A biko wpassagk.
As the day’s last light is dying,
.Afi the night’s first breeze is sighing,
I send you, love, like a messenger dove, my thought
through the distance flying!
’ ris a bird that in plume and sinew
Is strong as the truth within you;
Tis a bird as white as the faith you plight with the
lover so proud to win yon!
I bid it speed till it meet you,
Then fluttering downward, greet you,
With a coo perchance, or with glowing glance that
softly seems to entreat you f
Lit it perch on your sill; or better,
Let it feel your frail hand’s fetter,
For under its wing it shall surely bring love, hid
den away like a letter 1

pound of melted butter and milk enough
to make a soft paste of all the flour •
cover this with a dust of flour, and let
it rise again for half an hour; shape
into buns, and lay apart on
a buttered tin, in rows, to rise for half
an hour; bake in a quick oven. A few
currants are added with the butter.
Union Cake.—First make your black
cake after the following recipe: One
oip <>f butter, two cups of brown sugar,
one cup of molasses, one cup of strong
coitee,* four and a half cups of sifted
tio V r > * our eggs, two teaspoonfuls of
soda, two of cinnamon, two of cloves
and one of mace, one pound of raisins,
one pound of currants, and one-fourth
pound of citron. More fruit makes the
cake handsomer, but that quantity will
do. . Bake the cake in round pans with
straight sides. The loaves should be
one and a half inches in thickness after
baking. Next make a white cake as
follows : One cap of butter, four cups
of powdered white sugar, two cups of
sweet milk, two cups of corn-starch
mixed with flour, four and a half cups
of sifted flour, the whites of eight eggs,
six teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
Flavor slightly with bitter almonds.
Bake in the same pans that were pre
viously used for the black cake, and
have the loaves as nearly as possible of
the same thickness. After the cake is
all cold, each black loaf should be spread
with a thick coating of lemon and sugar,
made as follows : The white of one egg
thoroughly beaten, the grated rind of
two and the juice of three lemons, and
powdered sugar enough to make a thick
froth ; then lay a white loaf upon each
black one, and frost as you would any
other loaf, being particular to use no
other flavoring than lemon in the frost
ing. The result is elegant loaves, half
of black and half of white cake, which
are equally tempting both to the eye
and the palate.
Druidism.
There are still found in Wales some
people who worship according to the
Druid forms, which were everywhere
honored and observed in the British
islands before the landing of Julius
Caesar. M. D. Conway writes an ac
count of the spring gathering of these
disciples of the ancient Druids. They
meet at the solstitial period twice a
year, and, it chanced, assembled this
spring on Christian Palm Sunday,
claim that in their great festivals
the Christians have borrowed ancient
customs and rites which prevailed
among the Druids long before thecom
lug ol Christ. The Savior’s resurrec
ion is invested with symbols that once
mean., the resurrection of nature. So
with other festivals. At the Welsh
meeting the archdruid gave an account
of the revival of Druidism in this
country, and read the names of some
thirty persons residing in or about
Rochester, New York, who were appli-
for admission into the order. An
American apostle, Ale Kedna, proposes
to s*art a Druidic newspaper in Roches
ter, and has already translated their
great work. “The Pristine Glory of
the Welsh.” A circle of Druids has
been formed in New York, and a gath
ering of bards is to be held during the
summer. At the celebration such as
Conway describes, it is customary for
the arclidruid to alter a prayer from the
Stone to Keli (the concealed) and recite
a poem. as this worship may
be, its revival is not imminent.
The Most Deadly Disease.
The most deadly acute disease from
which the people of the United States
are to day suffering is pneumonia.
There are not less than 2,000 cases at
this hour in the city of New York
alone. Many are nearly down with
it who do not suspect it, and these ean
bring it on by a single act of indiscre
tion. Ten minutes on a street corner
in the cold wind ; a glass of brandy or
whisky; late hours and exposure at
night; an evening in a badly ventilated
church or theater any of these may
permit the latent disease to manifest
itself.
