The play of the jetlets of flame when the children laugh out on the hearth-stone; The town or the prairie consumed In a terrible, hissing combustion. The glide of a wave on the sands with its myrlsd sparkle in breaking; The roar and the fury of ocean, a limitless mmlstrom of ruin. • The leaping of heart unto heart with bliss that can never be spoken; The passion that maddons, and shows how flod may be thrust from His creatures.

John’s Little Joke.

‘ Well, I snum 1” exclaimed Uncle Phil Wheeler, in his characteristic way, linishing the speech with a prolonged whistle. “ What’s the matter, Unole Phil?” “Hey?” “ What’s the matter ?” “ Why, your Aunt Susan just bought another bureau 1” The speakers were Mr. Philip Wheeler, commonly called Uncle Phil, and his handsome, devil-may-care nephew, John Langdon. Uncle Phil was standing under the big brown horse-chestnut tree, whittling a new handle for his hammer, when a hay-wagon, containing a bureau, stopped before the gate. “ Whose bureau’s that?” demanded Uncle Phil. “It’s for Miss Wheeler,” was the answer. “ Sho bought it down at Squire Thomas’s auction.” “ Well, I snum !” John Langdon, just coming from the wood-house, armed cap-a-pie, with rod and lines, heard the exclamation and inquired the cause. “So Aunt Susan has bought another bureau, has she ?” he remarked, after a moment’s scrutiny of that awful piece es household furniture. “ I say, Uncle Phil, where is she going to pui it?” “ Hey ?” ejaculated Uncle Phil, staring hard at 4js nephew over his silverbowed specs. “ Where is sho going to put it ?” Uucle Phil shook his head and renewed his whittling. “ I’m blamed if I know,” he said al last. “ I reckon ’twill have to set atop of sumthing, for I don’t believe there’s floor room for it in the house.” “ I’ve got three in my room now, and I shall protest against a fourth,” laughec John. “Aunt Susan,” addressing thal lady, who appeared on the piazza tc superintend the removal of her newly-ac-quired treasure from the cart to the house, “where are you going to pul that thing ?” “Well, John, if you want it, why o) course you can have it; but I did think I’d put it in the buttery, it would be so handy—” “by all means,” interrupted John ; *“ the buttery is just the place for it; three are as many as I can occupy, inasmuch as 1 only brought a hand-bag along On my little visit. If you were to give me a fourth, I should be reduced to the necessity of remaining in bed in order to use it.”

“ Oh, go away, you rogue,” cried his aunt, looking lovingly at him; “and stop laughing at your old auntie. Here you,” in alarm to the driver. “Tak< care, there, you’ll have that leg oil I Hold on to the glass! My Imy ! How careless you bo !” After much anxiety on Aunt Susan’s part, hair-breadtli escapes on the bureau’s and a good deal of harmless swearing, such as “I snum !” “by golly !” etc., on Uncle Phil’s, the old bu reau w as at last deposited in the buttery, where it took up just three inches more room than it could with any degreo of propriety bo accommodated with. Consequently, being of a firm and unyielding nature, a sharp and uncompromising corner was thrust obtrusively and offendingly out, against which unwary toes and unfortunate shins would in ail probability be frequently punished. But Aunt Susan was not the woman to go forth to meet trouble, and no shadow rested upon her placid brow, nor misgivings annoyed or made afraid. The bureau was a bargain, arid that sublime fact shed such a halo of glory over its somewhat battered surface as to completely put to rout the inconvenience of its position. Next morning Aunt Susan rose betimes, sent for the woman who lived on the back road, and enjoyed a day ol “putting to rights.” Those clays, in which she caused to be brought forth from garret, cellar and hidden store rooms treasures collected from auctions innumerable, were dear to her heart, though abominations in ilie eyes of Undo Phil, who wandered around amid the household gods in Bitterness of 6pirit. John watched the “cleaning” operation with an amused smile curling the corners of his handsome mouth, till at length a bright idea struck him. “By Jove,” he muttered, “ I believe we might do it!” Five minutes later he might have been seen in earnest confab with Uncle Phil, who grinned and nodded, liis head in evident satisfaction and full approval of the plan, whatever it was. The day ended with great success in the cleaning line. Before sundown an array of spotless mahogany brass, china, britannia, etc., etc., might have been seen ornamenting Uncle Phil’s front yard—articles which the waning rays of the siyi touched and caused to reflect ,ike polished mirrors. Soon everything was replaced, the old woman departed, and quiet brooded over the old farmhouse once more. Next day John was to return home to 0 , and Aunt Susan was to accompany him, "for the double purpose of paying her sister—John’s mother— a visit, and witnessing the ceremony which should give to John a wife.

