mOTIIKR, WATCH*Mother, watch,tliose little foot! Climbing tip lifes slip’ry, steep ;Watch them that, tlicy do not fall,Oc stray beyond your recall.Keep them near.you wliile you mtiy,For they cannot always stay.Youth and childhood hours speed fast,. And these days will soon be past,A few years now by-yaur side,Then they’ll enter the-untried ;

. Thor must? soon go forth inhle—Aet their part amid the strife.And'the, world, is. cold and wide—What therein will them betide,Mortal eye cannot behold And to aoue that secret’s told..

: Bufcwe.knowtinnch anxious cai-c They will some day have to.bear;I ’ass along as best they, may, llongh oft.time3 will be theiivway.Sorrows they will, have- their shave,

' Grievous? burdens have to boar;They will many bonlliets meet,Many thorns will pierce their feet.

. Life’s realities arotstern,Tnis full soon their .heart will learn; And its road is ever frought With hard battles to be fought.

Tenderly, then,, watch those feet,Make that little life most sweet;While yon have it by your side,Make it peacefully to giide.Make its pathway bright and fair;Shield it with your loving-cure ;Guide it into wisdom’s way,That it. may not go astray.“As the twig inclines the tree,”As the. child the man may be.0, then guide that mind aright,That its life may know, no blight.

The red blood Ved iltily to Ernest Etheridge bufc Miga In_ gestre’s musical 1‘obimed softly through the room'.L,. sat by tbe table, fixedly pale, L es on a book, but the PWAWges danccc. before those eyes;W i8s xnges. trc ® fiiibt,: sweet chattering pretty nonsense, wij biuc 6jes fixed on the old mait.„ soun<jed in her oars like the ig,IOav.of a waterfall.

'bors dropped in, and L,er<J mor0 singing, and some dan' d j anet played waltzes and reCn^ qua _ rillea until the midnign^ 8trUCk ' and she toiled up to t too fagged, in body and \ eycn t6 think;- ... . * , l '- But she was up carlv*j tylafc up with the April birds l, in fch(J scented trees: outside, ithe sea, shore,, staring; yreardy ; eyeB.

: ’ “ Oh !” she thought, oreatttref there _ aro • in" t!

Men who love, and arc never false; women who trust, and arc never be­trayed. And I— to think L should have staked on one throw and lost!”

A man’i step: came ‘ crunching over' the sand— a man’s clear voice singing: “ O’ er ’tlie mum amang the heather,’-’ , on the shrill wind. She knew both step: and voice, but sho never turned.

“ Janet,” cried Ernest, “ I thought I should find you-bere ! I-know what' heathenish hours you keep, and what heathenish places you frequent.”

Sho never answered; her eyes were fixed on the fair sea-line, her lips closed in, nameless pain. He threw himself on the sands at her feet, and looked up with laughing blue eyes in her changeless face.

“ My solemn Janet! l\rhat has come over you of late? Where,has your sunshine, your sparkle,: your youth,’ your smiles* your color gone ? Tell me what it is, Janet ?”

“ Nothing you would care to know.” XTe shifted uneasily, his eyes left

her pale, still face and wandered sea­ward. .

‘ ‘You know Jennie:?” '

‘ •Yes, I know.” ;“ f wanted to speak to you before I

went. Janet; that is the reason why I got up at this unchristian hour and looked for you here. I don’t see the necessity ot hurrying our marriage as Uncle Etheridge wishes to hurry it— we are both young enough.to: wait., I sbhukl like to spend this summer in Switzerland aud Italy, if yon have no objection.” -

“ I have none;”£DVnd when l come back in autumn,

Janet, will you be my little wife ?”She rose up straight and looked in

his smiling, handsome face for the first time.

“ N o,” she said, steadily, “ I will, never be that! Here is your ring, Mr. Etheridge, and here tye part.”

,‘ cJanet!”He sprang to Ins feet,' and stood

looking at her in surprise, in a sort of terror— in nothing else.

“ Here is your ring-—take ifc!. You will not ? Then let the waters take it, less faithless than y ou !”

She drew the band of gold, studded with brilliants, from her finger, and . flung it far into the sea.

“ Janet, listen to me ! Janet— good Heaven, are you. mad?”

“ I would be if I listened to you. Go, marry Eva Ingestre to-morrow, if you like! What is it to m e?”

She turned and walked steadfastly away, leaving him a petrified gazer.' Straight up to her own room, there to sink by the window, her arms drop­ping on the table, her face lying onthem. Not in tears— not in womanly sobs, only in mute, deadly pain, weary of life, of herself, ot the sun­shine, of all the world J.

“ False !” her tortured1 heart kept, crying; “'false! And I loved him so- dearly— so dearly!” -

The breakfast bell rang,. She rose up and went down, a little paler, a- little stiller than, her .wont— nothing more.

Old Mr. Etheridge was there, bright and lively. - Miss Ingestre was there, chattering like a magpie, her pretty ringlets freshly perfumed, and curled, her roses at their brightest. Ernest was there, silent, and sulky, but glad;,

the: truth must be known, that he was so well out of the scrape.

She gives; me up of her -own a c -! cord;” lie thought, with a sense of in­ju ry ; “ nobody can blame me. I ’ll speak to Eva after breakfast;” .

But he was forestalled. After breakfast his uncle carried Eva off to get her opinion about some ornament­al, gardening to be done, and his ten­der .declaration had to wait. Janet attended to her household duties, andthen, with her work basket; went:toutand sat down by the open, .window; presently the aching eyes closed tin dull, dreamless sleep. ' . '

With voices in her ears she awoke? — voices that blended; with her sleep, and that confused-- her. ' They, came from the: garden ; the voice of Ernest-, tender, pleading; the voice of Eva, uweet'and clear.- “ Marry you, Ernest! Good gra­cious me ! what an -idea! and you are engaged to that solemn Janet?”

“ She is engaged to me'no longer ; she has broken off of her “own free, will—jealous of you;” : '

“ And .you want me to take-what another ’lady rejects ! Flattering, really ! A thousand thanks, Mr. Er­nest Etheridge; at the same time— n o !”

for Heaven’s sake I love.' you with my-

“ E v a ! Eva listen to me ! whole” - - ■ “ H eart! . Of course you do ! And you will 'break it' because I refuse ? I shall bo shocked and, disappointed if you do not. There ! don’t Goax— I can’t marry you because I ’m going to marry your uncle! Now tho truth’s out?!”

