BUI Xye's M OHt Earnest Appeal to The Family Cook. I wish you would insert the follow ing personal in your valuable and widely-read paper: Personal Will the young woman who used to cook in our family, and who went awa- ten pounds of sugar and five and a half pounds of tea ahead of the game, please come back, and all will be forgiven. If she cannot return will she please write, stating her present address, and also give her reasons for shutting up the uit in the refrigerator when she went away ? If she will only return, we will try to forget the past anil think only of the glorious present and the bright, bright future. Come back, Sarah, mid jerk the waffle-iron for us once more. Your manners are peculiar, but we yearn for your doughnuts, and your style of streaked cake suits us exactly. You may keep the handkerchiefs and the collars, and we will not refer to the dead past. We have arranged it so that when yon snore it will not disturb the night police, and if you do not like our children we will end them away. We realize thai you do not like children very well, and oir children especially gave you much pain be cause they were not so refined as you were. We have often wished, for your sake, that we una never nau any children; hut so long as thev are in our family, the neighbors will rather expect us to take care of them. Still, if you insist upon it, we will send them" away. We don't want to seem overbearing with our servants. We would be willing also to give you more time for mental relaxation than you had before. The intellect ual strain incident to the life of one who makes gravy for a lost and un done world must be very great, and tired nature must at last succumb. We don't want you to succumb. If anv one has got to succumb, let us do it." All we ask is that you will let us know when you are going away, and leave the crackers and cheese where we can find them. It was rather rough on us to have you go away when we had guests in the house, but if you had not taken the ke' to the cooking department we could have worried along. You ought to let us have company at the house sometimes if we let you havo company when you want to. Still, you know best, perhaps. You are older than we are, and you have seen more of the world. We miss your gentle admonitions and your stern reproofs sadly. Come back and admonish us once more, at so much per admonish and groceries. "We will agree to let you select the tender part of the steak, and such fruit as seems to strike you favorably, just as we did before. We did not like it when you were here, but that is because we were young and did not know what the custom was. If a lifetime devoted to your welfare can obliterate the injustice we have done you, we will be glad to yield it to voii. If you could suggest a good place for us to send the children, where they would be. well taken care of, and where they would not interfere with some other cook who is a friend of yours, we would be glad to have you write us. My wife says that she hopes you willfeel perfectly free to use the piano whenever you are lonely or sad, and when you or the bread feel depressed you will be welcome to come into the parlor and lean up against either one of us and sob. "We know that when you were with us before we were a little reserved in our manner toward you, but if you will come back it will be different. We will introduce you to more of our friends this time, and we hope you will do the same by us. Young people are apt to get above their busi ness, and we admit that we were wrong. Come back and oversee our fritter bureau once more. Take the portfolio of our interior department. Try to forget our former coldness. Return, O wanderer, return ! Artistic Weeping;. Few women look pretty or even in teresting in tears, though it has long been a pleasant fiction in poetry and romance to suppose that thev do. Manv women, some men, most chil dren, make most disfiguring and dis torting grimaces while crying, and the lady who thinks she can work upon a man's feelings by a liberal display of tears, should carefully study a becoming mode of producing them before her looking-glass. A negro boy, while walking along the street, took off his hat and struck at a wasp that had alighted on a tall shrub hanging over a fence. The hoy put on his hat, turned to a man, anil said: "I thought I got dat ar ole wass." "Didn'tyougethim?" "Xc, sah ; but I " he snatched oJ his hat, clapped his hand on the top of his head, squatted, howled, and said : "Blame fi didn't git dat ole wass." Chemists are just now puzzling over a new substance obtained from leather. A Milton shoemaker says it is simply an ox-ide. Santa Rosa ews. Odd Triclcs. If you want to see curious sleight-of-hand performances, you must go to India. No jugglers in the world can compare with those who practice their curious art in that far-away land. They have neither curtains nor tables, boxes nor drawers, nor do they wear loese embroidered mantles with large sleeves, as Wester, wiz ards usually