This wedding was very near to hei heart; first, because she loved John very dearly, and second, because he had bought a lovely little nest of a home close by her house and was, after a reasonable trip, to bring his young wife here, under Aunt Susan’s motherly wing, while he began his career as a lawyer in the brisk little village near by. Nothing short of the immense importance of this event could have induced the good woman to commit the daring act of risking her neck upon a railroad ; for the twenty-mile journey was as formidable to her, with her old-time notions, as would a visit to India be to a town-bred man. The morning arrived, and Aunt Susan, with many injunctions and cautions, at last took her place in the wagon which was to convey her to the depot. JohD delayed a few moments to take special parting with Uncle PhiL Whal was said no one heard save the partiee interested ; but John’s low words called forth a series of energetio words from his uncle, and a dry, hard chuckle, betraying an unusual amount of interest. The journey ended safely, and Auni Susan was beginning to feel at home on springs, and to sleep in spite of the noise on the street, when a letter from home pompletely upset the good womsn, and

threatened to start her on her homeward track without delay. “ The house has been robbed,” wrote Unde Phil. “ I was down to see Marthy”—his sister—“ and it sot in tc storm so hard I stayed alt night. Wall, when I got home I thought things looked sorter qneer, and sure enough, I found lots of things gone. The bureau in the buttery, and all the things outen the summer kitchen, a whole lot of brass things from the stairway closet, and nc end of fixin’s all o7er. I can’t see,” wTotie the old gentleman, “as any close or silver has been took, and I guess the thieves must hev knowed of your bargains and come for them special. I’ve heard they set stores by them in big {daces. I reckon at a rufT gess we’ve ost about five burows, three sophiea and six or seven parlor stoves, to say nothing of cliiny nn>l brass tilings.” To say that Aunt Susan was stunned would be but faintly to express her state of mind; but she determined John’s happiness should not be dimmed by her anxiety, and so by a great effort she succeeded in overcoming her despondency and assuming a cheerful face. The wedding day came . and passed. John and Mary were bound in the holy bonds of wedlock, and had departed on their bridal trip. Aunt Susan lingered a few days to complete some purchases, then returned to the even tenor of her quiet home, and waited with what patience she could for John’s return. Unde Phil was waiting too—silently, but no less anxiously. In fact, a little air of mystery hung over the old house and hid shyly away amidst the wrinkles of the kindly old faces of its excellent owners. Uncle Phil had some secret he did not tell Aunt Susan, and Aunt Susan had some secret sho did not confide to Uncle Phil, and, stranger still, each was so engaged with his own as to be perfectly oblivious of the other’s possession. Only one person saw, understood, enjoyed and remained silent—LJncle Phil’s sister, Martha. _ The summer’s heat slowly died out, and autumn was beginning to paint the tree-tops in the glories of red and gold, when John wrote that he was coming with his wife to take up his home in the little house. They were to remain at Uncle Phil’s till their house was ready. Of course everything was on tip-toe. Aunt Susan caused a supply of pies and cakes to be baked that would have victualed a man-of-war; while Uncle Phil spent the entire day skaking out buffalo robes, and polishing up the old carriage and wagon. Train time came; so did John and Mary, and the old people drove them home from the depot with great pride, under the scrutinizing gaze of the entire village eye, so to speak. Tea was soon ready, but not so soon but Uncle Pliil had found time to divulge his secret to John, for from the woodhouse* came a low murmur of voices, with now and then a hearty peal of laughter in John’B clear voice mingled with Unole Phil’s low guffaw. Twice did Aunt Susan call out and demand to know the joke, and twice did she get her trouble for her pains, for no hint was given. After tea the whole party strolled down to the new house. Now