rhe InvaIia-A Pen.Picture.

See her pallid countenace, but short
time ago the picture of rudy health,
the envy of the school and the pride Of
the household. She was always vel
coined by her schoolmates, for her 1.-THE
form and pleasing disposition carried
cheerfnlness into their ranks. Diligent,
punctual and exemplary, obedient and
graceful at home, she won the hearts Of
all. But alas, we are sorrowed. Those
rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are llanched
by consumption. The voice once so en-
chanting in laugh and song is feeble,
husky and supplanted by hollow cough.
Let US approach her couch gently and
take her hand. Do not shudder because
of the feeble and passionless grasp.
The hand once so hearty and plump is
emaciated, and shows bony outlines,
while the cords and tortuous veins are
plainly mapped upon the surface. The
pulse that bounded with repletion, carry
ing vigor to the whole system and i'm
parting life, beauty, vivacity, health and
strength, is delicate to the touch. The
feeble heart cannot propel the thin,
scanty blood with force. Must we lose
her while yet in her teens2 Companions
and friends gather around with words Of
cheer and consolation. and depart with
moistened eyes and silent steps. Must
we lose her? Mo- there is relief We
can stay this destroyer Of our happiness,
end not suffer the loss Of so bright
gem. Something more is required now
than dietary and hygienic observance,
for nature calls for aid, and she shall
have it. Take this pleasant medicine.
1t is invigorating. How it allays the
irritable cough improves the appetite
and digestion, and sends healthy tingle
through the frame. The blood is en-
riched, nervous force increased, and the
heart bounds with new impulse. See
her face brighten by degrees; the color
is returning, her voice is getting clearer,
and pleasant words are spoken. The
strength falters yet, but is gaining. Let
us take her out in the warm sunshine.

THE LOGIC OF IT.

If the Cincinnati Convention should
fail to embody and carry out to success
the Liberal movement, the fact would
tell with irresistible eject against the
capability Of the Republican party, in
whole or in part, to govern the country
on lust and enlightened principles. II
the men who have broken off from the tri-
umphaut party OF 1868 and are now in
council at Cincinnati fail to shape and
carry out a great spontaneous movement
such as theLiberal movement unquestlon-
ably is, and with the whole Democratic
party to back it, how much better will they
develop themselves TO be than Grant and
his adherents2 In an event so much to
be deplored as failure at Cincln-
natl, would not every sensible
at least every honest man cry
out that it is only the Democratic
party that can govern this country as it
should be governed2 If the best men
of the Republican party can accom-
plish nothing with every weapon In
their hands that wins victories, and with
a cheer from the millions, what can 1t
accomplish, and what is it fit for2 But
we have no great fear on this subject,
except that which results from the rival
ries and antagonists now cropping out
at Cincinnati. We think this Liberal
movement fortunate for the country, for
two main reasons. lift succeeds, it Will
have broken to pieces the Republican
party, and established an honest admin
istration. If it fails, it will have
Taught the country that the Govern
meut must 90 back into the hands
from which it came. the hands
of the Democratic party Holding this
opinion, the wisdom Of the passive poll
CT pursued by the Democracy has the
appearance of an inspiration. We shall
probably know to-day the name of the
person upon whom the nomination Of
the Convention will fall. We state in
advance that, so far as our feelings are
concerned, it matters little as to the per-
son. We are prepared to support any
man who can defeat Grant and all that
appertains TO him.

malls Relating 10 the Famous
May.nay Drink.
As all the beer-sellers in Memphis
issue book beer over the counter for a
pecuniary consideration, the following
need not be considered an advertisement
for any dealer in the beverage. Our
local representative being rather tenn
perate, and lot particularly infatuated
with book beer, can without suspicion
give a historical account of this institu-
ton Of old Einbock of Brunswick;
One of the institutions in Munich, in
the olden times, was the official brewery,
which was established by royal authori-
Nv, and which for long time was an i'm
portant source of revenue to the prince
In the sixteenth century there was a
great rage for new kind of beer, which
was perfectly white, but which is not
now made. 1t was to brew this white
beer that the official brewery was estab-
lished. Later, however, this old brewery
was devoted exclusively 10 the manu-
facsure of book, kind of beer first made
in Einbock of Brunswick, whence it de-
rived its name.
The season opens on the LIST Of May
For weeks before the opening, the cell
lars of the old brewery are shut fast
and as the tradition goes, the only be-
ing allowed inside is the Black Demon,
who superintends the perfection of the

occurs the official testing. In ancient
times three lords of the cup we're dressed
In stag leather and seated upon a bench.
They drank the Book from two pots,
and if, at the expiration of an hour,
they could not stand up, the beer
received the verdict of approval. If
however, they we're able to stand
up the beer was pronounced failure.
OF late years select company as
sen.bles in the cellars to test the beer,
and are expected to do so without get
ting fuddled As they come out of the
vault they are waylaid by anxious crowds
eager to learn of the quality Of the beer.
Upon May day the rooms and casks are
dressed with boughs Of fur, music is pro-
vided, and the people are invited to help
themselves. During the season the brew
cry is crowded with men, and the beer is
believed to be the best in the world.
The rooms are dingy and forlorn, with
the immense casks tilted up in the cor
Rers. The benches and tables are of
the coarsest description, and the place
might readily be taken for one of the
lowest beer shops. 1t is, however, the
most democratic place in all Germany,
for here may be seen, side by side, the
highest officers Of the state drink block
with the humblest peasant.
