The Yonng Christian’s Desire.
Daniel’s wisdom may I know,
Stephen’s faith and spirit show,
John’s divine commission feel,
Moses’ meekness, Joshua’s zeal.
Run like the unweared Paul,
Win the prize and conquer all.
Mary’s love may I possess,
Lydia’s tender 'heartedness,
Peter’s ardent, lively zeal,
James’ faith by works reveal,
Like young Timothy may I
Every r sinful passion fly.
Job’s submission may I show,
David’s pure devotion know,
Samuel’s call, 0 may I hear,
Lazarus’ happy portion share,
Let Isaiah’s hallowed lire
_A.II my new-born soul inspire.
Mine be Jacob’s wrestling prayer,
Gideon’s valiant steadfast care,
Joseph’s purity impart,
Isaac’s meditative heart,
Abraham’s friendship may I prove
Faithful to the “God of love.’’
Most of all, may I pursue
The bright pat tern Jesus drew,
In my life and conduct show,
How he lived and walked below.
Daily by his grace restored,
Strive to imitate my Lord.
Then shall I these worthies meet
And with them worship at his feet,
With them praise redeeming love,
Strike a golden harp above ;
With them range the blissful shore,
Meet them all to part no more.
Suppose.
How dreary would the meadows be
In the pleasant summer light,
Suppose there wasn’t a bird to sing,
And suppose the grass was white 1
And dreary would the garden be,
With all its flowery trees,
Suppose there were no butterflies,
And suppose there were no bees.
And what would all the beauty be,
And what the song that cheers,
Suppose we hadn’t any eyes,
And suppose we hadn’t ears?
For though the grass were gay and green,
And song-biras filled the glen,
And the air were purple with butterflies,
What good would they do us then?
Ah, think of it, my little friends;
And when some" pleasure flies,
Why, let it go, and still be glad
That you have your ears and eyes.
—Alice Cary, in Oliver Optic's Magazine-
A Night in a Cave.
It was a midday and midsummer too; yet,
as sometimes happens near the sea shore,
even at that season, a westerly breeze brought
dark scudding clouds, which scowled angrily
over the water. The waves reflected the
frown, curled themselves with evident disap
probation, and tossed a cold, salt spray into
the wind’s face.
A group of children, varying in age from
seven to fifteen, gathered round a large fish
ing boat that lay stranded on the beach.
Regardless of the threatening weather, they
were bent on a day’s amusement. Five of
the party —four boys and a girl—belonged
to one family ; the remaining boy was a cousin
who lived with them. The “Belle of Llan
dudno” had that morning returned from a
very successful fishing trip ; her owner, Wil
liam Owen, was gone to dispose of the fish ;
and the fishermen’s children knowing that the
boat would not be needed by him for several
hours, determined to carry out a long-talked
of plan. This was to sail round the Great
Orme and visit some of its caves, which
could only be reached by water. The Great
Orme is an immense limestone rock that
stretches two and a half miles into the sea.
What treasures the children expected to
bring home !—pebbles, fossils, possibly even
@os, bird’s nests. In their eagerness for pleas
ure they forgot duty. They did not consult
their parents, they sought no guidance from
God. Opportunity favored them. The holi
days had come, father was busy in
town, mother was gone to do a day’s work
at a gentleman’s house, the boat was ready,
they would start. “A strong push altogether,
boys, and we’re off!” shouted John Owen, as
he leant with his full strength against an oar,
and tried to make the fishing-boat glide over
the shining beach into the water. “ ’Tis easier
said than done, I can tell you,” replied Sandy,
a younger brother. “ I am out of breath
from pushing, while master Bill sits idly in
the stern, as if his only business was to give
orders ; and Jane is the color of a sheet be
cause the waves have a bit of a white top
knot on them. Get out every one of you,
and lend a hand, or the day will be gone be
fore the Belle is fairly afloat.” “Perhaps it
would be better not to go out at all,” timidly
urged Jane; “father does not know where we
are, and mother will be frightened if she
comes home and finds the house empty.”