Janet- rose abruptly .and left the window, fully awake-at last. . ,

•“ I never thought of that,” ' she' said, on her way to her "room. “ I might have seen, ? but I never -thought of that,”' She kept her chamber until dinner

time, and then went: down- to preside- at table, with that ’ fixed? and".''stone-: like* face.- Only-her uncle "and, Eva were there. . * * ? '■

“ To think the" b oy .. should go-, off; five hours‘earlier than:‘ho:need,’ ’) Un-? clc • Etheridge grumbled.?: , “ Janet; how can you allow* such capers ?’•’ 't

Miss, Ingestre - looked- at her, a- ma­licious sparkle on- her turquoise,blue eyes,-a milicious. smile on,her rosebud lips.:"' Miss Stuart, met‘tbolook stead­fastly. . ■- , “ Mr. Ernest Etheridge’s ' comings and goings are nothing to me ; .h'e is free as the . wind' that blows.-’. But' when. am-I to, congratulate?; you,-.my, good uncle ?” ;

' M y .U E ^looked at Eva.“ " ”

. i‘So? y.ou have, fold her, pussy ??’ ’- .“I protest I have done noth'ing. of the sort;”, -cried the .amazed* Miss In

gestre; “ but.then she is a witcb, and knows everything;’ ’ ' >. “ Precisely. And when is it to be?”

“ Well, sinco you have divined it, in three weeks; and you ■ must be first bridesmaid, ‘Jennie.” - *

“ With pleasure, Miss lngestre.”, “ I ’m afraid you will find it rather

dull during our absence, Janet,” her uncle said? ' “ We are going on a three month’s bridal tour, and” —-

“ And I am- going to London. ,My dear uncle, don’t say' a word. I have set my heart on it; My old nurse lives there. I will lodge with her; and, really, life- in. this rstagnant: vil­lage; is growing insupportable;”

S o ft was settled; and du ly . the wedding came off. Eva, the lovliest o t brides, Mr. Etheridge the most cc- static of old addlerheaded.bridegfooms, ■Janet Stuart, the stateliest and calm-' esb of bridesmaids; * Then? they:were gone— off to Paris to begin with-— and Janet said good-bye to the?old home­stead and was whirled away to the metropolis, where sho wpb soon busy in the precarious venture of writing a book. . * - .

Another summer and it came out, and was a brilliant success. Another, and a second followed, and Jennie Stuart woke up one morning and found.herself famous. Rich; too, or comparatively soy and ' able to gratify thc-desire of her heart, and go abroad to. fair, foreign lands with an admir­ing party of literary friends." Once — oh ! how long ago it seemed now— she had thought to wander through these storied, nations as Ernest’s hap-, py.wife.- So ,the: world? went round; and the years went by, and ten' o f those years had been counted off the great rosary, when Janet Stuart came back to her native land. Wealth and fame had crowned her; but she came back Janet Stuart still, true to that-old dream, a saddened and lonely woman.

There were changes before her. Her uncle was dead; his young wife inherited all his vast wealth ; the fine old' homestead was for sale; and Er­nest was.—where ? No one knew; he had gone out to Australia, having- quarreled with his new aunt, and, consequently, with his old uncle; that was -all Janet could learn- ■ ■

Janet Stuart went back to the vil­lage o f her girlhood, purchaser of. the. fine old homesjead,. where her happi­est days had been spent, and settled down among 'the - familiar sights and sounds to contented old maidenhood. There were: friends there-still glad and proud to .welcome her-—and: she "could doi good ;? and with - her “ gray goose quill,’ -’ ’ and her piano, and her pets, 'she was happy.

She? stood in the -May twilight un-- der the sycamore by the gate, one ra­diant evening, six-montns after her -coming,, tying up early roses,; and singing softly, when a mail came slow­ly up the dusty road and looked at the: pretty picture. A-man who’ was bronzed, and haggard; and weather­beaten, and but poorly clad— with his cap pulled far oyer his eyes— hand­some blue eyes still. He .paused at ihe gate, weary and pale.

“ Janet!” . ■-Bhe turned around with alow, sbrill

cry, dropped tho rose vine and caught both his hands, her face more radiant than the sunset sky. ’

“ Ernest! Oh, Ernest! Ernest!” “ And you are really glad to see

me, Janet?”She -opened the: gate, her happy

eyes shining luminous,. and drew him in. , *

“ Did you know 1 was here?” , sh'e 'asked. ’ :

“ Yes— why ci3o should I have come? But I did not mean to intrude. I only wanted, to look upon your face once more before I went away again.” - “ Went away ? Where ?”

“ Back to Australia. I am poor and can do nothinghere; there is still an opening there. And before I go, dearest, bravest Janet; tell ino you forgive me for.the past.” . - ;■.if Ilis .voice broke down ; the old love,,stronger: ;than ever,-, lopked. at .her ;im>? ploringly, hopelessly out'of his eyes.; She -stood before him, * her hands lightly,on his. shoulders, her dear face .smiling up at -him' so tender; so itrue.

•“ You ■ must not g o ; you must not* leave me! Dear Ernest, I don’ t for- ‘give—1 only love you !” ?; r

Later, when the crystal crescent .was at' -its highest- and- last "lights were dying .out of the homestead win- •do.ws, Ernest Etheridgo walked up the peaceful, moonlit road to his hotel. But with, oh! such an infinitely hap­py face, and singing as he .went:Say I am old, and gray and sad;? . Say that- health and strength have

- misaed me ; , ? :.j-.;v. ?;Say I ’hi poor, but' also add*—. '?■ -.

Patriotism in Banbury.They were going to get up a Lady

Washington tea party for the benefit of their society. It was to come off on the night of the 22d. And of an afternoon a -few days before, several ladies met at the house of one of the number to perfect the arrangements. It.was determined to give a grand af- fair^-rsomething especially designed ta transcend the tea? party by a rival or­ganization last year. . .To this purpose it became' necessary to .devote the most careful thought, to all the details, > and this was clone. In fact, it would be difficult to find a more conscientious committee.in a hamlet the size of Dan-? bury. When all the particulars were arranged, ?and the various stands and minor offices asrigned to. the ordinary members of the session— the import­ant question as to who should, take the leading character was brought up.

