Back to Back.
A rowdy cannot endure the sight of a
well-dressed man. It acts upon him as
a red shawl upon a bull. Some years
ago, as two young gentlemen were goiDg
home from a party in Philadelphia, they
were attacked by a gang of rowdies. The
youths w ere brothers, and noted for their
skill in boxing. Standing back to back,
they knocked down their assailants as
fast as they came at them. In a few
minutes the rowdies fled. Similar tactics
once saved two English anglers from be
ing bitten by a pack of fierce dogs. As
they were passing a farm-house, a large
dog, whose barking and glaring eyes an
nounced his rage, dashed at them.
“Catch up some stones and stand
back to back, or he’ll worry us,” cried
the elder.
Armed with as many stones as they
could pick up, they put themselves in
position and waited the charge. But
the dog did not attack. He evidently
thought the position too formidable for
him to carry by assault. After circling
round the men two or three times, lie
returned to the farm-house.
The anglers, congratulating them
selves on the success of their tactics,
pressed onward. They had just passed
over the brow of a hill when a chorus of
“Yelp, yelp, yelp !” announced another
and more dangerous attack.
“We are hunted,” shouted one to the
other; “more stones, and stand firm, or
we are dead men.”
Filling their pockets and hands with
stones, the two men again stood back to
back, and waited anxiously the attack.
On came, the large dog, with four other
dogs, all open-mouthed and barking
furiously.
They, too, had their tactics. They
began by circling round the anglers, and
gradually drew nearer and nearer.
A well-aimed stone struck the leader
of the pack on the head and rolled him
over. Another stone hit a second dog
on the side and sent him out of the circle
howling with pain.
Then the pack halted, retreated some
distance, and again began to circle round
the men. Sullenly they went round and
round, until, seeing no chance for an as
sault, they went slowly off over the hilL
The anglers went their way, specu
lating as to the method by which the
large dog persuaded his four com
panions to join him in assaulting his
enemies. ________
like the moon m its rising, life comes
out of darkness; it grows; it wanes; it
disappers; but only to the sense. Some
where, always, it still Hoods the night
with its beauty. It forever is; nor more,
nor less. It is as an ocean of being,
flowing in and out forever of the Ama
zons, the Thameses, the Hudsons of our
several lives—their bays, their harbors,
their inlets and their outlets.

Speaking of Governors suggests the
mention of an item we received from
Mr. Henry A. Knight, Foreman at Chas.
Waters & Co.’s Governor and Valve

that it never fails to cure. The men are
delighted with the wonderful effects of
the Oil, as it has cured them of bruises,

