A JGIFPL flBEETqp. Hello! How are joof I «n gtod ■» ImJ your eyre hare fallen apon me. Now tha» we hare met, pray cnltwate ance, for it » my pnrpoee to intereet and serve you. Between you and I, though only a newspaper article, I am ambitious. Having a portreitous mereage for all mankind, if it be coidiaUy roeefved, its import truly real ized and acted upon, I shall be considered a world’s benefactor. Could hare no higher ambition you will admit. A misanthrope of ample means deter mined to end ms life by drowning himself. Going to the banks of the canal, found the time not favorable for the purpose, a num ber of persons being in the vicinity, and day light still present. He oonclnded to walk along the towpath until it was dark. While doing so, he heard piteous cries issuing from the door of a hovel near by, and unoon- ecionsly walked over to the place, and found a poor family consisting of a mother sur rounded by several children, who to'd him of their sufferings for food. He took from his pocket his wallet and handed it to the woman, reasoning with himself that he would not need it. The grateful thanks and praises that be reoeWed from the recipients of his bounty awoke emotion in his breast, of such a pleae.irable character, that he changed his suicidal intent, and decided to live for others. His future life became re plete with good deeds—many a dark home and heart were made bright bv his presence. Well, my appearance in these columns, springs simply from a desire on the part of those I represent, to benefit your news-de vouring race. My province is to help yon, your mends, your relations, aye, even yonr mother-in-law, if that interesting lady be not already far beyond the pale of good influ ences. 1 am sent among men to bear tidings of a discovery that marks sn epoch as important to the health of mankind as Newton’s apple and Franklin’s kite were to natural science. The sick, the discouraged, the dejected, the n down, and the deepairing, may now the Jordan broken all find a care, certain as proved nly necessary, as in the case of that sufferer cf old, to fol low directions. The agent which I herald builds up the system, sweeps the cobwebs from the brain, and sends pure, invigorating blood dancing through the arteries to the musio of happy laughter. The gloomy, wornout man of business, by proper use of this wonderful medicine, will be enabled to meet trouble and reverses like a man. Then, in perfect health, he will not have abnormal views of the “Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man, nor the proudest of his works, which buries empires and citiee in a common grave.’’ The Weak and nervous woman, just able to drag herself, in “moping melancholy’’ ' ““ day, may steal the thronghi duties of the bloom bright ling in now sores, some across glow son? may steal im blush roses, and have eyes as sparkling as the dewdrops ne«U ieir leaves; and the poor little baby, red with pimples and scabby be made sweet, cool and wbole- “that youngster of Mrs. Blank’s, i way, whose family is alwavs in a health.” Don’t you know the rea- No.” Then I will tell you. For _ our neighbor has never been without ieroe’s Gold n Medical Discovery, remedy is a medicine, not a beverage, d is to be taken according to fall and per fectly plain directions accompanying each bottle. It is specific, but not a patent med icine, and contains no vile narcotics or viler liquor. It is a prescription used for years by the well-known physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., whose name is a household word in innumerable homes all over onr own and foreign lands. The Golden Medical Discovery is prepared and offered to the public by the World’s Dispen sary Medical Association, a body corporate, existing by and under the laws of the (State of New York: its president is Dr. Pierce, the great specialist in chronic diseases. The uoctor has devoted the best years of a very busy and wonderfully successful life to the relief and cure of his suffering fellow men— and at a time when high political honors lay broadly open before him, Dr. Pierce re signed his seat in the Congress of the United (states, simply from a sense of duty toward others. His associates in the great sanator ium represented to the doctor that the im mense business of their association de manded that his personal attention should be paid to the great army of patients crowding upon them from every clime. Dr. Pierce is also the founder of the Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo, N. Y. This establishment, possess ing all the comforts and luxuries of a first- class American hotel, has in addition the daily attendance of a large faculty of emi nent si>ecialists, whose practice collectively cover the whole field of surgery and chronio diseases. The laboratory in which Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is pre- i iared is an object of interest and wonder, t has a frontage of one hundred feet, a depth of one hundred and twenty-five feet, and is six stories high. In thi i mammoth and pa latial workshop two hundred persons are constantly employed in putting up Dr. Pierce’s Medicines. While the Golden Medical Discovery’s curative effects are almost immediately felt, it is not merely a temporary stimulant, but is as certainly a safe and complete cure, in all cases for winch it is recommended, as it is that certain misery and death will follow their neglect. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will not cure club feet, will not refurnish armless or legless unfortunates with new and perfect limbs, and it is not guaranteed that even a dozen bottles applied to any stray portion of a second hand skele ton, will develop snch member into an ani mate, human form divine (?). In brief, it is not asserted that this medicine will, or can, counteract the decrees of Providence. * iu all cases where a high state of civilization and cultivation 1ms engendered disease, and suffering, whereby God’g natural man has become a nervous, artificial being, the Gold en Medical Discovery will positively restore to him the strong, vigorous, self-asserting life, from which, almost unconsciously, he had drifted far. and perhaps hopelessly away. It is claimed, and guaranteed, if this medi cine be used as prescribed, and faithfully persevered in a reasonable time, if will per manently cure liver complaint, and the var ious blood disorders consequent upon torpor of the liver, in all their various forms and ramiticationa, including bronchitia, con sumption, which is scrofnla of the lungs, dyspepsia, costiveness, sick-headache..* 1 •“bh diseases, fever and ague, miijpri* a,"and other disorders arising from-*, poisoned or deterior- ''rdhinqd. ’ This wonderful medicine 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 diseases caused by bad blood, are conquered by this powerful, purifying and invigorating medicine. Great eating nlcem rapidly heal under its benign influences. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing tetter, boils, carbuncles, scrofulous sores and swellings, white swellings, goitre or thick neck, and enlarged glands. Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs, is . promptly and positively arrested and cured by this sovereign and God-given remed; taken before the last stages are read For weak lungs, spitting of blood, con sumptive night-sweats, and kindred affec tions, it is a sovereign remedy. For indi gestion, dyspepsia and torpid liver, or “bil iousness,” Golden Medical Discovery has no equal, ns it effects perfect and radical cures. To all suffering from lassitude, weariness, despondency, lack of vigor or ambition, be it man, woman or child, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will speedily impart new tone, vigor and fife to the whole system. The haggard face will grow round, ruddy, and beam with the expression of long lost con fidence. The step will be firm and elastic, and the relieved sufferer will once more enjoy iu common with fellow men that feeling of proprietorship in earth, air and being, only ully realized by those in perfect health. T, o Golden Medical make drunkards benefit, in tact, mare are u>* cases tae World’s Dispensary Msd'oal Areodation particularly desire to reach through their Dr. Pierre’s Golden Medical Discovery. VKhen all other medicine* fail let this b* tried, and no one will be doomed to farther disap pointment. The Golden Medical Discovery is a pre scription of a physician with a wide-awake reputation and an honorable position to maintain. It is far beneath the dignity of Dr. Pierre to lend his name to any vile nos- trim, or catch-penny preparation, whereby the public may be deceived. Having nsed his*. Discovery for many years in us un precedented private practice, he is convinced it is indeed a specific in diseases mentioned. Desiring this marvelous cure shall benefit not only those with whom he comes person ally in contact, but that all mankind may be embraced in ins grand plan for the ameliora tion of human suffering, the doctor, through the World’e Dispensary Medical Association, earnestly and most confidently recommends his Golden Medical Discovery to the public at large, assured the most skeptical will be thoroughly convinced of its worth by a trial of a single bottle. In stubborn, or long-seated affections, and where the bowels are very costive, the gentle, though certain action of the Discovury, will be more rapid,and satisf actoryby supplement ing Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets in small daily doses of one or two.

Dr. Pierce, the President oi; the World’s Dispensary, end his faoult> ; , c < twelve skilled siiecialists, can bo consult*,;. by letter or in person in any case of chronic disease requiring either medical or surgical treatment free of charge. For those desiring more exhaustive information than can be Imparted through correspondence, the doctor has written a book, called “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, in Plain English; or, Medicine Simplified.” This work alone is a goodly harvest for an ordinary life, and stamps its author a pro found scholar and a very remarkable man. The book contains nine hundred and twenty- two pages, illustrated with two hundred and eighty-six wood cuts and colored plates, and makes plain as a, b, c, anatomy, pnysi- ology, materia medica, practice of medicine, hygiene, temperaments, psychology, etc.— and answers in plain, easily-to-be-nnder- stood terms all questions that may arise within their range, especially those ques tions the would-bs inquirer is deterred by fear, or modesty, from asking the family or other physician. That all may be enabled to acquaint themselves with matter so vital to health, happiness, and success, the price of this great work has been fixed at one dollar and fifty cents, postpaid by mail to any ad dress, while smaller and far inferior books, purporting to cover the same ground, have sold at five dollars a copy. It being the aim of the proprietors of the Common Sense Medical Adviser to reach not only the afflu ent, but also those in moderate, and even straitened, circumstances, the price of the work places it within the reach of alL AGRICULTURE. Good new milob cows are very high in price In fact they are always high at this season of the year. There is really more profit in having the best How of milk through the spring if suit able food, ensilage roots and gram are provided. The old plan of having most calves dropped in the Spring