Extract of Apples. la some parts of Ohio new processes of utilizing apple hava been inTented and pnt in operation which place the eoltore of this fruit Tipon an entirely new basis. One process is of making apple-jelly, and one of making "apple-butter." The jelly is a condensed product, requiring a large quantity of apples for a corres ponding small amount of jelly, and it must, by consequence, be dear, and perhaps it is neither as profitable nor as popular an industry as the other, which uses the whole of the apples with little condensation. Apple - butter differs from the apple sauce of New England only in the manufacture. Apple sauce Is made, or it used to be made, by boil ing down eider, that of sweet apples usually preferred, and of adding pared and quartered apples when the whole was boiled just enough to make the apples soft, but not enough to break down the structure. In making apple butter the boiling is continued much longer, and the whole mass is thoroughly mixed together by constant stirring until it becomes like mush, and the more thoroughly this process is per formed the better is the quality, par ticularly in regard to keeping. Both preparations are kept in jars, and often . in barrels made for the purpose. The chief defect of apple sauce was that when warm weather came in the Spring it was apt to ferment and become sour, when it was necessary to reboil it. Apple-butter seldom fermented, and if kept in a cool place it would remain good for years. The commercial apple butter factories provide first a cider mill of improved structure and copper boilers, with tanks for storage and addi tional treatment, all of sufficient capa city to work np 1,000 barrels of apples a day. The proJnct'is packed in barrels, - when it is ready lor shipment to any part of the world, and if properly made, it will keep as well as flour, pork, or molasses, and it is as much of a cash article as either. llow to Kixa a Via. I have seen in my travels a very good way of ringing a -pig. Althongh not exactly novel, it may interest some of our younger readers, and afford information to those - who may, perhaps, be unacquainted with the plan. I have often found ont that much information is held back because those in possession of it simply think, "Oh, everybody knows it and so many good things are allowed to 'slip. The best ring for a hog that I know of is a horse-shoe nail beaten out at the thin end until it is ss fine as wire, which may be passed through a hole in the snout made with a common awl, and twisted two or three times around the head of the nail. This will effectu ally prevent "grumpy" from rooting, and at the same time does not hurt the pip; with sharp points. The main difficulty in ringing a hog is to hold him during the operation. This is done very easily by coaxing him np to a trough, and taking him by one ear ; he immediately squeals, and when the mouth is open a noose is slipped over the upper law. back of tbe tusks, and drawn tight. The end of the rope is passed round a fence-post or anything which may be handy, and the pig will hold back, steauily banging on tne rope, without making any other movement. It is then the work of an instant, having evervthinir all ready, to pierce the snout. and insert and fasten the naiL The rope is loosened, and slips off the pig' jaw in an instant. Good-sized hogs may be thus ringed by one man without the need of any one beside the tools. Rgllino Wheat. A practical farmer writes: "I am strongly disposed favor the old practice of rolling wheat ground after sowing, notwithstanding the theory which of late has gained such extensive credence, and is so gen erally practiced that the ridges should be left to be crumbled down by the alternate freezing and thawing during the winter and spring, and thus feed the roots of the wheat. This "crumbled down" process takes place when the action of the roots is wholly suspended and consequently they cannot be fed by it, and the earth so crumbled down is nothing to the roots in reality but a very insignificant mulch. On the other band, if the land be well rollod in the fall, the earth is tightly compressed around the seed, and the plant is thus enabled to get a better foothold ; the roots are fed while they have an appe tite and will be less affected by the ac tion of the frost. The earth when closely packed does not afford so many harbors for insects, which will most likely prove to be enemies to the plant at some stage of its development. If the surface be smooth it is less apt to retain surface water, and in conclusion, the practice of rolling is in strict accord ance with the nature and requirements of the plant, which thrives best on com pact soil. To Tobacco Growers. The golden rule should be with tobacco planters to make as much as possible from the smallest quantity of ground. This is done by making the land as rich as possible. The tobacco grown on this highly fertilized soil will be of a