THE TREASURES OF LIFE. There are pearls of truth and wisdom, Thero are palms of, peace and joy, There are flowers of sweetest beanty, For yon?for yon, my boy ! But where are these treasures hidden? Oh, where is the garnered store? Will they fall to each unbidden? When ours, will we yearn for more? There are founts of wondronj knowledge, There are wnters deep and clear, There are gems and sprays of lilies? Bright things the soul holds dear! Sweet anthems of truth and glory, Rich mines of the purest gold. And joys of the hoart the sweetest That ever on earth were told. But where do they lie unheeded? Joys, beauties that oft we miss ; (Oh, spurn not a homely treasure, For want of a higher bliss!) And how shall we come upon them? Through a dim and trackless wood, Where the trees in the high winds murmur Low breathing of endless good? Or far on the towering mountain? Or in other lands apart? Or out on the rolling prairie? Or just here, or in the heart? __ . s / In the paths of truth andJtfohor There.fiwv'ttngels pure and high, circle the brow of manhood With garlands that never die! There are hills and by-ways stretching Far along life's clouded way, But the rock-hewn steeps are gilded With the sunset's brilliant ray. Then onward ! if we falter, Hope,4air as a star above, Shall shine o'er death's cold altar, A token that God is love ! ?Anna M. Ford. A LESSON IX REVENGE. A brown chip of a cabin, a slice of garden, a strip of sand?the rest is sky and ocean if one could only see them through the fog. I don't wonder nature hides her face fter last night's dreadful doings, and sobs and moans like a live thing in distress, for out there in the slate-colored dawn wrecks lay in cruel plenty along the shore?ghastly toys for the merciless waves as they roll in and beat the pooi things up and down upon their bed of death. A gaunt figure, a3 drearily gray as the morning itself, strides up the thread of path that halves my storniswept garden and enters the kitchen where I am miserably waiting her. 44 Oh, Tabitha, have you seen Janet Gray?" I call out by way of good11'iApninrr " Tlmv tr>ll mn chp cnw thp Sea Gull go down, poor thing, poor thing!" " Ay, she's out on the sands now rocking a bit of spar in her crazy arms, drat her!" I am used to her sullen ways; to the disfigured face with its sickening scar crawling into the roots of her spongecolored hair, but the vicious words and venomous smile are something horribly novel. " IIow can you !?how dare you!" rexclaim, hotly. "You are a hard woman, Tabitha C'rabb?a cruel one to say that!" "If I think it where's the good of keeping it to myself? I take notice folks dont waste no pity on me, and I wouldn't thank 'em if they did! Ay, she can keep on wringing her hands and beating her breast?hearts don't break for the asking, I can tell her that much!" The idea of Tabitha having a heart to break! " What harm has the poor girl ever done you?'* " Oh, I've got no special grudge against your Janet Gray," she interrupts, in a careless voice that sounds hard and bitter even for Tabitha Crabb. "but when folks suffer it does . . me good, and when they die I ain't sorry." She means it, every vicious word, for since the night she came to me, roadstained and hungry, I have never caught Tabitha seasoning her opinions ya,., to suit the taste of her friends. 44 Oh, Tabitha. Tabitha Crabb ! and ?* to think 1 could have staked my life on Toilp frtnilnpsa fnr m? I" She stoops to iay an extra log on the fire?the only cheery thing to be seen L' this evening?and its llames leap ruddily down her homely length and across her poor scarred features, but it's quite another light that brightens her face a wonderful second, and did I not know her sublime contempt for human emotions I could swear her voice trembles ? just a trifle ? as she explains in her quick, jerky fashion: "When I say folks, I mean folks, not you ! There's only one thing in :this world I wouldn't do for you," she |goes on, with a vicious dig at the fire that sends the sparks skurrying up the.' fy chimney like mad, "and when that's settled to my satisfaction you are welcome to the hist breath in my body if i' it will do you any good." !" \> ny, xaonnav i cry out, in V " amazed consternation, " what on earth is the matter with you this morning! I do believe you must have turned i? daft. There, there, Tabitha dear, it's bad enough outside. Do get up and let's be comfortable?do."' " Don't touch me!" she exclaims, shrinking from the hand I have placet! upon her shoulder. "It's hatred that's the matter with me?it's envy to see the likes of her always in luck and me being cheated of my share." . And