LA Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head cool, the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayci-’s Pills
Is an apericni, he would certainly have
recommendcd them, as so many of his
distinguished mu.-ccssor.s are doing.

The cclcbrutctl Dr.‘ Farnsworth, of
Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer's
Pills as the best of all remedies for
“ Intermittent Fe-vcrs.”

Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn., says: “Ayer's Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. I make daily use of them
in my practice."

Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass.,
says: “Having prescribed many thou-
sands of Ayer’s Pills, in my practice, I
can unhesitatingl y pronounce them the
beat cathartic in use.”

The Massacluisetts State Assayer. Dr.
A. A. Hayes. certifies : “ I have made a
careful analysis of A_ver’s Pills. The
oontain the active principles of wel-
known drugs, isolated from inert mat.-
ter, which plan is. chemically speaking,
0! great importance to their usefulness.
It insures activity, certainty, and unl-
lortnity of effect. A_ver’e Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination."

pcrsi.-‘Icucy triumpluzd over them and
no\v scctns on the high road to pros-
perity and uscfuluc.-s.

N01‘ long ago I saw in the N. Y.
\Vt~ckl_v 'l‘ribunc an item stating that
the uullmritic:~2 oi’ 8:iug:1tuck, Mich.,
had prohiblt.t‘-d suioking‘ in thc streets

low its example. I would like to go a
little i':u'tl1er than this and have a law
to punish by line or imprisonment any
man or woman found smoking in any
room, public or private, without the
consent. of evcvy other pcrsou in the

Nowhere, 1887. JXNTI-SIIOKER.

IN our article in the VISITOR of De-
cctnbcr 15, 1886, on "An important
que~tion considcretl,” wcdid not intend
to umkczin invidious compnrison be-
tween the intellectual t::lp:lL7llY of the
boy and the girl. or the man and the
woman. The point that was made in
rcgnrd to ‘-fvtu-ilc in~structiou for boys”
was taken) from flll()[llOl' \v1'itcr’.s:1rgu-
iuo_~nt:1nd wc gave it for wlmt it was
\\'c:igrcc with ";248” in tho.-
jottiugs of the V'I.~'11'ou of ()ctobc1' 1,
"tliut, given the :-zanic opportutiity.
girls will ottcn outstrip the boys in
the ucquircincut of kumvlcdgc.” And,
we bclicvc that woman is not "infcrior
imcllectually to the other sex.” As
we stated in the article rcl'errcd to, we
merely 1)l'Ch(?lll.Cl.l the ideas and state-
mcnts of others in much of the dis-
cussion of the question. We have had
much to do in training the boy and the
girl, the young man and the young
lady, in the school room, and While we
lmvc had many bright students among
the young mcu, the brightest students
that ever rccitcd to us were young la-
dies. V. B.

Yias some of the members of Grovc
Grange No. 5:28 would be plea.-'cd to at-
tcnd (us who would not) the National
Grunge to be held in the Capitol City,
but crops were too poor for some and
others cannot lcatvc home. We talked
about it all summcr and it is really
hard to give it up, especially when we
rt-ad the Vrsxrou of October 15, 1887.
We ought to make an effort stronger
than to attend the State Gmiigc 101'
we may have the opportunity of at-
tcuding that more tiuics in our life
time. We hope all will go who can
and enjoy themselves every moment
tlwy are away front the cares of home.
We believe in lc:i\'iug our work at
home, too. M R3. 0. A. LEPIEN.

REPEATEDLY the question comes
from lirzmgcs, “\Vhat shall we do to
induce rt-gulztr attendance at our meet-
lugs?” it is a w'ulc-.~ipt'c.1d complaint
that members do not maintain their
zeal in the cause, although their faith
is as strong as ever it was. Apparent-
ly, something must bc done. lu fact,
som-zrnmo Musr BE ooxu,-—uot that
soluething will “happen” to build up
these Grangcs, 0;‘ that other Grangcs
must do something (or the failing oucs,
but the weak lllll:-it work for them-
selves. They must Win their own
strength and win it by new means.
It is the NEW that takes.

Amoncr many methods of exciting
iuicrcst lll the work the simplest and
most gcncr.-ally successful one at pre-
sent seems to be the Contest Plan,-—a
device so oltcn explained in the V151-
TOR that it h:u'dl_v calls for its details
again. Still, over and over we are
:IR.l(('(ll1l)()lll’. it, and over and over we
shall urge wcztk Graiiges to try it be-
fore giving up hope and charters.

The Content. l’l:in involves the selec-
tion of two captains who choose sides
518 in the old time spelling schools.
Thcsc sides, or companies, alternate in
furnishing litcrzwy programs. Each
item on the programs counts so many
points, according to a scale arranged
by the captains. A maximum num-
bcr is agreed upon and should l.ll(‘l'P be
fl failure on the program it is 51 loss of
-0 many points instead of :1 gain to

They recogilized the fact that to

slie wipes the death danips i'roii1 the

“In allcient mythology, when ll cliarin

The law of sex has been recognized
ill the propagation of plant lite as well
as the low:-r forms of allinial life, and
when we adllere to the law ill regard

the tuturc ofthe liunl:in race will no

LONG. -

(hie stormy day in winter I sat beside the tire,

With lily iect upon tllc fender, while the
blaze leaped high and higher,

And the crackle of the hickory was a pleas-
ant sound to heir,

VVliilc the slorlll without was raging, and tile
heavens seemed so drcar.

\
A‘:

I was seated very cozy in my large and easy
chair,

And “as taking solid comfort, just as though
the sky was fair;

Close lleside me with hcrknittillg sat the wife
I loved so well,

As she listened to the story that the author
had to tell;

And her eyes were often dewy, with a gentle.
tender grlze,

When the aulllor led the hero over dark and
devious ways;

Then again a smile would ripple o’er her face
so fair to see,

And t'was very entertaining for us two—rny
wife and me,

For the tale was interesting, alidbcsides ’twas
deitly told,

And it seemed so much the better as the
weather was so cold;

And we hailed the roaring norther and the
prlvacy it gave,

For the occasion must be urgent when such
weather men will brave;

And our fears of interruptioii were so very
small indeed,

That the rattle of the front door was not giv-
en any heed;

But the mill: and the rapping kept Cl grow
ing louder still,

Till conviction drl\vlll:(l upon us though ‘twas
much against our will.

So I said, “ ’Ti: surely some one rapping at
the outer door,

And our pleasant time is ended ifhe tarry, oh,
the bore!”

Then I rose up from my reading; still my fnl—
gar kept the place,

And I opene.,l lo a. stranger with 3. well dis
semllled glace.

He, the stranger, very pleasant, took my hand
and spoke my llrilne,

And I thawed soinr, never guessing of the ras—
cals little game;

He then spoke about the weather; said the day
was far froln fair,

And then coolly took possession of my own
well ciisllioiied chair,

Put his feet upon the fender and was very
much at home;

But. lily l\ltlry‘s visage lengthened and was
over-spre:i I with gloom.

