Immortality. It is an undoubted fact that the desire for immortality which once animated poets, statesmen, soldiers, and orators, to the exclusion of nearly every oth?r high thought, has, to some degree at least, gone out of fashion. And it is well that it is so. What more ridiculous thing can a man labor after than for fame after In. is dead? Those who have achieved it have usually been people who have not striven after it, and have merely gone about the work for which nature had fitted them in a patient, conscientious spirit, willing to give the world their best efforts for what it had to give in return. They were not always posing as heroes who were to be celebrated in future ages. They went upon their way without dreaming of the immortality for which many weaker men toiled and struggled in vain; and they were cheerful, healthful spirits, without morbid longings after the plaudits of posterity. It was enough for them if they pleased their fellows, and made the people about them better and happier for their work. In doing th s they were, without knowing it, making preparat’on to add to tho felicity of generat ions yet unborn. Shakspeare, we believe, was a man of this kind. He wrote plays for representation in his day, without a thought of the critics and commentators that were to come. His aim was to please his patrons, not some intangible beings who were to live in a shadowy hereafter, and who were to applaud his productions to the echo. He gave the multitude the choicest products of his fertile, vigorous brain, because ho knew they needed strong intellectual food, and were willing to pay for it. The consequence was that lie retired in middle life, with an ample fortune, to enjoy the results of his writings, as a gentleman of leisure in his native town. He was no whining poet complaining of the neglect of his own age, and hop ng for the applause of another. He had a healthful, strong mental and physical organization, that never allowed him to give way to foolish fits of despondency. He kept at work until he had accomplished his ends, and then was content to leave the field to others and to rest from his labors, without trying to lift the veil of futurity to see what his standing would be in tho years that were yet unborn. And what is immortality, after all? It is only a breath—-a name. We say that Shakspeare was a great man, and even this is denied. There are certain wiseacres who come forward and try to prove that his plays were written by Lord Bacon. They cannot understand, even in this republican country, that a man may be a great one without having en joyed the advantage of a scholastic education. They forget that nature gives brains, and that tho schools only discipline them, and that sometimes the best practical education is attained by attrition and contact with the world.

Immortality, then, is not worth striving after. Do your duty, whatever it may bo in tho present, and if it is your lot to be remembered a hundred or more years hence, hope that it may be for some great good that you have done your fellow-man.— Atnerieait CulllI vator. The Salary of a Jockey. If any one believes that horse-racing is not an expensive business when one’s horse doesn’t win, Lu has only to look about him to be satisfied. A stable of say twelve horses, or even eight, is not kept up short of from 8 10 to $75 a day, exclusive of jockey fees and railway transportation. There is a trainer at a salary of from $l5O to S2OO a month, a foreman at from $75 to SIOO, and there i are generally two darky grooms for ■ each horse. Then there is the feed- ■ stable outfit to be kept up, and an end- ■ less array of little things to be bought. Then there are the entry fees and forfeits, that in the course of the season amount to a great deal of money. The jockeys take a great deal out of the jirolits, too, when there are any. Jko Murphy, tho colored jockey, who enjoys the distinction of being called the Archer of America, receives $6,000 a year from Baldwin for the first call on his services, and $2,000 a yeLr from ! Corrigan for the second call. That is, when Baldwin has a horse in a race ' Murphy must mount for him. When j Baldwin has no entry, or it is with- ' drawn, then Corrigan can call on tbe jockey. When neither has a horse on, I then Murphy can ride for the owner i that pays him best. What ith sala- । ries, fees, gratuities, and a turn now ; and then at the pool box, Murphy is । said to have an income of $15,000 a year. When he wins a big and unex- | pected stake the lucky owner usually : gives him from SSOO to SI,OOO as a present. The next best paid of the jockeys is Duffy, rider for the Haggin stable. He receives $5,000 a year straight, andean ride for anybody else when Haggin lias no horse in the race. These are the two best riders on the turf. Many may think it absurd that jo. keys should be enabled to earn such large sums, but, when the hazardous nature of the business; is taken into account and the skill and judgment required considered, the boys do not seem overpaid. It is the most dangerous occupation in the world. The liability of horses to bolt, stumble, to shy, or to do any of the dozen things that horses under excitement are likely to do, is almost sure to result in disaster if indulged in at tho frightful speed with which they go. Again, some horses—indeed, most race-horses of high blood and mettle—are inclined to be vicious and headstrong. They frequently run away in their exercising and training gallops and become uncontrollable. Such brutes are a constant menace to grooms and jockeys, and accidents are far more numerous than the pu«blic hears of.— Chicago Herald. Hei metical Sealing. A German writer recommends the use of paraffine in place of co ks or other stoppers for the hermetical sealing of bottles containing liquids which have a tendency to ferment or otherwise deteriorate by coming in contact with the air. This, he says, is particularly applicable to saccharine juices of all kinds. These are poured, while hot, into perfectly dry bottles, which are filled nearly to the lip; they are then allowed to stand and rest until cold, during which time all air bubbles will rise to the surface; finely a small quantity of paraffine is poured over the top, when it forms a firm, solid coat, । on cooling, about the tenth of an inch I thick. Such a paraffine stopper has | the advantage of being easily removai ble when the contents of the bottle are j required for use, and the paraffine can । be used again. I Mr. Geo. W. Walts, General Agent, Freight Department, Union Pacific Railway, San Francisco, Cal., says: “I have derived much benefit from tho u^e of Red Star Cough Cure in cases of coughs and colds.” No opiates.

