PROGRESS OF THE REvOLUUoN. A
new light dawned upon the world with the
introduction Of Plantation Bitters twelve
years ago Drastic purgation went out
restoration and renovation came in The
eyes of the people were opened to the
great fact that the way to cure disease is
70 strengthen its victims, not to place them
at its mercy by depriving them of the little
strength they have 1t soon became evi-
dent that as means of infusing vitality
into the feeble system regulating the Sc
cretions, curing indigestion, and reforming
a bilious habit of body, no medical prepar-
alton then known was at all comparable
TO the new restorative Since then hun
dreds of attempts have been made TO rival
the Bitters They have all failed. and the
Grand Revolution in Medical Treatment,
which was commenced in 1860, is still in
progress Nothing can stop it, for it is
founded on the principle, now universally
acknowledged, that physical vigor is the
most formidable antagonist of all human
ailments, and experience has shown that
Plantation Bitters is a peerless invigorant,
as well as the best possible safeguard
against epidemic diseases

What is Love?

Many women suppose that they love
when, unfortunately, they have not the
beginning of an idea of what love is
Loving TO be admired bya man-loving to
be petted by him, loving to be csrressed
by him, loving to be praised by him, is
not loving a man. All these may he
when woman has no power of loving
at ali they may all be, simply because
she loves herself, and loves to be flatter-
ed, praised, coaxed, as a cat likes to be
coaxed and stroked, and fed with cream,
and have war m corner. But all this
is not love. 1t may exist to be sure
where there is love-it generally does.
Love, dear ladies, is self-sacrifice; it is
life out of selfand in another. Its very
essence is the preferring of the comfort,
the ease, the wishes of another to ones
own, for the love we bear them. Low
ing is giving, and not receiving. Love
is not a sheet of blotting paper, or a
sponge, sucking in everything to itself
it is an outspringing fountain, giving
from itself. Loves motto has been
dropped in this world as chance gem
of great price by Him who said: SIT i:
more blessed to give than to receive
Now, in love there are ten persons in
this world who like to be loved, aDG
love, where there is one who knows how
to love. That dear ladies, is noble!
attainment than all your French, ant
music, and dancing. You may lose The
very power of it by smothering it under
a load of self-indulgence.

Good News.

& young girl lay on her bed, shad'
ed by curtains; around her was ev-
erything that wealth or taste could
procure.
1t was fine summer weather, all
brightness and sunshine. Here was
enough, you would say, to make her
very happy. Perhaps so, but she
thought of none of these things her
mind was absorbed by some good
news she had just heard, and she
murmured: "Happy, happy, happy
indeed !"
Good news! You may ask,
"What sort of news was it ~
Each one could guess what it
could be- One perhaps will suppose
she had heard that she had been left
a fortune; another, that she had re-
c6ived presents of fine dresses or of
jewels; whilst a third may fancy
something else.
No, none of these things. This
young girl had been told that she
soaS dying, and must leave all the
lovely things around her, and all
the dear friends who loved her so
well. This was the good news in
answer to which she murmured,
"Happy, happyp' They were her
last words; in few hours she was
asleep in Jesus.

Sheridan,s New Battery.


Little Phil, our own citizen, has per-
fected the destructive weapon which has
been so much talked of in military cir
cles within two or three years past, and
he is using it for the first time on the
plains in pursuit of huffaloes. The fol-
lowing description of this terrible imple-
ment of death is from the AT7Ry and
Nary Journal:
"Upon the back of young and vigi-
liant mule, Sheridan straps mountain
howitzer, the muzzle pointing towards
the tail. A similar piece of ordnance
is fastened with iron bands under the
animals abdomen, the muzzle aimed be-
tween his fore legs to the front. There
are four gunners-two to each piece
and a "pursuader," as he is called,
whose business it is to persuade the
mule to stand firm, and not retreat, by
stuffing him with oats after every dis
charge, with a tin sausage suffer-
When Indians, or other legitimate game,
appear in view, the mule is, by crank
movement on the tail, limbered to the
front. 1t don't make any difference
which way the mule faces (and here is
where Sheridan's patent comes I'M, one
gun is aL,Uays pointed to the front. Al
the command "Fire !" the top howitzel
is discharged. The recoil throws the
mule on his back, bringing the second
gun in position. This is discharged
which suddenly throws the mule to his
feet again, when the runners swab out
the mules throat with hay and reload
1t works to a charm.

The Old Red Cent,

The old red cent is rapidly passing
away out of the United States curren-
cy, and it will not be long before it will
be known in memory and numismatic
collections. Its history is a matter OF
sufficient interest for preservation
The cent was first proposed by Robert
Morris, the great fnancier of the Revo-
luton, and was named by Jefferson two
years after. 1t began to make its ap-
pearance from the mint in 1892 1t
bore the head of Washington on one
side and thirteen links on the other
The French ideas, which put on the
cent, instead of the head OF Washing
ton, the goddess of liberty-a French
liberty, with flowing locks, The chain
on the reverse was replaced by the
olive wreath of peace. But the French
liberty was short lived, and so was her
portrait on the cent. The next head or
figure succeeding this-the staid, class
ic dame with fillet around her hair
came into fashion thirty or forty years
ago, and her finely chiseled Grecian
features have but slightly altered in
the lapse of time.
