Get money honently if yon can, bat get money,” was a foolish father’s ad vice to bin son. 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 makh money. It answereth all things, rightly it is a power for good, and there is money enough in the world to form a lever S which the mass of humanity could be lift- , to a certain extent, ont of its depths of sorrow and despair. Money we must have for money makes the mare go. Some can make money who have no faculty for saving. Would yon save yon mnst know now to deny those who wonld borrow and never repay, as well a* those who beg simply because they are too lazy to work. There are men who never wont to see yon 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 directly for a loan, said, << Friend Smith, if yon had ten dollars in yonr pocket, and I was to ask yon forihe loan of five, how many wonld remain in your pocket?" “Ten dollars, to be sure,” replied the rich man, without a moment’s hesitation. He had gumption, and knew too mnch to part with his money by any snob 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 torn up. How like some people who are sick. They think to get well by letting disease take care of itself. But diseases do not heal themselves, and too late their 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 read between the lines may solve the conundrum the soon er for it, but uipon all, light will dawn ere they read 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. Consump tion had fastened its fangs upon him. He had long neglected cMarrn, and laughed at xlhe idea of taking anything for it when ad vised to do so, and so went from bad to wOfse. His lungs became diseased, a hack- ingbchurchyard cough racked him almost to piectn, and he was fust wasting away. A mere) shadow of his former self, he scarcely slept nt all at night, or slept only to dream horrible dreams. Talk of nightmare! A whole'Circus troupe, horses and all, seemed to make his bed the arena of their wild per formances. In this case money did not (the mare go, for he spent a deal of on doctors and physics and was iig bettered. He ate little, and was coing down to an untimely grave, leav- is wife a widow and his four bright ren orphans, when, lo! on one eventful ft he dreamed for once a bright and fry dream, which our next paragraph will ate. Death, the black-visaged monster, had until then stared him in the face, but the dream brought him hope. 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 and reliable. Get well and seek to take health thereby to others. Behold the cure!" With these words the angel was gone, butere 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 such newspapers as they happened to have, in hooks, on placards on the walls—everywhere they sought—hoping to find a clew. Letters stand for words, and they hoped to light upon the words that should suggest the euro. They Grieved Many Days over their lack of good luck, as they said, and the Good Man Dreamed again and again, but saw no more angels. Hope deferred niaketh 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. Surely, thought he, here can be nothing that will Pierce this Gloom Most Distressing, or Give Me. Disheartened, any relief. Poor man, he bad 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, ad infinitum, and a mile or two beyond. Mentally 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 him. _ It spoke of almost, every disease that flesh is heir to, but oh, joy! as he read, a Glimpse Most Deliglvtful of light stole in upon 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 he had found. All expected to see some Great Miraole Done, and tntt came the ex planation. Himple, of cour^t but why had be not thought of it before? ()h, what a rev elation! Here was hope for him and for all consumptives. Here, hope for suffering friends and neighbors. That night he scarce could sleep, but 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 All he had seen in the book, all he again saw in his vision. Dream Most Glorious. D. M. G.—G. M. D.—Again he rang the changes; backward, forward, every way. Gold Medal Deserved. M. G. D.—Misery’s Great Deliverer,—till time would fail to tell them all. P. P. P. stood for Perfect Peace 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 those of his own acquaintance, from John Robinson, whoso 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 ***” --xavAAVA, VAUAJUlCAl MJ y W 1 Wild rlH IlCctT the grave as he. And for all these, as well asforhimself, theGrave May Disappear from present vision, and each may be Given More Decades of life than they had hoi>ed to have year*. Against the milder cases he marked P. P. P. Against the serious cases he marked G. M. D., not the Grizzly Monster Death, which he so long had dreaded, but something—oh, so much better, as we shall presently see. In a short while our hero was well, and went everywhere among his friends and neighbors, telling of his good fortune and showing the sick and the suffering how they might be healed. Some laughed and con tinued to suffer, refusing to be hetded. More were wise, took his counsel and proved his vision of the night as he had done. “A vUion, less beguiling fsr, Than waking dreams by daylight