Are you suffering from costiveuess or in
need of an efficient pufgatiye? Edward Will
der's Family Pills are vegetable tonic and
invigorant of uncommon excellence. For
constipation and biliousness they are a certain
remedy. By their action they both revive and
refresh the overloaded system. Nor is this
all. There is nothing in their composition
which is not vegetable. They are potent for
good among the strong and robust. They are
the one aperient or laxative needed by the del
icate and weakly. The liver, the great secre-
tive gland of the body, determines both the
purity of the blood and the condition of the
bowels. These pills contain herbs, gums,
roots, and barks, every one of which is ccle-
brated as an ambitious remedy, and which, if
there be a single ascertained fact in medicine,
constitute the most genial and perfectly salts
factory purgative yet discovered. They do
nor rasp or injure. They clean out the de-
PRAYED and vitiated secretiens Of the aIimen-
tary canal. They stimulate and persuade the
liver. They tone the stomach, and through IL
the brain and nerves. They do not irritate-
they restore. In all the Phlegmasia, Rheum-
atism, Erysipelas, Vertigo, Dizziness, Infiam-
nation of the Brain, Liver, Kidneys, and
Bladder, and in every other affection in which
purgatiye is desirable, these pills are beyond
all peradventure a true panacea. Hence use
none other, as they can do you no harm, and
their effects are invariably beneficial.

A FUNNY MIsTAKE.-A capital joke,
says the New Jersey Patriot, and ali
the more palatable because it is true
and can be vouched, took place a few
Sundays since at one of the prominent
Fourth street churches. 1t seems that
worthy deacon had been very indus
trious in selling new church book,
costing Is cents. AT the service in ques-
ton the minister, just before dismiss
ing the congregation, rose and said
"All who have children to baptize will
please present them next Sabbath
The deacon, who. by the way is q little
deaf, and having an eye TO sell the book,
andssupposing his pastor was referring
to them, Immediately jumped up and
shouted "All you who haven't any can
get as many as you want by calling on
me, at 20 cents EACH The preacher
looked cross-eyed at the brothers, the
brothers at the clergyman, the audiences
punched the audience in the side, the
bubble grew larger, until it burst IN
loud gu1faw. Ladies' colored up, GRIM
soned and thanked the Lord for the low
price of peopieing the earth There
| was no benediction that morning worth
speaking of.

Have you for years been suffering with Ague
and Fever or Chills and Fever, which so rack
the system? If so, go at once and get bottle
of Edward Wilder's Chill Tonic, as it is boldly
asserted that, in It's line, and for the diseases
for which it is recommended, there is no med
icine known that will at all compare with il.
1t is a certain, aspeedy. permanent cure
for every disease arising from miasma or MIA
laria. No form of Intermittent or Remittent
Fever can resistu i. Quotidian, Tertian, Ruar-
tian, and Twenty-one day Chills are obliged
to yield to it. 1t is the conqueror of every spe-
cies of Marsh or swamp Fever. 1t is the COM
plete master of Brow Ague, Periodical Head
ache, Intermittent Neuralgia, Splanalgi1 or
Pain in the Side, and of every variety and
modification of Iatermittent and Bilious
Fever.
Nor does this medicine resemble any other
of the thousand compounds advertised for
these affections. IT is the pure distillation
from the most costly varieties of Cinchona
bark, and is in itself pharmaceutical triumph,
a thera pentical wonder. 1t at once checks the
Chills and restores the blood to its proper con-
sistency, thereby eradicating all traces of this
the most baneful disease from the system.
Wherever these diseases exist this medicine
should always be kept in every household, as
a cure is always guaranteed.

By process recently discovered, have been
able to obtain from the bark of the Wild Cher
ry Electrically the Prunus Virginiani) an
extract which has been pronounced by the
Pharmaceutical Society of London and Berlin
to possess more of the virtues of this invalua-
BILE tree than any other ever presented to
them. One single teaspoonful of Edward Will
der's Compound Extract of Wild Cherry con-
tains more of the active principle of the Wild
Cherry than any other preparation contains in
a wine-glass full. To this extract is added
other ingredients derived from the vegetable
kingdom, which give an efficiency, activity,
and power to this remedy which justly entitle
it to be called the Destroyer of Coughs, Colds,
Catarrhs, Larangitis, Asthma, Influenza, and
Group. Not one of these affections can with
stand it. They yield instantly to its magic
power. Besides these diseases, it is invaluable
in Pneumonia and Pleurisy. In Bronchitis,
acute and chronic, it is unfailing, and in the
cough of Consumption it affords reliefwhich
no other remedy is capable of doing. In its
composition are summed up all the ingre, tents
necessary to effect a permanent cure, which in
every case is warranted if used according to
directions.

Mr.. WEIGH, of the Indian commission
who has been in Washington examin-
ing the records of the Indian Office, says
MIR. Lang discovered greater frauds in
the Southern Indian territory than he
(Nelch) did in the Northern. He cited
one instance where Lang saw 100000
was paid to Arapahoe Indians, of which
amount S30,0O0 as taken by Gen
Blunt on the plea that he mad performed
legislation at mnch cost of time and
money. Also mentions a voucher found
to rich contractor for Sl55,O00, where
the profit must have been over one hun

DOROTHY "a FAMILY PORTRAIT.
BIZ OLIVES wENDELL HOLMES.

