SCXSV THOUGHTS.
Oil, the good that is wrought
When sunny thought
Comes home to the hearts of all,
" Tis like that given
To earth from heaven
When the sun -kissed rain drops fall
The happiness wrought
By a sunny thought
Is beyond all earthly ken.
Thoughts gloomy and wise
Fill the mind with surprise,
But they touch not the hearts of men.
The gems that shine
In the distant mine
May be far more precious than gold.
But the blossoms sweet,
That bloom at your feet
Have a wealth that is all untold.
Iu heavens afar
C lea ma many a star,
And for these you may strive in vain ;
But the daisies grow
In the grass below
All along life's winding lane.
When the roses gay
Turn to sombre gray
And the lillies as black as night.
It is time to weep
O'er the gems that sleep
Or the gleaming stars so bright.
Like the sun that glows
In the heart of a rose,
When kitted by a drop of dew,
Is the glory wrought
Iu the soul by a thought
If sunny, and pure and true.
Io not stop to sigh
For the stars on high,
But gather the blossoms rare.
Each little flower,
Though it Mve but an hour,
Has made the world more fair.
THE DEACON'S SOX.
'I am going away, mother,' Frank
KHrmond eaid, looking luruvely in
to his mother's face.
A sad, troubled face hia mother
turned toward hirn for an instant,
but she eaid nothing.
She stood at the table in the broad,
low. old fashioned kitchen, busy
with some household task, and
Frank a boy of sixteen was sitting
on the lounge in the corner of the
commodious room, with his can
slouched over bis eyes with a half
defiant look upon his face as he
watched his mother.
'It's no use,' he eaid, 'father won't
give me a chance to know anything.
1 must work from morning till night
He says I don't need to study to be
a farmer. I had a book hid at the
barn that I have been studying when
I had time; he found it just now
and boxed my ears with itfthea tore
it up and threw it away, lie said he
eues"ed hed stop that nonsense.
Father ie a rich man and I am the
only boy. Why can't he give me a
chance to know something, moth
er?' 'My boy,' Mrs. Raymond said, in
a gentle tone, 'your father had only
a common education, and he lias
been successful in business. He
thinks others can do as he has done.
Perhaps you had better wait a little
longer. Try to te patient,'
Mr. Raymond sometimes had
more than she could do to smooth
the ruffled temper of her impulsive
boy.
Her husband, deacon Raymond,
believed in walking in the beaten
track of his father's, any inno
vation that caused the slightest de
viation from the old way was looked
upon with pious horror.
lie was one ot the deacons ol an
orthodox church, strict and upright
with his dealings with other men,
but he was Puritanical in his views
and rigid in his family relations.
There were no fond words or ca
resses in his family circle, home was
simply the place where he took his
meals.
His broad acres yielded fine crops.
Every year he deposited a large sum
in the bank. He paid his proportion
of church expenses ; he gave liber
ally to charitable enterprises and
foreign missions, while in his own
house a boy his 6on was growing
up almost a heathen in point of
knowledge.
Was it strange that, with a boy's
keen perception. Frank Raymond
was discontented?
Mrs. Raymond did all that lay in
her power to make the rough place
smooth for her son, but it was com
paratively little 6he could do.
The deacon did not believe that
the women were good financiers, so
he held the purse strings, handing
out in homoiopathic measures and
allowance that he deemed sufficient
for woman's need.
Mrs. Raymond was one of those
women who say little, but resolved
if any more trouble occurred between
f rank and his father, not to oppose
his leaving home.
Matters reached a crisis a few
days later when Deacon Raymond
sold a beautiful colt that Frank had
been permitted to call his own.
Frank had petted the beautiful
creature, and had lavished upon it a
wealth of affection that the colt seem
ed to understand.
It would dash across the pasture
to meet him, and lay its fine arched
neck over the boy's shoulder in per
fect contentment.
When Frank knew that his pet
was sold he went to the house, and
lying his head dowu on his mother's
lap he wept as if he had lost a kind
friend.
