Changed Her Mind,

George Bovard is the name Of young
Methodist minister who attended the
annual conference of the M E. church
at Mercer a couple of years ago. While
there he and young lady teacher Of the
Soldiers Orphan school, located in
Mercer, fell in love with each other. Her
name was Clara Shaffer. He was about
to start for India to Christianize the
heather, A correspondence was kept up
between the two, and he wanted her to
come 10 him, be married, and sssist him
in his labors. lie had no money tc
pay her expenses, and she
had none. In this emergency
a few months ago she made con6dante
of "Dick" Wright, a heavy clothing
merchant of Mercer, and he being big
hearted man with generous impulses,
offered to supply her with what money
she needed to reach her far off lover.
She gladly accepted his offer, and at
once began her preparations for the long
Journey. "Dick "and Miss Shafer were
thrown much together for while, and
about the time she was ready to start he
was deeply in love with her himself,
But he said nothing, and she started for
New York with enough Of Dicks"
money in her pocket TO take her TO
India,
Two or three days after her departure
he grew respondent, and chided himself
for having given away his chance for
marrying Miss Shaffer himself. A
thought struck him, and that was TO fol.
low her, and, II possible, overtake her
before she boarded steamer in New
York for distant India. He acted
promptly on the thought, took the cars,
reached New York, and found the YES
sci on which she was TO sail. Miss
Shaffer was already on board; he made
known his affection, asSed her for her
hand for himself, was accepted, and the
two returned to Mercer few days ago
as man and wife.
The outcome is little rough on the
young minister who is wrestling with
superstition aud idolatry in the jungles

Words OF Wisdom.

A man OF courage never lacks
weapons.
Half the ills we hoard in our hearts
are ills because we hoard them.
Without the company Of fools man
of wit would often be embarrassed.
A man who cannot mind his own
business is not fit to be trusted with the
kings.
1t is as easy TO draw back a stone
thrown with force from the hand as to
recall word once spoken.
No man is born wise; but wisdom
and virtue require tutor; though we
can easily learn to be vicious without a
master.
No man possesses genius 30 COM
manding that he can attain eminence,
unless subject suited to his talents
should present itself, and an opportunity
occur for their development.
Turn the point OF thy curiosity upon
tAHself and thine own affairs, and thou
shalt within doors find matter enough
for the most laborious inquiries.
The cause Of virtue and liberty is con-
fined to no continent or climate. II
comprehends, within its capacious
limits, the wise and good, however dis
persed and separated in space and dis
tance.

Potatoes Preserved.

The great drawback in the past in the
way ofan extended export trade Of po-
tatoes from this country has lain in the
fact that in ocean voyages the vegetable
is susceptible to sweat and rot, and on
arrival the losses from this cause are
often found to counterbalance the profit
made on the intact part of the cargo.
This inconvenience seems to be over
come by the recent invention of a
machine for pressing and preserV-
ing potatoes in such manner
that they may be dried and
kept for number OF years in any cli-
mate. 1t is said that no oxidation or
fermentation takes place in the process,
and that often the potatoes after they
20 through the entire process retain to a
great extent their natural taste and
original freshness. We understand that
shipments of these potatoes made to
England recently, more particularly
those from California, have commanded
earnest attention. and that the demand
for them largely exceeds the present
supply. 1t is claimed that in the opera.
tion of curing no chemicals are needed,
everything being done by simple
machine, which is capable Of pre-
serving six hundred bushels of
potatoes in twenty-four hours. The
machine not only presses the potatoes,
but lays them on tray in concave
form with the hollow side down. After
the pressure they are put into drying
apparatus, where they remain for two
hours, then they are ground into coarse
meal resembling cracked rice, The first
shipment OF preserved potatoes TO Liver
pool brought the handsome sum Of $l6O
per ton more than all expense of ship
ment Last year about twenty tons
were shipped by one San Francisco
merchanl which brough, forty-fve
English shillings per hundredweight or
at q rate Of Gl.50 per bushel for green
potatoes. This surely would leave a
good margin for cost of preserving and
profits. Boston Commercial Bulletin,

A Hollow Man,

Joshua Joynes, a man well Gnown in
the eastern part of Virginia as glutton,
sat down to dinner near Onancock, Ac.
comac county, and disposed of bill OF
fare which consisted of fifteen pounds
Of pork, twelve links OF bologna sausage,
souse from one large hog, one large
goose, which the gormandizer had been
fattening for a month, one full grown
chicken, one peck of sweet potatoes, one
dozen large biscuits, one large mince
pie, and six cups of strong coffee.
Joynes sat down to this repast at one
o'clock, and at $50 he had disposed of
every article named, picked the bones of
the fowls, and took a glass of eggnog.
He then smoked pipe, jumped on a
horse. and rode five miles through the
frosty air. Joynes weighs $50 pounds,
and is good-humored old fellow of
siXtV.

Libby Prison.