The disease attacks the lungs, but is
not, as generally supposed, a species of
hasty consumption. There is very
little expectoration in pneumonia, and
in many cases none at all. The cold
settles on the lungs, the air passages
fill up withmucus, and death is due to
the impossibility of breathing, or to
the weakness which the disease brings
on, as cautious dieting is necessary.
When the trouble in the lungs is over
come, the patient is often left in so low
a condition that it is impossible to
make him rally. It is a rather singular
phase of this deadly disease that the
percentage of cases is as four to one in
favor of men. Women very seldom
suffer from it. This may be due to the
greater exposure to which men are sub
jected, and the more sedentary life of
women, who d© not suffer fiom such
constant changes and such shoofcs
to the lungs. The best preventive
against pneumonia is to keep the
mouth closed when going from a
hot place to a cold, and breathe
through the nose. It comes like a flash
of lightning; there is no preparation
or means of averting it. One may go
to bed healthy, to all appearances,
and wake up with the disease in full
blast. Then it is simply a question of
constitution. Medical skill avails but
little, and physicians pursue but one
course—to keep the patient in a warm,
equal temperature ; to give remedies as
much as possible to clear the lungs,
and to seek to keep up the proper ani
mal heat. The patient ordinarily partly
loses consciousness on the third day,
and the crisis is reached on the seventh.
If not dead then, there is a small
chance of recovery, and all depends
on the strength of the patient.
Pneumonia is far more fatal with ns
than it was years ago. We may attrib
ute the increaaed mortality from this
disease to a multitude of causes. Al
cohol gives the disease more victims
than all else. Other causes are steam
heating devices, bad ventilation, and
tobacco smoke. The devitalized heat
of the steam pipes is most injurious to
the lungs. The action of the heat on
the iron coils sends off a deleterious
gas, which seriously impairs the lungs,
and renders the inhalation of cold air
positively dangerous. Tobacco smoke
dries up the mucus membrane of the
throat and air passages, and dispels
their healthy action. Alcohol dostroys
the power of the stomach, and so les
sens vitality that a simple “cold”
speedily becomes pneumonia. These
causes—added to t v e absurd custom of
bundling up the mroat while leaving
the feet nearly without protection—are
sufficient to account for the enormous
mortality from this disease.— Hall's
Journal of Health.
The Gamblers of Wall Street.
Wall street, so much derided by com
mon-place cities as the Devil’s exchange,
is at this moment a mirror of what is
taking place everywhere. Instead of a
dozen heroes in its pantheon, there is
but one—Jay Gould. He has nearly
broken Daniel Drew, the head of the
bears. Rufus Hatch, whose operations
with Michigan Southern stock in 1867
netted $2,185,000 has been exploded by
Gould, and has sailed for Europe.
Hemy Keep has been five years asleep
under a SIOO,OOO mausoleum, and bis
wife has found a husband for the $400,-
000 he left her in Judge Schley, of
Georgia. Vanderbilt no longer visits
the street, and his stocks hold their
high figure from the integrity of the
pan—that is, Vanderbilt will not permit
his own stocks to fall on his friends,
although the condition of the Lake
Shore railroad seems to be anything
but sound. Jim Fisk died the brawler’s
death he coveted. Horace Clark passed
away with the serenity he had lived. I
saw Leonard Jerome a few days ago
lunching in the park, passe and indif
ferent. He was the Sardanapalus of
the street, and under his domination
Pacific Mail sold at 329. With more
intelligence than any other broker, edu
oated at Prinoeton, he lost millions by
foolishly remaining up town at pleasure
on the day his company held its annual
meeting. He is now worth three-quar
ters of a million, which he husbands as
closely as he can and avoids the street.
Tom Durant dropped out of prominence
very much for the reasons which ex
hausted Jerome—pleasure and extrava
gance.
There are no such times at present
for rapid speculation as in the period of
the war and succeeding it. Dr. Shel
ton, the hermit operator, who used to
appear late in the autumn from his
country estate and carry 75,000 shares
at a time, bearing gold meanwhile, is
only a tradition now. Amasa Stone
and Alexander Mitchell, who are great
railway officials, send in their orders at
times, but have grown conservative.—

What is Loveliness?
