We have thousands upon thousands OF the certif-
Gates Of their remarkable cures OF the following
complaints, but such cures are known In every
neighborhood, and we need not publish them
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates;
containing neither calomel or any deleterious
drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody
Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and
makes them pleasant to take, While being purely
vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal vlscera to purify the blood and stimulate

the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs OF
the body, restoring their irregular action 10 hean

SON the Rrafu.D

Formerly it was the fashion to charge
certain individuals with having "nigger
on the brain;" certain others with hav-
ing temperance on the brain; others
still with having socialism, or vegeta-
rianism, education, or something else on
the brain.
The purport of this accusation is, that
a person may be so deeply interested in
and devote so much attention to spec
ial idea as to make it an all-absorbing
topic with him The charge is made in
derision. 1t is sneer-an expression OF
contempt.
A moments reflection, however, tells
every thinking person who it is that
deserves the sneer-he who has some
thing on the brain or he who has moth
ing on the brain-he who has sufficient
cerebral activity to take am impression
and to make an impression, or he whose
organ of the mind is so sluggish that it
can neither act for itself nor be acted
upon by anything of Importance.
The great trouble with the world is
that there are so many who nave moth
ing on the brain. If one fail in business,
it argues that either he has not taken
proper interest in his proper business, or
he has not the requisite capacity. The
farmer who produces but half a crop of
wheat, corn, oats or what not, when the
same amount of hard labor would pro-
duce full crop, evidently has not a0ri-
culture sufficiently on the brain. The
mechanic who gets four to five dollars
per day, and while homeless, saves
nothing to work out his own independ-
ence, and on departing this life place
his family above charity and the poor
house, must sssursdly have something,

LincOln,s old Homo,

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton recently
made visit to Mr.. Lincoln's former
home in Springfield, Illinois, concern
ing which she writes as follows: The
same maps and pictures on which he
had gazed still decorated the walls, with
the addition of an engraving of Carpen-
ter's picture of Mr.. Lincoln and his
Cabinet. A broken looking glass that
had often reflected those sad features,
still hangs in its accustomed place.
There, too, stands the old book case,
with pigeon holes of papers, just as Mr..
Lincoln left them; no curious eye has
yet seen their contents; no irreverent
hand has yet united single knot. As
| heard that fact, / was lost in admira-
tion at the wonderful forbearance and
self control of the genus homo. In one
corner of the bookcase was large
wasp's nest, showing how undisturbed
it is left from year to year. l looked
over the second volume of Mr.. Hern-
don's manuscript of Mr. Lincoln's life,
valuable work when completed. From
what I saw of the author in long con-
versation the next day, feel his will
not be mere outward history of facts,
but of the inner life, of the sentiments,
affections and philosophy of clear moral
perception, of deep spiritual insight, a
man of faith, of enthusiasm with what
is called woman's intuition. Speaking
of Mr.. Lincoln's chronic melancholy,
he said, in his poetical way, 'Mr. Lin
coins sadness ct times dripped from him
like dew" Though we hear so much of
his jokes and good stories, his joviality
was only on the surface, and seldom en-
joyed by those who met him daily.

if anything on the brain that does not
most nearly concern him and his. NJ.
The young man who passes his time
in idleness, or if industrious, squanders
all his earnings on dress or drink, evil
IDENTIFY has brain that is not suscepti-
BILE of such impressions as are of the
greatest Importance to him.. Every
young man should have three things on
the brain-1. Self-improvement;2 2. Inde-
pendence and 8. No marriage until he
has secured home in which to truly
organize the family relation.
There are so many who disregard all
the plain suggestions of wisdom that
the influence of weakness in the superb
or organ is entirely just; and when men
and women act in an utterly irrational
manner, it would not do them very
great violence to say that they are BRAIN
less.
The best advice to every one is to
straight way get something on the
brain. If a single idea is as much as one
can manage, do let him take that and
press on with all his mind, might and
soul. 1t were better to take the idea
which most nearly concerns ones well
fare in life. If the brain is capable OF
more, take on more-the more the bet
ter. If one cannot get anything on the
brain but money, then pursue money
pursue it vigorously-do your best. So
if any great moral or political idea takes
possession of the whole organ, then pray
for and work for it. Show your friends
and neighbors, and the world also, If
possible, that you are in earnest.
Do not suffer it to be inferred that be-
cause you have no great thought or OBJ
ject in life, nothing on the brain, you
L
taking on anything. 1t is the arbiter Of
every ones destiny. 1t is better than
thousands in cash. It is the hope of the
poor man, and should be the pride of
the rich. Without it the millions that
may be inherited will be lost; with it
families are raised from penury and deg
radiation to the head of affairs. Get
something on the brain, o, young man,
and that speedily.