“Nonsense, Jane!” shouted a chorus of rough
voices, “you are always afraid of something.
Go home if you like, but don’t spoil our fun.”
Jane seemed inclined to go, when her cousin
Thomas laid his hand on her shoulder, saying
in a gentle tone, “Stay with us like a good
girl; I promise to bring you back safe and
sound in time for supper.” Jane knew she
was doing wrong. Conscience gave some un
easy twinges within. But temptation is
doubly tempting when afforded by one we
love, and Jane had been accustomed to look
lip to Thomas as the best of cousins. How
ever, as if to leave her without excuse, at
the moment the boat’s bow touched the wa
ter, the boys joining in a ringing huzza, a lady
who had been walking on the beach hurried
toward them. “O, dear children !” she said,
“do not thing of going boating to-day with
out some grown person ; there is every sign
of a storm. Look at the driving clouds, and
listen to the moaniDg wind. I entreat you do
not venture.” But this well-meant warning
was only laughed at. The oars were plied
with a hearty good will, and the little party
were soon out of hearing. For some time
everything went on pleasantly, even Jane’s
pale cheeks caught a rosy glow, and her fears
were forgotten in the excitement of the mo
ment.
After battling against wave and wind for
two or three hours, the boys began to think
that the fun was growing rather tiresome.
Thomas proposed that they should land, eat
their small supply of bread and cheese in one
of the caves, and then turn homeward. The
hungry oarsmen pushed toward shore, for the
prospect of food and rest were very inviting,
and a large cavern lay in sight. The boat was
soon hastily fastened at the mouth of the cave,
and the little party thought they were quite safe
in creeping under its rocky sides into the dim
twilight of the upper end, where the noise of
the lashing waves sounded still more terrible
as it echoed back on the half-frightened chil
dren.
Half an hour or more had passed, when
the rising tide warned the boys that there
was no time to be lost in returning to the
boat. So rapidly had the water flowed in at
the narrow entrauce of the cavern, that walk
ing gave place to wading before the mouth
was reached. Jane alone was dry-shod;
Cousin Thomas crrried her in his arms. But
what’s the mater now 1 In a moment hope
was exchanged for fear, horror, despair—the
boat was gone! The loosely-tied rope had
slipped its hold, and the unguided fishing
craft tossed amid the waves far beyond the
reach of the stoutest swimmer. Sea and
sky were shrouded with a gray mi3t, into
which the little ones vainly peered for help,
where none was to be found. Then with one
piercing cry of anguish, that rang again and
again with mocking tones from the old cav
ern’s sides, the children turned once more
into the dark. Nothing but death was to be
expected. Slow, creeping death, strangling
them in its slimy folds amidst the horror of
darkness.
After wearily groping round the rocky

walls, hoping against hope that some open
ing might be discovered, the two younger
boys sat down and cried until sleep had
closed their weary eyes. Thomas then lifted
them, locked in each other’s arms, to.a high
ledge of rock, where he had already placed
Jane, and stood near with clinched hands and
fixed eye-balls, bitterly musing over the past,
dreading the future. As the eldest of the
party, he felt doubly guilty, and had no re
ply for the selfish reproaches with which his
cousins John and William unreasonably
taunted him. A stronger strife was raging
within. His whole life passed before him ;
sins committed, warnings unheeded, time
wasted, Sabbaths misspent, prayer neglected.
A soul of agony has few w ords. One cry
burst from his lips ; it was, “ Lord save me;
I perish !” And that prayer was heard.
The scarcely risen sun was casting its level
rays on the little town of Llandudno. A
crowd ot anxious looking women and weath
er-beaten men watched the launching of a
boat, and fervently wished her “God speed !”
One pale, tearless woman rung her hands and
lifted her eyes to heaven in silent prayer.
