M. 'D« A Medley, a MarTel • THX STOKY OF JL BBSAU. Get money honestly if yon can, but get money,” was a foolish father’s advice to i\is 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 maid: money. It answereth all things, rightly it is a power for good, ana there is money enongh in the world to form a lever by which the mass of humanity con'd be lift ed, 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 von 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 work. There are men whenever want to sec 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 diiertly for a loan, said, “Friend Smith, if you had ten dollars in your pocket, and! 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 well by letting disease take care of itself. But dise isos do not heal themselves, and too late their victims full often find this out to thoir sorrow as death seizes upon them. Had they been wise in time they might have added man; 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, bnt upon all, light will dawn ere they read the final word of our story. flight 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 catarrh, and laughed at the idea of taking anything for it when id- yvised to do so, and so went from bad to K>rse. His lungs became diseased, a hack- niV churchyard cough racked him almost to pieces, and he was fast wasting away. A monk shadow of Ins former self, he scarcely slept kt all at night, or slept only to dream horrible dreams. Talk of nightmare! A whole circus troupe, horses and all, seemed to ma^e his bed the arena of their wild per- »ormapces. In this case money did not make |fhe mare go, for he spent a deal of on doctors and physics and was Ig bettered. He ate little, and was |oing down to an untimely grave, leav- wife a widow and his four bright en orphans, when, lo! on one eventful he dreamed for once a bright and \ dream, which our next paragraph will years. P. P. health. t>. M. D. has neen to them a ensw- uel of good. Good Mysteriously Drue, snd 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 Most Assuredly will put them in the Way Desired Most Anxiously. Alas, that human nature is so slow to be- jeve—alas, that smn 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 diseases, tumors, ulcers, and many more. It would seem as thongh some ill deity had given every letter of the alpha bet as many diseases as it coaid possibly de sire, thus forming an alphabet of sorrow, ~ they who the ve escaped the mone; noth!] fast mg child, nigh liapi. rek Tenth, the black-visaged monster, had then stared him iu 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 ana seek to take health thereby to others. Behold the cure!” With these words t he 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 tiiat 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 books, on placards on the walls—everywhere they sought—hoping to find « clew. Letters stand for words, and they hoped to light npon 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, but saw no more angels. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. “Oh, that the angel had Guided Me Definitely and Given More Directions,” lie 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 lie 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 had worked letters over in his mind, and made so many combinations with them, that they occurred in almost every sentence he uttered. 1 hey entered even into his pray ers. Heaven Grant Me Deliverance, he would say, nor let disease Grind Me Down, and so fortli, 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, hut oh, joy! as he read, a Gliin) se Most Delightful 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 M> hear what he 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 friend-i 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 Monagrnm Deciphered readily, and reading G. M. D.; and again P. P. P., and yet again F. P.; and one hugeP, around which these othess were entwined, and then W. D. M. A. All the letters blended, yet each was di tinct. All he had seen in the book, all be again saw in his vision. Di earn Most Glorious. D. M. G.—G. M. D.—Again he rang the changes; backward, forward, every way. Gold Medal Deserved. M.

P. was Freedom Promised, and backward, P. F., it became Pain Flees. Now he coaid 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 thise 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 a? near the grave as he. And for all these, as well as for himself, the Grave May Disappear frorr present vision, and each may be Given More Decades of life than thev had hoped to have Against the milder cases he marked P. Against the serious cases he marked G. M. D., not the Grizzly Monster Death, which he so long had dreaded, bnt something—oh, so mnch 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 i he sick and the suffering how they might be healed. Borne laughed and con tinued to suffer, refusing to be healed. More were wise, took his counsel and proved his vision of the night as he had done. “A vision, less beguiling far, Than waking 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 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 tlie cheeks. Ah, this is Good Most Decidedly. This was our hero’s case, and thousands can tell the same story. The good argr’ has seme to thorn. Tuey have seen ihe letters Gleam Most Distinctly before their eyes, an 1 Going Most Definitely to work in pursuing the instructions given, frhev have recovered that great oieesmg— suffering and woe. Great Measure Discerning, clutches of sad diseases. 'cooking back upon his past experience. Mr. aones xeeis uraterui most xyeciaeaiy, and continues telling the old story of ms 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 us awhile if light has riot 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 your 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 bnt awhile and you will find the boon, the blessing and the benefit. The mystery of the three P’s, of the F. P., of the G. M. D., and of the W. 1). M. A., Will Dawn Most Auspiciously upon yon. Columbus discovered America and won high honor and immortal fame, and they who have learned the secrets of the wonder before your eyee, good reader, Give Most 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 Pain’s Positive Persecution has been escaped again and again by P. P. P. Virtues nnnumbered serve to make G. M D. the Greatest Mer.y Deigned by favor ing providences for the relief of sufferers, and its discoverer feels P. P.

