A Mean Advantage. There were a score or more of women gathered together at Mr. Johnson's House. Mr. Johnson is a good lieaited man and a res spectable citizen, though lie is rather skeptical about some tilings. The women bad just organized ‘The Foreign Benevolent Societywhen Mr, Johnson entered the room. He was at once appealed to to denote a few dollars as a foundation to work on, and Mrs. Graham added: ‘lt would be so pleasant in after years for you to remember that yon gave this society its first dol lar and its first kind word.’ lie slowly opened bis wallet,drew out a ten dollar note, ami as the ladies smacked their lips and clap ped their hands, he asked: Is this society organized to aid the poor of foreign countries V ‘Yes—yes—yes!’ they chorused ‘And it wants money?’ ‘Yes—yes!’ ‘Well, now,’ said Johnson, as lie folded the bill in a tempting shape, ‘there are twenty married women bore. If there are fifteen of you who can make oath that you have combed your children’s hair this morning, washed the dishes, black ed the cook stove, and made the beds, I’ll donate this ten dollarb.’ ‘I have,’ answered two of the crowd, and the rest said: ‘Why, now, Mr. Johnson!’ ‘II fifteen of you can make oath that your husbands are not wearing socks with holes in the heels, tins money is yours,’ continued the wietob. ‘Just hear him!’ they exclaimed each one looking at the other. If ten of you have boys without holes in the knees of their pants, this‘X’ goes to the society!’ said Johnson. ‘Such a man I’ the whispered. ‘lf there arafive pair of stockings in Uiis room that don’t need darn ing, I’ll hand over tho money!’ he went on. ‘Mr. Johnson,’said Mrs. Gralinm, ■with great dignity, the rules of this society declare that no money shall be contributed except by members; and as you are not a member, I bog that you wiU withdraw and let us proceed with the routine business. Signs and Omens. —An old gen tleman,whose style was Germanized, was asked what he thought of signs and omens. “Veil, I don’t link mooch of dem dings, und I didn’t pelievc cvcry dingp; but I dells you sometimes dere is tings as does tings. Now dc Oder night I sits and reads mine newspaper, and mine frail she speak and say: ‘Fritz, dc dog is howling.’ ‘Yell, I don’t diriks mooch of dem dings, und 1 goes on uud reads mine paper, und mine frau she say: ‘Fiitz, dpre ia somedings pad is happened—dat dog ish howling!’ ‘Und den I gits up mit mineself und looks out froo de wines on de porch, und de moon vas shinin’, und mine leetle dog he slioomp right up und down like eberydings, und he paik at de moon, dat vas shine so bright as never vasli. Und ash I hauld mp hod in de viuder.de old voman she say : ‘Miud, Fritz, I dell you dere ish BOtncding pad ish happen. De dog ish howling!’ ‘Veil, I goes to pet,und I shleeps, wnd all night long ven I vakes dere vas dat dog howling verser as ever, Und in de morning I kits mine preakfast,uml mine frau she looks at me and say wery solemn : ‘Fritz, dere ish somedings pad ish happen. De dog vas howl all night.’ ‘Und shoost den the noosepaper come in, und I opens him—und by sbing, vat you dinks! dere vas a man died in Philadelphia!’ Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed to work. Work for the best wages you can get, but work for half prico rather than be idle, He your own master, and do not let fashion or society swallow up your individ uality—hat, coat and boots. Com pel your selfish body to spare some thing for profits saved. He stingy to your necessities. Sec that you are proud, and let your pride be of the right kind. Ho too proud to be ; lazy. Diver Complaint. By R, V. Pierce, M. I)., of the j World’s Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y., author of “The People's Com mon Sense Medical Adviser,"etc., etc. The Liver is the great depurating (purifying) organ of the system, I and has very appropriately been termed the “housekeeper’’ of our ’ health. I have observed in the dissecting-room, and also in mak ing post-mortem examinations of the bodies of those who have died of different diseases, that in a large proportion of cases, the liver has given evidence of having, at some time, beeu diseased. Liver affec lions are equally prevalent in beasts. Every butcher knows that the livers of cattle, sheep and swine, are ten times as frequently diseased as any other organ. A healthy liver each day secretes about two and a half pounds of bile. When it be comes torpid, congested, or if, from any cause, it be disabled in the per foi mmice of its duties, it is evident that the elements of the bile must remain in the blood, thus irritating^ | poisoning, and pet vet ting every vital process. Nature attempts to rid the system of these noxious ma terials by means of other organs, as the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc., which become overtaxed in perform ing their additional labor, and are unable to withstand the pressure. The brain, which i 3 the great electrical centre of all vitality, be comes overstimulated with unhealthy blood, and fails to normally perform its functions. Hence there is dull ness, headache impairment of the memory, dizziness, gloomy forebod ings, and irritability of temper. When the blood is diseased, the skin manifests discolored spots, pimples, blotches, boils, carbuncles, and scrofulous tumors. The stom ach and bowels, sooner or later, become affected, and constipation, piles, dropsyq dyspepsia, oi diar rhoea, is die inevitable result. SYMPTOMS OF UVER COMPLAINT. A sallow color of the skin, or yellowish-brown spots on the fact? and other parts of the body; dull ness and drowsiness, with frequent headache; dizziness, bitter or had taste iu the mouth, dryness of the throat, and internal heat; palpita tion of tho heart, a dry, teasing cough, solo throat, unsteady appe tite, sour stomach, raising of the