Dr. sehenel.,s Stnndard Remedies

DR.. scnemcE's Standard Remedies
The standard remedies for all diseases Of the
lungs are SCHESCR's PULMOSIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED Tone, and SCHESCK's
MASDRAEE Pills, and, if taken before the
lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J.. H. Schenck,
Of Philadelphia. owes his unrivalled success in
the treatment OF pulmonary diseases
The PulmOnic Syrup ripeus the morbid mat
ter in the lungs; nature throws il on by an easy
eXpectOratiCn, for when the phlegm OF matter Is
ripe, a slight cough viii throw it of, the patient
has rest, and the lungs begin 10 heal.
10 enable the PulmOnic Syrup TO do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and SChenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used 70 cleanse the
stomach and liver. SChenCk's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and
the liver is soon relieved.
SChenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle Stimu-
liant and Alternative; the alkaH of which il Is
composed mixes with the food and prevents
sOuring. 1t assists the digestion by tOning up the
stomach 20 a healthy condition, SO that the food
and the PulmOnic Syrup viii make good blood;
then the lungs heal, and the patient viii surely
get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. SChenck, either
personally or by letter, can do 50 at his princi-
pal office, corner of Sixth ard Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday.
SChenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

In every respect the best and most per-
feet machine in use. No man has any ex-
cuse for not presenting to his wife, mother
or sister one of these superior machines.
The price is low, and he can have n long
time to pay it. When one considers the
low price at which it is sold, and the fact
that it has demonstrated its superiority
over all other machines by surprising them
in elegant work, and above all, the terms on
which it is sold, the wonder is that there
is not Howe Sewing Machine in every
home in the State.
The Southern people should bear in mind
that the "Howe" is. not sold at an advance

is the case with some competitors.

The urisl. Morally and Physical
~.

Interesting statistical reports have
recently been published which bring
into comparison the different national
tiles composing the United Kingdom
Of Great Britain and Ireland. In this
the Irish appear to great advantage
on two important polniS-m respect
to morality in the relation between
the two sexes, and in respect to physi-
cal health and morality. Scotland is
the best educated Of the three coun
tries, England occupies the second
place in that respect, and Ireland the
last. But according to the reports for
1872, Scotland has the greatest pro
portion Ut illcgitimat, biths, England
less, but least Of aI Ireland Only
two-hiths per cent. OF all the children
born in Ireland were iIlegimatc. The
reputation Of the Irish as a moral pee.
pie is therefore well founded.
The Irish, in spite OF the poverty Of
the masses, seems to be the hcalthieSt
portion of the United Kingdom. In
England The proportion Of the deaths
OF males under five years in 1872 was
A. 10 per cent. while in the same
year in Ireland ii was 1852 per cent
OF those who died during that year in
Ireland three hundred and sixty eight
were returned as persons over ninety
five years Of age. The number OF
deaths Of males iii England t..ng the
same period was more than I've times
IA large aS the total mmhpt Of deaths
in Ireland, but only one hundred as
being nineiyfyeyearS oIdan upwards.
This is 4 pretty good show ng for the
Irish people, and Il strong testimony
| in their favor

The Yel.0w-aann,Mae Nest,
NY John ". CHADWICK,

The yellow-hammer came TO build his nest
High in the elm-tree's ever-nodding crest
All the long day, upon his task intent,
Backward and forward busilv lie went.
Gathering from far and near the tiny shreds,
That brides weave for little brides beds
Now bits OF grass, now bits of vagrant string,
And now some queercr. dcarer sort of thing.
For ON the lawn. where be was wont tc
CCmC
In search OF stuff to build his pretty home.
We dropped one day lock of golden hair
Which our wee darling easily could spare
And close beside it tenderly we placed
a lock that had the stopping shoulders
graced
Of her old grandsre it was white as snow.
Or cherry-trees when they are all ALLOW.
Then throve the yeliow-hammer work
apace
Hundreds of times he sought the lucky place
Where sure, he thought, in his bird-fashion
dim,
Wondrous provision had been made for him.
Both locks, the white and golden, disap-
peared
The nest was finished. and the brood was
reared
And then there came II pleasant summers
day
When the last yellow-hammer flew away.
Ere long, in triumph, from its leafy height,
We bore the nest so wonderfully digit,
And saw how prcttily the white and gold
Made warp and wool of many cleaning
fold.
But when again the yellow hammer came
Cleaving the orchards with their pallld flame,
Grandsire's white locks and baby's golden
head
Were lying low, both in one grassy bed
And so more dear than ever is the nest
Ta'en from the elm-tree's cver-nodding crest
Little the yellow hammer thought how rare
\ thing he wrought of white and golden
hair
