ENVY may justly be called ''the gall
of bitterness and bond of iniquity;" it is
the most acid fruit that grows on the
stalk of sin, fluid so subtle that moth
ing but the fire of divine love can purge
it from the soul.

IF We truly love our neighbors, we
cannot fail to be kind and sweet to them.
If we are indifferent, all the care we take
of our manners, all our studied refine
ment, all our stylish conversation will be

Do YOU feel that you have lost your
way in life? Then God himself will
show you your way. Are you utterly
helpless, worn out, body and soul? Then
Gods eternal love is ready and willing
to help you up and revive you. Are you
wearied with doubts and terrorist Then
Gods eternal light is ready to show you
your way; Gods eternal peace ready to
give you peace. Do you feel yourself
full of sins and faults? Then take heart;
for Gods Interchangeable will is to take
away those sins, and purge you from
those faults,

been selling DR.. Kings New Discovery,
Electric Bitters and Bucklen's Arnica
Salve for four years; have never handled
remedies that sell as well, or give such

A GOOD life, where sin is resisted and
virtue cultivated, where wisdom is stored
up and folly banished, where benevo-
lence, and love reign and malice and
hatred are driven away, is the founda-
ton of a valuable old age. Bodily
strength may decline, but the purity, the
wisdom, the experience will remain to
benefit society in manner and to de-
gree that can flow from no zeal of youth
or energy Of middle life,

NOT all thoughts are equally true, not
all feelings equally worthy. Wedding
and pruning, as well as cultivating and
harmonizing, are necessary to the gar
den of the mind and heart, or it will be
ruined. And the contrasting colors,
fragrance and stature of the plants form
one of the chief charms of a well-kept
garden, and imply no discrepancy or
contradiction.

WEAR your learning like your watch,

WHEN Death strikes down the inno-
nocent and young, for every fragile form
from which he lets the painting spirit
free, hundred virtues rise, in shapes of

graves, some good is born, some gentler
nature comes.

As THE sails of a ship carry it into the
harbor, so prayer carries it to the throne
and bosom of God. But as the sails
cannot of themselves speed the progress
of the vessel, unless filled with favora-

breathe upon our hearts, or our prayers
will be motionless and lifeless.

CONSCIENCE signifies that knowledge
which a man hath of his own thoughts
and action; and because, if man judg-
eth fairly of his actions by comparing
them with the law of God, his mind will
approve or condemn him; this knowl-
edge or conscience may be both an accus-
er and judge.

IF you attempt to beat man down
and to get his goods for less than fair
price, you are attempting to commit
burglary, as much as though you broke
into his shop to take the things without
paying for them. There is cheating on
both sides of the counter, and generally
less behind it than before it.

The smallest circular saw in practical
use is tiny disc about the size of a
dime, which is employed in cutting the
Sits in gold pens. These saws are about
as thick as ordinary paper and revolve
some four thousand times per minute.
The high velocity keeps them rigid not
withstanding their thinness.

billiard room, are decorated with many
varieties of rare woods, and mantels of
Italian and Parian marble and onyx. A
winding oak staircase, glistening with
oil and repeated furnishing, aseends to
the third and last floor.
To the right, on the second floor, is
Mrs. Morton's. room. 1t is trimmed In
delicately tinted cream colored wood.
From its windows a superb view is to be
had not only of the acres of lawn and
terrace below, but for miles the course of
the river is marked, the Catskills mount
ing up from the opposite bank, while the
stretch of farms and woodlands fer
leagues produce a most magnificent spec
tacle. Just in the rear of Mrs. Morton,s
apartment is that of her husband. To
the left is a drawingroom, whose magnii-
cent proportions would certainly s,ccom-
modate a half score sets of dancers.
Other rooms on this and the upper floor
are occupied by Mr.. Morton's daughters
as sleeping apartments. Mr.. Morton
would probably refuse an offer of $780,
600 for the house md grounds. The
stable in the rear would make a comfort
able lodging place for any two families;
at5any rate a sight of the quarters of the
Eblopded stock contained therein would
lseStd IN envious shock through the sys-
tern of q man of moderate means. Mr..
Morton will hereafter make Nlerslie his
htenae for o. least siS months in he year.

not carry the full democratic vote in
this county. We have interviewed q

and again say that Harden will not carry
the fall democratic vote. Republicans

Washington, July 29-In the course
OF the debate upon the deficiency bill
this oolloquy occurred between Symes

TO party policy in the admission Of terri
tories:
Mr.. Symes--Does the gentleman
.(Yoorhees) know that the five members
of that territorial commission belonging
to the republican party have actively
urged upon the committee ard the house
the admission of Washington territory
both in the forty ninth and in this con

