A sight to draw tears from a boulder:
A clcan-looking lad
On the forward car had
Been scooped by a man that was older
Avery unprincipled cad
The hoary old sinner was sitting
With cards on his knee;
"Who plays monte with me?"
He asked as the pasteboards were fitting
who'll tell me which one of the three 2"
The parson that preached at Anoka-
b. Jones is his name
Stood and looked at the game
(He thought it was euchre or poker),
Aud loudly remarked, SITS a shame!"
Then he spoke as became his position,
And asked Monte to shun
The career he'd begun,
And escape from eternal perdition
By returning the money he'd won.
A sight to draw tears from a statue:
That gambler had vowed
He would clean out the crowd,
And the good boy was penniless-that you
Could learn as he blubbered aloud.
The old sinner tossed the cards under
And over and back
The ace, tray and jack
And they seemed to Jones, gazing in wonder,
The ~liyeliest cards in the pack.
Three pasteboards the monte man futtered,
Nor lifted his phiz;
Kept right at his biz;
And the parson thought, rather than uttered,
snow / see where every card isl"
He whispered, "My good lad, the winner
Must know what to do
See the trick through and through
Must be sharp; I'll rebuke that old sinner,
And win back your money for you.
As the hardened old buffer was sitting
The parson could see
Every card on his knee;
Again the bright pasteboards were fitting
The Jack and the ace and the three.
Jones put up his watch as a wager,
Laid hand on the back
OF a card in the pack,
And said, 90 lis the tray !" The old stager
Upturned it, and 10! twas the jackI
The good boy ceased his plaintive narration,
And smiled, as If glad;
The unprincipled cad
Took the watch and got off at the station;
Jones gritted his teeth and was-sad.
For in a low dive in q cellar
The cronies went down
He saw the dice thrown,
And they drunk TO 3" that artful old feller"-
A sight to draw tears from a stone.
Jones poured out his griefs to a brother,
And soon it was known
Where his ticker had gene;
Parish Clipped in and bought him another,
Inscribed, "Never travel alone J"
The monte twain keep their position:
The good little lad
And unprincipled cad;
Jones went to the Hottentot mission;
al ant stand the heather" he said. "

The GREAT FAMILY MEDICINE.-Dr.
Wilhoft's Anti-Periodic or Fever and Ague
Tonic! No case of incurable Chills has yet
presented itself, where this scientific and safe
medicine has been employed. No case has
been found SO obstinate as to resist its prompt
and mastery action. No man has been SO re-
duced by malarial influences but with its use
has come up perfectly reconstructed Nc
pills or purgative required with this medicine.

BETTER deal with a whole fool than
with half a one.
The ass carries corn to mill and gets
thistles.
WHEN all other sins grow old, avarice
is young.

HOBBY horses are dearer than Arab
steeds.

THANK. "From the Depths of tho Heart

InanRS from inc DepUIb y L tnc N
WELLINGTON, Lorraine Co., O., Aug. 81, 1874.
DIR. R. v. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.
Dear Sir-Your medicines, Golden Medical
Discovery, DIR. Sages's Catarrh Remedy, have
proved of the greatest service to me. Six months
ago no one thought that l could possibly live
long. l had a complication of diseases,--scrof-
ula, manifesting itself in eruptions and great
blotches on my head that made such sores that
1 could not have my hair combed without caus-
ing me much suffering also causing swollen
glands, tonsils enlarged, enlarged or "thick
neck, and large and numerous boils. 1 also
suffered from a terrible Chronic Catarrh, and In
fact / was so diseased that life was a burden to
me-. 1 had tried many doctors with no benefit.
1 finally procured one-half dozen bottles of your
Golden Medical Discovery and one dozen SaGes
Catarrh Remedy and commenced thoir use. AT
first / was badly discouraged, but after taking
four bottles of the Discovery began to improve,
and when l had taken the remaining l was Bet.
In addition to the use of Discovery l applied a
solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick neck,
as you advise in pamphlet wrapping, and it en-
tirely disappeared. Your Discovery il certainly
the most wonderful blood medicine ever in
vented. l thank God and you, from the depths
of my heart, for the great good it has done me.
Very gratefully, Mrs. l.. CHAFfEE'
Most medicines which are advertised as blood
p~urifers and liver medicines contain either mer-
curry, in some form, or potassium and iodine
v~ariously combined. all of these agents have
strong tendency to break down the blood cor
puscles, and debilitate and otherwise perma-
nently injure the human system, and should
therefore be discarded. Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, on the other hand, being
composed of the fiuid extracts of native plants,
barks, and roots, will in no case produce injury
its effects being Strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparilla, which used to enjoy quite
reputation as a blood purifier, is q remedy Of
thirty years ago, and may well give place as 1t Ii
! doing, to the more positive and valuable vege-
table Alternatives which later medical inyestiga
ton and discovery has brought to light. Ii

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Mr.
Sharon was interviewed last evening
with regard to the statement credit

MIA would resume business. He sta
ted, in reply to a direct question =
:" We are moving heaven and earth

ity of it," In reply to question as

The California Failure.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-The
Bank of California will resume bus
mess the latter part of this week or
next Monday, Messrs. Mills, Reece,
Sharon, Cain and Baldwin have sub
scribed one million dollars each for
present use. The Banks assets are
abundantly sufficient to carry them
through. Mr.. Sharon said he would
sacrifice his fortune of fifteen mil
lion dollars rather than have stain
rest on the name of VIM. G. Ralston.
The statement of the directors
will be submitted to the stockhold-
ers on Thursday, and there is no
doubt of the acceptance of the prop
sitions.

The usually quiet little village of
Leesport, on the line of the Philad.
and Reading Railroad, s miles above
this city, has had a sensation which
has caused great deal of amuse-
ment. A Reading Sewing Machine
Agent induced the head of the fami-
ly there to take machine and pay
Tor 1T in monthly instruments. Be
fore the machine was entirely paid
off the husband and father died. The
widow was in destitute Circumstance
es, with half a dozen children and
unable to pay the balance owing on
it., when the agent came round to
take it away. She was determined
that he should not remove the ma
chine until he had handed back at
least some of the money that had
been paid on it by her husband. He
was apparently just as determined to
secure the machine without return
ing any of the filthy lucre, insulted
the woman, and endeavored to take
by force what he said belonged to
the company by reason of the pay
ment OF monthly instalments having
been stopped. While the agent was
inside the house she locked both the
front and back doors, put the
keys in her dress pocket, and
being robust woman event for y
the agent. She took hold of him,
and a severe and prolonged struggle
ensued, whilst the children were ter
ribly frightened, and cried and
screamed. The widow threw the
agent over the hot kitchen stove land
finally succeeded in sitting him down
on top of it and held him there when
he begged piteously for mercy-"For
Gods sake let me go land I'll pay you
back every cent your husband paid
me-" Being satisfied that he was
severely scorched, she pulled him off
the stove, but held on to him until
he had paid back every cent of the
installments. and then she gave him
two minutes time to take the ma
chine and clear out with it. The
name of the plucky woman. and also
the agent, are withheld by special
request.
