A HUMBUG.

How often We hear this expression from per-
sons reading advertisements of Patent Medicines,
and in nine cases out of ten they may be right.
It is over % years since introduced DIR. Tobias
Venetian Liniment, to the public. had no
money to advertise it, so left it for sale with a
few druggists and storekeepers through a small
section of the country, many taking it with great
reluctance; but told them to let any one have
it, and if it did not do all 1 stated on my ram
phlet, no one need pay for it. In some stores two
or three bottles were taken on trial by persons
present. 1 was, by many, thought crazy, and
that would be the last they would see of me.
But knew my medicine was no humbug. In
about two months began to receive orders for
more Liniment, some calling it my valuable Lini-
ment, who had refused to sign a receipt when /
left it at their store. Nowm sales are millions
of bottles yearly, and all for cash. I warrant il

pEATTH,s REST DEFENCE.

s'The weak eateth hebs," says st. Paul, so that
eighteen hundred years ago the value OF medi-
ciual plants was appreciated. In the Old Testa-
ment botanical remedies are repeatedly recon-
mended, but in no passage of sacred history is
man recommended to swallow calomel, or blue
pill, or any other mineral preparation. The SICK
were directed to eat hebs to strengthen them, to
purify them, to heal them, to restore them. In
that day the art of making vegetable extracts
was unknown. The herbal medicines were mere
infusions.
1t was reserved for later age to unite the
sanitary essences Of tonic, aperient and antioll-
ious roots, banks, and plants, with an active
| through the debilitated or disordered system.
The browning triumph of this effective mode OF
concentrating and applying the virtues OF medi-
cinal vegetables was achieved IN the production
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Never before
had a perfectly pure alcoholic stimulant been
combined with the expressed juices of the finest
specifics OF the vegetable kingdom. Never yet,
though eighteen years have elapsed since Its IN

health under unfavorable circumstances, such as
sedentary pursuits undue bodily or mental ex-
ertion, hardship, privation and exposure.

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.---In his first
paper on "What Know of Farming
Mr.. Greeley relates the following:
An energetic farmer bought, some
twenty-five years ago, large grazing
farm in Northern Vermont, consisting Of
some $50 acres, and costing him about
$4,000. He had small stock of cattle,
which was all his land would carry but
he resolved to increase that stock by a,
least ten per cent per annum, and to SO
improve his land, by cultivation, fertile.
ing, clover, &C., that it would amply carry
that increase. Fifteen years later be
sold out farm and stock for $4,000, and
migrated to the West. I did not under
stand that he was specially hard worker
but only good manager, who kept his
eyes wide open, let nothing go to waste
and steadily devoted his energies and
means to the improvement of his STOCK
and his farm.

The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-The
ratification of the 10Th amendment is now
regarded as certain. The approval OF
Iowa, Rhode Island, Maine and Nebraska
is assured, and that will make twenty
seven States, which will be within one OF
the full number required. The recent
elections in Mississippi and Texas show
that those States may be surely counted
on, especially as they must ratify as a
condition precedent to admission. These
two States make twenty-nine, one more
than is needed. Georgia, in this view,
becomes superAuous, her vote either way
meaning nothing, and inccnstant New
York can do its worst.

seem TO possess the quality of
ACCUMULATING ELECTRICITY
and imparting it to the body, whereby the circu-
lation of the blood becomes equalized upon the
parts where applied, causing pain and morbid
action to cease. The Porous Plasters are flexible
and found of a great help to those who have
weak backs, or pain in the side. Especially are
they valuable to those who have neglected colds.
They are often preventives of Consumption nay,
they are believed to have loosened the grasp OF
this terrible affection, and been mainly instru-
mental in effecting cure. In variable climates
they should be worn on the breast or between
the shoulders, or over the kidneys, by those who
are subject to take cold easily.

DARING OUTBAGE.--On Wednesday
evening last the house of Mr.. Abel Baker,
III Hamilton, Mass, was entered by two
robbers, just after Mr.. B. had retired.
Mr.. Baker is an old gentleman, of consid-
cradle means, about eighty years of age,
and quite feeble. The ladies, one of them
sister of Mr.. B., were in their sleeping
rooms, in their night-dresses, just prepar-
ing to go to bed, when the robbers APP
peared upon the scene, and ordered them
into the room occupied by the old!gentle-
man, with the view, no doubt, to prevent
their giving an alarm. The ruffians then
made demand upon Mr.. Baker to give
up all the money he had in the house.
Mr.. b. had in the house about $500 in
gold and $500 in bills. This money was
handed over, and the robbers assured
that it was all there was in the house.
They were not satisfied, but proceeded to
search for themselves. They overhauled
the bed upon which Mr.. B. was lying,
but finding nothing to prevent his getting
up and giving the alarm, cut the cords in
the bed, and afterward tied him down in
most inhuman manner, leaving its help
less occupant in very uncomfortable
position. They then drove the two ladies
into an upper chamber, the door of which
they locked, and made good their escape.
Two negroes, belonging to the town OF
Essex, named Frank Manuel and Abra.
ham Williams, aged respectively twenty
and twenty-three years, were arrested
next day, and upon being confronted by
the persons they used SO unceremoniously,
were fully identified as the parties who
committed the outrage.

