To KEEP SAUSAGE MEAT.-An expert
enced housekeeper says the best way to
keep sausage meat is to make bags as large
as you choose, dip them in melted lard to
fill up all the pores Of the cleth--put in
your meat, pressing it very tight, then hang
up in cool place to dry, without smoking
and it will keep all summer fresh.

Mrs. Gray glanced up and down the long
row of benches, and her artistic eve failed
to be favorably impressed with the little
cropped heads and bolster-like forms, swath-
ed up in factory gingham; and she was just
about retiring disappointed, when her eye
caught sight of Lilly. 4 quick. bright flash
came to her cheek, and her eye kindlcd, as
she stood before her.
The vigil of the night previous had ex-
hausted the little creature; her knitting Law
upon the floor, her small hands had fallen
listlessly on her lap, her head resting loving
ly on the shoulder OF her next neighbor-
Her long lashes were damp with tears that
still trembled on her cheek; her silken hair,
spite Of Miss Betsy, had formed itself in
little ringlets about her temples; and the
careless grace Of her attitude, notwithstand-
ing her unbecoming Ctess, was study for
painter.
"Will you go with this LADY," said the
prlm Miss Betsy, as the startled child un-
closed her eyes, at the touch of those skele-
ton fingers Lily brushed her hand across
her eyes, as if bewildered with the sweet
face before her, and not quite sure that she
is not dreaming. My mother smiIed at
me So" she said, musingly as she slid her
little hand into Mrs. Gray's.
At the side of richly canopied bed,
kneels our little Lily. please. God, bless
my new mamma and let her 60 to heaven
with me" Mrs. Gray stands concealed be-
hind the curtain. Her lip culver, her eyes
fill-she has never prayed that prayer for
herself! She struggles moment with her
pride, then gliding forward, she kneels by
the side OF the little petitioner, and says
Let US pray together Lily"
And days, and months and years glide
by, and Lily grows more beautiful every
day in the sunshine Of love, unspoiled by
prosperity. The gay world has lost its pow
er to charm the mother; her ear is deaf to
the voice Of adulation, for she has taken an
angel TO her bosom; and in that pure pres
ence she looks shudderingly back upon the
long wasted years Of frvolity, and besses
God that "a little child hath led her,
But Lily's mission now is over. The
bright hectic glows with fearful brilliancy
upon that marble cheek. the eyes are bright
with fire that is fast consuming her-mother
and child, knit together by spiritual birth,
how shall they part now? EARTH is fair,
HEAVEN is FAIEER!!'' whispers Lily.

CHERRY PICTORIAL
For the Cure Of
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH,
GROUP, ASTHMA. AND
CONSUMPTION.
Many wears OF trial, instead OF impairlng the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for
lit an appreciation and notoriety by far exceed
ling the most sanguine expectations of its
friends, Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and
the unnistakable benefit conferred on thousands
of sufferers, could originate and maintain the
reputation it enjoys. While many inferior re-
NEEDLES thrust upon the community, have failed
and been discarded, this has gained friends by
every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted
they can never forget, and produced cures too
numerous and too remarkable TO be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the public to pretend
that any one medicine will infallibly cure--stili
there is abundant proof that the CHERRY PFC
ToRAL does not only as general thing, but al
most invariably cure the maladies for which it
is employed.
AS time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become
the best reliance of the afflicted, from the log
cabin Of the American peasant, TO the palaces
of European kings. Throughout this entire
country, in every state, city, and indeed almost
every hamlet it contains, CHERRY PEcToRAL
is known as the bestremedy extant for diseases
of the Throat and Lungs, and in many foreign
countries, it is coming to be extensively used
by their most intelligent Physicians. In Great
Britain, France and Germany, where the me-
deal sciences have reached their highest per-
lection, CHERRY PICTORIAL is introduced, and
in constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Aims
Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic
practice, as the surest remedy their attending
Physicians can employ for the more dangerous
affections of the lungs. Also in milder cases,
and for chlldrsnltis safe, pleasant and effectua!
to cure. In fact, some Of the most fatterng
testimonials we receive have been from parents
who have found it etficacious in cases partcu-
larly incidental to childhood.
The CHERRY PEcToRAL is manufactured by
a practical Chemist, and every ounce of it un
der his own eye, with invariable accuracy and
care. Ii is sealed and protected by law from
counterfeits, consequently can be relied on as
genuine without aduterations
We have endeayored here to furnish the COM
munity with medicine of such intrinsic supe-
Iriority and worth as should commend Itself to
their confdence--a remedy at once safe, spec
dy and efectual, which this has by repeated
and countless trials proved itself to be; and
trust by great care in preparing it with chemi-
cal accuracy, of Uniform strength to afford
Physicians new agent on which they can re-
ly for the best results, and the afflicted with a
remedy that will do for them all that medicine
can do.
