the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of the

Corrhoei-., arising fr»m internal ulceration, and
Uterine diseases and Ceneral Debility, Vege
Tine acts directly upon the causes of these com.
plaints. It invigorates and strengthens the whole
system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflam¬
mation, cxres ulceration and regulates the boWels.
For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Cos¬
tiveness, Palpitation of the Heart, Head¬
ache, Piles, Nervousness, and General
Prostration ot the Nervous System, no
medicine has ever given such perfect satisfaction as
the Vegetine. It purifies the blood, cleanses all of
the organs, and posesses a controlling power over the
nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by Vegetine have
induced many physicians and apothecuries whom we
know, to prescribe and use it in their own families.
In fact, Vegetine is the best remadyyet discov¬
ered for the above diaeases, and is the only reliable
BLOOD PURIFIER yet placed before the public.

THF VO! KG WIDOW.
She is modest but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold i
Like an apple ripe and mellow,
Not too young, and not too old.
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy—
Tuere is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye,
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in all her arts—
She has taken her diploma
As the mistrets of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Ch, a maid is sjmeLmes charming*
But a widow all the while.
Are you sad ? Hew very serious
Will her handsome face become!
Are you angry ? She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb !
Are you mirthful ? How her laughter
Silver sounding will ring out!
She can lure and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bold and wise;
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love-looks in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But I know a little widow
Who could win ahd fool you all.
Ji fashionable church congregation ot
Bryan, Ohio, was sued by a sinner for
influencing his wife to desert her home.
He claimed $2,500 as damages, and get
it.
A young apprentice to the shoemas
king business asked his master what an¬
swer he should give to the oft repeated
question, '‘Does your master warrant his
shoes “Answer, Thomas,’ said the
master, ‘that I warrant them to prove
good, and it they don’t I’ll make them
good for nothing. 5
‘Why,’ said a lover to his mistress
‘are you like that hinge ?’ ‘Can’t even
guess,’ ‘Because you are something to a
door (adote),’ She cut his acquaintance
immediately, which, we surmise, consid¬
erably unhinged him.
A little boy entered a fish market the
other day, and seeing for the first time a
pile of lobsters lying on the counter,
looked intently at them for some time,
when be exclaimed; ‘By gracious j
them’s the biggest grasshoppers I’ve
ever seen!’
At this season of the year cows eat
Wild onions, which give to the milk and
butter an unpleasant taste. We have
been told by a person who has tried it,
that if eight or ten grains of p irched
coffee are dropped into a gallon of milk,
this taste will be eutirely removed.
A Gloomy Outlook.— Seeing that
flour is fourteen dollars per barrel iu
Liberia, butter one dollar per pound, and
hams eight dollars apiece, the Raleigh
(N. C.) News fails to perceive how the
colored people are to be benefited by re¬
moval to that Republic, to say nothing of
the inclemency of the African coast cli¬
mate.
To ‘dun’ is a word of consequence, kn¬
it is at once a verb and a noun, and is
derived from the Saxon word dunnan ,
to din or clamor. It owes its immortals
ty— bo tradition says—to having been
the surname of one Joe Dun, a famous
bailiff of Lincoln in the reign of Henry
TIL, who was so active and dexterous
in collecting bad debts that when any
one became ‘slow to pay,’ the neighbors
used to say, ‘Dun him,’ that is, send Dun
after him.
The blunders of absent mindedness
are sometimes exceedingly amusing.
Most readers will remember the deeply
absorbed Professor, who, in passing out
of the gateway of his college, ran against
a cow. In the confusion of the moment
he raised his bat and exclaimed, ‘I beg
your pardon, madam.’ Soon afterward
he stumbled against a lady in the street,
when, in sudden recollection ef his for¬
mer mishap, he called out, ‘Is that you
again, you brute V
The Methodist Espiscopal pastor of a
church at Sandiake, N. Y. surprised his
people on Sunday last by making this
announcement: ‘The Board cf Trustees
have r.ot paid my salary, have taken no
notice ot my demands, circulated no sub¬
scription paper, nor made auy other eU
tort to fulfill their obligations to me. I
am badly involved in debt, and do not
propose to continue preaching for notbt.
mg. I therefore declare the pulpit va¬
cant until God in his mercy can send you
a minister who can live ou air and wear
buckskin breeches of his own make.’
‘He is a man after my own heart, pa,
said Julia, reverting to her Charles Au
gustus. ‘Nonsense.’ replied old practi¬
cal, ‘he is a man after the money your
uncle left you.’ And then all was quiet*
IS FRIDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY?
Some people will persist in demon
stiating F riday as unlucky, notwithstand¬
ing that it is the d-te of some of the
most important and most fortunate oc
ourrences on record of human transac¬
tions. Let us see. On Friday, August
2l«t, 1492, Columbus sailed on his great
•voyage of discovery. On Friday, Octo
bei 12th, 1495, he first d scovered land.
—On Friday January 14th, 1493, he
sailed on his return to Spain, which, if
he had not remind in safety, the happy
