injuro himself by study, may be new, yet
in the hot-bed life Of cities we find boys,
never ut best very strong, who are actual
ly running themselves for life, by too close
application to study, and their brains are
crammed and oyerWorkcd, while their
bodies are neglected, as il OF very little

bows, with colorless skins and flabby flesh
The anxious parents of such youths con-
suit their doctor, who well knows that
they need no medicine. but some attention
to the development Of their bodies, and
rest for their brains. To meet the wants
of these ovcrworked boys as well as others
who need it, our friend Dr. j. I. Roth

boys will live in camp fashion, and have
camp fare; they will have practice in all

NANCY PRIEST, AUTHOR OF OVER TIE
RIVER, the late Mr.. A. G. Wakefield
is the subject of II sketch by Rev. 4. S.
Best, OF Chicopee, in the May number of
the National Repository. She certainly
deserves the honor of remembrance, and
MIR. Best, besides tracing rs closely us need
be the course of her uneventful life, devo-
tes some pains 10 exhibit her singularly
unambitipus and even selfdepreciating
nature. Her verses were always the
quality of expressing in musical phrase
the common emotions, and this gave its
great popularity to her first notable poem,
"Over the River" printed almost 20 years
ago. Mr.. Best quotes that and few
others of her best verses; among them,
" Kiss me, mother, and let me CO." and
" The Wide Awake Man." both poems of
the war, and the latter in vein of sting
ing satire that was quite exceptional with
her. And the article concludes with a
poem found among her papers after her
death, and addressed to her husband, from
which we quote the three first stanzas =
When the last change that comes to all
Shall DER my features spread
When from my eyes lifG's light fades out,
And from my cheeks the red
When o'cr this heart that once beat warm
The pulseless hands you fold
Oh, kiss my faded lips, beloved,
Albeit they are cold.
For since the time when our two lives
Together blent in one,
Like streams that from two different springs
Flow singing into one,-
No matter what of hope or light
Thcweary day might miss,
never close my eyes at night
Without thy goodnight kiss.
Forever in the quiet grave
Albeit they say the dead
Know nothing of the busy world
That whrls above their head
think my sleep would be less deep
If any but thine own
Were the last earthly touch felt
Ere | was left alone.

There is a school on Washington street,
and the sign reads, "School for young

five years of age" A baby's dress costs
as much as lis grandmother's wedding

years of age, keeps fast horse at twenty,
and at thirty is on the high road to the

About Wisconsin.

The territory now known as the State
of Wisconsin was claimed by France, on
the ground of discovery by its mission
aries and teachers in $780, who governed
it until they ceded it to Great Britain i'll
1853. 1t was held by the British nation
until 1882, when she ceded all her pos
sessions northeast of the Ohio to the
United States. Wisconsin was then
thrown under the te rtorial government
of Ohio by the ordinance of 1887. On
the fourth of July, 1900, Indian Terri
tory was organized, and it was attached
TO that Territory until April Is, 1918,
when Illinois became State. 1t was
then attached to the Territory of Wis
consin July 4, 1886; SO that Wisconsin
WAS governed by the king of France
ninety-three years, the king of Great
Britain twenty years, by the State of
Virginia one year, by the Territory of
Ohio sixteen years, by the Indian Terri
toly nine years, by Michigan Territory
eighteen years and by Illinois Territory
nine years. She continued Territory
of the United States nearly twelve years,
when, on the thirteenth of March, 1S4S,
she became the thirtieth State of the
American Union.

Coughing i'm Church.

The attendants of churches where
coughing is liable to be followed by
critical remarks from the minister,
should know that coughing is not such n
necessity as many imagine. 1t partakes
of the nature of habit There is no
need for coughing at every little irrita-
ton in the throat. You will be surprised
ON making an effort to suppress your
cough to see how little coughing you can
get along with. Were q man to stand
threatening you with a club or pistol
and offering to blow your brains out at
the first cough you would find that the
will power is most efficacious in suppress
lug these bronchial instructions. A
French surgeon used to say whenever he
entered the wards of the hospital: "The
first patient who coughs will be deprived
of food to-day" And very few then
coughed. DIR. Brown-Saquard says that
coughing may be prevented by pressing
ON the nerves of the lips in the neighbor-
hood of the nose, by pressing in the
neighborhood of the ear, and by pressing
very hard on the top of the mouth.

