and it is all over.

A RHODE ISLAND CLAN oRY.-The
Providence Press describes an exciting
adventure thus: "a clam of the large,
hardshen species, taken at the beach,
with grip like a vice, had been left
lying loose, and had opened its mouth
wide for a breath of air, and gone to
sleep with it open, when a grimalkin
CHANGED to pass that way, and, inhaling
the scent OF the delicious morsel, forth
with commenced a search, which re-
vealed the whereabouts of the bivalve.
Cautiously, yet earnestly, she went to
work. First she walked round and
round it, eyeing it on every side. Then
she poked it with her paw, turning il
round and round. The clam by this
time had got it, eyes open. Its Curl
osity was aroused to see what the cat
would do. Not muscle, however, did
his clamship move, not so much as ap
eyewinker. Emboldened by this, puss
put her paws full upon the coveted car
cass of the bivalve. The latter winked
with one eye, as much as to say, Now
old lady, I've got youP and, bringing
those twoiaws of his together with q
snap, held the cats paw with grip that
filed her with astonishment. First
came a spit, then a prolonged yell, al,
fternately, and q series of gyrations that
would have done honor to Q circus per
former. She snaked that clam all over
the yard, up against a doorstep, be-
tween two fence pickets, and over Q
stone wall. But the clam meant bust
ness, and wouldn't let go. Finally, the
cries and antics of the poor creature
brought two men to the scene, and, by
their united efforts, the grip Of the CLAN
was loosened, and puss released. -

SHALL THEY TRoT OR WALK ?-The
Rural Net0 Yorker, in answering the
question of subscriber as to whether
working horses should be trotted to and
from work, thus remarks: eff more
pains were taken to break colts into fast
walking, it would be necessary to trot
them in intervals between hard work.
Trotting is hard pace for horse on a
hard road-bed, and more horses are pre-
maturely disabled by fast driving to and
from market, than the severest work
they do upon the farm. Still, if horse
is kept in good working condition, he
ought to, and will want to, go faster
than a walk when drawing an empty
wagon, and, in such cases, most working
horses will not hurt themselves by fast
trotting. Often the team is anxious to
get to its crib and feed of oats as the
driver is for his supper, and we don't
know why it should be held in, to the
discomfort of both. As for whipping
or urging q poorly-fed or hard working
horse, either to or from work, it should
never be allowed. It is much better to
take the old-fashiOned advice, and put
the whip in the manger."

A Rich MAN ON RICHEs.-The fol-
lowing story, says the WGyside, is told
of Jacob Ridgeway, a wealthy citizen OF
Philadelphia, who died many years ago,
leaving fortune of five or six million
dollars:
Mr.. Ridgeway," said a young man, ,
with whom the millionaire was convers-
ing, "you are to be more envied than
any gentleman know"
"Why 50? ?" responded Mr.. Ridge
way. Z" I am not aware of any cause for
which should be particularly envied.
"What, sir ?" exclaimed the young
man in astonishment. "Why, are you
not millionaire Think of the thou
sands your income brings you every
month I'
"Well, what of that? ?" replied Mr..
R. "Al 1 get out of it is my victuals
and clothes, and 1 can't eat more than
one mans allowance or wear more than
one suit at the same time. Pray can't
you do as much ?"
"Ah, but, said the youth, "think of
the hundreds of fine houses you own
and the rental they bring you"
g What better am off for that ?" re-
piled the rich man. II can only live
in one house at stime; as for the money
I receive for rents, why, can't eat it or
wear it; can only use it to buy other
houses for others to live in. They are
the benefciaries, not I.
"But you can buy costly furniture
and costly pictures, and fine carriages
and horses in fact, anything you de-
sire."
"And after 1 have bought them, re-
sponded Mr.. R., "what then? 1 can
only look at the furniture and pictures
and the poorest man who is not blind
can do the same. / can ride no easier
in fine carriage than you can in an
omnibus for five cents, with the trouble
of attending to drivers, footmen and
hostlers and as to anything 1 desire,
I tell you, young man, that the less
we desire in this world the happier we
shall be. ALI my wealth cannot buy me
a single day more of life, and cannot
purchase exemption from sickness and
pain it cannot procure me power to
keep afar off the hour of death and
what will it avail when in few years at
most lie down in the grave and leave
it all forever? Young man, you have
no cause 70 envy me" .