result might never have been known
which led to the settlement ot this vast
continent. On Friday March 15th, 1495
he arrived at Palos in safety, On Fri¬
day, November 22d, 1493, he arrived at
rlispaniola, on his second Voyage to
America. On Friday, June 13th, 1494,
he, though unknown to himself, discov¬
ered the cohtinent of America. On Fri¬
day, March 5th, 1496, Henry VIII., of
England, gave to John Cabot his com
mission, which led to the discovery of
tforfh America. This is the first Atner
ican State paper in England. Ou Fri«
day, September 7th, 1505, was founded
St, Augustine, Florida, the oldest town
in the United Stales by more than forty
years. On Friday, November lOlh, 1620,
the Mayflower, with the Pilgrims, made
the harbor of Provincetown ; and on the
same day they signed that august com¬
pact, the foreiunner of the Federal COll 4 -
stitution. On Fridey, February 22d,
1732 George Washington, the Father of
American freedom was born. On Fri
day, June l6(h, 1775 Bunker Hill w-as
seized and fortified. On Friday, Octo
ber 7th, 1777, the sun under of Saratoga,
was made which bad such power and in¬
fluence in inducing France to declare for
our cause. On Friday, September 22d,
1780, the treason of Arnold was laid
bate, which saved us from destruction.
On Friday, October 18th, 1781, the sur
render at Yorktown, the crowning glory
ot the American aims, occured. On
Friday, June 7th, 1776, the motion in
Congress was made by John Adams, and
seconded by Richard Henry Lee, that
the United Colonies were, and of right
ought to be free and independent. Thus
we s^e that, Friday is not so bad. a day,
after all.
HoLLy and Dogwood.— A Newbern,
N. C„ correspondent says: Quite an
industry has developed in the cutting and
shipping of what is known in all parts cf
the State as ‘holly.’ This timber is in
great demand North for piano keys and
engravers’ blocks. Almost every steamer
carries a freight of the logs of this tim¬
ber. A representative of an English
firm is here for the purpose of procuring
‘dogwood’ timber, which is taken away,
coriveited into handles for cheap cutlery,
bobins, and other like simple uses, and
then sold back to us. A shipment of
ninety cords of dogwood timber was
made this week, from a point just below
the city, where the nrtives upon oa ? h
would havesworu that there was not as
many feet to be lound in all the county
around. The price paid those who cut and
delivered this wood on the railroad is
$6 per cord.
Tklegkaphv in Europe.— Last year
there was expended tor telegrams in the
countries of Europe $15,400,000, at an
average cf 32 cents per message. In
this expenditure Great Britain led the list
with nearly 43 per cent, of the whole ;
France came next with about 2 2 per
cent., Germany, 18 per cent., no other
country exceeded 4 per cent. The
length of wires in Great Britain very
slightly exceeds that of Germany, and is
nearly a fourth more than France; in
this particular, Switzerland takes the lead
of the smaller European States.
A toper in the interior of the State
having determined upon a reformation if
possible, publishes the following advert
tisemem, as singular as it is productive
of sad reflection : ‘Itfotice-^Whereas, At
particular times 1 may importune my
friends and others to let me have liquor,
which is hurtful to me and starvation to
my devoted wife and children ; this is,
therefore, to forbid any person selling me
iquor, or letting me have auy on any
account or pretense ; for if they do, I
will positively prosecute them, not with'
standing any promise I may make to the
contrary at the time they let me have
it.’
Mrs. Jones of Cedar Creek, Inch,
knocked a tramp down the other day with
a club. Now that tramps are so numer¬
ous and sometimes insolent, every wos
man ought to learn how to knock a
man down with a club. We would sng
gest that they practice daily for a few
months on their husbands,
TWO DOLLARS Per Annum
ATLANTIC WRECKS FOR THIRTY-SEVEN
YEARS.
We have before us a record showing
the number of lives lost in crossing the
Allan ic during the last thirty seven
years. In this period filty-six fine steam
rs have been wrecked, and in twenty
nine instances more oi less lives were
'ost. Nine vessels never heard from af
ter leaving port-. These are the Presi
lent in 1841, the City of Glascow in 18-
54, the Pacific in 1856, the Tempest in
1857, the United Kingdom in 1868, the
City of Boston in 1870, the Scanderia in
1872, the Ismailia in 1873, and the Col¬
ombo in 1877. The number of lives
which were thus blotted out aggregates
1,307. Of the remaining vessels, four
.ve; e burned, five sunk by collision, two
by coll,ding vvi h icebergs, two founder¬
ed at sea* and thirty-four were wrecked
on various coasts; This is a suggestive
sho ving, for it at once calls into Contrast
the relative peril incurred by depend euce
upon human jundgertient and human
handiwork. Of the entire total of steam
ers lost, in but two cases can the disas¬
ter be attributable to a breakdown of
the machinery ; the Anchor line steamer
Hibes ilia, which foundered through hsi
propelling shalt having been withdrawn
from its place after the propeller had
been lost ; and the other the Ismailia, of
the same line, which was once spoken
under sail, her machinery being disabled,
and w r as never heard of afterwards. Nei¬
ther has any boiler explosion occurred on
an Atlantic steamer during the period
mentioned. So far as the record before
us is authority, the inference therefore is
that the greatest loss of life is due not to
la'-k ot safe vessels, but to failure in
judgement or the incompetence of those
who handle them.— /Scientific Ameri¬

