A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyxe the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces Of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place TO the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one TO three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
serofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve
DR.. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiel's Pills rectifes
the disordered condition Of the stomach and liver,
clesCses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough TO be almost classcd
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiel's Bilious. DysPeptie and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chibains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallible.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE CENTRAL

At . meeting of the Central Seymour
Club Of this parish, the following pream
BILE and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, ID order to bring about the

tween the white and black races in this

determined to invite all black men who
have opened their eyes to the dishonest
purposes Of Radicalism, and who believe
that the white men among whom they
live are their truest and most useful
friends, to form themselves into clubs,
/ Whereas, from the wicked spirit in
which the Radical party is conducting
the present political contest, bad and
reckless men of said party may attempt
to do violence to the well-disposed and
brave-hearte1 black men who may Join
themselves together for the purpose oil
assisting the white men in their efforts to
bring about good feelings between the
two races, therefore be it

PUTTING HIS MARX ON HER.-One of the
real old Milo gentry, six feet four inches
high, stout in proportion, rugged as one
OF bis W mountain bulls, and proud as
q Breton, had attained the age OF forty
aud was still unmarried. He was q con-
slant visitor at the house of three ladies.
not overburdened with money or blood,
but the youngest of whom was possessed
of beauty and skill in retort. Every one
said it would be a match /; but years
rolled away, and the decisive words were
not spoken, though other suitors were
warned off by significant hints from the
formidable but undecided Mr.. Black
One evening be called in. returning from
the fair at Castelar,, and be found the
ladies were having q few friends and an
impromptu dance. There were some
officers lately arrived from India, whose
regiment was at C~astlebar, and q certain
Capt. Graham had Mr.. Blske's lady, as
she was generally styled, fast locked in
that half embrace tie gay %scbottishe
permits. The captain was an adept at
moulding up," which Irish and a great
many other ladies consider q partners
bouEden duty.
Blake's idea of WALKING was as preju-
diced as Byron's; and be had an ugly
scowl on his brow that would have fright
ened many men, as the lady passed him
with q slight nod ; however, the captain
only pressed bis partner the closer.
IL an sure you will like the captain
for dear Isabel's sake ; and we rely on
you to make it pleasant for him while
here" said the eldest sister.
Mr. Blake was standing with his back
to the fire, and drawing from his pocket
a small branding iron used for putting
initials on the horns of cattle BY the pur-
chaser, he gave the turf a quiet poke,
and left the lettered end in the hot ashes.
"Your Lonor's lost her." whispered
Pat Casey, the old servant of tho house,
as be handed negus round ; i" the cap.
tain's less tadious than your honor 10
love-making."
"Well, Blake, you're done," said Mr..
Browne. Waited too long, my boy, and
the captain there will carry off the finest
girl in Mayo"
by heaven, then, he shrll find my
mark on her |" cried Blake ; and, az the
walters passed, be drew the brand from
the Ere and clapped the red-hot letters
on the shoulder Of Miss Mabel, just above
the low dress. Of course there was q
deal of screaming and fuss; but the lady
recovered sufficiently to become Mrs.
Blake, and I bear, never regretted the
event which at last compelled her lover
to speak his mind.
A friend Of mine tpld me, SOM time
since, that be had been staying with the
Blskes, and he could aver that Mrs.
Blake still wore low dresses on all &C.
casions.