She was the mother of the lost children.
What a night of suspense she had had !
What a morning of desperate sorrow when
her husband’s fishing-boat was washed ashore
without a living thing on board ! And now
that her husband and some neighbors had
gone to search the caves and headlands, she
shut herself in her lonely cottage, and bury
ing her face in the bedside, groaned out her
grief to that Almighty Friend whom she had
early learned to know and love. She craved
the life of her little ones from the Author and
Giver of all life. A strange peace stole over
her spirit.
Toward noon the exploring party was seen
returning. With what eagerness every eye
was strained to count the number in the boat,
long before she came to the beach. Some
children certainly were there; two, three,
four. Only four. Then two must have been
drowned—and which ? But now, when the
boat touched ground, the missing two were
lifted in the strong arms of the fishermen,
and a shout of joy burst forth from every
lip. “AH saved, thank God !”
The rest is easily told. In the deep silence
of that dark cavern, the children were ex
pecting every moment would be their last,
when the tide began to fall as quickly as it
had risen, and they were once more on dry
ground. Following the retreating waves,
they all gathered at the entrance, and were
rescued by their friends in the boats from the
dangers of drowning or starvation. YVhat
different uses the young people made of their
painful experience and wonderful escape we
cannot tell; but of this we are certain, that
to his dying day, not one of them will forget
the night in the cave.— Child's Companion.
An Incident.
Dr. IT. is not a professor of religion. lie
has two little girls. One of them is quite
playful—we could almost say rude. The
other is very sweet, has a remarkably tender
heart, and thinks often about religion. One
day this sweet little girl came to her father
with a sober face, to ask him about religion.
She put a question something like this : “Pa,
is there any place like the Bible talks about,
where bad people are burned ?” Nosaid
the Dr., “that is all stuff; there is no such
place.” “There now,” said the other sister,
who had been listening, “that is just what 1
have been telling you all the time ; and that
is what makes me do bad.” Wonder if Dr.
H. thought he had mended the matter by de
nying the truth of the Bible ? How will he
feel on the day of judgment, if both those
little girls are with him among the lost, hav
ing been led by him to deny the truth of
God ? Dr. H. is not the only father
whose words and example are leading chil
dren into the way of error and ruin. “Train
up a child in the way he should” not “go
and will he “depart from it 1” W. M. D.
The Richest Boy in America.
The papers are telling about a boy in New
England, now fourteen years of age, who is
supposed to be the richest boy in the United
States, because he has a great deal of money.
To our mind the richest boy in America is
the one who is good-hearted, honest, intelli
gent, unambitious, willing to do right. He is
the one who loves his mother, and always has
a kind word for her ; who loves his sister or
sisters, and tries to help them, and regards
them with true affection. He is the boy who
does not call his father the “old man,” but
who loves him, speaks kindly to and of him,
and tries to help him as the hairs of old age
gather fast upon his brow.
The richest boy is the one who has pluck
to fight his destiny and future. He is the
one who has the manhood to do right and be
honest, and is striving to be somebody ; who
is above doing a mean action—who would
not tell a lie to screen himself or betray a
friend. He is the boy who has a heart for
others; whose young mind is full of noble
thoughts for the future, and is determined to
win a name by good deeds. This is the rich
est boy in America. Which one of our read
ers is it ?
This boy we like ; would be glad to
see ; would like to take by the hand and tell
him to go on earnestly, that success might
crown his efforts. And if he is a poor boy, we
should meet him at the threshold, bid him en
ter, and give him good advice, well and kind
ly meant. That other rich boy in New Eng
land, we don’t care anything about, for there
are fools and snobs enough to worship, flat
ter, and spoil him.
A Hint to bk Pondered. —The New Eng
land College for women is increasing yearly,
but it is stated that a large percentage of the
girls who offer themselves for the senior lo
cal examination at Cambridge are rejected.
