What think you would be the result II the
earth should stop spinning around the stunt
We're you ever near q large and intricate ma
chine when one of its wheels became cl0gged
or broken-near enough to hear the grating,
jarrfng clash, the sudden, deafening crasha
Astronomers assure us that precisely similar
effects, only on an inconceivablv grander
scale, would be produced if our earth-one of
the wheels in the universe-machine- should
suddenly cease its revolutions. In other words,
satellites, planets and systems. What we term
financial crises are due to similar causes One
of the wheels in the finance machine becomes
clogged, perhaps shattered The terrible
Wall-street "crash'' which follows is COM
municated to every part of the financial mech
anism of the country. But analogies do not
stop here. There is that other mechanism, the
most intricate of all-sometimes called an Or
ganism because 1t generates its own forces
the human machine. When one of its men,
beers fails to perform its office, the whole sys-
tenn is thrown into disorder. Members before
considered unassailable, break down under the
unnatural pressure. The shock comes, and
utter prostration is the result. ReparatiOn can
only be effected by the restoration of the inn
paired parts and the readiustment of its lev
ers-the physical forces. There is one part of
the machine more liable to disorder than any
other-thc liver-the great balance-wheel Of
the machine.
The liver being the great dcpurating or
blood-cleansing organ of the system, set IT at
work and the foul corruptions which gender
in the blood, and rot out, as 1t were. the ma
chinery of life, are gradually expelled from
the system. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, used daily, and DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, taken in
very small doses, arc pre- emfnently the arti-
cles needed. They cure every kind of humor,
from the worst scrofula to the common pim-
pie, blotch or eruption. Great, eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty curative indu-
ence. Virulent blood poisous that lurk in the
system are by them robbed of their terrors,
and by their persevering and somewhat pro
tracted use the most tainted systems may be
completely renovated and built up anew. En-
larged glands, tumors and sws;;iDgs dwindle
away ana disappear under the influence OF
these great reSolvents.

came and told me he was missing.
Nobody knew when. or how, or why,
he had departed. Evidently, he had
stolen off in the night, not wishing to
speak of his plans, if he had any, for
we learned on inquiry that he had even
omitted to settle with his too-indulgent
landlady. But in his composing-stick,
lying upon his case, he had left q line
of type, which spelled these words:
"Gonc West, to grow up with the
country"
l never saw him any more, and never
heard from him until 1 CHANGED one day
upon fugitive notice of his death. He
was discovered, the paper said, frozen
stiff and stark, in the February snow
and ice of Minnesota prairie. Very
oddly, it was young lady who found
him-s0me accidental Isabel, perhaps
and they took him into the nearest
town on q wood-sled, the Coroner and a
few others, and then, suppose, they
dug a hole for him in the numb earth
and put him away.
Alas, you poor, queer. dead-and-
gone prodigal, where be your gibos
now? Was it fate, or but your own
folly. that beckoned you to an end SO
pitifully desolate? Did you meet death
as you had confronted life, with that
unflinching eye and that placid, master
full smile? And did they find, Won
der, in some whimsical recess of your
ragged garments, poverty-stricken
old leather pocket-book, and little
sprig of faded cedar?
Here l might stop, content to let
silence do the rest. But, recalling his
injunction to 50 chuck in little Shake
speare," and remembering, also, his
skepticism and his waywardness, /
deem it only meet and fair to add in
his behalf that carefully charitable pc
tition which the great monarch of
thought puts into the Kings mouth at
the death-bed of Beaufort:

CUkE FOR CHRONIC RHEUMATISM
DIR. Bennett, of Graulbet, France, rec
ommends and prescribes for chronic
rheumatism the use of the essential oil
of turpentine by friction. He used it
himself with perfect success, having al
most instantaneously got rid of rheu-
matte pains in both knees and in the
left shoulder.
PROF. SILLIMAN has stated that
"lightning-rods cannot be relied upon
unless they reach the earth, where it is
permanently wet, even in times of the
severest drought, and the best security
is offered by carrying the rod, or some
good metallic conductor, which is duly
connected with it to the water in the
well, or to some other body of water
that never fails"
Nuns PUFFs.-One pint of sweet
milk, six ounces of flour. four eggs, half
a salt-spOon of salt. Scald the milk
and pour it over the flour; beat it until
it is smooth; whisk the eggs to froth
and add them to the flour and milk
when sufficiently cool; stir in the salt.

A DOZEN years ago a father and his
son-in-law made a partial payment on
q seventy-five-acre farm in Niagara
County, New York, the price of which
was SIG per acre. At the end of nine
years the debt was extinguished, two
families having meanwhile had good
support. They then bought seventy
five acres more at the same price. Part
of the crop of 1877 was 1000 bushels OF
winter wheat from twenty-six acres.
The Chatham, Courier mentions, as a
prominent cause of their success, that
"they have not sold a pound of hay OF
straw; all of it has been converted into
manure and taken back to the land"

Covered Barnyards.

IHE Old-fashlOned way of storing
stable manure in a cellar under the
barn is gradually going out of use
among the farmers who are up to the
times. A covered barnyard, which
may be called one of the farmer
"modern improvements" is found to
be much better. A correspondent of
the CultiUGtor and Country Gentleman
writes on this subject as follows:
''It can be shown in a few words
that for ordinary farmers cellar to
hold the accommodating manure of a
year, or even six months, is an imprac-
ticability. Let anyone estimate the
quantity of manure from six horses and
twenty-five to. forty cattle, and see how
large cellar it will take. 1t cannot
be less in area than the barn itself, nor
can it well be larger; and it will have
to be of considerable depth, and SO sit
uated that cart can be driven in to
remove the contents. This is, in fact,
to add another story to the building,
and use the first for this purpose. This
involves board floors in the stables and
several other items of heavy expense.
For town livery stables, where the ma
NAV In OOAhH OOlSlAudlly oOlN Iuu IT,
moved, and space is very valuable, it
may do; but even here it cannot be the
best arrangement to have a fermenting
mass directly under the whole of the
stable. On small truck, farmer may
put it where he can clean it out as often
as desirable.
''The only argument for this cellar is
that it will keep its contents dry and
save waste; and this can be done as
well, and in much more practical
manner, by making the barnyard the
receptacle for all the manure, and then
roof this completely over and allow
cows or cattle the range of it the most
of the time. There is three-fold adj
vantage in these covered yards. l. tits
impossible to keep yard in decent Or
der in wet weather, especially in early
spring, or fit to be occupied by dairy
cattle, at least, when it is exposed to
all the storms; and roof is cheaper in
the end than litter. 2. The cattle
themselves will appreciate the benefit
of the shelter, and pay for it in content
cd looks, as well as in the more SUBJ
stantial results of the pail. In this sort
of yard, with water always at hand,
they are not disposed to be uneasy
1t is the greatest cruelty and waste to
keep cattle UP in warm stalls, and then
turn them out in all sorts of weather,
to wade through mud or snow or walk
on trcacherous ice for 100 yards or
more, to fill themselves over-full of
water once day. 3. Manure kept un-
der cover from cold rains will decom-
pose much faster than that exposed,
and is in much better condition for
handling and is worth much more when
it is applied. Straw will remain a
whole year in wet yard, and yet seem
as strong as when first put in. Where
room is of value, the consolidation of
the manure pile by the constant pres
sure of the hoof is also an item. A
yard under cover, where cattle are fed,
can be traversed by man at any time
without danger of offense.''
