"Yes, only twelve dollars," she humbly replied. "Twelve dollars for a bonnet is a confounded outrage, and I know it!" he went on. "Why, I can buy two fine silk hats for that money, and have strawberry change left. It's a dead swindle to ask three dollars for a bonnet." "Well, I can't do any better, Mr. Slick. That's the nrice. and I must Da? or go with out." "You don't know how to buy?that's what ails you," he growled. "I'll bet money I can buy a twelve dollar bonnet for eight dollars. It's all in knowing how to handle the salesmen." , "I wish you'd try it," she suggested. "I will?by George! I will! I'll bring you up a new bonnet in the morning, and I'll get it four dollars cheaper than you dare to!" Mr. Slick was as good as his word. He went into a millinery store next forenoon with his eye-teeth all sharpened, and with the idea in his mind that every bonnet in the store was priced at exactly twelve dollars. He looked around a little, selected a bonnet that pleased him, and pointing his cane at it, and calling up his deepest voice, he inquired: "Are you asking twelve dollars for that bonnet?" The woman flushed, looked from the bonnet to the man, and was trying to reply, when he said: "These are not the times for outrageous prices, and all buyers realize it I'll give you eight dollars for that bonnet, and not a cent more." "That?that bonnet?" "Eight dollars, and no more!" he interrupted ; and she put the article in a box, and took his money. "What'd I tell my wife, eh ?" he whispered, as he went out "I tell you it takes a man to buy goods, no matter whether it's fence-posts or paper cambric!" When he sat down at home and took the cover off the box and held up the bonnet, Mrs. Slick inquired: "How much did she charge you ?" "Eight dollars, madam; while you would have paid twelve!" "Richard !" she said, as she tried to laugh all over at once, "I was with the lady next door when she ordered that bonnet for her cook, and the price was to be four dollars! Yon see, it?"

Keeping Boarders.?"Another boarding-house busted up, I see," sighed a venerable Detroit landlady, as she laid down her paper. ^ "Well, it must have been extravagance on the table. That's what bankrupts seven out of ten, and even then the boarders are crying 'hash !' and complaining of poor meals. Now I run a boarding house for twenty-two years, and I made money and heard no complaints. How did I do it? Why, it's all in planning. For instance, a neckpiece of mutton can be cut to look like a rib roast, and a little extra fire makes it just as tender. Lawd save you! I've been complimented a thousand times on my selection of choice spring lamb when the meat was mutton four years old, and the toughest parts at that! The idea of spring chicken on a boarding-house table is absurd?aye! almost wicked. In my palmy days I could take a * * ' ? *1 M il. tough old hen, pound the Doay wnn me potato masher for ten minutes, and set before my boarders a feast to make every heart glad. Now I'll venture that there aren't ten landladies in the city that can bake a pig's head and slice off the meat in a manner to make everybody believe that he has the choicest cut in a pig's body, and it's a wonder to me that there aren't more failures. Lots of landladies buy nice, fresh butter, and thus tempt a man to eat five or six biscuits, or half a loaf of bread. What economy! I always had my nice butter on the table at breakfast, when we had but little toast, and the boarders got along on old butter the other two meals. It is all in the planning. I used to have beefsteak every morning. Three mornings in the week I bought sirloin, which is very nice, you know, and the other four mornings I bought neck-pieces and rubbed the case-knives over the grindstone. Give a boarder a sharp kuife and a tough steak, and he'll never make a complaint?never. He'll put the blame on his teeth, and the more steak he leaves on his plate the more rabbit pie you have for dinner."?Detroit Free Dress. A Corkscrew Wanted.?There is always some one on the train to make people feel happy. For instance, there was a gentleman who had a bottle of home-made wine, and he couldn't get the cork out. We have never seen a man in distress but there were noble souls that would sacrifice themselves to assist him. One man offered his knife, and after the blade had been broken and left in the cork, he subsided. The conductor was appealed to, but he onlv asked what they took him for, and looked* offended. It was noticed that there was a bad crowd in the rear car, and so a boy, who desired to be a messenger, was given a little practice. He was told to go into the back car and find Senator Hide, and borrow his cork-screw. Senator Hide is a Methodist deacon, and he was seated by the side of a good Baptist lady, and they were talking of a prospective revival in the good work to which they had both enlisted for life. When very much interested in each other's remarks, the boy pulled the elbow of Senator Hide and said: "A gentleman in the other car wants to borrow your cork-screw." If an earthquake had quaked right there, if a Republican majority had exploded, if the adjoining fields through which the train was running, had opened and swallowed up every man on the train that had a pass, Elder Hide could not have appeared more thunderstruck. The smile that is stereotyped on his face, and which so nearly resembles that of Colfax, broke out in a new spot, and looked as though it was sick, and though he attempted to explain to the truly good lady that it was a joke, she looked pained, as though she had lost all confidence in men. Elder Hide got up and called the boy out on the platform, and what he did is not known, ' though it is rumored that the section hands found a bob-tailed boy's coat on the track, and a number of trinkets