The reputation it ha? attained, in ron sequence of
the mnrvcllous rnrcs it has produced during the
last half century, is s sufficient assurance to the
public that il will continue to realize the happiest
results tli.it con be desired. Is almost every

even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried it,&cknowlcdc its superiority ;
and where iu virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to vt hat medicine to employ to relier the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary affec
tions. Ciiecct Tectocal always affords in
stant relief, and performs rapid cures of the

the mere formidable diseases of the lungs.
Asa safeguard to children, amid the distress-
in; diseases which beset the Throat acd Chest of
Childhood, it is invaluable ; for, by Its timely use,

There's got to be a revival
Of good sound sense among men,
Before the days of prosperity
Will dawn upon as again ;
The boys most learn that learn In'
Means more'n the eesenea as books.
And the girls must leans that beauty
Consists In more'n their looks.
Before we can steer clear uv failures
And big financial alarms.
The boys have got to quit clerkin'
And get back oa to our farms.
I know It ain't quite so nobby.
It ain't quite so easy, I know,
Es partln' your hair In the middle
An' sctUii' ap for a show.
But there's more hard dollars In It,
And more Independence, too.
And more real peace 'n contentment,
And health that it ruddy and true.
I know it taksi years of labor j
But you've got to hang on In a store
Before yoa can earn a good livin'
And clothes, with but little more.
And you steer well dear of temptation
On the good old honest farm.
And a thousand ways'n fashions
That only bring ye to harm.
There ain't but a few that can handle
With safety other men's cash,
And the fate of many who would try it
Proves human natur Is rash.
So, when the road of State prison
Lays by the good old farm.
And the man sees a tollln' brother
Well out of the way of harm,
Ho mounts be hadn't staid there,
A-tlliin' the soil in peace.
Where he'll yet creep back In dishonor,
After a tardy release.
What host uv 'em go back Iroken
In health. In mind, 'a purse.
To die In tight uv the clover,
Or linger along, which Is worse !
Ami how many mourn when useless
That they didnt see the charm,
The tafety'n Independence,
Ur a life oa the dear old farm.
So preach it up to 'em, parson,
Just lay it out plain 'ml square.
That land flows with milk 'n honey.
And health, 'nd peace are there.
And call back the clerks 'nd runners.
And show 'em the peacelul charm
That waits to cheer and bless them,
On iitbcr's dear old farm.

Mrs. Grant laid the letter gravely
down on tbe library table, gazed at
the three with a questioning glance,
and languidly inhaled tbe perfume of

exclaimed Jack; 'he is seventy years
old.'

'Dear papa, I could asot live with

ed Gertrude as ah emerged, faint
with fatigae, from tbe lumbering
coach and kissed the old gentleman
tenderly.
Her maid followed with bags and
wraps.
'I rather thought you'd meet me
with a carriage at the station,' she
continued, gently reproachfuL
'I am sorry, my dear,' replied Mr.
Lee, witb some embarrassment, 'bat
I had made p a party to go off la

en the sail to meet too at all.'
'Dear papa!' ejaculated Gerty,
pressing his arm tender!-.
Mr. Lee looked doubtfally on the
fair little face nestling against bis
shoulder: he was evidently ill at
ease.
A look of relief passed orer him
when Mrs. Grant announced her in'
tention of remaining in her room for
the evening and having her tea sent
to her. She summoned, however,
secretly, Miss Nina Montgomery.
'I shall be perfectly frank with
your cousin,' she said to that yonng
lady. 'I mean to write to Mrs. rage
and propose an interview. No skir
mishing. I'll come to the point di
rectly.' That astute yonng person looked
doubtful : 'She is hesitating ; may not

They were playing croquet on a

ner.
'No; it is something verv disagree'

The new moon gleamed uncertain
ly on the water ; delicious salt breez
es blew upon them as they walked up
and down upon the sands.
Mr. Lee, I bave had an interne

'What did you say, my dear Mrs.