WAR OF THE IDLE AGAINST THE
BUsY.-Not the least of the troubles OF
a busy man is to protect himself, as he
sits in his office or goes about the ways
of the world, from the great banditti OF
the idle. Does an idle man like conver-
sation; he seeks it, not from some man
equally yawning and vacant with him.
self, but with some active and we'll
plenished mind which cannot properly
spare him a moment, though he gener-
ally contrives to take an hour. The idle
never think of plundering the idle; they
are set of luxurious dogs, aud regard
no booty as worth having, unless it be a
serious deprivation to its former owners.
AN hour or two filched from half en-
ployed man, they regard as very poor
spoil. They know he can make it up
some other time. 1t is the fully or over
occupied man whom they like to prey
upon. Five minutes from such person
is a greater acquisition than q whole
day from one who has only little to
do.

IMMORTALITY OF THE BEAUTIFUL
There is nothing-no, nothing-beauti-
full and good that dies and is forgotten.
An infant, prattling child. dying in

of heaven but does its blessed work on
earth in those VIII loved it here. Deadl
Oh, il the good deeds of human creatures

how much charity, mercy, and purified
affection would be seen to have th cir

Tho Cuba Rusiness.

For three or four weeks prior to thd
end of Mr.. Johnson's erm as President,
agents of Cuban revOlutionists were iH
Washington urging the late administer
tion to recognize them as belligerents.
They received no direct encouragement
from Mr.. johnson, who, however much
he may have favored the petition, was
probably restrained from any action in
the matter by Mr.. Seward, who favored
and advised the issuing of a proclama-
ton forbidding the form tion of armed
expeditions and recruiting in the United
States in aid of the Cuban revolutionists,
this country being at peace with SPAN,
and Cuba being one of her dependencies.
So the matter stood at the conclusion OF
Mr.. JohnsOn's term. Immediately upon
the Inauguration of General Grlnt as
President, the agents of the Cuban in
surgents renewed their efforts for recog-
milton, and found favor and encourage
ment in both branches of Congress, and,
fe is said, received encouragement from
the Executive. These facts becoming
known to the Spanish embassy at WASH
ington, and action being taken lesking
in this recognition in the form of reso-
luton in the House, remonstrance has
been made by the Spanish minister to
our government. In view of possible
difficulties that may arise from this state
of affairs, the government, Tuesday.
through the Navy Department ordered
two iron-clad vessels to proceed at once
to Key West, and that part of the
Pacific squadron proceed Immediately to
Cuban waters.

Is There any Falling or In Business.

1t suits the purpose of certain class
of financial writers, who think, or at
least profess to think, that the country
is utterly bankrupt while specie pay
ments are suspended and high tariff is
in operation, to represent trade as at a
stand still, that confidence is paralyzed,
that exports have ceased, that manufac-
turers are ruined, and farmers are on tine
brink of despair. And they lay the
whole blame of this disastrous condition
of things upon the high prices of COM
modities, the high prices being the nat
ural result of high tariffan an inflated
currency But they make no attempts
to sustain their melancholy theory by
any citations of facts, for the very good
reason that the facts are all against their
line of argument. 1t is extremely diff
cult to collect statistics, with anything
like an approximation to correctness, of
current transactions in trade; but there
are certain tests by which the actual
condition of a conntry, touching its COM
mercial prosperity. may be positively
known. The rates of labor, the rent of
houses, the dividends of transportation
companies and of banks, are certain in
dications of the general condition of the
country. If these are high and regular
ly maintained the country must be pros

price of labor is, with us, not only higher
than was ever before known, but is
steadily on the increase, notwithstand-l
ing the enormous increase of foreign
immigratio.. Our transportation COM
panies were never earning more money,
or paying better dividends. Our banking
companies never maintained a higher
credit than they now do, nor did their
stocks ever command a higher premium /
in the market. AS for rents, they show
no evidence of decline, and real estate
in the vicinity of our large towns and
cities is constantly on the rise. If our
commerce were ON the decline all these
conditions would be reversed; labor
would be low, rents would decline, the
banks would fail, real estate would so
down, immigration would cease, and the
railway companies would be compelled
to suspend their dividends.-[New York
