No medicine introduced to the public

It is famous by reason of its inherent

using your Bitters here, and witb
marked effect. In fact, one case, a lady
of over seventy years, had been sick for
years, and for the past ten years I have
known her she has not been able to be
around hall the time. About six
months ago she got so feeble she was
helpless. Her old remedies, or phy
sicians, being of no avail, I sent to De
posit, forty-live miles, and got a bottle
of Hop Bitters. It had such a very
beneficial effect cn her that one bottle
improved her so she was ab:e to dress
herself and walk about the house.
When she had taken the second bottle
she was able to take care of her own
room and walk out to her neighbor's,
and has improved all the time since.
My wife and children also have derived
great benefit from their use.

Gents Whoever you are, I don't
know; but I thank the Lord and feel
grateful to you to know that in this
world of adulterated medicines there is
.one compound that proves and does all
it advertises to do, and more. Four
years ago I had a slight shock of palsy,
which unnerved me to such nn extent
that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May I
was induced to try Hop Bitters. I used
one bottle, but did not see any change ;
another did so change my nerves that
they are now as steady as they ever
were. It used to take both hands to
wrjte, but now my good right hand
writes this. Now, if you continue to
manufacture as honest and good an
article as you do, you will accumulate
an honest fortune, and confer the great
est blessing on your fellow-men that
was ever conferred on mankind.

My wife was troubled for years with
blotches, moth patches and pimples on
her face, which nearly annoyed the life
out of her. She Bpent many dollars on
the thousand infallible (P) cures, with
nothing but injurious effects. A lady
friend, of Syracuse, N. Y., who had had
similar experience and had been cured
with Hop Bitters, induced her to try it.
One bottle has made her face as smooth,
fair and soft as a child's, and given her
such health that it seems almost a
miracle.

Punctuality.
Soma one definoo punotualitv to bo
' fifteen minutes before the time." At
any rate, it is not one minute af ter the
time.
I must tell you an anecdote of the
first Marquis of Abercorn. He invited
a number of friends to dinner. The
hour for dinner was five, and all those
invited kn w it, of course. Well, the
hour arrived, and but one of the guests
had come. Down sat the marquis and
this one guest to table. The marquis
wits punctual, it only one of the others
was.
By-and-bye another guest dropped in,
and was very much mortified to find
dinner being eaten. And one by one all
the rest came, and were likewise morti
fied. But the marquis had taught them
all a good lesson, and I venture to say
that the next time they were invited
none of them got in to the coffee only,
but were on hand for soup.
General Washington was so very
punctual that, on one occasion, some
friends who were expecting him at a
certain hour, on finding that he had not
arrived, all concluded that their watches
must have got wron ; and sure enough
tuey had, for Washington soon came,
and wns not a minute late. No doubt
bis habits of punctuality helped to make
him the great man that he was.
I knew a clergyman once throw him
self into the Mississippi river and swim
eighteen miles down stream to keep an
appointment for afternoon service. I
traveled through th8 Upper Mississippi
region shortly after, and for hundreds
of miles from the place where he lived,
out toward the border, I heard of his
great feat. The border men respected
such a man, and calied him " the min
ister who made the big swim."
Nor is any one too young -to begin the
cultivation of habits of punctuality.
The boy who is on time at school, on
time in class, on time when sent on an
errand, and so on, is apt to be the punc
tual business or professional man. The
habit of promptness is likely to cling all
through life.
Some persons, on the contrary, go all
through life in a slip-shod, down-at-the
heel way, and never prosper. They gpt
to a wedding as people are coming off.
They are late at church; don't meet
their notes, go to protest, and are in
trouble generally.
Washington's way was the best. The
Marquis of Abercorn was in the right.
That Mississippi clergymen did nobly.
And these three are good examples for
our boys and girls to follow. Never be
behind time, and, it you can, be a little
ahead of it, and you will never repent of
the habit of punctuality. Golden Days.
He Took the Hint.
Young Mr. Latchours was sitting on
the porch the other night watching a
seventeen-year-old girl trying to keep
awake long enough to see the morning
star rise. They talked astronomy.
" I wish I was a star," he said, smil
ing at his own poetic fancy.
I would rather you were a comet,"
she said, dreamily.
His heart beat tumultuously.
"And why t" he asked, tenderly, at
the tame time taking her unreslnting
little hands in his own; "and whjP" he
repeated, imperiously.
Oh," she said, with a brooding earn
estness that full upon his soul like a bare
foot on a cold oilcloth, " because then
you would only come around once every
1,500 years."
He didn't say anything until he was
half way to the front gate, when ho
turned around and shook his fist at the
house, and muttered between his teeth
that " by the dads it would be a thun
dering sight longer than that before he
came around again." But by that time
the poor girl was in bed and sound

