Falling down stairs witl a stove on top of you is nothing to be com pared to it in point of excitement. Th< name of the paper was The Review, and i was started to nil a long felt want. Jern Cochrane was my partner. There wer< several very comforting things on that pa per. For instance, Jerry and I alway: knew on Monday that we would not hav< enough money to pay the handaoff on Sat urday, and we never did. Tho hands knev it. too. so their nerves were never sljdcket by a disappointment. We ran that^v*av foi awhile, getting more deeply in dpbt all tht time. At last, one morning I .Entered th< office and fou nd Jerry look i ng rather solem n ly. "Jerry," says I, "you wftnt a partner.' "Yes we need a new orye," he rejoined "A business man," said 1/ "One with ex ecutive ability," Said hfe. "A financier,' I observed. "A man >vho can take hold oi things and turn then/into money," he con eluded. "Then I Jfave got the man yoi want," said I, And I introduced Fran! Hitchcock, the sheriff. Jerry said Fran! was the man he had been thinking of, so w< installed him at once. Sir, he proved to b( all we anticipated, and he ran the pape: with the greatest success until he had turn ed it entirely into money. When we wounc up the concern there was nothing but twe passes?one to Cincinnati and one to Bur lington. We divided them and went ir different directions.?JRodert J. Burdette. "All Kiverel Up."?Our backwood? "American cousin'' had come all the way tc Naples, and had never heard of Pompeii although he had heard tell of Venus. No tdcing that travelers all around him went k Pompeii, he considered it the correct thing fbr him to do. He had been here two weeks and had never put a single question aboul the city, so that wlien he arrived there, entering it by the marine gate, down whicli poured the commerce of Pompeii eighteer centuries ago, he/was all taken aback to set ruins of houses emerging from the strata 01 Sumice-stone aud ashes.

J?"Marital affection is a beautiful thing and every fresh exhibition of its tenderness affects us to tears. A wife?possibly an olc wife?on a certain occasion fell overboard The husband rushed frantically about the deck, literally tearing his hair out by the handful and crying in the most beseeching tones, "For heaven's sake, save her, save her; she is my wife!" The noble sailors thought of their own sweethearts and rar all risks, and at last brought the poor womar into the cabin of the swooning husband The look of gratitude he gave them fully repaid for all their efforts. Then recovering his equanimity he thrust his hand into hi: wife's wet pocket, pulled out a somewha plethoric purse, and with infinite relief said "Old woman, the next time you tumbh overboard just leave that purse behind, wil you?

His Expectations.?A Chicago mar who was induced to purchase a large interest in a hole in the ground, in Nevada, saic) to contain silver, went to Virginia City tc get some close idea of how matters stood, A professional mine inspector was called in, and after some talk he said : "My charges will be $50 per day, whethei I discover anything or not." "Suppose vou discover that half of this mine is worth $100,000?" "Then vou will Drobablv present me with $500."

The Circuit c Court shall appoint, within each Judicial * District, such a number of commissioners in * bankruptcy as may be necessary, not exr ceeding in any State the number of mem bers of Congress to which the State is entil tied, each commissioner to give bond in the > sum of $5,000 for the faithful performance oi * his duties. He is to have all the powers oi 1 a master in chancery and may represent and act for a judge in holding meetings and conducting the business specially committed to 5 him. The Circuit Court shall also appoint a ) supervisor in bankruptcy for each Judicial > Circuit, who shall personally examine into the administration of all bankruptcy pro* ceedings in his circuit, call the attention ol * the commissioners, clerks and trustees to ; matters which would facilitate speedy and -1 economical settlement and move action against delinquent trustees. He shall visit 1 and inspect the office and business of every J commissioner and clerk in his circuit as ofI ten as once every six months and make a re* 1 1 r1' i J port to tne uircuu v^uuii. mc viom J compensation is fixed at three thousand dol lars a year. The commissioner's compensa ' tion is fixed at two thousand dollars a year The Court may, however, decree