The point of failure is said, not to be Latin
nor Greek, nor Euclid, but incompetency in
such elementary subjects as grammar, geog
raphy, history and arithmetic. The same
tendency to neglect elementary training and
to push girls forward in the more advanced
studies is apparent in this section. Many of
the graduates of our female colleges are even
bad spellers and worse readers.
Mrs. Fry’s Advice to her Sons. —Be not
double-minded in any degree, but faithfully
maintain, not only the upright principle on
religious grounds, but also on the brightest
honor, according even to the maxims of the
world. I mourn to say I have seen the want
ot this bright honor; and my belief is that
it cannot be too strictly maintained, or too
early begun. I like to see it in small things
and in great; for it marks the upright man.
I may say I abhor anything like being under
handed or double-dealing ; but let us go on
the right and noble principle of doing unto
others as we would have others do to us.
Therefore, in all transactions, small or great,
maintain strictly the upright and most hon
orable practice.
Faith. —A little girl died lately in New
Jersey. On her death-bed she said to her
mother : “ Mother, as true as you sit in that
chair, if Jesus has said he will save litttle
children, he will, won’t he ?” That little
child had faith.
Contention.—A medical student has never
been able to discover the bone of contention,
and asks whether it is not situated very near
the jaw bone.

The Sabbath School Teacher’s Reward.
“ I have labored in vain,” a teacher said,
And her brow was marked by care ;
“ I have labored in vain.” She bowed her head,
And bitter and sad were the tears she shed,
In that moment of dark despair.
“ I am weary and worn, and my hands are weak,
And my courage is well-nigh "gone ;
For none give heed to the words I speak,
And in vain for a promise of fruit I seek,
Where the seed of the word is sown.”
And again, witk a sorrowing heart, she wept,
For her spirit with grief was stirred ;
Till the night grew dark, and at last she slept.
And a silent calm o’er her spirit crept,
And a whisper of “ peace ” was heard.
And she thought in her dreams that the st>ul took flight,
To a blessed and bright abode;
She saw a throne of dazzling light,
And harps were ringing, and robes were white,
Made white in a Saviour’s blood. «
And she saw such a countless throng around
As she had never seen before—
Their brows with jewels of light were crowned,
And sorrow and sinning no place had found.
For the troubles of time were o’er.
Then a white-robed maiden came forth and said,
‘‘Joy! joy ! for thy trials are past 1
I am one that thy gentle words have led
In the narrow pathway of life to tread —
I welcome thee home at last.”
And the teacher gazed on the maiden’s facet
She had seen that face on earth,
When with anxious heart, in her wonted place.
She had told her charge of a Saviour’s graee,
And their need of a second birth.
Then the teacher smiled, and an angel said,
“ Go forth to thy work again ;
It is not in vain tbat the seed is shed.
If only one soul to the cross is led,
Thy labor is not in vain.”
And at last she woke, and her knees she bent
In grateful, child-like prayer—
And she prayed till answer of peaee was sent,
And Faith and Hope as a rainbow blent,
O’er the clouds of her earthly care.
And she rose in joy, and her eye was bright,
Her sorrow and grief had fled—
And her soul was calm, and her heart was light.
For her bands were strong in her Saviour's might.
As forth to her work she sped.
Then rise, fellow-teacher, to labor go 1
Wide scatter the precious grain—
Though the fruit may never be seen below
Be sure that the seed of the Word shall grow ;
Toil on in faith, and thou yet shalt know
“ Thy labor is not in vain I”
How far Should the Principle of Rewards
be Applied to Sunday School Scholars ?
C. R. Blackall. —Only wherein all can
have an equal chance. Regularity and punc
tuality in attendance, and missionary labor,
may properly be rewarded, and if the man
ner of giving the reward be not made offen
sive, will result in good. The practice of
giving rewards for memorizing a laige Hum
ber of verses, or for superiority in public
recitations, etc., is never otherwise than per
nicious.
