Ess EEE OF JAMAICA GINGER

This valuable preparation containing in a
highly concentrated form all the properties
of the Jamaica Ginger. has become one of the
most popular domestic remedies for all dis
eases of the stomach and digestive organs.
As a tonic it will be found invaluable to
all persons recovering from debility whether
produced by fever or otherwise, for whilst
it imparts to the system all the glow and
vigor that can be produced by wine or bran
dy, it is entirely free from the reactionary eff
fects that follow the use of spirits of any kind.
1t is also an excellent remedy for females
who suffer from difficult menstruatiou. giving
almost immediate relief to the spasms that SO
frequently accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to Nausea, caused
by riding in railroad car, or by sea-sickness
or other causes.
1t is also valuable as an external applica-
tlon for Gout, Rheumatism. Neuralgia, etc.

YOUR MISSION.
If you cannot on the ocean

Ii you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet,
Rocking on highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors 4
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend hand to help them
As they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountains steep and high;
You can stand within the valley
As they slowly pass along
Though they forget the stranger,
They will not forget the song.
If you have not gold or silver
Ever ready to command,
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Der the erring you can weep,
You can be true disciple
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself soldier true.
If where smoke and fire are thickest
There's no work for you to do,
When the battle field is silent,
You can 60 with silent tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do
Fortune is lazy goddess,
She will never come to you;
Go and toll in any vineyard.
Do not fear to do or care;
If you want field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.

taire was one of the guests. Chesterfield
seemed to be gazing about the brilliant
circle of ladies, when Voltaire thus ac-
costed him: "My Lord, l know you
are judge, which are more beautiful,
the English or French ladies ?" ''Upon
my word,' replied his Lordship, with
his usual presence of mind, 81 am no

the old Board, and the efficient school 0cer IN ts
city, was chosen President OF the Board, ana ii. W.
Holhwe the old Secretary, also reelected.
Mr.. shipper said at an early day he would lay De,
fore the Board important points affecting the schools ana
the system OF education in the city upon which he would
ask serious and careful deliberatiOn.
The schools in this city cOnfessedly behind those In
the rural districts where the rigorous policy Of the state
superintendent excluded from Philadelphia, has aroused
the people and procured the employment OF able teachers
and practical local supervision. The country schools
also use more modern and superior textbooks, wherein
