THE OLD HOMESTEAD. Ah, here it is, the dear old place, Unchanged through all these years ; IIow like some sweet, familiar face My childhood's home appears! The grand old trees behind the door Still spread their branches wide; | The river wanders as of yore, With sweetly running tide; i ( The distant hills look green and gay, s The flowers are blooming wild; And everything looks glad to-day, j \ As when I was a child. < Regardless how the years have flown, I 1 Half wonderinglv I stand, < I catch no loud, endearing tone, ; j I clasp no friendly hand ; ; } I think my mother's smile to ineer, i I list my father's call, i . I pause to"hear my brother's feet Come bounding through the hall; i < But silence all around me reigns, 11 A chill creeps through my heart; j j No trace of those I love remains, , Antl-ieare unbidden start. , What though the sunbeams fall as fair, j s What though the budding flowers 1 < Shed their fragrance on the air j Within life's golden hours; The loving ones that clustered here These walls may not restore; 5 Voices that fillecTmy youthful ear ] Will greet my soul no more, 1 And yet I quit the dear old place 1 With slow and lingering tread, ( As when we kiss a clay-cold face ( And leave it with the dead. j Itumowis fjrjiartmcnt. I "PEESNESS YHAS SHAKY." J A few days ago a clothing dealer in one of < the cities up the lake shore opened the door \ for a customer who laid a bundle on the ^ counter and began : j "Two months ago I bought this 'ere suit t of clothes of you." _ ( " ^ ai__ r> li. 1 G4- OM "Uxacuy, my iruimt, uuu it uuau ui . < "I bought it to bury my brother in.

I like to j oblige, but peesness vhas too shaky." j Correcting a Mistake.?A Chicago I bridge tender, who had swung open his s portcullis to allow a schooner to pass up the s river, was warmly and violently assailed 1 by the captain of the craft for some slight < inattention to duty a few days previous. "If I had you down on the deck of this t vessel I'd break your neck," said the skip- t per, shaking his fist like a small ham. "Yer would, would ye, yer chuckleheaded salt-horse? If yer was wanst on the plankin' of the bridge I'd mop the flure with the ugly carcass an' hang yer up ter ( dry on the truss." t "Shut up, you animated slush bucket. For two brass pins I'd send my cabin boy ( t... fianrl loi*\- hrtnrc with VOllT roniflillS. .1 up tW UICVI1V1J * V^.j if 1 v>? ^ ? f you chop-snooted son-of-a-guh." "Arran ye bandy-leggeu horse marine, I've a big notion ter drop down off uv the bridge an' maul ye ter a pulp." "Well why don't you arop," sneered the captain. "Just drop and I'll feed fishes with you." "Yer a lyn' skip-jack." "You're a red-nosed scavenger with blue mold and cock eye. I'm going to tie up just above here and I'll give you a lively old interview when I get ashore." "Is it tie up yer goin' ter be after doin' ?" inquired the bridge tender, anxiously. That's just what I am going to do, cap." "Correct melud. When yer have tied up yer schooner, come oop here an' we'll take in the larger beer saloon jist ferminst aste ind uv the bridge. Perhaps I've made a mistake." "All right, my hearty. Mebbe I, too was a little quick. I'll be there, because when I drink I always aim to do it with gentlemen." "An' its a gentleman yer is, cap." A Change of Tactics?He had taken three terms of the gymnaseum, and could "muscle a twenty-five pound weight, turn a handspring, knock a sand-bag Wind and box the Professor all over the room. More than one pupil had sighed for his skill and remarked that the man who tackled him would be mashed into a pulp in a minute. Yesterday morning he was coming up nowara street iun 01 me ami vigui, w ncu he came across an express wagon with a 1 wheel off. He made some inquiries and ] received curt replies. This led him to remark : 1 "Young man, some one will cuff your ears ( some day." "But it won't be you !" 1 "Don't be too sure of that!" } "Maybe you'd like to begin now?" said j the young man as he quit his work and k stepped to the walk. ( v "I think I can cuff some manners into ! you," replied the other, as he reached out 1 to begin. ( The young fellow's right arm gyrated ' around for ten seconds, and then his fist ' shot out and landed on the citizen's nose like a kick from a colt. He was going to ' follow It up, but before he could spit on ! his hands again the other man started off at the rate of twelve miles an hour, and turned the first corner like a streak of light. I-iater in the day he explained to an inquirer : J "I see now where I have wasted a year's < time and $100 in money. I havn't got the 1 grit to fight. I shall now quit boxing and ( go into training as a runner."?Detroit Free j!

