rious and costly exiKjrlinents, he has succeeded in
providing, and now oilers to the public, such a
substitute In "CARSON'S STELLAR OIL." Jt

4TH, Because It Is Intensely BRILLIANT, and
therefore economical, giving the greatest possl.
ble light at the least expenditure to the consum
er. Its preseut standard of SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY will always be malntalned,-for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining

An Old Story Worth Repenting.
An old story contains a lesson which
ninny married couples have not yet learn
ed. When Jonathan Trumbull was Gov
ernor of Connecticut a gentleman called
at his house ono day requested a private
interview. Ho said : " I have cu lied on
a very unpleasant errand, Hir, and want
your advice. My wife and I do not live
happily together, and I am thinking of
getting a divorce. What do you advise,
Hir?"
The Governor sat a fow moments iu
thought; then turning to his visitor, said,
" How did you treat Mrs. W when
you were courting her? and how did you
feel toward her at the time of your mar
riage ?"
Squire W replied, " treated her
as kindly as I could for I loved her dear
ly nt that time."
" Well, Sir." said the Governor, "go
homo and court her just as you did then,
and love her as when you married her.
Do this in tho fuar of God for ono year,
and then tell me the result."
The Governor then said, " Let us pray."
They bowed in prayer and separated.
When a year had passed away Squire W
callcd again to soo the Governor and
said: " I have called to thank you fur
the good advice you gave nie, and to tell
you that my wifo oud I are as happy as
when first we were married. 1 cannot
be grateful enough for your good counsel.'
" I am glad to hear it, Mr. W ,"
said the Governor," and I hopo you will
coutiuue to court your wife as long as
you live."
A Mother's Prayer.
Almighty God and Father, I come
before thee now to speak unto theo about
the children whom thou hast given to me.
They are very dear to me, and I. earn
estly desire that they may walk in the
narrow way that loadeth to everlasting
life.
But I feel my own ignorance and sin
fulness, and need thy grace aud wisdom
to train them aright. Thou, () God, bast
said, " Ask and yo shall have ;" I do usk
thee for tho gift of thy Holy Spirit for
myself and children. Help mo to set
them a good examplo in word and deed ;
create in each of thorn a clean heart, and
renew in each a right spirit. Give to
each a tender conscicnco ; uiako them
obedient, respectful, gentle unselfish.
Strengthen them to resist temptation, to
speak tho truth, and to bo diligent in
their work, ever remembering that thine
eye is upon them.
Grant, O Lord, to each one of my dear
children a sure trust in tho precious blood
of Jesus Christ as their only atonement;
and clothe them each in tho blessed robe
of his righteousness.
Watch over them, good Lord, by day
and by night, in health and sickness;
and after they have served thee on earth,
take them to dwell with thee forever iu
heaven.
I beseech thee, 0 God, mercifully to
hear my prayer und grant mo my heart's
desires for tho sako of thy dear Son,
Jesus Christ my Saviour. Amen.

Lost.
11ns it ever occurred to to you what a
commentary upon civilization are theso
lost women ? A little child strays from
the house enclosure, aud the whole com
munity is on the alert to find tho wander
er and rcstoro it to its mother's arm.
What rejoicing when it is found ! Thcro
are no hursh comments ' upon the poor
tired feet, bo they ever so miry ; no rep
rimand for the soiled and torn garments ;
no lack of kisses for tho tcar-stainedjfaco.
lint let the child bo grown to woman
hood, let her be led from tho euclosuro of
morality by tho voice of affection, or driv
en from it by scourgo of want what
happens then 1 Do Christian men and
women go in quest of her!1 Do they pro
vide all possible help for her return ? or,
if she returns of her own motion, do they
receive her with such kindness and deli
cacy as will secure- her against wandering
again ? Far from it. At tho first step
she is denounced as lost. " Lost," echo
friends ; " we disown you. Don't never
come near us to disgrace us!" "Lost,"
says society, inditTerontly, . vjlow bad
theso girls aro !' And lost, irretrievably
lost, is the prompt verdict of conventional
morality, while one und all unite in bolt
ing every door between hef and rspecta
bility. JQTDu not choose your friend by his
looks ; handsomo shoes often pinch the
feet.
Don't believe the man who talks
the most; for mewing cats are seldom

A Witness' Troubles.
