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. Student.

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.

Ayer’s Ague Cure, #or Fever end Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumo Ague, Periodical or BHloub Fever, &c., 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.

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.

A dressing : which is at ! -WPmsk once agreeable, , 7 healthy, and 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. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

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.
