Whnt is the RihIe Liza

It is like a large, beautiful tree, which
bears sweet fruit for those who are hun
CRY, and affords shelter and shade fo1
pilgrims on their way to the kingdom of
heaven.
1t is like a cabinet of jewels and pre-
cioUs stones, which are not only to be
looked at and admired, but used and
worn.
It is like a telescope, that brings dis
tant objects and far off things of the
world very near, so that We can see
something Of their beauty and impor-
tance
1t is like a treasure-house, a store
house, for all sorts of valuable and useful
things, and which are to be had without
money and without price.
1t is like a deep, broad, calm-fowing
river, the banks of which are green and
fowery, where birds sing and lambs play,
and dear little children are loving and
happy.

new Use FOR Sour MnK.-A new in-
dustTy has been started in Mansfield,
Mass. It is no less than the manufacture
of jeWelry out Of sour milk. This seems
a strange anomaly, but it is fact. The
milk comes in the shape Of curd, from
butter and Cheese-making counties in
New York, and looks, upon its arrival,
a good deal like popped corn; but before
it leaves the shopit Undergoes a wonder

The New Orleans Times SAYS that
hundreds of hands are needed in the
South to gather the cotton crop,
which is probably the largest ever
grown. The crop must be gathered
soon in order to save it, and the
railroads are called upon to furnish
cheap transportation to the many
idle men in the North, who would
gladly go South to obtain two or
three months employment, as soon
as the yellow fevsr has entirely dis
appeared.

Benefits of Farinaceous
Diet.

New York Times: Liebig's theory
that liquor drinking is not compati.
bic with farinaceous diet seems to
have been coTObOrated by an Eng
Hsh scientific man, who has been
trying the experiment on twenty.
seven liquor drinking persons. A
striking instance Of reform was
shown in the case of a man of sixtv.
who had been Incorporate for thirty
five years, and was in the habit of
taking a spree about once a week.
His constitution was so shattered
that he had great difficulty in OBJ
talnlng insurance on his life, After
an attaet Of delirium tremens, which
nearly proved fatal, he was induced
to live upon farinaceous food, which
in seven months entirely removed
his desire for liquor, and he became
perfectly sober. He lost flesh at the
beginning Of the experiment, but re-
gained it after two or three months.
Among the articles of food mention
ed as especially antagonistic to alco-
hOl are lentils, dried beans, haricot
beans, and macaroni, all of which
should be well boiled and seasoned
with plenty Of butter or olive oil
Ordinary garden vegetables are said
to be provocative of Temperance, but
much less than farinaceous diet.
The carbOnaceOus starch contained
In macarOni, beans and oil seems to
render unnecessary, and therefore,
repulsive, the carbon resident in al
cohoL This remedy is so very sim
pie that it ought to be tested by
men who have so often. tried to
break themselves ofintemperate hab-
its. Drinking to excess is unques
tiOnably a curse in every American
city, and farinaceous food has never
hurt anybody. Whatever harm it
does to alcohol is clear gain.

THE OLD PAIR OF GIOvEs-There is a
great field of reflection in even such a
trifie as a pair of old gloves. We turned
up, by accident, the other day, a white
pair, well soiled, that had seen much ser
vice IN our younger days; and, oh! how
they spoke to us through our memory
of scenes long past, but still touching in
their "reminiscences! There they were,
all torn and shrivelled up, but how very
elegant in their minuteness. What
dances had they not gone through ?
dances now forgotten, not only in figure
but almost by name. What gentle fin
gers had they not pressed ?-some now
in the grave, and some playing the curls
OftheIr grandchildren. What waists had
they not affectionately clasped while the
pulse leaped madly at the glorious priv
that, at this moment, two
pair of arms would scarcely be able to EN-
brace. Well, we'll! every age has its own
follies AID enjOyments, and pair Of old
gloves is an excellent teacher Of that
moral lesson.

Lunatlcs and crimInaIs.

