THE END.

THINGS NOT ALWAYS AS THEY AP-
PEAR.-In 1858 Abraham Lincoln said:
4.Twenty years ago Judge Douglas and !
became acquainted. We were both
young men, he = trtle younger than l.
Even then we were both ambitious. -
With me the race of ambition proved
a fiat failure; with him it had been a
splendid success. His name fills the ma
ton, and Is not unknown in foreign
lands. effect no contempt for the high
eminence he has reached would that
could SO reach it that the oppressed OF
my species could share with me in the
elevation. l would rather stand Oh that
eminence than wear the richest crown
that ever pressed II monarchs brow"
The last was but q prayer, and fully the
prayer was answered. Ten years from
that day, not n nation only but world
was filled with the greatness of the man
who declared that the race of ambition
with him had been flat failure.

Hieskell's
Ointment.

This Ointment, after an experience of
twenty years, has proved itself a sover-
eign remedy for all Diseases of the Skin;
having effected q radical cure in every
case on which it was used, curing many
obstinate eases of fifteen or twenty years
standing, that had previously resisted
all remedies prescribed by the best med
ical talent of the country. Its effect is
astonishing. in a few days the soreness
and irritation is removed; the skin be-
comes smooth and healthy, and remains
permanently healed, without the use of
any ether remedy.
Thus, letter, salt Rheum, Itch, Sold
ier's Itch, Erysipelas, Blotches, Pimples,
and every form of disease of the skin is
punctually cured, no matter of how
long standing. II has cured bad cases
of Inffamod E.yelids, and Discharges
from the Ear, when nothing else would
heal them. Piles. that have resisted all
other treatment for many years, have
been eilectually cured by the use of on
~ one box Of this Ointment. Barns,
Scalds, and Old Sores, IL heals in q very
short time. Price 30 cents per box. If
not sold by your Druggist, send 80 cents
to Johnston, Holloway & Cowden, Phil
adelphia, Il box will be sent free Of post
age to any address.
OBSERNE-Noncg genuine without the
signature ofthe proprietors on the wrap

character and power to the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re.

at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incpient consumption and the dam

are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
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 Pictorial. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of tho Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it, When moth

SINGERS and Public Speakers find great pro.

asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it,
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry IecfOr"l in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that it is un.
necessary to publish the certificates of them here,
or do more than assure the public that its qualities
arc fully maintained.

HOLLOWAYS'
VERMIFUGE
CONNECTIONS.

DR. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress occasi0ned sickly
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges of that day. resolved to annalize
them, and from the most effective of
thesearemedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tastelesS and inodorous Then, by COM
bining these with sugar, and moulding
them into an agreeable confection, FORM
ed the present popular and effective YER
mifuge known as
HOllOWay's vermifuge Connections.
Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Vermifuges, to the de-
light OF the poor little sufferers. 1t con-
tains no calomel or other poisonous in
gradients.
Sohighly esteemed is this popular ver-
mifuge,.b the profession, that all INTEL
ligent Physicians who know of them,
prescribe them in preference to other
remedies, as not only more pleasant to
take, but more effective to cure,
Parents and guardians, having the care
ofchildren, should keep them as FAM
lily medicine; for they not only eradicate
> wOrms-those pests Ofchildhood-but cor
rect any arrangement of the digestive
organs, SO prevalent with children.

Boils-A Boys Composition. y

0OAA1-A hoy GOmpOS1L1On.
A boil is generally very small at first
and afellow hardly notices it, but in a
nv days It gets to be the biggest of the
two, and the chap that has it is ofvery
little accnaant in comparison with his
boil which then "has him." Boils APP
psar mystcriously upon various portions
Of the human body, coming whom and
where "they darn please and OFTEN in
very inconvenicut places. sometimes
solitary boil Is the sum total Of the af-
fiction, but frequently there Is a "rub-
ishin' lot Of 'em" to help the first one
Ifa boil comes anywhere on person,
that person always wishes that 1t had
come somewhere else, although it would
puzzle him to say just where.
Some persons call them "Damboils,"
but such persons are addicted to profan-
ity-the proper name is boil. TIA chap
~ boil he generally gets good deal
Of sympathy from others-"in horn"
Whoever asks him what ails him laughs
at him for his pains to answer, while ma
ny unfeeling persons make game of him
or or his misfortune, RI boil. 1t is very
wicked to make sport Of persons with
hollis; they cannot help it, and often
feel very badly about it. Physicians
don't give boil patients much satisfac-
ton as general thing, although young
physicians who are just beginning to
paactice are fond Of trying their lancets
.on them. Boils are said to he "healthy,"
and judging from the way they take
hold, and hang on, and ache, and burn,
and grow, and raise Cain generally,
there is no doubt they are healthy, and
have good constitutions. They are gen.
'erally very lively and playful at night,
and it Is very funny to see chap with
. good large one prospecting around his
couch for place where his boil will fit
"without hurting" Boils tend to "puri-
~ the blood" strengthen the system,
calm the nerves, improv the temper and
beautify the appearance. They are good
things for married men who spend their
evenings away from home, as they give
them an opportunity to rest their night
keys, and get acquainted with their fam
lilies. 1t is said that boi,s save the pa
.tient "a fit of sickness but If the sick
ness IL not the best thing to have, 1t must
I've mn all fred mean thing. 1t is also
said that person is better after he has
had them, and there is no doubt that
one feels much better after having got
rid Of them. Many distinguished per-
sons have enjoyed these harbingers of
health. Job took the first premium at
the county Fair for having more achers
under cultivation than any other person.
Shakespear had them, and meant boiIs
when he said, "One woe doth tread upon
another's heels, So fast they follow"
There are great many remedies for
boiis, most Of which are well worth try
ing. because if they don't do any good,
they don't hurt the boil. Every man he
meets will tell him of "a good thing
for it, among which are-shoemaker's
wax, Mrs. Winslow's syrup, trix,
Spaulding's glue, Charlotte russes, gum
drops, water proof backing, night
blooming cereus, chiorotorm, kiss engei,
etc., etc.

1t is we'll known that, in the days of our
deepest financial depression, when the burdens
of the war pressed heavily, and the Govern
ment was straining every nerve to raise money
for its prosecution-when abroad, and unfor-
tunately, also at home, the national credit was
depreciated- the issue of the war seemed
doubtful, and it was question whether it left
us with any national responsibility, any ma
tional resources, or any national existence
Holland Loyalty kept its faith in our existence,
our cause, Our honor and invested largely in
our bonds. 1t is not yet time to forget the
gratitude we felt then for this confidence.
Those Dutch friends rendered important SER
vice to our financial power and credit They
increased our faith, and held up our name in
Europe at O time when the first was trembling
and the latter was despised. The voice of
Holland was the most cheering that came
from the other side of the Atlantic. The
sums invested in United States bonds
and in Illinois Railroad stocks and bonds
