Joints and muscles may escape the agonizing tortures of rheumatism if they will but "take time by the fore- lock-" and annihilate the symptoms of oncoming trouble with the benignant and highly sanctioned blood depur- ent and alternative, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters. Poisons mostly consti- tute the ordinary means of battling with this atrocious complaint. Avoid the risk of using these by resorting to the safe as we'll as effectual anti-phlo- gistic and preventive. After expos ure to damp, through drafts and other causes which encourage a rheumatic tendency, wiDeglassfnl of the bitters prevents i'll effects. No surer prevent i've of malarial ailments like lever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague cake exists, and it is, besides, a most genial recuperator of strength exhausted by excessive mental or phys ical effort. Miners, mariners, oper- atives and others whose avocations in- volve laborious work in rough wealth CT out of doors, or close application indoors, find it invaluable.

BY ELlzABETH AKERs ALLEN.

If could know that after all These heavy bonds have ceased to thrall, We whom in life the fates divide Should sweetly slumber slde by side That one green spray would drop it's dew Softly alike above us two,
 All would be well; for should be At last, dear loving heart, with theei How sweet to know this dust of ours, Mingling, will feed the self-same flowers The scent of leaves, the songb birds tone At once across our rest be blown, One breath of sun, one sheet of rain Make green the earth above us twain! An, sweet and strange, for should be At last, dear tender heart, with thee! But half the earth may intervene Thy place of rest and mine between And leagues of land and wastes of waves May stretch and toss betw cen our graves Thy bed with Summer light be warm, While snowdrifts heap. in wind and storm, My pillow. whose one thorn will be, Beloved that am not with thee! But if there be a blissful sphere Where homes souls, divided here, And wandering wide in useless quest, Shall And their longed for heaven of rest If in that higher, happier birth We meet the joys we missed on earth, All will be we'll, for shall be,
 At last, dear loving heart, with thee

The Goat and the Devil.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

"The goat is 8 mischievous animal. The devil is mischievous being. The goat and the devil are related-at least, so some of my countrymen believe D remarked Pittsburger who was born in the land of cakes. "There is an- other similarity: goats have horns, hoofs and a tail, all of which the devil is popularly supposed to wear.
 Scotch people believe that the devil assumes any shape at will, but for some reason he prefers to go about dis guised as 8 goat. In this form he haunts woods and fields, and often in- trudes at social gatherings. There is 6 widespread impression that the goat assists at Masonic limitations, and that the novice rides upon his back. The goat and the devil are so associated that l have known men who were willing and even anxious to join the Masons to hold back solely through fear of meeting his Satanic Majesty on the night of initiation"

How to Cure Fickleness.
Youths Companion.


 A correspondent is in trouble,- trouble of serious but not an un- common sort. He writes:
 "No matter what take in hand, soon tire of it. am an experienced mechanic have worked many years at my present trade but 8 wandering inclination,-a constant hankering for change.-makes it impossible for me to concentrate my energies upon my work. The result is that have never acquired first-rate skill, and conse- quently cannot earn first-rate wages. My natural capacity is good enough, but this fickleness of mind, much as I fight against it, seems likely to be my life- long curse.
 "Can you tell me, as we'll as thou sands of other readers, how to acquire the ability to stick to one thing? If 80, you will do us an incalculable favor."
 Evidently our correspondent needs no homily upon the mischievous ef- fleets of fickleness and indecision. So far he is better of than some of his companions in misery. Now if he will really be free from the slavery into which he has fallen, let him begin at the beginning, and set about ac- quiring httle 6y l1ttle, the habit of acting according to reason instead of lisening to every idle breath of inn pulse and passion.
 There is no jumping into such 8 habit. The very word implies some- thing to which man must habituate himself. The will, like the memory or any other faculty, is to be strength ened by exercise. Let him begin then to exercise his will, in other words to act decidedly, both as to matters in general, and, especially, as to the mat ter of his daily employment.
 He has settled it that his present occupation is one for which he is we'll fitted. Very we'll. Now let him act accordingly, treating all impulses to change as so many temptations to foolishness. What if he has forty such impulses every day? He may still keep at his work, determined to excel in it.
 The gymnast may 1eel never SO lazy as he strips for his hour of exercise; but if he keep at the pulley weights and the dumb bells, his muscles will be strengthened, his lazy feeling to the contrary notwithstanding and the probability is that he will not work very long before his listless mood will have passed away and been forgotten.
 Let our friend who wishes to strengthen his will, follow the same course. What he has to fear is not so much idle impulses as idle actions. His impulses, it may be, he cannot help his actions, like the gymnast's, are within his own power.
 Whether it be mans arms or his will that is under discipline, the re- suit is question only of time and pa- tience.

drove boat up and down the Dela- ware river and even carried passen- gers. It was an ingenious device which he used as propeller. It con- sisted of what were practically vertical oars that were carried alternately through the water-that is, after one set had passed through and was lifted another was thrust into the water and impelled through it. It did the busi- ness assigned for it, but threatened no serious rivalry to sails or the stage coach, although in it was the germ of the idea which made steam applied to vessels successful. It is even claimed that it was while studying this con- trivance that Fulton obtained his first hints.
 When Ericsson was lad of ten or twelve Fulton solved the problem of steam transportation by water. He was not the inventor of the steamboat, but he was the inventor of the paddle wheel, so complete an invention that it has stood the test of seventy years, with no other modification than the feathering of the blades. Ericsson sought at one time to improve the power and furnished 8 vessel with 6 caloric engine. This engine worked satisfactorily, but was less economical than the ordinary coal engine and was discarded. It was while he was at work on this engine that he developed the idea of the screw, which did for ocean navigation what the paddle &C., complished for smooth water naviga- tion.
 MT. Ericsson has the profoundest respect for the achievements of Edison and takes the keenest interest in Edi- sons purpose to solve the problem of capturing the force that is in coal di- rectly and without the waste of ener- gy that now characterizes it. The older mans experiments have not lain in the path of the electrical current, but he admits that in this field the great achievements of the future are to be found.
