has won for itself such renown for the cure of
every variety of Throat and Lung Complaint,
that it is entirely unnecessary for us to recount
the evidence of its virtues, wherever it has been
employed. As it has long been in constant use
throughout this section, we need not do more
than assure the people its quality is kept up to
the best it ever has been, and that it may be re-
lied to do for their relief all it has ever been
found to do.

IMPURE BLOOD.

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed to every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. The stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
to secrete a sufficiency of bile. The action of
the heart is weakened and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter; hence, a cough-and all from
slight impurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood As if you had thrown some earth,
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivulet, in few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored.
As quickly does impure blood fly to every part,
and leave its sting behng. Ali the passages
become Instructed, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out

Anronorr OF STEPHEN G1RAnp-old

ANEcDoTE OF STEPHEN GIRAnD.-Old
Girard had favorite clerk, and he always said
"he intended to do well by Ben Lippincott." !"
So when Ben got to be 21 he expected to hear
the Governor say something of his future
prospects, and perhaps lend helping hand in
starting him in the world. But the old fox
carefully avoided the subject Ben mustered
courage, eI suppose am free Sir" said he,
''and 1 thought l woud say something to you
as to my course, what do you think l had bet
ter do" eyes, yes, I know you are" said
the old millionaire, "aId my advice is that
you go and learn the coorer's trade" This
application of ice nearly froze Ben out, but
recovering equilibrium, he said if Mr.. Girard
was in earnest he would do so. "I am in
earnest and Ben sought the best cooper in
Spring Garden, became an apprentice, and in
due time could make as good a barrell as the
best. He announced to old Stephen that be
had graduated and was ready to set up business.
The old man seemed gratifed, and imm ediately
ordered three of the best barrels he could turn
out. Ben did his prettiest, and wheeled them
up to the old mans counting room. Old Gil
ed the price "One dollar" said Ben, sis
now as low as can live by" aCheap enough

The bill was made out, and old Steve set
tied it with a check for $4,000, which he ac.
complained with this little moral to the story ::
"There take that and invest it in the best
possible manner, and and if you are unfortun-
ate and loose it, you have a good trade to fall
back upon which will afford you good living"
We should like to see all the old solid fel-

NOTES ON FRUITs AS THEY RIPEN.


WHARToN's EARLY PEAR-This is va
riety very-little known. 1t was originated by
-Silas Whartnn,-one of the earliest pioneer
fruit growers of Ohio, man who freely dis
tributed gratis and Seeding trees throughout
the southern part of the State. The late Mr..
A. H. Ernst, among many other valuable sorts,
distributed this, as received from Mr.. Whar-
ton, as his early seeding. When we first saw
this pear, some eight or more years since, we
supposed it must be known sort, of which the
label had got lost; but after careful examina-
ton, and being unable to identify it with any
n med sort, we traced its origin as above stat
ed. The trees are vigorous, healthy growers;
good and early bearers; the fruit full, or above
medium size, of a quality equaling, if not sur
passing any other variety, and ripenig before
September. Generally, this is ripe about the
middle of August It deserves the attention

A DARKEY Ar srAUFroN.

Itappears that the good people of fStauntoi,
H., have had darkey sensation. The last
number of the Bonner gives the following racy
sketch of the interesting affair. Read it, Re.
putlicans:
It came to pass few weeks since that o
young negro arrived at this place, in q desti-
tute condition, and called on Mr.. ]. Lindsay
who took him to his house and supplied him
with clothing and food, and secured h m =
place to work with one Barney Parker. After
few days, Mr.. Lindsay was informed, by q
Democrat in Staunton, that Parker intended
taking the negro to st. Louis, and selling him;
Accordingly, Mr.: Il. procured horse and
hnggy from Dr. Coon, and conveyed the negro
to his house, promising him protection.
Shortly afterwards, writ was issued against
the negro on the charge of stealing, and Mr..
Lindsay consulted with Squire Caldwell as to
the best means of secrstihg hiih, when he was
directed to convey him to his house for securi-
ty. The segro followed his benefactor on his
'ial-fours," like black dog, as directed. to the
barn of Squire CALDWELL ard in lifting him up
to the loft a "raip' had to be used, which fell
on the venerable head of the squire, who cried
out, "Good Lord, deliver us, anticipating the
fate of his party next November
The squire presented the negro with brass
pistol, telling him, ..here, my boy, take this; it
will take the bulls eye out thirty yards off,"
The negro remained in the barn until morning;
when he returned to Mr.. Lindsay for something
to eat. He was refused, and ordered off the
premises, and returned tc the barn, where he
remained until four o'clock, when he wander
ed about ID a starving condition, was taken By
the constable, abandoned by his Black Repub-
lican friends, tried for stealing, and acquitted.
The negro was heard to say, "de Lord save me
from Black 'publicans; they came mighty near
starving me to death"
