The reputation it has attained, in consequence of the marvellous cures it has produced during the last half cen- tury, is a sufficient assurance to the public that it will continue to realize the happiest results that can be desired. In almost every section of country there are persons, publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use. All who have tried 1t &C., knowledge it's superiority; and where its virtues arc known, no one hesitates as to what medicine to employ to re- lieve the distress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affections. CHERRY PEc- ToRAL always affords instant relief, and performs rapid cures of the milder ya- rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as the more formidable diseases of the lungs.

7 Sweet ~BY.and.By."

Go where we may we are sure to hear
the pathetic melody of the "Sweet By
and-By." Was there eyer so much
music in four simple monosyllables?
There is hope wrapped up in them-an
i" By-and-By." We heard it as long
ago as we a remember, when we made
brief but perilous journeys from chair
to table, and from table to chair again.
We heard it the other day, when two
parted that had been Glowing in their
lives"-one to the shadow of Lone
Mountain, and the other to the gloom
of a desolate home. Everybody says it
some time OF another. The little boy
whispers it when he thinks of exchang-
ing the little stubbed boots for those of
the man. The man murmurs it-when,
in life's middle watch, he sees his plans
half finished, and his hopes, yet in the
bud, waving in the cold, late spring.
The old man says it-when he thinks of
putting off the mortal for the immortal
to-day for Tomorrow. The weary
watch for the morning, and while away
the dark hours with by-and-by."
Sometimes it sounds like a song, some
times there is a sigh or a sob in it.
What wouldn't the world give to find it
in almanacs-set down somewhere, no
matter if in the dead of December-to
| know hat it would surely come? But,
fairy-like as it is-fitting like a star.
beam owe the dewy shadows of years
nobody can spare it, and look upon the
MANY times these words have beguiled
MS, the memory of the silver "By-and'
By" as the sunrise of Ossian, pleasant
but mournful to the soul"

A Woman With a New Pair of Shoes

When a woman has a new pair of
shoes she performs altogether different
from a man. She never shoves her toes
into them and yanks and hauls until she
is red in the face and all out of breath
and then goes stamping and kicking
around, but pulls them on part way
carefully, witches them off again to take
a last look and see if she has got the right
one, pulls them on again, looks at them
dreamily, says they are just right, then
takes another look, stops suddenly to
smooth out a wrinkle, twists around and
surveys them sideways, exclaims:
"Mercy! how loose they are" looks at
them square in front, works her foot
around so they won't hurt her quite SO
much, takes them off. looks at the heel,
the toe, the bottom and the inside, puts
them on again, walks up and down the
room once or twice, remarks to her bet
price, tilts down the mirror to see how
they look, turns in every possible direc-
ton, and nearly d~islocates her neck try
ing to see how they look from that way,
backs of, steps up again, takes thirty or
forty farewell looks, says they make her
feet look awful big and never will do in
the world, puts them off and on three or
four times more, and asks her husband
what he thinks about it, and then pays
no attention to what he says, goes
through it all again and finally says she
will take them. It's a very simple mat
ter, indeed.

Spiders and Balloons.

The Rev. II. G. McCook, of Phila-
delphia, describing the ballooning habit,
or fight of spiders, says the spider seeks
a high position, as the top Of a fence
post, as the point of ascent. The abdo-
men is elevated to as nearly a right angle
with the thorax as may be; a pencil of
threads issues from the spinnerets, the
face being meanwhile turned to various
points until it looks in the direction OF
the wind. The legs are then stretched
upward, thus raising the body aloft, and
the insect gradually assumes a position
as if resisting some force from above.
Suddenly the right claws are Embossed,
the spider mounts with a sharp bound
and floats off, generally with the back
downward, but sometimes with the po-
sition reversed. At first the abdomen
seems to be in advance, but generally
the body is turned so that the head is in
front. The pencil of threads is caught
by the feet, and floats out in front.
Upon these threads the spider will climb
upward as though to adjust the center
of gravity. Meanwhile a pencil OF
threads floats out behind, leaving the
spider, to ride in the angle of the two,
or sometimes three pencils. The feet
seem to be united by delicate flaments,
which serve to increase the buoyancy
of the balloon. The insect is carried
forward by the wind, riding for long
distances in an open space, and often
high up upon ascending currents. Its
anchorage appears at times to be within
its W volitioD, by drawing in with the
claws the forward pencil and gathering
it in a white roll within the mandibles
but most frequently the progress of the
insect is stopped by some elevated OBJ
ject, or by the subsistence of the breeze

The NafionaI Scourse.

