to become very popular, from the fact that they
are genuine in every sense of tire term-that is.
they derive their stimulus from the powerful |
tonic nature of the roots and herbs of which they
are composed, and hence their effect is natural.

1 Worked, and Earned 1t.

A FEW weeks ago, gentleman living
in an Eastern town was called out OF his
bed one morning by several vigorous raps
upon his front-dOor. Hastily dressing
himself, he responded to the call, and
found standing upon the step an uncouth,
roughly clad boy, with an axe on his
shoulder, who, hastily thrusting his hand
into his pantaloons pocket, drew out q
small roll, and handing it to Judge H,
said: Il 5aH ,799l
There's c,seventy-fve dollars, which l
want you to put in the savings-bank," and
hastily turned on his heel and started
away. fsta ta
The Judge, eighty Disconnected at the
curious proceeding, scarcely knew what
to say, till at length, recovering his wits,
he cried out after the boy:
"Stop come back here. How did you
come by this money!"
~ WORKED, AND EARNED IT, sir. My
time was out last night, and / got my
money. I've got a job chopping, which
l began on this morning, and thought
I'd leave the money with you % / went
to work, and then it wouldn't take mp my
time this evening when want to study"
What Il your name, my boy" asked
the Judge.
:" wrote 1t on the paper that ! wrap
ped the money up in" shouted the little
wood-chopper % he passed on to his
work.
That boys note for thousand dollars
due ten years hence would be ~ good as
gold. Ifhe has his health, he viii be worth
double that then.
s He Is beginning in the right way. The
very day his time was out for the summer,
he entered upon another job, and imme-
1iately placed the money he had worked
for where that would work for him; and
with an economy Of time which is more to
bepraised than his wise forethought with
regard to money, he could not endure to
have Q moment devoted to any thing but
his books when the long evenings came.
Five years from to day, with . good
education, with good habits. with q few
hundred dollaxA which he has eaIned ~
work, his chances for place In the bust
