Q A s II =

I 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 are 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 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-paying 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 even 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 we shall be free from debts sit
ting by our own firesides surrounded with plenty,
contented and happy.
We shall offer leading STYLES of goods at the fol-

AIR AS ASTIMULENT.-The exciting
and stimulating properties of pure oxy-
gen are well known, and every one
has felt the invigorating influence of
fresh air, yet no practical application
has been made of these beneficial prom
critics. When the body is weak. the
brain fatigued, and the whole system
in state of lassitude, just go into the
open air, take few vigorous inspira-
tons and expirations, and the effect
will be Instantly perceived. The indi-
yidual trying the experiment will feel
invigorated and stimulated, and the
blood will course with freshness, the
lungs will work with increased activity,
the whole frame will feel revivifed, and
natures stimulent will be found the
best.

IS Go in Tige 20

The residents of North Water street
Geneva, n. Y, were afforded no little
amusement few days since, by the
incident narrated to us in substance as
follows: f70--'e s+ 9r.-
A countryman, the owner of large,
but usually good-natured dog, drove in
town on the day stated. Near the
railroad crossing on Water street,
''Tiger" fell into bad company, and y
regular muss ensued. Taken suddenly,
and almost unwares, the countryman's
dog seemed hardly to comprehend
whether it was Stree fight" in earnest,
or only the rough sort of play of village
hounds until he found himself in
''throat to mouth" contest with regu-
lar fighting character, in the shape of
trained bull dog, and getting the worst
of it. His master however comprehend
ing the nature of the muss, and spring
ing from his wagon, caught the bull by
his narrative" and cndeavored to sep
crate the combatants.
'sLet that dog alone or I'll lam you
over the headr' growled rough and
excited looking customer standing by,
who proved to be the owner of the
bull.
ooh, then you want them to fight,
do YEP" calculated the homespun,
dropping the end; and then at the top
of his voice, shouted, s'Go in Tigep
And Tige did ego in" Instantly
the tide of battle was turned, Tige
secured and was making good use of
his advantage, when Bulls owner sud-
denly became converted into peace
maker. Suiting the action to the idea,
he made feint as if to release his dog
from the vice like jaws of Tiger.
''Let that dog alone, or I'll lam you
over the head!" shouted the country
man; and he Slaughtered mp and
swelled out to such huge proportions
that "Rock street" desisted, terror
stricken at the menace.
Tiger pursued his work in hand until
the piteous "ki-yi' of his assaiIant
seemed to produce pity in the dogs
heart of the former for he relaxed his
hold and the latter skunk away, with
the appearance of three legs behind.
As the countryman jumped into his
wagon, he called out TO huh dogs
owner:
whenever you want another fight
just say the word, as me aud Tige
alters tracel together"

~ An advocate of provincial
town in France, was recently waited on
by sausage dealer, who said:
Sir, | want to consult you; if a dog
devours sausages placed in my window
can make his owner pay the dam
age?"
Certainly"
In that case, please to pay me
twelve francs, for your dog has just
eaten sausages of mine TO that amount"
The advocate paid the money. An
hour after, the advocates clerk called
on the sausage dealer, and claimed l2f
SO, for consultation about sausages,
and the tradesman, to his intense NOR
tification, had to hand over the sum
claimed.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expe it from the
body. As it should, so it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty And it does more,
rather does what is Of more service to those SUBJ
ject to this infection. If taken in it expels
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 If affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fcvers, 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, viii be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGUE CURE 3"
removes the cause ofthese arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
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 ncclinsatation. 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 a surer 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 well as good. Is So
