A FATHER’S LONH VIGIL.

A few days ago the remains of Miss
Annie Brewer wero interred in a marble
sarcophagus constructed in the yard ad
joining her father's house in East Hart- j
ford, Connecticut Tho circumstances oi
this case are snd and peculiar. Miss
Brewer was the 16-year-old daughter of
Edward Brewer, a loading citizen. Slio
was the idol of her father, whoso whole j
life seemed to be wrapped up in her. A
week or two l>eforo Christmas she was
taken sick, and, after n short illness,
died. On her deathbed she expressed n ;
horror of being put into the ground, and
her father promised that she should not |
l>e. In spite cf the entreaties and per- j
suasions of tho friends and relatives, lie |
declined to allow the remains to be taken
from the house. The corpse wns dressed
for the grave and was enclosed in a hand- ,
some coffin, which was placed in the
parlor. Every day an undertaker visited
the house, and did what was necessary
to preserve the remains. Tho unhappy
father refused to lie comforted. IIo sat
by the coffin all day long, and it was
with great difficulty that ho could be
persuaded to snatch even a few moments
for his meals. In tho early evening he
retired to bed, but at about midnight
arose again, dressed himself, and re
turned to his vigil. Ho addressed to the
inanimate form words of endearing affi c-
lion, kissed tho marble lips, and passed
his hand across tho brow. When day
light came he returned to his lied for n
few hours, and then rose to go through
tin 1 same programme. Day and night
from the time of her death until about
the middle of April, these strange notions
wero kept up. At about that time Mr,
Brewer’s health broke down, and In
agreed to the removal of tho remains tc
a vault to be constructed on his own pre
mises and easily accessible, so that he
might still hold communion with his
child. It is in this vault, just com
pleted, that the girl’s long unhnriod re
mains wore placed. The ceremonies
wero simple and private.
A Happy Editor.
Thurlow Weed used to tell this story
of his newspaper life :—“ On Saturday,
after the issue of the tlrst number of my
paper my family reached Manlius,
finding me an exhausted treasury, the
last shilling having been that day ox-
jiended. How to bridge over the coming
Sunday was a question of some solici
tude. This delicate matter was affected,
however, by pledging with the groeei
an English bank token, a silver coin
nearly equivalent in value to an Amen-
s;;n half dollar. I had recoived this
piece ofmoney directly after the war,
when (ffai was as scarce as it is now in
1870. Tims provisioned for Sunday, we
passed that day in contentment, not
doubting that we should in tho future,
us in the past, ho provided for.
“On Monday morning, to my infinite
relief, a man appeared who asked if I
could do a job of printing for hint, to
which I responded affirmatively. He
wanted to advertiso a wool cording nrn-
ehine in the paper, and to lmvo fifty
copies of the same advertisement in
hand-bill form. Learning that I could
deliver him the hand-bills in the course
of three or four hours, he concluded to
wait for them. When they were de
livered, and 1 received a dollar and
twenty-five cents in payment, 1 experi
enced a sense of relief which words
would lint feebly describe, I accepted
and regarded it as providential. Tho first
thing done was to redeem the bank
token, which has remained ever since iu
the family as a cherished souvenir.”
How They Mee1.
The form of salutation that is usol be
tween friends and acquaintances varies
with tho individual who employs it. In
some eases it is intelligible and allows a
prompt and graceful reply, but in others
it confuses the mind, and is so couched
that the appropriate answer does not
always readiiy suggest itself. When,
for instance, an acquaintance meets one
and asks, “How do you do?" there is
evidently at band a wide range of re
sponses, from the refined “Very well, 1
thunk you,” to the coarser but not less
expression, “Bully!” or “Bang np!”
