Oh, there's nothing half o sweet in life
At love's voting dream!''
I riD last night In pensive mood
Aibelt nut often sentiiucutal

Was racked with aches both head and dental.
I any, as once I've said before.
My mood w somewhat rad and pensive,
I ctst upon the Past a glance
f ond, lingering and comprehensive.
I mw onre more that mossy bank,
JSy which the river ripple slowly,
OVrsbailnwed by the silvery veil
Of willow branches drooping lowlv.
Bestrewn wilh wild spring flowerets" dyed
In every color of the prism:
Where olt we sat. May llrown and I
Nor ever dreamed of rheumatism.
Wr loved. Ah, yes! Some might bare loved
Ik-fore ns, in their hnnnlrum fashion;
But never yet the world had known
So wild, so deep, so pnre a passion !
We recked not of the heartless crowd.
Nor heeded crnel parents' frowning;
lint lived in one long, blisrful dream.
And spouted Tennyson and Browning.
And when the crael fates decreed
That for a season I must leave her.
It wrnng my very heart to sec
How much our parting seemed to prieve her.
One happy moment, too, her head
Heposed, so lightly, on my shoulder!
In dreams I live that scene again.
And In niy anna again enfold her.
She gave me one long auburn curl,
She wore my picture in a locket.
Her letters with blue riblxtn tied
I carried in my left coat pocket.
(Those notes, rose-scented aud pink lined.
Displayed more sentiment than knowledge.)
I wrote about four times a week

1'nt oh, at length "a change came o'er
The spirit of my dream !'' One morning
I got a chilly line from Mir.

I sent her all her letters bark.