J no man knows how to endure the agonies of ' thirst better than I do." "I remember the time well," he continued retrospectively. "I was on a fishing 1 excursion and became lost in the woods. 1 For three days not a drop passed my lips. < My lengthened absence finally caused alarm, and a party was sent out in search of me. ] They found me lying in an unconscious con- < dition on the bank of a little trout stream, 1 and it was hours before any hopes of saving ] me were entertained." < "Was the trout stream dry ?" asked one j f of the interested listeners. I \ "Dry ? Certainly not. How could I catch 1 fish if the stream was dry ?" i < "Well, I don't see how you could suffer j 1 from thirst with a stream of water close at 1 hand." ] "Water close at hand !" repeated the Ken-;' tucky Colonel.

Is comment necessary ??Fairfiei Xer*. Heading for tbe JNMi.; >F CONDUCTED BY KEV. ROBERT LATHAN. e" [Originnl. | PRIVILEGES AND DUTIES. r. The impression is wide-spread and has i s- many practical advocates, that God grants 1 ?: us a multitude of privileges, but imposes { ti- upon us but few duties. Rarely do the mass < ^ of those who claim to be followers of Jesus J Christ associate privileges and duties to- , gether in the way thatGod has linked thorn. c >e A duty is something thatGod demands of j ig us, and a privilege is something thatGod j grants us; but there are numerically no more x ^ privileges granted than there are duties irnv. posed. This may be stated thus. Every .? 1*0 duty is a privilege, and every privilege is a 1 o- duty. If this be true, our privileges are nu- j 1> merically no greater than our duties, and j ^ many things which we are accustomed to l Regard as privileges are sinful because they j, e are not duties. ; yr It would be impossible to make out a list ' ly of duties in a short article?perhaps absolutely impossible, but a sufficient number lJ may be mentioned to test the correctness of l1 the above statement. The great duty which jl may be said to include all demands which h God makes of us, is obedience to his re- J if vealed will. No one will deny that it is the r- duty of all men to obey God in all things, i ie Now, is it not a great privilege to obey God ? ig To obey, considered as a duty, is better than 1 e- sacrifice, and, considered as a privilege, it 1 ct is the source of all bliss, or rather, it is the ( a- sum and substance of all bliss, a- God commands all men everywhere to beie lieve in the Lord Jesus Christ. Such being l d the case, it is the duty of all men to believe a in in the Lord .Tesus Christ. Men may refuse ) r, to believe in Jesus Christ, but God grants no .l e- man the privilege to reject Jesus Christ. In { it this instance the duty which God imposes i n is also a privilege. No sane man will deny f re this statement. It is the duty of all men to I it repent, because God commands all men, ev- :l i- ery where, to repent. Surely every one will ) " admit that it is the duty of all those who j 10 have transgressed God's law to break off ,, e- their sins by righteousness, and their iniqui- r ct ties by turning unto the Lord, and surely no c- one will deny that God bestows upon the I ?r sinner a great favor when he grants him the ' 3f privilege of repenting. ( r- In a practical point of view, the principle , y stated above is of great importance. We l- reason incorrectly when we conclude that a a to thing may be a privilege bestowed but not a a d duty imposed. If God has not commanded i ?y a thing and thus made it a duty, it cannot s y be regarded as a privilege. In other words } is a thing must be imposed as a duty before it r le can be regarded as being bestowed as a priv- a 1. ilege. The charter of our privileges is the r e- command of God which imposes our duties. ? n A strange notion seems to have taken 8 y hold of the multitudeof the human family, le that they have the right and privilege to J believe and do just as they please. Such an j idea is as foolish as it is wicked. It is fool- a ish, because it contradicts all experienceand ts observation, and it is wicked, because it * i- robs God of his authority and is in open con- * io fiiot with every revelation which God has r- made of himself in his word or works. The r- sum of all our duties is expressed by the 2, words *'obey the voice of the Lord your ? >n God." And to obey the voice of the Lord ts our God is all the privilege which God has t>- given any of us. "t is * ??? t [Original.] a et DOOMED. s js From present prospects, it appears that 1 IT llltJ rdgll U1 lilC l/yiillll, umartj'y in /untily ca, is (loomed soon to come to an end. For ^ i- years, good men of every class in society \ 3, have been laboring hard to effect his over- s > throw. It' has been a hard fight against ii af fearful odds, and frequently under most (lis- ? 1, couraging circumstances. But the enemy ^ >f has been driven from behind his breast- | if works and out of his ditches, and the prosd pects of his final discomfiture are certainly n i- favorable. The next conflict will be be- v tvveen the combined forces of both sides. < ;o It will, in all probability, be a fierce conflict. 