it was Aunt Susan’s turn. With a proud step she marched ahead and opened the door of the house, a faint flush on her withered cheek. Mary followed closely, but Phil and John stood rooted in the hall, staring blankly and stupidly into the little parlor. Certainly there was nothing there which ought to frighten two full-grown men—only four or live bureaus of somewhat antique design, several tables with massive pedestals and claw feet, two sofas large enough to accommodate the “ pre-historic man” we hear about, and a goodly assortment of clocks, andirons, shovels, etc. “ You don’t seem to be pleased,” said Aunt Susan in a crestfallen manner, her kind old voice trembling a little. “Now I thought you would bo tickled about to death with them. I found them all in C (Uncle Phil and John exchanged guilty looks), and I was so took aback at losing mine, and I noticed you looked kinder red and ext up the.morning the news come, so I thought to myself, Now l’il just buy those for you, John. This here burow”—placing her hand lovingly on a large and imposing piece of furniture—“ did look so exactly like the one I bought of Squire Thomas and had in my buttery, that I couldn’t help getting it. You know you kinder vyanted it, John, the night it came home, and I ulus felt sorter mean that I didn’t give it to you then; so as soon as I sot my eyes on this one I up and bought it and sent it down with the rest, unbeknown to anybody, so as to surprise you. You didn’t suspect, did you, Phil ?” But Uncle Phil was still speechless, and even John’s ready tongue refused to Jo its work. While they yet stood, a silent and crestfallen group, a shrill, high treble broke upon the silence, and Aunt “Murthy” came walking in. “ Wall! I do say you look meccliing enough ! 1 told you, Phil, that Susan would find you out! I thought I should bust when Susan went to Caleb to go down to the depot and haul up these things just ten days after he hauled um down, though, as fur that, ’twas dark enough when he took um clown, being night—”

At this awful stage John recovered himself sufficiently to confront Aunt Martha and by dint of winks and nods make her understand that she was mak ing a mess of it. Poor “Marthy” stared, a 3 openmouthed as the rest; but the warning had come too late ; Aunt Susan was by no means slow, and the whole plot was as plain as daylight to her. “ And so, Philip Wheeler,” she burst out with withering scorn, “you thought ’twould be fine fun to deceive me with your trumpt-up story of thieves that has made the shivers run down my back every night since I came home! Oh, you needn’t say nothin’ ” —as Uncle Phil attempted to speak—“ it’s mity nonest, tnebbe, and does great credit to your profession. As fur you, John, I wouldn’t have bel’ved you would hev treated your old auntie in such a way. You ken take them old things and send um back to 0 ; I hate the sight of um ! ” And Aunt Susan fairly broke down, and, bowing her head on Mary’s shoulder, burst into a shower of tears which caused Uncle Phil and John to feel not only like sneaks and scoundrels, but like midnight assassins and burglars as well.

There was not much to say, but what could be said John said; lie explained that no harm was intended, and that it was but a foolish, boyish trick. And Uncle Phil scratched his head and tried to look boyish, and failed utterly, because he already looked so sheepish and mean. But Mary did just what a warmhearted, clear-headed woman should have done. She kissed Aunt Susan affectionately, and said: *“ Uncle Phil and John meant to play off a good joke on you, but you have turned the tables finely, and I am doubly glad—first, because I do love to get the best of a joke, and secondly, because I doat on these dear, quaint old things. Why, aunty, you have given me treasures ! Just wait till you see how sweet I’ll make this little place look.” And so she did, so quaintly sweet, and altogether charming did the little house grow under her skillful fingers that it became the rage, and the demand for old things was almost as high in the village as it was in our big city, where something always rages. John became a convert at a very early day, and even Uncle Phil said : “ I snum! I didn’t know the o}4 truck could look so kinder soratio.”