more saleable quality, and the amount real ized from the acre will be not only in creased by the increased weight, but also irnni the enhanced value per pound. We believe that any soil, suitable for tobacco can be mado to yield, in any htate, as much per acre as is usually obtained in the a tales of Connecticut and Massachusetts. The secret of their heavy products per acre of this crop lies in ue quantity ol manure nsed. and the superior cultivation, especially in the preparation of the ground before the plants are set out. Air Enterprising Gibl. A farmer's daughter commenced in the spring of last year witn W bens of the common breeds and two cocks of the Cochin family. From these she raised 350 chickens. During the season she sold eggs to the amount of $90, and from September 20th to the 17th of January she fatted and sold 150 pairs of fowls for $260 thus receiving for eggs and chickens $350. The time occupied in caring fo her poultry wasjabout two boors a day. I he exercise was health fnl, and the change from the monotony oi indoor duties was bighly pleasing. Kow such girl as this is a decided "success," and worth a higher premium than any of the butterfly girls that flutter in our cities. We trust some young, enterprising, go-ahead farmer's son will be successful in securing this prize. Founder Remedt. To cure this dis ease as soon as the horse is found to be stiff swab the legs and feet with hot water so hot that the hand cannot bear to touch it, but not so hot as to scald. After a short time the legs should be rubbed dry and the horse gently exer cised. Has nersr known this to fail to remedy the trouble. A London magistrate lately put woman nnder bonds to keep the peace against uerseu ior lour montlis. ihe lady in question having failed in her fourth attempt at suicide, was quite naturally apprehended as a miserable failure, and made to give bail no longer to disappoint the public on the subject . of her own voluntary demise. It is a popular delusion that men f never envy woman. Of course they do, but they are too wise to confess it. Doubtless it would be better never to . be born ; but, if that misfortune does ' woenr to one, it is some elevation to be born woman to be accounted an angel here, and predestined to be an angel hereafter. Scientific. Tek Opsiosoofx. This is a new and simple instrument, for the purpose of demonstrating the pulsations of sound. Take a tube of any material, from one to two inches in diameter, and anywhere from two inches to a foot or more in length. Over one tad paste a piece of tissue paper or s thin piece of rubber or goldbeater's skin ; either will do. In the center of the membrane, with a drop of mucilage, fasten a bit of looking glass not more than an eighth of an inch square, with the reflecting aide outward, of course. When dry, take it to the sunshine, and. with the open end of the tube at the mouth, hold the other end so that the beam of reflected light will fall upon the white wall or a sheet of paper held in the hand. Kow speak. or sing, or toot in it. The regular movement of the beam of light with the persistence of vision presents Tery beautiful and re polar patterns, that differ for each different pitch and in' tensity, but are quite uniform for given conditions. If a tune like "Auld Lang Syne" is tooted slowly in it, care being taken to give the sounds the same in tensity, a series of curves will appear. one for each sound and alike for a given sound, whether reached by ascension or descension, so that it would be possible to indicate the tune by the curves : in other words.it is a true phonantograpb. Iiy trial one can find some tone which causes the membrane to vibrate in a single plane, and of course a straight line will appear upon the screen. If, while the sound is continued, the tube be swung back and forth at right angles to the liue, the sinuous line will appear which may be either simple, represent ing a pure and simple sound, or it may be compound-sinuous, showing over tones, precisely as in Konig's mano- metric flames. With the lecture room darkened and using the beam of light from a porte lumicre or from a lantern, these may be projected of an immense size. There is no trouble in the world in making them eight or ten feet amplitude or more if needed. At a distance of but three or four feet, the curves will spread ont to two or three feet in length when a tone is made to which the tube can reason ably respond. A Trade Make Decision-. The ralue of trade mark security to manufacturers and merchants is forcibly demonstrated in the following recent decision of the Supreme Court, rendered in the Circuit Court of the United btates for tbe Eastern district of Pennsylvania, UcKenna, judge, in the case of the Lowell Manufacturing Company against Larned and Starr, which is of interest as bearing on the law of trade marks. The complainants many years ago be gan to send their rolls of carpet to market with a hollow wooden shell in the center of each roIL This shell can both be seen and felt Becoming a distinguishing mark of the goods, they continued its use and adopted it as their trade mark, registering it as such in January, 1871, under the act of July 8, 1870. Defendants copied it, and complainants having brought suit, pleaded that it was an unpatented me chanical contrivance for rolling the carpet and extracting the spindls. After full argument, Judge McKenna decided that the "shell" is a good and valid trade mark, and complainants are en titled to its exclusive use, further de ciding that defendants have infringed. A perpetual injunction is granted, with reference to a master to compute and assess profits and damages. EiotAi.xo.