When in trouble we should ihink that there arc others who are worse off than ourselves, and vet they, perchance, are happy aud con? tacted. And we need not go far to find those with whom wc would not exchange conditions. A gentleman, some years ago, said be was walking down Broad way. New York, entirely out of busi? ness, after having exhausted ail con? ceivable methods for procuring employ? ?t pf. Be bad a solitary sixpence iu kit pocket, and hunger gnawing at his vitsls. Be was in that desperate mood which may properly be called partial insanity, and in the fullness of his woe lia waa contemplating suicide. As he passed along, a collection of people gathered about thc door of a princely mansion diverted bis attention. Ile sara: **l beheld a decrepid oldman, bent double with agc, and so feeble that twa colored domestics were, with their Ocited strength, aiding his trembling and uncertain steps. He was nearly Hind, quite deaf, and possessed only to ? limited extent the faculties of taste and smell. He was taking his custo? mary morning walk, hobbling -from thc ?bor of his dwelling to thc n arest eomer. It was the famous millionaire. Astor, of world-wide reputation as one of the richest men of his times. 1 thought," said the desponding man, .that I, with my single sixpence, was in a glori?os situation compared with that ?.? before me, and I went my way with a beaming countenance and a lightened heart, thanking Heaven for th^jbealfb and strength I then enjoyed, bat Dad despised. I have," said he, .never despaired since.' The appeal to all is : "kook at the bright side! Recount all thy .joy?; Speak of the mercies which richi v surround thee; . Muse not forever on that which annoys; Shut not thine eyes to the beauties uround thee." -Boston Watchman. Long-Winded Wa once knew a good old Chrirtian gentleman, wbo had, we will say, but OM fault, yet that was a prime one : He was an everlasting talker. Wit ital he was Tcry food of talking about the ictdotcs, bot could not, it seemed, suc? ceed in getting any particular one to aay 'yes.' We said to him one day %%%\ the reason he coulee't get any of tb* bu xe io widows to marry him was, that after talking one into a willingness to bare bim, instead of stopping there sod planing thc basket, he kept on talking until she got out of the notion Let long-winded preachers take a kiwi. mmm i i wmi Silk was manufactured in the United States as long ago as 1832 by German immigrants liviog at Economy, Pa. -^-?- - - Tbe ancients were accustomed to ^a crescent at the beginning of a and a crown or something like it ai the end.

