The pleasures of stage-riding are little
known to the great majority of people living
this side of the Rocky Mountains, railroads
having generally superseded that mode of
travelling. The "Colfax party" had taste Of

A Western Story.

At Far-Western court, the case of Smith
vs.. Jones was called up.
"1Who's for the PLAINTIFF" inquired the
judge, impatiently.
May it please the court" said rising
member of the legal fraternity, "Pilkins is
forthe plaintiff, but left him just. now over
in the tavern playing game OF poker. He's
got a sucker there, and he is sure to skin him
right smart, if he has only got time. He's
got everything all set to ring cold deck, in
which case he will deal for himself four aces
and his opponent four queens, so that your
honor will perceive that he must rake the
persimmons.'
Dear me| said the judge, with sigh;
that's too bad! 1t happens at very unfor-
funate time! | am very anxious to get on
with the case.'
A brown study followed, and at length
happy idea struck the judge:
BILL said he, addressing the friend of the
absent Pilkins, who had just spoken, '.yor
understand poker about as well as Pilkins.
Suppose you go over and play his hand."
And Bill did it.-Dickens' AL the Year

and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of

upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long

men 1t has risen higher and higher in their estma.

character and power to cure the various affections
Of the lungs and throat have made it known as
milder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all

Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee

Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