usually carried by boys. And there was one boy less applying for a position this year.?Peck's Sun. J5ST* The train pulled out. A young man rushed breathlessly in. The Oil City Derrick tells the re9t of it: "Got left did you ?" "Well, ain't I here?" he responded. Then one said he could go across the bridge and catch it, another told him when the next train would go, and made various suggestions. The chap looked at the disappearing train a few moments, when somebody asked, "Where were you goiDg?'' Then the wicked fellow said : "0 ! I wasn't going on it, but there was a fellow on the train to whom I promised to pay a bill." Tableau. JSf A popular doctor of Utica, N. Y., while escorting a lady home the other evening, attempted to relieve her cough and sore throat by giving her a troche. He told her to allow it to dissolve gradually in her mouth. No relief was experienced, and the doctor felt quite chagrined the next day when the lady sent him a pantaloon buttoD, with a note, saying he must have given her the wrong kind of a troche, and might need this one. Waiters.?A guest at one of the fashionable hotels took his seat at the dinner-table; one day last week, but no one appearing to j wait upon him, he remarked, "Have they any waiters in this hotel?" "Yes," responded a wag on .the opposite side of the table, "the boarders are the waiters." j ?be and preside. MILKING. One would think that the above subject is sufficiently well understood at the present time without any further instructions with reference to it, but never was there a greater mistake made. Hundreds of dairymen begin to complain that their cows are drying up early while they have good feed and plenty of it. We were talking with one of the leading dairymen with reference to the matter, the i other day, and his opinion coincided with ours in this respect, and he claimed that more cows were spoiled by being improperly handled than by poor food. To get the greatest yield of milk the cows should be milked regularly, quietly and thoroughly, yet quickly. Generally speaking, twice a day is often enough, but there are cases when it becomes necessary to milk three times, but .Uaaa an>/inmriorativalv rftrp. AtSlX o'clock. tlicoo mo vuui^/MiMV? ? ?? - ? , morning and evening, is as near the right time, all things considered, as any. Milking should be done quietly, without any scolding or kicking or otherwise hurting or exciting the animal, and she will then habitually come gladly for the operation, stand quietly and let down her full flow. It should be doue thoroughly, as nearly as possible always by the same person. There is a great difference in milkers; some will get the last drop, while others will leave the richest part in the udder. It has been proved to the satisfaction of all good dairymen that the strippings will yield from ten to twenty per cent, more cream than the rest of the milk; how important it is, then, that the cow should be milked dry. Besides, if she is not made to yield all she has | daily, she will dry up sooner, and gradually fail in the quantity until it decreases perceptibly. Cows should never be hurriedly driven to and from the pasture, as it agitates and heats the milk, if before milking, and tends to make them wild after the milk has beeu drawn. We had an opportunity of seeing the results of a change in the management of cows on Pleasant View Farm a short time ago. The proprietor, Mr. Southworth, met with a severe accident, which confined him to the house for nearly a week, duriqg which time strangers were employed to attend the cows, and, although they were treated kindly, still it was different from their usual treatment, and the milk pail showed a much smaller yield, and the cows themselves became restless and refused to "give down" as formerly, although as before stated, they were treated with the greatest kindness and milked by experienced hands. But when he was able to come to the barn again the cows soon filled the pails as usual, and that, too, with no change of food.?Field and Farm. ? Teach Your Boys.?Teach them that a true lady may be found in calico quite as frequently as in velvet. Teach them that a common school education with common sense, is far better than a college education without it. Teach them that one good honest trade, well mastered, is worth a dozen beggarly "professions." Teach them that honesty is the best policy, that *tia better to be poor than to be rich on the profits of "crooked whiskey," etc., and point your precept by the examples of those whn are now sufFerinc the torments of the doomed. Teach them to respect their elders and themselves. Teach them that, as they expect to be men some day, they cannot too soon learn to protect the weak and helpless. Teach them that to wear patched clothes is no disgrace, hut to wear a black eye is. ' Teach them that God is no respecter of sex, and that when He gave the seventh commandment He meant it for them as well as for their sisters. Teach that by indulging their depraved appetites in the worst forms of dissipation, they are not fitting themselves to become the husbands of pure girls. Teach them that it is better to be an honest man seven days in the week than to be a Christian (?) one day and a villain six days. To Make Hens Lay.?Put two or more quarts of water in a kettle, and one large seed pepper or two small ones, then put the kettle over the fire. When the water boils stir in Indian meal until you have a thick mush. Let it cook an hour or so; feed hot. Horse radish chopped fine and stirred into mush as prepared in the above directions, and for results we are getting from five to ten eggs per day, whereas previous to feeding we had no eggs for a long time. We hear a good deal of complaint from other people about getting eggs. To such we would warmly recommend