Get money, if yon can honestly, makes bnt a slight alteration in the order of the words, bnt varies the sentiment con siderably. There is no harm in making money. It answereth all things. Used rightly it is a power for good, and there is money enough in the world to form a lever by which the mass of humanity could be lift ed, to a certain extent, out of its depths of sorrow and despair. Money we must have for money makes (he mare go. Some can make money who ha\e no faculty for saving. Would you save you must know how to deny those who would borrow and never repay, as well as those who beg simply because they are too lazy to wo-U. There are men whenever want to see you except to ask the favor of a loan. They will ask for just one word with you, and that one word is sure to be money. An impecunious fellow met a rich acquaint ance, and not liking to ask dire 'tly for a loan, said, "Friend Smith, if you had ten dollars in your pocket, and I was to ask you for the loan of five, how many would remain in your pocket?" “Ten dollars, to be sure," replied the rich man, without a moment’s hesitation. He had gumption, and knew too much to part with his money by any such rule of subtraction. Oh, I see, said the impecunious man thus rebuffed. He was able to owe. He was one of the Micawber sort—always waiting for something to turn up. How like some people who are sick. They think to get wsll by letting disease take care of itself. But diseases do not heal themselves, and too late them victims full often find this out to their sorrow as death seizes upon them. Had they been wise in time they might have added many years to their lease of life. The cure was nigh them, as it is nigh to all who read this medley. These paragraphs tell the story, as a patient perusal will prove. Those who have keen insight and can road between the lines may solve the conundrum the soon er for it, but upon all, light will dawn ere they rend the final word of our story. .Light will dawn, we said, and so it will, light of hope and help. Light is what a certain individual wanted. Mr. Jones we will call him. He was very sick. Consum tion had fastened its fangs upon him.

He saw a bright, white-robed angel in his dream, who said, “I come to bring you good news. Here is your cure—sure, safe, harmless, prompt aud reliable. Get well ana seek to take health thereby to others. Behold the cure!” With these words the angel was gone, but ere the trail of light which followed him had vanished the dreamer saw glittering in the light three golden letters—G. M. D. “What can it mean?’’ he said to himself, as he awoke from his slumber. “I have had a Good Many Dreams before, but never such as this.” Startled and surprised he aroused his wife and to her related his vision. Alas, she could not solve the problem. Remem bering all the medical advice, and the physic, and the expense involved since her husband became sick, she expressed the hope that the letters were not intended to suggest that a Good Many Doctors must yet be consulted in addition to all that had been interviewed. He groaned in reply and remarked that if he had to consult any more there would have to be a Gold Mine Discovered in order to pay them. Every day for a week he and his faithful spouse searched diligently for a key to the problem. In the dictionary, in snch newspapers as they happened to have, in books, on placards on the walls—everywhere they sought—hoping to find a clew. Letters stand for words, aud they hoped to light upon the words that should suggest the cure. They Grieved Many Days over their lack of good luck, as they said, and the Good Man Dreamed again and again, bnt saw no more angels. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. “Oh, that the angel had Guided Me Definitely and Given More Directions,” he exclaimed, again and again. Nearly two weeks had elapsed since the night of the Great Mysterious Dream, when there came to the house a pamphlet. Tired with his exhausting office work, which he still pursued, determining if possible to die in the harness, Jones was about to throw the pamphlet in the fire when something prompted him to examine it Snrely, thought he, here can be nothing that will Pierce this Gloom Most Distressing, or Give Me. Disheartened, any relief. Poor man, he had worked letters over in his mind, and made so many combinations with them, that they occurred in almost every sentence he uttered. They entered even into his pray ers. Heaven Grant Me Deliverance, he would say, nor let disease Grind Me Down, and so forth, ml infinitum, and a mile or two beyond. Mentallv tortured and suffering in everj fiber of his body, what wonder that h< read page after page of the pamphlet. It was a work on diseases, and in the morbid state of his mind its contents seemed to suit im. It spoke of almost every disease that esh is heir to, bnt oh, joy! as he read, a Glimpse Most Delightful of light stole in npon him. “Eureka! Eureka!" he cried. “Wife, I have it, I have it.” Everybody in the house heard him cry Eureka, and rushed to the room to hear what ha had found. All expected to see some Great Miracle Done, and then came the ex planation. Simple, of course, but why had he not thought of it before? Oh, what a rev elation! Here was hope for him and for all consumptives. Here, hope for suffering friet ds and neighbors. That night he scarce could sleep, hut when he did, he again saw a bright vision of golden letters, in fact, a Glittering Monagram Deciphered readily, and reading G. M. D.; and again P. P. P., and yet again F. P.; and one hugeP, around which these others were entwined, and then W. D. M. A. All the letters blended, yet each was distinct. AH he had seen in the book, all he again saw in his vision. Dream Most Glorious. D. M. G.—G. M.

