' Friendship.
E
How fragile such friendship,
How short is its stay,
'When the Summer is gone
It teeth away,
It goes, none knew whither,
Nor cometh again,
Till, wooed by 'Prosperltie's
Flickering name.
Such friendship is nurtured
Where Imcries
And seldom wilt venture
To sorrow's lone cell;
Should you speak of n friend,
When a friend yon most need,
It is then far away -
And your voice will not heed.
Let fletle "Dame Fortune,"
Once turn the wheel round,
And fetch up the side
Where lucre is found
Then friends swarm around
Of the nature I've named,
Bow soon they rind out
When the season is changed
They come without wooiug,
Unasked for, unsought,
Their wavering friendship
Le easily bought.
fty weal t h they are dazzled,
They swarm, in its light.
Like moths round a taper
On a warm summer's night.
But give me the friendship,
Old-fitgliloned :Ind true,
That forsakes not an old friend,
For one that is new—
The friendship that cannot
Be purchased with gold,
Like the gem, of a monarch
Not kept to be sold.
The Little People.
A dreary pined would be this earth.
Were thzre no little people in it,
The song of life would loss its mirth,
Were there no children to begin it.
No little forms, like buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender
No little bands on breast or brow,
To keep the thrilling love chords tender.
No babe within our arms to leap,
No little feet towards slumber tending;
No little knee in prayer to ben.l,
Our lips the sweet words lending,.
What would the mothers do for work,
Were there no pants or jacket tearing?
No tiny dresses to embroider?
No cradle for their watchful caring?
No rosy boys, at wintry morn,
With satchel to the school-house Misting
No merry shouts as home they rush,
No precious morsel for their tasting
The sterner souls would get more stern,
Unfeeling natures more inhuman,
And man to stoic coldness turn,
And woman would be les, than woman
For in that clime towmds which we reach,
Through Time's mysterious dim unfolding
The little ones with cherub smile,
Are still our Father's face beholding.
So said His voice iu whom we trust,
When In Judert's realm a preacher,
Ile made a child confront the proud,
And be in simple guise their teacher
Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it;
A baleful place this world would be,
Were there no little people in it.

Culie for Cancer.
Our attention has been recently Called to
a cure for cancers, which is of so much im
portance that we'wish to make it known as
widely as possible. Some eight months ago
Mr. T. B. Mason—who keeps a music store
on Wisconsin street, and is a brother of the
well-known Lowell Mason—ascertained
that be had a cancer on his thee the size of a
pea. It was cut out by Dr. Walcot and the
wound partially healed. Subsequently it
grow again, and while he was in Cincin
nati on business it attained the size of a
hickory nut. Tie has remained there since
Christmas under treatment, and has come
back perfectly cured. The process is tins:
Apiece of stick i ng plaster wits putover the
cancer, while a circular piece cut out of the
cancer a little larger than the cancer, and a
small circular Hm of healthy skin next to
it was exposed. Then a plaster made of
chloride of zinc, blood root and wheat flour
was spread on a piece of muslin of the size
of this circular opening and applied to the
cancer for twenty-four hours. On remov
ing it the cancer wilt be found to be burnt
into, and appear of the color and hardness
of an old shoe sole, and the circular rim
outside of it will appear white and par
boiled, as if scalded by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, and the outside rim
soon suppurates and the cancer comes out a
hard lump, and the plaice heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, so that it
sloughs out like dead flesh, and never grows
again. This remedy was discovered by Dr.
Fell, of London, and has been used by him
for six or eight years, with unfailing sue
cess, And not a case has been known of the
reappearance of the cancer where this rem
edy has been applied. It has the sanction
of the most eminent 'physicians and sur
geons of London,, but has not till recently
been used in this country, and many of the
faculty, with their proverbially opposition
to innovations, look upon it with disgust .
We saw Mr. Mason at chord] yesterday,and
have since conversed with him, and took
particular notice of the eke trized wound,
and can only say that if the cure is perm a
nent—and , from the evidence olsix or eight
years' experience in other cases, we have
no doubt it is—the remedy ought to be Inn
ve rsally known. TIM experiment excited
much interest in Cincinnati, and we call the
attentiou of the faculty in this State to the
remedy. If it is whet is claimed for it, this
terrible disease will be shorn of most of its
terrors. The application is painful, but
the pain is of corn paratively brief duration,
which any one so afflicted would cheefully
endure.—Pittsbarg Gazette.
TILE D.E3IOCRACY - SNUM3i3D.—The people
of Virginia who cried "let us alone" in 1.86.1.,
when they were not desirous of being forci
bly restored to loyalty, haying had enough
of rebellion are now begging their old temp
ters, the Northern Democracy; to suffer
them to rest in peace. The Richmond Whig
says: "We beg the New York World, and
all other over•aealonS Democratic journals,
to let us alone. What we have done has
been chine without their aid and in spite of
their opposition. We are inore indebted to
President Grant than to ill the Democrats
put together for our deliverance. Let us
alone :"

