DR. GRAVES FAMILY MEDICINES.
We do desire TO interfere with the professional
ethics Of medical schools, nor DO possess any
skill IN pharmaceutics, but Dr.. Graves has opened
10 inspection mass OF letters from his agents
and respectable druggists ia all parts Of the
country, which commend his family medicines in
the highest terms They meet with very extended
Gale, which Of itself is excellent ecommendation
We always feel reluctant to mako any endorse
ment OF medicines, bat there many localities
where no regular practitioners within reach,
and SO many diseases which require prompt rems-
dies, that supply of tho prescriptions prepared by
Dr.. Graves, commended they are for efficiency,
would prove almost Invaluable. In all cases of
Sickness first advice is TO call the aid of ply
sicau, but, If that is mpracticable 1t seems US
that DR.. Graves offers remedial agents in agus,
cholera morbus, &c. which may be safely used, as
he gives ASSURANCE that deleterious compounds
are used in their preparation Journal.
Dr.. GTaves anti-Fever and Ague, anti Bilious,
Purifying, and Cathartic Pills are iualuable TO
those afflicted with any of these complaints. His
American Liniment is gaining a high reputation
for healing all kinds Of ailments, both Of aud

Yermifuge," is certain remedy for expelling
worms from the system,

ANY LITTER FOR ME TODAY.

With how much of hidden emotion is this
question asked at the post office Many a
time after receiving our own letters, have we
stopped and watched the faces of the throng
who were waiting their turn to ask the com
mon question, ''Any letter for me to-day ;"
and we always are thus led to more serious
reflection upon the Joys and sorrows of life,
and made more sensible to realize the power
of LITTLE THINGS over human happiness
1t is a little thing to ask for a letter, and the
answer yes or ''no" is but little thing /:
the letter itself is but little PACKAGE in ap-
pearance unimportant and valueless; and
when passing the post-ofice, as we casually
glance at the people who have come for these
little messages we deem it a very little affair
An every day occurrence of no Specification.
But could we see expectation. desire, the
trembling hope and fear, smotherod beneath
the simple question, "Any letter for me ?"
then should we know that il is not little
thing to the heart interested. There is no
other place in tho world where strong feel
ing, genuine heart emotion, is so Immediately
aroused as at the post office. II may be sub
dued, it is true, or hidden, from the common
eye, but it is felt there. Nowhere else can so
great variety of feelings be called into exer-
ciso; for here all come, all ages, classes and
conditions of mon, hoping and fearing.
Any letter for me to-day; asks the man of
business. les-he takes it, opens it, and
reads a notice of protested note or of some
calamity from which he must date his own
ruin. Perhaps he reads Of rise in real estate,
in stock, or in the success oil some grand NOR
camille speculation, by which he is suddenly
release from embarrassment, and made rich.
Oh, what an electric touch to his whole be-
ing is that letter
Any letter for me to-day; asked the aged
mother; her voice trembles. and her heart
throbs heavily while the clerk turns to look
for the expected message. Her children are
scattered over the world--have been gone
from her for many years, but she still feels
the same love for them she did when they
were "wee darlings," nestled safely undor
one roof, and letter Of good news from ei-
ther of them thrills her heart with the same
old joys which their smiles and merry glee
brought to her, long years gone.
Any letter for me to-day asks the young
man, who had been but few months from
home, seeking employment in the city His
countenaDce indicates quick alienation of
hope aud fear; when tho answer is given,
mo letter, sir, he turns away as he has
many times before, struggling TO suppress
tears and sighs. He had been unsuccessful
in his efforts for business the means given
him by his father when he started to try the
world for himself, were exhausted, and weeks
