AsimuRNHAM, Mass., Jan. 14, 1880.
I have been yery sick over two yeari.
They all pave me up as past cure. I
tried the most skillful physicians, but
they did not reach the worst part. Th
lungs nnd heart would fill up every
night and distress me, and my throat
was very bad. I told my children I
never should die In peace until I had
tried Hop Hitters. I have taken two
bottles. They have helped me very
much indeed. I shall take two more;
by that time I shall bo well. There
was a lot of sick folks here who have
seen how they helped me, and they
used them and are cured, and feel as
thankful as I do that there is so valu
able a medicine made. Yours,

Hoi' Bitters Co:
I have heretofore been bitterly op
posed to any medicine not prescribed by
a physician of my choice. My wife,
fifty-six years old, had come by de
grees to a slow sundown. Doctors
failed to benefit her. I got a bottle ol
Hop Bitters for her, which soon re
lieved her in many ways. My kidneys
were badly affected, and I took twenty
or thereabouts doses, and found much
relief. I sent to Galveston for more, and
word came bai'k none in the market, so
great is the demand ; but I got some
elsewhere. It has restored both ol us
to good health, and we are duly grate
ful. Yours. J. P.Maget.

Hop Hitters Co. :
1 wish io nay to you that I have been
suffering for the last five years with a
severe itohing all over. I have heard
of Hop Bitters and have tried it. I
have used up four bottles, and it has
done me more good than all the doc
tois and medicines that they could use
on or with me. I am old and poor but
feel to bless you for such a relief from
your medicine and torment of the doc
tors. I have had fifteen doctors at me.
One gave me seven ounces of solution of
arsenic; another took four quarts of
blood from me. All they could tell
was that it was skin sickness. Now,
after these four bottles of vour medi
cine, my skin is well, clean and smooth
" ever. Henrt Knoche.
Milton, Dl., Feb. 10, 1880.
Being induced by a neighbor to try
Hop Bitters, I em well pleased with it
as a tonic medicine, it having so much
improved my feelings, and benefited
my system, wlrch was very much out
of tone, causing great feebleness.

I know Hop Baters will bear recom
mendation honestly. All who use them
confer upon thi'in the highest en
comiums and give them credit for mak
ing cm-is ali the proprietors claim for
them. I have kept them since they
were first ottered to the public. They
took lii.uli lank from the first, and main
ta:ned it, and are more called for than
all others combined. So long as they
keep up their high reputation for purity
and uselulness I shall continue to re
commend them something I have
never before done with any other

