Messrs.

T have tried all the remedies that 1 cou!d find but withon! material or permanent benefit. Last fall the disease had grrived iat that state that I must have relief or die . Theentire membranous system h d become go inflamed and the stomach so dis .rdered that it was a doubtful matier whether I couid go to the Pacific coast, or if I did go whether I should live to come back or not. Isaw an advertisement of this medicine, and although being very incredulous about gpecitics or nostrums of any kind, yet in sbeer desperation I tried ihis, and was at once benefitted byit. The changes of climate, a chronic.digease of the liver and my agé-—over 70—may prevent my entire restoratiot, but ,the benefit I derive from its daily useis to me invaluable and I am hopeing to be completely cured, and at last arrive at a re gpeciable vld age. If this statement of my cage can be of any ser- | vicg to thore afflicrea us I bave been, dnd enable you to bring this remedy into more general use, - especially 011 the Pacific coast (where it is much needed), my object in writing this note will be obtained.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1876,

WHOSE WAS THE GUILT?

' - Ellis Tremayne laid his: froek down with a gesture half of impatience,half of discouragement, and a frown that ] had no business on the foreheadof a ( six months’ married man, the husband | of the prettiest of women, corrugated i his handsome white forehead. : [ “You seem to have not the slightest appreciation of affairs, Effie. I have explained time and again thatl anr living up to my income—not saving a ‘penny—and yet you still persist in den:anding money for every trifle that takes your tancy.” . ; Ellis Tremayne spoke more decisively than Effie hadl ever heard him, and she mentally vowed him horridly cross, and parted her red lips and leaned back in her chair with a very ‘aggrieved look on her lovely face, “ And yet it was lovely. : ¥ Mr. Tremayne thought so that mo‘ment as he looked at the delicate pink and snow complexion, and the large, dark blue eyes that had played.such mad havoe with his heart a.year ago—at the full, exquisite lips that had only seemed made for smiles and Kkisses then, that now were rapidly consummating their task of discovering the clay feet of his idol—that now were parting to utter words he knew:were coming, that did come. S ; “Yousare just as meah and cross as can be! What’s the use of living at all'if you can’t have what you want—if you can’t have things like other people? I tell you, I think you mightulet me have sume money this morning; I need it most awfully.” B Her blueeyes certainly looked pleading enough to give entire credence to. her assertions. = e

“T am almost tempted. to say that cannot_be true, Effie, since it was ounly a week ago to-day I handed you twen-ty-five pounds—a sum amply sufficient for even the most inexperienced financier on which .to keep a” family of tr“'o.” v t 3

" Darkei frowns were jgathering on Tremayne’s forehead, but Effie/ only answered with a sneer: R R

“Twenty-five ;pounds! You speak as if it were a fortune. I tell you, Ellis, I must have things like—-like other people. -How on earth do you suppese I feel when Mrs. Coddington or: Miss Bellburn calls for me'to drive, jvearing their elegant carriage costumes, and Tin the same dress I appear in.in the street or chureh?” 5

Tremayne smiled contemptously.

| “So you hope to rival the wife of a millionaire and the only daugliter of a wedlthy banker, do you ?Y—you, the wife of a cashier at Wingfield & Sons, -on seven hundred a year? Effie, have nothing to do with women who dre unconsciously, perhaps, sowing seeds of discontent and extravagance in yout heart.” - : : ; : ~ “I am neither discontented nor extravagant, Ellis—you shall not say so. But I must have some money to get a new; suit.. Oh, Ellis. such a heavenly shade of prune, and you kui)w I can wear so well one particular shade.— Honestly, I haven’t a dress to wear to Mrs. Lamar’s reception.” B g Ellis ate his ;egg with very little show of satisfaction, and his. silence while bitter thoughts weré rushing through his mind, was taken by Effie as a sign of consent. ' : ' " She was notslow in pressing her advantage. . Hees “It won’t cost over twenty pounds, Ellis=—very reasonable, indeed, for I shall make it nearly all myself, and I am sure you cap’t be displeased at’ that. Then say ‘yes,” won’s you, Ellis, dear?” : :

A settled, white look came around his handsome.mouth. ;

“If you care more for show and fine clothes than for my respect and the consciousness that you are an economical, prudent wife who is helping her husband save instead of almost goading him into debt, you can have the money.” ; Her eyes flashed ag delightedly as a child’s over ja'niew toy. f"She, had accomplished ‘hev désire, and his cold, yet touching. words had fallen unheeded before that— ] .“You can have the money.” - &~ '

" She sprang from her chair behind the coffee-urn, and threw her arms around his neck, kissing his handsome, worried forehead. | Celets .

