AmbrOsial Cocktails
THE REASON WHY.

The question is daily asked by thousands Of
our citizens, why it is the Xxi Bitters have
achieved,such popularity with the public, and
have such an immense sale:" The reason is
because they are an old and well established
article, and are made from the most choice
herbs and roots; the many who have tried them,
testify to their beneficial qualities, and have no
hesitation in recommending them to their
afflicted friends.
They are acknowledged to be the best tonic
and recuperator known; they build up the sys-
TEN, and impart strength to the weak and ex-
hausted, and are endorsed and recommended by
our most eminent Physicians las per certificates
en- each bottle). To those afflicted with the
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Loss of Appetite, as
q blood purifier they surpass all other SO called
tonics which have lately been placed in the
market.
No family should be without them. Sold
everywhere.

A Very QnIet Baby.

George Washington Fenton drove the
oxen at Armstrong; mill. He was cadav-
erOus looking individual, and he maintain
ed the dignity of labor by as little familiar
ity with it as possible. He had an extern
sive family, and as they would eat, he had
to shift somehow to feed them. When the
laoteal fluid was surreptitiousy abstracted
from the neighbours kline, or when a farmer
went to harvest his sweet potatoes, and
found himself minus the tubers, the Fem
tons were making cottage cheese or feast

day Mr.. Walker slaughtered fat pig aud
hung it up in the smoke house. Next
morning it was gone. Walker and his son
John found Fenton at home, and in his

in hushed voice, fearing to disturb the

Walker would not search without his
presence.
John can rock the cradle until we re-
turn, " said he.
John seated himself at the cradle and
rocked diligently. After a thorough but
fruitless search, Walker returned and
found John still rocking and the baby still
sleeping. Fenton thanked the latter pro-
fusely for his services as nurse, and the
nOighbors departed. When alone Fenton
executed war dance by way of rejoicing.
He had stolen the pig, and, expecting the
call, had laid the porker in the cradle as a
substitute for baby, covering it up very
nicely indeed. John had quietly rocked
the object of their search, while his father
was seeking for it. In the meantime, the
Fentons had roast pork and apple sauce fol
dinner.

The Pursuit Of once.

The Hon. Albert q. Brown, Of Mississip-
pi, recently wrote letter to young friend,
wherein he laments that he ever made
political speech or held an Office. Ex-Gov-
eruor Brown was for thirty-three years,
previous to 1866, continually in high official
and political station, and would therefore
seem to have had as extensive and favora-
BILE an experience as any Of his contempora-
ries and associates.
We quote as follows;
True, as you say, held many offices.
Indeed, may say never knew defeat in
any of my aspirations. Andit is just be-
cause had success which people call won

word of caution to the young men of this
generation. Friend do not be deceived by

young friends will be governed by my ad-
vice, have this to say, after all my success
as public man, now when my head is
blossoming for the grave, feel that it
would have been better for me If had fol-
lowed the occupation of my father, and
been farmer.
The mechanic arts are all honorable
To be blacksmith, a carpenter, or an
artizan of any kind, is no discredit to any
man. Better that than be a jack-leg law
yer, quack doctor, a counter hopper, or,
worse still, q wretched seeker after Office.
OF all pursuits in life that of the farmer
is the most respectable. 1t may have its
trials and disappointments, so do all others.

labor, the professional man his fees, the edi-
tor may weep over delinquent subscribers;
but the honest, Industrious farmer is NOR
ally certain of fair return for his labor.

against the beguiling influence of office, and
to advise hem most earnestly to stick to

A Doubtful Compliment.

Mr.. Stone a well-known and excellent
Christian gentleman, belonging to one of
the uptown churches, was up in the
country in the summer, and learning that
an evening prayer meeting was in progress
at the village church, walked in and took
a scat in the back part Of the room. The
brother in the chair conducting the meet
ing, observing the stranger, left his seat,
and, coming to Mr.. Stone, said to him
"What is your nameP"
"My name is Stone"
"Where are you from s''
81 am from Philadelphia"
care you one of the Lords people?"
81 hope that l am,' answered Mr.
Stone, with becoming humility. The pre-
siding genius, satisfied with the answers
to his catechism, returned to his elevated
seat, and at the end of the hymn arose, and
said
"Will Brother Stone from Phiadelphia
favor us with few remarks ?''
Mr.. Stone, willing to do what he could,
and having been often told to do in the
country as he would in the city, rose and
made few practical observations to the
best of his ability. No sooner had he
sat down than the presiding elder rose, and
said
"Will Brother Stone ask the Lord to
bless his feeble remarksP''
Undismayed by this commentary on his
speech, Mr.. Stone offered prayer, and the
meeting proceeded as usual.

A ReprOOf Of FOppery.

Dean Swift was a great enemy to ex-
travagance in dress, and particularly to
that destructive ostentation in the middle
classes, which led them to make their ap-
pearance above their condition in life. Of
his mode of reproving this folly in those
persons for whom he had any esteem, the
following instance has been recorded
When George Faulkner, the printer, re-
turned from London, whore he had been
soliciting subscriptions for his edition of
the Deans works, he went to pay his re-
spects to him, dressed in lace waistcoat,
bag wig, and other fopperies.
Swift received him with the same cere-
mony as if he had been stranger. "And
pray, SIR" said he, "what are your COM
mands with me?'' az thought it was my
duty, sir" replied George, "to wait upon
you Immediately upon my arrival from
London" "Pray, sir, who are you ?''
"George Faulkner, printer.' You,
George Faulkner, the printerP Why, you
are the most impudent, barefaced scoun-
drel OF any imposter ever met with
George Faulkner is plain, sober citizen,
and would never trick himself out in lace
and other fopperies. Get you gone, you
rascal, at once OF will Immediately
send you to the House of Correction"
Away went George as fast as he could,
and having changed his dress, returned to
the deanery, where he was received with
great cordiality. "My friend George"
said the Dean, 81 am glad to see you re-
turn safe from London. Why, there has
been an impudent fellow with me just now,
dressed in lace waistcoat, and he would
fain pass himself off for you, but soon
sent him off with flea in his ear"

generosity that he gathered up all the

neighborhood and gave the rich man
serenade. When the serenade was over he
divided the reward among them.

icy The history Of the Commonwealth
OF Virginia, says the Richmond Wing,
begins with an auction sale-not, however,
in store, but beneath the green trees of
jamestown, where probably the most anx-
ious and interested crowd of auction habi-
tues ever known in the history of the world
were gathered, In q letter, still to be
seen, dated London, August 81, 1921, and
directed to a worthy oolonist of that settle
ment, the writer begins by saying
"We send you a shipment one widow
and eleven maids, for wives of the people
of Virginia. There has been especial care
in the choice of them, for there hath not
one of them been received but upon good
recommendations In case they cannot be
presently married we desire that they may
be with several householders that have
wives, until they can be provided with hus-
bands"
But the writer of this epistle had little
reason to fear that any Of the "naidens
faire" would be left over. The archives
contain evidence to prove that these first
cargoes Of young ladies were put up at
auction and sold for one hundred and
twenty pounds Of tobacco each, and ii was
ordered that this debt should have prece-
dence Of all others. The solitary "one
widow" went along with the others, for
they could not be particular in those days.
The good minister of the colony no doubt
had a busy time that day. He did not
mention any fees, nor did the bridegrooms
think OF rendering any. All was Joy and
gladness no storms ahead, no inqhisitive
clerk to stand and say, "Here's helicense,
fork over that g. Nothing Of the SORT.
From some of these couples the first fani-
lies in Virginia are descended.
