OR CHILLS AND FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for il q superiority over all remedies
offered to the public for the safe certain spec
dy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or
Chills and Fever, whether Of short or long stand
ing, lie refers tc the entire Western and South
ern country to bear him testimony to the truth of
the assertion that IN no case whatever will 1t fail
to if the directions strictly followed and
carried out. In a great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health 1t Is, however
prudent and in every case more certain of cure, If
its is continued in smaller doses for week OF
two after the disease has been checked, more es-
peeially in difficult and long standing cases Csu'
ally this medicine viii not require any aid to keep
the bowels in good order. should the patient
however, require csthartic medicine, after having
taken three or four doses of the tonic, single
dose of Bulls Vegetable Family Pills Will be sum

bier woman for having manhood beside
her that seeks to correct her Deficiencies
and supply her with what she lacks, if
the diversity be not too great, and there
be real piety and love in their hearts to
begin with. The old bridegroom, hav-
ing a much shorter journey to make,
must associate himself with one like him
self. A perfect and complete marriage,
is perhaps, as rare as perfect personal
beauty. Men and women are married
fractionally, now a small fraction, then
large fraction. Very few are married
totally, and they only, I think, after
some 40 or 30 years Of gradual approach
and experiment. Such a large and
sweet fruit is complete maria ge, and
it needs very long Summer to ripen
in, and then long Winter to mellow
and season in. But a real, happy mar
riage of love and judgment, between a
noble man and a woman, is one of the
things so very handsome that if the sun
were, as the Greek poets tabled, god,
ne might stop the world in order to
feast his eyes with such spectacle.

How Shall We Make The World Better

From the Dispatch.
We are continually bemoaning the
state and condition of things in this
world, berating this and finding fault
with that. heaping up sins of commits
sion and omission against our nelghbors
and one another, till everything seems
upside down aud the whole fabric of
society not worth saving But if we
should stop and consider that it is we
ourselves and those akin to US who have
helped to bring about this very state
and condition so shocking to contemp-
late, would we not be more sensible
and in better mood to correct and i'm
prove what we now ceDsure. In order
to help others we must help ourselves,
firstly. We cannot make the world
any better by preaching without prac-
tising. Good precepts are we'll but
good examples are thousand fold bet-
ter; and here is where the great trouble
lies. There is too much crying out
against our neighbors and too little self
accusation-too much pulling at the
notes in our brothers eye and too little
thonght Of beams in our own; too
much holding the glass to others,
which should reflect but ourselves.
When shall we learn these truths, and
with face turned to God, contrite,
meek and humble in spirit, seek His
grace and walk in wisdom Only in
this way can order and harmony come,
and that quiet: inward peace for which
the world is longing. How soon We
might rejoice with a JOY unspeakable
and full Of glory if each one in all god
liness and honesty would do their duty
and strive to spread abroad love and
good will to each other, working and
praying for the incoming time " when
all shall see eye to eye." Let us then
begin at ourse1ves to make the world
better. Let our example be right in
the sight of all-our lives psalms to
those with whom we are, and living in-
spiration to our neighbors abroad Let
our every day acts, the smallest and
slightest, be fragrant as blossoms with
goodness, love and mercy. Then peace
and harmony and unity will twine
around US like the green leaves of the
ivy. and there will be no one left to
find fault, or "cry peace where there
is no peace" for salvation will have
come to the world. NJ. A. NJ.

OUR YOUNG PATRONS.
THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.

The late DR.. Chalmers is said to hav

lines, written on the occasion of the dealt
Of young son whom he greatly loved
I am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near,
And the fagot's crack, and the clocks dull tick,
Are the only sounds hear;
And over my soul in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide;
For my heart and my eyes are full when think
Of the little boy that died.
went one night to my fathers house,
Went home to the dear ones all
And softly opened the garden gate
And softly the door of the hall.
My mother came out to meet her son.
She kissed ME and then she sighed
And her head fell on my neck and she wept
For the little boy that died.
shall miss him when the flowers come
In the garden where he played;
shall miss him more by the freside
When the flowers are all decayed;
shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride.
And they will speak with silent speech,
Of the little boy that died
We shall 60 home to our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope Of souls shall have no blight
Our love no broke n ties;
We shall roam on the banks of the river of peace
And ba the in its blissful tide;
And one of the joys Of life shall be

AnecdOte Of an Elephant.

The Leisure Hour, an English mag
azine, tells this touching story, as related
by Maj. Brown, of the Fortieth regi-
ment: During the seige Of Pondicherry,
in the East Indies, by the British army,
when NJ. Lally was governor there, there
were in the French garrison several war
elephants, all Of which except one, died
from the scarcity of provisions, and the
survivor would have shared the fate of
his companions but for his uncommon
sagacity, which rendered him a favorite
with every one, and the object Of general
admiration. This animal, in the absence
of his keeper, was one day amusing him
self with his chain in an open part of the
town, when man who had committed
theft and was pursued by great num-
ber Of people, despairing Of all other
means of safety, ran for protection under
the elephant Apparently delighted
with the poor wretch's confidence, the
creature instantly faced about and met
the crowd, erected his trunk and threw
his chain in the air, as is the manner of
these animals when engaged with the
enemy, and became so furious in the de-
fense of the criminal that, notwithstand-
ing all the gentle arts made use Of by the
surrounding multitude, neither they nor
even his mahout or driver, to whom he
was fondly attached, and who was sent
for to manage him, could prevail with
him to give up the malefactor The con-
test had continued for about three hours,
when at length the Governor, hearing
the strange account Of it, came to the
spot, and was SO much pleased with the
generous perseverance Of the honest quad
ruped that he yielded to the elephant s
interposition, and pardoned the criminal
The poor man, in an ecstacy of gratitude,
testified his Acknowledgements by kissing
and embracing the proboscis of his kind
benefactor, who was apparently so sensi-
BILE of what had happened that, laying
aside all his former violence, he became
perfectly tame and gentle in an instant,
and suffered his keeper to conduct him
away without the smallest resistance

termined to keep him, if he was willing.
In the morning they found that he was
only too glad to remain.
They sent him to school, and after
ward he entered monastery. There
he found the Bible: which he read, and
from which he learned the way of
life. The sweet voice of the little sing
er became the strong echo of the good
news, ''Justifed by faith, we have
peace with God, through our Lord Jesus
Christ" Conrad and Ursula, when
they took that little street-singer into
their house, little thought that they
were nourishing the great champion Of
the Reformation. Tho poor child was
Martin Luther BE not forgetful to
entertain strangers The following is
the whole Of the song on which Luther
sang the memorable night;
Lord of heaven, lone and sad,
would lift my soul to thee;
Pilgrims in foreign land.
Gracious father, look on me;
l shall neither faint nor die
While walk beneath thine eve.
I will stay my faith on thee,
And will never fear to tread
Where the Savior Master leads;
He will give me daily bread.
Christ was hungry, Christ was poor,
He will feed me with his store.
Foxes to their holes have gone,
Every bird into its nest
But l wander here alone,
And for me there is no rest;
Yet neither faint nor fear,
For the Savior-Chr is near.
If live He'll be near me;
If l die to him go.
He'll not leave me, will trust him,
And my heart no fear shall know.
Sin and sorrow defy,
For on Jesus rely.
