When gold was first discovered in, Captain Satter’s mill-race, in California, Edward Everett asserted at a dinner iven in Boston by the United States , perl Rg, Society that corn was a gold more valuable than those taken from the diggings. Drop a grain of California gold, said he, into the ground, and there it will lie unchanged tothe end of time. Drop a grain of golden corn into the ground in the spring time, and in a few daysit is a living thing, which produces one if not two ears, each of which is studded with hundreds of grains of gold, every one possessing the same wonderful proper- ties as the parent stalk. A grain pro- ducesover two thousand grains the first year, and if each one of these is in turn planted, we have upwards of six thousand ears the second. Mr, Everett admitted that miserly old fogies might say thatif one crop only of gold can be gathered from the same spot, it lasts till the end of time, while golden corn is produced only to be consumed, and when consumed, is gone forever. This, said Mr. Everett, | is & most egregious error both ways. It is true that California gold will last forever unchanged,if its owner chooses, but while it so jasts it is of no use, no, not as much as its value in pig iron, which makes the best of ballast, where- as goid, while it is gold, is good for little or nothing. You can neither eat it, nor drink it, norsmokeit. You can neither wear it,nor burn it for fuel, nor build a house with it; it is really useless till you exchange it for consumable, perishable goods ; and the more plenti- ful it is, the less its exchangeable value, Then he eloquently described Indian corn. To-day a senseless plant; to- morrow human bone and muscle, veia and artery, sinew and serve, beating puise, heaving lungs, toiling, ab, some- times overtoiling brain.

Rats are wonderfully clean animalr, | , and they dislike tar more, perhaps, than | anvthing else. for it it once gveis on their jackets they find it most difficult to move. Now, | hal heard it mentioned that pouring tar down the entrance of their holes was another good remedy, j also placing broken pieces ot glass by ‘their holes was another remedy. But | these remedies are not effective. The | rats may leave their old holes and make fresh ones in another part of the house; they don't, however, leave the premises for thought I wou'd try another experiment—one | had not heard of befcre. One evening | set a large wire-cage rat-trap, attaching inside a most seductive piece of strong- ly smelling cheese and the next morniog | found, to my satisfaction, that I had 'succeeded in trapping a very iarge rat, one of the largest that [ had ever seen, (which after 1 hai besmeared him with tar, I let loose into his favorite run. |The next night I tried again, and | ceeded in estehing another equally fellew, and served him in the imenner. TI could net follow these two tar-besmeared rats into their numerous runs to see what would happen; but it |is reasonable to assume that they either summoned together all the members of their community, and by their crest- tallen appearance gave their comrades silent indications of the which had so suddenly betallen them,or that they frightened their brethern away for they one and all forsook the The experiment was eminently successful. From that day in 1875 till now, 1883, my house ancient thought itis, has been entirely free from rats: and [ believe that there is ne remedy equalto this one, if you cancatch your rat alive. They never come back to the house again. —Cham- bers Journal. good, I suc- big same misfortune — Last week’s number of The Current, published in Chicago, contains the con- cluding article by Mr. J.

A large proportion of the diseases which cause human sultering result from derange- ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver, AYER’sS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon these organs, and are especially designed to cure the diseases caused by their derange- nent, including Constipation, Indiges- tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery, and a host of other ailments, for all of which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac- tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in which they are held by the medical profes- sion. These PILLS are compounded of vegetable substances only, and are absolutely free from ealomel or any other injurious ingredient, A Sufferer from Headache writes: * AYER’S PILLS are invaluable to me, and are my constant companion. I have been a severe sufferer from Headache, and your PILLS aro the only thing I could took to for relief. One dose will quickly move my bowels and free my head from pain, They are the most effective and the easiest physic I have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to speak in their praise, and I always do so when occasion offers. W. L. PaGE, of W. L.
