The Rutland, VT, Herald says: IAN
eminent legal luminary, WHO is also an
intermittent preacher, spoke recently in
his argument of the time when Noah
and his ark rested on Mount Siani,' q
speech that indicated how man may be
an earnest and able theologian without
knowing much about the chronology of
the Scriptures or the geography of Pales-
tine.

If there is no law for their protection
is it no. time for the farmers to take the
law into their own hands, and for their
own protection administer such effec-
tual punishment to tramps who are burn
ing their barns and stacks, and poisoning
their cattle, that when once chastised they
went do so any more.

My references to expenditure
Ofdollars-e'en of dimes

The hardness OF the times. Nv
And yet, in spite of his complaints,
When it is Cousin Flo,

With sardonic grin,

A fiendish thought was in that wife's

And she smiled as if in glee,
AS they brought her there all that was

"These diamond earrings" said her lord.

"Diamonds," said she, care worn no more

Grants friend Childs, of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, says that the General has
given him to understand that he does not
desire to be President again, because he
is tired of public life and desires to settle
down again into the seclusion Of private
citizenship, and Childs thinks that if the
politicians try to nominate him he will
give them notice that they must seek
somebody else.

A growing flower was given to n sick
girl. In trying to take care Of il the
family made changes IN their way 81
living. First they cleaned window
that more light might come to its leaves;
then they would open the window that
more air might help the plant to grow.
Next the clean window made the rest Of
the room look SO nntidy that they used
to wash the floors and walls and arrange
the furniture more neatly, This led the
father Of the family to mend broken
chair or two, which kept him Mt home
several evenings. After the work was
done he stayed 1t home instead ofspend-
ing his leisure hours ut the tavern, and
the money thus saved went to buy COM
forts for them ALL Az the home grew
attractive the whole family loved it bet
ter than ever before, and grew healthier
and happier with their flowers. Thusa
little plant brought blessing.

Promising Children.

The question il often pcrtlncnlly
asked, What becomes fall the promis-
ing children n but il il seldom That il
satisfactory answer is forthcoming. II
does appear strange that so many boys
and girls who astonisl us by their bright
sayings, by their cnrIy proficiency, BY
their acute perceptions, and even ny
their profoundly Of thought, should
grow mp into very ordinary men and
women, distinguished for nothing in
particular, and certainly fulfilling none
ofthe promises which their early youth
so splcndidly afforded OF course no
single cause is sufficient to explain this
phenomenon, but among those which
combine to produce il, none il more
conducive than the general lack VI
power to render the faculties obedient
10 the will. When this power is feeble
the most brilliant parts, the most fertile
imagination, the most keen perceptions,
the creates, fluency Of language, will
not save their possessor from finally
sinking into insigniiicance. For u time
these qualities will sparkle on the sur
face and dazzle many eyes. In child
hood, especially, where we do not ex-
pect any grcatstrength Of will or power
OF concentration, we are strongly at
tracted by the marks OF what we fondly
call genius, and look forward with happy
assurance 10 the time when they will de-
vclop into manly and wolnanly superior
ity. But when life's exigencies arrive.
and the demand is made for accurate
knowledge, sound judgment, and
steady purpose, these hopes are often
sadly disappointed; the lustre which
illuminated childhood has faded, and
the power which should support man
hood does not take its place.

Good Grit.

AT the commencement Of the present
term Of the medical college, n young
student from the west started for Keo-
kuk &c attend. Arriving at Abba he
found his means would not be sufficient
and he footed 1t the rest Of the way to
this city He paid in full for his tuition,
and then he had just 81 left. Three Of
these We're laid out for quarters rent
for room in Wh;c!. was nothing but
his books. NJ bucket, no stove. no
furniture, no bed not even Il blanket.
and only 81 to live oil. In u month or
50 he procured Il blanket, and consider
ed himself fortunate. His money was
laid ont ii corn meal, and twice week
he would 90 down to the pork house.
and make up Il lot Of corn bread, bake
il, and bring il 70 his room, and on corn
bread alone lie las been subsisting
during the entire term.
He has worked and earned s. since
lie has been here, and on this and the
seven he had left, after paying his col
lege fees, Sl2 i'll all, he has subsisted.
During all TINS time no one has known
how ne sub.isted. and the only remark
able thing that has been noticed about
him Is, that lie Is one Of the brightest
students in the class, ami bids fair to
graduate With the highest honors. His
condition would not have been found out
had il not been that gentleman rented
room in the same building in which
the Students was located. and BY max
ing ms acquaintance, ascertained how
he had been living.
The student il bright. frank, fear
less fellow, who asks no fayors, has
paid in advance for everything he has
got, is not afraid Of difficulties, and if ne
proves not bright and shining light
in his professional he il not heard
from as an eminent physician and sur
geon, ere many years roll around, we
lose our guess.