And swore I hailed with joy the hour

AN INTEKESTISU SU3IMEIC KXl'E
IilEACE. BY RICIIAKD II. KIMBALL.
I was seated with my friend U the
other night on the back piazza of his
house in Thirty-fourth street, enjoying
with zest the cool of the, evening, and
on the whole making it a topic of con
gratulat ion that we were hack Again in
town. We were not unmindful, however,
of the enjoyment of oar summer wan
derings, and we exchanged notrs freely
on our various adventures and experi
ences. In the course of our conversa
tion I remarked upon several agreeable
acquaintances which I had made, adding
that the most intimate friendships of my
life were those I had happened to form
while on my travels. li - was silent
for a moment. "On reflection," he said
presently, "I think it has been the same
with me. In fact this very summer I
made the acquaintance of a most fasci
nating person; 1 shall probably never see
her again and I urn half inclined to tell
you about it." I pressed jny friend for
me narrative anu lie began:
"It mhs a delightfully cool afternoon
about the middle of August that 1 had
occasion to run into New York for
twenty-four hours. I had been ransack
ing the glorious forests of Maine, and
coming from Portland to Boston I had
reached the latter place just in time for
the late Stonington train. Entering a
car I sat down where I could have, as I
hoped, the whole seat to myself, leaving
two seats vacant immediately behind me.
I was scarcely located w hen an appetiz
ing rustling of silks announced that these
last were occupied. I managed the ex
cuse for turning my head andTdiscovered
that a very distingue-looking lady, prob
ably thirty years old, had .taken jwsscs
sion, in company with a -fine lad, not
more than twelve, I should say, evidently
her son. The mourning suit for the boy
and the exquisitely fitting black bomba
zine traveling dress, trimmed with crape,
for the beautiful mother, permitted but
one explanation, to-wit: She was a widow.
More than that, she was a vounc widow.
Further, she was really very handsome.
Further still, she was indubitably charm
f ing. I felt very sorry she should have
j found the entire seat unoccupied, by
i which I was prevented offering her one
by my side.
"'1 he train was under way. Happily
for me, the interesting stranger, though
she did not (Heaven forbid) speak in a
loud voice, enunciated in exceedingly
rich and clear tones, by which I was en
abled (without any painstaking that
: would partake of listening or eaves
: dropping) to hear every word she said;
and I must rnnfesa alio. tn.lkiil nlmnut in.
ccssantly a trifling drawback to my
S delicate appreciation of her. She ap-
peared to have a grievous trouble which
sat bcavy at her heart, to-wit: AVhat
i would become of dear AVillie (her boy)
: on reaching the boat? I gathered from
1 her conversation that while she had been
f able to secure in Boston a state-room for
j herself, the very last one reserved on the
lnrnks, it was impossible to obtain an-
; other; and what wM Willie do Uu-
! consciously I found myself in complete
t sympathy witli the fascinating but un
f happy mother, and anxiously Waited
; furthcrdevelopments. Somcthingspeedi
. ly occurred to quicken the interest I
already cherished. The dust was be
- coming disagreeable, and when she at
' tempted to close the window she met,
evidently, with an impediment. It was
now my opportunity. I rose with an
' air, ami begged permission to undertake
the matter. Standing in my own place,
; I had of course to bend -over a good
. deal, with both arms outstretched. The
: widow occupied the inside seat, and I
was thus brought very close to her. As
: soon as I satisfied myself that the win-
dow was under control I affected a great
I to do alnmt it. It seemed to stick very
i tight, but I was determined. At last 1
requested ' Willie' to step out a moment,
: and I would make short work of it.
This brought me in immediate contact
j with my charmer. But I dared not pro-
crastinatc. Down came the window
r with a slam, and I made a show of haste
: in regaining my seat and allowing the
; youngster to regain his. Thereupon I
was overpowered with thanks, which
were bestowed all the more graciously
. from the extraordinary efforts I had
made and the prodigious strength I had
- exhibited. We were now on good terms.
f Conversation became easy and uncon
; strained. My new acquaintance resided
in Brooklyn here she heaved a sigh
she once resided in New York, but cir
t cumstances had changed. For the sake
' j of her dear boy, her only child, she was
willing to economize ; she did economize.
JNo one but a mother could understand a
mother's heart a mother's feelings; by
which I was left to the wretchedness of
inferring that she thought it was quite
impossible for me, with "my masculinity,
to know anything about those feelings.
; "in tnc midst of these explanations,
which to my delight began to assume
almost a confidential tone, the train
I reached its destination, and the passen
gers hurried on board the steamer. I as-
sisted the young widow out, took pos
t session of her traveling-bag, gave her my
1 arm, and, with Willie at her side, we
? proceeded to the upper deck. I procured
the key to her state-room and offered my
j services to see what I could do for the
j boy, who began to be very much in the
I way. It was quite as his mamma had
said ; there was not another room to be
had, so I put Willie down for a comfort-
!able berth, and reported accordingly,
once more receiving a profusion of thanks
i in return. We went in to supper to
4 gether, and my heart glowed with hap
; piness when I discovered that the beau
; tif ul widow had no mock delicacy on the
I subject of my paying the bill. Shortly
. after, she went with her boy to inspect
the place where he was to pass the night.
They were gone some time, and when
they did return I discovered an extraor
dinary change. The lad had evidently
been "weeping; in fact, he still held a
handsome white cambric handkerchief
to his eyes. His mother's face was
suffused; she, too, occasionally used her
handkerchief. Positively, she was the
image of grief and despair. I at once
asked the cause of these unhappy dem
onstrations. w 4 Oh ?' she exclaimed, cculd you out
see the horrible spot where they were
going to put Willie such a wretched,
dirty, dismal place! It just broke the
poor boy's heart. No, my dear, you shall
not go there. Here is a sofa right by
mamma's state-room. You shall lie on it.'
"The fact is, I had secured my state
room when I purchased my ticket, before
leaving Boston. If there is any one
thing I am specially averse to it is the
sharing a room with another person. Up
to now, notwithstanding my sympathy
in her distress, I had resolutely kept
silent through all the talking on the train
about poor Willie and how he was to
sleep, liut with the grieved look and
unhappy expression of this lovely creat
ure before me, how could I longer re
frain? 4 Conic,' I said, 4 1 can put an end
to this ditliculty. The young gentleman
can share my room. Don't say a word,
lie can do so as well as not.' The
widow's smiles were radiant through her
tears; Willie himself looked up from his
white cambric handkerchief and said,
4 Thank you, sir.' I took him off directly
and put him in the room, and hurried
back to receive fresh thanks from his
mamma.
44 It was a lovely moonlight night, and
I escorted her to a seat on the promenade-deck
and took one beside her. My
heart beat nervously when I found I had
her all to myself. If I ever was happy
ia my life, it was on that eventful even
ing. I was not at all surprised to find
the lady exceedingly well-informed and
very agreeable in conversation. The ab
sence of her little boy (as she called him)
made her more reserved (which I was
