nea- Poor RICHARD" says "there is
much to be done, and perhaps you are weak
handed, but stick to it steadily and you will
see great effects, for constant dropping wears
away stones and by diligence and patience,
the mouse ate into the cable; and little
strokes fell great oaks" This is especially
true in regard to the acquisition of knowl-
edge. TriAes and fragments are the dust of
precious diamonds. You may learn some
great truth in two minutes that will be use
full through life. If you can see no immedi-
ate use in what seems a trife, treasure it up.
Another maxim runneth-" they who find a
pin and lets it lie, are sure to need it before
they die" Learn all you can, and you will
never regret it. Never let slip an opportu-
nifty Of gathering a new idea. The beginning
of some of the most useful and sublime sci
ences were so trivial as to seem almost utter
ly worthless. Seek knowledge as the miser
searches out the grains of the glittering gold.

Wherever that great Medicine called II. G. Far

Wherever that great Medicine called II. G. Far
rells Celebrated Arabian Liniment, has been in
troduced, it has performed the most extraordinary
cures in the annals of medical history-every
body who uses it once becomes its warmest friend
they NOT only keep it as~wnys on hand for the
benefit of its timely uses of emergency, but re-
commend it to all their friends. 1t has been be-
fore the public for nearly ten years, and yet is
daily developing new virtues many diseases have
been cured by it, for which the proprietor had
never recommended it its magical virtues spreads
through the land with the speed of lightning, and
many, very many poor invalids who supposed
their days on this earth were fast drawing to a
close, have been by a persevering use of this in
valuable Liniment Healed, and now rejoice in the
blessings of health, and the enjoyment of this
beautiful world. Read this to believe, and not to
doubt. Inquire of your neighbors whom you
know to have used it, and they will tell you that
no medicine ever discovered possess the half of its
extraordinary healing powers. The racking pains
of rheumatism and neuralgia yield in a few min
utes to its powerfully anodyne properties. "The
lame are made to walk" Old sores. which have
rendered the subject a loathsome thing to behold,
are healed. The weak and trembling, from deran-
ged state of the nerves, by the use of this Lini-
ment, rejoice in the recovery of their former
health and strength. Many long standing affec-
tons Of the liver, lungs and kidney have yielded
to its use after the various remedies had failed
1t is very eficacious in curing the diseases of bor-
ses and cattle, such as sweeny, sprains, bruises,
s~wellings, cramps, lameness, dry shoulder, splint,
ETC., and if used in the beginning, never fails to
stop the further progress of f@stula, poll-evil, ring
bone and SPAWN.
LOOK OUT FOR COUNTERFEITS!
The public are cautioned against another coun-
@terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith,
without the knowledge that a counterfeit exists,
and they will perhaps only discover their error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only by Fl.
G. Farrell, soleinventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. II Main street, Peoria, Illinois,

THE LATE MEETING OF THE GRAND DIvIs-
ION OF THE Sons OF TEMPERANCE.-Ill health
prevented me from attending all the meetings
Of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temper
ance, held in this town. heard Prof. Sterl-
ing deliver the Anniversary Address and
it was by far the best grafton of the kind |
have ever heard, not even excepting the Ad-
dresses of White and Hewlett. The speech
Of Mr.. German deserves something more than
a passing notice. After having been unani-
mously called on, he said, | have no idea of
inficting q speech upon you, after what has
been so ably and lengthily said by brother
Wetmore. Last night, said he, you had
an advanced shot from the Picket Guard,
alluding to Rev. Mr.. Picket's Address. You
were then carried. away, for about an hour
by a shot from the inner camp, abiding to
the speech Of the Rev. Mr.. Carraway, Grand
Chaplain. And, to-day, said he, we gave
yoa two hundred pounds Sterling, referring
to Prof. Sterling's Grafton. He then desert.
bed a courtship, in which he represented a
young man whom he called George, gay and
too fond Of his glass, entering upon the scene.
George Of course uttered protestations of e
ternal love in language something like the
following: Flowers may cease to bloom;
the moon may refuse to shine; the stars may
hide their diminished heads all nature may
decay, and vanish like the breath of morning.:
but never will my love for you fall After
George had closed his fine speech, his lady
love said, George, all this will do mighty we'll ;
but promise me one thing. What is it, said
George. in rapture? Certainly, l will pro-
mise. 1t is this, said his lady love, do not
90 any more to the Grocery over the way
which l nave seen you frequenting. George
replied, Oh that would be intruding upon
my reserved rights; l cannot give them up:
must continue to take my moderate glass.
Well then, said his lady love, | cannot give
YOU either my heart or my hand; for If you
will not deny yourself so small gratifca,
ton, now, to secure my favor, l could not
expect YOU to do it after marriage
And so Georges courtship was brought to
a sneedy conclusion. Such is the worse than
despotic tyranny of the body and soul dcs'
troyinr habit of intemperance. From Its
ruthless grasp no age,sex or condition IS Tree,
Rloom;ng youth, noble manhood, hoary age
al sink Under its fatal influence. The pro
missing young man just entering upon Ines
stage with the fluctuations of his relatives
md the best wishes of his friends and ac
~naintances, sacrifices the brightest matrl
