A CHILD’S CONFESSION.
There went a little scholar
With siow and lagging feet
Towards the great, church portal
That opened on the street.
Without the sun was shining ;
Within the air was dim ;
He caught a waft of incense,
A dying note of hymn.
lie drew the crimson curtain,
And cast a look inside,
To where the sunbeam lightened
The form of Him who died.
Between St. John and Mary
On Roodloft crucified.
The curtain fell behind him,
He stood a little while,
And signed him with the water,
And rambled down the aisle.
Behind a great brown pillar
The scholar took his stand,
And trilled with the ribbon
Of the satchel in his hand.
His little breast was beating;
His blue eyes brimming o’er;
Like April rains, his tears
Fell spangling on the floor.
An aged priest was passing;
He noticed him, and said,
“Why, little one, this weeping,
This heavy hanging head?”
My father, 0 my father !
“I’ve sinned,” said the child,
“And have no rest of conscience
Till I am reconciled.
Then list to my confession”—
He looted on his knee—
“ The weight my transgression
Weighs heavily on me.”
But then a burst of weeping
And sobs his utterance broke,
The priest could not distinguish
A single word he spoke.
In vain were all his efforts.
For wildly tossed liis*breast;
He could not still the tumult,
With hands upon it pressed.
Then said the pastor gently,
“You have a little slate;
Write on it the confession
You are powerless to relate.”
The child his satchel opened,
And strove his sins to note,
But still the tear- drop dribbled,
As busily as he wrote.
Now when tho talc was finished,
He held it to the priest
With sigh, as from the burden
He himself released.
The old man raised the tablet
To read what there was set,
But could not, for the writing
Was blotted with the wet.
Then turned the aged confessor
Towards the kneeling boy,
With countenance ail shining
In rapture of pure joy.
“Depart in peace, forgiven,
Away with doubting fears !
Thy sins have all been cancelled
By the torrent of thy tear*!”

A word to the wise—Keep so.
Th 3 best color for faces —Water color.
Kansas vigilance committees are called
“string bands.”
A young lady at a South Norwalk party
explained that her father conducted an
aquarium, which was much better than to
say he kept a fish market.
A grave elder once forbade the banns of
a certain young couple, because he had “in
tended Hannah tor himself.” That’s what’s
the matter with Hannah.
At a New York ball lately, a young lady
found her locomotion suddenly arrested, and
her partner turned to request someone to
get off her train. Nobody seemed to be
guilty, but following back the trail of a
narrow piece of trimming some forty feet,
he discovered at the end thereto an old
gentleman, the cause of all the mischief.
Pins were in great demand for some time
afterward.
“Cuffee, what you think de mose use
ful ob de two planet, de sun or de oder
planet, de moon?”
“Well, Sambo, I toll you, I tink de moon
orter take de lust rank in dat are ’tick
ler.”
“Why do you tink like dat, Cuffee, you
knows better.”
“Well, I tell you what makes me say so ;
kase she shines by night, when we want
light, and de sun shines by day, when we
don’t!”
“Ile'lo, Bonos, when did vou come up
from the swamps?”
“Yesterday ; Bill, [ tell you the mosqui
toes are bad, down there, I felt somethiug
sting me the other night, on my leg, I slap
ped my hand on the place, and killed about
twenty.”
“Impossible, Bones, can’t you come down
a few mosquitoes ?”
“Well, 1 killed ten.”
“No, no, you could’nt kill ten mosquitoes
at one time.”
“I killed five.”
“Oh, no, come down a few more, won’t
you ?”
“Well, I killed three.”
“No you did’nt.”
“I killed two.”
“I don’t think you killed two, Bones.”
“Bill, kn*>w 1 killed one.”
“I don’t believe it Bones.”
there’s one thing certain, I steered
him like h—l.”
A SAD STOUT.
“Vat you doin’, auntie ?”