1t is estimated that the annual damages
caused by the ravages of insects and worms
exceed $50, 600, 900 in the United States
alone. Truly an enormous loss! Yet 1t sinks
into insignifcance when compared with
the ravages of that more terrible scourge,
Consumption, which annually sweeps
hundreds of thousands of human souls
into eternity. The causes of consumption
are various, depending in every instance for
the development of the disease upon the
scrofulous diathesis, or temperament, OF
the victim. Thus the same cause which
will produce in one person ar attack of
acute disease or a slight nervous prostra-
ton, will engender consumption in a per-
son of scrofulous habit. That consumption
can be cured by proper treatment will be
readily perceived when the exact nature OF
the disease is understood, viz: the accumu.
lation and deposition of scrufulous matter
(tubercles\ in the lungs. Obviously, the
principal remedies required are (1) a power
full alternative, or blood-purifer, to arrest
the ~accumulations and also cleanse the blood
of the scrofulous matter, and (2) a mild
cathartic to expel the diseased matter from
the system. This course of treatment, in
conjunction with a strict hygienic regime,
has proved the most successful method OF
curing this disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are the best alternative and catbartic
remedies before the public, and have been
alone used in thousands of cases OF con-
sumption with the most marked efficacy.
DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N.
Y, affords special and unequaled advan'
tages to consumptives, not only possessing
the best medical and hygienic means OF
treatment, but having the essential advan-
tage of being situated in a climate where
the inhabitants are notably free from this
disease.

Important Land Deci.ion

8 The Commissioner General of the Land
efiee has rendered his decision in the case
of the Southern Railroad Company of
California, involving an important question
as to the proper Interpretation of the act of
July 81, 1876, which requires land grant
companies before receiving patents to pay
costs of survey, selection and ~conveyancing,
and Commissioner Williamson holds that
this requirement was a new burden or con-
dition imposed upon the original grant, and
that, therefore, it is applicable only to
lands earned after the date of the new en-
actment, and not to any lands earned prior
to that date. He also holds incidentally that
this provision does not apply to any road in
regard to which Congress did. not reserve
the right to amend the original grant, and
also that it is not applicable to lands
granted to a State to use in its discretion for
the encouragement of the construction of
railroads.

The Woman in Red.

Soon after Lincoln's Inauguration in
1861, Paris was invaded by newly ap-
pointed ministers and consuls-Cassius
M. Clay, on his way to Russia; Mr..
Marsh bound for Italy; Anson Bur
lingame, waiting to see if Austria would
receive him, and one or two others, be-
sides Fremont, who was on a special
mission to purchase arms. Of evenings,
at the Hotel du Louvre, the fun was
" fast and furious" and all the stories
that had done duty on the stump during
the preceding campaign were told again
for the benefit of those who had spent
the summer of $50 abroad and missed it
all. "Burlingame," said a Kentuckian,
who happened to be Of the party, "tell
'em about sthe gal in red.'" Burlin.
game colored up, looked at Clay, and
seemed puzzled. "Tell it," said Clay,
it's out" And this was the story: At
one time several years before, Burlin.
game and Clay were stumping together
in the West. One evening they had re-
ceived a particularly warm welcome, and
had returned to the hotel, where they
were sitting in their room, smoking, and
congratulating each other on their sue.
cess. Suddenly strains of music were
heard outside. "They are serenading
us" said Clay; " open the window and
make 'em a speech" "No, you," said
Burlingame. But Clay persisted, so
B%urlingame stepped to the window,
opened it, and began, "Fellow-citizens,
I hardly know how to thank you for
this touching proof of your esteem and
regard. Mr.. Clay and myself are in
deed CRATE" just at this point a voice
in the crowd below was heard saying,
"Boys, that amt the gal in red. Let's
dustl" and they "~dusted," leaving the
laugh OF the twisting statesmen"
They swore each other to secrecy and
kept it quiet for some time, but it
leaked out somehow, and they had TO
make a clean breast of it.

