A Model Lawyer.

Squire johnson was a model law
yer, as the following anecdote will
show:
Jones once rushed into his office
IN great passion, and said:
THAT internal scoundrel of q cob
bier, Smith, has sued me for five
dollars, l owed him for pair of
boots."
"Then you owe him five dollars p;
"Eo he sure I do, but he's gone
and sued me-sued mer'
"Fhen why don't you pay him, if
you owe him?"
Because he's sued me, and when
be does that I'll never pay him till
it costs him more than he gets. /
want you to make it cost him all
you cam
"But it will cost you something
too" .
Il don't care for that. What do
you charge to begin with.
"Ten dollars, and more if there is
much trouble"
"All right! There's an Know
go ahead"
No sooner was the client gone than
Squire johnson stepped across to
his neighbor Smith, and offered to
pay the bill on condition that tie
suit be withdrawn. The shoemaker
gladly accepted-all he wanted was
his pay. The lawyer retained the
other five for his fec, as the case was
not troublesome he made no demand
upon his client.
The day after, Jones came in to
see how his case was getting on.
"All right" said the lawyer, "you
won't have any trouble about that. l
put it to Smith so strongly that he
was glad to withdraw the suit alto
gether."
Capital" cried the exuIting
Jones. you've done it up brown /!
You shall have all my business here
after.'

Squire, and his opinions carried
great weight with them.
In the days of the Wing party Mr..
Grant was a Whig, sans reproche.
On one occasion he was a delegate
to the Wing State Convention at
Columbus, and drafted the platform
adopted. Had he been ambitious TO
fill political position, he could
have had 1t; but though a stout
Wing, he kept steadily at his bust
ness, and left The offices to others.
When the Wing party dissolved he
was out of his political element, but
asted with the moderate Democrats.
His Republicanism was of post BEL
t'tm origin. He was however, a sound
patriot, firm Union man, and
good hater of rebellion and rebels.
His appointment as Postmaster of
CovIngton, was first made by Presi-
dent johnson with whom, in his
conflict with Congress, he heartily
sympathized-st least till about the
close OF his administration and the
break between the President and
the pro tenn Secretary of War. He
took sides, as was to have been ex-
pected, with his son, and from that
time forward voted win The Repub-
Il can party, sometimes attending its
conventions and making speeches,
which were noticeable for concise
ness and direct Cincinnati

Talking About Ones Health

If there is anything in the world
to destroy ones health, it is the per-
petual consideration of it. In much
that relates to body. mind, heart and
soul, wo must let things take their
own way. The stomach resents be-
ing talked about, we fad, and refus-
es to digest for a man who contin-
ually gossips about it. 1t was put
into the darkness, so that we might
not see it. If it had only been made
as transparent as glass, and we could
have seen the special effect of every
article put into it, we should have
become so nervous" about its ope-
rations, that, shortly, the whole hu-
man race would have died of.
Doubtless, the Psychologist and the
student of dieteties will give us some
knowledge of wisdom; but they will
sacrifice many victims by their min
ute inquiries and cautions. One of
the best of them all, that we ever
knew, had one fundamental princi-
pie to impress upon his disciples,
'eat your victuals and go about your
business" A valetudinarian, long
suffering, refusing this and that, and
cutting down year by year the list of
wholesome articles for his food, at
last bethought himself it were as
well to die of fullness as by starva
ton; and went to his accustomed
restaurant at dinner-time, and order
ed full meal like any other man, to
the amusement and increduity of
the attendant that always waited or
him; and on inquiry of the results
of his boldness, he replied he was as
well after full and various meal, as
after all the littleness he had been
accustomed to practice.-Christian
Register.

Penny PostaPa-

The editor of the Utica Herald
descries the penny postage millen.
mum, the advent of the postal card.
He says:
"We look upon the postal card
as a sort Of John the baptist pre-
pairing the way for penny postage.
If the government can furnish a
card and carry it for a penny, it GER
tainly can afford to carry and deliv-
er fo a penny, a letter which is
furnished by the writer. Again if
the desire is merely to accommodate
the public, why not permit the writer
to furnish his own card and put a
penny stamp on itS This would
save the government the expense of
the card. 1t must come to this soon
er or later. OF course it will spoil
some body's big job in furnishing
and printing cards for the govern
ment! The object is not to give
fat job to somebody, bnt TO accom-
mOdate the people at the least ex-
pense. Will it not be an easy way
to collect taxes-or, what is the
same thing, save money to the
treasury-by letting the people furn-
ish their own cards, paper and en-
velopes2 And, if a penny covers
why not adopt uniform
penny postal system. People will
be just as we'll satisfied to furnish
their stationery-aud the more they
furnish and use, the better it will be
for the revenues. There is no good
reason why the government should
engage in the stationery business;
besides, it gives too much chance
for robbery, of which we already
have too much in government af-
fairs"

