FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. j
FRVtnrrf.' i?tub Notes.
I knew ft farmer, not remarkable for !
his carol nl management of manures, nor i
in fact 'jr thrifty farming, and he occupied
a f;ir:u rather worn by previous
ba<l marin^emont. For a few years past j
it ha=i brt<.^ noticed that he frets crops of j
wheat actually larger than his neighbors !
get, thI the impr. vomeut attracted notic-j,
no ? called on him to ascertain what
mea:?-? v, ore employed, and was informed I
that tlii- improvement was due to use of
plaster on Lis wheat in the fall, the rato
of the application being about two bushels
to the acre. He had taken no other
f.teps to improve the yield of wheat, bnt
tins practice had been kept np through j
several years, vith results as stated.
On a former occasion I recommended
farmers to prepare their own phosphates, j
but I have seen no reasons for modifying
my opinions. It is relatively cheaper
to mako up a considerable quantity,
as 1 have already shown, and I therefore
say it would be better for tho farmers
of a neighborhood to ioin. Ground !
bono may be adulterated very much
without betrayiug by its appearance the
wrong. So I say it is better as well as ;
cheaper for farmers to prepare their j
own pho^ahateH. As to how to apply j
them, I ffvo only to say there is no bet- j
ter way than to drill the fertilizer in with
the seed.
Rye for fodder makes probably the !
best early feed that can bo obtained, ;
but it must bo cut before it gets too !
ripe or stock will not eat it with relish. \
It can bo sown in the summer on rich
ground, and will make considerable
good feed from an acre. It is said that
if it be sown then it will not head in the
same season, bnt I never yet waited
long enough to see how it -would be. I
do not believe that anything can be
prooured to take the place of corn fodder,
taking all things into account. A !
neighbor of min*> has this season grown i
some German millet, but it did not como j
_ up to bis expectation, growing very
livrge and coarse stalks with but few
leaves. It seems very innutritious, but
when it comes to be fed it may prove
better than it looks. I have never yet
succeeded with Hungarian grass as a
soiling crop. It will not produce a
quarter as much fodder as corn, nor do j
cattle or horses like it as well. I have 1
grown eight tons of dry corn fodder per
acre, and the total expense did not exceed
?12 per acre for labor anil seed. If
any one has plenty of time to take care of
tl.o crop I think the best substitute that
can bo raised is beets. But they take a
largo amount of work during the early
part of the season, and to be very successful
there must bo a great deal of
hand-hoeing dono in a root crop. And
then there is much more trouble and
risk in keeping them for winter and
spring feeding. Yet an acre of beets, on
good ground, well taken care of, will pro- !
duce a great amount of excellent feed j
for cattle and hogs. I have nearly \
of avo nn o n rrrt? Otl/1 !

kept them in good growing condition all

Corn Bread.?My corn bread hus
been pronounced to be far lighter and
nicer than any made by first scalding j
the meal. Into one cupt'ul flonr and j
three oupfnls Indian meal mix two teaspoonfuls
baking powder whilo dry;
then one teaspoonful sugar and half a
teacnpful of butter melted; mis with
milk into a stiff batter, and bake either
in small tins or a pan in a quick oven.
No eggs.
Quickly MiJ)E DrMPLixas.?A pint
of bread crumb?, a teaspoonful of finely j
chopped suet, two tablespoonfuis sugar, ;
grated lemon peel and a little nutmeg,
if liked; mix all together with two eggs,
* roll into balb with a little flour, and j
drop into boiling water. Twenty min- 1
utes will cflok them. While boiling |
make the following sauce: One cupful
of milk, one tablespoonful of ungar, one i
of floor, rubbed smooth with a small |
piece of butter, a little grsted lcmr>n i
peel. Boil together, ?md keep Stirling
about five minutes.
