Dude and Pension.

Two dudes were on & railroad parlor ear, riding between two cities, and,’as they sat in the smoking-room languidly puffing at little cigarettes, they conversed in the native tongue of the dude, not noticing a bald-headed man who was buried in a newspaper. The conversation of the dudes turned upon what business was the most desirable for a person who did not want to do anything except to eat, and drink and be’clothed, and one remarked that he had rather own a farm and spend the income from it than anything he knew of. The other dude, who was a facetious individual with about as much brain as a canary bird, said, “Well, don’t you know, I think I had rather draw a pension fi;om the Government. That is the easiest business, by Jove, there is going, don’t you know ?” The bald-headed man was mad enough to have brained the dude with a toy balloon, but he held his temper, until the two dudes began to laugh at the witticism, and then he conld contain himself no longer, and, turning to the two nine spots who were sitting together in a corner of the smoking apartment, and standing up before them so they could not get out, with his face flushed, and each hair on the side of his head feeling like a porcupine quill, he said: “And so you think drawing a pension is the easiest business there is going, do you? Do yon realize what you are talking about ? Do you know that the men who draw pensions have been through more suffering, privation and sorrow than you ever dreamed of? Do you consider it easy to march thousands of miles on foot over muddy roads, sleeping on the frozen ground and living on hard tack, and fighting between meals ? Do you yrant to draw a pension at the expense of health? Dp you know that the men who draw pensions, of whom you speak so flippantly, have been burned with Southern fevers until every bone has ached night and day for twenty years? Do you know that some of the men who draw pensions have had limbs shot off by cannon, and had limbs cut off by doctors’ saws, and that some’of them carry bullets in their bodies to-day, and that' every move they make is full of pain ? Haven’t you heard that some of the pensioners were starved in rebel prisons, until they would have mortgaged their immortal souls—which you may not possess—for a piece of bread so dry and dirty that a hog would not eat it unless .it was soaked in water ? Did you never read of some of the pensioners being bayoneted, and carrying sores for fifteen years, that would not heal ? You—you poor imitation of a human being—look upon drawing a pension as an easy business, when it has cost the pensioner the best part of his life and all his health. Would you sleep out on a rail fence, your body dripping wet, contracting rheumatism at every breath you draw, and then call drawing a pension a nice, safe, easybusine s? You laugh at a remark at the expense-of a pensioned soldier, when you are not tit for a soldier to wipe Ids feet on. Why, condemn you, I have a mind to throw both of you through that plate-glass window, when I think of the barrels of tears that have been shed by wives and mothers and sisters for every dollar that was ever paid for pensions,” and the old man began to take off his coat, when the conductor came in and wanted to know what the row was. On being told, he ordered the dudes into the baggage-car, and he sat down with the bald-headed old map, and they talked about old times, when they were both in the same regiment, in a Southern swamp, and the two dudes were not born. —Peck’s Sun.

An Old English Highway.

One of the most interesting of English highways is the old coach road from London to Portsmouth. Its interest is in part due to the charming scenery through which it runs, but as much to memories of a by-gone time. One traveling this road at the present day might well deem it lonely, as there will be met on it only the liveried equipage of some local magnate, the more unpretentious turn-out of country doctor or parson, with here and there a lumbering farm wagon, or the farmer himself, in his smart two-wheeled “trap,” on the way to a neighboring market, How different it was half a century ago, when along this same highway fifty four-horse stages were “tooled” to and fro between England’s metropolis and her chief seaport town, top heavy with fares—often a noisy crowd, of jovial Jack-tars, just off a cruise and making Londonward, or with faces set for Portsmouth, once more to breast the billows and brave the dangers of the’ deep! Many a naval officer of name and fame historic, such as the Rodneys, Cochranes, Collingwoods, and Codringtons —even Nile’s hero himself—has been whirled along this old. highway. All that is over now, and long has been. To-day the iron horse, with its rattling train, carries such travelers by a different route —the screech of its whistle being just audible to wayfarers on the old road, as in mockery of their crawling pace. Of its ancient glories there remain only the splendid causeway, still kept in repair, and the inns encountered at short distances sipart, many of them once grand hostelries. They, however, are not in repair; instead, altogether out of it. Their walls are cracked and crumbling to ruins, the ample court-yards are grassgrown, and the stables empty, Or •occupied only' by half a dozen clumsy cart-horses: while of human kind moving around will be a lout or two in smock-frocks, where gaudily-dressed postilions, booted and spurred, with natty ostlers in sleeved waistcoats, tightfitting breeches, and gaiters once ruled the roast. Among other ancient landmarks on this now little-used highway is one of dark and tragic import. , Beyond the town of Petersfield, going southward, the road winds up a long, steep ridge of chalk formation—the “Southdowns,” which have given their name to the celebrated breed of sheep. Near the summit is a crater-like depression, several hundred feet in depth, around whose rim the causeway is carried—a dark and dismal hole, so weird of aspect as to have earned for it the np-

