Minor Morals for Married People.

"The last word" is the most danger
GUS of Internal machines. Husbands
and wives should no more strive to gel
it than they would struggle for the pos.
session of a lighted bomb-shell.
Married people should study each
others weak points, as skaters look out
for the weak parts of the ice, in order
to keep off them.
The wife is the sun Of the social sys-
tenn. Unless she attracts. there is moth
ing to keep heavy bodies, like husbands,
from flying off into space.
The liberties of England have been
won by mutual concession. Let the
husband who would acquire the priv.
lege of asking friends to dinner with
out notice, remember this when his
wife hints at a new bonnet. The wife's
want is the husbands opportunity.
notwithstanding the assertions of.
mathematicians, the marriage ring is a
circle which husband and wife have the
problem set them Of making all square.
Don't trust toe much to good temper
when you get into an argument. The
Indians produce fire by the rubbing Of
the driest sticks. ~.

DR. ROYS|
SARSAPARILLA AND WILD CHERRY
PILLS.

From the Lancet, .August 80, 1916.
. DR.. lie Roy has most happily succeeded IN com
bining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other
vegetable ingredients, SO as to produce a medicine
at once tonic and purgative, the only perfect dis
covery of the kind ever made. Their great pecu-
liar excellence, and that which distinguishes them
fran all other purgatives is, that their operation is
followed by no reaction. Their unrivalled purify
ing and purgatiye properties, tor which they are
indebted to the essence OF Sarsaparilla and other
ingredients, being controlled by their highly tonic
virtues, derived from the extract of Wild Cherry,
they do not strain the digestive organs into action,
as is the mode of operation with other cathartics,
but on the contrary strengthen them into action
Thus all other purgative medicines produce more
or less subsequent costiveness, and sluggishness of
the gastric Juice, while DR.. LIE Roy's Pills leave
all the machinery of the system full Of life and &C.
tivity, and the bowels open and natural. Hence
writes DR.. Cheeseman, 'they are the only active
purgative which can with confidence,
and without alarm; for they remove nothing but
whatoughtt to be removed-neither rack nor strain
no apathy nor debilitation-and leave
the bowels free, open and vigorous =" But the
great virtue of DR., LIE Roy's Pills-the virtue
which has spread their fame over the two hemis-
pheres with a rapidity almost miraculous-lie in
the publication of the blood. Here they not only
stand altogether unrivalled, but fill up the measure
of desire. They at once arrest the formation al
bad blood. by removing all impurities from the
chyle, of which the blood is formed; and more
over keep it clean, by toning and strengthening
the digestive organs, so as to be able to exclude
from it all matter OF an innutricious nature; and
they purify the blood already in circulation; and
never cease operation until it is entirely free from
avery ~noxious particle, and full of health, life and

The Hammer,

The hammer is the universal emblem
Of mechanics. With it are alike forged
the sword of contentious, and the
ploughshars of peaceful agriculture
the press Of the free, and the shackle
Of the slave. The %eloquence of the 70.
rum, it is true, has moved the armies
of Greece and Rome to a thousand bat
tie fields, but the eloqucncs Of the ham.
mer has covered those fields with victo-
ny or defeat. The inspiration of song
has kindled up high hopes and noble as
pirations in the hosoms of brave knights
and gentle danes, but the inspiration of
the hammer has strewn the field with
tattered helm and shield, decided not
only the fate of chivalric combat, but
the fate of thrones, crowns and king
doms. The forging of thunderboIts
was ascribed by the Greeks as the high
est act Of Jove's omnipotence, and their
mythology beautifully ascribed to one
of their gods the task of presiding at the
labors of the forge. In ancient war
fare, the hammer was a powerful wea-
pom, independent Of the blade which it
formed, Many a stout skull was brok-
en- through the cap and helm BY a blow
of Vulcan's weapon. The armies of
the crescent would have subdued Eu.
rope to the sway Of Mahomet, but on
the plains of France their progress was
arrested, and the brave and simple war.
rior who saved Christendom from the
sway of the musselman was named
Martel-"the hammer"-how, simple,
how appropriate, how grand, "lhe ham,
mer." The hammer, the savior and
bulwark of Christendom. The ham,
mer is the wealth of nations. By it
are forged the ponderous engine and
the tiny needle. 1t is an instrument of
the savage and the civilized. Its mer-
ry clink points out the abode of indus
try-it is a domestic ditty presiding
over the grandeur Of the most wealthy
and ambitious, as we'll as the humble
and impoverished. Not a stick is shap.
ed, not a house is raised, a ship floats,
or carriage rolls, a wheel spins, an en-
CINE moves, a press speaks, a viol sings,
a spade delves or flag waves, without
the hammer. Without the hammer
civilization would be unkno wn, and the
human species only as de%fenceless
,rutes, but in skillful hands directed by
wisdom, it is an instrument of power,
IF greatness and true glory.-Scientjfo