pleased to notice). She did not run on
with the same volubility, but rather
waited for me to start topics of conver
sation, which lent an additional charm, if
that were possible, to her presence. We
talked about everything; upon every sub
ject she seemed equally at home. What
delighted me most was that she did not
volunteer her opinions or sentiments, but
permitted me to draw them out, exhibit
ing, as I thought, more and more of mod
esty and reserve as we became better ac
quainted. I discovered, in the course of
conversation, that she had traveled, and,
as I myself am an old voyageur, we found
an agreeable subject in talking of places
and incidents with which both were fa
miliar. She had been up the Nile; so
had I. She had been through the Suez
Canal; so had I. She had visited the
Holy Land, even as I myself had done.
Indeed, on comparing dates, we discov
ered that we were there the same identi
cal season and the same month. I ex
claimed: 4 Who knows but we encount
ered each other going up the Mount of
Olives!'
44 4 1 am certain we did not,' she re
plied. 44 4 But why?' I asked.
44 4 1 am sure I should have recollected
you!' she exclaimed, impulsively. Then,
instantly checking herself, she added, 4 1
have an extraordinary faculty for re
membering faces, which at times is al
most annoying.'
44 Was I mistaken? Did the moonlight
deceive me? I think not. Even now I
feci confident that I detected blushes
over hex face, and an almost impercep
tible confusion of manner as she hastened
to make this explanation. The subject
was changed to home topics; to matters
of society, fashion; to a discussion of
city life and country life. In all the con
versation not one word was uttered by
this charming young woman about her
irreparable loss, her lonely condition or
her altered circumstances. She did not
indulge in that touching small-talk
which some widows so profusely employ
to interest and engross an admirer. Had
it not been for her volubility in making
explanations of her reasons for residing
in Brooklyn I could not have brought
myself to believe that she was a widow
at all. Her previous manner, I confess,
when I thought of it, did grate a little on
my feelings, but my personal vanity
aid I don't deny I have my share in
vented a solution. This lovely young
widow had been ahem! taken with me
at first sight and she determined honor
ably, very honorably, to explain her own
situation at the outset brutalement as the
French say. Hence her haste to make
the revelation. In fine, I could now per
ceive plainly that her almost loquacious
manner w as due entirely to her feeling
ill tit ease in my presence, and it was not
till we began to be better acquainted
that she appeared her true self. Happy
in this explanation, the moments sped
fast. As one by one quilted the deck
with the advance of the evening, I ob
served my companion glance timidly
around, and when the only remaining
lady (besides herself) left she also arose
in a quiet, dignified way, and said it was
later than she imagined. 1 could oiler
no possible reason for detaining her. I
conducted her to the dor of her state
room and ventured to offer my hand as I
wished her good-night. She took it with
naturalness. It thrilled me to the heart.
4 1 shall sec you in the morning,' she said
sweetly, 4 when you bring Willie back to
me.' 44 Confound the boy!" I muttered
to myself as I hurried away. 4 1 had for
gotten sill about him.'
"The little fellow was sleeping soundly
when I entered my state-room. He had
taken the lower berth, which struck me
as an impertinent proceeding, till I relict-ted
that the boy might have thought
the upper one was the most desirable.
As I looked on his innocent face as it lay
upturned I saw traces of resemblance to
the mother, and my heart softened
toward him. Besides, I was in an
ecstatic state, and flt friendly to the
whole human race. I lay awake more
than an hour. I will not undertake to
describe my emotions or the tumultuous
thoughts which filled my breast. 4 My
time has corn,' I said to myself. 4 After
all these years without a heart-interest,
here I am, gone bej'ond reclaim! I will
endure no suspense; to-morrow shall de
cide my fate!' Solaced by this resolu
tion, I fell asleep.
44 "When I awoke the boat had already
reached the dock in New York and was
lying motionless. It was early, however,
aud I resolved to keep quiet for half an
hour and enjoy my thoughts, which were
sweetened by visions of the last even
ing's experiences. 1 was in the heightof
my enjoyment when my stateroom com
panion, whose presence I had again quite
lost sight of, emerged from his berth,
and proceeded to dress himself. Al
though, as I have intimated, I could not
help regarding the boy in the light of a
nuisance, still, so long as he was with
me, I felt there was a link" between her
and mvself. The lad made his toilet
carefully, which proved him to have
been well nurtured, and it was not till
he was ready to leave the room that he
looked toward ray berth. Then he turned,
and perceiving I was awake, he said,
4 Good-morning, sir! I hope I have
not disturbed you. 4 What makes
you turn out so early?' I asked. 4 1 have
been awake so long, I got tired,' he said.
4 1 thought I would go on deck. We
shall see you, I suppose, by and by, sir?'
he added, modestly, as he went out and
closed the door gently behind him. I
eould take no rest after that. I tried but
I could not. For, had not the only cer
tain security that I should see my
charming friend again vanished through
the cabin-door? Suppose she had also
been wakeful, had also risen early, and
was becoming impatient to leave? Would
she wait for me? After all, why would
she wait if she was quite ready to de
part? Was it not evidence of my indif
ference that I was not up betimes, to
bring Willie back to her, as she had so
prettily expressed it? People were
already dressing and leaving the boat. I
could hear them. I sprang impatiently
from my berth and put my hand under
my pillow for my watch, that I might
know the exact time. My watch was not
under my pillow. I thought possibly it
had slipped into the bed. No. Then I
looked to see if it had not fallen through
to the floor. It had not. Oh! I had left
it in my pocket. I inspected my vest. I
found no watch, but I discovered that a
few dollars that were there were gone.
Nervously I sought my coat, where 1 car
ried a pocket-book, which on this occa
sion contained, besides papers of im
portance, about $300 in money and a
pair of solitaire diamond ear-rings which
I was bringing to my sister, and which
had cost me $300 more. There was no
roc'tet-book on the premises.
"I no v became thoroughly roused. No
wonder, you wi 1 say. I examined the
blinds, which I had carefully secured the
night before. They were precisely as I
left them. I recollected distinctly bolt
ing as well as locking the door. In fact,
I always do it. Suddenly the horrible
thought seized me was I am I could
it be possible? 1 made up my mind with
the sagacity of an old traveler (sagacious
after the event), that it was entirely pos
sible; in short, that there was no doubt
about it. I dressed rapidly, pushed into
the saloon, and proceeded to state-room
43. One of the stewards was already
turning it upside-down. 4 Where is the
lady who occupied this room?' I asked
of the stewardess who stood by. 4 The
lady, sir, left the boat as soon as it got
in, more than an hour ago?' 4 And the
boy?' 4 1 don't know any thing about any
boy, sir !' 4 1 dare say not,' was my re
ply. 44 1 went back, took my valise, bor
rowed five cents of the first gentleman I
encountered (for the little scamp did not
leave me a penny), and rode up to my
hotel. That is all!"
- 44 But really, now, do j'ou feel quite
sure it was the boy who robbed you?"
44 Do -1 feel quite sure? Bah!" Les