do. An Indian juggler is clothed only with a strip of muslin fastened around his body. His limbs are bare. He stands in an open courtyard without a tree, a grass-plot or the shelter of a tent; and in the midst of a ring "of spectators, all gaz ing at him with intense watchfulness, he calmly performs tricks which look like miracles. For instance, he extends to you his empty hands. You see there is nothing in them. He stoops down, picks up two or three pebbles, rubs his hands together, and presently there is a shining silver rupee. Again he shows you his bare hands, picks up the rupee, breaks it in two, or pretends to do so, and there are two coins. He breaks these again and again until he has ten or a dozen, and where the money has come from or where he had it hidden, no mortal can tell. The basket trick is a favorite and a very mysterious one. The basket is shown you empty. It is turned upside down in vour sight. You know perfectly that there is nothing beneath it; biit the juggler sings a little song. "Mieow! mieow!" is heard; he lifts the basket and out jumps a cat. Sometimes, instead of "mieows," one hears the barking of a dog or the cooing of a dove, and one of these emerges instead of Madam Puss. More amazing still it is to see puss there by herself at one moment, and the next, on the lifting of the basket, to behold her the center of a happy family, kittens crowding by her side and a bird perched on her head. Sometimes a child is placed under tho basket and the juggler dances wildly around it, thrusting long lances and knives into the bam boo until blood comes out and the spectators are horror-stricken. But just as tney are reidy to inter fere, a merry laugh will be heard on the edge of the circle, and there will be the little one quite unhurt, and how he escaped from the basket, or where the red fluid which looked like blood came from, is not explained. A French traveler saw a juggler set a large top spinning on the end of a slick, which he balanced on his fore head. The top then stopped revolv ing or went on at the word of com mand, just as if it had beeri alive. Some of the jugglers dance airily on a loosely-fastened rope, their feet bare and earthen jars on their heads. One of them was seen to walk along the rope without a misstep, although buffalo horns were tied to his feet. I think you will agree with the general opinion that if you want to see really clever tricks you must go to India. Harper's Young Folks. Happy nrnmcntH In the Id To of an Editor. There are moments in the life of even the wretched country editor when his tired nerves are thrilled by the touch of joy. There arc little intervals when the odor of ink and benzine vanish like the dewy jewel that sparkles on the rose when kissed by the morning sun, and the polluted air seems laden with richest per fumes. Such a moment came to us yeEterday evening, when three of uroekvillc's best citizens, Messrs. S. R. Anderson, S. A. Hunter, and Moses Johns, burst in upon us all at once, like a ray of light, and sub scribed for the Tribune, each paying a vear in advance. Punxsutawney (Pa.) Tribune. Quakerism Xot Dying Ont. A prominent and worthy follower of George Fox in Maine says: "The expression sometimes used that the Friends are dying out, has no foun dation whatever. The real truth in reference to this is that throughout the United States they have a larger increase of membership in proportion to their number than any other evan gelical church. The society is in creasing in Maine at the present time. One new meeting has been set up the past year." Scot I'm Emulsion ol Pure Cod Liter Oil with Hypopunspuitci.

For all Diseases of the i Liver, Sidneys, Stomach and Spleen. This purely vegetable pre paration, now so celebrated as a Family Medicine, originated in the South in 1828. It acts jrently on the Boircls and Kidneys and corrects the action of the Liver, and is, there fore, the best preparatory medicine, whatever the sick ness may prove to be. In all common diseases it will, un assisted by any other medi cine, effect a speedy cure. The Regulator is safe to administer in any condition of the system. and under no circum stances can it do harm. It will invigorate like a class of wine, but i r.o intoxicating bever age to lead to intemperance; will promote di gestion, dissipato lieadKclic, anil gener ally tono up the system. The dose is small, not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted. Nolossoftimc.no Inter ruption or stoppage of business while taking die Regulator. Children complaining of Colic, Headache, or Sick Stomach, a teaspoonful or more will give relief. If taken occasionally by pa tients exposed to MALARIA, will expel the poison and protect them from attack. A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION. I have been uracticinsr medicine for twenty Years. and have never been able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, and at the same time aid (instead of rreak cning) the digestive and assimilative powers of the system.
