Peculiar Adaptability-- BraRdreth's Pills.
Their peculiar ~adaptability to all cOnstitu-
tiOns as cleansers OF the bowels and the blood
has established their great merit. They re-
store the liver, the spleen and even the heart
TO healthy action when other remedies have
been used without producing any benefit.
They do not expose those who use them TO
any danger, being as safe as salutary.

" Don't slop over the old man said,
As he placed his hand on the young mans head
Go it, by all means, go it fast,
&c it while leather and horse.shoes last
Go it while hide and hair on horse,
Will hold together. Oh, go it, of co=rse-
Go it as rapidly as you can,
But don't Slop over, my dea- young man.
" Don't slop over. You'll find some day
That keeping an eye to the windward will pay.
horse may run little too long,
A preacher preach just fraction too strong,
And poet who pieases the world with rhymes
May write and regret it in after times.
Keep the end of the effort in view.
And don't sop over, whatever you do.
Don't sop over. The wisest men
Are bound to slop over now and then;
And yet the wisest at work or feast
Are the very ones who blunder the least.
Those who for split milk never wall
Are the very ones who carry the stcadirst pail.
Wherever you are, go in for the fat;
But don't slop overland freeze to that.
Don't slop over; distrust yourself,
Ner always reach to the highest shelf.
The next to the highest will generally do,
And answer the needs of such as you.
Climb, of course, but always stop
And take breath little this side the top /;
And SO you will reach it in wind and strong
without slopping over. Thus ends my song"

ACT WISELY, IF You 'WOULD.Do
WELL" Once upon a time" GER
tain man was granted all he. might
be able to carry across the sea in
great ship. He employed laborers
and loaded his ship with costly mer-
chaadise to its utmost capacity. He
set sail with fond ahtfcipations of the
great wealth he was about to possess.
Before the voyage was ended he
realized his folly. Hunger came and
would not be appeased with hope of
future feasting, or heaps of. riches.
Fortunately, a proyisioh,laden vessel
was met, and our avaricicus man was
too glad to exchange half his wealth
for ship stores. This still left him
halt, after all the papgs of hunger
and trouble of loading and unloading.
But, hold. He was only entitled to
what he carried across, and of course
had to render an account, of, what he
took away, and did not carry across
so this tookthe other half he had left.
MORAL.-PlaRt all cotton, starve

used and will need until you make
