Whenever I took a fresh cold it would settle in my head, causing the most violent sneezing,accompanied by excessive discharges from my eyes and nose, For days and days my suffering would be interse, and finally settling in my loins and bowels, would render my life miserable for a month. Never, during all my sufferings, was I able te oblain even temporary relief from any medicine I ever tried. Three weeks ago, while suffering from the worst attack I ever had, I procured a bottle of SANrorD’Ss RAn10AE CURE FOR CATARRH. The relief ffom the first dose was go gratifying that I would willingly have given one hundred dollars to obtainit. A few botties completely cured me. My head has since been perfectly -free from mucous accumulations, my breathing easy, and not a symptcm of trouble about my back and bowels has presented itself.— Its effect in my case has been truly remarkable. .

TO All, PARTICULARLY INVALIDS, Spring is a trying season. Indications of sickness should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disorderéd condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care, i 8 an old and truthful saying.— Therefore we advise all who are troubled with the complaints' now very .prevalent—headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, naurea, or feverish skin, to take, without delay, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy 8o harmless and decisive in its action. It at once strikes at the.root of the disease and produces a healthy tone to thesystem. People never need suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition o{the liver if they wonld take this excelent medicine when they feel the firse indications of the malady. Familiesleaving home for the su%mer months should take three or four boxes of these'pills with.them. They have an almost instantaneous effect. They will relieve the patient of headache In one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effectnally preventa bilious attack, They are sold by all druggists. &

MEk. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir—About 10 years ago my health failed through the depleting effects of dyspepsia, nearly a year later I was attacked by typhoid fever inits worst form, it settled in my back and took the form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was 15 months ;in gathering. I had two surgical operations, by the best skill in the State but received no permanent cure. 1 suffered great pain at times and wae constantly weakened by a profgge discharge. lalso lost emall pieces of bone at different times. Matters ran on thus about seven yearg,till May, 1874. when a friend recommeénded me to go fo .your office and talk with youa on the virtue ofVegetine. I didso, andl by your kindness passed bhrouqh your manufactory, noting the ingredi'uts, etc., by which your remedy is produced. * By what I saw and heard I gained some confidence in Vegetine, = .\ : I'commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from its effects; still I persevered and goon felt, it was benefitting me in other respects. . Yet I did not see the rsﬁlts I desired, till [ had taken it faithfully for ittle more than a year, when the difficulty in the back was cured, aid for Y months. I have enjoyed the bést of health. 2 I have in that timé gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, heing heavier than ever before in my life. and I was nefer more able to perform labor thén now. ! z

During the past few weeks had a scrofulous swelling az large as my fist gather on another part of my body. * . I took Vegetine faithfully. and it removed it fevel with the surface in a month, 1 think I should have been cured of my main trouble sooner if I had taken lar%er doses, after having become accustomed to its effects, Let your patrons troubled with serofula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to earg chronic eigeases, and if they will patiently take Vegetine, it will. in my judgwent, care them. i With great obligations § am, -~ 4 Yours ver; truly, | G.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1877.

PRAISE YOUR WIFE. A Sketch :for Husbands., ‘Andrew Leehad come from hisshep, where' he had worked all day, tired and out of spirits, came home to his wife, who was also out of spirits. “A smiling wife and a cheerful home —a paradise it would be!” said Andrew to himself, as he turned his eyes from the clouded face of Mrs. Lee and set down with knitted brows .and moody aspect. - 3 : Not a word - was spoken by either. Mrs. Lee was getting supper, and she moved about with weary step. o " “Come,” she said at last; with asidé glance at her husband. | 1 There was invitation in the word only; but none in the voice of Mrs. TLee.

