REMARKABLE CURE OF HIP DISEASE.

New York, July Goth, 1913.
Messrs. SANDs-Gcnt. My daughter. aged
six wears, was attacked with the hip disease when
two years old, and since then she has been grow
ing gradually worse until recently, and her suffer-
ing ut intervals was most painful to behold. and
battles all description. The head of the hip bone
was thrown entirely out ofplace, after which mat
ter or puss formed in the socket of the joint, and
for many months in succession she was entirely
deprived of all natural rest She was reduced TO
mere skeleton and very often exclaimed, "Oh,
mother | wish it might please the good Man
above to take me to himself" 1t was my fervent
prayer her suflerings might be terminated and my
anxious fears removed.
The Almighty has promised to be with us in
six troubles, and in the seventh he will not leave
us nor forsake US. if we put trust and conf
dence in Him; and truly can say It has been
verified in the present case. Throughails bless
ing and your insirumentalily, my child liVes-yes,
is restored to perfect health, and is living monu-
ment of the efficacy of your heoth-restoring Sar-
saparilla. We had tried all the remedies within
our reach, had the hone once set had IL bistered
and purgcd. without effect She commenced the
use of the Sarsspallla in April last, and IN less
than week there was an evident improvement
discharge came out from the hip joint, and in
few days it commenced healing, aud in less than
two weeks was entirely closed. During the time
of using the Sarsaparilla she passed large quanti-
ties of Worms, which aided materially in hasten
ing the cure She rapidly improved in health and
strength, her appetite increased and she is now
entirely restored and wholly SO by the use Of your
Sarsaparlla. With the grateful feelings OF . mo-
theirs heart and fathers Joy, we subscribe our
selves your friend. WILLIAM s. BAILEY,

A GOOD JOKE.

Mr.. Ediior:-The bes, joke I have
heard for some time, occurred at the litile
fracas which took place between tho Lc-
cofocos and the Wings at the time the
Wing pole was let to the ground. The
circumstances are as follows-in the me.
lee which took place, a prominent and
wide mouthsd, ignorant locofoco was
thrown down in the crowd, and some fell
low commenced kicking him with right
good will; a, every kick given, the poor
fellow would cry out Oh! Oh. Oh! don't
don't if you please! Whereupon the
kicker having some sympathy for the kick
ed, looked down TO see how much he had
bruised the rascaly Whig--and behold!
he had been kicking his FATHER most
unmercifully--all the time thinking it was
one OF the Wings whom he had been ssink-
ing" il into so heartily. --Ol course this was
a terrible discovery to the agectionate son,
and TO make amends for his TN. son like
he commenced blubbering and
kissing his cold dad" with as much casio
as before he had bcen kicking him.
This caused good deal Of amusement
among the crowd. who made way for the
purpose Of letting tho sffectionate coup
pass through, TO have the wounds of the
Father looked TO.

THE RESTING PLACE.

However dark and disconsolate the
path Of life may seem to any man, there
IS an hour OF deep and quiet repose at
hand, when the body may sink into a
dreamless sumber. Let net the mag.
nation be startled il this resting place, in
stead OF the bed of down, shall be the bed
Of gravel, or Of the rocky pavement Of the
tomb. No matter where the poor remains
Of wearried men may lie, the repose is
deep and undisturbed-- sorrowful DO.
som heaves no more--the tears are dried
up in their fountains. The aching head
is at rest, and the stormy waves Of the
earthly tribulation roll unheeded over the
place of graves. Let armies engage in
fearful conflicts over the bosoms of the
pale nations of the dead, not one of the
sleepers heed the sprlt-stirring trump or
responds to the rending shout Of victo.
ry.
How quiet those boundlcss millions
slumber in the arms Of their mother
earth! The voice Of thunder shall not
awake them the loud cry OF the elements
the waves not even the giant tread of
the earthquake. shall be able TO cause an
nquietude in the chambers OF death.
They shall rest and pass away the last
great battle shall be fought then a silver
voice a, first family heard, shall rise TO a
tempest tone, and penetrate the voice.
less grave. For the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall hear His voice.

That John Calhoun would sit on the nest,
And to hatch it out would do his best.
, Get out of the way, &c.
But soon as it saw the light of day,
The Lokies stole the chicken away,
But how TO hide the theft was the deuce,
Sc they stained the bird with Poks.berry juice.
Get out Of the way Sc.
They took il South and turned it out,
And swore 'twoud put the Coon to rout;
They opened the ring and cleared the pit,
But the devlsh bird wouldn fight bit.
Get out of the way, &c.
The Lekies to their sorrow found
That 1.-THE same old Coon" was on the ground;
And when they brought their rooster nigh,
Oh, how he made the feathers fly.
Get out Of the wsy, &c.
In 40 they uiei Northern man
With the principles Of the Southern clan.
But now they've changed their tune,
And are trying to fool that same old Coon
Get out of the way, SC.
A Southern man with Northern face
They nov have got to fill Vans place;
And vainly think to win bis lection
BY sweariag that he's for Projections.
Get out of the way, &c.
And thinking to fool the Keystone State,
They got George Dallas for his mate;
And backward now his name they spell.
In hopes TO make /. jingle well.
Get out Of the way, &c.
This twisting and tuning in rigzag route.
Is thing that George knows all about;
And spelling backwards is just the game
That suits alike the man and name.
Get out Of the way, &c.
In 40 the Lokies swore twas wrong
For the Wings to sing merry song;
But now they hook our songs and tunes.
And next, we expect they II hook our Coons.
Get out Of the way, &c.
