"A BLESSING IN DISGUISE"

45a ADELrHI ST., BROOKLYN, N. Y,
March 20. 1881.
No family should be without ALL
cocks Porous Plaste,s; their healing
powers are wonderful aud their ef1ica-
cy far reaching and lasting. For years
past have seen and known them to
cure and relieve the most obstinate and
distressing cases of rheumatism. kid
ney complaint, bronchitis, neuralgia,
lumbago, inflammation Of the lungs
and throat, paralysis, asthma, spinal
weakness, and coughs and colds. In
my own case they have afforded my al
most instant and permanent relief. My
friends consider them an invaluable
and speedy remedy for all kinds Of
aches and pains. They are blessing
in Disguise; aud no wife or mother
shoald be without them if she values
her peace and comfort aud freedom
from nervous exhaustion and other all
ments. As a strengthening plaster, al
80 for backaches and weaknesses, they
have no equal. I have never vet found
a plaster 90 eficacious and stimulating,
or to give 80 much general satisfaction.
Used in connection with Brandretli's
universal life-giviag and life healing
Pills, no one need despair Of speedy
restoration to good sound health.

Alfalfa.
From an Exchange

From an Exchange.
1t has been demonstrated beyond doubt
that alfalfa is crop peculiarly adapted to
adapted to this climate; it is easily raised and
yields from three TO five tons 10 the acre and
sometimes more, two or three cuttings made
during the season. AS many farmers are
turning their attention more and more to the
raising of stock, and less to wheat growing,
and will therefore seed portion Of their land
to alfalfa. a few words concerning the prepar.
alton Of the soil, the sowing of the seed and
caring for it. will not be out Of place at this
time, when the weather is SO favorable for the
work.
See that the ground is in the best possible
condition for irrigating, there must be no
ridges or dead furrows--in other words the
surface should be as even as possible; this is
exceedingly important as no leveling can be
done after the alfalfa is up. Sow the seed as
soon as the frost is well out of the ground
the writer prefers broadcast sowing and then
harrowing we'll, as the seed is more certain To
come up. If put in with drill, the land
should be plowei in the fall, for If plowed in
the spring the seeds are apt to be put in too
deep so that II rots IN the ground this has
been our experience two seasons. Two inches
is deep enough, and not less than twenty-five
TO thirty pounds Of seed to the acre, in order
TO choke ou: MS many weeds rs possible.
Plenty Of water will be needed the first sea-
son, in order to give it good start. The
thicker the stand, the better quality and
larger yield to the acre, and less waste in
feeding; where the stand is thin the plant is
coarse and woody. II Is well TO sow again
lightly the second season in order to fill up
the bare spots that are always TO be found.
Keep i, thick and the hay will alwsys be Of
iine quality. DO not cut until the alfalfa is
in blossom, as it is not ma,ured till then
Rake when thoroughly cured, and only in
the morning and evening, to void the leaves
falling OF. In this way there is little waste,
and will be better rclishcd by the stock.

Solitude.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and You weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirih
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer:
Sigh, 1t Is lost ON the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
orieye and they turn and go;
They want full measure Of all your pleasure,
Bu, they do not heed your woe.
BE glad, aud your friends are many;
Re sad, and you lose them all.
There are none 10 decline your nectared wine
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by:
Succeed and give, and Il helps you live.
But no man can help you die.
There Is room in the halls Of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one We must all iile on
Through the narrow aisle Of pain.

A Legend of Cologne.

Adelheid Richmodus, wife of one of
the medieval senators who swayed the
destinies of Cologne, died, to all appear
ance, and was buried in the vaults of
the neighboring Apostelkirche. 1t was
said that valuable ring could not be
removed from her hand, and was con-
seosuently inferred with her. This ex-
cited the cupidity of the sexton, who
came at night to steal, and failing in his
efforts to loosen the ring, tried to sever
the finger. Blood flowed; the lady re-
vived and sat up in her coffin, to the
horror of the thief After the first para
lying shock of finding where she was she
passed through the gates he left open in
his flight, and, still wrapped in her wind
ing-sheet, knocked at her husbands S
door. The servants, on looking out,
recognized her, and rushed terrified to
their master to say they had seen her
ghost; but on calmer reflection, Adel-
held continuing to knock and beg plain
lively for admission, they concluded she
was alive, and said so. Richmodus de-
clared the whole trick of their imag-
ination, and said he would as soon be-
lieve his horses were transported to the
attics as that his wife lived. AS he
spoke, the clatter of hoofs above proved
his incredulity rebuked by a miracle.

The Power of Appetite.

With drink, on some temperaments,
one glass will mount to the brain in
stantly, weakening the power of will,
affecting the self-control, and the man
is not the same. The appetite being
then reused takes hold of him and
drags him down to its fearful embrace.
The only safety for such man is total
abstinence; and to a man who has been
a victim, bound by the chords of this
fierce desire, it will be life-struggle,
when at times the old appetite comes
over him like a wave. Let him do any
thing but drink, let him even run-it is
not cowardly to run.
