AYERS PILLS.
AkE YOU SICK9

FTVHEN yon can't be cured TOO soon. Don't
L delay until your complaint is incurabie,
and then mourn when IL is TOO late. Four
fifths Of all the diseases whica people the
church yards, might be cured by Ayers Ca
tharic Pills, if taken IN season. Don't go
dragging through the Spring, faint, sleepy
and lslless, because yonr blood is loaded
with bile. Don't wear The headache, heart
burn, and their kindred disorders, because
your stomach is foul. Don't parade yourself
around the world, covered with pimples,
blolches, ulcers, sores, and all or any OF the
unclean diseases Of the skin, because your
system wants cleaning. Don't show yonr-
self about, lean, haggard, all caved in, be-
cause your Stomach and Bowels need
strengthening into healthy action. Ayers
Pills sci these things right as surely as water
quenches fire. They purity the body and
blood, and restore heir functions into healthy
activity which you can feel as quick as they
are taken. They are the one great medical
wonder of the age, recognized by all who
know their virtues, and many thousand know
them. Take the Cherry Pecloral for cough,
and the Pills for all arrangements requiring
a purgalive medicine.
Prepared by JAMES C. AVER, Practical
and Analytical Chemist, Lowell, Mass.-and

RELIEF AGAINST cELIBAcY.

In parts of France there is. among the
female sex. holy horror of being regard
ed as old maids; and as want of money is
considered the chief difficulty in obtaining
husband, resort is had TO novel expe-
dent to relieve them of this disability.
late letter from Paris says that several fe-
male clubs have been formed in the depart
ments of the Var and Gironde for mutual
relief against celibaey.
The original club, after which the others
are modelled, has been in existence for four
years. Each member pays lOf. monthly
to the treasurer. These subscriptions pro-
duce annually 24000f., to which is added
the amount raised by two half-yearly lot
teriss. of which the prizes are composed OF
valuable articles, the gifts of the members.
The original club is composed of two hum
dred young ladies. At the end of the year
the society is enabled to dispose of 30,0OOf.
or 100000, which serve to give marriage
portion to two or three of the members
chosen by ballot. If the fortunate candi-
dates are not married within year the
money returns to the common fund, and
additional candidates are portioned the
following year. ...
The members of the club continue to pay
their subscriptions for ten years after their
marriage, and are bound tc facilitate by all
means in their power the marriage of their
former associates. The members of the
association, married or single, are bound
as long as they live to aid and succor their
fellow-members under all circumstances.
How it would shock the sensibilities of our
American ladies to have to resort to such
means as this to obtain husbands

WoMAN's TEMrEE-Above all things let
women cultivate a sweet and amiaJle
temper. 1t is this that makes home happy.
The sweet temper of the wife makes flowers
that gem mans pathway. Man, perplexed
and annoyed with the cares and tolls of a
busy day, goes home and is soothed to rest
by the music of kindly coined words. 1t is
like sunshine gliding dark and stony places
in the heart. Let it be cultivated; for
husband and children are a thousand fold
the happier for it. Women should strive
10 possess calm, sweet temper; and if it
should happen that any mans eyes falls
upon this, we would say that he should
pray with all fervency for better temper
than he has, How some women can live
with cross, Grabbed, ugly men all their lives,
