How the Farm was Bought.

A young man was very anxious to
secure piece of property which was
JUS. then for sale, on very advantage
Gus terms. lie went to confer with
friend of his who was banker, about
the matter, and to inquire whether il
would be prudent to borrow the requi-
site sum, and pay it in regular Install
ments. He thought he should be able
to manage all but the first installment.
He was advised 10 borrow from the
bank a sum enough larger than he
wished TO raise to cover the first pay
ment, lay it strictly aside, and then go
ahead.
"But," said his friend, "you must
spend literally nothing. You must
make box and drop in it all the mon-
ey you receive"
The young man and his wife went
bravely to work to follow this advice.
If il was necessary to dine off the head
of boiled cabbage and salt they did SO,
and never grumbled. Every payment
was promptly met. The egg money
and butter money, and the corn and
wheat money-all went into the pay.

siss's Temperance Huakleberry.

A temperance lecturer who has been
at work In the towns up the Hudson
has been giving a reporter of the Kings
town Courier page from his early ex-
perience in Michigan. Previous to his
arrival in q small town whei Q he intend
ed to do some work, the boys had agreed
among themselves to go to the meeting
but not 10 ssignsthe pledge. He appeal
ed in vain for recruits in the temperance
cause. Nota man would move. AT
this stage of the proceedings the belle of
the town sprang TO her feet and cried
o,lt; s'sBoys, this Is really too bad.
Won't you sign the pledge?" Not a
soul moved from his feet. Again the
fair belle appealed 10 The mems better
nature, but II was of no avail; they had
promised they wouldn't sign. Finally
The lady said; "Boys, I'll Kiss the first
man who signs the pledge" At this
juncture up jumped a tall backwoods.

Beer-Drinking.

DR.. Hargeaves says: at is great
mistake to think that malt LIQUORS are
less injurious than brandy or whiskey.
What malt liquors lack In alcoholic
strength is made up by drinking a lar
ger quantity. While the drinker would
he content with gill of spirits. he will
drink quart of ale or beer, and not
feel satisfied, and thus he will drink
more alcohol than If he had taken BRAN
dy or whiskey. Drunkenness by beer
is worse than by ardent spirits, and
there are more more malt liquor drunk
ards than whiskey drunkards.
There is another reason for hating
beer worse thnn whiskey, for upon
beer many drunkard has begun his
downward course. Beer is to our town
and city boys what cider is to the boys
in the country-the drink upon which
they began to tipple. Every mother
should make herself and her boys ao-
quainted with the nature and effects of
beer, for there is no greater assurance
Of safety, and no greater help in keep
ing the pledge than'a correct knowledge
of the matters, especially If based upon
a religious desire for purity OF sonl and
body.
Beer or ale is also the special lempta-
tation of women. They think it harm-
less, and do not mind sending it out for
it, or inviting friend to drink 1t with
them. Very often they can get 1t easily
at the grocery with household supplies
which they are ordering. The doc. !.
orders it frequently. A great many
women have learned that il makes them
feel rested when tired. Their nerves
are crying out for rest, and they pour
down the stupefying mixture of alcohol
and hops to poison them and shut their
mouths, instead of giving them the food
and rest they 80 much need. 0l

A Thought ON Future Retribution.

Whatever Henry Ward Beecher or
any one else may think, or theorize,
concerning the doctrine of future retri-
button, certain it is that nature is an
uncompRomising believer in its certain
ty andjastice. Do yourself the wilful
injury of violating the conditions OF
health, her retribution is sure and often
apparently far exceeding in proportion
the sin. Late hours, irregular meals,
overeating, excesses OF all kinds, are
followed by oliver complaint" dyspep-
sia, and sympathetic disorders of the
brain. In women the same excesses,
augmented by the wearing of tight or
insufficient clothing, the suspension of
heavy skirts from the hips, ETC., invar-
ably produce those weaknesses and dis
eases peculiar 10 the female sex. Re-
peated attacks of cold, due to exposure,
inevitably produce catarrh, and in
some cases consumption. The liberal
party have one argument in their favor
in the fact that DR.. Pierce's Family

dies for these retributive diseases. The
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, for the diseases O.
the stomach and liver, are unexcelled
while the Favoriie Prescription enjoys
the highest reputation of all remedies
for female diseases and weaknesses.

The Tailest.

They were sitting around the conven-
tional stove in the village tavern, tel
ling stories. The topic was horses.
After several inferior tales, Old Hobbs
began:
"My horse was worse than the worst
of defanlting Bank Presidents, for he
was such forger. Why, actually his
feet struck together so often that had
to carry bucket of water in the wagon
and stop every half mile and wet his
feet to cool them. Sometimes they
would be red hot"
Old Teller broke in:
"Oh, that's nothing, | once had q
horse, and he was such forger could
not take him out in Sleigh"
The old man here looked around to
see if any one would ask him the rea-
son of this, but they all looked as glum
as pail bearers, SO he continued:
"No, | would never take him out
sleighing, because such a shower OF
sparks were knocked from his shoes
that the snow and ice were melted
turned to mud-before the sleigh run,
ners reached it."

Another Deluge Coming.

A Belgian professor predicts another
deluge. At certain regular recurring
intervals, he maintains, the waters of
one hemisphere are suddenly precipitat-
ed across the equator, and flood the
other. The last of these deluges which
was that Of Noah's time, was from the
north. Hence the great preponder-
ance of heat in the southern hemi-
sphere, and of the general trend of the
continents. The next deluge will be
from south TO the north. The canse, he
argues, Is the alternate increase and de-
crease of the ice caps at the poles and
the consequent change of the earth's
equilibrium. Since l248 the south
pole has been continually enlarging
while the north pole has been proper.

eventually destroy the equilibrium and

PAPER FRICTION PULLEYs.-A cheap
form of friction pulley is now made by
cutting pieces of pasteboard into disks
OF the size of the required pulley, past
ing them heavily with hot glue and lay
ing one over the other til, the proper
thickness is obtained. The hole for the
shaft is cut in each piece before they are
glued together, and when the wheel has
been formed it may be pressed till the
glue is cold. The face of the pulley
may then be turned down smooth in q

rings or clamps may be fastened 10 the
sides. Such paper pulleys are said to

A Strange StOIY.

A well-dressed man of middle age,
registered at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey
City, AS "Stephen Longfellow, Cam
bridge, Mass.," on the 1lth, and said
that he was related to Longfellow, the
poet lie was accompanied by ayoung
lady of 20. The couple were married
at the hotel and in the marriage certi-
ficate the brides maiden name was writ
ten as Miss Anna Hennessey, of Char
lestown, Mass. The couple then went
to Philadelphia, where former wife of
LOngfellow's with her two children ap-
peared on the scene, The husband ac-
knowledged them and denied his Jer-
sey City marriage, and the young Char
lestown woman is now helpless and
alone in Philadelphia, regretting the
day she left home and agood situation
in Boston, The first wife is Kentucky
lady, considerably older than the other,
but bearing evidence of more gentle
breeding. Until she learned the fact
from the lips oil the first wife the Char
| lestewn woman says she never knew OF
Longfellow's former marriage. She
says she met him for the first time in
August last, while she was saleslady
in White Il Co.'S store, in Boston.
Mrs. Longfellow, No. ?, says that she
came to Philadelphia expecting to be
installed as mistress of a fine mansion
