0yerwOrk a ScapegOat.

Nunberless men, alleged to be hurt by
overwork, do not work half enough. Their
trouble comes from superabundance of leisure
and inactivity. They yawn through three or
four hours in the office or counting-room
are too indolent to walk up town eat too
heavy and rich dinners; go out afterwards
to see merchants, bankers and the like, aud
join boon companions who walk around
billiard tables or sit at cards, and keep very
thirsty until the drowsy steeples toll two or
three. This is overwork, but overwork in
the wrong direction, and of very different
kind from that supposed. Overwork covers
a multitude of bad habits; it is made a
scapegoat for countless transgressions; it is
very often shallow pretense, miserable
sham. While there are far too many who
overwork, there are great many that break
down and kill themselves by laziness self
indulgence and dissipation Very decidedly
overwork is overdone.-New York Times.

Way Of Treating a Bad Cold.

A bad cold, like measles or mumps, or

creasingly useful, by cutting a cold short
off in the following safe and simple manner
On the first day of taking cold there is a
very unpleasant sensation of chiliness. The
moment you observe this, go to your room
and stay there; keep it at such tempera-
ture as will entirely prevent this chilly feel
ing, even if it requires hundred degrees OF
Fahrenheit. In addition, put your feet in
hot water, half leg deep, as hot as you can
bear it, adding hot water from time to time
for quarter of an hour, so that the water
shall be hotter when you take your feet out
than when you put them in it; then dry
them thoroughly, and then put on warm,
thick woolen stockings, even if it be Sum.
ner, for Summer colds are the most danger
Gus and for twenty.four hours eat not an
atom of food but drink as largely as you
desire of any kind of warm teas, and at the
end of that time, if not sooner, the cold will
be effectually broken without any medicine
whatever.

In the laboratory of God, the sinners soul

place, and yet the person remain unconscious
of it for some time. There are myriads of
true Christians who know nothing of their
conversion, and yet they are converted
There are myriads of youth in every Chris
tian land, who are not professors of religion,
who have grown up under gospel influences,
and are as much converted as they will ever
be. The conversion has been unconscious,
and many of these refrain from publicly ac-
knowledging Christ on account of some
peculiar notions they have in reference to
the nature of conversion. An applicant for
admission to full communion in the church

No" I" Now, then, how about unconverted
persons; do you suppose that they confess
sins to God, and ask, for the sake of Christ,
Tor pardon and help, etc, and do it every day
as you do 2" Perhaps not" No, there
is no uncertainty about it. If one is so
anxious for pardon and righteousness as to
ask God for it in this way, then that one is

misled by Incorrect ideas as To conversion.
She had the new heart, was living the new
life, and did not recognize it as sound. And
there are many who are as truly converted
as this one was, and are yet looking for a
kind of conversion that can never take place
in them. The change that takes place in
the soul of lifelong sinner is not the
model conversion. There is no model

Relief for Neuralgia.

As this dreadful disease is becoming more
prevalent than formerly, and as the doctors
have not discovered any method or medicine
that will permanently cure it, we simply
state that for some time past member OF
our family has suffered most intensely from
it, and could find no sure relief from any
remedy applied until we saw an article
which we published, recommending the ap-
plioation Of bruised horse-radsh to the wrist
for toothache. AS neuralgia and toothache
are both nervous diseases, we thought the
remedy for the one would be likely to give
relief to the other, so we made the applica-
tion of horse-radish bruised, and applied TO
the wrist on the side of the body where the
disease was seated, which gave instant re.
lief to severe attack of neuralgia. Since
then we have applied il several times, and
with the same gratifying results. The rem
edy is simple, cheap, and may be within the
reach OF every one.-LaTenspilie Herald.

How to Get n Dinner.

A gentleman who had Travelled about
pretty extensively was greatly perplexed to
understand how it was that other persons
were waited upon promptly and we'll served
at the hotels, while he was almost entirely
ignored and could scarcely obtain a square
meal-complain to or swear at the waiter
as he might At last his eyes were opened
to the dodge of feeling the waiter liberally,
and being of all ingenious turn of mind he
determined to improve upon the plan. The
next hotel he dined at he took his seat very
pompously at the table, and took out we'll
filled pocket-book, extracting therefrom a
ten dollar bill, which he laid on the white
cloth beside his plate, and placed his goblet
upon it. In an instant almost he was sur
rounded by walters, who seemed to vie with
each other in attentions. Every wish was
anticipated, and all the delicacies of the
kitchen and pantry were placed before him
in tempting array. Having Jared as sumpt-
uously as prince (to the envy of many of
the guests, he took up the greenback, and
beckoning to the nearest waiter, was i'm
mediately besieged by half dozen or so.
Holding the bill in one hand, he pointed to
it with the other, and inquired of the crowd
DO you see that bill 2" "Oh, yes, sir"
they all exclaimed in chorus. "Then take
good look at it," he replied; 8" for you will
never see it again" Saying which, he de-
parted, leaving the walters aghast.

