"Hello, Robinson! 1 havn't seen
you before since you had your glass
eye put in. How does it work.
ITO a CHARM" said Robinson. "Can
you see with it?' queried the
friend. swell, you see that town
clock; it's twenty two minutes past
seven, isn't it?" "I declare it's
wonderful! isn't it? Why, it must
be as good as the eye you were
born with" and the friend passed
on, perfectly dazed with the scien-
tific discoveries of the oculists.
The fact that Robinson's other eye
was not glass didn't once occur to
him.

The day of defensive armor seems

The day of defensive armor seems
to have gone by. War vessels are
already protected with armor as
much as they can be, and yet ahoat.
In fact, the lronclads are now prac-
tically unseaworthy from the weight
they carry, and still there are guns
in existence capable of sending
masses of metal through their sides.
In a receLt experiment, one of the
IOO-ton guns drove a Whitworth
conical shot weighing a full ton
through two solid feet of well tenn
pered steel plating, and that, too,
when the plating was braced and
backed so as to offer the maximum
resistance. Evidently there will
soon be a revolution in naval war
fare. No nation can afford to build
very expensive ironclads merely to
have their sides battered and per-
forated by the first heavily armed
vessel or fort they engage in action.

Nervousness.

Every organ and every muscle in
the human body depends for its ac-
ton on nerve-force, elaborated in
the brain, or spinal ganglia; and so
does every thought and feeling
the more active the thinking or the
more intense feeling, the greater
the expenditure of nerve force.
The little white threads that run
in branches through the body from
the brain and spinal cord are mere
ly conductors of this force, just as
the wires are of the electricity.

A London detective put his head
into an omnibus one day, just as it
was starting off, with the remark,
Passengers will do well to look out

two members of the swell mob in

looking old man, with glasses
and a gold-headed cane, hastily got
out, saying. "If that's the case,

A VOICE FROM HEAVEN.
roMR. AND MRS. J. W. STEELE HUNTSVILLE, al

No vict'ry to the grave is given,
Death lost all its stings;
My spirit SCARED to Heaven,
Borne on angel wings.
Pm now in glory bright;
Its halo crowns my brow;
Clothed in robes of light,
am an angel now.
No SORROW dwelleth here,
No trouble, care nor pain,
No grief, no sigh, no tear,
No aching heart orsbrain.
Here pleasure, peace and joy
Never can grow less;
Nothing can here annoy,
Heaven Is happiness.
Here all is love and light,
And hearts with rapture fill,
Here nights no longer night,
And day is brighter still.
Here life is one sweet song
Of love and joy forever;
Here day is not too long,
Tho ending, ending never.
The bright angelic band
Here stand around the throne,
With golden harp in hand,
And sing song unknown.
Unto me God has given
a crown and golden Tyre;
feel the joys of Heaven,
Pve Joined the angel choir.
Our heavenly Tyres we seize;
Anthems of D-aisa we sine.
And celestial melodies
Thro' the courts Cf Heaven ring.
But to no tongue is given
Of celestial joys to tell:
Once Paul caught up TO Heaven
Heard things unspeakable
And your Josie's words can't give
The glory to her given;
You must come up here to live
To know the joys of Heaven.
Till then you cannot know
The ineffable delight,
The bliss, the joy, the glow
Of Heaven blest and bright.
Parents, beloved and dear,
So tender, fond and true,
l am waiting for you here
To meet and welcome you.
And father and mother too,
With all who've gone before,
Are waiting here for you
On Heavens happy shore.
We are waiting for your call,
At the heavenly gates above;
We are waiting for you all,
To welcome you with love.
Oh! hasten then on high
There's naught up here that mars
Your mansions in the sky,
Your home beyond the stars.
Oil friends, tn tide ofYears
Speeds on at timeis behest,
Your path is thro' vale of tears,
But to heaven of rest.
But the sacrifice is small
To mansions up on high,
You may stumble, but not fall;
Press onward to the sky.
Press on with faithful feet,
Tho the time be far or near;
Press onwardi you will meet
Your own dear Josie here.
Press on with steadfast heart
To regions bright and blest;
Press oA, well never part,
In the saints perfect rest.
Press on and join the the tbrong
Of saints that have arriven,
And with music and sweet song,
We Will welcome you to Heaven.

THE GREAT PAIN RELIEVING and
curative remedies have already worked their
way into every hamlet where the English Ian
guage is spoken. That the reputation of and
demand for such remedies as these are,
should extend and increase, could not be other
wise. THERE rs NO PAIN, soreness or
swelling which they will not alleviate. There
are but exceptional cases Of constitutional
humors and distorted joints, which they do not
cure, and none they will not benefit. They
are SOOTHING, absorbing and emollient.
They EXTRACT THE PAIN from and heal
burns and scalds without scars. For RHEU-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, pains in the back
stiff joints, wounds, strains and eruptions, they
act with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. These
preparations are of two kinds, the FAMILY
and the ANIMAL Liniments. Being univer-
sally adapted to the external ailments of man
and beast, the name of the HALF-HORSE
and HALF-MAN Centaurs was naturally at
tached to them. They perform cures never be-
fore effected by any remedy. Undoubtedly
more of them are sold than of all other lini-
ments, ointments, oils, embrocations, plasters
and so-called pain-killers combined.
The WHITE Centaur Liniment cures Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago and Tic doul-
ourux.
IT RELIEVES Neuralgia and all kinds of
pain.
1T HEALS wounds, sores, gals and pois-
onous bites.
1T CURES Itch, Pimples and Salt Rheum.
1T SUBDUES Inflammation and pain.
IT CURES broken breasts and sore nipples.
BOILS, FELONS, ETC, are rendered near
ly painless
CONTACTED CORDS and stiff joints are
limbered.

Germany and the Money From
France.

In 1870 Germany waged mighty war with
France-and what but famine can vie with
war in destructiveness to wealth? Think of
the multitudes of men whom it converts from
producers into consumers onlyl War replaces
nothing that it destroys; impoverishment is its
inevitable offspring. But did not the indem-
nifty make all right for Germany? What
might not e220 100000 effect in the way of
remedy? Everything, if only they. had reached
Germany in the shape of goods, of useful
wealth, to replace as capital what had been
consumed. But what could gold avail for the
relieving of German distress? The currency
of Germany was not deficient and the new
gold could be applied to no restoring process.
1t could not be turned into wheels for moving
machinery, not become food and clothing for
laboring and distressed people. So long as it
remained in Germany, all that it could accom-
plish was to put material wealth into different
hands, and this it could do and did in a very
mischievous way Far better would it have
been if it had been locked up and boarded if
it was bound to remain in Germany. A large
portion OF this gold was applied to military
purposes, to the building of fortresses. Their
cost was enormous they consumed without re-
producing, precisely as the American railroads,
with this difference, however, on the bad side,
that in the end the railroads will repay their
cost and be permanent increasers of the ma
tional wealth. Nor was this all the harm that
the indemnity gold did. Another portion
the Government lent to SPECTATORS, who re-
tanned it within the country. They bought
German goods in abundance; prices rose, bril-
liant profits were realized and the same fatal
tale was repeated Luxurious consumption
SPREAD instead of restoring what the war had
destroyed, by parsimony prodigality magnified
the disaster, and the French gold wore the ap-
pearance of clear contrivance devised by
France for ayenging her reverses.