When tho inquiry is “How goes it?”
every man who knows anything about
property in causal intercourse replies
“>So, no”—a response vague in its form
but full of possibilities and suggestivo-
ness. No man, however, has yet de
vised a fitting response to him who
asks “What’s the good word?” and
many otherwise alert and brilliant minds
havo been reduced to the semblance oi
temporary idiocy by hearing the inquiry
made. We commend to the attention oi
those who are thus accosted by their ac
quaintances the reply which n certain
mau in New York city invariably maker
upon such an occasion. “What’s tho
good word?” says this gentleman,
“Well, ‘Heaven’ is a good word, and so
is ‘Paradise’ and ‘ hydrocarbon’ and
‘peristyle.’ ‘Typographical’ also has a
pleasing sound, and so has ‘genealogy,’
while ‘obsolescent’ seems to some an
agreeable combination of consonants
and vowels”—and thus saying lie skips
away, leaving the interlocutor for once
at the unoomfortable end of the col
loquy. _

things daring her lifetime, but when it

TV (Jm Editor qf the Democrat mnd Ckromtcl« ;
8m—My motives for the publication of the
most unusual statement* which follow uie,
fuel, gratitude for the fact lhat 1 have been
saved from a most horrible den h, i>n I, sec
ondly, a desire to warn all who rend this
statement against some of tho most droop,
tivo influences by which they have ever been
surrounded. It is a fact that to-day thous
ands of people uro within a foot of the grave
nnd they Jo not know it. To tell how I was
caught away from just this position, nnd (o
warn others against nearing it, are my ob
jects in this communication.
On the first day of Juno, 1881, I lay at my
residence in this city surrounded by my
friends and waiting for death. Heaven only
knows tho agony I then endured, for words
can tiexor describe it. And jot, if a few
jcais previous, OOy one had told mo that I
wa< to bo brought so low, and by so terrible
a disease, 1 should have scoffed at the idea.
I had always been uncommonly strong and
healthy, had weigh® 1 over 210 pounds nnd
hardly know, iu my own experience, what
pain or sickness wore. Very many people
who will read this statement realise at times
that they are unusually tired and cannot
aocouut for it. They feel dull nnd indefinite
pains in various purls of the body, and do
not understand it. ()r they are exceedingly
hungry one day and entirely without appetite
the next. This was just tho way i felt when
tho relentless malady which hnd fastened
itself upon me first begun. Still I thought
it wns nothing; that probably 1 had taken a
cold which would soon pass away. Shortly
after this I noticed a heavy, and ut times a
neuralgic, pain iu my bond, hut as it would
come one day nnd bo gone tho next, 1 paid
but little attention to it. However, my
stomnch was out of order und my food often
failed to digest, causing at times great in
convenience. Yet 1 had no idea, even ns a
physician, that these things meant nnytliing
Herious, or that a monstrous disease was be
coming fixed upon me. Candidly, 1 thought
I wns suffering from malaria nmlso doctored
myself accordingly. Hut 1 got no better. 1
next noticed a peculiar color un 1 oiler about
the lluids 1 was passiug—also that there wore
largo quantities one day and very litilo the
next, and that a persisient froth nnd scum
appeared upon the surface, and a sediment
settled iu (ho bottom. And yet 1 did not
realize my danger, lor, indeed, seeing these
symptoms continually, 1 finally bi o tine ac
customed to them, and my suspicion was
wholly disarmed by tho fact that 1 had no
pain in the affected orguiiH or in their vicin
ity. Why 1 should iiave boon so blind I
Cannot understand.
There is a terrible future for all physical
neglect, and impending danger always brings
a person to his souses, even though it may
then he too tale. 1 realized at lust my criti
cal condition and aroused myself to overcome
it. And, oil! how hard 1 tried. 1 consulted
the best medical skill iu the land. I visited
all the prominent mineral springs in America,
and (raveled from Maine to California. Htiil
1 grew worse. So two physicians agreed a*
lo my malady. One said 1 was t molded with
epinal irritation; another, nervous prostra
tion; another, malaria; another, dyspepsia;
another, heart disease; another, general de
bility; another, Congo.tion of the b.tso of the
binin; and so on through a long list of com
mon diseases, the symptoms of all of which
1 really had. In this way soveral years passed,
during all of which time 1 was steadily grow
ing worse. My condition lmd really become
pitiable. The slight symptoms I at first
experienced were developed into terrible and
constant disorders—the little twigs of pain
lmd grown to oaks of agony. My weight had
been educed from 207 to 1110 pounds. Aly
life was a torture to myself and friends. 1
could return no food upon my stomach, nnd
lived wholly by injections. 1 was a living
mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable.
