TG, All, PARTICULARLY INVALIDS, - Spring is a trying season. Indications of sickness. shonld at once be attended to. Fatal diseases; may be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disordered condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, is 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 so harmless and decisive in its action. It at once strikes at the root of the digease and produces a healthy tone to the system. Peopie never need suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they wonld take this excellent medicine when they feel the firse indications of the malady. Familiesleavinghome for the summer months should take three or four boxes‘of these pills with them. . They have 2n 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 eflectually preventa bilious attack. They are sold by altdruggists. i

- He Says 1t Is True. ) SenEcA Faris. Nov. 9, 1876, Mz. H. R, STEVENS : Dear Sir—As you are an entire stranger to me, I want you to know what VEGETINE has done for me. Only those who have been raised from death’s door can know the value of such a good medicine, 1 am 58 years of age. Three years ago I was taken sick with what the doctors called Lumsaco. For weeks I was. confined te mybed. I had three different physieians, without. any help. 1 received no relief: I'was g great sufferer: finally I became entirely helpless. The last doctor told me there was ne help; he said he might possibly save my life by ejecting morphine jn my arms and legs. The encouragement for saving my life by having this done was so small a chance I conld not gon—‘sent to run the risk. About this time my son read your adyertisemeént in our paper, a testimony of a person who had been very sick with about the same complaint, and was cured. My sonwent right awayto the apothecary store and purchased a bottie' of VEGETINE. Beforel had used the first hottle I found great relief; I could move myself in bed. . After taking three bottles I was able to sit up and move about myroom. I continued taking the Vegetine, andl wasin a few weeks restored to my former health. The VEGETINE sayed my life after the physicians said there was no help for me. I have had no doctor since. Ifl feel unwell I take-a dose of Vegetine, and I recommend it to my friends. Your Vegetine ought to be in every family. My doctor was surprisffd to see me in good health, He says VEGETINE 18 a good medicine,: I tell him it ecured me. He says, “itis trne,” I cannot feel too thankful, Very grate{ully yours, : Mrs. CATHARINE CQONS, Seneca Falls, Seneca County, N. ¥, . - '

VEGETINE. ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. If VeGETINE wiil relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such: diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians. many remedies, suflering for years, is it ngt conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be cnred? ‘Whyisthis medicine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating finid. It can'truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of.disease originatesin the blood; and no medicine, that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. : : - VEGETINE ¥ o .

I took it, and the result was very satisfactory. I have taken a good many remedies for the Canker Humor, and none seemed to help me'but VEGETINE. There is no doubtin my mind that every one suffering with Canker Humor can be cured by taking VEGETINE.

PUSSY’S PRAYER. BY HESTER A, BENEDICT. “I wonder what’s become of that sack of peas?” mused Alexander Snook, loud enough for his wife to hear distinctly every word he said, though he was in the pantry, and she was out in the woodshed hunting for the hammer, which usually had a place of its own on one of the joists, but was then nowhere to be found.

“It’salways the way!” continued he, in, the grieved tone that some men and-many women know well how to assume. “I never can put a thing, away, ready for use, but'it’s sure to be | toted off;' and T’'m tired of it.” . = | “Tired of what, Alex ?” Mrs. Snook inquired, innocently, coming into the kitchen with the washboard tucked under one bare arm, and some sticks: of maple wood on the other. : ! She knew 'very ‘well of ‘what- her husband was tired, and he had been talking at her all the time; but.each was playing -a' part, in a small way, and candor compels me to admit that each didexcellently. But then the play had been on the boards a good many years, and the little talent that each possessed in that line had a: very good chance for development. : “Tired of what!”—the man repeated the words after his wife, very des-' pairingly, as he kept on rummaging among the bottles and packages of varipus sorts en the top sheif of the pantry. *“Why, tired of having to hunt, and hunt, and hunt for an hour, every time I wans anything, and then of not finding it. I.put them peas on that shelf, done up in‘:a paper.bag, and all ready for sowing; and now that the ground is ready, and my man waiting, they’renowhere to be found.” “When did you put them there, Alex?” very coolly ihquired Mrs. Snook. A 5 :

*“When ? Why last fall, to-be-sure ?” ~ “And you expected them to lie there untouched till sowing-time, I suppose?” . - ; ; “Of course I did! Why shouldn’t I?,’ i 5 .id . : 'r' i Mrs. Snogk walked -indignantly across the.room, Hlinging the washboard into the tub, and splashing the suds over the head of a little girl who was buttoning her’' boots by the window. ! .

