True Comfort.

There are very few men who have a proper idea of true comfort. It is too often confounded with the mere delights of the flesh. Some mistakenly consider easiness' to be comfdrt. Nothing could be further from the fact. It is impossible to be truly comfortable without occupation, both for mind and body. We recollect hearing of a man whose highest idea of comfort was to go to sleep and dream of swallowing gin-cocktails that were a month long: This, however, is mere sensuality.. There is a man in Terre Haute who seems to have the proper idea of comfort. He lies on the grass in the rear of his house, under the shade of a fine elm tree, and entertains his wife by reading the newspaper aloud to her while she saws logs and chops them tip into fire wood to cook the dinner. There is no time wasted here. The mind is exercised and information is gained, while the wife is at the’same time kept thoroughly posted on current events. That man knows, how to enjoy himself, and is not selfish enough to keep all his enjoyment to himself either. —Eichanae.

—Two fellows committed a heavy robbery in New York, the other day. They entered a bank and while one of them held a paper before the cashier’s face, ostensibly to show him some stock reports, the other seized a tin box which, from its weight, should have contained at least $20,000, and made off. On opening the box, they found about 100 most excellent cartridges for a large bore shot gun. Consumption.—For th,e cure of this distressing disease there has been no medicine yet discovered that can show more evidence of real merit than Allen’s Lung Balsam. This uneq naled expectorant, for curing Consumption and all diseases leading to il, such as affections of the Throat, Lungs, and- all diseases of the’Pulmonary Organs, ' 8 introduced to the suffering public, after its merits for the positive cure of such diseases have been thoroughly tested by the medical faculty. The Balsam Is, consequently, recommended by physicians who have become acquainted with its great success,

Criminal Secrecy-Mtm martinets of the medloal profession insist that It ,TB neath the dignlty ot a regular physician tfl advertise. If a member of the faculty should discover an, .absolute remedy for any disease it would be Ji breach of frofessional decorum to offer the specific for sale through the Journals of the day. Scorning such prejudices one of our leading practitioners is now making known to the pttbllc through the columns of over thifee thousand newspapers, one of the most comprehensive readies for disease that WM evdt , assuaged sufferings of humanity. i>h. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters, although comparatively a new medicine, has already attracted the attention of millions in both hemispheres. It has been advertised through all the channels accessible to advertising enterprise, and the result has been the preservation of thousands of lives, and the prevention of an untold amount of physical torture. Dr. Walker thinks that the “greatest good of the greatest number” is the true object of medical science, and hence he Steps boldly out of the cofitracted circle of professional exclusiveness, and places his Great Restorative within the reach cf Ml.. Its beneficial effect in casesof chronic dyspepsia, biliousness, kidney disease, gout, diseases of throat find lungs, rheumatism, nervous complaints, find all disorders of the secretive and excretivfe ofgUni, is beyond all estimate. < Have the readers of this paper ever used any of Pttrson' s Purgative Ptlls? if not, why not? they arc the best family physic, besides being the greatest anti-bilious remedy thereis in this country. , A Neglected Cough, Cold, or Sore Throat, which might be checked by a simple remedy, like “BrowfFs Bronchial Troif allowed to progress may terminate seriously.
