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. [New Albany Ledger-Standard.] 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 Works, Boston, Mass.: I have used St. Jacobs Oil among our employes and find that it never fails to cure. The men are delighted with the wonderful effects of the Oil, as it has cured them of bruises, burns, etc. 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 the power that is in him ; it is by ardent, irresistible need of expressing what he feels that he is a man of erenins. 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. Maine News.

The idea of the cutting of the Isthmus of Panama does not date from yesterday. In 1528 a Portuguese navigator, Antonia Galvao, proposed to Charles Y. to make an interoceanic communication. In 1780 Nelson proposed a canal through Nicar agua. Yon Humboldt took up the 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 Ins name to the enterprise. After his escape from Ham Louis Napoleon did appeal to the public for funds in a pam phlet, “Le Canal de Nicaragua,” but the protect fell through.

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.

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.* ” Milk, in Its varied forms of consump tion enters more universally into the food of man than any other substance.

A PRINCELY GIFT ! ; | A GORGEOUS PREMIUM f r ! SCIENCE TRIUMPHANT \fom g& K®' ( J| | DETECTION |p | 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!
