Confession of a Drunkard.
Some years since, there wns a
p .mphlet publisht-d in England, en
titled "The Confession of a Dj un

"I Shall be a King."
The late Duke of Hamilton had
sons. The eldest fell into consuiiip

death. Two ministers went to eee
him at the family seat near Glasgow,
where bo lay. After prayer, the
youth took his Bible from under his
pillow, and turned to 2 Tim., 4 : 7
"I have fought the good fight, I
have finished my course, I have k?pt

lor me a a crotrn of righteousness ;
and added, "this, sirs, is all my com

he called his younger brother to ois

The man who to-day goes to a sa
loon and spends his time in playing
cards and billiards and drinking,
must not claim to intelligent people
that he is not an enemy to the best
interests of society ; that he is not
doing wrong instead of right ; that
he is cot making somebody's heart
ache, and that be is not injuring
his reputation. The day has pass
ed when men can be saloon loafers
and be counted as good citizens.
Over twenty miles of blue ribbon
consumed and 523,000 signatures to
the total abstinence pledge, are the
results which John W. Drew, of
Concord, N. II., reports after eight
months work in Iowa.
Farm and Household.
Weather Signs.
Many of our farmer friends have cer
tain signs by which they claim that they
can foretell the character of the coming
winter. Among them are the character
of the corn husks, thin ones indicating a
mild winter and thick ones the reverse.
A plentiful supply of acorns and other
nuts indicating a hard winter and a short
crop a light, open one. An unusual
number of Fpiders during the fall are
taken as harbingers of a mild winter,and
their absence the reverse. On the other
hand an immense supply of caterpillars
indicate a hard and severe winter. When
squirrels are idle and listless it betokens
a mild winter, but much business on
their hands indicates a hard winter. If
the breastbone of a goose is w hite, we
w ill have a mild w inter, but if it is dark,
look out for deep snows and cold weath
er. If the ground-hog goes into winter
quarters early it is to be considered as a
token ol a severe winter; and we nngiit
extend the list much further. In look
ing over the many country papers which
pass through our hands w e have kept a
record of these weather prognosticators,
and give as a result from the reports
made to said pspers that in Greene coun
ty they wilt have a mud winter, because
the husks are very thin ; in Washington
the winter is to be mild, because spiders
are plenty ; near by in Allegheny, they
are to have it very severe, because the
breastbone of a goose was very dark ; in
Lancaster it will be severe, because the
Fquirrels fire busy, but in the adjoining
county of York, it will be mild, because
the woodchucks have already gone into
winter quarters ; in Delaware county,
the husks are thick, and a hard winter
mav be looked for, but in Bucks it will
be light, because forest nuts are scarce ;
in Salem county, N. J., caterpillars are
plenty and indicate a hard w inter ; but
across the river in Isew Castle county,
Del., thev may expect a very mild win
ter from the absence of nuts. And yet
any one of these can furnish positive
proof that his theory has been proven
correct many times. 'The trouble usual
ly is that persons observe the cases in
which these or other signs prove correct,
but fail to note the cases in which it
fails.
Stop the Leaks.
Wherever they may be found and On
every farm they are numerous, if not
watchfully guarded against. Is the corn
yet in the held? If so, here is a leak of
magnitnde. Squirrels, rats and perhaps
two legged vermin are pegging away at
it and the waste is all the more inixr
tant because it is continuous. A rat and
burglar proof crib is the only secure
store-house.
Are your tools nicely cleaned and laid
away under cover or are they lying
loosely around, covered with mud and
rust ? " This is a leak which should be