For .Lamb Potfes.?Take a breast oi
lamb, cut it in pieces two inches square, j
pot it on the fire in the saucepan in cold j
water. As soon as it boils take it off :
and wash it in plenty of cold water. Pot |
it on the fire again in the saucepan, i
cover it with water, make a bouquet of I
parsley, allow it to simmer for an hour j
and a half, then salt and pepper it to |
taste, and make a crust of a quart of :
flour, two ounces of lard, a teaspoonful |
of oream of tartar and two of carbonate j
of soda; mix it up with either milk or j
water; roll it out and put it over with j
the lamb. Let it cook for twenty min- j
utes. And there is your potpio.
To Cook Potatoes.?Peel and cut in |
very thin slices a numbe*>of potatoes j
according to the number of persons at j
the meal. Lay them in water over i
night. In the morning pat them in the
collander and drain off all the water.
Fifteen minutes before breakfast time
put the fryiugpan on the fire one-half
full of any kind of Gripping. A - soon
as it is smoking hot drop the potatoes
in it a few at a time until they are all in.
Keep the fryingpan in constant motion.
Try them with a fork, and as
soon as they aro ready take them up
into a collander. Season them with
salt and serve. The thinner they are
sliced the quicker they will cook. Sufficient
dripping should be put into the
pan to half fill it, so as to evaporate the
steam rapidly enough, or they will in a
manner boil in it. When only enough
fat is used to prevent the potatoes sticking
to tho pan, cold boiled potatoes
must bo cut in slices and fried. This is
called potato saute.
Hints for WaMblnic Day.
. Washing day will insist upon making
its unwelcome appearance once a weefc.
The linen for Monday's wash should be
collected on Saturday night, sorted and
put to soak in cold water, according to
the various kinds. The body linpu
should be put into one tub, the bed and
table linen into another, and the fine
things separately. Plain collars, cuffs
and wristbands should be strung through
the buttonholes on a piece of bobbin
long enough for the articles to be easily
divided for rubbing, starching, etc.
Colored nn.IIn-, j.riuis an2 flannels
must be laid aside to be washed in a different
manner from the white calico or
linen. Properly boiled suds are far
better than soap for washing, particularly
if a washing machine be employed.
The suds should be prepared in the following
manner : Sbred into an earthenware
jar the best yellow soap cut into
very fine shavings, and pour boiling
water to the quantity required. One
pound of soap i3 plenty for a gallon of
water. Add to this quantity half a
pound of the brst Scotch soda, and set
the jar (covered) on a stove or at the
back of the kitchen rango till the soap

Bnilding Yachts.
The celebrated yacht America, a vessel
which won her laurels in 1851, and
which onr yacht builders, with all their
skill, have never yet improved upon,
had masts which raked heavily aft, and
she drew nearly three times as much
water aft as forward. Despite the speed
and other advantages thus gained, a
shipbuilder in Bombay has constructed
the Ocean Qaeen in diametrically the
opposite way, and claims that she beats
steamers, making, witn a xavorable
breeze, some twenty knots per honr.
The masts rake, Malay stylo, greatly
forwrad, where the heaviest draft of
water is found. It remains for naval
architects to reconcile the discrepancy if
they oan.?Scientific American.
A Severe Penalty.
Soon after the first railroad was opened
in China, a daft native ran in front of a
locomotive and was killed. The evidence
at the inqnest showed conclusively that
the man had been in an excited state of j
mind bordering npon insanity, and that
the engine driver took every conceivable
precaution to avoid running over
him. The British minister, however,
is so anxions to impress the Chinese authorities
with a proper sense of the fairness
and justice of the English character
that he insists upon having the engineer
tried for manslaughter. "
To Old Friends,
Where are they scattered now,
The old, old friends ?
One made her dwelling where the maples
glow,
And mighty streams through solemn forest
flow,
Bat never from the pine crowned land of
snow
A message tends.
Some meet me oft amid
Life's oommon ways;
And then, perchance, a word or smile declares
That warm hearts throb beneath their load of
cares;
For love grows on, like wheat among the tares,
Till harvost days.
