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*!” §mmovou& 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. A Mobile clock is on an awful strike. At last accounts it had reached 999, and still stnkiug. ISTew .Advertisements.

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.

TRY IT! 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. Dr. J. C.