stopped forthwith, for not only dollars
and cents are involved but bodily
strength also. Get everything under
cover, well cleaned and ready for future
u.-e.
Is vour stock provided with comforta
ble shelter from cold winds ? If not, stop
this enormous leak without loss of time,
making them as comfortable as possible.
A few days exposure during the severe
weather of winter will leak awav more
than all the gains you have made for a
year.
Have yon settled with your merchant
for your advances for the last year, or
are "you still adding to your obligations?
If so, you should make all possible haste
and any required sacrilice to stop this
leak. Your ship will surely founder,
leaving you helpless and destitute, unless
you attend to this important matter
without a moment's delay.
Are vou providing for the education of
your children and endeavoring to keep
pace with the march of improvement
yourself? Do you read, do you reflect?
If you are neglecting these important
duties, you mav rest assured that this
leak, if hone other, will prove your ruin.
Education is the corner stone of success
in agricultural and aU other pursuits.
Take Time to Rest.
Most men and women must keep in
the traces, and keep pulling the year
round. All the more, therefore, "it is
their duty to take things easier as the
longer days come on. Take longer rest
at noon. Jf ut on less steam when you
are at work. Snatch a Sunday now and
then from the middle of the week. You
can't? You can. People find, time to
be sick and to die. These can just as
easilv find time to rest and keep well.
All does not depend on finishing that
dress or fencing that field;. or putting
up so much fruit, or catching so many
customers. Better that the children
should wear old clothes than that their
mothers should be laid aside bv a fever.
Better that the corn crop be a little light
er than that there should be no one to
harvest it. Put up the store shutters
earlier at night; prepare plainer meals
in the kitchen. Take a noonday nap
yourself, and give your employes a chance
to go fishing of an afternoon, now and
then. That only is duty which the Lord
lays upon us, and he is not so hard a
master as we do sometimes suppose.
A Cheap Smoke-House.
Di?r a narrow pit from twelve to eigh
teen inches deep, throwing the earth all
out on one side. From near the bottom
of the pit dig a trench of sufficient length
to hold one or two joints of stove pipe,
at such an angle as will bring the end
away from the pit to the surface of the
ground. Over the end of this pipe set a
common flour barrel or large cask, as
may be needed, and, having removed
boih heads, bank uparound it with loose
dirt, so that no Finoke can escajie at the
bottom. Putting a cover on the sticks
will leave space enough for draught to
let the smoke pass freely. Build asmoke
fire of corn-cobs, damp hard wood or
sawdust in the pit, and you will have a
cheap, safe and efficient 6inoke house
with very little trouble.
About the House.
Bad cooking sjmils the good food.
Eat licorice to sweeten the breath.
Apply common baking soda to burns.
There is no dignity in work half done.
Bottom heat is not good to raise bread.
Cold corn beef is best for making hash.
Eat what your appetite craves if you
can get it.
Do not entertain visitors with your
own domestic troubles.
Husbands must not expect their wives
to make good, white bread from jioor
flour.
The more quietly and peaceably we
pet on the better the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out often the
wisest poliey is, if a man cheats vou, emit
dealing with him ; if he is abusive, quit
his company ; if lie slanders you take
care to live so that nobody will believe
him ; no matter who he is, or how he
misuses you, the wisest way is to let hint
alone; for there is nothing better than
this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with
the wrong we meet with.