With a view to do without, the- de­lay and feeling, of balloting, 'the'.presY idenfc kindly offered to do Lady Wash-. ington herself. She said she felt it was not* a favorable selection, but she was willing to take it, so' that there need be no discussion or ill-feeling;. ? I f she .thought: she had not placed a sufficiently modest estimate upon her qualifications for the post, she: was presently s e t at rest oc- that head. Her offer was received with silence.

“ What do you think ?” she asked. “ I ’m willing to do it.”-

“ Lady Washington never-‘weighed’ 250'pounds,” omniously hinted a thin lady, with light eyes.

. “ She?.? had fab enough on ' her. to grease a griddle, which is more’n some folks can claim,” • retort­ed the president, with anything but a? dreamy expression to her face. The tall? lady’s eyes grew a shade darker and her lips shaped- themselves as if they 'were- saying, “ hussy,” but it is probable they were not.

“ As our two friends are not likely to agree,” observed a lady whose face showed that she was about to metam­orphose into a barrel of prime? oil, and precipitate herself on the/trou- bled waters, “ I would sugges.t that I take the character.”

“ Humph!” ejaculated the presi­dent. ' . - .

“ Is there any .objection to my be- ing-Lady Washington ?” said the hew party, facing abruptly the president, and emptying out the oil and -filling up the barrel immediately with a su­perior grade of vinegar.. “ I don’ t'kDOW'of any, if some one

will demonstrate that - Lady Washing­ton had a wart on her nose,” replied the president,' with unblemished se- .renity. U'U. U '/L -; /.... / 5‘: 1

“ Am I to be insulted ?” boldly de­manded the proprietor.-or the warfc.

UCDhe truth ought not to be insult­ing,” replied-the president. * - -? “ I suppose our president thinks sho would b'e a perfect Lady Washington,” ironically suggested . ‘a weffi/fecbJ woman, who saw her chance for. tak­ing the character dej ectedly em erge: from the little end o f the horn. *

“ I don’t know- as.I would be per- .fect in that-role,” replied the presi­dent, “ but as there will be .strangei'S: present at that ■ party, I shbuldn’t .want-Thbrnsto-think that? thejafearest : approach?

Strange Revelation by. the Micro­scope.

There is a story that an eminent microcopist, had a bit of substance submitted to him to decide what it was.: To an unaided eye'it might be a morsel of skin which a baggage-smash­er had knocked off the corner, o f a smoothly worn hair trunk. The savant: appealed to the microscope. -Entirely ignorant o f this- tiny bit o f matter, except * as he had’taken counsel with his ins-rument, the wise man declared that it was the skin of a human be­ing, and that, judging frord the fine hair on it, it was from the so-called naked portion of the body, .and fur­ther, that it once belonged to a fair complexioned person; The strange facts?: now- made? known to the- man of science were these: . That, a thous­and years before, a Danish marauder had robbed an English church. In the spirit of the old-fashioned piety, the robber was flayed (let us hope he was killed first) and the skin wa- nailed to the church door. Except1 as tradition or archceological lore? had it, the affair had been forgotton hundreds of years; Time; the great erodent, had long ago utterly removed the offensive thing;' Still, .however, the church door held to its marks of the gr eat shame, for ithe broad headed nails remained. Somebody extracted one, and underneath its flat head was the atomac remnant of that ancient Scandinavian malefactor's pelt— that fair-skinned robber from the north. — Harper's Magazine fo r April.

Foreign Newspapers la the United States.

There are 210 German newspapers issued in this country, 58 of which are published in Pennsylvania and 50; in New York. The French tongue is maintained in 28 papers, of which five are in New York city, and more than twice as many in Louisiana. Scandinavian is a big word, and the language it signifies is a very strange one to us natives, but it has its place in journalism to the-extent of 19 pa­pers, two of whicb_ are in New York, ? while eight are in Illinois. There are IT Spanish newspapers in this country, seven of which are in New-York. The importance of the Dutch ?population of Michigan is shown by the fact that five newspapers are there published in- that tongue, while New. York has only one. Other languages are represent­ed in the journalism of America, and even the “ heathen Chinee” has an organ published in San Francisco. The Cherokee tribe of Indians also has a small paper issued in English instead: of the original language of the Hebrew.

Parchment.More than three thousand years

ago? parchment was? manufactured; the original Scriptures were written upon it. ’ The finest, which is in our day known by the name of “ vellum,” is used to a considerable extent for, recording important matters, such as: documents to be placed in corner­stones o f public buildings, deeds, etc., as-it will ‘not: readily burn, and is comparatively indestructible. Vellum? is made from the skins oi very youDg calves, kids, and lambs; by a- pro.cess of liming to remove the hair and fat­ty substances, then carefully stretch­ed on a frame, and, with an instru­ment called a moon knife, scraped on- both sides; the flesh side is then cov­ered with? fine chalk and rubbed with pumice stone, and, after being leveled and dried, is polished with a prepara­tion of -gum arabie and white of eggs.

Farm and HoiiseMd.Harrowing Fall-Sown Wheat Iii the

Spring. "Mr. Cyril Adams, o f Waterloo,

Jackson Go., Mich.,, writes ns as fol­lows : In the number o f your paper dated Feb. 20, 1876, I notice an item credited to the Toronto (Out.) Globe, relative to harrowing fall-grown seed in the spring. I say, always harrow; i f possible (it w ilf increase the crop" five to ten bushels per acre), unless the ground is all right without stir­ring ; but even in that case the ground should be harrowed to insure seeding. The best implement is a square drag made of 3x3 scantling, with 4-inch cast steel teeth set upright 12 incheB from center to center. Another im­plement is a one-herso buggy rake (a hay rake) ; fiy holding the teeth hard pressed to the ground it works like.a charm—you can work it according to the hardness of the soil. The Thomas' smoothing harrow 13 not calculated for hard baked soil; but it is the best implement I ever used, ox saw used1 for pulverizing sod ground and fitting1 it for a crop. The f^eth arc set too much at angle for v^ry hard Do not be alarmed if v-'u. ? some of the wheat 5 it

ground.w 'out

tV.-'-y root that you destroy in this wyy you will gain double otherwise. My pV’-’-is to sow on my clover and rm oA y eo*"d, then harrow or stir the ground thoroughly; if once is not enough, then I cross it. I f bats or barley ground becomes hard -from any cause, or look3 sickly, it should fie harrowed. It has become a necessity, to roll the ground to in­sure a good crop, especially in dry seasons.—Advertiser,