A Detroiter who recently paid a visit to Harper’s Ferry accosted a citizen with: “I suppose you know all about old John Brown?” “John Brown—old John Brown? Did he live here?” “Why, I mean John Brown, who tried to free the slaves.” “ Wanted to free the slaves, eh ? Did ho have any middle name?” “I am. speaking of John Brown, who got up the insurrection.” “Yes, I suppose you are. Got up an insurrection, did he? He shouldn’t have done it. When did he leave here ?” “Is it possible you have never heard of John Brown ?” “Seems to me I have heard his name mentioned here. What did the insurrection amount to, and who insurrected ?” “He captured the engine-houee down there. Haven’t you ever read the sign on the building ?” “Lots of times, but I didn’t suppose it amounted to anything. John Brown? John Brown? How old a man was he?” “Nevermind,” replied the Detroiter. “I’ll probably find some one hero who can tell me what I want to know.” “Let’s go out together, then. You’ve got my curiosity excited, and I’d really like to know who he was, and what reaspns he had for leaving the place. Say we go and ask the bridge-tender, lie’s a great h ind to remember picnics and insurrections.” — Detroit Free Press. A Yollowinli Coat Upon tho tongue, particularly near its base, is of itself sufficient to denote biliousness, an ailment to tlio development of which the hot weather —it xnay bo remarked in passing—is extremely favorable, and which autumn often brings in its train as a lingering legacy. If not remedied —which it speedily may bo with Hostettor’s Stomach Bitters—then follow aggravated disorder of the stomach and bowels, dull pains beneath tho lower right ribs, nausea and headache. A prompt use of this invaluahlo specific is always desirable, no matter what tho season. Upon the liver it exerts an iiifinonce directly beneficial. Tho bile, tho obstruction to its flow being relieved by the relaxation of tho bowels, returns to its natural channel, and the portion of it which lias forced its vav into and contaminated the hloo 1. is expelled. The stomach also resumes its digestive function. Rheumatism, fever and ague, and kidney troubles also succumb to the Bitters.

Don’t Know When to Stop. How few people know when to stop. If the preacher knew when to stop preaching, how much grander tho effect of his sermons might be. If the genial fellow knew when to stop telling his good stories, how much keener their relish would be. If tho moralizer knew when to stop moralizing, how much longer the flavor of his philosophy would remain. If the friend knew when to keep still, how grateful his silence would be. If the frank and candid creature who tells us our faults knew’ when to hold his tongue, how much less strong our impulse to strangle him would become. If the high li.er knew when to stop eating, how much less sure dyspepsia would be. If the popular man kneav when to withdraw, how much more regretfully we should see him go. If the politician knew when to retire into private life, how much whiter his record would lie. If we all know just when to die, and could bring it about, how much truer our epitaphs would be. The court fool who prayed, “Oh, God, be merciful to me, a fool,” prayed deeper than he knew; but the man who prays, “Oh, God, teach me to know when I have said enough,” shall pray deeper still.— “ Amber,” in Chicago Journal. Mr. J. E. Bonsal, New Bloomfield, Pa., cl> rk of the s veral courffi of Perry Co., Pa., wa; alllicted with rheun ’tism for more th in thirty years. After span ng hundreds of dollars with different physicians, and trying every known remedy without benefit, he used St. Jacobs Oil, which effected an entire cure. The sense of smell is so little thought of that its extreme delicacy even is not appreciated. A recent writer says: “Despite the comparative insignificance of this sense in man, its delicacy is most marvelous, and by it we can appreciate more minuto subdivisions of matter than by any other avenues to the brain.” Prof. Valentine has cal ulated that the actual amount of oil of roses necessary to excite a sense of smell, or bo detected by the human nose, is only one onehundred and twenty-thousandth of a grain. Other experimenters have discovered that there are other substances of which even a less amount will make itself known to the olfactory sense. For instance, mercaptan, or sulphurated alcohol, will impress this sense when subdivided to the extent of onebillionth of a grain—a subdivision more easily calculated than comprehended. Therefore, if any one should work out a complete and practical system of osmic therapeutics, or nose cure, the infinitesimal portions of substance required would make it a cheap as well as ready method. Hahnemann, the father of horn i opathy, resorted to this method of treatment, but did not reduce it to a science, or even develop it enough to encourage a continuance of the practice among his disciples and followers.— Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly.

The great trouble about rules of etiquette for society is, that to some they become cast-iron, and stand su-j perior to common sense and courtesyt —Demorest’s Monthly. n
