SAYINGS,

An* JT*e SaUt Them First, Many of our common sayings, bo trite and pithy, are used 'without the least idea from whose month or pen they first originated. Perhaps the works of Shakspeare famish as with more of these familiar maxims than any other writer, for to him we owe—- “ All is not gold that glitters," “Make a virtue of necessity, ” “Screw your courage to the sticking plaoe” (not point), “They laugh that win," “This is the short and long of it,” “Comparisons are odious,” “As merry as the day is long," “A Daniel oome to judgment,” “Frailty, thy name is woman,” and a host of others. Washington Irving gives us “The Almighty Dollar, ” Thomas Morton queried long ago, “What will Mrs. Grundy say ?” while Goldsmith answers, “Ask me no questions and M tell you no fibs.” Charles Pickney gives us “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.” “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow-citizens” (not countrymen), appeared in the resolutions presented to the House of Representatives in December, 1790, prepared by Gen. Henry Lee. From the same we cull “Make assurance doubly sure,” “Christmas comes but once a year,” “Count their chickens ere they are hatched,”’ and “Look before you leap.” Thomas Tasser, a writer of the sixteenth century, gives us, “It’s an ill wind turns no good,” “Better late than never,” “Look ere thou leap,” and “The stone that is rolling can gather no moss.” “All cry and no wool” is found in Butler’s “Hudibras.” Dryden says: “None but the brave deserve the fair,” “Men are but children of a larger growth,” and “Through thick and thin.” “When Greeks join Greeks then was the tug of war,” Nathamal Lee, 1692. “Of two evils I have chosen the least, ” and “The end must justify the means, ” are from Matthew Prior. We are indebted to Colley Cibber for the agreeable intelligence that “Richard is himself again.” Johnson tells us of “A good hater,” and Macintosh in 1791, the phrase often attributed to John Randolph, “Wise and masterly inactivity.” “Variety’s the very spice of life, ” and “Not much the worse for wear, ” Cowper. “Man proposes, but ■ God disposes,” Thomas a Kempis. Christopher Marlowe gftve forth the invitation so often repeated by his brothers in *a less public way, “Love me little, love me long.” Edward Coke *yas of the opinion that “A man’s house is his castle.” To Milton we owe “The paradise of fools,” “A wilderness of sweets” and “Moping melancholy and moonstruck madness.” Edward Young tells us, “Death loves a shining mark,” “A fool at 40 is a fool indeed.” From Bacon comes “Knowledge is power, and Thomas Southerne reminds us that “Pity’s akin to love.” Dean Swift thought that “Bread is the staff of life.” Campbell found that “Coming events cast their shadows before,” and “’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.” “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” is from Keats. Franklin said, “God helps those who help themselves and Lawrence Sterne comforts with the thought, “God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb. ”

DICKENS AND SPIRITUALISM.

Few people know that Dickens was a Spiritualist. Yet he was. And it is my own remembrance of his experience in these two things that I now wish to relate. One of his great friends m the quiet circle of his acquaintance was the wife of a leading London physician. She was a mesmerist and a Spiritualist, and it was from her teaching that an interest was aroused in his mind upon these two subjects. He came in one night with a nervous headache, and said to his friend: “Now, Mary, try your mesmeric hand bn me, and see if you can do my head good.” Seating himself on the carpet at her feet, she gently passed her hands through his hair, from his forehead backward, for about five minutes, at the same time breathing upon the crown of bis bead, and then, with a look of satisfaction to me, called my attention to the fact that he was sound asleep. Continuing her manipulations for a few minutes more, she finally shook him rudely in an endeavor to awaken him; but be was too far gone. Calling a servant she had him conveyed to the room he often used when there. He was undressed and put in bed. I remained by his side for six hours, and during the whole of that time be slept as soundly as a new-born babe. When he

awoke be was completely surprised to find himself there, and it took him some minutes to recall to his mind the fact that for the,first. time in his life he hod allowed his friend to mesmerize him, and willingly let himself succumb to the influence. He never afterward doubted the power of mesmerism or magnetism, or whatever it may be tertned. But it was some two years before he could ever be prevailed upon to believe that he contained a large amount of magnetio power.— Argonaut.

IN A TIGHT FIX.

John Lyons, while at work in the shaft of his mine near Tres Alamos, had just put in a blast and lighted the fuse, when, on reaching the top of the shaft, he beheld four mounted Apaches rapidly approaching. As they saw him emerge they increased their pace, and their fiendish yells relieved Mr. Lyons of all doubts as to their intentions toward himself. For an instant he was paralyzed with terror. Being entirely unarmed, resistance was not to be thought of, while escape by flight was equally impossible. His first impulse was to hurl himself into the shaft and be blown to atoms by the explosion of the blast rather than perish miserably at the hands of the remorseless fiends who had him at their mercy. These reflections occupied only a moment’s time, but the Apaches were almost upon him. Suddenly, with the instinct of despair, Mr. Lyons threw himself behind a pile of rock close at hand, and at the same instant the blast at the bottom of the shaft exploded -with terrific effect, throwing a shower of roek and debris high in the air, which was followed by a dense volume of smoke rolling up from the shaft. The Indians, who were now sure of their victim, halted a moment at the unexpected, and, to them; mysterious eruption, then, with a yell, not of triumph but of rage, mingled with terror, wheeled their horses and galloped off in the direction whence they came. Mr. Lyons could at first scarcely realize that he had escaped almost miraculously from a horrible death, but, as soon as he had recovered from his amazement, departed for Tres Alamos, meeting on the road a party of neighbors going out to search for his remains, they having seen the Indians heading in the direction of the mine, and not doubting but Mr. Lyons had fallen a \ictim of savage ferocity.— Tombstone ( Arizona ) Epitaph.