How the Home Was Bought.

young man was very anxious TO secure
piece of property which was just then for
sale, on very advantageous terms. lie went
to confer with friend of his who was a
banker, about the matter, and to inquire
whether it would be prudent to borrow the
requisite sum and pay it in regular install
ments. lie thought he should be able to
manage all but the first instalment. He
was advised TO borrow from the bank sum
enough larger than he wished to raise to
cover the payment, lay it strictly aside, and
then go ahead, But said his friend, you
must spend literally nothing. You must
make box and drop in il all the money
you receive. The young man and his wife
went bravely to work to follow this advice.
II it was necessary to dine off the head of
a boiled cabbage and salt they did so,
and never grumbled. Every payment was
promptly met. The egg money and the but
ter money, and the corn and wheat money
all went into the payment box, and at the
specified time the place was theirs. There
was an invisible wealth about such hard
earned possessions that common observers
knew nothing of. On the day for the last
payment the young man presented himself
before his friend with smiling face and with
the money in hand. There were no rags to
be seen, but his clothing was we'll covered
with darns from head to foot "You see |
have followed your advice he said, casting
glance over himself and my wife looks
worse than | do But have earned the
farm, and now | know how to earn another"
1t is TO be hoped that he did not set out to
earn another until he had bought himself
and wife each new suit, and laid in a good
stock of provisions for another such cam
paign. But his example points in the right
direction. A young couple who want to
buy home must agree to be extremely saw
ing. The saving box must become regu-
lar institution in the house, and must alb
sorb all the dimes that commonly slip away
on triaes. Where the two are agreed on the
matter, it is not nearly as hard as it looks,
aud the little droppings count up faster than
! you would suppose, and the end in view is

A Pretty Ornament.

In one corner of my room | have shelf
which to me is prettier than many a costly
bracket. 1t is about thirteen inches wide
in the middle, and is of plain wood, un
painted and unvanished. Across the front
is fastened strip of pasteboard even with
the shelf on its upper edge, and reaching
about five inches below, to cover the un.
slightly pieces of wood which are fastened TO
the wall for the shelf to rest on. This paste
board | covered with the beautiful gray
lichen, found in such quantities on rocks in
old pastures. Then good-sized flower pot
was set in the center of the shelf containing
splendid maiden-hair fern. The soil was
such as ferns delight in-leaf mould from
their native woods, mixed with little sand,
and plenty of charcoal in the bottom of the
pot. On each side of this center-piece
placed small pot Of German ivy. fas
tened one end of long piece of hoopskirt
wire to the outside of one pot of ivy, then
bent the other end down and fastened it to
the outside of the other pot for an arch over
the fern. To cover up the flower pots ar.
ranged fortifcation the whole length of
the shelf, consisting of sheets of green moss,
bits of old stumps covered with air-like
lichen, small white stones, and as many
dainty little red cups as | could find.
The ivy soon covered the arch prepared for
it, and then rambled over the moss and
lichens, finally hanging down in graceful fes-
toons several feet below the shelf. The
whole cost was exactly forty cents, the price
of three flower pots.-F2ordi Cabinet.

Mistakes.

Our mistakes are sometimes in the end
the best thing that could have happened to
us. However they turn out at last, they dis
cipline character and they compel depend
ence. 1t is true, most assuredly, that when
we ask for wisdom, and ask properly, it must
be given us for God is faithful who hath
promised. But we do not always either get
or discern the gift Immediately; various
channels and diverse agencies and at long
intervals may bring it. Yet God is behind
them all, working through and beneath them
Suppose we lose the main road, and for
while turn off by a by-path, there may be
some flower to Gull, or some landscape to see,
we should have missed otherwise,-w
does IT matter, if we get back into the path
at last 7 The panic of an irreparable mis-
take almost crushed us we saw no way of
escape from blunder into which we seemed
TO have been pushed in answer to fervent
prayer. But wait and things will turn, and
in the end your fancied error may prove the
wisest thing you ever did in your life A
good conscience as TO motive, a child-like
will as TO purpose, devout heart as to af.
fection, helps TO make the light in which
Christ walked with his Father, in which he
would have us walk with him, ever trying
to do such things as please him. When the
curtain rises that shuts out the secret of the
divine government from our mortal gaze, our
mistakes may be seen 10 have been our edu-
cation for Immortality. Good Words.

Not Always Happy.

happily, such people are sometimes school
teachers. Children under such instructors