-a tub Dead. For the fol lowing concise description of the "Bru- netti Process" for the preservation of the dead we are indebted to the Journal of Applied ChemUtry. The steps are as follows: 1. Ihe circulatory system is cleansed by washing with cold water till it issues quite clear from the body. This may occupy from two to five hours. 2. Alcohol is injected so as to abstract as much water as possible. This occu Dies about a nnarter at an hnnr Ether is then injected to abstract the fatty matters. This occupies from two to ten hours. 4. A strong solution of tannin is then injected. This occupies lor imbibition two to ten hours. 5. The body is then dried in a current of warm air passed over heated chloride of cal cium. This may occupy two to five hours. The body is thus perfectly pre served, and resists decay. The Italians exhibit specimens which are as hard as stone, retain the shape perfectly and are equal to the best wax models. In this process it will be noticed that those substances most prone to decay are removed and the remaining portions are converted by tne tannin into a sub stance resembling leather, and thus effectively protected against decompo sition ior years. Ice-Makiso Machines. The making oi ice by artiaciai means is a matter of rapidly increasing importance, not only on account of the increase it affords in our domestic comforts, but also on ac count of its usefulness in many mann- factoring branches. The ice-making moo nine Has already been of great ser vice in breweries, as it renders the brewer independent of the supply of natural ice, while the ice machine may also be used for the direct cooling of tne air and tne wort, iiesides, ice made artificially by machinery is colder and therefore harder than natural ice, a fact which has clearly been proved by ex periments lately made, when equal weights of both artificially and naturally produced ice were placed in warm water of equal temperature, the result being uiai uie anmciai ice took more than twice tbe time for melting than was re quired py me natural ice.

Professob R. C. Kedsie. of the Mi chigan agricultural college, has analyzed the air bf a green house, which had been closed for twelve hours, and found it better than pure conn try air. This seems to be a stronsr argument in favor oi plants in sleeping rooms. A calm and philosophic advertise ment, of which the following is a trans lation, appeared in the Paris Journal: "M. A. Lefeuve. 43 bis. Rue Basse du Rem part, begs the lady in black, who does not like draughts in omnibuses, to kindly send him his purse, which ahe found in his pocket on the 1st of July, and to kedp the money it contained aa a reward for her address." 1L Lefeuve deserved the alight return he asked, a Domestic. Table EnQrETix. The correct way is for the one who sits at the head of the table to help first, the first lady on the right : next the first lady on the left, then the second lady on the right ; then the second lady on the left, till all the ladies at the table are served. Then repeat these attentions, in the same order, till the gentlemen are served. The gentleman should always serve his wife before he begins to serve the gen tlemen at the table, but not till all other ladies at the table are served. It is not etiquette to snatch at a plate before it reaches you, and begin to eat as though famished, but leisurely, socially commence eating when the food is ready, and handed yon. Politeness does not require that a person should sit at a table till from five to forty guests are helped, and till the food to be partaken of has become cold. If a person is an expert, or even a good carver, the fowl or meat should be carved at the table while the guest are chatting and indulging in social conversation, but if not if the meat is to be haggled, and cnt into chunks, and the joints only to be discovered after several guesses, explorations and disappointment, all carving should be done on a side-table before the guests are seated. The rule is to have a dinner pass off pleasantly with nothing to make the partakers thereof nervous or unsettled. It is net necessary to go into ccsta cies at the table over the pickles, the sweet coke, the coffee, the meat, etc., etc., lest people think yon never hod anything to eat before, or set you down as a flatterer. But an expression of ap probation of the meal is not ont of place, nor would it be ont of taste to quietly ask the host or hostess how such a dish wss prepared. Remember this. It is not polite or good breeding to make excuses to your guests at the table. To say that the "bread is not baked throngh," the bis cuits have too much saleratus in them.1 "the potatoes are soggy." "the coffee is poor and unsettled.' "the meat is tough or poor," "the top of the pepper box never stays on," or that "my 1 - t, ,.i lr. .. 