OVER THE DESTROYER.

1t is one thing for man to wage a
doubtful battle all through life with
deadly appetite in his bosom; it is quite
another thing to obtain complete and
lasting victory. In letter, contained
in '.Moody's Talks on Temperance" we
have the experience of an army officer,
who served with distinction in Mexico,
and in the late war; He had lost all
his positions of trust and honor, and had
been slave to the cup for twenty-five
years, but was saved in the Boston Tab
ernacle. This is his letter, somewhat
condensed:
IL had almost abandoned every ti0;;see
of reformation, and was fast haster az
toward drunkard's grave. when the
Tabernacle was erected. | became
much interested in the meetings, es-
pecially the Friday noon temperance
meetings, when | heard the testimony of
reformed men, and saw there undisput-
ed evidences of Gods wonderful power
to save to the uttermost the most de-
graded and fallen. abhorred myself
for what had done in the past and
with true repentance and humility of
heart and spirit went to God with all
my trouble in earnest prayer. God
heard me, sinner as [ was. The answer
came. for | was healed of the terrible
disease of intemperance, and my iniqui-
ties were forgiven.
l have felt unmistakable evidence Of
this fact, for from the moment | gave
my heart to God, and believed in him,
to this present moment, as | write thess
words, have never for single instant
had the slightest desire for intoxicants
or even stimulants of any name or ma
ture, and as far as such desire is con
cerned, do not feel as if ever poss
essed it.
l am frequently asked if | think
shall hold out. l answer that do no
think anything about it, for / hav,
given myself to God, and dedicated thu

only cling to Him. | know He is abb
to keep me from falling, for he He ha
said: For | the Lord thy God will
hold thy right hand, saying unto thee
Fear not, will help thee | have n
confidence in my own strength, but d
/ have entire and perfect faith in God
/ willingness and ability to save"
: To the question, "Has God entirel
4 taken away the appetite for stron
: drink ?" this gentleman says:
e THAT whether God has removed
= from me, or whether it is covered U
{ under the new and loftier though
n that have sprung to life within me, {

HONOR IN HIS OWN LAND.

Says Comley in his recently-issued
work, The History of New York State,
''The day has passed when the benefac-
tors of humanity were allowed to live in
ignominious poverty-their sacrifices,
their labors. unrecompensed. To day,
the benefactors of the people-the men
who devote their lives and energies to
the interests of humanity-these are the
men whom the world delights to honor,
and whom it rewards with princely
fortunes. As an earnest worker for the
welfare of his fellow-men, DIR. r. V.
Pierce has won their warmest sympathy
and esteem. While seeking to be their
servant only. he has become a prince
among them. Yet the immense fortune
lavished upon him by generous people
he boards not, but invests in the erec-
ton and establishment of institutions
directly contributive to the public good.

al patronage, new meaning of that
beautiful Oriental custom of casting
bread upon the waters. Noted in both
public and private life for his unswerv-
ing integrity and all those sterling vir-
tues that ennoble manhood. DIR. Pierce
ranks high among those few men, whose
names the Empire State is justly proud
to inscribe upon her roll Of honor. Am
bitlous, yet moved by an ambition strict
ly amendable to the most discriminating
and we'll balanced judgment, his future
career promises to be one of unparalleled
activity and usefulness, ably supple
mentIng the work he has already ac-
complished, by life at once noble in
effort, enviable IN its grand results. y
While Dr. Pierce's genius and energy
have won for him SO enviable position
on the records of nation, having been
elected Senator by an overwhelming
majority, his justly celebrated House
hold Remedies have gained for him a
yet more desirable place in the hearts
of grateful people. His Golden Medi-

DRAINING LAND.

Upon this subject OR Home Journal
says:-Clay soils cannot produce to the
full extent of their ability unless under
drained. The ordinary routine opera
tion of blowing has tendency to form
compacted strata Immediately below
the cultivated or plowed portion, which
acts as basin in the retention of water
prevents the heat of the sun from warm
ing the soil until the water has been
removed by evaporation, which produces
cold SO that in addition to the imprac-
ticability of early spring cropping of
such soils, every summer shower cools
the earth surrounding the roots of the
growing plants, which thus sustain a
series of checks in their progress to ma
turity.
These evils are removed by draining,
even the strongest clays are more or
less permeated by veins of sand or gray
ell, sometimes by layer of vegetable
matter which has collected in crack or
assure but SO long as there is no outlet
beneath these conducting veins they are
inert, but when underlaid with drains
their action is at once apparent; the
sub-soil that previously held water like
basin now transmits like filter, and
as the water sinks the air follows; the
rain descends freely through the soil,
carrying to the roots the nutritive ele-
ment with which it is charged the alb
sorbing property is increased, it holds
more moisture in suspension and crops
remain luxurient even in season of
drought, and superfuous water being
removed from below, the heat of the sun
is economical in warming the soil, in
stead of being expended in the evapora-
ton of surface water.
Briefly it may be stated that some of
the advantages of undertaking consist
in the removal of stagnant water from
the surface, and excess of moisture from
heavy rains; the temperature of the soil
is increased, which allows early plant
ing of crops, and hastens their maturity
it equalizes the temperature of the soil
during the growing season; it equalizes
the moisture of the soil, SO that crops
are in a great measure exempt from the
evils resulting from excess of rainfall
on the one hand, or from deficiency Of
rainfall on the other the roots of plants
are supplied with soluble food carried
down by rains, as well as that which is
rendered available by the decomposine
influences of air and moisture on the
surrounding soil, and on such manures
as are applied for additional fertiliza
ton; the land is more economically
worked, and cultivation suffers less in
terruption at all seasons, and as con
sequence crops are increased to theil
maximum production, at least so far a,
they are dependent upon the physica
condition of the soil, factor of eoua
Importance with that of its chemica
constitution.

of hSs X
slant and permanent relief No matter of how long
standing or how severe the disease, the first dose
gives such evidence of its value in the treatment of
Catarrhal affections that confidence is at once felt
in its ability to do all that is claimed for it. The
testimony of physicians, druggists and patients is
unanimous on this point, and the accommodating
evidence is in point of responsibility superior to
any ever before obtained in favor of popular
remedy. The proprietors, therefore, may justly
feel proud of the position this remedy has attained
and believe it worthy of its reputation.