Rotation o f Fertilizers.One of the beet kept gardens I

ever saw; and one that formerly pro­duced, as fine vegetables as one would wish to look upon, has recently been almost worthless; the soil is deep, rich and friable, but the crops absolutely refuse to grow in it. . Upon inquiry I found that the owner had ascertained the valuable qualities of guano, and had treating his. garden to an annual coat of this highly exhilerating fertil­izer, so that instead o f increasing his crop of esculents, the latter had de­clined in size and quality. He be­lieved like many others, that what was good for the land one season would be good for all coming time. Near this gentleman resided a possessor of a garden that had been cropped to death almost, without any fertilizing mate­rial being applied; but' the owner of it reasoned in a different strain. One year he gave it a generous coat of good stable manure, thoroughly de­composed ; then a compost composed of swamp peat, 'salt and a little lim e; next guano; then -alternated -with mineral fertilizers; and etc. The re­sult has been a gradual increase in his crops, and a wonderful depth of rich productive soil. ' Thi3 rotation of fertilizing material is just as applica­ble to the? orchard, or lawn, as the garden; and I believe as necessary to -the health of the vegetable world as. the animal. A solitary article: of food will prolong life for »& certain length of time; but beyond that period the retrogade commences, and weaken­ed vitality is sufficient evidence that a change of some kind is necessary. — Penn.

A good- method for curing cancer, is to put a slicking plaster over it with a Circular piece cut o f .the cen­ter a little larger than the cancer, and a small circular run of healthy skin next to it is exposed. Then a plaster made of chloride of zinc, blood root and wheat flouv is spread on a piece of muslin of the size, -o f the circular- opening, and is applied to the cancer for twenty.four hours. On.removing it the cancer will be found as though burned into, appearing o f the color and hardness o f tm n;d shoe, :and the? circular rim outside o f it will appear white and parboiled t'?if scalded with hot steam. The wound :s now dressed, and 'the outside rim soon supurates and the cancer ccmes wa* a hard lump, and the.place l\ca,!s up.

To prevent the:skin from discolor­ing- after a bruise,- rake-a,? little dry starch, or arrowroot, merely-moisten it with cold water; :aad place it on the injured part. This is* best if done immediately, .so ?as to prevent the action of the air upon the skin; Those of a quarrelsome dispoeuion may fie interested in knowing that it is inval­uable for black eyes.

Two Boston women, have expended 0700 in money, a year of time, and nearly all their eyesight, in embroider­ing a flag for the Centennial show.

The Bay City Tribune gives out the idea that the Michigan Salt Asso­ciation propose to sink an experiment well to she if they cannot get another brine yielding stratum. They want brine like that at Goderich, which will require no setting. Most of the wells are about 900 feet deep, and they propose to drive one 1,800 feet

I if necessary. A well at Blackmar’B was sunk nearly that far,, but it only give a sandstone brine at 90 per cent.

The silver coin bill was brought be­fore the House o f Representatives on Monday and passed. The bill reads as follows:

A North Carolinian proposes to bring this Centennial Exposition busi­ness to a dead stop. He claims to hold deeds for four hundred acres on which, the Exposition buildings are situated. The deed is dated in 1798, and the value o f the land is estimated at fifteen or twenty millions. Inves­tigation has shown that the property described lies seventy miles away, and is worth about wbat was paid for it in 1798— one dollar an acre. The Ex-

Canada, envious o f the fish and flesh and frog showers in this country, has introduced one o f her own. It is a shower of flies. Millions of flies came down at Riviere de Loup the other day. I f they are our summer’s Supply sent prematurely let us hope they wiU stay there.

To the question, where is the gold to come from to enable us to resume? Gen. Sherman replied:,

Not only is the gold o f the world open to competition, hut wo are the largest gold and silver producing country in the world. The product o f our mines is about one hundred millions a year, and a single year’s product would more than enable us to resume. Our facilities for acccumu- laiing gold are greater than any na­tion. “ But the gold is exported.” So it i3, because we will not use it as the other nations do. Give it occu­pation here and it will remain here, and the products of our farms and workshops will be exported instead It is said we-can make a standard of something that is not exportable. So we can by cutting ourselves off from civilization o f the human race.

Two sharp firms o f Detroit seeds­men have just “ had a little game” at the expense ot Uncle Sam, and to their own profit in the sum of about 02,000. By the ridiculous postage arrangements for “ third-class matter” now In vogue, one cent per ounce is charged by our authorities, while the Canadians charge but two cents for four ounces, or the average rate of half a cent per ounce, to points in the Dominion or in the United States. So the men of seeds quietly exported their immense issues o f spring cata­logues across the river to "Windsor, and mailing them there, the Detroit postmaster had presently a new sen­sation in the receipt o f 728 bags, or several tons o f mail matter which, under a reasonable law, would have been mailed at the same rate on this side the line.

The Attorney General has deliver­ed the opinion that hereafter the in­spection o f illnminating oils for this State should be done in the State in­stead o f at Cleveland as heretofore, consequently State Inspector Day will take up his headquarters in this State, and proposes.to require Deputy inspectors to pay him fifty cents on every dollar earned by them.

From the Lansing Republican we get the following report o f the State Treasury : “ The balance o f cash in the State Treasury, March 25, was 01,230,955.84 ; receipts during; the week ending April 1, were 022,220.- 58 ; payments during same time were 055,889.15; balance in the Treasury April 1, 1876, 01,197,292.77; de­crease for the week 083,662.54.”

