What one Lemon Will Do.

A piece of lemon upon a corn will
relieve it in day or so. 1t should be
renewed night and morning. The free
use Of lemon juice and sugar will al
ways relieve a cough. A lemon eaten
before breakfast every day for a week
or two will entirely prevent the feeling
of lassitude peculiar to the approach
of spring. Perhaps its most valuable
property is its absolute power of detect
ing any of the injurious and even dan
gerous ingredients entering into the
composition of so very many of the
cosmetics and face powder in the
market. Every lady should subject
her toilet to this test: Place a tea
spoonful of the suspected powder in a
glass and add the juice of lemon; if
effervescence takes place it is an infal-
lible proof that the powder is danger
Gus, and its use should be avoided, as
it will ultimately injure the skin and
destroy the beauty of the comp lexion.

That Fifty.DOlIar Bill.

Lemuel Williams, the colored sailor,
who has been in the New York House
Of Detention as witness in the $50
bill case, was discharged Friday. Mr..
Prise who has acted as his counsel since
the charge was first made against
Cashier Merritt, asked that the $50 bill
which the colored woman had found
be handed to Williams. Judge Cowing
asked Williams if the bill was his, and
in reply he said, "The grand jury says
so, but don't" After a consultation
with the district attorney Judge Cowing
ordered that the bill, inasmuch as it
was claimed by no person, be handed
over to Williams.

A Con II d ence M an.

A man representing himself to be I.
B. Owens, in the employ of a Philadel-
pha lightning rod firm, has been doing
up the farmers around Smyrna in a
regular swindling game. He purchased
two wagons from carriage manufac-
turer at Smyrna, in payment for which
he gave him three notes signed by good
men in and around Elkton, Md. The
wagons were to be delivered in Phila-
d-lphia, aud in the intervening time
the merchant wrote to the purported
indorsers of the notes, who wrote back
that they were forgeries. The carriage
man has still got the notes and the
wagons, and Owens is badly wanted in
the neighhorhood of Smyrna, where he
would undoubtedly be given a warm
reception.

WE SHALL KNOW.

And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray
We shall know each other better.
When the mists have cleared away.

Never more to walk alone,

When the mlsts have cleared away.

And forget that we are dust,
II we miss the law OF kindness,
When we struggle tO be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pain that hides away
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.
When the msts have risen above us,
As our Father knows His own,
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known;
Love, beyond the orient meadows,
Floats the golden fringe OF day,
Heart to heart, we bide the shadows,
Til the msts have cleared away.