him a fur 5 ther allowance not exceeding ten dollars for f each case instituted before him during the 1 year, but not more than one thousand dollars in any one year. Supervisors and com' missioners may be allowed a reasonable sum 3 for disbursements, all items to be verified by ? oath. Every party petitioning for bank1 ruptcy, whether debtor or creditor, shall pay to the clerk of the court fifty dollars, and every trustee shall pay one per cent, ol ! the gross amount realized from the assets. | and every debtor making composition snau pay one-half of one per cent, on the amount 1 of such composition. These fees are all to I be paid by the clerk into the treasury of the ; United States. Any person owing debts ex> ceeding three hundred dollars and unable tc j pay may, by petition, apply to be adjudica. ted a bankrupt, and the filing of such petix tion shall be deemed an act of bankruptcy. Any person owing debts exceeding one thou'7 sand dollars, who leaves his State to avoid r his creditors, or conceals himself to avoid ' arrest or service of legal process, or makes a [ fraudulent transfer of his property or sus. pends payment of his commercial paper 01 ^ open accounts for thirty days after the same j are due and payable, or who makes fraudulent preference, shall be deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy and may be adjudged a bankrupt on the petition ol j three or more of his creditors, whose bills would amount in all to five hundred dollars, The bill excepts and exempts in 1. vor of a bankrupt the necessary and proper wearing r apparel of himself and family and such oth' er property as may be exempted from at3 tachmentby the laws of the United States or of the State in which bankruptcy pro \ ceecnngs are insiiiuieu, auu uiu wun nmj from the assets allow a sum not to exceed I five hundred dollars for his support pending [ proceedings, if his circumstances require it, reasonable wages for any service rendered ; his estate at the request of his trustees, and the usual fees when attending as a witness. I It is intimated that the bill will be defeat, ed in the House, as the majority of members, representing country constituencies, will vote against the bill, from fear that it i would inure more to the benefit ot lawyers . and officials than to debtors and creditors. 1 The present bill, however, seems to be much > more carefully framed, in the matter of ex, penses, than the former law. It appears to , be a well-considered measure. The Cowboy of Florida.?Visiting the stores for the sake of provisioning the > craft, the principal business of Fort Myers was at once discernible from the array of i saddles and bridles exhibited. Around this point and from many a prairie aud jun! gle in the neighborhood cattle are brought ! in for shipment to Punta Rassa, to be sent from thence to Key West and Cuba. A > erood many gaunt lads, lounging about in ; high boots, with jingling spurs, showed the peculiarities of their calling, for they were the cowboys of this region. I doubt 5 whether the cowboy of the West is recruit ed entirely from the country where he herds J or drives his cattle, but the Floridan cowboy is indigenous to the soil. Hard work and ' plenty of it, at times with poor food; a debilitating climate and many musquitos s have made them fleshless. Driving cattle in the West is certainly no child's play, but in this portion the task must be a particu1 larly difficult one from the nature of the country. To scamper at full speed across ; the country in quest of a "bunch" of cattle T must endanger their necks. Through the > palmetto cabbages, through the thick tan' gle of vines, across the boggy flats, driving into the pine thickets, the soil burrowed by the gophers, the cattle hunter spurs his > horse. Perhaps it is the mount which ! ought to be as much pitied as any of the ! animals, the horse, the boy, or the bull. > Western horses barely stand the hard work, - and are used up in a season. Anything ' like a high-legged animal comes to grief in very short order. The horse wanted for t work is the small, scrubby animal born and > bred in Florida. He seems to be capable J of withstanding any amount of hard seri vice. Certainly, the Florida cattle of this section are the poorest specimens of the bovine race known. They present, save I about their legs, few traces of merit. Hav' ing not much weight to carry, their speed p is for a short burst enough to blow a horse.

