Tl e victims cf liquor are not all among

a confirmed drunkard. She disappear
ed. Two years ago she went to her bus
ban’s room about midnight, asking for
help. She was partly drunk, her clothes
were soiled, and .every way she looked
bad. She said else was just out of pris
on, and wanted to reform. He procured
board for her. Soon she disappeared
again, and was seen no more until a few
days ago she turned up as a gypsy for

give this warning: Total abstinence from

XXroXICATING LIQUORS.
Every man who has much to do with
stock knows that every animal used for
riding or driving has its own gait, and if
pushed out of that gait will break down
sooner. Il is the same way with the in
ternal machinery of the human body. It
is fitted for going at a certain rate ol
speed. If you quicken the circ'ilatior.
by stimulants, the organs will wear ou'
sooner. There is no avoiding it. Dis
ease may make the circulation so sluggish
that a stimulant is beneficial, but a
healthy man who habitually stimulates
s always it jured by it. He may not feet
it for some time; but when the decay.of
physical powers would naturally coir,
mence, his strength will fail far more
lapidly than if be had let the machinery
of life take its own gait.

uKirnxu away.
The voyage of life is strewn with
wrecks. On all sides of us we see the
shoals and quick-sands on which our
friends drifted and were wrecked: wrecks
of manhood and womanhood, of tender
ycarsand hoary age, drifting away; wrecks
of tender ineffable loves, whose shallops
were wrecked an shore, under
the very glow of the isles of hope, drift
ing away; mor»L>vrec!ca, physical wrecks,
financial wrecks, kgaj>wrecks, literary
wrecks, drifiirif jway. In tise- bygone
vears they launched out frrAi rural homo,
quiet village, chgpujJ’cWp, and classic
shade, as proukjiA-Mwr^ft2'(u l | ot prom
sc. as a neauQuilt s'eamer for her trial
rip. J/iy-oari. in each face, hope hung
her cx>J:iyl«pn each brow, love danced
t^tTclilTe, music, with softest ca-
Jence, warmed each soul. They sailed
' ff eo-se'ear smo th watets. but had
uaicely passed out of sight till the winds
ro-e, the. chuds blackened, (he stoim*
•athered. the sun of hope rrew dim. th*
■tars (>f promise withdrew their shining,
he heavens receded farther and fartl.ei
and they are drifting away. Becalmm
under a hot and copper sky, sails and
pennons idly flipping the masts, scam
opening under the fierce heat, and side
•reaking to the s'uggish swell of the se ■.
'bey arc drifting away. Wrecks as ful
of contagion as a plagueship, as full of
horrors ns an arctic craft with famished
and fnz n crow, drifting away. Some
ill-omened albatross scattered disease and
death from her wings.
‘■Ami Bllniy things did crawl with leg-’
Upon the slimy sea."
No beacon light on shore, no bitoybell
above the waves, n > fire in engine, no
man at the wheel, no commander in fore
castle, no seaman in the rigging,’ all
drifting away.
•‘That fatal, that perfidious bark
Was built in an eclipse.
And rigged with curses dark."
Intemperance was in stem an 1 stern, in
sails, masts, and rigging, and now, upon
a shoreless uceanjof troubles an I confu
sion, without a guide, without a compass,
without a chart, drilling away. Wrecks
that once sailed so buo/nnlly out of port
for some Utopia of promise, sotne tropic
of ambition, some beauteous isle of love,
for the cargo that promised fame, honor,
happiness, only repeated the st rv of the
-ibyl, and whisky was the Roman king,
drifting away. Wrecks whose characters,
fortunes, and hopes, have gone overboard
in a storm of dissipation, who, having en
gulfed honor, pare purpose, and high
resolve, in the dismal sunless sea of in
temperance, lie on beams’end, drifting
away. Wrecks going down in ti e fiery,
flaming, syren voiced sea of Intemper
nice, going asunder with tbe eternal roar
of the breakers, and giving to the mock
ing waves only the wailing* of paron',
the agon.zing cry of wife and children,
the wild lamentations of loving maidens,
drifting away.
Those ships never return. You may
go down to the shore under the fierce
light of day, or the solemn stillness of
the stars, and lovingly look over the
great blue expanse; but you see no sign
of ship, no glistening of sails; you hear
no voice of happy crew.no rattling of an
chor ch-til*-: all imve drifted away, and
lie entombed 'ne*th the high crested,
ever surging waves ot Intemperance,
‘‘Oh, could spirit* bear shut spirits tell,
Wb»t a holiday iu hell.”
When v. e see our friends drilling away,
let us whisper a note of warning, and
uoint them to the wreck-strewn shore.
When we see a fellow mortal drifting
away from home, friends, and honor,
mock him not, but whisper a kind word,
and remember that somebody loves him.
Remember that some tun ler heart will
swell with anguish at his fall; some lov
ing mother wiil weep oe’r her onoesinless
boy; some devoted wife will grieve as she
views her fallen prince; some loved ami
loving woman will drop a tear, and whis
per a silent piuyt r for her idol over
thrown; or perhaps seme loving sister,
"Who lie* with a tress of his balr.
Dark ou her bi cast—where the death shadows
are’’