1 js . . uinoer or ureuaiusi in uui iia iu cut All such remarks are in very bad taste. and mean one of three things. That your food is not fit to eat, or that you wish to spoil the appetite of yonr guests by prejudicing them against wbat you set before them, or that you are fishing after forced compliments. In entertaining guests, you are only required to do wbat you can conveni ently to moke them feel at ease and to make them comfortable, that their stay may be pleasant, and their visit ever remembered with pleasure. Never invite people to visit yon un less yon want and expect them to come. It is not right for one to become in sincere simply to be fashionable or to invite persons to his home who are not wanted there. The Ritfs of long aoo. A writer in Chamber Journal says that in the time of Elizabeth ruffs "in their stiff and formal shape were considered by both sexes rather as the demonstration of a grave and demure character than an aid to beauty. ' It was not long after their introduction that the younger ladies, disinclined to conceal their goodly necks from the eyes of their admirers, opened the front of their ruffs, and elevated the part behind their heads, thus incurring the censnre of that worthy dissector of abuses, Philip Stubbs. A beautiful example of the gorget, called in modern times a whisk, is shown in Vertue's print of Elizabeth's visit to Lord Hudson ; here you see all the younger ladies, including the Queen, with their necks exposed. When the use of starch and poking-sticks had rendered the arrangement of a ruff easy, their size beean rapidly to in crease. Those both of men and women, writes Stow, "became intoler ably large, being a quarter of a yard deep. This fashion was called in Lon don the French Fashion ; but when Englishmen came to Paris the French knew it not, and, in derision, called it 'the English monster. The Family Phtsician, Many fami lies do not have one. They call in now one and now another medical practi tioner as the fancy takes them, or as they hear of this or that "astonishing cure" that has been performed. We do not believe in any such course. Choose some one physician, and stick to him. There is a great deal in the doctor's coming to know your family constitu tion and peculiarities, the action of your system for each individual is in a measure dinerent under remedies, your temperament and disposition. Moreover, don't expect miracles of your physician. hat raan can do, be un doubtedly will do L e., if he is at all worthy ot confidence. Medical science even yet is very largely a groping in the dark. And do n't forget to pay his bills promptly. He is at least as much en titled to prompt compensation for his services as your butcher or grocer. Yonr gratitude at his care is desirable, but it wont feed bun or bis children. To make Toilet Soap. Take one 25c box of concentrated lye ; dissolve it in one-half gallon rain water ; pour in large pitcher to cool. Now melt pounds of clean lard or tallow, when about milk warm pour your cold lye in very slowly and stir rapidly. Continue stirring till it begins to thicken. Now add one ounce of oil of sassafras, or any other perfume you fancy; have ready a clean box, one foot square, pour in and cever air tight. JLiet it thus re main for three or four days ; then cut it up in cakes, and it will be ready for use. Boiled Bread Pudding. Crumb your stole bread into a pudding pail and cover with sweet milk, and set by the stove to warm and soften. Then to every quart of milk add two well beaten eggs, a half cup of sugar, and a hand ful of raisins or sweet dried fruit of any kind. Do not have your pail f nil. as it needs some room to ripe. Pnt the cover on tightly, set in boiling water. and do not allow it to atop boiling till done. If you try that once yon will never make a bated pudding again. Serve with cream. Treatment of Chilblains.. The Canada Medical Journal recommends sulphurous acid in this affection. It should be applied witn a camel-hair brush, or by means of a sprav-prodncer. One application of this usually effects a cure, ibe acid should be used pure. A good wash for hands or feet affected with chilblains, is sulphurous acid, thiee parts ; glycerine, one part; water. one part. The acid will be found par ticularly nseful in tbe irritating, tor menting state ef chilblains. To Japan old Tea-Teats.

