The proprietor or tniS CeleDfateu meulcin instly claims for it n superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent euro of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to hear him testimony to the truth of the as- sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out In great many cases single dose has been sufficient for cure and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With Q perfect restoration of the gen eralhealth. It is, however, prudent, and Tn every case more certain to cure, If its use IS continued in smaller doses for week or two after the disease has been checked, more es- pecially in difficult and long-standing cases Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require cathartc medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic. single dose of BULL S VEG ETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suth- eient.

Our Olio.
The Voice q Charm in Society.

Cultivate pleasant voice. Regular
features cannot be cultivated. A kindly
expression can be cultivated. So, too,
can pleasant voice. We mean smooth
yoice-ono that is agreeable to the listener
tender in its quality, though strong,
clear and musical.
The voices of our really consummate
orators are the result, in very great mea-
sure, of cultivation. We do not mean
that they would have been dumb without
cultivation, nor that they would have set
the teeth of their friends upon edge The
voices of many of them, however, would
have been weak. many others far from
agreeable, some of them absolutely pain
full; others, still, which were naturally
strong aud smooth and musical, would
have become thin and harsh, through care
lessness and neglect.
One charm only, Of all which woman
can possess, is equal to that of musical
voice in conversation. That one charm is
a cultivated intellect to use the musical
voice. With wit enough to use them we'll,
sweet womanly accents are more attractive
than a beautiful pair of eyes, Or fair
dimpled chin, plump shoulders, a luxuri-
ant head of hair, or q pretty hand. Even
the presence of wit, indeed, is but an ag-
gravation, when it finds expression in
tones which are harsh, or shrill, or thin.
Every gentleman remembers the disap-
pointmont which he has felt, on approach
ing handsome woman in drawing-room,
to hear an unpleasant voice issue from a
beautiful pair oflips. Every other charm
is forgotten one hardly realizes that the
woman is intelligent and witty, as we'll as
beautiful, if her voice is not agreeable.
Il behooyes the ladies', then, to care for
their voices, if not to "cultivate" them.
The English tell us that the voices of our
ladies are, as a rule, too shrill-too much,
they say, of the American eagle scream.
Strangers are better critics of ourselves
than we are. This may be true. We
slackened our pace upon the street, yester-
day, to hear the voice of French woman,
a note or two of which we caught as We
were passing. 1t was, without any ex-
ception, the most deliciously musical voice
in conversation we ever heard It linger-
ed in our ear all day, and we shall hear it
there for many week. Was it the con-
trast with the average American female
voice which delighted us2
Mothers should be as careful in the train
ing of their daughters voices as they are
in giving them other accomplishments and
graces which make them delightful in So
ciety.-N Y. EUening Mall.

The Sanitary Influence OfLaughteH.

. Laugh and grow fat' is an aphorism
which needs little augmentation to sus-
tain it. To be happy we must be chcer7
full and to render that cheerfulness truly
enjoyable, one must now and then yield to
mirthful impulses. As healthful agent,
a full-chested, "hearty'' laugh is unrival-
ed. When his patient smiles, the doctor
takes hope.
A clerical friend, at celebrated water
ing-place, met a lady who seemed lowering
on the brink of the grave. Her cheeks
were hollow and wan, her manner listless,
her steps languid, and her brow wore the
contraction SO indicative both of mental
and physical suffering, 80 that she was to
all observers an object of sincere pity.
Some years afterward he encountered
this same lady, but as bright, and fresh,
and youthful--so full of healthful buoyan-
cy and SO joyous in expression-that he
began to question if he had not deceived
himself with regard to her identity. =
''Is it possible" said he, ''that see,
before me Mrs. b. who presented such
doleful appearance at the springs a few
years ago?"
"The very same"
"And pray tell me, madam, the secret
Of your cure? What means did you usa
to attain to such vigor of mind and body
to such cheerfulnoss and rejQvenatiop p
"a very simple remedy" said she,
with a beaning face. 81 stopped worry
ing and began to laugh-that was all"

Mcthought Il was spring time the sunshine fell mildly
Tho churchyard lay bssthed Ia its beautiful light;
And my boyhood's glad shout rang out in its might
Methought the old steeple and vinecovered tower
Were there just as plainly as thirty years gone;
The young moss lay softly with many flower,
Around each quaint scuiptured memorial stone.

And silyery it's tones as they hoated along
And voices loved in the choir were singing,
And, sweet were the notes of the beautiful song
twas the hymn had learned from the lips Of my mother
Twas the strain had lisped when cury-ha boy,
When seated at night with my sisters and brother,
The bright moon laughed down on our innocent Joy,
AgainEthose old walls echoed back The Evangel,
saw the old Bishop, so gentle so good
And his pleasant fce still the smile of an angel
As sinners were pointed to Cnrists precious blood,
At that moment an eye gazed upon mo in sadncss,--
That my vision and throbbng with madness shade
Ny head on its tear-waterd d pillow was laid.
Twas dream sweet dream that too has departed
The mates of my boyhood have WANDERED afar;-
And some in their young pride have died broken hearted
Some, paed away carly like morns twilight star.
'Twas dream--for that tower to the owlet is given,
The Church Ia n ruin--and my mother--is deadl-
The Bishop and Choir are now hymning in Heaven,

LADIES' NAMES.

There is a strange deformity,
Combined with countless graces,
AS often in the ladies' names
As in the ladies' faces.
Some names are fit for every age,
Some only fit for youth;
Some passing sweet and musical,
Some horribly uucouth;
Some fit for DANES Of loftiest grades,
Some only ft for scullery maids.
Ann is too plain and common,
And Nancy sounds but i'll;
Yet Anna is endurdble,
And Annie better still;
There is grace in Charlotte,
In Eleanor q state,
An elegance in Isabelle,
A haughtiness in Kate;
And Sarah is sedate and neat,
And Ellen innocent and sweet.
Matilda has Il sicbly sound,
Fit for nurses trade;
Sophia is eiicminate,
And Esther sage and staid
Elizabeth's matchless name
Fit for Queen to wear.
In castle, cottage, hut or hall,
A name beyond compare:
And Bess and Bessie follow well,
But Betsy is detestable.
Maria is too forward,
And Gertrude is too gruff,
Yet coupled with pretty face.
Is pretty name enough;
And Adelaide is fanciful,
Aud Laura is too fine,
And Emily is beautiful,
And Mary is divine:
Maud only suits high-born dame.
And Fanny is q baby-name.
Eliza is not very choice,
Jane is too blunt and bold.
And Martha somewhat sorrowful,
And Lucy proud and cold;
Amelia is too light and gay,
Fit only for tlirt.
And Caroline is vain and shy,
And Flora smart and pert;
Louisa is to soft and sleek,
But Alice gentle, chaste, and meek.
And Harriet is confding,
And Clara grave and mild,
And Emma is atfectionate,
ana Jenet arch and wild,
And Patience is expressive,
And Grace is old and rare,
And Hannah warm and dutifuI,
And Margaret frank and fair:
And Faith and Hope and Charity,
Are Heavenly names for sisters three.
Rebecca for q Jewess,
Rose for country belle,
And Agnes for blushing bride,
Viii suit exceeding we'll
And Phoebe for a midwife,
Joanna for prude,
And Rachel for gipsey weneh,
Are all extremely good;
And Judith for a scold and churi,
And Susan for a SAILORS girl.
