"Make money, Diukts" my friend ad- vised, And his advice thus emphasised:— "You then will have at your command The choicest pleasures of the land ; In fine apparel can appear Throughout the whole revolving year; Your table groan beneath the weight Of dishes rare and delicate ; Your larder filled to overflow, And in your closet many a row Of china, bought at prices high, To please the taste and charm the eye ; Your liveried coachman to your door, Subservient, bring your coach and four: Obsequious servants on you wait To do whate'er you indicate. All public nneellngs will declare That 'Mr Dinks must take the chair;' To parties you will be invited, Your smallest utterance recited, And all you chance to say, in soottt, Pronounced to be the gospel truth; Though you, with voice and face sedate, Dissemble and prevaricate ; Th' elite will with your vices bear, Churches expect you at each fair, And honored seat for you prepare. You'll be invited everywhere,' To haute ton;balls and social clubs, Where poorer men will meet with snubs, Though better far than you, or they Who Fashion's low behests obey, The rich,the middle class thepoor, . Will throng your pathway and implore, With hesitating, shy advance, To cast on them your haughty glance, And humbly their obeisance make, Not for you, but your money's sake. Give heed to what L tell you now— ' Make money, Dinks—no matter how." And it is true, that, o'er the earth, Base Mammon tritfmphs over \Vorth, That mea thus meekly bow to Wealth, Though gained by roguery and stealth, And even churches antepone The rich, and all their faults condone, And pamper, praise and flatter them, While the poor sinner they condemn. Nay; 'tis a fable, I beliei'e, 'Rehearsed to me but to deceive. NEVER HEAIRD OF DAV Y CROCKETT'S COON. That's queer! Well it was like this : Col. Crockett was noted for his skill as a marksman. One day ho levelled his _gun..ata.xn,000nin a tree, when the ani- mal, knowing the Colonels powers,:cried Tied out, "Hello, there! Are you Davy Croc- kett? If you are, L'll just come down. for I know I'm a gone coon." Just take a close of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purga- tive Pellets, and see how quickly your billiousness and indigestion will emulate the example of "Davy Crockett's coon," and "climb down." They are specifics for all derangements of the liver, stom- ach and_ bowels. FARM NOTES. (Tops in India are endangered by the \\-ant of' rain.

Had this eminent physician lived in our day, and known the merits of Ayer's Pills as an aperient, he would certainly have recommended them, as so many of his distinguished successors are doing. The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of Norwich, Conn,, recommends Ayer's Pills as the best of all remedies for "Intermittent Fevers," Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport, Conn., says: "flyer's Pills are highly and universally spoken of by the people about here. I make daily use of them in my practice." Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass., says: "Having prescribed many thou- sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I can unhesitatingly pronounce them the best cathartic in use." The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr. A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have made a careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They contain the active principles .of. well- known drugs, isolated front inert mat- ter, which plan is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It insures activity, certainty, and uni- formity of effect. Ayer's Pills contain no metallic or mineral s}tbstance, but the virtues of vegetable remedies in skillful combination."

COWBOYS OF THE PLAINS, Theodore Roosevelt's Pen Picture of a Class That Will Soon Pass Away. Singly, or in twos or threes, they gallop their wiry little horses down the street, their lithe, supple figures erect or swaying slightly as they sit loosely in the saddle, while their stirrups are so long that their knees are hardly bent, the bridles not taut enough to keep the chains from clanking. They are smaller and less muscular than the wielders of ax and pick; but they are as hardy and self reliant as any men who ever breathed— with bronzed, set faces, and keen eyes that look all the world straight in the face with- out flinching as they flash out from under the broad brimmed hats. Peril and hardship and years of long toil, broken by weeks of brutal dissipation, draw haggard lines across their eager faces, but never dim their reck- less eyes nor break their bearing of defiant self-confidence. They do not walk well, partly because they so rarely do any work out of the saddle, partly because their chaperajos, or leather overalls, hamper them when on the ground; but their appearance is striking for all that, and picturesque, too, with their jingling spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts, and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the open collars of the flannel shirts. When drunk on the vit.