Soon I niusiered some of manhood, asked
his name in gentle tones,

And he turned,and smiling sweetly, said
’twas “He7.ek.ah _]0nes;”

Thenlle softly begged my pardon for the
slip his mind had made,

And then hastened to illform me life insur-

ance was his trade;

Told me that ’iwould give me pleasure if :1
policy I’d take,

Thain husband should be lill’i'al with his
\Aifc’s welfare at stake;

Called to iilind the many dangers that we
daily undergo;

How :1 fat-.11 cold is taken from a few soft
{lakes of snow.

§o his tongue kept glibly gliding, ever driv-
ing on the nail,

And I bravely kept my patience till his string
of words should fail;

But he talked about religion, of philosophy,
the weatlier,

How a sudden flush of lightning’d send us
Skyward altogether;

Spoke of malaria and fever, of the rheuma-
tism and gout;

Then I thought the end was coming, but he
took another bout;

Said he knew somewhat of med’cine; asked
if he might take my wrist,

And I gave it, deeply vowing that he next
should feel my fist.

Several moments spent in silence, then he
lifted up his eyes,

And he gazcd upon me sadly with a look so
calm and wise;

Then he turned hiln to my Mary with a slowly
shaking head.

Said he'll often heard of people found at
lllorlnllg cold rind dead;

Then the v llziin calmly noted on her face :1
look (rliirt."l1I',

And he bade her not to trouble, I might live
for lllaily :1 year.

 
 
 

Thus his in‘ ie kept up its lvzlgging till I
rellll, n to feat‘,

If lily life was wllrili the purch2i:.:- of alioiller
s'lll.lr ywlr;

lint I llloligllt it would be wiser ofnle to coli-
cezil lily haste,

As I didn't have :1 fortune on :1 sham concern
to wa-ic;

So I ssiill I'd think aboutit, as our dinner hour
was near,

And lh: d ly was co‘d and stormy, would he
silly and taste our cheer?

Surely, collie to think about it, he was ‘ ‘hun-
gry as a bear,"

And I led him to the table, placed him in an
easy chair;

From my place I turned me to him, would he
kindly say the grace?

And he bowed his head so lowly, with such
reverence in his face,

That I thawed and half relented——then his
blessing was so good,

That I eased my troubled conscience and
heaped high his plate with food.

Heaped it once, it soon was 6|'1‘ip‘.1L;ti, and I
heaped it once again.

Wh:1tsoe’er I put upon it to the eatel see med
the same;

And the way the coffee vanished was a thrill-
ing sight to see,

And Iglanced across at Mary, who in turll
smiled back at me.

Everything was lauded highly—~“Such 3 din-
ner was a treat—"

And then added that he'd “thank me for an-
other piece of meat."

After dinner had been finished and he'd risen
in the lead,

Letter-Writing.

The ancients were so limited ill the
iaciliiil-s for letter-writing, and ac-
coniplislled so little at it, that it may
be said to have been leit for iiiodern
times to developc this art. It is said
that no great poet ever wrote :1 nation-
al song. It set-ills to be zl species oi
liicrzlry work that lnust needs have
i'or its task :1. genius of its own kind.
For instance, in the lyrical outburst of
the war for the Union, we iiild the
name of no great poet, and among the
many song:-l that were written, duriilg
that period, there are but two-
“;\l:li'cliiilg Through Georgia”, and
“John Brown’s Body”, that have last-
ing ianie in tlielil. As it is the song
oi the nightingale that gives that bird
all its glory. so it is these war-sollgs
that give distinction and glory ‘to their
authors. Our sollg-poets, like our
nightingales, are rllra avis.

So we can say ot the writers iii an-
other lille of literature. There are but.
few of oilr eniillent men-oi-le_tters
who have ever been noted letter-writ-
ers. Nature has not been lllvisli ill
bestowing this kind of talent or genius
upon men. .l\1en of letters have been
abulldailt in every ellliglltened age,
yet but few of tlicili have possessed the
genius of epistoillry CUl‘l‘(,’.~‘[)0lld€ll(3€.
One can alniost coilllt the letter-writs
ers of the past twenty-tive hundred
years on the ends of his llll;{0l‘.s‘.

zllllliiinble llistoriclll letters of Pliny

is better than the origiilal. .

Petr.-lrcli unllcrtook to become the
Cicero of his tinies in letter-writing.
\Vhether he succeeded in this or ilot,
his letters are an illestilnlible treasure
to Italilin literature. It is a pity that
he did not write them in Italiall, ill-
stead of Latin; it would have added
beauty to the letters. The world still

The pel-ulizir, versatile genius of the
Frelll-h tongue renders it the most de-
‘lig:ll"nl lallgliage to converse ill. The

Ileltel writing, llud Frziiice has ill the
srlloll. which may be said to belong
e.\:clll.<ively to the Freiicll, an admira-
ble srllool i‘or developing both the art
of collversation and letter-writing.
These two arts go together. For let-
ter-writiilg consists ill lnaking the pen
as ready, racy and natural in its task,
as the tongue is ill the art ot'collversa-
tioll. That is, the letter-writer should
have the gift of the really, happy ex-
pression that characterizes the talker.
The salon afi'oi'lled the opportunity
for the French men and woiilen of the
highest culture to get zlcqiiaillted with
each other, and that acquaintance lead
to a correspoiidellce that has given
Frailce illuily celebrated Ietter-writ-
ters. But Mlidalne dc Scvigue is the
queen of them zlll. Iler letters are es-
teeined the iliost accolnplisllcd model

Soutliey, Sidney Sinith, and Leigh
llnnt. were also gii'ted in epistolary
cori'espolldellcc. But the letters of all
the:-e autliors were o\'ersll:ldowed by
the greater fzllllc of their other produc-
tions. But what shall we say of the
letters of Jnnius? They become our
English classic; their keeil logic, ele-
gant rlictorir, wit. and beauty of ex-
pi'e.-sioll, with a style as adini ‘able’ as
it is clear and concise, have enriched
our literature. Burke said that Ju-
nins, who burst. on the world so sud-
dcilly, "was the iilost extraordlilziry
writer that perhaps ever addressed a
conlillilility.”

Perhaps no writer ill modern times
equals Charles Lalllb ill the epistolary
art. He was the quaint and versatile
genius of modern literature, the “gen-
tle Elice,” of those inconlpa 'able es-
says, the favorite in the Loildoll litera-
ry circle, and, as a talker, had no su-
perior. Ills letters have all the quaint,
exquisite charm of his genius, they
bubble over with puns, jests and

Nov. 1, I887.

MY NEIGHBORS WIFE.

“I don’t know What the reason is
that my neighbor John gets along so
much better than I do.”

“I shouldn’t think you need to ask
such a question, I should think you‘d
know it was all your fault. I’ve told
you times enough.”

The wife took a pie froui the oven
with her apron and gave her husband
8 triumphant look.

“Pd be the last one to dispute you
on that point, Sarah Jane. 1’ve heard
it till I’m tired of it.”

