A Rural Idyl.

Farmer Grind drew a long deep sigh and stood it up against a slanting sunbeam which came into the barn through a crack in the big door where he was at work. It was just as well to preserve if, for sighs were not as fresh and bright with him as they used to be in days before he had the asthma, so he thought it best to lay it by for future use; in fact, Farmer Grind laid everything by for future use that he could. It was really sad to see this whitehaired old man, this weather-beaten green stump of the forest, bowed down with grief, and the pitiful tears came into lus eyes and ttickled down tv the end of his nose, from which he evexland anon wiped them with the back of his gnarled and brawny hand. “You seem under the influence of a heavy sorrow, Brother Grind,” remarked the young parson, who had entered'unperceived, and seated himself on an upturned horse bucket, while the farmer was stuffing another bunch of straw into the cutter. The farmer looked up from his work with a weary smile of recognition and replied, after he had changed his quid to the other cheek: "Yes, brother, the hand of misfortune has rested heavily upon me. I try to bear it like a Christian, but it’s mighty hard pa’son and it goes powerful agin the grain to be resigned.” “I hope so, my afflicted brother, and trust that I may offer the consolations of religion,” said the parson, sympathetically; “but in what way have you been bereaved ? I hope your wife ——” “Oh, Betsy, she’s all right,” interrupted the farmer.— “And the children; I had not heard? You have not lost any of the children ?” and the parson grew more animated in his interest. “Not as I knows of,” said the farmer, “not a blamed kid; the children are doit g well enough.” “Where, then, has the blow fallen, brother? At what sacred place in the the family circle ha.? the dread shaft of the death angel been turned to bring sadness into, a once happy hbme ( ? The wind, I trust, will be tempered to the shorn lamb.” “The family circle is all serene, pa’son, but as for misfortune, I should rather think I’ve had my share since I saw you. You know that colt—that or’nary plug that uster run in the calflot thar? Well, sir, last spring I—I—” At this point the old man completely broke down, sobbed audibly, and gritted his teeth. “I sold him to Gabe Cummings for S3O and an old hair bridle. “Seems to me that was a fair price,” said the parson. “Seemed to me, at the time, that it war, but this is a weary world, pa’son, and we never know what trials is in ctore fur us. I know, pa’son, you’ll pardon my emotion when I tell you the news that I heerd only this morning. What do you think, but that thar dodblamed fool colt, that I sold for S3O and an old hair bridle, made a mile last Monday in 2:20, and beat Silverton Maid on a SSOO bet, and Gabe Cummings raked in all that wealth. There isn’t much temperin’ of the shorn lamb to the wind in that. I’m the worst shorn lamb you ever see, pa’son, and I" tell you this seems to me a mighty cold day fur lambs. ” Under the shadow of his great misfortune the old man bowed his hoary head over the straw-cutter, and dropped a tear and a large gob of grief into its depths. Some sorrows are too holy to be gazed on by strange eyes. The parson felt that even the consolations of religion would be inadequate in this case, and he tiptoed out of the barn and left the old man with his heart sorrow. — Texas Siftings.

The Germs of Fever.

I have recently had the opportunity of learning, on the spot, the full particulars of a case in which four members of one household were last year attacked with typhoid fever one of them narrowly escaping with her lifeunder circumstances which left no doubt in the mind of the very accomplished physician who had charge of the patients that the malady originated in the opening of an old cess-pool belonging to a neighboring then in course of demolition. The house in which the outbreak took place is large and airy, and stands by itself in a most salubrious situation. The most careful examination, failed to disclose aay de- ’ feci either fn‘ its drainugfe Of-itß water supply; there was no typhoid in the neighborhood; and the milk supply was unexceptionable. But, the neighboring hotise being old, and having been occupied by a school, its removal had been determined on to make way for a house of higher class; and, as the offensive odor emanating from the uncovered cess-pool was at once perceived in the next garden, and the outbreak of typhoid followed at the usual interval, the case seems one which admits of no reasonable question. On the whole, then, the conclusion seems clear, that while the breeding ground of ordinary malarious germs is the earth alone, and the breeding ground of the ordinary exanthemata is the human body alone, there is an,intermediate class of pestilential diseases —including cholera, typhoid, and probably yellow fever —in which (as Mr. Simon tersely expressed it) “certain microphytes are capable of thriving equally, though perhaps in different forms, either within or without the animal body ; now fructifying in . soil or waters of appropriating quality, and now the self-multiplying contagium of a bodily disease.”-— Dr. B. W. Carpenter, in the Nineteenth Century. 4- —* Love makes labor light and suffering sweet The secret of willing, cheerful, joyful service can be discovered in the sw’eet reply of a little girl found busy at the ironing-table smoothing the towels and stockings. “Isn’t that hard work for the little arms?” was asked. A look like sunshine came into her face as she glanced toward her mother, who was rocking the baby. “It isn’t hard work when I do it for mamma,” she said, softly. That’s the secret. Self-control is promoted by humility. Pride is a fruitful source of uneasiness. It keeps the mind in disquiet Humility is the antidote to this evil.— Sigourney. U y

A Railroad Pass.

