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

und mine leetle dog he slioomp

und he paik at de moon, dat vas

‘Veil, I goes to pet,und I shleeps,

Und in de morning I kits mine

‘Und shoost den the noosepaper

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

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.’

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.

CHILDREN. Your
Regulator is superior to any
other remedy for Malarial Dis
eases among children, and it has

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.

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.
