KUOtF, Plttston, Feb. It)—Cm REAL ESTATE! In attending to the things of this world, most men appear to bCs methodical in their business transactions, and act as if they knew that if they were successful at all, it must be upon their own individual exertions, else ruin would llash upon them in a moment when they least expected it. He who has a business, no matter how insignificant it may be, it must receive the undivided attention of the individual who stands at the head of it, or else it will suffer from neglect and languish and die. And so it is with all undertakings, whether natural or spiritual. We see it on every hand. Hereisamanwiioisconstantly busy ; lie is attending to his business everything around him seams to be prospering, and he is constantly accumulating in this world's goods, and the world calls him rich,and lomehov or another lie controls an inliuence over his fellow men that a poor man can never do. To be sure, a man may bo poor in this world's goods and rich in intellectual knowledge, and he, too, will wield an Influence over his fellow men that is wonderful. There is a power of wealth and a power of knowledge— to gain which, requires strict attention, constant attention, constant labor for years, and the golden fruit is attained, and a fame that has rendered your name immortal in a certain sense.

Any hypocrite will come to the Sabbath worship, but it is not every hypocrite that will attend prayer-meetings, read the bible in secret or speak privately of the things of Clod to tiie saints. You shall lind the same true in other things. A man who is no Christian will very likely not tell you a lie by saying that black is not white, but he will not hesitate to say that whitey brown is; he will go that length. Now, the Christian will not go half-way to falsehood—nay he scorns to go an inch on that road. He will 110 more cheat you out of twopence farthing than he would out of two thousand pouuds. He will not rob you of an ell. Even a Pharisee will ask Christ to his home to sit at meat with him—he is willing to entertain a great religious leader at his table; but it is not every one who will stoop down and unloose his shoes, for that very Pharisee who made the feast never brought him water to wash his feet, nor gave him the kiss of welcome he proved the sincerity of his hospi-1 tality by forgetting the little things. I will bo bound to say Martha and Mary never forget to unloose his shoelatchets, and that I iazarus never failed to see that his feet were washed. Look then, I pray you, as Christians, to the service of Christ in the obscure things, in the things that are not rccognized by men in the matters which have 110 honor attached to them, for by this shall your love be tried.—Sjpurgcon.

CHAS 8CHRANK. Thomas malonky, Wholesale and Retail Dealer in GROCERIES and provisions, Commission Merchants. July 31-tf H. STEVENS Let us take the case of a house badly infested With rats, says the Jiural New Yorker. How shall we get rid of them? Of course, if they come from some public sewer or other colony, the supply is probably unlimited, and the first thing must be to cut off the access of all outsiders. But if we are troubled by none but natives, It will not require much skill to capture every one of them—old, cunning fellows and alt. In the first place, then, we must resolve to take time to do it and capture the whole lot, and to this end no attempt must be made to capture single animals, since this will tend to make them suspicious and will put the old ones on their guard. Then provide a large box or barrel; place In It a quantity of old carpwt, brush, etc., and also some food, such as rueal, herring, cheese, etc. Bore a two inch hole in the side of the box, and leave it for some days. The rats will soon find it out and frequent it. First a young one will go in and have a good feed and come out all right; the old ones, seeing that he is not hurt, they, too, will go in, and in a short time every rat about the premises will frequent it. When this occurs, see that it is well supplied with food, and arrange over the hole a block having a corresponding aperture cut in it, but having also a series of wires stuck around the hole and pointing inward, juntas they are arranged in a common wire trap. Every rat will go in as before and not one can get out. Various methods may be adopted for killing them. If you are a sportsman you can let them out ono at a time and shoot them or kill them witli terriers. A few slips of sulphured paper thrust into the hole and burned is, however, a very simple plan, and will give a most effectual quietus. We %avo known a case In which sixty-seven rats were caught at one time in a box arranged as described. In this Instance the premises were effectually cleared of the vermin.

And yettiie market quotations of farm products were such as might be considered "low and disagreeable." For example: Wheat in the fifteenth century was twenty cents a bushel, and two loins of mutton and two loins of veal were purchased for half a dollar. A leg of mutton brought five cents, and a sucking pig was a dear morsel at eight cents. Capons were scarce, and would bring ten cents each, and a fat goose the same amount. Ale cost two cents a gallon. A century earlier a tat ox was worth $6, and a cow $2.50 A three-year old fat hog eighty cents, and eggs were valued at one cent a dozen. Laborer's wages were eleven cents a day, which, small as it might seem, placed them in a far more favorale condition than present wages can their successors. On the whole, considering the remarkably few needs that a man then felt, and tne absence of rings and frauds, those times may be considered as deserving the ecomi- Utns lavished upon them in ourdaya— the "melancholy days" of virtue.

A bubbling, hissing noise, however, can be heard in his chest as you approach him. He eats hearty, and is apparently in good health, his physical condition having improved greatly during the last week or two, but that he is subject to sevefe spells of coughing, during which he nearly suffocates, espsciafiy at night.