THE patent almanacs, mortised for
the publishers name, have begun rain
ing down upon us for 1879. The de-
signs are all new, and very different
from those of last year, the picture of
the boy skating in his bare feet, with
one little brother on his back and six
more on his sled, being put on the JAN
uary instead of the December page;
then the picture of Christmas eve comes
along about the end of December, in
stead of the middle of August, as was
the case last year. In fact, the almanac
is entirely rearranged, the trunks have
been moved back, and the hats put out
by the door, and the ceiling painted, so
it looks just as good as new.-Burlngton

French and English Competition.
Mall Budget.

In 1874 a law was passed in France
somewhat like the English factory acts,
under the provisions of which no chill
dren under twelve years of age can be
employed in mills and workshops. This
law, however, is not very efficiently ad-
ministered, and is, indeed, little needed
by the manufacturers. The hours of
labor in England are ffty-six and one
half per week. against seyenty-two in
France. The French manufacturers
thus have an advantage of twenty-seven
and one-half per cent. without reckoning
the benefit they gain owing to holidays
being less numerous in France, and from
Sunday work. The wages of the work
people employed in the wooden manu-
factories in France are on the average at
least twenty-five per cent. lower than
those paid in the United Kingdom. 1t
will thus be seen that as regards the
relative cost of labor in the two coun-
tries the French have an advantage of
twenty-seven and one-half per cent. in
time worked, and twenty-five per cent.
in money paid for wages, or together
ffty-two and one-half per cent. But as
a larger number of hands is employed in
France than in England for a similar
amount of work, and as it is undeniable
that English work people as a rule can
produce more than the French, it is esti-
mated that these two advantages on the
part of British labor reduce the gain of
the French manufacturer in time and
wages by one-half, or, say, twenty-six
per cent. According to this estimate,
labor in France costs one-fourth less than
in England. The production of the cost
of labor to the cost of materials varies
considerably in different articles; but,
to show the effect of the additional cost
the English manufacturer has to bear, it
may be stated that if the total cost of
labor for producing an article of fabric
is one-fourth of the total cost, the
French manufacturer would gain six
and three-fourth per cent. if one-third
of the total cost, eight and one-third per
cent. and if one-half of the whole cost.
twelve and one-half per cent. The
French manufacturer can, therefore.
produce more cheaply than his English
competitor. 1t is generally admitted
that in many classes of goods the French
already excel us, and that the French
industry is yearly making more progress:
than the English. In France, too, strikes
in the wooden and other industries o.
this kind are almost unknown.

Heavy Los. by Flre.

At an early hour Saturday morning the
extensive establishment Of Christian
Klinck, located at the Stock-yards, near
East Buffalo, N. Y, was completely de-
stroyed by fire, involving a loss of 1926, 900.
The buildings consisted of an ice-house,
p~ork-packing department, store-house, two
slaughter-houses, smoke-house, ' engine
house, sheds, etc. They were of brick and
wood, and the main structure was three
stories in height. Owing to the inhammable
material, and the insufficient water supply
for that section of the city, the fremen
were only able to save the surrounding
property, and they were fortunate in pre-
venting the destruction of the s~tock-yards.
In the third story of the main building at
the time the fire wal discovered were about
one hundred and fifty live hogs. About fifty
escaped. A number were found roaming
about the streets crippled and burned.
The insurance aggregates $50, 999. $685.
600 being on the buildings, S44, 499.S 80 on the
stock and IS, 500 on the machinery.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of them.
Rich parents have petted them; they
have been taught to despise labor and
depend upon others for a living, and are
perfectly helpless. If misfortunes come
upon their friends, as it often does, their
case is hopeless. The most forlorn and
miserable women upon the earth are
among this class. 1t belongs to parents
to protect their daughters from this de.
plorable condition. They do them a
great wrong if they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught to earn hel
own living. The rich as well as the
poor require this training. The wheel
of fortune rolls swiftly round; the rich
are very likely to become poor, and the
poor rich. Still, to labor is no disadvan'
tage to the rich, and is indispensable tt
the poor. Well-to-do parents must edu
cate their children to work. No reform
ismore imperative than this.