Every sick person is interested tn the theme before ns, and every well person, too, for who does not know some one who 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.

Judge Eaton, of Ottawa, 111., says in an article on the history of the Irish potato, a fact which many farmers have observed, despite the assurances of sci entists that mixing in the hill is impos sible. “A curious fact connected with the growth of the Irish potato, and which most farmers have no doubt ob served,is that they will hybridize in the hill. Plant a red and a white potato iu a hill, or so near together that their bearing roots will intertwine, and part of the tubers of each plant are liable to be marked with red and white patches, or one half may be red and the other half white. This is an interesting fi- Id for investigation for some inclined to the work’” A coerespondent writes to an ex change asking whether phosphates are good for potatoes. We have manured potato ground with barnyard manure, well rotted and mixed, and have had as beautiful potatoes as ever were seen We have used phosphates with the same r.tulls. We have used » mixture of the two with the same results. But we fancied that the potatoes from the phos- phated soil were a little firmer and more solid. The average at factories from common cows the year through has been from twenty four to twenty five pounds of milk to make one pound of butter, or two and one half pounds of cheese. It taxes more during the flush season of pasture, and less in autumn and in win ter. Eotation in the garden is as necessa ry as in the field, Different kinds of vegetables require different kinds of food. While manuring will help much, it is in every way desirable to reverse the order of planting every year. Better crops will result. A Tonawanda man used one qnart of sawdust to each hill of potatoes in one plot and none in another. The sawdust hills yielded uea iy twice as much as the others, and the potatoes were larger and smoother. The success of an orchard greatly on its early treatment. depends Culture pruning and manuring are most impor tant during the first few yean; a lack of them at which time can never be atoned for by subsequent care. The answer to the question of deep or shallow plowing depends upon the soil. Deep clay loams and alluvial soils w th subsoil am 1 anrface CZZ hardly be plowed too deep. Wet land should not be plowed deealy. Ou this soils do not stir below the available plant food, DOMESTIC, Ncdels fob Soup (Old Penn. Dutch Beoipb).—This preparation of eggs and floor, which resembles vermicelli, i» called by the descendants of the old Dutch Settlers (Areart-nudele, probably because, when properly made, it is in very fine or throad-like pieces. Mix together two raw eggs and sufficient floor to make c. paste stiff enough to knead; put the paste on a floured board, and knead it steadily until it is full of air; this condition may be ascertained by cutting off a bit of the paste -with a sharp knife; if the crust sides seem full of little holes the paste is ready to roll out; during the kneading sufficient flour must be used to prevent the paste stick ing to the hands. When the paste is sufficiently kneaded divide it in four parts, and roll each part so thin that large printed letters can be seen throngh it; as the paste is being rolled a very little flour must be used to keep it from sticking to the board; in order to avoid using too mnch fleur turn the paste fre quently while it is being rolled. When the paste is thin enongh rub a little flour on both sides of it with the hand, and let it stand for about an hour to partly dry; when the paste is partly ary ru b it again with floflr, roll it as light as possible, and, holding the roll firmly with the left hand, cut the thin nest possible slices from the end; spread the threads thus made a little apart np on a floored board and let them dry for another hour. Then boil them in the soup only until tender, and serve them in it. Nndels are best when freshly made, bat they can be kept in a dry place for several weeks. Veal Soup.—Bone a shoulder of veal, cutting from the inside of the joints, and leaving the meat and skin as whole as possible for staffing and baking. For making the soap, put the bones in a large saucepan with five quarts of cold water, and boil them slowly for four hours. Then add to the soup half a cupful of ouion peeled and sliced, the same quantity of rice picked over and washed In cold water, a medium-sized carrot scraped and out in half-inch dice, a pint of peeled and chopped potatoes, half a cupful of finely-chopped parsley or celery, four teaspoonfnls of salt, a level teaspoonful of auy powdered sweet herb except sage, and a saltspoonful of pepper, After adding these ingredients to tue soup, let it boil slowly for two hours; at the end of that time rub four tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour to a smooth paste; stir this into the soup until it is entirely dissolved; then take out the ltones, see that the soup is palatably seasoned, and serve it. Veal Soup with Mudels.—For four quarts of soup use a knuckle of veal up on which about half a pound of meat has been left; put it over the fire in five quarts of cold water, and boil it slowly tor five hoars; then take up the knuckle, reject the bones, but out all the the meat and gristle in small pieces and put them again into the soup; season it with four teaspoonfuls of salt and half a saltspoonful of pepper, put into it some nudles, prepared as directed below, and boil it again trom five minutes to half an hour, according to the size of the nudels; then ascertain it it be pala tably seasoned, and serve it. Pompons and Balls.—The mode of making these very popular ornaments is to cut two circles oi cardboard tbe size of the pompous, with a hole m the centre and to wind the silk evenly round the two together from the outside to the inside, until the hole is filled up, then cut the silk at the outer edge, pass seme coarse silk or twine between the cardlioards, tying it tightly and so keep ing the silk together, then having secured this tear off the card board. A smooth ball, which a little clipping with shaip scissors ought to improve, will be the result. How many little things one might do if they were only suggested to one at the proper time Here is one of the many: The high chair for the baby is always too large at first, this is a wise provision for growth, but not always a comfortable one, but it may be made to by making a padded covering for the seat and back of tbe chair. The smaller the child the thicker the cushions should be; thus a chair that is large enough for a child of five may hold an infant oi a few months. Fbied Ttout, Msuntain Style.- Clean the trout, wash them iu cold wa ter aud roll them iu Indian meal. Cat in thin slices, quarter as mnch salt pork as there is trout, and put it oyer th© tiro in a irying-pau to cook slowly; as soon as the pork is liulit brown take it up and keep it hot while the trout are fried in the drippings it has yielded; serve the pork with tne trout as soon as they are brown. Bboilkd Tbout,—Wash the trout in cold water alter they have been cleaned and dry them on a clean towel; split the large ones down the back aud make two ents across the sides of the small one.; season them with pepper and salt, put them between the bars of a buttered wire gridiron, and broil them quickly until brown over a very hot fire; put them on a hot platter, put a small piece of butter on each one, and serve them hot at once, Fbibd Tbout.—Clean, wash and dry small trout; season them with pepper and salt, roll them in dry flour, and then plnnge them into enough smoking- hot fat to entirely cover them; as soon as they rise to the surface of the fat and are light brown take them up witn a skimmer, lay them for a moment ou brown paper to free them, from fat, and then serve thorn at once. Tbout Baked in Cbeam.—Clean and wash tue trout, lay them in an earthen dish just large enongh to hold them; season them lightly with pepper and salt, and pour over them cream enough to cover them: bake them in a moderate oven for half an hour, and serve them in the dish in which they were baked. To grow a pretty vine from the sweet potato, put a tuber in pore Baud, or sandy loam, in a hanging basked, and water oocasioually. It will throw out tendrils aud beautiful leaves, and climb freely over the arms of the basket, and upward toward the top of the window. Mot one visitor in a hundred but will suppose it to be some rare foreign plant. Fobob must never be used to extract anything from the ear. Tne best and safest plan is to inject lukewarm water rather forcibly by means of a syringe.

