STAY ON THE FARM.
Views of Man Who Has Tried Agricult
mraI a ncu "a. Rnsiness Lie.

Views of a Man Who Has Tried Agricult-
uraI Well as Business Life.
The farmers life is one mixed with
toll and pleasure. There is always
work TO be done on the fmm-a gate
TO mend, "A fence to reset, an OK in the
ditch, broken door to repair, gar
den to pillow, a tank TO build. a crop to
plant, crop to cultivate, a crop to
gather, and a thousand things to keep
the active brain and willing hands and
feet employed; yet if the farmer wishes
a little recreation, he can leave ais
tools and labor and spend a day or two
in the woods with his gun, or a day
with fishing-rod on the lakes and
streams. 1t is not so with the business
man in the city. His business must &c
on. He can not shut his door and walk
out. If he takes Il day off, he nlcss-
sarily has to put some one in his place.
Farm-life is a real enjoyable life, if
well planned; but it may be full of
misery if not managed with view Of
making and mixing pleasure with
business. Farmers do more hard
work than business men, and usual
~ live longer and harder. Farm
life is made more tolerable by the
joy aud happiness we get out Of it.
The business man has his bills to meet
every month, and is often puzzled to
know how to make ends meet He
loses hours of precious. sweet sleep
over embarrassments that stalk in his
pathway, while the contented farmer
without the fear of being closed up by
the sheriff, takes his rest Farmers
have bills to meet, it is true; but they
do not come like rifle balls from a gun.
every week or two. The writer has
tried farm life and loves it. He has
also tried business in the commercial
world, where no allowances are made
for dry weather, wet weather, short
crops or low prices. The commercial
world has no sympathy with a bust
ness man. The day his bills fall due
he is expected TO meet them; if he is
unable his paper is liable to go to pro-
test. and his business 10 pieces. Those
10 are doing we'll in agricultural
pursuits should let we'll enough alone.
The cities are overcrowded with pop
ulation and poverty. The most indie
pendent class of people in the world Is
that class that have a good home on a
good farm and make their own living.

NAPHTHA SMELLING.
The Latest Female Vice discovered in tn
Metropolis of Culture.

The Latest Female Vice Discovered in the
Metropolis of Culture.
The latest female vice is intOXication
b. naphtha. Ii is not drunk The
fumes of it are simply inhaled, induc-
ing, so the incbriates say, particulars
~ agreeable exhilaration. Not even
hasheesh, it is understood, begets more
fascinating dreams or more gorgeous
visions Of splendor. The girls in the
rubber factories, of which there are
great number in Boston and its neigh
borhood, are greatly addicted to this
novel form of drunkenness. In such
establishments naphtha is use in enor-
nous quantities to cleanse the rubber,
being kept in big boilers closed against
the air. To the valves Of these boilers
the young women employees readily OBJ
tain access, and breathe the ex-
halations thcrefrom, some I'M
lucky accident having betrayed
to chance experimentcr tile
abominablc secret. The notion is SAID
to have been brought originally from
Germany by immigrant labOrers in
petticOats. Now the manufacturers
propose TO put a stop to the evil by
keeping the valves carefully locked.
An overdose of naphtha fumes brings
on historical commissions and other
unpleasant symptoms. The habit,
long-followed, causes swelling of the
face and other parts OF the body, with
dronsv tn follow. and some times eDi-
lepsy. On the whole, it is difficult TO
know which of these new-fangled vices
for women to recommend. There is
ether-drin5ing, laughing gas and tea
eating, beside the naphtha. The con-
scientious pursuit of any one of them
will surely lead TO the lunatic asylum,
You pays your money-as one might
remark-and you takes your choice. =

Longevity.


