Cough.

The other day l had an attack of neu-
ralgia in the face; it was as if fingers
of fire were feeling for every nerve, and
it was SO agonizing at times that just
grasped the side Of my face with clench-
ed hands and cried out. A gentleman
said to me, "WOuld you take table,
spoonful of brandy if you knew it
would relieve you of that pain 7"
was not long in saying, "No." You
NAV call that extra fanaticism, but l
would not take a spoonful of brandy to
save my life. You may say that is sui

The Power of Song.

In one of the hospitals of Edinburgh,
lay a wounded Scottish soldier. The
surgeons had done all they could for
him. He had been told that he must
die. He had contempt for death, and
prided himself on his fearlessness in
facing it. r I'd
A rough and wicked life, with none
but evil associates, had bluuted his SEN
sibilities, and made profanity and scorn
his second nature. To hear him speak
one would have thought he had no pi-
ously-nurtured childhood to remember
and that he had never looked upon re-
ligion but to dispise it. But it was not
so.
A noble and gentle-hearted man, came
to see the dying soldier. He addressed
him with kind inquiries, talked to him
tenderly of the life beyond death, and
offered spiritual counsel. But the sick
man paid him no attention or respect
He bluntly told him that he did moi
want any religious conversation.
"You will let me pray with you, will
you mott" said the man at length. 90.

The Liquor Interests in Politics.

Deep anxiety concerning the cOndi-
ton and future prospects of the coun-
try have taken possession of the most
thoughtful minds. In the May number
of the Golden Rule, Mr.. A. d. Gushing
dwells upon the fact, to which we be-
lieve Joseph Cook was the first to call
attention in an address made ten years
ago before a Massachusetts Temperance
Society, that the last half century in
America has greatly changed the rela-
tive populations of city and country !;
that cities have become greater and
towns relatively less. 1t is also affirm
ed that political power has changed
more than population; that in our
chief cities "the liquor traffic can defeat
any party or candidate that opposes it y
and that "the power to defeat is the
power to CONTROL Referring to the
political methods which obtain it cities,
it is declared that "vOtes are not often
bought with money, but money is often
placed i'll the hands of agents to be
used at their discretion. Liquor deal
ers are the best agents, not because
they are more willing or more wicked
but because they are more able to dc
the work. They know their men bet
ter, can reach them easier, can buy
them cheaper. They do not buy witt
money. They pocket the money, anG
buy with whiskey, lager, and the othel
influences of their occupation"

Michigan papers put the yield of
wheat in that State this year at thirty
million bushels. The Minnesota crop
is reckoned at forty-twOa millions, the
largest the State ever had; and Wis
consin and Iowa have also immense
harvests.
The young lady who was elected
State Librarian of Indiana has gone
and-got married, and the whole State is
in tumult in consequence. 1t is de-
clared that she cannot be both wife and
librarian, and she is asked to resign.
This she declines to do.

strings of hair.-Burlington Clipper.

KEEP ON SMOKING AND SEE WHAT
You WILL COME TO PREsENTLY.-A
certain doctor, struck with the large
number of boys under fifteen years of
age whom he observed smoking, was
led to inquire into the effect the habit
had upon the general health. He took
for this purpose thirty eight boys, aged
from nine to fifteen, and carefully ex-
amined them. In twenty-seven of them
he discovered injurious traces of the
habit. In twenty-five there were va
rious disorders of the circulation, and
digestion, palpitation of the heart, and
more or less marked taste for strong
drink. In twelve there was frequent
bleeding of the nose, ten had disturbed
sleep, and twelve had slight alterations
of the mucous membrane of the mouth,
which disappeared on ceasing from the
use of tobacco for some days. The
doctor treated them all for weakness,
but with little effect until the smoking
was discontinued, when health and
strength were soon restored. Now, this
is no ''old wife's tale" as these facts are
given on the authority of the British
Medical Journal.

u A good lesson to girls who be-
iieve that comparative stranger will
be better friend to them than their
own parents, may be learned from a
case which recently occurred in Glovers-
vile, New York. William Sawyer
eloped with young girl named Maggie
Haggert, aged fifteen, short time ago,
and the two were chased twenty four
hours by her father and an officer,
whom they eluded, and were married.
Last Saturday the bride was sentenced
to the Western House of Refuge by a
Utica magistrate, on the complaint of
her husband that she was a vagrant,
having no means of support ! That's
the kind of pay woman generally gets
for deserving her friends for a stranger.

One of the attaches of the Lake
George house had a row the other night,
it is said, with man of 60, or therea-
bout. Having observed his devotion
to a woman much younger than him
self, the clerk imagined an intrigue to
be going on under the roof and accOsted
him very rudely, intimating that such
proceedings were not allowed there.
The man of 60 flew into a passion !;
threatened to chastise the impudent
fellow, and made grand scene. The
sequel proved that he was the woman's
husband, and had been for over 10
years. The clerk humbly apologized ;
he expressed his profound regret, but
added that his mistake was natural
enough. Asked afterward to explain,
he said he had noticed that the patron
of the house had, while sitting on the
piazza. in the evenings, repeatedly put
his arm around his feminine companion,
bent down and kissed her warmly and
in his clerical judgment that was not
the way husbands were in the habit OF
treating their own wives. He had been
in hotels for years, but he had never
before seen anything of that sort occur
between married folks. Moral-If you
wish to preserve reputation for virtue
never show fOndness for your wife in
public.-From Lake George Letter.

1t is a very common practice to eat
light breakfasts, and to partake OF a
hearty supper. This practice should
be reversed. When people sup late, it
should be lightly, but the breakfast
should be solid and nutritious. If one
eats light supper, retires to bed early,
and rises betimes, he will rarely want
for an appetite for breakfast.