I glean a few particulars of a funicular railway which connects Territet (Chillon) and Gilion. The | railway, which is on a steep incline, some') thing after the style of the one up Mount Vesuvius, commences at an angle of 32 deJ grees and soon increases to 57 degrees. It I is a single line, with a loop as a passing t place half way. There are two carriages on I the line, one of which ascends while the [. other descends. The ascending carriage is drawn by the force of gravity of the one which is descending, the latter being weighted by a reservoir placed underneath 5 being filled with, water. The reservoir is ? emptied as soon as the carriage has made [ the decent. The two vehicles are connected f with each other by means of a wire cable, ? which passes over a wheel at the summit ol the incline. By the passenger a remarka' ble optical illusion is experienced. Trees, ; huts, houses, rocks all seem to be bent back, oc- +v,mifrh hv snmfi enchantment. They arc - cao muub.? 4 apparently standing out of the perpendicular, and one can scarcely help wondering that they do not topple over. The decepi tion is due to the seats of the carriages, r which are constructed at such an angle that, 1 notwithstanding the steepness of the gradit ent, the occupant preserves his ordinary , upright sitting posture. The line is 743 - yards long, and the difference between the ' level of its base and that of its summit is l 984 feet," I Do You Doubt It??Mr. Frank Nolen, G8 Jefferson Place, Baltimore, heard sc i much of Norman's Neutralizing Cordial - that he purchased bottle for himself and r another to send to his family. He has nevi er had cause to regret his purchase. Readr er, if you doubt the efficacy of Norman's - Cordial, try a small bottle.

Some persons 1 , spread tnem out before the public. Others ' cannnot hide them, or do not try to do so, r ' and the world knows all about them. The o mourners go about the streets. Thousands a 3 of faces are written all over with their sto- 0 5 ries of sadfiess, so that he who runs may r read. The crape on the door, the funeral 0 ! procession, the falling tears?these and many c other signs of woe are so plain that there is v " no mistaking them. They are powerful ap- t r peals to sympathy, and, to the honor of hu- s I manity let it bespoken, they quicken 1 he 'l . spirit of friendliness in uncounted hearts. : I But there are sorrows that never show . themselves. As keen and sore as any that d 1 pass under the public eye, they yet hide s themselves away, eating their way more t deeply into the hearts of those who endure " . them, and hurrying on the end that is in the . direction of them all. Sometimes they are ? not even suspected. Externally all is peace, the school of life having taught the lesson of 1 perfect self-control. Even gaiety often so , deceives society by its smile and laugh that it thinks of a perennial spring of joy where 8 | there is only a festering sore and rankling ; pain. Sometimes it is partly seen, but in a j. the most imperfect manner. What is visi- ^ ble is only a suggestion. The real trial is ^ ; out of sight. , This hiddenness is often inevitable and u unavoidable. There may not be friends to ti go to, or if there are the troubles are of such si ! character that they cannot be explained. , ' " - - ' 1 -1 --5At- AU!? C , The secrecy 01 me is Durueneu wnn uu? ? kind of misfortune. A holy thing in itself, ? , and bringing, too, in its usual exercise, many of the pleasures that are most desirable, it carries with it the necessity of pain j that cannot go outside of itself for human ' relief. Very often, on the other hand, it is . permitted to continue, either through a . false pride or in loyalty to an affection that , shrinks from an exposure of the object of its . devotion. There are wives who see with , awful anguish the beginnings and progress of a fatal habit in their husbands, but never i permit it to be known. While they are en. vied for their apparent stores of happiness, , they are trembling under the severity of . their misery. Mothers hide away the sins , of their children; children seek to cover , the infirmities of their parents; friends . strive to shelter the reputation of their . friends, and in them all there is grief, un[ seen and perhaps not conceived, that is turning their joy into bitterness. In many - of these cases it would be a relief to tell it out and get the help that would so readily : be given. The needless hiding is part of the pain. That this is not clone, however, , should not be too severely blamed, for there . is something heroic after all in the spirit ' that determines to fight out its battles with> out assistance, and especially when it is . standing guard over the waning good name . of one who is beloved. It is the privlege of all, and a happy one . too, to carry their troubles to the Lord. He [ is the burden-bearer, upon whom every one [ can lay his load. What is kept hidden from t earth is made open to heaven. The sorrow . never mentioned even to the nearest earthly associate is constantly told in the ear of the > Heavenly Father. That par is ever open . to the cry of the distressed. The suffering ? that no human hand is trying to alleviate, r because the existence of it is not known, is f receiving the healing touch of him who lias ; the pity of a father, and if it do not entirely , remove the sore it will so far mitigate its i pain that the sufferer will not be tried with r more than he can bear. There would be ! many a broken heart that now is only . heavily subdued, if it were notthatthe pains i which to human ears must remain unspo. ken can be so confidingly told to Iiim who ' says to us all, "Come unto me all ye that la- I bor and are heavy laden, and I will give ; you rest."