cooked feed, fed hot. Boiled apple skius, seasoned with red pepper, or boiled potatoes seasoned with horse radish are good for feed ; much better than uncooked food. Corn when fed to hens, by itself has a tendency to fatten, rather than produce the more profitable egg laying. A spoonful of sulphur stirred with their food occasionally will rid them of vermin and tone up their system. It is especially good for young chickens or turkeys. Out of a flock of ten hatched last November we have lost but one. They have been fed cooked food mostly and are growing finely.? Ohio Farmer. Facts About Flour.?Flour is peculiarly sensitive to the atmospheric influence, hence it should never be stored in a room with sour liquids, nor where onions or fish are kept, nor any article that taints the air of the room in which it is stored. Any smell perceptible to the sense will be absorbed by flour. Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free circulation of air cannot be obtained. Keep in a cool, dry, airy room, and not exposed to a freezing temperature nor to intense Summer, or ar tiflcal heat for any length of time above 70? 75? Fahr. It should not come in contact with grain or other substances which are liable to heat. Flour should be sifted and the particles thoroughly disintegrated and then warmed before baking. This treatment improves the color and baking properties of the dough. The sponge should be prepared for the oven as soon as the yeast has performed its mission, otherwise fermentation sets in and acidity results.?American Miller. For Weak Eyes.?Bathe the eyes in soft water that is sufficiently impregnated with spirits of camphor to be discernible to the smell?a teaspoouful of spirit of camphor to a tumbler-of water. For inflamed eyes use milk and charaphor, adding a little more of the camphor than above. An excellent lotion, commended by a leading Boston oculist, is a solution of ten grains of borax in the official "camphor water," (not the tincture of camphor.) This is safe and beneficial as an i application in any slight weakness or inflam! mation of the eyes due to exposure or weari: ness. In serious cases professional advice ! should always be taken. Cure for Sleeplessness.?Wet half a ' 1 . . .1 1 I f* Jl 1_ towel, apply it to tne Daca or me necs, pressing it upward toward the base of the brain and fasten the dry half of the towel over so as to prevent the too rapid exhalation. The effect is prompt and charming, cooling the brain and inducing calmer, sweeter sleep than any narcotic. Warm water may be used, though most persons will prefer it cold. To those suffering from over excitement of the! brain, whether the result of braiuwork or L pressing anxiety, this simple remedy is an ! especial boon. Worms in Horses.?A correspondent asks for a remedy for worms in horses. We i advise him to get powdered poplar bark,! two ounces; powdered sulphate, four ounces; | salt, three ounces. Mix well. Divide this mass into twelve parts, and mix one with , the food every night. If you cannot take your baby to the country, use Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup for the usual dis- i eases of early childhood.

The expression, "God's righteousness," occurs a number of times in the Scriptures, especially in the New Testament. It will be found in Matthew, '3:33; in Romans, 10:3, and in many other places. In the Greek New Testament there are three words very much alike in appearance, and of kindred signification ; but still they should not be confounded. The one used in the texts referred to above, is dikaiosicne, another is dikaioma, and the other dikaiosia. The first signifies righteousness in the abstract, and also signifies perfect conformity to law. The second signifies a single act of obedience to law; the last denotes the act of being justified on account of righteousness. The righteousness of God, then, can mean but one of two things in the passages of Scripture referred to. It means either that attribute of God which we call righteousness, or it means that which results from obedience to law. It must be evident that it does not mean, in those passages to which we have referred, the attribute of God, for it would be contrary to the whole tenor of the Scriptures. When we are commanded to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, it can not be meant that we are to seek that attribute of God which we cajl righteousness. Nor can we believe that it is the attribute of Deity that is meant, when it is said that the Jews "being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God." The structure of the sentence and its immediate context, forbids such a conclusion. It is readily admitted that the words, "God's righteousness," may mean, and often do mean, the divine attribute which we call righteousness. This is far from admitting that they never mean anything else. The meaning of the expression, "God's righteousness," iu the passages quoted, is that perfect conformity to law which God provided for the justification of sinners. It was this of which the Jews were ignorant. We dare not say that the Jews ever were so degraded that they did not know that one of the attributes of God is righteousness. More than this. It is impossible to conceive how any person could go about to establish an attribute of his own. If he could establish one attribute, why not another, and another, indefinitely? The righteousness of God lies at the very foundation of our justification. It will apl>ear to any reflecting mind, that no one can be justified without a righteousness. In human courts, such a thing is possible; but with God it is impossible. By justification, is meant, simply, that the individual whose acts have passed under review, has not been proven to violate law, and, consequently, is not guilty; that