A i'aithiul Servant.
A young German from Mecklenburg
was lucky enough to win $60,000 in one
day at Monaco, and at once went to his
liotel and locSefl up tlie amount in a
cash box, intending to leave for home
the next morning without further tempt
ing fortune. On awakening the next
day, however, the box was gone, and
with it his old valet, who on number
less occasions had given proofs of fidel
ity and affection to his master. As it
was, the young man had to telegraph
home for money to rnave the place, and
learned that the servant was in Meck
lenburg with the cash intact, having de
camped with it for fear that liis master
would risk it at the gaming table again,
as he had seen so many other lucky
ones do.
[Elgin (111.) Daily Leader.]
The subjoined opinion, we perceive, is
by J. A. Daniels, Esq., of Messrs. Stogdill
& Daniels, attorneys, La Crosse., Wis.,
and appears in the La Crosse Chronicle :
Same time since, I was attacked with pain
in and below one of my knee joints. A
few applications of St. Jacobs Oil quieted
the pain and relieved the inflammation.
I regard it as a valuable medicine.
Editorial Troubles.
If an editor omits anything, he is lazy
if he speaks of anything as it is, he is
mad ; if he smooths down the rough
places, he is bribed; if he calls things
by their proper names, lie is unfit for
the position of editor; if lie does not
furnish his readers with jokes, he is
stupid ; if he does, lie is a rattle-head,
lacking stability ; if he condemns the
wrong, he is a good fellow, but lacks
discretion ; if he lets wrongs and injuries
go unmentioned, he is a coward ; if he
indulges in personalities, he is a brack
guard ; if lie does not, his paper is in
sipid. In short, if he edits a paper
properly, and sticks to truth and facts,
he is a fool, and doesn’t know how to
edit a paper half as well as his readers
could.
Shrewdness and Ability.
Hop Bitters, so freely advertised iu all the
papers, secular aud religious, are haviug a
large sale, and are supplanting all other
medicines. There is no denying the virtues
of the Hop plant, and the proprietors of these
Bitters have shown great shrewdness and
ability in compounding a Bitters, whose vir
tues are so palpable to every one’s observa
tion.—Examiner and Chronicle.
Fast Horses.
’the standard trotter is one that can
eover a mile in 2:30. It is said that less
than 600 of all the horses raised and
trained in the United States have this
record. The number that can trot in
2:50 bear the ratio of one to 2,383 horses
raised. Asa business the breeding of
fast horses is therefore very much of a
ottery ; and when we recall the fact that
the high prices which famous colts have
brought have rarely been received by
the men who raised them, the prizes in
breeding and training trotters are few
and uncertain.— Scientific American.
The man of genius is not master of

Thai While Tmih
demands immediate attention. Nothing so
quickly regulates the system and keeps it pure
u Warner s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
Kissing and Telling of It.
When the wrong man kisses the light
woman or the right man kisses the wrong
woman—aud both sometimes happen—it
does not always follow that there is a
disturbance about it. The world can
never know liow much unauthorized
kissing has been done and forgiven and
forgotten. In the naturally wild and
audacious career of the human kind there
is a great deal of that sort of business,
and it is just as well that it is not cruelly
dragged lief ore the public on every oc
casion. If that were always done it
would be very discouraging to a reason*
ably delightful pastime which more or
less concerns everybody. Many of the
cares and trials of this world find relief
in a kiss; it is a very little thing, uncom
monly sweet for its size, and one of the
few luxuries of this world which well
organized people never get too much of.
Nobody who understands even the rudi
ments of kissing disdains its practice, and
those who have been so fortunate as to
reach something of the science of the
thing are not easily restrained in their
pursuit of supreme happiness. A kiss
doesn’t cost anything, aud it’s a pretty
small matter to make a disturbance
about, and most people will endure a
great deal of kissing without getting
angry about it and regarding it as a mis
fortune to make public complaint. Now
aud then, however, human nature is put
to an awful test in this way, and human
nature breaks down. A man may not
be so particular about putting his kisses
where they w ill do the most good; the
chief aim of man is to get the kiss, and
he is frequently too hasty and too reck
less about it. But a woman is apt to be
a little more considerate in her prefer
ences.
There was an Illinois woman, now,
who had a prejudice against being kissed
by a tailor—possibly because the other
eight parts of the man were not around
—although the tailor was perfectly free
to say that he had no prejudice against
kissing the lady. He regarded her as
sweet enough to kiss and frankly told
her so. There are some cold, proud
women who in some uuaccoutable way
have got into this world who would not
be affected by any such talk, but the
number of theso is very, very few.
Whether the Illinois woman was one of
this rare kind or not is still a matter of
dispute. It is also undecided whether
she told the tailor he was a handsome
man; she insists that, bei g a truthful
woman, she could not have done so
conscientiously, while he takes the op
posite side of the question. There is,
however, no controversy about the one
point that lie did kiss her, and after all
this is the most important thing. It is
not certain just what was the matter
with this kiss—whether it was not up
to the standard or whether there may not
be something peculiar about a tailor’s
kiss. But it is certain that the lady
didn’t lose much time in telling her hus
band about it, and the husband lost no
time in horse-whipping the tailor for
doing just what he had doubtless himself
done a thousand times. In this way the
matter became the property of the public,
for tlie tailor proceeded against the hus
band for assault. Such a course is as
strange as it is unusual, and if allowed
to go on unrebuked must inevitably cut
a tailor off from many of the good things
of this world.— Phil. Times.