" But some are fall'n asleep
The words are sweet!
Oh, friends at rest beneath the blessed sod.
*31y feet still tread the weary road ye trod
Ere yet your loving souls went bacK to uoa :
When shall we meet ?
Oh, thou divinest Friend,
When shall it be
That I may know them in their garments
white ?
And see them with a new and clearer sight,
Mine old familiar rrienda?made fair and
bright,
Like unto Thee!
ON THE VERGE OF DEATH.
A GYMNAST'S ADVENTURE.
I had amoag my l'ellow students a
special renown for my skill in every
kind of gymnastics. Athletic exercise,
in the widest sense of the term, was to
me a pleasure to which I had surrendered
myself, body and soul, and in oonsequence
of which I possessed, although
not tall and strong, some muscle and a
high degree of confidence, while I had
acquired, in perilous situations, presence
of mind?all of which qualities
form even now a considerable portion of
my character. When at last my studies
were ended, and I had obtained a situation
as pastor in western Germany, I did
not give up my old inclination for gymnastics,
and there was considerable talk
one fine day over the circumstance that
the young clergyman of the church of
St. Blasius had been seen hanging in his
garden by his legs, and in this headlong
position caressing bis little eon, who was
crawling under him on the ground. I
possessed such an article of humanity,
since, on my accession to the pastorate,
L naa eteereu into ine naroor 01 matrimony.
Bat my favorite diversion, when I had
a few leisure hours, and the sun was not
too scorching, consisted in climbing to
a narrow projection on the lofty church
roof, and walking about there while I
smoked my cigar.
What a magnificent place this old
church roof was! Quite another world
than that which lay far below me?a region
of rock and stone, without vegetation
or water, except when it rained, and
the gutters were filled, in which case
this special realm presented little attraction.
It was a world where I had often
indulged in star gazing.
I regarded this airy region as my
special province, where I reignod in solitary
majesty over my subj cts, consisting
of daws and swallows?often very noisy
aud intolerable ones. It excited in me
a merry, perhaps somewhat boyish
feeling, as I thought what a look my
superintendent would put on when he
heard of my excursions in the narrow,
gloomy towers, between great grinning
clnn? faY. nhornVin c/xilv ^rnenna
V,
:iml gutters of zino, or on the pinnacles
of the towers, from which was presented
a wide prospect over ?*. picturesquo
landscape.
Sometimes I climbed down in the
'oroad gutter in the middle of the roof,
from which nothing was to be seen
above but the blue heavens and the
swarming swallows, aud below, the
broad paved church square, on which, a
hundred aud twenty feet beneath, the
people crept about like ants.
It was during one of these excursions
that the event occurred which I will relato,
and which thoroughly cured me
for several months of my desire for
roof climbing.
I must first inform you that, around
the outside of the cathedral, just where
Lhe roof terminated, ran a smooth projecting
edge, about a foot wide. Under
this, considerably lower, jast above the
great entrance gate, was a huge stone
projection, wmcn iormeriy supported a
colossal figure oi St. Peter, holding a
fjreat iron lantern. The statue had long
:igo disappeared, and half of the lantern
was broken off, so that what was
left had the appearance of an arm chair
without legs.
Standing on the stone eaves one day,
ibove this relio of past centuries, the
thought suddenly seized me that it would
be au amusement of a new and original
';ind to swing mj-self down and enjoy
my cigar in this fantastic arm chair.
Without hesitating a moment, I
turned around, kneeled down, seized
the eaves with oonvulsive grasp, and
the next instant was dangling in midair
over the abyss, more than a hundred
fpfit from fcb.fi purfch.
As I looked, in this situation, under
me at the defective lantern, I found
i-hat I was not directly over it?indeed,
it was two feet further from the wall
than I had thought.
This circum :tance, however, caused
me little anxiety. Giving myself a j
swing, by which I easily pressed one
foot against the building, I sprung safely
into my resting place in the broken
lantern.
