IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
CONSUMPTION

CURED BY INHALATION.

is as much under the control Of medical treatment
as any other formidable disease; ninety out Of every
hundred can be cured in the first stages, and
fifty per cent in the second but in the third stage
II is impossible to save more than five per cent for
the Lungs cut up by the disease as TO bid de-
fance TO medical skL-Eyen, however in the last
stages Inhalation affords extraordinary relief TO the
suffering attending this feafu scourge which annu-

Being from whom oometh every good and perfect
gift am enabled TO offer TO the afflicted permanent
and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of
tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediate
effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is 10

which causes weakened vitality through the entire

than from those administered through the stomach

THE DEAD WIFE.

The last sad rites were over. She had
fallen by the way, ere life's meridian
was reached, and left husband and chill
dren to a sorrow that moeks for time
at consolation. Seven years she had
been a wife-six years a mother-and
now alonely hearted man and three lit
tie motherless ones were left in the
dwelling where the sunshine of her low
ing presence would never again appear.
Mr.. Newcomb was sadder man now
than when he followed, grieving, the
uallid coffi to its final resting place
And there were reasons why his heart
should feela deeper depression. A few
friends and neighbors had returned
with him from the place of graves, and
they had fingered for short time in the
desolate rooms, speaking together in
mufled tones of the departed, and of
those she had left behind her. Two
women talked in this wise; and it so
happened that Mr.. Newcomb heard ev-
cry word. They thought him in one oi
the upper chambers, but he was sitting
in an adjoining room, and their voices
came in through an open window, and
smote his ears with intolerable pain.
..Poor Alice T''said one. "It's bles
sed release to her."
o "But dreadful loss to her children,

Red or white.

The new tangled red petticoat, which
it is said is about to become the rage on
this as we'll as on the other side of the
Atlantic, gives occasion to DIR. Mackay
for the following delicately but respect
fully worded protest. We imagine,
however, that it is more matter of fash
ion than of taste, and that the ladies
must be allowed to settle it their own
way. We doubt whether the poets ar
euments in favor of the "white as pure
as drifted snow" would hold good, at
least in this present, filthy town.
Oh, the red, the Haunting petticoat,
That courts the eye of day.
That loves to fame and be admired.
And blinks from far away;
1t may delight the rowing sight,
And charm the fancy free;
But, if its wearer's half as bold,
'- I'll pass and lesAsr be;
With her red, her Haunting petticoat,
"a She's not the girl for me!
But the white the modest petticoat,
7 As pure asedriftod snow, aa. il.
That shuns the gaze in crowded ways
Where follies come and go;
1t stirs the primrose on its path,
Or daisy on the lea;
And if the wearer's like the garb,
How beautiful is she!

Oh, she's the girl for me
