They arc a Gent la Purgative n» well as a Tonic, possessing also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam mation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.

' I have a story to tell my little readers, of a little hero, which is ev ery word of it true. A hero is a brave man—a man lull of spirit, zeal, and courage. Any man who has courage and spirit to do right, to tel 1 the truth, even if it is against himself; to be honest when he could make money by cheating ; to be tiue when lie is tempted to he false, is a hero. A little hero is a boy *of just this character. The story I have to tell you is about just such a boy.— About six years ago I knew hitn first. Ho was a small boy from some country in Europe. His birth place I did not learn. He had come to this country and was left alone, or nearly alone, in St. Louis. He had no money, and only Ihe dirtiest and raggeuesi clothes. He could speak our language only poorly.— He walked the streets in search of something to do. At length a kind hearted grocery man took him in.— It was here I first saw him. He was studying an English spelling book at every odd moment he could get from his work. A few months afterward he came to my house to recite les sons in the evening, which he would get through the night and day al snatched moments, all the while sav ing every cent he could from his small earnings, to go to a commer cial college as soon as he was old enough. When he had saved sixty dollars he applied, and was admit ted to the college, and went through the course. As soon out, he got a good situation in an insurance office. To this was soon added the treas urer’s duties, with a handsome in crease of salary. His faithfulness, and ability soon won him a place in a bank, ala salary of fifteen hun dred dollars a year. Ina bank he still is—a boy yet, I should think, not twenty years old. This is what I call being a hero. For a little boy in a strange city, and among people speaking a strange language, with all kinds of wicked ness around him, to clothe, educate, and keep himself; to resist the idle ness, play-games, drink, folly,sight seeing, rudeness, coarseness, vice, and wickedness which lead thous ands to ruin; without advisers, friends, or help ; and so grew up in purity, virture, and nobleness of soul, to be an honorable, intelligent, and useful man, is h degree of hero ism seldom found. If he is not a hero, where can one be found ? If his boyhood is so noble, what will his manhood be ? Sro:t and Book Borrowers. —Mr. Mackenzie, in his “Life of Scott,” described a novel and happy plan used by the novelist to prevent the loss of his books. Whenever he lent a book, he look a piece of wood of the exact size of the volume; pas ted on one of the edges a slip of paper on which were written the title of the book, borrower’s name and place of abode, date of lending, and day on which it ought to be relumed; and put this upon the shelf in the place whence the work had been removed; and there stood a record and a reminder until the volume was relumed. Live Within Your I£ear.s, We don’t like stinginess. We don’t like ‘economy’ when it comes down to rags and starvation. We hav<: no sympathy with the notion that the poor man shoul I hitch him self to a post and staid still while the rest of the world moves forward. It is no man’s duly to deny himself 01 every amusement, every luxury, every recreation, every comforl, that he may get licit, li is no man’s duty to make an iceberg of himself and to deny himself the enjoyments that result from generous actions— merely lhai he may hoard wealth for his heirs ioquarrel about. Bui there is yet an economy which is every man’s duty, and which is especially commendable in the man who struggles with poverty —an c cononiy which is consistent with happiness, and which must he prac ticed, if the poor man would secure independence. It is every man’s privilege, and it becomes his duly to live within his means ; not up to, but within them. Wealth does not make the man, we adnrl, and should never be taken into the account in.our judgment of men. But competence should be secured when it can he; and it al most always can lie by the practice of economy and self denial to only a tolerable extent. It should he se cured, not so much (brothers to look upon or to raise us in the estimation of others, as to secure the conscious ness of independence, and the con stant satisfaction that is derived from i ls acquirement and possession. We would like loi tnpress this sin gle fact upon the mind ot' every la boring man who may peruse this shoit article—ihal it is possiole for him to rise above poverty, and that the path to independence, though beset with toils and self sacrifice, is much pleasanter to the traveler than any one he can enter upon. The man who feels that he is raining something more than he is spending, will walk the streets with a much lighter heart and en.er his hofiie with a much mote cheerful cianlenan-e than he who spends as he goes, or falls gradually behind his necessities in acquiring the means j of meeting them. Next to the slavery of intemper ance j,ihere is no slavery on earth more galling than that of poverty and indebtedness. The man who is every body’s debtor is every body’s slave, and in a much worse condition than he who serves a sin gle master. For the sake of the present, then, as well as for the sake of the future, v.e would most earnestly urge upon eve y working man to live within Bis means. Let him lay by some thing every day—if but a penny, be ii a penny —it is belter than nothing, infinitely belter than running in debt, a penny a day or a penny a week. Ts he can earn a dollar lei him try fairly and faithfully the experiment of living on ninety cents. He will line it. “People will laugh.” Let them laugh. “They will call me stingy.” Better call you stingy than say you do not pay your debts. “They w ill wonder why I do ngt have belter furniture, live in a finer house, and allend concerts and the play-house. M Let them wonder for a while, it won’t hurt them, and it certainly won’t you. By and by you can It ive a fine house and fine furniture of your own, and they w ill wonder pgain, and come billing and cooing arbund you, like so many pleased fools. Try the experiment. Live within your means. —Maine Farmer. Bright Hours and Gloomy.