ABoUT BAruINd.-We find in the journal
Of Chemistry the following excellent hints as
given by DR.. Bond Of London:
In taking cold bath in the morning the
surface Of the body should be warm and
moist therefore the bath should be takon
Immediately on rising from the bed, and be.
fore the surface Of the body has had time TO
cool or the capillaries to contract. The shock
Of cold water should cause them suddenly to
contract, then quick reaction will take place
in the same way as after a Turkish bath.
Unless this reaction occurs after the bath
there is great danger of getting a chill at
any rate tho full benefit of the bath is not
obtained Persons with weak circulation,
who cannot take an ordinary morning bath,
often derive great benefit from the Turkish
bath. 1t opens the pores and improves the
circulation Of the skin, so that the shock of
cold water can afterwards be borne. The
same persons can generally bear a cold bath
it they get for few minutes into
warm bath FIRST and then Immediately plunge
into cold water. BY these means an active
reaction is brought about. Warm baths
should, in my opinion, never be taken on
rising except under the above conditions, but
warm baths at night are desirable. They
should be taken just before going to bed,
when they have the effect of relaxing the
muscular system and Of promoting sleep by
soothing the activity Of the brain by the with
drawal Of blood from it. | do not think
warm baths at night are weakening, as the
depression OF vital energy which may occur
is recovered during sleep.

cxhortation followed, in which numerous
persons took part There was a large at.
tendance Of prominent business men present,
although the majority Of the audience were
ladies.
Fashionable expensive church chors are

"Six" of the State street church, Springfield,
Mass, cut off theirs and have congregation,

from their bill Of "swoct singing for Israel !"
the Molhodists clip to the tune of 5000 the
Unitariaus talk of discounting their bill

look as though these hard times were sent of
the Lord to deliver the saints from the bond.
age of these "quartettes' so often made up
Of the most graceless people Of any musical
culture. We are not sure but that happy,
delivered congregations who are permitted
to return to the good old ways and praise
God in song in the congregations of Israel,
will have to make mp a grand testimonial of
iering, in the shape of some great public
charity, unto the Lord for these hard times.
Their harps of praise have been hanged on

PERPErUITY OF THE GRANGE.-"IIow is
the grange dong2 Men tell me it is on the
wanc."
We ask, is the Sunday school interest dy-
ing QUIT No. we answer most cmphaticaly,
no. Never in the history of this country has
the Sunday school had such hold on the
affections Of the people, or so much influence
for good rs it has to-day, and yet it is not
necessary to stand on the street corners and
proclaim its greatness and extol its virtues.
At the first part Of the career Of the grange
there was much said about it, but much the
oudest noise was made by outsiders, many
of whom had an interest in it only so far as
they imagined that it would in some way ad-
vance their peculiar interests, which it has
not done. The well wishors of the grange
and farmers generally outside, aud the mem
bers never have made much noise, aud dur
ing the busy season give less attention than
usual to the order, but like the Sunday
school it has never had greater hold upon
the esteem of its members its benefits have
never been better appreciated than now.
1t is next to impossible for the grange 10
"die out" having so much of the element of
usefulness in it aud meeting, as it does, the
social and intellectual wants of the farmer.
a degree Of antagonism has sprung up be-
tween the merchants and the oranges which
is the result mostly Of a misapprohension Of
their true mission aud the effect Of the organ
ization npon commerce. These things are
becoming daily better understood, and as
that is the case the antagonism wears off
Merchants cannot longer remain blind to the
fact that the more money farmer gets the
more he will spend, and while he may buy
staples from first hands, and save money by
it, he will in turn spend that money for more
of the comforts OF life which consist so often
Of such articles as he eau seldom buy salts.
factoriy by order, and the consequence is
that the merchant sells as many or more
goods. and the farmer by this manner OF in-
vestlng his money is enabled to purchase aud
enjoy more of the comforts Of life, such as
he is so justly entitled to, and nobody hurt.
An able and wise course on the part of those
honored and trusted with positions in the
grange will insure success, marked and com.