'I said very little. If she had
coaxed, I should have told her how

'Ah!' in a tone of dismay.
'As she did very much tbe reverse,
I was cold, dignified and non-committal
She was verv disagreeable'
and Mrs. rage wept at tbe remem
brance of ber wrongs 'accused me
of entrapping and intriguing talked
of yonr money' Mrs. Page actually
sobbed 'in short, my dear Mr. Lee,
I tbinkl bad better leave to-morrow

'And if yoa go, what will be the
result, so far as I am concerned ?' be
politely interrogated.
'If 1 go it will greatly inconveni
ence me, and of course my only ob
ject in going will be to end this mat
ter ; Mrs Grant tbe immediate pro
pelling cause.'
An angry gleam shot from Mr.
Lee's eye.
'I'll take care,' he said, 'that you'll
not be annoyed in the fature Airs.
urant shall humbly apologize, and
the most leave, not you.'
Jay aear . sir. Liee, promise me
that yoa will never speak to your
daogbter on the subject I a cause
of discord in your family ! Promise
me ; I insist, I entreat that yoa nev
er allude to me. Promise me, desr
Mr. Lee,' continued the coaxing
voice.
'On one condition' Mr. Lee seiz
ed his ddvanuge 'that yoa stay,
and that what Mrs. Grant has said
shall have n effect on your conduct
or decision. I'll take no denial,' he
gently whispered. 'How does our
little negotiation stand at present ? I
am at yonr mercy? yoa are doubtful,
hesitating, bat tbe scales weigh a lit
tle in my favor, do they not 1"
'Oh, no. Indeed 1 have never
thought seriously of marrying yoa, I
only dislike to refuse yoa.'
'That last is an admirable frame ot
mind ; preserve it ;' and, as they had
left the beach and were within hear
ing and observation, the conversation
ceased.
Archie and Jack appeared the
next day, summoned by an impera
tive telegram from Mrs. Grant.
'Now, boys, yoa mast exert your
selves: I've done all I can.' said their
sister.
She is obstinate and odious
would not tell me anything.'
'Perhaps it is all a scare,' exclaim
ed Archie.
Yoa are very much mistaken.
Papa is devoted to ber and icy to
me. l Here's no time to lose. We
are so intimate with the Montgom
erys, yoa can be constantly at the
cottage, and chance will throw op
portunities in yonr way.' i
'Wbose turn will n be to speak
first V cried Archie. 'I'll throw up a
penny ; heads win, tails lose. It's
mine 1' with a glance of despair.

Mrs. Page's side on the piazza, sat
next to her in tbe omnibus which
took them to the bathing beach, walk
ed home with her through tbe shady
lane after the bathing.
bhe was delighted with the gay
young fellow.
At length she showed a little clew:
'Mrs. Page, we are all very much
afraid yoa are going to marry papa.'
Would yon not like me for a step
mother V and She smiled delicionsly
at him.
His tender heart melted:
'Like yoa ! who coald help liking
yoa? Bat and he hesitated 'we
don't want a step mother : step-moth
ers are decidedly In the way.'
An involuntary smile appeared on
Mrs, Page's face ; then she sighed.
Tbe good-hearted fellow felt com
punction as be beard the sigh. 'Hang
it !' he burst forth, 'Gerty set me at
yoa. She expects me to be disagree
able, bat who coald fight a dove ? It
will be dangerous to marry papa; we
shall be in love with oar step-mother.'
'Jack,' he cried to his brother a few
momenta after, I made a perfect mess

She's an angel !'
'She is detestable !' returned Jack:
'I bate yonr parriog, coaxing women.

Mrs. Page trembled and grew very

He placed her on large stone

sat down beside her.
'Alice, where were yoa ? I travel

Will yoa forgive me, my darling, my

Mrs. Page closed her eyes and the
tears rolled down her cheeks.
At this juncture Mr. Lee, senior,

A Queer Robbery.
The Evangelist tells the story cf a
man who, returning home rather late
at night while it was snowing, felt
for his watch to see the time, bnt it
was gone. It flashed over him in an
instant that only three minates before
a man had passed him who rubbed
against him. It was bat the work of
a moment to give chase, and lifting
his umbrella he demanded his watch
or vengeance. The watch was hand
ed over by the terrified traveler, and
the good citizen went home in a very
complacent mood, congratulating him
self on his good lock and courage.
At the breakfast table tbe next morn
ing his wife read the story of the
robbing of a man, only a few streets
away, of a valuable gold watch and
chain. It was a most daring affair,
the robber lifting an enormous club
and threatening all sorts of things.
"That U singular," said the bos
band, "for I was robbed of my watch
near that place, and ran after tbe vil
lain and recovered it"
"Are yoa sure, dear ?" .
"Yes!"
"Why, yoa left yonr watch at home
yesterday when yoa went ont, and I
saw a strange one one th bureau
this morning. Can it be that you
have committed robbery ?"

Now yoa may know who the

Biver avenue saloon yesterday, and
removing bis coat, hat and collar he
confidentially asked for a private
word with tbe proprietor.
"Nopody iah here you can spoke
away," was the reply, as tbe beer sel
ler lazily rinsed a glass.
"Are yoa aware," whispered the
stranger, as he pat his nose almost
into tbe other's face, "that this coun
try is on the eve of another etupend
ous political straggle ?"
"Do yoa mean about dis hot ved-
der ?"
"i o, sir : I mean that we are
soon to elect another President, and
that tbe campaign will be tbe hottest
ever known in the political history of
this world, and you may draw me a
glass of beer."
" V hell, I doan' know much of poll

move to fill tbe glass.
"That's it that's the key note!"
chuckled the old man as he slapped
him on the back. "The kind of men
to go into the next Cabinet are men
who have never been mixed up in

here, and you may draw me a glass

The stranger tip-toed to the door,
closed and locked it, and then re
turning to his former position whis

"Take a good square look at me !

of tbe United States of America,
and yoa may draw me a glass of

"Yoa doan' look like some Bre3i-

as be gave tbe old man a looking
over.
"Sh ! Don't give me away ! Yoa
see I'm from the masses. I'm the
dark horse, canteriog along in the un

deep thought
"Ah! Lurekal Excelsior! fcelabl

"My peer ish all gone."
"Very welL Then my appoint
ments are all gone ; yonr name will
not be selected for the next Secretary
of War!"
The old man began putting on his
things in a very decided way, and
hen ready to go out turned and
said :
"I am naturally kind hearted and
forgiving, and III give yoa one more
chance. No beer, no Cabinet position
under tbe reign of the dark horse of
1880."
The saloonist shook his head.
"That settles it ! A year hence you
might offer me a dozen glasses of
beer, and I would not even appoint
yoa Postmaster-General ! Good-day,
sir I"
After the old man had been gone a
minute or so, the saloonist ran to the
door, called to him and waved his
hand, but tbe tide of fortune had pas
sed. The dark horse shook his bead
in a determined manner, and called
back :

9.19T9,'
(Wich is in the State uv Kentucky,
July za,
I am disgusted and dishartened.
Everything under heaven seems to
work agin the Democracy, and make
a continyood success impossible. We
succeeded in electia a Dimocratic
Congris, the people hevin tired uv
Bepoblikin rool, and it did seem to
me that there wuz natbin in the way
uv a continyooance thereof, for an
indefinit period. I looked confidently
forerd to the Postomce at th Cor
ners, and rely expectid that I hood
end my days holdin that Commishun
and specdin the salary pleasantly
and cheerfully at Bascom's.
In tbe fuBt place we wuz shoor
that Sherman's resampshen wood
cause widespred disaster, wich the
people wood charge to the akjunt uv
tbe Kepabhkin party, and wood bring
the Nashnels over to us, yoonitin both
parties agin the common foe, and
that after that everything wood be
plain sailin. We coald sweep the
hole kentry like a tornader, leevin
nary greea-spot uv tbe Radikels be
hind" us.
But somehow it didn't work.
Shermsn resoomed the fust uv Jan-
ooary without the slitest trubble, and
the kentry, insted uv gin to everlast
in rooin, went on prosperia at a fast
er rate than evr.
To our horror, failyoors begun to
grow lesser and lesser, and when I
went to Looisviile and intervewed
the merchants and manufacturers,
and they all told me that biznis wuz
better than it bed bin for yeers, and
that it wuz constantly increesin, and
increesin too in a healthy way, and
that they wuz a payin their hands
promptly, and that tbe bands wuz a
gittia on fast rate, and wuz comforta
ble, then my hart sunk within my
buzzum, and I went home disharten
ed and discurridged. . .
Bascom is more uv a lloman than
I am. Tbis wuz early iu the season,
and when I wuz weepin over the
prosperity uv the keatry, he remark
ed: "Brace up, Parson, there is yit
hope for the Dimocrisy. The crops
may yit fail, and rooiu 'may yit en-
goo!"
Them words give me hope and I
watched the crop reports with in
tense anxiety, and I daily sighed
ike Jeremiah, the great lamenter !
Ob, that tbe frost would stake the
corn ia the blade, and the cowcumber
on the vine!
Oh ! that tbe fruit would perish in
the bud, and tbe scab wood git among
the sheep !
Ob ! that the marram and tbe horn
ail wood rage among tbe kine!
Ob, that tbe glanders wood spred
among the bosses and cat them down
by the thousand, yea, by the ten
thousand.
Oh, that tbe cholera . wood revel
among tbe hogs, and destroy them
all, from the mature sow to tbe ten
der and succulent suckling.
Ob, that the rot would destroy the
potato, and the cat-worm the tender
corn.
Then wood the people be distress,
and they wood charge it up to the
account of John Sherman, reaump
shun and the Republikin party, and
we shood elect Tilden and Keform
in 1880, and I shood enjoy my Post-
oms.
All uv these wood it take, and
more to enshoor a triumph for the
Dimocrisy.
I waited for these in vain. Nacber
favors tbe Republikin party. There
wuz no cut-worm, no frost, no hog-
cholera, no murrain, no natbin. I
hed some hope wunst, when I beard
the weevil and Hessian fly hed ap
peared in the wheat in Illinois, but
my sole sunk when the report wuz
pronounced unfounded.
The wheat ia averagin 30 bushels
to the akre, and it is sellin for a dol-
ar or thereabouts, and the money
paid for it is good, and the farmer is
rejoicm.
What good does it do for me to go
about howlin about hard times to a
farmer with 30 bushels to the akre in
his barns ?
Wbat good is it to howl about bad
money, when the farmer kin bev gold
and silver, ef he wants it, jist the
same ez paper money ?
Wat s the yoose uv talkin abont a
change of polisy when the people is
all on a broad grin ?
I bev only one more hope. There
are seckBhuns where corn is the prin
cipal crop, and corn may yit be dis.
troyed.
A early frost in Southern Indiana
might do us some good, bat after tbe
disappointment with the wheat I hev
bat faint hopes uv that Bat ef there
cood be a frost that wood kill the en
tire crop, and thus put op the price
uv whisky, and side pork, it wood
enrage that seckshun and wood en
shoor that State for Tilden and Re
form.
Bat I hev no hope uv enything. I
am so yoost to disappointment that I
shood be surprised at any sich streek
nv lack.
It don't do no good for me to lean
agin a lamp-post and sware that work
can't be had in consekence uv John
Sherman's reconstrackshen, for Joe
Bigler jeers and asks when I ever did
put in a stroke uv work anyhow ?
And wunst when I wuz declaimin
agin the scarcity nv labor, be pat me

rare af the Eyes.
The sight in most persons begins
to fail from forty to fifty years of age,
as Is evidenced by an instinctive pre
ference for large print Says tbe Sci
entific American:
"Favor the failing sight as much as
possible. Looking into a bright Ere,
especially a coal fire, is very injurious
to the eyes, as they are obliged to
make great exertion. Reading or
sewing by a side light injures the
eyes, as both should be exposed to
an equal degree of light The reason
is, the sympathy between tbe eyes is
so great that if the pupil of one is di
lated by being kept partially in the
shade, tbe one that 13 most exposed
cannot contract itself sufficiently for
protection, and will ultimately be in
jured. Those who wish to preserve
their sight should observe tbe follow
ing rules, and preserve their general
health by correct habit :
I. By sitting in such a position as
will allow the light to fall obliquely
over tbe shoulder upon the page or
sewing.
2. By not using tbe eyes for such
purposes by any artificial light
3. By avoiding the special use of
the eyes in the morning before break
fast 1. By resting them for half a min
ute or so while reading or sewing
or looking at small objects ; by look
ing at things at a distance, or up to
the sky, relief isjlmmediately felt
5. N ever pick any collected matter
from tbe eyelashes or corners of the
eyes with the finger nails; rather
moisten it with the saliva and rub it
away with the boll of the finger.
6. Frequently pass tbe ball of the
finger over the closed eyelids towards
the nose ; this carries off an excess of
water into the noce itself by means of
the little canal which leads into the
nostrils from each inner corner of the
eyes, this canal having a tendency to
close op in consequence of the slight
inflammation which attends weakness
of the eyes.
7. Keep the feet always dry and
warm, so as to draw any excess of
blood from tbe other end of the body.
8. Use eyeglasses at first carried in
the vest pocket attached to a guard,
for they are instantly adjusted to the
eye with very little trouble, whereas,
if common spectacles are used such a
process is required to get them ready
that to save trouble the eyes are often
strained to answer a purpose.
9. Wash the eyes abundantly every
morning. If cold water '.a used let A
be flapped against the closed eyes
with tbe fingers, not striking bard
against tbe balls of the eyes.
10. The moment the ejt s feel tired,
tbe very moment yoa aru conscious
of an effort to read or sew, lay aside
the book or needle, and take a walk
of an hoar, or employ yourself in some
active exercise not requiring the close
use of the eyes."

