OF NOTE.

Nature keeps the ocean tide, and that
is why it does not run away like a river.
To say the good die young is a stand
ing invitation fora small boy to be bad.
When Richard III, was "himself
again. we of course know who he was;
but who was he when he was not him
self?
a young man who wa presented with
eleven Queen Anne pen-wipers on
Christmas, by his lady friends, con-
tinues to wipe his pen on his coat-tail.
A man nc sooner makes up his mind
to send a ton of coal around to a pool
widow than the weather comes yery
warm and charity stays at home.
The best way to discover the north.
west passage would be to pay to a Ne
wark man $1,000 a year to take care o.
It. Everything in it would be deat
certain to melt away inside Of tbre,
years.

The following statement of William
j. Coughlin, of S~omerville, Mass, is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t
the attention of our readers. He SAYS:
I'm the fall of 1876 l was taken with
n violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by n level cough. l soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. l was so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 | was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said | had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. /
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. l was so far
gone at one time a report went around
that l was dead. ] gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. 1 laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but | got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratif.
cation, L commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began 10 revive,
and to-day L feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
ties, and a positively say that it ha,
done o good than all the othei
medicines / have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirel,
disappeared. and | shall soon be able t
go to work." Sold by druggists.

n-oues-Trotter. and Walkers.

j Every now and then there is a mania
for trotting horses. Even the practi-
cal farmer gets the bit in his mouth
occasionally, and likes to a a squirt
in a light vehicle with \ two-forty stem
per, or as near to that as good luck
may throw such an animal in his way
in purchasing from a drove, as has
frequently been the case. In the midst
of this the question is asked. as the
trotting horse of any value to the com
munity" and it has been literally dis
cussed the last few years in our agri-
cultural clubs. The prevailing idea is,
with many people that the fast horse is
only useful to or valued by gamblers,
sporting men, etc. But is this SOP VIZ
think not There are extremesyiQ
everything, and it is a pity thai
speed of this noblest Of animals sh<
be connected with any such thoughSW
this. That il is wrong TO have our agri-
cultural fairs made subseryieEt to horse
races, we admit. No paper has taken
stronger ground against this than the
Germantown Telegraph. Indeed, we
are not sure but we might claim that
the marked improvement in public SEN
timent on this subject was inauguratcd
by us. Certainly we feel that no paper
has done more for correcting public
sentiment than we. Yet there is no
more reason why there should not be
fast horses that there should be slow
ones; and q fast runner should be Gu
couraged rs much as a fast walker.
While we cordially agree, therefore,
with the proposition that rny agricul-
tural society, which makes the interest
of n trotting horse paramount to all
other interests, Will sooner or later be
ruined, we are by no means wiliing 10
admit that nothing but evil comes from
a fast horse. One of the great sources
of human admiration for the horse is
hat he is fieeter and stronger than we.
We care little for the walking horse,
except as a mere walker, in which he
is certainly valuable; but it would be
hard to get up any enthusiasm In n
horse race. We never even heard of a
bet made on a walking horse, though
one might say. it would be rs easy TO
get up bets ON walkers as well as on
trotters. But it is not done. There Is
no admiration there; no enthusiasts;
because there is nothing remarkable.
But we measure the horses value by
the work he can do and hi, fleetness of
foot. These are the legitimate subjects
for admiration and encouragement
Our only objection is that these points,
which ought TO be of very limited en-
couragement when there arc so many
other departments of agriculture TO care
for, are so often made at tito beginning
and end of an exhibition. That's all.
Yet all must admit that there is no
Lrander sight than q race between two
or more remarkably fleet horses; and
il it were possible that they could be con-
Quoted as a nero event of sig t-seeing
at a stipulated price. without betting or
any of the evil effects usually connected
with these occasions, thousands OF
people would attend them where hum
dreds now do, and willingly pay their
dollar or five dollars to enjoy the thrill
ling interest of such an evenl.-Ger-

GUrTEAU shows perfect sense in his
statement that Scoville is a fool IN ad-
herring to his theory of defence in the
now notorious trial. Scoville believes
Guitean to be an imbecile and crazy as
a loon. Guiteau strenuously denies
this and asserts that he is more sane
than Scoyille, a point which many will
admit without argument.