Why do people so frequently say to DIR. Pierce, 81

an extent has this been pracced that IL IL wonder
that many have acquired prejudices against all adver
tised remedies. But DIR. Pierce does not advertise his
standard preparations 'cUre-als," does not claim
that they will perform miracle, out simply publishes
the fact that they have been developed specifies for
certain forms of disease for which he recOmme nds them
after having tested their efficacy in many hundred
with the most gratifying success. II Is a fact
known to every woll-intOrmed physician that many

ADDISON COUNTY.

Dr. Il. e. Prime removed scirrhus tu-
NOR for Mrs. o. Stedman OF Bristol last
Monday, with excellent success.
The talk now is that Bristol, Lincoln, and
will bond themselves for a rail-
road from there toVergennes or New Haven,
Vergennes is favored by most, on account of
the steamboat connection there.
A Lincoln correspondent says that among
the natives Of that town-lying up on the
lower slope Of the mountain, GU the extreme
eastern borders Of Addison county-are Ed.
win X. Clay, for many years merchant in
Middlebury; George N Pope, the we'll
known member of Miner, Pope & Co., of
the Queen City, whose pure spices have such
a wide reputation; Doran II. Stearns, editor
Of the Portland, Oregon, "Bee," who re-
ceiyed his education in "Brstol Academy"
as many others have, and was in Berdan's
sharp-shooters and also in Andersonvile I;
Oscar A. Thayer, the head Of the state
grange in New Hampshire, was educated in
the sold south school house," and at present
is engaged in the Mason a. Hamln organ
works, aud Walter S. Burnham, promising
young merchant in Ashtabula, Ohio. This
certainly is a goodly list, and we congratu.

Of so good town, as we have rode up the
narrow, winding road beside the wild New

lN THE IDEAL HoUsEHILO there is no ques-
ton OF superior and Interior Love settles
all. Husband and wife learn each others
strength and weakness, and each knows how
to yield aud how to get the full fruitage of
the others wisdom. But there are few ideal
households. Aud in those that are not ideal
the road to peace lies in the wiio's acqa-
oscence in the truth that the husband is the
households official head, She may yield re-
spect to the office even when she can give
but scaut respect to him who occupies it.
The husband is the head Of the household
not because he is tho superior of the wife
He is greatly her inferior But every or
ganizatiou requires head. The private may
be wiser than his captain, the clerk than his
employer, the cabinet officer than the presi-
don't but in each case the subordinate rec
ognlzes the superiority in position Of one who
may be inferior in character Christian

PRIVATE WoEs.-Real troubles can never
fail to receive the trbate of warm and en-

last forever, nor are they the ones concerning
which the most rout is made, for deep sorrow

of the literally cureless diseases Of the body,
these the sufferer conceals to the last posi-
bic moment, and those, by tho very fever
they excite in the blood, kiudle cheerfulness

q To You've BRIDEs,-Thc following from
fIarper's is very near the truth
The pastor Of church in one of our large
cities said to me not long ago II have Of
iciated at forty weddings since | came here
and in every case, felt that the bride was
running an awful risk Young men Of bad
habits and fast tendencies never marry girls
Of their own sort, but demand a wife above
suspicion. So pure, sweet women, kept from
the touch Of evil through the years of their
girlhood, give themselves with all their cost
ly dover Of womanhood into the keeping of
men who, in base associations, have learned
to undervaue all that belongs to them, and
then find no time for repentance in the sad
after years. There is but one way out Of
this as | can see, and that is for you-the
young women of the country--to require in
association and marriage, purity for purity,
sobriety for sobriety, and honor for honor
There is no reason why the young men Of this
Christian land should not be Just as virtuous
as its young women, and if the loss Of your
society and love be the price they are forced
to pay for vice, they will not pay it. | ad.
NIT with sadness that not all our young wo-
men are capable Of this high standard for
themselves or Others but believe there are
enough earnest, thoughtful girls in the society
Of our country to work wonders if faithfully
aroused. Dear girls, will you help us, in
the name OF Christ? Will you, FIRST Of all,
be true to yourselves and God So pure in
your inner and outer life that you shall have
right to ask that the young men with whom
you associate, and especially those you mar
ry, shall be the same? The awful gulf Of

down. viii you not help US in our great