An Adventure of Tom Wood, the Con
federate Scont.
" Well, now, tell ns, old friend, when
coming Inside of Ihe enemy's line , did
anybody ever detect you as a Confeder
ate npyf"
Never . Bnt I was mighty near
being caught up once, and the only wy
I escaped was by being mistook for my
brother Jim." Here the rmile on his
face spread into a broad grin, and the
old man chuckled as his mind went bao
to tho serio-comical adventure. Tom
Wood, or Uncle Tommy," as he was
known in General Lee's rump, had never
been with the army in Flanders, but he
bad learned their haldts all tho same,
and was perhaps as wicked a hunter as
ever Rliouldered a rifle.
" Hut I'll tell you about how I liked o
have been caught. It was lato in De
cember, and it occurred to me that I
would take my Christmas frolic by
making a little scout out to my homo in
Randolph county. We were c:mpcd at
the Warm Springs, nnd had nothing to
do in camp and 1 felt lonesome like. As
Christmas drew on, I got to thinking
about my old woman and the chiidrea
at home; they were away inside the
lines of the enemy, and I thought that
Christmas would be more like Christmas
to them if I could unexpectedly drop
down an ong them. So I shouldered my
old gun, and away I went, out, through
Pocahontas and down into Rndolpu.
I got along first-rate on my war out;
saw no Feviernls; slipped around their
pickets; Baw my family, and after en
joying myself for a Beason, started back.
"Of course 1 kept out of the way of all
the settlements and stuck to the moun
tains. I stopped at nobody's house un
less I knew them to bo true blue South
erners. One night I cam? to the
Greenbrier, and just as dark came on a
heavy sleet set in. I was cold, tired and
hungry, and the only house where I
could find shelter was the home of old
Billy Johnson, whom I knew to be the
most ultra union man in all that region.
I had no personal acquaintance with
him, and didn't think that he had ever
seen me, so I concluded to risk myself
under his roof that night anyway. It
was my purpose to give him a fictitious
name, for I felt pretty sure that if he
discovered that I was Tom Wood, the
rebel scout. I would not live to see day
light. Mustering up courage, nnd
helped along by the wet, and cold, 1
sought refuge under Johnson's roof, and
was hospitably received. While sitting
by the fire warming myself, Johnson
kept looking into my face very earnestly,
when all at once he arose from his sent,
approached, and standing directly in
front of me, says: 'Ain't your name
WoodP'
" Here was a poser, nnd I thought I
was caught. I knew that if he recog
nized me it tvould do no good to lie about
it, so I owned ud and said that was my
name. Well,' said he, this is Brother
Jimmv Wood, ain't it P This relieved
me. You see he mistook mp for Brother
Jim, and seeing how it was, I humored
the mistake, though Jim is a blasted
sight uglier man nor mo. But I wasn't
standing on looks then; the circum
stances didn't admit of it. 'Well,
really,' says he, ' Brother Wood, I am
glad to see you. I ain't seen you since
the enmp-meeting on the hill, nieh on to
twenty years ago.' And he took my
hand and shook it like he was glad to
see me. But I could hardly keep from
laughing in his face at being taken for a
class leader. You see, Jim is a Metho
dist and a leader in the church, and bo is
Johnson, nnd that's Low he called me
'Brother Wood.' And then he sot
down and talked over old times and
the camp-mepting in tho hilla, and as
the old man was willing to do most ol
the talking, I was wilUng for him to
do it.
' 1 got along very well until we sot
up to supper, when Johnson called on
me to say grace. I had done many it
hard day's work ; had been on many a
long scout; have been in some mighty
hot fights ; but I tell you honestly, boys,
the hardest and hottest work I ever
done was to get out that blessing in a
nenteel way. But this was no time for
flinching, and I got through with it.
Everything moved on smuttily, until
bed-time came around. Brother John
son put the Bible on the stand, snufled
the candle and asked me to lead in fam
ily worship. I had broken the ice by
asking the blessing at the supper taole,
so I read a chapter in the book, and
kneeling d.wn ottered up ttie first prayer
ot my lue. By j in gs, it was a good one.
f didn't forget to pray for the rest jration
of the Union and the destruction of its
enemies. Maybe it was answered. 1
had a good night's rest, and when I left
in the morning felt better tuau I ever
did in my life." In fact, boys, 1 believe
it d ,es a man good to pray a little once
iu a while, evin if he is forced to it. i
mean to do more ot it hcreatter. But
that is the way I escaped, by being mis
took for my brother Jim."
And the grin broadened again on the
o'.d scout's face, and the chuckle souude I
louder and deeper as he mused on his
a (venture. Captain Moffet, in Fhiladd
phix Times.

out the fuauy animals with such strange

them. This fancy for rhyme and
rhythm is, I suppose, a characteristic of
ncttrly all children, nnd perhaps the
publication ot this will amuso a wider

