Letter From GreeceAtiikns,
Gukkck, May 23, 'J2.
1 am nearly to the end of my trip
atul will be homo soon. It has boon
a very interesting and instructive
tour, and 1 only wish all my American
friends could see how the people
of other lands live. My feet havo
trodden many places of liolv mound
v " ?
-- especially in Palestine ? I felt it i
most in the following places: Around
the City of Jerusalem, when in the >
Garden of Gethsomano, a little ways
outside the city walls, near the foot
of Alt. of Olives, and when I stood ;
on Alt. of Olives and saw how beautiful
Jerusalem looked from there I \
thoght no wonder thnt Jesus wept!
over her. There are three paths
leading over the mountain to the lit
tie village of Bethany where Jesus j
~ ; no doubt spoilt many nights with
his friends after a hard day in Jerusalem
and as 1 looked on these
paths or walked on them about sunsot,
my mind went oaek nearly 1,
U0O years and pictured the Saviour
going over these paths and on ono
of them I could picture the scene of
his entry into Jerusalem the day the
multitude throw palms in his way
and wanted to crown hint. In Beth
lohem where the spot of his birth is
shown, 1 broke down and could not
restrain the tears when 1 thought
here was the birth place of my dear
Lord, as 1 believe that is one of the'
spots that is true. 1 also enjoyed
lunching on the shepherds plain
who.c "the shepherds were feeding J
their ilocks by night, etc/' I loved
quiet little; Bethany that looked
like such a quiet place to rest over
behind the mountain out of hearing
of the noisy city. And as 1 rode
through the mountain desert of J udea
there was constantly ringing in my
cars, "in those days came John the
Baptist preaching in the wilderness,
etc." And when 1 reached the river
Jordan at tlie very ford where Jesus I
was probably baptized, the picture
of his going down into the water was
clearly before me. Plenty of water
there for immersion, and the current
was so swift I could not swim across
it. or was afraid to and turned back i
before reaching opposite shore,
though the river is only about 100
feet wide there. The Old Testimont
places that impressed mo most wore, I
Bethel, Shiloh, and Shcchem. 1
' i
loved and enjoyed Nazraroth, where
we spent a day: As 1 thought of
mv Saviour's boyhood and early
manhood life there, and as I climbed i
the hills around it I thought how j
often he had climbed thorn, and as I
drank at tho great fountain, where
all the town gets its water and whore
a constant, stream of women are coming
and going with their water jugs; j
t thought how often lie had drank J
t the same fountain. 1 passed
(Janu of Galilee, where lie performed
his first miracle, and drank of the
fountain where no'doubt tho water)
came from that was turned into wine.
I sat beside Jacob's well until tho
balance of party bad left, and,
thought of Jesus' conversation there,
with the woman of Samaria. I
looked one way at tho little vilago
where the woman lived, and another,
way on Alt. Gerizim, whore sho said
hor fathers worshipped. I ascended
the Mt. of Beatitudes and rested
there while one of our party read
r<-''ie sermon on the mount, on the|
,3pot it is said to have been delivered.
Three of us went on the) highest j
point in old Bethel, on the flat roof
of a house and sang "Nearer my
God to Thee." And how I did enjoy
a day and a half spent' on and
around the Sea of GalPcc* 1 took
two boat rides and launched in the
ruins of old Capernaum and thought
of the curso promised by our Saviour
when he said "thou Capernaum
t shalt be brought down to hell."

They worn about the si?so of our

waters of the littlo sea or lake and

how suddenly a storm could toss

could not hiro them to row us over

thought some of us would freeze, and
it- was impossible to hold up our
umbrella and our horses could hardly
keep their feet. Wo could not
pitch our tents at night but our cots
in and sleep in. To my surprise
nobody was sick from it. The Palestine
trip is a pretty bard one, but
1 rode the same horse from begining
to finish ? Do not think any other

