Yegktine is made exclusively from the juices ol cureiudy selected funks, roots and herbs; and so strongly concentrated that it will effectually eradicate from the system every ta el of Scrofula, Scrofu lous Humor, Tumors, Cancers, Cancer ous Humor. Krysipleas, Suit Rheum, Syphilitic Diseases, Canker. Faintness at the Stomach, and all dtsea-es that arise from impure blood. Sciatica, In flammafnyl and Chronic Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Gout and Spinal Complaints can only be effectually cured through the bioi d For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of the Skin, Pustules, Pimples, Blotches; Boils, Tetter,Seuid head and Ring-worm Vbuktink has never tailed to effect a pei manetil cure. For Pams in the Back, Kidney com p'nints, Dropsy, Female Weakness, ; Ceucorr oei, arising from internal nicer -1 alien, and uterine diseases and General | Debility; \ kontink acts directly upon the causes oi these complaints. It invig j orates and strengthens toe whole system; acts upon the secretive organs, allays j inflammation; cures ulceration and regu ( lutes the bowels. For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Costiveness, Palpitation of the Heart, Headache, Piles, Nervousness and Gen eral Prostration of the nervous System, no medicine has given such perfect satis faction as the Vkgkiink. It purifies the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and possesses a controlling power over the uervous system. The remarkable cures effected by Veg etine have induced many physicians and apothecaries whom we kuow to prescribe and use it hi their own lamilies. In tact Vigetine is the best remedy yet discovered for the above diseases, and is the only reliable Blood Purifier yet p-aceu before the public. THE BEST EVIDENCE. The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, Pastor oi M.E Church, Natick, Muss, will be read with interest by inanv physicians. Also, those suffering Irom the same disease us afifli :ted the son ot the Rev, K. S. Best. No person can doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about the curative powers of Vegetiue: Natick, Mass., Jan. 1,1874. Mr. H. R Stevens: Dear Sir—We have good reasons for regarding your Vegetine a medicine of the greatest value We feed assured it has been the means of saving our son’s life, He is now seven teen years of age, lor the iast two years he has suffered Irom necrosis of bis leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was so lar reduced that nearly all who saw him thought his recovery impossible. A council ol able physicians could give us but the faintest hope of his ever rallying, two oi the number declaring that he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that even amputation could not save him, us l>e had hot vigor enough to en dure the operation Just tlien we com menced giving him Vegetine and from that time to 1 lie present he lias been con tinuously improving. He I>u3 lately re sumed his studies, thrown away his crutches and cane,and walks about cheer fully and strong. Though there is still some discharge from tiie opening where the limb was lanced.we have the lullest confidence that in a little time lie will be perfectly cured, lie Ims taken alarnt three dozen bot tles ol Vegetine, but lately uses but lit tle as he d. clar s that he is too weil to be taking medicine. Respectfully yours, K S. BEST. MILS. L. G. F. BEST All Diseases of the Blood. II Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purity and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health alter trying different physicians, many remedies; suf fering for years, is it not conclusive prool if you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine perlorming sueli great cures? It worts in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It cun truly be called the Great- Blood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood, and no medicine that does not act directly upou it, to purity ami reuo vule, bus any ju»t claim upon public at tention. Recommend It Heartily. South 80-ton, Fen 7. 1870. Mr. Stkvkns: Dear teir—l have taken several lioities of your Vegetine, and am convinced it is a valuable remedy for Dyspepsia, Kidney Complaint, and gen eral debility. 1 can heartily recommend it to all suffering from the above complaints.

Find a Way or Make One. BY UNCI.K TOMi To get the cocoanut’s rich meat, The shell is hard —so break it; The fragrant leaf its odors holds Until you bruise or shake it, A mountain far too steep to climb; Well, then, don’t try and do it: Yon may be able to go round, Or patiently dig through it. A knee you say, bu! ne’er a gate: What can you do? you wonder, Just scale the wall, mount if you can, And if you can't, crawl under! Your way is muddy? Wait awhile, Let wind and sunshine dry it, Still, wait not for another rain To see some comrade try it. A river deep, yon ennnot swim? No steamer there, you know it? Well, if there is no other way, Build your own boat and row it. Go down, and you II have many a kick, Go up, and -ome will push you; But win your way, and praise will come From those who tried to crush you. Don’t hide your talent through a fear, But bravely go and stake it it. Wear out, don’t rust—to reach your goal Lad, find a way, or make it. How a Blonde Baby Recent ly Missed a Fortune. A girl baby missed a fortune at New York Tuesday by a chance which she will mourn when she grows up Her mother, a brawny Irish woman, took the seven months old child in her anna on a hunt for a job of floor Scrubbing. At the Pennsylvania Railroad office.a "fine gentleman” asked to lake the blue eyed, golden-haired little thing, and seemed to lose his wits over it But when the mother had finished her errand both mm and child were missing. The police and the weep* ing mother hunted unsuccessfully till dark, with the slender clew that the man had bought a ticket for Mobile. But on returning to the Central station the stranger was found, lie gave his name as Dr Easton, of New Orleanes. lie has a wife and six children who were then with him at New York; but unfortunately all his offspring were brunetts and he had a passion that was almost a mania for blue eyed babies When lie saw this one and thought the mother wanted to get rid of it because of her poverty, he lost his senses with delight, and catried it in his arms to his hotel, hugging and kissing it on the way. to the amazement of passers-by. lie again legged the mother to give it to him, but she hastened to the hotel, found her darling washed and richly dressed, and took it back to its native dirt and rags, leaving the disc)iis))late doctor bemoaning a fate that gave him black eyed cliiN dren.