The Western Christian Advocate
notes the fact that an effort is being
made in the British Parliament
to treat and put under restraints
habitual drunkards as insane per

ing liquors under restraints as crimi-
mails. And let all the people say,
Amen!

The complete list of awards at the
Paris Exposition, as published ly
the New York Tribune, makes a very
favorable showing for American Man
uactures. In agricultural implements
we take all the highest prizes, all the
second and the majority of the third.
In machinery, scales, instruments
of precision, beer, and TarIor organs
werank first. In books we take three
of the five pies; in gold work, street
cars, printing presses, sewing ma
chimes, canned goods, the highest hon
ors. Considering the dilatory, mig
gardly action of Congress in making
arrangements for an American dis
play, the result is far more favorable
than could Lave been anticipated.

OLD DRYAsDUsT.-Magliabechi, the Gel
ebrated librarian OF Florence, lived, ate,
drank and slept among his books; he
lived in the most sequestered and philO-
sOphical manner, scarcely ever leaving
the city. His house was but one cOntin-
ued pile of books; his lower rooms were
crowded with them, not only along the
WainsCOt, bnt in piles to a considerable
hight, and so spread on the floor that
there was not the least place for sitting
down, much less for walking, except a
long narrow passage leading from one
room to the other. The porch of this
house was, in the same manner, every
where stuffed with books, as far as tn
projecting awning would secure them
from the rain. The staircase was lined
all the way up with library furniture, as
were all the upper rooms. MagIiabechi
generally shut himself up all the day,
and opened his doors in the evening to
the men of letters who came to converse
with him. He was negligent in his per-
son, and was usually dressed in black,
with a waist coat reaching to mis- knees.
His cloak, which was also black, served
him for morning gown in the day, and
for bed-clOthes at night; it was generally
much patched, in consequence of the
holes he burnt in it. He wore a large
hat and Florentine band round his
neck. On one arm he carried pan, in
which was a constant fire for warming
his hands, and his clothes bore evidence.
of their often being too nearly connect
ed with it. His linen he usually wore
until it fell to pieces. He always slept
on his books; bound volumes served him
for a mattress, those in boards fora pill
low, and he covered himself with such
as were merely stitched, throwing his
cloak over all. His sole diet was eggs,
bread and water The Grand Duke of
Florence, Cosmo II, to whom Magliabe-
chi was librarian, once prevailed on him
to take up his residence in the ducal pal
ace; but he quilted it four months after
ward, and returned TO his own house;
indeed, though he rarely stirred out, YET
he had such an aversion to everything
that looked Ike restraint, that the Grand
Duke dispensed with his personal attend
ance, and always sent him his orders in
writing.

LOvELINBss-What constitutes true
loveliness? Not the polished brow, the
gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of
fashionable life. A woman may have all
the outward marks of beauty, and yet
not possess lovely character. 1t is the
benevolent disposition, the kind acts,
and the Christian department. It is in
the heart, where meekness, truth, affec-
ton, humility are found, where we look
for Ioveliness; nor do we look in vain.
The woman who can soothe the aching
heart, smooth the wrinkled brow, allie
viate the anguish of the mind, and pour
the balm of consolation in the wounded
breast, possesses, in an eminent degree,
true lOYelincss Of character.

In Hart county, KY, man 10y the
name of William Bowman, was thrown
away in the Apalache mountains, North
Carolina, when an infant, and was found
by an old bear and adopted rs a cub.
At the age of ten years he was captured,
tied hand and foot, and then his captOrs
found out that he could not talk, nor
could he be persuaded to take any food
but milk, which he sucked from a bottle,
showing that he lived solely by the nurs-
ing of the beaT. Bowman is now far
mer near Omega, and any one doubling
the truth of this statement can have it
verified by seeing him.

what persons and things he has chosen

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several .assimilativc organs of the
body, and are so composed that obSlruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baficd the lest OF
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best phy>ic for children. BY
their apcricnt action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of The blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug. these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
