ANorHER MoRaAN.-The Zinesville Aurora not
long since published what purported to be n full
expose of the mode Of initiation, signs, secrcls and
mysteries of tho Sons of Malta, which was extern
siyely copied. The expose was considered n good
joke, got up by some wag to Rmuso the Sons, and
was laughed over by not a few. 1t, however, as
sumed q serious aspect when it WAS discovered
that one Curtis was tho author, and that he had
suddenly and mystoriously disappeared! Suspi-
cion pointed Mt once TO the Sons Of Malta, and il
is feared that unless the mystery which enshrouds
the case is cleared up, tho citizens win rise on
masse against the order.

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY pHYsIC

arc so composed that disease within the range of
their action Gun rarely withstand or evade them.
Iheir penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
ana invlgorate every portion of tho human Or
ganism, correcting its diseased action, and re-
storing its healthy vitalities. As O consequence
of these properties, the invalid who is bowed
down with pain or physical debility is astonishcd
to find his health or energy restored by q remedy
at once so simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday conf
plants of every body, but also many formula
bic and dangerous diseases. The agent below
named Is pleased to furnish gratis my American
Almanac, containing certificates of their cures
and directions for their use in the following COM
plants; COstiueRess, Heartburn, Headache dris-
mgfrom dfsordcred Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion,
Pam in and Morbid Indction Of The Bopels, FTat-
ulcncy, Loss Of Appetite, Jdmdice, and other
kindred complaints, arising from a low state of
the body or obstruction of Its functions.
Do not be put of by unprincipled Dealers with
some other pill they make more profit on. Ask
for AYERS PILLS, and take nothing else.

] sat an hour t%o-lay John.
Beside The old brook stream,
Where we were school boys 10 old time,
When manhood was dream;
The brook is chokcd with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away
] scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place TO day.
The school house Is no more. John,
Beneath oui locust trees;
Tho Wild rose 10y the window side
No more waves in the breeze;
Tho scattered stohts look desolatc,
The sod they rested on
Has been plowed up by stranger hands,
Since you and J were gone.
The chesnut tree Is dead,
And what is sadder now
The broken grapevine of our swing
Hangs on the wilhered bough;
/ read our names upon the bark,
Aud found the pebbles rare, u
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass grown bank, John,
| looked for our old spring,
That bubblcd down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing;
The PUSHES grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not a foot, this many a day,
II seems, has trodden there.
| took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill;
IT'S darker than il used to be,
And seems so lone and still
The birds sing yet among the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not a voice of human kind
Where all our voices rung.
| sit me on the fence, John,
That lies as In olden time,
That same half panel In the path
We used so oft to climb
Aud thought how DER the bars Of life
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.
