SILENT GBIEFS.
There are sighs unheaved, there are tears un
wept,
'There are lutes unstrung, there are harps un
swept,
There are griefs unknown, there are thoughts
untold,
There are hearts that beat warm when they
seem but cold,
There are loves unlost when they seem so dead,
There are wounds unseen that have often bled,
For the soul seels most when in silence deep,
It lives unheard as the winds in their sleep.
There aie sorrows very dark that o’ercloud our
way.
And that shade the heart in our life’s glad day.
There are joys unfelt, there are hopes unfed,
There are pledges hushed, there are vows un
said,
There are flowers dead amid the blooming leaves,
There are treasures lost among the golden
sheaves,
There are memories sweet, and we love them
well,
But the eye grows dim as their currents swell.
There are friendships gone like the dews of morn,
There are smites now turned to the coldest
scorn,
There are dreams we loved in the days gone by,
When the sun was warm and so bright our sky,
That are past like spray on the ocean's breast,
When the storm has ceased and her waters rest,
And the heart grows sad that its loves have fled,
And its hopes are gone and its garlands dead.
There are scenes we knew that are faded now,
There are gathered wreaths and a shaded brow,
Tbeie are songs unsung that we loved to hear,'
When the be-rt was fresh and'its pleasures near.
There are footsteps hid in the sands of Time,
There are voices stilled in this earthly clime,
But the echoes come from the boundless shore,
That lies beyond in ths vast evermore’.
There are prayers we breathe for the ones we
love,
While we linger here from our home above,
Yet we smile to think our griefs will cease,
And our hearts rejoice in an’endless peace.
Far away above the ethereal blue,
Where each soul is glad and each heart is true,
We will live in love, and her radiant beam
Will inspire the soul with a heavenly dream.