'Don't try to keep me any longer,
mother,' Frank said, when his grief
had exhausted itself. 'Father flog
ged me just now because I told him
that the colt was mine. He said he
would teach me not to interfere with
his affairs. I shall come home some
time, mother, to see you,' he said,
jumping up and throwing his arms
about her neck in a tearful embrace,
'but lather does not love me. I heard
him tell the man that bought Kitty
that boys were mbre plague than
profit To-morrow father will be
away all day. I shall do the work
he leaves for me, then I shall leave.
To-night I will pack my valise, it
will hold all I shall need,' and Frank
Raymond busied himself while Dea
con Raymond was sleeping the sleep
of the just that night, in packing up
the few articles that ; belonged to
him.
Few they were, too, for Deacon
set
ESTABLISHED, 1827.
SOMEESET, PA., WEDNESDAY.
Raymond did not think a boy's
room needed anything ornamental
or attractive. No pictures adorned
the walls of Frank Raymond's room.
There was no well filled book case to
employ and gratify his leisure mo
ments. No carpet on the floor ; ''boys did
not need such things," he told his
wife when she ventured a plea for a
carpet and a few pictures to make
the room more cheerful and home
like. Frank had a passionate love for
the beautiful in nature and art a
love that had been -dwarfed and
crushed al) his life. -
Mrs. Raymond was very fond of
flowers. A friend gave her cuttings
and roots from her own yard, and
one fine spring morning, when Dea-J
con Raymond had started for town,
frank set to worK in nign Bpinis.
He spaded and laid out some flower
beds in the front yard, set out his
roots and cuttings and sowed some
seed.
At noon his father returned, and
soeing the freshly stirred earth, in
quired into the matter ; then pulled
up the choice roots that had been
set and tossed them over the fence,
because they would interfere with
the growth of the grass.
There was really no chance for
Frank Raymond in the home that
his father made so very uncomfort
able. The morning dawned a clear,
crisp morning in October.
The trees were throwing down
their brilliant bued leaves over the
path. The yard was full of them.
Deacon Raymond utilized autumn
leaves by having them raked up and
mixed with loam for fertilizing the
land.
If he had found a spray of those
gorgeous leaves fastened upon the
cheerless walls of bis son's room lie ,
would have tossed it contemptuous
Iv from the window.
Frank Raymond hung about his
father s wagon regretlully that morn
ing. His heart ached ; he was hungry
for a kind word. If it had only been
spoken it would have turned the
scale. But at last his father noticed
his loitering, and in his imperative
way ordered him to go to his work
and quit idling.
Frank walked off and Mr. Ray
mond drove off.
After his father had gone, Frank
finished the tasks that had been giv
en him, and then went to the house
to bid his mother good bye.
His intention was to goto Weston
a manufacturins town a hundred
miles away. ''" '
Mrs. Raymond had written a let
ter of introduction to a manufactur
er there, whose wife was her friend,
briefly exDlaimnc that her son want
ed work, and asked him, if possible
to give him a chance.
A sad afternoon was that to Mrs.
Raymond. She had given Frank all
the' money she possessed a few dol
lars andhe had gone, after a tear
ful parting and a promise given to
write when he had found work.
Frank Raymond walked sadly.
but resolutely down the road.
Once he turned about anu looked
yearningly toward the house.
His mother was standing oy me
door.
He waved his hand : then, dash-
ingjhe tears from his eyes, walked
quicklv ouward, and was soon out
of sight.
If the inflexible laws of justice
were tempered by gentleness and
forbearance, if homes were made as
attractive as are the gilded haunts
of vjee and crime, our prisons and
reformatory institutions would be
less crowded.
Mrs. Raymond dreaded her hus
band's return, for she knew how an
gry he would be, and thought it
might be a righteous indignation,
still he was a very human deacon
after all, and the contingency was
one that hi would not be prepared
to meet
When Deacon Raymond returned
at dusk, and called out in his quick,
impatient way for Frank to come and
take his horie, Mrs. Raymond re
sponded to the summons, telling him
that Frank had left home.
The Deacon looked unutterable
things, and uttered a few words that
had better leen unsaid.