It was almost Fourth of CT July, and bc had only a few cents in his pocket. How wav lie to get enough to buy the fire crackers lie wanted ? In thc little village where ho lived boys never had much money to spend, but 'hey all wanted at lea^t two packs of fire-crackers apiece on Fourth of July. Tommy lacked ten cents of the needed amount, and where was he to get it ? Presently Sam Town went by the gate whistling, with a bag on his arm. 'Hullo, Sam ? Where are you going ?? called out Tommy. 'Down to G i von's store to sell rags,' replied Sam, cheerfully, 'aud get my pay in fire-crackers I' What a spendid idea ! Tommy sat no longer to think ; it was time for action. He ran into the house to find his moth? er, who was busy cutting out aprons for little Jennie. 'Oh mother !' he cried. 'Isn't your rag-bag most full ? May T sell thc rags and buy fire-erackers with the money V Mrs. Brown had known her little boy's longings, but had said nothing, because she had uo money to spare. So she too was glad when the rag-bag was suggested. 'Yes, you may take it, Tommy,' she said. Tiii afraid, though, there isu't more tban five ceuts' worth in it. But there are some old pieces in a chair ther*>, that I threw by this morning, and there will be some waste bits here when I get through cutting.' Tommy went hopefully to tho bed? room closet The rag-bag icas rather light, but he added the old pieces, scarce? ly noticing in his eagerness that they were not all so very old Janie had laid her doll's white ^rcss and ruffled skirt ou that very chair, and her own best handkerchief, but they were thrust into thc rag-bag with Tommy's old pieces. Then he went back and gathered up all the shreds of calico his mother could give him, aud put- in his slate-rag be? sides. Theu he weighed the rag-bag, and it still fell short. He begged for a torn towel ; he coaxed for a thin pillow-case, and Jauie bestowed ou him an old pinafore which really could not be mended any more. With all this he ran to Givcn's store, and Mr. Given weighed the bag, emptied the rags down through a trap-deur into his cellar, and paid Tommy a dime, which, added to the pcunies takcu from his pocket, he at once invested in fire? crackers. Then he went home proud aud happy The next day, when Mr. Givcn's broad cellar-case doors stood open to let in the air, little May Given slipped down there to look at rags. Some? times she found pretty bits there for patchwork, which her father always let her have. TIus time, joy of joys! she found a beautiful little skirt and dress winch would just fit her- dolly, and a hand? kerchief, too. Then May began to think to hciself after this fashion : *I s'posc some little girl broke her dollie, and didn't want its things any more. Stravagant girl she must bc; might have saved 'em till she got a new one ! Look just like Jauie Brown's doilic's things, but site wouldn't put 'em in old rags, course not! Guess I won't ask her. I'll ask my papa may I have 'em, and then they'll be mine.' So she ran and asked her busy papa, who, without a glance, said yes, and little May proceeded to dress her doll up beautifully. Fourth of Jul}' came, and there was just as much banging and popping in Tommy Brown's yard as in any boy's yard in to wu, which was a great satis? faction to his small heart. , In the afternoon little May Given came strolling over with her doll, to ? play with Janie But she found Janie j very sober, .? can't be happy at all. May,* she j said. 'My doll's best dress U lost, and j her ruffled skirt, and she has to wear her nightie all the time ! I can't find ? 'eui anywhere, and it has made me cry ! two or three times Y May began to bc sober now, and j looked down at her doll doubtfully. gMg dollie's got a new dress, and j ruffled skirt, just like yours. Come out of our rags, though, and papa gave 'cm j to me. So they're r.vj things.' .There, now !' exclaimed Janie ; ! .Tommy' been and sold my things in J the rag-bag-I kuow he has ! Tommy ! j Tommy !' Tommy came up, and when he heard the story, he was as sober as tho rest. It looked very probable to bini that he had sold Janie's doll-clothes in thc rag?, lu fact, he had uo doubt of it. .Wiil it make any di?Terhncc about, the fire crackers Y he said. 'I've got about ten left, and I can hand them back to Mr. Given ' Thc sunshine came into little May's ! face. 'Oh no. you needn't Tommy !' j she sai-', sweetly. 'Papa bought the ; dollie things, and he gave 'em to me. | Now they're mino, and I'll give 'em j back to Janie. So now they're hers, j don't you see ?' They did see, and after this settlement of the difficulty, thc sunshine was bright in all three little faces.- Youth's Com? panion. At Clinton, S. C , on last Saturday, seventy inmates of thc Thorn well Or? phanage, the president, thc matron and teachers were poisoned and made very sick by eating for dinner some custard that was prepared for ice cream thc day j before.

Popularity at home is not always thc best test of merit, but we nomi proudly*to the fact that no other medicine has won (.>" itself such universal approbation ia its own citj'. state, and country, and among all jjcoplo, as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Thc following letter f rom one of our best known .Massachusetts Druggists should bo ol interest to every suii'crer : - RHEUMATISM. ?ESQ vere that I could not move from the bed. or dress, without help. I tried several reme? dies without much if any relief, until I took AYKR'S SARSAPARILLA, by the usc of two bottles of which I was completely cured. Have sold large quantities of your SARSA? PARILLA, and it still retains its wonderful popularity. Thc many notable cures it has effected in this vicinity convince me that it is the best blood medicine over offered to thc public. E. F.

Hence, to cure the the disease the cause must be re? moved, and in no other wav can a cure ever be eifected. WA RN EU'S SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE is established on just this principle. It realizes that 95 Per Cent. of all diseases uris? from deranged kidneys and liver, and it strikes at once at Hie root of the difficulty. The elements of which it is composed act directly upon these great organs, both as a food and restorer, and, by placing them in a healthy condition, drive disease and pain from the system. For the innumerable troubles caused by un? healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; for the distjessing Disorders of WoRien ; for Malaria, and for physical derangements gen? erally, this great remedy has no equal.

While with Churchill's army, just before thc battle of Vicksburg, I contracted a se? vere cold, which terminated iu a dangerous cough. I found no relief till on our march we came to a country store, where, on asking for some remedy, I was urged to try AYEE'S CHEERY PECTORAL. "I did so, and was rapidly cured. Sines then I have kept the PECTORAL constantly by mc, for family usc, and I have found it to be an invaluable remedy for throat and lung diseases. J. W. WHITLEY."
