Mr.. EDIToR. Having read in your paper re-

not cure me in thrce-fourths OF a second, nor
in one hour or month, but in less than eight
minutes was relieved, and in three months

And he clasps with rapture the evening star,
As they glide in his phantom boat.
The man in the moon has not wOUed in vain,
Lovely Venus is all his own;
They are sailing togcthcr-but look again:
She has left him-he drifts alone.
Like the earthly lovers who, stated, turn
From their idols, too lightly won,
Do his faithleBs lips already yearn
For the kiss of some warmer sun;
Or has she left hi IN and wandered away,
As maidens on earth sometimes do.
To seek more glorious mater Well-a-day,
Perchance they are both untrue.

False maidens will cry To their lovers: Away,

Duplication in Literature.

The phenomenal feature of the year 8
story-book business has been the over
running of the field of fiction by the
family-the alarming arrival of swarms
of relatives in the realms of romance.
No sooner had "Helen's Babies ap-
peared than Angeline's Babies, Betsey's s
Babies, Dicks Daughters, Tom Twins
and TimOthy's Triplets followed; on the
heels of my Awful Dad'' came Z" My
Horrid Sis" and My Melancholy Ma"
while to THAT Husband of Mine" sue
ceeded That Wife, Aunt, Mother-in-
Law, Observation-Disclosures, Cousin-Ger
man of Mine, Yours, His, Hers, Theirs,
Everybody's. Next week should we
have "Isn't He DreadfulP" the week
following would infallibly bring, as
companion books, 81 Think You're
Awful and "Too Splendid for Any
thing"
This immense overflow of mimetic
stuff was not plagiarism, but only the
swift duplication of literature possible
in our steam-press age; it was duplica-
ton and not duplicity, for nothing could
be franker than these limitations, each
pleading for success on the very score
of being A" in the same vein' with some-
thing preceding. There was palpably
small thirst of literary fame in these
outpourings, many of which were anony-
nous. GALAXY for January.

Ill.
1t was curious how often after this
Jim found it necessary to visit Boston.
There was always some "busineSs for
the firm which made it absolutely in
cumbent upon him to see Saxon Il
Co. And when he was there he fell in
the habit of sauntering down fremont
street about shopping hours. And from
there to Washington street, and into
Williams IL Everett's, or Childs Il
Jencks'. And not only there, but into
trimming stores, into jewelers. shops,
into fancy-gOOds stalls, into cars and
Omnibuses, and everywhere he caught
the glimpse of little figure with dark,
crimped hair tucked under a morsel of
lace and ribbon which ladies call bon
net. He passed the winter in this hunt.
1t was worse than the search for, scrip
that lucky and unlucky day when he
first met her; or, as Tom Saxon ieering-
ly said, it was like that ancient search
for needle in a hay-mow. Such
reputation as he got, too, for the most
impudent starer Boston ever saw!
Il think that New York friend of
yours is horrid, Tom," said not less
than six girls that winter to Tom Saxon.
"Horrid! hOwPh asked Tom.
why he follows you about and
stares sOT'
Tom looked at them. Every one had
dark hair, and every one had it crimped.
"He came into car where was, one
day." said one of these girls, Z" and just
took an inventory of my features; and
then, after tidgeting about two or three
minutes, he dashed out"
Tom gave such laugh at this that
the fair speaker looked at him in won
derment, and privately told an intimate
friend of hers afterward that she had
reason to think that Mr.. Mallory was
having Il very bad influence upon Tom
Saxon, for she had seen him :" when
well-when he seemed very unlike him
self, to say the least!'
If Tom could have heard this l think
he would have laughed still more. As
it was, his laugh was all at Jim Mallory;
and Jim himself, though quite i'm ear
nest in his QuiXotic search, saw the joke
as readily as Tom, and, with ineffable
bonhOnlie, enjoyed his own absurdty.
As say, he passed the winter in this
hunt, and by spring the excitement
seemed TO have subsidized, or at least TO
be externally overlaid by othef things.
Tom Saxon thought it had died out en-
tirely until one day, as he was strolling
across the Common, listening to some
business suggestions of Mallory, he saw
Jim give sudden start as little dark
lady passed, with her hair crepe and a
gay voice, chatting volubly to her COM
panion.
Jim, l thought you had dropped
that string"
Jim laughed, and sung, in low bari
tone:
Her bright smile hAunts me STILL"
And that was the last that Tom heard
of the subject until-well, we will no
anticipate.

Talmage on Smokers.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion of Brooklyn celebrated, last evening,
their twenty fifth anniversary at the Mu-
sic Hail. The Rev. Frederick Courtney,
of ST. Thomas, New York, urged the
young men Of the audience to be thor
ough in the work they were engaged in.
He did not think it was well to belong to
no particular denomination. He spoke
on the care of the body as well as of the
soul, and said: Take exercise, all of you,
especially such of you as are book-keep-
ers and employed indoors. Walk down
to the office in the morning, instead of
taking the cars, where you are crowded
and subject to the bad air. You will
then save more money--even by takin G
the horse-c cars in preference to the eleva-
ted road-to squander in that sink of
vice on the other side of the river. Be
moderate in all things; in drinking, in
eating, and in smoking. Smoking I do
not regard sin in fact, agree with
the Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon that cigar may
be smoked to the glory OF God" Mr..