A FORGETFUL CHIEF JUSTICE.

Chief Justice Jones of New York was so fond of society that he never declined an invitation to a dinner or to an evening party. But “his Honor” was a forgetful and an over-worked man, and his desk at home, where he studied his cases, was loaded with papers 'of the most miscellaneous character. When the desk could hold no more he would put the papers into a basket, and then the process of accumulation would go on as before. One day the Chief Justice, needing a certain paper, rummaged through the well-filled basket and found an invitation to a party. That evening he dressed himself, and, about 9 o’clock, walked into the house of his friend arrayed in white kids, white cravat, swallow-tailed coat, and in the other essentials of a party suit. On being ushered into the parlor he found, to his surprise, the host sitting there alone, reading his paper, but no signs of a party. “I’m afraid I have made a mistake, sir,” said the Chief Justice, after the cordial greeting of his friend. “If you have,” was the courteous reply, “I am obliged to the mistake, for it has given me the honor of your company.” “But haven’t you a party to-night?” “No, sir.” “Is not that from you, sir?” asked the Judge, as he drew forth a small note from his pocket. “Certainly, Judge,” replied the host “bqt that was for this day of the month last year, when I recollect that we had the pleasure of your cqmpany. ” Youth’B Companion.

A stand fell down with a crash, A number of men it did mash, But the entire ten Were soon well again— St. Jacobs Oil cured every gash. A baker who lives in Duluth, Went crazy one night with a tooth, He rubbed the gum boil, With St. Jacobs Oil, It cured him, and this is the truth. About 4,000 boats and 25.000 fishermen are engaged in the sardine industry on the French coast. There are about 200 factories, in which 15,000 to 17,000 women are employed- A good catch for a boat would be 25,000 fish a day, for which they get about thirtyfive francs.

Mr. 8. CL Garmo, of Springfield, 0., writes: "I want every one to know that I was cored of dyspepsia, heartDum, sour stomach and other disagreeable symptoms of weak digestive organs, by using only ope bottle of Dr. Guvsott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. My stomach now readily digests any kind of food."

THE MOST WONDERFUL THING.

A correspondent asked a Zuni chief who came East: “What of all you saw in youir journey impressed you most with the superiority of the white men over the Indians?” The father of the Zunis turned his eyes toward me, and answered slowly: “The ease with which they can get water. The white man takes the river into the walls of his house. By turning a little iron stick he can get that which we pray for all our lives!” This was to the mind of the Zuni, the inhabitant of the barren, rainless land, the triumph of civilization. I asked him if he wanted to go back to the States, and he said: “Yes; I grow strong with anxiety that I may go again.” —Chicago Inter Ocean.

Medical Bubbles.

Columns would be required to enumerate the medical bubbles that have risen to the surface and burst since Hostetter's Stomach Bitters became the standard tonic of the Western Hemisphere. Boasts the most extravagant, fabrications the most preposterous, cant the most slokening, have in turn been employed to bolster up the worthless preparations that have, from time to time, been Introduced in the hope of dividing the field with that most famous vegetable remedy. Signal failure has been the lot of each and all. The reputation of the Bitters as a preventive of epidemics, a stomachic, an invigorant, a general restorative, and a specific for fever and ague, indigestion, bilious affections, rheumatism, nervous debility, constitutional weakness, and all complaints u> which the more sensitive sex are exclusively liable, is established upon the sound basis of more than twenty years’ experience, and can no more be shaken by the clap-trap nostrums of unscientific pretenders than the everlasting hills by the winds that rustle through their defiles. The reason that girls lace so tight in these days is because the young man comes short of duty.

THE ONYX STONE PLENTIFUL.

The onyx stone, on which the most valuable cameos and intaglios are cut, is so plentiful on the Uruguay river in Brazil that it is used by ships for ballast. Cameo portraits cut to life cost all the way from SSO to $250. The process of cutting consists of holding the stone up to revolving drills, whose soft steel ends are covered with diamond dust. No steel can be made hard enough to drill the onyx. Even chrome steel will not do it, and that is so hard that a drill made from it will cut through an ordinary file. No acid will affect the onyx, and it will stand the greatest heat of the furnace if the heat is applied gradually. *#* “The best advice may come too late," said a sufferer from Kidney troubles, when asked to try Kidney-Wort ‘♦l’ll try it, but it will be my last dose. ” The man got well, and is now recommending the remedy to all sufferers. In this case, good advice came just in time to save the man. An Irishman looking at a thermometer remarks that it is strange so small a thing could feel the cold so much. Jeffebson City, Mn—Dr. J. 0. Riddler says: "Persons who u j .e Brown’s Iron Bitters always speak' well of it It is a good medicine. ” No matteb how loose an engagement-ring may be, the diamond never slips around ou the inside of & lady’s finger.

Pjnkham’k Vegetable Compound strengthens the stomach and kidneys, and aids digestion. Women’s heads are like safes— yon can’t tell how much they have in them by the number of looks they have on Ottumwa, lowa.— Dr. J. N.