Andrew arose and went to the table. He was tempted to speak an angry word, but controlled himself and kept silent. He could find no fault with the chop-and the home-made bread; or the fragrant tea. They would have cheered his inward, man if there had been only a gleam of sunshine on the face of his wife. Ie noticed that she did not eat. ; ‘

- “Are you not well, Mary?” The words were on his lips, but he did not utter them, for the voice of his wife looked so repellant that he feared an irritable reply. And so, in moody silence, the twain sat until Andrew finished his supper. ! ; As bhe pushed the chair back, his wife arose and commenced clearing off the table.; : g

“This is purgatory!” said Andrew to himself, as he commenced walKing the floor of their breakfast room, with his hands thrust in his trousers’ pockets and his chin almost touched his breast. 3 S

After removing all the dishes and taking them into the kitchen, Mrs. ' Lee spread a green cloth on the table, and 'placing a fresh-trimmed lamp thereon, went out and shut the door after her, leaving her husband alpne with his unpleasant feelings. -He took a long, deep breath as she did so, paushed in his walk, stood still for 'some moments, and then drawing a paper from his pocket, sat down by the table, opened the sheet, and com‘menced reading. Singularly enough, the words upon;which his eyes rested were, “Praise yéur wife.” They rath?f tended to increase the disturbance t mind from which he was then suffering. - Fi “I should like to find some occasion for praising mine:;” How quickly his thoughts expressed that ill-natured sentiment. His eyes were on the pages before him and he read on. “Praise -your wife, man; : for pity’s sake give her a little encouragement; it won’t hurt her.” | 5 * Andrew Leeraised his eyes from the paper and muttered: “Oh, yes; that’s all very well. Praise is cheap enough; but praise her for what? For being sullen and making your home one of the most disagreeable places in the world¥” His eyes felliagain on the paper. : : “She has made your home comfortable; your heart bfight and shining, your food agreeable; for pity’s sake tell her you thank her, if nothing more; shedon’t expect it; it will make her eyes open wider than they have for years; but it will do her good for all that, and you too.” - S

It seemed to, Andrew as if this sentence was written tor him, and just for the occasion. It was a complete answer to his question, “Praise her for what ?” and he feltit alsoasa rgbuke. He read no further, fcr thoughtanie too busy and in a new direction. N - ory was convicting him of injustice to his wife; she had always made his home as comforable as' her hands could make it, and had he!offered the light retyrn of praise or commendation? Had he ever told her of the satisfaction he had known or the comfort he had exFerienceﬁ? He was not able to recall the time or occasion; as:-he thought thus, Mrs. IL.ee came in from the kitchen, and taking her workbasket from the closet, placed it on the “table, and siting down without speaking, began to sew. Andrew Lee glanced almost stealthily at the work in her hands and saw it was the bosom of a shirt which she was stitching neatly. He knew it was for him that she was at work. | !

‘“Praise your 'wife.” The words were before the eyes of his mind and he could not look away from them; but he was not ready for this yet. Hestill felt moody and unforgiving. The expression on his wife’s face he interpreted to mean ill-nature, and with ill-nature he had no patience. Hiseyes fell upon the mewspaper that lay spread out before him, and he read the sentence: :

“A kind, cheerfyl word spoken in, a gloomy house, is the little rift in the cloud which lets the sunshine peep through.” B : " Lee struggled with himself a while longer; his own ill-natyre had to be conquered first; his moody, accusing spirit had to be subdued. He thought of many things to say and yet he feared to say them, lest his wife would meet his advances with a eold rebuff. At last, leaning toward her and taking hold of the linen bosom upon which she was at work, he said in a voice carefully modulated with kindness: “You are doing this work very beautifully, Mary.” . : i - Mrs. Lee made no reply, but her husband did not fail to observe:that she lost almost instantly that rigid erectness with which she had been sitting and that the motion of her needle ha? cease% . “Myshirts gre hetter made and look whiter-than those of any other man in the shop,” said Lee, encouraged to go on. R ; ;

“Are they?” Mrs. Lee's voice was low, and had in it a stight huskiness she didn’t turn her face, but her husband saw that she leaned a little toward him. . He had broken the ice of reserve and all was easy now. His /hand was among the clouds and a few ‘feeble rays were already struggling through the rift it had made. ©. “Yes, Mary.” he answered softly; “and I've heard,it said more than once what a good wife Andrew Lee must have.” s ! i