P. stood for Perfect Pence Promised for suf ferers, and sweet release from Prostrating Purgatorial Pains. And again F. P. was Freedom Promised, and backward, P. F., it became Pain Flees. Now he could get well, and once well, he would be a missionary, a Glad Missionary Devoted to the work of telling other” how they might get deliver ance. He went through the list of diseases among th >se of his own acquaintance, from John Robinson, whose torpid liver gave him constant headache and severe bilious attacks, on through the list of those suffering from ulcers, coughs, weak and diseased lungs, to his friend, General B , who was as near forward, every way.

Against the serious cases he marked G. M. D., not tlie Grizzly Monster Death, which he so long had dreaded, bnt sometlung—oh, so mneu better, as we blutU presently see. In a short while onr hero was well, and went everywhere among his friends aud neighbors, telling of his good fortune and showing the sick and the suffering how they might be healed. Some laughed and con- tinned to suffer, refusing to be healed. More were wise, tool his counsel and proved hu visum of the l ght as he had done. “A virion, less beguiling far, Than waktng dreams by daylight are.” Can anything be more delightful than health after sickness? To be a well man. to feel pure blood coursing through your veins, to kn >w that lungs, liver, kidneys, and all the Grand Machinery, Does its duty perfectly in one’s body; to carry health’s ruddy mark on the cheeks. Ah, this is Good Moet Decidedly. This was our hero’s case, and thousi.ads can tell the same story. The good angel has come to them.

Alas, that human natcre is so slow to be- jeve—alas, that men and women are bowed Sown with the burden of complaints, of which they might be rid — consumption, bronchitis, dyspepsia, heart disease, kidney disease, malarial complaints, scrofulous dis eases, skin diseases, tumors, ulcers, and many more. It would seem as though some ill deity had given every letter of the alpha bet as many diseases as it could possibly de sire, thus forming' an alphabet of sorrow, suffering and woe.

A Good Many Delighted have discovered it and opened the portal to a long life and a useful one.