Conscience Void of 0fense.

"Herein do exercise myself to have always
n conscience void of offence toward God and to-
ward men."-Acts xiv. lG.
What is conscience? The indicator Of
our doings; the tablet on which are writ
all our deeds, good and bad. We find q
good conscience spoken Of seven or eight
times in the New Testament. In this
portion of the Acts Paul speaks of "a
conscience void of offence toward God,
and toward men" Let US see if we can
understand what the apostle meant.
= The conscience that God has given US
is the guide of our lives when it is void
of offence" Paul meant that he always
acted SO that his conscience did not re-
proach him, and, more than that, SO that
his conscience approved Of what he did.
Void of offence, that which is often
sive, or might cause another to stumble.
He kept his conscience so pure and en-
lightened in regard to duty, that he act
ed in accordance to its dictates, and his
conduct was not displeasing to God nor
Injurious to men. Toward God, he
endeavored to discharge all the duties OF
public and private worship, did CONSTANT.

From the N. Y. independently
The Debtor Glass.

| The workingmen of this country are
urged to give their support to the theory
of the Greenbackers, because, if put into
practice, it will be a great help to the
debtor class. The implied assumption is
that these workingmen belong to this
class, and, hence, that greenback initiation
will be signal advantage to them.
The assumption is not true. The great
body of the working people are not in
debt to anybody. Large numbers of them
are too poor to be in debt. They have
not sufficient credit to contract debts
There is no class in the country 30 gem
orally free from debt as the workingmen
or that SO uniformly pay as they GO
They are not traders and do not buy in
large amounts; but pay down the cash
for what they purchase and consume
There is, moreover, no other class in the
country that, in proportion to their num-
ber, contains more creditors than the
workingmen. Their wages, though gem
orally paid to them at short intervals,
are not paid IN advance; and until they
are paid workingmen are creditors, hay
ing claims against their employers. Many
of them have the wisdom to save part
of their earnings; and thousands and
tens of thousands have this surplus on
depost in savings banks or in trust COM
panies, or invested in bank stock or the
bonds of the Government. Every such
workingman or workingwoman is a capi-
talist and a creditor, owing nothing, but
having debts due to him or her.
Not only is the premise from which
these paper infationists reason false but
the conclusion is equally false. There
can be no imitation of paper money with
out corresponding rise of prices, which
means that the same nominal amount Of
money will buy less than it did before.
1t is well-known fact that the increase
of wages will not correspond with the ad-
vance in the price of commodities, and
the consequence is that labor will always
lose in the degree of its purchasing pow
er. This is direct and positive loss to
the laborer. The sham dollars in which
he receives his wages will not buy as
much as genuine dollars. There is no
other class that suffer so severely from
irredeemable paper money as those who
work for wages; and when they are ask
ed to vote with the inhationists in order
to help the debtor class they are asked
to help class to which they do not be-
long, and to injure the class to which
they do belong. Their interests are best
served by having kind of money that is
stable in its value, and, hence, means the
same thing Saturday night that it does
Monday morning. This kind of money
is not the product of the paper-mill or
the printing press, but of mining and
coinage.

Worthy Words.

There is no burden that the Christian
can have but the Burden-bearer can ena.
BILE him to rise beneath it, and walk hap
PLY with God under it. A man who
takes the place which God puts him
in, and sticks to it and fights it through
and stands q man every inch, has await
ing him an estate of glory such as has
not been known in this world.
He who puts himself on the ground oil
moral principle, if the whole world be
against him, is mightier than all. Never
be afraid of being in the minorities
principle. The command is, Fight the
good fight of faith" And though there
are many warriors who enter into battle
with doubts and fears as to the issue OF
the conflict, it is not so among the sold
iers of the Lord Jesus Christ, who wage
the celestial warfare. Victory is declar-
ed before the combat commences, and as
sure as they shall be made more than
conquerors.'
A good conscience is better than two
witnesses. 1t melts sorrow as sun does
the ice. l is a spring when we are thirs-
ty, staff when we are faint, shelter
when the sun strikes US, a pillow in the
hour of death.
There is no greater mistake than to
suppose that Christians can impress the
world by agreeing with it. No! it is not
conformity that we want it is not being
able to beat the world in it's own way
but it is to stand apart from and above it,
and to produce the impression of a holy
and separate life; this only can give US
true Christian power Ex.

quently extends to the top Of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally a
considerable loss Of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation Of hay
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains Of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several Of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few Of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