Here I sat a long time, smoking my
cigar, drumming with my heels on the
wall, and complacently enjoying tho
cool of the evening and the magnificent
prospect.
The sun was setting before I thought
of undertaking my return, which I was
especially induced to do by the sight
of one or two persons, who were standing
below and gazing up at me.
It was not three minutes before quite
a crowd of people had gathered about
them to enjoy the spectacle of a man
sitting in St. Peter's lantern.
"Halloo 1" thought I, "it is now
time to return ! Some one will find out
who I am, and then there will be a pretty
gossip in the plaoo." But I suddenly
became aware that return was not so
easy.
My seat was sd constructed that I
could not rise in my usual way. The
sides of the lantern were of smooth iron,
and so high that I could get no hold.
There was nothing left me but to press
mr Vi o n /I a nnnn fho anaf VmVnnrl mo
raise myself so, and draw my legs after
me until they could rest between my
hands upon tho lantern. Then I could
rise ;to my full hoight, and turn around
on my own axis.
This way of raising yourself evory
gymnast knows and practices, but every
one knows, too, what an exertion of
muscular strength in hands and arms is
necessary in this procedure, and that
any mistake would occasion a failure?
perhaps, too, a fall below.
Now, there is a vast difference between
a bar erected on level ground,
and an iron lantern on the wall of a
church a hundred feet high, from whioh
a fall upon the rough pavement must
have an absolutely fatal effect.
The more I considered my situation
the less it pleased me, and there I sat
and smiled feebly at the multitude below,
which increased every moment,
ashamed to cry for help, or make known
my fear.
" Well," said I to myself, " if I sit
here any longer I shall lose every favorable
chance to escape. It is ludicrous
to become bewildered, like a child that
has gore astray in climbing, quite aside
from the astonishment that the story |
must cause, if it comes to the ears of my
parishioners and supporters. Up, then!
I will clo?e my eyes and act as if I
were performing on the soft turf of my
garden."
Id the Rpace of a minute I stood on
my legs in the lantern, and wondered at
my foolish weakness, when I observed,
to my terror, that I still had the most
difficult part of my undertaking to perform.
Raising my hands above my head
to seize the smooth stone eaves, I became
aware that they were at least a
foot and a half beyond my reach. In
vain did I rise on my tiptoes and
stretch out my arms convulsively; it
seemed highly probable that I should
have to spend the night in this situation.
This was truly no agreeable consideration
; for the seat was only just large
enough for mo to sit upright in it, and
if I fell asleep, which was possible, I
should be precipitated headlong upon
the pavement. Then thoy could collect
my bcnrs the next morning.
At this critical moment I was rejoiced
by the appearance of the sexton on the
eaves. He had missed me, and had
come to seek me.
"Silbermann," I cried, interrupting
his exclamations of astonishment, "I
am, as you see, in a peculiar dilemma,
since 1 cannot reach the eaves. You
must help me. It is no use to bring a
rope, since you would not have room to
brace yourself. If you bend down, however,
and reach mo*your hand, you can
exert your entire strength, and raise me.
You are a powerful man, and I am not
particularly heavy."
" Oh, sir, I am sure that I cannot lift
you 1" he replied.
1, Ttr J L I" T
" my gwu miiu, yuu uuubl. i x uooour
ed. " I cannot indeed pass the whole
night in this situation, and, moreover, I
might ^ack up my bundle to-morrow
immediately, when this stupid story became
known. Do not be foolish, therefore,
and give me your hand."
In reply the sexton crouched down
unwillingly, and stretched out his hand,
which I firmly seized with both mine by
the wrist, while I swung myself out into
midair. I felt one or two convulsive
jerks, and was drawn up about half a
foot, but then at once let down again.
He could not raise me.
