ST. Josenh,s Day.

Yesterday, st. Joseph's Day, was cele-
brated at the home of the Little Sisters OF
the Poor, st. Joseph being the patron
saint of that institution. An excellent
repast was set before the aged inmates of
the home, and it was thoroughly enjoyed.
A. large number of well known charitably-
disposed society people took part in the
entertainment and assisted in waiting on
the aged inmates at dinner. After the
dinner was over the visitors were shown
over the institution, and entertained with
songs, old-fashioned Dances and enjoyed
their day almost as much as did the I'M
fortunates to whose service the Sisters
devote their lives.

SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery of the Cause of Most
UntimelY Deaths That Come Upon
the Community.

UntimelY Deaths That Come Upon
the Community.
The official returns of the city of New
York show that nearly three-fourths of all
deaths are from consumption. When we
stop to calmly think over this fact, it is
really awful. And yet every case without
exception started from small beginnings.
A cough in the morning; tickling in the
throat; thick phlegmy discharge; chilli.
ness at night; difficult breathing; tight.
ness across the chest; these and many more
symptoms indicate the presence of that
terrible disease which, unless checked,
means certain death with long and painful
suffering.
In view of such serious and eyer-present
facts the suggestions aud advice of the
most eminent physicians are of the great
est value.
DR.. John Gardner, one of the most emf
nent physicians In London, says Science,
common sense, Holy Scriptures and all
experience testify TO the benefits derived
from the use ofpure whiskey.h
DR.. ID. ii. Balker says ~ have used and
examined Dutty's Pure Malt Whlskcy, and
find 1t the best | ever tried"
DR.. 5. NJ. Buckwalter says: "Duffy's
Pule Malt Whlskey Is, without doubt, the
inyalid's drink when stimulants are indl-
Gated, and | find all chronic cases require
stimulants, and a large per cent, Of the
acute ones alsO.h
These truths, from the lips of the lead
ing scientific men OF the day, aud con
firmed by the experience of men and
women well known in the community
should serve as a guide for all who feel the
approach OF consumption, no matter by
what path II may come. We do not hesi-
tate to assert that any man or woman who
will use Duiiy's Pure Malt Whiskey ac-
eording TO directions can defy cOnslmp.

Note On Beaded Wraps.

In callingyou attention to
our elegant line of Beaded
Spring Wraps we are con-
strained to make the follow.
ing remarks:
In view of the liability OF
cheaply-made BeadedWraps
to break on account OF the
thread not being strong
enough to bear the weight
of the jet, we have confined
our selections exclusively to
the French handmade net,
made from hard, firmly
twisted silk, beaded by hand,
knotted at each mesh, max
ing the thread extremely
durable and impossible to
ravel, thus overcoming the
only objection to these
handsome wraps.
we have them In various shapes, In black
and a few popular colors. Prices $40 TO $40
each.

A FARMERS VIEW OF IT.

Lam farmer, the son of Il farmer,
and tie father of farmers. l have
been all my days scratching poor
mans back in an effort to make liv-
ing off my farm. 1 am sixty years of
age. My form is bent, my hands are
hard, and my eyes dim. own a hun
dred and sixty acres of as rich, well
watered and wooded land as there is
in Ohio. L say have worked hard to
make a living. L have done something
more-I have raised and, in way, ed
ucated three sons and one daughter.
l suppose l could have made the living,
a poor sort of living, for myself and
family out of the farm, but this at
tempt to school my boys has left me
very poor. Fortunately, 1 kept out of
debt, so that what have, l have; and
if L were younger and had less rheu-
matism, could yet get miserable liv-
ing by farming. l could not do this
and keep up the place. 1t has got to
go.
Now, while this is my history as
farmer, that of my neighbor Morton is
quite different. He sold out to the
Hormish Dutch, went to the county
seat, and put his money in a national
bank. He is now living in what. to me,
appears palace; and it certainly is
compared to my poor house. Morton
drives an elegant carriage, and is ac-
counted wealthy man. Nor is my
condition that of Tom Shiply, also a
neighbor, who sold to the Dutch. He
went to Middleburg, and bought a
store. He is not so rich as Morton, but
he has done well. know three others,
in our county, who got out of farming
into some other business, and all to
their own advantage. There is no
money in agriculture. There never

as if we were getting rich, when land,
bought at $125 an acre from the gov

and then went on bouncing up until it
reached a 800. But this increased
value did not come from what we raised
on the lands, but from immigration;
that made the lands valuable. For
thirty years this value has been reced-

In system, platform. tariff or plan,
OF preserving the peace or selecting the man,
In ways means, revenue, lurking stin,
Find it somewhere you must and will,

And that's the reason, beyond doubt,
That party breaks down well as wears out.

That it was a wonder and not hing lessi

Fathers and mothers dropped away,
Children and grandchildren where were they?
But the party stood stout oak
That couldn't be split, nor bent, nor broke.
Sixty -eight:-it came and found
The republican masterpiece strong and sound.
Sixty-eight increased by four,
Its numb increased by thousands more,
And gave another four years lease,

That it was party that couldn't break down.

How it went to pieces all at once.
