Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains great amount of waste mate rial taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, re- mains to poison the blood and be con- veyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and half pound of poisons :? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. /; but these or gans become overtasked in performing this labor, in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand the pressure, but become variously dis eased.
 The brain, which is the great electri- cal centre of all vitality, is unduly stimu- lated by the unhealthy blood which to perform it's office healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impair meMt of memory, dizzy, sleepy or ner- vous feelings, gloomy forbodings and ir- ritability of temper. The blood itsetf be- ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is so irritating g and poisonous that it produces discolor- ed brown spots, pimples, blotclfes and other eruptions, sores, bolls, sarbuncles and screfulous tumors. The stomach, bowels, and other organs spoken of, can- not escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dys- pepsia, diarrhea, female weakness, and many other forms of chronic disease, are among the necessary results. As re, medy for all these various manifestations of disease, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is positively unequaled. By it the liver and stomach are changed tc an active, healthy state, the appetite reg ulated and restored, the blood and SC cretions thoroughly purified and enrich ed, and the whole system renovated an6 built up anew.

There is no special activity in the dry goods market to be recorded of the past week. Cotton goods are quiet, with a small advance in the staple.
 Brown sheetings and shirtings have been in moderate demand, and stocks are light and heavy standard goods very firm. In the medium and lower grades there are signs of weakness.
 Bleached sheetings and sh,rtings are rather irregular, some. sales of specu- lative character having been made. In qualities below 12c. the supply is very light, and there is 8 tendency to return to former prices in grades that have been revised.
 Silecias are selling well in the clothing trade, and prices ire firm.
 Tickings continue ill good request, and corset jeans and satteens are remark ably light in stock, with orders ahead ol production.
 Prints are confined in movements tc the best styles, and these meet with ready sales. .... .E -.
 In cotton hosiery for spring large orders have been taken on some o1 the leading makes, and gauge underwear is in good inquiry. Other varieties ot hosiery are without much life.
 Woolen goods are quiet at present, but there are signs that promise early oper ations. Heavy goods now held bJ agents are firmer, and stocks are low Orders for spring goods are lively witt clothiers and jobbers.

A Lesson.

A laboring man, coming out of one of the gin-shops of London 8 few years ago, saw carriage and pair of horses standing near the door, and two women, richly dressed, came out of the building 2, the lower story of which was occuried as dram-shop, and were handed into the carriage by the proprietor of this "gin palace." The laborer stepped back into the bar-room and asked the owner
 "Whose is that establishment p
 The man of gin replied
 It is mine, and my wife and daugh- ter have gone out to ride"
 The laboring man bowed his head for Q moment, and then looked up and said with an energy that made the man of gin think his customer had sudden at. tack of delirium- --.
 "I see it I see it p
 "See what p
 "See where my wages for years have gone, helped pay for that carriage, and for those horses, and for the silks and laces and jewelry for your family the money that I have earned, that I should have used to furnish my wife and children good home and good food and clothing, have paid to you, and with my wages, and the wages of other labor ing men, you have supported your family in elegance and luxury. Hereaf- ter, my wife and my children shall have the benefit of my labor, and I will en- deavor to persuade my fellow-workmen to do as I intend, with the help ot Heaven, to do hereafter-give up entire ly the use of intoxicating liquors, and care for my own; remove them into a comfortable home as soon as possible, save my wages and you, man of gin, must then work or starve. see it see it The curse and the remedy-the poison and the antidote.'
 He.was man who saw the evil, and resolved that he would instantly apply the remedy.

WHO Is OLD.-A wise man will never rust out. As long as he can move or breathe he will be doing for himself, for his neighbor, or for posterity. Almost to the last hour of his life, Washington was at work so were Young and How ard and Newton. The vigor of their lives never decayed. No rust marred their spirits. It is foolish idea to SUD- pose that we must lie down and die be- cause we are old. Who is old? Not the man of energy, not the day laborer in science, art, or benevolence but he only who suffers his energies to waste away, and the springs of life to become motionless on whose hands the hours drag heavily, and to whom all things wear the garb of gloom. Is he old, should not be asked but is he active ? -can he breathe freely and move with agility There are scores of gray-head- ed men we should prefer, in any impor- tant enterprise, to those young men who fear and tremble at. approaching shadows, and turn pale at a lion in their path, at harsh word or 8 frown.