GrandmOther's mother. her age, guess,
Thirteen summers, or something less,
Gtrlish bust; but womanly air,
Smooth, square forehead with uprolled hair,
Lips that lover has never kissed,
Taper fingers and slender wrist,
Hanging sleeves aHsi stih broeade--
So they 5aifcsd the little maios = tssrs -
On her hand parrot green
Sits unmoying and broods serene,
Hold up the canvas full in view
LookI there's rent the light shines through
Dark with century's fringe of dust
That was a Red Coats rapier thrust!
Such is the tale the lady old
Dorothy's daughters daughter told.
Who the painter was none may tell
One whose best was net over well;
Hard and dry, it must be confessed,
Flat as a rose that has long been pressed,
Yet in her cheek the hues are bright,
Dainty colors OF red and white;
And in her slender shape are seen
Hint and promise of stately mien.
Look not on her with eyes of scorn-
Dorothy Q was a lady bOrnI
Az! since the galloping Normans came,
England's annals have known her name,
And still to the three-hilled rebel town
Dear is that ancient names renown,
For many a civic wreath they won
The youthful sire and the gray-haired son.
o Damsel Dorothy! Dorothy O!
Strange is the gift that owe to you;
Such gift as never King
Save to daughter or son might bring
All my tenure of heart ana hand,
All my title to house and land;
Mother and sister and child and wife q.
And joy and sorrow and death and life.
What if hundred years ago
Those close-shut lips had answered No
When forth the tremolOus question came
That cost the maiden her Norman name,
And under the folds that look so still
The bodice swelled with the bosom's thrill:
Should be l, or would it be
One-tenth another, to nine-tenths me?
Soft is the breath of a maiden's Yes;
Not the light gossamer stirs with less;
But never a cable that holds so fast
Through all the battles of wave and blast,
And never an echo of speech or song
That lives in the babbling air so longl
There were tones in the voice that whispered
then
You may hear to-day in a hundred men.
Q lady and lover, how faint and far
Your images hOVer-and here we are,
Solid and and stirring in flesh and bone
Edwards and Dorothy's-aL their own
A goodly record for time to show
OF syllable spoken so long agoI-
Shall 1 bless you. Dorothy. or forgive
For the lite whisper that babe me live?
1t shall be blessing, my little maid!
1 will heal the stab of the Red Coats blade,
And.fFeshen the gold of the furnished frame,
And gid with a rhyme your HOUSEHOLD name
So you shall smile on US brave and bright
As first you greeted the mornings light,
And live untroubled by woes and fears
Through second youth of hundred years.

HIS ANSWER TO ..HER LETTER,
REPORTED BY TRUTHFUL JAMES.

REPOhTED BY TRUTHFUL JAMES,
Being asked by an intimate party
Which the same would term as a
friend,
Which his health it was vain to call
hearty,
Since the mind TO deceit it might
lend;
For his arm it was broken quite re-
cent,
And has something gone wrong
with his lung
Which is why it is proper and decent
l should write what he runs off his
tongue.

your letter
To the end-and the end came too
soon.
That a slight illness kept him your
debtor,
(Which for weeks he was wild as
loom
That his spirits are boyant as yours is /;
That with you, Miss, he challenges
Fate.
(Which the language that invalid used
AT time it were vain to relate.)
And he says that the mountains are
fairer
For once being hello. in your tho't !;
That each rock holds a wealth that is
raFnr
Than ever by gold-seaker sought
(Which are words he would put in
these pages,
BY party not given to guide;
Which the same not, at date, paying
wages,
Might produce in the sinful smile
He remembers the ball at the Ferry,
And the ride, and the gate, and the
vow,
And the roses that you gave him
that very
Same rose he is treasuring now;
(Which his blanket he's kicked on his
Trunk, Miss,
And insists on his legs being free,
And his language to me from his
bunk, Miss,
Is frequent and painful and free.)
He hopes you are wearing no willows,
But are happy and gay all the while
That he knows-(which his lodging
+. of pillows
Imparts but small ease to the style
And the same you will pardon)-he
knows, Miss,
That, though parted by many mile
Yet, were he lying under the SHOWS
Miss,
They'd melt into tears at your smile
And you'll still think of him in your
pleasures,
In your brief twilight dreams of thu

was last.

Chausey sent protest against such con-

have inquired of Mark Twain whether
Agassiz had in fact recommended au-
thors to eat fish, is answered by Mark
in the January Galaxy as follows:
Young Authorizes. Agassiz does
recommend authors to eat fish, because
the phosphorus in it makes brains. So
far you are correct. But cannot help
you to n decision about the amount that
you need to eat-at least, not with GER
tainty. If the specimen composition

age, should judge that perhaps couple
of whales would be all you would want
