Mr. John B. Gough, whose death took place Thursday evening, 18th Feb- . 'teary, in Philadelphia, was born in the little village of Sandgate, which lies be- tween Hythe and Folkestone, on the snorea of the English Channel, in the grand old county of Kent. His father was a veteran of the Peninsular War, aaho wore upon his -breast the clasps of runna, Talavera, Salamanca and ajoz, and who served from 1798 until I823 in the 40th and. 52nd Regiments of the line, His mother waa the village anhool mistress, and to her the love of the boy turned, although his respect and admiration for his stern but upright father was great. Poor as his father was he sent his son to the seminary of a Mr. Davis, of Folkestone, until he was fan years of age, by which time he had inade some progress in the elementary trenches of education. When the lad • Was twelve years of age his father placed ▪ hint in the hands of a family who were on the point of emigrating to the United Wastes, and in 1829 he reached New "fork. The first two years of; his life were passed upon a farm in that State, but in 1831 the lad determined to seek Eis fortune in the city, and left the family in whose charge he had been placed, and who appear to have been unfaithful to their trust. He was fortu- nate enough to secure work in a book tindery, where he learned bookbinding, and in 1833 felt justified in sending for his mother and sister. They joined him, and that winter he was linable to find employment, and he and hissuffered neatly. The following year his mother died and his little home was broken up. e had a'fme voice and this [brought m into associations not the best for ftim. He at last sang in a theatre and &gait to be very unsettled in his habits, drinking a great deal. For the next 4ven years his life was a strange one. e drifted about. the country working an his trade, singing, reciting and even *ting; drinking always. In 1838 he tecame a sailor, making a three months' voyage to the Baie de Chaleur, and on his return he married in Newburyport. Be worked at his trade here for a time, Ent he had now become almost' a con- firmed drunkard, and upon the death of Eis wife and child he sank into a state of hopeless apathy. In 1842, in Wor- cester1 at the close of a long debauch, he Was one day met by a getleman, who ;Inked hint to sign the pledge. This he gromised to do, and on the following 4ght did NO publicly, making Ms first tediperance speech on the occas - van. in his autobiography he has left a:most vivid picture of the torture he experienceci during the six days that followed, buthe was supported by those who saw promise of good. in the young nyin and stood fast by him. He began eaking at once, although, as he him - f says, be had to wear a heavy over- eaten buttoned close up to the chin, in order that the raggedness of his clothing anould escape notice. His talent was anipreciated, and in a short time he be- came known as a temperance lecturer and devoted his life to this work. He std not easily shake off the appetite for 14" nor, and broke his pledge in Boston a ort time after he had first signed it, tit he owned his fault before the tem- perance society of Worcester, and was keiblicly reinstated as a temperance arorker. His fame increased with years, lent during the first year or two of his Work as a lecturer his life was hardly an -lay one. He travelled. 6,340 miles, and bjs remuneration was so scanty that six dollars was the largest 311I11 he. received for a lecture during that time. In 1843 Ie married Miss Mary Whitcomb at lirorceater, although his wealth was amain and he was, indeed, in debt. His , . nacreasmg fame enabled him to widen the sphere of his labors, his remunera- tion increased, and his name began to be widely known in connection with tem- perance. In 1850 he visited Canada for the first time, and spoke in Montreal twelve time in all. The Crystal Palace 4 that time stood on Dorchester street ; it was there his meetings were held, and Many Who attended them must still re - ember the the telling effects with which tie there referred to his soldier father. Re was MUCII interested. in the soldiers and addressed them in the Gosford atreet Chitral', at the personal request of gia James Alexander. In 1852 he was' agaiu in Canada, and he himself relates with much gusto the manner in which • he split his -coat from top to bottom while speaking in Cobourg. For the honor of that town be it said the Cor- poration gave him a aew one. In 1853 he vieited Great Britain upon the invita- tion of the London Tempera.nce League, and delivered his first lecture in Exeter Hall, and so great was his success that for two years he continued his work there. He lectured in every part of the British Isles, and upon his return to America his place was assured. He was the first of American speakers, if not the first of popular