For one dollar and a half you can secure a copy of the "People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.” sent postpaid to your address. Its purchase will repay you. In this is Given More Desirable information than you can find in any other vork of a similar nature. The English Agricultural Gazette claims that a good Jersey cow will yield half her own weight of butter in a year, as she rarely exceeds 800 pounds in weight, and 700 pounds is her average. Such cows can be found in every good herd. Six quarts of her milk will pro duce one pound of butter, and there fore, there is less water to handle, less milk required, fewer pans needed, the color is better, the flavor superior, and the texture adds to the quality. More than this, she comes into profit early, her first calf being dropped before she is 2 years old,and her gentle disposition enables any one to manage her, A KHVir-OROWEB in Western New York sold the past season $3000 worth of quinces from an orchard of 10,000 trees which have been bearing 8 years. Every year hereafter the sales wili, or should, largely increase. So far the only ma nure used has been a mixture of salt and ashes The orchard is kept cleanly cultivated, and the trees are now too large to grow other crops among them. The greater part of the water found in plants, aud the earthy or mineral in gredients, including the *mtrates, enter the plahts by means of the roots. Pro bably gaseous matter may also be ab sorbed by the roots. Abeorp’lou of fluids by the roots is due to diffusion, by virtue of which liquids of different densities have a tendency to mix, the thinner passing into the thicker liquid through the cell walls. Sandy sod 8 are, in the aveta^e far mer’s sense of the word, the lightest of all soils, because tltey are the easiest to work, while m actual weight they are the heaviest soils kuowu. Clay, also, which we leal l a heavy soil, because stiff and unyielding to the plow, is compar atively a light soil m actual weight. Peat soils are light in both senses of the word, having little actual weight and being loose or porous. There are fewer cattle now in Color ado than there were 3 or 4 years ago. The profits of herding were great, and there was a rapid morease until drought and subsequent severe winter caused the loss of thousands of head from star- vatiqn and exposure. It is probable that Colorado will not in maay years have as many head of cattle as' it had before tins disastrous experience. Ashes should never be thrown upon manure heaps, nor mixed with any kind of manure, as the caustic potash liber- atesjthe ammonia, which is very diffi cult to save. Therefore, spread ashes immediately upon the land, whether grass or cultivated. Sons of the best catches of clover are made from fall seeding. It then needs to shading, and usually gets sufficient rain to give it a good start. DOMESTIC. Various Screen Decorations.—In selecting birds for a screen, those of small cr medium site are the mest ef fective. When embroidered on ii .h textures, worsted or silk should be em- ployeu, Colored linen thread may be used effectually when combined witn beads of plumage colors. The “ava- davat,” an Oriental bird, is a lovely design; two or three perohed on a branch, with twig*, are very showy when skilfully embroidered on satin; this pattern for a screen panel or table cover is handsome. The plumage of the and avadavat is very brilliant, the bead breast are of a bright red, the wings are a rich brown, the back a sort of chest nut, the tail black, and all the feathers are tipped with snow white; the beak is scarlet. Robin Redbreast looks as lovely wrought in silk as pamted in oil colors. bt autilul screen design, for felt and satin appliqued work, is the skylark, with spread wings, about to fly on its nest made on the ground by the side of a duster of Laid daisies. The eggs are of a pale green tinge, with scattered brown spots. The gorgeously plumed gold-finch looks lovely wrought in silk, and since this bird will mate with the eauary, the t*x> perohed on a sprig of evergreen or holly gives a showy and interesting pattern for a large screen fold. Frnit designs are effective, either embroidered or painted ia oil colors. - A. pistty Indian straw basket, containing oherr.es, plums, and 1 pplee, tipped over on one side, with the fruit tumbling out, is a charming bit of embroidery decoration for a screen. A large Dirndl of luscious strawberries laid over a golden sweet apple and egg-plum gives a splendid contrast of colors, which is enhanced in beauty by a duster of colored grasses carelessly lying near the fruit on a bit of turf. Flowers and fruit combined form striking screen patterns. Make a copy of loose flowers, the salmon-tinted Gloire de EHjoti rose; the cherry red Douglass rose; a sprig of feathered hyacinth; a lilac purple double auemo- ne, star-eyed daisies and bright yellow buttercups, all massed together, resting on a duster of Autumn leaves, with a bit of blue sky slightly curved, and so forming a partial frame to this bright little speck of Nature—a desigu that is exoeediugly picturesque. Persons who suppose themselves suf fering from heart disease because they have pain in the region of the heart, oi palpitation, seldom have any disease of that organ. In nine cases out of ten they are sufferers from dyspepsia—noth ing more. Congestion of the lungs is most frequently caused by a sudden change from the heat of an ill ventilated room, or railroad car, or horse oar. to the cold air outside, without being pro tected by sufficient clothing; hence many persons thus seized drop dead in the streets. In case of poisoning the simple rule is to get the poison out of the stomach as soon as possible. Mustard and salt act promptly as emetics, and they are always at hand. Stir a tablespoonful in a glass of water, and let the person swallow quickly, if it does not cause vomiting in five minutes, repeat the dose. After vomiting give the whites of two or three eggs and send for the doctor. A severe cold can be soonest cared by remaining within doors, in a warm room and near the tire, until all signs of it have disappeared. Then care should be taken to prevent a relapse by having the feet warmly clad and the whole body, and particularly the chest and the back of the neck, well protected when going out Sudden death from heart disease is usually caused by rupture of some large artery near the heart; from congestion of the luugs by instantly st pping the breath; from congestion of the brain, by causing pressure on the brain which paralyzes and instantly destroys life; from apoplexy, by hemorrhage in the brain. Burns and scal.ls are soonest relieved by an application of cold water. Dry carbonate of soda, or baking soda, sprinkled over the burned spot is the latest remedy, and is said to be very efiectuai. These means are only tempo rary. In severe cases a physician should be sent for. When an artery Is cut, the red blood spurts out at each pulsation. Press the tuumb firmly over the aftery near the wound, and on the side toward the heart. Press Lara enough to stop the bleeding, and wait till a physician comes. The wounded person is often able to do this himself if he has the requisite knowl edge. Heart disease most frequently results from neglected or improperly treated rheumatism. It more often follows mild rheumatism than the severe kind, because severe rheumatism receives prompt treatment, while the mild form is often neglected and left to work its way to the heart. Welsh Rare bit.—Stir together in v saucepan over the fire one-quarter of a pound of grated cheese, two tableepoon- fuls of butter, a quarter of a teaspoouful each of salt, dry mustard, and pepper, with a dust of cayenne, pour these on a large slice of buttered toast and serve at once. Whooping cough has been successful ly treated by tin peutine vaper. The theory was discovered by allowing a child, sick with the disease, to sleep in a room freshly painted when a noticea ble improvement took place. In fracture of the skull, with oompres- siou and loss of consciousness, examine the wound, and, if possible, raise the broken edges of the skull so as to re lieve the pressure on the brain Prompt action will often save life. A five minutes nap is often better than an hour's sleep, because you do not wake up with that half-dead feeling which some people complain of when we urge them to rest, and the sleepless ness is gone. There are no two substances known that can furnish better sustenance to the body aud brain than whole wheat, unleavened bread and cow’s milk. Simple fractures may be adjusted by alr.ost any one. Get the limb as neaily as possible m the natural position, and then send for the doctors. There is no great urgency in such oases. To make delicious Scotch short-bread take half a pound of flour, the same of sugar, also of butter; melt the sugar and butter together, aud then add ths flour a little at a time. Educate the stomach. When it is once accustomed to simple food, vora cious appetite, distress and dia«a»« nill disappear. Always strain lemonade which 1b in tended for a sick person. HUMOROUS. Aurora has a little jackass that enjoys a drunken spree and will drink liquor until his ears can no longer wag. While under ths influence of wine or whiskey he will perform many amusing tricks. Several weeks ago a number of Bodieites visited Aurora. After drinking all they could conveniently carry, the Bodieites turned their attention to the jack. He was escorted into a saloon and the cham pagne ordered. The jack took his '‘medicine” like an old-timer. After the second quart had bisappeared the animal became frisky and wanted more. He tried to climb up on tbs bar. and when intimidated he displayed a bad temper by kicking a county official in the abdomen and biting a lawyer’s leg. Not until he had drunk a pint of whisky did the intemperate jack quiet down. In the morning he was found stretched out near a deserted building. A cock tail revived him, and he was ready for another “run with the beys” Au insurance agent named Pyle, In running fell over the stile, St. Jacob's Oil gave bim relief And the pam was so brief, He got up and said: “I should smile.” A lame old lady at Keyser, Had no one to advise her, ’Till Doctor John Boyle, Tried St. Jacob’s Oil, Its action did simply surprise her. “Carlo" was formerly a handsome and good-natured Newfoundland dog. belonging generally to the United States steamer John F.