“Well won’t _vou go and saw some
wood to bake the next batch of pies
Willi?”

He went outside muttering, ‘‘It’s
‘nothing but saw wood all the time;

ready. VVhvl I sawed four sticks for
her this morning; wonder what she
has done with that. She is sloveiily
and extravagant and I’mcleandiscour-
aged trying to get a living, but I’m
not going to work for $1.25 per day,
so old Babcock might as well uiider-
stand that first as last. I can’t get up
so early mornings and Sarah Jane
won’t.”

Sarali:Jane sat pealing apples with at
carving knife, muttering as the thick
skin came off. .

“I never saw such a shiftless good-
for-nothing man in i1i_v life. llejnst
sits round and smokes that old clay
pipe from niorning till night: he
won’t even mend broken chairs orjog
the baby wliilcl work. He won’t. buy
more than two pounds of sugar at a
time; but when I find great hanks of
tobacco in his coat pocket, I know it’s
all a lie, that he hadn't any inoney to
to buy the nutniegs. I say lialfaloaf‘s
better than none, and if he don’t go to
work in the mill 1 shall. I patched
and darned a whole week to get the
children ready for schooland now they
are all in rags. I only wish I had all
the money I’ve given them to buy can-
dy with since school began. They
pester ni_v life out ot' me for pie. It’s
“pie, pie,” all the time and they won’t
eat the crust either. I wonder if he is
making that wood, ne’s slower than a
snail. Jim, Jim, I’m waiting for that
wood.”

She was standing in the doorway
wiping her nose on her apron.

The leak in the household bucket
was plain to be seen; the holes were
large enough for pennies, tobacco, and
pie-crust to go through.

The sight of Sarah Jane was enough
to discourage an_v man. It was near-
ing noon but her hair had not been
combed and being fire red presented
any thing but an attractive appezimiice;
her dress once boasted of ten buttons,
but there were only six doing duty
and three of these were white shirt
buttons. The dress being a combina-

tion of silkand wool of a dark color,
one could not help noticing the con-,
trast, also that the pleating was gonel

tered with grease, as was also the front
breadth of her dress for herapron was
used for such a variety of purposes
that it accumulated a good deal of
dirt. She had forgotten her collar and
her elbow was out limiting after some-
thing. Jim didn't admire her very
much and often spoke ot neighbor
Joliii’s neat wife, without improving
the matter.

It Jim didii’t see miicli in his wife
to admire ‘she certainly {looked in vain
for neatness in him His siispenders
were hanging, his slippers down at the
heel; everything about the place had a
slipsliod look and was going to ruin.
The neighbors said riglitly,“wniit of

Just across the yard neighbor Joliii‘s
Wife sang merrily as she we. t about
her household duties. The voice was
clearjand sweet:

“Up in the morning early just at the break
of day."

In cairie little Johnnie:

“l\Ianiiiia, I’m hungry, I want some-
thing to eat.”

"Well tie up your shoe all nice and
I’ll give you a grand slice of fresli
broad and butter. I can’t teed untidy
boys."

Johnnie was satisfied and his moth-
er prepared a nice soup lroin a few
bits ot roast beef, the thickened gravy,
a quart of water. the one stalk ol cel-
ery that was left fi-oin _\'estci'day‘s din-
ll(f1‘,.’~‘Ullle s:ilt.pcppcr, a sniall onionzand
two potatoes. Nothing went to waste
in her house.

“Are you going to have piiddiug to-
day. iiianiiiia?"

"Yes, and I want. my boy to pick
over a. cup of raisins. lret the big
apron and do them nice, for papa is
very p:irticiilai'.”

‘*\Vhat kind, ni-iinina?”

“You know we had boiled rice for
dinner yesterday and tapioca creain for
supper. There was a little of both
left; these I shall put in a pudding
dish with a quart of milk; I shall beat
in an egg, some sugar and a few drops
of lemon, and a rolled cracker it I think
it needs it. When it is baked brown
it will be very nice.”

Just then the. bell rang and Johnnie

let a lady friend into the kitchen. She l

was given the low rocker by the wiii-
dow and the neighborly chat began.

“Is your husband going to stand the
cut-down at the mill?”

Jolin’s wife smiled as she answered
cheerfully.

"Yes there is no other way. It will
pinch us this winter; but I can manage
somehow. I can be brave as long
as John is.”

“A’int you rather extmvagziiit to
wear linen collars in the morning?”

The good wife did not lose her pa-
tience but answered,

‘-.\'ot at all, for 1 make them out of
the borders ot' John’s old linen hand-

\Vhen the inquisitive but good nat-
nrcd friend rose to go she stepped to
the wood-slicd and watched Johnnie
piling the winter supply of wood.

“'I‘li:it’s a grand sight. it looks‘fore-

Irlow much that iiieans you ought to know,

Aliiiost too weak to breaihe or talk;

A weary, ever present aching.

THE construction of the Patent Laws
of the United States as expressed by
the Supreme Court of the United
States in its decisions upon the claims
ot N. W. Green in May last expose a
large proportion of the men, women,
and children of this coIiiitr_v to a
charge of inf‘i-ingemeiit of the patent
laws. In proof of‘ this we again quote
from that decision. “The patent cov-
ers the process of drawing water fioiii
the earth by means of a well driven in
the manner described in the patent.
The use of 21 well so constructed is,
therefore, a continuing iiif‘i~iii;__renieiit,
as every time Water is tlrawn from it
the patented process is iieccssaril y used.
Under this construction the defendant
has infringed by using the pump in ll.
driven well, constructed in a house
hired by him, to obtain a. supply of
water for the use of his family, al-
though he may iiot have paid for driv-
ing the Well or have procured it to be
driven. Such use of‘ the well was 1]. use
ot the patented process.”

\Ve have thought best to renew our
former cllort to induce Coiigress to so
amend the patent laws that iiiiioct-nt
purchasers might purcliasc in the open
unirkct what they found on .':‘.Ilt'.‘ with-
out li:iz:ird of pi'oscciI:ioii. 'l‘u iliisciid
Wehavc ll7l(l pctiiioiis printed and sent

voters be obfniiicd so far as practic:ililc
and soon after the asscinbliiig of Con-
gress petitions be forivzirdcd to the
Representatives and Senators from this
Itate. Let us make it bold push to
have a little more common sense iii-
troduced into the Patent Laws of this

(rest country.

The Driven Well.

Those who don’t take the VISITOR
continue writing us about the driven
well One gciitlenian, after tcllingus
when and wlierc he had 9. drivcii well
put down, asked us to tell him on \\'ll.‘!l
grounds the (}range propose to fight
the dciiiziiids for royalty, siiggcsfing
that “it. is no use to take the niattcr
into the courts only to be beaten and
then have the royalty to pay after all.”

