General Trade.

The weather has cleared up and
affords much satisfaction to all classes
of business men as the immense vol
ina Of trade is greatly clogged when
ever mud or slop interferes with it.
For several days past the cotton mar.
ket has been fat and sales reduced in
consequence. This is expected to be
merely temporary, however. The
Aush stage of the rivers from Cairo
north and also in the side streams of
the south has done much toward i'm
proving the business situation. Re-
eeipts of produce, feed and other
articles of trade have been limited
Tor several days, prices in this market
being too low for c~onsiguoes to make
free shipments. The steamer Millar
from the Ohio brought about zoo SKIS

WARNER'S
SAFE
Kidney and Liver
CURE.
Another Proof that
Bright's Disease In its
worst form is curabIe.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Nov. q, 1879,
Messrs. H. H. WARNER & Co.,
Rochester, n. Y.
Gents: From my own sense Of duty,
and upon the advice Of friends l have
concluded to offer you q testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for lBright's Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffaloi
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego,H ornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard Of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make a trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable TODD anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged US to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, | came
to your office for that purpose. l took
home two bottles Of your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
it to her according to directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
ton she acquired control of her urinary
functions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
Bdilbu LulilCCh pOuilun III duOuL JuTtb
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space Of
seven weeks, become fully cured of what
was regarded a hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. l wish 1 could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as l can not in this letter, that I
know Brights disease of the worst type
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and L
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's life and health Is due TO the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,
Mrs. NJ. j. CRANE,
No. 4 Edinburgh st.
Being the subject of the above testimo-
NAL, l desire to testify to the truth of its
statements, and express my gratitude to
whom it may be due for recovery from
this terrible affection, and to recommend
similar sufferers to make use Of the same
remedy that l did.

bible can the word penknife be found /?
Mathematical questions: lst What is
a third and haLfa third of 5? When
you have figured out this simple ques-
tion, be surprised at the amount of fg-
nring it has taken, when the answer
ought to have come to the mind Instant
ly.
I'd. Two partners engage in business.
A. has 5000; B. has So. 900, but prom
ises to pay A. six per cent. interest on
that part of the capital necessary to
make an equal investment. At the end
of the year they sell their whole partner
ship assets for $4,000. What sum
should each receive?
Sd. A gentleman went to a shop with
certain amount of money and spent
five dollars less than half of it; he then
went to another shop with the remainder
and spent five dollars more than half Of
it he then went to the third shop with
what still remained, and spent an

DRESS NEATLY FOR THE CHILDREN's
SAKE.-Growing children are very crit
ical of mothers appearance. little as
they say about it. Nobody likes better
than they to see her look pretty for the
children's sake it is worth while to bur-
nish up the old jewelry you allow to
lie idle in its locked-up box. 1t is worth
while to spend an afternoon fixing up a
box full of ruffies and collars, which are
so easily manufactured out of odds and
ends you allow to be wasted, and then
do them up in the neatest manner.
When your hardest work is over and
the dinner dishes fairly cleared away,
treat yourself to a fresh dress with a
neat collar or ruche, and your best pin
at the throat. A knot of bright ribbon
gives an added charm, and will please
the children as we'll as yourself. A
wide, clean apron will protect your dress
when you 60 about your supper, and
can be laid off when you sit down to
tea. Boys will not stay about the house
very much at evening if mother sits
down at night in her soiled morning
gown, with her hair rough and untidy.
A fretting. complaining way is very apt
to go along with that style. and there
is hardly anything besides intemperance
that can make a home seem more un-
pleasant.

THE SAUCY ROGUE.

There is saucy rogue, well known
To youth and gray-beard. maid and crone-
A boy, with eyes that mirth bespeak,
With curly locks and dlmpled cheek;
He has a sly demurish air,
But. maiden fair
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you unawarel
With bow and arrows in his hand
He wanders up and down the land;
'Tis jolly sport to aim dart
At some pour maiden's fluttering heart;
She wonders what has hurt her there.
All, maiden fair,
Take care, take care!
His dart may wound you, unawarel
Her nimble hands the dlstaff ply;
A gallant soldier-lad rides by;
He gives her such loving glance
Her heart stands still, as in trance,
And death-pale sinks the maiden fair.
Quick, mother there,
Give heed, take care,
Else you may lose her, unawarel
Who stands there laughing at the door?
That rogue, who triumphs thus once morel
Both lad and maiden he has hit,
And laughs as though his sides would spit.
And so he sports him everywhere;
Now here. now there;
He mocks your care;
You fall his victim, unaware.
Now who so masterful and brave
To catch and hold this saucy knave?
Whoever binds him strong and fast,
His name and deed shall always last.
But, If this dangerous task you care,
Beware take care
Lest i'll you farel
The rogue may catch you, unawareI =

MARCH.