Scientific men see no reason why the span
of human life may not be extended to a
round hundred years from the present limit
II seventy to eighty years.
The age 10 which persons lived varies in
Old Testament chronology.
From Adams time 10 that of Methuselah
and Noah, men are recorded as attaining to
well nigh the age of /, COO years. The Psalm
st David, however, says: 'sThe DAYS Of
our age are three-score years and ten; and
though men be SO strong that they come to
fourscore years, yet IS their strength then
but labor and sorrow; so soon passeth it
away, and we are goner
This wide margin of longevity, together
with proper observance Of mental, moral and
physical laws, leads investigators 10 believe
t is possible that human life might be made
TO increase in length Of days to a full
century, at least.
Moderation and regularity in eating,
drinking and sleeping are conducive to lon
gevity, and those who observe proper habits
and use pure and efficacious remedies when
sick, may accomplish immense labor with
40 apparent injury to themselves and with
out fOreshOrtening their lives.
Hon. II. II. Warner, President of the
Rochester, n. Y, Chalaber of Commerce,
and manufacturer OF the celebrated War
aer's Safe Cure, has devoted much time
and research TO this subject of longevity,
aud has arrived at the satisfactory conclu-
sion that life may be prolonged and man s
girile powers increased and preserved at
The same time by rational and natural
means. Thousands of persons are living
so-day-enjOying the blessing of perfect
health and vigor-who will testify 10 the
almost magical efficacy of Warmers Safe
Cure in restoring them TO physical potency
and to the normal type OF constitution,
after they had almost given up hope Of
lfe.
After middle age, many begin to lose
heir wonted vigor of body, and thereupon
give way TO inertness and useless repining.
Yet all such have with n reach that which
Doth renews youth and contributes to the
orolongation of life. Warmers marvellous
Safe Cures are in every drug store, and
are now regarded as standard specifics
throughout the civilized world.
The strong desire to attain old age- mean
time retaining the virile powers of body
and minds necessarily connected with
the respect paid 20 aged persons, for people
would scarcely desire 10 be old, were the
aged neglected or regarded with mere suf-
fcrance That is a high civilization in
which age is made a source of distinction.
of all marks Of respect, that to age IS most
willingly paid, because every one who does
homage TO age may himself, eventually, be-

ISOLATED PEOPLE.
The Unenviable Lot of the Man who
Cares for Nobody.

The Unenviable Lot of the Man who
Cares for Nobody.
Men who isolate themselves from
society, and have no near and dear
family ties, are the most uncomfort-
able of human beings. Byron says:
"Happircss was born twin but the
phrase, though pretty and poetic, does
not go far enough. We are gregari-
Gus, and not intended to march through
life in single or in double file. In
pairing time. i. e., during the honey
moon, individuals of opposite sexes
may find it very pleasant. not to say
delightful, to walk apart from the I'M
sentimental world, two and two. But
as a general thing they are ready
enough to rush back into the crowd
when the billing and cooling season is
over. Petrarch would have grown
tired of Laura, and she of him,
had they been condemned to a
lifelong tete-a-tcte in the wilder
ness. and Sappho would have
jumped into the sea to escape ennui.
had she been compelled to matrimonial
solitude with the man for lack of whose
love she made "a damp body" of her
self.
1t has been well said that the vital
principle grows weak when isolated.
The man who cares for nobody. and
for whom nobody cares, has nothing to
live for that will pag for the trouble of
keeping soul and body together You
must have a heap of ember5 to make
glowing fire. Scatter them apart, and
they become dim and cold. So, to have
a brisk. vigorous life. you must have a
group of lives, to keep each other
warm, as it were. to afford to each
other mutual encouragement and conf
dence and support. If you wish to live
the life Of man. and not that of "a
fungus. be social, be brotherly, be
charitable. be sympathetic, and labor
earnestly for the rood of vOur kind

A Novel Bridge lest.

The old wooden bridge. known as
the Lower bridge, at Bridgeport,
Conn, which was built in 1881, has
been removed. and a new one Of mod
ern construction has taken its place
When the new bridge was completed
and ready to be tested, the first test
was made with a seventeen-ton road
roller. The mayor Of the city then
suggested to Mr.. r L Barnum that
the test be further made by having
twelve Of his elephants pass over it.
These heavy animals, the aggregate
weight of which was about ttirty-five
tons, were led down and across the
bridge. The detection under this
weight, and that OF the crowd which
was in attendance, was only one-eighth