B y order o f the President the head­quarters o f the General o f the Army will be removed again to "Washington, and army orders will be promulgated through Gen. Sherman. This is, as is well known, in accordance with his preference, and has the approval of the new Secretary of W ar. Indeed he is credited with effecting the change in order to have the benefit of Gen. Sherman’s experience. Gen. Sher­man himself expressed his view o f its propriety in a recent speech at St. Louis when he said that it struck him “ as a curious feature in the frame­work o f our Government that these two great and costly establishments o f our Government, ‘ the army and navy,’ should have with few excep­tions always been committed to the charge of civilians. Were the Chief Justice or Secretary o f State or A t­torney General habitually chosen from the most respectable profession of ‘surgeons’ instead o f lawyers, he doubted i f the custom would have been submitted to with as much grace and silence.— D etroit Post.

I t is now stated that the trade sil­ver dollars coined at the Carson mint do not contain the amount o f silver prescribed by law, recent coinages falling short from ono-half to two cents on the dollar; and that this fraud, discovered by the Chinese, led to a reduction in the Oriental demand for them. This contributed to the glut in the silver markets ;and consequent depreciation of value o f this metal as measured by the gold standard;.

The Centennial Exhibition is at­tracting peculiar attention from the people o f Australia. The last mails from the colony brought accounts; o f the closing o f an inter-colonial exhi bition held at Melbourne, the princi pal city o f Yictoria, one o f the chief objects o f which wa3 preparation for the Centennial Exhibition. The Brit­ish colonies, retaining a somewhat intimate connection With the mother country, are in all their local affairs substantially independent, and from the nature and spirit of their exhibi­tion it is evident that they, earnestly desire to make, their great; and pros­perous country better known to the United States. The exhibition was open some three and a half months, and during that period there were

arly 300,000 admissions. The goods submitted were principally from Yictoria, and one of the chief duties o f the jury was] to decide what should be sent to the Centennial. Forthis pur­pose, and to defray the expenses of the commissioners, §15,000 have been appropriated by the Government of Yictoria, with a possibility of an ad­ditional appropriation o f §10,000. It is said that the gold fields o f Aus­tralia will furnish specimens o f their1 product, and wools will form not the least interesting feature among the industries o f foreign nations.—Inter- Ocean.

Alexander T. Stewart, the great merchant king o f New York, died Monday, April 10 th. He was born o f Seoteh-Irish parents near Belfast, Ireland, in 1S08, and was, therefore, 73 years of age at the time o f his death. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, aud stood well In his class. After graduating at the age o f 20 years he came to this country, landing in New York in 1828. For a time he pursued tho avocation o f a school teacher, hut soon turned his natural talant for trade to account by establishing himself in the xatail dry goods trade on Broadway. His shrewdness, industry and interprise rapidly increased his business. In 1S48 he built his immense marble palace on Chambers street and Broad­way, where the same qualities which, had lifted him from the humble school teaching Irish lad placed him in the front rank of merchant princes of the country. With his strong money­getting propensity he was always kind and considerate to his employes. He was punctuality himself and he demanded the same form those who worked for him. He paid good wages and commanded the respect and es­teem o f all those in his employ. A t the time o f his death there were with him many whose connection with his business dated back for years. His ear was always open to the cry of distress, and ho spent large sums in charity. His preference seemed, how­ever, to be to put his benefactions in a shape to contribute to the relief of the needy o f the future as well as o f the present, as witness his Home for the Indigent, and liis Hotel for Working Girls. A t ,the time of the great fire in Chicago he contributed freely of bis means for the relief of the suffering, and he did the same during the war of the rebellion. In 1847, during the famine in Ireland, he chartered a vessel, filled it with pro­visions, and sent it as a gift. He was a strenuous upholder o f the Union during; the late war, and was closely identified with the Republican party. In 1867 he was one o f the American represenatives at the Paris Exposition. In 1869 he was nomin­ated by President Grant to be Secre­tary of the Treasury, but it was found that he was ineligible. He was worth about 0120,000,000,

E d. R ecord :•— We are in the open­ing off Spring, certainly, we think now, though up to one week ago, tho aspects pf Spring were very severe, bore even strong; resemblance to its ruder and more austere sister. But the genial sunshine shows its effects plainly on all sides. The snow which the early spring days brought us has faded away. The terrible mud which it left behind it is fast turning’to its original dust in the streets. The fields arc putting on their smiling faces and verdant robes, and men and animals all feel happier. It is won­derful what a few days of sun will do for earth and its inhabitants, in the way o f change and comfort. It makes a ‘ ‘new earth” almost before our eyes. We can well nigh see the transforma­tion, it is so complete and sudden. What a few hours before we had no­ticed, is supplemented by other and very different appearances. We have “ beauty for ashes and the garment of. praise for the spirit of heaviness,” We are grateful- for the change, and It never seemed more welcome. Win­ter was mild, but the severity of its closing scenes gave ns the feeling of satisfaction, as though we had had enough o f it. When we were ready for spring, winter undertook to put in an appearance, as much as to say we must not be let off without one short, sharp cut, which would remind us of our obligations. We aro glad of Spring, and will rejoice that, though tardy sometimes, it is sure to come. And when it comes it makes our lives brighter and sunnier every day. We have no sympathy with the eroakei’s who, because winter did not almost destroy us we must suffer in the sea son which succeeds. We hope for a favorable Spring. We hope it may" not forget its wonted balm and etheri- al mildness.

I shall hereafter address the read­ers of the R ecord from Perrysburg, which will be almost the same as To­ledo, for it is very near. Indeed peo­ple are beginning to call it a “ sub­urb,” as its neighbor over the' River i3 a part of the city itself, and bears its name. South Toledo is a little farther up the River than this town. It is Connected with the main city by a Narrow Gauge Railroad, and this by the Dayton and Cincinnati Lines. Then in spring and summer the Mau­mee, which runs between the two, makes communications abundant and access easy.

in circulation, the result will be of very great advantage both to the gov­ernment and the people. Tbe con­venience to the people of having a solid and durable fractional currency, safe, convenient, wholesome, and prac­tically indestructible, instead of the present dirty, destructible, disagreea­ble. disease-bearing rag currency, is so obvious that it need not be enlarg­ed upon. The; gain to the govern­ment in the saving of expense in en­graving and printing will also be con­siderable. The annual issue of frac­tional currency has been about $36,- 000,000; while the total amount in circulation is about $42,000,000, show­ing that the whole amount is renewed once in fifteen months. Tho expense of continually replacing this destructi­ble currency with new has been very large. Says the Director o f the Mint: ‘The estimates of the Treasury offi­

cers having charge of the business, show the necessary expense of main­taining this currency during the last fiscal year to have been $1,410,746. This does not include the expense at­tending the handling of the fractional notes at the different snb-Treaauries and. depositories which receive them for redemption, and which, if added to the expense at the Department, will probably ^show. the total cost of maintaining fractional currency to be equal to five per cent, on the annual issue.” While the paper currency

I'costs five per cent, a l valorem to manufacture, and must bo renewed every fifteen months, the expense of manufacturing silver is between one and one-balf and two per cent, only, and tbe silver will last at least three times as many years as the fractional currency does months. The saving to the government will therefore be an item of decided importance.— D e­troit Tribune.

