1t is useless for free-thinking people to
write notes to the newspapers concerning
the toolishness of closing the exhibition
grounds in Philadelphia on Sunday. The
spirit which leads the Commissioners to re-
fuse to do so is something beyond the mere
desire Of capriciously exercising despotic
power. 1t consists in the belief that Sun
day is the Lords day. and that Mosaic
Interpretation of it is indispensable to sal
walton. A little extension of this way of
looking at the matter would lead the Com
missioners who entertain it to send infidels
TO the stake and the scaffold, as the best
means of modifying for them the pains of
hell. The Commissioners who are oppos-
ed to the Sabbath opening are sincere
enough. They are bigots, fanatics, if you
will; but they are doing what they hon
estly believe is for the best interests of all
parties. If any one is to be blamed, it is
those who have put such people into such
an important charge. Men filing such
posts ought to have large and comprehen-
sive minds. susceptible of that charity

The Little BIack-Eyed Rebel.
BY WILL CARLETON.

A boy drove into the city, his wagon loaded down
With food to feed the people of the British governed
town;
And the little black eyed rebel so cunning and so sly,
rs watching for his coming fro the corner Of her
eye.
His face looked broad and honest, his hands were
brown and tough,
The clothes he wore upon him were homespun,
coarse, and rough;
But one there who watched him. who long time
fingered nigh,
And cast at him sweet glances from the corner of
her eye.
lie drove up TO the market, he waited in the line
Hlr apples and potatoes were fresh and fair and fine !;
hut long and long he waited and no TO buy,
Save the blackeyed rebel watching from the corner
OF her eye.
Now who Will buy my appes?" he shouted, long
and loud;
And Wv no wants my potatoes" lie repeated to the
crowd:
But from all the people round him came no word of
Save the backeyed rebel, answering from the corner
of her eye.
For she knew that meath the lining of the coat he
wore that day
Were long letters from the husbands and the fathers
far away,
Who were fighting for the freedom that they meant
70 gain or die;
And like silver eiistened in the corner of her
eye
Bat the treRsures-how to get them? crept the CUES
tion through her mind,
Since Keen enemies Were watching for what prizes
they might find;
And she paused a while and poGdered with arpretty
little sigh
Then resolve crept through her features, and a
shrewdness fired her eye.
SO she rosouely walked up the wagon old and red
May nave dozen apples for Il kiss" she sweetly
said:
And the brown face flushed to scarlet for the boy
was somewhat shy
And he saw her laughing al him from the corner of
her eye.

you want" quoth he.
Il Viii have them, my good fellow, but can pay for
them" said She
And she cambered on the wagon, minding not who
all were by,

her eye.

gers white and small,
and then whispered quick! the letters thur5

DR.. Samuel Pitcher, of Hyannis, Mass, expert
mented in his private practice for twenty years to
produce a combination that would have the proper
ties of Castor Oil without its unpleasant taste
and gripping effect.
His preparation was sent for. near and far, till
finally he gave it the name of Castoria and put it
up for sale. 1t very wonderful in its effects par
ticularly with the disordered stomachs and bowels
of children. 1t assimiIates the food, cures
sour stomach and wind collie, regulates the bowels,
expeis worms. and may be relied upon in Group.
AS pleasant, effective and perfectly safe ca
rhartfc remedy it is superior to Castor Oil, Cor
dials and Syrups. 1t does not contain achohol and
is adapted to any age.
BY regulating the stomach and bowels OF cross
and sickiy children they become good natured
and healthy. They can enjoy sleep and mothers

Physicians recommend, and Farriers declare that
no such remedies have ever before been in use.
Words are cheap, but the proprietors of these ari
cles will present trial bottles to medical men, gratis
as guarantee of what they say.
The Centaur Liniment, White Wrapper,
will cure Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Scia-
tica. Caked Breasts. Sore Nipples Frosted Feet,
Chillblans. Swellings, Sprains, and any ordinary
FLESH, BONE OR MUSCLE A1LMENT.
We make no pretense that this article will cure
Cancer, restore lost bones, give health to whis-
key soaked carcass. But it will always reduce in
Illumination and allay pain.
1t will extract the poison of bites and stings and
heal burns scalds without q scar. Palsy,
Weak Back, Caked Breasts, Earache, Toothache,
Itch and Cutaneous Eruptions readily yield to its
treatment.
