claim* for it a superiority over till ri-meities ever olfer
*d to the purlic for the wife, certain x/iealo and per
manent cure of Ague and Fever .or Cbills and Fever
whether of short or longstanding. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern Country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that tu no ease
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ca rieil out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient tor a cure, and whole
families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health It is, however,
prudent, and in every case mo, e certain to cure, if its
use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease lias been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require aey aid toke*p the bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after h -vlng t ken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’B Vtfi lETA.-

Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
To my United States and World-wide Read
ers:
I HAVE received many testimonials from profe*-
H.onal and medical men, as my almanacs and vari
ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine.
The tollowing from a highly educated and popuiur
piip iclan in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen
sible counnunicationf I have ever received. Dr. fitm
ent knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimo
ny dtserves to be writlen in le ters of gold. Hear
whai the Doctor says of Bull's Worm Destroyer
Villanow, Walker co., Ga, )
June 29th, 1866 )
DR. JOHN DULL—Dear Sir:—l have recently giv
en your “Worm Destroyer” several trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
instance, to have the wished-for effect. lam doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the con
trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy tei I shall use a great deal of it. I art
aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the
teachings and practice of a great majority of the rej
ul>ir line of M. D.’s. but I see no just cause i.r good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to he ef
ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all
and any means to alleviate suffering hum vnity which
I may be able to command—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
d its effects first, and secured the sole right t( secure
hat knowledge. However, lamby no mi ans an ad
vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos
trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all
manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.—
Please reply soon, aud inform me of your best terms.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficiency
of your Sarsaparilla, ami the healing ami beneliciat
qualities it possesses. I send you the following state
ment of my case:
I was wounded about two years ago—was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, n.y wounds have not healed yet. I
havenotsatup a moment since 1 was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and I need something to assist nature. I
have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in any thing
else. I wish that that is genuine. Please express me
half a dozeD bottles, and oblige
Capt. O. P. JOHNSON.

P. S.—The following was written April 89, 16G&, by
Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt Johnson.
I>K. BULL—Dear Sir : My husband, Dr. 0. S. John
son, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Cent-si
New York, where he died, leaving the above O. P.
Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he had
a chronic diarrhoea and scrofula, for which I o aV e
him your Sarsaparilla. IT CURED HIM. I have for
ten years recommended it to many In New York, Ohio,
■and lowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it, The cure* effect
ed in some eases of sorofulaHtnd fever sores were
utmost miraculous lam very anxious for my son to
again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is fear
ful of getting a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe he
will recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOHNSON.

The Apjuai.
The following tu**utifnl lines vn iu
1 1 iced in the scrap boek of a now de-
C3ased wife about a week before her
demise. How beautiful and touching
they are under the circumstances. —
She expected when placing them iu
the book to live but a short time:
Come near me, let mo lay mv baud
Once more thy brow,
And let me whisper iu tiliue ear
Love’s last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe thesertrembiing
words,
When they lie cold in death,
And ihy dear cHeek can feel no more
Their warm and loving breath.
I go from thee: God only knows
How I have longed to st;iy —
How I have shuddered thus to tread
The long and shadowed vv; v.
Faith tells me that I soon must know
The joys the blessed find,
And yet I falter while I east
A lingering look behind.
! see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterness and tears;
But i can leave thee something still,
To lighi thy weary year;
Young tender forms will cling to thee,
Perhaps will miss uty tone,
And though they may nit share thy
grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer he many lonely hours
The motherless must know.
The world, with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make thee glad;
But they must linger round the hearth
Still desolate aud sad.
And 0, when time shall call thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come
When thou wilt win another form
To shave thy heart and home—
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
A younger, fairer face,
And bid thy children smile on her,
Who takes their mother's place.
But think not could I speak to thee,
That I would frown or blame,
Though they should love the stranger
one,
And call her by my name.
For thej* will speak to thee of me,
My memory is their trust;
A word, a smile, a look like mine
AY ill call me from the dust.
Yet make my grave no place of tears,
But let the dear ones bring
To cheer their mother’s lonely home,
The blossom’s of the Spring;
And there thou, too, muy’st kneel,
And softly press the earth
That covers her. whose face once gave
A brightness to thy heart.
Then will the fair forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou can’st forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be aii thy heart can ask,
So dear, so true to thee;
But O, the spring-time of thy love,
Its freshness was for me.
May she he blest who comforts thee,
And with a gentle hand
Still guide our little trembling ones,
W ho make our household baud
She cannot know the tenderness
That fills their mother’* breast,
But she can love them for thy sake,
And make thee more than blest.
Word Puzzles.
Perhaps, writes a correspondent,
you would like to have me tell you
some funny things which I have heard
about pronouncing.
There is a word of only five letters,
and you take away two of them, ten
will remain. What word is that? It
is often. If you take away of, ten
will remain.
There is a word of fit* letters, and
if you take away two of them, six will
remain. What word is that ? Sixty.
Take away t y, six will remain.
Here is a puzzle: Take away my
first letter, take away my second let
ter, take away all my letters, and I
am always the same. Can you guess
that? You are right; it is the mail
carrier.
There is one which, if you change
the place of one of its letters, means
exactly the opposite from what it did
at iiist. What is the word? It is
united. Place the i alter the t, and it
becomes untied.
Can you tell me what letter it is
that has never been used but twice in
America. It is a; it is used only
twice in America.
Can you tell me when there were
only two vowels ? It was in the days
of Noah, before yon and I were born—
in the days of no a, before u and i
were born.
Can you tell me when it is that a
blacksmith raises a row in the alpha
bet ? If is when ho makes a poke r
and shove 1, (a poker and shovel.)
Perhaps you can tell me why a hare
is easier to catch than an heu'ess ?
It is because an heiress has an i, and
a hare lias none.
Now lei me hear whether you can
spell the fate of ail earthly things with
two letters ? I will tell you —and k (de
cay.)
I suppose you have often heard, or
can guess how to sjiell mouse trap in
three letters ? You are right. It is
c-a-t t
Can you tell a man iu one word
that betook a late breakfast? This
is the way attenuate (at ton you at ,j .
Cam you tell me what word is al
ways pronounced faster by adding two
letters to it? It is the word fast; add
er to it, and it is faster.
What ij 1 tic word of one syllable
which, if you take away two letters
from it-.' will become a word of two
syllables? You must try and guest
that, for it is my last puzzle. It is