- Imams ii.lainous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad antics, riding their horses into the saloons, firing their pistols right and left, from boisterous lightheartedness rather than from any viciousness, and indulging too often in deadly shooting affrays, brought on either by the accidental contact of the moment or on account of some long»,sfanding grudge, or perhaps because of bad blood between two ranches or localities; ahties; but except while on such sprees they are quiet, rather self cou- tained men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own ground treat a stranger with the e most whole soured ho§ italt tY, doing all in their power for him and scorning to take any reward in return. Although prompt to resebt an injury, they are not at all apt to be rude to outsiders, treating them with what can almost be called a grave courtesy. They are much better fel- lows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers, nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be mentioned in the same breath.—Theodore Roosevelt in Tho Century. Washington's Habits. He was very simple in his domestic habits, rising often in midwinter at 5 o'clock. He kindled his own fire, and read or wrote by candle light until 7 o'clock, when he break- fasted very frugally. His ordinary break- fast was two small cups of tea and three or four cakes of Indian meal, called hoecakes. After breakfast he mounted one of his superb horses, and in simple attire, but which set off to great advantage his majestic frame, vis- ited all those parts of the extended estate where any work was in progress. Every- thing was subjected to a careful supervision. At times he dismounted and even lent a help- ing hand in futheranco of the operations wtticb were going on. He dined at :3 o'clock and retired at about 9 in the evening.. He was kind in word and deed to his negro slaves, and while careful that they should not be overtasked, was equally careful that they should not loiter their time away in idle- ness. The servants were proud of their stately, dignified, wealthy master, and looked up to hint with a reverence amounting almost to religious homage. Washington :,was very fond of the chase. Often when riding to a distant part of the estate he would take some of the bounds with frim in the hope of start- ing up a fox. The habits and tastes of the old English nobility in•evailed in Virginia to an extraordinary degree. The passion for following the bound` was thoroughly trans- planted from the broad estates of the Eng- lish landholders to the vast realms which na- ture bad reared and embellished on the banks of the Potomac and amid the ridges of the Alleghenies. An Aim:lent Canal Uncovered. II. J. Stevenson, surveyor for the Palm Valley Water company, reports making a singular discovery while surveying the canal line running south and easterly from the old Agua Caliente springs. He had run one line on al grade of four feet to the mile from the present terminus of the stone canal to the new town site, but in crossing the de- pression near the mountain it would become necessary to build a quarter of a mile of flam- ing. In order to obviate this expense he was instructed to make a new survey on a grade of eight feet to the mile, so as to strike the town site at a lower level and cross the de- pression without a flume. On this last sur- vey, after crossing the -depression in good shape, he struck an old canal that must have been used centuries ago, for large trees had grown up in the very bottom of the canal, and the indications were that when' used it carried a very largo volume of water. The most singular thing abotit'the canal was that the surveyors found it just where they wanted tc) construct the new canal, and in following it up for a distance of about a mile it was found to have a regular grade of about eight feet to the mile.—Riverside (Cal.) Press. A Picture of the Immigrant. In his lecture on "Immigration" Dr. Bemis gavea picture rl m f the immigrant at the ins low P g level to which he has now mostly fallen. On board a steamer of the Allan line at her wharf Baltimore a f in Ba inners a large number of these people were gathered to their feed. This s as pork and potatoes cooked together in a kettle with copious liquid accompaniment. Gath- ered in groups on the deck about each kettle, the only knife in possession of each group was used b as the first man, who (rut off Ya slice of pork and t passed the knife to his neighbor. Making a cup of the meat by the , er ofpalm lP 1 aid his .n and little finger, the next ;step was to secure a potato and place it on the thumb end of his hand. Then with the poured soup ladle lie m e l the . u over the potato and 1 1 P let it trickle down to the meat. By reversing his hand and' eating from each end of it al- ternately he was able to eat meat, potato and soup all in ono process.