lecturers, with a world-wide reputation. In 1857. he again returned to Great Britain, and lectured there until 1860. In 1861 he began to lecture upon other subjects than temper- ance, the first of the course being &a ad- dress upon " Street Life in London." This was followed by "Lights and Shadows of London Life." "The reat Metropolis," and these three combined and condensed into one, called Lon- don," he delivered 127 times. He was as popular as a lecturer as he had been while devoting himself entirely to tem- perance work, and from a monetary int of view etninently successful. Mr. Gough had lived for many years at Boyl- • ston, in the vicinity of Worcester, Mas- sach.usetts- Up to within the last year or two his health had been good, and he had several tines appeared upon the lecturer's platform, although in 1873 he publicly withdrew from active work. He was the author of several works: "The Autobiography," first published in 1846; " Ovation," in 1854; " Tem- perance Lectures," 1879, and "Sunlight • and shadow "in 1880. He left an estate valued at $75,000. Two Scotch Stories. 11, • A respected minister, who is also a Peebleshire laird, told me the following story illustrative of the matter-onefact manner of the people. There was an old invalid man on Tweedside who was attended by a faithful Abigail. Like many frail persons, he was always an- ticipating his own speedy demise. "I'm thinkin', Nancy," he said one day, that it canna be lang noo, I feel ast if this verra nicht the end wad cum." "Indeed, laid," said the attendant , - e Lord's will it wad na be t,• for the C00113 gaen to inn a weel see hoo I am to "if it were t real convenie calve, and I tend on ye baith !" This, however, can be matched, 1 am bound to say, by another story lately told to me, the scene of which lay in the Perthshire Highlands. The minister had gonento see a dying parishioner, and when he reached the cottage he found the family bathed in tears. -11 Is he worse?" he • asked. Oh, sir, he's just deeire," was the reply given in an agony of sorrow. Looking towards the "box bed" where the sufferer lay he was astonished to see two men bending over it. "What are they doing there ?". "Eh, sir, they're just shavin' hint Shavin' him !" said the minister in amazement, "can they not let the poor man die in peace?" " It's far easier noo !" was the strange answer which mingled with the sobbing. —Donald Macleod, D. D., in Good Words. About Feeding Farm Animals. I have been reading considerable lately. You know I do not believe in lounging around the store or the tavern, but I do believe in farmers taking agri- cultural papers and reading them, and then talking with their neighbors about what they have read and trying to -apply as much of the new light they may ob- tain as posdible. I am very much interested in what Professor Cook, of the New Jersey Ex- perimental Farm, is trying to do. He is finding out the influence or effects of different kinds of food on the quality of milk. I no not think that farmers know much about this, or as much as they ought to about the kinds of food•to make the most milk. In athese close times farmers want to know how to turn everything to the best advantage. Any- way, I do, and I do not want to give my cows food which will make poor milk, when I might give this food to some other animals, and give • the cows that which will make the best milk. There really are three kinds of ! tnilk— milk to sell, milk for butter and milk for cheese. It would be a good thing to know just what to give the cows to get each kind, so as to make the milk to suit our special wants. • I wish- I knew just how much a steer or cow did digest when fed meal or mid- dlings, and the same of a hog. We could tell nearer, then, how the account stood. It is a wonder with me all the time whether I am losing motley buying meal and Middlings and feeding it to make beef and •pork.• If the price of , meat was not so low, I 'should not be so anxious, but the margin is so cloie or small, it i hard to tell. I. calculate • that one-th rd of the middlings my hogs • eat goes to the manure -pile, and this is worth for manure all it costs. Now if the other two-thirds, or whatever it is, will make food, I sha that it pa. that it won rowth enough to pay for the be satisfied and consider s well. The old rule was d pay to feed hogs when the price of po k was as many dollars per hundred as corn was shillings per bush- el. This rule • will not hold good now, for pork is ,oniy $5 dressed in my sec- tion, and cdrn is 60 cents a bushel. Mid- dlings are as high as corn meal. I mix the two, plitting in three parts of mid- dlings to one of corn meal, for both cat- tle and hog. I can't remember when meat was lower. It 1 is cheaper now than grain. Last year it was higher. It will not pay to buy animals to feed, but it will iniy to fatten