To which Aunt Susan would reply : “I- allurs knowed ’twas ’ristocratic, Philip.” They are all very happy, and Aunt Susan has long since forgotten and forgiven John’s little joke.

FOBTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS.

Since the regular election* last year the membership in both the Senate and Honae of the Forty-seventh Congress has undergone notable changes. Three Senatorial seats were vacated by calls to President Garfield’s Cabinet, two others by the resignation of Conkling and Platt, and another by the death of Gen. Bumside. Mr. Windom returns to the Senate; but the other vacancies in that body have been filled by promotion from the House. The whole number of vacancies in the House, by promotion, death or resignation, have been nine, and a special election in Rhode Island. Nov. 22, having filled the last of them, the list of the new Congress is now oomplete.

The Household Recipe.

In tlie information column of some' of our exchanges, the startling assertion that a watermelon may be vanished Mid will keep till Christmas, is still going around. The watermelon is our favorite fruit and we thought last fall that we would vanish one and surprise our friends with it Christmas. The surprise was all right but the melon wasn’t good for much. After the turkey and cranberry sauce had been demolished, we remarked as we sharpened the carving knife on our boot leg, that we would now deal out the fruit. When we shoved the glittering blade through the varnished shell of the watermelon, about a quart of melon juice in a bad state of preservation squirted aroqnd the festive board and stopped the flow of conversation. Yes, you can varniah a watermelon and keep it till next fall, but when you hold, the autopsy you want to have nobody around but the coroner and the embalmer. When we threw that melon over into the alley we remember that it went to pieces like an old seed cucumber thrown against the side of a bam. You can’t always bet on these recipes that yon read in the papers. We remember once of reading that a certain preparation would keep eggs for a year and they would taste better when you peeled them than when they were first picked. We tried it. They seemed filled with malaria when we opened them and they popped like a champagne cork. The family had to move out on a ranch till the affair had blown over. And while we were gone, the coroner broke into the house to see who had been killed and locked up there in order to conceal the crime. Some of these editors who compile recipes for housekeepers don’t know a blano mange from a paletot.— Bdom.er-{ (ing. ~

The First Fellow She’d Had.

’Twas a dull, heavy evening ; the light of the dozen gas jets along the street only served to make the haze and fog visible. The clock just tinkled forth the hour of nine, and with the usual remark that “ ’twas time honest folks were abed,” old McGunnigiggle trudged-on* upstairs, followed by the aged partner of his sorrows and searcher for his joys. “ Don’t you young folks sit up till the morning paper comes, this time, ” shouted she over the banister. “ No-o-o,” replied a sweet voice from the parlor; “we won’t, wiu we?” said she in an undertone. “ Not if I know it,” was the reply. “If the old folks are going to be as sour as this, I guess I’ll skip now,” and he reached for his hat. “See here!” and the girl’s eyes gleamed with earnestness; “you’re the first fellow I’ve had, and you’ve got to put down that hat and set up and court me in good shape. I’m homely, I know, but I can build better bread, iron a bosom shirt handsomer, knit a pair ol stockings quicker, and make one dollar and thirty-seven cents go further than any girl in the village. Them’s my recommendations.” “ That suits me exactly,” and his hat flew into a corner, and that evening the details of the wedding were all arranged. He depended on a girl as smart as that tc get the be.-t of the old folks.

Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” has become so thoroughly established iu public favor that were it not for the forgetfulness of people it would not be necessary to call attention to its power to cure consumption, which is scrofula of the lungs, and other blood diseases, as eruptions, blotches, pimples, uloers and “ liver complaint.”