Where Death Came Pleasantly.
Yesterday there was a touch of spring
in the air. One might almost say a
whisper of Summer, so clear was the
sky, so beautiful the sunshine. While
the city was waking up, and the rumble
grew louder and louder, there passed
down the river a boat. In this sat a man
who plied his oars as if he were afraid
that his craft would rock and cause a
sound. He passed by the idle, deserted
vessels, by the tugs that lay like so many
dead things along the docks, and under
the bridges until he reached an open
shore, and there he stopped. The man
bent over in the boat, and when he
raised himself up he had something in
his arms. With it he stepped out on the
land and walked to and fro, with the
something still in his arms. He sat
down with it, and seemed to listen to the
water, that came up like a great monster
that was wounded and wanted to be
pitied. You may have noticed this in
people and in animals. After a time
thus passed the man looked earnestly tit
the something and seemed to be startled,
and quickened his pace to the boat, lay
down his load not his burden and
pulled quickly back to the city. He bent
over whatever he had again and again,
and as ofien as he did he only quickened
his htlior at the oars. The boat touched
the dock of the first slip, and the report
er hailed the mysterious man. He
rounded to, and as the bxtt stopped the
man picked up his freight and sat down.
He was asked what he had and what he
had been doing. He was a little rough
in his appearance, as if he hadn't been
accustomed to the good things of life.
And he was a little slow to express him
self: "You see, she's the only one left.
She's bin mighty puny ever since the
riot. Wre kinder went away and left her
List Summer and went on the strike, and
she got a back set 'cause she was down
when we went back, with nothing on
her and nothin' in the cupboard. It's
bin many a night I've watched with her
up and down, and then when they used
to take the kids out on the tug last Sum
mer one took her out along with some
as was better dressed maybe than she
was, but none of 'em was any peerter
when the trip was over. Since tiiey qrJt
she's been gitting more and more c
like, and this mornin' she came and laic,
her head on me here and said if she
could only go out in the lake agin like
she did, and I forgot I had to go to the
shoj). I took her and put her in the
boat, and I was thinkin how when she
got outside she'd kinder spry up agin.
It was risky, I reckon, but l couldn't
refuse her anything. I couldn't and
when she was out thar just now she
kinder raised up and said she heard
some children singin' on the sea. She
was thinkin' of the kids last Summer
when they were singin' on the pier.
I 'spose she heard some singin' but ydft
can see how it took." He uncovered a
paleface that seemed too cold for life.
And still it looked as if it was asleep,
with a string of beads around its neck,
attached to which was a rudely carved
cross. If it hadn't been for the hovel
out in the limits, and its poverty, and its
weeping woman who came out to meet
the man and the child as the boat stop
ped again, one might have thought that
this death was a beautiful one, and that
the child did hear a sweet song on tho
sea as it rose and fell. Maybe she did
hear it, for the other world isn't so far
away but a sick child can see it and hear
the music which is said to be forever
swelling up under flic shadow of the
throne. Chicago Times.
A Country Editor's Way.
The sayings and doings of the country
editor are not so notable now a days as
in the old times when rural papers were
rarely conducted on a cash basis, and the
plaints of the worried tellow on the tri
pod, who accepted cordwood or dried
pumpkins or almost anything eatable
or saleable for subscriptions, were fre
quent and painful and free. Men iu des
perate straits are afflicted with strange
whimsies, and the expression of those
disgusted literary lights were often strik
ingly original and exceedingly grotesque.
Now, however, things are different, and
rare'y does the countiy- editor excel in
his old specialty. A recent case over in
Kentucky, where an editor "spoke right
out," is, therefore, exceptionably notable.
He was walking recently upon thestreet,
enjoying the balmy spring atmosphere,
and "wondering whetlver, in the year to
come, his paper would be established
upon a paying basis, when lie became
aware of a sudden giggling and tittering
behind him. He turned and saw the
source of the merriment. Two well
dressed ladies, prominent in the town,
were in his rear, and laughing heartily.
Much to the poor editor's surprise, their
attention seemed especially directed to
Borne peculiarity about his exterior.
Much twisting and writhing, while grind
ing out mental productions seated in a
hard bottomed chair, had told upon the
frail texture of Mb pantaloons, and the'
cloth had finally yielded. The editor's
wife good, thrifty woman had repaired
the damage as best she could; but,be