Mrs, Lee turned her face toward her husband, There was a light in her eye; but there was something in the expression of her countenancethat a little puzzled him, : “Do you think 8o ?” she asked quite soberly. : , “What a question!” ejaculated Andrew Lee, starting up and goinground to the side of the table where she was sitting. *What a question, Mary!” he replied, as he stood before her. i

“Really, do you?” It was all Mary dald,” o “Yes, darling,” was his warmly spoken answer, and he stooped dawn and kissed her—*How strange that ygu Ishould ask me such a question as this)” | i : “If you would only tell me so now and then, |Andrew, it would do me good.” . T Mrs, Lee arose, and leaning her face against the manly breast of her hus. band, stood and wept, : 2 'What a strong light broke in upon

the mind of Andrew Lee; hehad never given his wife even the small reward of praise for all the loving interest she had manifested daily, until doubt ot his love had entered her soul and made the light all around her thick darkness. No wonder that her face grew clouded, nor what he eonsidered moodishness and ill-nature took possession of her spirit.. : : “You are good and true, Mary, my own dear wifes 1 am proud of you—l love you, andmg:;?m&dg@jw. is for your happiness. O, ‘if I always see your face in sunshine, my. home would be the dgarest_ place on earth.” - ’ “How precious to me are your words of love and praise, Andrew,” said Mrs.. Lee, smiling through her tears into his face. “With them in my ears my. heart can never lie in shadow.” How easy had been the work for Andrew Lee. ehad swept his hand across the doudy horvizon, and now the bright sunshine was streaming and flooding that home with joy and beauty, ' ¢ ; :

On the first of these points Mr. Evarts avoﬁved himself in favor of a bi-, métallic standard, butidoubted the expediency of at present advocating it in terms. This probably explains the guarded manner in which he dealt with the subject at-the Chamber of Commerce dinner. With reference to. free ships he was more. decided, and appeared to think the country ready to abandon the ship builders of New | England. It will be noticed thaf inhis speech, while he does not say so, he does say that our foreign commerce is in the handsof the general government, and free from local jealousies. The new step in free trade with regard to cottor machinery, is part of the new southern policy of the administration. = Senator Gordon, Senator Lamar, and ethers, have been actively pushing some such enterprise, and a bill to this end would have Dbeen ‘ brought before the extra session. It may come before the.session next fall as an administration measure. 1

_ Some utterances from Mr. Evarts gnd other members of the, Cabinet, lead to tgfa conclysion that Hayes may recommend a general revisiort of the tariff in his: message, looking to the placing of a number of articles on'the free list, and'converting ad valorem into specific duties so far as practicable.. .An elaborate report by the Parsee, J. S. Moore, is now in preparation on this subject, and may form the basis of a bilintroduced-and pressed by ti}se administration, an administration whose monetary and foreign policy is under .the control of New York and Ohio, and not New England. »

“CANKER IN THE BUD.” You watch its development with ex;pectant solicitude—the choice, exqui-sitely-moulded bud which promises to unfold with the perfect flower. You ‘perhaps think how it will adorn the drawing-room vase, and anticipate the pleasure of showing it to your flower-. loving friends, Butsome morning you. find it¢ head drcoping, its fragrance fled, and an ugly purple spot on one of thel delicately-tinted petals. I is the poet’s “canker in the bud.” low often the loathsome canker blights the cherished “infant blossoms’ in our household .gardens—those human buds which give earnest of a brilliant future. The noisomé canker, so long con-‘cealed-—scrofula—at length reveals its dreaded presence and to our bright hopes succeeds the most aFornizing fear, for we know the fatal sequel it porit;ends——_p"ulmunzu‘y consumption.— It is estimated by eminent medical authorities that at least one-fifth of mankind are afllicted with'this insidious malady, But its ravages are so secret, that even its victims are unaware of its presence until it suddenly discloses itself in some of its myriad and oftentim®s fatal forms. A slight cutaneous eruption is oftén the only indicator of its presence. The only means of exterminating, this disease from tge Sys-| tem is by a thorough course of ¢onstitutional treatment. This treatment must fylfill three indications, namely, promote nutrition, alter or purify the blood, and arrest disorganization of the tissues and the formation of tubercles. . No more efficient alterative can be employed for these purppses than Dr. Pierce’s Golden Meédical Dis-! covery. While imparting strenth and tone to the digestive organs it cleanses the blood and heals the diseased tissues, Test its virtues ere the deadly canker has blighted the life you prize. et < ER——— . i

