Even the untutored savage will instinctively seek out Herbs and Plants to cure disease, without diving into the depths of the earth, to di; up dele terious minerals. Upon tn earth's surface there germs plants suited to our wants. The Health Re- storatlve, as proven by Dr. Chiffon of N. Y., is wholly compounded of vegetable matter, and there does not exist a preparation capable of even doing such benefit. In Consumption, Liver complaints and all diseases of the Chest and Lungs, it is certain and unfaling remedy. The happiest ef- iects are guaranteed on an impartial trial of it. 24

 "Why," says the doctor, "l cannot thihk o' charging less than seven en-and-sixpence." : "Weii I'll tell you what" replied the sailor, "take off the odds, and I'll pay you the even"

 DEATH OF JUDGE STORY.
 We have the painful duty to announce the death of Joseph Story, LL D., of the Justices of the U. s. Supreme Court, and Dane Professor of Law in Harvard University. He expired at his resi- dence in Cambridge last evening, at quarter be- fore nine o'clock. His pulse ceased to beat, and his hands were cold, before eight P. M. His dis ease was stoppage of the intestnes, or strangula- ton, the same sickness which ended the life of Mr. Legare in this city in 1S43.
 Judge Story was 65 years of age. He graduated at Harvard University in 179s, and was appointed President Madison. in 1911. He has filled a high office in the judicial service of his country, and higher station in the public eye, and he has left space which will not be easily filled.
