KENDALL'S SPAWN CURE

Fremont, Ohio, Jan. 25th 1881.
DR. B. J. KENDALL & Co., Gents:-I think it
nv duty to render you my thanks for Dement'S
and profits which L have derived from your
Invaluable and far famed SPAWN Cure. My
cousin and I had valuable stallion worth
81, 900 which had very bad SPAWN and was
pronounced by four eminent veterinary Sur
geonS beyond any cure, and that the Horse
was done for ever. AS a last resort L advised
my cousin to try a bottle of Kcndalls SPAWN
Cure. 1t had magical effect. the third bottle
cured it and the horse is rs well as ever. DR..
Dick of Edinburgh, the eminent veterinary
surgeon, was uncle of mine. and L take
great interest in assisting his profession.
Yours truly,
JAMES A. WILSON,
Civil Engineer

The Crater Of Mount Tacoma.

Mount Rainier, otherwise known as
Mount Tacoma, in Washington Terri
tory, has been assembled but twice-the
first time six years ago by Hazard Ste
vens and j. H. Van Trump, and the Sec
ond time only last week by Messrs..
Longmire, Van Trump, Bayley and
Ewing. They camped over night in the
crater, amid fIeecy clouds Of smoke and
steam. The rocks in the crater were
so hot that they could not be touched
without burning their hands. OF all
the peaks in the Northwest, Mount Ia
coma is considered the most difficult of
ascent. A Washington Territory cor
respondent, in recent letter to the
San Francisco Chronicle, speaking on
this point, says: Two persons claim
to have scaled the mountain to the very
summit. Notwithstanding their asser-
tons, the story is very generally dis
credited. It is thought no human foot
has ever pressed those lofty regions of
everlasting Arctic rigor. The ascent is
considered beyond the power of human
achievement. Indians who have lived
. great many years near the peak, and
who ought to be personally conversant
with the difficulties and perils of the
ascent, affirm that it is impossible for
any one to reach the top. The distance
is so long, the obstacles SO great, and
the cold so intense, that no person,
however Injured to toll, hardship and
exposure, could accomplish the trip
and return in one day Virginia City

This unhappy state Of affairs soon re-

That Awful Bow,

He was naturally cruel, and he told
al acquaintance one day that be had a
new trick to play on the public, some
thing entirely new. He had long string
and brass key tied to the end of il,
which he said was the instrument of
torture. Over the front sidewalk a
large tree sent some pretty strong, long
branches, making a nice seat hidden by
leaves. Into this, after dark, the boys
climbed.
Now watt" said that awful boy, "till
the first victim comes, and don't make a
noise"
Soon an ordinarily-dressed woman
came along, and, just as she had passed,
he let drop the key on the hard stone
sidewalk, Immediately pulling it up
again.
They both now watched for develop
ments.
The woman came to a sudden stop
and began fumbling in her pocket, and
wondered what she could possibly have
dropped.
She started on, but had not gone far,
before she came back, impelled by curl
osity, and began careful search of the
walk.
Meanwhile the boys in the tree had 60
stuff their fists in their mouths to keep
from spelling the game, and dared hard
ly look below for fear of laughing.
A sympathetic sister came along, and
together they picked up stones, and
turned over all the bits of wood and pa
per and orange peel on the walk.
No money, no key, nothing did they
fiad, and 80 went on to their homes,
perhaps to worry all night; or perhaps
giggle in the tree turned their looks
of ppointment into a cheap smile,
and laugh from the same place made
them have awful wicked thoughts about
boys.
One victim found piece of tin, and
laying the cause of the noise to that, he
was saved greatdeal of worry. But
when she picked it up, and threw it
down several times to test the soand,
the boys nearly fell out of the tree.
A man, when caught, would slap all
lis pockets, and glance around little,
but it was seldom that he was brought
to right down thorough search.
When any one saw the trick, after
searching half an hour, and saying all
kinds of little things for the amusement
Or-the-hoYs, he simply went away hur
riedly. To get out of sight as soon as
possible seemed to be NEST desirable.
That awful boy is still around Beware
or him.-Eugene Field, in Carl Pretzel's

Gems of Thought

lie who tries to prove too much proves
nothing.
Men fear old age without being sure
of reaching it
Some men have the key of knowledge
but never use 1t.
An effort for the happiness Of others
lifts US above ourselves
Girls we love for what they are young
men for what they promise to be.
The whisper of beautiful woman can
be heard further than the loHdest call of
duty.
The people may be made to follow
liae of action but they may not be made
to understand it.
Disputing should be always managed
as to remember that the only true end
of it is peace.
A wise and good man does nsthing
for appearance, bat everything for the
sake of having acted well.
Show me the man you honor. l know
by that symptom, more than any other,
what you are yourself.
There is no trait more valuable than 4
determination to presevere when the
right thing is accomplished.
We should do everything we can for
others, If only to dissipate the thought
of what they omit to do for US.

1t is not till the blVom of fancy begins
to fade that the heart ripens 10 the pas
sion that the bloom precedss and fore
tells.
A woman shoald never accept low
er without the consent of her heart; nor
husband without the consent Of her
judgment.
When you fret and fume at the petty
ills sf life, remember that the wheels
which 90 round without crsakihs last
the longest.
In life it is difficult to say who some
times do yeu the most mischief-ens-
mics with the worst ipteHtions, or
friends with the best.
The man whose soul is in his work
finds his best reward in the wsrk itself.
The joy of achievement is far beyond
the joy ef reward.
The mere wants of nature, even when
nature isrefinsd by education, are few
and simple; but the wants Of pride and
selt-love are Unsuitable.
A beautiful woman with the qualities
of noble man is the most perfect thing
in nature We find in her all the merit
of both sexes.
Those with whom We can apparently,
become well acquainted in few months
are generally the most difficult to right
ly know and understand.
Whoever has contented mind has all
riches. To him whose fOet is enclosed
in shoe, he is not as though the earth
was carpeted with leather.
A pearl becomes red by the nsarness
of rose, but never rose white by con-
tact with a pearl. 'Tis not the lower,
but the more noble, that readily recog-
nize and take home for profit and high
qualities for others.