Brothers Reunited After Fifty Tears.
The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch, of a
recent date tells the following romantio
story t On Saturday a stranger came
hero and made inquiries regarding the
whereabouts of Mr. John Woodworth,
a worthy farmer, who owns the place
formerly" the property of Lewis H.
Frayser, Esq., on the Williamsburg
road, about tour miles from the city.
The stranger had the appearance of a
well-to-do farmer, and was evidently
not familiar with our localities. He,
however, soon found Mr. Woodworth
at a stable on Eighteenth street, hitch
ing up his team and getting ready to go
home. He entered into conversation
with Mr.Wood worth, asking him several
questions, to which Mr. Woodworth,
supposing him to bo a sewing machine
or lightning-rod agent, returned evasive
answers. Presently, however, becoming
more earnest in his manner, he
Bta.'tled his hearer by remarking: "lam
going home with you to-night. Al
though you don't know me, I know you.
I am your brother William." Mr.
Woodworth was dumbfounded at this
remark, and was distrustful, but his
brother recalled incidents of their
childhood which were distinctly remem
bered by him, though he was only three
years old at the time, and convinced
him that he who thus addressed him
was indeed his brother. It seems that
about sixty-five years ago their father
and mother with their children named
in tho order of their aees Catherine,
William, Margaret, Jo1, n and Absalom,
were living in or near Albany, New
York. Tue death of the parents follow
ing close one upon the other, when Ab
salom was a mere infant and John only
three years old, caused a scattering
of the family, kind friends taking the
little ones and administering to their
wants. The boys, without home at
tachments or home influences to restrain
them, wandered off early in life to
various portions of the country. John
was the only boy whose wanderings
could be traced; for when thirteen
years after, the sisters visited the scene
of their early childhood his whereabouts
was easily discovered, and communica
tion was entered into with him. No
knowledge could be obtained of the
others. A short time ago that feeling
which has a lodgment in every human
breast to visit the old homestead, in
duced William to goto Albany and see
once more the place of his infancy and
friends of his early life. Here he
found his sisters, and heard that bis
brother John was also alive and living
near this city. The whereabouts of the
younger brother, Absalom, even should
he be living, is unknown.
WhAt is Healthful Exercise I
This is a question propounded to one
of our leading physicians recently. He
did not answer specifically. "A man in
a sedentary occupation," said the doctor,
"ought not to take violent exercisa.
Exercise, like everything else that is
srood, should be taken in moderation.
That is the objection to rowing and
kindred amusements. They are not
healthful because carried to excess.
Horseback riding is good exercise, so is
walking. But whatever the form of
exercise do not pu sue it to extremes."
1 here is a deal of sense in what the
doctor says, remarks an exchange.
Nearly all the great pugilists, baseball
and oarsmen, pedestrians, athletes and
men who are specially trained for ex
traordinary feats of physical endurance,
break down early. They exhaust their
stock of vitality prematurely. It is the
natural development that is the most
enduring. What men need in every
pursuit in life is "staying powers," te-nuL-liy,
longevity anl evenness ot muscu
lar growth. Sudden spurts of strength
impinge lightly upon either the eco
nomic or moral results of life. For this
reason we may ptudently accredit that
rule the best waich commends to us a
moderate amount of physical exercise,
and regular intervals as regards time
and quality.
Coasting, baseball, pedestrianism are
none of them necessarily unhealthy.
On the contrary they are healthful, nnd
a delighte.i combination of recreation
and physical development. But how
few use them wisely as tools for this
purpose. The great majority indulge to
excess. TUe excitement cf the contest,
the fierce requirements of rivalry, and
the potency of example, carry the enthu
siasm to a pitch, and the physical frame
is taxed to an injurious degree.
No sane person denies the value of
food. It is essential to lite. It is possi
ble to live without exercise; it is not
possible to live without food. And yet
if a man were to partake of food as he
sometimes partakes ot exercise he would
bo accounted a fool; for, if he fasted two
or three days, and then gorged himself
with all he could eat, he would b3 a
speedy patient for the physician. And
yet, in so doing, he would be only step
ping in a parallel niche with the man
w ho takes rest and exercise in about that
portion of time and intensity.
The up-buildiug of physical manhood
and womanhood is one of the great
privileges and duties of every human
life. The future not only of individuals
but of nations depends in large measure
upon the wisdom of the raising ot
future generations in this respect. Na
ture builds up by a slow but continuous
process. The vegetation that spring up
in a night is compura'ively va,uetess.
The wood of steady and uninterrupted
growth has the best fiber. Exercise,
rightly used, is an element ot human
physical development Wrongfully or
immoderately used it is a bane.
Never Too Late to Learn.
Socrates, at an extreme old nzo,
learned to play on musical instruments.
Calo, nt eighty years of age, began to
study the Greek language.
Plutarch, when between seventy and
eighty, commenced the study of Latin.
Baccaciowa9 thirty years of age when
he commenced his studies in light liter
ature ; yet ho became one of tho greatest
masters of the Tuscan dialect, Daute
and Piutarch being the other two.
Sir Henry Spelimun neglected the
sciences in his youth, but commenced
the study of them when he was between
fifty and sixty years of age. Alter this
time he became a mo3t learned antiqua
rian and lawyer.
Doctor Johnson applied himself to the
Dutch language but a few years before
his death.
Ludovoico Mondaldesco, at the great
ai;e of 115 years, wrote the memoirs oi
his owh times.
Ogiiby, the translator of Homer and
Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin and
Greei till he was past fifty.
Franklin did not commence his philo
sophical results till he had reached his
fiftieth year.
Dryden, in his sixty-eighth year, com
menced the translation of the iEaid, his
most pleasing production.
Thousands of examples of men
who commenced a new study
either for a livelihood or amusement,
at an advanced aire, could be c'tei.
But every one familiar with the
biography of distinguished men will
recollect individual cases enough to
convince him that none but the sick
and indolent will ever say, " I am too
old to learn."