cause new cloth matches poorly with the
old,evidences of her handiwork were all
too plainly visible. Hence the cruel
laughter of the ladies behind the coun
try etlitor. The poor man fled to his
office in shame. Then his manhood as
serted itself, and he sat down upon the
patch and wrote something for the paper.
His next issue contained this paragraph:
" As we walked past a couple of ladies
on the street the other day, one of them,
so we are informed, observed a large
patch od our pants, and made merry
over the discovery. Well, we do wear
old clothes, it is true; but we might af
ford to treat ourselves to better ones, if
the husband of the woman we refer to
would come to the office and pay us $18,
which he has been owing for a long time
for subscribtion and job work."
"Doubtless," said a logical old English
clergyman, "God might have made a
better berry than the strawberry, but
doubtless God never did." Doubtless
some country editor might make a point
more neatlv, but, doubtless, none ever
did. Iftha"t little bill of $18 was not
settled up within a week after the ap
pearance of his paper then there is no vir
tue in pungency. And the occurrence is
a recent and a literal one. St. Louis Ik-publicaiL.
The French Marriage Law.
The Boston Pol ot Thursday savs : "A
few days since a lady called at the May
or's office and requested that the mar
riage intentions of two parties residing
in Paris should be posted in the office.
Not understanding exactly the exigen
cies of the case, the Mayor sent to the
French Consul for information on the
subject, The latter drew up two odd
looking documents in the French lan
guage and sent them to the Mayor, with
a full explanation of the case. It ap
pears that Pierre Reintjet, a Frenchman,
residing in Boston, has a minor son,
Henri, who resides in Paris. The hitter
desires to marry Hortense, a minor
daughter of Laurent Garot, who lives
with her parents in Paris. As both par
ties are minors, the civil marriage laws
of France require that the marriage in
tention shall be published for two weeks
at the residences of the parents of both,
and therefore the intention of Henri
must be published in Boston. This is
probably the first case where the per
mission of the Mayor of Boston had been
held necessary for the marriage of a
Frenchman to a French woman, both of
whom reside in Paris. The two docu
ments referred to were a notice of the
intention, which is now posted in a con
snicuous place in the Mayor's office, and
a certificate, to be signed by the Myyor i
and sealed with the city seal, stating j
that the intention has been published i
for two weeks, and that no objection has I
been made," . I
The Cause of the 'Splosion.
"I would invite vou to my house, brud
dcr Jackson," said Deacon Johnson, as
he emerged from church last Sunday
evening, "but I dunno as we'll get any
supper dis night, de cook stobe am so
drett'iilly out ob repair."
"What's de matter wid de stobe?"
"Why, you see cold wedder am eom
in' on, and wood's gettin' skese an' high,
an' I've 'strut ted de folks to be berry
eknocomieal in de usin' ob it, AVe'se
bin buyin' in small lots, an' las' night,
beiir out ob fuel, I sent one ob my boys
ober to a neighbor's to borrow a few
sticks. De man or his family had gone
to bed owiu' to de lateness ob de hour,
an' dat boy, who would 'spise to do a un
honest transaction, wrote out his note
for de value ob de wood, an' droppin' it
in a prominent place in de woodshed,
shouldered an armful an' brought it
home."
"Jess so."
"Well a fire was kindled, de tea-kettle
put on, de ole woman she is gittin' de
supper. All ob a sudden, pull' went de
stobe, zooiv ; ke swish, kuslush went
something, sn' as I tumbled ober I suw
de ole wouu n makin' for de roof wid de
tea kettle a i' de stobe plates follow in'
her, while de boys an' de gals was as
brack wid smut as'de ace ob spades. De
stobe's goose was cooked for a fact."
"What was de cause oh de 'splosion?"
"I'm strongly 'clined to believe dat
dar was powder in dat wood, an' dat de
powder was done put in darby dat white
man to ketch some thievin' darkies wat
nebber buys no wood, an' bressed ef I
don't think dat man 'spects me, kase he
couldn't find dat note, an' won't make
no 'pologies."
"Dat am an outrage."
"For a fact, an' de children's supper
was spiled, too."
A Russian Dance.
They have a peculiar kind of dance,
conducted on the greens of country vil
lages in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, a knot of young men here, a knot
of maidens there, each sex by itself, and
silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into a tune, a youth pulls off his
cap, and challengs his girl with a wave
and a bow. If the girl is willing she
waves her handkerchief in token of as
sent, the youth advances, takes the cor
ner of her handkerchief in his hand, and
leads his lady round and round. No
word is spoken and no laugh is heard.
Stiff with cards and rich with braids, the
