WIoKEDNEss. Mot bad heart, but a
diseased Liver, is often the cause of vio-
lence OF temper, vindictiveness, and some-
times crime; for, when the spleen is affect

pulses, for want of action to carry off the
bile.

not only once but often, and can confidently

Obituary.

Mrs. Jernsha Flint Boynton died, early
Saturday morning Sept, 22nd, 1877, at the
the residence of her son, DR.. H.W Byon-
ton, in Toledo. Iowa,of Paralysis, chiefly
The deceased was born October Both, 179
in Reading, Mass, and was therefore
about 80 years of age. About 1880, she
removed with her husband to Essex Coun-
ty, N. T., where she remained till in 1873
when she was brought to Iowa, byher sons
F. S. and H. w. Boynton, with whom she
resided till her death.
About 1910, she, with her husband be-
came subjects of divine grace, and made
public their professions of faith in Jesus
Christ by uniting with the Baptist Church
in Essex, N. Y, where she and her hus-
band were members till their decease. For
several years she had suffered much from
Paralysis and mental inactivity which
we're caused by diseased nervous centers
and age. But during all her infirmi-
ty 1t was manifest that her chief de-
sire was ito depart and be with Christ.
She was faithful Christian, an affcc-
tionate wife and mother, a comforter
and friend to many that had no helper.
Surely will her memory be blessed"
She leaves four children to mourn her loss
which to her is eternal gain.

A lively Story.

TANGLED. A Novel. By Rachael Carew. 16mo.
Cloth, $1.00. Chicago: s. G. Griggs q Co.
For summer afternoon reading. where
one wants something interesting and en-.
tertaining enough to keep their atten-
ton throughout, we have. seen nothing
superior to his volume. The scene is
laid at Swiss watering place, and the
principal characters are couple of
English girls or young ladies, young
gentlemen.f from England, and anAmerican
young gentleman, a little Russian girl,
and poor, demented Polish Count
Through an unhappy blunder the young
gentlemen from America is mistaken for
the Polish Count, and is deeply SYM
pathyzed with for his misfortune. He
in turn thinks that one of the English
ladies is somewhat deranged. Owing to
this misunderstanding matters at the
watering place become greatly Tan
gled," and the interest of the reader is
kept up throughout. The Volume is an
exceedingly entertaining one, and we can
commend it.

DiSgraceful Business.

There has been secretly circulated
through the mails without even post
marks an anonymous circular, libelous in
its character, against Daniel T. Beatty,
of Washington, N. j., proprietor of the
Beatty Piano and Beatty's Celebrated
Golden Tongue Parlor Organs.
1t is supposed to have been done by
competitors in the business, as none 9TH
ers would be to the trouble and expense,
even If they had no fear of the punish
ment if detected, and the cause is attribu-
ted to the fact that Mr.. Beatty has been
making very successful war upon high
prices in those instruments.
We have received from Mr.. Beatty the
following open letter addressed to him
by the officials and prominent men of his
own town.

Charges againrt MIR. Murray, refuted.

We copy the following from the Traer
Clipper Of last week It is written by
one who knows whereof he speaks:
Mr.. EDrroR.-We notice in last weeks
Independent, newspaper published in
Toledo, series of charges against Mr..
Murray, based upon MIR. Murray's sup
posed hostility to the interest of Toledo,
and intended to operate against him.
The writer has some knowledge of the
first charge and knows it to be untrue. T
was member of the Board of Supervisors
during the efforts of Toledo to build a
Court House, and was chairman of the
committee on Public Buildings, Mr.. Cali
agher and Morrison the others. A petit
ton from the citizens Of Toledo was re-
ceived, asking the calling of special
election, to vote on the question Of build
ing new Court House, in Toledo. The
petition was presented by citizen OF To
lcdo who argued before tho committee in.
an arbitrary and offensive manner, and
the committee was disposed to refuse,
especially on the ground Of the time. To,
lido wanted the election held in the midst
Of harvest. In the evening of that day
new committee of the citizens Of Toledo
composed OF Thomas Murray and w. F.
Johnston called, and with them another
ame was fixed for the election, viz, at the
SECULAR October election. AT that time
~. Murray was an active worker for the

PROF. ERNST HAEcKEL, the distin-
guished German naturalist, is the author
of the opening article, "Bathybius and
the Moners," in the October POPULAR
SCIENCE MONTHLY. He shows that these
wly-discovercd forms are not the dead
masses of mineral substance which the
opponents of the development theory
would have them, but animate beings
thatwithout organs perform the func-
tons of life, while occupying place very
close to the line which separates organic
from inorganic matter The second ar,
ticle, by l.. r. Curtiss, on molecular
Magnitudes," is a very interesting pop
ular account of the results which plliloso-
piers have arrived at concerning the sizes
and motions of the ultimate particles of
matter.
Miss Eliza A Youmans, in an illustra-
ted article on the subject of "Optics,"
shows how, with the aid of few simple
contrivances, any one may demonstrate
experimentally the principal laws of that
science.
The fourth paper is forciblc plea, by
Prof. Huxley, in favor of elementary in
struction in physiology in our common
schools. "Cosmic and Organic Evolu-
ton, > by Lester F. Ward, is mastery
exposition of the identity of the evolu-
tionary process in the formation of
worlds, or the Development of an or
ganism.
In ''Pessimism and its Antidote" Mr.,
Charles N;sbet comedies the world to be
as full of evil as the most bilious pessI-
mist could desire; but in this he sees no
cause of despair, rather finding here the
right arena for battle, enterprise, and
patience, for all the active and all the
passive virtues.
The history of "The Modern Piano
FORTE" by Mus Do. S. Austin Pearce'
traces the development of that instru-
ment from Its early forms, and shows
how it is gradually approached perfec-
ton by adaptation to differences of eli
mate and the conditions Of musical eff
feet. In Snoring, and how to stop it,
the author, DIR. John A. Wyeth, suggests
an effectual method for mastering a dis
agreeable habit MARS and its Satel-
lities," by Prof. Daniel Kirwood, is an
account of the growth of our knowledge
of the planet, and the particulars of Prof
Halls discovery of its moons There is
rather satrical article, by Prof. F. w.
Clarke, entitled Specimens Of Educa-
tional Literature" in which sundry pre-
tentions schools and colleges are made
to cut very amusing figure. DR.. Jo-
seph r. Buchanan, in THE Psyche Phys
illogical Sciences" essays reply to Car.
penter's recent work ON "Spiritualism."
Finally, we have sketch and portrait Of
Prof. w. Stanly Jevons, the distinguished
