A PROMISING PUPIL. Some years age
a benevolent lady of this city took a little
negro girl into her family, intending &c
give her very thorough moral and re,
lgious training Unfortunately, the child
was much given to lying. and though the
mistress strove necessarily by precept and
example to eradicate this vice, her efforts
were far from successful. One day, re-
turning home after some hours absence
the lady was met at the door by her sable
handmade, with many tears, informed ner
that she had broken very valuable emma
pitcher, an heirloom in the family.
Here was light in the darkness at last,
strict truthfulness in the face OF reprimand
or punishment, and the good mistress was
delighted. Such an opportunity to reward
and strengthen virtue must not be lost
so the lady magnanimously forgot her
annoyance at the loss of her cherished
pitcher Zone of pair and, taking out a
penny said kindly, "Well. Jenny, since
YOU have been snch good girl. and told
The truth so quickly, | shall not even scold
YOU. Here is penny for you"
Alas the next morning the lady, on re-
turning home from market, was met at
the door again by her promising pupil,
who delightedly exclaimed: oh missus
Use broke the other pitcher Won't you
give me another penny"
Further description of that good woman's
state of mind would be supertiuous-Ed

In the use Of this remedy until cured.
1t Contains the great healing ele-
ments Of plants in their essen

Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force
stands next to Consumption and is closely allied To
one to the other is only question of time. 1t IS
therefore singular thing that those afflicted with
it should not make it the object OF their lives to rld
themselves OF it. A single bottle of any remedy
cannot, in the chronic STAGE effect cnIe nor even
bring the system under its influence fully. IN
many such cases the bones and cartilage OF the
nose are eaten away the organs of hearing, of
ing, and OF tasting SO affected as to be rendered
useless, the uvula so elongated and inhamed as to
produce a constant and distressing cough. The
ieturn to health must necessarily be slow under
the most favorable circumstances when SO serl-
ously afflicted but the evidence OF Its great val.
ue daily comes to hand. we become more and more
satisfied that there does not exist case of Catarrh
that cannot be cured by jndcious and pere istent
use of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief in every case obtained from the first dose is
an indication OF what it will do when the 81 stem IS
brought constitutional ly under is influence.
