Friendship.

The point that we wish to make is,
that we should not expect to have the
sentiments and actions of our friends
and companions always equally salts
factory to us; and after we have once
made up our minds that, on the whole,
we like certain person; that we like
certain or all of his ways, opinions,
tastes, qualities-whatever it is that
draws us to him, it is rather foolish to
be rejudging hun too severely every
five days on a new issue. After a
man is once a member of the National
Academy he should not be subject to
the annual weighing in the balance Of
the Academy's Hanging Committee.
You may say that, after we have
known a man well for thirty years
and that is long lease for a friend
ship in this mutable world it is idle
to talk ABOUT its being possible for
him to surprise or disappoint us. But
did you ever hear of "the old man's
disease -avarice Do you suppose
that such an affliction like that comes
to the surface late in life, if the seeds
have not been deep in the soil all the
time? But that is hard ana cruel
question. Let us rather speak of a
more pleasing and no less surprising
development, There was an OLD wo-
man about whom we once wrote, to
prove by an example that it is the
disagreeable young folk who make
the disagreeable old men and women,
and that sweet girls and boys need
no, he troubled by the nightmare of a
sour and grabbed old age. The wo-
man we wrote about had lived out and
down three husbands, and was about
as unpleasant an old gossip as you
might meet in days journey yet
the traits of her old age were only traits
of her youth, stripped Of whatever
charm youth must have lent her. But
presently, after we had held up this
aged person as a warning and a con-
ISOLATION, what does she do but fall in
to her second childhood, and develop
one of the sweetest and gentlest dis.
positions with which mortal ever
blessed his or her neighbor. all she
asked was her doll and her prayer,
book. aud all went merry as a marriage
bell. No; we never know our friends.
And, ,curiousiy enough, while we are
going Oh with our discoveries con-
corning them, they are making the
same observations. upon us, and are
having the same surprises and disap
pointments.- [The Old Cabinet; Serb.

A Poets Consistency.
A MADRIGAL: BY JOHN G. SAKE


praise is ever sweet to hear
In simple candor ] confess it;
And then, own, It's doubly dear,
When loving lips, like yours, express it
And yet, when calmly reflect
How much is due to Cupid's blindness,
Forgive me, DEAR if suspect
Your praises only prove your kindness.
Whatever virtues may boast,
(And slight indeed is my profession,)
The one you praise and prize the most
May be the least in my possession.
You tell me, sweet you love-revere
\ mind so steady and answering;
But never Poet yet, / fear
Of such applause was quite deserving.
The Poets constancy, at best,
Is like the Bees -voluptuous rover;
Still constant to her honey-quest,
Though found in lily, rose, or clover.
And do thus my faith impeach
As one untrue to Loves vocation
A moments patience-l beseech-
And you shall hear the explanation
Suppose the Bee-so prone to stray,
AS Fancy bids, from bower to bower,
Should chance to find, some lucky day,
A wondrous honey-bearing flower;
Which, though she slipped, and came again
AS often as the day was sunny
Quite unexhausted should remain,
An ever-fowing fount of honey.
Such praise as she might fifty claim,
If meier again she proved rover,
So much (the cases are the same)
Is due your fond and faithful lover
--Scsibner for February.

