Wnen an individual is suddenly request ed to immortalize himself on the pages oi an autograpn aioum, witnout a moment's warning, unless he wears a Web-sterian brain, he is at a loss where to begin the immortalizing process. He's stuck. Yea, we have been there, and take great pleasure in dashing off a few rules and specifications on the mode of procedure when that trying hour comes on line anoia tasnionea rauiaing coun ty ague sDaxe. it usually depends on circumstances. Sere is a little gem from poesy's vale that has stood the test of years, and still smiles -at us from a thousand album pages.

Just write these ex pressive words in every album: "Mr love for yon shall never fall. tine our old eat has a tali." Here is deep thought. The declaration reaches far out beyond the shadows of the future into the whenceness of the never, and vows that only until the an cient family feline becomes devoid of her caudal appendages, will the affections of theautographer wane or wither. Here is another epitaph very appropri ate for the album: "When yon get old and cannot see. Read these lines, and think of me." This never fails to produce a thrill.

We have read this in many albums and it enraptured us so we could almost hear the frog breathe in the streamlet near our native home. And again, if into your hands is thrust an album, belonging to a maiaen irom wnose cneeic tne Dioom of youth has long since faded, inscribe this: "The rose is red, the violet blue; xne puns are pretty, anu so are yon." This may be a poetic li cense, yet it may lighten the gloom, and not be any worse for you. There is another standard se- lection about virtue spreading like molasses, and several others, which can be used when the thinker is out of repair. If vou are artistically inclined, you may decorate tbe album pages with art sam- ies. we would suggest a representa-on of a gray mule kicking a book agent through a stone wall, with this inscrip- tion in tne north-west corner oi we page: 'Affection's Offering." Or you mignt draw the picture of a peach-blow potato patch, or the Babylonish ruins of a wood shed.

When asked to write in an album. be careful to read all the epitaphs several times, and declare vou have n't writ ten a line for four years, and can't write, This makes the album owner feel good. Follow these suggestions and your fu ture will do one eternal pienic. WiBDEKEE. IS IT TOO BADf I Is it too bad that the amendment was counted out by its opponents in Michi- gan, in its last election? Many an honest worker for temperance in other States, as well as in It is too bad that the amendment failed." Even some of the political cranks have been in tears over the But I know one of these fellows who thinks otherwise.

He says there is but little use of a prohibitory law being put into the constitution or on the statute book of any State when there is no political party in power to enforce such a law, that is in full sympathy with such a law. For when the tarv in tower in any State (especially the leaders of such parties) are opposed to a prohibitory law, it would be a dead letter, for the want of a party to make laws for the enforcement of such a law. Therefore, in Michigan there is but one party whose leaders are in full sympathy with the amendment, and that party is (just now) in the minority, and this crank feels very sure that the best thing for the cause of Prohibition has been done. The terrible struggle in Michigan between the temperance men on one side and the rum power on the other side. will result as an eve opener to thousands of earnest workers for the amendment, to the fact that there was but one party in this great struggle which was a true mend to the amendment, and that tbe leaders of all other parties were in sympathy with tbe enemies of the amendment.

This crank has learned that all the sneers and jeers at the women work ers for the amendment in Michigan that none or these indignities came from this one party, who centered all power and influence in favor of the amendment. When the women of Michigan consider that the leaders of but one party were with them in their earnest work for the amendment, and although that party is young and frail, hereafter they will nurse and care for it. All kinds of cor dials (Mrs. Winslow's soothing svtud. if necessary) will be administered to this promising child, that it may grow, and strengthen with its growth to the end, that he who loves and cherishes this friend of the earnest woman workers for Prohibition will no more be dubbed a Crank.

Mrs Marplif is SOME PAJLTIOULAES OP THE rBOWimsrcr. Last Monday. Mrs. Henly, of this Last Monday, Mrs. Henly, of this 1 wrmakeftefollowinffex-lace, received the letter which will be toliowing ex Miller, Angeies, found below, and throws some light on the particulars of the sad accident.

The writer. Mr. Briges. was Mr. Culler's partner in the publication of "California Youthful Ambitions," suspended some two or three months ago, not proving Drofitable.

The editor of The News has letters from Mr. Culler in which he says be was not successful in san a rancisco when he first went there, and lost con siderable in a real estate office in which he purchased a half interest, and later engaging in the publication of "Youthful Ambitions" he lost still more, as the paper could not be made to pay. Mr. Culler took between three and four hun dred dollars with him to California, and from letters from him we believe he did not have much money at the time of his death. There is no doubt of the sad fact that the boys are drowned.

They were both working in tbe same office at the time, and were maaing money. Mr. Henly has written a former acquain tance, John Reaser, at San Francisco.to investigate the matter of his drowning. and see it the body is recovered. San Francisco.

Apr. 12. '87. Mrs. Kebecca Henly, Hicksville.Ohio, Dear Madam: On Sunday.the 10th Inst.

