To THE SUFFERING.--An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell
the truth about progress, has declared
that the recent discovery by DIR.
WALKER, of California, of his herb rem
edy, VINEGAR BITTERs, is one Of the
most important in medicine. He has
tested them thoroughly, in his own fam
lily, among his friends, and upon himself ;
and he is driven to the conclusion that
they possess rare and unexcelled cura
tive properties. He says Of them !:
"They contain no dangerous drug. They
never reduce the patient--never render
one liable to take cold---never interfere
with the everyday business of life
never make their continuous use con-
dition of cure, and are adapted to even
the most delicate organization. They
act as kindly on the tender infant, the
delicate female, or infirm old age, as on
the vigorous and athletic system exsr.
cising healthful effects upon every blood
vessel---on the brain, nerves, and lymph
atics--on the Blood, Bile, Gastric Juice,
etc., enriching impoverished fluids, ans
imparting vigor to mind and body" "a

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
pa1pitation, another with trouble OF the
breast, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they all present alike to
themselves and their easy-going and indiffer-
ent doctors, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
they are all symptoms caused by some utter
inc disorder; and while they are thus only
able perhaps to palliate for a time, they are
ignorant of the cause, and encourage their
practice until large bills are made, when the
suffering patients are no better in the end,
but probably worse for the delay, treatment,
and other complications made, and which a
proper medicine directed to the cause would
have entirely removed, thereby instituting
health and comfort instead of prolonged
misery.
From Miss LoRINDA E. ST.. CLAIR, Shade,
Athens Co., Ohio:
"Dr. II. ". Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.--Your
Favorite Prescription is working almost like
a miracle on me. l am better already than
have been for over two years."

CDR. Pierce-I received the medicine you
sent me and began using it immediately. AS

full for"

MANY Ohio farmers claim that seed

THE corn crop of Missouri for 1874 is

IT doesn't generally pay to get mad,
but the Western papers tell of one nota-
BILE exception. A Wisconsin farmer
found one morning last season that the
grasshoppers had taken possession Of his
wheat-field. He was just mad enough to
yoke up his oeqn and 60 over that field
with heavy stone roller, crushing both
wheat and grasshoppers. A rain soon
after fell in, and the wheat revived,
while the grasshoppers didn't. The re-
suit was, he realized fine yield of
wheat, doubly valuable because his
neigbbors didn't get so mad, and hence
lost their crops. We don't, however,
advocate getting mad except in an emer,
pency

DiHeY,S Dog.

From the Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise.l
Almost everybody in town has heard
of Jimmy Diffey's dog Duplex. He had
a thousand tricks, but none that were
swain" Catching ball and all that sort
of business afforded him much pleasure.
Make but single motion as though
throwing something into the air, and
Duplex was all attention. His nose was
aloft in moment, and his ears were
vibrating "six ways for Sunday" while
his tail was extraordinarily infexible.
When he had fallen into this attitude the
majority of external things were not
needed by him until he became con-
WINGED that he was not going to hear any
thing drop. Not only in this but also in
many other respect the dog was study.
Well, poor Duplex is dead now. Last
Sunday afternoon the Chinese residents
of this place rendered their god Gum
boots an ovation, in which fire crackers
and bombs largely predominated.
Jimmy Difey went down to China
town to see this blowout, Duplex fol-
lowing at his heels. Hardly had the
JOSS house been reached when Chinese
worshiper of the cross-eyed god above
mentioned threw high into the air one of
those wicked spherical, wicker-covered
bombs, thing which no other nation
except the Chinese would ever have
thought of inventing. Poor Duplex saw
the ball ascend, and rushed forth from
his masters side, confident that as a
trained dog he was expected to do his
duty. The ball had not yet done ascend
ing when Duplex was underneath it,
squatted upon his launches, nose in the
air, ears vibrating, and tail laying out
along the ground as stiff as a small crow
bar. In vain did Mr.. DuHey shout and
call Here, Duplex You, Duplex !
Get out Come here All, you" Duplex
knew too we'll what under similar circum-
stances had always been expected of him,
he knew his duty. AS the kissing sphere
reach its greatest altitude, pausing the
fractional part of second and then be-
gan its descent, the slightest bit of
tremor imaginable was to be observed in
the extreme point of the tail of the alert
animal : then, as the ball descended
nearer and nearer, he was firm as a rock,
he was accurately measuring his distance.
AT the exact and critical moment, Du-
pick darted from the ground, straight as
an arrow from the bow, his rigid, we'll
formed tail pointing directly to the
ground, and his mouth open to its widest
capacity. Down between the distended
jaws of the dog fell the bomb. "Drop
it, you rascalp shouted Mr.. Difey,
"drop it, drop it, STRIP But Duplex did
not drop it. A heavy dull explosion was
heard, sort of thud, and Duplex, where
washe? The greater part of him lay where
theexplosion occurred, but one of his eyes
was sent across the street through the
window of Hop Lock, the Chinese doctor,
the end of his nose fell in the boudoir OF
Miss 500 Chow, and shower of teeth
rained in the meat market and pig-killing
establishment of the fat and easy going

and sold. A passer-by, seeing this fine
splendid turkey! just the thing for the
parsons Christmas dinner" And to the
hparson" it was sent. The prudent wife
sent it second time to the market, and
sold it again for handsome sum. An
other friend, similarly struck with the
magnificent proportions of the turkey,
purchased it, and also sent it to the
"parson." Not wishing to fly in the
face of Providence, the good man said,
at last, at is very clear that the Lord
means us to have this turkey" and,
with the entire appreciation of the fam
lily, it formed part Of the Christmas
dinner.

Beecher Family Analysed.

