Tho Cr1Rna,

What think you would be the result II the
earth should stop spinning around the sunl
Were you ever near large and intricate ma
chine when one of its wheels became clogged
or broken-near CROUCH to hear the grating,
jarring clash the sudden, deafening crash!
Astronomers assure us that precisely similar
effects, only on an incOnceivablv grander
scale, would be produced il our earth-one OF
the wheels in the universe rse-machine-should
suddenly cease its revolutions. In other words,
there would be general clash and crash of
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 MEM
bers fails to perform its Office, the whole sys-
TEN 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-the lyer-the great balance wheel of
the machine.
The liver being the great depurating or
blood-cleansing organ of the system, set IL at
work and the foul corruptions which gender
in the blood, and rot out, as it were. the ma
chinery of life, are gradually expelled from
the system. For this purpose DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, used daily, and DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, taken in
very small doses, are pre-eminently the arti-
eles needed. They cure every kind of humor,
from the worst serOfula to the common pim-
pie, blotch or eruption. Great, eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty curative infu-
ence. Virulent blood poisons 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 swellings dwindle
away and disappear under the influence of
these great resOlVents.

COUNTRY GIRLS.
Up early in the morning,
Just at the peep of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away
Sweeping the floor of the kitchen,
Making the beds upstairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
Dusting the parlor chairs.
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting for eggs in the barn,
Cleaning the turnips for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn
Spreading the whitening linen,
Down on the bushes below,
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red Strawberries grow.
Starching the " "fixingsn for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the pals and strainer
Down in the running stream
Feeding the geese and turkeys,
Making the pumpkin pies,
jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion.
Music in every tone,
Beauty in form and feature,
Thousands might coyet to own.
Cheeks that rival spring roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls;
One of these country maids is worth
A score Of your city girls.

the terrible scourge seems TO spread

more and more fatal, it is refreshing

We cordially endorse tie sentiment

reason why there should not be a

not one which involves extraordinary

emolumen,s. Ii is at most but COM

John Kslley's Defeat.

AS is known to most of our readers
by this time, the combination that
gave Col. John p. st. john as STAN
dard bearer, had the effect to defeat
Sedgwick county's candidate for
Lieut.. Governor. Had Col. Martin
won, or had combination been made
in any other way than in the direction
that it was made, Hon. John Kelly
would have went in with whirl. The
whole southwest stood by him until
Mr.. Kelly saw that both he and Mr..
Humphry would pc defeated unless he
gave way, which he magnanimously
did. So much for the fortunes of war
Kelly and the Sedgwick county dele
CATION returned smiling and laughing
and, judging by appearances, as happy
and interested as the nominees. Mr..