They lived next door. It was one of those wooden cities, to common in this country, where each house stands alone in its little garden. It was summer-time, and evening. All the win dows were open, and from every side came scraps and bits of music from sundry pianos, voices and instruments. A flute wailed, over the way, where the "engaged man" lived. A voice and a piano duetted where the young married folks lived ; and the young thing who was "paying attentions" to the First Baptist soprano was trying the bass of certain touching psalms. In the midst of it all, she (the music teacher) began a slumber-song. Then the others paused to listen. When she stopped there was a little pause, and then he played a "Binder Lied." Silence all round. Then she indulged in a waltz. She felt better. Then he galloped, musically speaking. She did not seem to be in the mood, and she replied in "A Song Without Words," It was touching. Then he played a bit of the "Moonlight Sonata." She took, and replied with "Five O'Clock in The Morning I" The flute fellow, the young couple, and all the rest of tbe neighbors, sat up in bed, or in their chairs, held their breaths. and listened. It was becoming inter esting 1 The moonlight fell throngh the trees, and it was very calm and still. The firefly roamed through the garden and tbe doorbugs bounded nuuiiy. Then he played "Come, Rest in This Bosom 1" and some of them stuffed the sheets into their mouths to keep them from laughing. Then there was a pause as if she did not know what to give next. Then she played "Oh! Fair Dove ! Oh 1 Fond Love 1" or music to that effect. There was a suspicion of laughter in the air, but the two beard it not. When she finished, he, too, paused a moment, and then in a sweet and tender manner played, 'I Would That My Love." It was too much I Some one laughed. Then somebody else laughed. Some more laughed. A baby woke up and cried horribly, and somebody "shoo'd" it. The laughter filled the night with din. A certain window came down with a slam, and a piano was heard to shut with a bsng. For all that, they were married within a month. Axecdotes of Public Worthies. George Washington. One day, in a fit of abstraction the juvenile George cut down Bnshrod's favorite cherry tree with a hatchet. His purpose was to cut and run. But the old gentleman came sailing round the corner of the barn just as the f utnre Father of his Country had started on the retreat. "Look here, sonny," thundered the stern old Virginian, "who cut that tree down?" George reflected a moment. There wasn't another boy or another hatchet within fifteen miles. Besides, it oc curred to him that to be virtuous is to be happy. Just as Washington senior turned to go in and get his horsewhip, our little hero burst into tears, and nestling among his father's coat-tails, exclaimed, "Father, I cannot tell a lie. It must have been a frost. ' "My son, my son," stammered the fond parent, as he made a pass for his offspring, "when you get to be first in war and first in peace, just cover your back-pay into the Treasury, and the newspaper press will respect you 1" Daniel Webster. The following anecdote of the great Massachusetts statesman has never before appeared in print: One day, Clay, Webster, and Calhoun met upon the steps of the CapitoL Mr. Clay ventured to remark, in his most affable style, that it looked like rain. Calhoun looked wise, but said nothing. Evidently he took in the whole situation at a glance. It was a crisis for Webster. Carefully laying his thumb behind the third brass button of his blue coat, he gazed from out of those cavernous eyes and grandly uttered these prophetic words: "So, gentlemen, the American people will never forsake the Constitu tion. We shall have fair weather." And so it proved. Lippincott' Magazine. The San Francisco papers tell about a young woman out there who is known aa "the mysterious deaf and dumb girl;" and one of the reporters went round to interview her a few days ago. While he was standing by her taking notes of the intelligence conveyed to him by signs, he happened to remark to a com panion that a girl with such a nose as that ought to be deaf and dumb as a punishment for lending herself to such an outrage. He had only time to wonder why his companion slid down the banister so suddenly, when he was surprised to find himself lying at the bottom of the stairs with the coal scuttle on him and the girl coming down three steps at a time with a rolling-pin in one hand and a bed-slat in the other. He thinks now she is more mysterious than ever. What wine does Jack love best? Why. Port, of course. A Boarding Establishment A car penter s shop.