“Ah, good morning, sir,” said a gentleman in black clothes and white necktie to the ticket agent at the Kentucky Central Depot in Covington. ; “Good morning,” was the polite response. ! ’ “Do you pass clergymen on this road?” “Yes, sir,*nearly always. rt “Ah, thanks. Will you be kind enough to give me a ticket, then, to Lexington ?” “I can’t do it, sir.” “Didn’t you say you passed clergymen?” “Yes, sir; and the conductor on the last train in said he passed a dozen, and Mr. Brown told him it was all right. You’d better see Mr. Brown.” Then he started up stairs after Mr. Brown, and found him at his desk in the corner. “Good morning, Mr. Brown; your ticket agent informs me that you pass clergymen on your road, and the last conductor in passed'a dozen or more. Will you extend the same courtesy to me ?” “Of course,” said the polite officer, “if you will except the same conditions they did.” * “I shall be pleased to do so. I certainly would not ask more than had been accorded my brother clergymen. Will you state the conditions?” “Yes, sir. They were as follows: The gentlemen in question, a dozen, I think stood on the platform of a small station up the road, waiting for an accommodation train, and the conductor on the through train passed them all; ev§ry one of them, sir. Never stopped any more than if there wasn’t any station there, and they came on the accommodation fifteen minutes afterward, and paid half fair as usual. The The next train for Lexington starts in five minutes and you’d better hurry if you want to go there.” He hurried.— Merchant Traveler

Horace Greeley’s Sorrow.

We publish below a pathetic letter written by Mr. Greeley on the death of his little boy. Notwithstanding the fact that more than thirty years have passed since the words were written, they will awaken sympathy in many a heart that has known a similar grief: MY Friend: The loss of my boy makes a great change in my feelings, plans, and prospects. The joy of my life was comprehended in his, and I do not now feel that any personal object can strflngly move me henceforth. I had thought of buying a country place, bjut ■it was forhiin. I had begun to love flowers and beautiful objects, because he liked them. Now, all that deeply concerns me is the evidence that we shall live hereafter, and especially that we shall live with and know those we loved here. I mean to act my part while life is spared me, but I no longer covet length of days. If I felt sure on the point of identifyirfg and being with our loved ones in the world to come, I would prefer not to live long. As it is, I am resigned to whatever may be divinely ordered. *• * * We had but few hours to prepare for our loss. He went to bed as hearty and happy as ever. At sa. m’. he died. * * * His mother had bought him a fiddle the day before, which delighted him beyond measure; and he was only induced to lay it up at night by his delight at the idea of coming up in the morning and surprising me by playing on it before I got up. In the morning at daylight I was called to his bedside. The next day I followed him to his grave! You cannot guess how go’den and lovely his long hair (never cut) looked in the coffin. ♦ * * Fickle was '5 years old last March. So much grace and wit and poetry were rarely or never blended in so young a child, and to us his form and features were the perfection of beauty. We can never have another child; and life cannot be long enough to efface, though it will temper, this sorrow. It differs in kind as well as degree fi’om that we have hitherto experienced. Hobace Greeley. —New York Herald.

Keep Dry !

Is an admonition we see on boxes of perishable merchandise in transitu, but it is also one which should be carefully observed by those who have a tendency to rheumatism. In addition to avoiding damp and keeping dry-shod, they who are rheumatic should use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a blood depurent professionally indorsed and of the highest order ot merit. By promoting healthful activity of the kidneys and bladder it insures tne expulsion through those natural outlets, ot impurities in the blood which give rise to Bright's disease, diabetes, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, and dropsical effusions. It induces bodily comfort by day and untroubled repose at night; conquers dispepsia, diverts bile Trom the blood into its proner channel, relaxes the bowels gently, but effectually, and is a reliable means of restoring vigor and hastening convalescence, Mariners, toilers In the mine, and residents of unhealthy localities, find it a safeguard under conditions unfavorable to health.

Canada’s Treatment of the Indian.