The old proverbs are great things. At least some folks think they are. One of them says : “A man cannot bite the bottom out of a frying-pan without smutting his nose.” Now what is there clever or remarkable about that? If it had said that a man cannot bite the bottom out of his nose without smutting the frying-pan, or that a man can’t bite the smut off the pan without frying his nose, or something like that, there would be something to it to interest and instruct. —Lowell Citizen.

“ For two years I was a great sufferer from Kidney Complaints. I was unable to attend to my business, and was comfortable only when lying down, at times being in so great distress that I could rest neither night nor day. I had several doctors, but received no benefit from any. I tried about all the medicines advertised for Kidney Complaints, but experienced no relief. Having heard of the wonderful effects of Mrs. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in Female Complaints, and knowing that it was advertised as a remedy for Kidney Complaints, I tried it and began to improve" before the first bottle was taken. I continued the use of the Compound, and In less than three months I was perfectly well, and have not been troubled since. I oonsider it the greatest remedy for Kidney Complaints ever yet discovered. J. P. Howard, No. 29 Park Street, Lynn, Mass. “ Will you please insert this obituarynotice?” asked an old gentleman of a Binghamton editor. “I make bold to ask it because deceased had a great many friends about here who’d be glad to hear of his death.” —Elmira Telegram. The physical ills which are peculiar to women are seldom mentioned, either in conversation or through the press, through false modesty ; and yet the percentage of these diseases are bn the increase. Thousands of women to-day cherish grateful remembrance of the Vegetable Compound, which is prepared by Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, of this city. We learn that more of this preparation is sold in this city than is sold of any other medicine ; and all the world should know of its curative effects. See advertisement in another column.—-Lynn.

Plastic Metal.

A very useful material, which may be described as a metal paste, has recently been invented. It resembles ordinary white metal in appearance, such as is used for lining the bearings of axles in railway carriages or machinery, and it has a hard, close texture, capable of taking on a high polish. Nevertheless, it can be readily pasted on and spread over another metal by means of a hot soldering iron, and it adheres to its baso with great tenacity. It fuses at a temperature of 450 degs. Fahr., and can therefore be readily melted over an ordinary fire. Containing, as it does, neither lead nor spelter zinc, it may be melted over and over again without deteriorating in quality, and this combination of useful poperties must render it a very serviceable article in the colonies, where casting furnaces or c ther foundry appliances are few and far between. A druggist in New Richmond, Ohio, Mr. E. J. Donham, writes us the following : “I consider Dr, Bull’s Cough Syrup one of the very best things m&de. I use it altogether in my pwa family and oan therefor# reoemmend it.”

gocHATKS, at an extreme old age, learned te pUy Jtudy of Latin. Dr. Johnson applied himself to the Dutch language bat a few years before bis death. Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham was nearly fifty yean es age when she diaooverod her Vegetable Compound. By these facts we see thah it is never too late to learn. , , * Some persons are born with * strong natural instinct to be just. But it is also a habit of mind, which may be increased and improved bv study and reflection, and which should be sedulously cultivated. r— % A Connecticut mother learned of her daughter’s contemplated elopement, and on the flight appointed for the flight sh# fmt some laudanum in the girl’s tea. Theatter fell asleep and did not wake up until next morning, and in the meantime Borneo got tired of waiting and went home disgusted. Be goes with anothei girl now.

On Thirty Days’ Trial.