crouching in the shadow of the - chimney-place she burst into such a gust of angry sobs that it frightened !, ine worse than hist night's storm, and to think that in ;dl these eleven years I have never seen her shed a sincrle tear. , " Do you call it luck to see her husband drown before her eyes?" J- "Ay, good luck! such luck, that if I * could see mine in the same strait I would give every penny I've scraped ^ and saved all these years and think it ^ cheap in the bargain." (" Oli, Taintimr l cry, in deepest aistress, "whatever memory thisdreadful storm may have conjured up do not let it wreck your soul with such wicked, wicked words! The only thing to be done with wrongs as old as yours i3 to put them in the care of Ilim who tells us that vengeance belongs to the Lord." "My vengeance belongs to me !" she answers, fiercely. " Don't talk of forgiveness to a burnt-up thing like me *srs while the man who made me what I am goes foot-loose at pleasure. I've 3 waited patient enough, God in heaven knows to be rewarded at last; but seeing that stretched out there on the sands makes me afeard I shall be i cheated at last of my right to pay him back for this!"' In a vague sort of way I have id ways > known Tabitha's atlliction to be the work of an evil hand; but until to-day si) grimly silent has she always been V that I did not dream she took it to \ heart?and now to see her writhing dg"' there in the ashes! v There is a sublimity in pain, no mat 31. for J.m.ii.io it? erarh. and so with ^. a heart full of tenderest pity for my I poor old Tabitha, i kiss her scarified cheek and slip off quietly without anJ other word. ? After a bit, when she jerks her head *.vin the doorway, it is the Tabitha of |i: ' yesterday who bids me come to my It v. breakfast, gaunt and stolid, as I have P known her every hour of these last eleven years. y. And so the days pass until the flowK ers in my scrap of garden are allstalks and seed" pods, and the leaves on my B-w ne tree have changed from green to II ^jisset gold. It has been as pleasant a summer as one could expect from such a dead, quiet spot as Jtethney, whose humble coast folks spend their lives on H the water aad go under r; at last to W their graves. Artists have sketched B; us, tourists made notes cf us; tramps Bs: have ? "Talk of angels,'' etc. There stands one now?a colossal D mote in the sunshine that floods my K, doorway; a mangy buncle of iinpu Ldenrc. subdued ruffianism and rags. A ^H^maller bundle of a like sort?a bit of a boy?lies fast asleep in his disrepu Htable arms, and he demards supper in way that shows he means to have it know the reason whyHV "You can follow the path to the HHkitchen," I say willingly enough, and ^ Lshe tarns to obey me I put aside my ^H[arninx|and step in there to warn Ta^ bitha of liis coming. As it happetis? she is not in the room, so while the man lays the child?still asleep?upon the patriarchal sofa, I set out some odds and ends of food on her spotless table, and pour out a mug of coffee from the pot that is steaming on the hob. "(Jenu-ine stuff this is," he remarks, as he blows it about in his saucer, "just like the coffee my old woman used to make. It's astonishing, missus, what uncommon good cooks badtempered folks be's. Xow, there was my wife, used to bang around the pots and kettles and poke the fire like it was folk's ribs, and I swan! the mote she banged the sweeter the bread turned out?mons'otis good coffee!" lie turns his mutr upside down with a suggestive glance at the pot and then coolly helps himself to the second tilling. No, 1 do not own up to a morbid fondness for tramps any more than Tabitha, but I do relish a chat at my own meals, and if it is any comfort to this misery-ridden creature to talk while eating, I can't, in <y?inmon decency, tell him to hoJiUwrf' tongue? besides, I djinntfY!' I am not afraid, oYcourse; but I do wish Tabitha would hurry from the spring. "Looks like your road was all turnpike, missus," he goes on, between bites. "No ruts and briers in yours. Now mine's been sticks and stones from the tirst start?all the same as the kids there?bless that chap, if lie don't sle?p like grub was twenty miles away! Here, young 'un, hustle up and take a pull at this." But in spite of the liberal shaking the great brute gave the child it only " hustles" to the extent of opening a pair of big blue eyes, heavy with something worse than sleep, and languidly pushing the saucer from his lips. " Oh, you won't, won't you ! All right, stoopid, it's all grist 1 hat comes to my mill," and leveling the coffee to his mouth he drains the last drop and sets the saucer on the table. ??