It is not in pearl powder, nor in
golden hair-dye, nor in jewelry. It
cannot be got in a bottle or a box. It
is pleasant to be handsome; but all
beauty is not in prettiness. There is a
higher beauty that makes us love peo
ple tenderly. Eyes, nose, hair, or skin
never did that yet; though it is pleas
ing to see fine features. What you are
will make your face ever for you in the
end, whether nature has made it plain
or pretty. Good people are never ill
looking. Whatever their faces mav be,
an amiable expression atones for all.
If they can be cheerful also no one will
love them the less because their features
are not regular, or because they are too
fat, or too thin, too pale, or too dark
Cultivation of the mind adds another
charm to their faces, and, on the whole,
if any girl is desirous of being liked by
many and loved by the one, it is more
in her power than she may believe to
accomplish that object. Cosmetics will
not accomplish it, however. Neither
will fine dress, though a woman that
does not dress becomingly wrongs her
self. Forced smiles and affected amia
bility will be of no avail; but if she
can manage to feel kindly to everybody,
not to be jealous, not to be cross, to be
happy if possible, and to encourage
contentment, then something will come
into her face that will outlast youth’s
roses, and gain her not only a husband
but a life-long lover.
A witness in a lawsuit described the
poverty of a field of corn as follows :
The crop was so stunted and short that
the toads could sit on their haunches
and pick bugs off the tassels,
Are We a Humorous People ?
We have the opinion of an authority
as intelligent as the New York Times
for believing that there is no apprecia
tion of humor, and less liking for wit,
in America ; and this opinion is given
us at the moment when the Hon. S. S.
Cox, who is both a producer and a
judge of the staples in. question, is
discoursing in Harper’s Magazine as to
the richness and abundance of the
very qualities which our realistic critic
refuses to reoognize. Which of the
pundits is right? Have we wit or
- .mor, either, neither, or both, in this
country ? Are we a fun-loving people?
What is wit? What is humor? On
the whole we must think the journalist
to be in the wrong ; but we shall not,
on that account, remind him that he is
a wretched Briton; that he had the
misfortune to come into his existence
outside the circle of inspirations which
rally round the starry banner ; that, in
one word, he is so far removed from the
blessing of being a free-born American,
that he cannot tell a joke from a hole
in the ground, nor see the jests over
which he stumbles every day.
The truth is that every nationality
has its ttun for mirth, even the serious
Indian giving out tokens of a taste for
a grim humor peculiar to himself, and,
as wit and humor spring from condi
tions, that which may provoke the
mirth of one people may fall flint and
unlaughable upon the ear of another
people. Especially is this likely to
prove the case if there be a difference
of language; the jokes of the German
find little echo in France; the com
icality of the Levant would hardly pass
current in Texas. Pope’s couplet ap
plies to the estimation of wit main
tained in different countries:
“’Tis with onr judgments as our watches,
nans
Go just alike ; yet each believes his own.”
The Londoner, who finds the stupid
est things in “ Punch ” at least read
able, would go to sleep over Mr. Lin
coln’s best “yarns.” The Parisian
laughs until he cries at the drolleries
shot off nightly in the cafes of the
Champs Elysees and comsiders Mr.
Joshua Billings an ass. What would
the sober-suited Bedouin think of Mr.
Mark Anthony Twain’s lamentation
over the dead body of Adam, or the
Grand Llama of the Fat Contributor ?
We know that Mr. Artemus Ward
tickled the beef-eating Londoners ; but
how? In the first place he delivered a
funny lecture about the Mormons when
mormonism was an interesting question
in England; and, in the delivery of this,
he gave his audiences a genuine sur-
Erise by the union which he affected
etween a rude and native Yankee
humor and a most gentleman-like
Anglicized drawl, accent and manner.
He carried this dexterous trick into the
half-dozen papers whioh he contributed
to Punch, and with equal tuoaess.