Before the railroad days our 03'stcr
growers used early in thc'fall to canvass
the villages on the Hudson River for
orders, to be filled just before the river
should be closed with ice. The meaning
of this is that these men committed
themselves to supply oysters in the shell,
with the guarantee that the bivalves thus
supplied should not die before their time
came. The oysters were actually kept
alive during the greater part of the long
winter. The fat bivalves were handled
with some care, and were spread on the
cellar floor, the round or lower side
down so as not to allow the liquor to
escape. That such a life required a
great change of capacity or habit in the
bivalve is evident; and it needed a train
ing, yes, an education, ere the oyster at
tained such ability. And this "was the
way it was done : Beginning early in th
fall the cultivator took up the fat
bivalves from their bed where he had
planted them and laid them a little high
er up on the shore, so that for a short
time each day ihey were exposed out of
tnc water. Alter a few days of this ex
posure by the retreating tide they were
moved a little higher still on the shore
line, which gave them a little longer ex
posure to the air at each low tide. And
this process was continued, each move
resulting in a longer exposure. And with
what results? Two very curious ones
inurement to exposure, and the incula
tion of a provident habit of making
preparation for the same. AVhat! provi
dence in an oyster? Yes, when he's ed
ucated. When accustomed to this treat
ment, ere the tide retires the oyster
takes a good full drink and retains the
same until the tide returns. Once,
while waiting for the stage at a country
hostlery, we overheard the following be
tween two rustic practitioners at the bar:
"Come, SwiM, let's take a drink!"
44 Well, I don't know. Ain't dry myself.
Hows'ever, guess I will take a drink for
fear I might pet dry." With better
philosophy on their side, these educated
oysters twice in every twenty-four hours
took their precautionary drink. The
French method of oyster-training is much
more laborious. The adult bivalves ar
carefully spread out in the water and
periodical lessons arc given to each one
individually. Each oyster on this occa
sion receives a tap, not with a ferule, but
with a suiall iron instrument. This
causes the bivalve to close tightly.
Finally the last day comes with its last
premonitory tap. It3 education thus
finished it takes passage with Us fellow
graduates for Paris. As a result of its
education it knows how to keep its
mouth shut when it enters society!