Signs Of Returning Prosperity.
New York Graphic.

New YORK Graphic.
There are not wanting indications OF
real revival of prosperity;
/. The revival of foreign immgrat
ton. Fer the first time III five or nix
years the tide of foreign immigration
hats set in toward this port. This is I'M
mnmistakabc sign Of prosperity,
. The undcr-currcnt OF the stock
exchange is buoyant. No bear move
ment has been successful since the pas
sage ofthc silver bill Every downward
movement has been almost instantly
followed by an upward movement.
3. Misunderstanding has been re-
sumcd, moro especially in the FIR West.
This, Of course, has already reacted on
the iron industries Of Pennsylvania; and
the increased activity there will, in time,
produce an increased activity in the
New England mills.
f. The prosperity Of the far West is
phenomenal. Nothing similar has
been known heretofore The harycsts
promise great abundance, and the tide
Of settlement is flowing in rapidly. New
lands are being brought under cultva-
ton, feeders to the great trunk line Of
railroad are being constructed, and the
demand for manufactured products is
sure 70 DO large.
;. Our foreign commerce is steadily
increasing. This is another excellent
condition Of returning prosperity.
Since the passage Of the silver bill
there has been steady improvement.
If nothing untoward now occurs, the
country is sure TO attain . stable basis
Of assured prosperity in the near fu-
ture

Myths arc but symbols of Truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but beauti-
full mythologies the ancents, the embodied
expression of the hungry human soul, blind
ly cropping after the Infinite, so the physi-
can sees in that popular myth of the six
teenth century the fountain Of perpetual
health and youth-an expression ofthe long
ings or suffering humanity for q remedy
that should forever prevent the incursion of
disease. The wilds Of Europe were ransack-
ed for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de
Leon sought for it in the cypress-swamps
and tangled everglades ofour sunny Florida.
Men have searched for it everywhere and
anywhere but where it really is--in the hu-
man body itself The blood is the real foun-
tain of perpetual health and youth. When
this source is corrupted, the painful and
sorrow-producing effects are visible in many
shapes The multifarious forms in which It
maniiests itself would form subjects upon
which l might write volumes. But as all
the varied forms of disease which depend
upon bad blood are cured, or best treated
by such medicines as take up from this fluid
and excrete from the system the noXious
elements, it is not of practical importance
that should describe each. For instance,
medical authors describe about fifty varieties
of skin disease, but as they all require for
hlltli Nult NItdNluGlllg IL le Vi no
practical utility to know just what name to
apply to o certain form Of skin disease, so
you know how best to cure it. Then again,
might 60 on and describe various kinds of
scrotulous sores; fever sores, white swellings,
enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying ap-
pearance; might describe how vrulent poi
son may show itself in various forms oferup-
ton, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors, etc. /;
but as all these various-appearing maniies-
tations of bad blood are cured by uniform
means, deem such a course Unnecessary.
Thorougly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain of life, and good digestion, a
fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and
soundness of constitutions wiH all return to
us. For this purpose Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgatiye Pellets are
re-eminently the articles needed. They
are warranted to cure tetier, salt-rheum,
scald head, st. Anthony's fire, rose rash or
erysipelas,, ring-worms, pimples, blotches,
spots, eruptions, pustules, boils, carbuncles,
sore eyes, rough skin, scurf, scrofulous sores
and swellings, fever sores, white swellings,
tumors, old sores or. swellings, affections OF
the skin, throat and bones, and ulcers of the
liver, stomach, kidneys, and lungs.