pellation of the “Devil’s Punch Bowl.” —Mayne Reid.

What the Human Memory Can Do.

There has been writing in India for 2,500 years now, yet the custodians of the Vedic traditions have never trusted to it. They trust, for the perfect perpetuation and transmission of the sacred books, to disciplined memory. They have manuscripts, they have even a printed text, but, says Max Muller, “they do not learn their sacred lore from them. They learn it as their ancestors learned it thousands of years ago, from the lips of a teacher, so that the Vedic succession should never be broken.” For eight years in their youth they are entirely occupied in learning this. "They learn a few lines every day, repeat them for hours, so that the whole house resounds with the noise, and thus they strengthen their memory to that degree that, when their apprenticeship is finished, you can open them like a book, and find any passage you like, any word, any accent.” And Max Muller shows, from rules given in the Vedas themselves, that this oral teaching of them was carried on, exactly as now, at least 500 B. C. Very much the same was it with those rabbinical schools amid which the Talmud gradually grew up. All of that vast literature, exceeding many times in bulk Homer and the Vedas and the Bible all together, was, at any rate until its later periods, the growth of oral tradition, too, which is the hardest to rememher, and yet it was carried down, century after century, in the memory; and long after it had all been committed to writing the old memorizing continued in the schools. Indeed, it has not entirely ceased even now, for my friend, Dr. Gottheil, of New York, tells that he has had in his study a man who thus knows the entire Talmud by heart, and can take it up at any word that is given him, and go on repeating it syllable by syllable, without hesitation and with absolute correctness.— Atlantic Monthly.

An Amusing Mistake.

In the days when the peculiar dialect of which Whittier has given a ■ specimen in “Floyd Ireson’s Ride” was the common speech of Marblehead, Mass., it used to be said that a well-dressed stranger could not enter that town without being stoned by the boys. The aprocryphal custoAi—for the report was doubtless a slander on that patriotic town—is a good illustration of the excitement which clothes that are common in one part of the country create in another section, where they are unknown. A young man had an amusing illustration of this fact while tramping last summer through one of the “back towns” of Maine. The roads were muddy, and he had on a pair of rubbers, bought at the village store, that were two sizes too large for his feet. It began to rain very hard, and to escape it he ran into the yard of the nearest house, reaching the front door just as it was opened by a hospitable old lady, who asked him to come in. As he stepped inside, one of the rubbers slipped off, and showed a canvas shoe, known as a “base-ball shoe.” The canvas and the facings were both dark-brown, which were faded and begrimed with dust. Hastily glancing at the rubberless foot, she fairly shrieked in astonishment: “Goodness gracious, young man! Hain’t yer got nothin’ on but them stockin’s?”

Influence of Kind Words.

“A soft answer turneth away wrath,” and, not unfrequently, changeth it into friendliness. An impressive illustration of the transmuting power there is in gentle words once occurred to De Quincey. When a lad of 17 he was traveling on the outside of a stagecoach. By his side was a rough fellow, whom, for the first four or five miles, De Quincey annoyed by occasionally falling asleep and lurching against him when the coach rolled to his side. The rough man ejaculated his complaint at the annoyance in sufly words. De Quincey gently apologized, explaining that he was ill and could not afford to take an inside seat, and promising to avoid, if he could, falling asleep again. Upon hearing this explanation the man’s manner instantly changed. De Quincey next awoke—for he had again fallen asleep—he found himself lying in the man’s arms protected from falling off the coach, and treated with the gentleness of a woman. The incident taught De Quincey that no human creature was beyond the mollifying influence of kind words, and that much harshness would be prevented if we better understood each other.