“Writing letters,” responded auntie, who
with a bunch of envelopes and a quire of pa
per before her, was very yleup in the busi
ness indeed. Then a fat dimpled finger
stole cautiously up, and touched a finished
pile.
“One, two, free, four, amen !” counted
Tiny, who always cherished the belief that
“amen” stood for a full stop, and made use
of it accordingly.
“Vat for you write letters, auntie?”
“Oh, to send to my friends,” replied aun
tie, beuding over her work, and speaking in
a voice that seemed to issue from her eye
brows.
“Where is your friends ?” persevered the
child.
“Everywhere,” said auntie, who happened
to be writing that word at the mnuisue.
“Does letters go everywhere ?”
“Yes,” responded auntie, abseu tiy
“Would a letter go to papa ?”
“Yes,” said auntie, again, who this time
was in the very heart ol a brilliant descrip
tion and did not hear,
“How does this letter go?” urged she
again, this time touching auntie’s eibow by
way of experiment This experiment, so
far as auntie was concerned, resulted in a
bold, upward stroke, at an acute angle with
the last “hair line,” and she looked up, re
ally out of patience at last.
“Oil, Tiny,” she said, “what a little
mis—” but she stopped suddenly. There
was .such a look of appeal in the soft blue
eyes fixed anxiously upon her that she could
not find it in her heart to visit any indigna
tion on that small eolden head, so she only
kissed the rosy mouth and said, “Auntie is
very busy just now, darling, and you must
not disturb her. Another day she will talk
to you just as much as ever you wish. —
Here !” added she, observing the look of
disappointment that stole over the sunny
face; “see, I will make a letter ol you, and
send you to papa.”
She took a postage stamp out of the little
drawer, aud, parting the flossy curls, pasted
it right in the center of Tiny’s smooth white
forehead.
“I don’t know how letters goes,” said the
baby girl chuckling delightedly. “Does they
fly?”
“Letters don’t ‘goes/ ” said auntie, laugh,
ingly : “they go through the post office. —
Now run aloug and put yourself in a post
office somewhere, and papa will be sure to
find you.”
Oh, yes ! I know, I saw’d it —the pos’
office —me and papa—one day. It’s down
the corner, and around the ab’nue.”
The clerk at the post office heard a piping
voice, and looking dov n, saw a strange sight
—a tiny creature no more than
old, it seemed, with jockey hat awry, its
sweeping plume tangled with golded curls,
a postage stamp shining conspicuously in
the center of a polished forehead, and wist
ful blue eyes turned up to bim, glistening
with a great hope
“L want to go to papa,” said the voice.
The clerk smiled. “Where is your papa?”
be asked.
“Gone to God,” said Tiny, solemnly.
The smile died out. They had sent many
odd parcels to strange directions through
that office, but never one to that address,
thought he.
“I am a letter, and I want to go to pa
pa,” pleaded the child, her yearning eyes
still fastened on his face.
“What is your name?” asked the clerk.
But at that moment a b ustenng business
man, bound on the redress of some griev
ance, pressed iorward and brushed her aside;
she was drawn into the current of the piu
ple in at one door and out at the other, and
before she could nay another word, found
herself in the street again.