There is a general opinion that the
Beechers we re the original Abolitionists
Of the country, the founders or earliest
advocates of all its advance humanitarian
movements; and that therefore, the fall
of Beecher must drag down all that is
best in our Christian progress. This
popular idea of their positions is the re-
suit Of their policy, of their consummate
skill in knowing when to strike an in
coming wave of popular sentiment.
Thirty years ago they were only known
to American Abolitionists as people whose
theories were to be combated, or who
might be relied upon for help when to
give it would subserve their personal in
terests. i think no one can point out an
instance in which one of them ever lost
a months salary for any principle. They
have great talents, but have always
seemed to regard themselves as the
bona-fde owners, not stewards, of that
which has been intrusted to their keep
ing. They are essentially selfliking,
selfopinionated people, and Henry Ward
is the highest development of all the
family traits. Sympathetic, enthusiast
tic, perfect magazine of animal mag
netism, an inexhaustible deposit of
words, and words with ideas in them, de-
votional, poetic, but incapable of rigid
self control, of great self-abnegation-
with face so strongly marked. by SEN
sualism that it must strike even casual
observer, people have expected too
much of him. Under ordinary circum-
stances, with the amount of conscien-
tiousness that he certainly did possess, he
might have lived and died bearing a
clean record; but his marriage was not
congenial, and he was exposed in the
largest possible measure to that tempta-
tion which besets every popular preacher
in the open sesame which his profession
gives TO the confidence of women, and 10
the advances made by one class through
childish ignorance, and by another
through total depravity.-Jdne Gray

Chickens ut Ten Cents a Shot.

The following is from the Marquette
(Mich.) Journal: A week or so ago three
Marquette sports went down to the Dutch
settlement on deer hunt, which was to
last several days. They put up with
"Louis," an agricultural resident of that
locality, who occasionally entertains the
sportive NimrOd and as the allotted time
for the chase had drawn to a close with
out that degree of success they had hoped
for, (they had not in three days hard
tramping seen a solitary deer,) they pro-
posed to Louis, as they sat by the fire in
the evening, that in the morning, before
they started for home, he should put up
some of his chickens at distance of thir-
ty rods and allow them to shoot at them
for compensation. Yah, dat ish all
right" said Louis, "you gift me ten cents
every shoot, and ven you gill him he ish
yours" This arrangement completed, the
sports retired with anticipations of fun
in the morning. So, after breakfast,
they settled their bill, had their team
brought up and hitched to the fence,
and all arrangements made to start right
off as soon as they had cleaned the Dutch
man out of all his chickens at ten cents
apiece. While the sports were fixing
up rest" Louis took fine rooster
under his arm and started for stump
about thirty rods distant. After tying
him securely he returned, and putting a
board across the rain barrel, commenced
to make change. Yong Preston laid his
improved Remington in the notch and
blazed away, but the majestic chanti-
cleer didn't even turn his head or wink
his eyebrow. Evidently Preston had
missed. A smile of pity for the inexpe-
rience of their comrade beamed on the
faces of the others as Latimer adjusted
his piece and fired. "Beats all |" he re-
marked after pause, as the rooster gave
no signs of being hit. Satterlee, Jr.,
laughed long and loud as he threw him
self upon the plank and peered through
the globes of his fancy Henry. Watch
i'm now"-bang! They watched him,
and evidently he was watching them,
and wondering what in thunder they
were trying to do. The next two rounds
were fired without much comment by
the sports, and his nibs never futtered.
Then they got some hot water and clean
ed their guns and fired at target. 1t
was easy enough to hit the target, but
when it came to that rooster "they wasn't
there" Finally Latimer hit upon hap.
ply idea. His gun was double barreled
-one rifled and the other for shot, and
as he quietly slipped in sixteen buck
shot and leveled over the plank smile
of sardonic sweetness illuminated his
I features. The report was terrific, and the
head of the rooster dropped down beside
the stump, but he himself stood up there
yet in all the pristine majesty of former
days. 1t was sight to see! Silently and
without word, those three young men
entered their cutter and drove away
Louis had killed the rooster the night
before and froze him harder than the
language these young men INDUCED in
on their way back to Marquette.

The Parsons Turkey.

Half century ago, when the income
of dissenting preacher in England was
not very large, his salary was often sup
plemented by bountiful supply of pro-
visions from the well-to-do members of
his congregation. A Baptist minister in
Hertfordshire used at Christmas time to
be positively inundated with hampers
filled with good things. On one occa-
sion an enormous turkey was sent to him
by the thoughtful kindness of neighbor-
ing farmer; but, as the minister's family
had already provided for the Christmas
dinner, the bird was sent into the market

YOUNG FOLKS.
Cricket ana Cat-Bird.

There's quaint little fellow In black,
In out-of-way places he hides;
Good nature he never doth lack,
And fretting and care he derides.
With arms held akimbo, he stands
And takes the world easy each day;
He owneth nor houses nor lands, ~r'- )
Yet, sunlight or rain, he doth say,
"Cheer up! cheer up"
There's queer little matron who hops
Mid leaves Of the garden and grove;
Her querulous tongue never stops
Complaining, where'er she doth rove.
She seemeth a sprite Of old Care;
While cherry and blue are the skies,
And Joy is abroad ON the air,
Forever she murmurs and cries,
80 dearl D dearl"
There are boys yes, and girls, like these twain
meet them In field and In street;
From fretting some never abstain,
But some all cheerfulness seem. ~
d A cricket or cat-bird to-day,
Now which will you be, little dearf
A kiss for the red lips that say,
Though skies may be cloudy or clear,
"Cheer upI Cheer upW