Conveniently.

A lady went into one of the large stores in Boston, where were a number of young girls who act as saleswomen, and asked to look at a boy’s hat. Not being quite sure what size she needed, she said, after looking at several, “I will look at a number six and fiveeighths, if you can find one convenently,” thinking the girl might have to look through a pile of them, and regretting the trouble it was: causing. The face of the young girl brightened, as she said, with real gratitude, but with a pathetic tone “No one ever says to us, ‘lf you can find one conveniently.’ ” Alas, that we forget to be polite! We say he or she is hired to wait on customers, and we do not say, “Thank you, ” or act as though we appreciated anything done for us. That person makes many friends who goes through life with a smile and a kind word.— Cong regationalist.

Out on Both Versions.

“Wonder what’s become of the revised New Testament?” said Brown. “ ’Pon my word I haven’t seen a copy of it for a year.” “Have you seen a copy of the old version within a year?” asked Deacon Textual. “By gracious!” exclaimed Brown, “it’s funny, but, come to think of it, I haven’t set eyes on a Bible of any kind for I can’t tell you how long. Perhaps the new version ain’t any more of a failure than the old one, after all.—Exchange.

Causes of Ill Health.

In the shape of bad seweraxe, the development of foetid gases in dwellings and closely populated neighborhoods, bad house ventilation, and the impregnation of the air with miasma in the vicinity of sunken lots and stagnant pools, are *0 rife, that it is a wonder how the inhabitants of towns and cities preserve any immunity from disease. The necessity for prompt and efficient household remedies is daily growing more imperative, and of these Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the chief in merit and the most popular. Irregularity of the stomach and bowels, malarial fevers, liver complaint, debility, rheumatism and minor ailments, are thoroughly conquered by this incomparable family restorative and medicinal safeguard. Both in town md country it is regarded, and justly, as the purest and most comprehensive remedy of ,ts class, and it has, moreover, the sanction of leading medical men who have thoroughly and practically tested it. “What do you mean, you rascal, by spilling my coffee all over me?” shouted an enraged passenger. “Never mind, sir,” protested the waiter, “I’ll get you some more, sir.” The original Jacob’Bladder was one of those things that worked both way s. It was not only a flight of stairs, but stairs of light. A Good Investment.—One of our prominent business men said to us the other day: “In the spring my wife got all run down and could not eat anything; passing your store I saw a pile of Hood’s Sarsaparilla in the druggist's window, and I got a bottle. After she had taken it a week she had a rousing appetite. She took three bottles, and it was the best three dollars I ever invested.” C. L Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. At a town meeting in Ireland it was recently voted that “all persons in the town owning dogs should be muzzled.” From Boulder, Col., Miss N. E. Wilder, writes: •'Samaritan Nervine cured me of epilepsy. ” Some one who believes that “ brevity is the soul of wit ” writes, “ Don’t eat Q cumbers, they’ll W you up.” No opiates or drastic cathartics are to be found in that peerless remedy, Samaritan Nervine. If they take the tax off whisky it will go down. The kind they make now shows an occasional disposition to come up.

An Interesting Patent Suit.

Nelson Lyon, of Albany, N. Y., has recovered judgment of $8,477.10, against G. T. Fisher & Co., in the U. 8. Circuit court, at Detroit, Mich., for an infringement of Lyon’s Patent Metallic Heel Stiffener. This contrivance is one of the most useful of modern inventions, and has achieved a remarkable sale —over $750,000 worth, the testimony showed, having been sold since the patent was granted, being a grand total of 3,888,000 pairs. The Invention consists of a neat metal plate fastening to the outside of a boot or shoe heel, arranged to pre.vent the counters from breaking over and the heel from wearing down unevenly. The Attorney General of the United States declared the Lyon patent invalid on account of an informality in the application. This was afterward corrected by the Commissioner of Patents in accordance with a special act of Congress authorizing it. Action was commenced in May, 1880, a perpetual injunction was obtained in December, and the case was referred to a master, who reported the damages as $3,831, but on motion the court doubled the same, and directed judgment to be entered against defendants for such double damages, with interest and costs.

