For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Cos¬ tiveness, Palpitation of the Heart, Head¬ ache, Piles, Nervousness, and General Prostration ot the Nervous System, no medicine has ever given such perfect satisfaction as the Vegetine.

She is modest but not bashful, Free and easy, but not bold i Like an apple ripe and mellow, Not too young, and not too old. Half inviting, half repulsive, Now advancing, and now shy— Tuere is mischief in her dimple, There is danger in her eye, She has studied human nature, She is schooled in all her arts— She has taken her diploma As the mistrets of all hearts. She can tell the very moment When to sigh and when to smile; Ch, a maid is sjmeLmes charming* But a widow all the while. Are you sad ? Hew very serious Will her handsome face become! Are you angry ? She is wretched, Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb ! Are you mirthful ? How her laughter Silver sounding will ring out! She can lure and catch and play you, As the angler does the trout.

Ji fashionable church congregation ot Bryan, Ohio, was sued by a sinner for influencing his wife to desert her home. He claimed $2,500 as damages, and get it. A young apprentice to the shoemas king business asked his master what an¬ swer he should give to the oft repeated question, '‘Does your master warrant his shoes “Answer, Thomas,’ said the master, ‘that I warrant them to prove good, and it they don’t I’ll make them good for nothing. 5 ‘Why,’ said a lover to his mistress ‘are you like that hinge ?’ ‘Can’t even guess,’ ‘Because you are something to a door (adote),’ She cut his acquaintance immediately, which, we surmise, consid¬ erably unhinged him. A little boy entered a fish market the other day, and seeing for the first time a pile of lobsters lying on the counter, looked intently at them for some time, when be exclaimed; ‘By gracious j them’s the biggest grasshoppers I’ve ever seen!’ At this season of the year cows eat Wild onions, which give to the milk and butter an unpleasant taste. We have been told by a person who has tried it, that if eight or ten grains of p irched coffee are dropped into a gallon of milk, this taste will be eutirely removed. A Gloomy Outlook.— Seeing that flour is fourteen dollars per barrel iu Liberia, butter one dollar per pound, and hams eight dollars apiece, the Raleigh (N. C.) News fails to perceive how the colored people are to be benefited by re¬ moval to that Republic, to say nothing of the inclemency of the African coast cli¬ mate. To ‘dun’ is a word of consequence, kn¬ it is at once a verb and a noun, and is derived from the Saxon word dunnan , to din or clamor. It owes its immortals ty— bo tradition says—to having been the surname of one Joe Dun, a famous bailiff of Lincoln in the reign of Henry TIL, who was so active and dexterous in collecting bad debts that when any one became ‘slow to pay,’ the neighbors used to say, ‘Dun him,’ that is, send Dun after him. The blunders of absent mindedness are sometimes exceedingly amusing. Most readers will remember the deeply absorbed Professor, who, in passing out of the gateway of his college, ran against a cow. In the confusion of the moment he raised his bat and exclaimed, ‘I beg your pardon, madam.’ Soon afterward he stumbled against a lady in the street, when, in sudden recollection ef his for¬ mer mishap, he called out, ‘Is that you again, you brute V The Methodist Espiscopal pastor of a church at Sandiake, N. Y. surprised his people on Sunday last by making this announcement: ‘The Board cf Trustees have r.ot paid my salary, have taken no notice ot my demands, circulated no sub¬ scription paper, nor made auy other eU tort to fulfill their obligations to me. I am badly involved in debt, and do not propose to continue preaching for notbt. mg. I therefore declare the pulpit va¬ cant until God in his mercy can send you a minister who can live ou air and wear buckskin breeches of his own make.’ ‘He is a man after my own heart, pa, said Julia, reverting to her Charles Au gustus. ‘Nonsense.’ replied old practi¬ cal, ‘he is a man after the money your uncle left you.’ And then all was quiet* IS FRIDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY? Some people will persist in demon stiating F riday as unlucky, notwithstand¬ ing that it is the d-te of some of the most important and most fortunate oc ourrences on record of human transac¬ tions. Let us see. On Friday, August 2l«t, 1492, Columbus sailed on his great •voyage of discovery. On Friday, Octo bei 12th, 1495, he first d scovered land. —On Friday January 14th, 1493, he sailed on his return to Spain, which, if he had not remind in safety, the happy result might never have been known which led to the settlement ot this vast continent. On Friday March 15th, 1495 he arrived at Palos in safety, On Fri¬ day, November 22d, 1493, he arrived at rlispaniola, on his second Voyage to America. On Friday, June 13th, 1494, he, though unknown to himself, discov¬ ered the cohtinent of America. On Fri¬ day, March 5th, 1496, Henry VIII., of England, gave to John Cabot his com mission, which led to the discovery of tforfh America. This is the first Atner ican State paper in England. Ou Fri« day, September 7th, 1505, was founded St, Augustine, Florida, the oldest town in the United Stales by more than forty years. On Friday, November lOlh, 1620, the Mayflower, with the Pilgrims, made the harbor of Provincetown ; and on the same day they signed that august com¬ pact, the foreiunner of the Federal COll 4 - stitution. On Fridey, February 22d, 1732 George Washington, the Father of American freedom was born. On Fri day, June l6(h, 1775 Bunker Hill w-as seized and fortified. On Friday, Octo ber 7th, 1777, the sun under of Saratoga, was made which bad such power and in¬ fluence in inducing France to declare for our cause. On Friday, September 22d, 1780, the treason of Arnold was laid bate, which saved us from destruction. On Friday, October 18th, 1781, the sur render at Yorktown, the crowning glory ot the American aims, occured. On Friday, June 7th, 1776, the motion in Congress was made by John Adams, and seconded by Richard Henry Lee, that the United Colonies were, and of right ought to be free and independent. Thus we s^e that, Friday is not so bad. a day, after all. HoLLy and Dogwood.