An Incident—Wlint it is to Have A
Good Wife.
Some three or four years ago a young cou
ple named Fisk came to Indianapolis, and
the husband embarked in the grocery bust
iless, having several thousand dollars eapi-
Rad at his command. He had left Canada
some time previously with a small fortune,
but disastrous speculation in the oil regions
had diminished his stock of ready money,
and his business in Indianapolis proving
also uaprolitable, he was forced to sell out
at a sacrilice,and lbund himself almost pen
niless.
At this juncture his noble-hearted wife
came forward, put her own fair shoulder to
the wheel, and the twain began the battle
of life again with unimpaired cheerfulness
and zealous determination. Mrs. Fisk as
sumed muck of the responsibility, and con
ducted the business in her name. She rent
ed a store, bought and sold all kinds of mis
cellaneous goods, periodicals, toys.in their
season, and what ever could be bought low
and sold at a good profit. She made long
journeys East, visited the manufacturers,
bought goods " away down," and by sell
ing :them below what was asked by other
dealers, built up a flourishing trade.
Thus matters went on until one day about
a week ago, during business hours, and
while the shop was full of customers;
a dove flew lightiv.luto the store through
the open door! Every one present was
- astonished, and the more so because the
dove appeared to be rather in the pursuit of
some purpose than-frightened and lost. It
did not nutter Wildly about, but moved
gently over the heads of the customers and
people till it came to Mrs. Fisk, when it
perched confidingly ou her shoulder, rested
for a few moments, turning its mild beam
fill eyes full upon her thee, and then flut
tering out and away as quietly as it came.
Of course many remarks were made
concerning the incideni, but it had almost,
been forgotten when next day came a let
ler to Mr. and Mrs. Fisk, from Canada,
announcing that they had been left a leg
acy of sixteen tbouiand dollare in gold!
The Drinkkard's Caere.
Some months ago,u gentleman advertised
that he had discovered a sure specific for
the.cure of drunkenness. He would not
divulge the secret of what compounds he
used, but furnished the medicine at so much
per bottle. He did not have so many appli
cants for cure as ho expected considering,
the extent of the disease. In fact, the more
malignant cases did not seem anxious for
relief. They rather appeared. to enjoy their
malady. A few,however,placed themselves
under treatment, and some were cured—
whether by taking the medicine or by not
taking any strong drinks, we are not pre
pared to say. One of the cured ones had
faith In the medicine, rigidly carried out the
directions of the doctor, and now has not
the least taste for intoxicating d rinks; where
as, ono year ago, he was au inebriate, and
could not get along with less than a pint to
a quart of whisky per day.
He said that he had, at some trouble and
expense, procured the recipe for the prepa
ration of the medicine, which ho had pub
lished for the benefit of suffering humanity.
It is as follows: Sulphate of iron, liv6
grains; peppermint-water,eleven drachms;
spirit of nutmeg,one drachm ; twieladay.
This preparation acts us a tonic and a stim
ulant; and so partially' supplies the place
of die accustomed liquor, and prevents that
absolute physical and moral prostration
that follows a sudden breaking off from the
use of stimulating drinks. It is to be taken
in quantities equal to an ordinary dram,
and as often as the desire for a dram re
turns. Any druggist can prepare the pre
scription.
Night Air.
An'extraordinary fallacy is the dread of
night air.—What con •we breathe at night
but night air? The choice is between pure
night air from without, and foul night air
from within. Most people prefer the latter.
An unaccountable choice. What will they
say if it is proven to ho true that full one
half of all the disease we suffer from it is
occasioned by the people sleeping with their
windows shut? An open window, most
nights •in the year, can not hurt anyone.
This is not to say that light is not necestury
for recovery. In great cities, nigh t stir.is
often the best and purest to be had in twen
ty-four hours. I could better understand
shutting . the windows ill town during the
day than during the night; for the sake of
the sick. The absence of smoke, the quiet,
all tend to make the night the best time for

