That is what our readers want, and nothing but that. It is the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis appointed. But another good recom mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that relief comes quick and sure, and one feels new all ever. It never fails. Everybody needs take a liver remedy, and everyone should take only Sim mons Liver Regulator. I5e sure you set it. The Red Z is on the wrapper. J. II. Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia. THE HELP OE GOD'S WORD. There is a lamp whoso stead7 light Guides the poor traveler in the night ; lis Gods own word! Its beaming ray Can turn a midnight into day. There is a storehouse of rich fare, Supplied with plent', and to spare : 'Tis God's own word ! It spreads a feast l or every hungering, thirsty guest. There is a Chart whose tracings show The onward course when tempests blow ; lis God s own word ! There, there i found Direction for the homeward bound. There is a tree whose leaves impart Health to the burdened, contrite heart : Tis God's own word ! It cures of sin, And makes the guiltv conscience clean. Give me this lamp to light my road ; This storehouse for my dally food ; Give me this chart for life's rough sea ; These healing leayes, this heavenly tree. Help Yourself. Henderson Hustler. Fight your own battles. Hoe your own row. Ask no favors ol any one. and you will succeed a thousand times better than one who is always beseech ing some one's inllnence and patronage. No one will help you as you help your self, because no one is so heartily inter ested in your affairs. The hrst step will be such a long one, perhaps ; but, carving your way up the mountain, you make each one lead to another, and stand firm while you chop still an other out. Men who have made for tunes are not those who . have had five or six thousand dollars given them to start with, but boys avIio have started fair with a well earned dollar or two. Men who acquire fame have never been thrust into popularity by puffs begged or paid for, or given in public spirit. They have outstretched their own hands and touched the public heart. Men who win love do their own wooing ; and I never knew a man to fail so signally as one who induced his affectionate grandmother to speak a good word for him. Whether you work for fame, for love, for money, or for anything else, work' with your hands and heart, and brain. Say, "I will," and some day you will conquer. Nev er let any man have to say, "I have dragged you up." Too many friends sometimes hurt a man more than none. A Physician's Last Eescrt. Selected. "My doctor is a real -joker," said a Lewiston lady. "I didn't know that my talking bothered him when ho was writing prescriptions until yesterday. He neyer mentioned it, and I always asked him all sorts of questions while he was writing them out. Yesterday he examined me and sat down to write something. 1 kept talk ing. Suddenly he looked up and said : 'Hold out your tongue.' I put out that member and he began to write. He wrote and I held out my tongue, and when he got through he sa'.d : 'That will do.' 'But.' said I, You, haven't looked at it.' 'No said he, 'I didn't care to. I only wanted to keep it still wliile I wrote the prescription.'" Wl 1.

Considering the fact that some phi losophers have contended with great plausibility that electricity is the mo tive power of the universe, it is remark able that men have not made more use of it than they have, or that is has not been substituted for steam and gas long ago. It is, however, now rapidly as suming proportions which promise to make it supplant all of the older meth ods of motive power. The Pennsylva nia Railroad Company will, it is said, shortly operate its line between Wash ington and Alexandria by an electric trolley. The New York Central rail road has under consideration a propo sition for electricity instead of steam on the New York and Putnam railroad, a fifty-mile branch that runs through the Harlem Valley. It is not unlikely that the Baltimore and Ohio will in a short time adopt the same power. The only thing which has retarded the introduction of eleotrlcty in these lar ger affairs of moving railroad trains, a well as in general lighting and heating, is the expensiveness, but that obstacle is gradually passing away as the means of producing electricit lecomes cheap er. There is nothing more certain to the scientific vision than that electrici ty will supplant steam and gas and heat in their various relations to hu man enterprise and comfort, and the world is moving m that direction with accelerated motion.