'Ungrateful, good-for-nothing boy,'
he exclaimed at last, after he had
exhausted all the expletives that a
deacon's vocabulary may lawfully
contain, 'after all my toiling and
saving to lay up money for him.'
If a little of it had been judicious
ly used instead of being laid up, his
wife thought the trouble might have
been averted, but she considerately
left the opinion unexpressed.
After that night Deacon Raymond
rarely mentioned Frank's name, but
he grew more morose, if possible,
than before.
When Christmas day came, and
he and his wife sat down to their
bountiful meal, the deacon did not
enter into the enjoyment of those
comforts with his accustomed zest.
Frank was not there ; he did not
give that reason, however, for his
poor appetite, but guessed he was
getting dyspepsia.
Two Christmas seasons had gone
by since Frank Raymond left h
home.
His mother had heard from him
many times during that time.
Mrs. Leslie, the wife of Frank's
employer, had written several let
ters, speaking of Frank in high
terms of commendation, and telling
how much confidence her husband
reposed in him.
He was working bard, saving his
wages to go to school "when he had
earned enough.
Once he wrote:
You might give my love to fath
er, if he would care; but he won't,
I suppose.'
And Mrs. Raymond accidentally
left the letter where her husband
would be sure, to pick it up, and
came back for it just in time to see
him give it a toss on the table aa she
opened the door, with a muttered
expression that sounded like : 'Poor,
foolish boy 1' ' -r . ;
i Two years passed since Frank
Raymond went from home. , . -
'Mary,' he said, one evening, after
he had hung about the house for a
week in an aimless, dispirited way,
'I am afraid I was a little too close
SEPTEMBER 26, ISS3.
with our boy. I was saving for him,
but maybe if I'd given him a little
more liberty he would have stayed
at home.' .
'Do you think he would come
home, Mary, if I should send for
him?'
'I feel sure that he would,' his wife
answered in a low tone.
"I'll tell you what we will do,
Mary,' he said, eagerly ; 'we will fix
that south front chamber for him.
Use your good taste and make the
room as pretty as it can be made.
You shall have all the money you
need and get things that are good.
Get pictures, get a good case full of
books, and, well, you know what he
will like. I'll 6ee if we can't have
our boy again. It was a mistake. I
see it now. I was too hard with him,
but I thought I must hold a tight
rein or he would go to ruin; the
wonder is that he wasn t ruined
from the course I took with him.'
Fresh paint, with delicate paper
on the walls, a soft, mossy looking
carpet, that harmonized with the pa
per, then a costly set of furniture
with the upholstering to correspond,
Blue and drab were the prevail
ing tints Frank's favorite colors.
Curtains of a delicate drab hung in
rich folds from the windows, gar
nished with blue lamorequins and
inner curtains of frosty lace.
Fine paintings and engravings
were hung upon the walls. A richly
carved walnut book case in one cor
ner of the room showed a carefully
selected collection of books for study
and recreation.
Mrs. Raymond had transformed
the room into an enchanted cham
ber. When the south chamber was
in readiness, the deacon proposed
that the parlor and sitting room
should be freshened and refurnished
and a piano was placed in the par
lor.
Their preparations were at last
completed, and Mrs. Raymond wrote
to Frank, inviting him to come home
and spend Christmas. She wrote,
too, that his father would be glad to
see him.
Frank Raymond was surprised,
but thankful that his father had re
lented, ami lost no time in returning
home.
Deacon Raymond met his boy on
the threshold with outstretched arms
and the patient wife and mother, as
she looked with tears of joy running
down her face, felt that fur years of
waiting had received a rich reward.
Frank Raymond was speechless
with emotion when, at bed time, he
was shown to the south chamber
prepared for his comfort He felt as
though he was m dreamland with
bis eyes open, everything seemed so
unreal.
- He slept at last, and was awaken
ed by his " father in the -morning to
go to the barn, where a fresh sur
prise awaited him.
Kitty, the chestnutcolt, full grown
and well trained for service, and
bought b' the deacon for his son's
special um! was in her stall.