in a letter from St. Paul, declares that
the comparatively small farms of Min

in size, according to the standards of
past generations ot agriculturists, can
not begin to hold their own in rivalry
with the great wheat tracts planted and
reaped by wholesale in the James Riv.r
Valley and about the headwaters of the
Red River of the North. These Red
River farms are operated by corpor
ations, employing regiments of men,
worked and fed with the discipline of an
army, and transported from tract to
tract by the cmon 1 from the elevators
of the owners. The land is not only
cheap, but is four'times as fertile us the
most fertile lands in Minnesota, and re
wards at that rate the most care

acres of wheat land have been brought
into cultivation within two or three
years. Under such corporate competi
tion on the frontiers of the Northwest,
the individual farmer on older lands is
overslaughed and discouraged. Al
though for years he may have been
forced to accept only what the railroads
transporting his grain calculated to be
enoughgto keep him at his hard life, they
gobbling the rest in charges, his chance
was not so slender as it has become
since the corporations themselves took
to farming on these wonderful lands.
Ttie same unequaled wheat soil and cli
mate extends far north into British pos

who fancy they see the great wheat sup

Honso Plants.
The question so often raised by our
correspondents as to whether it is
healthy to keep plants in our living
rooms and sleeping rooms is answered
by Doctor J. M. Anders in a recent
number of the Philadelphia Medical
Times: Experiments made by him
show the value of plants as natural and
perfect "atomizers.". The average
rate of transpiration for plants having
thin, soft leaves like geraniums and
lantanas is found to be an ounce
and a half of watery vapor per square
foot of leaf surface for twelve diurnal
nours 01 clear wcatner. At tnis rate a
great tree, like the Washington elm at
Cambridge, which has been estimated
to have 200,000 square feet ot surface,
would exhale seven and three-quarters
tons ot water in twelve hours. The
rate of transpiration for a house plant
is at least fifty per cent, more rapid than
for one in the open air ; and it is evident
that a number of such plants must have
a material influence on the humidity of
the air in which they are kept. Experi
ments made hv means of the hygrome
ter show conclusively c!i at house plants
may properly be classed as therapeutic
agents. As to their unwholesomeness lie
cause of giving off carbonic acid gas at
night, it has been shown by experiment
that it would require twenty thrifty
plants to produce an amount of gas
equivalent to that exhaled by one batiy
sleeper. A practical application of the
data gained by experiment is given in
the care fully-prepared formula T Given
a room twenty feet long, twelve feet
wide and ceiling twelve feet high,
warmed by dry air, sv dozon thrifty
plants, with soft, thin leaves, and a leaf
surface of six feet square each, would, if
well watered and so situated as to re
ceive the direct rays of the sun (pre
ferably the morning sun) for at least
several hours, raise the proportion of
aqueous vapor to about the health stand
ard. It is evident, then, that every house
mother can keep the air of winter rooms
moist by having thrifty plants in them
and there is every reason to believe tha
the lives of many persons who die from
pulmonary complaints might be pre
served by this agency, at once so agree
able and so salutary. In many instances
consumptive tendencies have apparently
been counteracted by working among
plants. American Cultivator.

