that possibly exist is with regard TO tb tmeans

understand that the plan Of circulars, addressed on

and unfaling results Of the plan below.
Our plan proposes 70 commence with the high

Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
win exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system will be thorough, and con-
sequently the desired results viii be but legitimate

AYERS PILLS.

has conclusvely shown with what success it accom-
plshes the purpose designed. 1t is easy TO make a
physical Pill but not so easy TO make the best OF all
Pills-one which should have none OF the objections,
but all the advantages of every other This has been
attempted here and with what success we would re-
spectfully submit 70 the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgative medicine is acrimonious and irritating to
the bowels This is not. Many of them produce SO
much gripping pain and revulsion in the system as TO
more than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These Pills produce no irritation or pain, un-
less it arises from previousl sxsting obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vege-
table, no harm arise from their use in any guam
tity; but it is better that any medicine should be
taken udicousy. Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
gwen on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice,
Indigestion Languor, and Loss of Appetite Listess-
ness, Irtability, Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague pain in the Side and Loins, for in
TRUTH all these are but the consequences Of diseased
action Of the liver. As aperient they afford prompt
and sure relief in Costiveness Piles, Collie Dysentery,
Humors, Scroiua, and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness
of the body, Ulcers and impurity Of the bleod. In
short, any and every case where purgative Is re-
quired.
They have also produced some singularly success
full cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel Fry
spelas Palpitation of the Heart Pains in the Back,
Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken in
the spring of the year. 10 purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and by their stimulant action on the crcua-
tory system renovate the strength Of the body, and
restore the wasted or diseased energies of the whole
organism. Hence occasional dose Ia advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far as
every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when
taken TO excess. The thousand cases in which q
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but

and 1t is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto been
available TO mankind. When their virtues are once
known the public win no longer doubt what remedy
TO employ when in need Of cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they pleasant 70 take, and
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their
use in any quantity.

Law VS. saw. IN
Sitting in his otiice W. 4. lawyer
Standing in the speet, sawyer;
On the law er's anxious face,
You coud read knotty case,
Wedding law s@
While PIE sawyer, gaunt and grim.
Ona cough and knotty limb,
Ran o saw.
Now the saw-horse seemed TO me
Like double X in fee;
And the saw,
Whichever way twas thrust,
Must be followed by the dust,
Like the law.
And the log upon the track,
Like client on the rack,
Played its part
As the tempered teeth Of steel
Made wound that would not heal,
Through the heart
And each severed stick that fell,
In its falling seemed ID tell,
All too plain,
Ofthe many severed ties
That in lawsuits will arise,
Bringing pain.
Then methonght the sturdy paw
That was using axe and saw
On the wood,
Held yielding mine Of wealth,
With its honest toll and health,
Doing good.
Ifthe chips that strewed tbs ground,
by some stricken widow found,
In her need,
Should by light and warmth impart,
Blessings to her aged heart,
Happy deed!
, This conclusion, then, draw:
That no exercise Of jaw,
Twisting India-rubber law,
is as good
As the exercise Of paw
On the handle Of saw,
Saving wood.