SO nearly perfect are the recipes of these
wonderful pain-soothng and healing Centanr
Liniments. that We can confidently say they
will alleviate amy pain arising from flesh,
bone Or muscle arrangements We do not
pretend that they will mend q broken leg or
extcrnimatc bOi.s. but even in such cases
they will reduce the inflammation and stop the
pain. Nor can we guarantee the proper re-
suits where the body is poisoned by whiskey.
Temperance is as necessary to proper physi-
cal, az mental condition.
The White CcntaIIr EininrEt is par
ticularly adapted to all cases of rheumatism,
Lumbago, Neuralgia Erysipelas, Itch, Sprains,
Chllbrains, Cuts, Bruises, Stings, Poisops
Scalds, Sciatica, Weak Back, Pains in the side,
Wounds, Weeping Sinews, Burns, Frosted
Feet, Palsy Ear-ache, Tooth ache, Head ache
Ulcers. Old Soares, BROKEN Breasts, Sore Nip
ples Sore Throat Group. Diptheria, etc. The
ment will cure all of them it will benefit. 1t
will extract the poison from bites and stings,
and will cure burns and scalds without q scar.
The following is but q sample of thousand
similar testimonials
"ANTIoCH, ILL. Dec. /, 1874.
My wife has, for a ,ong time, been terrible
sufferer from rheumatism. She has tried
many physicians and many remedies. The on
ly thing which has given her relief is Centaur
Liniment. l am rejoced to say this has cured
her.
w. II. RING. Postmaster"
1t is an indisputable fact that the Centaur
Llnments are performing cures never before
effected by any preparation in existence
like Chronic rheumatism of thirty years stand
ing. Strengthening fingers and joints which had
been stiff for six years, taking the soreness
from bur- 8, &c,
One dollar, or even fifty cents, invested in
Centaur Liniment will be within reach when
an accident occurs, and will do more good than
any amount of money paid for medical attend
ance. When physicians are called they fire.
quently use this Liniment, and of course
charge several prices for it.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh
of the animal creation. Its effect upon stverc
cases of SPAWN. Sweeny, Wind-Gall, Big Head
and Poll-Evll are little less than marvellous.
Messrs. J Mcclure Il Co., Druggists, cor.
Elm and Front Sts., Cincinnati, o., says
in our neighborhood number of team
sters are using the Centaur Liniment. They
pronounce it superior to anything they have
ever used. We sell as high as four to five doz.
en- bottles per month to owners of horses and
mules.
We have volumes of testimonials describing
cures of Sprains. Kick, Calls, Poll-Evil. Big
| Head, and even Founders, which are little lesa
than marvels. No owner of an animal can af-
| ford to be without bottle OF Centaur LiIi-
ment, which any day may prove worth twenty

Cross AND SICKLY CHILDREN can
be made healthy and strong by regu-
l&ung their stomachs and bowels with
Casloria. 1t is more effective than
Castor Oil and'is as pleasant to take
as honey. For wind colo, sour stom-
ach, worms and costiveness, there is
nothing in existence equal to Castorla.
Why WILL YOU SUFFER from rheu-
ma,ism. sprains, stuff joints, swellings,
burns, scalds or weak back, when the
Cenlaur Liniment affords certain re,

Our National Humiliation.

There has never been a more terrible
indictment against public corruption in
this or any other country than that utter
ed by George F. Hoar, a Republican mem
Der Of Congress, in the close Of his speech
on the Belknap impeachment
"My own life has been brief and in
significant one, extending little beyond
the duration Of single term Of senatorial
Office, but in that brief period have seen
FIVE judges Of high court of the United
States driven from Office by threats Of im-
parchment for corruption or maladminis-
tration. l have heard the taunt from
friendliest lips, that when the United States
presented herself in the East to take part
with the civilized world in generous COM
petition in the arts Of life, the only product
Of her institutions in which she surpassed
all others beyond question was her cor
ruption. ! have seen in the State in the
Union foremost in power and wealth four
judges of her courts impeached for cor
ruption, and the political administration
of her chief city become disgrace and
by-word throughout the world. have
seen the chairman of the committee on
military affairs in the House, now dis
tinguished member of this court, rise in
his place and demand the expulsion Of
four qf his associates for making sale of
their official privilege Of selecting the
youths to be educated at our great military
school. When the greatest railroad Of the
world, binding together the continent and
uniting the two great seas which wash
our shores, was finished, | have seen
our national triumph and exalting turn
ed to bitterness and shame by the unan-
imous reports Of three committees Of
Congress, two Of the House, and one
here, that every step Of that mighty
enterprise had been taken in fraud.--
| have heard in highest places the shame
less doctrine avowed by men grown old
in public Office that the true vay BY which
power should be gained in the republic is
to bribe the people with the Offices created
for their service, and the true end Of which
It should be used when gained is the pro-
motion of selfish ambition and the gratiti-
cation Of personal revenge. I have heard
that suspicion haunss the footsteps Of The
trusted companions Of the President.
These things have passed into history
This is Republican testimony to the
enormous official demoralization which
has occurred since the party to which the
speaker belongs camo into power. Such
things vera Of tbe rardst possible oecar-
renee before that period. Would not the
