FUNNY SIGHTS.
I saw a cow-hide In the grass,
A rush-light on the floor;
I saw a candle-stick in mad,
And a bell-punch at the door.
I saw a horse-fly up the creek,
A cat-nip at her food :
I a chestnut-burr, and beard
A shell-bark In the wood.
saw a Jack-plane off a board,
A car-nprtpg off t he track;
I saw-dust off the floor.
And then a carpet-tack.
I saw a monkey-wrench a hat
From a fair lady's pate;
I saw a rattle-snake a bird,
And bogs-head on the piate.
I saw a brandy-smash a glass,
I saw a shooting s :ar,
I heard the corn-stalk In the Held,
And pig-iron crow-bar.
I saw a pin-wheel off a post,
And wheel-wrlght in a shop,
I saw a gin-sling up on a bar
I saw a ginger-pop.
I saw a house-fly over a field,
I saw an ox-roast, too;
I saw a shad-roe and a clam-bake,
And saw a cnlcken-stew.
I saw a sword-fish from a bank,
I heard the water-spout ;
I saw tobacco-spit, and then
I beard an eye-bawl out.
I saw a fence-rail at the din,
I heard a waist-band play
A lovely strain a sweet spit-toon
And then I went away.
A Modern Sermon.
The following, says an English pa
per, exhibits the method upon which
the average parson constructs his de
lectable discourse:
"Brethren, the words of my text
are:
oid Mother Hubbard, she went to the cup
board, Tn rat tier nonr doe a bone :
But when she got there, the cupboard was
bare,
And bo the poor dog had none.'
"These beautiful words, dear
friends, carry with them a solemn
lesson. I propose this evening to
analyze their meaning, ana t at
tempt to apply it, lofty as it may be,
to our every day lite,
"Old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cup
board.
To get her poor dog a bone.'
"Mother Hubbard, you see, was old,
there being no mention of others, we
may presume that she was aione; a
widow a friendless, old solitary
widow. Yet did she despair I Did
she sit down and wepp, or read a
novel, or wring her hands? No! she
went to the cupboard. And here ob
serve that she went to the cupboard
She did not hop, or skip, or run, or
jump, or use any peripatetic artifice;
bbe solely and merely tcent to tne
cupboard.
"We have seen that she was old
and lonely; and we now further see
that she was poor, t or, mark, the
words are 'the cupboard.' Not 'one of
the cupboards, or the 'right-hand
cupboard,' or the 'left-hand cup
board,' or the one above, or the one
beiow, or the one under the floor,
but iust the cupboard. The one hum
fole little cupboard the poor widow
possessed. And why did she go to
the cupboard? Was it to bring iortb
golden goblets or glittering precious
stones, or costly apparel, or leasts,
or any other attributes of wealth?
It was to get her poor dog a bone! Not
only was the widow poor, but her
dog, the sole prop of her age, was
poor too. We can imagine the scene.
The poor dog crouching in the cor
ner, looking wistfully at the solitary
sri n hna rrl nrl t.hn wiilnw (miner tn
that cupboard in hope, in expecta
tion, may be to open it, although
we are not distinctly told that it was
not half open or ajar, to open it for
that poor dog.
" 'But when she got there the cupboard was
bare,
And so the poor dog had none.' "
" 'When she got there!' You see,
dear brethren, what perseverance is.
You see the beauty ol persistence in
doing right. She got there. There
were no turnings and twistings, no
slippings or slidings, no leaning to
the right or falterings to the left.
With glorious simplicity we are told
she got there.
"And how was her noble effort
rewarded?
"'The cupboard was bare!' It
was bare. There was to be found
neither apples nor oranges, nor
cheesecakes, nor penny buns, nor
gingerbread, nor crackers, nor nuts,
nor lucifer matches. The cupboard
was bare! There was but one, only
one solitary cupboard in the whole
of that cottage, and that one, the
sole hope of the widow, and the
glorious loadstar of the poor dog,
was bare! Had there been a leg of
mutton, a loin of lamb, a fillet of
veal, even an ice from Gunter's, the
case would have been different, the
incident would have been otherwise.
But it was bare, my brethren, bare
as a bald head, bare as an infant
born without a caul-
"Many of you will probably say,
with all the pride of worldly sophis
try 'The widow, no doubt, went out
and bought a dog biscuit.' Ah, no!