I looked up. Such a visage as met
my gaze, may I never in my life see
ogain! It was pale as death; the protruding
eyes stared with the expression
1 A i-i- iL. ~1
01 measureless terror uiu me auvaa uoneath
us, and a cold sweat stood upon
his forehead. "Let go!" he cried.
"Curses upon you, let go! You will
break my arm ! I can hold on no longer,
and shall be dashed in pieces!"
He wailed like a child, at this moment
of extreme peril. My hair rose?my
brain reeled. I expected myself evqry
instant to plunge below. My desperation
gave me coolness, and I was surprised
at the clearness and consistency
with which I spoke.
" Silbermaun," I said, " listen to me,

can feel that you are gaining the counterpoise
more and more every successive
second. If I let go of you 1 shall perish;
if not, wo both will, and I assure
you that I shall not let go, as long as I
can hold on. You had better, therefore,
draw me up at once."
I saw that he set his teeth together,
and closed his eyes. Then followed a
terrible exertion of strength, and I was
kneeling upon the eaves. The sexton
lay beside me in a deep swoon. I now
bore him carefully through the trapdoor
to the vestry, and gavo him water, so
that he soon recovered consciousness;
bat neither of us has ever forgotten that
perilous adventure upon the eaves of
the church roof.
As for myself, three months passed by
before 1 again trod this almost fatal
place, and you can easily imagine that I
avoided St. Peter's lantern liko fire.
The sexton kept the secret, assuring
inquisitive questioners that an eccentric
Englishman, traveling through the country,
had taken hie seat in the lantern,
and this version of the story was currently
believed.
Although the gymnastic mania was
not entirely frightened out of me by this
adventure, it only remained in a modiI
fled form, and I have since confined my
J athletic exploits to places less perilous
i than the scene of those moments of tor
iror* '
What War Will Do.
! The leading journals of the United
j States figure that a general war in :
I Europe will make business lively on
! this side of the wat6r. It will increase
i the price of grain, as the grain growing
countries of the old world will be shut
j out of foreign markets. The New York
Tribune says : In many branches of ,
manufacture the disturbance in Europe 1
would help us, either by preventing the
shipment of surplus products here, or
by increasing the demand for our products
abroad. Tho iron, woolen, and I
| boot and shoe manufactures, with many
of minor importance, will be affected in
! greater or lesser degree.
The surplus capital of Europe must
turn more and more to seek security across
the oceau, and United States bonds must
advance. Other undoubted American
securities will be sought, and many millions
of foreign capital will find safe employment
here. These investments and
loans will go far to stimulate our industry.
There is reason to suppose that unsound
concerns will escape loss through
a general and indiscriminate advance of
stocks and bonds. European investors
have acquired a profound distrust of
most American enterprises. They are
no longer cheated by the tricks of
speculators, which fix an artificial price
on the stock board. Strong foreign demand
for securities that are known to be
of real value will only bring into clearer
light tho weakness of those which enjoy
no confidence abroad.
If Franoe, Germany or England engages
in tho struggle, financial consequences
of the gravest importance may
result. If Franoo, for example, should
be compelled to unlock its immense
I s\t nnin if novmnnv cilirml/l KA

forced to abandon for a time its changes ]
in currency, if England should be ]
threatened in India or met by a foe \
capable of disturbing its commerce by ,
maritime warfare, the effects in this |
country might be ic definitely increased. (
But as matters stand, a prospect of war
in Europe is a prospect of higher prices
for breadstufls and provisions, larger 1
demand in sound American securities,
lower gold, and improved business.
A Terrible ReTulsion.
Who Bhall fathom the divine depths
of a mother's love ? Who can tell the
workings of a woman's mind? The
other day a stately dame in Chicago
heard a rumor th^t her son, heir to her
wealth, and whom phe loved dearer than
life itself, had goue and proposed to a
beautiful and accomplished but penniless
girl. Summoning the young man
to her presenoe, she obtained the girl's
address, and called upon her. " My
poor son," she said, " has been so misguided
as to propose for your hand in
marriage (thongh why, I am sure, I
cannot soe), and I havo come to say that
this match cannot be allowed to be concluded.