0 jr The end to be gained is worth ail the toil " n and labor that have been endured, and may yet be endured. Let the friends of good j, order, of decency, of morality, and of re- t ligion, stand firm and the tyrant whisky will, in a few years, be banished from our K o country. Let* Christians of every name 11 stand, in this conflict, shoulder to shoulder, " ,s and tlie victory is certain. Angels watch v the contest with intense interest, and the tl ir emissaries of the wicked One are not idiie. so In this contest, God expects his professed s rs people to do their duty. jj il A Bad Legacy.?In 1847, when Brigham t; is Young led the first company of Mormons j, across the plains, they experienced great in- e it convenience on account of the scarcity of :e fuel. When Brigham returned to the /States " ie the next year he purchased large quantities '(j >r of sun flower seed and had it industriously i- distributed along the route of travel from 11 ie Iowa to Utah, so that future emigrants il might have the dry stalks for fuel. But the il is sun-flower long neglected and being year by . el year t' i- 3 3 "Born to blush unseen f ie And waste its fragrance on the desert air," r i- degenerated to a wild and wicked weed. It f y is now the greatest pest that the Nebraska 1 le and Colorado farmer has to contend against. " Whole fields of grain are hopelessly smothered by these wild sun-flowers which grow . thick and fast wherever they can get root. 1 * They are a fit emblem of polygamy, which is a blight, a withering curse on civilization s" wherever found. Ten thousand execrations ie and curses are heaped upon Brigham Young ss for his instrumentality in entailing upon the farmers of the far West. But how much more execrable should his memory be [)" for the part he has borne in fastening* the s" untold evils of the last relic of barbarism ' .{upon the innocent and helpless who have tJj fallen under his rapacious and remorseless power. fSST A prominentdeader of the atheistical 'd party in Denmark, Prof. Hugaway, of Cote ; penhagen, gives this account of his late con- j ;e | version to Christianity : in ' Sincerely convinced of the splendors of science, I thought to have found once for :y ; all a port of safety. That illusion I have iy lost. For when the storm came and my - conscience was enveloped in grief, the solid id ties of science were snapped like thread. It it was then that I laid hold of the succoring in i hand which so many had grasped before ; ie | me. I sought and found peace, through ; id | faith in (iod. Since then without renounc-: in ' ing science, I have assigned it to another ! ;t. ; place in life. When all grew dark, and : a-1 hope seemed extinguished, there remained, ic | as I was firmly convinced, but one resource |?the Christian laith in au its simplicity, i j Happy the man who does not tarry until | too late, but while there is yet time casts s: ] anchor in the ground that cannot be moved ! .11 I - ?h ! Jesus Wait ed.?Enthusiasm burns to go e- j out on its mission and frets at delay, blamg, j ing itself if a moment appears to be lost. ie ; Hut Jesus learned at Nazareth to wait his >n Father's time. Till "his hour was come" or he could control his longings, and wait for a- ; the divine sanction, in obscurity so com:y | plete that even Nathaniel, at Cana, only a ,y ! few miles off, had never heard of Jesus till :h ! his public ministry had begun, and his feli 1 low-townsmen had no suspicion of his being ie more than Jesus the carpenter.?Geikie. 86?"Men in their imaginations are apt to I 1 suppose others to possess the same feelings j It as themselves, especially if those feelings j b- are of an unkind character. Many of t he j f-! faults we find in others would disappear, J x- if our own hearts were made right, and we ! _ or ceased to judge them by ourselves. There is dew in one flower and not in j > 1-1 another, because one opens itself and takes | a r- i in, while the other closes itself and the drop i it runs off. So God rains goodness and mercy \ of as wide as the dew, and, if we lack them, it i2 is because we will not open our hearts to p rs receive them. | ti t- ? ? !

In 1878 I was the victim of a terrible Blood Poison, srd after being treated by three physicians, was confined to my bed, not able to raise my hand to my j head, spitting tip clots of blood, and reduced in tveicht from 185 to 130 pounds. I then began the j use of Swift's Specific, arid in less than three months i 1 was entirely well, weighed 196, and have never had j a symptom of the disease since. If it had not been for Swift's Specific I believe I would have been in | iny grave. JOHN V. BISHOP. We have for twelve months been prescribing Swift's Specific in the treatment of the diseases for which it is recommended, and have not been disappointed in a single instance. We think, for all diseases it is recommended to cure, it stands without a peer, and that the medical profession will sooner or later be forced to acknowledge it, in the treatment of Blood Diseases, a sine <ma non.