A Strange story.
DESTINY IS SOME mills PAST FINDING OUT.
A man died iu lv msas city several
weeks ago, whose life had been a wea
ry one —and, maybe, harder than he
could l>*ar —for to those who knew him
there where a few hints of a brief death
struggle that was not natural.
George K was born ii Kentucky,
and came to Cooper county, Missouri,
at the age of sixteen. This was in
18H8. Boon his parents died, and he
whs left alone aud penniless. In 18-
sl> he went to California, entered the
mines with the zest of a boy, worked
hard, was successful, bought land near
Sf crauieuto City, aud soon became a
rich anti prosperous man. In 1858 he
met the woman who, through no fault
of his, was to exert such a sad intiucuee
upon alt his after life. This woman
was said to be beautiful accom
plished pure and loveable, li met
her, was fascinated, proposed, and as a
result, au engagement followed. The
wedtaing day had been suggested if it
had not been decided upon, and for
one brief month the sun of lmppiu ss
shone out solacing before the clouds
closed over it.
Preceding the r edding it became
necessary for 11 to return to the
mines to arrange some business there
claiming his immediate attention. He
went, became involved in a quarrel with
a man he had never seen, was attack
ed, and to save his own life killed his
antagonist Tue dead man was his
intended’s brother. He did not know
it then, nor until his trial was over,
nor until after lie went again to Bac
lameuto to see all that he had ever
known or loved.
It is not necessary to depict tbejj
interview—the tumble remorse on one
side, the frenzied reproach and regrete
on the other. At hist the sister grew
frightfully calm—so calm, indeed, that
she told of her brother; how he had
left home at the iirst news of the gold
discovery; how he had not written;
how wild stories had come buck of his
recklessness and dissipation; and at
last nhe dreadful day when he lay dead
at the feet of of her lover.
R ’a grief was no less bitter than
that of the stricken sister, aud so when
she said tc him. “I will love you till
I die, bul I will never marry you on
this earth, because my brother’s oljod
is on your hands,” he sold out every
thing he owned in California, and
came back to Missouri, lirst pledging
to each other that they would corres
pond as regularly as tae condition of
the mails then permitted.
She wrote once and no more. In a
month following her lirst letter she,
100, had gone to join her first brother
iu the eternal world. This second
Mow fell heavier than the first for the
poor man hud soi e hope while the
w Allah lived. Now he was alone for
ever.
Presently the war came and It
enlisted in tire Confederate army. In
the hot charge made upon the Grave
yard Foil, at the battle of Helena,
Arkansas, a uunnie ball passed thro'
both Pi s cheeks, and cut his
tongue evenly off about mid-way its
length. After that he never spoke au
intelligible word again. Indeed, he
cared very little to speak. In subse
quent battles he tiled hard to throw
his life away am 1 was noted in his
command for the most reckless audac
ity. At Jenkins’ Ferry it seemed as if
he would get what he most desired,
for he was badly shot iu the head,
the skull being fractured and the
brain exposed. He recovered in so
much that the wound healed, but the
poor tried man bad convulsions until
he died. It is supposed that these
convulsions impaired his luiud to a
certain extent, for he frequently de
dared he saw the face-of the woman
whom lie once loved—the face of the
woman whose memory had never left
him during ail the bitter and sorrow
ful years oi his life.
But he is at rest now. Let us hope
that his soul has joined, iu the spirit
land the soul of oue who went out into
eternity undar the shadow of a great
darkness.
A person who was sent lo prison for
marrying two wives, excused himself
by saying ‘'that when he had one, she
fought him, but w hen he got two they
fought each other.”
A fool in a high station, is like a
man on the top of a high mountain —
everything appears small to him, and
he appears small to everybody.
At a wedding the other day, one of
the guests who is often a little absent- |
minded, observed gravely:
‘I have often remarked that there '
have been more women than men mar
ried this year.”
To get more than one hundred cents
for a dollar—lnvest it in a bottle of
perfumery.
And old maid of our village says
marriage is like any othar disease —
while there’s life, there’s licpe.
The poorest use a man can put time
and talent to is to waste them in chas
ing a lie to see who told it.
Shoes and gloves are worn this win
ter, as usual—a size smaller than feet
and hands.
The child who cried for an hour one
day last week didn’t get it.