. “You darhing! I knew you would not say ‘No,” for all you read me such a lecture on economy. Really, Ellis, when you see how lovely I shall look in new silk, you will not grudge the money, will you? You like to see’'me Jook as pretty as-I used to before we were married, don’t you? And you’re not angry dear? You do love me!” Her sweet, girlish face all alight with happy énthusiasm, her blue eyes dancing with such honest delight, her smooth %heek lying against his, and her dainty little bhand stroking s whiskers—of - course. Ellis laid down his napkin and pushed back from the table and kisséd her. - She was his wife—sweet, pretty, delicate as a. mountain pink, and he loved her—loved her dearly, truly, as in the days when he had won her, thinking what a rare flower she was.

He loved her, and was willing, yes, anxious, to increase her happiness by every honest means in his power—only Effie was extrav_agnnt‘and unreasonable in her demand for dress and style that were beyond the capabilities of the well-salaried man that he was. So now. he kissed her tenderly, and then took out his purse and laid a bank-note on the table-cloth. -

“There’s. your new silk, dear—may you enjoy it.” ; :

His forbidden manner had so entirely disappeared, that Effie’s heart was encouraged to undertake another pet plan. -So she demuerely folded the thelnote away in her pritty little erimson Russia pocket-book, she began, so quietly that Ellis was quite captured by storm— . i

“L was wondering’if it would not, be a good plan if weshut up the house for August, dear, and went somewhere. It will do you so mueh good, I’m sure, and there will be no expenses here while we're away. Can’t we go to Hastings ?” ' . oy She opened tlie battery very sudden: ly, almost staggering Tremayne. ~ “Oh, Effie, no. It would involve a larger expense, ten times, than it costs at home.” e R

Then seeing that well-known, mar-tyr-like expression settling on her face, that always drove him to desperation, hé.added hastily— ‘ “If you can manage It, go yourself. I dare say some of your fashionable friends will chaperon you.” e “Oh, may I, may I, really? Indeed I will manage it! I don’t need many new things, I'm sure. 1 have enough for the silk, and with a little more, I can easily get what I absolutely need. Ellis you are a;darling.” He laughed——not very joyously. ﬁ“l am glad you think so. Well, I'm o ." i 3

- Two hours later,Mrs. Effie Tremayne dressed in an unexceptionable elegant walking-costume, started out .on her shopping tour, to meet at the silk counter,Mrs. Godfrey Coddington,carelessly tossing over rare pieces of evening silk, - e “I am go delighted to have your taste

on my new silks, my dear Mrs. Tremayne. Do tell me which you prefer, the isalmon, or the pearl-blue, or this sunnier pink? I intend to have a couple of them for Hastings.” = “Hastings!” | s . Mrs. Tremayne’s cheeks glowed. . “I hope to se@you at the shore, Mrs. Coddington, and in either this exquisite maze or silver pink. . “S 0 you will bethere?

[New England Farmer.] | ° § _ Ever since we can rémember hearing anything siid about the' relative richness:of the morning’s and night’s milk of cows, we have heard if cluimed that the morning’s mess would yield the most butter from a given gquantity of milk, but, until recently, no satisfactory reason has been given why such should be the case. A village friend, who buys milk of a neighbor daily, obtains the "mornipg’s milk every time, and lis wifé sincerely believes that a very perceptible gain is obtained in this way over what there would be if night’s milk was bought instead. The case was referred to usa short time since, with a request forap explanation of the cause of the va: ‘ riation. Ouranswer was, “First prove that ome portion of the milk is richer.” ‘We then gave our friend the theory advanced by recent investigators, that the buttex contained in milk is not only being 'constantly secreted in the udder of the cow, but that it is also being constantly reabsorbed from the milk, and carried;into the circulation, and that the redson why the last milk drawn, the “strippings,” is richer than the first, is not because the eréam had risen. on the milk in thd,mdder as it does in the milk-pan, but| simply because the last milk drawn was secreted last, and had less time to be acted upon by the absorbing power of the udder. | CEd Ty

