NERVOUS POWER,

The merit of this remarkable remedy is due to its
peculiar property of restoring the wasted tissues OF
the body to their original irnness and vigor. II Is
well known that for every thought and action there is
death or decay of an amount of material proportion
ate to the magnitude of the thought action. This
waste Is supplied by the unimpdired nuritive func-
ton. The precocious activity of youths, the cnhusi
astic struggle for wealth and fame In the middle
aged and old age itself cause an undue decay of
teria nervous force.

How to Deal with Hard Times.

Young men complain that the oppor-
tunities for one just starting in life, with
his own fortune to make, arc not what
they were few years ago. And his COM
plant is we'll founded. There was a
time when it seemed as if money grew.
on every bush. This is not the sase now
by any means. Indeed, it has become
rather difficult to find the bushes on
which the money grows.
The depression in business has lasted a
good while. AS to the length Of time
it will still continue men Of intelligence
differ widely in opinion. Some improve
ment has already taken place. Still,
times are far from being flush as they
used to be, and the uncertainty of the
future is too great for young men to sit
down in idleness, fold their hands, aud
wait and wait on for turn in the wheel
Of fortune which may be far distant, or
may never take place.
What, then, should they do? They
should make up their minds boldly to
face the hard times, and should prompt
ly commence active life with courage
equal to the emergency. They must re-
double their industry, be more sef-deny-
ing and rigid in their cconemy, more
diligent in their calling, in every way,
to give satisfaction and attain promo
ton. ....,
All their privations, all their hardships,
endure but for seaaon; for the requisite
effort, though greater now than it used to
be, will in time secure its reward.
Again, it should be borne in mind that
though the times are less propitious now
than they used to be for the rapid &C
cumulation Of fortune, they are not less
favorable to the formation of high land
heroic character; and character always
stands far above fortune.

Crows and Grasshoppers.

Hon. Cassius M. Clay, in acommunica-
ton to the Richmond (Va) Register,
claims that crows do more than any 9TH
er bird to prevent the increase of grass
hoppers. We made the same statement
many years ago, says the New York Sun,
and also included the cricket, May beetle,
and several other insects in the list which
are known to be the favorite food of the
crow, bird which, through prejudice and
ignorance, is made war upon by the far
mers generally, when it ought to be pro-
1ected for the good it does in destroying
the pests of the farm. An Acushnet
farmer thinks if the above is true, there
ought not to be many grasshoppers, crick
cts, and May beetles in that town.

National Flags.

Egypt is supposed to have derived it's
name from the word coptos. principal
town, and gupta, guarded or fortified.
The inhabitants of Egypt were early en-
gagged in war, and were the originators
Of standards Or battle-fags. Standards
are now used by all civilized and nonciv-
ilized nations, and by many tribes of saw
ages. The standards of different nations
are generally selected with view to
commemorate some principal event in
connection with their history or achieve
ments; but in some instances there is con
siderable mystery connected with the
banners carried on various great occasions
and in process of time they have lost all
the significance they may have once
possessed. The flag carried by the fol-
lowers of Alohammed was green. In
Turkey, at the present day, when the
Sultan appears in public he is preceded
by an officer called an alemdar, who bears
the standard of the prophet. The crusa-
ders, who fought for the possession of the
Holy Land, were led forward under the
banner Of the cross.
After the conversion of the Emperor
Constantine to Christianity, there was
borne before him standard known as
the 1a6arum. 1t was long pike with a
traverse beam to which was attached a
long silken veil, wrought with the pict-
ures of the monarch and his children,
ana on the top was crown Of gold In
closing mysterious monogram represent.
ing the cross, with the initial letters of
the name of Christ.
The flag of Ireland is Of green, with
the picture of a golden harp. The stand
ard Of Great Britain is formed by the
union Of the three crosses of St. George
st. Andrew and St. Patrick. 1t is called
the great Union flag Of the Empire OF
Great Britain.
The national standard of Turkey is a
flag bearing the figure of the new moon,
and in the wars between the Christian.
and Moslem the Crescent and the Cross
were the respective banners under which
they fought. The French national flag
has varied greatly under different rulers,
but is now a tri-color of blue, white and
red. 1t was adopted by the nation at the
first revolution.

WHAT THE ROBIN KNOWS.

We are coming children, coming with the
springtime and the rose,
From the fragrant Southern. gardens where
the. spicy sumach grows, ... w.. -.
Where the trailing, blue eyed myrtle, and the
smilax blush and green, 49, =
Are weaving dainty garlands for the summers
soft-eyed queen.
We are coming, darlings, coming to our snug
y-hidden nest,
Where the orchard throws its blossoms on the
rivers ripping breast; .u
And beneath the emerald curtains, while we
Autter to and fro,
You will sit and wonder, wonder, "why the
robbins come and go"
All, the world is full of wondcrs,-bu we rob-
bins know them well!
Things too sOrrOwful for singing; things too
beautiful to tell!
We know why the rose is scarlet; we know
why the dcwdrOps fall;
We know why the fair-faced lily is the dearest
flower of all!
Listen! Once a loving Teacher talking to u
waiting band,
Held royal, spotlcss lily, gathered with a sim
less hand;
From His gers gentle pressure pleasant in
cense tloated up,
And a tear of soft compassion fell within the
NHACI Cup
Then the lily swayed and trcmblcd with mys-
tcriOus, glad unrest,
And she whittier grew, and whittier, with that
tcar-drop on her breast
For She knew that like the chalicc with its
sacramento wine,
She was chosen type and symbol of grief and
loye divine
And a crystal mist descended, and each bios
som bowed her head,
Eager for the odorous baptism of the tears the
angels shcd-
Shed because the Master sorrowed and the
drops, SO warm and true,
Ever after have been falling OH the earth in
limpid dew.
AT His feet, among the lilies with /; fair, un-
conscious grace,
Bloomed Il rose that paled with longing; long
ing for the lily's place.
Lo, He smiled with tender meaning smiled
and touched her petals white,
And she blllshed a living scarlet in her inno-
cent delight!
This, the red rose told Il robin and she grew
roster rcd,
AS she murlnured shyly, humbly, bowling low
her lovely head,
"Swccthcart, am not 1 as blessed as the lily
with her dew?
For the Hand that held the lily stopped and
touched the roses tool"