"Ay, he's been peeking this week or more," answers the tramp, with a reproachful glance at the atom, as if it someway were to blame. " Only last night he begged me to move on and let him be, but a father's feeling is my lay, and I thought I'd try him a day or so longer, anyhow." "You don't mean to tell me," I cried, aghast, " that you would leave him to die on the road." "I've seen them as would," he answers, quickly, " and I don't set up to be better than the general run." I am so horror-stricken at the shameI less heartlessness of the brute that I can only look at the opposite wall for ! sympathy?to tind it in Tabitha Crabb, who is standing outside by the window. She beckons me eagerly; so while the ! tramp gathers up the fragments of his supper and stows them in his mangy pocket, 1 step out in the garden, where she grabs hold ot my arm ana puns me behind the wall. "A something makes me?sorry? for the child," she whispers, in her quick, jerky fashion. " He will only leave him to starve. Ask him to let me?you?keep him; and if he won't give him to you, here'3 all I've scraped and saved these years, you know for what?buy the boy?and let him stay here?and be happy." This my revengeful Tabitha Crabb ! This the money she has hoarded that it might help her to hunt down the man who, in some wretched p;ist time, made her the hideous,scarred thingshe is to day! And alittle child shall lead them. "With a dazed senseof God's limitless power, I go back to the kitchen to make my first bargain in human llesh and blood, and find the child lying there?alone!

But one night when the autumn winrlc 9ri> whwtlin<r around the house. and the waves dash against the rocks like screaming mad things, he goes to sleep in Tabitha's arms and never wakes again. When we stand at last by the poor little fellow's grave she takes my hand between her horny palms and gasps in a pathetic voice that sounds, oh! so unlike poor old Tabitha Crabb's: "I have buried all my anger here. I thought I could have killed him when I saw him sitting there after all these years, knowing how he had given me this, and then left me for a young pink-and-white thing who wouldn't have soiled her hands to help him to save his wicked life; but their [child sought of?I don't know." tiliQ throw liorQplf hfxsiilp t.llf> lif.Mtt grave without another word; but if she had told me all that is surging in her poor, outraged heart she could not have taught me a better lesson in revenge. " Oh, You Darling Confederates." Basil Duke, a noted cavalry officer under Morgan, has been at the capital during the week. Duke is a very handsome man. His eyes are dark brown, his features arj clear cut and ruddy. A flowing black mustache and beard hide the lower part of his face. Although nearly fifty years of age he does not look over thirty-live. lie is a lawyer with tine practice in Louisville, where he is very popular. Ilis figure is still as slim jis when he used to rush up and down the country on a crazy thoroughbred at the head of a regiment of free lances. One day during the war a detachment of his troops were moving through the northern part of Kentucky. Dick Wintersmith's son was in the band, and its leader. The guerrillas were worn out and hunted down. There horses were neaily foundered. The men were dirty and ragged. They halted for a rest near a seminary for young ladies, all sympathizers with the Confederacy. Out came the ladies when they saw the gray coats. They brought out food, drink and armfulsol' tlowers. They hung (lowers around the necks of the hunted men and sang out in musical chorus, "Oh, you darling Confederates!" A straggling Confed crate, lat, greasy arm ragged, came pounding up at this, Hogging a jaded i hack along, swearing because lie could ' not keep up with his better mounted associates. He was just in time to hear the invocation of the young ladies. He yelled out: "Oh, you sweet, darling Confederates, the Yanks are coming!"' There was a bolt at this. The laggard pounded on behind, yelling, "Oh, you sweet darlings, 1 hope the Yanks will get you!" The Federals were right at his heels. The Hying Confederates wheeled in their saddles, laughing at the certain capture of the slow rider. Suddenly his tired horse stumbled, fell, and threw the fat rider over into a ditch, where he escaped notice, while a detachment of Federal troops headed off the main band and captured every one but the man who was saved through having the poorest horse. The prisoners never heard the bust of "Oh. you sweet, '.lading Confederates."? Waihinyton HerciM. The Fisherman's Floral Calendar.

