s'The Conflict OF Ages"

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
have always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought over
one day may be universally adopted at another,
and those sacrificed regarded as heroes and
martyrs. Medicine has also been subject to
revolutionary disturbances. When Drs. Har-
vey and Jenner announced their discoveries,
they were held in contempt and ridicule by an
incredulous and ignorant public; vet today
they are received and honorcd by all, as benc-
factors. When DR.. Pierce announced his Dis
co"ery, many seemed to doubt, and were skcp-
tical concerning all medicines and doctors, but
proof of merit has dispellcd all doubt, and to-
day the Golden Medical Discovery is the stan
dard remedy in curing the most obstinate dis
eases of the liver and blood, having almost en-
tircly superseded the old time sarsaparillas by
reason Of its superior merits.

The Value OF Money.

A silver dollar represents days work
Of the laborer. 1t is given to boy. He
has no idea of what it has cost or Of what
it is worth. He would as likely give a
dollar as dime for top or any other toy.
But if the boy has learned to earn the
dimes and dollars by the sweat of his
face he knows the difference. Hard work
is to him q measure of values that can
never be rubbed out of his mind. Let him
learn by ex perience that hundred dol
lars represents hundred weary days labor
and it seems a great sum Of money; a
thousand dollars is fortune, and ten
thousand is almost uncomfortable, for it is
far more than he ever expects to possess.
When he has earned dollar, he thinks
twice before he spends it. He wants to
invest it SO as to get the full value of a
days work for it. 1t is a great wrong to
society and to a boy to bring him up to
mans estate without this knowledge. A
fortune at twenty one without it is almost
inevitably thrown away. With it, and a
little capital to start on, he will make
his own fortune better than anyone can
make it for him.-Hunt's MercAants'
Journal.

" A Tale that is Told"

We don't Ike to make our readers feel
bad, but are they aware that ninety years
hence not a'single man Or woman now
twenty years ofage, will be alive2> Ninety
years! Alas! how many of the lively
actors at present on the stage of life will
make their exit long ere ninety years shall
have rolled away? And could we be sure
of ninety years, what are they? "a tale
that is told;" dream; an empty sound
that passeth on the wings of the wind
away, and is forgotten. Years shorten as
man advances in age. Like the degrees
in longitude, mans life declines as he
travels toward the frozen pole, until it
dwindles to a point and vanishes forever.
Is it possible that life is of so short du-
ration9 Will ninety years erase all the
golden names over the doors in town and
country, and substitute others in their
stead? Will all the new blooming beau
ties fade and disappear? all pride and pas
sion, the love, hope and JOY, pass away in
ninety years, and be forgotten! "Ninety
years." says Death, do you think 1 shall
wait ninety years2 Behold, to day and
tomorrow, and every day, are mine.
When ninety years are passed, this gener
alton will have mingled with the dust,
and be remembered not"

Late Beans and Peas.

The Germantown Telegraph has the fol-
lowing suggestions on this subject:
There are few garden luxurics more
sought for than good peas and snap
short beans; but it is extremely rare
that people know what good peas and
beans are. The peas are generally as
hard as short, and the beans have to be
chcwed as if they were so much tow,
although the cook may have "stringed -
them before boiling. A good pea slonld
almost melt in the north like ice-cream,
or at least mash as easy as draw-butter;
and there is no reason why they may not
always be this way. As for the bean,
there is no more reason. for having strings
in it than there should he strings in roll
of maccaroni.
In cool countries peas and beans arc
almost always tender and nice; it is our
hot soil that gives them the tough ten

A Bitter Lesson for her,

A dark-haired, slender young girl, with
large brown eyes and pleasant face,
stood at the prisoners dock in New
York police court. She was neatly DRESS
ed, though her attire was we'll worn. and
she stood with bowed head, while an &C.
casional sob shook her slender form.
Two other female prisoners stood IN the
dock with her. The one on her right was
bold-faced woman, dressed in cheap
but gaudy finery, bedecked with tawdry
]ewelry and evidently familiar with her
surroundings. The other was an old
woman in dirty rags, which she scarcely
held upon her shoulders with one thin
and grimy hand. Her eyes were bleared
and her face bruised and bloated.
The judge looked at the strangely as
sorted trio. Then he said to the weeping
girl:
How is it that so young girl as you
should have come to this?"
II did not intend to get drunk judge"
said the girl. II went to woman's
house and we drank some beer together,
and somehow don't rcmemder what hap
pened after that until found myself in
the CELL
"How old are you2"
81 am going on sixteen sir.''
"Sixteen! How do you like your
neighbors2 Look to your right; that is
your next step. It won't take very long
for you to reach that stage if you con-
tinue as yon have begun. Now, look to
your left: that is nearly the end, but it is
the sure end Of the downward path.''
The young girl sobbed, but said moth
ing.
"You are young resumed his honor.
"This IS your first offence; 1 hope it
will be your last. You can CO."
The girl left the courtroom with hang
ing head, but the poman on the right
laughed and the woman on the left leered
as they waited for their turn.

The Man Who was Excited Over the
War News.