His Club Life.

After Commodore Vanderbilt joined
the Union club and heard in the season,
the talk of its most voluble members
turn upon yachting he used to say that
some day he would show them how to
sail boat by taking the slowest yacht
in the squadron and winning regatta
cup. After thus bantering the nautical
enthusiasts for several years he fulfilled
his pledge, chose the Edgar yacht Cor
nelia, that had never approached prize,
and beat the whole squadron in the East
river by his mastery management of the
sluggish craft, standing at the helm from
eleven A. NJ. until dark, when he brought
her in handsome winner.

Why Advertise 7

People sometimes ask why does DR.. II. V.
Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, spend no much money
in advertising his family medicines, which are
30 well known and surpass all other remedies
in popularity and sale. 1t is well known that
A. T. Stewart considered 1t good policy, and
undoubtedly it paid'him, to spend many hundred
thousand dollars in advertising his goods, yet no.
body questioned the excellence of his merchan-
disc. The grand secret of success lies i'll offer
ing only goods which possess merit to sustain
themselves, and then through liberal and persis-
tent advertising making the people thoroughly
acquainted with their good qualities Men
do not succeed in amassing great fortunes, es-
tablishing thriving and permanent business,
and founding substantial institutions like DR..
Pierce's Grand Invads' Hotel at Buffalo,
which cost over two hundred thousand dollars.
unless their business be legitimate, their goods
meritorinus. and their services which they
render the people genuine and valuable. DIR.
Pierce does not attempt to humbug you by
telling you that his Golden Medical Discovery
will cure all diseases. He says "If your lungs
are half wasted by consumption, my Discovery
will not cure YOU. yet as q remedy for severe
coughs AID all curable bronchial, throat and
lung affections. believe il to be unsurpassed
as n remedy" The people have confidence in
his medicines because he does not over rec
ommend them, md when tried they give salts

nine hundred pages, illustrated by two hundred
and eighty-two cngravings and bound in clotl

that almost ono hundred thousand have already
been sold. His memorandum books are OF

Popularity.

The popularity of Messrs. James S. Kirk &
Co.'S soaps. manufactured in Chicago. is shown
by the unprecedented sale which their goods
have reached during the year 1876. This by
far is the largest soap manufacturing concern
in the United States, producing and selling in
all parts Of this country, from the Red river Of
the North to New Orleans, and from Portland
Me-, to San Francisco, $4,000, 600 pounds an
nually. No so-called greases enter into these
soaps. Only pure refined tallow and vegetable
oils are used, containing no adulteration. Fair
and square weights always reliable. This is
why their soaps are SO popular with all good
and economical housekeepers.

If any man has heretofore failed to
recognize the necessity of saving, let
him look around and observe the condi-
ton of men over fifty who are without
means and seeking employment. No
one will take them. "We can get plenty
of young men, why take old ?" people
say. "Why in the world do you keep
that old fellow ?" asked hotel proprietor
OF his head waiter, who had retained a
man past fifty, an excellent worker, in
the plate ROOM This is the prevailing

Sowing ON Horseback.

Numerous as have been the instructions
of late for preserving the almost "lost
art " of sowing grain by hand, there re-
mains one mode that has escaped men
ton, and which, when mentioned, will
probably be derided by those who have
not tried it. 1 allude to sowing on horse
back. Sulky rakes, sulky rollers, etc.,
are regarded as useful contrivances for
the saving of human labor but none of
your correspondents appear to have
thought of making the horse perform the
labor of walking, and carrying seed bag
and sower to and fro across the field dur
ing the operation of sowing the grain.
And yet, after a long experience, the
writer has found that he could distribute
seed grain more regularly from the saddle
than on foot, and with far more ease and
comfort-as any good scotsman will find
after short practice. Grass seeds, how
ever, being lighter than grain, are best
sown on foot.-COunt1y Gentleman.