— A Newbern, N. C„ correspondent says: Quite an industry has developed in the cutting and shipping of what is known in all parts cf the State as ‘holly.’ This timber is in great demand North for piano keys and engravers’ blocks. Almost every steamer carries a freight of the logs of this tim¬ ber. A representative of an English firm is here for the purpose of procuring ‘dogwood’ timber, which is taken away, coriveited into handles for cheap cutlery, bobins, and other like simple uses, and then sold back to us. A shipment of ninety cords of dogwood timber was made this week, from a point just below the city, where the nrtives upon oa ? h would havesworu that there was not as many feet to be lound in all the county around. The price paid those who cut and delivered this wood on the railroad is $6 per cord. Tklegkaphv in Europe.— Last year there was expended tor telegrams in the countries of Europe $15,400,000, at an average cf 32 cents per message. In this expenditure Great Britain led the list with nearly 43 per cent, of the whole ; France came next with about 2 2 per cent., Germany, 18 per cent., no other country exceeded 4 per cent. The length of wires in Great Britain very slightly exceeds that of Germany, and is nearly a fourth more than France; in this particular, Switzerland takes the lead of the smaller European States. A toper in the interior of the State having determined upon a reformation if possible, publishes the following advert tisemem, as singular as it is productive of sad reflection : ‘Itfotice-^Whereas, At particular times 1 may importune my friends and others to let me have liquor, which is hurtful to me and starvation to my devoted wife and children ; this is, therefore, to forbid any person selling me iquor, or letting me have auy on any account or pretense ; for if they do, I will positively prosecute them, not with' standing any promise I may make to the contrary at the time they let me have it.’ Mrs. Jones of Cedar Creek, Inch, knocked a tramp down the other day with a club. Now that tramps are so numer¬ ous and sometimes insolent, every wos man ought to learn how to knock a man down with a club. We would sng gest that they practice daily for a few months on their husbands, TWO DOLLARS Per Annum ATLANTIC WRECKS FOR THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS. We have before us a record showing the number of lives lost in crossing the Allan ic during the last thirty seven years. In this period filty-six fine steam rs have been wrecked, and in twenty nine instances more oi less lives were 'ost. Nine vessels never heard from af ter leaving port-. These are the Presi lent in 1841, the City of Glascow in 18- 54, the Pacific in 1856, the Tempest in 1857, the United Kingdom in 1868, the City of Boston in 1870, the Scanderia in 1872, the Ismailia in 1873, and the Col¬ ombo in 1877. The number of lives which were thus blotted out aggregates 1,307. Of the remaining vessels, four .ve; e burned, five sunk by collision, two by coll,ding vvi h icebergs, two founder¬ ed at sea* and thirty-four were wrecked on various coasts; This is a suggestive sho ving, for it at once calls into Contrast the relative peril incurred by depend euce upon human jundgertient and human handiwork. Of the entire total of steam ers lost, in but two cases can the disas¬ ter be attributable to a breakdown of the machinery ; the Anchor line steamer Hibes ilia, which foundered through hsi propelling shalt having been withdrawn from its place after the propeller had been lost ; and the other the Ismailia, of the same line, which was once spoken under sail, her machinery being disabled, and w r as never heard of afterwards. Nei¬ ther has any boiler explosion occurred on an Atlantic steamer during the period mentioned. So far as the record before us is authority, the inference therefore is that the greatest loss of life is due not to la'-k ot safe vessels, but to failure in judgement or the incompetence of those who handle them.— /Scientific Ameri¬ can, Bound to Earn a Living,- —Exchan ges are publishing a charming sketch of Yale gtaduate who opened— a law office in New York, and then, rather than starve while waiting tor clients, opened business as a boot black under the side* walk at the entrance of a downtown restaurant* His earnings soon ran up to $6 a day, and he had to hire an assiso tant. While he was at work he disguis¬ ed himself so that his best friend could not recognize him ; but out of business hours the bootblack was an elegant gen¬ tleman, living in a stylish boarding house on Twenty-first street. He fell in love with a beautiful being, and had a rival, who finally discovered his vulgar occupation aud informed the venerable papa that the young lady was keeping company with a bootblack. But the de~ nouement is »very touching. “Lily !” yelled the old gentleman, red in the face, “come here. You may take John as soon as you please. He set about earning a living honestly, aud ha3 suc^ ceeded. lie will get on,’’ The boot black has resigned the brush and resunv* ed the practice ot law, and has gathered his Lily to his bosom.—AT. Y. Tribune , The first paper mill in England was built in 1586 by a German at Dart ford, in Kent, Nevertheless, it was nearly a century and a half—namely, in 1713— before Thomas Watkins, a stationer, brought paper-making to anything like perfection. The first approach to a pen was the stylus, a kind of an iron bodkin : but the Romans forbade its use on ac¬ count of its frequent use and even fatal use in quarrels, and then it was made of bone. Subsequently, reads pointed and split, like pens of the present day, were used, The city of Dundee, Scotland, has been ordering a number of wheelbarrows in which to transport to the stationhous^ es the inhabitants who are found drunk in the streets.