The Farm Preferable to City Lire.
There is no doubt that farmers, as a
class, perform more labor and work
more hours for a given amount of money
than any other persons who, furnishing
ttieir own capital, supplement it with
their labor. The farm laborer must,
also, necessarily work more hours than
those in cities who labor by the day;
but there is no doubt that the farm-hand,
working and receiving his board besides
his wages, if he choose, may lay up more
money than the day-laborers in our cit
ies; and simply for the reason that, if he
choose to be economical, his individual
expenses are but light. If determined
to curtail every unnecessary expense, a
few years will luffice to give him money
enough to start for himself on the fron
tier. It is true the labor of making a
new farm is hard, continuous and exact
ing; so, how ever, must it be with any
young man in any position who has
nothing but his hands to work with,
whatever the industry followed. Con
sidering the social position of those la
boring on farms, their lot is not, as a
rule, w orse than that of those laboring in
cities.
If one is contented with his condition
in life, and while earnestly and honestly
striving to better his position does not
envy thost whom circumstances, gen
erally the result of individual effort,
have placed in a position better than his
own if he weigh carefully the disadvan
tages as well as the advantages of city
life if his tastes remain true and sim
ple, there is no doubt that the country,
with its pure air, innocent pleasures,
simple diet, untainted water and delight
ful scenery, is altogether best for the' av
erage man or w oman.
No person may enjoy himself more
thoroughly, if so inclined, than the
farmer. But he wants means for the ed
ucation of children, and also congenial
society outside the family. Even in a
new country this is not impossible, if in
dividuals locate, as they should, in com
munities. In the daily round of laIor it
should be remembered that our duties are
not simply to ourselves and families. Wc
cannot get along without the assistance
of others. Therefore we must be ready
to render assistance, if possible, when
asked. If we consider ourselves the
victims of circumstances, when wc meet
with discouragements if we yield to
them, become dispirited and simply give
up our energies to bodilj' labor we be
come merely drudges, and little better
fian beasts of burden. It is easier to
break one's way out of trouble than to
yield to it; easier to climb the fence
than, rushing against the barriers, try to
break it down. We must, therefore,
yield in some measure to circumstances,
bearing and forbearing, and taking such
pleasure as wc may, while practicing the
divine precept to de as we should be
done By.
The farmer, although he may attire
himself in rough and, perhaps, to ultra
fashionable eyes, uncouth garments, U
nevertheless the peer of any in the land,
and is so considered and estimated by all
who, like him, are engaged in multiply
ing the wealth of a nation. It is not the
popinjay men nor the butterfly women
who ever are heard of outside their own
immediate circle of puppets and painted
moths. It is not from the ranks of 44 so
ciety" that, in the hour of a nation's
peril, the General, the President, the
44 king of men" arises. From the farm
and the work-shops come forth that
vigor of brains and body before which
the herd of emasculated exquisites is
driven as the chaff is before the wind.