The Piutes are having a grand gambling tournament here, says a recent issue of the Winnemucca(Nev.) fiilcer /State. In the daytime they meet on the sunny side of one of their wickiups, from which they extend wings by tying I blankets on poles, to break the wind. The gamblers who engage in the tournament place two poles on the ground about ten feet apart anil parallel with each other and seat themselves on the ground, cross-legged, outside the poles. There are generally six or eight bucks on each side, and the stakes, which range from $2 to $20 in silver, are stacked on the open ground between the parallel poles. Each side is furnished with six or eight short sticks and four long ones. Two strings of small shells tied in the form of rings are then procured, and when it is decided by chance which side shall take these shells the game begins. A low, monotone ui chant, accompanied by striking the poles with the long sticks and the swaying of their bodies to and fro, as if keeping time with the chant and noise made by the /> frl . u. 1\TT fKo uirlo wlm OtlUIVTI, AJJ ll'UIIUllitrvi KfJ Vliw Iiiiv won the shells, and the two bucks who have possession of the shells move heir hands and arms and change the shells from one hand to the other and finally conceal both hands under their blankets and cease moving them. This seems to be the signal for one of the bucks on the other side to guess which hand the shells are concealed in. If he guesses right the shells are thrown to his side and two of the short sticks. Then the chant and its accompaniments is taken op by that side and continued untd the shells are won back l?y the other side. "When all the short sticks are on one side the game is decided, the side having the sticks being the victors. The chant and beating the poles and swaying to and fro ceases until the stakes for another game are deposited, when the performance is repeated. All day long and far into the night by the light of a sagebrush fire this gambling is continued, and considerable money changes hands.

A GREAT PHIIANTHROFIST. Details of the Busy I;tfe of Peter Cooper. The death of Petor Cooper, the venerable New York philanthropist, resulted from a '"old, which turned into pneumonia. In consequence of his advanced age, being in hi* ninety-third year, he was unable to make a successful fiu'ht against the disease, and succumbed to its attack after a short illness. Shortly before his death Mr. Cooper wan surrounded by all the members of his familyIns son, ex-Mayor Edward Cooper, and wife, his son-in-law, Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, and wife, and their six children. He motioned to his daughter, Mrs. Hewitt) to come to his cide, and whispered a loving farewell. Then he spoke to his son and then to the children, His words were scarcely audible except to those to whom ho spoko. There was not a dry cyo among those who surrounded the deathbed. As soon as his death was mado kun'.'.vu "?no tlags on all the nuWiAAniildings in the city were put at half mast and the various exchanges and State legislature passed resolutions of regret and respect to his memory. Peter Cooper was born i>i New York city February 12, 171)1. His maternal grandfather, John Campbell, a resident of New York, was deputy ?juarterina<ter-genoral during the war of the Revolution, and expended a considerable fortune in the service I of his country. His father wns a lieutenant iu the army in the struggle for imlependence. After the close of the war ho established a hat factory, in which young Peter worked. The family was large, and Petet had to work hard.being able to attend school only half of each day of one single year. In his seventeenth year he was placed with John Woodward to learn coachmaking, and served out his apprenticeship so much to the satisfaction of his master that the 1 itter offered to set him up in business, which offer Cooper declined. Ho followed his tra le for awhile and then engaged in the manufacture of patent machines for shearing cloth, which were in great demand during the war of 1812, but lost all value on the declaration of peace. He finally engaged in the manufacture of cabinet ware; then engaged in the grocery business in New York, and finally in the manufacture of glue and isinglass, which he carried on more than forty years. In l&W he erected large iron works at Canton, near Baltimore, but disposing of these he erected a rolling and wire mill in New York, in which ho first successfully applied anthracite coal to the puddling of iron. He removed the machinery in l^l'i to Trenton, N. J., where he erected the largest rolling mill at that time in the United utiles for the manufacture of railroad iron. Here, subsatiuently, he was the first to roll wrought it on beam-; for fireproof buildings. Mr. Cooper's name was identified with the early history of some of the most notable inventions and improvements of the past hundred years. While in Baltimore he built, after his own designs, the first locomotive engine turned out on this continent, nnd it was operated successfully on the Baltimore j.nd Ohio railroad. He invested a largo capital in the extension of the electric telegraph. Mr. Cooper served in both branches of the New York common council. ri.? ,?;n TWo> Cooper's name down to a grateful and appreciating posterity is t'ie Cooper Institute Early in life he had feltiho difficulties that young people meot in seeking education in art and science. He determined to aid those who should