1t has sometimes occurred to us that
there is considerably more of fun in this
world than those who make it have any
idea of. In confirmation of this theory
take the following report of proceedings
at a Democratic Mass Meeting at Mans
field, Ohio, just before the late election
in that State. The report is from the
Cleveland Aerald:
douglas Douglas Douglas !" shout
the Popular Sovere;gns.
Senator PUGH--'. Fellow Democrats !

the next President Of the United States
Stephen A. Douglas"
Senator DOUGLAS" Brother Demo-

now, but l take the ~liveliest satisfaction
in introducing to your high considera-
ton the next Governor of Ohio, the Hon.
Rufus P. Ranney !"
After a few words of apology for not
speaking. from the next Governor"
the cry is douglas Douglas! Doug
las J" again from the Popular Sovereigns.
Senator DOUGLAS" Fellow Demo-
Gratis l must be excused from address
ing you al this time. l am, however,
more than gratiied in introducing to you

A Softer Place.

l was down to see the widow, yester-
terday, said Tins uncle, and she gave
me dinner. l went down rather early in
the morning /; we talked and laughed,
and chatted, and went on, she going out
and in occasionally till dinner was ready,
when she helped me graciously to pigeon
pie. Now ! thought that, Tim, rather
favorable. l took it as a symptom Of
personal appreciation, because everybody
knows that | love pigeon pie, and l fat
tered myself she had cooked it on pur-
pose for me. So / grew very particular
]y cheerful, and thought that i could see
it in her too. So after dinner, while
sitting close beside the widow, | fancied
we both felt rather comfortable LIKE
know l did. l felt l had fallen over head
and ears in love with her, and l imagined
from the way she looked, that she had
fallen in love with me. She appeared for
all the world as if she thought it was
coming-that | was going to court her.
PRESENTLY couldn't help i'll laid my
hand softly on her beautiful shoulder,
and | remarked when l had placed 1t
there, III my blandest tones, Tim-for l
tried to throw my whole soul into the ex-
pression-I remarked then, with my eyes
pouring love, truth and fidelity right in
to hers
Widow, this is the incest, softest
place | ever had my hand in all my life."
Looking ~benevo!ently at me, and at
the same time flushing up a little, she
said, in melting and winning tones
doctor, give me your hand. and III
place it in a much softer place."
In a moment of rapture | consented,
and she gently, very gently, Tim, and
quietly, laid it on my head, and burst in
to a loud laugh that is ringing in my
ears yet.
Now, Tim, l haven't told this to a liv.
ing soul but you, and by jinks you
mustn't; but l couldn't hold in any long.
err, so l tell you but mind, it must GO
no further.

THE NEW MAGAZINE,
THE
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.


THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILLIE
L>IRST In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that, while each mum
Der will contain articles of an abstract and per-
manent value, it will also be found that the
healthy appetite of the mind for entertainment
in its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not go uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, also, that while native writers will
receive the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied On to fill the pages of the Ar
LANTIc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
of an author to treat a particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way thew
hope to make their periodical welcome WHEREBY
er the English language is spoken or read.
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of no party or clique, but will honestly en-
deavor to be the exponent of what its conduc-
tors believe to be the American Idea. 1t will
deal frankly with persons and with parties, en-
deavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of a true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set of antics, but with that
boo ofmen which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.
TERMS: Three Dollars a year, or Twenty-Five
Cents a number, and may be obtained of Book
sellers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers,

Is THE WORLD A MISTAKE One of
the saddest mistakes which good people
have made, is in ~supposing the world to
be a mistake. To these people-and
their number is not small-the earth is
but a theatre of pain and sickness. sor-
row and death. Joy is Elusive, pleasure
a cheat, laughter a mockery, happiness a
thing impossible. and not even to be
looked for on this side Of the grave. The
performance of all duty is the taking
up what they call "a cross" They
are actually afraid to be happy, under an
overshadowing impression that they have
no right to be happy in this life. They
believe there is something ~intrinsically
bad in this world, and all the joys that
proceed from it. Life is a trial-severe,
unrelenting, perpetual. God is a great
lawgiver, an memorable avenger, an aw-
full Judge, a being to be feared rather
than loved. All that seems good and
beautiful in this world of ours, appears
TO them to be a hollow sham, for the de-
ception OF the unwary and the ruin Of
the unwise Timothy TTtcomb.

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 cure this af-
fictive disorder with perfect certainty. And it
does more, or rather does what is of more ser
vice to those subject to this infection. If taken
in season it eXpels it from the system as it is alb
sorbed, 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 af-
fcctions which are induced by this malignant
Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache,
rheumatism, Govt, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful AZ
~fections of the Spleen, Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis,
and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bow
els, all of which, when arising from this cause,
will be found to assume more or less the intermit-
tent type. This "AGUE CyRE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the eXcrc-
tories to eXpel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises
what we term ~dcclimdtion. Time may accomplish
the same end, but often life is not long enough, or
is sacrificed in the attempt, while this "AGUE
CURE" does it at once, and with safety. We have
great reason to believe this is n surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases
which are caused by the miasmatic 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 rs good.