The idea of the cutting of the Isthmus

In 1528 a Portuguese navigator, Antonia
Galvao, proposed to Charles Y. to make
an interoceanic communication. In 1780
Nelson proposed a canal through Nicar

project in 1801. In 1811 Re my de Puydt
took a colony to Honduras to dig a canal
there. Two years later Gavella and
Courtines were sent out by Guizot to
study the question; they pronounced
against the possibility of the enterprise.
In 18-12 the Government of Nicaragua
asked Louis Napoleon Bonaparte to lend

appeal to the public for funds in a pam

Visiting—Hired Girls.
Once on a time I went to spend the
and ter noon with a neighbor friend, and my
isit turned out nothing but apologies,
itli now and then something said be
ween. She said she had put off baking
>n account of some sewing she wanted
to finish, aud thought she would bake iu
die afternoon. She had to chase the
hens and scratch the barn to get some
eggs to bake a cake, as the day before
she had sent all she had to market. And
then all her wood was out-doors in the
rain and snow, and was slow to burn;
consequently the cake got sad before it
was baked. Her knives and forks she
had laid aside iu the morning; they then
had to be scoured, and then as soon as it
got a little dusk she thought of her lamp,
which had to take its share, etc. But,
farmer sisters, here let me say that if
ever I am found in such a fix, I will
make the best of it, and let visitors eat
the same as I do, and try to visit one
half the time any way. I think the bet
ter way is to do all necessary work in the
morning, and let sewing go until after
noon, as nine-tenths of the visiting peo
ple would rather have their chat and par
take of a cup of good, hot coffee, and
plain bread and butter, than to have
nick-nacks.
I always have thought that house
wives needed help just as muclf as the
men, and think so yet. Let amian get
in a hurry and his first thought is, hire a
man to help him out, and it is all right.
And how many are the times that his
worked-down wife is hurried and worried
and no help ever thought of for her; and
if she should speak of hiring a girl at
two dollars, or one and a half a week,
tlie man will say, “This girl business
counts up like Sam Hill. ” All this time
he keeps his man week in and week out,
costing him from five to six dollars a
week, and only works from sun to sun,
while a girl works from sun until ten at
night. —Gemitna Bedot.
Keep Young.
Don’t grow old and rusty and cross,
afraid of nonsense and fun. Tolerate
the follies and crudities of youth. Gray
hair and wrinkles you cannot escape,
but you need not grow old in feeling
unless you choose. And so long as your
age is only on the outside, you will win
in confidence from the young land find
your life all the brighter if* contact
with theirs. But you have fh> many
grave thoughts, too many weignty anxi
elies and duties, too much to do to make
tins trifling possible, you say. The
very reason, my friend, why you should
cultivate fun, nonsense, lightness of
heart—because you need them so much,
because you are “ weary with thinking.”
Then do try to be young, even if you
have to be foolish in so doing. One
cannot be wise all the time.

Grows Either Wet or Dry.
Chief Justice Mansfield, probably with
a view to prolong his own days, was
always anxious, when old witnesses were
in court, to know their customary habits
of life. It so happened that two very
old men by the name of Elm were one
dav the objects of his inquiry.
‘‘You are a very old man, said his
Lordship, to the elder brother. “I sup
pose you have lived a very temperate
life ?”
“ Never drank anything but water, my
Lord,” said Elm.
“Nor you either, I suppose? said
the Judge, addressing himself to the
younger.
“ When I could get nothing else, my
Lord,” was the reply. “I always took
my glass with my friends.”
“Well, then,” replied his Lordship,
“all that we can say is, *an elm will
flourish wet or dry.* ”

