Temper and Tongue.
A London merchant had a dispnte
with a Quaker about a bill. The
merchant said he would go to law
about it; the Quaker tried all means
to keep him from doing so. One
morning the Quaker resolved to
make a last attempt, and he called
at the merchant’s home and asked
the servant if his master was at
home. The merchant heard him,
and knowing his voice, called from
the stairs, “Tell the rascal I am not
at home.” The Quaker looking up
ac him, calmly said, “Well, friend,
God grant thee a .better mind.” The
merchant was struck with the meek
ness of the reply, and he looked into
the disputed bill and found that the
Quaker was right and he was wrong.
He called to see him, and after con
fessing his error, he said: “I have
one question to ask you: How were
you able so often to bear my abuse
with patience?” “Friend,” said the
Qiuaker, “I will tell thee. I had once
as bad a temper as thou hast. I
knew that to yield to this temper
was sinful, and I found that it was
unwise. J noticed that men in a
passion spoke loud, and I thought
that if I could control my voice I
should keep my passion. I have,
therefore, made it a rale never to let
my voice rise above a certain key,
and by carefully observing this rule,
I have, by God’s help, mastered my
temper.—Exchange.

Things to Forget.
If you would increase your happi
ness and prolong your life, forget
your neighbor’s faults. Forget the
slander you have heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget the fault-find
ing and give a little thought to the
cause which provoked it. Forget
the peculiarities of your friends and
only remember the good points
which make you fond of them. For
get all personal quarrels or histories
you may have heard by accident,
and which, if repeated, would seem
a thousand times worse than they
are. Blot out as far as possible all
the disagreeables of life; they will
come, but will grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
•thought of the acts of meanness, or,
worse still, malice, will tend to make
you more familiar with them. Ob
literate everything disagreeable from
yesterday; start out with a clean
sheet for to-day, and write upon it
for sweet memory’s sake only those
things which are lovely and lovable.

Between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five, the time when woman
hood begins and motherhood ends,
it is estimated that the aggregate
term of woman’s suffering is ten
years. Ten years out of thirty! One
third of the best part of a woman’s
life sacrificed! Think of the enor
mous loss of time! But time is not
iall that is lost. Those years of suf
fering steal the bloom from the
cheeks, the brightness from the eyes,
the fairness from the form. They
write their record in many a crease
and wrinkle. What a boon, then, to
•women, is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription. It promotes perfect reg
ularity c dries up debilitating drains,
heals ulceration, cures female weak
ness, and establishes the delicate
womanly organs in vigorous and
permanent health. No other medi
cine can do for woman what is done
by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Coutaiu Mercury,
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de
range the whole system when en
tering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, O., contains no mer
cury, and is taken internally, act
ing directlv upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system.
In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be
sure you get the genuine. It is
taken internally, and made in To
ledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.

A girl cannot too sedulously guard
her mother, nor too gently bear with
her, if the mother have reached a pe

than formerly, and where little things
vex her. To some of us there come
days when our hearts are heavy be
cause we were not so sweet and lov
ing as we might have been, and God
alone can help us when this realiza
tion comes too late.—Margaret E.

The American Flour Manufactur
ing Company of Vineland, N. J., has
just been incorporated with a capi-
, talization of $1,000,000, for the mak-
j ing of flour from sweet potatoes,
j The company was organized by
I H. S. Morris, a member of whose
‘ family invented and procured a pat
ent on the process of converting
sweet potatoes into flour, which is
of a bright golden yellow, and has a
sweet taste which is very pleasant.
The Vineland mill is said to be
the first in the country to manufac
ture flour out of sweet potatoes, and
the farmers there are jubilant, as a
ready home market for their big
crops is now assured.

Bui one law is inexorable; the closer
you get to Nature, the truest and
simplest thing there is because it is
closest to God, the clearer always
will you find the water.—April La