Walla-Walla . Valley.
The Walla-Walla Valley is in the south
eastern corner of Washington Territory ; is
about two hundred miles from Poise City,
in Idaho, and about four hundred from the
point on Salt Lake where the last spike of
the Pacific Railroad was, driven. The set
tler eau get. there either by way of the Pa
cific Railroad, at a cost of $2OO, or by way
of San Francisco and Portland, on the Co
lumbia river, atm cost 'of about $3OO. H.
Parker, an old resident front this Suite, ad
vises the overland route. The ad vantage of
the valley over nearly all the Rocky
Mountain country consists in the mua and
delightful climate. The Blue Hills, and
beyond them the Reeky Mountains, protect
this Valley from the sweeping wiudg of the
Great Plains; and the Cascade Range, 'be
tween it and the Pacific, breaks the rain
clouds and gives a climate sufficiently dry.
The winters arc mild, though the latitude is
as high as that of Nova Scotia. The cold
est weather is from the middle of Decem
ber to the last of January.
The Valley is well waterot by mountain
,streams. If- people arrive, healthy, they
- have not much to lhar from disease. 1 have
never known, says Mr. P., a person to con
tract ally pulmonary disease in that climate
Their outlet is by stunt on the Columbia
river. The Union Pacific Railroad is mak
ing preliminary surveys for a branch road
which is to run through the Valley. Apples,
peaches, pears, plums, grapes and all the
common fruits do well. Improved choice
lands can be purchased in' quantities from
forty to 160 acres from $3 to $3O per
acre. Au abundance of timber is of easy
access in the mountains. Tho population
is between seven and eight thonstuid.
Prizing and stock raising facilities in the
Valley cannot be surpassed. The streams
from the Blue Mountains are of pure, cool
waker, which can be led to all parts of the
great plain below, by canals of not costly
construction.
Bathing.
We perfectly detest sea. bathing ; we do
not believe that it ever did anybody any
good beyond what could have been attained
at half the trouble and cost at home. Be
sidestmen.went in bathing at Long Branch,
'Cape May and Absecon - 1 last year, one' at
each place, and havn't vet returned. It is
a - great deal easier to avoid drowning than
to be restored after one is "dead as a door
nail," it any one knows how dead that is.
The indelicacies, and "positive indecencies
connected with sea bathing at our fashiona
ble resorts are disgusting to all persons of
true culture. But as some differ from us,
we will make some suggestions for their
benefit.
I. Bathe where nobody else can see you.
2. Don't for zoodless sake, bathe in bor
rowed garments.
3. Don't bathe in any garments at all, if
your object is cleanliness.
4. Sick or well, don't remain in the %rater
longer than ten minutes, and be in active
motion all the time.
5. On leaving the water wipe dry, dress
as soon as possible, and on reaching your
apartment lie down until thoroughly rest
ed.
6. Never bathe but once a day, even in
perfect health; then you don't zioed it ex
cept" as au amusement.
7., Never bathe on a full stomach botbro
breakfast is the safest, most agreeable mid
most healthful hour for taking a bath.

:soy -EL sight WaS witnessed a few days
ago by Mr% (kingly, who livea at Rodega
Bay, Cal. While plowing near the coast his
attention was directed to an unusual coin-
intion in the water, nearly a toile front
shore, which proved to be a conflict between
five sword fishes and a sperm whale. The
ocean was quite calm, and as they neared
the shore their movements could be plainly
seen. The whale was no match for his
smaller antagonists, who seemed to under
stand his only means of defense, and dis
played considerable knowledge of tactics in
parrying with their formidable adversary.
In making their thrusts into his sides they
would keep clear of his tail, one blow of
which would halie been fatal to them. With
maddened fury the huge monster of the
deep would strike, right and left, eausing the
water to boil by the force of the blow—und
then be would- dive deep to escape the re
lentless fury of his tormentors, but be was
followed find soon brought ,to the surface.
Deep gashes could be seen in his sides and
the blood flowed freely. The light was wit
nessed for nearly an hour, when the whale,
in the agony of despair,startod for the shore,
flinging himself upon some low rocks, and
soon died from the effects of his wouuds.
Gashes two feet deep and six feet long were
made in his sides. Ile was between fifty
and sixty feet long.
Ma. SPEAKNAN's improvement in the
process of generating steam, now in opera
tion in the STAtt establishment, promisesio
become one of the inventive wonders of the
day. It dispenses with a chimney, but
takes the heated air, which would escape
in' tha t way, causes it to repast ina contin
uous current through the boiler, consuming
all the smoke, economizing fifty per cent.
in fuel, and utilizing - all the elements of
combustion, the only resiconm being car
bonic acid gas. In every point of view this
invention will be very valuable. On board
ship it will save much space, less coal being
required, anti the smoke-stack dispensed
with; and it will be a splendid thing for
war; vessels, monitors especially, not only
economizing in the particular mentioned,
but most important of all, enabling them to
conceal their whereabouts, as there will be
no tell-tale smoke-pulT to reveal their pre
sence to an enemy. Such sinoke-begrim
med and soot-tormented cities us Louis
ville stml.l'ittsburg will he apt to adopt this
improvement with eagerness. Indeed, the
latter city hits, we believe, a standing otter
of fifty thousand dollars for the inventor
who will accomplish just what appears to
havo been accomplished at last by Phila- .
delphitt perseverance and ingenuity. Mr.
Speakmen, the inventor of this process, is
also entitled to credit as the originator of
the Camden bridge 'project, which is now
assuming a tangible shape.—Pltitrtdcfphite

