Good Advice.

Spurgeon sententiously expresses a
number OF the thoughts worth remem-
ing, in the following appropriate SEN
fences. which he publishes as "advice
gratis"
When you see a man with a great
deal OF religion displayed in his shop
windows, you may depend upon 1t he
keeps a very small stock Of it within.
Do not choose your friend oy his
looks; handsome shoes often pinch the
feet.
By no means put yourself in another
persons power; if you put your thumb
between two grinders, they are very
apt to bite.
Drink nothing without seeing it; sign
nothing without reading it, and make
sure that it means no more than 1t
says.
Don't 20 to law unless you have mott =
ing to lose; lawyers houses are butt on
fools heads.
Put no dependence on the label OF a
bag, and count the money after your
own kin.
In any business Q wade in the
water where you cannot see the bottom.
Keep clear Of the man who does not
value his own character.

Good Advice From q Leading Medical
Professor.

The learned doctor says: Keep some
kind OF a tonic medicine always in the
house, and if any one feels unwell,
make free use OF it. But first be sure
that it is both harmless as well as meri-
t~orious. Put no trust in alcoholic pre-
p~arations; their use will lead to intern
perance; neither be partial to any rem
edy that produces a severe catha1tic
effect, for prostration OF the nervous sys-
ten and digestive organs is sure to fol-
low. The mildest and best medi-
cine aver invented for strengthen,
ing every part Of the body.
and restoring impaired or lost
organic functions to their normal condi
ton, and one which is having an unpar-
slleled and rapidly increasing sale in
the Eastern States, is Browns Iron Bit
tiers. Any druggist will procure it for
YOU if you request him TO do 80, espec-
tally when he finds you cannot be per-
suaded 10 take some substitute. 1t
does not contain alcohol, and is the only
! preparation of iron that cures headache
| and does not blacken the teeth. 1t is a
sure reviver, a true strengthened, and
| the very best medicine ever invented
for permanently strengthening the pull

DOGS aa Sentriaa.

When any one devises something sen.
sib!e every one wonders why no one
ever thought Of that particular thing be-
lore, and on this principle a great many
people, on learning that Russian SEN
tries, on outposts, are to be assisted by
dogs, will pronounce the change exactly
the thing. All harm to sentries, and,
through their death or capture, to the
force OF which they form part, comes
from enemies who approach ~stealthily;
the first shot is almost invaribly fired
by the foe instead OF the guard. Against
an enemy who has but one point 70 Tx
attention on the sentinel who must at
night strain his eyes in every direction
is at a great disadvantage, whereas a
dog living near him or in advance OF
him would be quick to note any move,
ment in his neighborhood and thus put
the soldier on the alert. In the United
States at the present time the dog might
not be of much service to the army, but
il is strange that his peculiar faculties
are not appreciated by private indivld'
uals who require a guard. A dog inside
a house is worth two watchmen on the
outside, for while the latter may be
bribed or surprised the dog cannot De
reached except by some n entering
the house, and before this could be done
the animal would have alarmed those
inside and given them an opportunity
TO defend their own. A lively dog, and
the smaller he is the more satisfactory
he will be for household purposes, wi
scare a burglar away as soon as he raises
his voice; for no matter how brave
thief may be he sees no profit in enter
ing a house where the people are arous
ed in time to fire on him from the dark.
II, instead OF cherishing huge brutes 10
lie out of doors after dark, make night

SUPPOSED to be on duty, the household

A Very Strange Story About Guiteau
~ " Tribune

A Very Strange Story About Guiteau
n. Y. Tribune.
MENTOR, Ohio, September 2l.-The
Rev. w. B. Hendrix, pastor OF the Dis
ciples church at Mentor, said that in the
midst OF the campaign a year ago Gen.
Garfield's family received intimations
from Chicago OF his being in danger.
Being demonstrated with for not being
more cautious, Garfield replied to Hen
dryx: 81 did not seek nomination, and
the Lord will protect me II 1t Is His
will" Hendryx then said that n
very dark night during the campaign,
after the family had retired, a knock
was heard, and Garfield went to the
door. A man there said another man
in a buggy outside, fully six rods away,
in darkness, wanted him TO come out to
see him. "He is welcome in, but | can
not 20 out there" This ended the IN
teryiew. When Guiteau's portrait
reached Mentor after the shooting, sew
ersl persons recognized it as a suspi'
cious looking face they had seen several
times in the village. His last words on
leaving Mentor, said Hendryx, were so
bold that we feared for him. He vas
thoroughly in earnest TO oppose Nor.
monism and carry out the principles OF
his inauguration. The baser element OF
society saw in him an uncompromising
enemy, and he has fallen a victim to his
boldness of speech. These things show
that the people OF Mentor had a fear OF
some trouble Detailing President Gar
field. From the very beginning this
fear was also the measure Of their love,
which was shown in their attendance at
his house TO day with words Of tender
ness for the stricken family, especially
the two youngest Garfield boys, who
felt their fathers death keenly and
would not be comforted for a long time.
