Ayers Ague Cure,


Gus, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This Is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases OF chiils
and Fever and the eoneomitant disorders. such
o remedy the necessities of the people in M ala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered far tho
cure Of internittents is, that 1t contains no au.
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quipism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it AS before. II
has bean extensively employed during the last
thirty years In the treatment Of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that dhas gained the reputation Of being fnfaL
hbie. Itcan, therefore, be safely recommended
as n sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Agne OF the West, and the Ehilis and Fever Of
the South. II counteraets the masmatic poison
In the blood, and frees the system from its inau-
enee, so that fever aud ague, shakes or chills
once broken up by Il, do not retxrn until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety Of disorders which arise from
the irritation Of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
kheumatiam. Gout, Headache, Kindness,
Toothachc. EarAche. Catarrh. Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenie Affections, Mysteries Pain
In the Bowels, Collie. Paralysis, and derange-
~ the stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have nc speedier remedy than
AgEa's AGuE CCRE. which cures them ail alike,
and protests the system from future attacks. As
preventive. it is Of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as

THE BEST sTIMULANr.

The best possible thing for a man to
do when he feels too weak to carry
anything through is to go to bed and
sleep for week if he can. This is
the only recuperation of brain power,
the only actual recuperation of brain
force, because during the sleep the
brain is in state of rest, in a condi-
ton to receive and appropriate parti-
cles of nutriment from the blood,
which takes the place of those which
have been consumed by Or in previ-
GUS labor, since the very act of think
ing consumes or burns up solid par
ticles. just as every turn of the screw
OF The splendid steamer is the result
of consumption by fire of the fuel in
the furnace. The supply OF the con-
sumed brain substance can only be
had from the nutritive particles in the
blood, which was obtained from the
food eaten previously, and the brain
is so constituted that it can best re-
ceive and appropriate to itself those
nutritiye particles during = state of
rest, of the quiet and stiffness of sleep.
Mere stimulants supply nothing in
themselves, and they goad the brain,
aud force it to greater consumption
of its substance, until that substance
Is so exhausted that there il not power
enough left to receive supply, just
as men are so near death bv starvation
that there is not power enough to
swallow and all is over.

I Among the wonders of nature in
Algeria there is a river of genuine ink.
1t is formed by the junction Of two
streams, one Moving from region of
ferruginous soil and the other drain
ing a peat swamp. The waters of the
former are, of course, strongly i'm
pregnated with iron those of the lat
ter with gallic acid. On meeting, the
acid of the one stream is united with
the iron of the other, and q true ink
is the result. The banks of the united
streams would be. of sill places in the
world, the one for q colony of authors.
Fields of esparto grass, for paper
making, might be sown in the neigh
borhood; the paper-miiis might be
turned by the inky flood, and geese
might be reared to supply quill pens.
The members OF the republic of let
ters would there do nothing all day
long but sit dangling their feet in the
water, and occasionally dipping their
pens-a peaceable crew, except per-
haps when they would plague each
other by reading long extracts from
their unpublished works.-[C Cassell's

A BONANZA ON GOLDEN GRAIN.

Talk about bonanzasl The corn crop
of the United States, this year amounts
to 1,295, 900 600 bushels. At 40 cents
per bushel. a fair average price the
country over, this would be worth
S51S, 100000. On the other hand, the
estimated yield of our gold and silver
mines for the year will be $S5, $50 600.
With the natural tendency of mankind
to talk and think most about glitter
ing aud snowy things, we say and
hear more about the eighty-fve mill
lions of precious metal dug from our
Western mines than the half billion
dollars worth OF corn which the
country raises, consumes and sells,
without thinking it has done anything
noteworthy. Add to the corn the
wheat, cotton, potatoes and fruits pro
duced by the farmers Of the United
States in a single year, and the re-
sources of the gold and silver mines
seem trivial.

TURNING GRAY.


Life's sands are running fast away.
The buoyant step of youth has gone.
The falling hair is turning gray,
And time seems now to hurry on
More heetly Than in days of yore,
Before the heart became its prey.
Before twas saddened to the core.
Before the hair was turning gray.
Yes, turning gray, age comes like snow.
As still. and carves each careworn line;
Its wrinkles on the brow will grow.
Tho hair with silvery strcaks will shine,
The eyes their brightness lose the hand
Grow dry and tremulous and Thin:
For life alas. is quickly spanned,
And death its gate- soon closes IN!
All. turning gray we fain world hide
This sign how long with time we've been
These dcepened wrinkles side by side
Cut by the sorrows we have seen.
For feebly beats the heart as years
More thickly cluster on our head
AS autumn raindrops hang like tears
On some fair flower that's nearly dead,
Like pcrished petals from the flower,
Our hopes and widest joys are Laid,
Born only for day hour.
Sweet gambols by the fancy play ed.
AS age come on we long for rest,
AS saints near shrines will long to pray;
But still we love that time the best
Before the hair was turning gray!

WENDELL PHIELIPs thinks our Pub
lie School system is very faulty. At
the American Social Science meeting
the other day he said: "The fact is
that many young people, graduates of
our Public Schools ,>are not capable of
doing any work for which any one
should pay a dollar. Thousands of
our Public School graduates cannot
write decent letter at fifteen, nor
even read newspaper well. The old
New England system, which made
boy work six months by his fathers
side on the farm or in the workshop
after he had been six months at school,
wasbetter than the present one. From
such a system it was possible to get
such man as Theodore Parker. Now
the Public School hands q child to it's
parents with no means of earning its
bread" He said he was ashamed of
the schools of Boston, when their
work was compared with education
given to Canadian, Scotch or Eng
lish woman of the working classes.
These women knew how to write bet
ter letters, and could spell more cor
rectly than their American prototypes.

The culture and loyalty of the
United States Senate ought to be first
class. During the year ending June
30, lS76, it bought 10 gallons of CO.
logne, 13 gallons of bay rum, Is doz-
ell bottles of Martinique snuG, and 100
pounds OF camphor, all of which was
paid for out of the Treasury. The

, lie not only kept out of politics, bu
he stayed away from the polls. Twic.
in his long life he voted. 7Yfs
He was accustomed to carry his ci.
gars in his side pocket, and when a
well-meaDing friend who had noticed
this habit presented him with beau

clined the gift, observing: SIT will

Mr.. Vanderbilt was a man of few
words. The letters which be dictated
to~his clerks were models of business
terseness. He never made a public
speech. When he was in London his
health was given at a banquet, and
there were loud calls for a speech.
"Gentlemen," said he, 81 have never
made fool of myself in my life, and
l am not going to begin now. Here
Is. a friend of mine who can talk all
day. lie will do my speaking" The
friend was his LAWYER.
An illustration of his fondness for a
social game of cards was brought out
a few years ago at Coroner's inquest
over the bod es of the victims of the
disaster on the Hudson River Rail-
road. The Commodore had been sub
p9naed and appeared in no very good
spirits at being annoyed about mat
ter of which he had no personal
knowledge and could give no evidence

THE MISSING LINK.

From the Manchester Guardian
Some years ago q traveller came back
from Africa with a marvellous story of
= region inhabited by men with tails.
From quite another quarter of the
world the report now reaches US that
the half-ape half-man is no myth. The
Rev. George Brown, who has recent
ly visited the New Britain and New
Ireland group ofislands to the east of
New Guinea, writes that the natives at
Blanche Bay positively affirm the ex-
istence of the race of men with tails At
place called Kalili. When it was
suggested that the supposed men
might be gorillas the blacks sindig-
nantly' resented the imputation upon
their intelligence, and asked whether
apes fought with spears, planted yams
and built houses. A minute descrip-
ton was given Of the curiously " form
ed sayages, and from this it would an
pear that nature has been somewhat
inconsiderate in her design of the ap-
pendage. The tail, the natives saw,
sis hard and inflexible-so much so
that they have to dig hole i'm the sand
before they can sit down, as they die
at once if the appendage is broken,
The people provided with this danger
Gus ornament are, however, represeo-
ted as rather proud of it. ANY child
born without it is destroyed, for fear
it should be ridiculed>when it grows
up 1t is, perhaps. needless to remark
that the missionary never had an op-
portunity of testing the value of this
story. sf iea