are.” Can anything be more delightful than health after sickness? To be a well man, to feel pure blcod comsing through your veins, to know 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 Most Decidedly. This was onr hero’s case, and thousands can tel! the same story. The good angel has come to them. Tuey have seen the letters Gleam Most Distinctly before their eyes, anl Going Most Definitely to work in pnrsuing tbe instructions given, they have recovered that great blessing— ealth. G. M. D. has been to them a chan- j! of good, Good Mysteriously Done, and they have bid their sick friends do what all the sick should do, namely, put themselves in communication with the W. D. M. A., Which Done Moet AssurHly will put them in the Way Desired Most Anxiously. Alas, that human nature is so slow to be lieve—alas, that men and women are bowed down with the burden of complaints, of which they.might be rid*—consumption, bronchitis, dyspepsia, heart disease, kidney disease, malarial complaints, scrofulous dis eases, skin disease?, 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. Happy they who the Great Measure Discerning, have escaped the olntches of sad diseases. jooking back upon his past experience* Mr. Jones reels waterm moet uecmeaiy, and continnes telling the old >story of his sickness, his vision, and his restoration to health; for all the sick are not well yet. But he has had the pleasure of seeing, as he says, Good Miraculously Done to hundreds upon his personal recommendation. Dear reader, bear with ns awhile if light has not yet dawned on your mind. The mys tery will soon be revealed. If the key be not on yonr right hand it is at least on yonr left, in letters clear as daylight A Good Many Delighted have discovered it and opened the portal to a long life and a useful one. Initials of words that stand for all that is sorrowful and sad, letters, the self-same letters, are often initial of words that breathe of hope and benediction. Search but awhile and you will find the boon, the blessing and the benefit. The mystery of the three P’s. of Ihe F. P.. of the G. M. D., and of the W. D. M. A., Will Dawn Most Auspiciously upon you. Columbus discovered America and won high honor and immortal fame, and they who have learned the secrets of the wonder before yonr eyes, good reader, Give Moet Delightful testimonials of their gratitude. Of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these—it might have been— so sayeth the poet. When we think of the myriads that might have been saved from untimely graves had they seen Mr. Jones’ vision and sought his way to health; we feel sad. Yet we cannot but rejoice at the Great Many Delivered from death’s door by G. M. D., and that Psin’s Positive Persecution lias been escaped again and again by P. P. P. Virtues unnumbered serve to make G. M D. the Greatest Mercy Deigned by favor ing proyidences for the relief of sufferers, and its discoverer feels P. P. P.—Perfectly Pardonable Pride in telling of the Growing Multitnde Delivered from the Grasp Most Dreadful of Greedy Mournful Death. Every sick person is interested in the theme before us, and every well person, too, for who does not know some one ^rho is sick and needs, therefore, the good news of health that is Given Many Daily. Reader, mystified reader, we will detain you no longer. Perhaps you have Guessed Most Deftly the hidden meaning. P. P. P., you know, stands for Pleasant Purgative Pel lets, curing constipation, torpidity of the liver, headache and many other complaints. F. P., of course, s Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, that has proved such a P. F., Prime Favorite and Precious Friend to la dies; safe, easy to take, working like a charm—curing the peculiar weaknesses in cident to their sex. The letters W. D. M. A. stand for the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, at Buffalo, N. Y., with its im posing Structures, its army of medical men, specialists, all of them, and its president, Dr. R. V. Pierce (the large and central P of Mr. Jones’ second vision), all at the service of the sick and suffering, everywhere; while G. M. D. is—well, read the initials of the paragraphs of this article and yon will see thatG. M. D. is Golden Medical Discovery, the boon of the diseased. This wonderful tJrdicine cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt-rheum, fever sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all dis eases caused by bad blood, are conquered by this iiowerful, purifying and invig orating medicine. Great eating ul cers rapidly heal nnder its benign influ ences. Especially has it manifested its po tency in curing tetter, boils, carbuncles, scrofulous sores and swellings, goitre or thick neck, and enlarged glands. Consump tion, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs, is promptly and positively arrested and enred by this sovereign and God-given rem.e ly, if taken before the lust stages are reached. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, consumptive night sweats, and kindred af fections, it is a sovereign remedy. For in digestion, dvspepsia and torpid liver, or “biliousness.” Golden Medical Discovery has no equal, as it effects perfect and radical cures.

