I wish to tell how I cured my cancer without pain or money. Eight years ago a cancer came on my nose and it grew slow for several years, but for the last two years it grew very fast, becoming frightful and began to eat out my left eye. 1 hail paid hundreds of dollars and tried doctors from far and near without finding relief. Finally 1 began to driuk wild tea, putting the tea grounds on my cancer every night as a poul tice. In six weeks my cancer was cured. I am 02 years old. I gave this remedy to several that had cancer and I know of two that have been cured. I believe wild tea grows over the country, generally on high binds. Chaklks Yoxdley, Pittsburgh, Pa. " The "wild tea" is a small plant with a leaf about the size of the common table tea and when dried has the same taste. It can be fouud in the neighborhood of Charlotte. 1 1 1 m Be Happy Now. How old are you ? Twenty-five ? Thir ty ? Are you happy to-day ? Were you happy yesterday ? Are you generally hap py '; If so, you have reason to judge that you will be happy by and by. Are you so engaged that you have no time to be hap py y and are you going to be happy when you are old, and have not much to do? JS'o, )rou will not. You now have a speci men of what yon will be when old age conies. Look the present in the face. That is the average. What you are carrying along with you is what you will have by and by. If you are so conducting yoursclt that you have peace with God ami your fel low men, ami with your faculties, if every day duty shall be a pleasure, and you take as much time as is needful for the culture of your social faculties, you will not be ex hausting life, and it will be continually re plenished. But if you are saving up all till old age, habit will stand like a tyrant and say, "You did not enjoy yourself before, and you shall not now." How many men there are who have ground and ground to make a fortune, that they might enjoy it in the future, but who, when lifty or sixty years old, have used up all the enjoyable nerve that there was in them. During their early life they carried toil and econo my and frugality to the excess of stinginess, and when the time came they expected joy, there was no joy for them. 1 1 J F.x NY Lixd. Once when Jenny Lind attended service at the Bethel, Father Tay lor who did not know that she was present, was requested as he entered the house to preach on amusements. Ihe church was crowded, and the pulpit and stairs were filled. He opposed dancing, card-playing, theatre-going, but approved of music. The preacher paid a glowing tribute to the pow er of song, and to the goodness, modesty and charity, of one of the sweetest of all singers, now lighted on these shores. Jenny Lind was leaning forward, and clapping her hands with delight, when a tall person rose on the pulpit stairs, and enquired whether any one who died at one of Miss Lind's concerts would go heaven ? Disgust and contempt swept across Father Taylor's face, as he glared at the interloper. "A christian will go to heaven wherever he dies; and a fool will be a fool wherever he is even if he is on the steps of the pulpit." As Occurrence. A minister said that he once preached a very peculiar sermon soothing, stirring and satisfying. It was so soothing that half the congregation went to sleep; so strong that the remainder left before he had finished.; and so satisfying that none of them came to hear him preach again.

The New York World gives the follow figures, which are worth a study: "Under the Administration of Andrew Johnson, the cost of the judiciary branch of the Federal Government in 1S67-S was $723,378 57. 'Under Grant it was in 1S70, $2,610,342.54, and in 1871 it was $3,320, 918.98. Here is an increase of 1870 under Grant over 18G8 under Johnson of $1,880, 963.96. How will the supporters of Grant explain away this important item ? The iucrease still" goes on, for in 1871 the cost of the judiciary under Grant was $710,576. 45 more than it was under Grant in 1870, and it cost $2,597,540.41 more under Grant in 1871 than it A'ul under Johnson in 1803. What has been done with all the money ?" . We cannot tell what has been done with all this money, but, after the use of more than a quarter of a million in North Caro lina "for the Courts," which everybody un derstands to be a figure of speech, it is not difficult to conjecture. The greater part of it went for election purposes, one dollar to buy votes and two dollars commissions to some ferocious patriot on the purchase. 1 1 mm The Husband. Ladies sometimes do not value their husbands as they ought. They not unfrequently learn the value of a good husband for the first time by the loss of him. Yet the husband is the very roof-tree of the edifice the keystone called home. He is the bread winner of the family its defence and its glory the beginning and ending of the golden chain of life which surround its controller, law-giver, and its king. Yet we say how frail is the life of the husband and father ! ' When he is taken away, who shall fill his place? When he is sick what gloomy clouds hover over the house! When he is dead, what darkness, weeping, agony ! Then poverty, like the murderous assassin, breaks in the window starvation, like a famishin?ivolf. howls at the door.

GqAraight on, and dj5 ijriNotn ieV IfiQfy get in your v!ry, walk round tnem, regardless of their spife. A celebrated character, who was surrounded by enemies, used to remark, "They are sparks which, if yon do not blow, will go out themselves.'" "Live down prejudice," was the Iron Duke's motto. Let t his be your feeling while en deavoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter against you. If you stop to dispute, you do but as they desire, and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fel low talk there will be a reaction if you do but perform your duty and hundreds who were once alienated from you will flock to vou, and acknowledge their t rior. Something's Got to be Done. By a squall in the Deleware Bay last week, while sailing 111 a yacht, two young men were overtaken. From tho way things looked the capsizing of their shallop was very near inevitable. "Bill," said one to the other, "this is a serious business; can you pray V" "No, I can't ; I've heard Joe Quinn do it, and I've listened to Bill Post, but I cant do it myself." "Well, you can sing a hymn, can't you? "No, I can't sing here. How can I t-ing when this boat at any moment is likely to drown us both ?" "Well we must do something religious. If you can't pray, and can't sing, let's take up a collection." To this Bill consented. In his compan ion's hat he deposited thirteen pennies, a corkscrew and a broken-bladed knife. As he did this the wind lulled and the shallop made a successful landing. . 1 1 A Puzzle. Here is a puzzle in a strange language.

He had been laboring a year on one of his circuits, and before leaving for his new field, he gave his people, who dearly loved him, his farewell sermon. At its close he said : "My dear brethren, this is my last address to ou. I am going from you and you may never hear the voice of James Moore again." "Amen" came loudly from tho scat be fore him. He looked at the man with a little sur prise, but thinking it was a mistake, he went on. "My days on earth will soon be numbered.

The revival of the subject, however, hashad the effect of bunging, out a letter from an old sub-editor, vw ho writes to the Birming ham Gazette that the whole affair was the result of a scheme concocted by an impecu nious penny-a-liner, in order to supply mate rial for an exciting newspaper article. The human remains contained in the sack were procured by the reporter from a directing room, and tne sack was let down from Water loo bridge by a confederate, who was dis guised as a woman.