There was thus a tie, a bond of affinity,
between him and those who heard and
read him, the man himself being in
reality half a Briton. Mark a contrast
furnished contemporaneously by the
absence of these qualities of comic alli
ance in the person of Mr. Arthur
Sketehly, a London humorist, who,
taking his cue from the success of Arte
mus in the British metropolis, came to
try his merriment on New York, and
failed most signally, because his jokes
had nothing cosmopolitan about them,
and, worst of all, because they had
nothing about them common to the
New Yorkers.
Mr. Toole’s equivocal experience may
be ascribed to the same cause. He is
an admirable artist—London’s very
best. An offspring of the Dicken’s school
of art, in which grotesque and exagger
ated farce is joined to exquisite pathos,
Mr. Toole may be fairly said to be the
most versatile, as he is the most viva
cious, comedian alive. “Just a look
at that Toole,” very truly observed the
young Lady of Gloster, “makes one
feel like splitting,” and so it is not
only in Gloster, but in Liverpool,
Manchester and Dublin, and all over
the provinces, as well as in London.
Quite another thing in America.
Here Mr. Toole’s grotesquerie passes
for over-doing, whilst many of his
neatest points fail for lack both of in
formation and sympathy in his audience.
Mr. Sothern’s Dundreary goes down
with us, because our own sham social
organism, even more than English
fiction and caricature, has made us
familiar with the brainless dandy of
fashionable life, and thus an exceeding
broad extravaganza, being understood,
is applauded. Mr. Toole, however, in
Broadway has scarcely as good a show
as Col, Sellers would have in the
Strand, for, whilst Seller’s outre char
acteristics might carry him along in
spite of his unmeaning references and
his outlandish jargon, Mr. Toole has
still to rely upon his art, pure and
simple.
Thus we see how absurd it is to
measure the wit or humor of one
people by the standards which prevail
with another people. The New York
Times is certainly at fault in this mat
ter. The humor of Rabelais is univer
sal, because it springs out of the well
of human nature, whereby it is alßo
coarse and vulgar ; and yet Rabelais is
going out of vogue. The humor of
Dickens is kept alive by his plot and
pathos, to which indeed, more than to
his humor, he is indebted for his vogue
outside his native conntry. Even the
humor of Cervantes, world-embracing,
is obsolete ; whilst Butler is rarely read
at all. Indeed, neither wit nor humor
can stand alone for a long time. If
they be not an emanation of their
country and their time, they will only
live in a desultory way, handed down in
fragments from age to age, and tam
pered with as freely as though they were
legends of loose women. Purge the
world’s book of fun of its profanity
and its smut, and how mueh would be
left of it ? The most successful jokes
are generally the rudest, and for the
reason not merely that they are forbid
den, which, indeed, is but a poor reason
for their popularity, but that .they
contribute the most whimsical incon-
gruities and the extremest contrasts to
surprise onr risibles and compel us to
laugh. Nor is their indecency so ob
jectionable as it is often represented to
be; for that cannot be said to be wholly
bad which draws men together by the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin, causing them to be merry,
to be generous one with another, to
digest, in short, as the old saying has
it, “to laugh and grow fat.” There is
such a thing as attenuating decency
into a lewed hint; and we are not to
think it our duty to make too much ado
about a dung-heap. The most refined
people are often the least moral, jnst
as the severest virtue is come up with
among the plainest folk.
As for our American humor, rough
as it is, it is not nearly bo smutty as
the English, nor so witily immoral as the
French, at the same time that it is racy
of the soil, quaint and characteristic.
Uncultured it most surely is ; and very
primitive and provincial ; more inde
pendent, however, of classic inspiration
and foreign models, we venture to think,
than that of our ootemporaries. It is
the one thing in American literature
which may be claimed as purely original,
which moves ns to wonder bow it oould
be brought to the sudden halt called
by the New York Times, when that
journal assigns the failure of a weak
imitation like “Vanity Fair” not
alone to the absenoe of native wit and
humor, but to a thorough inapprecia
tion of both. —Louisville Courier-Jour
nal.