Your position is such that "?
"I beg your pardon, madam," replied
the young girl, in a clear, bell-Hire voice,
"but I have rejected your son's offer."
" Rejected bis offer I" almost gasped
the old woman. "Yes, madam," replied
the beautiful girl; " I told him
that I could not for a moment entettain
any offer from him." "Oh, you did.
did you ?" rejoined the old lady, with
freezing politeness and scarcasm ; " oh,
you did ! And wasn't my son good
enough for you, you impudent thing,
you ? I never heard the like in all my

Rnined by Gambling.
An incident upon which to fonnd a
moral is furnished Mr. Moody in the
death of a young man in Chicago. His
name waa George Russell. He was of
good family, it is said, and was lured
away f. om a respectable life by the infatuation
of gambling. When he came
to Chicago, in 1871, he represented a
New York cloth house, and sold goodB
to jobbers throughout the West. At
his boarding house, where were half a
dozen persons of his own age, the game
of "vingt-un," with a twenty-five cent
limit, was the principal amusement,
and, so far as known, this was the first
hazard in which Russell ever indulged.
He liked to play, but the small limit
precluding large gains, Ije was dissatisfied
Tho into rflcrnlar pamblinc
houses T7as easy, and thither he would
go whenever ho had any money. As a
usnal thing he left behind him all he
took iD, but the hope of winning his deposits
back and " a big stake " in addition
enooTiraged him to continue his
visits. His " lnok," however, did not
ohange, and he never won what he anticipated.
He spent so much time in
gambling saloons that his employers
heard of it, and discharged him. Having
no souroe to look to for money, he
turned his attention solely to gambling
for a living. He had made the acquaintance
of several bunko ropers, and, possessing
a fair address and an abundance
of effrontery, he boon found a " part
ner," and the two thereafter devoted
themselves to fleecing strangers. Bossell
was successful in this line and
made considerable money for the gang
for whom he "steered." His share,
thongh, was left in faro banks. When
the bunko men were driven from the
oity he went with them, and, after wandering
for a time, at length made Omaha
and Ogden his headquarters alternately.
For six months he worked the
Union Pacific trains in oompany with
monte players and his part of the proceeds
of tb? robberies was several thousand
dollar'j. Every penny of it, however,
went into the maw of his enemy,
the "tiger," and he returned to Chicago
" dead broke." Having no place
to sleep and nothing to eat, a gambler
who was a stranger to him, took him to
his room and shared his bed with him
and gave him a little money. Bussell
complained of being ill; said he "felt
cold;" ho went to bed and was seized
with a congestive chill and died during
the night. Ho had no friends in Chicago;
at least nono can be found. Half
i vi? ut
a dozen persona nuew uim biibjuuijt, um
his only intimate acquaintances 44 cut"
him two-years ago. His roommate did
not know what to do with the body.
Understanding that one of the deceased's
relations was a Judge Russell,
of New York, he telegraphed there but
got no reply. The fact of his death was
mentioned to the gang who knew him
better than any others, but they refused
to give up a dollar to help defray the
bnrial expenses. The result was the
body was turned over to the authorities
for interment in the Potter's field or
transfer to a dissecting table.
A Heroine.
Mrs. Wilhelmina Giles, who died recently
in London, was in early life quite
a heroine. She was a native of Dantzio,
and was in her seventeenth year when
the city was besieged by the French.
The assailants ?moshed everything in
her father's hoiiae, and even drugged a
meerschaum pipe out of his month, declaring
that it was too good for a "pig
of a Prussian " Her parents died soon
after the siege, and the girl went to live
with her anut. Private Giles, of Colonel
Macdonald's Rocket Troop, was billeted
on them, and fell in love with her. She
accompanied her husband to England,
and when the war broke out went with
him to Belgium. At Waterloo she was
, posted with the baggage at the rear of
the army. Toward the close of the day
! aim rnonf. Cnrtror/1 tnnnnf. rl nn ft rlnnbfiV.
to ace how " her Giles" was getting on.
