"Well, how are you?" inquired doctor
as he stood by the arm chair of his patient,
an old man who was troubled with deaf
ness. ooh, very bad,' was the reply; 81
can scarcely hear sound" "Well," re-
piled the doctor, "you know have often
impressed upon you that you must give up
spirits. Do that and you will get all right." !"
And away he went. A fortnight later he
paid his patient another visit, and inquired
after his ailment. "You don't need to
shout so, DOCTOR" said the old man irasci-
bly,. 81 have followed your advice, have
given up my grog, and can hear perfectly"
A week later the medical man paid his pa
tient yet another visit, and found him
almost stone deaf once more. "Ah," said
the former, 81 suppose you have been in
dulging again" "Well, DOCTOR" answered
the patient, 81 must confess I have, for 1

In Blue Earth county, Minn., is SETTLE
ment of German Lutherans, of about one
hundred families. Their manner of doing
business and helping one another is surely a
success, as shown by their prosperous con-
dition, and might we'll be followed as a pat
tern by other farming communities. Ifany
trouble occurs between any two persons in
this settlement, instead of going to law a
meeting is called, and the matter is ad-
justed A general meeting is held once
every three months, when everything per-
tanning to the welfare of the settlement is
brought up and discussed.

HEELS AND EYEs.-A correspondent of
the providence Journal, writing from Bos-
ton, says: SPY the way, now am on the
subject of wicked heels, want to tell a
story that ought to scare every one of these
pretty little sinners out of her insane fancy.
The story was told to me by one of these
girls who had foot small enough not to be
tempted into the French heel folly. One of
her companions, however, not SO wise, went
one day to an occulist with trouble with
her eyes that threatened all manner of
frightful results. She was already in a con-
dition where reading was out of the ques-
tion and other entertainment was fast be-
coming a torment. 81 can walk and ride
and drive and do anything with my strength;
if it wasn't that my eyes are in such condi-
tion could enjoy so much and now can
enjoy nothing" was her woeful complaint.
The occulist looked at her with his profess
sional wisdom, asked her various questions
and then suddenly amazed her by asking
her to put out her foot. This sounded like
1dO hAOc0 OA0 1oAuihbAJ AO4oO0os AcN ohS
dear doctor lost his wits? and thinking
something of this kind the foot in it's smart
kid boot with the wicked tall little heel the
young lady was SO proud of, was thrust
forth. The doctor eyed them for moment
with stolid face. Then-"Go home," he
said "and take off those heels; keep them
off for a month and then come to me
again and we'll see how the eyes are" In
a month the eyes were we'll and the young
lady learned by her experience and a little
wise talk how near she had came to having
no eyes at all. 1t may not follow that all
young women equally devoted TO wicked
heels will be affected in like manner, but
it serves to show that there is the possibility
and always the certainty that with that in
strument of torture constantly at work in
the centre of the foot where all those deli
cate nerves and tendons lie that are so in
timately connected with all the other deli
cate nerves of the body, there must present
ly come some disarrangement and disease
that may work fatal mischief with the health
and consequently with the enjoyment and
good looks of the wearer."

From the Neao York Tribune.
HOW ABOUT A FOURTH TERM.

The question of the expediency of third
term directly involves the expediency of a
fourth term also. Gen. Grant had scarcely
retired from the Presidential chair before his
closest personal and political friends began
the demand, which has since grown so loud,
for his return to the Office. During all the
years that have followed, the American peo-
pie have been Kept wondering whether he
desired, or would accept, third election.
A single word from him would have shown
them just what they had to to expect, but
he did not choose to speak it. They know
now that he is a candidate, because he
makes uo effort to check the efforts of his
friends to nominate him. The silence Of
years remains unbroken.
Let us suppose General Grant nominated,
elected, inaugurated, does any one doubt
that history would repeat itself? Can any
one doubt that the men who began the
present agitation for third term would, in
due time, begin another for fourth term
We should be told that the emergency he
had been placed in Office to meet was not
vet ended; that his work would be left un-
end of one term. The absurd claim that he
is the only ''strong man" in nation of
freemen would be revived. Let any one
who doubts this, reflect thaHmany men who
are now in office, and will be in office until
March s. 1881, owe their places to Gen.
Grant. This is the secret strength of the
third term movement.) Let it be remem-
bered also that every man who is in Office
after March 4, 1881, would owe his continu-
ance in office to President Grant. 1t would
be astonishing, under these circumstances,
if, with the precedent of third term al
ready set, there were not loud cry for
fourth Gratitude has been defined on high
authority to be s'a lively sense of favors to
come"
Who can doubt that, if all this should
come to pass Gen. Grant would maintain
the same absolute silence be has preserved
for the past three years? Who can doubt
that the American people would be allowed
to speculate for years about his Intentions
only to find at last that he would not refuse
a reelection if he could possibly secure it?
Is any friend of Gen. Grant authorized to
say now that, if he is elected for third
term, he will not be candidate for fourth?
Will Gen. Grant himself say SO? We
think not.
Before the Chicago Convention meets let
the Republican party consider, in all sober
ness, whether they are ready to propose to
the American people a fourth term for any
body. or fifth term, or an indefinite num-
ber of terms. And this question can be
considered without bitterness to the great
soldier. No one can blame him for want
ing all the honors he can get. He is not
George Washington, and there has been
only one in American history. But it is
fair question for the leaders of the Repub-
lican party to discuss-whether, under the
the nomination of Gen. Grant
would be wise or even safe.

HINTS FOR LADIES.