The Silver Currency Bill.The Silver Currency bill which

passed the House of Representatives on Friday, March Slsfc, also passed the Senate on Monday without a di­vision. It is somewhat amended, the Senate having stricken out the third section, making the silver dollar legal tender to the amount of $50 and smaller silver coin legal tender to the amount of §20, which was added to the bill in the House on motion of Mr. Reagan, of Texas; and also hai added two clauses to each of the re­maining sections. The more import­ant amendments which the Senate Fi­nance Committee had proposed to add to the bill, in regard to the standard of the silver dollar and-its quality as legal tender, were dropped, owing to the pressing need of the passage of the bill in order to prevent the country from running short of currency, and' the fact that the amendments afore­said might not be agreed to in the House, thu3 delaying, i f not defeating, the enactment.

The first section of tbe bill appro­priates §168,000 for tbe engraving, printing, etc., o f United States notes, and also §48,000 for engraving and printing national bank notes, the lat­ter appropriation being a Senate amendment. The second section di­rects the Secretary o f the Treasury to issue silver coin o f the denomina­tions o f 10, 20, 25 and 50 cents in re­demption of the fractional currency awaiting redemption, or hereafter pre­sented for that purpose, and giving him power to prosecute this work of substitution through the suh-Treasury and United States depositories until the whole amount of fractional cur­rency shall be redeemed in silver. This is tbe section as it passed the House. The Senate has added a clause making the fractional currency ( thus retired a part of the sinking fund ’ and providing that interest shall be computed thereon as in tbe case of bonds redeemed under the acts relat­ing to that fund.

There is little question that the House will concur in these amend­ments, leaving the more disputed joints concerning a change , in the standard Value o f silver coin, and the amount to which it may be used as le­gal tender, to further legislation. In­deed, the House Appropriations Com­mittee has already decided to recom­mend concurring. There is also little question that the President will sign the hill, or that the Secretary of the Treasuvy will promptly carry Its pro­visions into execution. In a few weeks, therefore, wo may expect to see the ragged, dirty fractional currency dis­appearing, and its place being taken by bright, silver “coin. As wo have already said, this business of issuing silver currency, while our principal legal tender is still irredeemable and depreciated paper, is an experiment, we cannot predict with certainty how it will result. The danger is that if tho coin thus issued is .worth, as bul­lion, appreciably more than its face value in ■'greenbacks, It will be hoard­ed and sold to the brokers for the premium, and that * we shall be left again, as we were in 1862,'when our legal tenders first began to depreciate, without small change. Itseems, how­ever, to bo generally believed in Washington that silver now stands so nearly on a par .with greenbacks, that the silver coinsj alloyed somewhat as they are, will not be worth as bullion more than their faco value, and that the need for small charge will keep them in circulation, even if their- value. should be slighty greater than that of the greenbacks.

Certainly if the experiment suc­ceeds, and the silver coin can lie kept

Facts About Panics.We have already referred to the

foolish assirtion of one public writer, that tbe present financial depression is the result of the world’s, having, reached the limit of the use of pro­ducts manufactured by machinery. The short-sighted absurdity of this, or any other argument founded on the assumption that irretrievable fi­nancial ruin has come upon us, is proved by a reference to the history of panics. To say nothing of the nu­merous periods of business depression that have overtaken all other nation? from time to time, as far back as his­tory records, our own Country, in the, present century even, and within the last fifty-four years, shows at least seven instances of commercial panics. The first, that of 1S19 succeeded the war of 1812, and resulted, as our present troubles have, largely from an extraordinary inflation of the cur­

rency and the rise of speculation and extravagance. The depression was fearful, and immense numbers of men were thrown out of employment, par ticularly in tbe great Eastern manu­facturing regions. The trouble last­ed about two years, but when the natural level was reached the reaction set in, and in a short time all was booming. But in. 1825— ten years from the commencement of tbe first— a panic in England spread to this country, and for another year and a half failures and losses were the rule. In 1827 a new-era of prosperity be-

Tree-Growing- Profitable*It is a common idea that a tree is a

plant of slow growth, which requires many years, perhaps a century, to become mature, or at least of such a size as to be salable and profitable. For the uses of the lumberer or for timber this may be correct, bub we are convinced that, as the present stock o f fully-grown timber becomes more nearly exhausted, -there will be a greatly diminished demand for lum­ber for many purposes for which it is now used. We hope soon to see wooden houses disappear, and wooden barns and stables with them. When the scarcity of lumber brings'its val­ue in the market above that of brick or concrete, then thin will happen. Even now, considering the greater durability of brick buildings, the les­sened risk from fire, and the cheap­ness of this material, brick houses and barns are decidedly preferable to wooden ones. But yet wood will al­ways be needed and will always be in active demand, but the.kind o f timber wanted to supply beams, rafters, floor boards, fence boards, posts, rails, and the material for vehicles, implements,, and furniture need not be of the largo size that is now cut for these and oth­er uses. It will not, therefore, be necessary for the timber-grower to wait many years for a profitable re­turn from, bis labor. H e-m ay not, in fact, need to wait so long for an in­come from bis" timber-planting as be waits for profits from bis orchard. The pear or apple grower is satisfied if he begins to realize profit in ten years after his planting, but we have already abundant evidence to show that the timber grower may not only begin to gather an income in less time than this, but that the amount of his gains will far exceed the wildest hopes of the fruit growers, not excepting even the golden visions of those who are planting orange groves in Florida. For instance, a few examples gather­ed from the current literature of the day may be given. Mr. Schofield, of Elgin, 111., has a plantation of many acres of European larch, made twelve years a-go with two-year-old trees. These trees are now thirty feet high and twelve inches in diameter at the butt, having, therefore, as they stand a settled market value. From the results already ascertained from this plantation, it is found that at the end of seven years from planting the thin­nings of the closely planted trees will sell for §120 per acre ; a second thin-