JEbbosbbe oil will cure chilblains. Bub tne parte affected thoroughly with tue oil before going to bed. A second application may be ueotssaiy. “We oon- FUMOROUS. Cubing the past Summer a number of Baptists in a certain village in this State entered upon the work of erecting a church edifice. One day when old farmer Gibby was in town he was in formed of tiie project and asked to come down with a hand-some subscrip tion. “How much do you expect me to sign ?" he asked, as he looked over the subscription paper, will leave it entirely to your science,” was the reply. The old man wiped off his hands, put on his specta cles, and,-Laving borrowed a pencil, put his name down for fifty cents “FJty cents, eh?” observed the man who had presented the paper. “Well, Brother Gibby, I must say you have a mighty small conscience.” “It may look that way at first sight,” calmly replied the old man; “but when I can have one of the best pews in the Meth odist church for nothing, it seems as if fifty cents was all I could pay and run the risk of being saved by toy other denomination.” An insurance agent named Pyle, In running fell over tbe stile, St. Jacob's Oil gave him relief And the pain was so brief, He got up and said: “I should smile.” « A lame old lady at Keyser, Had no one to advise her, ’Till D »ctor John Boyle, Tried St. Jacob’s Oil. Its action did simply surprise her. Mbs Mose Hchaumbukg mentioned to her .hue band that she was going to get up a little birthday party for Isaac, thoir youngest sou, but Mose objected strongly, as it would cost too much money for cake. etc. “But,” remonstrated Mrs. achaum- burg, “I have promised dot little poy, Isaac, *1 makes him some inn on his birthday.” “Dot vash all right,” replied Mose, putting his finger to his nose and wink- imr very slyly at Mrs. Scaumburg, “I dells you, Rebecca, how we makes dot little poy Isaac much happiness mitout any expenshes at ail. You know dot poy Isaac efery night takes a dose of dot vermifuge dose vorms for, but he likes dot vermifuge not. Now I dells you vat ve does mit dot poy Isaac to celebrate his birthday mit On his birthday we gives him dot vermifuge not, and den he vash petter pleashed as if he had a barty vat cost a tollar and six pits for cakes and dose udder fool ishness.” The 8ucce c sful man has many imitators in bis peculiar line of business, but still there is only one onginator.