pled wall* of the dental courts.
Mock him not, but Help him to mount
above the voiceless waves cf death and
hell. —“Tar Hekl,” in Acicorth Neves

“Oh, I can’t sing.” pleaded a young
man, who femininely wanted to be
coaxed before gratifying his auditors.
‘•Yes, you can. I’ve heart! two or
three of your friends say so,” persist
e<l a pretty girl to whom be bail been
talking. “No I can’t,’’ he repeated,
getting up tog<> to the piano. “Yes
vou can. Go on now and sing, pleas'?,”
she urged. []e said be couldn’t two
or three times more, but he went
ahead, and for half an hour his voice
was the most prominent thing in tlie
room. Then be came back smiling to
the young lady. “Ah,’’ she said,
wearily, “thanks. You were quite
right about the singing.’’ His face
clouded, and he never spoke again to
the girl who agreed with him.—

That Dirty Dandruff.
Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in
everyway. It soils the clothing contin
ually, and is accompanied by a hardly
less annoying sensation of itching- The
scalp is diseased. There is nothing in
tbe world so thoroughly adipted to this
trouble as Parker's Hair Balsam, li
cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the
falling hair and restores its original soft
ness, gloss and color. Is not oily, high! ■
perlumed, an elegant dressing. X cry
economical, as only a small occasional
application keeps the hair in perfect
; condition.
THAT NICE GIRL.
Very particular people may object
to the adjective, but it expresses ex
actly what is needed, and as no other
word can.
Although she is bright, nobody has
to excuse a bit of sarcasm by saying,
‘she is so clever.’
Although she is well dressed, her
costtime is never so conspicuous that
she is invited out because she will dis
play the latest fashions.
Although she rides, drives, and
plays outdoor games, she does not
talk so continuously of these accom
plishments, as to have it said that
‘Miss Bertie is just like one of us you
know.’
Although she is a fine musician, she
has not become so excessively cultur
"<l that if a person asks for a funny
piece she declines to play, on tbe
ground that it is not classical.
Although she likes to walk, and
enjoys a sea bath, she does not nuke
herself a wnlki ig pamphlet of'How to
be healthy.’
Although she rends a good tletil, an
evening spent in her company does
not mean that you are so fed with
criticisms upon authors that you won
der if she ever read a funny poem
called ‘The Temple of Bosh,’ anil re.
aliges what an ardent worshipper she
is therein.
Nq, the nice girl does none of these
iliing*. She may or may not be ac
e.omplbhed in nvmi , literature, frock
making, or tak’ng care of herself; l.ut
she <lo< s thoroughly understand the
respect and consideration due to other
peoples’weal ne-.-es, opinions, or pres
ence. She has learned that her con
duct in lif? is not the most interest
ing thing in the world to them, and
that a craving for the comfort of one’s
neighbor usually results in a lovirg
memory well worth having, and she
need n t be an insane soul, without
likes and dislikes; but she must per
force be careful to whom she expresses
them. A woman without an cpinion
of her own compares with potatoes
without salt.
The nice girl has faults, else she
would not be liked, ns we seldom care
for entirely irreproachable souls: they
make the contrasts too violent, and so
wound our self-pride.
The nice girl is like other girls in
most respects, but she possesses tact
in a special degree, has cultivated it,
and is most decidedly, looked at only
from a worldly standpoint, the gainer
by it. ,
It is not bard to be a nice girl if yon
start out with a willingness, nnt neces
sarily to make a Uriah Heep of j our
self, but to make self secondary and
the thanks of others your richest re
ward.
Who wouldn’t be a nice girl?—

