If the idea is not too horrible for express
sion, made itself national character
istic? I think that in England there
has been great reform made in this
respect; that among the higher classes
the Old ways of evil language have been
materially changed, and the social at
mosphere purified OF at least so much
that was Geplorable Cannot the gen.
tlemen Of American society quietly, by
individual, not associated action, break
the fetters of way or habit which is
nothing but evil? Aud if they herald
the way, the influence on ali others
may be such as that out of the depth of
its degradation, American speech may
become clean, and such. as men may,
in calm moments, think of it without
horror. 1 commend the suggestion to
the quiet thought of the we'll bred men
who desire to fill the complete standard
of a gentleman in all things. The wrong

GREELEY OUTDONE IN PoLITENEsS.
Before the days of railroads Greeley
left Utics one morning in stage coach.
His only fellow passenger was gentle
man of prepossessing appearance, with
whom he fell into conversation.
After awhile the stranger drew cigar
case from his pocket and offered its con-
tents to Mr.. Greeley for him TO take
from it cigar. He declined the polite
offer, and the conversation was resumed.
Presently the gentleman, taking cigar
from the case. put it in his mouth, and
returned the ease to his pocket. While
they were talking he abruptly but
courteously remarked to Mr.. Greeley:
II hope, sir, you have no objection to
q cigar"
"None in the world" answered Gree
ley, "when it is not lighted
"Oh," replied the gentleman, 81 had
not the remotest thought of lighting It'll"
Then and there" said Mr.. Greeley,
laughing, was the only time 1 ever
was beaten in politeness. / afterwards
ascertained that my victor was the fa~
nous Capt! Sherman, of Lake Cham
plain."

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated coaaaterJeited. This is es-
pecially true of a family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy insitdtedis of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world THAI Hop Bit
ters was the purest, best, and most valuable
family medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the notices in
which the press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of 81. B., and in every
way trying to induce suffering invalids to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make
money on the credit and good name of Fl. B.
Many others started nostrums put up in SINH
lar style to II. B., with variously devised
names in which the word Hop" or "Hops''
were used in way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word Hop or Hops in their name
or in any way connected with them or their
name, are limitations or counterfets. Beware
of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or clus-
ter of green Hops on the white label. Trust
nothing else Druggists and dealersar warned
against dealing in limitations or counterfeits.

ed with the determination of perform
ing the un paraleled feat of crossing the
Pacific single. banded IN common SAIL
ing boat. The cutter, for she was little
more, was named the Pacific, and was
covered III all. with the exception of q
couple Of matches, one amidships and
one SIT. The fore part was used mostly
for the water casks, which were filed
with salt water as the fresh was used
up, and the after part was used as
kitchen, cabin and sleeping room. He
crossed the line on September 29th. His
principal discomfort, he said, had been
the too familiar habits of the sharks,
which every night came humping the
boat with their ugly snouts. To rid
himself of them he made q harpoon
out Of q boat hook and succeeded in
rendering them SO shy that by propping
up his shirt at night in the place where
he usually sat by day he was enabled to
take his rest comparatively undis-
turhed.
On the 14th of December, being then
to the south of the Friendly Isles, q
heavy sea broke over the boat and ca o.
sized her. He went backward into the
water and it was an hours hard work
with the aid of floating anchor"
that he was enabled to right the dory.
No sooner was she righted than another
heav7 sea capsized her second time
Again he righted her and passed the
night in bailtng and the day in making
things as shipSsbape as possible. By
the Goth of December he had got things
under way again and was enjoying
pleasant weather, when the boat was
pierced by swordfish.
On Christmas Day he found himself
near Hunter Island, q barren rock, with
all his instruments gone and nothing
left of his provisions except twelve
pounds of corn meal, two quarts of al
cOhOl and fifteen gallons of water. He
then tried to make for New Caledonia

A. PLEA FOR FREE TRADE.-Ex-
Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, prom
inent Democratic aspirant for the presi-
Dental nomination, expresses himself
against tariff for protection. In re-
cent interview he is reported as follows:
81 think that q tariff in excess of a
revenue standard is not right When
we go beyond that it is simply taxing
one man for the benefit of another. If
l am protected manufacturer and you
consumer, you pay tribute to me, and
not to the government. The tariff is
the leading national issue, because it
lies at the foundation of our system OF
revenue, and it will continue to he until
it is settled on constitutional basis of
tariff for revenue. Incidental exc
penses are burden that necessarily
goes with that mode of taxation. Aside
from the burden of government, free
trade is true doctrine. Even protec-
tionists admit that tariff should not be
levied for protection merely"

He recalls the songs she has sung for
him on star lit nights, the books they
have read together in rainy weather,
the walks and drives, the wanderiDgs
in the garden, the rows on the blue

in his uncle's trim little yacht, the
flowers she has worn and given him
afterwards, occasionally, the tender care
she bestowed on him when an invalid,
all her pretty ways and smiles.
He thinks of these, but then he thinks
of other things-Of her variable moods

parent insensibility to his alteration !;
her cutting retorts, that surely she could
not have made il she had loved him.

LIGHT.
From the quickened womb of the primal
gloom.
| The sun rolled black and bare,
Till woye him q vest for his Ethiope breast,
| OF the threads of my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose on its airy spars.
| I penciled the hue of its matchless blue,
And spangled it round with stars.
I painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
And their leaves ofliving green,
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Edens virgin queen;
| And when the fiends art in the trustful heart
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere Of the first born tear
| To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that burst on world ac-
cursed,
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Ark's lone few tried and true.
Come forth among the dead;
With the wondrous CLEANS of my bridal beams
I bade the terrors cease,
As wrote on the roll of the storms dark
scroll,
Gods covenant of peace. :
Like pail at rest on a senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadows slept
When shepherd swains on the Bethlehem
plains.
Their lonely vigils kept;
When I flashed on their sight the heralds
| bright
OF heavens redeeming plan,
AS they chanted the morn of Savior born
JOY, joy, to the outcast mani
Equal favor I show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in
darkness and tears,
Feel my smile. the best smile of friend.
Nay, the flowers of the waste by my love Is
embraced,
AS the rose in the garden of king;
At the chrysalis bier of the worm appear,
And, 10 the butterf1y's wings.
The desolate morn, like a mourner forlorn,
Conceals all the pride of her charms,
| Till BID the bright hours chase the night
from her flowers,
And lead the young day to her arms;
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his
lover
| And sinks to her balmy repose,
wrap the soft rest of the Zephyr famed
West
In curtains of amber and rose.
From the sentinel steep by the night
| deep
| gaze with unslumbering eye,
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is blotted from out the sky;
And guided by me through the merciless sea,
| Though sped by the hurricanes wings,
| His companionless, dark lone, weltering bark.
To the haven home safely he brings.
1 waken the flowers in their dew-spangled
bowers,
The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain glow with beauty
again,
AS they bask in their material sheen.
o, if such the glad worth Of my presence to
earth,
Though fitfnl and f1eeting the while,
What glories must rest on the home of the
blest
Ever bright with the Deity's smile?