There she stood irresolute. Her heart
ached with disappointment; the passers-by
jostled and bewildered her; she began to be
afraid, and her eyes filled with tears. Sud
denly there was a great outcry. The fright
ened crowd fled into doorways. A pair of
runaway horses came dashing dowu the
street. The people on the crossings rushed
to the sidewalk. No one noticed an unpro
tected little onest’ nding there, with blanch
ed face and eyes wild with terror, no one
heard a feeble, wailing cry. A great burly
boy, with a basket on his arm pressed for
ward with blind speed, found something in
his pathway and bore it dewn—then it was
all over. The mad horses were down the
street and far away. The relieved pedestri
ans came out of their places of refuge. On
ly one did not “move on/’
A little lifeless figure, with wide open
blue eyes, long, soft golden carls sweeping
the curbstone, and dimpled hands thrown
out —lay where it had fallen. The jockey
hat had rolled from her head, its white fea
ther was draggled in the dust, but the post
age stamp still clung to the shining fore
head. The crowd looked on, and noted
with curious eyes. It had done its work
well. Ah me ! the little “letter” had gone
safely to papa and to God 9
Jim 11., out West, tells a good yarn about
a “shell bark lawyer.” His client was up
on two small charges, “frivolous charges,”
as shell bark designated (forging a note of
hand and stealing a horse.) On running
his eye over the jury he didn’t like their
looks, so he prepared an affidavit for contin
uance setting forth the absence of a princi
pal witness. He read it in a whisper to the
prisoner, who, shaking his head, said :
“Squire I can’t swear to that dokyiuent.”—
“Why?” “Kase it haint true.” Old shell
inflated aud exploded loud enough to be
heard throughout the room. “What! forge
a note and steal a horse, an’ can’t swear to
a lie ! Hang such infernal fools.” And lie
immediately left the conscientious one to his
fate.
A corresp< ndent of the “Scientific Amer
ican” commends onions as a specific against
epidemics—not as an esculent, but sliced and
kept in a sick room where they will absorb
any atmospheric poison. They should be re
placed by iresh ones every hour. It is no
ticed that in the room of a small pox patient
they will blister and decompose very rapidly
but wid prevent the spread of the disease.
Their application has also proved effective
in the case of’snake bites.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fe
ver, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fe
ver, &c., and indeed all the affections
which arise from malarious, marsh, or
miasmatic poisons.
No one remedy is louder
Ipl \-'0 called for by the necessities
of the American people than
HI i a sure an( * saf ® cure h> r
K3 Fever ami Ague. Sttch
M we are now enabled to offer,
with a perfect certainty that
it will eradicate the disease, and with assur
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This “ Cure ” expels
the miasmatic poison of fever anal Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first
approach of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever anal Ague Is not alone the con
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Rheuma
tism, (.out, lleuihu'tie, Hliiiilne.a,
Toothache, Earache,Catarrh, Asth
ma. Palpitation, Painful Affection
of the .Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the
Bowels. Colic, Paralysis, and derange
ment of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical. Tills
“CURE” expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. It is
an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in
the malarious districts. If taken occasion
all}' or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will he excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it. is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
where other medicines fail.

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For all the purposes of a Laxative
Medicine.
/-v Perhaps no one medk
JmS cine is so universally
jff body as a cathartic,
nor was ever any be
u fore so universally
I iB adopted into use, in
| /A every country and
among all classes, as
\ ( y/ 'jP?/ this nuld but efficient
- *■■.. —.qjr/ purgative Pill. The
obvious reason is,
that it. is a more relia*
■ —hie and far moro ef
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that lb cured them: those who have
not, know that it cures theirneighbors and friends;
ami all know that what it does once it does al
ways that it never fails through any limit or neg
glect of its composition. Wc have thousands upon
thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures
of the following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not
publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any
deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action tohealth,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de
rangements as arc the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:—
For OyapepNia or Indigestion, Liatleaa
ness, Languor and Loss of Appetite, they
should tie taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache, Jaundice or Breen Nickness, Bil
ious Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct tho
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Itlienmati.in, Clout, (.ravel, Pal*
pitation of the Heart, Pain in the
Hide, Back and Loins, they should be contin
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Broiisy and Bropslcal Swellings
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should bo
taken as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
Asa Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
tho digestive apparatus.

After having given the above Knitting Ma--
chine a fair and impartial trial, the undersigned
has no hesitation in ptououncing it a success
and recommending it to all who desire to do all
kinds of kuitti g rapidly and with a smooth

hand work. It turns the heal and narrows the
toe of a stocking beautifully. He believes ft
pair if ordinary stcekings can be knit on the
machine in an hour. The stitch Is the same
as that made by hand, and Instead of being in
tcrior, the work will be fonnd to stand much
more usage, The machine can be seen in ope
ration at any time at my house.
