THE MEDICINE OF SUNSHINE.-The
world wants more sunshine in its dis
position, in its business, in its charities,
in its theology. For ten thousands OF
the aches and pains and irritations OF
men and women we recommend sun
shine. Tt soothes better than morphine
1t stimulates better than champagne
1t is the best plaster for wound. The
good Samaritan poured out into the
fallen travellers cash more of this than
wine and oil. Florence Nightingale
used it, on Crimean battlefields. Take it
into all the alleys, on board Of all the
ships, and by all sick-beds. Not phial
full, but soul full. 1t is good for spleen,
for liver complaint, for neuralgia, for
rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for
melancholy. We suspect that heaven
itself is only more sunshine.

GOOD ADvICE.-It is said that in the
pocket book of the Hon. Stephen Allen,
who was drowned when the Henry Clay
was burned on the Hudson river several
years since, was found a printed slip, APP
parently cut from newspaper, ofwhich
the following is a copy:
make few promises. Always speak
the truth. Never speak evil of any one.
Keep good company or none. Live up
to your engagements. Never play a
game of chance. Drink no kind of in
toxicating liquors. Good character is
above all things else. Keep your own
secrets, if you have any. Never borrow,
if you can possibly helpit. Do not mar
ry until you are able to support wife,
Keep yourself innocent if you would be
happy. When Jou speak to person,
look him in the face. Make no haste to
be rich, if you would prosper Ever
live misfortune excepted) within your
income. Save when you are young, to
spend when you are old. Avoid tempta
ton, through fear you may not with
stand it. Never run into debt, unless
you see way to get out again. Small
and steady gains give competency with
tranquil mind. Good company and
good conversation are the snews of
virtue. Your character cannot be essen
TALLY injured, except by your own acts
If anyone speaks evil of you, let your life
be SO that no one will believe him. =
When you retire t. bed, think over what
you have been doing during the day.
Never be idle; if your hands can't be
employed usefulIy, attend to the cuItiva-
ton of your mind. Read over the above
naxims carefully and thoughtfully at
least once week.

| AN EDITORIAL BRUTUs.-An editor
out West INDUCES in the following talk
to his subscribers and patrons. The IA
nous speech Of Brutus, on the death OF
Caesar, as rendered by Shakespeare, is
made to do service in this amusing trav-
esty:
"Hear US for our debts and get ready
that you pay; trust us, we have need
as you have long been trusted acknowl-
edge your Indebtedness, and dive into
your pockets. that you may promptly
fork over. If there be any among you
one single patron.that don't owe us
anything, then to him we say: Step
aside, consider youself a gentleman. If
the rest wish to know why we dun
them, this is our answer: Not that we
care about ourselves, but our creditors
do. Would you rather that we went to
Jail and you go free, than that you pay
your debts and keep US moving? AS
we agreed, we have worked for you; as
we contracted, we have furnished the
paper to you: but as you don't pay, we
dun you. Here are agreements for job
work, contracts for subscription, prom
ises for long credit, and duns for de-
ferred payment. Who is there so green
that he don't take paper? If any, he
need not speak, for we don't mean him
Who is there so green that lie don't ad
vertise? If any, let him slide; he amt
the chap either. Who is there so mean
that he don't pay the printers? If any,
let him speak, for he's the man we are
after.u

we saw slight motion of my
mothers hand-her eyes Enclosed. She
had recovered consciousness, but no
speech. She looked at me and moved
her lips-I could not understand her
words. Mother! mother" shrieked.
"Say only that you forgive me?" She
could not say it with her lips, but her
hand pressed mine. She smiled upon
me, and lifting her thin white hands,
she clasped my own within them. and
cast her eyes upward. She moved her
lips in prayer and thus she died.

dear form till my gentle sister removed
me.-The joy of life had gone forever!
Boys who spurn mothers control,
who are ashamed to own that they are
wrong, who think it manly to resist her
authority, or yield to her influence, be-
ware! Lay not up for yourselves bitter
memories for future years.
The subject of lawyers fees in connec-
ton with the settlement of estates before
surrogates is about to be made matter
of legislative inquiry in the New York
legislature, owing to the fact of the
abuses arising from lawyers in major
| ity of cases absorbing almost entire es-
| tates in fees and other expenses in which
| they are more or less interested. The
New York Graphic is taking an active
part in bringing public attention to these
wholesale robberies of helpless widows
and orphans, and in a recent article
on the subject pertinently says: Our
judges are very properly severe In
furnishing the hungry Wretches who
break into house or who rob careless
woman of her pOrtemOnnaie in the
street. Such miscreants are sent to pri-
son for from ten to thirty years, accord
ing to the whim of the Judge and his de-
sire to secure the cheap applause of un,
thinking people. But the eminent legal
gentlemen who practically conspire with
the opposing counsel and go shares with
dishonest surrogates to rob an estate Of
millions, thereby making widows ano
orphans penniless, are not called to &C
count by any kind of public opinion"
So long have these abuses existed
among lawyers In the city of New YOrl
that it has become common occurrence
for surrogates to retire, after few years
of service and remarkable decisions
very rich men. These are pretty harsf
words toward a profession adorned by
some OF tne brightest IHtelItCIS III III
land, but, nevertheless, there are abund
ant facts wherever litigations occur il
the settlement of wills to justify them
so that the practice of robbing widow
and orphans is not specially confine'
among New York lawyers. We hop
the legislature of that State will set al
example that will produce Its good ef
fects in other localities, and rid the pro
fession of law of practice that, if fol
lowed by merchants or business men 9
any kind, would send them to the peni

That Disease Breeds Disease

Is anotorious fact, It's therefore of vital
importance to check maladies in their

other and more dangerous disorders. AS
a means OF checking complaints which,
if allowed to proceed, finally disorder
the entire system, Hostetter's Stomach

cannot be too strongly urged upon the
sick and feeble The functions are regu-
lated by it, it lnsures the acquisition Of
vigor to the debilitatcd, and substitutes

bladder troubles yield to It's remedial in
tluence; it cOuuteracts tendency to govt

purely botanical sources, and in this, as
in every other c,pect, is superior TO tho