I send you the fourth and last test made’ at the Ridge Creamery this s@uson upon this question of “tomphrative richness in cream of the night’s ‘and morning’s milk,” as expressed in your weekly of August 17. Professor Williard, in his “Practicdl Butter Book,” on page 53. first drew! my attention to the subject, and I |at once to test the old . beliet that tJle milk taken trom the cow after the night’s rest ‘was the richest, or whether it was to be attributed to the difference Ain intermission of milking, as shown in Protessor. Williard’s work.: The résult obtained incline mel to the conclusion that the professor is, correct and if farmers will milk their cows at regular intérvals of twelve hours, each mess of milk will show equal richness.- During the long days of; July, and when farmers are busy in' Lhe harvest-field the milk taken. from the cows ih the night, Ltimt;‘ had been fully fifteen hours in accumulating, required 5.27 pounds more of milk to, a pound *of butter than the nﬁilk; drawn, from the cow in the morning. InAugustas the days begin to shorten, the farwer having iess demand on his time in the harvest-field and milkingtimes becoming mere equally divided, thie difference in- production became greatly lessened, being only 84 pounds 1 favor of mormng’s milking. In Séptember itT was nearly ‘equal, the morning’s milk being still ahead, but | only .06 pounds. These results you bave already published, and I repeat them in theé last communication us a conveniént reference. Now, in October, as the days hayve become shortened, and the mnights have [bi_come lengthened, the intermission of milkg becoming reversed fioin the Juiy practice, we find the milk received at night produces a pound of butter from 3.52 pyunds less of milk than that received: at morning’s milking. TheBs are the'results obtained after caretul attention to the time the two messes of milk were received, and in each case the same periods for setting Lh% mess¢s were rigidly adhered to. It a pri'vate dairy this experiment could be condueted with more aecurate results than at a creamery, where we' cannot coutrol nor have the means ot ascer"taining the precise timg of the:two milkings. - We can onllé judge from the dfference in the time of delivery. The tests were considered worthy of attention bestowed, and if they prove an incentive Lo some one in be\bt,eqi‘ circumstances to prove this question, I shall feel the time has not been uselessly employed. o /

The Deacon’s Dinner Party.

Deacon Goodman was the very best man that ever lived. Sp at least said his friends and neighbors, who certainly ought to know; and as for enemies, he probably had not.one in the world. 7 It is true, however; that the remark above quoted was generally made as a sort of apologetic preface to something like.the following: “But, then, he has such queer notious; he is s 0: unlike anybody else, that we hardly know what'to make of him.” Perhaps those worthy people were oblivious of the fact, thatin ornder to be very good, it is often a painful necessity to be different from one’s neighbors. i < : : o

i We cannot better illustrate Deacon Goodman’s peculjarities, than by de- ’ scribing a little-entertainment given by him at his country seat, not long ’ ago. For thie Deacon, with all his - unworldly goodness, is a prosperous ~merchantin New York,and thé owner (by perfectly fair means) not only of a brown stone front in the city, but of ‘a charming suburban residence. The Deacon’s wife, though a very good .woman in lier way, was a far less pe‘culiar "personage than her husband. ‘She fell quite gracefully into an ami‘able conformity with the ways of the world, and is not to be distinguished from the thousands of good women—--of the wealthy class—who throngiour city churches. - Their two dauglhters, Miss Adelaide and Miss Ellen, had: just left the restraints of a fashionable school, and enjoyed the prospects of “coming out” another -winter, as full-fledged members;bf society.. | . ~ “Husband,” said Mrs. Goodman,one May morning, soon after the famxily: miration to the country, “husband, you know ‘we did not give that djuuer | that we were proposing last winter; what do you say to haying it here instead? We are so very convenient to'j the city that they can easily come outin coaches.” " by ; ‘

- “You gave a lﬁl‘ge ‘party, did you not;” which included all that should have been there as your invited -dinner guests ?? ' . : B “Dear me, yes! but that was quitea different thing. - Now, at this little affair I am speaking of, I should want only some of onr most particular friends.”’ e ' «QOh! if that’s the plan,l like it well,” rejoined the warm-hearted Deacon. “But why not zisk.th'fgem to pass a week ‘with us?” ; ; i ¢ Ask—whom?” = | W “Well, your brother John’s family first; the children would enjoy it—and then—" @ . H ! A “Oh! you don’t understand me at alll I mean lonly a few of the best families, whose acquintance it.is most desirable to cultivate. =~ ' | “Really, wife, it does not seem quite; honorable to invite guests for ourown: selfish purposes. I can sell hardwire with a good conscience, but the hospitality of my house—” ‘ i “4Vho wants to sell the hospitality of your house.” No, no, my dear, that is another one of your-odd notions. Everybody in society does just as T am proposing. ‘And, after all, this invit-. ing is"doing as we would be done by.”