The Value of Sods—Sods are the cream of the soil, containing the very elements of plant food that make the soil so productive. When properly rot ted this material makes one of the best invigorators to be found for trees, vines vegetables and is one of the moet readi ly and cheaply obtained fertilizers in use. Sods may be gathered from the fence corners of tilled fields Irom the surface after plowing and harrowing sward land, and in many places from the roadside when the highways are un dergoing repairs. To utilize sods and secure from them their best fertilizing effects, they should be gathered and piled up in some out of the way place, and the whele covered with ashes or chip dust, or both, to keep the grass from growmg. A year or two will be required for them to thoroughly decay unit ss cut down and shoveled over after laying long enough for the grass to be entirely killed out. Water should be applied at intervals, sufficient to keep the pile moist and prevent a dry, moldy rot. The best way to provide for the wetting down is to leave the top cupping and apply the water abundantly in a thy time. To get such a lot of good material in the best shape for applying to orops we would advise mixing it with good well rotted barnyard manure. Say about two loads of it to one o the ma nure, then spread it broadcast on grass and crops of small grain; for corn or vegetable apply in the hills or drills. There is danger in stimulating too large a flow of rich milk by feeding high ly of meal and grains to new milch cows. Those dairymen who boast of enormous yields of mUk frequently lose a cow ir have one rendered worthless bjr caking her bag or in the loss of one or more teats. In tbe case of an unusually large and well developed heifer there is no objec tion to having the first calf before «he is two years old, but when undersized or at all weakly, it is safer to iet her reach the age of two and one-half or three years. If thrifty heifers come in at an early age and are properly attended to, they usually make better milkers than when they come in late. Insects of different species are attrac ted to the plants suited to their wants. If an odor strong enough to overcome the natural odor it the plant, or the e"r!h around it, it will no longer attract the insect, but will escape its depreda tions. There ere many strong odors, carbolic acid, for example, that might be employed for such purposes. Salt is used to destroy the onion maggot with partial success About July 1st sow two bushels to the acre; tne salt also hastens the maturity of tne crop. I DOMESTIC. Moth Mixture.—An inoffensive and effectual mixture may be made of equal quantities of olovoe, oarraway seed, nut meg. maoe, cinnamon and Tonquin beans, to which add as much orris root as will equal the other ingredients put together. The whole should be ground, thoroughly mixed, and put into little bags, which may be hung in closets or pat among clothing, with the certainty of the remedy being effectual if resorted to in time. When tha prevention has not been resorted to, and the mischief is npon yon, the use of preventive means is mere idle waste of time. With out allowing an hoar to elapse imme diately after discovery of recent ravages turn everything ont of the house that is made of woolen; search it, shake it, beat it if it will bear it, pnt it in the sunshine, or, failing that, hang it before a good hot fire as near as can be borne. In the worst cases pnt the infected ar ticles in an oven as hot as they will bear. This last is especially necessary for infected mattresses, one mattress sometimes being half eaten away and containing thousands of grubs that should never be admitted into the house again. If they can be all killed and beaten out the mattress may be of some service again, otherwise it should be thrown away as worse than worthless. Lamp Chimnets.—Kerosene oil is generally used tor lights in tbe country, and the cleansing of lamp ohimneys is quite tiresome, but must be attended to every day. The burners often get out of fix, and in is very vexatious to keep them in running order. When they are clogged and will not torn up or down, and are all covered with soot and gum, do not throw them away, but take a little iron kettle and pat m a pint of wood-ashes and a quart of water: pnt in the burners and set them on the stove and let them boil five or ten minutes; take them out, and with a soft rag wash them clean and dry them well. They are then as good as new, and will do another six months. It is very little trouble to do it, and saves much vexa tion. After one has tried it once she will not be apt to forget it. Nice look ing, dean lamps are quite an oruameut, while a smoky chimney and bad-smelling burners are not agreeable. Sponge drops are nice to mix with other cake in the basket. Beat four eggs to a stiff froth; then stir in one heaping cup of sugar and one enp and a third of flour. One teaspoon!ol of baking powder should be thoroughly mixed with the flour, flavor with lem on and drop from a dessertspoon on buttered paper spread on tin plates. The oven should be hot, and the cakes will bake in a few minutes. They re quire watching, as they are very likely to brown too much. In making frosting many have a poor success of it, and complain that it rolls up in turfs and will not frost. Tbe reason doubtless is that it is not beaten properly and the knife not dipped often enough in cold water when putting it on, For good frosting take five table- spoonfuls of pulverized sugar and the wnite of one egg; whip the egg until very stiff; not resting at all, adding sugar gradually; flavor delicately with any essence desired, and spread with a broad-bladed knife, not forgetting to dip the knife repeatedly in cold water. Molasses Pudding,—Four oupfnls of flour, six eggs, two and a half cupfuls of molasses, one and a half cupfuls of butter, or butter and lard mixed, one cuplul of butter or some cream and a teaspoonful of soda. Season to your taste with cinnamon, ginger or cloves and eat with hot boiled molasses as a' sauce; or else hot molasses, prepared by adding a small pinch of soda and stirring until it froths np well. It may be matte more palat ible by the addition of lemon or nutmeg as flavoring.