THE soRcERIEs OF SCIENCE.
IA soSO BY AN OLD souooLMAN. I

Day by day, in this wonderful nge,
Is announced some amazing invention,
| Fit to puzzle the brains of a sage
And far past my poor comprehension.
You can talk by the telephone wire,
Seas DER. with electric colerity;
To the phonograph they that aspire
May their voices transmit to poserity.
In my youth it was once thought vRir
dream
That the streets could be lighted with gas
To expect locomotion from steam
Was sccoanted the hope Of an ass.
A guffaw, as of yesterday, rings
In niue ears from the days long ago
When, at what seemed ridiculous things,
Our grandfathers laughed, hol hol hol
And still have some fear in my mind
That this science will end in confusion,
That its marvels at last We shall find
To have been but Old HArry's illusion;
We shall suddenly wake up some day,
In astonishment round us 10 stare,
To find visions have vanished away,
And the good old times just as they woro.
Oh, for days on which memory dwells,
When the hedgerows were sweet with
musk-rosesl
What ifcesspools were sunk close 20 wells,
And our pig sites right under our nososf
From your sewers W hat good have You got,
Beyond fever germs and bacterial
Till they made Us drain. tyI hold was not,
And we'd no such disease as diphthoda.
Now, If nights to be turned into day,
The electric light, next, will give rise,
Pve no doubt, with its dazzling display,
To some novel disease Of the eyes,
'Gainst the new lights l stand by the old.
Though their sheen by comparison suffers J
Oh, for your good old days, dip and mould,
With your tinder-box, matches and snuf-
fers Punch.

but this entrance was closed with a
red hot bar, and Satan himself stood
peeping out, waiting for travellers
thereabout, and thus to the passen-

Is the place where cook the ones
who never pay their subscription

escape, they'll fad that when they
ARE dead it is toe late; l melt them

The Advertiser.

The wide awake business man
who wants money and gets it never
fails to advertise his business. II
every man in business would adver-
tise in his town or city paper there
would be more general prosperity
enjoyed by them. The paper goes
among the people of the town, city
and country, and is read by thou
sands of people They see that Mr..
So and So has good lot of family
groceries which he offers at a bar
gain. Another has a lot OF fine
furniture to dispose of, and the
stove man has a fine assortment on
hand, together with all kinds of tin
ware for sale cheap. These men
invite them to call and examiD e
their stock. When they come to
town they do so, and the conse-
quence is they trade with those men
who are helping to keep alive their
county paper, which they could not
do without.

Blood a Cure for Rheumatism.

Henry Stanley, a resident of An
tioch, has suffered severely since
June last with the rheumatism.
From a strong, robust man, he was
reduced almost to a skeleton; the
joints, especially of the knees, were
stiff and swollen, the cords and liga
ments contracted, and the case was
altogether a seriousone. Some one
of the butcher boys suggested to
Stanley the idea of bathing in and
drinking blood. He was taken to
McMaster's slaughter house and
treated accordingly, with the most
astonishing results. Placed in po
sition to receive the warm sun
shine, his limbs were bathed in
warm blood, fresh from the slaugh
tered animals; as soon as the blood
was dried upon his legs they were
wrapped in a fresh sheep's pelt,
another being bound across his
back; he also drank freely of beef
blood. In two days after commenc-
ing this treatment Stanley discarded
the use of his crutches and is appa-
rently q sound man. He has the
full use of his limbs, and the
swelled Joints are in a natural state,
and he daily gains rapidly in
strength. This is to US a new rem
edy, and whether like results would
follow in all cases of rheumatism is
a matter of conjecture, but it has
accomplished wonders for Stanley.

Every PERSONS feelings have a
front and side door by which they
may be entered. The front door is
ON the street. Some keep it always
open; some bolted with a chain
that Will let you peep in, but not
get in; and some nail it up, so that
nothing can pass its Threshold.
This front door leads into a pass
age which opens into an anteroom,
and this into the interior depart
ments. The side door opens at
once into the sacred chambers.
There is almost always at least one
KEY to this side door. This is car
ried for years hidden in a mothers
bosom. Fathers, brothers, sisters
and friends, often, but by no means
always have duplicates of it.

Knowing People.


There are always some people in
every community who imagine
themselves, to use a common phrase,
"very smart" and they are gener-
ally of the busybody kind. One of
these can do more harm in a town
or neighborhood than a dozen good
people can set at right. No minis
ter can come into a place but these
smart ones can pick any amount of
flaws in his every day walk; or his
sermons are always too long or too
short, too soft or too hard, or ''he
can't preach" and a hundred other
imaginary imperfections which the
less pretentious never think of men
tioning. But these knowing ones
do not stop here; for no enterprise
was ever started but was contrary
to their views. Other folks never
build pig pen, smoke house, a
corn crib, barn, a dwelling, a
school house or a church to suit
these babblers; and no newspaper
was ever run according to their
ideas of business, land l won't have
anything to with it, and I'll keep
everybody else from it that | can. .

HIGH PRICED LADIES.
An Incident Illustrating Human
Nature and the Spirit
Of the time.
A Demand for IIigh rice..