Far removed from these earthly
ideas, these mundane desires, poor
Mother Hubbard, the widow, whom
many thoughtless worldlings would
despise, in that she only used one
cupboard, perceived or I might
even say saw at once the relentless
logic of the situation, and yielded to
it with all the heroism of that nature
which had enabled her without devi
ation to reach the barren cupboard.
She did not attempt, like the stiff
necked scoffers of this generation, to
war against the inevitable; she did
not try, like the so called men of
science, to explain what she did not
understand. She did nothing. 'The
my dear brethren; we are not so per
mitted to attempt to read the future.
Suffice it for us to glean from this
beautiful story its many lessons; suf
fice it for us to apply them, to study
them as far as in us lies, and bearing
in mind the natural frailty of our na
ture, to avoid being widows; to shun
the patronymic of Hubbard ; to have,
if our means afford it, more than one
cupboard in the house; and to keep
stores in them all. And, oh, dear
friends, keeping in recollection what
we have learned this day, let us avoid
keeping dogs that are fond of bones.
But, brethren, if we do if Fato has
ordained that we should do anything
of these things, lot us then go, as
Mother Hubbard did, straight, with
out curv6ting or prancing, to our cup
board, empty though it be; let us,
like her, accept the inevitable with
calm steadfastness; and should we,
like her, ever be left a hungry dog
and an empty cupboard, may future
chronicles be able to write also of us,
in the beautiful words of our text:
' And so the poor dog had none."
Labor vs. Capital.
That labor and capital are insep
arable all must admit, after a careful
and attentive investigation. There
is no capital where there is no labor,
and capital will not exist without
labor the odo is but the antecedent
of the other; deprive any community
of the one and you necessitate the
expulsion of the other.
The laborer will not work where
there is no likelihood of a compensa
tion for his work, and the capitalist,
who is continually employing his
means for the erection of buildings,
the beautifying of premises and the
spread of commerce, not only benefits
himself, but is furnishing funds for
the man who labors.
In speaking of the capitalist, we
do not necessarily mean the bond
holder, the banker or the millionaire;
but the farmer, the merchant, the
miller, the mechanic, etc. Each, as
they employ hands from time to time,
and furnish the means for their com
pensation, are capitalists.
The young man, who by industry
has accumulated funds enough to
work a few acres of land, and em
ploys help to till it, is a capitalist.
So much has been said and done to
cause hatred and rivalry between
labor and capital, between working
men and the men of meane, that even
now a feeling of antipathy exists,
and what is the result? The laborer
imagines his employer to be a hard
master, not willing to compensate
him as he should for his labors. Con
sequently strikes have been instituted
causing the waste of property, the
loss of life, and eventually throwing
many men out of employment, who
for years commanded the confidence
and respect of their employers.
Such wrongs have been common,
and are known in almost every city,
and they occur simply lor the want
of ""ue appreciation of the labor per
formed, and confidence in the em
ployer. Our political organs in their strife
for power have done much towards
irritating this feeling of enmity, in
presenting the matter in such a light
to the public, that the workingmen
have been taught to believe that the
employer was a tyrant, endeavoring
to oppress them, while on the con
trary they have been liberal beyond
prudence.
The past few years have been
years of anxiety to the business
man, fraught with many uncertain
ties. With unstable values and un
stable credit, at every turn there was
a doubt. They were operating on a
margin which was growing nar
rower each year, and this does not
apply to one particular class of busi
ness, but to every branch of indus
try. The days of large profits are
over, and business men do not expect
the same margin they have been ac
customed to receive.
If then the manufacturers, the
wholesalers and retailers are com
pelled to receive much smaller
profits, should not the laborer be
willing to bear a part of the burden,
and share with them the disad
vantage of small profits?
One of the hardest lessons we have
to learn is to live according to the
times and within our means. When
we are willing to do that, strife be
tween labor and capital will cease,
and one will be as indispensable to
the other as night is to day. Grocers
Criterion.
Found at Last. "
Some years ago, as a Mississippi steam
boat came to a river landing, a tall, un
gainly, gawkish looking fellow, leaning
against a wood pile, attracted the atten
tion of the passengers, one of whom, a
talkative and conspicuous person, re
marked to his friends that he was going
to have some fun out of that fellow.
Drawing a savage-looking bowie knife,
he said :
" So, old fellow, I've found you at
last. You're the man that stole a dog of
mine, and I've sworn to get square with
you. I've been looking for you for a
year."
