How TO MAKE YOURSELF UNHAPPY
In the first place, if you want to make your
self miserable, be selfish. Think all the time
ofyourself and your things. Don't care about
anything else. Have no feelings for any one
but yourself. Never think of enjoying the
satisfaction ofseeing others happy, but rather,
if you see smiling face, be jealous lest anoth-
er should enjoy what you have not. Envy
ever one who is better off in any respect than
yourself; think unkindly toward them and
speak lightly of them. Be constantly afraid
lest some one should encroach upon your
rights; be watchful against it, and if any one
comes near your things snap at him like a
mad dog. Contend earnestly for everything
that is your own, though it may not be worth
pin for you "rights" are just as much con-
cerned as if it were pound of gold. Never
yield point. Be very sensitive and take
everything that is said to you in playfulness
in the most serious manner. Jealous of your
friends, lest they should not think enough of
you; and if at any time they should seem to
neglect you, put the worst construction upon
their conduct you can.

around for protection against the lndians, and
to guard against accidents he carried it un-

such as irreverent people called pepper

came back, the hammer would begin to rise
and the barrel turn over, and presently down
would drop the hammer, and away would
speed the ball. To aim along the turning

after the deuce of spades nailed against tree,

ty yards to the left of it. Bemis did not
want the mule; but the owner came out with
a double-barreled shotgun and persuaded him
to buy it any how. 1t was cheerful weap-
on-the "Allen." Sometimes all its six bar
rels would go off at once, and there was no
safety in all the region round about it, but

From good authority we learn that there .~.. reasonable prosneet that a telepreFAl limo will soon be constructed from San Diego to Arizona City, and that strenuous efforts will be made to have the line continued along the Gila Valley to Maricopa Wells and thence to Prescott. The great advantage it would be to this people is too obvious to need remark.

The public are requested to give their attention to the above circular of s J. GOLD, who has been SO long engaged in the business of Heating, and manufacturing apparatus for it.

 The plan upon which this new ap- paratus is made and operated is entirely new and novel.

 It is constructed upon the most sim pie and yet the most efFectual principle of Heating yet discovered.

 There are a number of them now in operation in different parts of the coun- try, and the results of the trial have been very gratifying to both the invent or and manufacturer.

 The economy iu the use of fuel and its heating capacity is t'uly wonderful, no such results having ever before been achieved by any previous invention.

 It is only designed in this notice to call the attention of the public or any who may wish to secure what the in- ventor says in his circular above,- "ample warmth without injury te health,"-to this new invention whicf probably will come into general use ir all our country homes, as well as in the homes of the wealthy who live iu the large cities and towns. It is a subjec of interest to all who have homes where health, comfort and pleasure are sough after.

In address delivered last week, Horace
Greeley said he thought the worse thing
about working men was that too many of
them felt impelled to spend what they
might save because no special reason was
brought home for saying. Ifall the young
working men would save two dollars
week from the time they are twenty one
until they are twenty five years old which
is about the age most of them get married
at, they would soon find themselves in
comfortable circumstances. 1t was not
by strikes nor by high wages that the work
ing mans condition could be improved.
What is the good of one body of men Or
ganizing for strike, when, for each man
who demanded higher pay declined TO
work if it was refused him, there were
dozen ready and willing to work for any
price the employer might name? And
as to high wages, the very fact that wages
were increased was an indication that the
expenses of living would be also increased
Every man should own piece of ground
that was the first start. Except where
they found a final resting place too few
working men owned any now i; yet there
were five hundred places about New
York where land might be bought at such
a moderate price as it would bring for
raising potatoes alone. In these places
the working men might buy and plant
their shade and fruit trees, and in time
raise up villages. He would gladly see
fifty organizations of working men band
ed together for such purpose, for they
would have an object in saving their
money.

Of all parts of the body, there is not
one which ought to be so carefully attend.
ed to as the feet Every person knows
from experience, that colds, and many
other diseases which proceed from the
same, are attributable to cold feet. The
feet are at such distance from "the
wheel at the cistern" of the system, that
the circulation Of the blood may be very
easily checked in them. Yet, for all this,
and although every person of common
sense should be aware Of the truth of
what we have stated, there is no part of
the body so much trihed with as the feet.

free circulation of the blood in the feet,

1t Injuries the feet to wear air
tight covering over them. India rubber
shoes or boots should not be worn except
in wet and slushy weather, and then
taken off as soon as the exposure to it is
over. No part of the body should be al

abstructs the passage of the carbonic acid
gas from the pores of the skin outwards,
and the moderate passage of the air in
wards to the skin. Life can be destroyed
in very short time by stopping these
little pores of the skin. Thereis one
great evil against which every person
should be on the guard and it is one
which is seldom guarded against. We
mean the changing of warm for cold
shoes or boots. A change is often made
from thick to thin soled shoes, without
rejecting upon the consequences which
might ensue. 1t is a dangerous practice,
and many an individual has suffered
hours of ILLNESS because of it.

Another outlet for the products of our
vast anthracite fields of Pennsylvania is
opened in the great and growing North
west By the North Pacific railroad. On
the 10th inst. the first car load of coal
over the new transcontinental route was
sent from Duluth, across the State of
Minnesota, to Moorehead, on the eastern
frontier of Dakota. The rich country
which the North Pacific is bringing into
close and easy communication with the
Atlantic seaboard has large deposits of
bituminous coal, but DO traces of anthra-
cite have been or are, judging from care

For hard coal PeDnsylyania's fields will

can be sent cheaply from here to the

be carried to Duluth for one dollar per
ton by vessels bringing grain to that lake
port, which would otherwise be compel