Mr.. Voorhees, will state to the gem

ing this question, presenting as it does
the question OF senfranchisement fol-
American citizens, not solely as a demo-
crat; 1 am in favor OF the admission oil
every terfitory into the Mo regardless
of its political predictions, whether
democrat or republican. The question
OF American citizenship is too large, toe
exalted and too great TO be circumsctibed
by political considerations in my judg-
ment. The democratic members of the
territorial committee have reported in
favor OF the admission of the Territories
of Washington. Montana, New Mexico
and Dakota into the union as states, and
/ don't know where the objection Is IL
considering the measure, whether upor
the one side or the other.
Mr.. S.-Tnere is no objection to CON
sidering il; but | ask the gentleman il
he doea not know from his experience
before that committee when urging the
admission of the territory of Washington
that he is now celebrating on by his ora,
tory that the republican members of TIE
committee urged the report and urged
the admission. and have urged that The
committee should cell the bill up in the
house, both in the forty-ninth and the
present congresses?
Mir vi will say SO far as the terri
tory OF Washington is concerned, thai
every democratic member, as we'll as the
tive republican members, urged the sd-
mission OF the territory. I decline &c
yield any further.
MIR. S.--Dossn't the gentleman know
that the democratic members tied it NJ
With other territories 10 an Omnibus

Nh. Morton is moi Mt

Mr.. Morton is not at all miserly. He
gives abundantly of his millions for char
liable purposes. In 1880 congress placed
the Constellation at the disposal of those
who desired to succor the victims of the
famine III Ireland, Mr.. Morton learned
that no offer had been made to load the
vessel. He addressed q letter to a morn
ing paper in which he said: "You are au-
thorized to announce that a gentleman
known to you, who declines to have his
name made public, offers to pay for one
quarter of the cargo of the Constellation
If other parties will make up the balance"
The proprietor of the newspaper, how
ever, and w. r. Grace contributed each
one-quarter, and other gentlemen fur
nished the remainder.
The Rockaway beach improvement trou-
bles occurred in the summer of 1880. Five
hundred workmen were unable to obtain
their wages because of the financial ruin
in which the gigantic hotel enterprise had
been involved. Certificates of Indebted
ness We're issued to the workmen, but
they were useless to the men, who needed
food for their wives and children. AT.
this juncture Mr.. Morton Joined the house

the certificates and declined to accept any
discount. In 1885 he gave to Dartmouth
college a house and let near Rollins chapel,
for which he had paid So, 500. The gift
was for the purpose of enabling the col
lege to erect an art gallery and museum.
When Mr.. Morton was made minister to
France, Dartmouth conferred on him the
degree of Ii. D.

How to Avoid Contagious.

How much danger every ono runs each day of catching malignant dis ease is very little known," said doctor recently to a reporter for tho New York Mail and Express. 'Many diseases, like hydrophob bia, are only conveyed by coming in direct contact with an abrad- cd surface. In other diseases it is won- derful the extent to which tho com municating particles can be carried. Persons havo takon tho smallpox a mile distant from tho hospital. Scarlet fever is very contagious. A drcss folded up at the bed of Q dying pationt and placed in trunk has conveyed tho poison to family of children four miles distant when the dress was unfolded in their presence after three months time has elapsed. Whooping- cough and diphtheria are probably never conveyed except by the breath of tho patient. Measles is communicated great dis tance and is communicated by the clothing and carried about by persons visiting the sick room. It is certain that many diseases have been contract cd by attending the funeral of some person who has diod of Q contagious disease. Too much care c,nnot be taken in disposiag of the clothing, or disinfccting everything that has been near person suffering with communi- cable disease. After patient has shown the first symptoms of scarlet fever, it takes forty nine days before tho patient is freo from infection, small pox fifty-six days, measles twenty seven days, diphtheria twenty eight days, humps, twenty -ono days and ty- phoid fever twenty eight days.

Hawthorne Leaned On His Wife.

Good cut of evil found pretty illus tration in the case of Hawthorne's re- moval from office. The famous novelist was crushed by the blow, and staggered to his humble home full of bitter disap- pointment. No ono knew him then as ono of our greatcst-yes, tho worlds grcatest-mcn of genius. His wife quietly loft he room, says Con way, then came back with an armful of wool, kindled cheerful fire, drew his chair up to his desk, b.ou ,ht papers, pons and Ink, and then, turning 10 him with a bcamiag face. sail: 'Now you can write our book" The result was "scar- let Letter." and such fame as no novelist in America, before or since, has at lained. It was all due to his oblo wife. Had she repined, and added to this bur den, the world would never have known Hawthorne. -,[ Brooklyn Eagle.

Odd Devices of Photographers.

There are various ways for providing surprising results in photography, things that in ono age would have boon called magic, but in ours recognized re as scientific tricks. The ghost picture, for iustance in which shadowy ghost through which material objects arc visi- ble-is seen between natural attitu los and occupations. That is produced by an almost instaa taaoous exposure of the figuro that IS to do duty as the ghost, followed by full exposure of tho figures and properties that areto appear natural. Another novel trick was shown recently in photograph repro- duced by prominent trade journal, which presented the photographer, seated at table, playing chess with himself sitting on tho opposite side of tho table, whiie he, himself, stood up in the background looking at his two selves playing. The figures were all on tho negative, which WAS produced by three successive exposures of the plate, parts thereof being masked each time by black velvet shutter. Still another trick is that by which person who likes that sort of thing may appear to bo photographed riding upon flying goose, or fish, or any other desired stylo of ridiculous locomotion. This is done by tho subject holding upon his lap huge piece of white ol sky tinted card with the fanci:ul figure drawn upon it. His face appears above the upper edge of the card and seems, ir the picture, joined to tho funny little body mounted on the goose or fl ,h. The statue picture is mado by about the same device.