To answer these letters in detail is It
tax on our time that we can not meet.
The Visiron is our medium ofconim1i-
nicatioii with the Patrons of this and
other States and also with all other
persons wlio:subscribe for the paper
for any length of time. Six years ago
the Grange organization of Michigiiii
took hold of‘ this extravngaiit deninnd
upon owners of driven wells and said
to claimants, “You must make out
your case before the judicial tribunals
of the coiiiiti'y'.;?j_)’(iu are deniiiiiding
millions of money from the people
when there is more than 9. reasoiiable
doubt about your being eutiilul in
equity or law to a. single cu-iii.” ""?"‘ ‘"‘

agents of Mr. Gl'('t’ll c<viiiii:('ii«,-iil LTui'iL

failed to appear in court to viiidicate

“lint folded their tents like the Arab,
And as silently xlole tinny."

It is true dccisioiis :idvvi'sc to fhedo-
fendaiits have beeii rciidcrcd by the Sn-
preme Court of the United Stain,-s; but
as (lC(.'ls'l()llS“lll(‘y count but litllcwlicii
uiidcrstood except as it basis for talk
and to bulldoze owners of wells‘ into
paying It royalty.

In the first case while four jnsticrs
of the b'lIpl't'Ille~Llollrt vhllSl:ilAlietl—_ll1(?
claims of Mr. Green, the other four
dissented. Such a decision has no
weight and no more strength than a
rope of sand.

'lhi otier two c'i=cs den i lrd on the
23d of May last zitl'oi'd a little more
hope for Mr. Green as five of the Judges
decided in_liis favor wliilcjtlirec di.-.
<cIitcd and the people of’ this couiitr_\'
on this small margin are asked to pay
~‘()lll(‘Wll(‘I‘O f'roni five to ten millions
of dollars to the eigciits of 11 r. Url‘('€'li
for an iiivciition that he pcrliaps with
<onie otlicrs had :1 hand in (levclopiiig.
And under pateiit laws that by their
:ib.~:iii'dit.y are a di.<gi':ir:c to our civiliza-
tion and the lcgi.~lative body that iiii-
poscd tlit-in on the people, the agciits
of Mr. Green have froin time to time
iiifiniidatcd people and collected thou-
sand of dollars to which they had no
well established riglit.

The evidence. collected under direc-
tion of‘ the State Grange of’ Itlicliigaii
has NOT been used in court and we do
not propose to submit. to demands
which in themselves are an iinperti-
nent assumption of rights that no-
where exist.

Some people will be intimidated by
such a bugaboo as Collector Osborn, of
Tekonsha, introduced into his notice.
He siys. “I will accept a royalty of
$10 on each ll or 1}-inch hand domestic
well and I will also accept on each 2-
iiich hand domestic Well $15, if‘ that
amount is paid in five days after this
notice. After that time the royalty is
$20 and $25 respectively without dis-
count.”

In case Collector Osborn liasa. legal

claim on the owners and users of driv-
en Wells in his township, we are curi-
ous to know by what authority lie
doubles his demand at the end of five
days. If he can on his own motion in-
crease his claim 100 per cent. in five
days we (loii’t know why it woii’t be
$40 in tend:iys:ind so on by easy stages
until about Christmas. By that time
his claim will have absorbed all the
real and personal estate of his town-
ship except what is exempt under the
homestead law and that niay not be in
the way of a collector who makes his
own laws and proposes to execute them.

The gentleman we first introduced
says: “It is no use to take the niatter
into the courts only to be beaten.” The
State Grange of‘ Michigan ll:lSl)0 mat-
ter to take into tliccourts. But ifany
person or persoiis who have contrib-
u ted to its Dcfciisc Fund are prosecuted
for iiifriiigciiicnt of'Llicdrivcn well put-
cnt of‘ E. W. (irl'(.‘(.‘l| the State (ir.-iiigc

and iii:iint:iin such defense :ig':iiiis't all
coiin-i'.~: until adccisioii is I'c:iclicd in the
court of lzisi rcsort.

It the patent is iiiaintaiiied no court"

will authorize E. W. Grccii to collect
several millions of dollars in royalty
on account of this invention. Some
men will pay—-—who, or how much, we
shall never know. Such men will keep
very still. More will not pay, and it

the great majority who stand together
and resist this claim ever pay we shall
all know how much and wlicii. mid we
predict it woii’t be “$20 after five
days,” or $10 on dciiiaiiil.

These are the same red-tape condi-

The Forestry Com mission.

In pursuance of an act of our last

A scliciiic of work was outlined to

holding :1 great wiiitcr convention,

Notes by the Way.

Starting from Sclioolcraft on the
nioriiiiig train for Chicago on the l0tli
of October we arrived in the garden city
about noon. and went to the exposi-
tion. There is no use to try to il(3~‘t'.l'llIC
tliis—-—tliere  so much ofit. Fine dis-
plays ol'hoii~eliold and faiicy gaioils of"
most every de.~‘ci‘lpll0Il were. grziiid,
Illtl art. ll‘lll iiinst be St'(.‘ll to be appre-
ciated. Pi'ob:ib1y the finest priiiuiiigs
and drawings in the city are there to
be seen.

The next morning We spent in Lin-
coln Park with its fine plants, flowers,
statuary and nearly every animal to
be found in this latitude. The only
trouble was there was too much to be
men and space to be gone over for our
limited time.

At 12.30 P. M. we resiimed our jour-
ney over the U. B. & Q. R. R., the first
stop of account being J oliet Where the
Iandstone crops out in all directions
and it would seem as if the soil must
be thin. Grass is short but green and
instead of cattle on'tlie thousand hills
it is thousands of cattle on the plain.

Then came l\lorris, an :ipp:ireiitly
thriving town surrouiided by level and
rather low coiiiitr_v_. soil mostly clay I
pplged. by the brick yards in sight.

hat Surprised me most was to see
large piles of coal ashes and Clll(ll‘l'S
that would $0011] to be the best possible
thing for their clay roads which are
not the host at presciil, there liaviiig
been eoii-;iderable rain i:itel_v.

After Morris was ()ltiw.i with its

hiss works and soine fine l)llll{llllg.S.
Flore the land is more rolling with a
growtli of' oak, etc, but we still find
the saiidstoiic cropping out in plzici-s.

Corn and grziss seviii to be the

rincipal crops. So far corii seeins to
a medium crop. The road for sev-
eral llllll‘S is located iii :1 valley with
blutllx ot' S:1ll(l\lullP in siglit froiii ‘J0 to
80 feet or lIl0I'L-. in lieiglitli, uearl y per-
pendiciilar.

Lftsalle, with its brick and quarries,
should be of sonic llllpUl'L1ll(36 but very
little of’ the town is in sight. lVe no-
tice a new line of It. R. being built
here.

Before We reach Grenesee We come
on the prairie with its niiles of level
Iurface covered with corn and grass.
with the corntields not very clean, nor
yields as heavy as I expected to see.
AMichigan farmer would ask “what
shall I do for straivt” it stacks were as
scarce here. \Ve find some good farni
buildings witlivmediuni riad=,—-t'iis
section liaviug the appearaiice of being
fairly prosperous, and here night over-
takes us.

