In order to C Ii a long life and
a green old age, somebody has said,
and no one will dispute, bodily vigor
should be sustained by regular, sys-
tematIc exercise, avoiding all sudden
strain and prolonged cxertion as
much as possible. Especially is this
true of running, lifting, climbing,
etc. And labor, while desirable in
moderation, should never be pro-
longed till it produces exhaustion.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in tho life of tho individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and tho agency whereby the
good health has been attained is grateful
ly blessed. Hence it is that so much is
heard in praise Of Electric Bittcrs. So
many feel they owe their restoration to
health TO the use of tho great Alternative
and tonic. If you arc troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely
find relief by use of Electric Bitters,

Precious Stones OF Commerce.

Geology has been a revelation to
mankind, and has told us wonderful
things of the past history of the
earth; but geology has secrets Of its
own that arc as hidden from compre.
hension rs tho atmosphere of the
moon or the belts of Saturn. Ger
tain things have been done, says the
geologist, through volcanic action or
the agency Of fire, and that is as near
as he can come to it; so that, after
all, we see effects, but know little or
nothing Of causes. .
There is a rock known as amygda-
loid, one of the igneons' rocks, which
in some of the gigantic TRANSFORMED
tions4of nature, we will say in cool
ing from a melted state, formed
within itself cavities, from the size
of a marble or bead to that of the
closed hand. Now, as nature abhors
a vacuum, she sets to work to fill
these cavities, and in doing 30 she
used other materials, and these COM
binations produced some of what we
call the "prccious stones Of COM
~emerce." Exactly how this was done
we cannot tell, but we sec some hint
of the operation in every subter-
ranean cave where stalactitcs and
stalagmitcs are found. Every STU
dent knows that this is the result of
dropping water which contains car
donate of lime. The water cvaporat-
ing leaves a minute particle of lime,
which takes something to itself from
the earth or atmosphere, and in the
course of ages bodies are formed of
a most remarkable character. In
Probably somewhat the same fashion
Nhave these cavities been filled in the
8igncoas rocks, and then comes time
fand storm, and other agencies, earth
! quakes, perhaps, and the rocks arc
rent apart, and out drops a bead or a
bowlder, and a curious man picks it
up, and hammers and breaks it, and
then he puts a polish on it by some
process more or less advanced, and
10! he holds in his hand an agate or
an onyx. Many OF the stones used
in the arts have no other origin, and
are deposits of silica, alumina, oxide
of iron, and other coloring substances.
1t is the color or arrangement of
colors that gives the name, and thus
we have agate, onyx, chalcedony,
c%arneliau, sard, chrystaloprasc, sar-
donyx, and others, all members of
the quartz family, and all having q
family resemblance.
The agate has veins of different
shades Of color in parallel lines.
Sometimes these are very close
together, AS many as fifty to the
inch, but this is unusual. When
there are alternate bands of color
and transparent medium we have the
onyx, but the latter may be obtained
by cutting the stone in a different
way.
Agates are used chiefly for orna-
mental purposes, such as cups, seals,
rings, handles for p~arasols, table and
mantel ornaments, but the material
is SO hard that it can only be worked
by those who have practiced skill.
The onyx was valued by the ancients
for it's application to canoes and
iDtaglios-the first an object in relief,
the latter a "cut-in" process; and
these objects are still made.
Nature produces some very strange
forms occasionally, and agates are
fornd with exact rcscmblances OF
moss and other natural objects and
figures, which are very curious and
often very valuable. - The Greo,

was "Geschwisterliebe, in which the

feldt" was given with vim and dash that
created much merriment. Both dramas

from her watermelon juice with con
siderable success.
But the great triumph OF the ladies
was In supplying themselves and their
servants with clothing. In many dis
tricts all the clothing devices which
has been long supplanted by machinery
had to be acquired again, such as spin
ming and weaving, in all their varieties
and degrees, dyeing, tanning, shoe
making, bOnnet-makng There were
many ladies In the South, before the
war ended, who were dressed, and
pretty well dressed, in clothes which
were wholly of their own making, even
to their bOnnets, their shoes, their
hOOpskirts, their buttons, and their
stockings. A great number of negro
women were kept carding and spinning
and weaving. Wool growing was re-
sumed on many farms, and a great
many wonderful discoveries we're made
as to the dyeing properties of common
roots and plants. Occasionally q lady
would be so lucky as to get a bale Of
unbleached factory sheeting, but it
would not be used for beds. The la
dies of the family made themselves
dresses of it, which they learned to
dye and to trim so prettily that the re-
suit, when they wore the dresses to
church, was triumphant
Leather was a serious problem, but
it was solved in time. Planters
learned how to convert the skins Of
hogs into tolerable leather. Some
ladies even cOntrived to make a very
good backing for their shoes, after
having made the shoes. They learned
even to cObble them, to put on a new
half-sOle, and to use thorns for avis.
At the close of the war all the fabrics
In a house, such as sheets, curtains,
carpets, table cloths, had been used in
making garments, so that in many eX-
tensiYe settlements nothing Of the kind
was left.
One thing was very announcement to
the ladies. They took infinite pains to
make good sewing cotton and thread,
and, although they succeeded pretty
well, they never could make it smooth
enough to use in the sewing machine.
All their sewing, therefore, had to be
done by hand, which added greatly to
1abOrs already too great They bore it
all, however, with admirable cheerful
ness and unhagging resolution, never
doubling the final success of their
cause, until General Sherman rudely
dispelled the illusion. Soon they had
tosprOvide, out of their nearly exhaust
ed stores, for their returning soldiers,
some wounded, some sick, and almost
all ragged and destitute.
Seldom, perhaps never, were a peo-
pie so hardly tried by war before.
None ever bore the trial with more
courage and constancy. We may now
also say that none ever acquired SO
much imperishable good from the trial.