man, having the xppoanmee of a well
to-do farmer, eauh* into the ear look
ing far a sent. The gentleman go >d
hntnredly made room for him by liis
side, and the old man looked him over
from head to foot.
“Going to Providence?” he asked at
length.
“No, sir,’ the stranger answered
politely , T stop at Andover.”
'I want to know ! I belong out that
way myself. Expect to stay long?’
‘Only over night sir.’
A slior l pause.
‘Did you calculate to put up at the
tjfvern f
‘No sir; I expect to stop with Mr.
Skumer.’
‘What! Job Skinner? Deaoou Job
—lives in a little blown house on tin
old pike? or mebbo its bis broth
er’s ?
Was it Titn Skinner’s—Squire Tim’s
—where you was going?’
‘Yes, said the gentleman, smiling;
it was Squire Tim’s.’
‘Dew tell if you are going' there to
‘-’top over night! any con: mot ion
his’n ?’
‘No, sir.’
‘Well, now, that’s corns! The old
man ain’t got into any trouble nor noth
in’, has he?’ lowering his voice; ‘ain't
goin’ to serve a writ onto him, be ye ?’
‘Oil, no, nothing of the kind.’
‘Glad ou’fc No harm in askiu,’ I
s'pose I lcken Miss Skinners some
connection of youru ?’
‘.No,’ said the gentleman. Then
seeing the amused expression on the
faces-of two or thive acquaintances in
the neighboring seats, he udded, in a
confidential tone.
‘I am going to see Squire Skinner’s
daughter.’
‘Law sakes! said the old man, his
face quivering with curiosity. ‘That’s
it, is it? Skinner, be ye? Well, Miran
dy’s a nice gal-—kinder homely, and
long favored, but about the right age
for her, too. Kep’ company together
long ?’
T never saw her in my life, sir.’
‘How you talk ! Somebod’ys gin her
a recommend, I s’pose, and you’re a
goin’ clear out there to take a squint
at her !—Wa-al I must say there’s ns
likely gals in Andover as Miraudy
Skinner. I’ve got a family of glowed
up darters myself. Never was mar
ried afore, was ye? Don’t see no weed
on your hat.’
‘I have been married about fifteen
years, sir. I have a wife and five chil
dren.’ And then as the long restrain
ed mirth of the listeners to this dia
logue burnt forth at the old man’s
open-mouthed astonishment, he hast
ened to explain :
‘I am a doctor, my good friend, and
Squire Skumer called at my otliee this
morning to request my professional
service for his sick daughter.

A V. im]■ h r i ian feance Lrc tltei
—Bill lion, a ItupeiUice Lictimr
at Kuril viih, I Him is, was ] reaching to
1 the ytin g c n Lis favorite theme. He
i said :
“New L( ye, wl tn I nek you a ques
tion yen n ui-n.t be afraid to speak
J right out and answer me. When you
| look around and see all these tine
| houses, farms and cattle; do you ever
j thin k who owns them all now ? Your
f attl>< is cwn tlum, do they not ?”
“Yes, sir !” shouted a hundred of the
boys.
“\\ ell, where will your fathers be in
tv <rty y<ai s from now ?”
“Dead!” shouted the boys.
“That’s light. .And vriio will own
all this property then?”
“Us toys,” shouted the urchins,
i “Eight. Now tell me—did you ever
! in going along the streets, notice the
drunkards lounging around the saloon
i door, w aiting lor somebody to treat
1 them ?”
“Yes sir, lots of them ?”
“Well, where will they be in twenty
years from now ?”
“Dead” exclaimed the boys.
“And who will be the drunkards
then ?”
“Us boys!”
Billy was thunderstruck for a mo
ment; but, recovering himself, tried to
tell the boys how to escape such a
fate.
Mind You" Dots.— A member o the
Legislature wrote to his wife on his ar
r ival in Atlanta, that he had “formed a
connection with a \ery agreable Mess,
and expected to spend the time very
pleasant ly.” Unfortunately, to the
surp rise ul and mortification of the good
lady to whom he was writing, he inad'
v ertently dotted the “e” in the world