Going to Bed.

We should never go to bed with hope
for rest, sleep, and perfect repose, until
" All ready" The preiminaiieS for re-
tirement are all Just as important as are
those for the days duties. We must not
go to bed with an overloaded stomach,
in an anxious or troubled state of mind,
with cold extremities, or without antici-
pating and responding to the calls of
nature in all respects. Standing over a
register, before a fire, or in a stove
heated room, is not the best way to get
warm for nights sleep. We should
take such vigorous exercise as will give
quick circulation to the blood, and not
depend on artificial, but on natural
heat. Attention to all these things, fol-
lowed by such devotional exercises as
will bring all the feelings, emotions and
sentiments into accord with the Divine
will, subduing passion, removing ha-
tired, malice, jealousy, revenge, and
opening the portals of Heaven to all
who seek rest, peace and sweet repose.
tits happy custom with many to
conclude the evenings proceedings by
singing a sweet, quiet hymn" THE day

FOND OF Hrs HoRsE.-According to
the Worcester Spy, Gen. E. W. Pierce,
a citizen of FreetOwn, Mass, is calmly
waiting the time when he and his horse
shall lie side by side in the same burial
lot. Once, when he was in the army, it
says, he was without food for whole
day. and at night he took one ear OF
corn from SIX that had been given to
his horse, and, having roasted 1t, made
his supper on it, while his horse dis
posed Of the other five. During the
meal he resolved, if his faithful horse
lived to get home, he would keep hlm
till he died, and then bury him in his
family cemetery. When he had got
home, this plan was firmly opposed oy
his wife. who didn't care to be buried
beside a dumb brute. But he replied
that she couldn't be buried with him
then, for he would be buried with his
horse if she wasn't buried at all. The
wife has since obtained divorce, and
there is now no obstacle to his cherished
desire.

THE trouble between husbands and
wives too often is, that they do not nm.
derstand each other-do not comprehend
each others sensibilities. A man can't
sit with his hoofs planted against the
back of his wife's chair without knock
ing some of the enamel off the romance
of married life.

WAKEFUINEss.-H you find yourself
inclined to wake up at regular hour in

break up the habit in three days by

hour for retiring; or, retire two hours
later and rise two hours earlier for three
days in succession, not otsleeping q moment

ALMOST daily some discovery is announced,
which is astonishing alike for its simplicity
and its great value. Such is the invention
by which The Forest Tar Co are enabled to
utilize pure tar as medicine. Its great
healing power has long been recognized,
but not much used heretofore, because Of
the inconvenience of handling tar in it's
crude state. Under the name of Forest Tar
1t is put up in various forms suitable for
taking internally and convenient for outward
application. Ask your druggist for these
preparations, or write The Forest Tar Co.,

People sometimes suppose that DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines represent the en-.
tire extent Of his resources for curing disease.
This is an error. Experience proved that
while the Golden Medical Discovery, Favor
ito Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
Compound Extract OF Smart-Weed, and DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy would, II faithfully
used, cure a large variety of chronic COM
plants, there would be here and there q
case which, from its severity, or from its
complication with other disorders, would
resist their action. These exceptional cases
required thorough examination into their
symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring, and the use
of specific remedies to meet and overcome
the same. This led to the establishment Of
the Worlds Dispensary, at Buffalo, N. Y,
with its Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons,
each Of whom is skilled in the treatment OF
chronic disorders in general and those be-
longing to his own special department In
particular. To one is assigned diseases of
the throat and lungs to another, diseases
of the kidneys and urogenital organs; to an
other, diseases OF the digestive system; to an-
other, diseases of the nervous system; and
to another, diseases of the eye and ear.
Thus the highest degree of perfection in med
icine and surgery is attained. The establish
ment of this institution enables the Doctor
to meet long-felt want in the treatment Of
the more severe chronic affections. By q
careful consideration of the symptoms as
given in writing, he successfully treats thou
sands Of cases at their homes. Others visit
the Dispensary in person. The amplest re-
sources for the treatment Of lingering atiec-
tons are thus placed at the disposal Of
every patient, and those on whom the pro-
prietary medicines do not bave the desired
effect can procure more thorough and
efficient course bya personal application to
the proprietor of the Worlds Dispensary.
