REMEDY FOR TROUBLE.-Work is
your true remedy. If misfortune hits
you hard, you hit something else hard ;
pitch into something with will
There's nothing like good, solid, absorb
ing, exhausting work to cure trouble
If YOU have met with losses, you don't
want to lie awake and think about them.
You want to sleep-calm, sound sleep
and to eat your dinner with appetite.
But YOU can't unless you work. Ifyou
saw YOU don't feel like work, you go
loafing all day to tell Dick and Harry
the story of your woes, you'll lie awake
and keep your wife awake by your toss
ing, spoil your temper and your break
fast the next morning and begin tO-mOr-
row feeling ten times worse than you do
to-day.
There are some great troubles that
only time can heal, and perhaps some
that never can be healed at all ;
but all can be helped by the great pan
acea, work. Try it, you who are afflict
ed. 1t is not patent medicine. 1t has
proved its efficiency since first Adam
and Eve left behind them, with weep
ing, their beautiful Eden. 1t is an effi-
cient remedy. All good physicians in
regular standing prescribe it in cases OF
mental and moral disease. 1t operates
kindly as well as leaving no disagreea-
BILE sequele, and we assure you that We
have taken large quantity of it with
most beneficial results. 1t will cure
more complaints than any nOstrum in
the materia medica. and comes nearer
to being "cure alp than any drug OF
compound of drugs in the market. AnC
it will not sicken you if you do not take
it sugar-coated.- Nea0 Yorker.

O!,i0an Rises FROM the Dead.
THE TRANSFORMATION DETHRONES
THE REASON OF HIS SISTER.

The village of Monroeville is all afame
with sensation the dimensions of which
are in inverse ratio to the size of the
town. On Friday last O young man
named Charles HuestOn was attacked
with .disease supposed to be conges-
ton of the lungs. After remaining in
an unconscious condition for about two
hours, the attending physician exam
ined him and pronounced him dead
Tn the meantime his relatives, living at
Forest, O., had been apprised by tele-
graph of his illness, but arrived at Mon
roeyille too late to see the loved one
alive. They were much affected at his
sudden death, and the grief of his sister,
whose age was near his own, was dis
tressing to see. The remains were
placed on board the afternoon passenger
train on the Pittsburg, Fort wayne and
Chicago railway, to be taken to Forest,
O., for interment. The grief stricken
parents and sister accompanied the re-
mains. The latter refused to go into the
passenger coach, but renamed in the
express car, to be close to the body of him
she loved. Itwas nearly an hour before
the train arrived at Forest, when loud,
unearthly shrek was heard, and in a
second the young girl was PROSTATE up
on the floor in a swoon. Several per-
sons hastened to her rescue, when they,
too, were nearly paralyzed by the dis
covery of the cause OF her singular con-
duct. The supposed corpse Of Charles
Hueston was living, moving and breath
ing. The head was thrust above the
coffin, and the face, with its deathly
pallor, presented weird and CHASTITY
spectacle. The young man was evil
IDENTIFY amazed at his surroundings, and
the first returning CLEANS of conscious
ness found him in position of bewil-
derment. Hueston was taken from his
coffin, restoratives applied under the di
rection of physicians who were on the
train, and when he reached Forest was
removed to his fathers residence. On
Tuesday he was alive, and although
very i'll, he was improving some
what and hope was entertained thai
he will completely recover. The sad
dest feature in the case is yet to tell
The young lady has not had one mo
ment of consciousness since the wilC
shrek which she gave in the car at the
dreadful spectacle which met her eyes
It is feared, indeed, that her reason il
permanently dethroned by the shock.

Good Butter.

