The Preventive and Antidotal Power
Holman silver Pad.

AS preventive of any disease that aaeksthe vitals

impossible to compute the value of discovery
which, scthout quediciRe, may be absolutely relied
upon to prevent the most dangerous maladies

on when the first symptoms appear, the attack will
be avoided. Think OF this, ye martyrs to the pain
full malady.
In short, Holman's Ague and Liver Pad is the
most perfect preventive of diseases affecting the
vital organs that has ever been discovered; and the
great feature OF the treatment, and the one which
renders it precious beyond estimation. has already
been spoken of, but cannot be too much enlarged
upon. II is, that no medicine is taken into the
stomach.
The habit of pouring medicines into the Stomach,
in the hope of curing diseases that depend upon the
Liver, is not only absurd, but wicked.
Endorsed by Ehousands.-It has been en-
dorsed by hundreds of thousands of earnest, in
telligent living witnesses. who will tell you that
Homan's Pad is the cheapest, most effective, the
pleasantest, most convenient surest and most
satisfactory curative and preventive and thorough
liver and system regulator yet discovered.
We do not think it extravagant to say that the
Liver Pad marks the beginning of a new era in
medicine. This happy combination of absorbents,
acting specifically upon the Liver and Stomach,
removes from the system the poisonous principle
which parayzes its action, and restores normal
condition of health in manner that is absolutely
wonderful Time when such a proposition
could only have been accounted for upon the ory
of Divine OF internal nterpostion; but the age Of
witchcraf aft has passed, and men now attribute
results to-logical causes.

Fuchsias in Baskets.

A novel way of growing fuchsias in baskets
is recommended by a writer in the Garden, who
says now is good time to put young
fuchsias into baskets to obtain good display
late in summer and through the autumn
Varieties of slender habit are best adapted for
the purpose, and if the shoots be kept persist
emily stopped, the plants will form dense
bushes, which will cover the side and bottom of
the basket, and when suspended from the roof
of the greenhouse or conservatory. laden with
bloom, will form striking objects The flowers,
indeed, are shown off TO better advantage in
pots and trained in pyramidal section. Good,
rich loan, plenty of water, and timely atten-
ton to stopping the shoots so as to obtain a
dense, pendulous habit at first are all the
plants require to bring them to high state OF
perfection.

The Toad an Insect Destroyer.

At recent meeting of the Potomac Fruit
Growers Association, Prof. J. Bromard read
paper on "The Toad as the Friend of the
Fruit Growers" The following is a conden-
sation of his essay.
The insectiverous birds are partial protec.
ton to the farmer against the great army of
insects which pray upon fruits of his labor.
But these friends are often ruthlessly de-
stroyed, and as consequence, the ravages
of these enemies are greatly increased. It Is
a pregnant fact, that before the wanton and
wholesale destruction of the paririe hens and
quail at the West, the grasshopper plague
was Unknown. Then spare the birds and
save your crops!
Formerly, the toad was considered veno-
nous reptile. but in our day its habits have
been more carefully observed. and its value
to the pomologst and gardener have been
fully established, on account of its propen-
sity for destroying insects, especially those
injurious to vegetation. We should, there
fore, seduously cultivate the friendship and
crave the assistance of the insectiverous rep
tiles (includiug the striped snake) as well as
that of birds. Every tidy housewife detests
other vermin. Two or three domesticated
toads would keep the coast clear of all these,
and would be found more valuable than a
cat, as they are wholly free from trespassing
on the vested rights of man as does the
cat. All that is necessary to secure their CO.
operation, in doors or out, is to provide
them with cool and safe retreats by day, with
convenient access to water, and they will 90
forth to the performance of their noctural
WORK without money and without price,"
In Europe toads are carried 10 the cities and
marketed. They are purchased mainly by
fruit and flower growers, who by their aid
keep in check the multiplication of those in
sect tribes which prey upon their speciali-
ties.
No one can study the anatomy of this rep
tile without being convinced Of its perfect
adaptation to the sp here which it fills in the
economy of nature. Its tongue, which is
capable of great enlongation, is attached to
the anterior portion of the lower jar, its free
end, when the toad is in repose. reaching
down to the borders of the stomach. The
moment it spies its prey Its eyes sparkle, its
toes twitch, and quicker than the eye can
follow the insect is transfxed and conveyed
to the stomach of the captor.

The gulf OF Being at bound to span.
Thou art the link between ourselves and brutes
Lifting the lower to a higher plane;
Thy human face all cavilers refutes,
Who sneer at Darwin as as dreamer vain.
How earnest thou beneath this canvas tent?
Within this cage? behind these iron bars2
Thou, whose young days In tropic lands were
spent,
With strange companions, under foreign stars?
Art thou not lonely? what is life to thee
Thus mewed in prison, innocent of crime
Become a spectacle for crowds to see
AND reckless boys to jeer at all the time?
Hast thou no feelings such as we possess?
Art thou devoid OF any sense of shame?

Rise In thy might, and be no longer tameP'
