No Faith in Banks A FARMER WHO KEPT $100,000 IN HIS]

DWELLING—FREQUENT VISITS FROM |

BURGLARS.

Isaac Steele,a farmer living near Petrolia, Pa., made a large fortune | some years ago from petreleum found | oo his property. Heis an old map|

aod lives with bis wife and daughter. Having no faith in banks it has been nis | custom to keep from $80,000 to$ 100,000 stowed away in different places about |

his house. Five or six years ago he } had tho latter sum locked up In a] number of boxes. One day he was exumiving his treasure and found it|

mouldy. He took the bills from their

dry. Thissiogular proceeding became | noised about the neighberheod, and people flocked from all directions to

witness the novel spectacle of a fortune scattered about. For two days the money wasthus exposed, guarded by | the old farmer and his wife, daughtes pnd hired mao. It was then returned to its hiding places in the house.

Three nights atterwards, Steele woke

up and found three masked men in bis room, who seized the old man and bis wife, and bound and gagged them.

While searching for money about the house, they were frightened by the appearance of Steel's hired man, who had beenin Petrolia. The robbers fled, having secured $1,000.

One night io April, 1881, three mask- ed mea broke into Steele's house again. Mrs. Steele was knocked uoconscious and the hi ed man driven into a bedroom at the point of the pistol. Bo hSteele and his daughter were soon overpowered, but not before they bad torn the masks from the faces of two of their assailants, and recognised James James and William Macdonald, two well-known resideats of the neighborhood. The noise of the strugzle aroused a neigh- boring family, and the robbers fled, James and Macdonald were arrested the next day and were sentenced to five years in the State Prison.

Every one then supposed that Steele would put his wealth ina piace of safety after the second warning. Still Steele | stubbornly refused to Lank his money. Only a few days ago an acquaintance of his found the old farmer sitting in his kitchen while the floor, table and chairs were covered with bank bills, which he was drying again. There was $45,000 io the lot. On Saturday the news arrived that masked burglars had once more visited Steele's house on Thursday night, aod after binding and gagging the family succeeded in finding $5,000 before being frightened away. Tieir identity is not knewn. It is said that Steele has at last decided to entrust his wealth to a bank.

The Queer Cathedral of Rimini.

Nowhere over this extraordinary edi- fice, reared protessedly to the glory of God, but in reality reared to the glory of the Malatestas, is there a sign that it is the house of the God of the Chris - tiens. Everywhere it ismarked by the characteristics of that pagan sentiment which seems oddly to have moved its founder. In _ place of the emblems of Christianity there are in all directions the cipher of Sigismondo’s mistress in- tertwined with his own, mythological allegories, repre-enting the perfections and talents of this sume Isotta, and the sarcophagie of certain forgotten pers sonages, which Sigiemondo iutended to be the nucleus of a pantheon in which the most illustrious corpses of Italy wou'ld repose in a cirele around himeelf. St Michael crushing the dragon wears the face of Isotta under his helmet on ene bas-relief; on another Sigismondo himself appears in a triumphal car asa

my divinity; the goddess Diana eads her train over the altar of a

chapel of the Holy Sacrament; while the sigus of the zodiac, the Seven Plan- ets and their divinities, and Force, Pru- dence,Science, Music, Astronomy, and even grammar, are ailegerically repre- sented, Sigismondo having composed a poem in early life in honor of Isotta, in which he invoked all the heathen gods aod goddesses, the planets, the zodiac, the heroes of antiquity,all living things down to the very beasts of the field, to plead his couse and win her to yield to his passion, and Cesiring thus to per- petuate in marble and terra cotta the prevailing sentiment of that poem.— Alfred Ashion, in the Manhattan for May.

Be Firm.

Ao Engiish Admiral, who rose to his high statiou by his own steady exer- tions, used to be iond of relating that, on leaving an humble lodging to join his ship as a midshipman, bis landlady presented him with a Bible and a guinea, saying, **God bless and prosper you, my lad; and, as long a8 you live, never suffer yourself to be laughed out of your money or your prayers.” The young sailor carefuliy followed this edvice through life, and hud reason to rejoice that he did so; while thousands had regretted when too laie, they pursued a different course.

Never let your honest convictions be laughed down! Betrue to yourself,and in the end you will not only be respected by the world, but have the approval of your own conscience. See to it that Whatever you lose, whether it be money, br place, or reputation, you do not lose

SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipe. las, Eczema, Bloteches, Kingworm, Tu. mors, Carbuncles, Boils, and Eruptions of the Skin, are the direct result of ag impure state of the blood.

To cure these diseases the blood must be purified, and restered to a healthy and na. tural fondition. AYER'S SARSAPARILLA has for over forty years been recognized by emi. nent medical authorities as the most pow. erful blood purifier in existence. It frees the system from ail foul humors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes all traces of mercurial treatment, and proves itself a complete master of ail scrofulous diseases,

A Recent Cure of Scrofulous Sores,

“Some months ago I was troubled with scrofulous sores (ulcers) On my legs, The limbs were badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy 1 tried failed, until 1 used AYERS SARSAPARILLA, of which | have how taken three bottles, with the result that the sores are hea) aud my general health greatly improved, I feel very grateful for the g your medicine has done me.

Yours respectfully, MRS ANN O'Brian,”

148 Sullivan St., New York, June 24, 1882,

{ All persons interested are invited to callon Mrs. O’Brian; also upon the Rev. Z. P. Wilds of 78 East 54th Street, New York City, who will take plenause in testifying to the wonderful e of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, not only in the cure of this lady, but in his own case and many others within his knowledge.

The well-known swrifer on the Boston Herald, B. W. BALL, of Rochester, N.H., writes, June 7, 1882

“ Having suffered severe.y foc * “care with Eczema, and having falied to find relief

from other remedies, | have made use, d

the past three months, of AYER’S SARSAPA RILLA, Which has effected a complete cure, I consider it a magnificent remedy for aij blood diseases.”

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla stimulates and regulates the action of the digestive and assimiuative organs, renews and strengthens the vital forces, and speedily eures Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Rheuma- tic Gout, Catarrh, General Debility, and all diseases arising from an impoverished or corrupted condition of the blood, and a weak- ened vitality.

It ‘s incomparably the cheapest blood medi- cine, on account of its concentrated strength, and great power over disease,