Let your husband return home from
his labors at night, and find the fire out
his tea and toast cold, and you in the
parlor reading novel.
If he tells you he fears his expenses
are going before his income, and pro
poses TO move in 4 smaller house; set
down and cry about it. Tell him that
you always lived IN large house be-
fore you were married, and you think it
is very cruel in him to disgrace younow
in the eyes OF the world, by putting you
in shanty.
If he asks you for money,and hesays,
has note to pay on the morrow, but
promises you shall have it as soon as he
can spare it, tell INN you never asked
him for money in your life, but he had
a note TO pay; and if he is willing to
disgrace himself by letting his wife
wear her fall bonnet in December, You
are sure you don't care-you will never
ask for cent again as long Us you shall
Ut at the end of a few months he fails
in business, don't like sensible woman.
make the best of his mistorlunes, or
help him to bear his troubles by giving
your sympathy, but cry as if your heart
would break. Tell him, by mismanage-
ment in business, he has brought dis
grace upon you and your family, and ne
cannot reasonably expect any of youror
vour parents sympathy.
Hint occasionally before him, of how
much higher position You held in socie'
ty before than since yonr marriage.
Let him know how many dresses Mr..
So-and so buys-for his wife, and how
much better he loves her than your hus-
band does you,
If he has business TO call him out IN
the evening, be sure and fret, when he
returns, about his being ont of nights;
and about his dsliking to be al homo
with his family. 1t may have atenden-
CIV TO make him like home aud the soci
ety of his wife better ! You can try it.
If You have little children to keep at
home, whine every time he comes into
the house about being tied at home.
Then, if he proposes TO take you and
the children out to ride, tell him you
are half tired to death and don't want
to ride. Very likely he will leave the
house, closing the door with force
enough to shake its very foundations,
thinking that you may stay at home
until your dying day, before he will ask
you TO 60 out again.
You must find fault on every possible
occasion and tell him regularly every
day that you do not believe there is an
other woman in town who has so hard
a time as you; aud in return you will
have as impatient and discontcnted a
husband as can be fourd, ard one who
will come home only at eating and
sleeping hours-and you may be thank
full TO see him then.

TEACH YOUR BOYS.

Teach them that true lady may be
found iu calico quite as frequently as in
velvet.
Teach tLat a common school educa
ton, with common sense is better than
a college education without it.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade, well mastered, is worth dozen
beggardly professions.
Teach them that honesty is the best
policy, that It's better TO be poor than to
be rich on the profits Of "crooked whis-
key" and point your precept by the ex-
amples of those who are now suffering
the torments Of the doomed.
Teach them 10 respect their elders
and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect TO
be men some day, they cannot too soon
learn to protect the weak ones.
Teach them by your example that
smoking in moderation, though the
least of vices to which men are heirs, is
disgusting TO others aud hurtfulto them
selves.
Teach them that TO wear patched
clothes is no disgrace, but 10 wear a
black eye is.
Teach them that God is no respector
of sex, and that when he gave the sew
enth commandment, he meant il for
them as well as their sisters.
Teach them by indulging their de-
prayed appetites in the worst forms Of
dissipation, they arc not fitting them
selves TO become the husbands Of pure
girls.

Valley Chief Reaper I!
To the Farmers of Jefferson, Berkeley,
aud Clarke Counties .!

THE Manufacturers ofthis Celebrated
l Reaper and Mower take pleasure i'll an
nouncing to their numerous patrons ana
the farming community in general that
the improvements put on the NALLLl
CHIEF, and thoroughly tested during
the past harvest, have all given the most
perfect satisfaction; thus enabling us to
offer Reaper to tie trade second to none
in the market. We also state that we had
a Reaper trial at llalltown, jefferson
county, w. Va, June %, 1876, with the
"Ohio Champion, Buckley Table Rake"
and the New Improved VALLEY Chief
Reaper" The test was p in favor OF the
''Vallcy Chief" one for the buckeye
Table Rake" and none for the "Champ-
ion." In order to satisfy the community
that we have the best Reaper and Mower
now presented TO the farmers, we are
ready at any time to go before the public
to test and prove our assertions, TO Deaf
any other now in use.

GOOD RULES.

Some one puts in the Interior The fol
lowing Golden Business Rules"
l. Never, under any circumstances,
assume a responsibility that you can
avoid consistently with your duty to
yourself and others.
2. Base all your actions on princi-
pie of right, preserve your integrity OF
character, and in doing this never reck-
Oh on the cost.
3. Remember that self interest is
more likely TO warp your Judgment than
all other circumstances combined; there
fore look well to your duty, when your
interest is concerned.
4. Never make money at the expense
of your reputation.
5. Be neither lavish nor niggardly.
OF the two, avoid the latter. A mean
man is universally despised, but public
favor is stepping stone to preferment;
therefore generous feelings should be
cultivated
6. Say but little; think much, and do
more.
7. Let your expenses be such az to
leave balance in your pocket. Ready
money is friend in need.
8. Avoid borrowing aud lending.
0. Wine drinking and cigar smok
ing are bad habits; they impsir the
health aud pocket, and lead to waste
OF time.
10. Never relate your misfortunes,
and never grieye over what you cannot
prevent.
IL. Cultivate promptness in deciding
upon matters that come before you,
there are few objects more disagreeable
and ve1atious than an undecided, yocil-
lating mar Consider thoughtfully, but
decide promptly.
II. Never break a business engage
mept of any kind, if it is possible to
meet IT, Let nothing cause you TO be-
come careless of business etiquette, IN
tegrity and promptitude.
l3. Let truth and an unwayering
faith in God underIie all motives and
actions.