girl moves heavily by herself, going
round and round, never allowing her
partner to touch her hand. The pipes
go droning on for hours in the same sad
key and measure; and the prize of
merit in this "circling," as this dance is
called, is given by the spectators to the
lassie who, in all that summer revelry,
has never spoken and never smiled.
Cowhide Horseshoes.
In England they are adopting a horse
shoe made of cowhide, and known astht
Yatesshoe. It is composed of three thick
nesses of cowhide compressed intoa stee
mould, and then subjected to a chemical
preparation. It is claimed for it that it
lasts longer and weighs only one-fourth
as much as the common iron shoe, that
it will never cause the hoof to split, nor
have the least injurious influence on
the foot. It requires no calks; even on
asphalt the horse never slips. The shoe
is so elastic that the horse's step is light
er and surer. It adheres so closely to the
foot that neither dust nor water can pen
etrate between the shoe and hoof. In
Japan they formerly shod their horses
with straw, and the European or Radical
party is distinguished from the Conser
vatives by the iron shoes of their horses.
A Good Voice.
"Madam, you know that you ys
sess one of the best voices in the world ?"
said a saucy fellow to a woman, one
clay. "Indeed, do you think so?" replied
she, with a flush of pride at the compli
ment. "I do, most certainly," continued
the rascal ; "for if you hadn't, it would
have been worn out long ago." For the
first time in her life that woman hadu't
a yord to say.
Ax indignant Englishman writes to
the London Week, to protest against the
erection of a statue to John Stuart Mill
on the Thames Embankment or any
where else. He desires to know "why a
statue to Mr. Mill is to be put up in this
important thoroughfare? What service
did Jlr. JSlill render to the country
which is to he thus commemorated? If
every man who lias endeavored to out
rage the religious sentiments of his
countrymen and advocated atheism in
its most debased form is to be thus hon
ored, why limit the selection to a man
whose very autobiography is fatal to nny
claims that he might otherwise have
had to ordiuary respect?" To which the
New York World says: "This angry' pat
riot ought to console himselt with the re
flection that if the statue of Mr. Mill is
confided to an average British sculptor
of the period it will serve rather as a
warning than as an inspiration to those
who gaze upon it, and, like our own
graven image of Mr. Seward in Madison
square, will lead the casual passenger to
regard it as the handiwork of men who
loathed the original, and devised it in
the spirit of those waxen statues of con
tumacious heretics which the Inquisition
used to carry in procession and burn
with pomp in the Autos da Fe of Portu
gal and Spain.
She livesat Ottawa, Canada, and this
is how she managed it : "She thought
it would be just as w e'l to commence
housekeeping right away, and begin the
New Year with training up a husband in
the way he should go ; but her father
thought dilTereni.y. ko she invited all
her friends to the wedding at a certain
church at a given hour. Of course there
was a big crowd, including the angry
father, who was prepared to forbid the
bans with a shot gun. Meanwhile the
young lady and her adored AV'illiam went
to another church and were quietly mar
ried, and as they left the sacred edifice
she icmarked that where there was a
vViIl there was a vtv."
Probably no portion of the human
anatomy is so delicate, sensitive, and at
the same time so capricious in its action
as the human ear. We have known a
woman w ho could stand up in the garret,
looking out of a dormer w indow, and
hear her husband kifS the hired girl
in the cellar, eight rooms and two
flights of stairs away, and the next night
that very same woman would take her
baby to church and hold it on her lap
while it screamed and howled fifteen
minutes of the sermon into oblivion,
and be astonished when she was told
;hat the dear child had been crying.

An exchange has the following : "The
daily newspapers in Deadwood, in the
Ulack Hills, are not much larcrer than a
sheet of foolscap, and are delivered for
18 a year. Every subscriber is required,
as announced in the prospectus, to 'down
with the dust, iet, when we ask you
for that 'mighty dollar,' you get your
backup! Ain't you ashamed of your
self?" The follow ing from an exchange hits
the nail on the head: "Intelligence
means thiift, honesty and rational enjoy
ment. Ignorance means vice, poverty,
crime, wretchedness. Money spent in
educating the people will save ten fold
the expense -in jails, almhouses, and
criminal courts. Itis the duty of every
one to encourage education in every
possible way."

Its ingredients are so skilfully com

The Mexican Slnstang Liniment is the quickest
euro in tho world for accidents occurring la the
family, in the absence of a physician, such as
bums, scalds, sprains, cuts, etc., and for rheum