Des Moiiies at 6 o’clock, 3 hours late.
Country inoderatcly rolling with bet-
ter fariiiing than in llllllol-.7, with good
stock. We  more corn crllis but not
full. Grass, short but fresh. quite .-i

ood deal ofcorn iiislioci-: which would
Iiidicate that hay is short. |.3oiisidci'-
able scrub oak but not iiiucli good tini-
ber is seen. As we go we~‘t the rroiiuli'y

rows more lll:t'.\’f;'ll. As: we iic:ir

)extci' we tind liiiie rock or S2lllll<l()lll*.
with good corn and l:ii~;_re tiehls.
Fences are coiiibination iiosird and
wire and all wire with i)Sflf_"(3 and wil-
low hedge. Most of the f‘:u'iiis have
nice groves grown around their biiild-
uigs.

Quite a large area i~ being plowed.
I resume for spring wheat. We see
afldw morcstraiv i-tricks than in Illinois,
Stuart, with some R. It. shops, is sur-
rounded by a fine f'ai-niingcouiitry with
good iinproveineiits. It looks badly,
to a Michigaii farinei', to see so many
Ilouligs or damp places where corn
fields follow around them leaving

4 strips of green.

The fartlier we go the more uneven
the country grows and there are short-
er curves in the tiack, the road being
very crooked. After dividing the
train at Des Moines We begin to gain
time.

From and around Wiota and Atlan-
tic the country improves, I think,

artly by better f.-irmiiig and farm
Buildings, with very good ori:li:ii'ds
an lgroves,_voung of course but tlirif't_v.
At Atlantic we find a good school
building, mill and brick llllSlllf3S9‘
places with two It. Rs. and plenty of
Ihade trees; looks pro-pei-oils.

As We near Avoca we see more horses
Ind plenty ot cattle, feed looks better
and we see tcsiiiis in corn fields with
men huskiiig. ().it~; ieelll to be one of‘
the crops here. toads are good_ but
not so many of them as in 1\lichig:iii.
Avoczi. is a. young city in appezimiice
with two It. R. and good buildings.
Saw more corn in oril) tli-.iii :iii_vwln:re
on the route. Country improves and
fariniiig is good. At Shelby, only
three hours late.

Shelby is a thriving town of 500 in-
habitants, with a steam flour mill,
two elevators, three nice clinrches with
In appe:ir.~iiicc of’ thrilt and growth.
Here our trieiids meet us and we spend
8 few days very pleasaiitly. Corn is
the main crop and as you look at the
long line of cribs, ll) it-et_ wide, and
over one and one half miles long if
placed in one line, you r:.oii_cliide there
must be a large auiount raised.

Moiiday inoriiing .-"cos us ilgjlllll on

very nllliill oi ll.~‘l.('l’t)1JUll litiiiil.

The country l‘(:llllllll.~' about the snine,
rolling and uucvcii. What siii'pi'i.~i=s
me the most is to see the i:lI'lll(_‘l‘.s sull-
iiig corn at 2.’) and 39 cents per bushel
when pork and beef bring the sauie
price as in lilicliigan. When Michi-

an farmers on higiier priced land are
ing the same corn and expect :1
mm, after paying 47 ceiita or rnore
meg handling, if there is a prolit in

the latter what should there be in tiie
foriiier? I think part of the trouble
is in the way hogs are li:indlcd. Far-1
iners seem to expect their lings to
thrive and grow without gi':i.-2:. and
fresli w:itcr and escape the cholera,
which is a llllsltlht‘ that has been a very
co.-tly expi-i'i<-iicc to iii:iii_v.

(hi we ru.~ili willi the other train by
the side. si-ciiiiiigly trying to rc:icli the
city first but their time table is the
sune as ours. We see more tiiiibcr.
but small, sliowing that in the future
Iowa iiiay overcome the iianie of‘ a
trecless state.

Council Blnfl'.~i, with its stir and
i'ailro:i.(ls, is where most or all lines
centre so as to make connections with
the Union Pacific lines and cross the
river.

A few miiiiites late and nine and one
halt" hours to Wait,———a good time to see
the cit_v but trying to a pcrsoifs tem-
per. Onialia must be seen to be ap-
preciated with its contrasts of’ very
poor buildings opposite or close to
large blocks. I.ls niieveii siirfiices
make one think of‘ Grand Rapids, the
streets being lowered. leaving build-
ings high above the streets. The soil
st-enis to be a kind of clay staiidiiig
where there are pcrpciidicular cuts 15
to 20 feet high.

Here we saw an earlli inover drziwii

Revenue and Patent Laws

are two laws that need revising. Tariff
laws are often eiiactcd more to lieiieiit.

iiiiporters, than in the interest of' the
general public.

Aii_v article that can be made in the
United States siitlicieiit to supply the
home tlellltllltl should be protected by
a taritf equal to the difi'erence of the
cost of" labor in its productioii in this
country and the co.-t of labor to pro-
duce the saiiic article in other couii-
tries. \Ve don’t want to see labor dc-
graded in this country to the forcigii
staiidard.

No class are more desirous for free
trade than the wealthy iiiiporters; and
wliy? llccaiisc they can ni:ikc more
prolit on one tlioii.s;i.inl dollars’ worth

Any useful invention should be pro-
tected to the inventor ag:1in.~:t anyone
iiifriiigiiig in its iiiaiiut':ictiii'e, but
should have no claim on the innocent
user who has bought the article in
open market and paid the inarket. value
for it. As well might a wholesale iner-
cliant selling a stock of goods to 11
country iiiercliant who fails to ply for

A Woman's Word.

Oh! even when the happy laugh is dumb,

All the joy gone, and all the anguish come-

When strong adversity and subtle pain

Wring the sad soul and rack the throbbing
brain—-

When friends once faithful, hearts once all
our own,

Leave us to weep, to bleed and die alone-

When fears and cares the lonely thoughts em-

lo ,

Andetlcuds of sorrow hide the sun of joy—

When weary life, breathing reluctant breath,

Hath no hope sweeter than the hope ofdeath,

Then the best counsel and the last relief,

To cheer the spirit or to cheat the grief,

The only calm, the only comfort heard

Comes in the music of a. woman’s word-

Like beacon bell on some wild island shore,

Silvery ringing in the tempest s roar.

Whose sound, borne sliipward, through the
midnight gloom,

Tells of the path and turns her from her
doom.

—Edwin Arnold.

Elizabeth Fry.

From a house of Norinan Barons the
Gurncvs wcrcilesceiidcil and Catlierine
Bell iviis great gniudilziiigliterot Rob-
ert I5:ircl.iy, the apologist of the Qua-
kers. From .a union of tlicsc two i~iini-
lies sprung the world rcuowiiord phil-
antliropi.~'t whose clforts in bi-half of
suti'ering liumtinity have never been
siirpassetl.

“Eliztibctli Fry was born in Norwich
on the 21st of the fifth month, 1750.
She was the third diiiglifer of -John
Gurney, of Ezirlliam, in the County oi‘
Norfolk, and (,‘ailici'ine, daughter of
John llcll, :1 mi-ri-Ii-int in London."

