GRANDFATHER’S QUEST. i
t
CHAPTER 3. t
A
’Grandfather’s geest was much *
'apposed to melancholy disposi- .
tion and endeavored to persuade A
the people to cultivate a cheerful
mind and even to be merry and
jovial occasionally; and he was j
not so extremely grave and silent j
as to never indulge in any merri- ,
ment, but on the contrary he fre- (
quently made his associates -
sides shake with laughter, and ,
not by foolish sayings, but he .
generally endeavored in his wit ,
and humor to convey a useful .
lesson to his bearers, and it must
be remembered that fifty or sixty
years ago the people wore very
plain dressing—even went to
meeting* barefooted and without
coats in warm weather; However
there were a few exceptions for
there were some individuals, even
in those days,who were honorably
able to dress very fine and make
a fine appearance in society,
whose circumstances correspond
ed well with their appearance,
and they were sociable and
friendly with the middle and
poorer classes, and owed nobody
anything. They were much re
spected by all,and respected those
of plainer appearance. But Grand
father’s guest used to relate an
anecdote of a young man who
was of the poorer class, and had a
great ambition to keep himself
apace with the fashion which be
gan about this time to make its
apnearance; and as the fashion
changed from short or roundabout
coats to what the people called
clawhammer coats, this young
man had just before the fashion
changed contrived to get up
enough money to get him a sash
ionable roundabout coat, which
was new and elegant; and now he
was “out of fashion,” and as he
was acquainted with our old friend
he approached him one day at the
court ground and asked him what
he should do to fix himself up in
the fashion.
Guest—Do to be in the fashion?
Do nothing that you are not fully
able to do; be content. You are
very neatly and comforbably
dressed. These wealthy people
are able to purchase new clothing
frequently, if they choose; but
as you are poor, they will not dis
respect you because your circum
stances will not justify you in be
ing extravagant in dress.
Youngster—But 1 do not like to
be dressed so differently from
those with whom I wish to asso
ciate.
Guest—-Never mind that; it is
better for you to provide a good
living, be out of debt, and let
your conveniences at home and
your appearance abroad corres
pond than to be in debt for a fine
dress, and be pressed hard for
subsistence.
Youngster—Old friend it is time
to go home; will you go home
with me?
Guest—Yes, sir, with pleasure.
I have been acquainted with your
family a long time, and always
found a comfortable home among
them.
And they journeyed to the
•young man’s house, and after
taking a supply of refreshments
at the table of the young man’s
father, they passed the evening
pleasantly in discoursing upon the
economy and industry of the
family, and upon the propriety’ of
young men starting right in the
world. But while they were thus
enjoying themselves tho hour
came for the family to retire, and
as Grandfather’s guest generally
conformed himself to the regula
tions of hia post, he re tiled to rest
upon a soft bed in a pleasant room
not to bo frightened by a night
mare, but to enjoy (as he hoped)
pleasing visions of the future pros- 1
perity of the family under whose
roof he had taken shelter, and
with a solicitous feeling for the
welfare of the young man who
accompanied him hither he fell
into sweet repose. But it was not
long before his bed chamber was <
heard to roar with laughter,which
was repeated so often and so
heartily, that the whole family
were awakened by it; but they
knew not the cause, and let him
remain und is turbot until next
morning, when lie was asked by
the young man in presence of the
family what was the cause of his
diversion ? Why. said he. I saw a
laughable sight in my dream.
And what did you dream, said
the young man ?
Guest—l dreamed that you hadi
resolved to have a stovepipe hat:
and a clawhammer coat, and that
you was unable to buy either, and
that you had made a two and a
half story hat of yours by putting]
the crown of your father's old hat 1
on top of it, and yoa had just |
money enough to get cloth for a j
v — :
pair of clawhanimer tails, and had
them put on your roundabout, and
they did not set right, and they
were too long, being cut by a
pattern foi’ a very tall man, and
as you were quite chunky and
walked with an air of importance
that would have done credit to a
professional fop, your tall hat
leaning back at an angle of forty
five degrees, and your clawham
mer tails distended like a pair of
tailor’s shears open for coat cut
ting, the extremities of which
■were flapping your legs near your
ankles, formed a very diverting
spectacle—one at which I could
not help laughing, and I remarked
to the crowd “that man will break
his neck or be in the fashion,”
whereupon the boys took after
you and said they must have one
story of your hat, and not until
they had taken the top story off
your hat and the tails off your
coat did I recognize you, and I
awoke and found it was only a
dream.
The dream was so exceedingly plain
It gave resolution to this young man
Never to w a s'ovepipe hat,
And disgusted he was at the clawhammer
coat.