Next year, how ever, matters mended, but in 1889 the weak banks, founded on a false system, went to pieces to the number of 343 out of 850. Then the sky cleared until 1848, when another year o f depression set in. Then ah was prosperous until 1851, when an­other panic came, and another year of hard times followed- But business revived and prospered until 1857, when trouble came again, led in by bad crops and the failure of numerous banks The country survived and soon forgot this panic to which that o f to-day is trifling, and, until 1873, in spite o f one of the greatest wars known to history, business generally was prosperous, and wealth was accu­mulated with an ease and rapidity never before known. Of course the reaction, came, and of course the re­covery from the depression will come also.

Heretofore from six months to two years has been the duration of the periods of stagnation. The present period lias already lasted two years and a half, and the end, without doubt, is near at hand. The more intimate connection o f our commercial life with that of Europe* and the simultaneous depression in most foreign countries, together with the exasperating uncer­tainty of action on the part of our Congress, have tended to prolong the hesitation and fear, but the panic is over, and the process of recuperation has begun.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not enjoy life, but merely “drags out exist­ence,” as the phrase is. Unfitted for the active pursuits oflife, and incapable of par­taking of Its pleasures, to which health alone can give zest; disinclined to social intercourse, and a prey to melancholy, the valetudinarian is indeed an object of pity. Yet there is nothing in all this that cannot be remedied by that genial alterative tonic and nervine. H'ostelter’s Stomach Bitters, which supplies deficient Stamina, braces the nervous system, and overcomes those bodily irregularities to which nervous weakness is most frequently attributable. Diseases of the kidney and bladder, imperfect digestion and uterine troubles are fertile sources of debility. Their eradication, however, becomes a matter of certaiuty when IJostetter’s Stomach Bitters are systematically Used for that purpose. The Bitters likewise annihilate and prevent fever and ague and other debilitating febrile complaiuts of a malarial nature.

We are also willing to say that Mrs. Dr. Seoly can give a hotter diagnosis of any case without asking any questions or the patient telling her one .symptom, than any physician we ever saw.

Saturday and Sunday, the 15 th and 16th of April, Dr. Price is to be at Niles, office at the Clifton House. Those out o f health should not let this opportunity pass. Dr. Price is at the head of the profession in the treatment o f chronic diseases.

One o f the party who attend ed the railroad meeting, onFriday last, left his pocket book in the ofiice of one of the factories, in St, Joseph, where he had made change and did not miss it for nearly an hour. We are not prepared to say that he was drunk, as we did not see him drink anything stronger than coffee; but such actions surely Indicate that something was wrong.

A meeting of the stockholders and others interested in the Benton Har­bor and Indiana railroad was held in Robbins’ Hall, 'Benton Harbor, Fri­day, April 6th. About three hundred persons were present, including about sixty from this place and Berrien Springs.

„are in a good condition, and there not being a very large crop expected, in Southern Illinois, our fruit growers will no doubt find a market for all they may ship.

Mr . E ditor :— In the religious awakenings o f the past winter, many have made a good profession of Chris­tianity and are living new and better lives. But in addition to this, many professors of religion in the ministry and membership have received a new baptism of tbe spiritual life, and have become more active and us.eful in the church than at any former period of their lives. This feature of the late revival is one of special interest to the church, as her power and usefulness have been greatly enlarged.

. Among this latter class, our towns­man and fellow citizen, Dr. F. H. Berrick, may be numbered. For many years lie preached the gospel among the Adventists, both east and west, and was an able, as well as pop­ular speaker. For several years last past he has practiced medicine among us with much success. And our citi­zens also laBt year sent him to the State Senate. So that his mind was occupied both with medicine and poli­tics, and with occasional preaching. But in the late religious interest he made a new consecration of himself to God and resolved to devote a larger portion of his time and talents to preaching the gospel as the door might open to him. He has preached for the Diciple church for some weeks past, by special request. His audi­ences have been crowded, and they were intensely interested. He preaches with great pow.er and spirit and greatly edifies the people of God. His sermons are of a high order and so given that the common mind is in­terested, and persons of thought and culture find new and fresh thoughts from the never-failing fountain of truth. The Doctor commenced his labors in the Oak Street Ghapel the first Sunday in April, expecting to continue them each Lord’s day until further notice, and those o f our citi­zens who wish to hear sound and able sermons will have the opportunity to do so. The seats are free and all will he welcome. A n old Citizen.

“ The Mysterious I sland 1” — We have just received Y erne’s last fa­mous story, “ The Mysterious I sland-D ropped from the Clouds!” It is an intensely interesting book, by the celebrated author o f “ 20,000 Leagues under the Seas 1” “ Tour of the world in 80 days 1” &c., and gives the exciting adventures of five Union prisoners who, during our late great war, escaped from Richmond, Ya., in a captured balloon ! They were driven by a wild hurricane across the entire continent, and fell upon an unin­hibited island in the Pacific ocean. Here they lived for several years, un­able to escape. Finally a vessel ap­peared, but proved to be a pirate ship, and instead of rescuing, endeavored to murder them. During the combat a mysterious agent destroyed their vessel 1 The castaways had frequent exciting adventures with wild animals; - and also met. with many very mysteri­ous incidents that were apparently supernatural Their ingenious con­trivances to better their condition are highly interesting. In short, it is Y erne’s best book, and that is the highest possible commendation.

The' .o.rdinary price o f “ D ropping from the Clouds” is §2.00, hut the copy before us, “ The L akeside L i ­brary” , edition," hanhsomely illustrat­ed, is sent prepaid for only 12 cents 1 It is also sold by all news dealers. I f you: want a genuine treat, get it. Adress,^ ’

Thus, whenever found on growing corn, it is commonly a dark green. I f found on white oak, it has the color peculiar to that tree, Just so it is with a man. Tell me whom you chose.for your companions, and I will tell you who are. Do you love the society of the vulgar ? Then you are like them in your sentiments. Do yon seek the society o f the profane ? In your heart you are like them. Are jesters and "buffoons your choice friends ? He who loves to laugh at folly is himself a fool, and. probably a very stupid one, too. Do you love to seek the society o f the wise and good: ? Is this your habit? Would you rather take the lowest place among them than the highest among others? Then you have already learnedjto be wise and good. You may not have made much progress, but even a good beginning i3 not to be despised. Hold on your Way, and seek to be the companion of all who fear God. So you shall be wise for yourself and wise in eternity.