j DIftMANTE BRILLIANTS IN WARRANTED SETTINGS!
Diamante Brilliant# must not bo confounded with the French paste and glaa* imitations, mounted in cheap gilt or plated
settings, with which the country is flooded under the various fancy name# given to so-called “ Imitation diamonds.’’ Diamante
Brilliants were exhibited aide by side with real diamonds of great value at the Paris Exhibition and were awarded a Prize Medal,
and the highest recompense awarded to imitations. They attracted universal admiration, and immediately took the place of, and
were intermixed with, costly diamond ornaments, and are now worn at the Court balls and upon all occasions among the best
society in London, Paris, and all the capitals of Europe. Diamante Brilliants can be worn at all times, in daylight or gaslight,
with perfect oonhdence and absolute security, as they possess all the brilliancy and penetrating lustre peculiar to real diamonds,
and are the ounr Planter Substitute fob Diamond# op the piest water. Bv their purity and brilliancy they bear comparison
with old mine diamonds, and resemble them so closely that detection is almost impossible. They are superior in every respect to
real diamonds of inferior quality. The investigations, experiments, and labor of two generations have been expended in bringing
these remarkable jewels to their present state of perfection. They are produced.chemically by a secret process, known only to the
inventors, and they posses# all the rare beauty of the gems they counterfeit.
" Their lustre and brilliancy elicit universal admlratio n.” —Court Journal. “Products of perfect purity.” —Journal Society
Of the Art*. “Certainly far nearer in resemblance to real diamonds than anything we have seen.” — The Mechanic.—“A great
achievement.”— Land and Water “The refractive power Is equal to real diamonds of the purest water.” —World of Science.
——“Ladies who can afford to wear the real gem will henceforth reserve them for Indoors, for since the advent of ‘Diamante
Brilliants’ things are no longer what they seem.”— Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
The reputation of Diamante Brilliant# is permanently established abroad, and we take great pleasure in bringing them pro
minently to the notice of Americans. To do so properly requires some nerve and a liberal outlay of capital. These magnificent
stones are imported especially for us, and are set in SOLID GOLD, made in Philadelphia to our order, by one of tb largest
firm# engaged in the manufacture of pure gold jewelry in this country. All the stones are set by professional diamond-setters, and
as mnch skill bestowed upon them as with the precious stones. For the purpose of simplifying our business we use but three size*
of the New Diamonds. The Bins, warranted solid gold, one-half karat stone. The Earrings, warranted solid
cold, each 1 karat stone. The Stud, warranted solid gold, 2 karat stone. The illustration-! give an accurate out
line of the style and setting, but no illustration or description can give an idea of their rare beauty. Thst must be seen to f*
appreciated. A Rraa, same style and quality of setting, but with an inferior stone, has never been sold for less than $4.00. We
can safely say the same of the Stud; and Earrings, of inferior quality and style, have never been sold for less than $6.00. In
London, to-day, Diamante Brilliants, same size stone and quality of settings, are selling for three to four times the prices named
Shove, and we believe them well worth $S each. So much fob theib value, as we wast this cleablt understood.
“ What! all this trouble and expense about a Premium for your paper?” Yes, Indeed! We can’t select a Premium that will
please everybody in a day, or a year, perhaps, yet we have expended so much time, thought, and labor on theae we are having
the settings made, and the mounting under our own roof almost—we feel emphatically they will make every recipient happy. We
are ambitious to give The Post the largest circle of readers of any weekly on the Continent, and we propose to work for it, spend
money for it. and use every honorable means to attain oar object. Thc Post is not an experiment; ft ia the oldest literary and
family paper in America—now in its sixtieth year— and our Superb Diamond Premium offers deserve more attention than
the many tempting promises of irresponsible parties. The Post is a large, sixteen-page weekly, and aims to interest every member
of the home circle. At $3 a year it it the cheapest paper in exigence to-day. This is NOT a CHEAP JEWELRY Advebtisimkst.