Aliliougli never strong pliy.~ii.-ally.
subject froui her youth to great suffer-
iiig, slic a'l‘t‘lll.~’ to have developed a inas-
terful intellect. \Vc are told that as a
young lady she was pleasing in 1N§l‘.~‘I‘!ll.
of a gentle temper, but a strong will.
and no one entered with grcatcr_di--
light into the social ainuseincnts of her
tather’selegant lioine—E:irlh:im llall-—
supposed to have been one of the most
cliariiiing private l'(3a'ltiElll'(‘S in lin-
gland. The daughter of Friends, she
had not at this time adopted the plain
language and dress. But at the age of
17 she began to tisk herself the ques-
tion, Is not “worldly comp:in_\“’ inju-
rious? The szune year she inade these
rules for lierself:

“Never lose anytime. I do not think
that lost which is spent in tunuscinent
or recreation, some time every d-.t_\ ; but
alivays be in the habit of being em-
ployed.

“Nevc-r c-rr the least in truth.

“Nevei'.~ay an ill tliin,-' of pcrsoiis
when I can say a good thing oi them:
not only speak clizu-it:i‘ol_v, but feel so.

"Never be irritablc or unkind to any-
body.

"Never indulge myself in lllXtll‘lI‘_.'.~
that are not iiccc.<s:ii‘y'

"Do all things with considi-r:it'ion.
and when ui_v path to act right is most
dilficult, teel conlidi.-ucc in that po's'.'cr
that alone is able to tissist mo. and ex-
ert my own powers as far as they go.“

The following year she bi-g_r:in lIt‘l'
Sunday evening i'ezidings in the llible.
About this time while visiting the
dock ytirtls at Plyiiioutli she was con-
scious ofagrcat desire to do soioi-tliinu‘
for the sailors and women. This wish
to do something for the degraded poor
was followed by such earne:~.t doing
that she won for lierself the deserved
name of the “feintile llow:ird.”

When 20 _\'e:u's old she married Jo-
seph Fi'_\', ot Upton. Essi:x. in 1613
her attention was attracted by the de-
plorable state 01 the fein.-ile pri.-'oucrs
at Ncwgatc, that home of vice and ti ltli

to the prison where she instituted :i
school, pi-ovidtgd work for the l§lllltlLL‘s
and a lli(‘.‘lllH of Cliristian lll.~‘[l'll(',ll\)ll.
She torined an ‘u-tssocizitioii tor the
llllpl‘t)\'l_'l|l(tllt of the fenialc pi-isoiiei's

not do for this blot on the t':iir face of
Eiiglaiidl’ The :llll,‘iillt)ll not only of
all l:lugland but oi all liurope, yes, the
World, was attracted to her work. Our
own John ltandolpli when in Eagltiiid
said to a friend:

“Two days ago I saw the ;_ri'e:itcst

gland, too, sir, coiiipared to whit,-,h

own sect, it is truly wonderful the
Work she accoiiiplislieil:

In a poem read at the unveiling of
her bust. at Friends’ School, Provi-
dence, R. l., Septeinbcr, 1655, J. G.
Whittiei' eulogizcs her thus:

“Tender as mother, beautiful as wife,

Amidst the throngs of prisoned crime she

stood,

In modest raiment, faultless as her life,
The type of England’s worthiest woman-
hood.

And Pride and Fashion felther strong appeal,
And priest and ruler marvelled as they saw
How hand in hand went wisdom with her zeal,
And wonian’s pity lrept the bounds of law.”

She published a small book on prison
inaiiageineiit which had a very wide
circulatioii and is said to be of great
value to-day.

Beside the societies before mentioned
she founded a "Training School 101'
Young, Destitute Girls,” a ‘*District
Visiting Society,” a “Scrv-aiits’ Socie-
ty,” a "Society for the lteforuiationof
Juvenile Ot1'cndcrs,” and establislied
“Homes for Discliarged Convicts.” Li-
brtiries for the Coast Guard Service,
etc. To but mention all the good work
done by this zealous woman would till
a volume.

She was not exempt from cares and
sorrows. Loss of children, friends and
wealth were crosses that had to be
borne; but one of her biograpliers says,
-‘She was iuucli the saine in siiiisliiiie
and sliadow, in losses and in pros-
pcrity.”

l-‘or forty-eight years she toiled foi-
others. dying at the age of sixty-iivc.
She Iziitlifiilly fulfilled llL'l' steward
~'liip. A friend once saiil to her, “You
have made great. s:ici'itii'e.~‘,” and slu-
replied, “I cannot call them sacrifices:
it ivas my ilcliglit.”

To have done but a tithe of tlicgood
this woman did is to have lived to ti
purpose.

Wlicn we consider the work she did
III the lllllll.~‘ll'_V as well as in public and
priv:itccli:irit_v we wonder how could
.-he livlp but (as Dickens sa_vs) "leave-
her own home to run to waste and
ruin.” But we are told on good an-
tliority that, "Tlic beautiful h:irmon_\
of this noble woiii:in’s cli:ir.ictcr is iiev—
er more apparent than in observing_:
how punctilious she was in the dis-
rliargeof the smallest duties and how
carefully aiul conscientiously she filled
her responsible position of wile and
mother and mistress of a large lion.~'e-
hold. Ilerintiny sons and daughter.-
were trained by her for the business of
life. In this work she was assisteil b_\
tcac-liei's and schools but she pci'soiiall_\'
superinteudeil their moral training and
allowed no pressure of outside work
and no sense of weariness on her part
toiiitcrfcre between herscli and ma-
ternal duties. She was severe and tin
rt‘-lenting with her.-elf. but to her chil-
dren. to her l1t)ll~'t3l1i)ltl, to all with
whom she had ti':iiis:u-.tioiis, she was
:il\v:i_\‘s the 'eli:irity that Sllllt-l'(‘tlllt)1I,g

the beginning of manhood is made in

that within tne limits of very inriny

liusbzind and fatlu,-r. who but for this
crime (for it is nothing less) might
have blessed instead ot blighted its sa-
cred privileges. Let us look within
the precincts of only one such and
learn ti little soiiicthiiig of the true
heroism, the unprecedented love and
affection manifested by one worthy
woman as We come to know the fate of
her idiotic children. Four of them

were born to her when the father’s
weekly riotous abuse ended in brutali-
ty and the results were children per-
fectly helpless at the age 0! four _\'c:irs_.
unable to walk a stop, incapable of
speech, making a strange, hideous noise
and almost constantly throwing up
their hands in a writhing, reeling
manner, exeinplifying the conduct of
their father when into\'icated. One af-
ter anotlii-r such offspring was brought
into this home and one after another
they died at about the age of four
years, one only living to the age ofsix.
And yet this mother loved and clung
to these helpless ones, giving them her
constant. care—beyoud anything rea-
sonable to disinte_restcd minds.

