One evening after school one of my little schol-

"Mr Jones, father said you would come with

"Very well,"I replied and forthwith set out
for my patrons house, which was distant some
two miles.

adulterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits of what it is not, as some of its rival imi-

in most cases of complaint. Topersons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West, North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in ev-
cry twenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use a
counteractng agent. From the fact that the
"London Club House Gin"
is prepared expressly to meet such exigencies,
and to act as we know it will act, as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it as the very best
article in the country. The name of " Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps" has never been attached
in any way to this article. In first presenting
the
"London Club House Gin,
to the public, my aim was to give them pure
and unadulterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
introduction and extensive sale in California is
sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call "Club House Gin" My Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand

is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in new parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial proper
ties.
In all cases of dropsical tendency, it is gen.
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
in the early stage of the disease.
In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper
quantities, as diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
eminenty efficacious in the most obstinate cases,
4 hen even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief In
cases of Flatulency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in

Young Infants, in all those paroxysms of gripping
pain in the stomach and bowels to which they
are especially subject, as well as in the collie of
grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the
principal meals or when sense of exhaustion
dictates its use never fails to relieve the debil-
ty attendant upon protracted chronic malades,

whatever cause induced. These are facts to

both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by

Randolph Among the Boys.

correspondent of the Central Presbyterian
furnishes some "reminiscences of his school DAYS
more than fifty years ago The celebrated John
Randolph, then at the zenith, of his power as
leading member of Congress, had three wards
(nephews) at the school, THAT of Rev DrurY
Lacy, prince Edward county, Va.,) and used to
be a frequent visitor. The writer says:

more than once, to come from Bizarre two
miles and entes the school house by sun-up
At o'clock the school was formally opened.
when all the boys read verses about in the Bible
until the chapter or portion was finished Mr.
Randolph always seemed highly pleased with
this exercise, read his verse in turn, and with
Mr.. Lacy would sometimes ask questions. On
one occasion, whilst reading one of the books of
the Penteteuch, he stopped lad with the ques-
ton:
"Tom Miller, can you tell me who was Moses
father 2'
"Jethro, SIR was the prompt answer.
"Why-you little dog, Jethro was his father
in-law.'
Then putting the question to four or five
others by name, not one of whom could answer,
he berated them soundly for their carelessness
and inattention in reading, saying,-''When you
were reading last week, William Cook read the
verse containing the name of Moses father
and have you all forgotten it already?"
Just then the young man caught the name
and unable to repeat the verse of the Bible, re-
peated n part of a line from Milton
The potent rod of Arams son, &c.

you learn your Bibe-get It ont of other books

The very utterante, simple as it was, filled
every one with awe, and made him feel guilty.
whilst at the same time it impaired reverence
for the Bible which was never felt before and
which, from our minds az least, never will be
effaced Mr.. Randolph was. so pleased, however,

as he could gett from Richmond-he presented

ABEAuTIFUL ALLEGoRY.-The following beau
nful allegory was the peroration of Mr.. Critten-
den's address to jury on behalf of a man who
was being tried for capital offence:
When God in his eternal counsel conceived
the thought of mans creation, he called to him
the three ministers who wait upon the throne
Justice, Truth and Mercy-and thus addressed
them: Shall we make man?' Then said Jus
tce, : U God, make him not, for he will pollute
Thy sanctuaIes.' But Mercy, dropping upon her
knees, and looking up through her tears, ex-
claimed, o God, make hm-I will watch over
him with my care through all the dark paths
which he may have to tread Then God made
man, and said to him, 0 man, thou art the child
of Mercy; go and deal with thy brother The
jury, when he finished, was drowned in tears
and against evidense and what must have been
