are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orOuS health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-

composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe muehaess than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inhamed. They
reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
fsom their use in any quantity.

new skin.

A boy named Frank Hanafn, who
had been injured in a saw-mill the
other day was supplied with a new
skin by taking pieces from the arms of
eight or nine other boys. In the &C
cident a very large wound was made
on his back, the surface being one
mass of quivering flesh, though healthy
in appearance. The wound, Of course,
was very sensitive, and the operation
must have been quite painful to him.
Drs. Picot and Maynard and an assis-.
tant performed the operation. Around
the bed were gathered six or eight
Irish boys, from 8 to 10 years of age,
from whose arms had been taken, or
was to be taken, the skin needed to re-
place that which was lost. As each
was called on by the doctor, he came
forward and barred his arm, a small
piece of skin was skillfully cut out
with the lancet and gently placed upon
the raw flesh. About thirty pieces in
all were put on. Several of the boys
gave up more than one piece, and
Folger Picot, the doctors son, contrib
uted eight pieces. A younger brother
of Hanafn's gave nearly as many.
While the operation was going on the
boys joked among themselves on help
ing to make up Hanafn, and bantered
each other on the number Of times
they had submitted to be cut for the
benefit Of their playmate. The boys
were generally very willing to give
the skin required, but after a while
they evidently began to think that
enough was as good as a feast, and
moved out of doors, watching further
operations through the window. It is
thought, however, that enough viii
consent to give skin, SO that Hanafn's
wound will be entirely covered over,
thus fastening his recovery and adding
to his comfort when the wound shall
have healed.-A1s6urn advertiser.

The autumn of a well-spent life is
beautiful as that of the waning year.
The end comes on as softly as the
shadows of the fall steal over sky, and
hills and meadows. It is cloudy and
dark at times, the rains only passing
to gather afresh but, when the air
clears, the rainbow spans the valley,
and dyes the broken fringes of the
storm with prismatic eolors. The good
man does not die; he only passes to a
higher life. It is with him as it is
with nature. We think it dies, but it
is only its outward seeming we see
perish. The spirit of the year, like
blest soul, has done its work-has filed
thousand wales with golden corn !;
weighted the trees and vines with
fruit; glorifed all the earth with flow
ers and beauty; aud now, lingering
for last fond look, its earthly robes
laid of, sheds over the world
farewell smile, and so returns to Cod

PARODY ON HAAILET's SOLILOQUY.
"TO BE OR NOT TO BE-"
BY A PRINTER. .

To Print, or not to Print2 that is the ques-
ton,
Whether It's nobler in the mind to suffer
The loss and disappointments of our ev.ry
effort
To earn an honest livelihood, or quit the busi-
ness,
And end the contest To stop-to add no more
To landlords, poets, and paper-maker's bills,
And every other expense incurred BY printers
Is really contamination to be wished.
To die-to sleep-perchance, to dream;
Ayt there's the rub perhaps like Egypt sons
of old,
Who died insolvent, be denied burial.
Mayhap, the corpse for debt may be detaln'
For British laws permit; and closely held
In durance vile, till the last farthing's paid.
There's the respect that makes us bear the
burden
of weekly cares and tolls without reward;
For who would else endure the loss of time,
OF labor and of cash, the duns Of creditors,
The negligence of debtors and the string
OF unsuccessful artisans suffer,
When be himself might quit them all for ever,
By bare advertisement? Who would make
His pres and pressman groan beneath the
weight
of sheets On sheets-and types weekly com
pos'd
To crafty the gen'ral thirst for news;
Pore over books, and Gull tn instructive page,
Or seek in ev'ry quarter Of the earth,
Collect and publish ev'ry tale that goes,
tAnd paint the manners living as they rise,"
But that the dread of what may follow,
as the taunts of enTious brethren Of the type,
The scoff of enemies, (for who's without them2)
Silent suspicious of well-meaning friends,
Who think we should have struggled longer
for success,
And utter ruin to our fondest hopes,
Puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear
The ills that now we have, than fly to others
We know not, and perhaps, might have
avoided.
Thus is the Printer at a stand, and cannot
Between two sad alternatives determine.

The words and actions of Hayes
show him to be weak man, very
weak man. 1t is doubtful if we ever
before had such poor intellectual tim
Der in the White House. Frank
Pierce was laughed at in his day, but
he had fair average abilities, and
Hawthorne's strong liking for him
showed that there was something in
the man. But Hayes is a dreary,
prosy, Tupperish sort of person, whose
mind seems to be never very clear.
He is a man of feeling, doubtless, but
that does not remedy his intellectual
deficiencies any more than it excuses
the fraud of his title.-M Y. Sun.

Ths rsmpsranss Problem solved.

The patent registering apparatus
with which Richmond bar-rooms are
now frescoed, while no doubt admira-
bly, contrived to answer the purpose
for which it was intended, seems to us
capable of immense improvement. As
arranged at present, it only registers
the total number Of drinks taken at
the bar over which it presides. Thus.
when Jones, Smith and Brown step up
to the captains Office to pay their
mornings devotion to Bacchus, the
gong rings out three drinks, but does
not register the particular beverage
with which each man sOothes his arid
throat. Now If the machine could be
so modified that it would not only re-
cord the exact number Of drinks but
what they consisted of and who took
which, consider what important results
might follow. We should be able to
learn, just by consulting the dial, the
favorite tipple of each customer, the
extent to which he indulges in it, and
its exact cost per diem. The bar
tender, by striking an average Of the
number of toddies which, under aver
age conditions, produces intoxication,
could tell by glancing at the bell-punch
when to refuse anymot his patrons
'just one more glass, and they on
their part could satisfy themselves
with scientific accuracy as to their
proper time to stop imbibing spirits
and return to soda. And not only
this. By instituting police inspec-
tion.of the saloons at different periods
of the day the authorities could ascer-
tain the number of intoxicated persons
in the city, their names and the proba-
Bile amount of cell-room requisite for
their accommodation during the night.
Equally convenient would this ar
rangement be for family purposes,
since by merely obtaining transcript
of the register every wife could see for
herself the precise condition of her
husband, the chances Of his coming
home to supper and the possibility Of
being able to find the key-hole after
his return from the 'lodge." No doubt
there are those who will differ with us
as to the propriety of disseminating
such information as this, but it cannot
be denied that it would tend greatly
both to promote temperance and put a
stop to ingenious but wicked prevari-
cation. There would certainly be much
less tipplng did every topper know that
he couldn't take a toddy without the
knowledge of his wife, mOther-in-law
and the public generally. In fact we
are not sure that the American prac-
tice of drinking at public bar-rOOms
would not be completely broken up by
such an arrangement as we have sug-
gested, particularly if the temperance
people should start a paper for the
daily publication of the record made
by these punches. The idea, at any
rate, is brilliant one, and we are
willing to fOregO any royalty on it for
the sake Of the common good. Who
viii apply it to the Virginia liquOr-tax
machine ?-BGEtimOre Gazette.

How little is known of what is in
the bosom of those around us! We
might explain many a coldness, could
we look into the heart concealed from
us; we should often pity where we
hate, love when we curl the lip with
scorn and indignation. To judge with
out reserve of any human action is
culpable temerity, of all our sins the
most unfeeIing and frequent.
