A PRovIDENTIAL MAN.-This title
now Justly belongs to physician who
has added to the list of medicines a
new remedy which appears to include
all that is most valuable in the old
pharmacopnia, and not to include any
of the drawbacks with which the So
called specifics of the Faculty are
chargeable. The providential man is
DR.. JOSEPH WALKER, of California,
whose VINEGAR BITTERs have achieved.
in the short space of two years, de-
gree of popularity never before at
tanned by any advertised preparation
in this country. We have too much
confidence in the shrewdness of the
American people to suppose that this
sudden and surprising celebrity is the
outgrowth of delusion. Indeed, we
have reason to know that it is founded
on innumerable and well authenticated
cures of almost all the bodily ills that
flesh is heir to. Not the least among
the merits of the famous Tonic and
Restorative, is its entire freedom from
alcohol, as we'll as from all mineral
drugs. 1t is composed exclusively OF
rare vegetable extracts. II

The MnnIY 10y.

What is it makes a manly boy? IL is
not size or weight, for there are some
large, heavy boys that are anything but
manly. We sawsone once, big, burly
fellow, about fourteen years old, with a
voice as loud, almost, as that of mule,
but we did not think he was very manly
when we saw him pick up small boy,
who was quietly playing with q little
wooden wagon, and lift him above his
head, while he screamed in his ear as
loud as he could, and then set him down.
The little fellow was pale with fright,
and cried the big fellow laughed aloud,
and went his way, ha- ha-ing as he went,
and no doubt thinking that he had
done very fine thing. But he was not
manly.
Nor does the power to smoke cigars,
without getting sick, make manly boy.
Some boys think SO, we know. We have
seen even small boys, nine or ten years
old, pick up stumps of cigars which
men had thrown into the gutter, and
puff away at them, holding up their
heads and stalking along as If to say,
Ladies and gentlemen, look at us.
We are men, we are. We smoke, and
we don't get sick" But they are not
men.
A manly boy is one who shows some
good, manly qualities. We do not ex
pect him to be as large as man, or as
wise as man. But he will be truthful,
honest and well-behaved. He will
never speak of his father as the Gov
ernor," or the "old man - nor will he
speak of his mother as the "old
III x-,11 1Nn IL, a1 20
have it known that he loves both his
father and his mother nor will he be
afraid of all the ridicule which silly boys
may heap upon him because of his love.
They may call him 3" baby, and say
what they please about being sled by
his mothers apron strings" he does
not mind that, for he knows that he is
right.
He will never engage in low, mean
sport he loves real sport, but will do
nothing for fun that he would be afraid
to talk about at the dinner table. He
does not torment small boys, but is ready
to help them when he can. His sisters
are not careful to hide their work, their
books, or their toys from him, lest he
should disturb or destroy them he
would never think of that. He is care
full not to be greedy at the table, or
rude in company, but remembers that
others have rights as well as himself.
Does anybody say that this is very
well to talk about, but that no one ever
yet saw such boys DIS are here described?
We answer, "There are such boys,
plenty of them, and wehave seen them"
They are as full of fun as other boys
they equal anybody at the different
sports in which boys delight they swim,
and skate, and play ball, and roll hoop,
and run just like other boys but their
behavior is gentle and kind.
These manly boys, when they grow
up, will make real men, and will be, in
the best sense of the werd, gentlemen"

his face swollen Quo Of shape, scales and
eruptions without end extending to his body,
which was completely covered with blotches
and scales. Nothing that he took seemed to
affect it particle. l finally induced him to
trya few bottles of the Golden Medical Dis
covery, with daily use of the Pellets, assuring
him it would surely cure him. He commenced
it's use some six weeks since, taking two
Pellets each night for a week, then one each
night, and the Discovery as directed. The re-
suit is to-day his skin is perfectly smooth, and
the scaly eruptions are gone. He has taken
some seven or eight bottles in all, and con-
siders himself cured. This case had bafiled

IT isn't easy to make good catalogue
of large library, and it often happens
that bad catalogue is made even of a
small one. That which has Just been
printed by the Topeka Library Asso-
citation is described as a curiosity of
clumsiness, inaccuracy and ignorance,
Astounding in such geography as :
" Princip. ais of Physiology :" "Eittle
Tom Grubbs and his Wonderful Dog"
"Sketch of the Life Character of CiS-
cero." The author of the "View of
Europe During the Middle Ages is set
down as Henry Hallow. In the cata-
logue, by no means long one, there
are eighteen misspelled words. We
have seen some pretty bad work of the
kind, but this Topeka production only
makes us wonder how they came to
have a library there at all.
