THE WEIGHT OF YEARS.

-How Father Time Beguile* Young Lives. In boyhood I was entertained ‘by the story of the “Arabian Nights.” My sympathies were roused by the plight of Sinbad, the sailor, going about with rthe Old Man of the Sea on his shoulders. * I did not allegorize. I did not I had no new wine for old .bottles. I knew Sinbad only as a sailor and the wrinkled old man only as one who had been a stroller on his own limbs till he found portage in Sinbad. I wondered why Sinbad took him. I thought the old man must have said: “You see I am in a helpless plight You see how old, withered, and weazen I iam. lam very light I have wandered along this shore so long there is nothing left of me but a shriveled skin over rickety bones. Let me sit on your shoulder just a little while. lam so light you will hardly feel me, and you have only to tell me when you are tired and I will dismount.” The silly sailor heard and yielded. The wily old man climbed up, locked his legs firmly around Sinbad’s breast and stuck thereto the end of his life. i All “which thing,” as Paul would say-, is an allegory. Sinbad is not a man, :but Man. The Old Man of the Sea is not time-wrinkled, but Time. He is past time. He is the Past. He comes toman and says: “I am very old. I have marked the tides on the shores of this island in the sea of worlds till other worlds have grown dim with age. This scythe wherewith I clip the generations has mown down such myriad lives as to make the crust of the globe iimpact of their skeletons. The world was growing old when I passed before the cradle of humanity. I made record of the faltering steps of infant man. I knew him when he knew not me. I knew of him when he conceived of me as something ‘cut off’ and called me ‘time,’ that is a thing cut. In the very life-stuff of the race I recorded the tattooing of the mind with superstition. Take me on your shoulder. I will iguide your feet. I will, sit lightly." , Man heard and yielded, and the Old Man mounted and locked his limbs .around our breast and laid his hand on lour brain. And there he sits, bestriding us as the Old Man of the Sea bestrode Sinbad. In his left hand he carries the ripe sheaves of error; in his right the seeds of truth. Shake him off we cannot. How he clings to us in the very names we give him! Why do we divide a day into twenty-four Lours and an hour into sixty minutes ? jit is because, long ago, shepherds on the plains of Babylonia happened to divide the day into twenty-four parts and one of these into sixty. It is because Nebuchadnezzar happened to [adopt the time scale of the shepherds. It is because Hipparchus journeying to I. Babylon found and took to Athens the time divisions of the Chaldeans. From Babylon it journeyed to Athens, from to Rome, from Rome to the (World, from the world of Rome down ithe ages till its footprints are on the face of your watch. The Old Man iguides your hand when you paint the numbers on the dial of a clock. Why is our notation decimal ? It is because nature, having wrought indefinitely as to arithmetic, came to the number live for the digits on a mammal’s foot, a number which she held and passed up into the fingers of a man. The first men counted on their fingers, and because the bathmodon which preceded man on his line had five toes our notation is decimal. The Old Man lays his hand on your brain when you stamp your coin or your paper in denominations of ten. How he presses on the brain of the pugilist, who calls his fist “a bunch of fives,” the very name used by Hesiod in the dawn of the mind life of Greece! Why do wear the marriage ring ? It is because the shaggy man of the prime wooed his wife with a club and led her to his cave with a rope on her wrist. When the age of iron came the thing was passing irrto a symbol. The tie of the rope gave place to a ring of iron. The symbolism passed from the wrist to the finger, from iron to gold, but Still, in parts of Germany, the bride, for a time, must wear iron. How lightly the Old Man sits on a lady’s finger whispering servitude where a man had whispered love. —Youth’s Companion.

Three French Patriots.

A large number of gymnastic and rifle associations attended the patriotic fete at Bougival on Sunday in honor of the three local heroes ■who were captured and shot by the Prussians in 1870—viz., Debergue, Martin and Cardon—in whose honor a memorial was erected in 1878. Debergue, who was a gardener, five times cut the telegraph ■wires put up by the invaders. He was arrested and threatened with death if he repeated what he had done. Nothing daunted, however, he replied, “I am a Frenchman; it is my duty to do all I can against you. Let me go, and I will cut the wires again.” The Germans ordered him to be shot.—Galignani’s Messenger. The common puff-ball strikingly illustrates the rapidity with which fungi may multiply. It is said that 300 years would be required for a man to count the spores of a single ball, if it were possible to continue the counting day and night for that time. Yet a favorably planted spore will produce a plant as large as the double fist in a single night. “When a person is found poisoned by illuminating gas the best treatment is to secure fresh air and if possible pure oxygen; a recumbent position; warmth; diffusible stimulants, with such aids as artificial respiration, electricity and nutrient enemata.” The day of payment is always nearer the day of promise than it seems.

LENGTH OF DAYS.