Soon after the death of the last child
the fatlier reformedaiid becamca sober
man and an honored citizen,and two
boys have been born to them, both
smart and intelligent. \Vlio can fancy,
even in a slight degree, tlieinisery and
suffering, tne inagiitininiity of that
\voinan’s lite? A more enlightened
mind would not, perhaps, have held
itself responsible to such rel:itions long‘-
cr than the birth of one child: but we
can not any the less admire the forti-
tude and lieroisni shown in the life and
t.'.ll2ll'2l(2l'.(’l‘ of one who knew no escape
and lived true to the highest. instincts
that duty dcnianded, and tzulitllllltftl to

Poor Human Nature.

Mrs. Brown was tired and discour-
aged. Things had been going wrong
all day. Baby was fri.-ttiil, requiring
much attention; Johnnie had cut his
fort, and his eoniplaints and deinandfl
were m:1n_v and iin pi-rativi-: and. lastly,
the head ot the tamily had been impa-
patient at ln'eakfast. reinarking with
corrugated brow that their steak wal
never done and the toast always
burned; :iiid then the dinner had not
been spiced with smiles or sociability
either. Joliiinie’.-z and baby’s wishel
must first be complied With, and by
the time Mrs. B. was ready to sit
down to table everytliiiig was cold
and unp-.il:itable, and Mr. B. was just:
tinisliing his pudding and sipping his
last cup of coffee. And so the long
day had worn on and night had come
at last; and now with Joliimic safely
stowed away in bed, and baby asleep
in her crib, the weary, overtaxed
mother sat down to rest. Tliis was
not just the kind of lite she had planned
l'or Item-li, she s.-idly mused. blie had
thought to do sonictliing out of the

On the snowball. where the leaves roll

up and protect the lice, it is found that
an appliczrtioii of this mixture, in the pro-
portion of. one to eight, used just before
the plant lit-e c'.:;7:;-1 batch, is astuiishingly
eflicicut. ’l’lris errly tsuatiiicrit is abso-
lutelynt-ccssiiry in such cases as the snow-
ball, aml  to be rer;or:ii:ir»in',ed on the
score of economy in case of nursery stock
and fruit trees. At an early stagze it is
less ditiicirlt to make tlioroiu-.li application
than after the tree or plant; is in full
foliage.

The liqriid must bevapplicd with energy;
I gentle sprinkling is,1:r,-t sullicicnt; it
ought t.o'be put. on with ll. good force

Propagating by Layers.

A layer, says Mr. A. S. Fuller in Amer-
ican Agriculturist, is only 9. cutting that
is allowed to rciiiziin attaclied to the pa-
rent plant until it has produced roots
throueli which it may collect sustenance
for self support.

Large Fields and Lung Rows.

Mr. Boriliziiri. secretary of the Ohio

being: one of his .~p'.‘('ialties. To make
pork profimlily .\lr. llonham grow.’-; lzir'gL-
qriaiititiesof corn to be fed with other
food. Iiis corn fields contain twenty-live
acres eiiclr and are 110 rods long and
about 0iic—tliirrl that width. The corn is
planted in check rows so it can be culti-
vated both ways. ’l‘o illustrate the dif-
ference iri cost of cultivating large and
small field:-i Mr. T. B. Terry, who recently
visited Mr. Boiiham, tells in The Country
Gcntleinan that one of these tweiity-five
acre fields can be cultivated the long way
in three (lays, while the cross cultivation
the short way takes four and at half days.
The New England F2l.!'llJQI', ('0lXlI1l8I‘;I.lllf.‘,'
on the above, says: “In 1885 the cost of
the corn in the crib, exclusive of land rent,
was $5.20 per acre, or nine cents per
bushel. Including the rent of land the
cost would be about $13 per acre. And
this is the same wliethcr the crop be
large or small. If 11.=0 bushels are pro-
duced per acre the cost per bushel would
consequently be only tliirtceii cents, while
a crop of fifty bushels would cost twenty-
six cents per liusliel. The avei'a5.:e yield

six bushels the cost must be about fifty

TIEIIE3 G-HANG-E VISITOR.

.Nov. l, I887.

Michigan Beautiful.

DEAR CoUsiNs:—“l’ve a wandcriiig
been.” We read so many beautiful
descriptions of October among the
pit-tiiresqiie scenes of the White
nioiiiitaiiis, the L‘atskill ete., telling
how grand is n.it.ui'c robed in her"eoat
Ofiiiany eoloi's.” We think that all
true and it niakes some of our hearts
ache to think we can not behold that
grandeur. it seems quite natural for
the human race to long for something
8 good ways ofl', when it hzisjust as
good, if not better. close to its own
doors. This is not only true about
something -‘to wear," or salaries, but
regarding the views near us. The
other daya party of us started fora
tramp. The boys had their guns and
s hatchet, the girls, baskets. The
Woods in the western part of Michigan
contain in the form of game some par-
tridge, once in a while it little wood-
cock, an abundance of wild grapes that
are very good, and becchnuts; and
along the Paw Paw river and some
other places, paw paw apples; around
the eiigcs ofcane brake swaiiips bhiek
haws grow.

The woods are very hilly with little
dates at their feel; some oftlie v:ille_\'s
and ravines cont'.:iiii sunill swamps,
caused by water that comes girgling
out of the hillside, clear and sparkling
as irom any inountain region. As I
sat down on a large stone that was
Ili().~'~'('.i)\'L‘I'0.l, (and when l \v:is zi little
girl I was told that an iuiliaii was
buritd under llltis'.‘9'«t‘t)\'(fl't5tl stones.)
1 thouglii can there be :1 lovlicr .,~‘pot'.’
Can there be lU\'lltfl'tllIlt‘tllIl:l1)lCs
than those on the hiilyondcr':‘ Can
there be aiiotiier wild chi-i'i'y tree that
Will hold in its long .‘il‘ill.~ il"'ll21i"ll)-\-
rintii of wild gt-:i.,~.~ vi. -~ l‘ii« i ~i
heavily with its \..l.et tJ€liiL~tl...l
yellow leaves? And ended my reverie
by saying, “I don’t lielieve that the
Adirondacks are one bit lovelier than
Michigan woods in October, with their
carpets of brown, yellow and green.”

We came back lioiue with our bas-
kets laden with the trophies of 0iil'
I“dIill)l(5—-Vvlltl grapes, bceciinuts, paw
paw apples, autumn leaves and ferns,
and with it deteriiiiiiation to place
Michigan on the iiuiuber one list, not
only in iron, copper and salt but in the
beauty of her woods in the mellow
month ot‘tlie year. -

This is western Michigan. Hoping
some of the coiisins will tell us about
the northern, eastern and southern
parts, I am very truly, your cousin.

-——:—-—-—o—-—————————~
A Briaritic Reverie.

