THE POT OF PANSIES.

he met his friend, Louis Steadman.

his cigar from his lips, "you must

Louis enthusiastically Are they not

Alfred indifferently; "but [ wouldn't

could afford it"
"These cost no more than five of
your cigars, and I know they give us
all hundred times more pleasure ::
yes, and far better kind of pleasure,
too. Your indulgence is only running
you. You know this, ALI; but these
flowers do us good, both in body and
mind"
"That'll do, old fellow; I haven't
time for one of your regular sermons
tonight, but I'll wish you much ioy
over your flowers" and with careless
goodnight he sauntered on.
Louis bounded up the steps of his
home, sure of glad welcome. The
bright eyes and happy faces which gath
cred about his simple gift, spoke more
than words could express; and, after
being duly admired, they were placed
IN the sunny window, beside the beau
tlful fuchsias and sweet geraniums al
ready blooming there.
Surely he had gained far more in their
sweet perfume and their charming pres

Among the many improvements we would particu-

The invention and use of centre pinion of peculiar

Parisians Badly Sold.

Paris has been very much astonish-
ed to learn that one of it's pet heroes,
Sergeant Hot, was in reality Bavarian
lieutenant who was playing the part of
a spy. For a long time Hotf was the
object of universal admiration. Gen.
Trochu conferred the Legion of Honor
upon him for having slain 30 Prussians
Gen. Schmitz gave him an official bull
letin, and he was interviewed by jour
nalists Hoff generally used to go out
alone at night, and bring back helmets
and muskets in proof of the amount of
business he had performed. On the
I'd of December Hoff, much to the grief
of his comrades, disappeared, and the
government was greatly blamed for
having allowed such valuable man to
go into action like common mortal.
In some quarters it was considered that
Hoff should have replaced Trochu.-
When it was supposed that he had fall
en-, a subscription was raised for his
disconsolate "widow," which was car
ried to that lady with the greatest re-
spect by four officers (reminding one of
Monsieur Malbrook's funeral. To the
establishment of the military deputa-
ton, the first exclamation of the bereav-
ed one on seeing men in uniform en-
ter her apartment was, 81 didn't know
he was Prussian till the other day. !"
Tableaul Paris can't help laughing at
having been outwitted, shrugs it's
shoulders, and says, " SOnanaes nous
betes 2" According to the francs tir-
eurs Hoff has since been caught and ex-
ecuted.

To Physicians
New York. August 18th. 1868

NEW YORK, August 10th, 1868.
Allow me to call your attention to my
PREPARATION OF COMPOUND
EXTRACT BUCHU. The component
parts are BUCHU, Lone LEAF,
CUBEBS JUNIPER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoN:-Buc in
vacuo. juniper Berries, by distillation,
to form fine gin. Cubebs extracted
by displacement with spirits obtained
from Juniper Berries; very little sugar
is used, and small proportion of spirit.
It is more palatable than any now in
use.
Buchu, as prepared by druggists is of
a ozark color. 1t is plant that emits
its fragrance; the action of a flame de-
stroys this Gts active principle leaving
a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine
is the color of ingredients. The Buehu
in my preparation predominates. The
smallest quantity of the other ingredi-
ents are added to prevent fermentation;
upon inspection it will be found not to
be Tlncture, as made in Pharmacop9a,
nor is it syrup-and therefore can be
used in cases where cases where fever
and inflammation exist. In this you
have the knowledge of the ingredients
and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with a
trial, and that upon inspection it will
meet with your appreciation.
With feeling of profound confidence,
am very respectfully,
H. T. HELMBOLD,
Chemist and Druggist of 10 years
experience.

The Power of Children,

A man was leaning, much intoxicated
against tree; some little girls coming
from school saw him there, and at once
said to each other "what shall we do
for him ~
Presently, said one, "Oh, I'll tell you,
let's sing him temperance song.n
And so they did; collecting around
him, they sang
Away the bowl, away the bowl, y
and so on in beautiful tones.
The poor fellow enjoyed the singing.
and when they had finished that song,
said essing again, little girls, sing again ="
We will, they said, E'if you will
sign the temperance pledge"
No, no; we are not at a temper
ance meeting; there are no pledges
here.n
& have a pledge" cried one; and
!" have pencil" cried another, and
holding up the pledge and pencil, they
besought him to sign it.
No, no [ won't sign it now. Sing
for me-"
SO they sang again
g The drink that's in the drunkards bowl.
Is not the drink for me-
ooh, do sing that again." said he
as he wiped the tears from his ewes.
No, no more" said they, ''unless
you'll sign the pledge; sign, and we'll
sing it for you"
He pleaded for the singing, but they
were firm, and declared they would 90
away if he would not sign.
But, said the poor fellow, striving
to find an excuse, "there's no table
here, how can I write without table ?n
At this a modest, quiet, pretty little
creature, with a finger on her lips, came
and said, eyes, you can spread the
pledge on the crown of your hat, and I
will hold it for YOU
Off came the hat, the child held it..
and the pledge was signed, and the lit
tie ones burst out with
SsT " On, water for me, bright water for me-
Give wine to the tremulous debauchee"
[ heard that man in Worcester town
hall, with uplifted hands and auivering
lips say, g I thank God for the sympa7
thy of those children. I shall thank
God to all eternity that He sent those
little children as messengers of mercy
to me. John b. Cough.