Mr. J. H. Culler, in company with W. F.

Furnev. of Hicksville. with two otb er young men old acquaintances went out sailing on the Bay. Not returning at tbe usual time, 1 became alarmed and started out in search. TbisI found fruitless, and on Monday the news came to me that the boat in which they left had been found, bottom up, on the opposite shore of the Bay.

Iset out to be sure that this was the boat, and found it too true. It is now in this city. The boat had capsized with its living freight, and the bodies are still in the bottom of the Bav. or carried out into the ocean The accident occurred in the channel of the Golden Gate, as near as can be learn ed, and the bodies of all four will rise in nine days, as is the expectation from the experience before in drowning. I tried to persuade the bovs to abandon the pleasure trip, as the wind was blowing very hard and the sea ran high; so much so that old sailors would not venture out.

Iam deeply grieved, as Mr. Culler was my partner in the little news- Faper. and ne and were warm menus, extend vou mv deepest sympathy in this your sad loss. I will give his body decent burial as soon as it is recovered, and if vou can send me some money to buy a lot and comn or embalm tne body tor shipment to yon. it will require $izo to buy a lot and cotbn and bury the body.

John had his money in bis pock et at tbe time of the accident, but how much I do not know. Please notify Mr.W.F.Furnev'8 relatives of his death and ass them to send me tbe money to oury mm. tie worKeo witn jonn. ours xruiy, w. a.

Henlv received, last Mon day, a San Francisco paper, dated April IQtlS in vnrr-iisth fa fnnnrl in onKafo tiaa au uivu wuuut aaj duuowiuvci tbe following particulars The paper states that a man who was crossing the Bay with a boat loaded with stone nrst saw tuis boat up-side down with three persons clinging to it. He saw that he was unable to render assistance, but put himself in such a position that the boat would float down to him.

A huge wave then buried the boat from sight, and when ha saw it again there was but one clinging to it. Again he attempted to render assistance.and again a wave bid tbe boat from vie w.and when it came up the last one had let go of the boat and gone down. The waves were so high that no assistance could be ren dered them. Besides Mr. Culler and Mr.

Furnev. there were two other voung men in the boat, one or tnemtrom uanaaa, who was a printer, was the owner -of the boat. The other, who was in California for his health, came from San Jose. New Zealand, where his father is a rich silver mine owner. This voung man boarded where Mr.

Culler did. When thev drew their pay. Saturday evening, they said they were going sailing on Sunday. When they went to sail Mr. juner joKmgiy remarked to Mr.

Briggs that if thev did not return they should look for them at the morgue, lit tle dreaming or wnat was to ionow. The statistician of the department of agriculture thinks that "while the in debtedness of Ohio farmers is no doubt very general, evidence from the county records snow tne amount or farm indebtedness is less than it was ten years ago, and would be still less if taxation were more nearly equalized in the State.

Whether our Sabbath shall be a delight or a loathing, nether the taverns, on that holy day, shall be crowded with drunkards, or the sanctuary of God with humble worshipers. Whether riot and profanity shall till our poverty our dwellings, and convicts our jails, and violence our land; or whether industry and temperance and righteousness shall be the stability of our times. Dr. Lyman Beecber, in 1813. An article that enters largely into family use, and is perhaps more largely adulterated than any other has thus tar received little attention.

Vinegar comes into almost aslargeconsumptionasdoes sugar, and when sold and bought it is almost invariably as pure cider vinegar, yet it is doubtful if one-tenth part of this article that is sold contains more than a small portion of apple juice. In fact it is almost impossible to procure an absolutely pure article of cider vinegar, unless it be 'made at home. The market is filled with adulterations and imitations, none ef which are equal in healthfulness to that made from the juice of apples, while mauy are absolutely injurious when taken into tne human system. In many cases deleterious acids are employed in making vinegar, one of the worst and most frequently employed being sulphuric acid. POLES OOBNEBS.

dated at ixa cii. "We are growing potatoes and garden "sass" on our new place six miles west of Los Angeles City, near the foothills.

The present month, April, is the most notable in the calendar. Into no other month are there crowded so many anniversaries of important events in American history. In this month oc curred the birth of Thomas Jefferson the capture of Richmond, the death of" President Harrison, the first election for President, the surrender of Lee, the Modoc massacre, the bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumpter, the birth of Henry Clay, the assassination of President Lincoln, the issuing of the first call for troops in the war of the Rebellion, the abolishment of slavery in the District of Columbia, the death of Benjamin Franklin, the battle of Lexington, the opening of the Revolutionary War, the suiTender of Gen.

It is a cleansing of the outside of the cup and platter, while within it may be all uncleanliness. A committee should be appointed, composed of energetic and capable persons, who shall examine the entire village or town district, to see where the laws of health are infringed, and then to institute the nroDer correctives and safe guards, remembering that what endan gers tbe health and lite ot one household, threatens, to some extent, the health and life of the whole community."