Who has not listened to the voice of
nature as he walked by the side of:i.
purling rivulet, rippling over its
gravclly bed, winding tliri.-ugli grten
fields, and ilowiirg into iuziny a woody
deli only to escape and flow onward,
WiihUl.lt f'e.-ling that n:itnre is su-
premely beaiitifnl? Who has not
heard her voice in ilie distaiit roll of
tliuni‘ici' and not felt that she was alike
sublime? Nature has another voice,
however, whit-.li neither finds expres-
sion in the purling riviilet nor the
mighty Niagai'a-—iicitiier does it well
up from the throats of b'pi'ing’s early
songstcrs nor burst from the crater of
6 Vesuvius.

In 2;. silent voice nature speaks

“To him who in the love of nature holds
Coinmuiinion with her visible forins,"—

A voice when once listened to, can but
be obeyed. Witness that renowned
philosoplicr, born and brought up be-
neath the beneficent influence of
Italiaii skies, who was made to :-vwear
on bended knees that the earth did not
revolve around the Sun and as he aroae
from before that august body, the
Ronnin Inquisition wliispiwcil, "E pu r
si niuore”: “It. does not inovc never-
tlI('less”. \Vhat but an infinite love of
nature could prompt that ni:in to hold
to those unpopular tlieorii-sagain-‘t all
the so called science and all the law of
that time?

NtilUl'0 revealed to him the great
truth through that. iiisigiiiticaiit bit.
of lead pipe, his oiil_v telescope, and he
saw and believed. Think again oftliat
man whose ii.-ime is forever assot-i:iteil
with the fall of an apple and whose
mind, toiling patiently for _vc:ii-s,
brought. out at last, beautifully
moulded,tlie theory ofgravitatioii. Can
anyone believe that Sir Isaac Newton
as he sat beneath the apple tree and
witnessed that common phenomenon,
the fall‘ of an apple allowed for an iii-
stant, a thought of farne or foitiiiie to
enter his mind as a I'0Will'(l for his la-
bors? Yet anotlicr example of a man
Whose irime has been on the lips of
every one,-—-a. man who studied for
years, with it pritieiice rivalling New-
ton’.~i own, the habits ofe:irtii’s lowliesl;
creation, the angle worm, and finally
builded tip the theory of the ft)I‘IIi:I-
tion of vegetable iuoiild. He did it
not for f'ainr,oi' fortuneioi' he liad both.

This voici:——tliis silent \'oi(’L', coiues
not from the outside but Wells up
within lliflli himselfand calls him con-
staiitly onward to become l)(‘ll(‘l' and
better zuzquaiiitetl with ii:ttiIi'e’s works
and ways. Since nature hand rocked
inecradlc in wliicii the liuiiiaii race
was born, she taught that race to
obey lif,'l‘Sllelil'. calls and this voice;
‘his feeling has been developed from
the untutored savage, who, ages ago,
l‘iv:I.iIl(‘(l over the wilds of that far
e'a~itern country where flows the Eu-
phrates aiid towers, the snow-covered
peaks of the mighty Hinialayas. And
that this is truiy an ample ri-ward is
evident when we think and feel wli:it
Kepler thought anal telt:ii‘ti-,r ill.s‘t7U\'t‘l'-
iug those three laws ivliii-li lie at the
base of the science of astrononiy ex-

, claimed:

“Nothing holds me. The
die is cast. The book is written to be
read now or by posterity, I care not
which. It may well waita century
for II. reader, since God has waited
6000 years for an observer,”

There is ajoy beyond measure for
the discoverer of it new truih—a joy
which none other can exceed for him
who adds to his knowledge by his own
ext 'tious.

This silent voicc—this cxpressionicss
laiigii.-ige—consIitutcs the poetry of
sciciii-c. Coiisidci' the flower of the
lowly agweeil. Can there be any-
thing beautilul, anvthing poetical
about this plant which powders us
with its yellow pollen when we at-
tempt to pass? ‘Vt-. never admire its
flowers as we do the beautiful rose or
the stately lily, yet the botanist finds
as much poetry in its little flower as
in the exuberant bloom of a flower
garden. Having to depend upon a
breath of wind or a chance passer by
to distribute its pollen he knows that
it does not need the gaudy plumage of
so many other flowers, but, neverthe-
less he can see within its folded calyx
the wonderful iiiystcries of nature
workii-zg tlieiiisclves out as truly as he
wlio watches the Alpine glacier slow-
ly moving down its mountain gorg'e,
or he who sees the mighty ev:il:uielm
plunging over the pri-eipii-es oftlie
Jiiiigtraii, and his mind is filled with
the ])l1l‘fl'_\' \vliii'li cw-I‘ l)f‘l".'.‘i’.ll‘~‘ the
lowiicst as well as the liigiicst of
ii:it.iire's works. Consider again, this
little llllllOllt'Cil pebble. How it be-
comes siii-rotiiiiled with a halo of
poetry when we think that it once
t'oi-ined a part of those rocky illllsses
lying around Lzike b'uperioi' and that
it has been t-.:ii'rieil upon it river of ice
down to the shore of that aiiciciit
ocean which once covered this land
many feet lieiir-zith its icy siii'tlii.'c.
Then floziting out on an iceiir-i'g lifts
been dropped, perhaps, in the very
spot. where it now lies until ceiitury
l~‘ll('l'(‘,l‘.tT(§(l ('t‘.liilll‘_V and the oceaii, re-
ceding, left dry all this fair land.
Again year alter year away down
among the dead ages and the land be-
came covered with 11 dense foi'est
through which roamed the wild in-
dian, years, centuries, ages after, civil-
ization came sweeping all before it
:nid'the wiiite man found the pebble
and read its story. We feel the pee-
try which surrouiids this little peb
bio for it constitutes a stanzii from
"lll‘ti grand epic written by the finger
of God upon the strata of the (‘.‘ll'llI.
Pursuing the fairy like history of this
pebble fai't.lier, we learn that those
forces which toi'e it from its foriuer
hoine are still in operation anal will
eveiitually lock this hind again in the
icy einbracc of a pcrpetii.~il Winter.
That those glai-.ici's, \VlliCI1 strewcd tile
lzind with iiinty pebbles and great
Iioiilili-is, will again grind and score
these hills.

“There is :1 pleasure in the patiile-‘s woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society wheie none iutrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar;

I love not iiian the less, but nature more,

From these our interviews, in which

steal
From all I may he or have been before,
To mingle with the universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all can
ceal "

It is Absurd

For people to expect a cure for Indiges-
tion, unless they refrain from eating
what is unwholesome; but if anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
to the digestive organs. it is Ayer-’s Sar-
saparilla. Tliousands all over the land
testify to the merits of this medicine.

Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth
street, South Boston, writes : “ My lins-
‘band has taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilia, for
Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has
been greatly benefited."

C
A Confirmed Dyspeptzc.

0. Canterbury, of 141 :'V::i.ikliii st.,
Boston, Mass., writes, that, stiiiiwing
for years from Indigestion, lie was at
last induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.

Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street,
Holyoke, Ma.ss., suffered for over a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians, nor any of the remedies
advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia.
helped her, until she commence! the
use of Ayer’s Sarsapar. la. “T‘i-ee
bottles of this medicine." she writes,
“ cured me."
