10 Lady Jane.
BY L. 8. 0.

THE following exquisite lines by this gifted
author, were written by her uponher pet horse
Oh, saw ye e'cr creature so queenly, 80 fine,
AS this dainty, aerial darling of mine
With toss Of her name, that is glossy as jet,
With dance, and prance. and a fro)ic curvet
She is off She is stepping superbly away
Her dark, speaking eye full of pride and of
play
Oh, she spurns the dull earth with graceful
distain,
My fearless, my peerless, my loved Lady Jano
Her silken ears lifted when danger is nigh,
How kindles the light in her reeolute eye
How stately she PAGES, as if to the sound
Of proud, martial melody playing around
Now pauses at once mid a,light caracole,
To turn her mild glance on me- beaming with
soul;
Now fleet as fairy she speeds Ger the plain,
My darling, my treasure, my own Lady Jano !
Give herein let her so! Like shaft from
the bow,
Like bird on tho wing she is speeding, trow,
Light of heart, light Of limb, with spirit all
fire,
Yet ewayed and subduod by my idlest desire
Though daring, yet docilc, and spogtiye, but
true
Her natures the noblest that ever knew,
How she filings back her head in dainty dis
dain
My beauty my graceful, my gay Lady Jane

You have seen the man in the moon,

was banished there for gathering sticks
on the Sabbath day. But I'm told
that in Sweden the PEASANTS children
see, instead of a man, a boy and girl

Two American Magazines.

The excellence Of American Magazine has
become so well recognized abroad, that the
leading English Papers. the London Weekly
Register, iii q recent issue. thus speaks OF
SCRIBNER's MONTHLY.
1--WE are constrained to own that SCrtb1er'S

simply wonderful shilling's worth. Moth

managed with truly artistic power. Out of
its one and twenty ri!i.al articles, we really
do not know which to choose as. best, for each

Not only is that SCRIBNER's MONTHLY en-
cells the English Magazines, but it is "Ihe
best Of american N0nttLieS."

PUNCTUAIITY. General Washington
Was a pattern Of punctuality. When
he engaged to meet Congress at noon,
he never failed to be at the door of the
hall just as the clock was striking
twelve. He always dined at four o.
clock and if the guests whom he had
invited were not present, the dinner
went on precisely at the appointed
hour, without waiting for them.
Washington would make no apology,
but simply remark, "Gentlemen, We
are punctual here" When those PEG
pie GOT another invitation to dine with
the President, they would be sure to
be in time.
a person had a pair OF beautiful
horses to sell, which the President
wanted to buy. Five o'clock in the
morning OF a certain day was fixed
as the time for Washington to sec
them but the horses were moi
brought till quarter past five, when the
owner was told that the President haC
been there at the hour appointed, but
had gone away. The man thus lost ;
good chance of selling his horses by
his delay of one quarter Of an hour.

FASHION has decreed that the
elegance of a toilet no longer consists
in its appearing worth a large sum OF
money, but simply in the perfection of
its fit and details. At this time of
the year, more than ever, a disting,se
and becoming toilet is within the
reach of every exchequer, providing
it belongs to q lady of taste.

IHROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
investigation which have marked the
path Of scientific discovery, one especially
alluring object has tempted the inquiries
and speculatlons of philosophers 1t is
what the wizards and witches of olden
time, the jugglers of India, soothsayers
OF Arabia, Magi of Egypt, necromancers
OF Turkey and the Orient, and alchemists
OF civilized Europe have sought, but
sought in vain--a 0egetdble non-p0is0H0us
Elfr5r, which, by cleansing the blood re-
moving from the system all impurities,
strengthening the nerves, the muscles and
the brain, and vitalizing every Der of the
system, should bid defiance to the cor
roding hand Of disease.
DR. Walker, of California, discovered
an herb, the properties of which, if they
do not entirely fulfill all the conditions
above mentioned, have at least proved
themselves etficacious in all OF them this
herb Doctor Walker has made an ingre-
dient in his famous VINEGAR BTTTERs,
which can be obtained of any wholesale
druggist throughout the country. A

Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark among
both wholesale and retail druggists that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with SO large a sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length Of time, as Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case
The correct explanation, we think, is found
in the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures of very bad
cases of bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient
remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever
been introduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest of blood purifying
and strengthening properties that medical
science has been able to produce thus render
ing it a sovereign remedy not only in the cure
of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, as scrofulous diseases, botches,
rough skin, pmples black specks and dis col-
orations. 1t has, therefore, wide range of
application and usefulness, and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations of the
most sangulne, thus elicitiDg the loudest
praise, and making permanent li0ing advertis-
ing mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps rag
gist in all the vast domain of this con inent
who tries to please his customers and supply
their wants that does not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medicine.