is, not liable to punishment. It is taken for granted that he has not violated the law, but has obeyed it. For the want of evidence, the violator of law may, nay often does, escape punishment, or is justified; while those who have not disobeyed the law are, on account of various defects, in all human tribunals, punished. Such things are not possible with God. He is Omniscient. All things, even the thoughts and intent of the heart, are well known to Him. This righteousness of God, which we are commanded to seek, is the ground of our justification. It is called God's righteousness, very properly, because he provided it. He sent his own son into the world to bring in an everlasting righteousness. It is called God's righteousness because the whole redemption scheme is, from beginning to end, of the triune God. The expression, "God's righteousness," denotes the perfect conformity which Jesus Christ rendered to the law of God. It is this obedience, and nothing else, which is the ground of our justification. It was this of which the Jews of old and many?fearfully many?of the present day, are grossly ignorant. In their ignorance they spend their lives, in vain attempts to establish their own righteousness. They have undertaken to work out a rightI omiannaa f\f thftir nwn wllip.ll will satisfy a holy God. They must fail. It is impossible for them to succeed. The obedience of Jesus Christ which, in the Scriptures, is called "God's righteousness," is received by faith. In the gospel of Christ, this fact is revealed, and the preacher of the gospel is commanded to make an offer of God's righteousness to every creature in all the world. Those who accept this righteousness are called believers, and those who either reject it or neglect it, are said to be going about to establish their own righteousness. Martin Luther says that justification by faith is the article of a standing or falling church. By this, he means that the chief corner stone in the church of the living God, is "God's righteousness," which is Christ's obedience to God's law. This obedience of Christ was absolutely vicatious; that is, it was for sinners. In the law room of sinners, Christ obeyed the law, and for the benefit of sinners lie obeyed it. Hence, Paul, with emphasis, says, Christ is "the end of law for righteousness to everyone that believeth." Christ is all in all. His righteousness is a perfect righteousness. All that accept it have all that God requires, in order to justification. The death of Christ takes away the guilt of sin, and his righteousness secures a title to heaven. In Christ the believer is complete. He lias everything that the law of God requires. All that is required of the sinner, in order to secure the pardon of his sins and a title to heaven, is faith ; and this is the gift of God. The believer is made fit for heaven by the sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that quickens into life the soul, dead in trespasses and sins. Hence, the whole of the sinner's salvation, from beginning to end, is of grace. God does all the "work and claims all the glory. In the providing of a redemption-price and righteousness, the triune God acts independent of the sinner; but in the sanctitication of the sinner, the sinner is a colaborer with the Holy Spirit. In the former, the sinner is required to do nothing; in the latter he is commanded to watch and pray. IIow We Build Churches.?Whether we build churches or cottages, barns or business blocks, the one thing needful for their final fitness and worth is a clear conception beforehand of the motive that calls them into being. It is well to show our faith by our works, but faith must lead the way, or the value of the works will be more than doubtful. Our ideas in regard to the safe and infallible road that will lead us at last into Heaven are not more confused and contradictory than are the notions we hold concerning the real object in building churches. Although in the former case "ltepent and believe," "Accept Jesus and follow Him," "Love God and our neighbor," "Cease to do evil, and learn to do well," are but different expressions of the same divine injunction, so simple that he who runs may read, yet diverse doctrines are noisily taught, and the "still, small voice" is rarely heard. Likewise we profess to build churches that I we may assemble ourselves together for prayer ! and praise and to hear the gospel preached, differing widely as to what the gospel may be, but quite agreed that it must be heard. We then set to work with mind, body, purse and credit to build marvelous temples and monuments of art. We delight in magnificent I domes, in grand perspectives, in artistic shadows, sculptures, symbols and hieroglyphics. 1 Unlike the quality of mercy, the light of! Heaven must be strained, and that through | imported glass, and if all the forms of wood and stone, are not, in the popular estimation, strictly gothic, then heresy is supposed to be rampant in the hearts pf the hearers. The i best reason that can be given for the existence of certain decorative features is that they are sacred to the memory of the man who paid for them, and who wishes to have all men speak J well of him as long, at least, as the church may stand. j 45 Years Before the Public. THE GENUINE DR. C. McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSFBPS1A AND SICK HBADACHB. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side., under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; - aL - 1 _/V J sometimes tne pain is in inc icu siue; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone: something which blight to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all wh? are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. beware of imitations. The genuine are never sugar coated.
