FORTY YEARS BEFORE THE PUBLIC.
DIR. G. MCLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top OF
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are coStive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
There isgenerally considerable loss
ofmemory,ac accompanied with apain-
full sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every REM
edy. Several of the above symp-
.oms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them ex-
listed, vet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER TO
have been extensively deranged.

growled. | knowed something must
be up, or he wouldn't have acted so
and crept up and peeked through the
shutters. There was a feller a-crackini
the eribsas cool as a cucumber"
"'Ah my boy, I've got you,' says
l, as 1 slipped in through the door,
which he had left unfastened ; but /
had crowed before l was out of the
woods, for the chap heard me comm
and quick as lightning his lantern was
out, and l felt a blow on my head that
knocked me nearly sensible, and the
fellow rushed past me into the street.
Goodbye says l to myself, 4 don't t
expect you'll wait for me to come out
and catch you;' but here again I was
mistaken, for the feller was waitin' for
me, though much against his will
Banjo had quietly taken a grip in the
slack of the gentleman's trousers, and
then seated himself on the curbstone.
1t warn't no use for the feller to swear
and kick; Banjo held on like grim
death until come up and relieved
him.
"Its nearly time Banjo come in
from his rounds. Oh here he IS
How are you, sergeant He amt
really a sergeant, you know" whisper
ed the officer, "but it kind of hatters
him to call him one"
Banjo wagged his stump of tail at
the officer, and walked gravely over to
inspect the visitor. He gave him a
cold, scrutinizing glance out of a pair
of clear, brown eyes, and apparently
took a few mental notes for future re
ference then he went over to the off
Ger for a few minutes conversation.
Banjo is not a large dog I; he is of a
square and rugged build, covered with
a rough brown coat of hair slightly
tinged with gray for he is growing to
be quite a veteran-he has no ears or
tail to speak of, and has shrewd, in
quisitive, but strictly honest air. He
wore a new silver collar, and seemed a
little vain of this ornament.
"That collar" said the officer, "was
bought for him yesterday, when we got
a license for him. This is the first day
he has worn it. Well, Banjo, l sup
pose you want to turn inf you would
only take pipe, my boy, it would rest
you ever so much-but we never could
learn him to smoke"
Banjo nodded, and walked sedately
off to bed.

new material. Do you feel able to g
over what I have done?"
Clearly she explained every detail
Of the business in the four weeks thai
had passed since the accident, and
modestly showed him the memoranda
she had kept Of every business trans
action.
"Nellie," he said, when she finished
"if Heaven denied me a son, it has
given me a good daughter. With you
to assist me, ] can still carry on my
factory though lie crippled here"
There was buzz Of comment in the
village when Miss Ellen Somerville as
sumed the charge of the frame factory
her father had owned so long. Some
of the workmen refused to be ordered
about" by girl, and were promptly
discharged; but the majority worked
better under the stimulus of Nellie's
judicious praise. People who sneered
at masculine women" were forced to
confess that Nellie was as womanly, if
not as helpless, as the finest lady Of
them all. Patrons of the factory, who
prophecied its utter ruin were forced to
confess that their orders were filed as
promptly and as well as ever before.
And yet in the counting-house only a
woman controlled the entire business,
kept the books, answered the letters
and guided every detail Of the vast es-
tablishment.
Three years had passed since Nellie
became the head of the business, when
Stephen Holton wooed her for his wife.
He had saved from his salary sufficient
to make pleasant home, and Nellie
knew he loved her faithfully, as she
had long loved him. So with her
happy consent he sought her father to
ask for his child.
"From all the world" John Somer-
vile said, Il could not have chosen a
man to whom I would so gladly give
my Nellie. 1t will comfort me, in the
years that may be left Of my life, to
know my brave girl has protector
when I am gone. But, Stephen, there
is one wish very near my heart that
you can crafty"
"Name it, sir."
81 shall on your marriage day, deed
to you the factory and business, subject
only to a moderate life income for
yourself and wife. But 1 would like
to keep the old name there. An act Of
the legislature will give you the right
to be Stephen Somerville, and Somer-
vile & Son may still live in the old
firms place"
So when Nellie married, some months
later, she became the wife of Stephen
Holton Somerville. Gradually she
found her duties in her new home
drawing little by little from an active
place in the factory; and, proud of her
husband, she gladly resigned her au-
thority to him, finding scope for her
energies in the duties around her, till
one sunny morning, walking over to
her fathers she put into his arms a
tiny, growing babe, and said, with glad
tears -
"My business cares are over, papa.
Henceforth I resign in favor of "Somer-
vile & Son."

Sixth precinct station house did come
pretty hard on some of the men who
had been there for years, and had kind

said an old policeman to New York
World reporter, "but none of 'em took
it so much to heart as Banjo"
"BanioW exclaimed the visitor
"what curious name for an officer. .
swell, as to the name, it is a little
curious, amt it? But as to Banjo's
bein' an officer, you see he amt just on
the reg'lar force, although we calls him
a sergeant, still it would be sayin' a
leetle too much to say he was police
man."
"And if he is not a policeman, pray
what is he ?"
"He's dog, sir"
"A dog Y
eyes, sir, and he's been on the force
morn dozen year. He used to be
down at the Sixth, you know, and
when that precinct was abolished and
part of the men sent to the Fourth and
part to the Fourteenth, l tell you there
was row as to where Banjo should
go. But Banjo decided not to go any
where. Some of the men said that he
didn't want to offend any of his old
friends by goin' with either party, but
I don't believe that; I think it was
love for the old place. Anyhow, there
on the steps Of the Sixth, Banjo stayed,
and nothin' could get him away. I
used to 60 by there every evenin' on
my way to the Fourteenth, and l was
sure to see him lyin' on the steps of the
station house. He always appeared
glad to see me, and would walk up
town with me as far as Canal street,
and then he would turn round and be
off like a shot. This thing went on for
nearly month, and Banjo began to
look sad and down-hearted like, and 1
couldn't stand it no longer, so one
evening l coaxed him up to me, and
takin' him into my arms | brought him
howlin', sir, and mad as blazes when
he saw he was above Canal street-up

A small roly-poly of a dog, with
black and white spots, and with lazy
swagger in his walk, stepped into the
room.

severely, "who asked you to come in ?
That's not Banjo" explained the off
Ger; "he must be off on patrol duty.
That's Captain Toby. We calls i'm

How Rrdn MrN BEGIN LIFE


1t must be important to remember OF
it would not be so seriously asserted,
that Cornelius Vanderbilt began his
life with an old pirogue, running be
tween Staten Island and New York
city, carrying garden stuff to the mar
ket. With $4,000 or $4,000 raised
from this source, he entered upon stead
lily increasing enterprises, until he had
amassed the enormous sum Of $50, ,000,-
900 to sS0,00O,00O.
A. 7. Stewart first bought few
laees at auction, and opened his way to
success in a dingy little shop on Broad
way, near the site of the wholesale es-
tablishment. Years of rigid honesty,
shrewd management, and wisdom in
things both great and small, made him
the monumental merchant Of the nine
teenth century.
Daniel Drew, in his early life, was a
cattle driver at the munifcent sum of
seventy-fve cents a day, but drove
himself into an estate valued at from
$25, 100000 to s3OOOO,OOO, and then
lost it.
George Law, at As years of age, was
a common day laborer on the docks,
and at present counts his fortune at
something like $10,000,000.
Robert L. and Alexander Stuart,
the sugar refners, in their boyhood,
sold molasses candy which their Wild
owed mother had made, at cent a
stick, and to-day they are worth pro-
baby $5,OOO,O00 or $4,000, 900 apiece.
Marshall o. Roberts is the possessor
of S4,OO0,0G0 or $5,OOO,O0O; and yet
until he was twenty-five he did not
have 800 he could call his own.
H. B. Clafflin, the eminent dry goods
merchant, worth, it is estimated, S10,-
100000, $15,0O0,0OO, or $2O,OOO,O0O
commenced the world with nothing
but energy, determination, and hope.

THE FARMERS FIREsIDE.

Around the fire, one wintry night
IT,. farmers rosy children sat;
The fagot lent its blazing light
And mirth went round, and harmless chat
When, bark a gentle hand they hear
Low tapping at the bolted door,
And thus to gain their willing ear,
A feeble voice was heard implore;
''Cold blows the blast across the moor,
The sleet drives kissing in the wind;
Yon toilsome mountain lies before,
A dreary treeless waste behind.
t9Iy eyes are dim and weak with age;
No road, no path can descry;
And these poor rags i'll stand the rage
Of such keen inclement sky.
$50 faint am, these tottering feet
No more my palsied frame can bear;
Ny freezing heart forgets to beat
And drifting SHOWS my tomb prepare.
"Open your hospitable door,
And shield me from the biting blast;
Cold, cold it blows across the moor,
The weary moor that have passed..
With hasty steps the farmer ran,
And close beside the fire they place
The poor half-frozen beggar man,
With shaking limbs and pale-blue face.
The little children focking came,
And chafed his frozen hands in theirs;
And busily the good old dame.
A comfortable mess prepares.
Their kindness cheered his dropping soul,
And slowly down his wrinkled cheek
The big round tear was seen to roll,
And told the thanks he could not speak.
The children then began to sigh,
And all their merry chat was o'er;
And yet they felt, they know not why,
More glad than they had done before.

A singular accident happened in one
of the mills in Oswego, New York, a
few days ago. A workman, who wears
a very long beard, was at work over a
shaft, which caught his beard and
wound it round and round in twink
ling. Another workman thrust heavy
stick into the cogs, stopping the shaft,
else the mans neck would inevitably
have been broken.

The Tablet goes rough shod for John
Bull on account of the position pro-
posed to be taken by him in the East
ern war. The editor says:
His ideas of morality, as far as he
recognizes the word at all, are simply
geographical They are bounded, not
BY the precepts Of the Gospel, but BY
the degrees of latitude and longitude.
Now, as in the days of Moore, "a rebel
at Cork is a patriot at Madrid Eng
land impudently appropriated Gibral-
ter, though she threatened war when
France subdued Algeria. She stole
Malta by violation of the national
faith, while she was forming a coalition
against Napoleon for insisting that
Frenchmen were the best Judges of
how they should be governed. But in
few instances has English inconsistency
been more glaringly exhibited than at
the present moment, when she de-
nounces, with the vehemence of indig-
nation, the policy of Russia for kick
ing against the Turkish barriers, in
order to find a seaboard necessary to
her existence as a commercial power,
while British soldiers are 'annexing,
to use diplomatic phrase, the Repub-
lie of Transvaal, in Southern Africa.
It is wrong on the part of Russia to
drill into subserviency, when they can
not govern themselves or anybody else,
the Mohammedan barbarians of Asia
Minor, and right on the part of the
English to forcibly subdue, without
any other cause than that of loot and
plumber, the industrious, plodding and
civilized Dutch Doors of Southern
Africa"

Fight your own battles. Ask no ia
vors of any one and you'll succeed
FIVE thousand times better than any one
who is always beseeching some ones
patronage. No one will ever help you
as you help yourself, because no one
will be so heartily interested in your
affairs. Men who win love do their
own wooing. Whether you work for
fame, for love, for money, OF for any
thing else, work with your hands, heart
and brain. Say 81 willw and some
day you will conquer. Never let any
man have it to say: "I have dragged
you up-I have made you what you
are"
After all, let man take what pains
he can to hush it down, human soul
is an awful, ghostly, unquiet possession
for bad man to have. Who knows
the metes and bounds Of it? Who
knows all its awful perhapses-those
shudderings and tremblings, which it
can no more live down that it can out
live its own eternity?

SPOILED HIS PIETY.-Horace Gree
ley used to affirm that newspaper men
were the most patient people, as class,
on earth and he was not far from
right, though there are times when pa
tience ceases to be a virtue with the
most enduring. Nearly everybody in
Michigan knows Burr, who used to
start a newspaper about once a month
the year round, generally bringing
them out in Grand Rapids, but some
times making a flying trip to other
points. Burr could stand to be told
that he lied about circulation, was on
the fence as politician, and that he
didn't know anything about publish
ing a paper and when men threatened
to sue or thrash him, he only smiled a
sad smile and wished that mankind
wouldn't get excited. During a reli-
gious revival in Grand Rapids, Burr
was converted, and it frequently hap
pened that religious people called at
his Office to talk with him. One day
a minister came IN, and, after talking
awhile, he proposed prayer. He was
in the act of kneeling, when his foot
struck one of the outside forms, which
was leaning against a leg of the impos-
ing stone, ready to be lifted up, and
over it went, making half bushel of
pi. Burr looked at the ruin wrought,
and then commenced taking off his coat
saying;
"Tm trying to be a Christian, and set
a good example, but damn my but
tons if I can't lick you in just two min
utes."
The minister backed down stairs in
no time, dodging the mallet on the
way, and Burr backslid at once, and
went down for a pint of stimulants.
