A man. who had struggled with
a malignant disease, approached
that crisis in it stage ou which
his lfe seemed to depend. Sleep,
uninterrupted sleep, might insure
his recovery. His anxious wife,
scarcely daring to breathe, was
sitting bv his bed; her servants,
exhausted by constant watching,
had all left her. It was pa.t mid
night; a door was left open for air;
she heard, iu the stillness of the
night, a window open below stairs,
and soon after nppro.ichins foot
steps. A moment more and a man
with his face disguis entered the
room. She instantly saw her hits
band's danger, and anticipating the
defigu of the unwelcome intruder,
she poiuted to her husband, and
pressing her finger upon her lip?
to implore silence, held out to the
robber her purse and her keys. To
her great surprise, he took neither.
Whether he was terrified or charmed
by the courage of her affection can
not be kuown. He left the room,
and, without robbing a house sanc
tified by tuch strength of affection,
k ? departed.

hand over the nioaey you receive.
I leave to you my dog; take good
care of him, he will serve you
faithfully." The wife promised to
obey, and in due time sst out for
the neighboring market with the
horse and dog. "ilow much do
you waut for your horse?" inquired
the farmer. "I cannot sell the
horse alone, but you may have
both of them at reasonable rates,
(live me ono hundred dollars fcr
the dog and one dollar for the
horse." The farmer laughed, but
:is the terms were low he wiliinaly
iiccepted them. Then the worthy
woman gave thehu3baud s parents
the dollar received for flie horse
and kept the hundred dollars for
herself

An old 'urkev-raiser gives the
following experiment : Four tur
keys were conlied in a pen, and fed
on meal, toiled potatoes and oats.
Four oU;eis, of the same brood,
were also at the Maine time con
fned in 'another pen, and fed daily
ou the bailie articles, but with one
pint of very finely pulverized char
coal mixed with their food mixed
nif-al and h ilel potatoes, fhey
had aluo a plentiful supply of brok
en charcoal in their pen. The .eight
were killed on the sanii day, aud
there was a difference of one and
a half pounds each in favor of the
fowl which had been supplied with
charcoal, they being' much the
fattest and tho meal greatly su
perior in point of tenderness and
flavor.

The most perilous hour of a
jierson's life is when he is tempted
to despond Tha man who loses
his courage loses all; there is no
more
hope of him than thcie
hope
is ol a dead man
a dead man. But it mat
ters not how poor he may be,
how much pushed by circum

friends, how much lost to the
world; if he only keeps hi3 courage,
holds up his head, works on with
his h.tnds, and with unconquerable
will determines to be and to do

well. It is nothing outside of him

A celebrated author says: "If I

Organs.
All other recommendations being equal,
tat ORGAN is the Most Valuable which
.is capable ef producing the greatest nnn
her of
Musical Effcts and Vari
ations. It is claimed by Geo. Woods & Co., and
the claim can be -verified by enquiry and
examination, that the Instruments of their
manufacture produce Qualities of Toks
wmcn are tne oearest approach that has
ever been made to the tones of the pipe or
gan; that, in addition to this, they possess
the most
Beafltiful Qualities or Tone.
which are- peculiar to themselves; and that
the airangements and inventions which
they alone make use, give to them a ca
pacity for producing th t GREATEST VA
RIETY OF ORCHESTRAL and INSTRU
MENTAL EFFECT and a range Of expres
sion which is TRULY WONDEEFUE.
These advantages are dueseverally to the
general plan of the construction ef the In
struments ; the . great .amount of cask,
skill and taste given to the tuning and
voicing of the reeds:and, above all, to the
merits of the
COMBINAT10
fSOLO
STOPS
THE . yEOLINE. A soft
o: breathing stop.
TflK VOX HUMANA.
A baritone solo stop.
THE PIANO. A Piano
o. exquisite tone which
will never require tuning.
The above Stops are In every case sepa
rate, and additional sets ef vibrators and
steel bars, and entirely distinct from the
Tremolo which accompanies them. The
great variety of combination and variation
of which they are capabla impart to the in
strument a WONDERFUL APAITY for the
production of
MUSICAL EFFECTS. .-
n
and they can all be brought AT WLLL
into tha fall organ, adding largely to its
power and Eichkzss of Tone."
