W"I ask again, what is happiness :" 1t
amt being idle, that's n fact-no idle man
or woman was happy since the world began.
Eve was idle, and that's the way she got
tempted, poor critter; employment gives both
appetite and digestion. Duty makes pleas
ure doubly sweet by contrast. When the
haruess is off, If the work amt too hard, n
critter likes to kick up his heels. When pleas
ure is the business Of life, it ceases to be
pleasure and when it's all labor and no play
work, like an unstuffed saddle, cuts into the
very bone. Neither labor or idlcness has a
road that leads to happiness-one has no
room for the heart, and the other corrupts it.
Hard work is the oest of the two; for that
has, at all events sound sleep-the other has
restless pillows, and unreireshing sleep; one
is misfortune and the other a curse, and
money amt happiness, that's clear as mud

IT Is A FACT ESTABLISHED

And well known that the Arabians attained
n height in the knowledge Of medicine which
caused the whole world to wonder and adj
mire. With them the science of chemistry
had its birth, and it is, therefore, not ut all
strange that people so emnently successful
in the healing art, and so persevering and
daring in character. should, by actual and I'M
firing experiment, discover remedies far sur
passing in efficacy all others. for the cure of
those diseases incident to them from their
mode of life The greater part of their time
being spent in hazardous and bloody warfare
with the different tribes, they were subject to
the most violent attacks of rheumatism, par
alysis neuralgia palms. and various inflamma-
tory diseases, as also the most horrid wounds,
sprains, bruises, tumors, swellings, diseases OF
the Joints. etc, etc. All these diseases they
were So surprisingly efficient in curing, that
the unnitiated looked with wonder and at
tributed their skill! to the powers of magic. III.
q. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT is a
composition of balsams and oils, from rare
plants peculiar to this country and it was by
the use of the articles composing this great
remedy that not only their physicians, but
even the wild Arabs Of the desert were ena-
bled to perform such miraculous cures. The
Arab s,eed is world renowned for his beaut-
ful symmetry Of form, his unsurpassed speed
and arility, and the incredible fatigue he is
capable Of enduring. Why is it' Because
from the time of his birth his limbs are care
fully watched, and upon the first appearance
of disease the magic lotion is applied. and
such things as confirmed sweeny, poll-evil,
fstula, ringbone. scratches, SPAWN, lameness,
etc. etc, are unknown. The same result will

the proprietors of M'Lane's Vermifugc beg
leave to call the attention of parents to its
virtues for the expelling of these annoying,
and often fatal enemies of children. 1t was
invented by physician of great experience
in Virginia, who, after having used it for sew
cral years in his own practice, and found its
success so universal, was induced at last TO
offer it to the rs u cheap. but certain and ex-
cclent medicine. 1t has since become justly
popular throughout the United States, as the
most efficient Nermifuge ever known, and the
demand has been steadily on the increase
since its first introduction to the public.
Purchasers will please be careful to ask for
DR.. .PLane'c celebrated Termifage and take
none else. All other Vcrmifuges, in compari-