Our. observation and experience leads us to believe that the more fa­miliar the pastor makes his exposition the better it is likely to be in its in­fluence on. his own mind, and on the minds of tho people. Dor tile most pai t it must he m tone and manner, conversational. Many fait in ex­pounding the Scriptures because they are too wordy. Their mouths are full enough, of speech, hut their heads are empty of ideas Such a person will always be tedious, flat, stale and unoroStable.— Golden Hide.

We have nothing but our wills only; all the rest belongs elsewhere Dis­ease removes life and health; riches make to themselves wings ; intellec­tual talents depend on the state of the body. The only thing that really belongs; to ns is our will, and it is of this, therefore, that God 13 especially jealous, for He gave it to us not that we should retain it, but that we should return it to Him, whole as we re­ceived it and without, the slightest re­servation .— Fenelon.

O f how many cheap, exquisite joys are these five senses the inlets ? and who is he that can look on the beau­tiful scenes of the morning lying in the freshness of the dew, and the joyful light o f the risen sun, and not be happy ? Cannot God create anoth­er world may times more fair ? and cast over it a mantel o f light many times more lovely ? and wash *it with purer dew than ever dropped from eyelids o f the morning.— Edward

Some glances o f real beauty may be seen in their faces who dwell in true meekness. Ther e is a harmonyin the sound o f that voice to which Divine Love gives utterance, and some appearance o f right order in their temper and conduct whose pas­sions are regulated; yet these do nc t fully show forth that inward life to those who have not felt It ; thi3 white stone and new name is only known rightly to such as receive it. — John Woolman.

onA celebrated clergyman said:

is not the.work I do that wears me, it is the work I Can’ t do, and don’t do that kills me.’ , And we venture now to say that: this draft on sympathy and the heart-power which the modern researches: o f benevolence lay on ministers in large centers is more ..wearing than all their divinity work,” What they see; and cannot do, that is what draws an their very life. — Beecher.

There are blind Samsons still in the world. They are blind, spiritually, because they have forgotten God and, refused to listen to His command­ments, and to Obey His law. They have set up a throne o f reason and fighting against revelation with their puny o f efforts to overthrow what has for centuries been planted deep down in the human soul.

Every life: requires some intevals o f perfect privacy. Friendship may delight, duty never cease her calls; yet the whole world must occasional­ly be shut out, while * tho soul turns solemnly upon, itself and eternal des­tiny. The friendship, or the (supposed duty that: prevents such introspection, is a fatal snare.:— National B aptist

It is not so dificult a task to plant new truths as. to root out old' errors, for there is this paradox in men— they run after that which is new, but are prejudiced in favor o f that which is old,— Golton.

A CARD FROM Dr. FRAZIER.Having suffered moro Or I033 for years with Weakness

of the Lungs, pud a tcroluloui disease which appeared ou my face in pimples and blotches, and alter doctoring with the best physicians, and trying many kiuds ot advertised remedies (including Sarsaparilla,) without finding any permanent euro, 1 experimented by compounding roots* nsiog the medicine thus obtained. I lortauately discov­ered a moat w ouderful Blood Searcher or Medical Bitters, which not only gavo me great relief, bnt after a few week’s time effected a radical cure. X then prepared a quantity of the Root Bitters, and was iu the habit of giving them away to the sick. I found the medicine possessed the most wonderful lioaling virtues, effecting cures of aU diseases originating from bad blood or weak­ness of the system, as it by magic. Multiplied cures in­creased the demand, and the name of Frazier’s Root Bitters has now become a household word all over the land.

The largest and shrewdest dealers in medicines in all the principal cities applied for tho agency, aud X was induced to establish a labratory for preparing ray Root Bitters iu Cleveland, from which I am now sending out in answer to orders from all parts.of the Union, the pack­ages which make countless numbers sharers in this groat blessing that came to myknowltdge through the visita­tion of disease,

Root Bitters are strictly a Medical Preparation, such as was used ia the good old days of onr forefathers, when people were cured by some simpleroot orplact, and when calomel and other poisons of the mineral kingdom were unknown. For Scrofula, Consumption, Eruptions, Rheu­matism, Fits, Heart Disease, Dizziness, Liver Complaiut, Kidney and Urinary Diseases,.Fover anil Ague, Dy3pep- sia^Lost Vitality, and Broken Down Constitutions, these Root Bitters are universally admitted to be the most won­derful discovery in tho world. Their searching, heating properties penetrate every portion of tho human frame. For weakly, nervous young men, suffering from loss of memory, etc., caused from abuses iu early lifo, and to delicate females, these Root Bitters are especially recom­mended. No other medicine will euro Scurvoy, Syphilis. Salt Rlioata, Beils, Tetter, Ring Worm, AY hit a Swellings, Sore EyoS, Running of the Ears, Ulcers, Fever Sores, Catarrh, Cancerous Formations, Dropsy, Erysipelas, Pim­ples, Flesh "Worms, Pustules, Blotches,, and all akiu Diseases so quickly ns tho Root Bitters. Root Bitters strike at the very foundation of disease by cleansing the blood, and strengthening the system; hence they must

. reach all diseases by purification and nourishment. No medicine overbad such a success. It ia my desire that the goffering all over the world should receive the ben­efit of my remedy* and particularly such persona as hav e given np all hope of over being cured.,

For restoring to Gray Hair its natural Vitality and Color.

A dressing which, is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual fo r preserving the hair. I t soon restores faded or gray hair to its original color, with the

gloss and freshness o f youth. Thin hair Is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de­stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; hut such as remain can he saved by this application, and stimu­lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi­ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, aud consequently prevent baldness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma­tion of dandruff which is often so un­cleanly and offensive. Tree from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju­rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit hut not harm it. I f wanted merely for a H AIR • DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.