One or two of his re* cent acts has added to their anxiety. Two weeks ago, on a very cold day, Mr. Tildeu anayed himself in a summer suit of clothing, iticlud ng a white vest. Then he ordered his (avorile new ma>, .; ly:ought to the door, and, mounting her, he turned her toward the Bowery, fie hut toned the bottom button only of his vest and allowed the upper part of his garment to spread wide open. He walked the rnaie and sat very straight injihe saddle as the marelais urely went down the thorough lain.

There was once a very clever and learned gentleman, but an infidel, who wnt traveling among the moun'sins of Wales. He came to a roadside cottage in a lonely, lovely spot, and, as he was very tired and thirsty, stoppo 1 to a»k lot a iliink of WHter, It was a little girl bespoke to, sitting at the cot (nge door with a book on her knee. She instantly rose and said : •Will you have a cup of milk, air, for you are hot, ami the cold water might hurt you?’ He whs very mn.di pleased with her kindness, and thought he would like a little chat with her, So when she cante out with the milk,he said: •I sec yon aie getting your lesson there, my dear.’ ‘No, sir,’ she answered, ‘I am only reading.’ ‘Win', what hook!’ ‘ The Bihle, hir.’ ‘What,’ said he , half smiling to himself, as he gave hack, ‘do you like that hook, then?' Fora moment tlie little maiden did not answer for surprise; then, lifting her bright eyes to his face, she said : ‘Why sir, I thought that every one loved the Bible.’ 'The genth-man hade the ehild good -hve and slowly rode along. No one knew what he was think ing of then; hut years after when ha had become a true and humble Christian, he used to tell of that little Welsh girl, and say : ‘And I too, now that I under stand what the Bihle is, am almost as ready to wonder at my question as she was. for every out) who really knows it must surely love it, loo.’ Noble I.ives.

There are those whose loving mission Tis to bind the bleeding heart; And to teach the kind submission A here great pain and sorrow smart- There are angels bearing to us i/ive's rich ministry of peace; While the night is nearing to us, And life's bitter trials cease. There are those who buttle slander, Envy, jealousy and hale; Who would rather die than pander To the passions of earth's great; No mere, earthly power can crush them They 'head not the tyrant's Irown: Neither fear nor favor hush them, Never bind their spirits down, As Bad as Burning—The ll : n** doo widow, though no longer burnt on the fitpeial pyre of her husband,is subjected to a process for the rest of Iter life which may sometime! cause her t> doubt whether her latter state is really any better than that which British law terminated.

Perfec t Faith John B. Gongh related the fol lowing pathetic episode in a lec ture at St. Louis recently : A story was told of a atreet hoy in London who had had both legs broken by a dray parsing over them. He wan laid away iu one of the hospitals to die, and another little etvature of the same class wa* laid near by, picked up with famine fever. Ihu latter was allowed to lie down by lire side of tho little crushed boy. lie crept up to him and said : •Bobby, did you never hear about Jeon ?’ ‘No, I never heard of him." ‘Bobby, I went to mission school once, and they told u* lli.il Jesus would take you to heaven when you died,and you’ll never have hun ger any more, and no moie pain, if you axed him.” ‘I couldn’t ax such a great gen tleman ns he is to do anything for me. lie wouldn't stop to speak to a hoy like me,” ‘Bill he’ll do all that if you ax him.’ ‘llow can f nx him if I don't know where ho lives, and how could I get there when both my legs ate broken?" ‘Bobby, they told me at mission school as how Jesus passed by* Teacher says as he gi*es around. How do you know hut what he might come aroun I to this hospital this very night?’ You’d know him if yon was to see him.” ‘But I can’t keep my eye* open. My legs feel so awful bad. Ductot says I’ll die.’* •Bobby, hold up your ban I, and he’ll know what you want when he passes by.” ‘They got the hand np. It dropp ed, Tiied again. It slowly foil back. Three times he got np the little hand, only to let it fall. Burst ing into teats, he said; ‘I give it up.” ‘Bobby lend me yer hand, put yer dhow on my pil'er, I can do without it.’ So one hand was propped up. And when they came in tbe morn ing the boy lay dead hi* hand still propped up for Jeans.

Emigration to the State of Mich igan was so greet during the years 1835—0 that every house was till ed every night with travelers want ing lodging.

The bur-keeper told h m lie could, mdess they should he so full as to render it necessary to put another in with him, At an early hour the reverened gentleman went to Ilia room, luck'd the door, and so n retired to hit l ed, and sank into a com for i able sleep. Along about midnight he was aroused horn IPs slumbers by a loud knocking at the door. ‘Hall •! you there,' lie exclaimed, ‘what d » you want nowf —particn* lor stress on the last word, 'You mu«t take in another lodger, air, with you,' said the voice of the j landlord.
