Consistency thou art a Jewel. !,

Some have refused to use "put up'' medi-
cines, simply because they do not know just
how they are made. Do you refuse to accept
the deductions and conclusions of the astrono-
mer simply because you are unacquainted with
his methods of calculation? You do not refuse
to eat, and yet the exact process by which the
food is assimilated into the structure of the
body is unknown. Are you always able to
translate the latin prescriptions obtained from
your family physician, and understand the eff
feet of each remedy named, and the chemical
change each may undergo when combined
with another? Then why let such groundless
objections debar you from using remedy that
has cured your neighbor? Take DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Thousands bear
testimony that it has speedily and permanent
ly cured them of coughs, colds, incipient con-
sumption, and almost all forms of scrofulous
diseases. Can you doubt that it is pure, pa
tent and valuable medicine? Are the parties
whose names are published false witnesses?

Book, given away by druggists.

SKIN DISEASE.
A Remarkable Letter from j. A. Tucker,
Esq, manufacturer of the Bay
State SuperphOsphatc.

Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Gentlemen,-I think
have paid for medicines and medical treatment
during the last twenty years all of three thousand
dollars, without receiving any permanent relief.
Last May while taking Turkish bath at II Bea-
con St., young man employed there by the name
of VIM. Corbett induced me to allow him to apply a
preparation that he had upon me, assuring me that
it was perfectly harmless and for certain consider
alton he would cure me within thirty days from the
time he commenced In case he failed to do so |
was to pay him nothing. l consented and he applied
it nearly every day for five weeks when the disease
entirely disappeared 1 very cheerfully paid him
the amount agreed upon, and then asked him what
this remedy was and he replied that it other
than CUTICURA.
Since that time have had no trouble from this
disease and have not had such good health in twenty
years as have had during the last six months
have since my recovery bought CUTIcURA and
given it to friends suffering with skin diseases and
in every instance it has cured them believe it to
be the greatest discovery of the present century.

the Potomac, at Albany, June 10, 1871
From the lily of love that uncloses
In the glow of festival kiss,
On the wind that is heavy with roses
And shrill with the bugles OF bliss,
Let it float DER the mystical ocean
That breaks on the kingdom of night
Our oath of eternal devotion
To the heroes who died for the right
II.
They loved, as we love, yet they parted
From all that mans spirit can prize:
Left woman and child brokenhearted,
Staring up to the pitiless skies;
Left the tumult of youth, the sweet guerdon
Hope promised to conquer from Fate
Gave all for the agonized burden
OF death for the Flag and the State
Where they roam on the slopes of the mountain
That only by angels is trod,
Where they muse by the crystalline fountain
That springs in the garden of God,
Are they lost in unspeahable splendor?
Do they never look back and regret
All, the valiant are constant and tender,
And Honor can never forget!
Divine in their pitying sadness,
They grieve for their comrades of EARTH
They will hear u.s. and start into gladness,
And echo the notes of our mirth;
They will lift their white hands In blessing
We shall know by the tear it brings
The rapture of friendship confessing
With harps and the waving of wings!
V.
In that grim and relentless upheaval
Which blesses the world through curse,
Still bringing the good out of evil
The garland of peace on the hearse!-
They were shattered, consumed and forsaken,
Like the shadows that fly from the dawn;
we may never know why they were taken,
But we always shall feel they are gone.
If the wind that signs over our prairies
No longer is solemn with knells-
But lovely with flowers and fairies
And sweet with the calm Sabbath bells;
If Virtue, in cottage and palace,
Leads Love to the bridal of Pride,
lis because out of wars bitter chalice
Our heroes drank deeply-and died!
VII.
All grander in doom-stricken glory
Than the greatest that lnger behind,
They shall live i'll perpetual story,
Who saved the last hope of mankind
For their canse was the cause of the races
That languished in slavery's night;
And the death that was pale on their faces
Has filled the whole world with its light.
VIII.
To the clouds and the mountains we breathe it,
To the freedom of planet and star;
Let the tempestS of oceans enwreathe it.
Let the winds of the night bear it far
Our oath, that, till manhood shall perish,
And honor and virtue Sped
We are true to the cause that they cherish
And eternully true to the dead.

Skin and Scalp Diseases should be treated exter-
naly with CUTICURA, assisted by the CUTIcURA
SOAP, and REsoLvENT taken internally, until cured
and for some time afterward Where the Humors
are confined to the blood and do not show them
selves on the surface, the REsoLvENT alone will
speedily drive them from the system. The CUTICURA
