As the ant season is at hand house
wives and others who are troubled with
them, may probably use the following trap
to advantage: Procure large sponge,
wash it well and press it dry which will
leave the cells quite open; then sprinkle
over it some fine sugar and place it where
the ants are the most troublesome. They
viii soon collect upon the sponge and take
up their abode in the cells. 1t is only ne
oessary to dip the sponge in boiling. hot
water, which will wash them out dead.
Put ON more sugar and set the trap for a

II. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: l have
been sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel bladder and kidney affections during which
time have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adj
vertsed, consulted my family physician in regard
to using your EqtraCtiBuchu.
did this because had used all kinds Of adver,
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients Ii was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and Juniper berries it occurred to me and nv phys
ician an excellent combination: and with his ad-
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
suting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced 10 use ii about eight months ago.
at which time vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using ii three weeks was
able to walk out felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my case at the time, but thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded TO defer, and il it would
effect perfect cure, knowing that it wonld be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me-
am now able to report that cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, and
ieel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and oGor nice tonic and in vigorator of the system
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion

We desire to call the attention of cores
pondents to the fact that our paper is not
so large as the leading New York dailies.
Our drawers are now full of communica-
tons from friends, many of them interest

they come in. In many instances we are
compelled to condense. By this we mean
no offence to correspondents, but are forced
to such course by sheer necessity If
letters do not appear promptly, our friends
must bear with us. We will give their
productions when we can, but cannot be
expected to perform impossibilities. We
are pleased to have them send us articles
giving items of interest in their several To-
calities, but we must beg of them to con-
dense rs much as possible. Brevity will
secure the publication of letters, unless
they contain something Objectionable,
while if they are too long, although they
may contain much that is valuable, we
cannot always have the time to condense
and>reduce them to such limits as will ena
bic us to give them to the public.

OF right choice food are his meals, ween.

To pleasure his dainty whim;
And the Wondering dust that years have made.

Creeping where no life is seen.
rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on. though he wears no wings,
And a stanch old heart has he
How closely he twineth, how tight he clinEs
To his friend the huge Oak Tree
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves,
As he joyously hugs and crawleth round
The rich mould of dead mems graves.
Creeping where grim death has been.
rare old plant is the Ivy green.
Whole ages have fed and their works dccayed,
And nations havescattered been;
But the stout old Ivy shall never fade
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant in its lonely days,
Shall fasten upon the past;
For the stateliest building man can raise,
Is the Ivy's food at last
Creeping on. where time has been,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.
