Don't Feel Worried.

Young man, don't feel worried because the world does not appreciate your tal- ents. Be sure that you have the tal- ents, and then, sooner or later, some one will find it out. A golden guinea was once buried in an ash heap, and it mourned it's forlorn condition. It said despondingly,l "I shall never come to anything. Nobody knows I am here, and shall never occupy the position I deserve. By and by, however, poor old woman drove her iron poker down into the heap, looking only for bits of coal, and saw the coin. She took 1t in her hand, trembling at her good fortune. Even she knew it's worth. She spent 1t, and ere long it took it's place by the side of the other golden coins of commerce, and at last passed even throu 5h royal hands, Nobody asked where it came from, and even if they had been told that for months it was buried in aa old ash heap they would not have cared. The fact that it was genuine gold was enough. Get ready for something great, and the something great will sooner o1 later find you out, for in the long run We reap what we sow. Oh wonderful truth A truth hard to learn in the days of our youth But 1t shines out at last as the -hand on the waIp

A Wife's Holy Sacrifice.

Bishop Peck, of the Methodist Epis- 'copal Church, during recent visit to 8 hygienic institution in Boston, related, in conversation in the reception-room, the following touching incident of his own life. He said that when it became probable that he would be made bishop his wife, one of the loveliest of women and delicate invalid, came to him and demonstrated /: ''I need you. Your strength is not equal to the burdens. cannot spare my husband. Others can do the work of the churches" But he replied that he did not feel at liberty to decline. When he went to conference, and saw how affairs were tending, he wrote to his wife, saying that they must both pray over the subject, and receive the decision of the conference as the decision of the Lord. This," re- marked the Bishop, "is the only serious letter ever wrote my wife, to which she never replied" When he was elected, and husband and wife met, she fell at his feet and buried her face in her hands, exclaiming; ''It is not right. I can. not endure it. I cannot give up my husband" After time she looked ur and said "Go, and take care of the churches, and the Lord will take care oi me; but you are no longer my husband You are my sacrifice"

Losing His Money.

Once ih a while lnah is fotind who distfuBts savings banks and safe deposit Companies; and Institutions that take moRey on investment who thrusts his savings into old stockings or trunks, gets it out and counts it before he goes to bed, worries about it by day and dreams about it by night. Such man MT. King of Vesey street, New York, seems to be, says local paper. He had thirty thousand dollars iti an old satthel which he ioeked in g siiiail room in the top of his house. The money was fin gersd over daily to see whether 1t was all there. When it came time to go through with that operation on Saturday night the satchel was missing. Thieves hao crawled through the skylight and ha made off with the cash that was to make MT. King happy in his old age. Many persons will say that the shrewdnesi required to save s ihhch honey as MT KiHg lost, should have taught him how to keep it in safety. Yet MT. King hat previously tried the savings bank ex pertinent to his sorrow.

Good to Take Any Time.

The following letter was written near ly twenty-five years ago by one of the wealthiest and most respected of the merchants of Boston to the young men in his employ. The advice he gives in his letter is simply the example of his own life: "I.wish you to get from 0. F. Hovey $ Co.,, two thousand dollars and charge the same to my account This money I wish you to dispose of inn mediately, as follows: Divide it among those who have been with us since Aug. 1st, 1858, and who you still continue in your employ. Let the dividend be in proportion to the salaries they received between August 1st, 1853, and February 1st, 1854. I send this money to those persons, because if they have been faith ful, feel it is doing them no more than justice. If there are any among them who have not been faithful so much the worse for them. If they will allow a person much older than themselves, and one who has probably had more expe- rience, to give them g word of advice the time may come when they will feel it was worth receiving and paying atten- tion to but I must say I have very lit tie faith that they will follow my advice. In the first place, then, in the language of John Randolph, would say,
 Pay as yo1 go.
 Then I would say to them, do your own thinking on all subjects and save the priests, doctors of divinity, generals, judges, lawyers, doctors and statesmen the trouble of thinking for you, which they are always ready to do. I assure you that great people whom I have named above are only Gas the French. man said) Grand p0rce Q,1e 'sou, sonanoes e genou, which may be trans lated thus: The great only appear great to us because we are on our knees. should add, however, that grand II French means tall as well as great. Af ter thinking freely for yourself at al times dare to say what you think, how ever unpopular your thoughts may be and remember dead fish can swin down stream, but it takes live one t. swim up. I remain yours truly,

A Kindly Way.

The late MT. George s. Appleton, the publisher, was not only an excellent man of business, but gentleman of culture, especially as linguist, and possessed exceptionally fine taste in works of art. He was very just man in reference to his employees. and mindful of the inter- est and comfort of those who served the house faithfully. "You earned more last year than your salary your salary will be increased next year, and you will find an extra amount to your credit for last year, is the sort of talk that some of the persons in his employ will re- member to have listened to; and when, perhaps, they were feeling just little tired from overwork, it would not have been strange if they had heard h1m say, in his bluff, hearty way, "Go off, take a vacation, take your wife along; I'll pay the expenses, and get some one to do your work while you are away" Few men were more uniformly guided by a high sense of integrity than Mr. Apple ton, and his death removes from the publishing guild one of it's most intelli- gent and esteemed members.