E. D. Jones. —So far as they will give a
healthy stimulant to the scholar, that he may
produce a more faithful discharge of duty.
Rewards are legitimate when the whole school
can participate, and where all can reap pro
portionate with merit. A limited number of
rewards, where a great many are expected to
compete for them, and granted finally to a
few successful ones, is not in keeping with
the genius of the principle of God’s kingdom,
wherein all the faithful and true are blessed
by the riches of His grace. Such a scheme
creates temporary excitement, and leaves a
great number to be discouraged, and often
jealous.
Robert Lowry.— To the extent of encour
aging real effort. “ Good behavior ” is gen
erally too much of a negative quality to
merit positive reward. Some children are
not* sharp enough to be anything else than
“good.” Others, with abounding natural
ebullition, make ten-fold more effort to be
“good,” without being able to rival the com
posed exterior of their passive classmates.
Punctuality, regularity, learning the lesson,
introducing new pupils, and the like, are
worthy of recognition. It is better to re
ward for something done , than for something
not done.
Geo. A. Peltz.— Far enough to promote
an honorable rivalry, in which all pupils may
compete, e. g., not for a feat of memory, for
in scarce any respect do we differ more than
in the capacity to memorize. But reward
punctuality, attention, evident preparation of
lessons, care of lesson papers, bringing of
Bible or hymn book, securing new scholars,
etc. If there be but one or two prizes, a
large number of honest aspirants will be dis
appointed. Better multiply the gifts and
lessen their value. No better reward can be
given than a neat Bible, marked with the re
cipient’s name.
Alfred Taylor. —Enough to exert a whole
some, stimulating effect on them, Not as
pay for good deeds done, or to be done. Not
with such frequency as to make a child expect
and demand them. Not to make them the
chief end of the school work. Not enough
to make a child feel bad if he gets none.
Not in such a way as to promote angry feel
ings between children who are competing for
them. Especially, not as a reward for wor
rying cash contributions out of their friends.
H. C. Trumbull. —Only so far as to give
to the scholar an idea of kindly appreciation
of loving effort on his part, by the teacher,
or superintendent, or pastor, who offers the
reward. Sunday school rewards should be
rather presents than prizes. Never give a
reward for the memorizing of the greatest
number of Bible verses, —thus putting in
seeming superiority the scholar of quickest
memory, and half breaking the heart of one
who has studied harder. Do not allow a
scholar to think himself rewarded for doing
what was not properly his duty,—that he was
hired to perform extra services, or paid for
deeds of supererogation.
J. H. Vincent. —Avoid it as far as possi
ble. Let the reward be found in the power
and beauty of the truth, the system and spirit
of the school, the personal influence of the
teacher and superintendent.
Ralph Wells.— We cannot ignore the
principle , unless we would be wiser than the
word. Great wisdom is needed in their dis
tribution. 1 prefer as far as I can, to have
every reward come from the teacher. At
tach the scholar to the teacher, rather than
the school.— Nat. Bap.
Public Worship. —The recent Convention
of the Massachusetts Sabbath School Teach
ers adopted the following resolution : “That
Sunday school superintendents, teachers, pa
rents and other Christian laborers, should af
fectionately, earnestly and directly teach
Sabbath school scholars and adults, the great
and highly important duty of regularly at
tending public worship on the Lord’s day.”
Sunday School Records. —Rev. Dr. Tyng,
of St. George’s church, New York, has kept
for a quarter of a century a record of the
Sunday schools of his parish, which have in
cluded in all more than 20,000 scholars; yet
he can show to-day the attendance of any in
dividual of that number for any Sabbath of
that period. This record enables him to
point to* fifty ministers of the gospel who
have been led along from the infant class to
the pulpit, and more than a thousand per
sons who have been transferred from the
school to the church during that time.