The Voltaic Belt Co., Marshall, Mich., will send their Electro-Voltaic Belts and other Eleotric Appliances oadrial for thirty days to any person afflicted with Nervous Debility, Lost Vitality and kindred troubles, guaranteeing complete restoration of vigor and manhood. Aadress as above without delay, i N. B.—No risk is incurred, as thirty days’ trial is allowed. In French cities extravagance runs riot in dress. Economical and thrifty in other respects, the Frenchwoman will always disburse freely, according to her degree, for purposes of personal adornment, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, the groat medicine for the cure of all female complaints, is the greatest strengtheuer of the back, stomach, nerves, kidnoys, urinary and genital organs of man and woman ever known. Send for oirculars to Lydia E. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. *■' ,r You sot,” exclaimed a poor woman *to her husband, “ you are always at the tavern getting drunk with hot punch, while I am at home with uothing to drink but cold water ! ” “ Gold, you silly jade ! why don’t you warm it? ” Thousands of womon have been entirely curod of the most stubborn cases of female weakness by the use of Lydia E. Pinkliam’n Vogetable Compound. Send' to Mr*. Lydia E. Pinkham, 233 Western Avenue, Lynn, Mass., for pamphlets. A Chicago naturalist stated in his lecture that a black bear could hug a horse to death in three minutes, and the face of every girl in the audience wore a look of doubt and deiianoe.

The highest hopes and interest of the race rest on the purity, health and strength of womanhood. We tako pleasure in referring our readers to tho remarkable efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in all that class of diseases from which women suffer so mubh.

An enlightened mind is not hoodwinked ; it is not shut up in a gloomy Srison till it thinks the wall of its own ungeon tlie limits of the universe, and the reach of its own chain the outer verge of all intelligence. pr is impossible for a woman, after a faithful coarse of treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham’g Vegetable Compound, to continue to suffer from weakness, druggists say. Men and women in Ceylon dress alike. Both wear a sort of petticoat, and, brushing their long black hair from their foreheads, fasten it with combs. They are cowardly, and lie like Yankee peddlers, but treat the old and infirm with respect and kindness.

Worthless Stuff.

Not so fast, my friend ; if you could sea the strong, healthy, blooming men, women and children that have been raised from bods of sickness, suffering and almost death by tha use of Hop Bitters, you would say “Glorious and invaluable remedy.” Bee another column.— Philadelphia Pres*. “ I sat, mister,” said one Yankee to another, “ how came your eyes so allfired crooked ? ” “My eyes ? ” “ Yes. ” “ Why, by sitting between two gals and trying to make love to both at the same time.”

That Terrible

iedigestion and Bick headache will yield readily to Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Mb. Fogg said to his wife : “I will como right back.” The wife gently responded : ‘ ‘ See that you come back right.” Keep your bowels and Kidneys in a healthy state by (house of Kidney-Wort. When a man has the headache, and says “it’s the salmon,” you may safely conclude that he has been “drinking like a fish.”

Consumption Can Be Cured !

Road what Mr. William C. Digges, a merchant of Rowling Green, Va., writes under date April 4th, 1881. He says : I firmly believe that Allen's Lung Balsam will and has cured consumption if taken in time and proper care be taken of the patient both in suitable food and clothing. Six years ago my mother was attacked with pneumonia. The attending physician, “some time after,” told me that the disease had settled on her lungs and that she had Jho consumption. Not believing that a permanent cure" could bo effected, but thinking I might bo able to get an expectorant not containing opium which would ftfford some relief, I inquired of a'druggist at Richmond, Va., if lie lmd any medicine not containing opium, that was a good expectorant. He then recommended Alien’s Rung Balsam, which I purand induced my mother to try. Before she hsll taken the first bottle the improvement in her condition was so marked that I purchased three more bottles. The attending physician, seeing the beneficial effects, recommended its continued use, and in about twelve months her lungs wero pronounced cured. Upon my recommendation many others who had the consumption have been cured. I think you can claim for your medicine the following : Expectoration without irritation, and hea'ing of-the lungs by keeping them free from foreign substances, thus arresting and curing this dread disease. Mr. Digges says ho write* because he wants us to know that Allen’s Lung Bib am is doing good.