N the beginning af lust week, 1 made
my first appearance iu tho courtroom
iu tho case of Valentino against Orson, in
which the point in disputo was tho own
ership of a tract of land in Wyoming
territory. I knew somothing in regard
to the sale of these lands, and was fully
prepared to testify to tho extent of my
knowledge in the promises; but judgo of
my utter surpriso and horror on being
obliged to go through such an ordeal as
the following extracts from my examina
tion will indicate :
Tho counsel for tho plaintiff commenc
ed, by asking mo if I was a married man,
and when I had answered that I was, he
said :
Is your wife a believer in tho princi
ples of tho Woman's Rights party ?
I could not for the life of me, see what
this had to do with tho land in Wyoming,
but I answered that I was happy to say
that she was not.
The examination then proceeds as follows:
Q. You aro happy, then, in your mat
rimonial relations ? A. Yes (and remem
bering tho oath) reasonably so.
i. Is your wifo pretty? A. (Witness
rememboring at once his oath, and his
wife's preseuco in court) She is pretty.
Q. What aro her defects? A. (Witness
remembering only his wife's presence)
I havo never been able to discover them.
Q. Have you a lightning rod on your
house ? A. I have.
Q. How much did it cost you to have
it put up? A. It has not cost me any
thing yet I owe for it.
Q. Is that all you owe for ? A. No. I
havo other debts.
Q. Have you any money with you now?
A. I have.
(J. How much? A. (Counting con
tents of porte-monnaic). Sixty-two cents.
Q. Where did you got that ? A. (With
cmbarrasuicnt). 1 borrowed it.
Q. Were you present when defendant
first offered bis land for saletothcplaintiff?
A. (Urigthtening up). I was.
i- 1 lav e you ever been vaccinated ? A.
I have.
Q. ()u which arm ? A. Tho left.
(. At the time of the first mention of
this hind to tho plaintiff, who were pres
ent? A. (Witness speaking with hope
ful vivacity, as if ho hoped they were
coming to tho merits of tho case). Tho
plniutiff, defendant and myself.
Q. lias your wifo any sisters? A.
She has two; Anna and Jane.
Q. Aro they married? A. They are.
Q. Aro cither of them as pretty as
your wife ? A. (Quickly). No, sir.
Q. Have you any childreu ? A. Two.
Q. Havo they had tho measles ? A.
They have.
Q. Has any other person in your house
had tho measles? A. I hnvo had them,
and my wifo has had them.
Q. How do you know your wife has
had them ? A. She told me so.
Q. Thcu you did not seo her have
them ? A. No, sir.
(j. We want no hearsay evidence here ;
how can you swear thut sho has had
them when you did not see her have
them ? A. She told mo so, and I believe
her.
Qj. Did she take an oath thut sho bad
them ? A. No, sir.
Q. Then, sir, you are trifling with tho
court. Do you understand tho obliga
tions of an oath ? A. I do.
(j. fie ware, then, that you are not com
mitted for perjury. Is your gas-meter
ever frozen t A. Yes, sir.
(J. What do you uso when tho gas will
not burn ? A. Candles.
Q. How many to the pound ? A. Nino.
Q. How do you know there are nine
to the pound ?
A. They are sold as nines. I
Q. Then you never weighed them your
self ? A. No, sir.
Counsel to tho court : May it please
your Honor, this is tho second time that
this witness has positively testified under
solemn oath, important points to which
ho has no certain knowledge. I ask tho
court for protection for myself and client.
Here a long discussion took placo be
tween the lawyers and the judge, and at
the end of it tho case was postponed for
four months. I suppose it is expected
that I will then re-ascend to the ' witness
stand ; but I have determined that when
I enter a court room again, I shall appear
as a criminal. Theso fellows have much
the easiest time, and they run so little
risk, now-a-days, that their position is far
preferable to that of tho unfortunate wit-
k Singular Statement.
Captain Ericsson, iu writing on solar
heat, makes the very striking statemont
that it cannot be questioned that if Lon
don bad not been built, and if the build
ing materials of I'aris yet remained in
the Catacombs, the sun would rise earlier
than it now does, though of course the
difference would bo so small as to be ut
terly beyond the power of computation.