A GOOD WI FE.—Tn the eighty-fourth
year of his age, Dr. Calvin Chapin wrote of
his :wife: "My domestic enjoyments have
been perhaps as near perfection as the
Condition permits. She made my home the
plentaintest spot to me on earth. And now
that she is gone, my worldly loss is per
fect." Row many poor fellows would be
saved' from suicide, from the penitentiary
and the gallows every year, had they been
blessed with such a wife. "She made my
home the pleasantest spot to me on earth."
What a grand tribute to that woman's love
and piety and cotimum sense! Rather dif
ferent was the testimony of an old man a
few years ago, just before he was 'hung in
the Tombs yard, in New York. "I didn't
intend to kill my wife, but she was a very
aggravating woman." Let each wife in
quire, "Which am I?"

Whisky Barrel Explosion'.
The Richmond correspondent, of the
Lynchburg Republican narrates the fellow
log singular incident: A• very- singular,
and, at the same time, uncommonly horri
ble incident toqk place Sunday- afternoon at
Thornton's store, on -the Fredericksburg
road, a few miles from the city. Thornton
and a neighbor having determined to have
a day of it, opened the bong of a barrel of
whisky, and from thence drew their too
frequent potations.
About dark a colored woman living on
the place cattle into tlie Stare to light her
candle, which she , did with an ordinary
friction match. After lighting the candle she
carelessly threw the still burning match oft
from her, and it fell into tbe open bung.
There was an instantaneous explosion,
which was heard a mile otf,rending the bar
rel asunder and throwing, the burning
whisky all over the poor woman. After
two days of agony, not often paralleled,she
died, despite all that the surgeons called in
could do for her relief. The whisky was of
the meanest kind, supposed to have been a
eombieation of fluid oil and alcohol.
Illousen as Liquor Sellers.
The town agent for the sale of liquor ut
Pittstield, Mass., is Mary S. Manning. The
salary of the °Mee is $1.75 a year. The 130s
ton Traveler, of a recent, date, in noting the
fact says : "if the whole question or liquor
selling was left with the eunuch—the wives,
the sisters and the mothers of those who
have become ruined by strong drink—we
should have stringent liquor laws, rigidly
enforced. This recognition of woolen's
rights will undoubtedly be followed by
similar appointments in other towns; and
if proper care is exercised by the appoint
ing powers, the objection against the law
that liquor agencies often become niece rum
shops will undoubtedly lie removed. WO-
Mail suffers so much from the use or strong
drinks by others, that she has a right to as
sist in preventing [hob* improper sale.
Think for Yourself.
It is always best to think first for our
selves on any subject, and to have recourse
to others for the correction or improvement
of ourselves. • Thus we may reach truth
which we never should have observed had
we caught it particular mode of thinking
from an author. No principle should be
received front education or habit merely.
Let men observe before pursuing the opin
ions of others. We check original thought
by first learning how and what to think
from others. The strength of others should
be called to assist our weakness, not to pre
vent the exertion of our powers. fly moans
of this dependency upon books, error as
well as truth descends in hereditary suc
cession.
"IVltat's in a Name."
We must often think that one of our weak
sides is the nomenclature of places. Wo
don't mean Manch Chunk or Memphrema
gog, which are respectable; but such a name
for a summer watering place as Fire Island
is a very dissuasive one in the dog days.
Then there is the phiee of another favorite
excursion, the Cholera Banks. This is
worse than the other, and-really beyond a.
joke. Ono would think it would be easy to
get other names for these localities, which,
we have no doubt, arOnaturally very aiztev : _ .