The Secrets of HealthNobody,
that is to say, hardly
anybody, on joys perfect physical
health. In order to make our state
m<?nt microscopically accurate, we, of
course, lay considerable emphasis on
the word perfect.
It is also true that nobody, that is
to say, hardly anybody, enjoys perfect
mental health. Our brains
wabble round in the cranium so loose
ly that nine people out of ten arc
cranks on some subjects or other.
The man who has a lirst class copper
fastened digestion; who can cat
a quarter section of mincc pie and
not play the role of Yesuvus; who
can smile at cheese and defy its atr
onizing tendecies; who is not thrown
into mortal terror by the sight of
late suppers, lias an advautago in
the struggle of life which his competitors,
boridtlen by night-mare and
made cross grained and querulous by
rheumatism and gout may well envy.
A rampagging dyspepsia makes us
as uncomfortable as a wasp does
when he buzzes about our nose. It
is a fiend who drags us into Hades
before our time. It colors our view
as literally as a pair of green spec
tacles Wo are handicapped in the
race for success as completely as the
little chroug bred with Daniel Lambert's
six hundred pounds curving
its spinal column.
It is much our duty, therefore; to
guard our bodies as our souls* as
important to take the requisite
anionnt of exorcise as to attend
church.
The man who is in good fighting
condition, from the standpoint of
nerves and muscles has about three
quarters of all I lie good tilings of
life. The other insignificantquarter
consists of money, fame, social position
and a few etceteras hardly worth
mentioning.
As civilization advances the tondency
to physical dogeraticn incrases.
Big heads, large opportunities, enfeebled
doctors and carloads of drugs

refined, Christian and progressive
society.
In earl'er centuries, for example,

the beast he rode. The tournament
made him famous and the ten tod

armor was a miracle of weight, but
ho were it as lightly as we wear a
spring overcoat.
His followers, too, were sturdy,
lusty fellows, who could roast an ox
and pick his bones to the last morsel.
Force ! marches, the bivouac in open
air, a daily skirmish, a band to hand
encounter with the foe made the time
pass merrily, and if they were killed,
why there were plenty more loft to
take their places.

when indoor industries, dusty manufactories,

that the great problem which claim

More Mutton and Less Pork.
Dr. Galon Wilson, the well known
authority upon all matters pertaining
to shoep, gives good reasons why
mutton should be more largely used
for food. It is true that farmers
would not only serve their own welfare,
but the public interest as well,
by paying greater attention to the
production of first class mutton for
the table. The doctor says that the
llesh of the sheep offers greater immunity
from disease and filth than
that of any other animal. Thev do
not thrive in the mire, nor wallow in
flu* 1 l?Ali rrli lintf fan 1

consnmo neither garbage. vermin, ,
decaying meats nor rotting vegetables.
Their llesh lias never been
Known to impart scrofula or trichinae
to those who eat it. The sheep is a
dainty feeder, and cleanly in all its
habits; it can not subsist on filth,
nor can it long survivo within its environment,
They are, of course,
subject to disease, but, unlike cattle,
hogs and fowls, they give ocular evidence
of their ailment, and that they
are unfit to slaughter for human food, ,
almost as soon as attacked. Mutton
is wholesome, nutritious and easily
digested, and those who partake of
it may have reasonable assurance
that it is clean and free from the (
germs of disease More mutton and (
less pork on our tables would be best
for both the producer and consumer.
We are making some progress in
this direction, but there is yet room
for more.

Out of 749,301 railway employes
in the United States, 2,451 were killed
last year in accidents and 22,390
were injured. One of every 300 was !
killed and one in every thirty was
injured. Henry C. Adams, statisti- <
cian of the interstate commerce coinmission,
estimates that one in every
105 trainmen was killed and one in i
every twelve was injured. In no other
employment, not even in mining, arc
the accidents so numerous. As to
the chief causes of deaths and injuries,
the total number killed in coupling
and uncoupling cars was 369, i
and tho number injnred was 7,842.
while the total number killed in falling
from cars and engines was 601
and the total number injured was i

from (loneral Albert Fiko to Dr.

died:
Washington, Sept. 3, 1885.
My Dearest and Host and Truest
old Friend?I have just received
your loving messugo sent to mo by
Mr. Sandols. 1 had already two

