CLEAN MONEY. As a godly merchant lay upon his dying bed be spoke to his children ot tbe little property which be had acquir ed and was leaving behind him. 'lt is not much,' he said, 'but there is not a dirtu shilling in it. There is' such a thing as clean money. It may be earned bv diligence in business, by honest labor of hand or mind, or by the severest occupations which are not esteemed as either easy or genteel; but there is money even in the coffers and purses of many who profess to be followers of Christ which all the waters of Jordan could not make them clean. There are the wages of unrighteousness, the gains of ungodliness, the hoarded spoils wrung from the thin hands of the poor and the needy; there are revenues from the traffic in strong drink; there are rents paid to Church-members for places that are used as traps and pitfalls to ensnare unwary men ; there are gains acquirad in a thousand ways which are blackened with the stain of sin and with the curse of God. Thousands on thousands have thus laid up wealth which shall curse them in life and death; which shall ensure their children and beguile them to their ruin, and which shall finally eat their flesh as it were fire when the Judge whostandoth before the door shall come to make in quisition for blood and to punished the ungodly in the last great day. O man ot earth, as you look upon your gaius and treasures, as you count your hoards and estimate your possess ions, ask yourself the question, Is this clean money 1 and decide that, as God shall give you grace and help, nothing which you possess shall deserve the curse that follows the wages of un righteousness, the gains of those who know not and fear not God. [Clinton, (Iowa) Herald.] James Butler, Esq., Clerk of the Roxbury Carpet Co., Boston Mass., employing eight hundred hands, in a late communication concerning the admirable working of an article intro duced into tbe factory, says: The famous Old German Remedy, St. cobs Oil baß efiected several cures among our men, who have been badly hurt in working in the factory, and they pronounce it a success every time. The sign language of the North American Indians has been newly con sidered by Col. Mallery. My children had sore throat. Peru na cured them. M. P. Lenhart, Irwin Station, Pa. A Vassar College girl is going to marry a Chinaman. She wants a husband who can do the housework. If you doubt the merits of Days Kidney Pad, try one, or ask your neighbor who has used one, and it will be all the evidence you will neeb. When a woman burns her finger she cries a little over it, and keeps the burn in good condition to show her husband when he come home, and get sympa thy: A man in the same condition will stick his digit in his mouth, kick over the office stool, swear at the boy and forget all about it. One is the effect of love; the other of business. Ulcerated and itching limbs. Doctors failed. Per una cured me. Sirs. P. Darsom, Nevosburg, Pa. Black silk may be restored to its original deep black color by sponging it with a decoction of common cheap black tea, which contains all the ingre dients of a black dye, viz., tannin and iron, with usually some logwood to add to the flavor. The silk is then ironed with a moderately hot iron on the wrong side, or placed betwwen two sheets. There was, according to the Rail road Gazette, a total of 73 train acci dents in the United States, in the month of June, 1881; thirty-one per sons were killed and seventy-eight in jured ; 20 accidents caused the death of one or more persons; 17 caused acci dent, but not death, while in 3G cases, or 49:3 per cent of the whole number, there was no injury to persons record ed. Mr. James Hurley, the inventor of the modern bicycle, is dead at the age of fifty. He was tbe son of a poor far mer in Allbourne, England, and, show ing great skill as a machinist, became foreman of the Conventry Machine Company, in which capacity his inven tive mind conceived and carried out the bicycle. But the first machine was very rude, and has since been much improved on. Miss Proudfut is one of the loveliest girls in Southern Kansas, and a year ago was the recipient of much admir ing attention from tbe opposite sex : but now there is a disposition on tbe part of the young men to stay away from her. The change is caused by the fact that three of her suitors have re ceived gunshot wounds while in her company. It is not known who the assassin is, but he is supposed to be somebody who, being unable to secure the prize himself, is determined that nobody else shall do so. The hero of 'The Romance of a Poor Young Man ,' at a Millwaukee theatre, resolved as usual to burn the paper which proved his ownership of the proud Marguerite's home. 'This sac riffce do I make to my love,' he cried, and held the document over a lamp. It did not ignite, and he nervously thrust it down the lamp chimney, re peating the heroic remark. Still it wouldn't burn. Next, he took off the chimney, burned his fingers, and extin guished the flame in his mad efforts to make the sacriffce to his love ; but all in vain, and the paper ouly got a crum pling. The Presbyterian Banner gets off the following level headed comment: 'The races, under the phrase 'trials of speed,' have become the principal fea ture of nearly all our County and State fairs and have prevertcd theni altogether from their original design. It is becoming a question whether it would not be better to abolish the fairs altogether rather than they should be used to introduce betting and gambling in all their forms among the people. In the list for tbe approaching united exhibition of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, $41,000 are offer ed as premiums in all branches of in dustry and art, while $12,500 in purses are offered as 'premiums for speed.' which means racing and all the evils which are invitablv connected with it. Is this wise ? Is it right? Has not the public a right to expect something better from these Societies? There is no reason why the racecourse and tbe raising of superior stock should be as sociated together. (CC> week In your own town. Terms and 93 , tree. Addre.-w 11. HAI.LKTT & Co., Portland, Maiue.