food, and a choking sensation in the throat; sickness and vomiting, distress, heaviness, and a bloated, or full feeling about the stomach I and side*; aggravating pains in the sides, hacK, or bieast, and about the ) shoulders; collie pains and a sore- I ness through the bowels ; constipa tion, alternating with diairhoea,piles, flatulence, nervousness, coldness of the extremities, rush of blood to the head with symptoms of apo plexy ; numbness of the limbs (espe cially at night), and chills, alternat ing with hot flashes; kidney and oilier urinary difficulties, dulnesa, low’ spirits,and gloomy forebodings. Only a few of these symptoms will be likely to he present in any case at one time. Treatment. —Take Dr, Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, with small doses of bis Pleasant Purga tive Pellets, which act as an alter ative on the liver. For liver coin' plaint and the various affections caused by a diseased liver, these remedies are unsurpassed. The Gol den Medical Discovery does not simply palliate the disease, but it produces a lasting effect. By its use the liver and stomach are changed to an active, healthy state, the ap petite is regulated, the blood puri fied and enriched, and the entire system renovated and restored to health. The Discovery is sold by drug gists. 11. V. Pierce, M. IV, Pro prietor, Woild’s Dispensary,Buffalo, N. Y.— Adv. A Concentrated Jury. —ln a land case being tried in San Anto nio, the jury having been dispensed with, his honor acts as judge and jury both. To have a single man acting for twelve seems very simple, but it is bewildering to the deputy sheriff',who has been attending juries for a long time. One morning, for instance, he looked fixedly at his honor, anj after counting him several timss, inquired: ‘Where is the rest of you?’ ‘When court adjourncd.the sheriff said rather sternly, we thought, to his honor: ‘Now, don’t you go talking about this case among yourselves, and all of you boys be on lianJ prom ptly, or I’ll hunt some of you up in a way that you won’t like.’ T A K E SIMMONS’LIVER REG’LATOR For all Diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Spleen, WILL CURE DYSrEPSIA. I MUST OWN that your Simmons’ Liver Regulator fully deserves the popularity it has attained. Asa family med icine it has no equal.

MALARIOUS FE VERS, You are at liberty to use my name in praise of your Regulator as prepared by you, and recommend it to every one us the best preventive of Fever and Ague in the world. I plant in Southwestern Georgia, near Albany, Georgia, and must say that it has done more good on my plantation, among my negroes, than any medicine I ever used; it supersedes Qui nine if taken in time. Yours, &c., Hon. I). 11. Hili., Ga. CHILDREN. Your Regulator is superior to any other remedy for Malarial Dis eases among children, and it has a large sale in this section of Geoigia.—W, M. Russell, Albany, Ga. C ON STIR A TION, TESTIMONY OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF GEORGIA.—I have used Simmons’ Regulator for constipation of my bowels, caused by a temporary derangement of the liver, for the lust three or four years.and always when used according to the directions, with decided benefit I think it is a good med’cine for the derangement of the liver—at least such has been niy personal experience in the use of it. Hiram Warnkr, Chief Justice of Georgia. SICK HEADACHE, EDITORIA L.—We have tested its virtues, personally,and know that for Dyspepsia, Billiousness. and Throbbing Headache, it is the best medicine the world ever saw. We have tried forty other rem edies bi'fore Simmons’ Liver Regulator,but none of them gave us more than temporary relief; but the Regulator not only relieved, but cured us. Ed. Telegraph and Messenger, Macon, Ga. Having had during the last twenty voais of my life to attend to Racing Stock, and having had so much trouble with them with Colic. Grubbs. Ac..gave nteja great deal of trouble; having heard of your Regulator as a cure for the above diseases I concluded to try it alter trying one package in Mash I found it to cure in every instance, it is only to be tried to prove what I have said in its praise 1 can send yon certificates from Augusta, Clinton and Macon, as to the cure of Horse.

Chufas and Japan Peas, The introduction of these crops throughout the South will enable us to keep our stock and fill our smoke houses as cheaply as it can be done at the West. The Chula is planted in a ridge like po tuloes, yields on common land 200 bush els per acre of the richest feed, eneqnalcd lor fattening hogs, poultry—and children. One acre will fatten more hogs than the best corn, besides furnishing grazing all summer. For the truth of these claims we refer to U. S. Commissioner of Agri culture, Washington, or to any agricul tural paper in the South. Price, by mail, postage paid, 20c a pxekage, 40c a pint, 76c a quart by express §4 a peck, 815 a bushel. The Japan pea fully established its merits several years ago, and is now in universal demand. It grows upright like a cotton stalk, is cultivated like corn, and yields from 150 to 800 bush els on acre on ordinary land, Stock of ail kinds relish it and thrive highly on it without other feed. Also excellent for table ase (after boiling about a week.) Price by,mail, postage paid, 15c a pack age. 30c a pint, 50c a quart. By ex press. 83 ;>er pack, 810 per bushel. These seeds are so scarce and costly that we cannot make any discount to wholesale dealers and grangers. When Southern planters grow their own stock-leedland fatten their own hogs, we shall hear no more of hard times and “middle men" for this will put an end to both. If you fear to invest largely, it will cost but a trifle to try these seeds, and unless your experience differs from all others, you will be forever thuukfui for the trial. Address. A. F.