The stormy March has come at last,
With wind, and cloud, and changing skies;
] hear the rushing Of the blast,
That through the sunny valley flies.
All, passing few are they who speak.
Wild, stormy month in praise of thee;
Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Though art welcome month to me.
For thou to northern lands, again
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle twain,
And wear'st the gentle name of spring.
And, in thy reign of blast and storm,
Smiles many long. bright sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue Of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills,
From winters durance just let free,
And brightly leaping down the hills.
Begin their journey 10 the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
OF wintry storms the sullen threat;
But in thy stearnest frown abides
A look Of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft time of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom on earth that lies,
Seem of a brighter world than ours.

AROUND THE WORLD IN AN OPEN
BoAT.-Lewis G. Goldsmith, Danish
sailor, about forty years of age, who
served in the Union army and navy in
the Rebellion. proposes to sail across the
Atlantic from Boston next summer, ac-
companied by his wife, in boat l8 IL
feet long, on trip around the world.
He will 60 to Copenhagen, Norway,
Sweden, by the North Sea to Scotland,
by the Mediterranean to Alexandria,
through the Suez Canal to Alden, across
the Indian Ocean to India, through the
Straits of Malacca, thence northward
to Singapore, Hong Kong and Yeddo,
and finally across the Pacific to San
Francisco, which he expects to make in
the fall of 1881. The boat, which is
now being built. is Is IL feet long. six
feet beam, with three feet depth of hold,
built of oak and hard pine planking. 1t
is so constructed as to be boat within
a boat, having nine alr-tight compart-
ments or chambers on each side, which
will float the craft even if the boat ships
a sea and is filled with water.

is Bromley's Cathedral, on the left Pull
pit Rock, which overIooks the Weber
valley, through which flows clear
mountain stream. Near this, away up
the rocky perpendicular side. is pro-
lection, called Hanging Rock. You
soon come to the Thousand Mile Tree"
a mountain pine which stands alone on
the bank of the Weber, near the road,
spreading its green branches, from one
of which hangs a sign that tells you the
distance you have travelled from Omaha.
AS you pass down the valley, so closely
hemmed in on either side by these gi-
gantic walls. perhaps the thought will
enter your mind, How are we to get
out? But wait moment and one of the
grandest sights presents itself to view.
A little below Patterson Station (Which
is sixteen miles from thousand mile
tree) Devils Gate Mountains raises its
head. A huge gap IN the mountain
opens before you. It is "Devil's Gap
with '.Devil's Gate If the scenes of
Echo were grand, this is the grandest of
all. You have now passed the Wasatch
range of mountains, its towering peaks
at the right as you leave their base and
get out on the plains. You are soon at
Ogden, the terminus or western end Of
the Union Pacific railroad, near the
Mormon centre, in the valley of the
Great Salt Lake, and there I leave you.

THINGS IN CoMMoN.-There are usu.
ally twelve ribs in the human body,
though sometimes eleven or thirteen.
The skull consists of eight bones, four
at the top and four in pairs at the sides.
There are three kinds of teeth, the in
cisors, the tearing and the grinders, and
in many the three kinds are opposite to
each other, above and below. The num-
Der of teeth at maturity is thirty-two
or sixteen on each jaw. The perspira-
ton of man in health is about twenty
eight ounces in twenty -four hours. This
fact alone shows the necessity of bathing
and washing the skin. The quantity
diminishes while eating, but increases
during digestion and sleep. The blood
is about one fifth of the weight of the
body. The heart, by its muscular con-
traction, distributes two ounces of blood
from seventy to eighty times in min
ute. The lungs owing to the continued
reception of fresh cold air, are the cold
est part of the body. In sleep the res
piration is less frequent than at other
times. A respiration may be held for
a minute and half. or even longer if
it be taken deep and long.

The skin of a boiled egg is the most
efficacious remedy that can be applied
to boil. Peel it carefully. wet and
apply it to the part effected. 1t will
draw off the matter and relieve the sore

Wash for the mouth: Dissolve a
spoonful of black current jelly in half a
cup of hot water, and add two Jumps of
sugar. Keep it in the mouth as long as
possible, but do not swallow it. 1t will
give relief when the tongue is dry or the
mouth foul.
