A Word to the Unemployed.

Our attention has been called to new
cooking utensil. recently invented, which
make baking pleasure, instead ola dred
ed necessary; the inventor of which has
conferred an everlasting blessing upon
every housekceper. We refer to the
Patent Centennial Cake and Bread Pan,
with which, by simply raising hook,
you can remove the sides Of the pan from
the cake instantly, without breaking or
injuring it at least, thus enabling you to
ice and frost It while warm. TO remove
the tuce in the center, insert knife in
the slit in the top of the tube, and sim
ply give it half turn, and it will drop
ont, 1t is also provided with slide on
the bottom, so that when you remove the
tube, you eau close the hole, making
pan with plain bottom, for baking jelly
and plain cakes, pudding, bread, ETC.,
thus practically gazing you twe pansJor
the price Of one.
The Centennial Cake Pan is highly
recommended by the ladies as being the
best and most convenient pan ever intro
duced They are made of Russia iron,
are more durable, and DiH bake your cakes
more evenly and much nicer brown than
you can bake them in the ola.fashioned
tin cake pans. These goods are sold
exclusively through agents to families.
and every housekeeper should by all
means have them A SPLENDID opportu-
nifty offered to some reliable lady or gen
tleman canvasser of this county to secure
the agency for pleasant and profitable
business For terms, territory, etc.,

GRUMBLING.

Within the whole scope Of humani.
ty there is not possibly an existence SO
deplorably depressing to the society in
which he or she moves, or with which he
or she is accidentally, or otherwise,
brought into contact, as the grumbler.
Wherever this being goes, there is sure
to follow the dread ghost of discomfort.
The atmosphere Of the family circle is
literally poisoned BY the presence Of this
demon, and the spirit Of happiness, re-
poses no longer under the same rsof.
The domestic grumbler is never content,
and what is worst of all, those that
are the greatest grumblers, are the very
ones that have the least cause for it.
The thrifty housewife grumbles because
her table is not spread as well as she de.
sires, entirely forgetting that, perchance,
within the sound of her voice, the
suffering poor may covet the refuse OF
her table. The young girl, whose only
desire and ambition is to outdress her
neighbor, grnmbles because the " hard
times" prevent their qualification, igner-
ing the fact that there are many as wor-
thy as she. who have barely change OF
raiment The grumbler knows not the
meaning of gratitude. If he could be
above ed to look upon the distress around
him-at the starvation that sneaks into
communities, and sits upon the thresh-
holds of good deserving families, we
think, if there was particle Of nobility
in his nature, he would be ashamed of
his ungrateful discomfort. If he could
forget self, and allow his thoughts to be
given to the condition of the poor around
him, if he was human, we believe he
would cease his murmurings, and be
thankful to the Great Giver that he was
outside of the great roadway of want.
Then away with this idiotic spirit OF
discomfort, cease our murmurings, and
il we are beyond the pale of want, man.
ifest our gratitude by ceasing our grum-
bling, as we'll as doing all in our power
to aid those less fortunate than ourselves

A N oble Act.

Once upon timea young who was
convicted of crime in this city, says the
Detroit Free Press, and sentenced by the
Recorder Swift to the State prison for
three years. He made an A No. record
in prison and was pardoned by Governor
Bagley short time before the expiration
of the term for which he had been SEN
fenced. On his return to Detroit, he
found employment at IS week in one
of the largest wholesale and retail hous
es in the city. He conducted himself in
an exemplary manner, and he began to
believe that his lines had really fallen III
pleasant places, until one morning an
ominious message came informing him
that he was wanted in the proprietor's
private office. Apprehensive that his
history had been disclosed, he entered
the office with heavy heart, but re.
solved to meet the issue Ikea man.
The proprietor stood by his desk hold
ing in his hand letter. His manner in.
dictated nothing Of what was passing in
his mind, but with deprecatory gesture
he handed the letter to his clerk and
told him to read it. The young man
glanced hurredly over the letter a cow
ardly anonymous production,) which
was simply recital Of the dark episode
in his career
lis it true ?" inquired the proprie-
tor.
ut is true,,' was the sad reply.
The merchants face lighted in an in.
slant. He grasped the abashed and
trembling clerk by the bend and said to
him: "You are the man l want. You
may draw Sl3 week from this time un
til further notice, and at the first oppor.
tunity shall give you charge of floor
can trust man who will face the truth
in this fashion aud under these circum-
stances, and you may count upon per
msnent situation SO long as l am in thu
business"
whut the yuung MAN said in response
to this unexpected declaration of conf
dencc has not yet been told; but the mcr.
chant whose sense of justice and love of
truth was SO signally illustrated, may be
assured that he has gained loyal friend
and earned the deathless gratitude not
only Of that young man, but all the fam
lily. 1t is an example worth more thar
whole decades of imprisonment.

Its Our Baby. -

L. j. Wolfe is not an old man; he is
not q young man: but he is married
man, aud has been for several years.
He lives one mile west of Westport,
Mo-, but no children climb upon his
knees wheu the day dechneth or twist the

terday morning he went to the fodder

four or five hours old He took it into
the house and showed it to Mrs. w She
remarked that it had blue eyes; and then
she looked up at her husbands to satisfy
herself that she was not so mistaken,
Wolfe held up his hand and said he
would swear, but the good wife didn re-
quireit. So this new founding was com
passed about with new linen, and Mrs.
W. sat down to make baby clothes, while
Wolfe got out on the floor and danced

GOLD AND SILVER.

In his addtess lately delivered before
the American Bankers Association, in
New York, Hon. W. s. Geoesbeck made
the following remarks in favor of tho re.
monetization of silver:
There is an aspect Of this subject
which has presented itself to me again
and again. We arc told we must aban-
don silver because Germany has done it,
1t is not shown that this was wise in
Germany. No one has yet expressed
such an opinion. But, wise or foolish,
she has seen fit to do it, and therefore we
must. don't like this. 1t has the APP
pearance of timidity, and there is a lack
OF courage and independence about it.
can understand how a small nation,
lying in the shadow ofthat great empire
and in territorial contact with it, may
unavoidably be influenced by its policy.
But we are under no such embarrassment,
and we are strong enough and should be
brave enough to stand upon our own
policy, Is it SO, that we must now and
| always hereafter, change our system of
money, regardless of our condition and
advantages, whenever Germany or Eng
land sees tit to changer Are they to
dominate us ? Shall we be ever looking
ncavously and timidly toward England,
to know what we should doy Let US
rather turn around and look upon our
selves, upon our extraordinary resources
upon our rich mines Of every kind in the
EARTH and our rich lands on the earth /,
upon our magnificent domain. whose
boundaries are the shores of the conti
nent, and upon the swarming, Industrious
and enterprising people who occupy it,
What are they equal to, with such oppor-
tunilies and advantages and what is
their will Let it be enough for us to
comprehend the one and know the other,
and so arrange our policy.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let
its wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Cough, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and

No person can use it without immediate
relief Three doses will relieve any case
and we consider it the duty of all Drug
gist to recommend it to the por dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as 10000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such medicine as the

known. Ask your Druggist about it,

DEBT PAYING FAITH-There was q
