Among the many carious modes of
making money here, 1 think none sur
passes the following:
A surgeon told me that he went one
day into the tent of a brother medicus,
on the Bendigo, just as a patient was
going out.
‘1 have been stopping a tooth,’ said
the surgeon.
‘Do you get good cement here ?’
inquired my friend.
Admirable,’ replied the surgeon.
‘I saw an old gutta percha bucket sel
ling in a lot of old tools one day at
auction. ! bought the lot for the sake
©f the bucket, which cost me five shil
lings. I have already stopped hun
dreds of teeth with the gutta percha
at a guinea each, and shall, no doubt,
stop thousands with it before the old
bucket, is used up. It is a fortune to
me. My'name is up for an unrivalled
dentist, and they come to me far and
near.’ —Two Years in Victoria .
A son of the Emerald /slo lately
had occasion to visit the city in his
vehicle. Having arrived at his point
of destination, he alighted and proceed
ed to transact his business. On return
ing to the place where he had left his
horse and wagon, he was astonished
to learn that his horse had run away.
‘Sliure and did he break the rein ?’
inquired he of Ins inlormant.
‘No, I believe not,’ was the reply.
‘Well thin, how in the name of St.
Patrick could he have got loose, for
sure an’ I tied the reins to the wagon?’
On the Wrong Train.—A few
nights since some young men, going
from Columbus to Cincinnati. Ohio,
in the cars, were getting rather noisy
and profane, when a gentleman in a
white cravat tapped one of them on
the shoulder with the remark ;
‘Young man, do you know you are
on the the road to hell V
‘That’s just my luck ; I took a tick
et for Cincinnati, and I’ve got on the
wrong train.’
An old farmer, standing on the corn
ner, was terribly out of humor, because
he had lost all his wheat by the Wee
vil, for more than two successive years.
He was advised by a bystander to
sow Mediterranean wheat hereafter,
asvthat escaped the ravages of the in
sect.
He replied indignantly, ‘No, sir,
I’ll be darned if I do; 1 can stand it
as long as the Weevil can, und I will.
Mrs. Partington has just communi
cated a scientific discovery, namely,
that the only way to prevent steam
boat explosions, is to make the en
gineers ‘bile their water on shore. 1
In her opinion, all the ‘bustin’ is by
cookin’ the steam on board. 1
Children are raised in Japan with a

occasionally raised with a rope—

grown folks, Japan holds out induce

A witty doctor said that tight lac
ing was a public benefit, inasmuch
as it killed oil'all the foolish girls, and
left the wise ones to grow to be wo

‘Mr. Jones, I don’t know where
the boy got his bad temper; not from
me, 1 am sure.’
‘No my dear, 1 don’t perceive that
you have lost any.’
In a late speech, Lucy Stone said,
*We know there is cotton in the ears
of men. Let us look for hope in the
bosoms of women.’ May you not find

* They say you are rather fond of
a glass of wine occasionally,’ suid
Neal Dow to a jolly acquaintance.
‘That’s slanderous and unjust,’ was
the reply, ‘thy should say a bottle.’
‘Take a wife, Tom,’ said Richard
Brinsley Sheridan to his wild son Tom,
the father ol Mrs. Norton, ‘take a
wife, Tom, and reform. 1
‘With all my heart, 1 neplied Tom,
innocently, ‘whose wife shall 1 take?’
Two Things To Be Kept —Your

Jotter when disputing with a woman.
This may be difficult, but it can be
done by getting two chapters of Job
by heart.
What a Newspaper does with
out Reward. —The result of my ob
servations enables me to state as a
fact, that puplishers of newspapers
are more poorly rewarded than any
other classof men in the United States,
who invest an equal amount of labor,
capital and thought. They are ex
pected to do more service for less pay.
to stand more sponging dead-heading,’
to puff and defend more people, and
sorts of people, wiihout fee or hope
of reward, than any o>her class. They
credit winter and longer, get ofiener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss;
and are oftener the victims of mis
placed confidence than any other cal
ling in the community. People pay a
printers bill more reluctantly than any
other. It goes harder with them to
expend a dollar on a valuable news
paper than ten on a useless gewgaw;
yet every body avails himself of the
services of the editor’s and the prin
ter's ink. How many professional
and political reputations and fortunes
have boen created and sustained by
the friendly, though unrequited pen
of (he editor. How many embryo
town and cities have been brought into
notice and puffed into prosperity by
the press? How many railroads,
now in successful operation, would
have foundered but for the assistance
of the ‘lever that moves the world ;’
in short, what branch of American
industry or activity has not been pro
moted, stimulated and defended by
the press?
And who has tendered it more than
a miserable pittance for its mighty
services ? The bazaars of fashion and
folly, the haunts of appetites and adissi
pation, are thronged wilh an eager
crowd, bearing gold in thir palms, and
the commodities there vended are
sold at enormous profits, though in
trinsically worthless and paid for wilh
scrupulous punctuality; while the
counting'room of the newspapers is
the seat ofjewing. cheapening trade,
orders and pennies. It is made a
point of honor to liquidate a grog bill,
but not of dishonor to repudiate a
printers bill —Cleveland Leader.

TION,
This preparation is getting into use all
. over our Country. The numerous letters
we receive from our various agents, inform
ing us of cures effected in their immediate
neighborhoods, warrant us in saying it is
one of the best, if uot the very best cough
medicine now before the public. It almost
invariably relieves and not unfrequently
eures the very worst of cases. When all
other Cough preparations have failed, this
has relieved the patient as Druggist, deal
ers in Medicines,and Physicians can testify
Ask the Agent in your nearest town what
has been his experience of the effects of this
medicine. If he has been selling it for any
length of time he will tell you
IT IS THE BEST MEDICINE EX
TANT.
Below we give a few extracts from let
ters we have received lately regarding th*
virtues of this medicine.
Dr. S. S. Oslin, of Knoxville, Ga says:
—I have been using your Liverwort and
Tar very extensively in my practice for
throe years past, and it is with pleasure I
state my belief in its superiority over all
other articles with which I am acquainted
for which it is recommended.
Messrs. Fitzgerald & Benners, writiug
from Waynesville, N. C. says:—The Liver
wort and Tar is becoming daily more pop.
ular in this county, and we think justly so.
All who have tried it speak in commendable
terms of it, and say it is very beneficial in
alleviating the complaints for which it is re
commended.”
Our Agent in Pickens District, S. C. Mr,
S, R. McFall, assures us that he uses it
with great benefit in his own family, and
recommends it to his neighbors. He gives
mi instances of a Negro womau, in his vici
nity, who had been suffering with disease of
the Lungs for years, attended with severe
cough, who was*relieved by the Liverwort
and Tar.
Such are the good reports we hear of this
Medicine from all parts of the South. For
a report of the surprising cures it has per
formed in'the Western and Northern and
Eastern States, we would invite the suffer
ing patient to roau tbepamphlet which ac
companies each ,bottle. To all, we say,
have hope, have hope.’