and thus securing the beet flow of milk through the hot weather when it is least valua ble; had just one point to recommend It. Calves could do better weaned while they could run at fresh grass than on dry hay and cornstalks in winter. But since the introduction of ensilage even this argument has lest much of its weight. Dukino the warm season, when allow ed to forage for themselves, each fowl gathers several ounces of meat daily. Now, the supply of grasshoppers, bugs, ilias and woims has failed,and it should be furnished from the table, the scrap- pot or the market. Green food is also gone, and this should be iurnised in cabbages, vegetables, apples or out clo ver. A warm breakfast should be given and teere should be no lack in the sup ply of dnnk. A meat diet with grain ana vegetables is essential to the well being of fowls during cold weather, when worms, bugs and insects are not to be found by the birds. Syr Asms are often stored in the barn in one heap until they get chilled, when they are carried into a damp warm cel lar, where they soon rot, and the owner is at a loss to know the reason. When stored in heaps, if the storehouse be dry the under squashes will send out moist ure in such quantities as to keep the whole heap surrounded by moisture. Squashes, to keep well, should not only be kept iu a dry atmosphere, with a very even temperature, but they should be spread on the floor, or on shelves, so that the air can readily pass between them. DOMESTIC. How to Oabvb at Tablh—All theneo- essary strength can be brought to bear while seated by inclining the body sufficiently forward. During all the pauses in the carving the knife and fork should be placed on the knife-rest, and never thrust under what is being carved. Nor should the knife and fork be held in one band while adding the gravy with the spoon in the other. Do not tilt the dish while serving the gravy, or the table-cloth may be soiled^ or the roast capsized. Should there be no gravy-well, a tiny crust of bread may be placed under one end of the dish to cant it a little. Serve horse-raddish with the fork. Up to the moment of using the gravy spoon should be in a vessel of hot water placed at the right hand of the dish. Hot plates are essential to the perfect condition of roast meat; even a second hot plate for a second helping. It is scarcely necessary to caution the carver not to forget to ask what the preference is before carving. When oarvinar fish, if salmon, avoid brtak’ng the flakes by dividing cross wise; carry the knife down to the bone lengthwise of the fish, and remove a slice of either the thick or thin part, as preferred. Maceerel are split at the tail, and the upper half raised from the bone at that part; the bone is removed and the lower half served either entire or divided in sections. This applies to mest otter small fish. In carving a turkey or chicken, roasted or boiled, place it wiih the ntok toward yon; take off the leg at the first joint and then the thigh, or take eff the whole leg and then joint it. Remove the wing close to the joint, leaving the breast intaet Then commence from the wing joint, cutting straight into the bone and somewhat diagonally up to the front of the breast-bone. Remove the side bones by placing the fork flrmjy into the breast-bone and cutting with the knife from the tail end. With a goose or a duck, after the joints are removed, as already desoril>Bd, draw the knife straight across the breast-bone the entire length of the meat and directly to the bone, serving outwardly and with paits of the meat Irom the thigh. HUMOROUS. A Dakota schoolmistress sued three young men for breach of promise. The counsel for one of the defendants moved for a nou-autt on the ground that she was too promiscuous. The court seemed disposed to grant the motion, whereup on the plaintiff asked; “Judge, did you ever go duok shooting?” His Honor’s eye lighted up with the pride ot a sports man as he answeied: "Well, I should say so; many’s the time I’ve brought down half a dozen at a shot.” "I knew it,” eagerly added the fair plaintiff, "that is just the ease with me, and I winged three of them.” The motion for a non-suit wsa denied.

Let no cofferer be discouraged because he A Cup op Coffee.—To make a good cup of coffee, au especial art is requis ite. Many women who pride themselves, and jusily, upon their skill, fail here. For early risers, aud those who require au early breakfast, there is a mode of making coffee so generally practiced as to be almost universal iu this country, aud that is simply to boil the ground coffee for a few minutes and then either settle the grounds with cold water or give them time to settle gradually. This mode can be greatly improved by cork ing the spout with a cork, cloth or paper, thus preventing the escape of the steam, which arises from the boiling coffee. By the escape of steam we lose much of the aromatic flavors that renders coffee so palatable, - Let those who cook coffee alter this method try this plan, and they will And a vast im provement. An eminent chemist rec ommends the following as a favorite way of making this now universal bever age: Three-fourths of the coffee should be boiled aud the remaining fourth infused, after which the whene should be mixed. By this means both the strength and the flavor are increased. To preserve the flavor of ground ooflee it should be wet with the syrup of sugar and then covered with powdered sugar; in this way the volatile parts of the coffee are prevented from escaping. As heretofore said, coffee, after being loasted, should be kept excluded Irom the air and kept in a dry place if uot used at once, as it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and gradually loses its flavor.