come after him by placing within the reach of any one in his native city the means of getting such education as each person might most need. The building for the Cooper Union was begun in 18f>f>, on its present Bite at the junction of Third and Fourth avenues ai:d Eighth street. The first cost, amounting to 11101 e than $GGO,COO, and all the expenses of the Union, have been defrayed by Mr. Cooper. Tho plan of the Union is based largely upon the working of the Polytechnic school of Paris. There are free schools for instruction in the a'fthotic and industrial arts and in scientilic departments beyond the teaching given in the public schools. Thnrc are regular courses of lecturos on subjects of art, science, political and social economy, and literature and more than twenty professors aud instructors nro employed at an annual ozpense of $">0,001 Th:s great expense is met by the endowment bestowed by Mr. Cooper and by the rental of business stores in the building, which is, of course, equally his gift. Nowhere in the world can a finer monument to any man's memory bo fan ml Umn this unostentatious buildini? ill the midst of ft thickly settled city in which thousands now lniag and thousands yet to come will always bear in grateful remembrance tho name of the benefactor who helped them to educate themselves and lay i he foundation of their success and happiness. Mr. Cooper was an enthusiastic supporter of the paternal theory in government. He believed that tho national government ought to provide for tho comfort and prosperity of the whole population, so that there should be no more suffering and want. He favored tho encouragement of emigration by government grants of money and land, and ho believed strongly in the wisdom of public improvements on a large scale at government expense. It was due to his opinions on finance that he became a nominal candidate for the presidency in 1P7G. He had no idea that 1 e would be cle-. ted, 110 personal wish to usvimic tho ofliro; nor would ho hive wished it, even lad there been any probability of his olect*>n. Koferring to his candidacy, he wrote: "Ineed not say that this sacrifice of peace and rest is like the surrender of what remnant of life I may have." Mr. Cooper was saving,without being parsimonious; shrewd, without being sharp; j careful, without being timid. He had acI quisitiveness strongly developed, but what he acquired was put to good use. Honest I and onen in all his doings, just and toler ant in all hi* judgments, courteous anil considerate in his conversation, he was a man respected by all the world. His religions vies\a were never thrust upon any one, and (lis philanthropic works were never confined to aiding the believers of any particular doctrine. Such a man and such a life belong not alone to one city nor t > one State?lie is a representative of civilization. It is audi men as he whoso lives and whose influence build up the strength of the land. Mr. Cooper was always a careful and prudent business man. He was strongly opposed to the methods of many merchants, who launched out into extravagant enterprises on borrowed money for which they paid exorbitant rates of interest. Once while talking about a project with an acquaintance, the latter said he would have to borrow the money for six months, paying interest at the rate of three per centum per month. " Why do you borrow for so short a time?" Mr. Cooper asked. "Because the brokers will not negotiate bills for longer." " Well, if you wish," said Mr. Cooper, " I will discount your note at that rate for three years." "Are you in iartiest?" asked the would-be borrower. " Certainly I am. I will discount your note for $10,003 for three years at that rate. Will you do it?" "Of course I will," said the merchant. " very well," said Mr. Cooper, "just sign this note for sflO.OOJ, payable in three years, nnd give me your check for $S0), and the tran-nction in vuiii|>icic? XJUI wiicic in me muncj *wi ir.e?" asked the astonished merchant. "You don't grtany money," was the reply. " Yonr interest for thirty-six months, nt three per centum per month, amounts to 108 per centum, or $10,800; theiefore your check for $800 just makes us even." The force of this practical illustration of the folly of paying such an exorbitant price for the use of money was such that the merchant determined never to borrow at such luinous rates, and ho frequently used to say that nothing could have so fully convinced him as this rather humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper was a very tender and devoted husband, and a loving, though not indulgent father. He ha* related with great glee that in the early days of his married life, when his wife was too much occupied with her household affairs to be able to give exclusive attention to her baby, he turned his inventive talent toward a labor-saving cradle. He invented a cradle I hit would not only rock itself and fan away the flic^, but which lulled th*j child asleep by n mucfosil.lmr ?1 fiinhmonh Thin invention was b >ught from him by a Connecticut i>oddler, who considered '.t cheap at ilu cost of his whole outfit, horse, wagon and good*. One of Mr. Cooper's latent addresses in public was singularly characteristic of the man. It was delivered in the open street to a mixed crowd of men and boys, who cheered the aged philanthropist in return. It was late one afternoon last fall, at Uroadway and Houston street. Peter Cooper's carriage had come to a sudden stop in front