One way to Economlze,

Many poor man, If required to ac-
count for the manner in which he has
expended his income, would find bills OF
his family physician for medical services
among the leading items. In seven cases
out of ten acute diseases are the result of
some neglected chronic disease. Thus,
fevers invariably result from diseased
conditions of the blood and liver, and
the timely use of Alternative and blood
purifying and cathartic remedies would
have averted the prostrating illness, that
often leaves the system irreparably in
jured. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are the best Alternative and cathartic
medicines yet compounded. Full direc-
tions are gwen for administering them,
together with an accurate description of
the symptoms deman ling their use.-
They will not cure all human ills as
some medicines are advertised to dol but
they will cure the disease for which they
are compounded and recommended.

yer coin and bullion. The treasury
alse holds $500, ,731 silver certificates
the total number of certificates of
this class outstanding being So, ,224,- :
219. The law requires the coinage
of standard silver dollars at the rate
of S2,0O0.000 per month. The cash
balance in the treasury does not vary
a great deal from its present amount.
1t was about $207 100000 on Decem
Der l. 1t follows from this that, un-
less the department increases its
average balance, the accumulation of
silver, which cannot be arrested,
must gradually force out all the gold.
On the basis of the present cash bal
ance, the silver in the treasury on
the first ofnext January will amount
to $50, 100000, or ~ per cent. of the
total cash, and on January l, 1882, il
viii reach Sl09 ,00O. 600. or "a per cent

that Congress should legislate not tC

Parable.

Death and Sleep, the Angel of
Slumber and the Angel OF Death,
were wandering, in brotherly en-
brace. over the earth. 1t was eve
ming. They reclined upon hill not
far from the dwelling of men. A
melancholy silence pervaded the air,
and the chimes of the vespet bell
ceased in the distant village.
Tranquil and silent, as is their Gus
tom, the two bencfcent guardian
angels of mankind remained in affec-
tionate embrace. Night draws near.
Then the Angel of Slumber rose from
his discovered couch and scattered
with noiseIess hand the invisible
seed of slumber, The evening breeze
carried them to the quiet abode of
the weary peasant. Sweet sleep now
embraces the inmates of the rural
cottages, from the gray-haired sire
who leans on his staff, to the infant
in the cradle. The invalid forget his
pain, the mourner his grief, the poor
man his cares. All eyes were closed.
Now, after his task was ended, this
benifcent angel again reclined by the
side of his sterner brother. when
the morning dawn breaks he ex-
claimed, with joyous innocence. the
world will praise me as its friend and
benefactor! O. what happiness, un-
seen. to do good secretly How for
tunate are we, the invisible messen-
gers of the good spirit! How beau
tiful is our silent callingp
Thus spoke the friendly Angel of
Slumber, The Angel of Death looked
on him in silent sadness, and tear,
such as the imm0rtals weep, stood in
his large, dark eye. Alas = said he,
that cannot like you enjoy the
pleasures of gratitude; the world
calls me its enemy and the destroyer
of ITS joys!
%, my brother replied the Angel
Of Sleep, will not the good, on their
awakening, recognize in y6u their
friend, and thankfully bless you?
Are we not brothers and messengers
of one Father2
Thus he spoke; then the eyes of
the Angel of Death cleaned with
pleasure, and the brotherly genii
embraced each other tenderly.

AFTER THE RESURRECTION.



The tragedy of Calvary has come to its
close, and the form of the Nazarene hangs
dead upon his cross. While the disciples hide
in fear, the noble Arimathean, Joseph, goes
boldly into Pilates presence, asks for the
body of the Crucifed, and lays it tenderly in
his own new, rock -hewn tomb. The stone is
rolled over the door, and, by command of the
governor, stamped with the official seal,
while band of soldiers take their station
around it, SO that none may bear the body
away. For thirty hours they watch, while
Jerusalem keeps the feast, and while the fol-
lowers of Jesus in secret weep over the ruin
of all their hopes. The first Sunday morn
ing after the passover begins to dawn, when
suddenly the tomb is rent asunder by an
earthquake, and an angel desce1ds to herald
the rising, as angels had heraded the birth
OF The worlds Redeemer The events of the
forfy Gays succeeding the resurrection are
briefly sketched by the evangelist, whose aim
was not to give detailed history of the
events, but to meet the calumnies Qf the Jew
ish leaders. We see the mingled amazement
joy and doubt that fill the minds of the disci-
pies during the week after the first news of
the resurrection. We are led to the noun
tain in Galilee, where to many hundreds of
his followers the risen Lord appears, and re-
ceives their glad homage. He proclaims the
universal dominion of his cause, and sends
his disciples forth over the world to proclaim
his Gospel, and to baptiae the nation in his
name, promising his presence with them du-
ing all the ages of human history. There the
record of Matthew ends. 1t is left for other
evangelists to present the picture of Jesus on
the heights of Olivet, with outstretched
hands blessing his disciples, and ascending
to sit upon his Fathers throne.

