A DEMOCRATIC BIRD.-"Hurrah for Seymour and Blair! Hurrah for Blair Hurrah for Seymour and Blairl' This cry may be heard at almost every hour of the day on Exchange Alley. If you happen to look around to see where the sound comes from, perhaps you may not see any one on the thorough fare at all enthusiastically inclined. If you remain little while longer, however, you will find that the enthu- siastic cheers for Seymour and Blair, and Blair particularly, is confined in a cage. He is a prisoner-perhaps he was once paroled prisoner, hut now he is again in his prison but he bears his troubles manfully, and is still hope fhl of recovering the lost freedom and breaking the chains riveted upon the people. This parrot is echoing the cry Seymour and Blair! Hurrah for Blair"

LABoRING MAN READ.-What now lengthens the time of toll z If we were free from any form of taxation, direct or indirect, six hours of work would earn as much as ten do now. One hour more of work ought to meet laborer's share of the cost of govern ment, another hour should pay his share of the national debt He now works two hours each day more than he ought, to pay for the military and negro policy of Congress and its cor rupt schemes.--Seyuiour

 They are such as are made up of two parts of equal shapes. Look carefully at these and you will perceive that the upper halves of the characters are very little smaller than the lower halves--so little that an ordinary eye will declare them to be of equal size. Now, turn the page upside down, and, without any careful looking, you will see that this difference in size is very much exaggersted--that the real top half of the letter is very much smaller than the bottom half It will be seen from this that here is a tendency in tue eye to enlarge the upper part of any object upon which it looks. We might draw two circles of unequal size, and so place them that they should appear equal.--Once Week.

Smiths Tonic Syrup! A&N FOR THE CURE OF 4 6 T ? 4 N D ? ? v ? E.
 OR CIIIIIS N FER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicin jnstly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, csrtain, speedy. and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether cf short or long standing. He refers To the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear bim testimony to the truth of the as- sertiou, that in no case whatever will 1t fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases single dose has been sufficient for acure. and whole families have been cured by single bottle. With perfect restoration of the gen erai heallh. It is, however, prudent, and in 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 cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufh- cient.