? United Presbyterian. I THE INWARD AND THE OUTWARD. True religion does not consist only in out- } ward works. It has its beginning and home in the believing mind and renewed heart, p The kingdom of God is within his people. They are temples of the Holy Ghost. He ; dwells in them, gives them divine life, c 1 adorns them with his gifts and graces, and ti when the gospel is established within us we c are to seek to impart it to others. Just in c proportion to our indwelling and vital pie- tf ty will be our ability and disposition to give and pray and labor for the good of others ^ and for the glory of God. Moreover our ii Christian activity will tend to strengthen b and develop our personal religion, provided v we are humble and nraverful and replenish 1 our souls with spiritualfood. v A proper amount of labor and healthful gj exercise will tend to strengthen the body, i But toil and exertion will weaken and waste ; our natural strength unless appropriate food and suitable care be given to the oody. p In like manner the greater and more varied e our Christian activities are, the more do we F need to have our own hearts refreshed and 11 - our graces quickened by the Scriptures, de- .. vout meditation, and earnest communion 1 with God in prayer. Unless our individual ? piety is kept strong and healthful, very soon our active efforts will begin to be feeble and unwisely directed, or possibly cease 1 altogether. We cannot continue to expend spiritual strength unless we are constantly receiving new supplies. A pious Quaker not long ago said: "We ; have been employing ourselves too much in 1 trying to build up a religion in our own souls, ; while we have been neglecting to endeavor 1 to impart it to others. The result is that we ; do not increase in numbers; we make no additions from the world's people." Is it not possible that the evangelical churches 1 have gone to the other extreme in these days? Is it not time to inquire whether, 1 while not doing any too much in Home and Foreign Missions to raise up the degraded, they may be doing too little in strengthening and nourishing individual piety? If this should be the case, the piety of the whole Church will soon descend to' a lower level and thus be less abb to give and toil for "those without." Here is a thought not to be lightly dismissed. 1 Evidently there should not be less giving and working and praying lor the salvation of others; hut ought there not to be more time and care devoted to the increase of our personal piety and more thoroughness in religious experience and character? Ought | not our households to have more of the : spirit of Christ in them ? A higher standard of religion in each one and in the churches is imperatively demanded if we ? would be joyous in God and strong in the " power of his might, and if our great schemes of Christian benevolence are to continue to enlarge in extent and grow in power. We _ may rest assured that if the Church is to have outward strength, it must have inwa rd might?the two must go together.?Presoy- i terian Banner. ' 1? ? Sunshine at Home.?Many a child goes ; astray, not because there is a want at home, but simply because home lacks sunshine. A child needs smiles as much as the flowers | need sunbeams. Children look little beycnd 1 the present moment. If a thing pleases ; they are apt to seek it; if it displeases, they are apt to avoid it. ' If home is a place where faces are sour, and words harsh, and faultj finding ever in the ascendant, they will ! spend as many hours as possible elsewhere. KB0- Let us make a note of this, as a point ; of spiritual wisdom, never to restrain an r impulse to pray.

Your mo9t valuable medicine (Swift's Specific) has done me so much good that I feel like saying this for the benefit of those who sutler like I did. I was poisoned by poison oak, and saw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific. In the six years I used almost svery kind of medicine, but none had the desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Specific I am restored to perfect health?with not a sign of that awful poison left Yours Truly, DAVID NESBITT. POISON OAK. I had for thirty-eight years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak, which I contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried every thing for it, including many physicians, but without any benefit. I took "six"bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) four years ago, it cured me sound and well. Three summers have passed, and I have had no return of it. Joseph Beasley, Columbus, (4a. Remarkable Results. I have had remarkable success with Swift's Specific; have cured several cases permanently in a very short time. One case which I am now treating was given up to die, and after using three bottles is so far recovered that I think one more bottle will cure her. The most remarkable case of all was a lady with medulary cancer of the womb, for whom I had no hope whatever. After usingone bottle I am satisfied she will soon be cured. J. WYLIE QUILLIAN, M.
