DEAR OA =
I've lost my heart to one
of those lovely Stone girls. | saw her at
Vaughan's she bewitched me her adj
mirers are legion. But yankee pluck is
bound to win, or am never more.
YOUR JERRY.
What dismay the whole household was
in from the receipt of the above can be i'm
agined We had made so many romances
in regard to Jerry's future, in which some
one of our many feminine friends had al
ways taken leading part, that it seemed
cruel to have them thus rudely scattered
to the winds.
Miss Stone, you may be sure, was very
thoroughly discussed that night, and it
was with heavy hearts that we made up
our minds to make the best of it, never for
moment doubling that any girl living
could refuse the offer of Jerry's heart and
hand.
In a few days after, we received a line
from him, saying Give me joy. She is
mine all my own. We leave by next
steamer from Havre."
How slowly the days dragged on, and
when the time approached for the steamers
arrival, how eagerly we read the ship news
and at last, one beautiful spring day, we
heard of his arrival at New York, and the
next afternoon carriage drove to our door;
out jumped Jerry, and for few, minutes,
what with kissing and crying over him, we
forgot the other occupant of the carriage.
But all at once came to my senses, and
said, with start
Where's Miss Stone, Jerry?"
A smile came over his face, as he said,
carelessly: "Oh, I've had her expressed
through"
Would you believe that the "Stone'
girl we had been in such worry about
turned out TO be nothing more than beau
tiful marble figure, cut by some great
sculptor? 1t was long time before W.
forgave him his practical joke, and now We
don't know whether to be cross or merry al
the mention of "Stone" girls.

HNHERE are no diseases so debilitatlng in
j their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure In cases of the long
est standing, as we'll as prove preventive In
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating 1t from the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson g
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation Is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk IN Taking Them. = They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs. = The

A great hue and cry was rails
ed when Congress abolished the
ranking privilege, because, ii
was alleged, there would be a
great saving { the government
1t turns out, however, that be-
fore adjournment an appropria>
ton OF 100000 was made to
meet the postal bill of the differ
,ent department,and there is moth
ing to prevent Congress from vo-
ting themselves all the stamps
they want, which they will use
in lieu OF franking their d,.cu-
ments. They succocded, howev-
er, in repeating the clause per
hitting county papers to circu-
late free. of postage in the coun
ty where they arc published.
This ID intended, we suppose, to
punish constituents for daring
TO find fault with the abuses OF
the franking privilege.

Gov. Carpenter wishes TO be

liean, and he sees that the far
mers, the majority of whom
have regularly voted with the
same faction, are leaving party
lines, and resolving to support
good men without regard to
politics. Gov. Carpenter tells
the farmers,therefore, that "their
power will be in their moral in-
huence." Right, but the place
to make that influence felt is at
the polls. The Grant Republican
politicians have heretofore con-
trolled Iowa, and if the industri-
Gus people of that State have
