A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE
DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new mcdi-
cal system! The quantitarians, whose vast
internal doses enfeeble the stomach and
paralyze the bowels, must give precedence
to the man who restores health and appe-
tite, with from one to two of his extraordi-
nary Pills, and cures the most viruleut
sores with a box or so Of his wonderful and
all-healing Salve. These two great speci-
fics OF the Doctor are fast superseding all
the stereotyped nostrums Of the day. Ex-
traordinary cures by Maggicrs Pills and
Salve have opened the eyes of the public to
the nefhciency OF the (so-called) remedies
or others, and upon which people have SO

could use. The bargain was concluded the
devil was to supply the money, and was at last
to save the soul, unless the young man could
spend more money than the devil could furnish.
Years passed away; The man married, was ex-
travagant in his living built palaces, speculated
widely, lost and gave away fortunes, and yet his
Golfers were always full. He turned politician
and bribed his way to power and fame without
reducing his pile of gold. He became filibuster

Paul to live and paid the usual rates of interest
for all the money he could borrow; but though
the devil made faces when he came to pay the
bills, yet they were all paid. One expedient after
another failed, the devil counted the time-only
two more years that he must wait for the soul
and Knocked the efforts of the desparing man.
One more trial was resolved upon; the man start

The Best Way.

When the honeymoon passes away, setting
behind dull mountains, or dipping silently into
the stormy sea Of life, the trying hour of mar
ried life has come Between the parties there
are no more illusions. The feverish desire of
possession has gone, and all excitementreceded
Then begins, or should, the business of adapta-
ton. If they find they do not love each other
as they thought they did, they should double
their assiduous attention to each other, and be
jealous Of every thing which tends in the slight
est way to separate them.
Life is too precious to be thrown away in Sc
cret regrets or open differences. And let me
say to all those to whom the romance oflfe has
fed, and who are discontented in the slightest
degree with their conditions and relations be-
gin this reconciliation at once.
Renew the attention of earlier days. Draw
your hearts close together. Talk the thing all
over. Acknowledge your faults to each other ;
and determine henceforth you will be all in all
to each other; and my word for it, you will
find in your relation the sweetest joy earth has
for you. There is no other way for you to do
If you are happy at home, you must be happy
abroad; the man Or woman who has settled
down upon the conviction that he or she is at
tached for life to an uncongenial yoke-fellow
and there is no way Of escape, has lost life ;
there is no effort too costly to make which can
restore to its setting upon the bosom the miss

Big BrindIe.

InsNashville, many years ago, there resided a
gentleman of great hospitality large fortune, and,
though uneducated possessed of hard knotty
sense. Col. w. had been elected to the Legisla-
sture and had also been judge fthe county court
His elevation, however, had made him some
what pompous, and he became very fond of using
big words. On his farm he had a very large and
mischievous OK, called "Big Brindie'' which
frequently broke down his neighbors' fences, and
committed other depredations, much to the Col
onels annoyance.
. One month after breakfast, in presence of some
gentlemen who had stayed with him over night
and who were now on their way to town, he call
ed to his Overseer and said to him:
MIR. Allen. desire you to impound Big Brin-
de- in order that may hear no more animad-
versions of his eternal depredations."
Allen bowed and walked off, sorely puzzled to
know what the Colonel meant. After the Colo
mel left for town, he went to his wife and asked
her what Colonel w. meant by telling him to i'm
pound the OK.
= why" said she, ''the Colonel meant to tell
you to put him in pen'
Allen left to perform the feat, for twas no in
considerable one, as the animal was very wild
and vicious, and after great deal of trouble and
''Well," said he, ''this is impounding is It'll
Now, I'm dead sure the Colonel will ask if I i'm
pounded Big Brindle, and bet II puzzle him
as badly as he did me-"
= The next day the Colonel gave dinner party,
and turned towards the oYerseer, and said
Eth, Mr.. Allen, did you impound Big Brindle,
,ir''
''Yes, I did, sir, but old Brindle transcribed
the impannel of the impound and scattersophist-
icated all over the equanimity of the forest''
The company laughed and the Col. REDEEMED.
What do you mean by that sir u said he.