Bridging The British Channel.—
The Bulletin Franeais states that the
directors of the channel bridge com
pany have just ordered the construc-
tion of an arch 1,000 metres in length
for the purpose of proving the feasil
bility of the scheme of M. Botlet, ergi
neer, at Bourges, of throwing a bridge
across the Straits of Dover. A model
of this bridge, consisting of a road for
vehicles and foot passengers, will prob
ably be erected in the Bois de Bologne
or Champe de Mars, at a height of fif
teen metres above the ground. The
directors maintain that, whereas the
tunnel would take eight years and cost
at least 25,000,000 francs, the bridge
could be erected in a few months at an
expense of only 600,000 francs.
The Poet’s Mina and Mood,
We were lately trying to discover the
qualities which made a literary work a
part of literature, and sincerity was
named as perhaps the most important
quality. Sincerity is a great matter,
but is it the principal thiDg ? Is not
the principal thing, after all, the mind
and mood of the writer ? At first this
will seem a trite enough statement, but
a very good argument can be made for
mere style.
We have all been struck at this phe
nomenon ; we are profoundly impressed
by a passage we have read, and, after
some time, we turn back to read it onoe
more, when, instead of fir ding at least
half a page of print, as we had ex
pected, we find only two or three linos.
There is another allied phenomenon—
a single line or passage, in a poem, or
an entire poem of but a few lines, ob
tains great currency, and is constantly
praised for its charm. You cannot tell
what gives it such fascination; what
keeps it so fresh in your own mind, and
in the minds of all cultivated people.
have seen other passages and po
kems by obscure writers, which appeared
at first to have more thought and orig
inality. Your amateur friend has, in
moments of confidence, read to you his
“Ode to the Inscrutable.” Some of
the lines were really Wordsworthian,
not to say Miltonic ! Nothing, indeed,
is more common in amateur verse-mak
ing, of a certain kind, than lines wbicn
remind you of Shakspeare, when read
aloud by tbeir authors. But, somehow,
when the verses get into print, the world
is not moved by them, and you confess
that type has a queer effect on poetry,
and that it is never safe to commit
yourself critically until you “get the
poem into your own hands.”
So it happens that the simple phrase
which the great poet himself set little
v alue upon, and which seemed to him
a miserably inadequate statement of
bis thought.—the phrase, the poem,
comes, with light in its garments, from
a high and pure mind, from a golden
and immortal mood.— Scribner.

Longevity.— There are frequent and
remarkable instances of longevity
among the Russians. A man born in
1760 has just died. He was six feet
five inches in height, and was possessed
of immense strength up to the time of
his death, which resulted from a fall.
Another man born in the same year is
still living. Among the notabilities at
court are a number of octogenarians,
and one lady, a nonagenarian, who
reads without spectacles, and walks
without a stick. Her eyesight must
always have been remarkable, as the
Russian alphabet looks as if it were
drunk, and must be a hard thing to
keep the run of.
After Marriage. —A philosopher
writes: “Thegirl is generally educated
on novels, and her first disappointment
comes in on the quiet indifference of the
husband after the honeymoon. ‘You
love me no longer,’ said a bride of a
few months to her better half in his
gown and slippers.’ ‘Why do you say
that, Puss?’ he asked quietly, removing
a cigar from his lips. ‘You do not ca
ress me nor call me pet names; you no
longer seek so anxiously for my com
pany,’ wai the tearful answer. My
dear,’ continued the aggravating wretch,
‘did you ever notice a man running
after a car? How he does run—over
stones, through mud, regardless of
everything till he reaches the car
aud he seizes hold and swings od.
Then he quietly seats himself
and reads his paper.’ ‘And what
does that mean?’ ‘An illustration,
my dear.’ The car is as import
ant to the man after he gets in as when
he is chasing it, but the manifestation
is no longer called for. I would have
shot any one who put himself in my
way when in pursuit of you, as I would
now shoot any one who would come be
tween us, but as a proof of my love you
insist upon my running after the car.
Learn to smoke, my dear, and be a phil
osopher. The two combined clear the
brain, quiet the nerves, open the pores,
and improve the digestion.