I have joinedthe club; I have put on the red ribbon; I will not disgrace the club; ¥ will ‘not: break my pledge, but stand firm.” Col.

I thought my health was failing when I first stopped drinking, but now my health is better, and I find I had only been making a fool ofmymelf. i |y 0 ‘Major Richards; *I am no speaker, but I will say this in favor of this red ribbon movement, that it shows great unison, every oue working together.” Major rordon said: il came here to show myself as a friend o this red ribbon moyement, When'l look back through my past'life I ¢an recall no time I enjoyed sol much as the year 1853, the whole of which I devoted to temperance, A man ean resist this temptation if he will, Idonot believe in a man saying he can not, for he can dvhewil . s e The pledge was opened and 150 signatyres obtained.

Y., the extreme northern part of the State, have rendered hundreds of persons homeless.. At Stackpole Forge, Cannon’s Corners, and Center Valley, where the fires rage fiercest, the people are fleeing in everydirection, frequently barely escaping with their lives. At the latter place, 27 dwellings with barns attached to most of them, six saw-mills, two stores and one church were awept away; also, a large quantity of lumber, including over half a million finished shingles. The fires are still raging over an immense area of woodland, with nosigns of rain to'quench them. The entire property of Stackpole Forge was swept away.

Telegraph wiré@s are upon the ground, railroad trains run cautiously, while dt the spot where Clinton Mills formerly stood, all communication is cut off. At Ellenburg the fire has raged in the woods, not more than a mile from town. Tuesday night of last week the telegraph operator reported the fire still burning, but no wind blowing.

It literally “works wonders.” The botanic ingredients which. its spirituous basis holds in solution, act like a charm upon the, stomach, and through the stomach wp-; on the brain, liver, bowels and nérvous system. There is nothing in itg coniposition that is not salubrious. It contaims some of the most potent tonics of the vegetable kingdom and the juices of the best aparient and antibillious roots and herbs,combined with a perfectly pure stimulating element. The Bitters are peculiarly adapted 'to those. engaged in exhausting or unhealthy occupations, as by its use strength is sustained and the ability of the system to resist atmospheric and. other influences prejudicial to health largely increased. 2-BW.

A Tittle girl named Grace Mayer, of } Phillipsburg, as she -passed a blacksmith shop had her clothes ignited by | a fire kindled in front of the shap, and | was badly burned. Every year hundreds of women suffer horrible deaths and painful deformities by having their clothes set on fire in one way or an other, but mostly by coming in contact with the stove while cooking, or with the fire while boiling soap, ete., -0r by the explosion of coal oil lamps. It becomes a guestion, , therefore, whether women ought to wear clothes that thus expose them to injury and death. Fashion has such a power over both men and women that it is altogether .improbable that a change in female attire could be effected ,and if one in every hundred women would thus lose her life. - Nevertheless, the serious importance of the subject requires & corresponding serious consideration. iy L 'y "The Hon.

It is believed that the invention of the speaking telqphone will eventually lead scientific men to a knowledge of some instrument by which the deaf may be made to hear words-and distinguish' musical sounds; so that the telephone, which is now considercd and treated much like a curious, interesting, scientifically constructed;toy, will bring joy and a new sense to the poor unfortunates who have by disease or accident lost their hearing.