Unconverted Teachers. —The late Penn
sylvania Sabbath School Convention adopted
this resolution : “ Recognizing the necessity
which may, in exceptional cases, compel the
employment, in the Sunday school work, of
those who have made no profession of their
faith in Jesus, this Convention, nevertheless,
regards ardent and devoted piety as the es
sential qualification of successful workers,
believing that with this as a foundation, all
other things will be added thereto.”

BY THE PROPRIETOR.
Fanners’ Clubs and Libraries for the Pro
motion of Agriculture.
-'(For Us.)
We took occasion last week to say some
thing, though not a tithe of what might have
been said, of reading farmers. We now in
vite the attention of those who may take in
terest enough in this subject to read this ar
ticle, to some thoughts on the establishment
of clubs and librSfies for the improvement
of farmers and the consequent improvement
and promotion of agriculture.
Meagre indeed would be the stock of knowl
edge possessed by any one individual if each
was dependent upon himself alone for its ac
quirement—if each was debarred the privi
lege of books, and the experience of other
men. Or, in other words, if every farmer
could know uo more of the principles of good
farming than what*he mignt be able to learn
by personal attention and labor therein, what
would be the measure of his success? Very
little, evidently. Hence the necessity for
intercourse and Che interchange of opinions
and views among men of the same vocation.
Accordingly, fmd among farmers every
where, a ready ex%''p<Mg e ot opinions on that
most vital of all tlfporal subjects—how to
raise bread—a that concerns the
whole wwGtf, bf 1 * one that is sadly, yea,
shamefully neglecpd ; not only by those who
think labor ignoble, but even by many who
are directly engaged therein. Yet it is pleas
ant to contemplate that thinking, far-seeing
men, in many agricultural districts, have
formed into clubs or societies, at whose meet
ings an exchange of practice and opinions
takes place, highly conducive to the general
improvement of Uie whole. Each one con
tributes his mite; yet, as many hear and see,
many are benefitted. Besides, there is strength
in union, and as they agree to club together
under certain rules and regulations, so they
are able to accomplish much more, and in
less time, than possible to do by loose,
irregular conversation. In societies, one
speaks at a time, while many hear, and as
the time allotted to each is short, all may
have an opportunity to speak. In common
assemblies it is not so. There, too often, all
speak at once, and nothing is learned. Be
sides, the society, as it calls together men
from a distance, affords a wider range, opens
a broader view, and adds a grand stock to
the common store; and it is such a store
that the more there is taken from, the more
remains, and the more it benefits. It is a
stimulus to activity, it urges onward, it points
to something brighter and better. In view
of these facts—in view of the pressing neces
sity of improvement in this vocation —is it
not desirable, my friends, that in all sections
of our country, societies for the promotion
of agriculture be organized ? There are some
already, but there are far too few. Permit
me to urge upon every reader of this article,
if he has no society in his neighborhood, to
turn his attentiomte it at once, and never
weary or turn back till he succeeds in arous
ing every farmer within reach, compelling
them to come in and organize. Suchjsocie
ties would become a nucleus around -which
would cluster all that is good or useful in
agriculture, and might prove the turning
point in the history of many farmers that
would make a bright era in their temporal
and social welfare.
Intimately connected with the formation of
clubs for the promotion of agriculture, is the
establishment of libraries for the increase of
knowledge among its members. It should
be one of the primary aims of every society,
to collect a library for this purpose. It may
be done very cheaply. Many of the mem
bers might have books that they would be
willing to contribute for the common benefit.
Second-hand books might be purchased in the
neighborhood, or at the book stores, at half
price. By these and other means, a respect
able library might soon be collected, and
who is there so ignorant as to deny the value
of good books?
We hope to hear of many new societies
being formed, and old ones strengthened.
We hope that they will so increase, and their
proceedings prove so interesting, that a jour
nal for the express purpose of publishing
them, will have to be started.

