CURED.

CARLTON, st. Johns, N. B., Feb. 20, 1875.
Dear Sir: Allow me to state the following facts.
For ten years my daughter had been troubled with
Catarrhi it was continually growing worse. and we
had at last given up all hopes of her ever being cured
for to all appearances she in the last stages of
consumption; her appetite was gone, and her whole
system was completely run down. Seeing your ad.
vertsement in one of our papers, as last resort
purchased box, little thinking it would be of any
benefit to her. had tried numerous articles, both
here and in the United States am now happy to
state that one box of Rader's German Snuff has
made complete cure. Her appetite is good, and
she is fast recovering her wonted health and happi-
ness. Very gratefully yours,

A Lonesome Gid Negro.

There was slight rumpus near the market
early Yesterday morning that escaped the vlsi-
lance Of the officer on duty. An I'D negro
man evidently from the country, was sitting
in his wagon apparently wrapped 10 deep
thought. His hair was 'plentilully sprinkled
with gray, and he was carefully polishing the
glasses of pair of venerable looking specta-
clcs. Something in his appearance attracted the
attention of two neatly dressed muatto boys.
who, with cigars in their mouths, were saun-
tering leisurely by.
"Dare's old man Mcthuselah, 4" remarked
one, while the other began to sing, der was
an old nigger aa his name was Me,huselah-
his name was Meihuselah. When be got, old
he went TO Jeru-"
But before the saddle colored warbler could
finish his diity, the objec, Of bis sercnade had
leaped from the wagon and seized him. The
next moment The tuneful youth was wrigelins
on the ground, while the old man was thump-
ing him with No. II brosan without regard
to the musical pauses, and with such yigor as
to leave the impression on those within hear
ing that an army of spring carnc.-teatcrs bad
begun operations.
Methnselum aint had no such mcrrer in
bis lee like dis, is be ?" queried the old man
as he gave the youth a iual jar that sent him
rolling out Of reach. Scrambing 10 his feet,
the bruised boy, without answering ;'s .r,,er-
rogatory, made up the street at pace that
soon carried him out Of sight.
IN. lonesome niger, am," remarked
the veteran, as be picked M his bat, which
had fallen OF lis head during the humping
process. I'm lonesome by mater, and when

here, he continued, giving a suggestive pull
on the lappels Of his coat, aud casting glance
at those whose attention had been attracted
by the incident just related-"dcy amt no
town niggers roun here DAT wants to keep
me from being lonesome is dey? If dcy is,
jes let him walk right out here in the san.
shuck hisself, and I'll see ef CAM keep him
company while my wind lasts"
As there was 10 response TO this somewhat
sarcastic challenge, the aged negro mounted
his wagon again, and was soon engaged in en-
joyng his propcnsties for "lonesomeness. -

Keep Your Troubles Sacred.

A worthy wife Of forty years standing, aud
whose life was not made up Of sunshine and
peace. gave the following sensible advice to o
married pair Of her acquaintance. The ad-
vice is so good and SO well suited to all mar
ried people cs well as those who intend enter
tanning that state, that we here publish it for
the benefit Of such persons: Preserve sacredly
the privacics of your own house, your married
state, and your heart. Let 10 father or mo-
thor, sister or brother, ever presume to come
between you two, or 10 share the joys and the
sorrows that belong 20 you two alone. With
Gods help, build your own quiet world not
allowing your dearest earthly friend to be the
confdant Of ausht that concerns your domes-
tic peece. let moments OF alienation, If they
occur, be healed at once. N.yer, 10, never
speak OF it outside; but TO each other confess,
and all viii come out right. Never let the
morrow sun still find you at variance. Re-
view aud renew your VOW i, viii do you
good, aud thereby your souls will grow to-
gether, cemented 10 that love which Is stronger
than death. and viii become truly one.

a Glance at yo olden Times.

The first national exhibition Of the products
Of the mechanical skill aud Industry Of tho
people Of the United States was held 10 the
rotunda Of the Capitol in February, 1926,
bot tcrn the election y John Quincy Adams
by the House, as President Of the United
States, aud his Inauguration. 1t was gotten
up TO display the advantages OF Mr.. Clay's
American system Of revenue and the proiec-
ton of home industry, and the display was
very creditable. The principal articles cxhib-
tied were broadcloths, cassimores, lannels,
blankets, cotton goods, singhams, caio,cs,
laces, silks, hats, paper, hardware, harnesscs
rites, glassware, furniture, &c.
Funerals touched weddings at the point Of
feasting, and were often expensive, showy and
pompous occasions. In some parts Of the
country, especially among the Dutch Of Long
Island and New York, it was the custom for
young man to Jag By his earnings after coming
of age until sufficient SUM had accumulated
to provide for Lin respectable funeral
when lie should come to die. Oftentimcs the.
young bursher would reserve half Of the
portion Of wine which he had literally laid in
for bis marriage. to be used at the funeral Of
himself or wife. Special invitations were
sent for funerals as for parties The clergy
men, pall-bearers, and physicians attending.
were provided with sc1rf and gloves, and
sometimes each with mourning ring; while
the feast which followed the intermeut, at tie
house Of the relatives Of lie deceased, elabo-
rate with cold roas. meats wises, liquors, and
pipes, was not unlrequenlly an occasion Of
coarse excesses, sometimes descending into
hilarious and noisy demonstrations. A "re-
spectacle" funeral Of this description might
cost perhaps 81 coo, while the funeral Of the
first wife Of tho Hon Stephen Van Rensselaer,
is said 70 have cost not less than 10000

rare and choice flowers, deity woven by the
hands of lady whose husband ." wore the