Eli Love, of Wayne county, Ohio,
climbed a tree to shake out a coon. The
dogs heard something drop and went for
>it, but it was not the coon. It was Eli.
Jones says he always makes up his
mind regarding the value of a horse by
the abundance,length and beauty of his
tail, for it’s a well-attested fact that “all’s
well that ends well.”
a man whoso body was found in
a nver, a coroner’s jury in Ireland re
turned the verdict that the individual
came to his death by a blow on the head,
“which waß given either before or after
drowning.”
A Sacramento dealer in hair oil, who
sold on the principle of “no cure, no
pay,” has sued one of his bald-headed
customers, and the latter demands a
bald headed jury, in order that he may
be tried by his peers.
This is highly colored: “The lilacs are
budding,” says a western editor. “You
lilac Satan,” responds one of his readers.
“You violet truth,” politely replied the
editor, and both are given over to the
blue devils.
A French gentleman learning English
to some purpose, replies thus : “How do
you do, monsieurt” ’“Do vat s” “How
do you find yourself ?” “I never loses
myself.” “How do you feel?” “Smooth.
You just feel me.”
“Does the train start this ovening at
thirty-five minutes past six as usual?”
asked an elderly lady of a railroad em
ploye. “No; it leaves at twenty-five
minutes to seven,” was the reply. “Dear
me, dear me; how they do change these
trains.”
“Sir,” said the astonished landlady to
a traveler who had sent his cup forward
for the sixth time, “you must be very
fond of coffee?” “Yes, madam; I am,”
ho replied, “or I never should have drank
so much water to get a little.”
An epicure in Vermont writes to his
local newspaper that having indulged
freely in the eating of frogs, his hands
are now covered with what the doctor
calls “tumorous enlargements of the vas
cular pupillse and indurations of the
surrounding epidermis”—that is, warts.
A guardian of the peace in New York
made his first essay as a mounted police
man last week by grasping the horse’s
tail and attempting to climb up that
way. The surgeon subsequently re
marked that no horse ever had a finer
opportunity, or took advantage of it
with such infinite scorn of the eonse
quences.
North Adams has a tailor long known
for his keen, pungent wit. Not long
since a well-known clergyman called at
his shop with a pair of pantaloons, and
asked him if they could be repaired.
The night of the shears unrolled them,
held them up in a most artistic manner,
carefully examined them, and replied:
“Yes, yes; the ‘knees’ are the best part
of them.” The reverend gentleman saw
the joke, smiled blandly and gracefully
bowed himself out.
Thero is no place on earth that can
excel San Francisco in fleas. They are
very large and healthy, and they are
done up in a thicker crust than those of
any other section. One way to kill them
ia to drill holes in their backs, blow them
up five or six times with nitro-glycerine
until they become a little faint, then lay
them on a railroad track, letting the
freight trains run over them for a week
or two. By that time they are likely to
be dead and can be used for coal-hole
covers,
One morning in Los Animos, Colora
do, Molly Howard was found dead in
her cabin. She had been murdered, and
the murderer was believed to be one of
three men in the settlement—a Mexican,
a negro, and a Yankee. They were ar
rested, and after Molly’s funeral a mob
visited them in jail. The delay of a fair
trial was not to be endured, and after
some discussion a novel plan for select
ing the guilty man was tried. The Yan
kee was taken out first, hurried to a con
venient tree, and a rope was noosed
around his neck. "Now,” said one of
the lynchers, "what have you got to say
afore being hung ?" Had the scared
wretch denied his guilt he would have
been spared, and another of the three
prisoners tested ; but believing that hope
was vain, he confessed the crime and
was hanged.
Dr. Congdon, Superintendent of the
New York State Inebriate Asylum, treats
drunkenness as a disease. He says that
in the incipiency of intemperance men
are. free moral agents, morally accounta
ble, but a stage is reached in which the
conscience and will power are rendered
inactive —the tissues of the brain become
so thoroughly diseased that it ceases
to perform its functions. After the phy
sician has brought the patient out of the
first, paroxysm of the disease, physicaj
reconstruction goes on, and as the bodi
ly strength increases, the faculties ap
proach their normal condition, and con
science and will begin to assume control.
The majority of the patients are profes
sional men, including lawyers, physi
cians, and clergymen.
The miners who have been for the
last two months fighting fire at the Em
pire mine, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., have
ceased work, having become* convinced
that their efforts to control the fiery ele
ment were becoming more hazardous
and unavailing each day. Subsequent
events prove that their apprehensions
were not unfounded, for last week a most
extensive caving of the mine occurred,
exceeding in extent the fall at the Balti
more mine, which took place a short time
since. Great consternation prevails in
the neighborhood of the mine, and fami
lies are preparing to leave the dangerous
proximity. The fire now has free scope
and threatens to ruin uttei’ly one of the
most valuable possessions of newly
formed "Wilkesbarre and Lehigh Coal
Company.
It seems to be conceded that all Dem
crats, except Thurman and Bayard—cer
tain preliminary motions failing—will
support Carpenter’s Louisiana election
bill, which it is stated will be altered to
bold the election in November instead of
May. Carpenter is quoted as having
said that "the Republican party can only
avoid defeat by unloading Louisiana.”
The change of date will be made to con
ciliate the industrial interests. Pressure
is brought to bear upon Senator West,
to the army appropriation bill
fffr the Louisiana case, so that the peo
ple may know what to expect. The ar
my bill will occnpy fully ten days.
An artist who painted a portrait for a
gentleman noted for his frequent liba
tions, invited the gentleman's friends to
see it. One of them who was rather
near-sighted, approached it ico closely,
and the artist, in alarm, exclaimed:
‘•Don’t touch it, it ain’t dry!”
“No use looking at it then,” replied
tho old gentleman, “It cannot be my
friend.”
This is how a country exchange puts
it:
The sad effects of matrimony were
never more teiibly depicted than tlie oth
er day, when a meek-eyed man, who had
been married about a year, patroled the
village street all day trying to swap a
meerschaum pipe for a second hand cra
dle.
A clergyman at the examination of the
young scholars of his Sunday school,
put the following question: “Why did
the people of Israel set up a golden
calf?”
“Because they hadn’t money enough
to put up an ox," was the reply of a lit
tle chap who took a dohar-and-cents
view of tl e matter.
I clasped her tiny hand in mine—and
clasped her beautiful form; I vowed to
shield her from the wind and from the
world’s cold storm. She set her beaming
eyes on me, and the tears did freely flow,
as she opened her little lips, and said—
“ Confound you, let me go.”
The bridge over the Kentucky river
on the Southern railroad will be the high
est on the continent. It is 27a feet about
low water, and has a span of 1,236 feet.
The towers, erected by John A. Roebhng
years ago, cost SIOO,OOO, and rise 365 feet
above low water. Nine bids have been
made to construct the bridge, eight for
the truss plan and one for a suspension
bridge, as originally contemplated.
The bill providing for a geological
survey of the State is generally consid- j
ered a wise and proper measure.

THE GREAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest and Side,
Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. Wistar’s
Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint.

Iron in the Blood
MAKES THE WEAK STRONG.
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect
ed Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature’s Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures “a thousand ills,” simply
by Toning up,lnvigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The en
riched and vitalized blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of tlio Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or a low
state of the system. Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not fol
lowed by corresponding reac
tion, but are permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and new
life into alt parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Con
stitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and wotnen; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a trial.
See that each bottle has PERU
VIAN SYRUP blown in the glass.

preparation, made chiefly from tlw na
tivo herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, tire medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without tho use
of Alcohol. Tho question is almost
daily asked, “What is tho cause of tho
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bu
tt: its?” Our answer is, that they remove
the catiso of disease, and the patient re
covers his health. They are tho great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of tho system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine beeu

invariably accompanied by extensive de

treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon those various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Buruiis,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which tin*
bowels are loaded, at the same film*
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