Metal Polson.
1 atu a coppersmith by trade, and du
ring a series of years my anus (being bare
when at work) have absorbed a wonder
ful amount of metal poison. Having a
a scrofulous tendency from my youth, the
small particles of copper nnd brass would
get into the sore*, and bythis process the
poiam was conveyed into my bleod till
my whole system became infected. I wa
treated w ith tbe old remedies of mercury
and iodide of pota.-siutn. Sdivation fol
lowed, my teeth are a ) loose in u.y head,
my dii'estive organs deranged, and I have
been helpless in bed for over a year with
mercurial rheumatism. My joints were
al swollen, and I Inst the use of tny arms
and legs, and became helpless as an in
font.
My sufferings became so intense that
it was impossible for me to rest. T e
doctors advised ire to go to the city hos
pital for treatment. This 1 could not
bear. A friend, who ha* proved a Iriei.d
indeed, U'ged me to try Swift's Specific,
believing it would cure me. Others dis
couraged me, but I secured a fe v bottles,
and have now taken two dozen buttles.
The fi st effect of the medicine was to
bring the poison to the surface, an l 1
broke out all over io running sores. They
soon disappeared, and my skin cleared
off. My knees, which had become twice
their natural size, bare resumed their
; usual size, and are snpple as of yore My
aims and hands are all right again, nnd
I can use them without pain. The entire
disease has left all parrs el the body save
two ulcers on my wrists, which are heal
ing rapidly. lam weak from long con
finement but I have the use of all my
limbs. This medicine is bringing me oat
of the greatest trial of my life, and I can
not find words sufficient to express ry
appreciation of it* virtues, and the grati
tude I feel that I ever heard of it.

Mian Nellie Kent,

‘‘Dr. S. H. 11 All iman & Co., Columbu*.
0., Gentlemen: I have been agreattuff
i rcr from chronic catarrh, bronchitis and
neuralgia of the face. I have been taking
your Peruna for one mon'h. The neu
-1 ralgia and catarrh is almost well, and the
I cough is much better. 1 like your I’itliU-
NA very much.”
C. E. Ditnler. aged thirty-four years, of
Equality, Illinois, had been effected with
a chronic catarrh which he first discov
i ered six years ago. Lt sncecs nm he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The disease
was so malignant that it not only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition of the nose nn.l seriously affected
the external parts. He con'd only hear a
w..tch lickin ; by holding it close to his
ear. He sufL-rcd intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor tell. In this condition he presented
1 himself to Dr. Hartman several months
ago. He can now hear a watch eight
inches from his right and six inches from
hi* left ear. 11 is taste and smell are again
returning, and the external part ot the
nose is quite well. Few more grateful
patients ever left a physician's office than
Mr. Duplcr. He said, " Why in the
i world was Perun A not prescribed lor
me long ago?”
Cramps of the Stomach.
Wc have the privilege of reporting the
following case. Those similarly affected
i can get the name and address of Dr.
Hart.nan. The lady does not want her
name in the papers. For a year, or years,
, (the writer does not remember the length
of time.) this lady had cramps, the most
fearful, of the stomach, every day and
night, " which would be followed by that
. terrible weakness, which was something
wonderful.”' The suffering and distress
of this ladv was indescribable and almost
, unendurable. Alter all the physicians
and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost ff.-d. Dr. Hartman was con
-1 suited, and from the first day of taking
his PekcNA, the cramps and all bad
feeling left tier, and now for over a month
has been entirely free from every symp
■ tom. A more thankful patient no doctor
ever had.
Mr. Boggs, druggist, Charlestown,
Kanawha Co.,W.Va., writes : ‘‘Peruna
’ sells well here and gives good satisfaction.
Customers speak well of it.”
, Dr. J. Anderson, Coshocton, Ohio,
, writes : “Your Peruna sells well and
gives good satisfaction. I consider it a
splendid medicine.”