- Lemon jelly, to spread between layers of cake or on the top of sage or custard puddings, is made by grating the liud of two lemons and squeezing out the juice; add a heaping sap of sugar, a tablespoonful of butter. Stir these to gether, and then add three eggs beaten very light; set the basin or little pail in which you have this in another of boil ing water; ttir it constantly until it thickens. When-it is cold it is ready for use. A very delicate and easily prepared dessert can be made of ohoooiate, and as almost all persons are extremely fond of chocolate^ it la very sate. Take one and a half pint* of milk, three squares of baker’s chocolate grated in milk; let it come to a boil. When cool add the yolks of three eggs, three tablespoons of corn starch, one oup of sugar; pre pare the whites of eggs with sugar for frosting, brown nicely and serve cold. To Cleanse Baking Crockery.—Bak ing-plates and pudding-dishes that have been used (or a long time need a through cleansing occasionally. To do this put them in a kettle of water in which you have put a spoonful of wood ashes to one quart of water. Let them boil in this lor one hour, and if any grease has been absorbed through cracks w the glazing, it w^ll be removed, and piecrust baked on a plate thus cleaned wilt be sweet and not unwholesome. Fob a very good fruit-pudding, use one coffee onp of grated broad, also one of apples, chopped fine, and one of finglisu currants; add three eggs, bea ten well, and tor flavoring use lemon extract and grated nutmeg. After mix ing thoroughly, steam for two hours and a half and then serve with wine sauoe. Squash griddle-cakes, which are very n<co tor breakfast, are made of^wo cup fuls of cooked squash that has been passed through a sieve, a pint of milk, two well-beaten eggs, two spoonfuls of sugar, a pint of flour, thoroughly silted, a teaspoon] ul and a half of baking pow der, and a pinoli of salt. Beat ail to gether untd light and smooth. A tbaspoonful of borax put in the last water in wtuoh ole thee" are rinsed will whiten them surprisingly. Pound t ie borax so it will dissolve easily. This is especially good to remove tue yellow that time gives to white gar ment i that have been laid asuie for t«o or three years. An excellent dressing for poultry is made of a small loaf of baker's bread; one-half of a oup of butter, tue yolks ol four eggs, pepper, salt, a little savory and two onions slioed and fried biown; then wet thoroughly with boiling wat.r and mix well. Raw starch, applied with a little wa ter as paste, wih generally remove all stains from bed ticking. To remove tar, rub thoroughly with clean lard, and then wash with soap and warm water This may bo applied to either the hands or clothes. HUMOROUS.

It baa been discovered that potash for potatoes does little good unless ap plied early and thoroughly mixed with the roil. This may indicate either that the potato plant needs the potash in its earliest stages of growth or that the al kali serves other purposes in developing plant food in the soil, which requires a longer time. It is probable that crude potash is rarely or never used as plant lood. As it absorbs nitrogen and be comes a nitrate of potash its virtues be come^ available for plant nutrition.

The following directions how to save and pack for market, may be of service to our readers: 1. Save all the large and small tail-leathers, and those Irom the first and second joints of the wing. 2. Pick dry and keep clean; lay them straight, and pack in light boxes; do not tie in bundles nor ship in bags or barrels. 3. Keep the tail and wing- reatheis separate.

If the farmers of the country who own worthless dogs—curs witlqut breeding—could be induced to destroy them and substitute one well bred shep herd pup, not more, to each farm, the wealth of every laming community would be vastly increased in many ways.

Finkham’s Vt getable Compound is the beet remedy for lemale complaints they ever heard ot. Andrew Bubnett, ef Wellesley, who raises considerable quantities of flat turnips for feeding to milch cows,writes as follows: “When I grass down on well manured lands the middle or last of August, I sow a quarter of a pound of white fiat turnipi seed to the acre with grass seed, harvesting the turnips after about three months’ growth, Too mnch seed is commonly need in raising tor- nips. I should usd lew than a pound of seed to the acre if I were sowing nothing else. Spitti ,g out Food. —When an ani mal chews its food and spits it ont which is called qnidding—it indlufttres a diseased, overgrown, or injured tooth. This interference with the mastication produces indigestion and failure of con dition, but these effects will soon disap pear when the cause is removed. The teeth should be examined and (hose that are found disordered in any way treated as may be needed. If the edges are sharp or project, they should be rasped and smoothed, or, if requisite, the tooth should be removed. The trouble will then cease. Merer*.