of the llevere h:?use: one of the trace< was broI ken. The driver lab >red vainly to repair the damage. The policeman on tiie corner tried to help him. but w t!i no better success. The street was blocked and the crowd {tressed on impatiently. In the hubbub Mr. Cooper opened the door of Ilu carriage and stepped out to learn what was the matter. The crowd, in>tantly recognizing him, made room respectfully. He 110 so .ner saw what the trouble win than he called the coachman away, and, unbuttoning his great coRt, fell to work 011 the broken trace himI self, 'llio crowd watc'K-d him with increasing interest a< lie ikflymade his hitches and half hitches, and with only a pie e of string and n sinal wooJen sink in a few minutes rej a'red ti e trace su'licicntly to allow the carrii ge lo be drivan on. As he stepped upon ti.e curbstone af.er finishing his work, Mr. Cooper, pointing to the t' ace, spoite Kinuiy 10 some youny men wiib .sioou near, explaining to them t':e advantage of being able to help oneself when there was need. His addre s v. as brief, and was listened to with respectful attention, and when the ol 1 gentleman stepped into his carriage and cl< s.-d the door, the crowd cheered and hals were swung in his honor. Mr. Cooper's visits to his office in Hurling slip of lute jvars were somewhat irregular. Tke burdens of til-- details of iho business have long been buine 0:1 other shiKiUlers than his, although when the time came for consultation and the determination of sonr.; question of moment, his counsel was never dispensed with. Hut, no matter at what time he visited his office, whether in the morning or the afternoon: whetlur every day in the week or only at inter, als of several days, he was sure to be greeted on his departure by a swarm of beggars. It was a mystery how they knew he was coming, it seemed as though they had a man always on i,uard to spread the news far and nrar, for I he no sooner entered the office! tlnn the! mendioiuts began to collect. Not a few wero tramps, who, even recking with alcohol, held out their hands for gift'. They i swarmed to the front of the store and even invaded the premises. It was n? use in telling Mr. Cooper tint they were id'o and drunken. Ho would not relinquish hi* h; bit of giving something to every man every time, lie did it in spi e of his pnrtnc r?, and ] said it gave him pleasure. Mr. Cooper was reputed to be a very wealthy man, but the extent of his fortune is known only to his immediate family. Ho gave away millions to his relatives, besides the millions that he gave to the Coope. Union. His benefactions in other directions hove been enormous. People never tired of asking him for money. His daily mail brought turn bushels of begging let . - j tore. JUe was besonght to engage in ai. sorts of wild schemes of benevolence, and to contribute to the most pressing individual needs. It would have required more than the labor of one person to answer these letters, and many of them went unanswered. But many of them met with seccess. He was literally giving all the time. How much money Mr. Cooper did make will probably never be known to the public. He reserved something for himself as a source of income for his running expenses, but it is said to bear no considerable proportion to the vast fortune which he earned. A near friend of the family said that Mr. Cooper's will was made several years ago, and that but a comparatively small sum wns left for Mr, Cooper to dispose of, as he had already given away most of his property.

Got money honestly if you can, bnt get money," was a foolish father's advice to his Hon. Get money, if you can honestly, makes but a slight alteration in the order | of the words, bnt varies the sentiment considerably. There is no harm in making money. It answereth all things. Used rightly it is a power for good, and there is money enough in the world to form a lever by which the mass of humanity could be lifted, to a certain extent, out 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 you pave yon must know how to deny tho^e wno would borrow and nevor reimy, as well as those who beg simply because tfiey are too lazy to work; ..Th.fcre are mgn.tfho neyer want to see you Mefanfyfo lifiu the fiivdr ot rt 'nan.. "1 ney will ask for just one word w;ith yon, and that one word is sure to be money. An impecunious fellow met a rich acquaintance, and not liking to ask diieitly for a loan, said, "Friend Smith, if you had ten dollars in your pocket, and I was to ask you for the loan of live, 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 or.e of the Micnwber 6ort?always waiting for something to torn up. How like some peo[ le 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 mi jht 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 wili prove. Those who have keen insight and can rend between the line? may solve the conundrum the sooner for it; but upon all, light will dawn ere they read the final word of our story. Light will dawn, we said, and so it wil', 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 Inm. lie had long neglected catarrh, and laughed at the idea of taking anything for it when advi.