Two or three years ago the snperin tendent of the Little Wanderers' Home in Boston received one morning a re quest from the judge that be would come np to the court-room. He com plied directly, and found there a group of seven little girl, ragged, dirty, ana forlorn, beyond even what he was accus tomed to see. Aue juuge puuikcu r them, and said : "Mr. T . can yon take any of there ?" "Certainly ; 111 take them all," was the prompt reply. "All 1 What in the world can you do with them all?" "I'll make women of them." The judge singled out one, even worse in appearance than all the rest, ana asked again : "What can you do with this one?" "Ill make a woman of her," Mr. T repeated, firmly and hopefully, He took them all home. They were washed and dressed, and provided witn a good supper and beds. The next morning they went into the school room with the rest of the children. Mary was the name of the little girl whose chance for better things the judge thought was small. During the afternoon the teacher S3id to Mr. T . in reference to her : "I never saw a child like that. I have tried for an honr to get a single smile, and failed." Mr. T said afterward to himself that her face was the saddest he had ever seen, sorrowful beyond expression; yet she was a very little girl only seven or eight rears old. After school he called her into his office, and said pleasantly : "Mary, I've lost my little pet. I used to have little girl here that would wait on me, and sit on my knee, and I loved her very much. A kind lady and gentle man adopted her, and she went to live witn them. I miss her, and I should like yon to take her place, aud be my little pet ; will you ? A gleam of light flitted over the poor child s face as she begun to understand him. He gave her ten cents, and told her that she might go to a store near by and buy some candy. While she was gone he took two or three newspapers. tore them in piece, and scattered them about the room. hen she returned, in a few minutes, ho said to her: "Mary, will you clean up my r8ico lor me? pick np them papers, and make it loot real nice. She went to work with a will. A little more of this sort of management treating her just like a kind father would wrought the desired change. She went into the school-room after dinner with so changed a look and bear ing that the teacher was astonished. The child's face was absolutely radiant; and half fearful of some mental wan dering, she went up to her and said "Mary, what is it? What makes you iook so happy ? "Oh ! I've got somebody to love me!" the child answered earnestly, as if it were heaven come down on enrth. That was all tbe secret. For want of love that poor little one's life bad been so cold and desolate that she had lost childhood's faith and hope. She could not af first believe in the reality of joy or Kindness lor her. It was this cer tainty that some one loved her and de sired her affection that lighted the child's soul and glorified her face ! Mary has since been adopted by wealthy people, and lives in a beautiful home in Xear England ; but more than ail its comforts and beauty, ruumng like golden thread throngh it all, she hnds the love of ber father and mother. Shall we who have many to love, and to love ns, refuse to lie comforted, to see any value and use in life, any work for our hands to do, because one of our treasures may be removed . from our sight from our home and core to better? And oh ! shall we let any of these little ones go hungering for affection go np even unto God's land, before they hnd some body to love them ? Wherefore Old Maids. Seven reasons why old maids have not married: Somo cling to family name don't want to merge into tbe Smith family. Some prize their beiuty too high don't find a purchaser. Some are too literary. Literary women should not marry; Mrs. Henians found the feeding of five hungry boys uncongenial to her taste ; Mrs. Sigourney was un happy in her domestic relations ; Mrs. Fanny Kemble preferred to he the hero ine of her own tragedy, "Francis the First," than to be Mrs. Butler the second ; Hannah Moore, Miss Edge worth, Miss Sedgwick, whose books have made the world better than they found it, did well to remain single ; the same may be said of Alice and Phoobe Cary, Louisa Alcott, Elizabeth Phelps, Emily Faithful, and many others. These are wedded to their works. Like Michael Angelo, they say, "Onr works shall be our children." Miss Uerschel was too much absorbed in the stars for "sparks" below ; Miss Mitchel preferred comets to bachelors ; Anna Dickinson wouldn't hitch on even to a Senator. Miss Anthony marry ? Marry a man ? No, never ! unless an executioner. Then all the tyrant men should have one neck, placed on one block, and she bold the axe. Some are