— Ah, this beautiful world ! indeed, I know not what to think of it.-Some times it is all gladness and sunshine, and heaven itself lies not far off; and then it suddenly changes, and is dark and sorrowful, and the clouds shut out the day. In the lives of the saddest of us there are bright days like this when we feel as if we could take the great world in our arms. Then come gloomy hours when the fire will not burn on our hearths, and all without and within is dis mal, cold and dark. Believe me, every heart has its secret sorrows, which the world knows not, and oft en limes we call a man cold when he is only sad. Bad company is like a nail driven into a post which, after the first or second blow, may be drawn out with little difficulty; but being driven up to the head, the pincers cannot take hold ts draw it out, it can only be done by the destruction of the wood. Things You must not do. —Nev- er abuse one who was once your be som friend, however bitter now. Never insult poverty. Never speak contemptuously of woman. Never eat a hearty supper. Never stop to talk in a church aisle after the ser vice is over. Never smile at the es of your religion or your Bible. No. 36 W hat Constitutes a Providen tial Caul.— i iiis is a que lion on winch most ministers are, at some i- , required to seule. Perhaps some lig'it may be shed upon it by the following item, furnished by a n issiona y of the American Sunday School Union, in Virginia. He lias been called on to establish amission Sunday school in a region of coun* try known as “Hell Bend,” and more recently in another place bear ing the not euphonious or auspicious appellation of “Rowdy,” with good u cess in both instances, and is rc 'iiinord by bis experience of that of j a young Southern rnini-ler, who, nlinii about to leave the seminary, received two calls—one from a huee ami wealthy congregation, the other from a small band of Chris tian', reduced in circumstances and dwelling among a perverse genera* 11,11 • ib- "as asking advice of his iuln'r, in the hearing of ar. old fam ily m i van!, which of the two calls ee snonld accept. Old Sambo spoke oat and sail : “Massa John, I can icll you which of dem churches you miisi go to ; better you go whar dar is th h ast money and the most deb- I il.” A looker-on at our elbow, fresh from n ailing the report of the late meeting of .New York lax-payers in Cooper Hall, over the account of the Taaiiuury ring, suggests; “Some limes there is most devil where diero is most money. 1 he Insect ITwlil. —Eveery female insect, with the single exception of a few social species, such as honey bees, and perhaps ants and white anis (Termite*) perish in the course oi the same season, after laying their first and only batch of eggs. Their i ice is then run, the goal is then reached, and they retire from the course, to give place to that new generation of the same species. American Elomologist. Dr. Voelk, of Vienna, who hat rho reputation ol being more famil iar with Persian affairs than any other man in Europe, predicts that the famine in Persia will have in the beginning of spring terrible con sequences for Europe and America, lie says that the choleia will, in January, penetrate with redoubled virulence through the Caucassian countries into Russia, and spread tliencc all over the west and south ol Europe, and- soon after reach America. Originally it was the intention of Emperor Alexander to send the grand-duke hereditary, and not Al exis, to the United States. The re* pugnance of the grand-duchess her editary, who is a great favorite of the Emperor, to the project, and the fact that his eldest son is hardly fas milar with English, while Prince Al exis speaks it fluently, caused the czar to decide in favor of the latter. The advocates of women’s rights in Germany are jubilant. An emi nent jurist, asserts, in the Berlin Cross Gazette, that the constitution of t he German Empire confers the right to vote on every woman over twenty-one years of age. Other competent authorities take the same ground. To Take Grease Out of Silk. —Scrape chalk on the spot, spread a brown paper over, and set on a fl it hot iron. A curious experiment was tried in Russia with some murderers.— They were placed, without knowing it, in four beds where four persons hail died of the cholera. They did not lake the disease. They were then told lliat they were to sleep in beds where some persons had died of malignant cholera, but the beds were in fact, new and had not been used at all. Nevertheless, three of them died of the disease within four hours. Grant and Washington. —Pimp For ney, by way of a set off to the charges against Grant, with which the press of the country of all sections and all parties is teeming, is resurrecting the long for* gotten scandals which the malignsnts of his day uttered against the great and good Washington. Forney exultantly demonstrates that if disreputable, die* honest anil tyrannous acts are laid at the door of President Grant, to was Presi dent Washington made the subject of similar denunciations and abuse. For* ney clearly makes out his case. Wbat he says is true. But, unfortunately for the country, the charges against Grant arc true while the slanders against Wash ington weie false. —Savannah New*. Another Chicago. —The little city of of Monroe, in tho State of Louisians, has recently been the victim of a fire, which, iu view of its population, was hardly less destructive than the memo rable conflagration at Chicago on the 30th of November. The wealthiest por tion of the town, including stores, ware* houses, churches aud private dwelling*, the loss being estimated at $600,000. The tire, it is said, wag iu ity origil,
