A Remarkable Cure of Scrofu1a.

William S. Baker of Lewis Vego-
County, Ind, writes to tell you that my
son was taken with scrofula in the hip
when only two years old. We tried
several physicians but the boy got no
relief from their treatment. Noticing
your SCovILL's SARsAPARILA AND STILL
INeIA, OR BLOOD AND Liver SYRUP re-
commended SO highly. I bought some
of it of you in the year 1862, and con-
tinued taking it till the sores finally
healed up. He is now 81 years of age,
and being satisfied that your medicine
did him so much good when he used it,
we want to try it again in another case,
and now write to you to get some of it.

The Thumb and the FINGER.

Nothing is more characteristic of the
novice in gardening than reluctance
to use the knife MANY seem to fear
that they will cause pain, and would no
more cut their pet plants than they
would amputate the limbs of their pet
animals. Those who give proper at
tentiou to their plants, whether soft
wooded, or shrubs and trees. can avoid
nearly all cutting by anticipating the
need of it The shoots of all hard
wooded shrubs and trees are, at first, in
their early growth, as tender as those
of geranium. These shoots of sum-
mer will, by autumn, have ripened and
become as hard as the rest of the tree
or shrub. Take a favorite pear tree for
example,: If left to itself. there will be
found, when the leaves fall, shoots that
are not wanted, but which, as they
make thick and crowded head, must
be cut out Had these shoots been en-
tirely removed or kept short by pinch
ing off their tips in the summer. there
would have been no need to use the
knife. Not only fruit trees, but flower
ing shrubs, can be greatly benefited
and kept in shape, if the owner who
works among them will make timely
use of the thumb and finger to pinch off
the growing points of all shoots that
push where branches are not wanted.
The same is true of soft-wooded plants.
A timely pinching of the shoots will
convert geranium that would be long
branched and ''leggy," into compact
specimen, fit to remove to the window
in autumn. The chrysanthemum is q
capital subj ect for the novice to try up
on, and lea IN how readily the growth
of plant can be controlled by pinch
ing.-Anerican Agriculturist for July.

A Woman of Convictions.

] heard. says New York correspond
emit, of an artist the other day, a woman,
who had painted a large canvas on an
attractive subject, which was recently
exhibited in this city. 1t was seen by
MIR. Stokes, whose Hoffman house bar
room is almost an art gallery, and he
liked it so well that he offered her a
large sum of money for it. The woman
is very poor, and of course was delighted
at the idea of the sale of her picture,
but when she found out that it was to
adorn a bar-room she positively refused
to make the sale, and the picture now
hangs unsold on her own wall. Perhaps
if she had not had such bitter exper-
fence N her own family she might be
more lenient to the bar-rooms. But I'M
der the circumstances she hardly felt
that she could lend her talent to MAX
ing such place attractive.

SCooPING THE UNDERTAKEN. - "My
dear man, said the doctor, as he sat by
the bedside of Wall street Spectator,
''your case is very serious one"

replied the patient.
"That's it, exactly. 1t is my duty to
inform you that You that you may not
live three days"
SIN other words, if the market falls
another peg my broker will sell me out -
''That's it."
"Well, it's best to look the situation
square in the face, doctor. I'm going to
put up more margin, and hope for a
reaction. Bet you 300 that my under
taker is scooped if he has me booked for

That man was a conscientious CHRIS
tan who recently died in Somervilie,
and concerning whom this story is told:
He had married the second time, and
his wife, loving and kind-hearted
woman, was greatly disturbed at his ap-
preaching dissolution. Il believe there
is no chance of my recovery" he said.
She shook her head and burst into tears
The doctor says no, but there is one
consolation-you're prepared John"
Yes, I'm quite prepared. ''Then
We'll meet in heaven" she said. Eyes,

A MAN who was cutting turf near Port
land, Me-, a few days ago turned up
with his spade metel bar which looked
like iron. A suspicious CLEAN caught
his eye and induced him to carry the bar
to an assayer, who pronounced it fine
gold, and estimated its value at S., $40.
The discoverer conjectures that the ignot
was buried in the early days of the colony
to prevent it's capture or by some free
booter who had helped to plumber a

Do the Meek Inherit the Earth7


The eagle plucks the raven
And the raven pluc6s the jay,
To whose voracious craving
The cricket falls prey.
The big fish dimes at leisure
Upon the smaller fry,
And the minnow cats with pleasure
The poor unconscious fly.
The niser skins his ncighbor,
The neighbor skins the poor,
And the poor man doomed to labor
spurns the bcggar from his door.
And thus the world is preying-
The strong upon the weak,
Despite the precious saying:
