OUR J U URN ILES. IHaying Grandma. L,osrt in the depths of the old casy-chair Sits pay little Trissy quite grave *ud demure. With a huge pair of spectacles perched on her nose, A sweet little grandmamma, I am sure. A snowy white kerchief crossed under her chin, A quaint, crimpled hat on her fair, golden head ; Her long, silken gown trailing out on the floor, And under it folds nestling, slyly. Old Ted. “ y o w gramlmamn.*a ? a tired, dear children,” she says. And thinks she’ll indulge in an afternoon nap.” Then drops her blue knitting and shuts her blue eyes. And settles her spectacles over her cap. With a eh* ut and a scramble tby rush for the lounge. Then all mak** a feint of l>eing quite still: Joe, Bessie and Clem, who laughs under her breath. And last, though not least, noisy, mischievous Will. Five minutes, no more, not a , ?ound in tnc room, Then Josie no longer the silence could keep ; But, stealing on tiptoe, leaned over the chair. And found, sure enough, grandmamma fast asleep ! h*j for Life. John King was seut iu haste ou an er rand to his uncle's, a mile distant. His way led along a wcll-troddeu path across a belt of woods. John was a brave, athletic boy of 11, quite noted iu the settlement for his punctuality, and as sure to return on time as an express. As he left the door lie noticed that it was 1 o’clock, and saiil iu a jolly tone to his parents ; “ Now for a race with the slnulow ; I shall be back before it reaches the two mark. ” He had done his errand, his aunt had stuffed his pocket with parched corn, and on his return lie had reached a certain bend in the path, where he sat down on a mossy bank to tighten the strings of his coarse slices. Just as the matter was brushed, a noise caused him to look sharply among the trees, when he es pied, witliin a few rods, running toward him with uplifted tomahawk, an exceed ingly large Indian. A glance was enough to start the lad to his feet and prompt him to his best speed for safety. Hut the warrior’s position was such as to cut him olf from the path to his own home, or to his uncle’s ; so that no way was left him but to strike into the un trod forest and run for life. He had gone but a little distance when he heard the steps of his pursuer rapidly overtak ing him, and knew that he coidd not escape by flight. And, to aggravate his case, he saw at this instant, just before him, a large tree upturned by the roots and lying directly across his course. His fate seemed sealed ; every instant he expected to feel the edge of the battle ax ; and such a horror hail he of the knife, and of having his scalp stretched on a hoop to dry, that he involuntarily put up his hand to save his head, a fact about which, in after years, he used to laugh heartily. The tree, toward which desperation impelled the boy's feet, had grown in three parts, and as it fell the largest was uppermost, some six or seven feet high, and the other two di rectly underneath like the rails of a fence; while the great flake of earth ad hering to its roots made a cross section of wall two feet thick, a rod long, and ten or twelve feet high. "What a trap I Hut as he came close to it he saw that the three prongs, as they lay one under another, were far enough apart for him to slip between, which he instantly did, just in time to dodge a furious but fruit less blow from the tomahawk. The Indian, perceiving that the place was too small to admit his huge body, swiftly sprung around the root, thinking to catch his victim on the further side. Hut the kecu-cyed lad was too wary for him. Detecting the redskin’s purpose, like a flash he slipped back between the fallen trees, so that, as his bloodthirsty enemy dashed in sight with a yell, the barricade was still between them. At this the savage rushed to the fence, and, placing his hands on the upper tree, attempteel to jump over, but he could not spring so high. Then he tried to crawl through where John had just gone, but found only room for his ugly head. After a little he turned about, and, saying in broken English, “Good-by— me go ’way,” walked slowly behind the root and disappeared. The boy knew, however, that it was only a trick, and kept his eyes and ears alert against sur prise. Immediately he detected the snakish eyes of the savage gleaming at him from among the dry leaves on the ground at the corner of the root on the opposite side of the fence, where the old rascal had kept in order to watch the young ster unseen. After lying in this position for two or three minutes, only his head in sight, and that covered with leaves, ho made another dash around the root. Hut John was too quick for him, and slipped safely la-tween the logs once more. Failing again, the wicked redskin re sorted to another ruse. He began to parley, saying, “ good Injun— mo no hurt. Shake hand ! ” And he thrust his hand through the bar ricade. Of course he did not succeed in cheating the little fellow by such a shal low device, and so again changed his tactics. Presenting his pun ho commanded John to snrron.lor or be shot; l>nt the lad preferred to die by a bullet rather than a tomahawk, ami so stood his ground. Strangely enough, the Indian diil not shoot ; but, after looking across tlie sights of his gun and making fearful faces, he placed the weapon behind a tree some rods away, and resorted to the dodge of parleying once more. “ lujnn hungry—good boy, go home get Injun bread.” But John did not think it best to start for home on such an invitation. The next effort was to kill the lad by throwing his tomahawk at him between the trees, but he miscalculated the space, and struck the weapon against a log, breaking out the handle, which, falling at John’s feet, was immoiliately picked tip by him as a means of defense. One of the savagt e devices, by which perhaps he meant to frighten his victim, was to place his hideous face at the open ing between the logs, and how l and gnash at him like a wolf. But the boy’s courage bad rallied, and he began to pelt his enemy with stones and lumps of earth obtained from up turned soil, giving him many a stinging hit. This so maddened the Indian that he drew his scalping knife and gave chase for a long time, perhaps thinking to tire the youngster out by constant dodging. But in this plan he was mis taken, for a resolute, hard-working fron tier boy has a vast fund of endurance. Once the gleaming knife, thrust between the logs after him, came near doing its bloody work; but John's grit was aroused, and he struck the brutal band a heavy blow with the tomahawk handle. But the many turns and tides, tricks and dodges of that fearful struggle can never be related. There are some scones two tragical for words ; lx*sidcs, the particulars are covered under the drifts of forgetfulness ever Leaping above the past. Of course, during all that terrible af ternoon, John's thoughts and eyes were constantly turning in the direction of his home, lie knew that liis father would seek him before night, and as the hotus wore on ho begun to look with great anxiety for his coming. He had the common faith of all children in pa rents. and felt they would not leave him to perish. At length he caught a distant glimpse of a form coming up the path. Oh, how his heart bounded ! With renewed force he began again to hurl at his foe everything he could seize, raising such a commotion as to at tract his father’s notice, who, compre hending the whole scene at a glance, stole up within guushot of the unsus pecting red man. The sequel is soon told. The crick of the settler’s ride signaled the Indian's fate. The warrior’s weapons and trinket were taken as trophies ; the guu, having a bullet but no powder in its chamber, could nut be tired, thus explaining why he had not shot the lad when he threat ened to do so. Girls , Con ji tie in Jlothrr. The moment a girl has a secret from her mother, or has received a letter she dare not let her mother read, or has a friend of whom her mother does not know, she is in danger. A secret is not a good tiring for a girl to have. The fewer secrets that lie in the hearts of women at any age, the bettor. It is id most a test of purity. She who has none of her own is best and happiest. In girlhood hide nothing from your mother; do nothing that, if discovered by your father, would make you blush. When yon are married never, never, never conceal anything from your hus band. Never allow yourself to write a letter that he may not know all tibout, or to receive one that you are not quite willing that lie should read. Have no mysteries whatever. Tell those who are about you where you go and what you do—those who have the right to know, I mean, of course. A little secretiveness has set many a scandal afloat; and, much as is said about women who tell too much, they are much better oft’ than the women who tell too little. A man may be reticent and lie under no suspicion; not so a woman. The girl who frankly says to her moth er, “I have been here. I met so and so. Such and such remarks were made, and this and that was done,” will be cer tain of receiving good advice and sympa thy. If all was right, no fault will bo found. If the mother knows, out of her great experience, that something was im proper or unsuitable, she will, if she is a good mother, kindly advise against its repetition. It is when mothers discover that their girls are hiding things from them that they rebuke or scold. Innocent faults are always pardoned by a kind parent. You may not know, girls, just what is right, just what is wrong, yet. You can’t be blamed for making little mistakes, but you will never do anything very wrong if from the first you have no se crets from your mother. —Christian at Work. WHAT MAKES ROW-LEGS. How-logs and knock-knees arc among the commonest deformities of humanity, and wise mothers assert that the crook edness in either case arises from the af flicted one having been put upon his or her feet too early in babyhood. Hut a Manchester (England) physician. Dr. Crompton, who has watched for the true cause, thinks differently. Hi- attributes the first-mentioned distortion to a habit some youngsters delight in, of rubbing the solo of one foot against that of the other; some will go hi sleep with the soles together. They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don’t attempt to make it when they are socked or slippered. So the remedy is obvious; keep the baby’s soles covered. Knock-knees the doctor ascribes to a different, childish habit, that of sleeping on the side, with one knee tucked under the hollow behind the other. He has found that where one leg has been bowed inward more than the other, the patient has always slept on one side, and the uppermost member has been the most deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees, so ns to keep them apart, and let the limbs grow freely their own way. All of which is commended to mothers who desire the physical uprightness of their progeny.— Popular Science Monthly. THE KATE l AKOOIi JtEH.

A I‘hiladelphia Soldier's Graphic Account of .he Conflict With the FUUburyh Mob— The Sieye of the Hound-Mouse and the He roic Mefeuse —A \iyht of Terrot —Mricen Out by Hire and Forced to Flee For JAfc . (Pittsburgh Cor. Chicago Times.] “My troops will see that the train passes,” said President Thomas A. Scott when the First and Second regiments from Philadelphia embarked on cars for this city; “wait till they reach Pitts burgh, aud you will hoar of the end of the strike, and that the freights are passing through to and fro as usual.” His troops did arrive here ou yesterday. They were a lot of fine-looking young fellows, who had left their offices and desks full of life and gayety, and elated with the prospect of military duty and destruction. They were magnificently armed and equipped, and, belonging to the first families of the city, they were provided with an unusual err ay of ser vants., One could hardly realize that twenty-four hours could make such a ehauge in the appearance of these men collectively ami individually. These regiments, now a mere handful of mon; arc to-uight intrenched some six miles from the city, hungry, foot-sure, many without arms, and one aud all heartily sick, and abundantly satisfied with their brief day’s service. Many of the regiment who started out in the full enjoyment of life lie dead in some undertaker’s establishment, while others, dreadfully wounded, are in the hospital of the United States arscual. Many deserted from the ranks, leaving the main body while the crowd was press ing it, diving down alleys and byways, where they begged to exchange their uniforms for the garments of the most humble citizen. “I served in the war of the rebellion,” said one soldier, “ and have seen wild fighting and heard oftentimes the mel ancholy music of whistling bullets, but a night of terror such as last I never ex perienced, aud I hope to God I never will again. It was this way,” said he; “wo camo to Pittsburgh, I must coufess, bout on having a little fight if there was any going ou. When we arrived at Pittsburgh we were all in good spirits, aud responded with alacrity to the com mand to move out to Twenty-eighth street where the strikers were gathered iu force. When we arrived there Geu. Britton, commanding, formed us front aud rear ou the outside of the network of tracks at this point,, and stationed the Keystone Battery, with its Gatling gnus, ou a little plateau on the hillside, au elevation perhaps ton feet above the level of the track. At this moment the crowd began to scatter, not in retreat, but apparently to make room for the military. As wo rested on our arms the silence of the great crowd was broken, and a storm of hisses, yells and jeers greeted ns. Then a platoon of our regiment was ordered to clear the crowd from the head of Twenty-eighth street, where the strikers were blockading the tracks of the railroad. The Sheriff and his deputies mingled with the troops, aud urged the crowd to fall back and re turn to their homes. They could not not make themselves heard, owing to the confusion and the cries aud yells of the people. The platoon of soldiers then pushed into the crowd, surging them buck until the order to halt was given. At this time the hillside was literally covered with men, women aud children, mostly spectators, I judge, who wore iu a manner penned up. The cries and yells of the crowd grew louder aud fiercer, and the military made prepara tions to form a hollow square on the tracks as near Twenty-eighth street as possible, with two Gatling gnus iu the center. The Pittsburgh troops, the Four teenth regiment, I believe, were drawn up iu line, but remained passive. After some maneuvering, rendered difficult by the jostling crowd, three sides of a square were formed by our two regiments, the First aud Second, numbering from 400 to 500 men. One side of the square faced the hill, one faced to the east, and the troops of the other side stood with their backs to Twenty-eighth street, and also faced the hill. “ Tlie crowd was slow in clearing a space for the east side of the square, aud the soldiers began to force the men back. This occasioned some scuffling, several of the men taking hold of the muskets aud saying, ‘ You wouldn’t shoot a workingman, would you?’ while those on the outskirts continued to hoot and yell. About this moment the Grays were ordered to charge on the crowd, which was impeding them. This they did, amid the most intense confusion and excitement, but the troops pushed back the throng and reti'ed. The First regiment, when the crowd began again to press, were ordered to charge, which they did with fixed bayonets, ; nd in this charge one of the strikers is re ported to have been wounded by a bayo net thrust. Tiie crowd now began pelt ing ns with stones, and some of our men were hurt more or less. This was the match that tired the train, for, goaded to frenzy, either through fear of violence from the crowd or stung to desperation by being hit with missiles, the order was given to tire, aud lire we did. Some say there was no order given te fire, but one of the guns iu the hands of a member of the company went r.jf, and others, mis taking this for an order, leveled their pieces aud discharged them. Be this as it may, 1 heard distinctly the order to lire, and did not discharge my piece un til the order was given. “ The firing was sudden and unex pected, and seemed to come upon the vast crowd like a stroke of lightning, and it was scarcely realized until here and there a man was seen to fall. Along the brow of the hill ran a deep ditch, into which those who hail enough presence of mind cast themselves. After the first shot the troops shot in ev ry direction. The first volley swept over Hie hillside, :ind was delivered l>v those troops nearest the hill. The second side of the square aimed along the east track, and the others, so far as could be ascertained, wheeled and tired down Twenty-eighth street. Be fore dark, when the dead and wounded had boon carried off, and the crowd got over their fright and commenced to gather again in great numbers, wo were ordered into the round-house, as afford ing us shelter for the night and better protection from the stray shots heard every now and then. With the approach of nightfall the troops were hungry and tired, but consoled themselves in a meas ure by the assurance that supper had been ordered and would arrive in a brief time. At dusk, peering out of the window’s of the round-house, w’e saw the wagons carrying our rations captured by the crow’d, and the dishes and contents nurled into the street, while the crowd cheered *Ac demons. As the crowd in the streets augmented with the night thoughts of sleep were given over, and guards -were stationed at the windows of the round-house and also placed at each of the gates leading into the yards. They were out of reach of the crowd, and had instructions to fire upon any persons who attempted to outer. “ At midnight the crowd outside, as we could observe from the windows, had grown into many thousands, and shots were fired at us from out of the yards of the company in close proximity to the round-house. We replied to them, but with what effect we were Unable to ascer tain. When the fire was started in the box cars we became seriously alarmed, and some few of our men, I have heard, made their way out of their quarters in citizens' clothes, and escaped from their perilous position. We could see long lines of cal’s one after another burning, but did not expose ourselves to the guns of the mob. The fire slowly but surely crept down Upon its, and about this time the crowd captured one of the guns be longing to Hutchinson's Battery of Pitts burgh, and attempted to gctitinto position to fire upon us. It was heavily loaded, we knew, and if fired in so close proximity to us must have done heavy damage. We prevented them from putting it in position, however, as wo covered it well, and were in quarters where we could pick off the men without much injury to ourselves. A number of times freight ears were run between us and the gun, which shielded the strikers from our shots, but they finally gave the matter up and hauled the gun away. All this time the situation was becoming more and more serious. “ The fire was creeping down upon us with a certainty of driving us out sooner or later. The crowd, too, was growing more dense, and bold threats of violence should we come oat were distinctly heard away up the track. In the yard where the cars were burning we could see men pillaging, while their old runty arms mingled with bright barrels which flashed in the glare of destruction. Sud denly down the grade came one ear after another, some laden with oil, which was afire and burned fiercely. The cars were sent down in order that they might ig nite the wooden work of the round-house and the company’s lumber-yards. They w’ere heavily laden with combustible material, and when the box-cars took fire they burst and scattered their con tents in every direction, dealing out dis aster with lavish hand. The machine shops between Twenty-fifth and Twen ty-sixth streets then caught fire, and soon our building was surrounded with a wall of fire. The heat became so in tense that we w’ere obliged to retire from the windows and gathered in the center of the building. Many of us w’ould have run out, but the danger from the outside from the violence of the crowd was as much to be feared as the fiery element fast ap proaching us. At the dawn of day a consultation of officers was held, which was prolonged for some time. It was then decided that we must go out and face the angry devils who made the streets in the neighborhood black with their presence. It w’as better to run the risk of being shot down than burned to death, and so we filed out formed in a compact body, preceded by Gatling guns, with Maj. Gen. Britton and Brig. Gens. Matthews and Land at the head. It was a lively time, I tell you. We soon reached the United States arsenal, where w T e thought we would be pro tected. ” When (he regiment left the rouud house (liey were followed by the mob, and many of them had tl : r guns wrested from them by the strikers, who in turn shot down tho soldiery. The militia made for the United States arsenal, but Maj. Buffington, the commandant, re fused to allow them to enter. Then the fear-stricken men commenced to scale the walls and seek refuge behind great piles of bombs in the gnu-yard. The bravest of the lads remained on tho street, returning shot for shot with the crowd, while Maj. Buffington pressed upon their officers the necessity of form ing the men solidly and resisting the attacks of the mob. They were too frightened, however, .and preferred to retreat, which they did past the arsenal and away up the river toward the village of Sharpsbnrg. Only twenty regulars wi re stationed at the arsenal, a force en tirely too small to cope with any degree of success with the rioters. .4 svicrnrrs i.kttku. William It.

I never reflect upon the breadth and generosity of the underlying idea of our system of government, with all its manly equities, its constant demand upon its citizens for the most elevated sentiments known to our nature, and the opportu nities afforded for their exercise, that it does not appear to me more and more, and beyond all other forms of govern ment yet devised, the most favorable theater for the exercise of all the quali ties that dignify and adorn mankind, and that, if penetrated with a true sense of the part which each man among ns should bear in such a plan, an American citizen ought to be in the best sense of the word a gentleman. I have had good reason to realize the exacting nature of the toil and varied occupation of our busy struggle in Ameri can life, and amid what a rush of events we have been carving civilization out of the wilderness, emulating with hot im patience the results and accumulations of centuries of work and thought in the older nations. The graces of life—those fruits of repose and well-earned wealth and leisure—are of gradual growth, and have been necessarily postponed until our temple of civil and religious liberty was erected upon secure foundations and our grand experiment of self-control by a free people shall have been well tested. Art, its studies and higher influences, I do not underrate, and the great advan tages it can impart to its disciples; but personal contact has taught me how much of that true refinement, delicacy of sentiment, and sensitive consideration for the feelings of others, which we justly regard as the best fruit of high breeding and culture, can and does exist in the simplicity of American society, uniu structed even by that European example which to some of our countrymen seems the necessary imprimatur of social suc cess. The American snob has none of the inducements or excuses of his British brother, and, when he follows in his track and gilds and veneers his pettiness and vulgarity in imitation of rank and dis tinguished station, he sins most iigainst nature and the honest simplicity and natural dignity which are akin to repub lican institutions, and which may be well worn by every man who lives under them according to their true and manly spirit. It is iu onr power to create a standard of American character and manhood as lofty as that of any age or nation, and to compel our representatives at homo and abroad to conform their conduct to it. The spirit of true chivalry iu all its gen tleness and unselfishness, showing ten derness to the feeble and resistance to the overbearing, mercy to whom mercy is due, and honor to whom honor is due, can anti does exist in America to-day, under the “hodden gray” of the laborer and mechanic, the threadbare coat of the clerk or the grave garb of the hard worked merchant or man of the profe ;- sions, as truly as it ever did under the helmet and chain armor of any knight errant of the olden time. The American people can justly de mand from those who are delegated to represent them abroad or at home a punctilious observance of honor and delicate pride in their private and public conduct, and the moral influence to be obtained by dignified self-respect, intel ligence, and high personal integrity will far outweigh any attempted competition with the show and glitter of the repre sentatives of other governments not based upon the principle of voluntary and orderly self-control. In truth it will be found that, where American repre sentatives abroad have drawn obloquy and just censure or contempt upon them selves or their country, it has been usu ally caused by some ignorant attempt at ostentations display, or the unworthy pursuit of private gain, in both of which the dignity of their position was forgot ten or disregarded, and the fault was not “Americanism,” but the absence of it. IS FA STILE Ef.OFEJf EST. A pretty little miss of 12 summers, the daughter of a widow spending the summer at Atlantic City, and a pre cocious youth of 11, whoso father is also a summer resident at the “city by the sea,” being the owner of a cottage at that place, formed an ardent attachment for each other, after an acquaintance of only one week. After a few days’ expe rience as lovers, they resolved to unite themselves iu the bonds of matrimony, and accordingly, on the morning men tioned, they took the early train at At lantic City for Camden. Before the train which bore the enamored couple reached Camden, however, the fether of the youth, after inquiry, learned the cause of his sudden disappearance. The boy and girl bad been seen at the depot, and were known to have left upon the train together. The father telegraphed to a friend iu Camden, who hurried to the depot and met the youth ful would-be bride and g. m upon their arrival. The disappointed couple were returned by the next train.

The Railway Aye gives a list, by States, of the number of miles of now railroads that have been constructed in this country during the first six months of the present year. The total number of miles is <OS J, of which 164 were built in California, 1381 in Texas, 63J in Pennsylvania, 33 in Vermont, 27 in Ten nessee, 25 in New Jersey, 20 in Illinois, 20 in Indiana, 15 in Wisconsin, 14 in Michigan, 7in lowa, etc. Of the 705’ miles, 283 were narrow-gauge. The Aye remarks: The cost of railway building was never so low as now, and yet it costs a great deal of money to build railways of any kind, in any times. The economy of narrow-gauge roads has generally been overrated, and the extremely low figures anticipated by some have seldom been adhered to. On the other hand, the enormous rate of $40,000 to SIOO,- 000 per mile,at which our principal lines were formerly built, has been greatly re duced for the best roads of late years. It will, perhaps, be fair to estimate the average cost of the roads in the above list of both gauges, including equip ment, at $12,000 per mile. Certainly this is a low figure. At this rate the 705 ; miles here reported have cost about $8,500,000. This sum, it should be re membered, represents ra-ih, and that mainly raised along the roads, as the fashion of building railways with bonds sold at a distance has very, nearly ceased. ” CUUIOVS ARMENIAN CUSTOMS. The Erzcruom correspondent of the Tjondon Standard is studying the do mestic life of the Armenians. One day a pan, in which an omelette was being cooked, fell down, and the servant ob stinately maintained that a young woman on the roof of a house opposite had caused the mischief by her evil eye, and with difficulty was prevented from going over and taking vengeance. Here is an other incident: The married sous, con trary to the Turkish custom, live in the house of their parents, but the law of the Armenian church forbids the mother in-law, during the first four years of the marriage, to saya'word to her daughter in-law. The young wife sits, dumb and motionless, the whole day in a corner of the room, without any occupation, unno ticed by her husband or anyone. Only in the poorest families, in which the women must work, is the daughter-in law driven by blows, cuffs and kicks to labor. The poor young creatures are allowed, however, to go live times daily to the church. Nov/, it happened that in the house next door the mother-in-law had not spoken to her son’s wife for six years, two years more than the alloted term, because she was childless. At last the entreaties of all the young women of the neighborhood, on their bended knees, induced the deeply offended old woman to address the first words to her daughter-in-law.