Canadian statesmen say that the Indians in the States would not cost any more than they do if Congress boarded them all at the rnth Avenue Hotel, whereas in Canada each Indian costs a little less than would keep a private in the army. There are about a quarter of a million Indians split up into little bands, whose reserves are sprinkled over the land like the lakes of Maine. The Government keeps an account with each band, sells for them what lands are not wanted, and holds $3,000,000 ifi trust for them. It instructs them in farming, provides them with implements, seeds and cattle, instructs their children, and feeds all who qeed food with pork and grain. Already the home farms, where the savages were shown hpw to till the soil, are rapidly being closed up, and the rations of food are being withdrawn from one band after another as the Indians manifest ability to store and preserve their crops through the winters. Nearly all the Indians do something toward self-support. Some make baskets, some make snowshoes and toboggans, others sell furs, others make barrels, others catch fish, and so on. Five years ago the .Slackfeet were on the war path. Now almost every family has a house and farm.— New York Sun. . <

THE GOLDEN AGE. There was a time, though far removed from But this as truth all histories declare,— When Infants decked the lion’s mane with flowers. And peace and love weee regnant everywhere. Beauty no bought or borrowed charms did wear, But hardly her rounding iorm displayed. While the rich glowing cheek and rippling hair No more might crave of artificial ala Than does the wild-wood rose, or ferns in forest glade. A strength gigantic nerved the limbs of men. Labor was pastime, hardships moved a smile. No hollow coughs disturbed night's stillness • then, 1 ~ • .. —————• — No thoughts of gloom were bred by morbid bile. And life was lengthened out a wondrous while; ’ The strong man stood for denturies in his pride. Bugged as is the peaked Egyptian pile. Till by descendants girt on every Bide, Bis blessings calm he gave, ere painlessly he died. This was the Age of Gold;—but how its end Was wrought, they tell this strange and mythic tale: A youth, resigned a lonely life to spend. Saw to his door wing-footed Mercury sail. Leading a girl whom lilies of the vale Could not in fresh-bloom beauty emulate; Nor did the fair Pandora feign to quail When Mercury told the raptured youth that fate To him this charmer gave, to be his wedded mate. A bridal present in her hands she bore, — A box, of quaint and exquisite design. Which when her husband oped,—Oh, what a store Of horrors did that casket dire enshrine! For from it forth flew each disease malign That ever since on human frames has preyed, r And, spreading o'er the earth, did Man consign To countless agonies that should invade * Each vital source, till all his stalwart strength decayed! Then must the weakened frame and shortened life. Sad legacies!—to all his after race descend, Till now existence is but constant strife Against a host of ailments without end, AS still each shattered bark we strive to mend. The Iron Age, that with Pandora came, Does yet o’er earth its grinding rule extend, And sickness joins with poverty to tame Souls that might else a place of pride and honor claim! But when had flown forth all the killing woes That in Pandora’s fatal casket lay, Lo!—from its depths released, sweet Hope arose. As breaks through sable clouds a sun-lit ray, And as she rose, she sang, “Mourn not for aye! Some balm shall yet for all these pangs be found. Not with vain show do Nature’s stores display These trees and herbs that beautify the ground. Since in them lurk the charms to make your sick ones sound!" To find the balm pledged in this promise dear, Were many hearts through many ages fired, Until, to search our country’s forests here A young physician came, with soul inspired, And found at last, 'midst secret shades retired. The herbs and roots that had neglected grown. And nurtured in their veins the boon desirqfl. While o’er them many a summer’s moon had shone. And many a wintry snow those treasures had bestrewn. ■ ; ‘ Long used to ponder o’er the ills of Man, What rapture now in Pierce’s bosom rose! For he had marked the source from whence began 4 The worst and deadliest of our body’s woes. Anatomy’s keen knife did well disclose , What organ, from its duty warped away, Becones the spring from which envenomed flows The principle of sickness and decay, Though by a thousand names its work we may portray! The Liver, formed to keep Life’s ruby tide Cleansed of each taint, and play a guardian’s part By drawing each corrupting germ aside, — Was now compelled, by fell Disease’s art. To prove a traitor, and upon the heart And panting lungs, a poisoned stream to pour. Op ng the way fpr dread Consumption's dart, And fatal stings of many an ailment more. Thus bidding countless homes their slaughtered hopes deplore! Thence come the wasted form, the sallow cheek, The embittered tongue, and often-aching head, And hence the livid face, with