There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High Sofioyl.

and indeed ail the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
No one remedy is lender
Um called for by the necessities of
a tho American people than a
snr ® and ’“f® cnre for Fever
M WK J and Ague. Such we are now
JMbv enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate
the disease, and with assur I
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise
from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis- j
order must be of immense service in the com I
munities where it prevails, /’rerention is bettei J
than cure, for the patient escapee the risk which
i he must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis i
temper. This “CmtE” expels the miasmatic i
poison of Fevsb axd Ague from the system.
Bud prevents the development of the disease, if
taken on the first approach of its premonitory
symptoms. It is not only jthe best remedy ever
yet discovered for this class of complaints, but
glsp the cheapest. The large quantity we sup
ply for a dollar brings it within the reach of
everybody; and in bilious districts, where i
Fever ani> Ague prevails, everybody'should ;
have it, and use it freely, both for cure'and pro- ;
tection. It is hoped this price will place it within I
the reach of all —the poor as well as die rich.
A great superiority of this remedy over any '
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain ,
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Qui I
nine or mineral; consequently it produces no i
quinism or other injurious effects whatever u pon 1
the constitution. Those cured by it are left as |
healthy as if they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the eonseqtwr.ee I
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis- |
orders arise from its Irritation, among: which >
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, i
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, A sth- !
ma. Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, ;
Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, f'araiym, !
and derangement of the Stomach, all of which, >
when originating in this cause, put on the in
termitteut type, or become periodical. This i
“ Cvre ” expels the poison from the blood, and I
consequently cures them all alike. Kis an in
valuable protection to immigrants and persons !
travelling or temporarily residing in the mala- i
rions districts. If taken occasionally or dallv
while exposed to the infection, that will be ex- I
ereted from the system, and cannot accumninte !
m sufficient quantity to ripen into diaeare.
Hence it is even more valuable for protection
than cure; and few will ever suffer from Inter
miuents if they avail themselves of the proteo 1
tion this remedy affords.
For Zirer Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stim- I
mating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro
ducing many truly remarkable ctsres, where
other medicines fail,

Hair Vigor, ■
For restoring to Gray Hair its :

effectual for
preserving the
hair. It soon
xi'a •?! rcs^rcs faded
07 h a i r
to its original
‘ color, xoith the
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always
cured by its use. Nothing can restore '
the hair where the follicles are de» I
storeyed, or the glands atrophied an/
decayed; but such an remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu- .
lated into activity, so that a new •
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its <?ccasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, <pid .
consequently prevent baldness. The !
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma- j
tion of dandruff, which is often so un- ;
cleanly and offensive. Free from those [
; deleterious substances which make, '
some preparations dangerous aftd. inju • ;
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only ,
benefit but not harm it. If wanted !
merely for a HAIR DRESSING, j
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of*the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Among the great
1 discoveries of modem
■ ec * eno ®f f ol *’ aro °f
more real value to
jPMKgHr mankind than this es-
I f ectu ®l remedy for all
I vUsT s diseases of the Throat
I SO X Lungs. A vast
h i tr ’ 'virtucß,
throughout this ans
AroPl other countries, has
shown that it does
surely and effectually
control them. Tho testimony of our best citi
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
Cheery Pectoral will and does relieve and
cure the afflicting disorders of tho Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of CQnsumj>
tion, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the'forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
' unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con
vinces the most sceptical. Every family shoul'
keep it on hand as a protection against tne earb
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affectionf
which are easily met at first, but which beconn
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise U
be without it. As a safeguard to children, amic l
the distressing diseases which beset the Throa'
and Chest of childhood, Cherry Pectorai
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes am rescued from premature graves, ana
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
ful Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no coat or toil
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. It may be confidently re
lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing curez as
mamoysble as the greatest H uas ever effected.
