There can be no greater error than
the popular one that our President is
habitually silent in strictly private life.
Those who know him best always speak
with enthusiasm of his social qualities.
The President and Mrs. Grant always
receive those who have the privilege
of receiving them socially in the even
ings, and their friends greatly enjoy
the pleasant converse on such occasions.
The President laughs, talks and jests,
showing decided relish for wit and
humor. The class who are forever
clamoriDg for Republican simplicity
should be satisfied when they see the
President taking his relaxation in such
simple fashion as an afternoon walk
unattended.-- Washington Letter ia

NV NeighbOr's Baby.


Across in my neigbor's window,
With its drapings Of satin and lace,
see, meath its flowing ringlets,
A baby's innocent face.
His feet in crimson slippers,
Are tapping the polished glass,
And the crowd in the street looks upward
And nod and smile as they pass
Just here in my cottage window,
Catching flies in the sun,
With a patched and faded apron,
Stands my own little one.
His face is as pure and handsome
As the baby's over the way,
And he keeps my heart from breaking,
At my toiling every day.
Sometimes when the day is ended,
And sit in the dusk TO rest,
With the face of my sleeping darling
Rugged close to my lonely breast,
pray that my neighbor's baby
Nav not catch heavens roses all,
But that some may crown the forehead
OF my loved one as they fall
And when I draw the stockings
IIOul HIS ultlC veal ACCl1
And kiss the rosy dimples
In his limbs so round and sweet,
| think of the dainty garments
Some little children wear,
And that my God withholds them
From mine so pure and fair.
May God forgive my envy
know not what 1 said;
NY heart is crushed and troubled,
My neigboris boy is dead.
! saw the little coffin
As they carried it out to-day
A mothers heart Is breaking
In the mansion over the way.
The light is fair in my window,
The flowers bloom OF my door;
My boy is chasing the sunbeams
That dance on the cottage floor.
The roses of health are blooming
On my darling's cheeks to-day,
But the baby's gone from the window
OF the mansion over the way.

use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-
est, surest, and best Of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys-
tenn expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayers Pills, and
stimulated into action. Thus inciplent disease
is changed into health the value Of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
il, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length OF time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these

ach, and restore its healthy ton tone "a and action:
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bill.
tous Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judicoasly taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatisn, Gous. Gravel, Pal.
pitati0n Of the Heart, Pain In the
bide, Back and Loins, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression, large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym.
pathy.
AS Dinner PiU, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.
