Well, there, Mr.. Smith, you couldn't

Violet T5nle.

Violet time is come again
Once more laughing through the rain
Spring with SUNNI crown advances.
Sunshine glittering on his laces.
Long live Spring 1.-The rainbow arch
Greets his coronation march
Green his banners, free and brave,
From each tree top rustling wave.
Birds before him fly in crowds;
Fast above him hy the clouds.
Swifter run rejoicing rivers
Sunbeam carts arc in his quiyers.
Where be treads prjmroses rise,
And the daisies ope their eyes
Blachbirds sing in every bush,
Answering the merry thrush.
Swallows are his heralds feet,
Faster than the pulses beat
Butterflies between the showers,
Tell the glad news to the flowers.
Our old Monarch, Winters dead
His crown is on another head
Sunbeams chase the envious rain
Violet time is come again.

A CoUpLE of travellers who were look

farm house in a sparcely settled district in
Kansas The house had only one room,

preached, piece of blanket was hung

moiety of the apartment, and darkness and
silence reigned throughout the dwelling,

SOME Western editor has been putting
a barkeeper. Hear him: "Mr. James
Smitherman, proprietor of the above insti-
tuition, last week asked us to give him-or
it-a puff, at the same time handing us a
greenback whose dimensions we shall not
mention. Wedo not know anything about
said saloon, but Jim says he keeps splen-
did whisky, and never sells mean-oh no.
Jim thinks the weary traveller should stop
at his rancho and wet his whistle as it
would help him along amazingly. No
doubt it would help him to s4uander his
money, waste his time, destroy his health,
begSar his family, gain the costumely of
society, embitter his whole life, make a
widow of his wife, and orphans of his chill
dren, cause him to fill drunkard's grave,
damn his soul and make more work for the
devil. Does this puff suit you, Jimf II
not, we will refund the money"

favor of DODD'S NERVINE AND INViGORA-
TOR medicine have used in my family for
some time past. My little daughter had been
suffering from severe Whooping Cough for seve-
raj weeks. and was much broken of rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss Of
sleep-her constitution and general health
seemed to be giving away. Various remedies
or paliatives were recommended by intimate
neighbors, but nothing was tried until our at
tention was called bya physician now in prac-
tce, to Dodd's Nervina. This we procured and
commenced using at once--with an effect i'm
mediate and surprising. AS the commissions
were hardest at night, We began by giving the
Nervine on her going to bed, The first dose
administered made its impression the cough
became less frequent, and very much less Sc
vere-she soon got her accustomed sleep-rap-
idly revived in health and vigor-and in q few
days was as well as ever. WHAT was left of the
Whooping Cough was thereafter of no trouble.
OF course l cannot but consider DOdd's Nervine
and invigorator an invaluable remedy for this
distressing malady. l may add; that l have
since recommended it to several family friends

cry case to be equally successful. 1t needs only

THE MEDICINE FOR
w III OOpI ING COUGH

Dodd's Nervine and Invgorator gives agrcca =
Whooping Cough. This is n complaint that all
children are expected to have and when it
comes. strange to say, they are left to tigl t it
through as best they can, little nothing be-
ing done to break its intensity or help the suf-
ferers along. And when it is reflected that very
many of the diseases Of older and adult years
have their origin in the tear aud strain of Whoop-
ing Couch, this neglect would be utterly unac =
countable but for the fact that children's dis
eases, like many of the weaknesses of women
are considered so much matter of course that
people have become stoically unconcerned about
them. Let them cough it through, rs we did
seems generally to be the unfeeling word.
Whooping Cough is nervous disease, and
Dodds Nervine and Invigorator treats it with
complete success. Mothers try it, and save
your little ones the worst agoncs of this dis
tressng affection. A sure and b. nliicent Medi-