Ayers Ague Cure,

Ayers Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, intermittent Fe-
yer, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fe-
yer, &C., and indeed all the affections
which arise from malarious, marsh, or
miasmatic poisons.
No one remedy is louder
called for by the necessities
Of the American people than
a sure and safe cure for
O Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer,
with perfect certainty that
it viii eradicate the disease, and with assur-
ance, founded on proof that no harm can
arise from its use i'm any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense Eervice in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he mnst run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This CURED expels
the masmatc poison Of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease if taken on the first
approach of, its premOnitOTy symptoms. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger.
tain cure of Intermiltents is that it contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon tie constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy rs if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the CON
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Dheuma-
tisnl, COut, HEeadacIae, blindness.

"CURED expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. It is
an invaluable protection TO immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in
the malariOus districts. If taken occasion
ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be exCreted from The system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence IL is even more
valuable for protection than care; and few
will ever suffer from Internittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity, !
and producing many truly remarkable cures, |

DR.. A. TRAsK'S
MAGEEE!!IC OINTMENT
FOR THE CURE OF
INELAMMAToRE DISEASES.

DR.. TrasIk was engaged for twenty years in
course OF experiments upon the medical prop
critics and power OF vegetables, separate and
combined. At the age Of seventy years he sue
ceeded in presenting to the world, as the result
OF his experiments, a combination Of Vegetable
extracts, the power Of which in removing dis
eases is unequaled in the annals of Medicine.
His discovery consists in cOmbina-
tion OF these powerful Vegetable Extracts with
Electricity or Magnetism in the form Of an Oint-
mgnL
Certain, 1t Is, that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure of diseases, stamps II at
once as the greatest discovery of the age, and
calls for a trial and close investigation Of its
properties.
&c never fails, whilo there remains suf
1cient life 10 restore a natural and healthy &C,
ton to the capillary vessels OF the body, and
equalize the circulation OF the blood. By this
means controlling power Is gained over the
most malignant forms Of disease, which cannot
be obtained from any other remedy.
Such is the power of this cOmbina-
tfOns that 1t penetrates TO every portion OF
the human frame; every bone and muscle, vein,
nerve and lioamcnt Is searched out and made
sensible Of its purifying and healing influence.
Hence it copes as readily with internal as ex-
ternal disease.
Numerous instances arc on record
where this remedy has restored health TO pa
tients so near the grave that the most powerful
internal remedies failed to produce any effect.
Such has frequently been the case in lnllamma-
ton OF the Bowels.
No patient ever need die with this
disease where the Magnetic Ointment can be OBJ
tanned.
For InfIammatOry Rheumatism
this Ointment is the most complete remedy ever
prepared. For Diphtheria or Putrid Sore Throat
II Is unrivaled.
IN nfnety-nIne cases ont of n
hundred, it will afford entire relief to the worst
cases Of Nervous Headache in thirty Minutes
For Nervous Diseases this medicine is
Of immense value-

THE uNpRoFIrABLE SERVANT,


In napkin smooth and white,
Hidden from all mortal sight,
My one talent lies tonight.
Mine to hoard or mine use,
Mine to keep, or mine lose;
May 1 not do what I choose?
All! the gift was only lent,
With th6Giyer's known intent,
That it should be wisely spent;
And l know he win demand
Every farthing at my hand,
When in His presence stand.
What win be my grief and shame,
When hear my humble name,
And cannot repay His claim?
Some will double what they hold,
Others add TO il ten fold,
And pay the shining gold.
Would that had toiled like them
All my sloth InOw condemn;
Guilty fears my soul o'erwhelm.
Lord, teach me what to do!
Make me faithful, make me true,
And the sacred trust renew.
Help me ere too late II be,
Something yet to do for Thee,
Thou who hast done all for me.
