of truth and goodness impaired in the early
years of childhood, never fail to produce a
lasting benefit. The fireside is an institu-
ton far more important than the College
or the Seminary. The lessons there learn
ed are life's lessons. They are never for.

education direct the whole destiny. They
are the blessings or the curse Of mankind.

Take care of yosss. Health.

To young man who asked Horace Mann
to give his counsel towards success In the
profession, that extraordinary Mann replied
tersely, prompt, and definitely. He opens
with the following very common-sense AMI
important suggestion touching the necessi-
ty of Health.
"First, you need health. Hope cheats
him with the belief that, if he can study now
without cessation he can always. Because
he does not see the end of his strength, he
foolishly concludes there is no end. A per-
son who is spendthri(t Of health is one of
the most reprehensible of spendthrifts.
am certain could have performed full
twice the labor, both better and with great
er ease to myself, had known as much of
the laws of health and life, at twenty-one, as
do now. In college, / was taught every
thing about the motions of the planets, with
as much care as though the world would be
in danger of getting off the track if had not
known how to trace their orbits; but about
my own organization, and the conditions in
dispensable to the healhful functions of my
own body, / was left in profound ignorance.
Nothing could be more preposterous than to
take such a course. l ought to have begun
at home, and taken the stars when it should
have come their turn. The consequence of
it was, l broke down at the beginning of my
second college year, and have never had a
er since been able to do, have it all upon
credit, instead of capital most ruinious
way, either in regard to health or money
For the last twenty-five years, so far as it re-
CARDS health have been put, from day to
Eday on my good behavior; and during the
whole of this period, as Hibernian would
say, if had lived as other folks do for but
a month, shosld have died in fortnight.
"Health has a great deal to do with what
the world calls talent. Take a lawyers life
through, and high health is at least equal to
fifty per cent more of brain. Endurance,
Gheerfulness, wit, eloquence, attain force
and splendor with health which they never
can without it: 1t often happens that the
credit awarded to the intellect belongs to the
digestion. Though / do not believe genius
and eupepsy are convertible terms, yet the
former can never rise to its loftiest heights
unaided by the latter.
"Agaln, a wise man, with a great enter
prise before him, first looks round for suita-
bic instruments wherewith to execute it;and
he thinks it all-important to command these
instruments before he commences his labor.
Health is an indispensable instrument for
the best qualities and the highest finish of
every work Think of the immense advan-
tage it would give you In a suit at court, if,
after weeks or a fortnights investigation
of facts, you would come In for the closing
argument, on the last day, fresh and elastic,
which only so much more of momentum and
fervor for the velocity and glow which you
had acquired, while your wilted opponent
had but little more vitality than bag OF
sand ( How long will our teachers and trai-
ners ofyouth suffer boxers and racers to be

DIR. CARTER's COUGH BALsAM


EOR the cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Il Consumption, Bronchitis, Splitting of Blood,
Pain in the side and breast, Pfeurisy, Whooping
Cough and all diseases of the Lungs and Chest.
Among all the celebrated remedies of diseas-
es of the lungs and chest, none seems to be meet
ing with such success and to give such entire sat
isfaction to all, as
DIR. tcARTER's COUGH BALsAM.
This valuable remedy is purely vegetable in
its Ingredients and perfectly harmless in all its
qualities. 1t is very soothing and healing to the
lungs land is everywhere acknowledged by Drug
gists, Physicians, and all who have used it to be
the most effectual curative known.
CONSUMPTION.
No disease incident to our climate is so univer-
sal, and at thesame time so fatal, as Pulmonary
Consumption. This awful malady sweeps over
the land as a destroying Angel, laying low the
strongest and fairest OF our race. Millions
Of the Young and old are annually hurried to the
tomb by this dread national disease.
Consumptiye Reader beware of mere pal
liative medicines. The object of nearly ali the
medicines now offered for diseases of the lungs,
rs to relieve and not tocure. Such is not the
with DIR. Carter's Cough Balsam. In colds and
coughs, which are the first symptoms of con-
sumption, it is the most pleasant and eficacious
remedy that can possibly be used. In confirm
ed Consumption it has been used with perfect
and triumphant success, when the most eminent
physicians had given up all hope as vain. Sc
confident is the proprietor of its power to cure
Tuberculous Consumption, that he solicits a trial
in the worst of eases. 4Eazss
SPLITTING OF BLOOD.
This frightful symptom of consumption is
speedily checked and prevented by the use of
DR.. Carter's Cough Balsam, which heals the
affected membrane, removes the incipienttnber-
cles land restores those vital organs, the lungs,
to sound and healthy condition.
DR. cARTER's COUGH BALsAM
is a great expectorant. 1t dissolves the morbid
and diseased matter in the air passages, changes
it from thick glutinous substance to a thin
harmless fluid, and throws it off with the great
est possible ease and comfort to the patient.
There is no better medicine in the world if its
|expectorant qualities alone be considered.