| Mr.. EDITOR Has it not occurred to
you when you you have heard the ques-
tion asked why we have so much indif-
ferent butter, that the, merchants have
much of the responsibility therefor p
You ask why? For the obvious reason
that they call everything butter that
comes to their counter. From diffidence,
want of energy or ignorance, they fail
to keep three grades of butter-first quail
| ity, medium and cart grease. Diff
dence, because they have not nerve or
independence to say to a customer, If
| female, that what she calls butter must
properly belong to the third grade; q
want of energy prevents him from using
the requisite pains to make provision
in his countiug-room or cellar for the
three grades; and ignorance of the
market, as to where he can do best with
it.
You have heard, by tradition. of the
quantity and the character of the but
ter Mrs. Maj. Sam. Bell, of Buffalo Gap.
mother of the late Samuel HI. and of
Francis Bell, used to make. You may
have heard of her STEP daughter, now q
venerable matrOn of four-score, who Is
yet able to superintend her dairy, the
proceeds of which, like that of Mrs. Bell,
ranks with Goshen in character, and
ought to bring same price. refer to
Mrs. John Brownlee. Her daughter,
the late Mrs. Mary ]. Bell, of Long
Glade, had in her life time similar
reputation.
On the farm, near Barterbrook, lately
owned by the venerable Walter Davies,
now the property of Mr.. Harnsbarger,
of Rockingham, the character of his
butter and its price is well known, not
alone at home, but at several of the wa
tering places, especially the White Sui
phur.
Now, according to the practice of
many of our merchants all the butter of
these several dairies must be governed
in price by the stuff called butter, which
constitutes half or two-thirds of what
they take in,! and if they had the inde-
pendence to say so to their customers,
should find its place in the cart-grease
category.
l set it down as an axiom, that the
best quality or Goshen butter can under
no circumstances be made unless in q
good dairy, with plenty of pure spring
water.
I made enquiry of merchant few
days since if he would give me within
cent or two of what such butter was
bringing in Stanton. He said no; he
was only giving so and SO Tor butter
cart-grease and all. A day or two after,
stranger at my table remarked the
butter, and, not knowinga a word of what
occurred, said: why, sir, such butter
as this is we'll worth 90 cents pound"
You will readily see gross injustice is
done to you as belonging to the class of
consumers, and the farmers are part to
blame, but the heaviest responsibility
belongs to the merchant.

WAR AND DUELING.-What in prin-
ciple, is war? 1t is the duel between
nations, differing in no respect from the
duel between individuals, except that
the successful combatant is allowed to
carry off as spoil the effects of his van
quished antagonist. 1t is all adjourn
ment of great questions of International
right or courtesy, from the bar of tenn
perate discussion and peaceful arbitra-
ton before peers, to the bar of chance or
mere force. 1t is an appeal from the
reason and conscience Of the parties
themselves, from large views of their
true interests, and from the moral judg-
ments of mankind to the exploded trial
by combat of the middle ages. Alas
alas! that, eighteen hundred years after
the coming OF the Prince of Peace, this
relic OF barbarism should still be clung
to by nations calling themselves Chris
tians, and God grant the penalty which
they are now suffering, and which has
been treasuring itself up for ages, may
deter us from following their dazzling
but dangerous example.-Bishop Potter.

Sweet day, sweet songs! The golden hours
Grew brighter for that singing,
From brook and bird, and meadow flower,
A dearer welcome bringing.
Sweet songs of the free,
Sang from the mountain,
Chanted on lea.
And heard by the fountain,
You ring fhro my soul
As in days gone by,
Finding only goal
In the far-of sky.
--
The minstrel of old,
By the abbey and tower,
Hath sang and told
Oftheir beauty and power;
Fen the pines Of Glen Dee
Are echoing now,
The songs of the free
On the mountain brow!

Grsnt and Franklin.

Some amuse ment has been caused here
by the tasiturnity of Gen. Grant, who Is
not, however, more parsimonlous OF word,
than the first great American citizen who
visited France. In the lite OF Bailly, and
mayor OF Paris, find 1t mentioned that il
was at Chaillot, in little country house
lie received his friends, that he made the
acqualntce Of Franklin, Who had taken up
his abode at Passy with Nine. Helvetius.
"The first meeting between these two
men, who resembed each other IN more
than one point, was" writes NJ. Nouris-
son, strange enough. 1t is known that
Franklin was very silent; as ambassador OF
the United States Of America he was
bound to be SO. Bsilly, preceded by his
reputation, went 10 see Franklin, who re.
ceived him meryeille. Good morning.
NJ. Franklin. How do you DO? Said Bail.
ly. every well, sir, replied Franklin.
"Bailly then sat down by the side OF
Franklin, and, as much through modesty
as respect, not daring TO put another ques-
ton, silence was established between the
pair which lasted two hours. After this
mute conversation, which was az eloquent
on one side as the other, Bailly rose, and
Franklin, conducting him to the door,
shook him by the hand and repeated the
words, Fort bien.'"
