A RUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
Gentlemen of business ability whose
time is not now fully occupied, would
do well to consider the offers made by
the Equitable Life Assurance Society to
local agents. The average annual new
business of this Company for the past
eight years, has been larger than that
of any other company in existence. It
has recently made its policies incontest-
able after three years; and has gained
a worldwide reputation for great finan-
cial strength and promptness in the
payment of its death claims. Letters
should be addressed to the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, 12O Broadway.

The pupular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions. that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported by
every assurance OF a cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiag countenanees of those
around. For our part we do not believe
that consumption is neurabe, and let physi-
clans theorize as thew will, we have a mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms of consumption. cough, deep,
bloody expectora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhna, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &c, have been permanently cured

by the score, while in those four innings the
Brown Stockings made ten tallies. The
Fleecers, however, caught up until at the end
OF the seventh inning the score stood Is to II
in favor Of the home club. The eighth inning
was a whitewash for both sides. On the
ninth inning the Fleecers made four and the
Browns FIVE runs, which made the result Is
to Is in favor of the Brown Stockings.
Three>base hits were made, one each by
Sands, of the Fleecers and Harry Englebach

SEPTEMBER.


The golden-red is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's biuest fainges
Are curling in the sun,
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges iiaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook;
And astefs by the brook side;
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all fiutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here.
With summers best Of weather,
And anlumn's best Of cheer
But none of all this beauty
Which foods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
'Tis a thing which remember;
TO name it thrills me yet;
One day of one September
never can forget.

by the use of Swaynes Tar of Sarsaparilla

any general disease, try these pills and be
