A Philadelphia clergyman mourns the
loss of wife among a thousand for COM
mon sense. On her death-bed she said
to him: "Don't grow morbid when 1 am
gone. Go into society, be cheerful, and
let no regard for my memory check you
when you see fit to marry again. It is
my wish the children must be cared for
you will need a helper in your work.
You cannot live alone, your temperament
is all against it; only choose a cheerful
woman, and teach her to love our child
ren. Don't answer me, and don't be
governed by what the world says Or
thinks.-M Y Graphic.

A Job Lot.

A young girl, about as pretty as they
grow 'em, recently went into Cedar
Rapids music store and asked the clerk,
inquiringly, if he had "a Heart that
Loves Me Only?"
"No," he said, "but here's A health
to Thee, Mary"
That wouldn't do, but before she turned
to go she asked;
Have you 'One Sweet Kiss Before
We Part?'
That Cedar Rapids clerk looked up and
down the store; the book-keeper was out,
the boss was upstairs trying to sell a
granger a wheezy old melodeon, and so he
leaned over the counter and turned out
about half dozen of the best and most
artistically finished articles that the aston
ished young lady had ever seen offered in
job lot.
She didn't say much, but she went out
of the store in step and half, and
rubbed her cheeks thoughtfully all the
way home.

THE HOME SEMINARY.-The fire
side is a seminary of infinite Importance,
because it is universal, and because the
education it bestows, being woven in with
the woof of childhood, gives form and
color to the whole texture of life.

PRACTICAL MAXIMs. Nobody is ever
so happy or unhappy as he imagines.
1t is less painful to learn in youth than
to be ignorant in old age.
Our passions are the only orators who
are certain to persuade us.
Though charity may make your purse
some lighter one day, yet it viii make it
heavier another.
Those who blow the Goals of others
strife may chance to have the sparks fly
in their own faces.
Through the eye beauty comes in and
grief drops out. Thank God for tears
and pity him who cannot weep.
Men do not have their own choice as
to whether they will have life or not,
but they can choose how they can live.
Through woe we are taugh ht to reflect,
and we gather honey of the worldly, wis
dom not through flowers but thorns.
A teacher who is attempting to teach
without inspiring the pupil with desire
to learn, is hammering on cold iron.
How HE GOT HIS CAPITAL,-The
late Wesley Harper, of Harper, &
Brothers, began business on capital
secured for him by the prudence of his
father. About the time when james and
John Harper set up for themselves, a
younger brother, W'sley, also wished to
become printer. The father removed
from Newton to N. Y, so his sons might
have home with him, and Wesley was
set to work in the Office of his brothers,
at first as a compositOr, then as a proof
reader. All the time the father charged
him for board, to the boys surprise, for
his father had no special need of the
money. Soon after arriving of age, the
reason OF this apparent harshness appears.
u think you should go into business
soon, said the father; the money you
have been paying us for your board for
SIX years has been saved you. 1t is your
capital to start with" With this money
Wesley Harper bought into the firm, be-
coming an equal partner.

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathaTtic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill a day, they stimulate
the digestive orgaps and promote Wig
OrOuS health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs Of the body, and are so
composed that obstructiops within
their range can rarely Withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill, While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they grippe 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
calomsl nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugarscoating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Dickens wrote, "There is nothing, no
nothing, beautiful and good that dies and
is forgotten. An infant, prattling child,
dying in its cradle, will live again in the
better thoughts of those who love it, and
play its part, though its body be burned
to ashes or drowned in the deepest sea.
There is not an angel added to the host
of Heaven but does its blessed work on
earth in those that loved it here. Dead.
Oh, if the good deeds of human creatures
could be traced to their source, how beau
tiful could even death appearl for how
much charity and purified affection would
be seen to have their growth in dusty
yrayes."