our own, if we do not keep them toe long, rather than winter them over. I do not think meat will be much, if any, higher for some months, so it will not pay to hold. Sometitnes- we find that nature can- not be improved upon, altbough this is a "progressive age. Professor Ladd, at the New York State Experimental Station, in a series of experiments, found that cooking food for cattle re- sulted in anoss of nutritive value over the raw state. The food lost in alba - minions and in fat. In new corn meal the loss Was 1.09 pounds per 100, in clean hay 1.88 lbs., and in old -cornmeal .543, or alittle more than a half per cent. He also concluded that the cook- ed food did not digest as well. For years I have not slopped our cows, and these experiments show that sloppy food is not natural for cattle. Their diges- tive machinery is too much of a mill to grind up slop. I see that some of the folks who used to steam all the food for cattle are giving it up, as they find it does not pay. I have made up my mind that all ani-. mals which chew the cud do not want soft or cooked food, and these experi- ments only make niy notion -the strong- er. We can save ourselves a great deal of trouble by leaving off the cooking and slopping for our cattle. •Mastication is an important part of the digestive pro- cess, and without it there is no com- plete digestion. Chewing the cud is the second stage, and is also very import- ant. Sloppy food cannot be returned to the mouth of the cow, neither can fine meal or meal of any sort, when fed by itself. This is why we always urge that meal should be fed with some coarse • food to insure mastication in the mouth and chewing in the cud, When fed all cooked and sloppy or mushy food, cat- tle will not °he* the cud, and cattle without a cud do not remain healthy a great While. The iniportance of masti- cation any farmer can test by feeding a calf and then letting it suck the same amount of milk. He will find that the calf will do 25 per ceot. better when it sucks, and\ this is *muse the milk is then mingled with the saliva, the first stage of digestion. The same favorable condition is obtained when the food is • chewed to prepare it for swallowing. When gulped down with no action of the jaws and no secretion of saliva it goes into the stomach:lacking this vir- tue.—John Tucker in " The Orchards." • —The First Presbyterian church, St. Marys, is now in a flourishing condition in every department. It has a member- ship of 182 families or 271 persons. • During the year and la half which has elapsed since Rev. Mr. Turnbull's in- • dnction the congregation has been in- creased by 97 members. —There was a very large delivery of harvesting machinery from the firm of Messrs. A. Barris, Son & Co., of Brant - for& at Stratford the other day. The display consisted of 59 light steel binders, 14 mowers, 8 carriers and 10,000 lbs. cord. —The Rev. C. W. Henderson, of St. Marys, preached a special sermon on Sunday evening, 14th inst., to young men. He spoke of the many evils with which young men had to contend in their every -day career, and admonished them strongly against the use of intoxi- cating liquor. • —One day lately a serious accident happened on the farm belonging to Mr. Peter Cook, near Milverton. • Mr. Jacobs was removing a building when his machine broke, hitting him on the skll and seriously injuring his brain. Notwithstanding the severe injury, hopes are entertained of his recovery. —A respectable -looking man entered a grocery store in St. Marys the other day ostensibly to purchase j some sugar. While the merchant was engaged in doing it up, he noticed the stranger ap- propriating some boxes of toilet soap which rested on the connter. The thief was made to disgorge and ordered out of the store. Catarrh—a New Treatment. Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six inonths, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that no five per cent. of .patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures never record a cure at all. 1 Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his mire to their extermination— ehis accomplished, he clainal the Catarrh is prac- tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by him four years ago are cures still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat ment has ever oured Catarrh.. The application of the remedy is simple, and can be done at home, and the present season ef the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure, the majority of cases being cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, West, Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for their treatise on Catarrh.—Montreal Star, November 17. 1882 • 882-52 AS CONSCIeNTIOUS •DRUGGISTS --WE WOULD recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and kindred diseases, the use f MALTOPEPSYN.
