ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.
Don’t Lose Your Grip, My Boy!
A Western Way of Tellino a Boy
that Life is Shout and hr Mi st
Make the Mosj of it.
Don’t lose your grip, my boy! Hold
on to yourself, and believe in your des
tiny. There are times in the life of
every man, I suppose, when lie won
ders if life is worth living; when lie
balances the good and evil in this world,
the pain and pleasure, the wrong and
the justice, the happiness and the suf
fering, and despairingly thinks the
black side is the broadest, and there
isn’t enough good in life to make it
desirable. He thinks “the earth is
given into the hands of the wicked; he
sees that “man is born unto trouble, as
the sparks tly upward.” “The wick
ed live, become old, yea arc mighty in
power,” while wisdom crieth in the
streets, homeless as a tramp and friend
less as a last year’s candidate; he sees
the wicked man spread himself like a
green bay tree with a home in town, a
cottage at Cape-May and a shooting
box in the mountains and only pay
thirty cents on the dollar, while honest
industry pays cash for his hickory
shirt and overalls and digs in the street
for .$1.50 a day. Then there is a little
struggle, and if he is a man worth liv
ing, he is going to live. If he has a
manly belief in life and its responsibil
ities, if he has a manly faith that he
was put on this planet with a mission
nobler than his back and stomach, des
tiny beyond two changes of raiment
and three meals a day, he will face his
troubles like a man, and buffet them
aside like the waves of an angry stream
though year after year they double and
beat and break upon him. grows
into a giant while he faces them; he
developes a rugged grandeur of man
hood, and he will not measure life by
the narrow boundaries of the cradle
and the grave.
A man should be the best judge of
his own worth, and when he kills him
self, he must know whether or not he
didn’t need killing. He must know,
especially if he be a young man, that
killing was about all he was good for.
Suicide is a cowardly way of getting
rid of life’s duties and responsibilities
and labor. A Brutus would fall upon
his own sword, rather than endure the
contempt of a victor, the disgrace ol
an enemy’s triumph. But a Beecher,
facing a trial that would appal the soul
ot a man of iron, lives grandly on,
without turning away his face on
swerving one foot from his path; lives
to finish his work, to see his enemies
scattered and humbled, while his whi
tening hair covers his old temples with
honor. My boy, your burden will
never be so heavy that you cannot be'ar
it. When it weighs beyond your
strength it will be taken away from
you, or you will be taken away from
the burden. But don’t throw it down
by throwing yourself away.
1 think I never but once thought life
was too grievous to be lived any longer.
The dark thought, a blight of wick
edness, carne into my soul one day,
when I was half-way up the gloomy
stairway that led to a dentist’s hospi
table parlor. I believe the rest of the
way up that stairway of groans I want
ed to die. And when the dentist, after
a careful examination of the semi-circle
of anguish that pervaded my mouth,
told me he would have to extract three
and fill eight, I felt that if I died in
that chair all the martyrs who had
sung their triumphant way to death in
the hungry flames, in the cages of wild
beasts, in prison dens and at the edge
of the sword, would get out of the way
and hide and cover their abashed faces
when they saw me coming. Honestly,
my boy, that is about the way 1 felt.
But after all, my martyrdom did not
amount to much. Thousands of com
mon place people endure more suffering
every day than you and I have passed
through in all our lives. Be brave, my
boy. Look your troubles in the face;
measure them by the sufferings of the
early <Christians, and you’ll be ashamed
to grumble or groan.— Burdette.
Vital Questions.
Ask the most eminent physician
Of any school, what is the best tiling in
tlie world for quieting and allaying all irri
tation of the nerves and curing all forms of
nervous complaints, giving natural, child
like refreshing sleep always?
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
“Some form of Hops!”
CHAPTER i.
Ask any or all of the most eminent physi
cians:
“What is the best and only remedy that
can be relied on to cure all diseases of the
kidneysand urinary organs; such as Bright’s
disease, diabetes, retention or inability to
retain urine, and all the diseases and ail
ments peculiar to Women”
“And they will toll you explicitly and em
phatically ‘Buchu-’ ”
Ask the same physicians
“What is the most reliable and surest cure
for all liver diseases or dyspepsia; constipa
tion, indigestion, biliousness, malarial fever,
ague, &c„” and they will tell you:
“Mandrake! or Dandelion!”

“The boat has turned over and
drowned your son,” said a man ap
proaching a fishing party, and ad
diessing an old gentleman. “Great
goodness!” exclaimed the old man,
bursting into tears. “Ho was my hope
in this life. He was the best boy on
the place; and beside that, lie had tlie
bait cup with him.”
Ayer’s Sarsparilla is designed
for those who need a medicine to purify
their blood, build them up, increase
their appetite, and rejuvenate their
whole system No other preparation
so well meets this want. It touches
the exact spot. Its record of forty
years is one of constant triumph over
disease.
A friend of ours whose wife is out of
town, says lie thinks he can now ap
preciate what it is to be an orphan.
AYER’S PILLS.
A large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
A vim’s Cathartic Pills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all >t
which they are a sale, sure, prompt, an!
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation
which they are held by the medical prohs
These Pills are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and arc absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.

THE NEW PATENT
DUST-PROOF
stem mm on m r m
MANUFACTURED 15Y THE
American Watch Cos.,
WALTHAM, MASS.
This case is formed in one solid piece with
out joint or seam, opening in front only,
tints avoiding tlie usual Cap, and securing
greater strength and durability.
These watches are all open’ face. The
bezel, into which an extra strong crystal is
fitted with an especially prepared water
proof cement, is attached to tlie case by
screwing it thereon, and thus forms an air
tight junction with tiie body of tlie case,
which is proof against dust and moisture.
To railroad men, travelers, miners, lum
bermen and others who are almost constant
ly exposed and who have to make frequent
reference to tlie watch, these qualities are
of the utmost importance.
The Tel lowing- Letters tell their
own Story.
“Valdosta, Georgia, July 20,1882.
“1 sold one ot your Patent Dust-Proof
Cases about ten months ago, and tlie other
day it came back to me with the request to
make it wind easier. On examination I
found that the stein was rusty, and I inquir
ed into the cause of it. The gentlemen
stated to me that he was starting some saw
logs that had lodged in tlie bend of the river,
when his chain caught in a bush and threw
his watcli into about twelve feet of water,
and lie was about two hours finding it.
When lie got it out it was running and lie
thought all right. In about three months
lie found that the stem was hard to turn
and sent it to me.
I can say that tlie watcli is all that tlie
company claims for it and recommend it to
all railroad and mill men.
B. TV. BUN TLY.”
“Clinton, lowa, April 2i), 1881.
“I wish you would send me a spring for
the Win. Ellery Watch. * * * By the way
this is a watch 1 sold in your Screw Bezel
Case to a farmer last fall. The first of Jan
uary he lost the watcli in tlie woods, and
found it this week in about one foot of
water. It had lain three months and over
in snow and water, with but -slight injury
to tlie watch—only a hair spring.
“O. S. RAYMOND.”
The above were very severe tests, and de
monstrate beyond a doubt, that for any rea
sonable length of time during which a watch
might be under water it would receive no
injury whatever.
We make these cases in both gold and sil
ver, aild as a Perfectly Dust-Proof stem