"WHAT FATHER TAKES" There
is food for thought in the story that is
told of young lad who, for the first time,
accompanied his father to public dinner.
The waiter asked him, "What will you
take to drink ?" Hesitating for a mo-
ment, he replied, "I'll take what father
takes" The answer reached his fathers
ear, and instantly the full responsibility
of his position flashed upon HIM Quicker
than lightning, various thoughts passed
through his mind, and in a moment his
decision was made; and to the astonish-
mn f those who were acquainted with
hr, .ie said, "Waiter, I'll take water"

The GrOcer's Gift to his Preacher.

A ACovington, Kentucky, correspondent
tells this:
A country merchant visited the city
a few days ago, and, going to Cincinnati,
purchased, from a dollar store, a table
castor, which he took home with him,
and, after putting tag on it marked,
$14, made it a present to Methodist
preacher, whose church his family at
tended. The reverend gentleman took
the package home, opened it, and ex-
amined the contents. The next day he
brought the castor with tag attached)
back to the grOceryman, and said to him (;
Il am too poor in this worlds goods to
afford to display so valuable castor on
my table, and, if you have no objection,
I would like to return it and take $14
worth of groceries for my family in its
stead The merchan could do nothing
but aequiesce, but fancy his feelings.

AN ECONOMICAL PAIR.-The old
gentleman went into the parlor, the other
night, at the witching hour of 11:45, and
found the lights out, and his daughter
and dear friend occupying tete-a-tete
in a corner by the window. "Evangeline," "
the old man said sternly, "this is scanda-
lous." "Yes, papa" she answered
sweetly, " it is candless because times are
so hard, and light costs so much, that
Ferdinand and 1 said we would try and
get along with the starlight" And papa
turned about in speechless amazement,
and tried to walk out of the room through
a panel in the wall paper.

VERY MATTER-oF-FACT- There was
once clergyman so rigidly and frigidly
literal and matter of fact that he was
wholly incapable of entertaining or com.
pretending a metaphor of any kind
whatever. He believed to his dying day
that Shakspeare's mind was overstrained
and confused by too intense application
when he wrote that there be
Sermons in stones,
Books in the running brooks,
And good in everything; ;"
and contended that it was perfectly plain
that what he meant to say was that there
be
Sermons in books
Stones in the running brooks

The people along the Mississippi are in
earnest about the improvement OF that great
waterway; and there has been meeting at
Memphis to consider plans for getting rid of
the surplus water Of the river and recovering
great tracts of lowlands. Capt. Cowdon ap-
peared before the meeting and submitted his
scheme for making artificial outlets to relieve
the long channels which have been gradually
built out into the Gulf by the action of the
river itself. Such a method of dealing with
the Mississippi would be effective in getting
rid of its ilood-water, but it would counterfeit
the project of Eads for concentrating the cur
rent and making it clear a good channel: The
proposed convention to consider the Missis-
sippi problem should be held, and the best en-
gneers, scientists and merchants of the
country should attend it,
So says the New York World. We exactly
agree with the World The proposed conven
ton will meet in New Orleans next Decem.

sented, even to its minutest details, so that al

Conklng Is plainly working himself up to
an issue. Day by day the Utica Herald his
organ, Is growing more savage on Hayes. Its
last utterance Is just q touch more sarcastic
than the Immediately preceding observation.
In its last Mondays edition the Herald cul-
inmates some sixteen vigorous and separate
observations with the following:
Hayes lacks the force of character, Il he
does not lack the impulse, to do right; From
the beginning he has played the part OF the
coward and traitor. His conduct has natural
ly driven from him good men and drawn to
him the evil, who designedly use, him as
tool. He is weak and vain enough to receive
their flattery, and brave and wicked enough
| to carry out their wishes as far as he dare.
| His bravest act has been that OF coward.
and his designing adherents3 are not shallow
| quality. They goaded him to the suspension
Of Arthur and Cornell, against whom ON nothing
thize with Hayes personal aspirations.
It is evident that there is denouement

perform the disputed work he would have
been guilty Of q gross violation of his duty
under the law, and that he is SO entirely