Cured Clergymen.

Bev. L. S. Caultan, of Circleville, Kan., says: Dr. Warner, your White Wine of Tar Syrup has been in my family and found to be all and even more than you claim of it. It is a speedy cure for all Throat and Lung diseases.

Nothing Like It.

No medicine has ever been known so effectual in the cure of all those diseases arising from an impure condition of the blood as Scovill’s Sarsaparilla, or Blood and Liver Syrup, for the cure of scrofula, white swellings, rheumatism, pimples, blotches, eruptions, venereal sores and diseases, consumption, goitre, boils, cancers, and all kindred diseases. No better means of securing a beautiful complexion can be obtained that) by using Scovill’s Blood and Liver Syrup, which cleanses the blood and gives beauty to the skin.

My Wife and Children.

Vernon, says: My children were afflicted with a cough resulting from Measles, my wife with a cough that had prevented her from sleeping more or less for years, and your White Wine of Tar Syrup has cured them al). JfOB dyspepsia, indigestion, depression of spirits and general debility in their various forms; also as a preventive against fever and ague, and other intermittent fevers, the “Ferro-Phosphorated Elixir of Calisaya,” made by Caswell, Hazard <fc Co., New York, and sold by all druggists, is the best tonic; and for patients recovering from fever or other sickness it has no equal < The medical properties of petroleum have Jong been known to the aborigines, and since Carto ine has become so well known as a hair restorer and dressing, petroleum takes front rank among the new remedies.

If and If. " If you are suffering from poor health *or languishing on a bed of sickness, ‘take cheer; if you are simply ailing, ‘or if you feel weak and dispirited, without clearly knowing why, Hop Bitters will surely cure you." “If you are a Minister, and have overtaxed ‘yourself with your pastoral duties, or a Mother, ‘worn out with care and work, or a man of busi- * ness or laborer weakened by the strain of your ‘everyday duties, or a man of letters, toiling ‘over your midnight work, Hop Bitters will ‘surely strengthen you.” “If you are suffering ‘from over-eating or ‘drinking, any indls‘cretion or dissipation, ‘or are young and ‘growing too fast, as is ‘ often the case," “ Or if you are in the workshop, on * the farm, at the desk, anywhere, and ‘feel that your system needs cleans‘ing, toning, or stimulating, without ‘intoxicating, if you are old, blood ‘ thin and impure, pulse feeble, nerves ‘ unsteady, faculties waning, Hop ‘ Bitters is what you need to give you ‘ new life, health and vigor.” If you are costive or dyspeptic, or or suffering from any other of the numerous diseases of the stomach or bowels, it is your own fault if you remain ill. If you are wasting away with any form of Kidney disease, stop tempting death this moment, and. turn for a cure to Hop Bitters. If you are sick with that terrible sickness Nervousness, you will find a “Balm in Gilead” ' v in Hop Bitters.