-ed to do bo. and so went from bad to worse. His lungs became diseased, a hacking; churchyard cough racked him almost to pieces, and he fras fast wasting away. A mere shadow of his former self, ho scarcely slept at all rft night, or slept only to dream horrible di earns. Talk of nightmare! A whole circus troupe, horses and nil, seemed to make his bed the arena of their wild performances. In this ense money did not make the niare go, for he spent a deal of money 0:1 doctors and physics and was nothing bettered. He ate little, and was fast going down to an untimely grave, leaving his wife a widow and hii four bright children orphans, when, lo! on one eventful night he dreamed for onco a bright and happy dream, which our next paragraph will relate. 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 curc?sure, safe, harmless, prompt nnd reliable. Get well and seek to take health thoreby 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. SI. D. "What can it menu.'" ne saia w mmsuii, us ue 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. Remembering 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 bo consulted i in addition to all that had besn 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 se.irchel 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 a clew. letters stand for words, and they hoped to light upon the words that should suggest the cure. They Grieved Many Days over their lack of good luck, as they said, and the Good Man Dreamed again and again, but saw no more angels. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. "Oh, that the angel had Guided Me Definitely and Given More Directions," he exclaimed, again and again. Nearly two weeks had elapsed since the night of the Great Mysterious Dream, when there came to lhe 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 lhe 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 mrwlfxsn mnnv combinations with (ham, that they occurred in almost every sentence he uttered. 1 hey entered even into his prayers. Heaven Grant Mo Deliverance, he would say, nor let disease Grind Me Down, and so forth, ad infinitum, ai:d a milo or two beyond. Mentally tortured and suffering in every fiber of his body, what won lor that l:e road page after page of the pam >hlet. It was a work on diseases, and in th > morbid state of his mind its content.* seemed to suit him. It spoke of almost every disease that flesh is heir to, but oh, joy! as ho read, a Glimpse Mo9t 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 to hear what hs had found. All expected to see some Great Miracle Done, and then came ti.j explanation! Simple, of course, but why had lie not thought of it before? Oh, what a revelation! Here was hope for him and for all consumptives. Hero, hope for suffering friend* and neighbors. That night hescaice 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 theie oiher? 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. Dronra 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 suffe -ers. 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 others how they might get deliverance. He went through the list of diseases among th >se 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, coujjhs weak and diseased lungs, to Irs frienJ, General B , who was as near tho grave as ho. And for all these, as well as for himself, the Grave May Disappear from present vision, and each may be Given More Docade3 of life than they had hoped to have years. Against the milder cases ho marked P. P. P. Against the serious cases he I marked G. M. D., not tho Grizzly Monsler Death, which ho so long had dreaded, but something?oh, so much better, as wo 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 tho suffering how they might be healed. Some laughed and continued to suffer, refusing to be healed. Moro were wise, took his counsel nnd proved hi.; vision of the night as he had done. "A vision, less bccuilinu far, Than waking dreams by duyli.cht arc." Can anything bo more delightful than health after sickness? To be a well man, to fool pure blood coursing through your veins, to know that lungs, liver, kidneys, and all ths Grand Machinery, Does its duty perfectly in ono's body; to carry health's ruddy mark on tlio cheeks. Ah, this is Good Most Decidedly. This was our hero's case, and thousands can tell the same story. The good angel has come to them. Tney have seen the letters Gleam Most Distinctly before their eye*, nnl Going Most Definitely to work in pursuing the instructions given, they have recovered that great blessingHealth. G. M. D. has been to them a channel of good, Good Mysteriously Done, and they have bid their sick friends do what all (ha 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 Mo*t Anxiously. Alas, that human nature is so slow to believe?alas, that men and women are bowed I down with the burden of complaints, of I which they might be rid ? consumption, bronchitis, dyspepsia, heart disease, kidney disease, malarial complaints, scrofulous dis- | eases, skin diseases, tumors, ulcers, nnd | many more. It wouiufecm as motion mhhu | ill deity had given every letter of the alphn- ! bet as inany di-eases as it could possibly desire. thus forming an alphabet of sorrow, suffering and woe. Happy they who the , Great Measure Discerning, have escaped the I clutches of sad diseases. Looking back upon his past experience, j Mr. Jones feels Grateful Most Decidedly, and continues telling the old story of his [ sickness, his vision, and his restoration to health: for all the sick nre not well jet. Hut ' lie lias hail the pleasure of seeing, as he says, j j Good Miraculously Done to hundreds upon his personal recommendation. Dtar reader, bear with us awhile if light has not yet dawned on your mind. The mys- ; tery will soon be revealed.

