TO THE PUBLIC.


Ehis Is TO certify that my wife was afflicted with
the spinal affection and dyspepsia for nine years
and large portion of that time confined TO her
room. Three joints OF hor back bone were thrown
out of place and curved, caused by disease and
pain. She was quite bowed down In her stature
during her illness. We had three physicians at
tending her during the principal part, OF her ILL
ness, but she experienced no permanent relief
from their prescriptions. I afterwards procured
one bottle Of DR.. Forsha's Alternative Balm, and
by the time she had used thai bottle she felt great
relief She used but seven bottles, when she was
entirely cured, sound and we'll, OF her diseases,
and her backbone has lost its curve, aud she Is
straight In her stature as she was previous 10 tbs

BBlm to be tho cest medicine In use, and we be-
eye IL to be certain cure fol the spinal affection
and dyspepsia, and cannot too highly recommend
IL TO any person afflicted with the above diseases. :
We also find itan enectual cure In many other de
sesses In which VIC have tried II In our family.

forty million gallons OF Whiskey, six and a half
million gallons of rum. and upward of one and
three-quarter million barrels of ale are annual
ly manufactured in this country, requiring the
use of fourteen millions worth of grain, hops
and apples This divided equally between four
teen thousand families, would give to each, one
thousand dollars sum sufficient to buy and
stock a comfortable homestead! But, instead
of this, we have this vast amount of money an
nually expended in nourshing and strengthen
ing perverted appetites, in improverishiag per-
sons who are not themselves consumers but de-
pendent on those who do consume this vast
sum; it besets men and women, nourishes crime

and daily tears from the walks of virtue many

BEAUTIFUL BkrRArT-The following waif,
afoat ca the sea Of reading, we clip from an
exchange We do not know its paternity, bnh
it contains some wholesome truths beautifully
set forth.
Men seldom think Of the great event of death
until the shadows fall across their own path,
hiding forever from their eyes the traces OF the
loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight
Of their existence. Death is the great antago-
mist of life, and the cold thought Of the tomb is
the skeleton of all feasts We do not want 10
go through the dark valley, although its pas
sage may lead TO Paradise; and, with Charles
Lamb, we do not want to lie down in the mud
dy grave. even with kings and princes for our
bed-fellows. But the fat of nature is inexora-
bic.
There is no appeal of relief from the great
lav which dooms US TO dust. We foarish and
we fade as the leaves of the forest and the flow
ers that blossoms and withers in day has MOI;
a Trailer hold upon life than the naightiest mon
arch that ever shook the earth with his foot
steps. Generations of man appear and vanish
as the grass, and the countless multitude that
throngs the world to-day. will tomorrow dis-
appear as the footsteps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the instinct of
Immortality so eloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds a deep response in every
thoughtful soul When about to yield his
young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his be-
loved Clemanthe asks ii they shall not meet
again. to which he replies II have asked that
dreadful question of the hills tsat look eternal
of the clear streams that fog forever-of The
stars among whose fields of azure my raised
spirit hath walked in glory All were dumb
Snt while gaze upon thy living face. | feel
that there is something in the love that mantles
through its beauty that cannot wholly perish.
We shall meet again, ClemaIthe.'