A limber gunner, seeing her, advised
her to attach the animal to the carriage
and mount up by the side of him. This
she did, but, a little while after, suddenly
discovered that the donkey had disappeared,
and with it all her baggage.
She never saw it again, and late in the
evening found herself alone on the field
of Waterloo, without food, and separated
from her husband,who had been sent
to Brussels with dispatches. A soldier
gave her a blanket, in which she made a
hole so as to slip it over her head, and
tied it around her like a cloak. This
was bnt a poor protection ngainst the
torrents of rain that fell during the
night, and, added to the groans of the
wounded, kept the forlorn Prussian girl
Aw>ikA till morninff. when her husband
returned from Brussels and found her.
Mr. Giles regained in the army until
his time was up, and then, with the savings
ho had amassed while in the service,
he built a little cottage at East
Wickham. He died about fifteen year?
ago, but his wife was spared to see tie
wrongs of her native town avenged on
the French in 1870.
Off for Liberia.
Bishop Gilbert Haven and his colony i
for Liberia left New York, in presence
of quite a number of people, many of
whom were Methodist clergymen and
personal friends of the well known Connecticut
prelate, for Liberia. The oolored
immigrants were chiefly from
South Carolinia, and of both sexes.
They wore homespun clothes and appeared
a hardy, healthy set of people.
They seemed to be rather glad at leaving
this land of liberty and equal rights,
and no doubt their minds pictured a
future of glowing and perennial happiness
on Afric's sunny strand. Bishop
Haven was in fine spirits. He spoke
enthusiastically of the destiny of the
colored race?of the day when, in educated
numbers, they would return to
their natal soil and redeem a great continent
from sterility and barbarism. He
dwelt fondly on the prospect he hoped
to see arise of great fleets leaving the
ports of America laden with intelligent
and Christian negroes, carrying the
torch of civilization and religion into
the haunts of superstition, vice and
heathenism. The immigrants were
thirty in number, comprising men,
women and children, the oldest being
fifty-eight years and the youngest twelve
months. Most of them were farmers ;
there was one carperitcr, one laborer and
one blacssmith. The bark in which the
party sailed carried a large cn:go of
provisions of every description.
Merchant's Gargling Oil has won for
itself a world-wide reputation as a liniment
usefnl in rheumatism, sprains,
bruises, burns, scalds, etc. This preparation
was first manufactured in 1833,
and since then has steadily grown into
the favor and confidence of the people.
The long term of years during which ii
has constantly been brought to the notice
of the public, together with its im
meubu fcaio, givo eviaeuutj ui uu luuereui
value which cannot be doubted. An objection
to its use?that of staining the
skin?has been entirely removed,so that
it now leaves no stain whatever. Although
called " Family Oil," and prepared
intentionally for human flesh, it
answers as well for beasts; and will be
found one of the best remedies for all
purposes, where a liniment is required,
that has ever been manufactured.?The

A Ringing Melody.?A patriotic Servian
has translated 11 Yankee Doodle "
into his native tongue, and the air is so

One More Unfortunate.
Almost every day the papers ohronicle the
sulcido of some poor unfortunate whose mind
baa been enfeebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horiaon a heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and untellable agonies of this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one of the moat
depressing diseases afflicting humanity. It is
cosmopolitan in its nature?no noun try is exempt
from its visitations, no family free from
its attacks. There is a balm in Gilead ; it
comes in the shape of the Peruvian Syrup.
For years it has been scattering its blessings
abroad. There is, probably, no disease which
experience haa so amply proved to be remediable
by the Peruvian Syrup m dyspereia.
The moat inveterate forms of this disease
have been completely oared by this medicine,
as ample testimony of many of our first citizens
proves.
