A ToUCHING 1NCIDENT.-Not many
years since certain miners, working far
underground, came upon the body of
d poor fellow who had persisted in the
suffocatingR pit forty years before.
Some chemical agent to which the body
had been subjected agent prepared
in the laboratory of nature-had effec-
tually arrested the progress of decay.
They brought it up to the surface, and
for awhile, till thoroughly exposed to
the atmosphere, it lay-the image of a
fine, sturdy young man. No convul-
sions had passed over his face in death
the features were tranquil; the hair
black as Jet. No one recognized the
face d generation had grown MP since
the miner went down into the. pit for
the last time, But tottering old wo-
man who hurried from her cottage on
hearing the news, came up, and she
knew again the face which through all
these long years she had not forgotten.
The miner was to have been her hus-7
band ON the day after that on which he
had died. There were no dry eyes
when the grey headed old pilgrim cast.
herself upon the youthful corpse and
poured into the deaf ear many words
of endearmant unused for forty years.
1t was a touching contrast the one so
old. this other so young. They had
both been young these long years ago,
but time had gone on with the living
and stood still with the dead.

The noble army of tramps has set it
self against labor-saving machinery, and
seeks its destruction, in some parts of
the West. Idiots they are. Machinery
does not throw men out of employment:
it always creates demand for more
men, and raises the price of labor. And
tramps are enemies of labor, manual or
mechanical. We need a machine to
make them work, and if Mr.. Edison will
invent it, he will do more than he has
ever yet attempted.

To KEEP FURs IN SUMMER.-Furs or
woolens may be kept safely from moths
during the summer by brushing thor
oughly, SO as to eradicate all the moth
eggs; then wrap them up in newspaper
SO that every part is covered entirely.
This is unfailing if the clothes or furs
be we'll brushed beforehand. Some
think gum camphor put with them is
desirable, but | have used only the
newspaper, and never had any trouble
unless the moths were there wher
wrapped up in it.

To CURE GARGET IN Cows.-Give
the cow hydriodate of potash, ten grains,
in tablespoonful of water, three times
day, in bran or shorts. and if the COW
is afterward troubled occasionally with
the garget. give it to her once or twice
a week, or oftener if necessary. A cor
respondent of the PLOuglman says: 81
have used it for thirty years, and it has
never failed me once where the COW had
proper care before and after giving the
medicine. If the udder is badly swol-
len and infamed. it should be bathed
in as warm water as you can bear your
hands in, and no meal be given while

What a Snlendid Complextou

That young lady who moves through
the merry crowd has most splendid
complexion. And why? She is in TO-
bust health. See her when disease comes
and robs her of her color. Now she is
an invalid. Some trifing irregularity
or exposure has brought on sickness and
nature grows weak. The use of the Pc
ruvian Syrup will restore health and
those ruddy cheeks. Health may be re-
stored and with it beauty and grace.
This syrup is natures great means of
vitalization. 1t Injuries none and bene-
fits all who use it. 1t has relieved and
cured where all others have failed. 1t
renews the spirits of the respondent,
sends new life bounding through the
veins. and is, without doubt, the most
successful preparation ever offered to the
public. All druggists sell it.

The usual number of accidents by the
use of firearms on the 4th of July ought
to be an additional warning on the SUBJ
ject. Nothing will induce the average
small boy to dispense with gunpowder if
he can get it for his patriotic demonstra-
lions, but there is reason in all things,
and moderate amount of sense should
be enough to induce parents to prevent
their children from killing their neigh
bors. More persons were killed on July
4th last in this country, than any battle
of the Revolutionary war.

1t is not luck but labor that makes
men. "Luck," says an able writer, sis
ever waiting for something to turn up !;
labor, with keen eye and strong will, al
ways turns up something. Luck lies in
bed and wishes the postman would bring
him news of a legacy; labor turns out
at six, and with busy pen or ringing
hammer lays the foundation of a compel
ance. Luck whines; labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance; labor on charac-
ter. Luck slips downward to self indul-
gence; Labor strikes boldly upward, and
aspires to independence.