MUM BER is.

IL Is termed, from FIVE to seven Quarts
of milk; while from other cows il
takes fifteen to twenty quarts of milk
or more to produce pound.
AZ the last show of the British
Dairy Farmers Association, the
highest prize was awarded to a Dutch
COW, because she gave the largest
quantity of milk. This producing
great dissatisfaction among the ex-
hiDltors of cows which gave milk of
superior quality, and to show that
they had good cause for this, the dis
tlnguished chemist, DIR. Voelcker,
was employed to analyze the milk
from several cows at the show. That
OF the Dutch COW gave SS.72 per cent
of water, and 2.27 of fatty matter,
while an Ayrshire and Dexter cow
gave respectively 81 and per cent
OF fat, sowing the milk of these
! two last was more than twice as rich
as the first. a's
Had the milk of a Guernsey or
Jersey COW been analysed, it would
doubtless have produced at least
three times as much fatty matter as
the Dutch COW; and thus to obtain
pound of butter it would require on
iy one-third the quantity, of milk
and one-third the time employed in
drawing 1t from the COW and strain
ing one-third the size of vessel to
hold it; and probably only one third
the time to skim the cream and
churn it. Now here is great saving
of time in the manufacture of butter,
and even for a moderate number of
cows it would be a considerable econ
omy to breed and keep such only as
excelled in quality rather than in
quantity of milk, especially for but
ter, and some contend also for cheese
as this would be so much richer and
more nutritious than that made from
poorer milk, it would command a
price sufficiently high to render it as
profitable to manufacture as that of
an inferior quality and greater guam
tity.
Another point as to the quantity
OF milk. Immediately after calving
the COW usually yields her largest
mess, and this goes on diminishing
slowly for several months, and yet at
this time, although the quantity may
not be more than three fourths or
even one-half as great as at first, 1t
makes an equal amount of butter.
HH66i H66Gid b}gitS55 Be tS55 sttheap sttheap ia t6Wsh shi is 1Sdge 6t
her value by that of the quantity of
milk given by her several months
after calving, rather than that drawn
from her few days from the drop
ping of the calf. Change of food also
is known to make great difference,
often diminishing or doubling the
quantity of milk as the case may be.
All the above, and various other
things, must be carefully considered
in making up the points of dairy
cows and determil ing as to their
status A. B. Allen, Ocean Com

The House of Representatives, as
the Presidential election draws nigh,
seems to feel impelled to do some
thing in the matter of the silver coin
which accumuates so steadily in the
vaults of the treasury. 1t is not
certain what to do precisely, but. un-
like Mrs. DombeY, thinks itself COM
petent to "make an effort" Secre-
tary Sherman has told Congress eX-
actly what should be done, and what
u ust be done in the near future,
viz. repeal the statute which COM
pels the coinage of standard silver
dollars at a fixed rate per month, ir-
respective of supply and demand.
But Congress will not do any such
thing at present, fearing the effects
Of positive and rational legislation
upon the voters next November ;
fearing in other words, that the
American people do not know what
is best for them. Instead of arrest
ing the coinage of silver, or of pro-
viding additional means for the stor-
age of the silver coin already accu-
mulated, Congress attempts TO force
the standard dollar on hand into cir.
culation by amending the various
appropriation bills so as to require
certain obligations of the government
to be paid in these coins. The no.
lion that this will force silver into
circulation is simply ridiculous. Ii
cannot have any other effect than to
increase the number of silver certifi.
Gates now in existence, and these Ger
tificates, it will be remcm bered, are
species of irredeemable currency,
since the New York clearinghouse
does not receive them, in spite of the
fact that the Treasury of the United
States is a member of that banking
exchange. If the Senate should rat
ify the action of the House in this
matter, and the President confirm it
the United States government will
be placed in the strange position o
paying its employees and its creditors
in class of money which its OWE
banking partners will not handle
The majority of the House, however
are probably acting upon the suppo
sition that their buncombe amend
ments will be Topped off in the Sen
ate and disposed of finally III confer
en"e committees. Still. the silver
question is sufficiently serious to en-
gage the attention of the public. The
total cash in the treasury, according
to Secretary Sherman's report OF May
81, is S206, ,6l3,5 ,516 81. Of this, S42,-
IT'S, 1870 is in standard silver dollars,
S23, ,577 ,09l 80 is in fractional silver
coin, and "a, ,853, ,5S7 80 in silver bull
lion, Thus, of the total cash SILL