“Oh, mamma, see!” cried the child, lifting her.pretty face, that was flecked with the white foam of the avater —“you’ve just soused me!” ; “Never mind,” said the mother, taking a crash towel from its roller, and ‘wiping the upturned face tfnderly.“What is it, pet ?” inquired the father, forgetting all about the peas. | “Oh, nothing,” pet answered, pulling vigorously at the topmost button, which was set too far back for the good fof tlie chubby little leg —“noth+ ing, only a little bit of suds,” added the truthful ehild., / / / -~ ¢I wish you'd be more careful, Matilda,” whined the man. “It might have got in herieyes.” .- : - “And made them all the brighter,” interrupted Matilda, “Therg’s no danger of my hurting my own child, I guess. If:you think there is, why youw'd better—" e L Mrs, Snook got no further in the items of her coungel, for the little qne broxe in: e ! -

~ “I know where the peas are, papa,”’ “You know, chit?”—the one child of Alexander and Matilda Snook had a hundred pet names—“that’s funny! How should yow know ?” . “Why, I saw them, papa. Don’t you remember—in your bureau drawer, where you was a-hunting for something, oh, a good while ago? And I saw the cunning little paper bag, and I said, “What’s: in there, papa?’ and you told me ‘Peas, honey !’ and I "member just so ea-sy-—-as easy as noffin’ at all!” . i “It% so, by Jove! I remember, too, now. I'd have sworn that I putthem on the buttery shelf, though.”

The man went.into his bed-room, and coming back, proceeded to empty the contents of the pa'per-bag into ‘one of muslin, with strong strips attached, that he took from 'the table where a pile of wet clothes was lying. . : “I declare, this bag’s as wet as sop!” grumbled he—*“a pretty thing to tie to a fellow!” _ : . .“A fellow shouldn’t; have left it there, then !”—the woman’s eyes were snapping dangerously~*“but I suppose yowll say it’s all my doings? That’s the . way with men, the world over; and women have a tough time of it—my way of thinking.” B . “Humph ?” from the throat of Alexander. :

And ‘something egually contemptuous would have fallen from kLis lips. that were curled scornfully, had he not seen the look on his ‘child’s face just then. As it was, he drew his hat down over his eyes, kissed the red lips of his darling, and went out into the sunshine. : e

I don’t like to write about unpleasant people, or things. 'Qne feels so stifled in an atmosphere’ of pretty, meanness, whether of act'or of speech! and if one’s duty could be always done as well talking only of things that are tenderly beautiful, and of lives that are like good words to grand tunes set, one’s pulses would“be ever so much the lighter, and one would feel ever so much warmer about the heart, you know, i But this cannot be! The hard things, the ‘wrong, bitter things.of life are, and we could not ignore them if we would. They look out upon us from hovel and from ‘hall, from luxury and from labor, with eyes that plead for something we fain would give; and so, with a cry for wisdom and for strength, we do the little that we may, leaving the rest with God. Mr. and Mrs. Snook. were only types of a Yarge class, who are always: §)utting from them chanceg of happi--less, without meaning to do anything of the kind. They owned the lang‘ they lived on, and their home was a neat little cottage, behind high maples and walls of jessamine, that kept the small rooins sweet the whole summer long; and there was ho reason why they should not be content and glad. But contentment and gladness were things-that neither had known: anything about—long at.'a time—for many, many years. Ile irritated her; she him. Not in a large, tumultuous way,but in continuous little frets, so much harder to bear and tg forgive; and each was about as migergble as men and women can well be, with plenty to eat, drink and wear, and a good shelter over their heads, but with unsatisfied, chafing, starved hearts. el S

“Mamma,” pet said, softly, after her father had disappeared around the corner of the barn, and the mother had gorfe back to her washing, with a big lump in her throat, “did you and papa ever love each other ?” » It was a strange question. Mrs. ook turped quickly, and the bar of soap in her hand dropped with a tt}u% to the white-oak floor.' Patches o red and white came gnd went on her face, that was by no manner of means a plain one, and her eyes opened wider than the child had ever seen them. = . . . “Why, yes, child?” she answered,

'soon as her breath camg “What makes you ask ?” el he “Y wag a-thinking—” the child evad ed, witﬁo’ub meaning to. & " “Thinking what?” L / “You know I was down to grajdma’s yesterday, and aunt Jane ind uncle Will seemed so happy togetler,” the little one continued, keepingher eyes fixed on the bread she was crumbling into a bowl of fresh milk: for her breakfast. “Once, whey auntie was tucking up my curls uncle put his arm around her and kissed her right on her eyes, that haﬁ tears in thern; and when they wer{ gone— ‘ uncle and auntig, you know—randma said:, ‘What makes you so sp{)rer, pussy ?” And—you won’t blathe me, mam-" maz el frif By

The Asher estate case reported as being tried at Indianapolis last week, came to a sudden termination upon ‘the showing of the hand of the detfendant.

As soon as the attorneys on' the payt of ‘the estate got a chance ta present some letters written by Mrs. Hunter after the date of the note, in which she referred to debts she.and her husband were owing Mr., Asher, the plaintiff’s attorneys threw up the case, and a dismissal was entertained.