Who was it discov ered America ?” “ Christopher Columbus J” exclaimed the mother and boy simultaneously. “Bight; and when did he discover il ? ” “ Why, on the Fourth of July, of course,” replied the mother ; “ but I’ve got the worst memory about these his torical facts.” “That’s it,” said the wise father, en couragingly. “ Columbus discovered America on the Fourth of July, and the nation celebrates the day iu honor of the event. Freddy, I want you to study up. I should fee l awfully mortified had you asked mo such a question before company.” —Camden Post. srsTKit. Whatever you do have system about it. It is the greatest labor-saving ma chine in the world, and t ie cheapest, but is not the easiest governed. It requires reason and management to control and exercise it. Yet, wherever it lias been introduced, this great labor-saving ma chine has been a success, demonstrating to the world that it has saved its operator unnecessary manual labor, a multitude of perplexities, kept bis workshop in or der, and enabled him to perform correct ly more by far than in its absence would have been possible. It lias many a time kept its possessor from exasperating en tanglements; it has saved him time and trouble; it lias kept his business recti fied while others have been confused. System ! It has ever been a victor in war, it is the powerful scepter that the true statesman and the political econo mist sway in government, and it has been and still is the commonest stepping-stone to individual fortunes. Have system iu your management, and you will find eventually it will outweigh the physical forces of energy without it. HA O TE.HI’EIi. There are few things more productive of evil in domestic life than a thoroughly bad temper. It does not matter what form that temper may assume, whether it is of a sulky kind that maintains per fect silence for many days, or the madly passionate, which vents itself in abso lute violence. 111-temper at any ago is j a bad thing ; it never does anybody any ■ good, and those who indulge in it feel no ! better for it. Alter the passion has i passed away one secs that he has been '■ very foolish, and knows that others see it too. Bad temper in the aged is, jier haps, the most trying of aIL It is, in deed, a pitiable sight to see the wrinkled cheek of an old person aflame with anger and passion.

The stomach obstinately rebels against all efforts to make it digest superabundant or in digestible food. Wneu a fit of dyspepsia has been brought on by overindulgence in the pleas ures of the table, or any other cause, the in valid can obtain from Hostetter’a Stomach Bit ters prompter and more complete relief than from any other source. This admirable specific not only renders digestion active, but regnlatcs the secretion and distribution of the bile, re establishes a regular habit of body when cos t'voness exists, restores the appetite, soothes and invigorates the nerves, aud, if taken before retiring, facilitates sleep. Under these happy conditions, the dyspeptic or bilious subject re gains lost flesh, his spirits recover their elas ticity. and all the various and harassing txxiily and mental symptoms of ch onic indigestion disappear. rlease Bear it in Wind that, if your grocer does not have, and will not get, Dooley's Yeast Powder for you. you can send 20 cents for quarter, 35 cents for half, or 00 cents for one ponnd can.
