The Sad Case of Eli Minch.

Mr. Eli Minch, a rich bachelor, who died in New Jersey a few day# aye, claimed that he had never attended a circus; never played cards, checkers, dominoes, baseball or jrtufiny;, never skated with a girl; never went courting, and never was in love. What did he live for, anyway? Poor Eli Minch! He neveT had the tinfe to play. He never loved a maiden fair; He never rushed, on circus day. Away from duty and from care, Poor Ell Minch! He never held a maiden’s hand While gliding o’er an icy plain, Nor tumbled with a maiden, and Got up with her to try again— Alas! alack for Eli Minch! He Just made money day by day, Poor Ell Minch! And let no dear one come to lay Her cheek against his own and try To get hith woozled up to pay For gimcracks that she wished to buy— Poor Eli Minch! He ne'er bent o'er the checker board Or mourned when faulty moves were made, His only pleasure was to hoard— And now beneath the sod he’s laid, And no one weei,s for Eli Minch. He never knew tha sweet delight— Poor Eli Minch— Of sitting, yyith but little light, Close, close to some enchanting girl And courting her till late at night. And going home, with head awhlrl— Poor Eli Minch— To dream sweet dreams’ of all her charms; He ne’er saw one with wistful eyes As he held out imploring arms Rush into them —with happy sighs— Alas for luckless Eli Minch! He never hurried home at night— Poor Eli Minch— To lisping little ones whose bright Eyes danced with love, whose childish glee Was shouted as he came in sight And pounced upon them hungrily— Poor Eli Minch! His cheeks were never stroked by small, Soft hands that stole out of his own; He piled up wealth, and that was all, And went his loveless way alone— Ah, poor old cheated Ell Minch! —Chicago Record-Herald.

Nearly aixty years ago Dr. Radway first began the preparation of RADWAY’S READY RELIEF for the use of practicing physicians. The general public soon learned the value of this remedy, and it early attained wide popularity. Its name is n„w among the most familiar of household words. After the reputation of the READY RELIEF had become established, Dr. Radway, recognizing the universal demand for a reliable cathartic, began the preparation and sale of RADWAY'S REGULATING PILLS. RADWAY'S RESOLVENT soon followed, and the phenomenal success of these remedies was the wonder of the day. So popular have these preparations become that hardly a ship sails from New York, Boston, San Francisco or any other American port without Including in its cargo a supply of these medicines.
