the public, who have read nothing
about him thus fur except that he is
liVcly, that he courts attention, aud
that III the face of the dread fact that he is
doomed to an carly death on the gal

MY friends, that man stands alone.
Inc people who come to see him arc
those who como out Of curiosity, and
those who care nothing for the soul
that is so soon to be ushcrcd into tho
presence Of tho Almighty. Cox has
gone to tho Father Of all and pleaded
for pardon through TIC Saviour. IIc
has received that pardon and is saved.

burglary he began to pray; and from
that time to this no has continued to
pray. Whom he went to Boston he
Joined in the worship Of God at Ebcnc-

FATTENING CATTLE FOR MARKET
Many of the cattle shipped to the East
from Cincinnati arc tattcncd in tho
pens attached to tho distilleries in and
about that city. Two years ago nearly
10000 head wero cared for in this way,
though tho total for last year was less
than 1000. The cattle, which arc taken
into the pens with the largest opportu-
mites for Improvement in their physi-
col condition, arc given slops four
times day, hay twice q day and corn
meal once day. For few weeks
after thc cattle got into the pens they
40 not take kindly to slop food, but
after time eat 1t as though they could
not get enough of it. Tho cattle arc
curricd once q day, and their stables
arc cleaned and scrubbed twice q day.
The average gain per head during tho
winter, which is tho timo for subject
ing the animals to this process, is about
800 pounds, and tho gain to tho own
ers, after all expenses are paid, is from
$36 to 800 per head. Only the heavy
cattle are shipped to the East, those
below l 100 pounds being sold in the
homo market.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of q century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimiative organs Of tho
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade thom. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the Same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their apericnt action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inaamed.
They reach the vital fountains of tho blood,
and strengthen tho system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness. t.-
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