Frank Raymond resigned his po
sition in the manufactory at est-
on, not without the deep regret of
his employer; but at last home and
happiness were held out to him,
and famished for affection as he had
been all his life, he would have re
fused a throne for his father's love.
Seeing llattle Field.
He was from Syracuse, and he
said he'd give almost anything to see
a battle-field. It was therefore ar
ranged that we should go up to
Fort Pillow in company. I never
saw such an enthusiast on the sub
ject of war and fields of carnage. He
went out and bought three war his
tories before we left Memphis, and
on the way up he talked war to
every man who would listen to him.
I warned him not to expect to see
too much, and not to be disappoint
ed if Greeley, Headley and Abbott
had made some errors in describing
the lay of the fields,, which none of
them had seen within five hundred
miles.
"Oh, of course not," he replied,
" I don't expect to see more than a
fort, five or six bursted cannon, a
tew skulls, half a dozen cannon
wheels and a lot of musket barrels.
I shall bring away about a dozen
swords and revolvers as relics, and I
wonder what it would cost to
get one of the old cannon up to Syr
acuse ?"
When the boat swung in at Fort
Pillow I saw ray friends chin begin
to fall. The landing was a steep
slide for a distance of a hundred feet
and the mud was a foot deep. We
dropped off the cang-plank, and the
steamer went her way.
Vw hat's this?" inquired the
Syracuse man, as he looked up the
grade.
" This is an historic bluff. Prepare
to see a battlefield."
We tugged and etrained and swore,
and finally reached the bluff, each
man plastered with mud from collar
button down.
" Now, then, said I," after we had
scraped off a part of our loads," over
there is the fort. You can see where
all thf big guns were mounted.
Above it must be the citadel. Over
to the right is the ravine up which
Forest's men advanced, and "
u See here," interrupted the gen
tleman from New York, "do you call
this a battlefield ?"
" Certainly."
u Thi9 infernal sand those thick
ets that swamp them two nigger
cabins are a battle-field, eh ?"
f "Of course."" "
. " Well, sir, it's an infernal fraud
a dead swindle on honest men, and
I've a good mind to punch your
head for bringing me up here ! Bat
tlefield, eh? Why, sir, if I couldn't
take ten acres of Northern tamarack
swamp and make a better battlefield
than this I'd never look a decent
man in the face again ! Go on with
you! You are a liar and a de
ceiver !" '
. And he went off and sat down on
a log and sulked and growled and
grumbled for six long hours, and
when I showed him bullets and
breast-plates and other relics, he
charged me with having brought
them up from Memphis in my pock
ets. M.Quad.

Hot "Waiter m a Meaicine.
A young man who was compelled
to resign his position in one of the
puhlic schools of this city because
he was breaking down with consump
tion, and who had eysr since been
battling for life, although with little
apparent prospect of recovery, was
encountered several days ago in a
Uroadwav restaurant
"I see," he said, "that you seem
surprised at mv improved appear
ance. No doubt you wonder what
could have caused such a change,
Well, it was a very simple remedy
nothing but hot water.
"Hot water?"
"That's all. You remember my
telling you that I had tried all the
usual remedies? I consulted some
of the leading specialists in affec
tions of the lungs in this city, and
paid them large fees. They went
through the usual course of experi
mentation with me under all sorts
of medicines I went to the Adiron
dacks in the summer and to Florida
in the winter, but none of these
thin us did me any substantial good.
I lost ground steadily, grew to be
almost a skeleton, and had all the
worst symptoms of a consumptive
whose end is near at hand. At that
juncture a friend told me that he
had heard of cures being effected
by drinking hot water.
"I consulted a physician who had
paid special attention to this hot
water cure and was using it with
many patients. He said :
"There is nothing,you know, more
dilhcult than to introduce a new
remedy into medical practice, par
ticularly if it is a very simple one
and strikes at the root of eironeous
views and prejudices that have long
been entertained. I he old-school
practitioners have tried for years to
cure consumption, but they are as
far from doing it as ever.
"Now. the only rational explana
tion of consumption is that it results
from defective nutrition, It is al
ways accompanied by mal-assimila-tion
of food.
In nearly every case the stomach is
the seat of a fermentation that nec
essarily prevents proper digestion.
