"She Works for a Living"

Commend us to the girl of whom it is
sneeringly said, ''she works for living"
In her we are always sure of true woman
"a real lady. True, we are not prepared
to see mincing step, naughty lip, a
fashionable dress, or a splendid string of
nonsense about balls and young men, or
the new and the next party-no, no; but
we are prepared tohear the coming of a wo-
man; neat dress, mild brow, and t,
witness movements that would not disgrace
an angel.
You who are looking for wives and com
papions, turn from the fashionable, naughty
girls, and select one of those who work
for living, and never-our word for it
will you repent your choice. You want
substantial friend, and not help EAT-a
councillor, and not simpleton. You may
not be able to carry piano into your house,
but you can buy a sewing machine or
set of knitting needles If you cannot buy
ticket for the ball, you can visit some
afflicted ~neighbor
Be careful, then, when you look, for
companions and when you choose. We
know many foolish man who, instead of
selecting an industrious and prudent wo-
man for wife, took one from fashionable
stock, and is now lamenting his folly in
dust and ashes. He ran into the fire with
his eyes wide open, and who but himself
is to blame for it?
The time was when ladies visited and
took work with them This is the reason
why we had such excellent mothers. How
singular would gay woman look in a
fashionable circle darning her fathers
stocking! Would not her companions
laugh at her? And yet such woman
would be prize to somebody. Blessed is
the man who chooses for his wife one from
the despised girls '.who work for a living"

A gentleman was chiding his son for
staying out late at night, or rather early
next morning, and said why, when
I was of your age my father would not
allow me to go out of the house after dark. !"
"Then you had deuce of father, you
had" sneered the young profigate; where
upon the father very rashly vociferated, 81

Ayers Cherry PectOral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as 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 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 as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young Children 1t ls
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
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
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs all
should he provided with this antidote for them
Although settled Consumption Is thought IN
curabe Still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CheT7y Pect0raI. 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
foraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro
lection from it.
4sthnla is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectOrdi in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do more
than the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