In my agony 1 frequently fell upon the floor,
convulsively clutched the carpet, nnd prayeu
for denth. Morphine had little or no effect
in deadening the pain. For six days uml
nights 1 lmd the death premonitory hiccoughs
constantly. My urine was lillod with tube
casts and albumen. 1 was struggling with
Bright's Di-eimo of tho kidneys m its last
stages.
\\ hilo suffering thus I received a call from
my pastor, tho Itov. Dr. Fouio, rector of Si.
Haul’s church, of this city. 1 felt tlmt it was
our list interview, but in the course of con
versation lie mentioned a remedy of which I
lmd heard much, but lmd never used. Dr.
l'ootn do ailed to mo the many remarkable
cures w hich hnd come under his observation,
by means of this remoilv, nnd urged me to
try it. Asa practicing physician andn grad
uate of the schools,! cherished (lie prejudice
both natural nnd common wit i all regular
practitioners, and derided the idea of any
medicine outside the regular channels being
tho least beneficial. Ko solicitious, however,
was Dr. Foote tlmt I finally promised 1 would
waive iny prejudice and try the remedy he so
highly recommended. 1 began its use on tho
first day of June, and took it according to
directions. At first it siokeued me; but this
1 thought was a good sign for mo in my de
bilitated condition. I continued to take it;
tl e sickening sensation departed and I was
able to retain fc o l upon my stomach. In n
few days I noticed a decided clui'me for the
belter, as also did my wife and friends. My
Id 'coughs ceased mid I experienced less pain
than f irmerh . 1 w as so rejoiced at this im
proved conditi ui that, upon wlmt I had l>e-
lie'od hut a few days b fore was my dying
I e 1. I owed, iu the presence of my family
and fr.ends, should 1 recover I would both
publicly and privately make known this
re, edj or the good of huiimtdly, wherever
an I whenever I had an opportunity. J also
determined that I would give a course of
jeetures in the Corinthian Academyof Music,
in this city, suiting n full the symptoms ami
almost lio;iolesi-ue.-H of my disease and the
remarkable means by whioh I have lieon
saved. .Mj' improvement was constant from
that time, and in less than three months 1
laid gained twenty-six pounds in flesh, bo-
came entirely free from pain, and 1 believe 1
owe my life and present condition wholly to
H ainer’s Safe Cure, the remedy which I used.
Since mj recovery I have thoroughly reinves
tigated the subject of kidney difficulties and
Bright’s disease, and the truths developed are
astounding. 1 therefore stale deliberately,
and as a physician, that I believe moro than
one-half the deaths which occur in America
are caused by Bright’s disease of tho kidneys,
lliis may sound like u rash statement, but I
am prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s dis
ease has no distinctive symptoms of its own
(indeed, it often develops without any pain
whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity),
blit has the symptoms of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people die
daily, whose burials are authorized by a
physician s certificate of “ Heart Disease,”
“Apoplexy,” “Paralysis.” “Spinal Com
plaint, “Kheumatism,” “Pneumonia,”
and other common diseases, when in reality
it was Bright’s disease of the kidneys. Few
, hysioians, and fewer people, retdize tho ex
tent of this disease or its dangerous ami in-
sulious nature. It steals into the system like
a thief, manifests its presence by the com
monest symptoms, and fastens itself upon
the constitution before tho victim is aware.
It is nearly us hereditary as consumption,
quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire
families, inheriting it from their ancestors,
have died, nnd > et none of tho number knew
or realized tho mysterious power whioh was
removing them. Instead of common symp
toms it often f hows none whatever, but
brings death suddenly, and as such is usually
supposed to bo heart disease. As one who
h&s suffered, and knows by bitter experience
wlmt he says, I implore every one who reads
these words not to negloot tho slightest
symptom of luduey difficulty. Certain agony
and possible death will ho the suro result of
such neglect, nnd no one can afford to hazard
such chances.
I am aware that such an unqualified tale-
men t as this, coming from me, known as 1
aui throughout the entire land us a practi
tioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise
and po.fib'e onlmosit/ of the medic tl pro
fession, snd astonish nil with whom I no
sequB nted, hut I make the foregoing s'a (-
ments, based n; on fncts which I am prepared
lo produce, and truths winch I can subst m-
tiate to the letter. The welfare of thnso who
may possibly bo sufferers such as 1 was, is an
ample inducement for me to take Iho i-tiqi I
have, and if I can successfully warn other.-
from the dangerous path iu which I once
walked. I am willing to endure all profes
sional utul personal consequences.