The \ alue of Health.-—Horace
Mann says somewhere: I am oertain I
could have performed twice the labor,
both better and with greater ease to
myself, had I known as much of the laws
of health and life at twenty-one as I do
now. In oollege I was taught all about
the motions of the planets, as carefully
as though they would have been in dan
ger of getting off the track if I had not
known how to trace their orbits; but
about my own organization an ♦ the con
ditions indispensable to the healthful
functions of my own body, I was left
in profound ignorance. Nothing could
be more preposterous. I ought to have
begun at home, and taken the stars
when it should come their turn. The
consequence was, I broke down at the
beginning of my second college year,
and have never had a well day since.
Whatever labor I have since been able
to do, I have done it all on credit
instead of capital—a most ruinous way,
either in regard to health or money.
For the last twenty-five years, so far
as it regards health, I have been put
from day to day, on my good behavior;
and during the whole of this period, as
an Hibernian would say, if I had lived
as other folks do for a month, I should
have died in a fortnight.
Whatever there is of terrible, what
ever there is of beautiful in human
events, all that shakes the soul to and
fro and is remembered while thought
and flesh cling together, all these have
their origin from the passions. As it is
only in storms, and when their coming
water is driven up into the air, that we
catch a sight of the depths of the sea,
it is only in the season of perturbation
that we have a glimpse of the real in
ternal nature of man. It is then only
that the might of these eruptions, shak
ing his frame, dissipate all the feeble
coverings of opinion, and rend in pieces
that cob-web veil with which fashion
bides the feeling of the heart. —Sidney
Smith.
There could scarcely be better evi
dence of the extraordinary excellence of
the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs
than the fact that they are so largely
exported to Europe, where they are so
highly appreciated as to find large sales
in competition with instalments made
there b/ labor which does not cost half
as much. These are the only American
orsaua largely exported. *
A Dangerous Cradle.
Here is & trn* duck story : One of
the wild ducks that usually swim in the
pond near my pulpit had it from an
elder duck who has seen the cradle.
Away off at the north of the north
coast of Scotland are the Shetland Isl
ands ; so steep, cold, barren and lonely
that flocks of seabirds go there at oer
tain seasons of the year to build their
nests and lay their eggs, thinking that
they will not foe disturbed in such a
place. But the eggs have their value ;
so the few and poor inhabitants of the
bleak and rocky islands are willing to
descend the most dreadful precipices
and climb the most difficult heights to
find them.
Near the coast, of one of the islands,
but separated from it by a tempestuous
channel, stands a very high and nearly
perpendicular pillar of rock. Here, on
this steep and desolate height, the sea
birds come in great numbers year after
year ; but at last a man, who could
climb even more dreadful precipices
than the hardiest Shetlanders would
dare to scale, went in a boat to the foot
of the rock, and climbed its steep sides,
carrying with him a pully and a very
strong rope, one end of which was al
ready fastened on the highest point of a
neighboring island on the side nearest
the pillar. Arriving, after much toil
and danger, at the summit of the pil
lar, tho man managed to get the rope
through the handles of a stout basket,
and then fastened the pulley to the
rock. Here, then, was a way by which
the islanders could get over to the pil
lar. By getting one at a time into the
basket, and swinging at this dizzy
height over the foaming channel, the
islanders could pull themselves across
by means of the rope and pulley to ob
tain the eggs. —tSU Nicholas.
Two Hundbf.d Horses Killed bz
Buffalo Gnats,, —On last Sunday the
buffalo gnats mitde their appearance in
this and Clayton counties, also in Dunk
lin county, Mo., in such vast swarms as
to prove very destructive to stock. We
were at Clarkton, Mo., at the time they
made their appearance, and on our way
home the sight of dead horses and
mules along the road, and the report of
others off the road, was distressing in
the highest degree. We have made an
estimate as best we oould from the vari
ous reports we received on our way
home Tuesday, and think the number
of horses and mules that have been
destroyed within two miles of the road
leading to Chalk Bluff, from that place
to within eight miles of Gainesville, will
reach 175 or 200 while the number in and
around Gainesville will add at least 25 or
30 more to the number. We have no
| report from below, but hope it is not so
bad in that direction. A great many
farmers have lost all their plow stock,
while many others have not enough left
to cultivate their farms. This sad dis
pensation, added to the destitution that
existed before, has cast a heavy gloom
over our people. —Gainesville (Ark.)