Five Hundred Year* Old—la Living a Lost Art? Is life worth living? In the days of long ago people seemed to think it was, if the length of time they devoted to becoming acquainted with its lights and shadows is any criterion. It would seem as though life mnst have afforded much of enjoyment in the good old days. Sophnclei hung on until he was 13C years old, then penshed by an accident Attila was 124 when he died of the consequence of a revel on the night of his second marriage. This is a warning to young men. Epemenides was 157 at his regretted decease. Crowns did not sit so heav.ly on the brows of monarchs as they seem latterly to da Fohi, the founder of the Chinese Empire, reigned 115 years, and so did Apaphns of Thebes Egyptian. Tacitus gives I<s years to Tuisco, a German prince. Daddon, an lllynan noble, lived for 500 years, according to Alexander Cornelius. The art of living seems to be one of the many “lost arts,” which the dark ages covered over, ana modern civilization has not yet been able to uncover. It is certain long life was not secured by using mineral poisons as remedies for disease. That is essentially modern practice. The an tients doubtless drew on the laboratory of nature for their medicines, hence the span of their lives was naturally extended. -v We know that our immediate ancestors fdund their medicines in the fields and foreste, adjoining their log cabin homes. These natural remedies were efficacious and harm-less-left no poison in the system. Physicians were rarely called in, and the people lived to rugged and hearty old age. Is it not worth while to return to their wholesome methods of cure for common ailments? H. H. Warner & Co., proprietors of Warner’s Safe Cure, have introduced to the public a line of Log Cabin remedies, and their name indicates their character. They include a “Sarsaparilla,” “Hops and Buchu Remedy,” “Cough and Consumption Remedy,” “Extract for External and Internal Use, “ “Rose Cream,” for Catarrh, “Scalpine,” for the Hair, “Liver Pills,” and “Porous Plaster.” They are carefully compounded from actual recipes, the most efficacious in use by our grandparents, and those who would like to try the virtues of old-time remedies, have an opportunity to secure the best in “Warner’s Log Cabin Rem-

“Did I understand you to say that you lived in Dakota?” inquired a Chicago man of a tall and solemn stranger who was seated in front of him on a train. “Yes, sir; I reside there,” replied the stranger. “An old schoolmate of mine went out there,” continued the Chicago man, “and I understand he has got into public life to a considerable extent; W. H. Bledsoe is his name. ” “O, yes, I am well acquainted with him—the Ron. Bill Bledsoe our people call him. “Making a success of it?”, “Weil, hardly; though he has been in the Legislature a couple of terms, and has had a good chance.” “Not cut out for a leader in a lawmaking.body, I should judge?” “No; O, no; decidedly not; not in Dakota, at any rate. He plays a very poor game of poker.” “O!” “Yes; remarkably poor. The first session the President of the Council and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee cleaned him out of about $1,500, and his constituents put up the amount to save trouble. He got elected the second time on the issue of being able to win back the money and refund it to the voters of his district. ” “Did he succeed?” “No; on the contrary, he lost more than before. The Speaker of the House and Chairman of the Committee on Schools and Colleges claimed it was their turn, and so they, together with one or two more of us, got him into a game and won $2,000 from him before midnight. I suppose I might say we played the cards very close to our—er—persons that night.” “You are also a member of the Legislature, then?” “Me? No, lam not a member—l am not a politician. But,” and there was a faint touch of honest pride in his heart as he said it, “I’ve been chaplain of the Dakota Legislature for the last twenty years. ”—FredH. Carruth.

Too Large By Far.

Some time ago a boatswain was sent out from England to join a gunboat from the far East. Lo and behold, on his arrival it was discovered that his exceptional physical dimensions prevented him from going down the hatchway 1 Try as he might, he could not squeeze his body through the narrow opening. What did the navel authorities do? They widened the hatchway, no doubt. Not a bit of it; they sent back the corpulent boatswain to England, and dispatched a slimmer man in his stead.— London Exchange.

Mr The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladies. , Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested It in the more aggravated and obstinate cases which bad baffled their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of Buffering women. It is not recommended as a “cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman’s peculiar ailments. As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” “run-down," debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. As a soothing and strengthening nervine, “Favorite Prescription" is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organib disease of the womb. ’lt induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dyspepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small doses, will prove very beneficial. “ Favorite Prescription ” is a post* tive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, “ female weakness, anteversion. retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with “Internal heat.” As a regulator and promoter of functional action, at that critical period of change from girlhood to womanhood, “ Favorite Prescription "Is a perfectly safe remedial agent, and can produce only good results. It is equally efficacious and valuable in its effects when taken for those disorders and derangements Incident to that later and most critical period, known as “The Change of Life.” “Favorite Prescription,” when taken in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets (Littlo Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder diseases. Their combined use also removes blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofulous humors from the system. “Favorite Prescription” is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manufacturer, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded.
