Romance Of Poor Young Nan.
lssai ~ % sv
We are willing to bet three cents
that three men out Of four who read
it will doubt it. But it is positively
true. 1t shows that all the virtue in
the world isn't in the. graveyard yet
About three months ago a young |
Frenchmen entered q Burlington |
Wholesale store, and accosted the pro-
priet0r. He said he was q marble |
sculptor, seeking work: He could not |
lind 1t here. and wanted to be directed |
to some other town. He had no money |
and no friends. The gentleman ad.
vised him to go to Mount Pleasant,
where there are marble works, which |
might have work for him. "How |
much will it cost :" said the young
man. t.About seventy.five cents"
said the merchant. GLOW far is it! 7"
"Twenty.eight miles, ''Oh, I can
walk that far, and so don't need any
money" The merchant, however
said there was no necessity for his
walking, and gave him seventy.five
cents to pay his fare. The same day
the young man came back, saying that
he had found 4 job in Burlington, but
would like. to use the money to buy a
chisel that he needed. Certainly said
the merchant, use it. The young man
went away, and the merchant thought
no more of it. After many days the
Frenchman came back to pay the six
bits. He had been at work, had receiv-
ed some wages, and wanted to pay his
debt The knowledge that he had as.
sisted a worthy man gave the mer.
chant much moro pleasure than a
hundred fold the little amount Of
money could have done. The conscien.
|tious honesty of the young stranger
shows him to be most worthy man.
The merchant does not even know his
name or where lie is working. His
conduct is an instance of honest prin-
|ciple which deserves to be put on rec
ord. And we record it here.

C0wardly Assaults.
When a candidate for high office is
so we'll liked and so popular with the masses
as to make his defeat difficult in fair and
honorable fight, mean and cowardly men are
not wanting who delight in manufacturing
lies and slandering his good name. There are
also those whose selfishness prompt them to
prostitute their honor, pervert truth, and ig-
more right, for the sake OF injuring a competi-
and with whose business sagacity they have
not the talent to successfully compete in an
honorable way. These thoughts are suggest
ed by the mean, cowardly attacks made upon
me, and my medicines, by those who imagine
their pecuniary prospects injured by the great
popularity which my standard medicines have
acquired, and the continued growth OF my
professional practice. Narrow-minded prac-
titioners OF medicine, and manufacturers oil
preparations which do not possess sufficient
merit to successfully compete tor popular ia.
vor, have resorted to such cowardly strategy
as to publish all sorts OF ridiculous reports
Iabout the composition of my medicines. AL.
MANAGES, "Receipt Books, }" and other pamph.
lets, are issued and scattered broadcast owe,
the land, wherein these contemplate knavei
publish pretended analyses Of my medicines
and receipts for making them. Some ofthest
> publications are given Understanding names
pretend to be issued by respectable men O
ieducation and position, for the good of tn
people-the more completely to blind thereadel

Popular Health Almanac" is the high-sound
ing name OF one Of these publications, which
leontaips bogus receipts. without grain Q
truth in them. Not less devoid of truth ar
those which have been published by one Dr.
: L., Of Detroit, in the Michigan Farmer, AM
by other manufacturers of medicines, in sew
7 |eral so-called journals OF Pharmacy. The,
!. are all prompted by jealousy and utterly al
in accomplishing the object of their authors
1 tor, Notwithstanding their free circulation
, my medicines continue to sell more largel
than any others manufactured in this cou,i
j.. try, and are constantly increasing in sale des
r lpte the base lies concocted and circulated b.
: such knaves. The people find that thes
I medicines possess genuine merit, accomplis

are not the vile, poisonous nostrums whic
. jealous, narrow minded ply sicians and snea
ing compounders Of competing medicines req
resent them to be. Among the large numbe
7 OF pretended analyses published, it is signi
j ficant fact that no two have been at all alike
4 conclusively proving the dishonesty Of thei
: authors. Il is enough for the people to kno,
that while thousands, yes, may truthful

have been cured, no one has ever received il
;. jury from their use.
