In the mellow, ripe October,

In the mellow, ripe October,
Where the leaves were being Drowned,
And a heavy, dreary curtain
y Swallowed all the woods aroundi
Then our darling baby, Ida,
With her dark blue loving eyes
Came to us q gentle angel,
. Wandering from the starry skies.
She's dainty winsome creature,
With her soft and silken hair
Straying round her lovely forehead,
As the snowy lily fair.
Dimpled hands of tiny pattern;
Her voice, music soft and low,
And meath her broidered wrappings
e Peeps anon pink white toe.
Rosy lips put up so pouting
As if asking for kiss;
She's the rose leaf of tradition
Laid upon our cup of bliss.
How quietly she came stealing,
Nesting in each waiting heart,
Folding there, her little ringlets,
Knowing she had there part.
God help us to watch DER her,
Our jewel from Him given;
That when her earthly missions over,
She may wander back to Heaven.

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part OF
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalation Is evolved by
the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood There it acts as irritating
poison on the internal yisccra and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
IN the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympatbize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally. the instinct of our or
ganism, as If in an attempt to expel the noxious
Infusion concentrates the whole blood of the body
in the internal excretores to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In this
also it fails and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat .le hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE.
Such constitutional disorder viii of course under
mine the health if it is not removed.

Q a s Fl 7

At the present time there is quite large num-
Der of persons who will not be trusted at ALL and
there is much larger portion of the community
who cannot get credit any where, but obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
FORM perhaps, more than one-half of our popula-
ton. and there is no good reason why poor man
should pay more than a rich one; and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising.
If the people will only bestow one thought upon
the subject they will at once see that-payng GUS
toners assume all the bad debts or, in other words
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very dscouragng for making debts;
the obligations of the people are now very large,
larger by far than the crops this season will dis
charge. Property of all kinds is continually run
ming down, and how would it be with us in the
event of total partial failure of the crops
next season? Is there one so blind that he cannot
see that in such an event it would take large
amount of property to pay very small debt. Who
then, is so bold as to increase their liabilities
der this state of things?
Let Retrenchment Economy, Industry, Perse-
verance and no more MAKING DEBTS be the
Watchword and take our word for it, in less than
three years time shall be free from debts, sit
ting by our own firesides surrounded with plenty,
contented and happy.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
BODY. As it should. so it does this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty And it does more,
Or rather does what is of more service TO those sub
jcct to this infection If taken In season It expcls
it from the system it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety Of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
TONS Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AGUR CURE
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it acoomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expcl the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their accord. Hence arises what
we term acclimatation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or il
sacrificed in the attempt, while this " AGUE CURE
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused BY the masmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

honestly united on principle, and determined to

should be cordially and zeaously supported
Don't allow appeals of any kind to swerve you
from your duty We have nominated our
candidates in good faith. No better selections
could have been made They are entitled to
our support, not only from their capacity, but
from the fact that if the Republicans should
leave any portion of their ticket, it would
create distrust and lessen the usefulness of the
organization hereafter Ali our accounts from
the different sections of the County are most

Since his conviction, the prisoner had mani
tested the most surprising indifference to bis
fate. Last night he slept about three hours
He was in the habit of talking freely with an
attempt once or twice of levity. The Pastors
of the different Protestant churches were with
him all the morning in his cell, endeavoring TO
prepare his mind for the future fate. They
also attended him to the Scafiold.
On the scaffold, Clark occupied fOrty,fvo
minutes in reading his speech, in which he firm
ly asserted his innocence He endeavored i"
implicate other parties, and declared that he
was entirely ready and willing to die. He ds
played the utmost GOODNESS throughout except

knelt and joined in its recital, exhibiting con-
siderable emoti.n. lie died with scarcely )