The first thing to do is to remove
that fermentation, and put the stom
ach into condition to receive food
and dispose of it properly. This is
effected by taking water into the
stomach, as hot as it can be borne,
an hour before each meal. This
leaves the stomach clean and pure,
like a boiler that has been washed
out. Then put into the stomach
food that is in the greatest degree
nutritious and the least disposed to
fermentation.
"No food answers this description
better than tender beef. A little
stale bread may be eaten with it.
Drink nothing but pure water, and
a3 little of that at meals as possible.
Vegetables, sweets, tea, coffee and
alcoholic liquor should be avoided.
Put tender beef alone into a clean
and pure stomach three times a day,
and the system will be fortified and
built up'until the washing away,
that is the chief feature of consump
tion, ceases, and recuperation sets
in."
"This reasoning impressed me. I
began by taking one cup of hot
water an hour befere each meal, and
gradually increased the dose to three
cups. At first it was unpleasant to
take, but now I drink it with a rel
ish that I never experience in drink
ing the choicest wine. I began to
pick up immediately after the new
treatment and gained fourteen
pounds within two months. I have
gained ground steadily in this try
ing climate of New 1 ork ; and 1 tell
you, sir. I feel on a sure way to re
covery." Here an old gentleman who had
been standing near, and evidently
listening to the conversation, turned
to the teacher and said : "This rem
edy of hot water drinking has at
tracted my attention for some time.
It has been of immense service in
relieving me of a terrible dyspepsia
that tormented me for many years.
I tried numerous able physicians,
and there is probably no medicine
that is prescribed for such an ailment
which was not given to me; but
nene of them gave me any perma
nent benefit But the simple remedy
of drinking hot water, accompanied
by a rational regulation of my diet,
has entirely cured me, advanced
though I am in life. It was not the
dieting alone that did it I had
tried that before. It was the nse ot
hot water that cured me, for that
made it possible to derive benefit
from a judicious diet. I have also
found this treatment of great benefit
in kidney diseases, which are large
ly owing to mal-assimilation of
food."
The teachers listened very atten
tively to the old gentleman's re
marks :
"I am glad to learn that you ex
perience, he said, agrees so luiiy
with mine. I have become acquaint
ed with various cases in which this
simple method of treatment has ef
fected permanent cures after all ef
forts of the physicians had failed.
1 am convinced simply from what 1
have Been, that almost any distur
bance of the human system that re
sults from disorders of the stomach
can be alleviated, and, in most in
stances, cured in the same way.
The very simplicity of . the thing
may cause seme to hesitate about
attaching much importance to it;
but, like the ventilation of your
dwellings, it may prevent disease
and effect cures where all the drugs
of the pharmacopce will fail." Al

Everything at Second-Hand.
This business is fifty years old,'
said a New York dealer in second
hand material. We occupy nearly
forty city lots. They are coyered
with second-hand building material.
We can supply brick for interior
walls, or brown stone for front walls,
or granite columns for ornamental
high stoops or porticos. It is all
ready for use, and it is of known
quality. We have thousands of feet
of timber and lumber of various
kinds. Every kind of lumber used
in building a house can be found
here, joists, studding, rafters, and
roof boards. The roof itself can be
had, too. Tin deteriorates some,
but elates do not so much. We can
supply a tin roof that is as good as
it was the day it was laid. We have
several cords of slates. Our lumber
is better than new. It is thorough
ly seasoned. We supply the lum
ber for about all the swell mansions.
Every piece of timber in Vander
bilt's mansion came from this yard.
When men put thousands of dollars
into frescoes they want to be certain
there will be no shrinking in the
timber of their houses.'
You do not confine your attention
to dwellings, do you ?'
'Your question reminds me of a
man from a neighboring village
who came here. He said he guessed
he'd got an order that would puzzle
us to fill. He wanted a second
hand pulpit. He was astonished
when I showed him a complete out
fit We had stained glass windows,
crosses, altars, candlesticks, rails,
mourning benches, a sprinkling
bowl, and a baptistry. I showed
him a full assortment of pews for the
body of the church. Then I offered
him a second-hand steeDle with a
bell complete and all set up. He
bought a pulpit and paid for it in
silence. He was so astonished he
couldn't talk. We have everything
necessary to fit out either a mansion
on Fifth avenue or a shanty for a
squatter sovereign ; we just sold a
pair of Italian marble mantels that
probably cost S50C) each when new.
