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. W. B. Hathaway, Agt. U. 8. Ex. Co. An Enthusiastic Indorsement. Goriiam, N. H., July 14, 1879. 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. Tim Burch. A HniUnd'i Testimony, 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. A Member of Canadian Parliament. A Rich lady's Experience. I traveled all over Europe and other foreign countries at a cost of thousands of dollars in search of health and found it not. I returned discouraged and dis heartened, and was restored to real youthful health and spirits witb less than two bottles of Hop Bitters. I hore others may profit by my experience and stay at home.

Purple will, it is said, be fashionable this winter. Changeable goods will still be worn this winter. ' Momie cloth In dark colors will be worn this winter. Poke bonneto are ugly inall materials except straw. Black velvet outside garments will be much worn this season. Black and white net, spotted with large dots of chenille, is used for neck ties. Rifle green and pheasant brown will be among the fashionable winter col ors. Raw silk and even armure is to" be made up into handkerchief costumes next winter. Old-iashioned paste buckles are worn on the belt by those who are lucky enough to own them. Gold beads and chenille are mingled in the flat trimmings which are placed on. the crowns of some bonnets. The lawns with stripes and borders will be as fashionable next season as tnis, ana sensible women buy them eagerly. The Languedoc lace is imitated so successfully that the real lace cannot be distinguished from the cheap imita tions. When an evening dress is trimmed with flowers the wearer should carry a uirge oouqui'i, ot me same mossoms in her hand. Pongee dresses embroidered in Chinese style in red and blue, are among the summer gowns mat can be worn through the autumn. The capuchin cloaks are made of Surah and Vienna cloth combined, in cashmere and pekin and in white serge with braid trimming. Small mantles covered with chenille. and untrimmed sacks with brieht buttons, are liked for outside wraps to oe worn cooi days at trie seaside.

The hats with netted silk over the brims will probably be generally worn this autumn. Their only trimming is the thick cords knotted about the crown. Several new kinds of nlush are im ported for the winter, and the material will probably be made into bonnets. coats and jackets, and also into trim ming tor tiie finest gowns. Red beads on a cround of white lace are used to make a trimming for white evening dresses ; but they are less effec tive than those on which there is a faint dash of color. The handkerchief eowns which are to be worn this winter are to be very simply made, and as they need no trim ming are less expensive than many suits which cost less by the yard. The jet kerchiefs used to trim bon nets last year are replaced by jet scarfs. wniou are tied in a Knot on tue top of the bonnet, and made into bows to fasten the strings under the chin. The Genlis bodice is the name eiven to a waist with a yoke, a hood and a belt. It disputes the reien of the coat waist. The Genlis hat has a scood brim and is worn with a white veil. The red and yellow handkerchief cos- tumes are called "pensioners' pride" in France, in allusion to the red and yellow handkerchief in which the old soldiers at the Invalides delight. 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 jisleep. Burlington hawkey. The Uranarj of tiie World. Minnesota, although now claiming to be the greatest wheat-nroduclng State in the country, surpasnine vniih the 40, 000,000 bushels of this year's crops the highest mark of California, heretofore uie neaviest w neat-producing state, is prepared to see the banner pass (farther westward and northward, intoDakota, A well-informed writer on this subject, in a letter from St. Paul, declares that the comparatively small farms of Min nesota, which are themselves monstrous 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 less cultivation. Five hundred thousand 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 sessions, so there are English capitalists who fancy they see the great wheat sup ply of the world in the future, pouring out from Hudson Bay. Five new rail road lines have been built up into the Dakota wheat region, and British terri tory within a year or two, and the Northern Pacific is pushing a branch line due nortn to compete in tne race for the fabulous wealth in the wheat lands still unopened beyond the British line. Boston Transcript. 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. The Hudson In Winter. Some bright, breezy day you casually elance down the river and behold a sail a sail like that of a pleasure yacht of summer. . is tne river open again below there? is your first half-defined inquiry But with what unwonted speed the sail is moving across the view! Before you have lairly drawn another breath it has turned, un perceived, and is shooting with equal swiftness in the opposite direction, w no ever saw such a lively saill It does not beud before the breeze. but darts to and fro as if it moved in a vacuum, or like a shadow over a scene. Then you remember the ice-boats, and you open your eyes to the fact. Another and another come into view around the elbow, turning and flashing in the sun, and hurline across each other's natiis like white-winged gulls. They turn so quickly, and dash oil again at such speed that they produce the illusion ot something singularly light ana intangi ble. In fact, an ice-boat is a sort of dis embodied yacht; it is a sail on skates The only semblance to a boat is the sail and the rudder. The platform under which the skates or runners three in number are rigged, is broad and low; upon this the pleasure-seekers, wrapped in their furs, or blankets, lie at full engtb, and, looking under the sail, skim the frozen surface with their eyes. The speed attained is sometimes very great more than a mile per minute, and sufficient to carry them ahead of the fastest express train. When going at this rate the boat will'leap iike a grey hound, and thrilling stories are told of the fearful crevasses, or open places in the ice, that are cleared at a boun y And yet, withal, she can be brought u to the wind so suddenly as to shoot the unwary occupants off, and send them s Rating on their noses some yards. A Nice Porterhouse Steak, Air. Sctemup came downstairs to a ten o'clock breakfast with a vacant countenance and a backward tendency in his hair that made his two eyes ache, He sat down at the table and picking up his knife and fork, glared in uneasy wonder at something in the piatter be fore him. It had evidently been fried in butterand was intended for lood. Mr. Ketemup harpooned it witb his fork and lined 11 up bodily, gazing at it with over increasing wonder. " What under the nun," he exclaimed, at last, "is this thing t" " Well." replied his wife, with just a shadow of a sigh, "it looks like your new soft felt hat, and that is what I thought it was, but you pulled it out of your pocket when you came home this morning and said it was a nice nor- terhouse steak and you wanted it broiled for breakfast. You needn't give me any of itt I'm not hungry." And Mr. Set- emup, who was just wild to know what else Le said when he came home, and what time it was, for the life of him didn't dare to ask.

The exact nninr wliprn ' fm-hearnnoA ceases to be a virtue," is sometimes hard k uewsiuune. as n rule, wo Are re quired to accept of penitence and promises of amendment from offending parties, exercising toward them much of that " charity tiiat covereih a multitude ef faults." Bi t then the cloak of chanty, large and elastic as it is, may be rent asunder in straining too far. 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.

The Power of Enjoyment. comparatively few people possess uniformly cheerful dispositions. Most of us have our sad hours and moods But. whatever his disnosition. a man is bound bythelawsof his own being, and Dy tnose ot ins social relations, to cul tivate the virtue of cheerfulness assidu 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 age, without sensibly diminishing the enjoyment or comfort ot others, and thus infringing on their rights. Any individual who has tried to do bo can win himself from despondency and sur liness.

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. Every machinist has at least one vice. New YorktNcws.

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. THE 9IAKKETS.