RESCUED FROM DEATH. William J. Oonghlin, of Somerville, Meet., ears: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lunge, followed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and waa confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lungaa big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I waa dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Dn. William Hall’s Balsam tor Tint Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surpilse, I oomtnenoed to feel better, and to-day I feel better t han for three years past. I -write this hoping every one nffl cted with diseased lungs will take Db. William Hall's Balsam, and be convinced that consumption can be cured. I can positively say it hat done more good than alj the other wiedlslnes I have taken line# my sickness,

The Attitude of Canada.

The Pall Mall Im, anCeß are almost official, is of tbe^jomion annexationists, even then a large body, were the objects of popular hatred and ] contempt, but during the- past two det cades, the trade relations between the United States,fitdf the Dgwolioii 'have : grown closer ana closer until fne two countries are now commercially one; The grand trunk of railway of Canada' lies half in the United States and half m Portland, Me| tfie greater pprtioji*>f jp|r is the ste£>-* ping port for jptdtfce, aurilffie Canadian iojegytrph system isjpowTAfa branch, of the WflMlfMAffik' circumstanceafSork injuriously t© the interests of tmr Canadians. They see that they bo, greasy benefited by annexation and,, a* a are becoming aniiouh&or the What has nitnefraprevinted tms movemenl from taking some regular shape are the politicians and officeholders. Canada has more polities td*thi fegvane mile than any other country on the face of the globe. -It hae-anelabopoto -judiemry andall the government of a large empire. Union,, with this country, would sweep away, all these officials, and, as a consequeqpe, they oppose it. The Pali Mail Gazette does not say how Great Britain would regard the secession of its A merican domain, but the cool and careless manner in which it treats the subject is good evidence that the British lion would not roar very loud should the Kanucks feee fib to sever their allegiance with the mother country.

Beautifiers.

Ladies, you cannot make fair skin, rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes With all the cosmetics of Franoe, or beautifier* of the world, while in pobr health, and nothing will rgive you such good health, strength, buoyant spinte and beauty as Hop Bitters. A trial is certainproof. See another column. Telegraph.

Genereus Souls.

Liberal poople are generally happy people, and get more enjoyment of what they have than folks 6f churlish minds. Misers never rest till they are put to bed with a shovel. "They often get so wretched that they would haug themselves, only they grudge the expense of a rope. Generous souls are made happy by the happiness of othei s. The money they give to the poor buys them more pleasure than any other that tliey lay out. I have seen men of meagp give coppers, and they have been coppery in everything. They carried on a tin-pot business, lived like beggars and died like dogs. Others, who gave freely of their means to others, were happy and cheerful through life, and, dying as Christians should, felt that they had not lived in vain.

CONSUMPTION.

Importuut to the Public as well ua the Medical I’rofcaaiou. , Hall’t Journal of Health, referring to Gonanmption, makes the following Important statement: “ Consumption usually begins with a slight, dry cough in ths morning; then, oh going to bed, getting more and more frequent, with more and more' phlegm, increasing debility, thinness of flash,, shortness of breath, and quickneas of pulse. In fatal esses it* average eourse is about two yeara ; hrnoe of- arresting the disease at aa early a stage as possible, and sooner rational means are ftiiployfed for this purpose tho greater the chance of snccoes. The disease is owing to an irritation commencing in the throat and extending to the lungs, so tint their action iv interfered with, and tha blood doss not reoeive sufficient oxygen, to purify it. The most marked sign of rungd so .se' is emaciation; and the most positive indication of retimi ng health is increase in weight.” • « j So speaks Hall'i Journal of Health, and we may add that in desperate cases, and, in fact, in all cases of Consumption, or troubles.of the throat and lungs, immedia'.e relief may he obtained And a 'perinaneut cure effected by tho use of Dr. Win. Hall's Balsam fur the Lungs, a medicine known for more than Jthirty-five years os an unfailing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That tho worst cases of Consumption have been cured by the use of Hall's Balsam has boou attosted to by the thousands who have used it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful reined al efficacy.
