Many people are familiar with the
sentences: Prepare for eternity" and
other words that appear upon the rocks

Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. But
few people know who paints them. 1t
Ii George Mayer, German. He
travels most of the time with his paint
and brushes. He has put 2,7OO
sentences upon the rocks since January,
and says that every one saves ten souls.
He claimed to have saved $40 souls in
Paterson. N. j., in one day. He sleeps
in barns and gets no pay for his work;
but he claims the Lord pays him. He
says as soon as he goes to work at any
thing else the Lord tells him to 90 to

He Meant What Ho Said.

"Do you, then, love me more than
anything on earth?" questioned Clara
de We're, as she raised her deep blue
eyes to scan her lovers fifteenth CEN
tury visage.
do 1 love you, darling? Love you :
Why, j worship the very ground you
walk on"
"Do you. dear? Then 1 am perfect
ly happy" and she let her head sink
upon Claude's manly bosom, and thus
they sat, surrounded by sacred 81
lence.
s-s"Clara," whispered Claude, after a
little.
"Yes, love-"
"How much is il worth?"
"How much is what worth, dear?"
"The ground you walk on"
She answered not; her proud spirit
was humbled, and with difficulty she
dragged herself to the door and told
the footman to show Claude out.-Netc

Copper and Brass.

The first copper mines opened In the
United States, says the Pottery and
Glassware Reporter, were located In
Connecticut. The State employed its
convicts for o period of sixty years,
ending about 1880, in getting out the
metal in the town of Simsbury. The
ingots of metal were sold to the mint
and to the smiths; but at first by far
the larger part was exported to Europe
to be manufactured. After 1912, when
duty of 35 per cent. was levied upon
manufactures of copper, there was less
of metal exported, and more of it made
up into plate and utensils for use on
this side of the water The industry
developed the fastest in the Eastern and
Middle States. In 1870 there were 391
copper and brass factories in opera
tion, employing $500 hands, and pro-
ducing value of SO, 900, 600 in finish
ed goods annually, there being of these
factories twenty-nine in Connecticut,
forty-four n Massachusetts,, eighty-five
in New York, eighty-one in Pennsyi-
vania and twenty-one in New Jersey.
Ansonia and Waterbury, Ct., became
the principal centers of manufacture.
Pure copper is one of the softest of
metals, and is easily rolled into plates
for use. 1t is in the form of plates
principally that it is employed in the
arts.
Sheet copper is very popular ma
terial for boilers and cooking utensils
in domestic use. The metal resists the
action of the fire better than tin and
sheet-iron; it is, therefore, applied to
the construction of many forms of man
ufacturing apparatus which come into
contact with fire, such as retorts and
pipes, vacuum-pans, condensers and
boilers in distilleries, sugar refineries
and other factories. The smaller uten-
sils are formed from the sheet metal
by hammering, and by the process of
spinning up. The copper becomes very
dense and brittle in the smithing proc
ess, and has to be annealed constantly
as the work goes on.
Copper is more extensively used IN
the form of brass than in its pure state.
BY admixture with a certain proportion
of zinc, it gains beauty and durability,
and is generally preferred in that form.
The best proportion of the metals is
two of copper to one of zinc, which
makes what is called eight-ounce brass; I;
that is, eight ounces of zinc to sixteen
of copper in the pound.
Brass is as agreeable metal to work
as pure silver. In thin plates it can be
stamped and embossed in any form. 1t
spins up beautifully in a lathe. 1t can
! be drawn out into delicate wire, and is
so malleable that it can be beaten out
almost like gold-leaf itself for the pur-
pose of cheap gliding. The metal is
susceptible of high polish. 1t does
not rust by exposure, and has a great
deal of the beauty of gold. 1t is the
universal material of which chandeliers
and gas fixtures are made, being sus-
ceptible of rich coloring, bronzing and
silvering by chemical processes, and of
shaping into the most elaborate forms
by stamping and embossing.
Brass is much used at the present
time for CRATE fronts, fire sets, various
articles of household bric-a- brac, and
is coming into large use for Office fin
ishings.

CAPTIVE.


saw a sad sweet face to-day
Pre- sell TO the window pane.
Soft, LIQUID eyes of dark. dark gray,
That lingering looked far. far away
Across the summer plain.
60 sad the cheek, 20 thin aud white,
So wan the childish brow.
That "a sit and muse Tonight
see them IN the pale dim light;
They haunt my memory now.
The flowers were nodding to and fro,
Their rose tipped leaves apart,
While SAM the brooklet soft and low
The childhood SONGS she used TO know,
Back TO her listening heart.
The scene around was wondrous fair.
BY vale and rivers brim;
Soft summer fragrance filled theair.
And still the white cheek rested there
Till the sweet eyes grew DIM
That vision from the far blue skies,
What dream OF hill and dale
Come with those voiceful memories
To light awhile the pensiye eyes
And flush a cheek so pale.
A prisoned heart, in sad unrest
Poor heart, 80 lone and low.
Fain wou q j lift thee TO my breast,
And bear thee TO some grassy nest
Where purple violets blow.
The longing, lingering. lonely look;
The wan, sad cheek so white,
The heart that heard the singing brook,
The ewes that sought the shadowy nook,
Are in my dreams Tonight.

PLAIN QUESTIONS.

Mythical ideas are tanning the public
brow with the breath OF prejudice, ignor.
ance and hu Suggery. Have you the
remotest idea that your scrofula was
created by the use of potash and mercury? !?
No matter what the cause, 3. B. B. is
the peer of all other remedies. Do you
presume that your troublesome catarrh is
the result of mineral poisoning? B. B.
B. Is the quickest remedy. Are your
chronic ulcers and boils and sores the re.
suit of potash and mercury? Medical
gentlemen will not tell you so, but B. B..
B. is the only sovereign remedy. Were
your terrible kidney troubles created by
mineral poisoning? Nota bit of it, but
B. B. 3. has proven to be reliable rem
edy. Are your skin diseases, your eczema
dry letter, etc.. the effect of too much
potash and mercury? The medical pro-
fession are the best judges, and they say
nay, but B. B. B. makes more pronounced
cures than all other preparations COM

Delicate Women.

1 have been using for month or two
in my householy Swift's Specific, the
greater portion of 1t having been con-
sumed by the female portion OF my fam
ily, and with the ,happiest results, 1t
acted like charm on my wife, who had
been in bad health for long time, and
for whom I had paid hundreds of dollars
for doctors md medicines. It began, to
build her up from the first dose. Another
female member of my family took 1t with
equally satisfactory results. It's Gel tainly
the best tonic for delicate ladies that !
have ever used, and bavo tried them all.
I have no doubt that want of exercise.
close confinement in poorly ventilated
houses, sewer gas poison and malarial
poison often produces sickness among
our wives, daughters and sisters, and l
believe Swift's Specific is the remedy for
all this sort of blood poisoning. l know
many of the best families of this County
are using it for this purpose, and l have
never known or heard of any failure to
give entire satisfaction. I have known
the remedy long time. I know it to
be entirely vegetable, and the best tonic
and Alternative, especially for females.

efforts put forth to advance that cause by
those who were in attendance.
A resolution was offered and vote OF

the members at Willis's Chapel and COM
munity for the very hospitable manner in