. “True, true,” said the: Deacon, with amerry laugh. ‘““But why not do chis favor to some one who will value it, to whom it will be a real kindnéss? There are hundreds now whom I could name, 'to whem aday spent among these green trees in the fresh, sweet air of the country would be an event to remember for more than a yeae: Her ke

Lere b “A capital thought, your accountant there is such a splendid. penman; And as for the names, you know the families:to whom we. are under the greatest obligations. I would have the company as select as possible;and I will try and makeithe whole affair pass off finely,” said the worthy lady, beaming alrewdy with amiable complaeency upon her'vrospective guests. The !expected day arrived. Mrs, Goodman and daughters, their elegant toilet at last perfected, were seated in the drawing-room, whose long windows looked aercss a cool veranda, and eommanded the way of approach from the city. ;Though the fingers ‘were occupied wﬁh lfight; fancy work, expectant eyes were' glancing continuously -down the road to meet the first arrival.’ « “No oné will come for an hour yet, you may be sure,” said Mrs. G. “Your father has sach a horror for late hours, that he wanted us to be dressed and waiting by four o'clocky” S il © ¥I never saw an:omnibus on’ this road before,” said Miss Ellen, as one of these plebean vehicles made its appearance over the brow of the large Dilte ey L

“There is another one,” said Adekaide. - : [ “And another,” said Ellen. : : “There is quite a procession of them,” said Mrs. G. : — “And the first one is stopping at the. gate,” eried Ellen. i : i “What in the world can all of those forlorn-looking individuals want out here,” exclaimed Adelaide, in consternation. - : : _“Go down and send them away before our company comes,” said the Deacon’s wife., - : S - “I have seen some of them at the Industrial School,” said Ellen, with a sudden gleam of merriment; “can this be another one of father’s ¢urious sricks 7", B e “It certainly is,” said ‘Adelaide, “for ‘there he comes himself out of the om‘nibus.” sy : Se And in fact the good Deacon was now seen making his way through a crowd of poor people, who stood hum‘bly waiting near the gate, and offering. his arm to a withered old lady in _rusty bombazine, who was amongithe first arrivals.

Mrs. Goodman fortunately had good sense of philosophy to perceive that a state of things which could not be cured, had better be en-. dured with the best grace possible; -and her'innocent guests,though somewhat awe struck at such undreamed of magnificence of apparcl, were all ~unconcious of the struggle—and triumph, too—of grace that was igomﬂg. on, beneath the stadied hospitality _‘:\];ith which the.good ‘lady- received "There was the ola lady in black, ~who proved to be a widow, and utterL ally alone in the WQtld}ii;ﬁbéﬁﬁ‘tﬁﬁ supply of whose wants the Deacon

There were women, too, with'wan faces, who seemed to have never enjoyed the freedom of God’s bléssed air; and puny children in their arms, whose heavy eyes brightened at the sight of green grass -and waving trees. - The older people ‘were seon seated in the house and. on the piazzas, while the children, under .convoy of Miss Ellen, who enfered heartily into the sport of the oecasion, Scattered about in merry games on .the green lawn.

Death Warrant of .Qur Lord, Jesus b i Christ. _ - Probably one of the most interest- | ing, impressive and valuable relics, or fragments of antiquity, which has | “been ‘broug(‘g}nt to light by the, zealous researches of modern science and phil- | osophy, is the subjoined “Death War‘rant of Jesus 'Christ,” ‘which was :found: engraved in relief upon® one - side of a copper plate, in the year 1850, by the Commisgioners of Arts -of the French Armies, while excavating in the ancient city of Aquailla, in the Kingdom of Naples.. ’ﬁlthough : some time has elapsed. since the discovery, yet convinced,'as we are, of its merits as an historical record, and aware of its limited publication. in : American prints, we gladly give it an insertion in our columns. The origis nal is in Hebrew, but has been faithfully tramslated into English, and is here given verbatim: ; S Sentence rendered by Pontius Pilate, acting Governor jof Lower Galilee, stating that Jesus of Nazareth shall - suffer death on the eross.. |

In the year seventeen of the Emperor Tiberius Cesar and the 25th day of March, the Holy City of Jerusalem, Anna and Caiaphus being priests, sac- - rificators of thé people of God, Pon-'xl tius Pilate, Governor of Lower Galilee, condemns Jesus- of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves, the great and notorious evidence of the people saying, = = | ] _ L.