This partic ular abhorrence of persons illy-dressed gained so strong a hold upon him as to induce him yesterday to take a chunk of flesh out of the leg of one of the at taches of the Hartley, simply on account of that individual happening to to have on garments that were cone’derably soiled in consequence of having been at work cleaning machinery. The two had, up to that time, been the best of friends, but the bonds of affection were suddenly sundered and, after having his legs tied together, Carlo was pitched into the bay, and in the course of ten minutes he was food for the fishes. A Cure of Pneumonia. Mr. tv h. BansE*;y, of Owego, N.

Townaley’e Toothache Anodyne cures instantly. Oh yes! the manager of the opera troupe watt much annoyed because his prima donna had a way of getting a cold and refusing to sing every few nights. So he got a little girl with a pretty fair voice to learn the same parts and sing when the prima donna had a cold. Then he went to the critics, who are always ready to assist in any laud able enterprise, and got them, when the prima donna refused to sing, to praise the substitute’s singing as the finest ever heard. And the prima don na got well enough to sing the next night, and hasn’t had a cold since, and hates the little substitute like poison. Great racket. The Frazer Axle Greace Is the beat in the market.

An event at Abeline, Kan., has de monstrated that a woman does not like a jumping-jack for a Christmas gift. Miss Foreman found such a toy, marked with her name, on a church-sociable Christmas tree. Her affianced espoused her cause, learned that one bhadinger was the praotioal-joker donor, and pro ceeded to kill him. He received one bullet in the lungs and in return woun ded the assailant. Probably the lady's betrothed felt that as long as she had him. she didn’t need any more jumping- jacks.