The gawky lazily opened his eyes in
wondering amazement at first, as though
he didn't understand it. Then catching
sight of the laughing passengers looking
on from the deck, he took in the situ
ation. By the time "smartv" had
finished telling him how long he had
been looking for him, he had token out
of his pocket a fist like a sledge hammer
had been looking for him plnmp
the river. Tlien resuming his place

Popular Science.
DEW.
Mr. George Dines, who has made ex
tensive experiments and observations on
the formation of dew, finds that the depth
r i -. ' , 1
ui uepuHit in .Cingiana in an evening
rarely exceeds a hundredth part of an
inch, and that the average annual depth
of the dew deposit upon the surface of
the earth does not exceed an inch and a
half.
TO STRAIGHTEN WAEPED WOODS.
Of all the trials and vexations that be
set the beginner there are none more an
noying than the tendency of wood to
warp. He sends to his dealer for a small
assortment of fine woods, and expects to '
receive them perfectly true and flat. Per
haps the woods are flat when they leave
the dealer, but in transit they are very
likely to twist out of shape, reaching
their dost mat ion badly warped. The ex
pressman may not be aware of the subtle
nature of these woods, and in not a very
gentle manner lays the package on a
cold, damp floor. The dry wood sucks in
the moisture on one side, swells and
curls. It should not be a difficult mat
ter to cure this. If the wood is in a large
piece the convex or hollow side should
be steamed or moistened a little and then
laid upon a dry floor, holding it down
with a smooth, flat board upon which
weights are placed. When quite dry it
will be found to have regained its origi
nal shape. If the wood is in small pieces
it can be easily straightened by gently
steaming the convexed side over a
teakettle and then holding the other side
toward the heat until it becomes straight,
when it can be left in a press or under
weights for a few hours. Almost any
warped woods will yield under this treat
ment. Leffels" News.
DISEASE IN SEWEK8.
In every house there is of this refuse
material a large amount. On washing
day many gallons, often barrels, of water
in which our clothing has been washed,
and containing the filth that the skin has
thrown off during the week, must be dis
posed of. All through the week more or
less dishwater and dirty water from vari
ous sources accumulates. As a rule it is
thrown into a drain which is, perhaps,
covered only with a board, and carried
only a few feet away, when it soaks into
the soil or spreads out on the ground
and evaporates into the air. If the soil
is pervious it may leak into it and some
of it eventually find its way into the well.
In the course of a short time these slops
fill the soil full, a sort of fermentation
takes place, and as the air is more or less
excluded, most poisonous gases are de
generated. It is now positively known
that many diseases have their origin in
breathing these gases. It docs not fol
low that they always cause disease, be
cause the germs may not always be pres
ent, but they frequently do. Diphthe
ria, that scourge of both city and coun
try, has been traced time and again in
the city to sewer gas passing into the
house. " In the country, .where less at
tention is given to the cause of disease,
the drain for slops is not always recog
nized as the source of diphtheria, but in
very many cases it has been proved to be
so beyond the slightest doubt. Herald
of Health.
SPECIFIC AGAINST HYDROPHOBIA.
The British-American Journal has
the following in connection with the
dread disease, hydrophobia, and its suc
cessful treatment: "Dr. Grzyvala, of
Krivoe Ozeroe, Podolia, for whose trust
worthiness Professor Gubler, of Paris,
vouches, declares that after a series of
crucial trials, which he describes at
length, he has found that, after having
had opportunities of treating at least one
hundred cases of men bitten by rabid
dogs, with the Xanthium Spinosum, he
has never in any one of these cases failed
to ward off hydrophobia. He gives some
startling examples. During the Crimean
war a family of twelve persons had been
bitten by a hydrophobic wolf. Six of
them entered his wards in the Hospital
of Olschahka, government of Podolia,
district of Balta. They were treated
with infusion of the leaves of the
xanthium, and all recovered. The six
others, who were treated by the actual
cautery and the daily use of genesta
tinctoria and other drugs, died with
hydrophobia in the course of twelve to
sixty days. He recounts many other
facts not less striking. For an adult,
the dose is sixty contigrammes of the
dry powder, repeated three times a day,
and continued during six weeks. Chil
dren under twelve take half that quan
tity. The dose for animals is much
larger. A herd of thirty oxen had been
bitten by a mad wolf; eight had suc
cumbed with symptoms of hydrophobia.
The Commissary of Police came to Dr.
Grzyvala for his 'antirabic powder.'
He gave three ounces of the powder,
with bran, daily to each of the remaining
animals; none of them suffered from the
disease. These are examples of which
Dr. Grzyvala says he has a hundred
others."
