OF all the mean characters that have come un-
der our observation, the meanest of all is the dys
peptic cynic, to whom grumbling has become q
second nature. The weather is always too hot or
too dry; the meat is too rare or too thoroughly
cooked, too fat or TOO lean-in short, he grunbles
about every thing from his coffee TO Congress.
He is always in want of something he has not.
and forever discontinued with whatever be has.
Contrariness is his distinguishing trait. If his
wife desires to spend the evening with a friend
he insists upon staying at home. He warns all
his bachelor friends to beware of matrimony. His
brain is SO full of whims and crotchets, there is
little room for reason OF sense But the dyspeptic
cynic reaches the acme of disagreeableneSs when
diseased liver has supplemented the grumbling
by hypochondria. Then the slightest unpleasant
circumstance is magnifed into something momen-
tous and terrible. The victim becomes distrust-
full of his best friends, and all sorts of imaginary
evils haunt the weakened brain. This picture is
not overdrawn, as thousands of homes can attest
homes in which domestic happiness and hap-
mony have been wrecked by-nOthing more than
a dyspeptic and chronic disease of the liver
Given sound stomach and healthful liver and
the results will almost invariably be health and
cheerful temper. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are un-
failing remedies for all chronic diseases of the
stomach and liver. Druggists mark them as the
most popular domestic remedies on their list.

Visions of Spring.
Burdette.

the table and expresses his emotion by

Somebody left the window open and
'the wind blew it in" 1t lies prone
enough just now, but it isn't half so
prone as it looks. [ whistle up the dog
of my neighbor. 1t is young dog,
foolish in its general habits, impulsive
to fault, usually incorrect in it's pre-
misses, faulty In It's deductions, and ut
terly erroneous in its conclusions. Idi-
rect the attention of the dog to the
struggling wasp, and, by sibilant sound
and haunting and encouraging gestures,
endeavor to excite the unjust wrath of
the quadruped against the insect. | am
eminently successful. The instinct of
the brute would undoubtedly teach him
to shun strong, healthy wasp, but as
this insect appears to be suffering from
broken back the dog is confident of
an easy victory. After short intro
ductory overture of banks he advances
upon the buzzing victim and picks it
up. But how shall we despise the day
of small things? Without the sunshine
floods the dusty thoroughfare of Eighth
street with the glory Of the spring, the
maple buds unfold and the white bios
SONS sparkle like summer snowdrops
OF the cherry trees; child in clean
white dress and flannel leggings is fall
ing down the stairs of the house across
the way, and the man in the lot adjoin-
ing is trying to chase seven chickens
into one coop, while the seven chickens
with fine burst of speed are endeav-
oring very successfully to distance the
man in seven different directions. No
one man can head off seven chickens
under those circumstances. A woman
out calling" and evidently a little bit
lost as to locality, is standing with a
card-case in her hand, patiently knock
ing at the door of house that has
been empty nearly eight weeks. The
wasp, evidently cheered and toned by
the skirmish, is wheeling airily about
the room, singing in low, soft tones the
songs of other golden summer days.
How peaceful and summer-like the

in many places disappeared. In one
instance shed full of poultry was
burned. Some Indian neighbors of the
farmers who owned them dropped in
after the fire and were sh OF in the act
of dining upon 'fowl done to turn"
The manner of fighting the prairie fire
away from buildings is interesting. The
whole household run out, with carpets
torn to shreds, and beat back the sea by
means Of thin rags stepped in water.
One dash with a wet rag is equal to
dozen buckets of water.
The fires on the foot hills of the Cat
skills in the town of Hurley, which have
been burning for several days past, are
extending. On Tuesday night, from
the Weinberg, it appeared as if the
fires in the Lapala district were ascend
ing the Olive Mountains. The fires to
the north of Lapaia have extended in
that direction considerable distance
the past two days, and the volume of
smoke from them almost hides the Cat
skill back of them. Down the river,
back of Staatsburg, on the high land,
there is also a large fire in the, woods.
The usual cause of these mountain fires
is given in the Rondout Freeman, that
the huckleberry- pickers start them, as
the first thing to grow on a burned dis
trict is a hllckleberrV bush

MISerableneSS.