Turnips. —Farmers who wish to provide
suitable food for their sheep, cows, horses
and mules, in case of a limited supply of
other forage, cannot do better than to sow
largely of turnips. One acre of turnips will
fatten more lambs for the winter table, than
stacks of fodde'r or other forage of much
higher cost. If you wish fat mutton in win
ter, see .that aotes of turnip seeds are care
fully sown, andftiiat the weeds do not choke
out the plants. Cattle and horses may be
fed on turnips to advantage.
Save Garden Seeds. —lt is certainly a
matter of great importance that every family
should have an ample supply of early spring
vegetables. To make sure of such crops, it
is a matter of no little moment that fresh
and genuine seeds should be procured; and
can there be a better or more economical
place to get them than from our own gardens ?
To achieve this object, a little timely atten
tion only is necessary. Try the experiment
of saving every variety of seed from ma
tured and well-ripened vegetables. It is an
easy matter to save onion, beet, parsnip*
carrot, bean, pea, cucumbear, cantaloupe,
water-melon, and other seeds, and thus re
duce the drain from the State of money sent
elsewhere for that which we can provide at
home.
The Growing Cantaloupes.— ln thinning
out the number of plants in a hill to about
three, be careful to allow the strongest to
stand; and in removing the weeds and hoe
ing the beds, do not disturb the vines after
they have commenced running. Avery
large proportion—indeed much the greater
proportion—of the nourishment of the vines
is derived through the rootlets attaching
themselves to the soil as the vine grows.
Place a small piece of slate, wljich is the
best, though a piece of shingle or board will
answer, under each cantaloupe when half
grown, and it will prevent the earth from ex
tracting the flavor from about one-fourth of
the fruit, as we commonly find it to be the
case with the purchased cantaloupes.—Ger

Cradle Wagons.
(For Us.)
A few days since, while walking on Mari
etta street, we saw two interesting babies,
each about six months old, lying in a cradle
wagon, being shoved rudely along by their
nurse.
As the little wheels of the wagon bumped
over the rough pavement, the heads of the
sleeping babes jostled against each other
with considerable force. That those children
had a fretful night after such rude usage,
would not be surprising to any experienced
physician.
This’ incident calls to mind the frequent
observation of children thus jostled by these
cradle wagons, which, while useful in many
respects, are likely to work injury to their
little passengers, if not prudently used.
Very young infants cannot safely be trans
ported great distances in them. Their little
bodies are liable to be over-fatigued by the
bumping up and down, while being pushed
over rough pavements.
It would be well to have a care that chil
dren much enfeebled by sickness, are not
transported long distances in them. Fretful
or nervous children, cannot be benefitted by
being pushed through a crowded thorough
fare, while the nurse, whose presence is nec
essary to their composure of mind, is out of
sight, in the rear of the vehicle.
Remember that a child of light weight re
ceives but little benefit from the elasticity of
the springs, and therefore receives all the
momentum of the collision of the wheels
with the rough places in the pavements, and
some idea may be formed of the sufferings
an infant experiences during long journeys in
these little wagons.
Great care, too, should be taken, lest these
little wagons be upset, or from any other
cause, the little innocents fall out of them.
Accidents of this sort have proven fatal.
When it is considered that reckless nurses,
and thoughtless children are often seen,
heedless of danger, pushing them along, the

J. BRAD FIELD’S
FEMALE REGULATOR,
WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND.