After a Wisconsin clergyman had preached a sermon against the sin of wearing finery, a Mr. Thomas went home and tore a silk dress off his wife.

Not more than one time in fifty does a clergyman give out a hymn without adding that such and such a verse will be omitted.

A very popular end well-known member of our po lice force, who has performed duty twelve years at the Union B. K. Depot, on Exchange i lace, in Provldenoo, R. L, gives his unsolicited testimony. Bear him: “I have been dreadfully troubled with disease of the Kidney and Liver during the iwst six months; at times 1 was so severely afflicted tliat I was unable to stand on my feet, as my feet and lower parts o myl -ga were very badly swollen; my urinary organa were in a dreadful condition, my blood was in a wretched state, and it had become so impoverished a; d circulated so poorly that my hands and feet would to cold and numb and so white as to appear Ufelese. I could not rest nights, but waa so distressed all over that I could not lie stlU in bed, but would keep turning snd rolling iron one ride to the other all night, so that I would feel more tired and exhausted in the morning than when I went to bed. My condition became so serious that I was obliged to stop work, aud for thirty days I was unable to be on doty. I consulted the best doctors, snd ti led the numerous medicines and so called cures, but rap idly grew worse, snd was in a sad conditiSh every way when a long-time valued friend of mine, prominent in this city In s large express company, urge I me to try Hunt's Remedy, as he had known of wonderful cures effected by it. Upon bis repre*ratat on I obtained two bottles of the R raedy and commenced taking It as directed, snd grotty to my surprise In less than twenty-four hours I commenced to feel relieved. I was In an awful condition when I began to take the Remedy, and had no frith In it; therefore, when I found almost immediate relief, even In one day’s use of it, my heart waa made glad, and l assure you I con- and the result Is that I Improved s)ieedliy all the time I was away; and ever since my arrival home, which was several weeks ago. I have been on duty every day I feel first rate, and the swelling ot hand, ftot and M« have disappeared, and the terrible beckaoh. wmcb used to bother me more than all the rest, trou bles me no more, and I sleep splendidly nights, and surely have very excellent and lordble reasons for apeskmg in praise of Huut's Remedy, for It has made a new man of me. I don’t know what I should have done without Hunt’s Remedy: it la the best medicine that I ••wtTok, and I very gbdly recommend It to all who are afflicted with Kidney or Liver disease, or dia- of the Urinary organa Isaac V.

' It is convenient to have 2 hens hatch ing at the same time; for not only if accidents happen may the 2 broods be united, but on the hatching day, it occurs that, to prevent the newly bom chicks being crushed by the eggs that are behind time, we wish to give all that are hatched to one hen, while the other takes care of the eggs alone. Not only does this give security to the chicks who inn great hazard of being crushed by the eggs if they are kept for any prolonged space under their mother, bnt the unhatched eggs also stand a far better chance; for when a hen finds chickens under her she sits higher from the eggs, and less warmth is afforded them at the time they require most.

Breeding geese are in their prime from 3 to 5 years old. The gander should be a year older. Eggs from young geese do not hatch so well, the goslings are not so strong,hardy,or large asthore bred from older birds. One gander to 3 is sufficient, but if only 2 are kept with him it is much better, as the gan der is really inclined to be a monogam ist. It geese are well fed during winter they will begin to lay early in March from 8 to 12 eggs. They generally give 2 or 3 11.tors in a season, varying from 6 to 10 eggs each time, according to breed, feed, and care given them.

DruggisS® The Homestead hopes there are no farmers in New England who are in tending to use cotton seed meal as a ferti izer next season, for the prEtctioe is a Wasteful one in the extreme. ■" If fed to cattle, ansi the manure used on the land, a much greater benefit is receivec for the money invested Fully } oi the plant food in the cotton seed meal pas ses into the manure, while the rest pays a good profit on the whole in milk or beef. Bo buy cottonseed meal and feed it out in winter instead of extravagantly applying it directly to the soil in the spring, thus losing one profit. The sheep is a close grazer, and even prefers short pastures. It is scrupu lously clean, though not very select in the choice ti herbage on which it freds.