. THE GENESIS OF THE MOSQUITO.
A physician corresponding with the
Scieiitific American says: " For sev
eral years past I have noticed in warm
weather that my wooden cistern, which
is above ground, has been infested with
peculiar looking little red worms. I
have heard many others like myself com
plain of these worms, and I had taken it
for granted that they were a species of
earth worm. However, last summer I
Erocured a glass jar and sprinkled the
ottom of it with a very small quantity
of sand and clay. I then half filled the
jar with clear fresh water, and after put
ting a dozen of these worms in the jar I
tied a piece of cloth over the mouth and
placed it in a light, airy place. The
worms were from half to three-fourths of
an inch in length, of a bright red color,
and had rather a jointed appearance
about the body. They would crawl on
the bottom of the jar, swim through the
water by a rapid bending of the body
backward and forward, and occasionally
come up to the surface of the water and
float. Within twenty-four hours after
placing them in the jar I noticed that
they had all gone down to the bottom of
the vessel and had enveloped themselves
separately in a kind of temporary shell
made of earth and sand. In a few days
after this I saw one of these worms crawl
out of his temporary honse at the bottom
of the jar and swim to the surface" of the
water. Here, after twisting about for a
few seconds, he ruptured a thin mem
brane that enveloped his body, and
came out a full-fledged mosquito ready
for business. I noticed many of the
other worms going through the. same
performance within a short while after
ward. Some of the mosauitoes wer
I much larger than others, but, as I have
already stated, some of the worms were
also larger than others."
REMEDIES FOB CARPET BEETLES, MOTHS, AC.
Francis Gregory Sanborn, Consulting

be drunk by any domestic animal, or if
preserved for future use, carefully
labelled "poison." This preparation
will not stain or disfigure carpets nor
corrode metals in contact with the carpet,
as will most preparations of corrosive
sublimate.
Second One pound of quassia chips,
one quarter of a pound of Cayenne pep
per, steeped in two gallons of water.
Strain and use as above. This prepara
tion, although irritating to the human
skin, especially on cut surfaces, has the
advantage of not being poisonous. To
either of these teas from one quarter to
one-half more boiling water may be
added at the time of first using, if greater
depth of the liquid in the vessel be re
quired. When it is desirable to treat
carpets that are not to be taken up,
either of the above preparations may be
applied by means of any of the common
atomizers to every seam and margin with
good results, although a second, and
even third, application may - be needed.
Legal Opinions.
An honest farmer once called upon the
late Roger M. Sherman, the celebrated
lawyer, and told him that he wanted an
opinion. He had heard a great deal about
the value of Mr. Sherman's opinions, and
how a great many people went to him to
get an opinion, and John, though he
never had, nor was likely to have, a law
snit or other difficulty for a lawyer to
help him from thought he would have an
"opinion" too.
"Well, John, what can I do for you?"
said Mr. 8., when John in his turn was
shown into his room.
"Why, lawyer," replied John, "I hap
pened to be in town, and having nothing
to do thought I would come and get your
opinion."
" State your case, John. What's the
matter?"
" Oh ! nothing. I ain't got no lawsuit ;
I only want to get one of your opinions ;
they say they're very valuable."
" But, John, about what?"
" Oh ! anything, sir, take your pick and
'loose."
Mr. Sherman, seeing the notions of his
client on the matter on hand, took his
pen, and writing a few words folded them
up and handed them to John, who care
fully placed the paper in his pocket.
"What's to pay, sir?"
" Four and six-pence, Yankee money
seventy-five cents."
When John returned home the next
morning he found his wife, who pretty
much took the lead of his business mat
ters, anxiously discussing with his chief
farm servant, the propriety of getting in
a large quantity of oats on that day,
which had been it the one previous, or
of undertaking soSie other labor.
John was appealed to to settle the
question, bat he could not decide. At
length, he said : "1 tell you what, Polly,
I've been to a lawyer and got an opinion
that cost me four and six pence. There it
is read her out ; it's a lawyer's writing,
and I can't make head or tale of it ! "
John, by the way, could not read the
plainest print, but Polly, who was some
thing of a scholar, opened the paper and
read as follows : "Never put off till to
morrow what can be done to-day."
" Enough said ! " cried John, " them oats
must be got in." And they were "got in,"
and the same night such a storm came on
as otherwise would have ruined them en
tirely. Exchange.
A Princely Trial of an Old Experiment.
