From 1801 till 1872 or later Blaine held
SIO,OOO worth of stock in the Spencer
Rifle Company, for which he never paid
a cent, but claimed that the dividends
paid his notes, yielded him nearly $3,000

over $9,000. That in 1802, while a
member of the Maine Louse of repre
sentatives, ho tried unsuccessfully to sell
$40,000 worth of these rifles to Maine;
that in 1804, being a member of congress,
he managed to secure a contract with the
United States to take all the rifles the
company could furnish till September Ist,
1865, and release the company from the
War tax.

Godey's Lady’s Book (J. H. Ilaulen
beek & Co.. Philadelphia) for November
has made a sensation in literary circles,
being by common consent the fine-t num
bar of the book that has ever been pub
lished. The frontispiece, a fine steel
engraving of‘"The Morning Cali,” repre
sents a pretty child asleep in Lei while a
saucy, inquisitive little dog peers into her
face, wondering at her silence. The
picture is a very striking one, well worth
framing, and stands as an illustration of
a poem by Dorothy Ilolroyd. 'I lie colored
plates this month are unusually fine. In
addition to the usual designs, there are
some beautiful prints of silk applique
work, and a cut. showing the interior of
an elegant dining-room. Godey's has
always been up to par, but this month it
excels itself. The literary matter Is ex
cellent. A new story, in two ports, by
Mary IS. Bradley, is a strong feature of
this number. There is also u weird ta'o
by Mrs. M. Shcffey Peters, ami a droll
Thanksgiving story. All the serials arc
carried forward with absorbing interest,
and the whole tenor of the book is such
as to show that the publishers arc dolor
mined to cut shine the brightest luminarim
in ’.be literal y constcllatiim. Tluyndver

MAN’S DEVOTION.
Jake Poggles was a country youth.
Who paid his debts and told the truth.
He labored hard and seemed content
1 With life, no matter how it went,
Till with a named Saliie Skreels,
He fell in love head over heels.
Now Sallie’s father wasn't worth
A dollar or a foot of earth.
And Jake’s parental owed
Most every other man he km wed;
iDit .Take, who had a valiant heart,
Vowed that he’d work and get a start,
And with the help of Saliie dear.
He'd own a farm within a year.
Now Saliie, who was very cold,
And prety—that is prettty old,
Pretended that for her Jacob
The heaviest cross she’d gladly take up;
But, really, she cared no more
For Jake than the shoes he wore.
An old maid's matrimonial chances,
Grow very slim as time advances:
And this explains why Saliie Skreels
Proposed to share Jake's bed and meals.
They married. Tima fled on apace—
Jake rented old Bill Scogging's place.
And went to work, resolved to make
A fortune for his Sallie's sake.
Poor soul, he toiled with all his might,
From early morn till late at night:
Lut ah, no kind approving word
From Sallie’s lips was ever heard.
She raved around, chewed wax ar.d sung
Love songs she learned when she wasyoung;
Read old love letters she had got
From boobies long since gone to pot;
Yawned ov'ra scrap book tilled with bosh
Collected by her cousin Josh;
Trimmed her old hat in various ways
With all the gew-gaws she could raise:
In fact, she proved herself to be
A slip-shod lump of frivclity.
Poor Jake, he worked and ate cold meals.
Wore socks with neither toes nor heels:
Washed his own clothes when Sunday came,
And sewed fr?sh buttons on the same;
Got breakfast while his Sajlie slept,
Washed up the dishes, dusted, swept.
T i<*re’s no use talking, Jacob strove
To prove how perfect was his love.
One day Sal eat too ma y beans.
Grew sick and went to other t canes.
From that day forth Jake seldom spoke,
Smiled or worked —his heart, was broke.
hi the poor house ha sits and grk ves
And wipes his eyes on ragged sleeves.

“Have you a prescription?’’ inquired

Mrs. 11. C. Harshbarger, Manor Hill,
Huntingdon County, Pa., writes - “Dr. S.
B. Hartman & Co., Columbus, O.: I
have been afflicted for three years, caused
by over-work too soon after confinement.
My kidneys became seriously affected;
could not retain my urine day nor night.
It was high colored, thick and bloody.
My monthlies had left altogether for four
teen months, during which time I was
confined to iny bed with a beatingin right
ovaries. The discharge.from the womb
was so offensive no one could stay in the
ro im. The urine continued bloodv, with
pain in voiding it. an .1 when in bed would
pass from me in my sleep. I have had
three doctors attending in ■ regularly, one
for four month*, one of the others one
whole summer, and the third all winter.
We ha I two others in consultation with
them, and used twenty bottles of differ
ent kinds of patent medicines, ail to no
good. I tlie - ! git a bottle of Percsa,
and before I had three-fourths of the bot
tle taken I quit wetting the bed and could
retain thcurine sufficient to attend church,
which I had nit done for three years,
and my monthlies came back as natural
as ever; indeed. I considered myself a
well woman again. Sine ■ that time I have
had pneumonia. Mr confidence in Pe
run A was so great that I did not -end for
a doctor. I followed the directions in
your “Ills of Life” and am over it, as well
as can be expected of one so delicate as I
have been. Others in mv neighborhood
had the same disease, and among them
were strong m -- n, and had th.-best physi
cians, an J yet died, while I sailed through
in safety on PBiWNAand M aNalin. I
sincerely believe, and would say to all the
afflicted it tire wide world, that Perun A
an.l M ixa'.in ar..- the only two medicines
that any one needs in any di-ease. if used
as directed in your book entitled “3 he Ills
of Lit' - ."
J. E. Fleming, publisher of the New
Dominion, Morgantown, W Va, write-.
‘‘Some months since. I received some of
your me.licin .* in exchange for advertis
ing. Mv wile his taken five bottles of it,
and has derived great benefit from it.”
Mr. M C. I’ r-hing, Bradenville, Pa.,
write-: “ Mv wife has b■ - n using PERU
NA for some lime for weak lungs and liv
er and kidney complaint, and thinks it is
doing her great good. Has used only one
bottle as yet. Please send your book on
the ‘llls of Life,' as we can’t get any from
our druggist.”