The most wonderful and marvellous
success, in cases where persons are sick
or pining away from condition of mis-
erableness, that no one knows what ails
them, profitable patients for DOCTORS
is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters.
They begin to cure from the first dose
and keep it up until perfect health and
strength is restored. Whoever is aff1ict-
ed in this way need not suffer, when they
can get Hop Bitters. See 'Truths" and

Storms i'm the Mountains.

In the Colorado Mountains the lain
clouds do not overspread the whole
heavens as in the Atlantic states, but
pass over in areas of narrow width, fol-
lowing up the mountain spurs and
chains, and often when the rainfall on a
mountain-top or mountain side is suf
ficient to transform the tiny rivulet or
brooklet into a raging torrent of water,
there will be in the valley below, only
a mile or two distant, continued sun
shine, balmy and fragrant atmosphere
and continued employment for man
and beast. 1t is a grand, d glorious
sight to witness thunderstorm in these
western mountains, to listen to the roll
ling, rumbling, almost deafening raver-
beration as the thunder-cloud passes
over some lofty mountain plateau or
range along the crest Of some jagged
mountain cliff, and witness the vivid
play of the forked lightning, as it flash
es from cloud to cloud. or darts, mete-
or-Gke, from crag to crag; while during
this time the observer is basking in the
sunshine in some beautiful valley just
outside the mountain range, not even
subject to the drippings of the skirts of
this Wasteful mountain shower.

How TO 60 TO SLEEP. Sit down in an
easy position, relaxing all the muscles
of the body, and let the head drop for
ward upon the breast, as low as it will
fall without forcing it. Sit quietly this
way a few minutes, freeing all the will
power of the body, and restful.
drowsy feeling will ensue which will, if
not disturbed, lead to refreshing
sleep. If the sleepless fit comes on in
the night, one can simply sit up in the
position described. Stiffness of any
part of the body must be avoided, and
it is we'll to bend the body forward after
lying down, rather than to keep it
straight or thrown back upon the pill
low.

How he married himself, is related
as follows bv Massachusetts paper:
On the 10Th of last July tie Rev.
Henry j. Munson created more than
a local sensation in Worcester, Mass,
by pausing in the middle of Divine
service in the Advent Chapel to call
forth from the congregation Miss
Matte A. Elton and proceeding to
marry himself 70 her. The reverend
gentleman then reascended the pul-
pit to resume the service, but his con
gregasion with singular unanimlty
of sentiment arose and left the church.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Murfson was
arrested under an old State law on
the charge of unlawful wedlock, and
appeared in the District Court to an
swer the charge. Mr.. Munson seems
to be a perfectly harmless religious
monomaniac. Before any witness
was called, he asked permission of
the Court, to invoke the Divine bles-
sing, and his wife nee Miss Eaton
being little late, he begged that
the examination might be delayed I'M
til she arrived. The facts in the case
were all reviewed, and Mr.. Munson
claimed for the defence that there
was no law prohibiting that form of
marriage ceremony. He had law
fully taken out license, he said. ac-
cepted the marriage VOWS himself,
and administered them to his wife.
The case attracted good deal of at
tention. of course. and at the end of
the hearing the prisoner wGs held IN
$500 bail TO appear before the Su
perior Court.

How a Geyser was Made in Penn
sylVania.

A special correspondent Of McClure's
Times, writing from Kane, Pa, says:
Within the last two or three weeks
brief mention has been made Of the
spoufiug we'll, four miles distant from
this resort, but no correct explanation
has been published. The Kane Geyser
Well is located IN Mexican county, Pa, .,
four miles southeast of the " Summit
Summer Resort" Ths well was
drilled for petroleum IN the spring OF
1878 to total depth Of 1000 feet.
No oil was found in paying quantities
and the well was abandoned, since
which time it has been throwing period
icaliy-ten to fifteen minutes-a col

geological survey, has made a study of
the ssGeyser Well" and mas furnished
the following facts: During the opera
