Disorder and anarchy prevail throughout the
republic Persons and property are outraged
wherever the government troops are absent.
Levies continue and the army increases, and
despotic acts are committed by the authorities

IMMEDIATELY.-If every family knew the
value of Miss Sawyer's Salve, they would i'm
mediately purchase box and never be with
out it. If your Druggist is out of this Salve

How many men there are who, working at
their trades, finish their daily tasks at six
o'clock, go to their homes or boarding places,
partake of their suppers, and then spend the
precious hours of the evening in lettering
about the streets, or in stores and saloons en-
gagged in loose conversation, or in doubtful
places committing actual sin. They are en-
tirely fergetful of the claims of their higher
and better nature. Every laboring man, who
is blessed with daily occupation should
make it a sacred duty to keep up a living
knowledge of, and interest in, some pursuit,
science, art, or craft, outside the circle of his
daily task. Thereby he will keep his mental
faculties in fair play upon their appointed OBJ
jects, and lay up for himself pursuit and an
education which will occupy nobly and happi-
ly the autumn of life What men want is
something to carry on their education till they
die, something which will continually draw
them out to fresh observation, fresh refec-
tons, fresh acquisition, with ever stronger
and ripper power. Clip bit from your daily
earnings rather than from your daily study
The play, and even the strain Of the faculties
the various faculties of body and mind and
spirit, in wise proportion and alternatons-is
the true human JOY. Plenty to think of,
plenty to observe, plenty to pursue, plenty to
delight in, plenty TO help, plenty to love,
these make the gladness and the riches of the