DR. SCHENCK’S PULMONIC SYRUP, ' SEAWEED TONIC, A MANDRAKE PILLS. As the proprietor of these medicines I conscientiously offer them to the public as safe, reliable and certain remedies for the Cure of Consumption, and with equal confidence as almost a specific for those morbid conditions of the body, which, if neglected, are apt to terminate in fatal diseases of the lungs. I claim that the use of my remedies will cure Consumption. I do not claim that the disease can be cured after the lungs are destroyed, for no medicine can create new ones; but I maintain that the first stages of Consumption are curable, even when the lungs are partially decayed. When one lung is sonnd l am almost certain of making a cure, if the patient will take proper care of himself and follow my directions. It may be asked, “How is it that you can know so much about this disease, and pretend to cure it, when so many educated physicians, who have made a study of it for years, pronounce it incurable?* The question is a fair one, and shall be fairly answered: I do not claim to know more than other physicians about the causes, nature and history of Consumption. I suppose that my view's on these points would be found to agree with those of modt educated and intelligent physicians. We should agree that while the final cause is obscure—in other words, while it is not possible to say wAy Consumption selects this or that person as a victim—yet the predisposing causes are: Ist, Inheritance. Consumption is hereditary in a wonderful degree. One parent very often entails it upon the offspring, and both, still more frequently, so that whole families are often swept away, and hand the predisposition down to their children. 2d, Cold. By this we do not mean those changes of weather which often produce inflammation; but long continued and steady cold, so that a condition of debility is produced. Indeed, whatever tends to produce long continued debility will, in some persons, generate Pulmonary Consumption. Prominent among these influences are insufficient diet, living in an unwholesome air, sedentary habits, grief, anxiety, disappointment, whether of the affections or in business, and all other depressing emotions; the abuse of mercury and the influence of weakening diseases. I also agree with the best doctors as to .the manner in which the lungs become affected. Pulmonary Consumption is also called Tuberculous Consumption, by which we mean a disease of the lunge caused by tubercles. A tubercle is a small, roundish body, which is deposited in the substance of the lungs by the blood. This is the beginning and first act of the disease. Many of these are often deposited at once. Each one undergoes several changes. After producing inflammation of the parts of the lung next to it, it ends m ulceration, opens a passage into the bronchial tubes, and passes out at the mouth by spitting. The place where the tubercle grew and ripened now becomes a cavity, and-where there are a great many tubercles of course they make a great many of these little cavities, which gradually unite and leave great holes in the lungs. Unless a stop can be put to this process, it will go on until the substance of the lungs is consumed and death ensues. Of course I agree with the faculty upon the symptoms and course of the disease; the short, dry, hacking cough, so slight at first, but gradually increasing; then shortness of breath, a quickening pulse, then feverish sensations, flushing of the cheeks, and heat in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet; the slight but growing emaciation, with feeble appetite, hemorrhages, increasing cough, disturbed sleep, fevered tongue, then loss of appetite, expectoration of softened tubercle in the shape of small lumps of yellowish, cheesy or curdy matter; hectic fever, brilliant eye, chills, night sweats, sharp pains in the sides, increasing emaciation and debility, disordered stomach and bowels, diarrhea, nausea, swollen extremities, hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, weakness so great that expectoration is impossible; then death, bringing welcome relief from the tortures of this horrid monster. Now, as I have said, I mainly agree with the medical faculty on these points. But when we come to the treatment of the disease I differ from it totally. The doctors believe Pulmonary Consumption cannot be cured. Therefore they do not try to do anything more than to smooth the patient’s path to the grave, and seem quite reckless of the medicines they give, so that the patient is kept comfortable and easy, even if his life is shortened. As soon as tubercles begin to appear in the lungs of .a patient, it is a common practice with many leading physicians to begin dosing with whisky in increasing quantities, until the ravages of excessive dram-drinking are added to the ravages of the disease; and I have yet to hear of a single case of Consumption which was cured by stimulants. I can say the same of Cod Liver Oil. Many physicians send their patients away from home on distant voyages, to Minnesota or Florida—anything or anywhere so that they may die easy. For they do not pretend to cure, and they have no remedies which will do so. Now I say not only that diseases of the lungs can be cured, but that my medicines do cure them. The proof is, that by their use thousands of Consumptives have bdtn and are now being cured by them. The whole science of medicine is based on experiments. We cannot by any process of reasoning decide that any particular medicine will help or cure any particular disease. How was it found that Quinine will cure Chills and Fevers? Why, by trying one thing after another, until experience demonstrated that it was a specific for that disease. In just that way the knowledge was gained of my remedies, which are almost a specific in diseases of the lungs. Pulmonary Consumption is hereditary in my father’s family. Hte father, mother, brothers and sisters died of it, and he had reached almost the last stages of the disease when he was providentially led to experiment with the articles which are incorporated in these medicines. He was cured by them, and lived a strong, healthy man for over p forty years after his recovery. What cured him has cured thousands of others al) over the country. These results are nftt accidental. There is no such thing as accident in nature. Whatever may be the cause, the origin of Pulmonary Consumption is in the blood. Whenever, from any of the predisposing causes which I have just now mentioned, the blood becomes degenerated, it begins to make tuberculous deposits in the substance of the lungs. This must be stopped or death will surely follow. It will not be enough to get rid of the tubercles already deposited, and heal up the sores already made, but something must be done to stop further deposits. What shall that be? The regular faculty say nothing be done. I say purify, enrich and tone up the blood, until it becomes so healthy as no longer to make tubercles. Can this be done? Yes. How? By the easiest and most natural way in the world. Take a man who shows to the experienced eye, by many infallible signs, that Consumption has set in. He is feeble and without appetite. Now see what I intend to do: first, I propose to cleanse his stomach and bowels of their dead, slimy, clogging matter. This I shall do with my Mandrake Pills, which are the best cathartic pills in the world. They contain no calomel or other minerals, only vegetable matter. They evacuate the stomach and bowels gently but thoroughly, and do not weaken or gripe. They act like magic on the liver, rousing it out of its dull, torpid state, and promoting a full, free flow of healthy bile, without which there can be no perfect digestion. Now that the stomach and bowels are cleansed and ready—what next? Create an appetite. This I do by my Seaweed Tonic. The effect of this medicine is wonderful. Unlike a temporary stimulant, which by reaction lets the organs affected sink lower than before, this not only tonesup the stomach, but keeps it toned up. The natural craving for food returns in all its force, so that we have now a .stomach hungry for food, and a digestive apparatus ready to make with it. WKatnext? Any one can answer-that question. Put into that hungry stomach an abundant supply of nutritious food to be converted by the strange chemistry of digestion into rich red blood. This win stimulate the heart into stronger action, and it win pump a fuller current out through the arteries; healthy blood will take the place of the thin, blue flattened fluid in the veins, and soon a circulation will be established which will flow through the lungs without making any unhealthy deposits ; strength and health will increase, and the bad symptoms steadily diminish. At the same time use my Pulmonic Byrup; it is the best expectorant known. It blends with the food, and through the blood goes directly to the lungs, attacks and loosens up the yellow, foul stuff left there by the ripened tubercles, and strengthens and stimulates the bronchial tubes and coatings of the air passages until they get strong enough to lift it out and expel it by expectoration. Then the lungs get over their soreness and have a chance to rest and heal. So you see that I have not only shown that my medicines do actually cure Consumption by experiment, but it also seems plain that they, or something like them, would, from the nature of the case, do so.