Louisville Evening News: Times
may be hard aud work may be
scarce, money tight aud rates for
accommodation hign, but there
seem 10 be people who seem TO
bowl along pretty gaily in the
rush of old time extravaganza, and
make the dollars hy proiusely. 1t
is not only your bonanza people Of
low birth aud mushroom wealth
who buy the laces and jewels, which
crowned heads deemed necessarily
costly, who ding money away on
articles that are simply high priced
without regard TO taste or fitness.
Women OF far less wealthy sur
roundIngs embark in the race of
eXtravagant outlay, and acquire a
reputation Of buying "ony the
dearest"
An instance of this CHARACTER was
related TO a News reporter by
lazy who had witnessed curious
scene in IA fashionable mlliner's cs
tabllshment. This lady had gone
in with the intention OF purchasing
a bonnet. Having made choice
of one, costing Sl4, aud 1t was be-
ing put up Tor her, when a lady the
wife of a merchant and somewhat
noted for her pronounced costumes,
entered upon che same Grand
The whole establishment was ran
sacked TO please her: bonnets and
hats from $40 10 500 were rejected,
as "rather common" "cheap mate
rial" etc. FINELY the milliner ex-
hibited n bonnet the counterpart Of
that sold few moments before for
$l4 aud demanded $75 for II as the
most recherche piece OF head gear in
the establishment. On its presen-
tation i was s.Ell1S .PElalr1eShaAssat 1fo&nSS@.@e
When the purchaser had gone, tho
lady first mentioned said 10 tho
milliner:
"Eow could you have the con
scince TO charge $40 for just such
bonnet as you let me have for
SAP"
"MadaL1;" replied the shrewd
husiness woman, shat lady has TO
be charged i've prices, or she will
no.. buy, and there are dozen like
her whom | could mention. Do
YOU know that she has such an
idea of extravaganza, that when she
went for once in her life TO order
some roast beef from leading
butcher 10 the market, aud the
butcher said he could give her a
beautiful cut for ten cents pound,
she snapped back "You ought 10
know better than to think we can
eat ten cent meatp 'Oh, We can
give you some at eighteen cents,
replied the butcher, and lac has
ever since supplied that family
with meat at eighteen cents which
other people get for ten"
This is a fact IL may be pleas
ing TO remark in this connection
that the husband OF the lady OBJ
tanned a settlement with his credi-
tors a couple Of years ago, on very
easy terms--about ten per cent on
the dOllar-and rs thus able 70 af-

A bad cold or cough, the most insid-
ious of all the evils which afflict man
kind, readily yields to Coussen's Com
pound Honey of Tar, and practical test
of its virtues has never failed to con
vince the most skeptical that it is the
best remedy ever offered the public TO-
Coughs, Colds and all diseases of the
Throat and Lungs. The editor of one OF
our religious papers says that friend
of his, suffering with Asthma, informs
him that he experienced more benefit
from the use of Coussens' Compound
Honey of Tar, than from all the various
remedies he has tried. If you have a

Tho Lost to Sight to Mem'ry Dear.

The following lines were familiar to oar
grandfathers, but are not so to the present
generation. They have a sweet aroma, like
old wine which has lain in the cellar for gen
erations. The burden of them, ''Though
Lost to Sight to Mem'ry Dear" is frequently
quoted, but we fancy that few who quote it
know its origin. 1t was written by kuthven
Jenkyns, and vas first published in the
Greenwich Magazine, more than one hundred
and seventy years ago. lD Tennyson's "In
Memoriam" there is also something similar;
Sweetheart, goodbye | the futt'ri1g sail
Is spread to watt me far from thee
And soon before the fav'ring gale
My ship shall bound upon the sea.
Perchance all desolate and forlorn,
These eyes shall miss thee many a year,
But unforgOtten e. cry charm,
Though lost to sight to nsent'ry dear.
Sweetheart, goodbye One last embrace
o cruel Fate ! true souls to sever
Yet in this hearts most sacred place
Thou, thou alone shalt dwell forever!
And still recollection trace
In Fancy's mirror, ever near,
Each smile, each tear, that form, that face,
zh2ugA lost to sight TO naen1'Ty dear.
Sweetheart, &C ood-byel though nevermore
I he wave may bear me back to thee
Though thrown upon some distant shore
By angry wind and surging sea,
My con- tant heart would still recall
Thy soft brown eyes and browner hair,
And know thy tones, thy touch, thy all,
Though lost to eigAt, to nael9'ry dear.

One merchant wants to ecOno-
mize and quits advertising. An
other and another does likewise.
Each one thinks his patronage a
small matter to the publisher, and
he will just save that much and
withdraw. Admit for the present
that he saves something by it-that
he does not lose at one end while
he saves at the other-did it ever
occur to you what a beautiful spec
tacle your county paper would pre-
sent if every business man and
manufacturer in town did the same
wayf 1t is the duty of every citi
zen to help sustain his home paper
by giving it a liberal patronage.
Subscriptions only will not do. A
country weekly would starve to
death on subscriptions alone. Ad
vertlse Systematically and constant
ly, if not for direct personal profit,
at least to sustain and uphold "a
home enterprise which no good cit
izen would like to do without, even
if he could. Our rates of advertis
ing have been greatly reduced.
They are down to ante-war figures.
We claim from every good citizen
a recognition of the fact that a pa
per must have patronage in order TO
live, and if it is to be a paper to
which you can point with pride as a
home institution, you must give it
a liberal and constant patronage.
1t cannot and should not live alone
or foreign advertising. Suppose
every man should conclude to with
draw his patronage even Temporal
FLY! Think how blank your coun-
ty paper would be. Think how
soon it would languish and die!
Think how poorly you would get
along without it, Suppose YOU had
no county paper, how much would
you contribute toward starting one?
Then ask yourself if you should
not do as much to sustain one al
ready established. Don't take it
for granted that it is already estab-
lished and will be continued any
how. This is not fair. 1t is your
duty to help sustain it, and make it
matter of pride to point to it as the
best county paper in the State, be-
cause it is the most literally up
held by it's nome people.