This assertion is based on the proposition
that the greater the distauce to which
weight is removed from the axis of gyra
tion, the greater is the tendency to re'
tard the earth's rotary velocity j and in
building these cities, the materials of
which they consist have been removed
further front the earth's axis than they
were in their natural state. . They tend
to decrease the velocity . of the earth's
daily revolution, and thus oauso . the sun
to rise later. i
Not a Pleasant Bod-Fellow
ANKW Western town, but lately re
claimed from the wilderness, where
the houses are few, uican and ugly ; tho
streets mud or dust; tho trees destroyed,
and the general appearance one of pov
erty struggling with heavy obstacles ;
where the wolves run the mail in ahead
of timo, and night is made hidoons by a
tailor practising on a flute this is a good
placo to keop away from.
Into uc.h a fnwn as this, and during
court week, I onco rode on horseback, at
the end of a weary way .passed into a con
tinuous mud-hole, studded with stumps
and ornamented with logs, that a be
nighted country called a road. Night
had already closed in, and I was guided
to tho hotel by the thousand and one
boys of tho place, and tho noiso issuing
from tho bar-room, no less beastly and
disagroablo. I found the landlord shut
up in a corner pen, dealing out liquid
insanity to his customers. To my request
for supper and bed ho responded that I
could cat my fill, but there was not a bed
unengaged or not occupied in the house.
I persisted, until the wretch informed
mo that there was " a feller" in No. 9
occupying a doublo bed, and I could "roll
in there," if so minded.
It was dismal, but my only hopo ; so,
after tho evening indigestion, I climbed
the rough stairs to No. 9. I was told by
the landlord to walk in without knock
ing, and did so.
It was a cheerless room, without carpet
upon the floor, or curtains to shut out the
black night of the windows, that seemed
to stare blindly in on one, and wink as
the candle flared in the wind.
t found my companion ineasuriug off
liia dreams by snores, and, undressing,
" rolled in," as the landlord had suggest
ed. My stranger turned over, with some
thing between a growl and a grunt, as I
crept to his side.
Tired as I was, I could not sleep.
Tho bed-tick felt as if it were stuffed
with grasshoppers, and the pillows were
of the sort to slip up one's nose iu the
night, and be sneezed out some time
during tho day. Besides this, my bed
fellow snored abominably. It sounded
like a giant trying to blow " Old Hun
dred" through a tin horn, without know
ing exactly how. I bore this infliction
us long as I could, and at last gave my
friend a dig in tho ribs, exclaiming at
the samo time :
" I say 1"
"Hillo sh what is it?"' ho asked,
in a confused way.
" I am sorry to disturb you, but I
think it my duty to inform you that I
walk in my sleep."
" Well, walk."
" My Christian friend, I am well aware
that this is a free country, and if a man
wishes to wulk in his sleep, there is no
constitutional provision to prevent him.
Hut I wish to remark that if I do walk,
you had better not interfere with mo."
" (), walk ; won't say a word about
it." '
" Well, don't. Wheu addressed or in
terfered with, I am apt to get furious.
I nearly brained a poor man with a dog
iron the other night."
" The deuce you did !"
" Yes, I did."
" Well, I'll bo blowed ! That's rather
disagreeable. A fellow might, under an
impulso, blurt out something to you."
" Hotter not."
" No, I should think not."
A long pause followed this. At last,
tho now wide-awake lodger asked, ab
ruptly :
" Did you notice my hat on tho floor?"
"I believe I did."
" If you walk, you know, I'd rather
you would not step in it."
" I'll bear that in mind."
After another pause ho again asked :
" Did you notice that door on the
Iclt?"
" I saw a door on the left."
" Well, if you walk, I'd adviso you
not to go out there. I t opens ou a porch,
only the porch hasn't been built, and it's
twenty feet down into the stable yard."
" I don't believe I shall walk out of
that door." '
"Don't think I would if I walked
much."
' I supposed my inquisitive friend was
dropping into a sleep, when he again
broke out :
" I say, you did really brain a man with
a dog-iron ?"
" I tried protty hard."
Then came in a silence that was not
broken. After a little while I heard my
bedfellow creeping softly from the other
side of the bed. I could hear him feel
ing about for his hat and clothes. Then
I had the satisfaction of knowing that
the door had closed softly on my retreat
ing tormentor. I rollod over and slept
the sleep of innocence.
The next morning, on descending to
breakfast, I found an old friend seated at
the table. We had not met for years.
After a cordial greeting, 1 said ; .
y " Are you stopping here ?"i ,
" I have been trying. Dut I am near,
ly dead. . I slept on a bench in the, bar
room, amid a lot of drunken brutes, who
sang' Bingo' for wagers , of drink all
night.'?-., ....... ... , , , , .. ,.