In taking out grease from clothing
with benzole or turpentine, people gen
erally make the mistake of wetting the
cloth with the turpentine and then rub
bing it with a sponge or piece of cloth.
In this way the fat is dissolved, but is
spread over a greater space and is not
removed. The benzole or turpentine
evaporates and the fat covers a greater
surface than before. The only way to
remove a grease spot is to place soft
blotting paper beneath and on top of the
spot, which is to be first thoroughly sat
urated with the benzole and then well
pressed. The fat is then dissolved and
absorbed by the paper and entirely re
moved from the clothing. Western Rural.

USEFUL ASD SUGGESTIVE.
Ant hard steel tool will cut glass with
great facility when kept freely wet with
camphor dissolved in oil of turpentine.
A drill-bow may be used, or even the
hand alone. A hole bored may be read
ily enlarged by a round file. The ragged
edges of glass vessels may also be thus
easily smoothed by a flat file. Flat window-glass
can readily be sawed by a
watch-spring saw by aid of this solution.
In short, the most "brittle glass can be
wrought almost as easily as brass by the
use of cutting tools kept constantly moist
with a camphorized oil of turpentine.
Give Them Cold Water. It is very
doubtful if there is a single possible
disease in which the patient should not
have cold water ad libitum. Oh, how
babies often sutler for cold water! A
nursing baby is given, no matter how
thirsty, nothing but milk. The little
lips arc dry and cracked, and the little
tongue so parched it can scarcely nurse,
and yet it has nothing but milk to as
suage its craving thirst. Try it yourself,
mother, when you have a fever, and we
are sure that ever after, when your dar
ling is dying with thirst, the teaspoon
and tumbler of cold water will be in
constant use. Ilural New Yorker.
How to Make Black Paint. The
most economical and satisfactory black
paint we have ever used for iron work
was by mingling alout two quarts of
coal tar with a pint and a half of benzole,
which was laid on with a paint brush.
This makes an excellent varnish for
rough work; it could not be recom
mended, however, as a fine varnish for
any inside work. Three years ago the
iron fence and iron balustrade and hand
rails on our front steps were covered with
such a varnish, while the iron-work of
adjoining neighbors had been painted
every year with oil and lamp-black and
varnish. At the present time our fence
looks much the best, and scarcely needs
paint;ng, while theirs really needs a coat
of paint. A paint made of coal tar and
benzole will be found excellent for
smearing the iron work of farm imple
ments. As benzole is somewhat volatile,
no more paint should be prepared at one
time than will be used immediately.

It is almost impossible to get a horse
Bhod without having the frog cut away.
All veterinary surgeons, all horsemen,
all leading blacksmiths, agree that the
frog should not be pared one particle,
nor even trimmed. No matter how plia
ble and soft the frog is, cut it away
smooth on all sides, and in two days it
will be dry and hard as a chip. You
might as well cut all the leaves off trees
and expebt them to flourish as to pare
away the frog and have a healthy foot.
The rough, spongy part of the frog is to
the foot what leaves are to the tree the
lungs. Never have a red-hot shoe put
upon the foot to burn it level. If you
can find a blacksmith that is mechanic
enough to level the foot without red-hot
iron, employ him. If you do not think
so, try the red-hot poker on 3'our finger
nail, and sec how it will affect the growth
of that. There arc many other important
points in shoeing horses, but these two
arc of more importance than all the rest,
level to the apprehension of men not
skilled in horses, and yet the two most
disregarded. Young Folks' liural.