S|A lady recently returned to Denver from a visit to St. Louis, where she has been speudiug the summer while her husband was here in Denver to see to business in his store. She was met at t'ie depot by a servant with a carriage. Ou the way home she asked: “Was it lonesome at the house with out me there?” ‘ Yes, ma’am.” “How is granamother ?” “She is pretty well, ma’am.” “Are the buds all alive?” “Yes ma'am; and (veil oared for.” “And Jane (the hired girl), is she well ? ’ “Yes, ma’am; much better now that she sleeps down stairs next to Mr. ’s room.” “Sleeps where 9” excitedly.. “No where’s ma’am 1” When others are suffering, drop a word of kindness and sympathy.

Faikbrotukr.” Poisoning Potatoes.—The inquiry is repeatedly made, if the use of Paris green for killing the potato beetle is not dangerous to aU who eat the tnbers.asd we recently met three intelligent persons who invariably refused to eat a mouth ful unless assured that Paris green had not been used on them. They ascribed several existing epidemics to the use of such potatoes. In answer to the inqui ry, we may state in the first place that Paris green is insoluble, and the potato cannot in any way absorb it. This would seem to be a sufficient reason. But others may be added, among which are the facts that the poison is not ap plied to the tnber,bnt to the leaves above groubd, tod tbe potato canuot get at it; and also that the quantity used i*> so minute when spread over an acre, that the iron which is in nearly ail soils in far greater quantity, neutralizes the poison at once as soon as it reaches the ground and before the potatoes could possibly come in contact with it. Mil lions of persons eat such potatoes daily, year in and year ont, and most of them live. For sore feet, BUfollen joints, sprains, corns or bunions, use Ft. Pat tick’s 3a ve. Healthy Trees —To get healthy fruit we must have healthy trees, is as true to-day as it ever was Yet, for all, we often find persons condemning a fruit as worthless when the fault has been the iok y tree that bore it An unhealtly raspberry, blackberry or strawberry, always gives fruit of poorer flavor than plants in good health. It is not always easy to tell when plants or small fruits are in good health, for they often have something the matter with them before the injury is very plain, The experienced eye detects a change in the eclor of the foliage, in many oases of plant trouble. If we know the soil to be goo i, and the plant has for all this a yellowish tint, there is something the matter with the plant. It is gener ally useless to try to renovate a sickly stock. Better get new plants, or anoth er kind, and plant where the kind has not been growing before, if we can find such a spot.

It euablea the crop to be “laid by” before the cotton demands any large snare of our attention. It is more hkely to hit tho season than late plant ing—and it is a well known fact with all farmers that the early planted corn is "Iways the heaviest We have had core bitieu down l y tbe frost, and while the stalk was not quite so large, the yield of gram was extra good. One of the greatest troubles about early planting is the great difficulty in obtaining good stands. This difficulty may be overcome in a great measure by thorougu pr, par- atiou of the soil, shallow p antiug and running a heavy roller after tie harrow. When the stand is foond to be defective the old style of re-planting should be adopted, that is, filling np the gape by planting with a hoe. Xterly planted oom will rarely ever be troubled by the out worms. GEManf Rheumatism, C r/euri Lumbago, Backache, Heai ■ore Th rant, Sw«l lingo, Barn*.