BRIGHT Side.

There is always bright side to everything.
The darkest thunder-cloud has a side towards
the sun which is as brilliant and beautiful as Its
earthward aspect is sombre and alarming -
Even though occasionally it destroys human
life, consumes here and there some OF the fruits
of the earth, smites some towering archltectu-
raj fabric or sends some gallant ship to the bot
tom of the sea, this dark, awful storm is, i'll
general, benefaction, saving great many more
lives by It's publication of the atmosphere than
it destroys by its thunderbolts, and giving an
impetus to the fructifying processes of nature
which ends in producing much more than 1t
destroys. When it departs, Nature smiles
amidst its tears, as if it recognized behind the
frowning storm the smiling face of Divine Be-
nevolence; and even the cloud as 1T disappears
bears upon it the bow of promise and peace.
The political commissions which agitate socie-
ty to its foundations have also some wise and
benefcent purpose which, in due course OF
time, is made manifest. The actors in those
scenes may not live to witness the ful6llment Of
the benignant designs which they are intended
to accomplish. Man is the being of day. his
vision is limited he cannot, even by searching,
find out GoD. The prophet speaks of the AL
mighty as dwelling in the arch of heaven, and
the inhabitants Of the earth are as grasshop
pers. The grasshoppers of humanity are no
more capable of comprehending the far-reach-
ing and harmonious designs of Providence than
are the grasshoppers of the field of mastering
the wonders of astronomy, or realizing the mag
nifcent conception that all the suns which fill
the armament with all their planetary systems
revolve around a grand, central sun of the uni
verse; and that when the first of these long rev.
olutions, stretching the mighty ages, is accom-
plished, 1.-THE great bell eternity strikes ONE"
An eminent Virginian scholar, discoursing of
the gradual manner in which the purposes of
the Creator are matured, both in the economy
of nature and providence, said eve know not
(which most to admire, the power with which
He works, or the patience with which He
waits. We, the creatures Of day, cannot
initiate His power, but we may learn lesson
from His patience, whose unfathomable depths
no storm has ever stirred. Man, too, in his
little sphere, whose lifelong contumacy- has
been unable to exhaust the Divine forbearance,
should bear with calmness the light Affections
which are intended to work out for him and for
his race great and imperishable blessings

Spring Time.
Dispatch.

The love of the beautiful is a natural impulse
that thrills all our hearts and brightens the
gloom that shrouds the rough and rugged ways
OF Lite. For all along the pathway, be it ever
SO drear and lonely, there springs up little
flower here, blade of grass there, and some
times tiny wreath winds itself among the ga
ping rocks to hide their bleak and ragged looks
perhaps bird sits on the swinging Dough
and gladdens with its music the soul of the wea-
ry traveller; or, near by singing riil goes
sweeping o er It's pebbly bottom, just in place
to cool the fevered brow Of the weary and worn.
So in life, the way is often cheered by visions
OF beauty, scenes that are lovely to behold, and
music whose strains sound very, very beautiful
to us weary mortals.
We have been reminded of these things by
the coming of the rosy spring time, whose tiny
footstep treads so lightly FER hill and dale and
as she goes, scatters flowers rich and rare with
which to grace the festal scene, when she shah
crown the blooming May Queen of the season.
All very beautiful is the smile of God S love
to the children of men, when he gladdens their
hearts with the soft beaming sunlight, the
balmy Winds the springing flowers and the
forest music of Spring time. And surely there
are none, from the laborer in the fclds-the
tradesman at his bench-the merchant at his
desk-the man Of health with a lordly tread
or the invalid stretched upon couch of suffer-
ing, but thanks God for Spring time" Tru-
ly there may be shadows upon the spirits of
some Of us which shut out many of the glories
and sadden some of the notes of melody that
would otherwise burst upon us in all their ac-
customed radiance and harmony. But even
from such hearts, though crushed and broken
they be, there steals up an incense Of praise and
thanks giving to the throne Of their Maker that
the Spring time, the type Of a final re-awaken-
ing, the joyous harbinger of ''peace on earth
and good will toward men, has come to point
us to that world Of fadeless light, where it is
one eternal Spring-time