The Liberia EmigratiOn.

MT. Williams. who accompanied the Azor's shipload of South Carolina ne- groes to Liberia, is unwilling to take the responsibility of advising the col ored people of the United States to emi- grate. It is d magnificent country, and money is to be made there but the risks of fever and disease are great, and the climate is enervating. Thrift, pa- tience and good management are essen- tial to success. No emigrant should land at Monrovia without six months stock of provisions, supply of simple medicines, little ready money, and all the bright calicoes, brass trinkets, mo- tons and leaf tobacco he can lay hls hands on. Salt is always valuable too. In the interior the natives lick visitors hands for the salty taste of the perspira- ton. Those who have from $20O to $500 over their passage-money will have a much better chance of becoming inde- pendent in Liberia than in America but those who expect to find there a heaven on earth, where they will not have to work, and who are unprovided with means, will soon become disheart- ened. and be anxious to return to the United States.

prompted to this by foolish or false pride, or shame, and in that case when their means are exhausted and minds impaired by troubles, they are in state unftted for usefulness or honest employ ment. The result is, that they must either starve to death, of become out laws, or trafnps of the worst type, unless taken care of by public institutions or authorities"
 "You think the community ought to take care of the tramps?"
 In prisons, some; in almshouses, a few; but by giving the strong and will ling chance with work. The charity that will do the tramp the most good is that which will give him chance to prove himself capable and not neeessa- rily dishonest.
 At this moment policeman, who had observed the tramp and reporter loiter- ing too long in one spot, came forward and closed the conversation, broke of the thread of philosophy and put both in motion in opposite directions by g peremptory order:

A Singular Suicide.

To shoot oneself with turpentine is certainly new idea in suicide. Theo- dore Reisner took dinner with his fami- ly in Rochester last Saturday, and then went into the front room of the house. In few moments his wife heard a noise like the explosion of a cap. She went into the room and found her husband lying on the floor with gun close by, from the muzzle of which smoke was rising An examination led to the be- lief that the gun had been charged with powder and wad and quantity of tur- pentine then poured into the barrel, af- ter which the unfortunate man placed the muzzle in his mouth and exploded the powder, driving the whole charge down his throat. The only external in- jury visible was a slight discoloration on the upper lip, but his tongue and lar ynx were frightfully lacerated. It was not strikingly successful operation, for he did not die until five hours after the turpentine was fired.

Fattening Poultry by Machinery.

While in the French Department of Agriculture I was much interested in an exhibit for fattening poultry by ma chinery. The hens and cocks were ar ranged in little stalls about ten inches square, with their heads toward the open front and their feet haltered to the floor in q way to prevent their turning round. The attendant passed in front of the stalls, seized the unhappy bird by the nape of the neck, inserted 8 tube, to which was attached long hose, into it's mouth, pressed upon Q pedal with her foot, and graduated quantity of food was forced into the stomach of the bird. They took their nourishment very much as a boy would take medicine. The food is composed of ground mixture of corn, rye, barley, milk, and water; and while it may not accord with the Ameri- can idea of chicken rights to make 8 rooster eat whether he wants to or not, it cannot be denied that this regimen makes him much more desirable to be eaten. I have nowhere else tasted such sweet, juicy chicken as they have here. About the morality of this system there may also be some question, and l doubt if it could obtain in a country blessed with Bergh.
 It certainly divests chicken life of much of Its romance. They must de vote their lives exclusively to the igno- ble, unheroic business of getting fat. No growing, and cackling, and nest hid ing in out of the way places in barns, or matching, or scratching for the early worm in gardens, or on ancestral dung hills for them. Indeed, these people, who 1t is said have no word for home, have done much to divest the lives oi chickens of hallowed and home-like as sociations. They are matched in steam incubators and the velvety little birds I never know the sheltering arms of the old hen, but are protected in flannel lined drawers. .- Cor. Rochester Express

Comfarr far unensx stomnchs.

That ineoniparable anti-dyspeptic cordial, aeh Bitters, yields comfort to the uneasy stom- ach with degree of promptitude most grati- flying to the victim of Indigestion. The eradi- cation of dyspepsia by the Bitters is, of course accom- panied by the disappearance of every among which may be mentioned as the most prominent, heartburn, fatul ulence, abdominal oppression after eating, and sinking at other times, palpitations of the heart, water brash vertigo, sick headache and nausea. Hostel ter's Bittefs t6ne and regulate the various or gans which assist in the processes of assimila ton, secretion and evacuation, fortify the system against malarious levers, and develop in the enfeebled system fresh stores of vitality In efficacy, as in popularity, they surpass any tonic or regulating medicine of the age.
