ALEXANDER HAMILTON once said to an in

genius have lies in this when have sub

it in all his bearings. My mind becomes

"But, Mr.. Webster, a few words from you

AN invalid once sent for a physician,
and after detaining him some time with
description of his pains, aches, DC, he
thus summed up:-" Now, doctor, you
have humbugged me long enough with
your good for nothing pills and worthless
syrups they don't touch the real difficulty,
| wish you to strike the cause of my all
ment, if it is in your power to reach it"

HAIR DRESSING,
Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,

CppeI1r1ntiOn

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through Il long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their eStlma.
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known n
milder forms Of disease and TO young children, it is
at the time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipent consumption and the dam
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
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 Iect0rdi. 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
tOrdl they subsde and disappear
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained

A. COLONY OF INSANE PEoPLE.-Prof
Griesinger. in his work on "Mental Pa
thology and Therapeutics" says: CA
colony of insane has been formed in the
remarkable Belgian village Of Gheel, in
which for several hundred years past,
lunatics have lived together with the in
habitants, and even resided in their tami
lies. In former times people frequently
resorted thither to supicate the aid OF
Dymphne, the patron saint Of the insane,
although the people. are seldom in the
habit now of consulting her oracle. Out
OF a population of about 5000, it has
from 900 to 1000 inhabitants who are
insane. The lunatics enjoy an amount
of pleasure and freedom which could not
be permitted in an asylum. All who are
capable of it share in the mechanical OF
agricultural employments of the sane
The treatment in the main, is very mild
and restrain is never made without first
consulting a physician. Suicide is rare,
and the general physical health so
good that in 1888 two of the patients
reached upward of 100 years of age
Owing to the peculiar situation of Gheel,
escape by the patient is difficult. With
all its advantages, it has undoubted draw
backs. But the experiment of Gheel
has proved that the greater number OF
insane do not require the confinement OF
an asylum; and that many of them can
safely be trusted with more liberty than
those institutions allow; and that asscia-
tiOn in family life is very beneficial to
insane patients.-Scientyic American.

SOUTHERN PRIDE AND POVERTY, &c, &c, -
Mobile, Ala, April 80, 1865 y AT
Meridian we stopped for breakfast at house
kept by Mrs. Gaines, a widow niece of THE
Mrs. Gaines of New Orleans. The place
was once one of the handsomest estates Of the
South but everything was destroyed by the
war, and Mrs q. is now nearly destitute, be-
ing obliged to keep this railroad eating
house for living. The house is large and
of genuine Southern style, with galleries
running across the front and rear. No car
pets on the floor, but everything as neat as a
pin.
Last year she could not make up her mind
to receive the railroad travellers in her home,
and so sent her coored servants upon the
trains to sell coffee, biscuits, bacon, chickens,
&c. But this spring her pride had become
crushed by poverty, and the dining-hall that
once echoed the happy laughter of Southern
hearts that had never felt the sorrows OF
want, is now public eating-room, where
the refined mistress pours coffee at a side
board, while her nice looking colored girls
wait on the tables
One sees everywhere in the South marks oi
the terrible havoc of the war and evidences
of the complete despair of the people.
| cannot wonder at the feeling against
Northern people that is so manifest here. -
When we entered the dining hall at Meri-
dian and took our seats at the table, Mrs.
Gaines stock at a side table, her back to-
ward us. But we soon saw waiter wispeI

a heart-broken look. dropped my eyes,
and when l ventured to look up again she
was gone, and colored boy stood at her
place, and this is only one out of a thousand
who lost husbands, sons and home in that
terrible struggle Il Cor Chicago Republica.

THERE is famous 'sleeper" in the Bicetrr
Hospital, Paris, concerning whom the savans
and physicians are in despair. He has been
snoring away for six months, during which
time vain attempts have been made to shake,
rub, whip, and cudgel him into conscious
ness. He is fed through probe put into
his nose, whence the food passes into his
body, and he is growing fat under the treat
ment. He bids fair to become the champion
Rip Van Vinkle of the world.

A little girl in Boston has just begun a
beautiful charity the fragrance of which COM
mends it to adoption elsewhere. At her
suggestion the chapel of one of the central
churches is opened two mornings Of each
week for the reception of fresh fruits and
flowers to be distributed among the poor sick
of the city, who else might never know the
refreshment of fruit or flower. This distri-
button is made through an efficient commit
tee and the regular district visitors of the
long established benevolent societies, and
the offerings are to be made not only to the
patients of the hospitals on their beds of
pain, but to the destitute in their homes of
wretchedness. The charity is much more
than sentiment; the gifts are simple, as it
is little thing to give a cup of cold water
but the joy they will inpart is pure and great
and the young girl who has started the work
is worthy of praise as Of imitation.

This doting heart shall be.

And friends should prove untrue.

Should sorrow drive you to despair,
This last fond hope is given;

There's rest for you in Heaven.
So let us, while on earth we live,
Each others burdens share,

A crown awaits us there.

On wings of faith we'll rise
To that blest land where all is love,
