What Came in q Potato.

The Worcester NIass.) Spy says: A
friend of ours received a day or two ago
through the post office, from Olympia,
Washington Territory, ii roundish, IL
regular package, which on examination
proved to contain Il large potato. Fur
thur Investigation showed that the pota-
to had been cut in two and the inside
scooped out, and in the cavity were
found flowers and leaves, which, as he
learned by a note previously received,
had been picked in a garden in the open
air on the twenty-sixth day of December.
The flowers, pansies, %geraniums and
others were as fresh and bright as if
they had been gathered within m hour,
though their journey across the coli
tinent had occupied fifteen days. .Olym-
pia is in about the latitude of Quebec,
though it's winter climate is not nor So

A Party Comes to Grief.

The Albany Times gives the following
interesting account of the untimely end
ing of o party in that city: A family liv-
ing in Lancaster street went to New
York, leaving the servants in charge of
the house. Surprising that the visit was
to be prolonged till after New Years, the
"Belles of the Kitchen" determined to
improve their opportunity and give n
select party. Invitations were issued and
as jolly q crowd collected as was to lie
found in the whole city. The spread
was ample, the luxurious belongings
were we'll enjoyed, and all went merrya as
n marriage bell. Suddenly a sharp ring
at the door startled those who heard it.
A telegram was handed in announcing
that "the family would arrive within an
hourr!' All was CONSERVATION; the
"guests we're made aware Of the still
alton, and leaving the table but partly
cleared of its good things, donned their
outer garments and departed. The
"hostesses" begun the almost impossi-
bic task of putting things to rights in
the short time allowed them; but did
their best, and at the expiration of the
hour something like order reigned once
more. But the family came not, and
haven't come yet. The telegram was a
heartless forgery committed by some en-
vious creature who didn't get an invita-
ton.

Dull Boys.

Don't be discouraged. Slow growth
is often sure growth. Some minds are
like Norwegian pines. They are slow
in growth, but they are striking their
roots deep. Some Of the greatest men
have been dull boys. Dryden and Swift
was Gibbon. So was Sir Walter Scott.
Napoleon at school had so much diff
calty in learning his Latin that the mas
ter said it ydggsat ned ed l.Yimlet to get IL
word into fis heii1H., Douglas Jerrold
was SO backward in his boyhood that at
nine he was scarcely able to read. Isaac
Barrow, one of the greatest divines the
English church has ever produced, was
so dull that his father more than once
said il God took away Il of his children
he hoped it would be Isaac, as he feared
he would never be fit for anything in
this world. Yet that boy was the genius
of the family.

The PrOdigal.

Inheritors Of vast wealth are proverbially
spcndthrifts. The golden orc is dug from the
mine, Eeiincd. and coined, by the labor of other
hands and the sweat of other browS. Like
children playing with an expensive toy, they
can form no Just estimate of its value. When
the donor weighed it he cast into the balance so
many days of nnrcmitting and fatiguing toll, so
many anxious and ~slccplcSs nights. 80 much
sclf-denial and so much care. But the inhcri-
tor into his balance throws only-plcasurc.
The one values it by what it cost him the other
for what it will purchase. Like the prodiSal in
the Scripture parable, he thougltlcssiy cXpcnds
it to crafty the caprice and cravings of his na-
ture. Then comes the last sccnc-thc misery,
the remOrsc, and the long and wcarisomc jour-
ney back to the hOme Of frugal industry. But
there are other prodigals. On her ~favoritcs
our bounteous parent, nature, has layisllcd her
richest treasurc-health But the prodigal
values it lightly, for it cost him nanght, and
recklcssly squanders it III riotolls living. Present
pleasure obscures future want. Soon the cur
tain rises on the last scene. We see him help
less, impovcrished-thc rich treasures OF body
and mind all lost-in misery and despair. Re-
morscful conscience holds mp to him the mirror
of memory. In his own reckless folly he per.
ccivcs the cause of his present pain. He re-
solves to return. The journey is long and
tedious. but if l3 pcrscvcringly follows the
right road he will ut length zee the haven Of
his hopes in the distance, and nature. seeing
her invalid child afar of, will come ont to meet
him, and receive him back with love and bless

Dear Sb.-Some three years since 1 was, after

reduced as to be unable to sit up, and had fully
given up ever finding anything to help me, rs
my case was conceded by all to be n settled case
of consumption. and therefore deemed totally
incurablc. In that situation / commenced the
uSe of the WILD CHERRY, from which | soon
began to lind some relief. and EcrscvcrCd III
its Use until 1 had taken some three or four

stored and Tor the past two years | have en-
loved better health than | have before in

to the Balsam for my recovery and | think |
hazard nothing in saving that l Owe my present
existence to it, and that it is the best medicine
I have ever known for,,consnmptive conghs and
colds. Having known Of its like beneficial
effects in other cases than my OWL, | would

afflicted.

Sunday at 8 p. M. ut the City Hall.
The choir which was so very entertain
ing during the course of the lectures at
the NJ. E. church was found ready to
lend its aid in f%urtherance Of this good
work. The o was comfortably
filed by a respectable assembly.
The meeting was opened by the choir
singing "Hold the Fort" after which
Rev. L. J. Hall invoked the Masters
blessing on the undertaking. The first
address was by the Rev. Mr.. Pierce, Of
Laramie City, who was listened to with
marked attention. At its close there
was a song by the choir, after which
Hon. J. Z. Weeden, of New York, in q
mastery discourse, showed conclusively
that all alcoholic beverages are deleter-
ious to the human organization.
At the conclusion of this address, the
benediction wa pronounced, and thus
closed the first meeting under the aus
pices and control of the excellent ladies
forming the above association. A
similar meeting will be held every
Sabbath afternoon, of which due notice
will be given. Interesting exercises
