A Pleasant Visit.
WAsHrsGroN, d. c., J

ASHlSGToN, u. u, July o. 1919.
Dear Friend 1T is blessed compensation
for the ills OF life that we can live over again
iu the realms of fancy some of tie happy &C.
casions which We have enjoyed. How de-
lightful to the mariner is the green ard fertile
island that looms up in the foaming sea How
refreshing TO the weary traveller is the cool
shade and sparkling water How sweet and
soothing to the tired soldier after the strife of
battle, 10 repose again in the bosom Of his
friends, and eLjoy the society of those whose
hearts beat 10 unison with his in the retreat OF
of u qnirt home But more pleasant to me
was the delightful 4th ; ard embalm as sa-
cred on the tablets OF memory the names Of the
founders of our glorious independence which
we celebrate on the 4th OF July. May the
star OF our prosperity never sink beneath
horizon Of darkness and gloom, but continue
TO increase in supernal light and beauty until
all nations rejoice under its benign influence.
The sweet airs of the Buel family resound-
ing through the grove in harmony with the
warbng notes of the feathered sOngsters and
the dulcet tones of female voices in mrthfu!
glee amidst the rustic innocence of the classic
groves of Rockville, gave the impress OF fairy
land and even now, ever and anon the
graceiuffi cures and hnppy smiles Of those de-
lightful damsels pass as a panorama before my
MUD. And after the days sport was over, in
"Auiipodes' was about to be dispelled by the
the cool evening was enchanted by the soul
stirring strains of the plaintiff ana melodious
guitar as the strings vibrated under the ar
iislic touch of the Colonel The social hours
Of evening thus gided pleasantly by until we
reposed under the influence OF tired natures
sweet resiorer, bnmy sleep, and Aurora With
rosy hands unharred the gates of light when
h. and | had to yield TO the imperative de
mands of duty and ag in HE 10 the dusty
city But as the hour is late will forbear
writing more, and especially MS the remem-
brance oe that happy dav is more pleasing
than cah express Kind regards to all.

The Academy.-The trustees of Rock
se Academy on account Of not having a
forum adjourned on Monday last to meet on
Ffollowing Monday. Though there was no.
Aness acted upon, business In connection
~ the school was discussed. Judge Bouic
fygested that change be made in the num-
Tof free scholars. from eight TO twenty
suggestion did not meet with the approv-
ipf minority of trustees present. This
tter will he placed before the board for its
psideration at the next meeting.
Re cant see what tenable objection there car
10 the change in the number of scholars. II
oud not, if adopted, make any additional
%. Any teacher would as willingly teach
wniy as eight scholars, especially when he
opld get more per capita i,'ona the State do
Nliion equally divided for the payment of the
liiion of each free scholar than he would
5uring the scholastic year from what are
rned pay scholars. Without m4king an ex-
lanaton the reader might conclude that this
loud be a reduction ofthe principals salary.
nsoiher words, that he would teach each
cholar under the change for two and a-half
mes less than was formerly paid for each Of
ne eight free Scholars. Suct would not be
cease, rs there has always been a division
The donation between the principal and as
liant, and as the school has so largely de-
Ased in numbers compared with the past,
epriacipal has only been paid his portion,
remainder being retained in the absence of
IN assistant, for whom there has been no need
ss the few scholars could be taught by the
principal. 0at Of the yearly State donation
Of eight hundred dollars one hundred is re-
served by the trustees for incidental expenses,
the remainder goes 10 the teachers
II is proposed in this suggestion to pay S35
per scholar for twenty of them. So if the
principal were to teach alone the salary would
Increase instead of diminish The increase in
Doth salary and number of scholars would in-
fpire the principal with more 10 ,crest in the
academy to bring it up to the standard which
II once attained. Should the Academy reach
yhis position il would then be lucrative 10 the
principal and the pride of the community
The change would also enable twelve more
poor boys, whose parents are unable to pay
for them, TO acquire an education they could
not at public school, 80 far as our know led ge
prompts us, for at public schools Only the ru-
dimenis are ncnlcated.
If the trustees do not put the suggestion to
n trial OF one year, at any rate, they do that
which is against the interest of the Academy
and the community. We have but little doubt
but that the suggestion will he adopted.

The Nature of q Miracle.

A priest, after vainly trying to explain
the nature of a miracle to a doubling
Irishman, suddenly stopped, kicked him,
and asked, "Did you feel that?" eyes,"
said the Irishman. eff you hadn't" re-
sumed the priest, "it would have been a
miracle" Thus argument sometimes
fails to convince, though every objection
be fully answered. Like stubborn are
the few who yet doubt the efficacy of DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines. Positive
proof of merit has repeatedly been ad-
vanced. Testimonials from prominent cite
izens in nearly every town in North
America have been published, certifying
to the doctors sincerity, honesty, and su-
perior skill. Why longer doubt? If af-
hicted with a cold, cough, bronchitis,
consumption. or any scrofulous disease or
humor, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will effect your speedy cure. Give
no heed to what some unsuccessful ply
sician, or healthy and "skeptical" neigh
Dor may say. Decide for yourself. j. A.
Alexander, NJ. D., Of Broadway, Va,
writes that he has thoroughly tested DIR.
Pierce's Family Medicines in an extern
sive practice, and has found them to
possess superior merit, and to do all
that was claimed for them. He further
says that copy of the Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser should be in
every house.

GENTs-My daughter was taken on tho 25th day
of Juno, 1868, with what was supposed to be Acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no
success. In March, following, pieces Of bone be
gan to work out Of the right arm, and continued
to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the
shoulder joint came out. Many pieces Of bone
came out Of the right foot and leg. The case was
then pronounced one Of White Swelling After
having been confined about six years TO her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, was induced to
try DR.. Pemberton's Compound Extract of Stillin-
gia and was so yell satisfied with Its effects that
have continued the use of 1. until the present.
My daughter was confined 70 her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over with
out help. She now sits up all day, and sews most
Cf her time-has walked across the room. Her
general health Is now good and believe she will,
as her limbs gain strength, walk well. attribute
her recovery with the blessing of God, to the use

Symptoms of a DiseasedLiver.

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 coslive, 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 men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
i 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 lie 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.

AGUE AND FEVER.

DIR. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better

disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.

a simple purgative, they are uncqualed.
