Conversing Under Difficulties.

We were coming down White street this morning when we overtook an old gentleman in a cart. The vehicle was springless, and asit jolted ovef the stones every revolution of the wheels was a hailstorm. We nodded to him, and he nodded back. “ A nice day,” we suggested in a raised voice. “ Hey?” he screamed. “A nice day,” we roared. “ O yes,” he shouted. “A good corn day. How’s business—prit.ty good?” “ Very good,” we answered. “ Hey?” “ Very good,” we yelled. “ Glad to hear it,” he said, ana then relapsed into silence, and we hurried on, as people were showing altogether too m#ch interest in our efforts to be heard. “ What do you think of that feller over in England who walks on the water?” he suddenly exploded. We had to fall back with the pace of the cart. “ He’s a wonderful chap,” we said, in hopes that that would satisfy him. “Hey?” “ He’s a wonderful chap,” we yelled. “So he is. How do you s’pose he does it?” “ He wears rubber clothes, and a hatchet,” we suggested, at the top of our voice. “ What kind of clothes?” People were raising their windows now, and we were beginning to feel desperate. Robber;” we roared. “ Oh, rubber, eh ? And that keeps him up, eh?” “ Yes.” “ Hey?” “ Yes,” we shrieked. “Yes, yes? Yes what?” “ You asked us if rubber was what kept him up, and we said yes,” we explained, in a key of voice that brought the merchants and their customers out on the walk in spite of the rattle of the cart. “What’s that? I didn’t quite make out,” he shouted. „ Then we went out on the roadway, and took the horse by the head, and brought the whole establishment to a stand-still, and then explained just what we had said. “ Ah, I see; it’s ft wonderful thing, a most wonderful thing,” he said, and then added: “It must have been the caff going over the stuns which kept me from a hearin’ of you, but I was afraid at first that you were sick andcouldn’t speak up.” We are not of a particularly demonstrative turn, but When We again notice an acquaintance in a springless cart on a I rough, pavement we shall step down the

first cellar-way and take position back of a barrel until he is out of sight.—Danbury News. m• w • Glad Tidings for the Slaves of King Alcohol. How many a manly form is,palsied; how many a noble mind is destroyed; how many a priceless soul lost through the curse of strong drink! To the despairing victims of the Satanic tyrant, Alcohol, whose shattered nerves and trembling limbs and racking headaches seem to find no relief except in the. renewed use of the fatal poison which brings them every day nearer to their miserable end, we announce glad tidings of great joy! Du. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters contain not a single drop of alcohol in any form, but are a sovereign remedy for the ills of drunkenness. They restore tone and strength Jo the system, and entirely eradicate the pernicious appetite for liquor. Try a few bottles of Vinegar Bitters and you will never crave strong spirits again,' but find your health repaired, your mind restored, and be once more a man in, the best sense. Health is cheap when Vinegar Bitters are $1 a bottle. * 40 Without reflecting upon other Advertising Agencies, we may say that Geo. P. Rowell & Co., No. 41 Park Row; New York, are deserving of success, and have achieved success. They do business on true business principles, pay on demand all that they agree to pay, and combine untiring energy with promptness, system and carefulness in details. From a small beginning they now stand head and front above all' competitors.— lron World and Manufacturer. r

Wtlhoft’s Tonic is not a panacea—is not a cure for everything, but is a catkolieon for malarious diseases, and day by day adds fresh laurels to its crown of glorious sue :ess. Engorged Livers and Spleens, along the shady banks of our lakes and rivers, are restored to their healthy and normal secretions. Health and vigor follow its use and Chills have taken their departure from every household where Willioft’s Anti-Periodic is kept and taken. Don’t fail to try it. Wiieblock, Finlay <fc Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. For sale by all Druggists. If Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is half as valuable as people say it is, no family should be without it. Certainly no person, be he lawyer, doctor, minister, or of any other profession, should start upon a journey without it. No sailor, fisherman, or woodsman should be without it. In fact, it is needed wherever there is an ache, sprain, cut, bruise, cough or cold. Farmers and “ Horse Men” are continually inquiring what we know of the utility of iS her id an's Cavalry Condition Powders, and in reply we would say, through the columns of this paper, that wc have heard from hundreds who have used them with gratifying results; that is also our experience. Prussing’s White Wine Vinegar Works, established in 1848, are the largest in the world.