Times.
Poor Man’s Pudding. —One cup or
measure of butter, one cup of molasses,
one cap of sour milk, three or four cup
fuls of flour, one of stewed fruit—ap
ples or peaches—and from three to six
eggs. In mixing, add a teaspoonful of
dissolved soda, boil for two hours in a
mold, and serve with butter and sugar
sauce.
When any Antidote or remedy for
any particular class of disease obtains
a wide-spreading notoriety, it is but
reasonable to suppose that it must
merit the popularity it receives. It is
within our province to mention that Dr.
J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters,
so long and favorable known as the
safest and most reliable remedial agent
for the cure of liver, kidney, bladder,
and glandular diseases, mental and
physical debility, and all complaints
emanating from a corrupt state of the
blood, etc., are in great demand. So
satisfied are we of the intrinsic worth
of this medicine, that we do not hesi
tate to notice it in our columns. It is
well to mention that this medicine is
compounded of roots, herbs, and flow
ers of California, and has no fiery ma
terial or aloohol used in its prepara
tion. We can add no better eulogium
than the fact that we use it constantly
in our own family, acd each member
thereof partakes of it, when necessary,
according to directions. —New York
Paper.
Dr. Plerca’a Favorite Prescription.
is very strongly recommended by tho Medical
Faculty and is largely prescribed among their
female patients. It, is worthy of all confidence,
as may be seen form the following testimonials;
Dr.G.B. Chapman, Plaltsmouth, Neb.,writes:
I have under treatment a lady, who, for the past
seven years has been afflicted, and, after trying
several physicians without receiving benefit, is
gaining rapidly on your Favorite Prescription.
Atlanta 111
Dr. R .V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., Dear Sir—l
have not words to express my gratitude to you
for your advice and assistance in my case. There
is not one who has used your medicines since
they have been brought here, but that can say
with me they have been greatly benefited. Since
I have been so helped by its use, six or seven
around me left off all doctors and other medi
cines. and now use it in their families, after be
ing cured of the same disease as mine. You do
not know what a wonder it created in our city,
by its restoring my Bißter I wrote you about, for
she had been under the care of three of our best
doctors, but could not sit up but for a few min
utes at one time. I begged of her to try your
medicines, and before she had used half the bot
tles she could go all a,round the yard, and has now
just come home from a vipit five miles away.
Mrs. Thor. McFarland.

Diseased Lungs are Greatly on the
Inckkase in this Country. The sudden
changing of weather has done much to give
rise to Consumption. But thousands bring it
on by their own impmdenoe, such as wearing
damp clothing and going from the warm room
into the cold air and checking the perspira
tion, which causes irritation of the Lungs,
and then matter or phlegm will collect, which
nature will try to relieve by coughing. If
ture does not raise the matter with ease, and
stop this inflammation, tubercles will toon
form and consumption will soon follow. Al
len's Lung Balsam will cure consumption if it
is only taken in time.

NICHOLS, SHEPARD & CO.’S
“MM” MSB,
The BRILLIANT SUCCESS of this Grain-
Savins, Time-Savins THRESHER, Li
unprecedented in the annals of Farm Machinery.
In a brief period it has become widely knowi
and FULLY ESTABLISHED, as the
“LEADING THRESHING MACHINE.’
Gftin BIISUU BKVDIK to submit
to the wasteful and imperfect work of other
Threshers, when posted on the vast superiority
of this one, for saving grain, saving time, and
doing fast, thorough and economical work.
THRESHERMEN FIND IT highly advantageous to
run a machine that has no “Beaters,” "Pickers,"
or “ Apron," that handles Damp Grain, Lor*
Straw, Headings, Flax, Timothy, Nlillett and all
such difficult grain and seeds, with ENTIRB
EASE AND EFFECTIVENESS. Cleans
to perfection ; saves the farmer liis thresh bill
by extra saving of grain; makes no “ Litter
ings;” requires LESS THAN ONE-HALF the usual
Belts, Boxes, Journals, and Gears; easier man