This valuable Medicine is prepared for Women ex
clusively, and to be used by Women only. It is
adapted especially to those cases where the womb is
disordered, and will cure any irregularity in the
‘‘menses,” except in such cases as require a surgical
operation. As these last are very rare, the Female
Regulator is of almost universal application. In a
sudden checd of the “monthly courses” from cold,
trouble of mind or like cause, it acts like a charm, by
restoring the discharge in every instance, thus reliev
ing the fever, headace, pain the small of the back and
“ lower stomach,” flushes of. heat about the face,
chilly sensations, burning of the eyelids and general
restlessness. Taken in time, all these symptoms
pass away immediately, without injury to the consti
tution. Frequently, however, the proper remedy is
not applied in time, the disease becomes chronic, and
the foundation laid for numberless evils to the consti
tution of tho woman. The next “turii” comes
around and there is no “show,” or perhaps the
“whites” will appear. There will be some uneasi
ness about the womb, but very little or none of the
natural fluid escaping. The complexion becomes sal
low, bowels swollen, a sort of greenish caste about
the face, constant dull aching pains ill the head,
weight in the lower stomach and back, with or with
out whites, palpitations of the heart, pallor, exhaus
tion, indigestion, weariness, languor, aching across
the loins, loss of appetite, pain in the left breast,
tightness across the chest, cough and giddiness. It
still allowed to go on, “green sickness will be fully
developed—the headache becomes severe, with loss
of memory, diminished sensibility sick stomach, dys
pepsia, no relish for food, loss of flesn, Increased flut
tering of the heart , swelling of the feet, legs and body,
and occasional spitting of blood. The slightest effort
causes hurried breathing, almost to suflbeation. The
skin is flabby and has a “ doughy leeling ” This is a
sad picture, but it is the condition of thousands ot
women between the ages of 15 and 45, who are
brought to the verge of the grave by ignorance or
neglect to to take the proper remedy'. To all who are
afflicted with any of the symptoms above-mentioned,
in connection with any irregularity of the “monthly
sicknes,” we earnestly say TAKE DR. J. BRAD
FIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR. A few ounces
taken, you will at once experience its benefits, aud
with a little patience you will be fully restored to
health.
This remedy has been extensivhly used for upwards
of twenty years by many of the most experiened and
successful Physicians in Georgia.
We repeal, that DR. J. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE
REGULATOR is prepared tor Women, and to be used
by women only.
A trial is all we ask.

Atlanta, G 4., Dec. 29th, 1868.
Dr. J. Bradfield —
Dear Sir: I take pleasure in stating that sometime
previous to She late war, I used, with the utmost suc
cess, on a servant girl, your FEMALE REGULATOR,
prepared then at Bradfield’s Drug Store, West Point,
Ga. She had been suflering severely from suppressed
menstruation, and this Medicine soon restored her to
health. She is, to-day, living in Atlanta, sound and
well.
I will state, further, that I know of its being used,
with equal success, on a servant girl of my brother
in-law, Professor Rutherford, of Athens, Ga. This
woman had, I think, been diseased for six years.
She was a house servant, and seemed cured, up to
the time of “ freedom.” Ido not hesitate to endorse
your preparation for the purposes for which you re
commend it.
Yours truly, Jno. C. Whitn
STATE OF GEORGIA, Troup County.
This is to certify that I have examined the recipe

Dear Sir: I have repeatedly used in my family
your FEMALE REGULATOR, and have, in every
case, met with complete success. G. L. Davis.

Dear Sir: Having, formany years, been acquainted
with your FEMALE REGULATOR, and used it in
my family, I take great pleasure in stating to those
thus afflicted that I have never known it to tail.

the application of his Rupture Curative Appliances,
at his office,
No. 697 Broadway, New York.
The great experience of Dr. SHERMAN, resulting
from his long and constant devotion to the treatment
and cure of this disease, assures him of his ability to

or duration of the infirmity, or the difficulties which
they may have heretofore encountered in seeking
relief. Dr. SHERMAN, as Principal of the Rupture
Curative Institute, New Orleans, for a period of
more than fifteen years, had under his care the worst
cases in the country, all of which were effectually
relieved, and many, to their great joy, restored to a
sound body.
None of the pains and injuries resulting from the
use of other Trusses, are found in Dr. Sherman’s Ap
pliances ; and, with a full knowledge of the assertion,
he-promises greater security and comfort, with a daily
improvement in the disease, than can be obtained ol
any other person, or the invention, of any other per