There are some phases of depravity
which it cannot cover. The following
incidents, one of which occurred in
Tennessee and the other in Georgia.with
a couple of Baptist ministers, both of
whom we knew, will illustrate our
meaning:
In a church, of which the Rev. Duke
Kimbrong, long since dead, wits pastor,
there was a member whose infirmities
had bt come chronic, so that his case,
like some litigious persons we have
known, almost constantly on the docket.
He had transgressed, asked pardon,
and been forgiven, until the patience of
both church and pastor was about ex
hausted. At a conference of the church,
the offending brother arose with the
usual story, that at some public gather
ing he had taken a dram, it flew into his
head (the wicked thing!) and turned
him or the world upside down; and fall
ing upon the floor in the deepest appar
ent agony and grief, begged his brethren
to forgive him, and his old pastor to
pray for him, repeating the request sev
eral times with all the accompaniments
that tears and rolling over the floor
could impnrt. The old pastor sat very
gravely with his head down, s roking
his nose, perfectly unmoved by the
tragedy before him. After awh le the
appeal became so moving that he quietly
rose from his seat, and looking around
with calm dignity, said, "If anybody
has any confidence in Brother J,
he will please come forward and pray
for him. For my part I have lost all
confidence in him."
The other incident is related of Rev.
Jacob King, of Georgia. A similar case
occurred in one of his churches. No
public occasion could pass but that the
offending brother became, as the phrase
is, " how come you so." Time and again
he was up before the church to answer
to the charge of drunkenness, until the
patience ot all parties, as in the above
case, was threadbare. Finally the
offender cme up with the old story,
acknowledgment and petition for for
giveness. Brother King, who had by
nature an unusual flow of humor, rose
from his seat and, assuming a serious
tone.said to the congregation : "Brethren,
are you keeping count? You all know
that we can orijy forgive seventy times
seven four hundred and ninety times.
That is the last limit of the law. You
must keep tally, for it won't do to tran
scend the limits of that law." Having
said this he gravely took his sent, and
left the church to manage the case as
best they cnuld.

Human Hair from t'hiua.
When some one first made them f.ish

ous patterns of India rues there were
beautiful combinations ot color, their
importation to this country and England
at once exhausted the native supplv.and
enterprising loreigners stepped in to
stimulate their manufacture, especially
tor the foreign trade. Among the
houses in thiscity which imported them
largely is that of Messrs. Archer tfc Bull.
The head of this house resides in India,
and superintends ther.f a fuctorv in
which 600 native weavers are employed
upon rugs for the United States. Inci

But. whatever his disnosition. a man is
bound bythelawsof his own being, and

ously and constantly. He has no more
right to injure his neighbor's happiness
than to interfere with his pecuniary
property, and he cannot indulge in
venting ill humor or spleen, with
gloomy foreboding) or complaints, or
even carrying a sad. sour frowniig vis