They are as good now as then. You
can almost see through them they
are so clear and the carvine is exqui
site. 1 hen we have mantels in va
rious kinds of colored marble, and
two in Mexican onyx that are beau
tiful. Booth's Theatre is now mak
ing its way here piecemeal. Here is
a desk that was made in the time of
Queen Elizabeth.'
How much of a business is it?
' Ours is not the only yard. Last
year we sold $35,000 worth of fire
wood from the waste, and the toUl
sales amounted to a little more than
$250,000. We used to give the
kindling wood away. Now it keeps
a eood many teams going. There are
317 men on our pay roll. It takes
a9 great skill to take fine work out
of a house as to put it in.' .V. 1".

Peter's New Year's Present.
One New Year's day James Gor
don Bennett arrived at the Union
Club towards night, having made
many calls. He sat down in a chair
and observing that some members
of the club were presenting Peter,
the venerable porter of the club
with $5 bills as New Year's presents
he called him over, and fishing
down into his pocket, brought up a
bill.
' Peter, mv friend,' he said with
out looking at the bill, ' t ike
that'
' Thank you, sir,' said Peter, his
eye glistening at the sight of a S20
bill,
Bennett gazed at him a second and
said :
'Wait, Peter,' anddivinng down
into another pocket brought up an
other bill.
4 Take that, Peter.'
The performance went on for fully
five minutes. Every time that the
astonished Peter attempted to retire
he was called back, and the prenta
tion of every kind of bill from 81 to
850 went on to the amusement of the
spectators. When no more bills
came forth Bennett stopped and went
away. Peter asked some of the
members what he had best do with
his hat full of money. He was ad
vised to ask Mr. Bennett the next
time became whether he had not
given him by mistake more than he
had intended. So the next day
when Bennett appeared Peter said
to him :
' Mr. Bennett, I think you gave
me more of a New Year's present
than you intended to do last
night'
Bennett looked at him for a few
seconds, not bavins the glimmer of
an idea how much he had given,
or whether he had given anything at
all.
'How much did I give to you,
Peter?'
' Eight hundred dollars, sir.'
The position was a delicate one,
but not so much to a man with an
income of a million a year, as to an
ordinary mortal.
That was the amount I intended
for you, Peter,' said Bennett with
out a sign of annoyance.
Garfield's Generosity.
Mr. Hurd, who used to be a Dem

once that I a voung member was
called upon to close on the Demo- j
rratic side a debate, which Mr. Gar-;
field was to close the next morning
on behalf of the Republicans. I felt
the responsibility; I wa9 ex
tremely anxious to make a reply
which would do credit to myself and
not disgrace my party, and I went
to Garfield that night and pointed
out my dilema, and told him I did
not feel equal to the occasion of
making an impromptu response to
a speech which he was fully prepar
ed to make. Like the man tha' he
was like a brother, I might say
he told me what he was going to
say, the whole line of his argument,
and thus gave me the benefit of
twenty-four hours' study in which
to reply to him. You can under
stand my admiratipn, my love, mj
anxiety for that man."

After nine years of assiduous work
George Mexcur. of Bloomfield. Me.,

it was found next to impossible to
keep the number exact. Fifty-two
kinds of wood were used in this
unique piece of furniture, and there
is scarcely a square inch that is not
inlaid. The designs are of a very
wide range, and take in animals,
flowers, trees, agricultural imple
ments, articles of household use, etc.
The novelty of the thing is that
every bit of the inlaying was done
with a jack-knife, and Mr. Mexcur
says he wore out 19 blades in the
work. There ar many drawers in
the secretary, one or two of which
are intended for secret drawers. Mr.

for the article, and thinks that $3,000
will be about half what the desk
cost him in the making.