KocitEfiTBR, N. T., June 13, 1874.
It. V. Tierce, M. D., Buffulo, N. Y.:
Dmr Sir I had suffered from Catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years, and
for several years from Bronchial trouble.
Tried many doctors and things with no last
ing benefit Iu May? '72, becoming nearly
worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a
paper in New York city, I was attacked with
Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost
a total loss 01 voice. 1 returned borne here,
but had been borne only two weeks when I
was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage
from the Lunirs, having four invert bleed inn
sjiells within two week, and Jlmt three inside of
nine aays. in uie septcmoer loiiowing 1 un
proved sufficiently to be able to be about,
though in a very feeble state. My Bronchial
trouble remained and the Catarrh was ten
fold worse than before. Every elfort for relief

ground daily. I continued in this feeble state,
raising blood almost daily, until about the
first of March, '73, when I becouie so bad as
to be entirely confined to the house. A friend
suggested j-our remedies. But I was ex.
tremely skeptical that they would do me good,
as I had lost all heart in remedies, and begun
to look upon medicine and doctors with dis
gust. However, I obtained one of your circu
lars, and read it carefully, from which I came
to the conclusion that you understood your
business, at least. I finally obtained a quan
tity of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, your
Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and
commenced their vigorous use according to
directions. To my surprise I soon began to
improve. The Discovery and Pellets in a
short time brought out a severe eruption,
which continued' for several weeks. I felt
much better, my appetite improved, and I
gained in strength and flesh. In three months
every vestige ot the Catarrh was gone, the
Bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no
Cough whatever, and I had entirely ceased to
raise blood; ami, contrary to the expectation
of some of my friends, the euro has remained
permanent. I have had no more Hem
orrhages from the Lungs, and am entirely
free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered
so much and so long. The debt of gratitude
I owe for the blessing I have received at
jour hands knows no bounds. I am thor
oughly satisfied, from my experience, that
j our medicines will master the worst forms
of that odious disease, Catarrh, as well as
Throat and Lung Diseases. 1 have recom
mended them to very many and 6hall ever
speuk in their praise. Gratefully yours,
Wit. 11. Sl'ENCER.

Old Hcmbcgs Discarded. Thank
heaven, the old-school practice is pass
ing away. Ipecac, aloes, calomel, blis
tering, the lancet and (worse than all)
medicated rum have given place to a new
remedy which bids fair to become the
universal medicine of mankind. Vinegak
Bitters is that remedy. It is destined
to take precedence of all other curatives
now before the world. The pharmaco
poeia and conspectus of the regular Fac
ulty contain nothing that will compare
with it. Every day hundreds of the sick
are emancipating themselves from sys
tems of treatment which entail great
expense and do no good, and are flying
to this cheap and absolutely certain
means 01 reiiei. uyspepsia, rheumatism,
liver complaint, periodic fevers, sick
headache, kidney diseases, constipation,
nervous affections and, in short, all mala
dies, acute or chronic, which do not
involve the irreparable injury of some
vital organ are cured by this pure inalco
holic vegetable restorative. 5
Do YOU ever think that a neglected cough
or cold may lead to serious consequences? In
the early stages of lung disease take Wishart's
Pine Tree Tar Cordial. It can always be re
lied upon.
Ragged stockings and protruding toes are
not seen on feet where SILVER TIPS are
worn. Parents remember this, they last twice
as long.
To have good health the liver must be kept
in order. Sanford's Liver Invigorator has be
come a staple family medicine. Purely vege
table Cathartic and Tonic for all derange
ments of Liver, Stomach and Bowels; clears
the complexion, cures sick-headache. Shun
imitations. Try Sanford's Luer Invigorator.
The Narragansett Collar Company are
turning out from 75,000 to 100,000 Elm wood
and Warwick Collars a day. This shows their
immense popularity. If you hava not worn
them, we would advise you to do so. New