A new use of the rod one which
Solomon never dreamed of is said
to be common in Austria. Some old
fashioned people complain that tbe
rod has fallen into neglect, and that
the reins of authority have passed
from the parents to the children.
For sock grumblers Austria is a good
place to emigrate to, for whipping is
the regime even for whooping
cough.
Physicians pronounced this uncom
fortable disease to be chiefly of nerv
ous origin and under the control of
the will They maintain, therefore,
that punishment is the best medicine,
for a good whipping rouses the child
to a vigorous exercise of will which
suppresses the cough.
It is certainly a curious theory, but
held with tenacity by tbe Austrian
physicians. Tbey may be popular
among children in their own conntry,
but tbey would be in danger of falling
victims to mob law here. Children
claim pity and petting when passing
through this disease, and tbe thought
of a whipping instead woold lead to
revolts in the nursery. Tbe Austrian
remedy may be scientific, bat it is not

As long as the American people

the use of such hot, stimulating con
diments, but that is too insipid. Hav
ing partaken of soch highly seasoned
food he craves a drink equally stimu
lating. Inebriates the world over are great
consumers of flesh meat, and they
also make excessive use of condi
ments. Our attention was first di
rected to this fact in visiting at ine
briate asylums and sanitariums for
the cure of the intemperate, where
were congregated largo numbers of
them; and eating at the same table
with them for days, and ia one case
for several weeks, this feature was so
striking and so universal that it forc
ed itself upon our attention. And
no one, we think, in the same circum
stances, could fail to notice it W e
have always observed that the in
mates of these institutions were, most
of them, hearty eaters, especially of
animal food. Beef, too, was prefer
red to mutton and other kinds, as be
ing the most stimulating kind of ani
mal food. And this was usually sea
soned liberally with mustard. Pep
per was used abundantly with almost
everything else.
At the .New X or k btate inebriate

As it ia well known the law some

One evening a young man went to
see a play. Taken with a fit of cough
ing, he left the theatre. As he strode
along two young men came rushing
down the street, one of them drop
ping a gold watch and chain, which
the yonng man picked up, and then
went after the loser, running into the
arms of a policeman, who marched
him eff to the station to explain mat
ters. Presently a messenger arrived in
hot haste, saying the thief was want
ed at a central hotel The unfortun
ate prisoner was taken there and
brought face to face with a man ly
ing on a lounge covered with blood.
"Is this the man who stabbed
you 7" asked the officer.
"It is," said the poor fellow, fall
ing back, never to speak again.
The innocent young man was tried
for murder, found guilty, and senten
ced to be hanged ; and hanged he
would have been, if, a fortnight be
fore the day fixed for his execution, a
prisoner in Sing Sing bad not con
fessed on his death bed that he had
robbed the man of his watch, then
bad stabbed him, and ran off, after
ward dropping the watch as he ran.

Scene, a Theatre. Seated in the
orchestra a lady and gentleman ; the
former much enamored of the latter,
in fact, desirous of winning him. The
lady, however, has flirting tendencies,
and indulges them with a handsome
party in the circle. Tbe escort is not
unobservant of this little by-play,
and finally asks smilingly, "Do you
know that gentleman with whom you
are flirting?"
An embarrassed negative is the re
ply. "Then excuse me a moment"
The escort immediately crosses the
theatre, and puts a similar question
to the other conspirator, "sir, are you
acquainted with the lady at whom
you bave been smiling this last half
hour 7"
"No!"
"Would yoa like to be?" pleas
antly. Very much surprised, replied "cer

A moment later the escort intro
duces the not altogether comfortable
pair. Then the mild expression
leaves the insulted gentleman's face,
and he says sternly:
"Now, sir, you may accompany

With a bow he takes his Ieave.and