enjoyment or comfort ot others, and
thus infringing on their rights. Any

Work and Feed.
An instance of an inventive genius in
an illiterate farmer's boy is too good to
be forgotten. A small farmer hired a
youth to assist mm in uie worn ot ins
farm as an indoor servant. The fir. t
piece of work he was set to do was to
thresh out some corn. As the farmer
was passing the barn in which the youth
vcAsat work.be heard the flail lazily
keeping time to a tune the lad was sing
i,ig. Stopping to listen, he nsceitained
that the words were, " Bread and cheese
tak' thy ease." Going into the house the
farmer said to his wife: "This is a queer
sort of lad we have gotten ; he seems to
think that the speed at which he ought
to work should be measured by the kind
of food he gets." And then relating
what he had heard, he suggested : "Sup
pose we give him something different to
dinner to-morrow, and see how that
acts?" This being agreed to, he had
annlfl nie added to his bread and cheese.
This brought down his flail somewhat
more rapidly, for it was going to the
snecd wherewith the lad sang. . "Apple
pie according-ly." "Bob's doing a bit
better to-flay, lass," said tne iarmer ro
his wile: "let us mend his dinner arain
to-morrow, and see what that will briDg
forth " So when the next dinner time
came around he had a good plate of beef
and DUddmg set before mm. which went
down right grandly, and brought the
nail into splendid action to tue words,
" Beef and puddin', I'll gi'e thee a drub-
bin'." and to a lolly good tune. " 1 nee
plainly," said the farmer, "if we wish
to get good work out of Bob we must
feed him well." 00 nob had his bill ot
fare improved without having recourse
to a strike. iJliambtrs' Journal.
The Sntro Tunnel.
It must be fun to be a miner in the
Sutro tunnel, in Colorado. The rats and
the bats have it all their own way. The
miner who brings his lunch basket :s
not at all sure that he will eat its con-
tents. II he leave it for a few minutes
the rats eat lunch and basket and nil.
Nor is his chance for dinner much bet
ter if. instead of the-basket: he take the
ordinary tin kettle. A party of rats
will steal a kettle before its owner's eves
and roll it away down into a hoie where
no man can follow them. Then thev
rio off the lid and devour the contents
at their leisure. There are millions of
those rats, and many of them are larger
than kittens, and much more muscular
and rapacious.
The bats bother both the miners and
the mules. When one big bat flies
against a miner's face, and another bat,
equally big, flies in tho face of that
miner's mule, there is a complication of
troubles. The man cannot see which
way the muie is going to kick, and the
mule, who cannot see either but goes it
blind, kicks at random, and is apt to hit
the man where the bat hit hiui. The
bats are as large, as numerou 3 and as
powerful as tho rats. For a man to
have his dinner stolen by rats, then to be
hit by a bat and kicked by a mule, is a
combination of infe'icities calculated to
make him wish himself at work in al
most any other field of labor.
Scripture l'lactlcallj Applied.
Many years ago when the mowing on
the farm was done with a scythe,
Farmer A. with his hired man were
mowing together in the field. The hired
man was ahead when he discovered that
he was in close proximity to a large
nest of hornets, lie advanced ns far as
he thought was prudent and jumped
from his swath and rtn away. Farmer
A. imagining that the hired man wa
frightened at nothing, stepped into
his swath with this scriptural quotation :
me wicked nee when no man pur-
sueth, but the righteous 'are bold as a
lion," and mowed ahead. Two or three
strokes brought him in contact with the
nest, and the hornets swarmed out at a
lvely rate, giving him a sharp recep
tion. The farmer ran when it was the
hired man's to quote scripture, which
he did by the following: "The wise
man forsectli the evil and turneth aside,
but the fool passcth on and is punished."
An exchange says : "The cats have be
come so thick in New York that Mr.
Bergh has determined to make war uoon
them." It is not stated how thick the
New York cat has become, but if it has
grown twenty-tour inches around tho
waist, Mr. Jiergh is periecuy justinabie
in making war upon them. A cat no
thicker than a rolling pin can make more
operatic music than a dozen families can
consume. Narrislown Herald.

Words of TtliMiom.
It is easier for a man to descend to
eaith than to mount to heavtn.
However' laborious tho life of the
good, it is-less no than that of the bad.
True virtue is like precious odors-
sweeter the more incensed and etrushed.
True philosophy places us above hon
ors, but nothing places us above the
ennui .they cause.
The mind has more room in it than
most people imagine, if you would fur
nish the apartments.
The evils of the world will continue
until philosophers become kings, tr
kings become philosophers.
No man Is born wise; but wisdom
and virtue require a tutor; though we
can easily learn to be vicious without a
master.
Strong minds, like hardy evergreens,
are most verdant in winter ; when feeble
ones, like tender summer plants, are
leafless.
There are truths which some men de
spise because they have not examined
and .which they will not examine be
cause they despise.
Childhood often holds a truth with its
feeble fingers, which the grasp of man
hood cannot retain, which it is the pride
of utmost age to recover.
Natural objects themselves, even when
they make no claim to beauty, excite
the feelings and occupy the imagination.
Nature pleases, attracts, delights, merely
beoause it is nature.