. . " Could you get no bed t", .
" Yes, I had a double bed to myself,
when that stupid ass of a landlord sent
up a crazy fellow, who walked and
struck out with dog irons."
".Good Heavens, Gillipsy, was that
you ?"
" Aud, I)., you don't mean to say that
you served me that infernal trick ?"
It was a case that called for diploma
tic explanation.
Slurs on Women.
OF all tho evils prevalent among young
men, we know of nono more blight
ing in its moral effects than to speak slight
ingly of tho virtue of women. Nor is
there anything in which young men are
so thoroughly mistaken, as the low esti
mate they form of the integrity of women
not of their own mothers and sisters,
but of others who they forget, are some
body else's mothers and sisters. As a
rule, no person who surrenders to this
debasing habit is to be trusted with any
enterprise requiring integrity of char
acter. Plain words should be spoken on
this point, for the evil is a general one
and deep rooted. If young men aro some
times thrown into the society of thought
less or lewd women, they havo no more
right to measure all other women by what
they see of these, than they would have
to estimato the character of honest and
respectable citizens upon the develop
ments of crimes in our publio courts.
Let our young men remember that their
chief hupiuess of life depends upou their
faith in woman. No worldy wisdom, no
misanthropic philosophy, no generaliza
tion, can cover or weaken this fundamen
tal truth. It stands like the record of
(rod itself for it is nothing less than
this and should put an everlasting seal
upon lips that aro wont to speak slight
ingly of woman.
No Rones In the Ocean.
It. JKFF11EY has established the
fact that bones disnrmear in the
M
ocean. 13v drcdsimr it is common to
bring up teeth, but raroly over a bono of
any kind ; these, however compact, do
solve if exposed to the action of tho water
but a little time. On the contrary, teeth
which are not bones any moro than
whales aro fish resist tho destroying ac
tion of tho scawatcr indefinitely.
It is, therefore, a powerful solvent.
Still the popular opinion is that it is a
brine. If such were the case, the bottom
of all the seas would long ago have been
shallowed by immeuso accumulations of
carcasses and products of the vegetable
kingdom constantly floating into them.
Dentine, tho peculiar material of which
teeth arc formed, and the enamel cover
ing them, offer extraordinary resistance
to thoso chemical agencies which resolve
other animal remains into nothingness.
Mounds in tho West, tumuli in Europe
and Asia, which aro believed to antedate
sacred history for thousands of years,
yield up perfectly sound teeth, on which
time seems to have no impression what
ever. Iiismarck's Family Legend.
A fantastical story is told of tho coat-of-arms
of the Bismarck family, which
consists of a clover leaf entwined by
three nettle leaves. The chroniclo runs
that ono of tho maidens of this family, a
beauty called Gertrude, being courted by
many admirers, selected ono of her first
cousins. However, there came a rough
baron from tho German ocean, accom
panied by a hundred horsemen, to ask for
hor hand. When it was refused, ho took
the castle by storm, killed Gertrude's
father, and finally embraced tho maiden,
remarking: ....
" You golden clover of my heart, you
are no nettle and do not sting;" whereat
tho sprightly maiden, observing : " I am
a nettle when I wish, and can sting, and
so do nettles ever sting the ono who would
break a clover leaf of tho Iiismarck's,"
quietly suioto tho adventurous lover un
der the fifth rib with a dagger, injuring
him so that he died.
A Tough Story.

Ward. Sho says she walked all the way
from San Francisco to Dayton ; that she
is forty-nine years of age ; that her fath
er's name was Armstrong ; and that he
was a Wyandot half-brocd. Her mother,
she claims, was a daughter of Ilusscll
Bigclow, Chaplain of the Ohio Peniten
tiary. In 1815, when living near Co
lumbus, Ky., sho was Btolen by Comanche
Indians, and carried to the recent Terri
tory of Nebraska, where, at tho age of
thirteen, she was married to David Ward,
a half-breed, by whom she became the
mother of eleven children. ' Her hus
band afterwards joined the army, and
stayed with the tribe. They murdered
her children, ate tholr flesh and danced
in their blood. She afterward escaped,
taking the long walk above mentioned,
and is in Ohio to find out her relations,
having an aunt living in Bollefontaine.