too religious ; these are the Ann Lees, Ann Hutchinson, the Joans of Arc that have set the world on fire with religious enthusiasm. Some are too much absorbed in philanthropic work Florence Nightingale, Miss Bar ton, Miss Carpenter, Dorothy Dix. Some have no knack to win a lover. Lovers are often fools, caught with chaff. Some are too modest ; modest little violets hid in the lowland meadow. Some are too bold, too tongney ; they rattle like an alarm clock ; they make a soldier of a man if he will only enlist. Fidelity ia Little Thins. Let ns remember that God looks in our actions only for the motive. The world judges ns by appearance ; God counts for nothi ng what is most dazzling to men. What he desires is a pure intention, true docility, and a sincere self-renunciation. All this is exercised more frequently, and in a way that tries us more severely, on common than on great occasions. Sometimes we cling more tenaciously to a trifle than to a great interest. It would give no more pain to relinquish an amusement than to bestow a great sum in charity. We are more easily led away by little things, because we believe them more innocent, and imagine that we are less attached to them ; nevertheless, when God de prives ns of them, we soon discover from the pain of privation how excessive and inexcusable was our attachment to them. The sincerity of onr piety is also impeached by the neglect of minor duties. What probability is there that we should not hesitate to make great sacrifices, when we shrink from slight ones t But what ia most dangerous to the mind ia the habit it acquires of unfaithfulness. True love to God thinks nothing small. All that can please or oispiease turn is great, it does not produce constraint and weah scruples, but it places no limits to its fidelity ; it acts with simplicity, and as it is not embarrassed with tilings that God has not commanded, it never hesitates a moment about what he does command, whether it be great or small. FcneUrn. "I hold it to be a fact," says Pascal, "that if all persons knew what they said of each other, there would not be four friends in the world. This is mani fest from the disputes to which indis creet reports from one to another give rise." 1 Tsx Danbury Xevct Man says : 'One of the most annoying complaints in tne range of medical knowledge is m cold in the head. The man with a cold in his head is a mournful fabric to contem plate. He loses his interest in every thing but a btove and a handkerchief, and were he called upon to give an ex pression, it would bo found that his idea of heaven was a place where stove foundries and cotton mills were about equally divided. His eyes are watery, his skin drawn tight to his flesh, his nose is swollen, of a fiery red, and sorer than a strange dog. What he mostly fears is the draft, but in spite of his most active endeavors he is sure to get into it ; and he is hardly able to con ceal his surprise at tbe pressure of busi ness the family is subjected to, which keeps the door open about two-thirds of the time, and establishes an almost uninterrupted current of air about his legs. Screwed np back of the stove, with his nose like a beacon shining above it, he patiently holds his hand kerchief to the blaze, and finally slips into a mental calculation as to which will first lose its moisture his cotton or his blood. There he sits all day, with the handkerchief as a flag of truce tendered by the fire in his head to the fire in the stove, and at night he goes scudding through a cold hall, sneezing at every leap. Long after every one else is asleep he starts np with a terrific sneeze, and finds that hia feet are stick ing out below the quilts, and that the handkerchief which he meant to have carefully located for just this emergency, is nowhere to be found. This distress ing malady is the Wandering Jew of ailments, invades every household.and, bnt a few years since, could, with per fect impunity, snap its feverish finger in the very face ef medical science. But the hydra-headed monster is now brought under the most perfect control of medical science, as demonstrated by the almost instant relief afforded by snuffing a few spoonfuls of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy liquid, which soothes and quenches the feverish heat as if by magic, suddenly arresting the frantic rage of this heretofore untamed barba rian, and, in twenty-four to thirty-six hours, "Richard is himself again."

The Texas Xtw Vorktr says: "An old Scotch phy sician once said to one of his paticuta: 'Keep your feet warm, your head cool, and your bowels open, an' there's little "ilse" can harm ye.' This aphorism is full of wisdom, and expresses exactly what Dr. Walker's California Vine gar Bitters will do for yon.