The above transeription is not only invaluable to all christians, but must prove of prime importance to the historian, inasmuch as it is the only profane record of the kind we have of | the slightest’ authen&city. Relative to its discovery, we may state more definitely that it was enclosed in a box of ebony, which itself was likewise enclosed in a vase of white marble, the.whole being found by the gentleman above referred to and the inscription translated by himinto the French language. - - | S e In this comnnection it may not be out of place also to insert a description of our Savior, addressed by the Governor of Judea to the Senate of Rome, found in an ancient manuscript - sent by Publius Lintitors:

Ileis endowed with unparalleled virtuc as ‘to. call, back the ‘dead from their ) graves, and to heal every kindiof dis“ease with word or touchy his:person is tall ‘and elegantly 'shaped ; his aspect amiable, reverend ; his hair falls - in those beautiful shades that no ° united colors could match, falling in graceful curls below his ears, agreea‘bly touching on his; shoulders and - parting on the crowh of the head, like the. sect of the ﬁazarines; his ' forehead is smooth and large; his cheeks without a spot, save that of a lovely red; his nose and mouth are formed with exquisite symmetry; his beard is thick-and suitable to the hair ‘of head, reaching a little above his chin and parting in the middle like 4 fork; his eyes‘are bright, clear and serene; he. rebukes with majesty, counsels with mildness, and invites with the most tender and persuasive ! language, his 'whole address, whether | | in word or deed, being elegant, grave, | and strikingly characteristic of so elegant a being. No man has seen (him laugh, but the whole world beheld him weep frequently, and so persuasive are his rSears that none refrain from joining ini'sympathy with him. He is very moderate, temperate and wise. In short, whatever the phe- . nomenon turns out in the end, he iseems at present like a man for excel‘lent beauty and divine perfection everyway surpassing’ the children of men.”! s .

The sailor, a second mate, quite youthful, ! lay in his narrow bed,his eyes glazing, his limbs stiffening, his breath failing. - It was not pleasant fo die thus in this shaking,plunging ship; but he seemed not to mind his'bodily comfort; his ‘eyes looked far away, and ever and! anon.broke forth that grievous cry— Slf T could only see my mother!” ' An old sailor sat by, the Bible in his hand, from ‘Which he had been reading. He bent above the young man - and asked him why he was seanxious to see the mother he had wilfully et o g : “0! that’s the reason,” he cried, in anguish ; “I’ve nearly broken her heart, and I cannot die in %eac’e. She was a good mother: to me—Oo! so good 4 mother; she bore everything from her, wild boy, and once she said; ‘My son, when you come t‘(idi'e you will rememper this” O! if I could only see my 'mother!” . i | i ‘He never saw his mother. e died with the /yearning upon ‘his lips, as. ‘many a one has died who slighted the 'mother who loved him. .| = Boys, be good to your mothers. .

ELaghtning in a Camp. : - A camp ofsoldiers was lately struck by lightning in France, and the result is a good instance of the effectiveness of points to attract the electric fluid. The tents were full of men and arms, and the cots had iron frames. In one tent three men Vzere‘ killed and seven wounded, all but one being struck ‘either in both legs or on the right leg} That one -was struck i the right eyei In another tent where four men were wounded, the charge entered by both legs or the left one. 'Some men were throWn out of their beds, or turned over in them. The uniforms of the soldiers were perfdgated and showed spots which are said to be “sulphuric- . ed.” One of these will be analyzed. The most ‘*@%;;mwac “of the occurrerice is thie escape of %ntmﬁ ‘which ‘stood near the telegraph line. A soldier standing in front of it was struck, but the tent escaped, the eléctric current ‘;J”x t:; p o v}v}_.‘;h;’ where it bro zen poles, It wwt ~ Lwire.su:mom_‘x&d with points and well connected to the earth.