An Eastern paper says: Although
thousands of Northern men have been
inmates Of Libby prison, comparatively
few are acquainted with the history OF
the now memorable building, constant
ly pointed out to persons visiting Rich
mond. The former military jail was
lately sold at auction, and brought but
S6,725, although the auctioneer pro.
nounced its associations so precious in
the North that, il It were pulled down,
every one of its 100000 bricks would
sell for a dollar apiece. The purchaser
was James T. Gray, a Richmond capi-
talist, who has rented it to +. M Boy
ken to be used as tobacco factory, as
it has often been before. The building,
l40 feet front and l05 deep, was put up
fifteen or twenty years before the war by
James Libby, and occupied by him and
his sons as a grocery and ship chandlery
within short time before the breaking
out of the civil war. Their sign re,
manned on the building until 1863, and
is probably remembered by many of
the Union soldiers immured within its
dTeMy walls. The elder Libby, who
accumulated a large fortune, lived on
what was called Church hill, near the
famous s.. Johns church, in which
Patrick Henry delivered (March, I775)
his celebrated "Give me liberty or
give me death harangue. The hill
overlooking the James river has been
turned into n park since the war and
named Libby Hill park. Libby was not,
as is commonly thought, the first
military prison in Richmond. The
first was large frame structure
that had been employed to house
negroes previous to their sale.
1t was in Lumpkin's alley, and got the
name of Castle Goodwin, but having
proved inadequate for its military pur-
poses the prisoners of war were re-
moved TO the larger structure on the
dock, which has just been sold. Not one
of the Libby prison officials is now, it
is said, in Richmond, though a number
of men who guarded it are still there
Major Turner, its commander, was one
of the youngest men in the Confederate
service. When Virginia had seeded,
he left West Point, where he was then a
cadet, and went South. Before Rich
mond had fallen he fed from
the city, believing that he would
be slain by the soldiers OF
the victorious army, and afterward
went to Mexico, where he entered the
service of the ill-fated Maximilian.
After the execution of the Austrian
archduke, Turner fed back to his native
land. studied dentistry in New Orleans
and has for some years been practicing
his profession in Mississippi. He could
not believe for long while that his life
would be safe where he was generally
known, and it is said that he still thinks
he would be killed by some of the quon-
dam prisoners if he should come North.
Libby looks very much as it did during
the war, though the bars have been
removed from the windows, and some
of the inner partitions have been taken
down. 1t is 80 interesting relic of
history that it should be carefully
reserved.

Waiting.
With waiting and wishing our courses we pavei
We wait Tor the port ss We battle the wave;
lis waiting forever from cradle to grave.
Waiting for morn, 60 serene in it, light;
Waiting Tor MONDAY, so brilliantly bright
Waitins at eve for repose in the night,
Waiting for zcphyrs in springime that blowj
Waiting Tor summer and flowers that growi
Waiting for winter and swiit-iRlling snow.
Waiting is over the bosom's refrain,
In moments OF pleasure and moments OF pain !;
Waiting though stricken again and again.
Waiting in childhood Tor youths joyous timei
"I'm waiting" says Youth, but I'll certainly

The top Of the ladder on reaching my pnme."

Find rest on calmer a happier day,
When age shall reievelrOm the worrying fray,
Waiting whom fortune sheds brightly her

When choice are the pleasures the pathway

Waiting in poverty, anguish and gIiei
Waiting for heaven 10 send us relici,
Telling the heart that the trial is briel.
Aye, waiting for joys that will never appear
Waiting for voices wenever shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near
Waiting when SHINING and worn in the strife,
With pomtent throbbiDgs tho bosom is rife,
Waiting the dawn ol a holier life.
Waiting at last for the spirits release;
Waiting rest In the dwelling OF peace,
Where waiting and longing forever will cease

were admitted having unmistakable evidence of n
previous attack. 1t may, therefore, be safely
assumed that not one person in million is sus-
ceptible of taking the disease a second time, no
matter how light the previous attack may have
been. From the foregoing history, it Is possible
to conceive the existence of community in which
small pox could not be propagated. because every
individual had already suffered from the disease.
And secondly, we may also conceive the posi-
bility of mitigating the viruence of the disease
rs to diminish or destroy its fatality, in which
case every one might be submitted to its operation
without danger either to life or health. Scientific
medicine has sought to diminish the mortality
from smallpox in two ways: Then follow long
succession of experiments.
1st BY modifying the condition of the recipi-
ents of the poison germs and I'd, by modifying
the virulence of the poison germ itself.
The proof is complete. Vaccination is, in real
ty, small pox deprived of its virulence and when
every individual is vaccinated, the condition pro
posed in this article will have been realized. Once
vaccinated efficiently the danger of taking small
pox is reduced to one in Million and the posi-
bility of an epidemic is destroyed.-E1

There are no abnormal sounds and the hearts
action is smooth and regular, the pulse ranging

that he placed i'll when being examined.
have no doubt but that any powerful mental emo
ton, such the long continued anxiety III his
case would produce ntermittance of the pulse
occasionally, and that this fact would to casual
observer or to party who wished to make little
capital for brnh"m give them basis to work
upon.

symptoms he may have had, they were merely
functional and not depending upon either iniiama-
tions of an acute chronic character or struc-
tura LESSONS. Respectfully JNo. S. McGREw.'
