THE FIRST ATTEMPT At Con.
VERrING.-A barber who had be-
come converted to religion. was told
that he must work for the souls about
him. The tOnsorial artist was diff.
fident man, and did not know Row
to begin but one day pretty hard
case came in to be shaved, and he
thought he would improve the OPP
portunity. The expected convert was
seated in chair duly lathered, the
rezor strOpped till the edge was as
keen as Damascus blade, and just
ready to apply TO the customers
throat when the barber whispered in
his ear: "Are you prepared to die ?"
With a bound and a shout the victim
left the chair, crying, mot if know
it"-rushed up the street hatIess, Ter
rifed lest he should be pursued by
the, as he supposed, wOuld-be muir
derous barber. The wielder of the
razor has given up conversion during
business hours.

DIED.

AT Portland, Preston comfy. West
Va, Nov. Dist, 1877, in the 9th
year of his age, Eddie L., beloved
son of John and Asenath White. af-
ter long and painful illness such as
always accompanies that fearful dis
ease, Consumption. A few weeks
previous to his death, he was re-
moved from his fathers house near
Oakland, Garrett county, Nd, to
Portland, w. Va, to receive medical
treatment from DR.. FOgle of that
place, where he remained surrounded
with every attention and care that
loving friends could bestOW until his
life Waned away, and then, on the
Ord inst, his remains were brought
back to Oakland on the way train
and removed to the NJ. E. Church,
followed by many relatives and SYM
pathizing friends, where a very i'm
pressive S,rmon was delivered by
j. NJ. Davis, from the text, For in
the hour when We think not, the Son
Of Man cometh." From thence the
fuIeral procession moved to the Old
family burial place on the farm now
owned by j. w. Lee, about four
miles from Oakland, and there com
mitted him to his last resting place.
Though he was not professor of re-

ligion, yet he was a. man Of an hon
est, upright character in all of his
business transactIGn4, and always
kind, obligiwg an6 moral and u man
respected by ali wht, kne# BIN.
Though we find il hard tV part from
him, we must give Rim hb. A few
days previous to his death, whilst Il
loving brother was watching BY his
bed and he seemingly in Il quiet
slumber, all Of a sudden his eyes
opened whilst a radiant smile lit up
his features. Said his brother "were
you dreaming, Eddie ?" eyes"
said he, "sweet dreams - and now
he has gone to realize the happy re-
ality of those ''sWeet dreams," while
the grief stricken father, mother,
brothers and sisters are left behind.
They have our sympathy in their sad
bereavement. But
You have a hope to cheer your breasts
That your dear Eddie's gone to restg
For as his dyingli lips did move,
He spoke of Jesus with much love.
Then why should we thus shed q tear
For we may soon be with him there;
YES, we may soon in Glory dwell
And lie with those we love so well.
A FRIEND.

How to Place the Bed.

Baron Reichenbach, who has de-
voted many years of deep study to
the art of bed.making, maintains
that you must not always lie on your
bed as it is made, under penalty of
abridging your life by a great num-
Der Of years. If, says the baron,
mere magnet exercises an influence
on sensitive persons, the earth's mag
netism must certainly make itself
felt on the nervous life of man.
Hence he insists on the salutary eff
fects of the inhabitants of the north
ern hemisphere lying with their
heads to the north, and those of the
southern with their heads to the
south. For travellers with short
memories we may put the rule in
general terms: In whatever hemis-
phere you may be, always sleep with
your feet to the equator, and let your
body lie true as the needle to the
pole" In giving this rule the baron
has simply told us how to live a
hundred years: for the polar direc-
ton Of the body is, it appears of the
utmost importance for the proper cir
culation of the blood, and we have
Baron Reichenbach's authority for
stating that many disturbances in the
human organisms have been cured
by simply placing the bolster at a
different point of the compass. Let
such as have hitherto been in the
habit of sleeping with their heads
Wnere their feet ought to be, take
to heart the example of the late DIR.
Fishweiter, of Madgeburg, who died
recently at the age of 100 years, and
always attributed his long life to his
faithful observance of the polet to pole
position of sleeping. The most un-
healthy position we are told, is when
the body lies due east and west.
Some observers assure us that to
sleep in sdch posture is tahtamount
to committing slow suicide, and that
diseases are often aggravated by de-
ViatiOns from the polar posture.

