LITTLE SWEETNESS.
She Tells All About What is Going
on at the Hotel

I'm only little girl, but l think l
have as much right to say what l want
to about things, as boy. hate boys;
they're SO mean; they always grab all
the strawberries at the dinner table, and
never tell us when they are going to
have any fun. Only l like Gus Rodgers.
The other day Gus told me he was GO
ing to let off some fire works, and he
let Bessie Fette and ME go and look at
them. All Of us live in hotel, and
his mothers room has a window with a
balcony. His mother has gone out to
buy some creme de lis to put on her face;
and he went and got eleven Loxes Of
lucifer matches, and ever so many pieces
of CASTLE soap; he steeled it from the
housekeeper. Just when she went to
put them in her closet, Gus went and
told her Mrs. Nettle wanted her min
ute and while she was gone, he grabbed
the soap and matches, and when she
came back, he watched her; and got
real mad, and she scolded Della, (that
is the chamber maid, and said she
knowed she did it, and was real glad,
because when 1 was turning somersets

Advice to a Young Man.

The following letter was addressed to
a young man who had fallen in love with
a girl, aud was about to start on q cam
paign against her:
MY DEAR FRIEND-Before you begin
your assaults upon the affections Of Miss
Smith, with whom you tell me you are
in love, let me offer you few words of
counsel. Never be ashamed to take ad-
vice from an older man than yourself.
Gray hairs bring wisdom, discretion,
and he who with simple reverence
heeds the warnings that fall from aged
lips, and guides his footsteps thereby,
will win enduring success, and be
blessed in generation. It was venera-

It has not failed in single instance to have the wished for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. lam free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the abest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can. get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. l am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the reguiar line of NJ.

For my part, l shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to command-not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir.

Having had indubitable evidence Of its prompt and certain effects from the testimo- nv of a multitude of respectable citizens, among whom are classed some of our best phvsicians, we do not hesitate to recommend this Preparation in all cases of Fever and Arue and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the facts in our possession of it's intrinsic value, if would not be tod much for us 10 state that when the directions are strictly complied with, we warrant a cure in every case where if is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and the cheapcst medicine in the world. There fore. in truth. it may be declared the day is not far distant when it must Dc appreciated and used in every household where Fever and Arue or Chlls and Fever is found to exist. 1 The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects Of mala- rious poison in the human system, can only explain it's extraordinary agency in the speedy, thorough and permanent cure Of Cbills and Fever or Fever and Aguc, and all their kindred diseases, in whatever form of Bilious Complaints they may make their ap- pearance.
 As it's name imports, it is Tonic of rare and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and harmless ingredients, and are so united as to form n compound alike skillful in art. beau tiful in appearance, and can be taken with safety to the most delicate constitutions. It is the result of a lifetime of experience and practice in q Southern climate, and was nev- CT known to fail, even where all othe reme- dies had been tried in vain.
 Those who are unacquainted with the ex- traordinary properties of this home produc- ton, manufactured from Roots and Plants indigenous to the soil of our sunny South, land Lence adapted to the cure of Southern climatic diseases) are respectfully referred to the certificates of respectable citizens whose names are embraced in a pamphlet which accompanies each bottle; also the en- dorsemcnts of the press in all the Southern States, indicating the many thousand cures already performed by our justly celebrated Texas Tonic Syrup.
 The reports from hundreds of Druggists, Merchants and Dealers, from all.parts of the country, are uniform in stating the medicine is safe, certain and reliable, as n substitute for Quinine and the poisonous compounds heretofore generally sold and is rapidly supplanting everything of this class. As home enterprise it especially com mends itself to the people of this section of the country, who are now struggling in an effort to do away with old prejudices in favor of foreign produce, and may we not hope foreign .sQuack Nostrums,' the proprietors of which. in most cases, are governed by mo- thing but mercenary motives. know nothing of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and care nothing for our interests, except to en- ticc our people into tue use of their vile mixtures.