PROGRESS WHICH HAS BEEN MADE IN ASTRONOMICAL SCIENCE. The Great Change Which [las Taken Place Since 1800—Tire Wonders of Our Own System --Problems Iu9nite in Num- ber and Extent. Looking back to the year 1800 we are as- tonished at the change. The comparatively simple scie..ce of the heavenly bodies known to our predecessors, almost perfect as far as it went, incurious of what lay behind its grasp, has developed into a body of manifold powers and parts, each with its separate mode and means of growth, full of strong vi- tality, but animated by a restless and un- satisfied spirit, haunted by the sense of prob., gems unsolved, and tormented by conscious impotence to sound the immensities it per- petually Confronts. Knowledge might then be said to be bounded by the solar system; but even the solar system presented itself under an aspect strangely different from that it now wears. It consisted of the sun,' seven. planets and twice as many satellites, all circling har- moniously in obedience to a universal law, by the compensating action of which the in- definite stability of their mutual relations was secured. The occasional incursion of a comet, or the periodical preser of a single such wanderer chained by planetary or solar attraction to prevent escape to outer space, availed nothing to impair the symmetry of the majestic spectacle. Now, not alone have the ascertained limits of the system m beau widened w Y 1,000,000,000 of miles, with the addition of one more giant planet and six satellites to the ancient classes of its members, but a complexity has been given to its constitution baffling description tion or thought. Tty hundred and seventy cir- culating planetary bodies bridge the -gap be- tween Jupiter and Mars, the complete inves- tigation of the mpvements of any one of which would overtask the energies of a life- time. Meteorites, strangers apparently to the fundamental ordering of the solar house- hold, swarm, nevertheless, by millions in every cranny of its space, returning at regu- lar intervals like the comets, so singularly associated with them, or sweeping across it with hyperbolic velocity. brought re -haps from some distant star. And each of these cosmical grains of dust has a theory far more complex than that of Jupiter; it bears'within it the secret of its origin and fulfills a func- tion in the universe. TAE SUN AND PLANETS. • Tho sun itself is no longer a semi -fabulous, fire girt globe, but the vast scene of the play of forces as yet Imperfectly known to us, offering a boundless fold for the most ardu- ous and inspiring researches. Among the planets, the widest variety in physical habi- tudes is seen to prevail, and each is recog- nized as a world apart, inviting inquiries which, to be effective, must necessarily be special and detailed. Even our "own moon threatens to break loose from the trammels 'of calculation, and commit "errors'which sap the very foundations of the lunar theory and suggest the formidable necessity for its revision. Nay, the steadfast earth has for- feited the implicit confidence placed in it as a timekeeper, and p , t questions ,relating to the stability of the earth's axis and the constaucy of the earth's rate of rotation are ancone those which it behooves the future to answer. Everywhere there is. multiformity and change, stimulating a curiosity which the rapid development of Methods of research offers tho possibility of at least partially gratifying. Outside the solar. system' 111e problems de whi h c demand a practicalt1solution o u are all but' infinite in number . and extent. And these have all risen and crowded upon our thoughts within less than 100 years. 'For sidereal science became a recognized branch of astronomy only through' Ilerschel's dis- covery • of the revolutions utnon of double stars in 1802. Vet already it may be, and has been called "the astronomy of the future," so rap- idly has the development of a keen and uni- versal interest attended and stimulated the growth of pourer to investigate this sublime subject. What has been demo is little—is scarcely a beginning; yet it is much in com- parison with 'the total blank of a century past. And nor _ knowledge will, we are easily persuaded, appeat' in turn the merest ignorance to those who comic after us. Yet it is not to be despised, since by it we reach up gropint* fin'•ers to touch the em of the garment O 1' . • 1 _ ,—, r area a •'en- ger. • Practical Value of Science. An illustration of the practical usefulness of bacteriology was furnished recently. An Italian, steainer arrived loaded with immi- grants. There had been no cholera on board, but, as the vessel reached port, a suspicious case of diarrhoea occurred in a child. The symptoms were not perfectly typical of cholera. Some of the dejection were taken, and sterilized tubes were inoculated and taken to the Carnegie laboratory. It would take' four days to develop the cultures, and the question arose whether the steamer should be delayed for that period of time. It was finally decided to do so. The cultures devel- oped in the way characteristic of Asiatic cholera, and the diagnosis was made. Subse- quently other cases of cholera appeared, and the culture diagnosis was abundantly con- firmed. But no more striking example of the utility of scientific studies could be fur- nishedth" han 1 to.—Medical ., one referred to. Medical Itecord.

The Charge of the Future. Writing in 1878 on the conclusions to be drawn from his study of the Russian cam- paign against Turkey, Capt. Greene, United States engineers, said: "Four hundred men, garrisoning a little redoubt of 100 yards on a side, and firing both from the parapet and the ditch, can now in twelve minutes easily deliver 24,000 shots, a veritable frail of lead, each pellet of of which, if it strikes a vital part, is fatal, up to a distance of a mile- and a quarter; and if but one in twenty of these bullets finds its billet, the defenders will have destroyed 1,200 men during the time that the assailants are passing over this mile and a quarter, i. e., three tittles their own number." In 1803 the possible destruction was less than a twelfth of that. in T. But it must be allowed that the possible destruc- tion in 1888 will have doubled that 011887, and the defense will have correspondingly doubled its power.
