THISTLEBLOW.
. thistle blow, on downy wing

A thistle blow, on downy wing,
Came floating through the sunny air,
And poised above me, beauteous thing,
The answer TO rising prayer,
My heart had grown perpieXed with doubt,
For life was fun ofmystery,
And full of tears and self-defeat,
Until the vision came to me, ~
But gazing at the airy shape, HE
That with the zephyrs rose and fell,
/ seemed to read a message sent,
And find it in parable.
A tiny bark, with Silken sails
Aspread to catch the favoring breeze,
And freighted with its deathless seed,
1t sped thro' gold and azure seas.
A sphere, it held itself in space
A mimic world in orbit free,
Impalpable and underlined. Nv
Save by its shining radlf.
And marking how tle May lines, e. a
To outward gaze. entangled grew, #t.EEs.
Another symbol crossed my thought,
A symbol Sweetly, subtly true,
What if our life with batf1ed plans,
That blend before our anxious sight,
Be lent but like the thistle-blow, his
To wing us on our heavenward tight!
What if, about these restless hearts,
In unsupported order meet
The silver strands Of influence,
Which we at last may trace complete!
And then, upon life's seeing wrong,
looked no more iii sad dismay,
Nor sank beneath its fancied weight,
Nor Wept that all was vanity.
But, gazing upward to the Lord,
Found each experience lead to Him, .4- "a
hose province encompasses sH#t
Beyond life's undiscovered rim.

How He Won Ali Her Money.
Rochester Mimi Record.

Once there was a young man who
married young woman, and she was
rich and he was poor, and it made him
sad to think of it. One day she told
him damaging stories about some of
their neighbors that she had heard at
tea-fght, and he listened and thought,
and very soon he saw way out of his
poverty, for his wife believed the tale
she had heard at the tea-fght. After
she had finished the stories, he said: "I
will 60 you five to twenty that there is
not one word of truth in that you have
Just told me-" for he did not know how
sure his game was, SO he wanted odds.
And she, plying his folly, said, "Its
whack," and they investigated the sto-
ries, and found them false, so he won.
And they continued in this sinful prac-
tice of betting on the truth Or falsity of
town gossip, in the same order in which
they started out, and four years had not
turned the corner ere he had all her
wealth, and she had some valuable ex-
perience.s

Stimulate the Sluggish Kidneys.

In addition to its tonic and cathartic properties,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters exercises beneficial
influence upon the kidneys and bladder, when
they are inactive, by stimulating, as 1t were,
sluice for the escape of impurities whose regular
channel of exit IS the organs of urination.
Among these are certain abnormal and infam-
matory elements, productive of irreparable In

kidneys and bladder themselves are also benefit

Good Advice to Parents.

Many parents labor under the mistaken impress
sion that their children must all pass through the
ordeal known as children's diseases, and, as they
sometimes express it, the sooner the better. A
child is subject to disease Tin fact less soy
to regulate its diet and Keep the sy stem cleansed
by appropriate medicines. BY this we do not
mean an habtual dosing" with purgatives Such
practice would weaken the infant system SO
that it could not resist the attacks OF disease and
would also prove ruinous to its physical cOnstitu
ton. But moderate occasional Of an eff

ease, besides greatly promoting it's vigor and
strength. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is uneIcelled as an Alternative, and will prove
very efectual preventive Of these diseases.

any OF the family intended going to
the county town, they had to be up at
dawn of day, take a solitary breakfast,
and set out on what was then formi-
dable expedition. OF course the affair
used to be discussed in the family the
evening before, commissions given and
the time of starting fixed on. And
now comes the strange part of my
story. Whether the servants were up
IN good time or not, the fire was always
lighted, the kettle boiling, and breakfast
ready at the appointed time! The
clothes which came from the wash were
found carefully sorted out and appor-
toned to their respective owners; none
could tell by whom. If fire was re-
q:lred in the nursery, it was kept up
by invisible hands. Nurse was a heavy
sleeper, but no matter; her deficiencies
We're supplied by the obliging and in
defatigable ghost. Nurse used to find
as bright fire in the morning as she
had left at night, the turf basket replen-
ished, and all as neat and orderly as
bands could make it. To get out the
breakfast things my grandmothe keys
must have been taken from her room,
but by whom no one could tell.
Leave the key-basket in nly room,
said visitor the night before he left.
1 am light sleeper, and if the ghost
comes to get my breakfast, I shall
know it." ,asf .~ss -s, - s-a .-
Towards daybreak he heard the keys
tinkle, and instantly threw dagger,
which he had hidden under his pill
low, to the spot whence the sound
proceeded In the morning the dagger
was found stuck in the door, but no
cleW to the mysterious visitor could be
found. = E- #f .a
" At last my grandmother determined
that the mystery should be solved,
whatever it might be, and she prepared
to sit up in her room all night, listening
for the faintest sound. For long time
all was still; and my grandmother was
beginning to fear that her long watch
through the winters night was only
wasting her strength in vain, when at
last, somewhere in the small hours, she
heard slight thud upon the stairs. In
stantlv Selling her candle, she rushed
out, just In time to see slender figure
In white, carrying a basket of turf on his
dl III. 4 lt I3ll VI ID SUI. lTOIl LIlG lucl-
basket was the sound she had heard.
My grandmother was brave woman,
and swiftly as the white figure fitted on,
swiftly did she follow after, up staircas-
es and along passages, till just as it
reached the nursery door, she overlook
it, and discovered her niece walking in
her sleep! - z. Gesrl 5'l..,ss
cit seems the poor girl was so anxi-
Gus about the household arrangements
that she used to rise in her sleep to &C
complish ali that she knew ought to be
done. How her zeal nearly cost her
life through the foolish rashness of a
young visitor, ] have already told you.
She was never again permitted to sleep
alone. My grandmother took her to
her own bed, and clasped in her loving
arms; tie poor girl learned to forget
her cares, and take full benefit of
Tired Natures sweet restorer, balmy sleep
"Had not my grandmother possessed
good sense, courage and resolution, the
story might have had very different
ending. Chambers Journal

bivalve lovers in the West will be
glad to hear that the oysters will be
more plentiful this year and fatter

having been warm the oysters have
fed well, and the shells are now all
full of solid meat. The planted
oysters in the East river from Vir-
ginia seed have turned out we'll, and
the few native beds in the East
river promise fine yield. 1t re-
quires 100000 oysters a day to
keep New York only moderately
supplied during the season: The
prices promise to rule a little lower.
There are plenty of Virginia
oysters, and the reports from the

able. The contracts have nearly
all been made for the coming season
at much lower rates than hereto

The New stock specuiations.

The new combination method OF
operating in stocks which Messrs.

inaugurated, is attracting unusual at
tention in financial circles, by reason
of it's remarkable success. A custom
er in Providence invested nine times
and made over SIS 900 in three months,
by using from $50 to $500 capital. By
this system, orders from thousands of
customers, in various sums, are pooled
into one immense capital, and oper-
ated as mighty whole, thus giving to
each shareholder all the advantages of
vast capital and shrewdest skill. Prof
it's are divided every thirty days. Any
amount from $40 to S75 600 can bs used
in Messrs Lawrence & Co 's combina-
ton with equal proportionate success.
$15 will make $75 profit in the month.
5000 will return 1900, or per cent.