Bound to Earn a Living,- —Exchan
ges are publishing a charming sketch of
Yale gtaduate who opened— a law office
in New York, and then, rather than
starve while waiting tor clients, opened
business as a boot black under the side*
walk at the entrance of a downtown
restaurant* His earnings soon ran up to
$6 a day, and he had to hire an assiso
tant. While he was at work he disguis¬
ed himself so that his best friend could
not recognize him ; but out of business
hours the bootblack was an elegant gen¬
tleman, living in a stylish boarding
house on Twenty-first street. He fell in
love with a beautiful being, and had a
rival, who finally discovered his vulgar
occupation aud informed the venerable
papa that the young lady was keeping
company with a bootblack. But the de~
nouement is »very touching. “Lily !”
yelled the old gentleman, red in the face,
“come here. You may take John as
soon as you please. He set about
earning a living honestly, aud ha3 suc^
ceeded. lie will get on,’’ The boot
black has resigned the brush and resunv*
ed the practice ot law, and has gathered
his Lily to his bosom.—AT. Y. Tribune ,
The first paper mill in England was
built in 1586 by a German at Dart ford,
in Kent, Nevertheless, it was nearly a
century and a half—namely, in 1713—
before Thomas Watkins, a stationer,
brought paper-making to anything like
perfection. The first approach to a pen
was the stylus, a kind of an iron bodkin :
but the Romans forbade its use on ac¬
count of its frequent use and even fatal
use in quarrels, and then it was made of
bone. Subsequently, reads pointed and
split, like pens of the present day, were
used,
The city of Dundee, Scotland, has
been ordering a number of wheelbarrows
in which to transport to the stationhous^

like a cofin, mounted on double springs,

A young nun, on becoming affianced,
was desirous of presenting his intended
with a ring appropriately inscribed ; but
being at a loss what to have engraved
upon it; he asked his father’s advice.
‘Well,’ said the old gentleman, ‘put on,
When this you see , remember me,'
The young lady was surprised, upon re¬

this inscription, ‘When this you see, re¬
