In reference to the virtues Of the
lemon an eminent physician has this
to say: Lemon juice is the hest ar
tiscorbutic remedy known. 1t ma. hly
cures the disease, but prevents it.
Sailors make daily use of it for this
purpose. I advise every one to rub
their gums with lemon juice to Ieep
them in health. The hands and nails
are also kept clean, white, soft and SUD-
pie by the daily use Of lemon instead Of
soap. 1t also prevents chilblains.
Lemon is used IN intermittent fevers
mixed with strong, hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be
cured by rubbing the part affected with
q cut lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure
warts and to destroy dandrutf on the
head with it. lii fact its uses are mani
fold, and the more we employ il exter-
nally the better we shall find oursel res.
Natural remedies are the best doctor, if
we would only listen to it. Decidedly,
rub your hands, head and gums With
lemon, and drink lemonade IN prefer
anee to all other Liquids.

"Short recISonings make long friend
ships says the old adage so if YOU en-
ploy workers of any sort, pay them
promrtly. There is often much unnec-
essary dissatisfaction in the minds Of
hired laborers because their wages are
not promptly paid. 1t is unnecessary,
because it could be easily prevented.
Sometimes simple forgetfulness. some
times not altogether excusable neglect,
sometimes great pressure of other busi-
ness, sometimes the charms of pleasure
or the attraction of good company.

ter what the cause, it does not supply
the wants of the poor man or his family.
or prevent his having feeling Of being
wronged, cheerful payment Of sheer
dues has often put smile on the face,
elasticity in the step, energy in the arm,
and more and better work IN every
hour. Money is wonderful help to

GOLDSMITH n4lD,s Msmonr.

Recently Charley Cochrane, who was
for many years the faithful groom for
the celebrated trotter, Goldsmith Maid.
arrived from California and wishing to
see the grand old trotting mare and her
colt, called on Mr. Smith, her owner, to
obtain his permission to visit Fashion
Stud Farm, in New Jersey. Mr.. Saith
accompanied Cochrane to the farm, and
on arriving there remarked: "Charley
the Maid Is very Jealous of her colt, is
very cross, and will permit no one to
approach it. :" Cochrane arranged that
Goldsmith Maid should hear his voice
before she saw him, and although they
had not seen each other for two years,
a loud whinny presently assured the
visitors that the mare had recognized
the mans voice. Cochrane next showed
himself, when touching scene occurred.
the old queen of the turf, who for
months would not allow any one to ap
proach her, making use of both heels
and teeth if it was attempted, rushed
with bound to her old friend, forget
ting evenhercolt, and rubbed her head on
his shoulder, her nose in his face, ,played
with his whiskers, and showed by her
every action that her heart was full Of
jey to see him. Directly the colt came
to him, and the old mare was delighted
when Charley placed his hand on the
little fellow. When Cochrane left the
place the mare followed him to the gate,
wAinnying for him after he passed out
of her sight.-Balsimors San, .Septen-

Notwithstanding the entire absence

ty and interest, and the longer and

the more completely you are lost in adj

after the decline of the great orb of
day, these earth-like giants point up
their ragged edges and grotesqre col
unns against a canopy that is q marvel
of celestial covering. At this time of
the year clouds sail maiestically over
the mountain-tops. From sunrise until
within an hour Of sunset the imperial

pended over the world. Then the east
ern mountains and the horizon above
color up in lilac and gold. A few mo-
ments after sunset the whole heavens
and mountains upon either side assume
lavender hue. So perfect and so deli
cate are the tracings of the mountain
outlines against the sky at this period
of the evening that the entranced vis-
ion follows them as readily as if they
were just SO many artistic pencilings
upon map or parchment. Yet all this
pales in comparison with the mirage on
a clear morning, which cuts up these
same mountains into castles, cathedrals,
fortresses, esplanades, gardens, forests,
and every other imaginable thing, or
topples them over, or suspends them
in the air at will. One can watch the

try with more delightful avidity than
any other one thing that can be pre-
sented.
