Time, Labor and Money Saved
Something that Every Family Wants.
DR. J. K. McWHORTER'S
Will MOID,
FOR WASHING CLOTHES.
"I^AMILY WASHING can be accomplished In a FEW MINUTES without the labor of RUBBING or
r the use of the Wash Boards or Washing Machines. This wonderful Discovery was patented by Dr. .J. K.
%?-Ttrv?. ? o.i? v. '""'I" ias7 onri mmsi with plart tidlnpg to everv household and accomplishes
jnc vr onnor, u? catcw, ?.,vnu? .>a?, aww>,?..v ?
in a few minutes of itself, what has heretofore required days aDd hours of bard toll. It Is estimated that
One-Third of the Wearing Value of Clothes was RUBBED OCT under the old process of washing, but
now with the introduction ol the "Washing Compound" this waste is preserved and the unavoidable
EVIL of the PAST is REMEDIED, and A NEW ERA HAS DAWNED UPON OUR COUNTRY
which saves TIME, LA BOB and MONEY.
For Novelty, Simplicity, Cheapness and Thoroughness It is Unsurpassed. Perfect Satisfaction Guaranteed.
The entire washlngof a large family can be done in TWENTY MINUTES, and LESS TIME, at
a eostof only a few cents. There is nothing in the prepartaion that will Injure the hands or clothes.
J^Famiiy Rights, County or State, can be purchased by applying to

job of its class ever executed in this city was done
viz: the making of the pipes for the City Water
Works in tbo year 1 S&S.
My stock of patterns for ARCHITECTURAL
WORK, COLUMNS for Store fronts, is large and
various, and in RAILINGS for Balconies, Garden*,

In the machine line I can furnish my patrons with
STEAM ENGINES and BOILERS of anv size and
description. My CIRCULAR SAW MILLS have
carried off the prize at ev?-ry State Fair held in tbif
city, and in their construction I have taken pains to
combine simplicity with the most useful modern Improvements,
and may flatter myself that my CIRCULAR
SAW MILLS find favor with every sawyer who
understands his business.
The manv orders I am steadily receiving for SUOAK

Twenty idle clerks and salesmen saw
the old man's predicament, and smil- ?
ed at his look of bewilderment. No ~
one ventured to help him. A fashion- *
ably dressed young woman came ^
along, took in the situation at a glance,?
and, without looking to the right or
left, stepped into the gutter, picked up'
the hook in her dainty, gloved fingers,
and handed it to the man with apleas
aui ouiiici 1110 iuici3 iva/acu at cavu
other and at the fair young woman.
The eld truckman, in a violent effort
to express his thanks politely, lost his
hat. This was almost too much for
any woman, young or past young, but
this New York girl was equal to the
occasion. Into the gutter she stepped
again and got the soiled hat. When
she handed it to the truckman a- happy
smile played about her lips. "God
bless ye, Miss," the old man said, as
the fair maiden turned her back on
(he idlers, and went her way.
Moral Courage.
That was a noble reply when the
Sultan of Turkey offered Kossuth
wealth and power if he would embrace
the Moslem faith : "Welcome, if need
be, the ax or the gibbet; but curses on
the tongue that dares to make me so
infamous a proposal!" He was a refugee
in the domains of the Sultan, and
to rofiiHA nnmnlianfifl with his wishes
might be death; hut the great Hungarian
had resolved that come what
might, his conscience should be free.
The words of Zwingle, when emolument
was offered him if he would .adhere
to the Komish tenets, were as noble
: "Do you think that for any money
I will suppress a single syllable of
the truth."?Ex.

Omaha World,
Keep forever in view the momentous
value of life ; aim at its worthiest use,
its sublimest end; spurn with disdain
those foolish trifles and frivolous vani- ~ /
ties which so often consume life as the
locusts did Egypt; and devote yourself ,
with the ardor of a passion, to attain >
the most divine improvements of the
human soul. In short, hold yourself
in preparation to make the transition
to another life, whenever you shall be
claimed by the Lord of the world.

Beware lest iu a moment of weakness
and folly, and sinful forgetfulness
of God, you sell your birthright and
barter your happy innocence for tor
ment, and fear, and shame. ?seware
of idle moments. Beware of the beginnings
of evil. Above all, and more
than all, beware lest you once admit
the fatal intrusion of evil thoughts.
In solemn and awful earnest I would
say to you, watch and pray lest ye en
ter into temptation.

"You must wait," say they, "and we
will show you some day what we can
do." "Now is your chance," we
would say to you. "You are old
enough now, and you will never have
a better time. Better begin now."
Parents, and those who have the
charge of youth, should impress on
their minds an abhorrence of war.
The causes, the sinfulness, and the
misery of war should be explaiued to
them, and they should be trained up
with the love of man and the love of
peace.? William Cogswell.