TO OWNERS OF HORSES! Do you not know that a horse as ordinarily shod does not have the footing which nature intended? For travel on pavements and hard and stony roads some protection for horses’ feet is necessary, but ordinary shoeing is inadequate and injurious. It throws the entire weight of the horse on the outer rim of the hoof alone, and removes it entirely from the frog, leaving the latter exposed to injury from nails, glass or jagged stones, upon which a horse is liable to step at any time. The result in thousands of cases is that the horse becomes lamed from contraction, corns, thrush, cuts or bruises. Ordinary shoeing is wrong in prlnc pie and injurious in p actice. It is little bet! er for a horse than would be a shoe with only a rim of leather for a sole for man’s use. A horse can be shod so that the pressure can be distributed just as it would be were the horse standing barefooted on the turf, and at the same time a complete protection against all injuries to the foot can be secured. This can be done by using the LOCKIE HORSESHOE PAD, the principal feature of which is a stout soleleather sole placed between the hoof and the shoe, as seen in the cute. The LOCKIE PAD is used and indorsed in strongest terms by BUDD DOBLE and scores of wellknown horse-drivers and traines; DR. W. SHEPARD and scores of well-known veterinary surgeons; H. V. BEMIS and scores of well-known horse-owners; J. J. BROWN and scores of well-known liverymen. Hundreds of horseshoers indorse it. Save your horse by saving his feet.