Under the heading "The Prince of
Wales' Courage," the London World
relates the following incident: "The
heir apparent and Dr. Lyon Playfair
were standing near a caldron contain
ing lead which was boiling at white
heat. ' Has your Royal Highness any
faith in science ? ' said the Doctor. ' Cer
tainly,' replied the Prince. ' Will you,
then, place your hand in the boiling
metal, and ladle out a portion of it?'
' Do you tell me to do this ? ' asked the
Prince. ' I do,' replied the Doctor.
The Prince then ladled out some of
the boiling lead with his hand, with
out sustaining any injury. It is a
well-known scientific fact that the human
hand may be placed uninjured in lead
boiling at white heat, being protected
from any harm by the moisture of the
skin. Should the lead be at a percepti
bly lower temperature, the effect need
not be described. After this let no one
underrate the courage of the Prince of
Wales." There seems a spice of flunkey
ism in this. The Prince may be supposed
to have learned when he was a schoolboy
that the experiment is perfectly safe. It
requires a little "nerve" to perform it,
to be sure, but can hardly be considered
a severe test of one's "courage."
A Teaching Incident.
A lady in the street met a little girl be
tween two and three years old, evidently
lost, and crying bitterly. The lady took
the baby's hand and ask ed where she was
going.
" Down to find my papa," was the sob
bing reply.
" What is your papa's name?" asked
the lady.
"His name is papa."
"But what is his other name? What
does your mamma call him 1"
" She calls him papa," persisted the lit
tle creature.
The lady then tried to lead her along,
saying:
" You had better come with me ; I gness
you came from this Way."
"Yes; but I don't want to go back. I
want to find my papa," replied the little
girl, crying afresh as if her heart wou:
break.
" What do you want of your papa? "
asked the lady.
" I want to kiss him."
Just at this time a sister of the child,
who had been searching for her, came
along and took possession of the little
runaway. From inquiry it appeared that
the little one's papa, whom she was so
earnestly seeking, had recently died, and
she, tired of waiting for him to come
home, had gone ont to find him. Cleve

of the most disastrous conflagrations in the
country, there is not a single instance on record
wherein one of them ever failed to preserve its
contents perfectly.

J. Horsk, Prop"r., Dear Bin
I feel that I owe it to you and
to humanity to write the lact
that I have been SUBSTAN
TIALLY CURED of a bad
rupture, of thirty years' standing, by one of
your mcomparaoie Trusses, wnicn i purcnasca
from you three months ago. I cannot describe
the suffering, both mentally and physically, that
I have undergone during that period; and now I
feel like a new being. I have worn all kinds of
Trusses, both steel and elastic, and never re
ceived any permanent relief until I tried yours.
Its simplicity of construction, and facility with
which it can be adjusted, and the ease and free
dom to the motions of the body with which it
can be worn without causing any irritation, are
its chief merits, and it is a perfect supporter. I
have not had any sign of a return of a Rupture
since the first day I put it on, and feel that I am
PERFECTLY CURED. It is invaluble, and the
fact should be known to the world. You can
refer any one to me on the subject of their merits.
I am yours truly,

California. Truss Co:
After practicing medicine many years in this
city, during which time I have had an extensive
experience in the application of all kinds of
Trusses, I can and do recommend yours as the
best in every respect, and is as near perfect as
modern science can make it. It has many advan
tages over the torturing steel hoop Trusses, which
inflict great injury on the hips and spine, bring
ing on other distressinj ailments, such as Lum
bago, morbid affections of the kidney and
numbness in the lower limbs, all of which are
avoided by wearing the California Elastic Truss.
It is not only a perfect retainer, comprising ease
and comfort, but the pressure can be changed to
any degree. It also remains in its proper place
at all times, regardless of the motions of the
body. uid is worn night and day with perfect
ease. It is superior to any of the Elastic Trusses
now in the market, while it combines the merfts
of all. 1st It is easily adjusted on and off with
naps, doing away with straps andbuckles. 2nd
The universal spring between the plates and
pads prevents all irritation, which is a god-send
to the sufferer. 3rd The pad is adjusted on and
off in an instant, and can be changed to any
other size and form most suitable to the case. In
fact it combines every quality essential to comfort
and durability, and is unequaled in lightness,
and elasticity, natural actios and artistic finish.
Many of my patients who are afflicted with her
nia are wearing them, and all shall in the future,
for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious,
is truly wonderful. You can refer any parties to
me on the subject of their merits.
1 remain truly yours,