A Boy Learned a Trade.
A writer in tho Boston Commercial
Bulletin, gives tho following illustrative
instance of tho way many a New Eng
land young man “catches on” to a trade:
“I knew a New England boy who wns in
the lmbit of frequently dropping in upon
an intelligent wheelwright and having a
ploiisnnt chat with him as ho worked.
In a little while tho visitor, who had his
own way to mnko in tho world, became
much interested in tho whoelmuking
work of his friend, and watched and
studied its various processes; and as to
watched and studied, concluded he, also,
would make wheels. In n short time he
got together tho needed tools, set up a
bench, and soon with his own nnuided
hands produced a passable set of wheels.
To ho sure they were not first class
wheels; but they were of some value,
and they brought lnm some money. He
kept on, and in timo made fine wheels;
nnd in further time built carriages on o
a large scale. Finally, ns ho said to nte,
he found this triulo had too many details
about it; an'd ho abandoned it for a busi
ness of a broader character, in which ]
lmvo reason to In lievo, ho has been very
successful. But did not my typical
wheelwright fully prove tho truth of tin
declaration of Adam Hmith, that any
man who cun put brains into his work
can, in a few weeks, or oven in a few
days, lcani enough of a mechanical nrf
to be worthy of wages in that trade,
fostnge Stamps Ruling Firm.
For seven years ho had boon a elm
tn tho ice business, but only a week oi
xo ago he was appointed a clerk in tin
postoffioe. One day he was stationed ni
Hie stump window. He sold three-rent
stamps for fifteen cents cnoh or four lot
half u dollar. One-cent stamps he tolo
the people were hard to get at any pace,
and ruled firm at seven cents, with a vis
iag tendency. Postal cards were lurid
at ten cents, and stumped three-ceut en
velopes wero three for a quarter. So
ciety raised a howl when he charged a
commission of ten per cent, for rcgistei
ing a letter, and charged exchange, dis
count, and commission on money orders
When the postmaster returned, there
was a scone. Tho young man listened
to reproach aud explanations. He ex
amined tho schedule of prices very care
fully, resigned immediately, and yent
back to tho ice business. “Tlmt
postoffioe," he told his father, “won’t
lust six weeks. You never saw such u
cut-throat business. They've no more
idea of a fair profit than they have of
the North Polo. Why, it would ruin the
government if all the offices sold stamps
fur nothing, as they do here. ’ And he
mmlo np his mind that he would write
to tho President and tell him how shame
fully the merchandise of the government
was being cut away down below Novem
ber prices right in the beginning of hot
weather
A Heavy Verdict.
Miss Annie B. Oraudell, a bright-eyed
Itunsol, tastefully attired in a red silk
dress and wearing a jaunty summer hat,
qipoorcd as plaintiff iu Judge Richard
O'Gorinan’s court, in New York city, in
a suit to recover $50,000 damages for
breach of promise of marriage against
William G. Quin, a blonde gentlcmun'of
youthful appearance. Miss Crumb 11 is
the daughter of Justice Craudell, of New
Baltimore, Greene county, and Mr. Quin
is the son of a wealthy plumber, for
merly living in New York. The parties
in flit* suit beeame acquainted in 1S74.
Mr. Quin at that time had not reached
his majority, and Miss Craudell was still
in her teens. The juvenile acquaintance
thus begun soon ripened into worm at
tachment, and Mr. Quin became a fre
quent caller upon Miss Craudell. Tho
young lady in tho winter frequently
visited her sister in Brooklyn, and it
was there Mr. Quia visited her. Miss
Craudell claims that when the defendant
came to New Baltimore in the summer
of 1875 he promised to marry her. Four
years afterward he married anothei
young lady, named Sarah J. Policy, and
hence tho suit. The jury brought iu a
verdict for $15,000 in favor of tho young
lady which made her heart very glad.

stant family use of Dr. Worthington’s
Diarrhoea and Cholera Medicine, I have
found it of unfailing efficacy. While it
is of priceless value in Diarrhoea, Dvseu-
teiy and Cholera Infantum, it is scarcely