Cosh, who had the information fro.n

sumo patience and equanimity with
which you arc waiting for it.
I do not believe that our intellect
and individuality ceases to ho when
the vitality of the body ends. 1 have
a profound conviction, the only real
revelation, which to mo makes absolute
certainty, that there is a Supreme
Deity, the Intelligence and Lord of
the universe, to whom it is not folly
to pray. That our convictions conic
front Ilim, and in them lie does not
lie to or deceive us; and there is to he
for my very self another, and continued
life, in which this life will he as
if it had never been, but 1 shall see
anu know again those whom 1 have
loved and lost hero.
Von have led an upright, harmless
and blameless life, always doing good,
and not wrong and evil. Vou have
enjoyed the harmless pleasures of life
iind have never wearied of it, nor
though* it. had not been a life worth
living. Therefore yon need not fear
to meet whatever life beyond the
veil.
Kither there is no God, or there is
a just and merciful God, who will
deal gently and tenderly with the
human creatures whotn lie has made
so weak and so imperfect.
There is nothing in the future for
you to fear, us there is nothing in the

is as if they'had set all across the
Atlantic sea, to land in an unknown
country beyond, whither I soon shall
follow, to meet them again.
Hut, dear old tried friend, 1 shall
feel very lonely after you are gone.
We have been friends so long, without
a moment's intermission, withbut
even one littlo cloud or shadow
of unkindncss or suspicion coining
between us, that I shall miss you
terribly. 1 shall never have the heart
to visit Van Huron again. There

of the mulberries, and an intimate
communion and intercourse during
more than 45 years.
1 hoped to bo with you once more
in the woods; but now I shall never

old friends are nearly all gone; you

I shall live a little longer with little j

Gen- Grant's last Words.
; A dispatch from Neoga 111., Sept.
23, says: The reunion of the voter.
| tins of Gen. Grant's old regiment, the
Twenty first Illinois Volunteers,
! began hero last night. Gol. Krcd. j
Grant was given a hearty reception.j
In response to the requests for a
speech the Colonel said:
T do not intend to make you a
speech for I have not been trained as
a public talker; I have here documents
that 1 would like to read to j
you, it is the last line written by my
latHer upon matters pertaining to the
war, and lias never before boon made
public. As ho entered into the war
with you bis first companion, and as i j
be always spoko of your regiment
affectionate interest, it is fitting that ,
you should be the first to hoar bis <
parting words. This is what he |
wrote upon the pages I hold here: ,
"I feel that wo arc on the eve of a t
now era, when there is to he great
harmony between the Federals and ! >
Confederates' I cannot stay to be a 1
living witness to the correctness of
this prophecy, but 1 feel it within me j
that it is to bo so. The universally I
i
kind feelings expressed for me at the '
time when it was supposed that each '
day would prove my last, seems to
me tlu! beginning of the answers ,
44 Let us have peace.' Expressions of' 1
these kindly feelings were not re- |f
striated to any section of the country, j j
nor to a division of the people. I ;J
They came from individual citizens j (
of all nationalities from all ilonomi* 1
nations?Protestant, Catholic and 1
.Jew- and from the various societies j
of the land -scientMic, educational ,
religions or otherwise. This policy j I
did not enter into the matter at all. 1
I am not egotist enough to suppose '
all this significance should be given
this mattor because I was I he object
of it; hut the war between the States
was very bloody and very costly.
One side or the other had to yield tlie c
principles they deemed dearer than
life before it could be brought to an
end. I commanded the whole of the 1
mighty host engaged on the victor- (
ions side, 1 was, no matter whether
deservedly so or not, a representor of 1
that side of the controversy. It is a 1
. 1
significant and gratifying fact that
the Confederates could have ioined
11
heartily in this spontaneous move. 1
hopo tho ?oml feeling inaugurated |
may continue to the end.''--Ex.