The Jolly Old Pedagogue.

Twas a jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
His form was bent and his gait was slow,
His long thin hair was white as snow,
But wonderful twinkle shone In his eye
And he sang every night as he went to bed,
"Let us be happy down here below;
The living should live though the dead be dead,
Said the jolly old pedagogue long ago.
He taught his scholars the rule of three,
Writing and and reading and history, too;
He took the little ones up on his knee,
For kind old heart in his breast had he,
And the wants of the lttlest child he knew.
LEARN when you're young,' he often said,
ssTheres much to enjoy down here below,
Life for the living and rest for the dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
With the stupidest boy he was kind and cool,
Speaking only in gentlest tones:
The rod was hardly known in his school
Whipping, to him, was barbarous rule,
And too hard work for his poor old bones;
Beside, it was painful he sometimes said
"We must make life pleasant here below,
The living need charity more than the dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
BE lived in the house by the hawthorne lane,
With the roses and woodbine over the door;
His room was quiet, and neat and plain,
But a spirit of comfort there held reign,
And made him forget he was old and poor;
81 need so little,'' he often said,
Sand my friends and relatives here below
Won't litigate over me when 1 am dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
Then the jolly old pedagogue's wrinkled fac
Melted all over in sunshiny smiles;
He stirred his glass with an old school grace;
Chuckled and slipped, and prattled apace,
Till the house grew merry from cellar to tiles
''I'm pretty old man." he gently said;
"I'ye fingered long time here below;
But my heart is fresh if my youth is dead -
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He Smoked his pipe in the balmy air
Every night when the sun went down,
While the soft wind played in his silvery hair,
Leaving the tenderest kisses there
On the jolly old pedagogues jolly old crown,
And feeling the kisses, he smiled and said,
! "'Twas glorious world down here below
Why wait for happiness till we are dead ?"
| Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He sat at his door one summer night
! After the sun had sunk in the west,
And the lingering beams of golden light
Made his kindly old face look warm and bright
| While the odorous night wind whispered rest
| Gently, gently, he bowed his head
! There were angels waiting for him, know;
He was sure of his happiness living or dead.
! This Jolly old pedagogue, long ago.

4 QUEER AFFAIR.-A German in ST.
Louis recently dreamed that he fell into
a trance, was put Unto a coffin, had the
service read over him, heard his wife
weep, and finally kicked the lid off and
got out. On Christmas he died, but his
wife, remembering the dream, refused to
have him buried. Two witches, man
and woman, were summoned to raise him
from the decd. The first seized one of the
hands of the dead man, and saying it in
his palm, struck it repeatedly with the
fingers of the other hand, caying in a
deep sepulchral voice, 81 command you to
rise from the dead in the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth The woman, at the
same time, stopped over the corpse, and
placing her hand under the neck, raised
the head upon her bosom. The man re-
peated, ''In the name of Jesus Christ OF
Nazareth, command you to rise !" But
the deceased was obstinate, and the pa
tience of the mourners being exhausted,
they kicked the witches down stairs, and
the funeral proceeded.

WOIlu.
Hon. John Howe of Brandon, on being
introduced, said he thought with all ou1
appreciation of their advantages We
utterly failed to realize the benefits that
railroads were to people. He remem'
bered the first railroad opened in New
England and had kept watch of their ex
tension throughout the United States
and observed the mighty results that had
flowed from them. He related the ex
perience of Mr.. Harnden establishing tn,
express business, which had grown so rap
idly that seventy-ive millions of dollars
was now employed in that branch o
transportation. He was familiar will
the enterprise of Horace Gray in estab
fishing the iron works at Port Henry
He made failure of it for want of prope,
and speedy means of transportation, blu
he. was only little ahead of the times
We had only to consider what is nov
being accomplished and what the,
promise in the future to realize the ad
vantages to be derived from means o
communication that will distribute thu
products of those iron mountains TO al
sections of the country. He could no
better express his opinion of their duty
than in using the remark of Sidney
Smith when called upon to make an ad
dress in behalf of the suffering poor. Hi
reputation drew together large Assem-
bly,. He remarked that he supposed the,
expected long speech, but in that the.
would be disappointed. His entire ad
dress consisted of these words: "He tina
giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord
Come down with your money"
! Mr.. Clark, in response to call, sal
that he was not there to speak, but to re
port what the people were doing and th