In this is Given More Desirable information than you can fmd in any other work of a similar nature. WISE WORDS. lie is richly endowed who is cheaply diverted. A contented spirit is the sweetness of existence. The most dangerous flattery is the inferiority of those who surround us. A great noise is often made by a small stone; loudest talk is not always the deepest. Slumber not in the tent in your columns. The world is advancing, advance with it. tf wp had no faults ourselves, we should not take pleasure in observing those of others. Ignorance is ona of those infirmities that are insensible; and though it be ever so desperately sick, feels no pain or want of health. It is against human nature to believe any people will persist in wrong and cruelty if they are permitted to enjoy their natural rights. "We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dear-bought experience. Would you punish the spiteful? show him you are above his malice. The dart he throws at you will rebound and pierce his own heart. Let the young girl seek to adorn her beauty, if she be taught also to adorn her mind and heart, that she may have wisdom to direct her love of ornament in due moderation. The pleasures of this world are deceitful; they promise more than thej give. They trouble us in seeking, them, they do not satisfy us when pos?-: sessing them, and they make us despair in losing them. A good conscience is better than two witnesses. It will consume your grief as the sun dissolves ice. It is a spring, when you are thirsty; a staff, when you are weary; a screen, when the sun burns you, and a pillow in death. So certain is the crime of listening to carry its own punishment that there is no pointed prohibition against it; we are commanded not to commit other sin?, but this one draws down its own correction, and woe be to him who infringes it! A Land of Peaches. In the neighborhood of Sydney such fruit as the peach, nectarine, apricot, plum, lig, grape, cherry j<nd orange are as plentiful as blackberries. The orangeries and orchards of New South Wales are among its sights; and in the neighborhood of Sydney and Port Jackson there are beautiful groves of j orange trees, which extend in some places down to the water's edge. Individual settlers have groves which yield as many as 00,000 dozen oranges per annum. One may there literally "sit under his own vine and fig tree." If a peachstone is thrown down in almost any part of Australia, where there is a little moisture, a tree will spring up, which in a few years will yield handsomely. A well-known botanist used formerly to carry a small bag of peachstones to plant in suitable places, and many a wandering settler has blessed him since. Pigs were formerly fed on peaches, as was done in California, a country much resembling South Australia; it is only of late years they have been utilized in both places by drying or otherwise preserving. A basket-load may be obtained in the Sydney market during the season for a few pence. The summer heat of Sydney is about that of Naples, while the winter corresponds with that of Sicily. If you have failed to receive benefit from other preparations, try Hood's Sarsaparillaj it's the strongest, pnrest, best, and cheapest. "KoukIi on ItntN."

An Internal Revemne OfBctr BtTedi mHiot qf BattOn Herald: ; # Dkae Sm?During my term of service in the Internal Revenue Department of the United States, at Itnttn* my office waa In this city, I was afflicted with a sew* attack of kidney disease, and at times suffered intensely. I received t ho nodical advice of some ot oar best pbfffcians for a long time, without being benefited by their prescriptions. Being diseoaraged by the failure of Uto doctors to help me, and bMnf trrgod to use Hnut'a Remedy by a friend who had tested Its merits, although reluctant to try a patent medicine, I was finally indoo?A to try the Remedy, and procured two bottle# of it, and commenced taking it faithfully according to the directions. Before I had taken it three days the eKTTOdattnc pains in my back had disappeared, and before I had used two bottles I was entirely cured. Whenever, from tfverexertlon or a violent cold, the pains in my kidneys returiv a few doees of Runt's Remedy quickly effects a cure. Before closing I beg to mention the remarkable cure j of a friend of mine in New York City, to whom I recommended this valuable medicine. He was sulfating severely from an attack which was pronounced by his physician a decided cms of Bright'* Diseas?of the Kidneys. I obtained two bottles of Host's Remedy for him, and be commenced taking it, and began to improve* at once, and trot speedily restored to health, and b? attribute* the saving of bis life, under the blessing of a merciful Providence, to Rant's Remedy, Another friend of mine in >'ew York, to wbon I reoommended Hunt's Remedy, wu suffering severely (rota kidney disease, and was entirely cared of it after urine this wonderful medicine only a short period.
