There are places, not secret, where Virtue


has birth,
Where Charity dwells on this beautiful


earth;
Where mercy and kindness are Joined hand


in hand,
And p.ty's tear falls at the warm hearts


command.
There are doors that the least gentle knock


will unbar
And others that swingon their hinges ajar,
Giving egress to angels who lovingly scan
The woes and the wants Of the Moneyless


Man.
Does he work? Does he strivsi Is be faith


full and true7
Does he know what man has done, and " hat


he may do?
Or does he creep on with the sluggards slow


pace,
And refuse to take part in ambitions proud


racer
Does he drink, while his neighbor, with


whole heart and soul,
Is giving his strength TO be first at the goaly
If such be his crimes, pity him if you can
Centeat to ba-scornsdsss Noneyless Man.
Labor taught by the brain, with it's strong


skillful hand
Has reared princely palaces over the land,
And the man who will york, will, sooner or


late,
Cease to sigh, like vagrant. at some rich


mans gate.
With purple and crimson his walls may be


hung.
While the Chandeliers light over the table


is flung
With heart brave aud free, ere he meas


ures life's span.
He'll forgerthat he was a Moneyless Man.
There are churches whose loftiest turret


and spire
Have sprung from the depth Of some poor


boys desire;
There are colleges, hospitals, founded by


those
Who knew, at the outset, stern poverty's


woes;
But they labored, undaunted, with hand,


heart and brain,
And we know that such labor is never in


vain.
That man with his millions, when first he


began,
Was known upon 'changeas a Moneyless


Man.
Did he call on the ravens for meat and for


bread
Or expect that his wife was by some miracle


fed,
While be spent his leisure in looking for


banks
That would lend their gold for poor devils


thanks2
Or a court where the law was so cheap and


so free
That a client was welcome with never fee?
No; if he had been of this base, thriftless,


clan,
He too would have died Moneyless Man.
Nor do portals of Paradise open for one
Who has left any work that he could do un-


done
Its honors, its blisses await the true men,
Who, with ten talents trusted, have made


other ten,
''He is worse than the heather who does not


provide,
For his own and the Judge of all lives may


decide,
That brave, earnest labor being part Of life's


plan,
Heaven mas no rewards for th;s Mcneyless

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-
cine justly claims for il superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail TO cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In
great many cases single dose has been
sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by q single bottle, with
perfect restoration of the general health.
Il is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain TO cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid TO
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient, however, require a eathartic medi-
cine. after having taken three or four doses
of the Tonic, a single dose of BU LII s VEG
ETBALE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient

Congress Ycsterday-GeneraI Appropriation


Both houses yesterday developed a remark
able degree of industry in the right direction.
The House Of Representatives actually dis
posed Of two appropriation bills-the one for
Notifications and works of defence, and the
other for the Improvement of rivers and har-
bors-without any collision between members
or any operation of mud machines" On
the contrary, members Of both parties and
from all quarters Of the country combined
together and stood by each other in support Of
those two bills, which contained appropria-
tions in which all were more or less concerned.
In fact it might be said, without putting too
fine point on it, that these bills were log
rolled through the House. Together they call
for about six millions of dollars.


The Senate devoted its session, day and
night to the Indian Appropriation bill, with
some incidental matters in the morning hour.

on and most probably concur in the House

There was a young man once in the
Office Of a Western railway superintend-
ent. He was occupying a position that
four hundred boys in that city would
have wished to get. It was honorable,
and sit paid WE'LL" besides being in a
line Of promotion. How did be get it,
Not by having rich father, for he was
the son of Iaborer. The secret was his
beautiful accuracy. He began as an err
rand boy, and did his work accurately.
His leisure time he used in perfeeting
his writing and arithmetic. Afser awhile
he learned to telegraph. At each step
his employer commended his accuracy,
and relied on what be did, because he
was just right, And it is thus with ev-
cry occupation. The accurate boy is the
favored one. Those who employ men
do not wish to be on the lookout, as
though they were rogues or fools. If q
carpenter must stand at his journey
mans elbow to be sure that his work is
right, or if a cashier must run over his
bOok-keeper's column, he might as well
do the work himself as employ another
to do it in that way and it is very GER
tain that the employer will get rid Of
such an inaccurate workman as soon as
he ean.-[President Tuttle.

A letter to the st. Louis Christian Ad-
voeate says: Ihave Just learned a story
of the students in one Of our Theological
seminaries, which, I think, has a good
moral. To prepare them for praying in
public they were required from time to
time to write out a prayer for the criti-
cism of one of the professors, who gener-
ally dealt with these productions in so
severe style as to create the impression
that his standard could not be the Lords
and that it was higher than he himself
generally attained.


The former impression they did not
know so we'll how to rectify, but they
tested the latter by the following expe-
dent: One of the young men was cap
ital stenographer. He took down YER
batim, and handed in to be criticized, a
prayer offered at a public service by the
Professor, who did not recognize his own
production when written out by anoth-
er, but fell to work to show its numer-
Gus defects, until he finally announced
that it was "nO prayer at alll7 When
the Professor learned the cause Of the
amusement at this decision, the written
prayer exercise was abolished.

The following is an efeotual cure
for the smallpox When the prece-
ding fever is at its height, and just
before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and
tartaric ointment. This causes the
whole of the eruption to appear on
that part Of the body, to the relief of
the rest. It also secures u full and
complete eruption, and thus prevents
the disease from attacking the inter
nal organs. This is now the estab-
Iished mode of treatment in the

How did people get in the habit Of
shaking hands7 The answer is not far
to seek. In early and barbarous times,
when every savage and semi-savage was
his own law-giver, judge, soldier and
policeman, and had to watch over his
own safety, in default Of all other pro-
lection, two friends and acquaintances,
or two strangers desiring to be friends
or acquaintances, when they ehanced to
meet, offered each other the right hand
the hand alike Of offence and defence,
the hand that wields the sword, the dag
ger, the club, the tomahswk, or other
weapon Of war. Each did this to show
that the hand was empty, and neither
war nor treachery was intended. A
man cannot well stab another when he
is in the act of shaking hands with him,
unless he be a double-dyed traitor and
villain, and strives to aim a cowardly
blow with the left while giving the
right, and pretending to be on good
terms with his victim.

1t is, as easy to be rich man as
a poor one. Half the energy dis
played in keeping ahead that is
required to catch up when behind,
would save credit, give more time
to attend to business, and add to
the profit and reputation of those
who work for gain. Honor your
engagements. If you promise to
meet man or do thing at a GER
tain moment, be ready at the ap-
pointed time. If you go on busi-
ness, attend promptly to the matter
in hand, then as promptly go about
your business.


Do not stop to tell stories in busi-
ness hours. F..a..


If you have a place of business,
be found there when wanted. No
man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons. Never ''fool"
on business matters. Have order,
system, regularity, liberulity,
promptness. Do not meddle in
business you know nothing Of
Never buy any article you do not
need, simply because it is cheap,
and the man who needs it will take
it out in trade. Trade is money.


Strive to avoid harsh words and
personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path ; more miles can be
made in day by going steadily on
than by stopping to kick. Pay as
you go. A man of honor respects
his word as he does his bond. Aid,
but never beg. Help others when
you can, but never give what you
cannot afford to, simply because it is
fashionable. Learn to say no No
necessity for swapping it out dog
fashion, but say it firmly and respect
fully.


Have but few confdants, and the
fewer the better.


Use your own brains rather than
those of others. Learn to think and
act for yourself. Be vigiIant. Keep
rather ahead than behind the times.

there be folly in the argument, let