I'IKIjD'S VANISHED TKKASUKK. (
Poor Cyrus W. Field has passed (
away honored and pitied by all. He t
lived to sen his immense fortune
squandered by a lenavish son and the
fortunes of several of his relatives }
engulfed also, immediately after the c
death of tho two who were dearest [
to him in life. Five years ago he j
was worth eight millions of dolars. ^
I asked him about that timo several
of the questions that stand at the

in the things wo want: and for that
purpose $10 a day is worth just *i
about as much as $1,000 a day. In j
addition to this, there is only the ^
gratified pride which arises from having
made what men generally call a '
great success. No doubt Mr. Gould <
has about the the same sort of satis
faction that his neighbor Gen. Grant
had?the satisfaction of having boa
ten.-tlio satisfaction that the boy has 1
who swims tho farthest, or the girl '
who stanos at the head of her class. 1
That's all there is to it." '
Mr. Field was cheerful then, and c
oven jovial; he lounged upon the *
leathern sofa and chatted and laugh- c
ed, and perhaps ho thought less of J

feeble but significant benediction. (
A friend of mine stood the other '
day at Mr Field's bedside and he !
speaks of kis state being pitiful, in- 1

"My life is ajwreck!" said tho sick 1
man bitterly. "My fortune gone, my 1
home dishonored?oh, I was so un- (
kind to Edward when 1 thought I
was being kind. If 1 had only had '
firmness enough, to compel my boys
to earn their own living, then they 1
would have known tho meaning of '

his desire to die. His visitor rem in- *

The Art of Being Happy.
Thcro is a deal of misery in the
world; three-fourths of it is entirely
unnecessary; there is no real cause
for it. The greater part of it might
be banished from the earth if people
only willed to do it. We borrow
most of our troubles; they are imaginary
lather than real; wo have
never learned the art of being happy.
I low many there arc in the world
who are surrounded with plenty;
who have home comfort and conveniences;
who have health and friends;
who have good companions and good
Lhildren'; who arc respected and poss
;:ss fair characters and cherish many
Christian virtues and are quite unhappy,
discontented in their lot and
lisposod to find fault with almost
everything.
To till such people wo would say,
ifcudy the art of being happy There
s such ati art; it can be learned and
ipplied to life. Kvory one can have
tnd apply it if he wills to do it. It
s no dillicull art; no more difficult
lian the art of reading and writing.
It requires only a lirin resolution, a

The Goat as An EaterA
good ileal has hoeti written about
t he digestion of an ostrich, but there
is nothing that an ostrich will eat
that a goat will not tackle and go it
two or three better. There are goats
with appetites that ran go all tlio way
from tender roso buds far into the domain
of broken crookory and discard
ed hardware, and to face an ostrich
with their records would cause that
modest bird to plunge its head into
the sand and wait for death to relieve
it of its disgust.
Three goats anived in the city
this morning on the Illinois Central
train from Memphis: and each one,
it appears, has done himself proud in
maintaining the record as the greatest
all around eaters in the world.
The goats were placed by their owner,
when the train left .Memphis, in

train men that they were trained and
perfectly harmless, and the reKult
was i he animals wore tied to the
straps of trunks, for safe-keeping.
The journey to New Orleans had not
fairly commenced, however, before
the restless nature of the goat inserted
itsolf, and they quietly freed
themselves by eating oil the straps to
which they were chained. The taste
of the leather whetted their appetites
and they began to look around the
car for something on which to make
a iquarc meal; and a package of mail
for llernande, Miss., that the bag
gage master bad placed,'on a trunk
whilo engaged in his duties, suddenly
disappeared, and when be missed
the package the goats were devoting
themselves to the feast that had been
set before them in the shapo of the
trunks and a dozen more of them
l rnss, leather and all, to the dismay
of the baggage master had gone to
join tho Hernando mail together
with all of his way bills, and the
binding of several handsome volumes
belonging to a book agent.
No person on earth can express
uiiiisuii on miu spur or tuo inoinoiit
with us much force as a baggago
master on a railroad, but his allusions
io the conduct of the goats had
no effect whatever, and a look of gentle
innocence shone in their eyes as
they smacked their lips over what
they regarded as an unsuflicicnt
luncheon and commenced to glance
around for somothing more substan.

trunks, is discribed a tearful, as tho

however that the goats are perfectly
complacent ?r.d still hungry.
