We have heretofore been obliged to send west

The InyaIid-A Pen Picture,

See her pallid countenance but short time
ago the picture of ruddy health, the envy of the
school and the pride of the household. She was
always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her
1.-the form and pleasing disposition carried
cheerfulness into their ranks. Diligent, pune
tual 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 blanched by Consumption. The voice
once SO enchanting in laugh and song is feeble
husky and supplsnted 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 emanciated, and shows bony out
lines, while the cords and tortuous veins are
plainly mapped upon the surface The pulse
that bounded with repletion, carrying vigor to
the whole system and imparting life beauty,
Vivacity, health and strength, is delicate to the
touch. The feeble heart can not propel the
thin, sCanty blood with force. Must we lose her
while yet in her teens =? Companions and friends
gather round with words of cheer and consola-
ton, and depart with moistened eyes and silent
steps. Must We lose her ? No there is relief!
We can stay this destroyer of our happiness,
and not suffer the loss OF so bright gem. Some
thing more is required now than dietary and
and she shall have it. Take this pleasant medi-
cine. 1t is invigorating. How it allsys the
irritable cough, improves the appetite and di-
gestion, and sends a healthy tingle through the
frame. The blood is enriched, nervous
force increased and the heart bounds with
new impulse See her face brighten by de-
grees; the color is returning, her voice is get
ting clearer and pleasant words are spoken
The strength faters yet but is gaining. Let us
take her out in the warm sunshine. In o short
time she will be able to go without our aid a
cheerful girl. This deli htful medicine must be
God-blessed. 1t is restoring health to our loved
one. She is emerging from her sickness sweeter
and nobler than before, and Dr. Pierce Golden

The recent advance in corn reduces the trade

of this course is doubted. There is not enough

Hay, like corn, has become too scarce and high
to ship; the local demand grows smaller by de-
grees, and it will not be surprising if few odd
lots are left over to come first on the market al

violating the law He was arrested on Monday
night by Officer Claiborne and lodged in the
caaboose, until yesterday afternoon at o'clock
when he was tried before the Recorder on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons, and
though eloquently defended by Mr.. King vet
the testimony was too strong and he was fined
$40 and costs, making $3.50 in ALL The cor
poration was represented by Capt Washington.
Two of the witnesses testified that the pistol in
question was derringer, while another thought
it was a repeater with five or it might be Six
barrels, and if there had been few more it
might have been magnifed to field battery of
mitrailleuses. +s
He first talked of appealing from the Record

fine He was then taken by Constable Neither