The Farm
Farming is a profession, not to say a sci
ence. If any ono doubts this statement let
him leave his city home—for no one bred in
the country wilt doubt it—and undertake to
cultivate even a garden or half an acre for
the summer. fie will then find that knowl
edge is as essential In the right use of the
spade as of the pen, and that there is as
great a difference between the farming of
Flanders, where lam ally note weed is to be
been, and that of many of our farmers, the
wealth of whose soil is about equally di
vided between fruits and weeds, as between
the trade of a modern commercial city and
the barter of a back-woods settlement. It
is true that agrieulture has been the last to
•receive the impetus of modern science. It
is true that many agriculturists are content
to go on in the ways of their fathers, be
ea use experiments :u•e costly. Bat it is
also trite that they are 11 nablo to compete
with those who understand the use of new
instruments. methods and fertilizers. Ag
riculture is also beemniag in this cratatry
popular recreation. Many a gentleman is
content to spend on his country seat motley
which he makes in the counting-room.
The proetical farmer is thus able to get the
beoctit of experiments without. paying for
MOP. This change in agriculture, which
has converted it front drudgery to an art,
has created a demand for corresponding
literature. "Fifty years ago a stable agri
cultural periodical did not exist on the
American Continent." Sow every consid
erable district has one, while almost every
weekly paper, secular or re:igous, has its
agricultural department; and it will not be
long before something of a library will ho a
part of the furniture of every well-ordered
farm.
TO PREVENT HORSES BEINO TEASED ax
FLlEs.—Take two or three small handfulls

Coot:LNG is not only an art, but a science
as well. Making money is an art; and
there is more money made and lost in the
kitchen than almost. anywhere else. Many
a hard working man has his substance
wasted in the kitchen. A. careless cook can
waste as lunch as a man can earn, which
might as well he saved. It is what we save
that makes us well off. Prodigality and

llow to Itt:movi; .I..NK-Sr.tiNs..--A corres
pondent sends us the following recipe for
removing ink-stain,:
"When the stain is fresh and Wet, hasten
to provide some cold water, an empty cup,
and a spoon. Pour a little of the water on
the stain, not having touched it previously
with any thing. The water, of course, di
lutes the ink and lessens the mark ; then
ladle it up into an empty cup. Continue
pouring the clean water on the stain and
ladling it up, until there is not' the slight
est tnark loft. No matter how great the
quantity of ink spilt, patience and perse
verance will remove every indication of it.
To remove a dry ink-stain, dip the part
stained in hot milk and gently rub It; re
peat until no sign is left. This is an un
failing remedy.
Pov.tTor-s are more nutritious baked than
they are cooked in any other manner; and
they relish better with those who have not
been accustomed to eat them without seas
oning. Wash the potatoes clean, but do not
soak them. Bake them quickly us possible
without burning in the least. As soon as
they are done, press each potato In a cloth,
so as to crack the skin and allow the steam
t. escape. If this is omitted, the best pota
toes will not be mealy. They should be
brought immediately to the table, as they
will soon become solid and lose their fla
vor.
To Cutts: wars.—Warts are very trouble
some and disfiguring. The following is a
perfect cure even of the largest, without
leaving any scar. It is a Frenchman's pre
acript ion, and has been tested by the writer :
Take a small piece of raw beef, steep it all
night in vinegar, cut as much from it as
will cover the wart, and to it on it, or, if
ho excrcsence is on the forehead, fasten it
on with strips of sticking plaster. It may
be removed in the day and put on every
night. In tutu fortnight the wart will die
and peel off. The stone prescription will

A rem; TAars.--Stew eight tart apples as
for sauce, sweeten and add cinnamon and a
tpblespooniul of butter while hot; when
cold add half a teacup of bread crumbs,
and the yolks of four eggs well beaten, with
a cup of sweet Wilk; bake wit h under crust;
when done beat the white of the egg and
four large spoonfuls of white sugar, and ex
tract to snit taste, beat stiff, pour over the
tart.•, set them in the oven to gain a light
brown.
Arwm, .li;m:y.7—Fall pippin apples are
decidedly the best for jelly. To one peck
of apples, after they are pared and quarter
ed, bike three pints of water and the juice
of one lemon, with a very little lemon peel,
stew until soft, then pour into a jelly bug
nd let drain ; to every pint of juice add
pound of sugar; set it ou the tire; take off
any scum that arise , -; let boil twenty or
thirty minutes, trying occasionally with a
spoon to see if it jells. If ready to put in
glasses the syrup will drop thick.
cfa..‘ JELLy.—Pick the grapes when
they 11 re :ire, boil in half pint of water until
soft, then let them drain through a thin
cloth ; atter the juice i. drained out, boil
again it few minutes and then add sitar—
pound for every pint ; the best white sugar
should he need—boil fifteen minutes and
pour in glasses.

and a half of dour, India cup of butter, two
eggs, one cup sweet milk, three teaspoons
of baking powder.
