carefully executed engraving of the new
Standard Oil Company Building, &c
Broadway, New York, which is note
worthy as the finest business structure
on the greatest commercial thoroughfare
of this continent. The enormous granite
pile, 200 feet deep, and almost two hun
dred feet in height from foundation stone
to pinnacle, is entirely given up to the ex-
e%cutive Offices of the Company, which is
entitled to credit for having added soim-
posing and enduring an example to the
great commercial monuments OF the Me-
tropolis.
Business fairly booming! The prices
at which we are making Suits and Pants
to order has crowded US with work in
our merchant tailoring department, and
no wonder, when you can save frsn %
20 20 per sent. Come now, remember
this offer holds good until the present
stock is sold, at Jos. Woerner's.
Who does not envy the editor oil the
Dakota T~HUNDEEEE? He says: Times
being rather hard we are going to take
our wife to the home OF our. mcther-in-
law next week for a short visit, and we
will give our readers n little vacation by
not issuing any paper. They won't lose
much for there is little news going just
now, and we print this week an editorial
upon the tariff which would have appear
ed next week. The only thing we have
had occasion to leave out on this account
is Bill Jones's ad. about n farm for sale,
but that is of no consequence, as he
hasn't paid US anything yet! Brethren,
white paper is too blamed dear to fool
away when our mother-in-law will keep
US q week Tor nothing.

Fall Fashions.

The Autumn number of Strdpbridge Dc
CIotaisr's Quarterly, just received from the
publishers, contains an unusual quantity
and quality of fashion news, instruction and
entertainment for the ladies of the land.
Harriet Prescott Spofford contributes "The
Ice Storm" wich is wel-written and natur-
ally-told tale of a poor but proud family's
struggle with adversely. The eolored front
ispiece exhibits the latest French styles, de-
signed by Janet, Of Paris; this is a practical
fashion-plate. for we see that the number of
yards of materials and the prices per yard
are given in the description of the plate. The
voluminous fashion gossip with its many
illustrations will be source Of satisfaction
to the many readers who want to be shown
and guided along the proper fashionable way.
In addition to these fashion pages, their are
directions for patterns for costume and a
casaque a description of page of floral ball
costumes an illustrated lesson in the art of
draping ON wire forms and the home dress
making article continue its practical instruc-
tions. Bulbs in tine house and chrysanthe-
mum culture are the floral indications that
autumn is at hand. The needlewoman and
the home decorator will find much of inter
est in the present number such as, the art
of netting, stitches used in crochet, pillow
lace, knot embroidery, novel quilt, daisy
mat, and others. Two serviceable articles
are, knitted stockings and crocheted gar
ments for child. Miss Juliet Corson con-
ducts the kitchen page in her usual satisfac-
tory manner. Johns Wife has been making
money at home by raising small fruits: and
after reading her experience We do not see
what is to prevent many of her readers from
acting on her advice to their pecuniary ad-
vantage. Franz Behr's E fin Polka is the
Instrumental piece of music that is given
this issue. The fall fashions in all the vari.
Gus kinds into which dry goods are divided,
are described and illustrated SO completely
and exactly that "a lady who is not able tC
journey to town may make her selections
from the pages before her, and fare as well
all things considered, as she would by shop
ping in person. Those of our readers whC

Grains Of Gold.

Virtue and happiness are near kin.
You never lose by doing a good turn.
Zeal without knowledge is fire without
light.
A grain of prudence is worth pound
of craft.
There is nothing so sweet as duty, and
all the best pleasures of life come In the
wake of duties done.
If man offsnds In one particular. you
may be offended in that one. but to
damn him all over would be unjust.
Think before you speak; pronounce
not imperfectly, nor bring out your
words too hastily, but orderly and dis
tinctly.
In writing, as we'll as speaking, one
great seret of effective eloquencs is to
say what is proper and stop when you
have done.
There is pleasure in contemplating
good; there is greater pleasure In re-
ceiving good; but the greatest pleasure
Is doing good, which comprehends the
rest.
Any work, no matter how humble, that
a man honors by efficient labor, will be
found important enough to secure re-
spect for himself and credit for his name.
The Chinese are the most silent of all
the races of mankind, and account for
this taciturnity on the ground that they
never mind anybody's business but their
own.
Every year of our lives we grow more
convinced that it is the wisest and best
to fx our attention on the beautiful and
the good, and dwell as little as possible
on the evil and the false.
The significance of a human life is
determined by its angle of elevation. To
sweep the stars the telescope must be
directed upward. To make the most of
life a man must have high purpose.
In the species with which we are best
acQuainted-namely, our OWL am far.
says a writer, even as an observer of
human life, from thinking that youth is
the happiest season, much less the only
happy season.
The best test of eyesight is small print;
the best test of the cleanliness of room
is the cleanliness of the hooks and corn

YOUTH AND AGE.

When am old, these hills that bound
NV life within their narrow round
Will be the threshold of the door
That leads to Freedom and TO Fame
And the wide world beyond no more
An idle dream, an empty name;
But from cares and troubles free,
Its glories and its joys shall see.
The summer isles of Southern seas;
Great battles, glorious victories;
The boundless prairies of the West,
Where red men hunt the buffalo;
Whatever fairest gifts and best
The gods have given to men below
These, heart of mine, these shall we see
In the brave days that are to be.
When 1 was young this narrow round
OF bills glorious world did bound;
Here, on the quiet valley floor.
l dreamed of Freedom and af Fame
Ere yet learned they were no more
Than a vain dream, an empty name;
In that glad, careless long ago,
The happy hours seemed all too slow.
l have been wrecked in stormy seas;
Not mine life's glorious victories;
Gone bright spell on boyhood cast;
No more along the primrose way
/ wander, for my paths have passed
To this sad world of every day,
All, heart of mine, no more we know
The days and dreams of long ago!

Attention. Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is hard one. He is
often compelled TO ride great distances
through mud and rain for a merely NOM
. inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for us to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
If he will only add this great remedy to
his list of medicines, he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
Ellis of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
n. 7. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty, to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit received from the use of your
medicines, y sPERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle of each placed me square on
my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement of the use of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in week 1 was perfectly we'll"
Mrs. Ellen Maynard, Oswego, Potter
county, Pa, writes: "DR. HARTMAN,
Columbus, o. The small ulcers are all
healed, and the two large ones are not
more than half as large as they weres /
am feeling quite well. The people say
your PERUNA and MANALIN are doing
miracle. do not take nearly so much
opium as did before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes I have used your PERUNA and
MANAL1N with good results. In the year
of 1880 was SO bad that could scarcely
walk. used PERUNA and MANAJIN,
and am now as healthy as I have ever
been. l have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. H. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes "Our little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared TO get but little better.
Hearing of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal of good d-the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was tor
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her.

FROM THE QUAKER POET.
BOSTON, August 12-The following
poem appeared in last nights Transcript
sd. J.T.-GREYsToNE AUGUST 4, 1886.
Once more, o all-adjusting Death,
The nations Pantheon opens wide;
Once more a common sorrow saith,
A strong, wise man has died.
Faults doubtless had he. Had we not,
Our own to question and asperse,
The worth we doubted or forgot,
Until we stood beside his hearse.
Ambitious, cautious. yet the man,
To strike down fraud with resolntt
hand.
A patriot, if partisan,
He loved his native land.
So let the mourning bells be rung,
The banner droep its folds half way,
And let the public pen and tongue,
Their fitting tribute pay.
Then let US VOW above his bier,
To set our feet on party lies;
And wound no more living ear,
With words that death denies.
