TnE advance in the price of paper
which presses hardest upon aewspa-
per publishers, may be accounted for
in a measure by the varied and con
tinued new uses to which that article
is applied. Among the thousands of
articles Of this material, some of the
latest are car-whcels, water buckets,
window shutters, boats, bath tubs,
wash basins, blankets, etc. But the
very latest use Of this material is in
the manufacture of stoves, which is
being successfully accomplished by
German paper makers. A writer says
Of this new invention that fire blazes

his verbal decision concerning Wells,

CHARITY OF SpEEcH.-Charity of
speech is divine thing as charity of
action. The tongue that speaketh no
evil is rs lovely as The hand which giveth
aims. To judge no one.harshly, to mis-.
conceive no mans motives, to believe
things are what they seem to be until
they are proved otherwise, to temper
Judgment, to build up churches, establish
asylums and to find colleges. Unkiud
words do as much harm as unkind deeds ;
many heart has been wounded beyond
cure by words; many reputation has
been stabbed to death by few little
words. They have separated families,
parted husbands and wives, and broken
the ties between the dearest friends.
There is charity which consists in with.
holding words, in keeping back harsh
judgments, in abstaining from speech, if
to speak is to condemn. Such charity
hears the tale of slander, but repeats it
not; it will not be the one to help the
ball roll. 1t listens in silence, but for
bears comment, and it locks the uLpleas.
ant secret up in the very depths of his
heart. While the busy censorious world
is wagg;ng its tongue, charity sits dumb
amid the clatter, refraining from passing
Judgment on that of which it has no proof
and which, even if it had, would prefer
throwing the mantle of silence over the
unpleasant matter
Could it be possible for slandcr to make
the headway that it does, if reticence, in.
stead of mitigation, was the universal
rule could report be furnished the hun.
dred wings it has if there was not so many
tongues wagging? silence an It'll rumor,
it is speech that keeps it alive and lends
it vigor. tits to the heart that is kind and
gentle that charity flies and broods quiet
" over it with the peacefuness of the
dove. There it makes its home, and by
the words withheld and the kindly word
outspoken, we have seen that the dove of
peace is Nesting in the heart. The heart
which is filled with bitterness will give
vent to it in words. It sees nothing
bright or beautiful, because it looks
through a clouded vision. Words are a
pretty good test of temper and habit of
thought. AS Ito the pure all things are
pure" SO as the malicious and ill-tempe ed
all things are black, unlovely and of illre:
pute. Words are the signs of thought, and
ifthe thoughts besweet and good the words
will be kind and gentle, free from malice
and unchartableness. Therefore, by our
words do we proclaim what we are, the
good fairy dropping diamonds from her
mouth, or the evil fairy dropping toads.

A Fool ONCE MoRE-For ten years my

complication of ailments that no
doctor could tell what was the matter

Something About "Roots and Yarbs."

The gathering of roots and herbs for
medicinal purposes gives employment to
many persons in rural districts through
out the country. A Cincinnati reporter
lately interviewed" an old herb collec-
tor, and the following is q portion of the
mans account of his business, with
therapeutical observation interlarded:
"YalIer root, or golden seal is worth
seven cents o pound. 1t is used tor
maxim washes for sore eyes and mouth.
Burwane root is used in maxim ager
medicine; it is hard to git, and brings
eight cents pound. Butternut bark
brings as high as three and four cents;
that's what yer physickin' pills is made
of; list bile it down till it gifts thick like
paste, and then roll it into yer pills; it
is also used for dyeing purposes. Hoar-
hound is used in making cough syrup;
it brings eight cents pound, although
it is plentiful; some places it grows so
thick yer can NOW it with scythe.
Another herb is lobclia, and I git 10
cents a pound fur it, but the price is
falling. II yer ever want to git rid OF
what's inside of yer, jist make tea Of
lobelia leaves, and I'll bet my team Of
hosses out there it'll accommodate yer.
I bought in good many Indiana turnips.
this Fall, and I got eight cents pound
fur 'em. They are used in cough medI'
cines. Silk.weed root is used in ager
medicine, but it is scarce in my part OF
the country; it is worth 10 cents pound:
Pennyroyal and pepperment brings 10
cents pound, but when dry it takes heap
to make pound. There are good many
kinds of bark used. There's white oak
bark, the best thing in the world to
check the bowels, where it is made into
syrup. Yellow poplar bark used with
wild cherry bark, prickly ash, dog-w
bark, and wahhoo, is good for consump'
ton. Slippery elm bark is ground up
and used for poultices good to take out
fever; it's worth 10 cents pound
Then there's elder bark take it, bees
wax, mutton taller, and a leetle rosln,
and it makes the best kind of salvc for
cuts. Bone set is an herb that grows
about three feet high, with leaves of a
milky color; it generally grows in old
pastures; it is used for colds, and is
worth s cents pound. Old field bal
sam looks good deal like boneset, only
it don't grow so high it is used for the
same purpose. I've sold lots of catnip
to these druggists, but what it is used for,
more than to nourish babies with, l
don't know. 1 sell these fellows here
all sorts of roots and herbs, even to null
len and plantain leaves, which they
make salve out of. Why, even these
old gypsum weeds bring 8 cents pound,
and even sunhower seeds. Why, a
couple of years ago l sold two bushels of
suuaower seeds for S2l. They buy
pumpkin and watermelon seeds. also,
ter make kidney medicine out Of"

him. I screwed my courage up and be-
gan to undress-but [ remembered the
landlords words, that the stranger was
an "ugly customer when he was riled,"
which made ME desist. The thought
struck me that might manage 70 lie on
the floor, but a moments examination
settled the question in the negative, for
the floor was entirely bare, and the air
blew very cold through the wide chinks
in the planking. I cast my eyes to the
ceiling, and noticed for the first time that
heavy beam, studded with numerous
hooks, ran through the apartment; but as
I was not bird and could not perch
there, this discovery was of little use to
me.
Half an hour passed away in this seat
of indecision. I stole cautiously TO one
of the windows and gazed on the beauti-
full city bathel in the light of the moon.
How quiet and calm everything looked |!
But the air felt fresh and cool, and |
closed the window and resumed my seat
in the chair. l then found myself wo1l-
deriug what ayocation my friend followed.
l suddenly cast my eyes on a heap OF
clothes which lay on trunk, covered
over with a handkerchief, no doubt be-
longing to the sleeper. My curiosity got
the better Of my politeness, and before !!
scarcely knew what ! was about, / found
myself examining his apparel. The
handkerchief which covered them was a
coarse cotton one, and his clothes of
coarse homespun and were such as are
usually worn by drovers. My compan-
ion, then, was evidently drover-a rough
class of men who usually stand upon very
little ceremony.
Partly undressed as 1 was, l began to
feel very cold-but before venturing into
bed determined to try an experiment to

pend largely upon the manner in which Courts
of Justice administer the law. y Judge, there

II is an office which ever should be separated
from them. and thus kept pure and mcontani-
mated BY political bias, or influences OF any
character which might affect its purityor indie
pendence \ sorry day it will be 10 any peo-
pie when the ermine i made the reward OF po-