About Leeches.
They live from ifty to one hundred
years, and are sonetimes even older
than that. Most ot the leeches used by
medical men of thilcountry are brought
from Northern and Northwestern Eu
rope, where they alound in the swamp
lands in great numbers. They are im
ported to this counfy by Dr. White, who
lives in Rhode Islatd.and who has great
purging ponds, wlere he prepares the
disgusting iittle crtatures for the mar

stores nnd the physicians throughout
the city not lffls tnan 2,000 leeches
They bring a briuo of about $1 per

consequently the highest pricrd. At

are large numbers of aged and infirm
horses and cattle, brought thither from
the surrounding cities. These ani

the leeches are i gathered from their

Eating1 Lemons.
A good deal has been said through the
papers lately about tho healthtulness ot
lemons. The latest advice as to how to
use them so they will do the most good
runs as follows : Most people know the
oeueuo oi lemonade beroie oicuKrasb,
hut few know how it is more than
doubled by taking another at night, nliio
Tho way to eet the better of a bilious
system without bluo pills or quinine is
to taite ttie juice or. one, two or tnrce
lemons, as the appetite craves, in as
much ice water as makes it pleasant to
drink, without sugar, before going to
bed. in the morning on rising, or at
least half an hour before breakfast, take
the juico ot cno lemon in a goblet ol
water. This will clear the system o

Words of Wisdom.
A delicate thought is a flower of tho
mind.
The art of praising caused the art of
pleasing.
Inclination and interest determine tho
will.
Politeness is the expression or imita
tion of social virtues.
Diversity of opinion proves that
things are only what we think them
One mav ruin himself by frankness
but one surely dishonors himself by
duplicity.
A man should never blush in coufass
inar his errors, for he proves by hi
avowal that he is wiser to-day than
yesterday.
Ono of the most effectual ways of
pleasing and of making one's solf loved
is to be cheertui; joy soitens
hearts than tears.
Wise men mingle innocent mirth with
their cares as help eitner tc torget or
overcome them, but to resort to intoxi

Diamond Talnes.
A "diamond expert" having nothing
better to do the other day, got hold of
n u ncaeo Trtoune reporter ana naa
some fun with him. He told him that
many of the so-called solitaires are
made of sinsrle stones and put together
for the American market; that nine dia
monds out ot ten sold in tnis country
are the refuse of the European market;
nearly all being off-color, specked or
" leathered," and Having epoxen uiese
words he 'went his way, and chuckled
inwardly on reading his chaff in the
next morninit's paper. A writer in the
Jeueler's Circular says no diamond
made of pieces glued together are known
to the trade. They could be bo easily
detected that there would be no sale for
them. It would be mechanically im
possible to make them so as to hide the
jointure, which would impair the lus
ter, and by intercepting ine ngnt, inter
fere with the harmony. American dia
mond-buyers are the most critical in
Europe, nnd London dealers make it a
noint to select inn most brilliant and
costly gems. An English denier at the
Centennial exposition discovered
American women to be such good judge'
of precious stones tnat nissfck com-
nnred verv unfavorably with the coods
of American f xh bitors. The ide that
off-colored, specked, or feathered dia
monds can be sold at a fictitious value is
absolutely ridiculous. Diaruo: ds, lik
uoid. have an absolute market value
they never become second-hand, but a
good diamond is always iresu ana ne v
There are a few old mine diamond
now in market, because the old untie
no loneer yield them nnd they have
been bought up and remain as heir
looms in old families. Jiut ttie mine.-
of recent date have yielded i ust as pur
and brilliant diamonds as did ever the
mines of Golconda. Occasionally
"sport" may palm off on a verdan
customer a low grade diamond tor
pure gem, but those people who buy ol
such persons instead ot regular dCAlers
must take their chances. Detni'. Free

" Winter Resorts."
Got. the funniest leter the other day
from Lee & Shepard, of Bos'on. Wrote
tnem to send us a hand-book of wintei
resorts, didn't care whose or what it
was, so it filled the bill. In reply re
ceived a package of books about the
size of a Sunday-school library with the
following letter from the great publish
er: Your request for a book of " Winter
Resorts" is received, nnd we send you a
few to select lrom. Being a litle doubt
ful as to what constitutes a winter re
sort from tho fact that different people
seek different places nt that time, we
have given you a wide range to . 'elect
from. We send Farrar's "Moosehcad and
Rangely Lakes" for the reason that the
Penobscot Indians contiderthem a good
winter resort. Tho "Guide to the
White Mountains," because tbe United
States signal service considers them one
of their birst winter resorts, and have a
nice place fitted up for that purpose in
Mount Washington. "Adritt in the
lee Fields" we send you because the
polar bears and some ol the Esquimaux
Indians resoit there every winter. New
England is always a good winter resort,

From the deposit (known as lac-seed)
shcllao and coloring matter (lac-dye)
are manufactured. The officers of the
'ore-t department of India have recently
discovered that by applying the lac-seed
to different trees, or by transplanting the
trees bearing the deposit, the insect can
be farmed, and the supply thereby in
creased indefinitely in a given locality.
The lac-industry is thus being spread in
India. A few years since $1,000,OCO
worth ot lac was annually exported.
The amount sent abroad now amounts
yearly to three-quarters of a million