Turn this under with your pillow, and
you can then raise something he tter.
Keep feeding your soil with every
thing your shovel and your team can

you can get them by drawing them
within five miles; muck mari, any
thing that will bring a green mantle
over your fields. Soon you can set
the clover pumps at work, pumping
up to the surface the ineXhaustible

son performed a wonder by taking
honey from the dead carcass of

and mix with them two or three
times their bulk of ashes from YOUR
kitchen, mOisten them with enough
water so that the potash may act on

over once week, and in month or

The rapidity and certainty with
which DR.. Morris Syrup of Tar, Wild
Cherry and Horehound cures diseases
of the respiratory Organs and its reli-
ability as a remedy for consumption
long ago secured for it foremost
rank among medicines OF its class.
1t is in fact the recognized specific for
throat and bronchial disorders. 1t
promptly checks cough, no matter
of how long standing, and affords
great relief in cases of asthma. 1t
should not be mistaken for mere
palliatiOn, since it not only affords
immediate reiet, but removes all
traces of the maiady. 1t is a specific

Virginia. Before and After the War.
From the Farmville Mercury

From the Farmville Mercury
1t is about time for Nirginians to
give up talking about the state Of
things "befOre the war" Charles
Dickens and every other traveller
vino visited the State "before the
war;" testify that everything was
going to rack and ruin. Dickens,
especially, noted "the decayed APP
pearanca" fante-bellum Richmond
and it is certain that the State capt.
tai is now twice as large and ten
times as beautiful and prosperous as
it ever was "before the war" 1t is
since the war that Norfolk has made
giant strides and become the second
cotton port in the Union. 1t is since
the war than Danville has risen from
Il city of 2,000to nearly 1900 inhabi-
tants. 1t is also since the war that
Lynchburg, Farmville, Staunton
and many other towns have increased
their trade and multiplied their in
habitants. Doubtless the landed
arist0cracy were better off "before
the war;" but all other classes, in
Guiding the small farmers, have no
real reason for grumbling at the
changed condition Of affairs.

Tammany and It's Furniture Man

Mr.. James IngersoIl, the furniture
man for the Tammany ring, testified
before the New York aldermanic in

He said his original firm name was

body. He Accommodated the ring by
putting on his bills as high as sixty
five per cent. at times for them to
divide among themselves. He paid
out about Sl,000,000 for furniture
supplied the city, and the gross
amount of claims paid him by the
city was 50, 549, 329. He would gen
orally draw the whole amount of the
bill, take thirty five per cent. for
himself, and then personally distrib-
ute among the members of the ring
envelopes containing different
amounts Of the remaining siXty-five
per cent, Tweed usually getting
twenty-five per cent, Watson fifteen,
Conrelly ten, Sweeney ten and
Woodward five. Ingersoll said he
was worth about $780, 900 at the time
of the ring exposure, but was now
worth only 100000, having since
lost heavily by various stock and bus
mess transactions. Upon being ask
ed if he was the means of defrauding
the city out of some $1,000, 900 he re-
piled, latter a long pause, "Well,
yes, indirectly" The committee

Water.

Water in substance or in the form
Of steam is the worlds great moter,
and the valuable assistant in mans
various enterprise; but in the form of
steam it becomes an exceedingly
dangerous as well as useful agent,
and requires care and skill in its
management, as scalds are often not
only painful in the extreme but very
serious, and if not attended properly,
fatal in their results. Kellers Roman
Liniment has proven itself the best
means known to Immediately al
leyiate the intense suffering rom
scalds, and cure without leaving a
scar.

No less than thirty thousand Phil

on election day, not because they
had any special objection to the can
didates, but because they were oppos-
ed to the way in which the nomina-

do not propose to follow the lead of
politicians who have no higher aim
than their own political advance
ment, and they are right.
