AGHICt I7t (JIiXT Gratt for Ilor*c>». Many persons think that horses that re kept in the stable all summer should not be allowid to cat gra-s. Tbiyt itk t will make the horse soft, wshy-washy, and tha: it will throw him out of condi tion for hard work. This is particular ly the c*»e with some of the trainers of trotting and running hortes And horses that are kept up for farm and other work are refused grass he- I cause their diivers thiuk they will not eat bay so well. This was formerly the case more than it is now. But these are all erroneous opinions and practices, and sre giving way, gradually to a more reasonable and Da* ural system of feed— Bg- Grass is the natural food cf the horse It is cooling and healthful food. It keeps the bowels opin and sharpens the appetite. It promotes digestion, and removes fever from the system Therefore, by all rneaus, let the horse nip the grass filtecn or twenty minutes daily. Whether riaiumg for trotting or running, it will be attended with the highest benefit The horse wiil’.oose none of his speed by such a course of treatment. Horses that are kept up the whole year round for farm work should certainly be allowed a nice nib ble at grass every day. They work hard, and all they get for it is some thing to eat. Let them have, then, what they all like so well.— Rural World. A Fallen Stab. —Some ten years ago, a young lady, the daughter of a distinguished merchant of Cincinnati, became enamored of a young man then clerking in her father’s store. The pa rents opposed the marriage, and the Bcafoely formed engagement was bro ken off. Soon afterward she disappeared from her home, an 1 a year subsequently was discovered leading an abandoned life at St. Louis. Young, beautiful and educated, she was nevertheless thor ougbly depraved. Her parents made every endeavor to res'ore her to her home, but ia vain. Fascinated with al lurements of her vioious career, she could not be weaned from it. Two days ago this woman, ODce so flittered and caressed by society, so Sited to adorn its circles, was brought to the oentral sta tion in this city in a wheelbarrow, pick ed up in the steet in a state of u:ter drunkenness. She still preserves the traces of the remarkable beauty that once won the hearts ot all who saw her. But the day of her prosperity is over, and she is rapidly descending the path that leads to a pouper’s grave.— And few now would recognize in ibe features of Sally Dean the belle and the beauty of the Western metropolis. __JV. 0. Picayune, blh. Fleeing from Civilization. An Oregon pap r say* : A few days since an emigrant train was seen m king all sail nor hward through our valley, and the wild look ing driver seemed 10 he laboring uu der great excitement, cracking his ‘black snake’ round the legs < f bis spavined old horses, and yelling at every extra jump they made ‘Hello?’ said we. ‘Hooray !’ said he, ‘wbar’s Roosben Amerisy r We explained that the object of Ms inquiries lay about twelve hundred miles nortnward, and just about as hard to reach as ‘Jurdon,’ besides bo' ing almost uninhabited, except by In dians and grizzlies. He gave a yell that would have made Apache ashum ed of himself, and said : ‘l’m on it 'lbat's the p’ace I’m hunting.

New Kind of Indian Warfare. —A baud of ludiuns made a sudden atta k on a detachment of our soldiers in the mountain. The soldiers had a moun tain hawitzer mounted on a mule. Not having time to take it off and get it in position, they backed up the mule and let drive at the Indians. The savages, not understanding that kind of warfare, fbd like oeers. Afterward one of them was captured, and when asked why they ran so, replied ; “Me big Injun; nit J afraid of little guns or big guns, tut when a white mar load up and fire a whole jackass at Injun, me don’t know wLat to and Home time ago a coffin was received at Newmarket, a station on the railroad about twenty-five miles above D irn’s Mine, in Edgefield district, South Caro lina, marked to a noted Radical. The suspion of the station-master being ex cited by its wt ight, it was opened, an l found to contain new Enfield rifl s.— These were taken r ut, and a few'days after the coffi i was deliver id to the per son to whom it was direct and, who had the prudence to keep silent in regard to the loss of the contents. Self esteem is the roof of esteem from others. If you dou’t have a lair opin ion of yourself, then nobody will of you. Self-esteem may become morbid an l run into vanity; but this is simple vanity, ad the latter is folly.

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA. Almost Every Case Cured With I* AI TV KILLER. Read the following leiterfrom R v. R. Tel ford, Missionary to Chi a, uow visiting hie home iu Pennsylvania : Washington, Pi , June 25, 1866 Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, Providence, R I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence of some ten years as a missionary iu Siam and China, I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy lor that feaiful scouige the cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most iff dual to give a teasj oouful of Pain Killer iu a gill of hot water sweet ened with sugar; hen after about, (it teen minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of (he same mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex tremities. Rathe the stomach with P,in Kil ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. O those who had the cholera and took the medicine faithfully in the way s'ated above, eight out ot teu recovered. Truly yours, R. Telford. In an attack with Piarrlcea, Dysentery, cr Cramp Cholic, don’t delay the use o( the Pain Killer. Sold by all medicina dealers. Price 25 cents, 50 cents and $1 per bottle. Pwatow, China, Sept. 22, Ififia. Messrs. Perrv Davis k Son : Dear Shs—l ought, to have acknowledge-] long ago tbe box of Paiu Killer you had the goodness to send us last year. Its coming was most prov ideulial. I believe hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap peared here soon after we received it. We resorted at once to the “Pair Killer,” using as directed for cholera. A list was kept of all to whom the “Pain Killer” was given, and our native assistants assures us that eight out of every ten tj whom it was presttibed re covered. It has, too, been very useful in va rious other diseases. It has proved an incal culable blessing to multitudes of poor people throughout all this region. Dur native preach ers are never willing to go out on their ex - cur-dons without a supply of the “Pain Kill* er.” It gives them favor in the eyes ol the people, and access to families and localities by whom o'berwise they would be indiffer ently received. Believe me. dear sir, grate fully and faithfully yours, etc. J- M. Johnson, Missionary in China aprSo’Sßlv ATTENTION.
