sr Of short or lang standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bes~
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases singh dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
fectrestoration Of tho general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two at err the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
longstanding cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three four doses Of the Tonic. sine lie dose of

his tallow dip he was intently studying

out the light and demanded to know

answered: THE good angel of The

He Wanted the Doctor.

One night last week jolly old German
farmer rode to Chestnut Hill from White
marsh after physician for his wife, who
was very sick. He dismounted from his
horse in front of saloon, just as the
boys inside had began to make merry
over the first key of beer. lie approach
ed and looked cautiously around the
scene, The foaming glasses were held
high apove the heads OF the reveler, as
one of the number pronounced toast
appropriate to the occasion.
The silent watcher licked his lips and
wished his errand had been one not re
curing so much dispatch. He was turn,
ing reluctantly away, when the crowd
saw him.
Hallo!' they shouted, there's Fritz.

to the bar all the time protesting.

But he didn't go. As one glass after
another was forced upon him by the
reckless crowd, the object Of his errand
was aoated further and further from
his vision, until it was carried out OF
his mind altogether and his voice was
unting.ed with anxiety, joifed in the
drinking songs, and rose above all 9th
ers
Thus he was found by his son, late that
night. The boy grasped him by the
sleeve and said:
Fader come home.'
Fritz turned, and at the sight of his boy
great fear arose in his mind, swept
away the fumes of the beer and brought
him to u sense of the situation. In an
awe. struck tone he asked:
"Yawcub, how you was come heres.

A Question of Endurance.

Col. A. X. Mcclure, of the Phila-
delphia Tlmes-who is one of the
most astute political observers in
the country-writing to his paper
from Washington, gives it as his
deliberate opinion that Hayes "eyes
is sot," so far as policies are con-
cerned, and that all attempts TO
move him from the position he has
taken in regard to them will be time
and labor expended in vain. He
feels perfectly assured that the
President dissatisfied with,himself,"
he believes himself to be in the
right path, and will pursue it to the
end. whether such things can be
since the prophets, apostles and
miracles have passed away" he
says, ''is a problem that the Presi
dent has doubtless considered to
his own content, and he will quietly
smile and stick fast when he is on
the issue, let things smash as they
may about him. 1t is clear that Pres
ident and the Republicans in Con
gress never were so widely and so
hopelessly estranged as they are to-
day, AMI they who talk of reconcile
alton Or the restoration of friendly
relations Between them, waste their
words on absolute Impossibilities.
There will be peace between these
two contending forces when one or
the other can no longer resist, but
peace seems more likely to come by
the overthrow of both"
