Something Genuine.

Under this caption the editor wishes TO say
a few words to his many readers on the sub
iect Of a medicine for rheumatism, called
''Durang's Rheumatic Remedy" advertised in
this paper. II has been before a critisizing
public for five years, during which period
thousands upon thousands have used il with
unprecedented success. While east a few
months ago, We called at the establishment in
Washington City where it is manufactured,
and convinced ourselves that this Remedy
more than any other, deserves to be patron
lied, as it is, by hundreds of the leading ply
sicians in the land. Many OF the eminent
doctors in Washington City prescribe il regu-
larry an1ia'e 7uch results as come from no
other medica. The proprietors of this great
Remedy, Helphenstine Il Bentley, are edu-
Gated chemists as well as elegant gentlemen,
and any business you may have with them will
meet with promptness. In conclusion, We
would advise all who are Suffering with rheu-
matism TO give this medicin-~s trial and azure
is almost certain 10 follow. I. is taken inter
nally and does its work quickly nd thorough
ly, leaving the system strong healthy.

Buchu in various forms has for many wears
been one Of the chief articles in the Nateria
Medica for the treatment Of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting the
urinary, digestive, and circulatory organs. The
difficulty that was long experienced in obtain
ing a preparation of this valuable drug that
could always be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led 10 the intro
duction Of Helmbold's Extract of Buchu,
which for the last quarter Of a century has
been extensively used both by physicians and
in house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like every
other thing, has been extensively initiated, and
those who have use for il will do wei! Ia STE
that they obtain the genuine "iielmhOld
Buchu," the only pure and reliable preparation.

Miscellany.
m should Die Tonight.

II should die tonight,
Ny friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid 1t in its resting place,
And deem that death had left It almost fair;
And laying snow-white flowers against my hair,
Would smooth It down with fearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress-
Poor hands, so empty and so cold tonight.
II I should die tonight,
My friends would cali to mind with loving thought
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought,
Some gentle words the frozen lips have said;
Errands on which the willing feet had sped.
The memory Of my selhshness and pride,
My hasty words, would all be put aside,
And so 1 should be loved and mourned tonight.
II should die tonight,
Zen hearts estranged would turn once more to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully
The eyes that chill me with ayerted glance
Would look upon me as Of yore, perchance,
And soften in the old, familiar way
For who would war with dumb, unconscious clay 2
So might rest, forgiven Of ALL tonight.
Oh friends pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead, cold brow.
The way is lonely, let me feel them now.
Think gently Of me; am travel-worn;
Ny falteriug feet are pierced with many thorn.
Forgive, oh hearts estrAngedl forgive plead
when dreamless rest is mine shall not need
The tenderness for which long tonight.