Mr.. White, Detroiter Of middle-age,
visited this Office yesterday to find a war
map and to have chat about the Euro
pean situation, and it wasn't ten minutes
before his enthusiasm was up to the boil
ing F. Point int; \. ,,o,+,, +,o,..,a. md mil,
lions and billions of dollars to this coun-
try!" he shouted, as he broke through one
of the office chairs.
"Yes, it will,"' somebody remarked.
"1t will stiffen wages, bring out capt.
tai, make money plenty, and Just set us
all to whooping!' he whoopcd as he
scratched the leg wounded at the first
Bull Run.
Somebody remarked that it probably
would.
Taking five newspaper war maps under
one arm, and the London Times under
the other, Mr.. White left the Office and
proceeded directly homeward, feeling
more patriotic every moment.
ooh! we're going to lay 'em right out,
Nancy" he said, as he dropped his hat
in the hall.
"Did you order the tlour2" she asked,
in a careless tone.
Flour! What do l. care about flour?
The Russians have got Kars and half of
the Turkish army!'
-" Have, eli! Well hope that paper
hanger will be here in the morning,
You didn't think to see about"
Right here is Kars, and right here is
where the Turks got mauled" he ex-
claimed as he knelt on the floor and
traced one Of the maps.
. Did, CHI! Say, John, can't you rake off
the lawn this morning, and did you see
about the whitcwashing?"
"Will you talk about whitewashing
when all Europe is convulsed with ware"
he ficrcely demanded, as he shook the
other four maps at her.
SID like those onion beds marked
out to-day" she replied, as she hunted
through the work-basket for 4 button with
IN eye on it.
"Onion beds marked out, when this
very copy Of the London Times editorially
predicts that million armed men will he

the balance of his maps. There was

five hundred pieces, and banged the Lon

A Very Little in Bank.

Among the subscribers to Audubon s
magnificent work on ornithology was
John Jacob Aston. He was always ready
to encourage such works, and he put his
name down upon Audubon's book for one
thousand dollars. During the progress
Of the work, which proved to be more ex-
pensive than had been at first anticipated
Mr.. Audubon often found himself obliged
to call upon his generous patrons for
assistance; but he did not call upon Mr..
Aston until the letter-press and the plates
had been made, however, he called upon
the great merchant for his thousand dol
lars.
"Ah, Mr.. Audubon" said the owner of
millions, "you came in a very bad time.
Money is scarce and hard, and I have
everything snugly and tightly invested"
And SO the ornithologist called, time
after time, and was often put off. 1t was not
because MI. Astor did not wish to pay,
but it was from that strong desire, grow
ing stronger with his years, to keep his
property intact, and see it increased.
When he had paid away hundred thous-
and dollars for really benevolent pur-
pose he felt good, as a man feels good
who has got rid of an aching tooth. It
was only the wrcnching away of the
money that hurt him.
At length Audubon called the sixth
time. Mr.. Astor had commenced to be-
moan the low, ebb condition of his cash
in hand, when he caught disappearing
look from his son William, who happened
to be present.
But" said the old man, after a pause,
I" suppose you want your money, and,
really, should like to let you have it.

William, have we any money in the
bank?"
Evidently John Jacob had expected
his son to answer simply yes; and it may
be that William B. thought his father
wished to know something of the bank &C.
count. At at rate he was just fresh from
the casll-on-hand page of the ledger, and
he answered.:
"Yes-we have a little over a hundred
thousand in the Bank of New York {;
eighty thousand in the city Bank; ninety
thousand in the Merchants; nincty-cight
thousand four hundred in"
"That'll do, William! That'll do! I
guess, Mr.. Audubon, William can give
you a check for the money"

him to his clothing, allowing him to run
over his body at will. Dick has had
many experiences, which he relates. A
couple Of them are worth telling. One
carly morning, after nights work in
the subterrancan regions of hotel in
New York, he entered Third avenue car
with his assistant to return home. Tired
out with their labors they both: fell asleep
Suddenly Dick was awakened by loud
scream, and he,opened his eyes to find
the sleepy passengers. now thoroughly
awake, standing upon the seats with the
conductor dancing about like one de
mentcd on the floor, in his cndeavors to
keep out ofthc way Of the rats that were
scampcring about in every direction. The
assistant, instead of keeping awake and
shaking up the bag from time to time,
= had fallen asleep, and the rats had gnawcd
their way through and escaped into the
car. The door once opened and there
was a rush for it, in which rats and hu-
man beings struggled for exit. In the
meantime Dick calmly concealed the
bag and kept his seat. .~...
Upon another early morning, with
q dark lantern in one hand and the pin
GERS in the other, with his assistant hold
ing the bag Of rats, he stood upon the
corner of the street waiting the coming
Of car. A vigilant guardian of the
peace passed, His eye caught the dark
lantern and the pincers, which he imme-
diately concluded, were burglars tools,
and especially when he saw the bag in
the hands Of the assistant, he was certain
it contained the plumber. As he ap-
preached they moved off. He called up
on them to stop, but they needed him
not. He ran after them, and catching them
j demanded to know what they had in the
bag. Dick refused to tell him. Finally
he determined to investigate himself:
