Written For The True Northerner.
VIOLETS.

Let's write verse on vlolets,
And addertongues, the yellow pets
My dream OF childhood ne'er forgoes;
And let the blue drops soft repose
In mossy bank their purple jets.
But there's flower that lightly frets,
The fiattered one the fountain vets
Put in the jealous monthly rose,-
Let's write verse.
And now to crown the garland sets,
Sift mellow light in gauzy nets
Ger tn emerald bank where beauty glows,
And there let Laurah's eyes unclose,
In tender hues. their violets
Let's write a verse.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax the head is troubled with
pain. accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss Of mem
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought TO have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

What Brother Heernlans Calls

Plain Talk for Bro Fowler.
Bro. ueermans, in the Newhern
PEOPLE Of last Thursday, says this:
He Fowler still insi.ls that we are
underwriting TO create the Impression
that the readjustrfs are Oppnsed To n
convention, and quotes something W.
said about scrubs several weeks ago.
We certainly sa'd what lie imputrs To
us bur still the readjusters. sn-caIled.
created The impression Themselves
We clearly demonstrated that last
week hv eXtract4 from papers recog
niZpd as T~eadiustiug organs. Now. if
there il a I~eadjusIimg paper in this dis
trict that favored 81 convention before
the Abingdon court we have failed to
see il. and We call upon Bro Fowler
Ia produce one line from such paper
II he cannot, he must yield the point.
No a tit Of it, Bro. Heermans !!
You asserted tie Readiusters were
trying to destroy the Conservative
party, and the burden of proof is
on you, not on us. You asserted
IN THE SAME ARTICLE that at the
"informal talk" at Abingdon, Bro.
Fowler had hctn converted to the
support Of the party, and if this is
not a glazing Inconsistency in you
tho from which you now fail
wholly to cXtricate yOurself-it is
the most COMPOUNDED aradCx of
the day. You tail to even attempt
an answer to it. Try it /; will you ?
You must bot dodge this ISSUE
You say the Rcadjnsters r trying
to break mp the party by boiling
and defying its organization, and
yon say in the same article these
same Readjnsters had Il meeting at
Abingdon and therein resolved to
favor the organization of the party
by supporting a convention OF The
party. Answer this with your
usual frankness, but don't dodge it
as you do the "something We said
aLout scrubs"