r. RODGERS COMPOUND SYRUP OF
LIVERWORT AND TAR.

A safe and certain cure for Con
sumption IF The Lungs, Splitting o.
Blood, Coughs, COlds, asthma, Pain
in the side, Bronchitis, Whooping
Cough, and all Pulmonary affections.
In the whole catalogue of remedies for Pulmo.
nary Affections, there is not one so universally
known, and whose virtues have been SO thorous h.
ly tested as Tar. Every one knows that Tar wa.
ter and Tar fumigations are among the most com
mon remedies for colds, coughs and affections OF
the lungs, which so very often end in consump-
ton.
DR.. Buchan, of England, has employed it sue
~cessfully for many years, DR.. Crichton, an emf.
nent physician OF Petersburg, highly recommends
a reatment in which tar is principally employed.
This medical preparation is the result of years
of patient and labored experiment in an extensive
medicalpractice.
Tar was a principal Ingredient and mainly de-
pended upon in the remedies used by the celebra-
ted Doct. Cooper, who treated a great number of
consumptive cases with entire success during a
long and extensive practice.
1t is admitted that as a cure for consumption,
Tar is without an equal in the list OF known sub
stances, we will briefly call attention to the fact.
The utmost skill and care have been exercised
in preparing this medicine. to make il as concen-
trAted as possible, retaining only the medical prop
critics of the several ingredients, and the proper
tons have been adjusted with strict reference to
theiI chemical properties.
For additional evidence of the great efficacy of
this medicine, see the certificates. Multiludes of
similar ones might be added.

Eight and Ninth streets, Cincinnati.
This is to certify that l used DR.. Andrew Ro-
gers Compound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar in
my family, and have found 1t to be a most excel
lent remedy for consumption. My wife having
been afflicted with that disease, and under the
care of two of our best physicians for upwards of
twa years, at the end OF which time one of them
declined further attendance, declaring he could
be of no further service. She then commenced
using the above Syrup, and continued until she
had consumed two bottles, which proved to be
to restore her to her usual health. l be-
lieve it to be a public benefit, and furnish this GER

Home Farewell.

Sweet home, farewell! I leave thee now
leave my childhood's hearth.
Where sisters wept when sorrow came,
And laughed in g~uileless mirth.
Home, farewell!-thers are ties that bind,
And break the heart to sever,
And memories gushing from the heart,
That linger there forever.
Home. farewell! I am weary now;
My mother calls my name,
And none like her can say that word,
Can call me 50 again
What voice can speak so tenderly,
Or come moro near my heart:
We two have been 90 long like one,
And now we two must part!
Farewell! farewell! each path we've lov'd
In sunshine and in shade;
The climbing vine, where clusters bend,
And the deep woods silent glade
Farewell, sweet flow'rs, whose birth I've
Thoult brightly bloom each day, [watch'd,
While l am weeping lone and sad,
From home and ye away!
Fathers! brothers, fare ye we'll
leave my childhood's hearth,
And may those dear walks echo still
With merry sounds Of mirth.
But sisters! when your laughter rings
Upon the balmy air.
Remember, in your happiness,
That one is missing there!
One who has love for all of ye,
And leaves her home to-day.
Oh! farewell! mother, sisters, all,
I tear myself away;
Thoughts of things past--forever gone--
Shadows dark and deep.
Those that have so loved NEIL ~leave.--
Then dear ones! let me weep!