hectic streak Displayed as Nature’s danger-signal red. Hence, over many an else fair visage spread Unsightly blotches and eruptions vue. Or hideous Scrofula does horror shed. Killing Love’s glow, and freezing Friendship’s smile. Or the scorched heart consumes With black and burning bile! At once Pierce in his blest Discovery saw That which the very root of all should find, And, by the workings ot unerring law. Drive out the foe that thus life undermined, And with benignant tore?, and wisdom kind. The shattered main-spring of our frames reSair, ile no longer, like a giant blind, Might mischief work, but his true part should bear To make this mortal mould strong, vigorous and fair. This remedy our trembling hearts shall arm Against Malaria’s fiend, though wide his reign, For small would be his power to work us harm . Did not some drops of poison in each vein. Traitors in our own citadel, remain. Pure blood and healthful bile shall interpose Celestial shields, while on our brows in vain His foetid breath the marsh-bred demon blow s, ‘ For these have proved his most victorious foes 1 Here rescue comes to those whose bodies thrill Beneath the Ague's keen consuming touch, While scorching fever arid congealing chill Alternate wring the victim in their clutch. The healing aid, so often sought for such. Is here at last, and, by our swamps and streams. Best those who have endured so much?: . And. .toe. thair- write iid-rMss • dreams. Shall slumbers sweet prevail, till break each morning’s beams! Thus do we foil Consumption’s slow advance. That o’er Columbia stalks, with stern control. For oft the ills we’ve touched, with speedy glance. Conclude in thin. their dark and fatal goal. And with most joy it shone on Pierce’s soul That here he smote his country’s chiefest foe, And quelled that malady that of the whole Dark list did darkest its death record show, — A Hydra, .all whose heads he lopped atone brat a blow! Now, then, the new-found remedy to mine: Perhaps the choice, at first, perplexing seemed To the discoverer’s brain, till, like a flame, “Tlt.e Golden Medical Discovery" beamed Before his vision, and was worthy deemed To herald to mankind that precious meed That should o'er other potions be esteemed As gold o’er baser ores, and was decreed. By bringing health and strength, to make men rich, indeed! Mark, upon Shakspeare’s page, how wild Macbeth Tells us, in phrase not oft well understood. That his crowned victim, Duncan, lay in death, "His silver skin laced with his golden blood.* And richer far is life's all-precious blood, S When by yon great Discovery purified. Than the bright metal (fortune's folded bud). That, sought so often, by mountain, vale or tide. - Doth in auriferous veins of California hide! But. oh, delay not to ward oS the shaft Until a mortal wound has pierced you through I Now let the healing antidote be quaffed. E’er venom can its work completely do. Yon flower -whose withered petals now bestrew The earth shall soon, from Spring’s exhaustless store, » Be gifted with fresh leaves and blossoms new. But Man's frail organs, when destroyed, no more , Can genial suns revive, or earthly skill restore! Woman no longer plays Pandora's part, Garing with cold and curious smile, to see The unshared evils that afflict Man's heart. Alas! earth’s greatest Sufferer is she. The guiltless prey of wasting agony. Her path beset with countless springs of pain. Thus speedily th-- charms of beauty flee. And all the toil t’s arts are plied in vain Health's c ear and blooming hue and roundness to re.ain. ' The playful, dimpled child, to girlhood grown. Is seen bereft, at • nee, of strength and bl- om.

Dark o'er the parents' hearts roll clouds of gloom, And, as new symptoms strike their fearing Sight, Prophetic fancy shows the untimely tomb Of their lost darling, once so glad and bright, But, in her budding sweet, struck with insidioui blight! , Or gaze on her who was the radiant bride, Now a sad prisoner, spiritless and weak;— What nauseous draughts, what penance has she tried. Some ease from grinding misery to seek! ’ Wonder not should her fretted spirit wreak “Itself in accents peevish or severe, Followed by tears that burn the faded cheek When she beholds that even those most dear Avoid her weary couch of woe to Unger near! Now, should Earth's gilded days no more return. Our blest Discovery docs its power engage That, with those wise its virtues to discern.

Love for a Mother.

Next to the love of her husband, nothing so crowns a woman’s life with honor as the devotion of a son to her. We never knew a boy to turn out badly who began by falling in love with his mother. Any .man may fall in love with a fresh-faced girl, and the man who is gallant to the girl may cruelly neglect the poor, weary wife in after years. But the big boy who is a lover of his mother, at middle age is a true knight, who will love his wife in the sear leaf of autumn as he did in the daisied spring. There is nothing so beautifully chivalrous as the love of a big boy for his mother. — Cottage Hearth.
