Blunt but True.

There is said to be young man in the
Missouri penitentlary. whose parents at
death left him fortune of $4,000. There
is where his parents made fatal mis-
take. If they had taken the precaution
to invest the sum in small dog and
then simply left the young man jack
plane or wood saw, with printed direc-
tions how to use them, the chances are
that instead of being in the penitentiary,
he would to-day have been gradually but
surely working up to handsome compe-
tency, an honorable and an old age. But
ever since the day of Adam and Eve,
parents have made it point to toll and
struggle all their lives in order to realize
sufficient sum of money to purchase,
when they are dead and gone, their sons
each first-class through ticket to the
devil; and it is not much to be wondered
at that so many of their sons, reared in
vice and idlenees, as too many of them
often are, have no higher ambition than
to invest their inheritance in just that
sort of transportation.

"For All Who Die. +"

1t hath been said, "For all who die
There is a tear:
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
Der every bier;"
But in that hour of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Who'd watch life's last departing ray
In deep despair,
And soothe my spirit on its way
With holy prayer?
What mourner round my bier will come
In weeds of woe,
And follow me to my long home,
= Solemn and slow?
When lying on my cIayey bed
In icy sleep,
Who there by pure affection led
Will come and weep;
By the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid it cheer my dark repose,
My lonely rest?
Could but know when am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
As if some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's pale gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs of death,
And light the tomb.
Yes in that hour if could feel
From halls of glee
And beaqty's presence one would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit and weep by me
In nights deep noon,
Oh would ask of memory
No other boon.
But, ah a lonelfer fate is mine,
A deeper woe;
From all 1 loved in youths sweet time
l soon must go.
Draw round me my robes of white
In a dark spot
To sleep thro' deaths long, Greamless night,
Lone and forgoti

Shall the Women be Taught the Use
of Tobacco.
BY PROF. EDWARD A. LAWRENCE.

Why not? If smoking Havanas, or
chewing pigtail and cavendish does the
men good, it ought to do the women
good. If the use of this ancient weed
is such a substantial gain to physical
strength, clearness of intellect, social re-
fnement and morals, why should we. the
the weaker" sex selfshly monopolize
the benefit?
Would it not be well, if tobacco in the
moderate use-no one ever thinks he
uses it immoderately-does so much
good, that the board of health in our
towns and cities should pass commenda-
tory resolutions respecting it, in behalf
of the female portion of our country?
Should not the school committees or
boards of education arrange that the
girls may have the same opportunity of
learning the art of their teachers in
school-since the mothers do not teach
them at home-that the boys have from
the fathers and brothers, out of SCHOOL,
Think of it, men of America Think of
it! You do not need to think of it, The
idea of teaching chewing and splitting, or
smoking and splitting, or snufing and
blowing, to the school girls shocks you
But if you would not have it taught to
it to your sons? There is no teaching
like example. If you smoke, they will
If you chew, they will.
And if smoking and chewing were to
become as common among the women as
they are among the men-if our wives
and mothers, our blooming young women
and bright eyed girls, were to walk the
streets, rolling pigtail as a sweet morsel
under their tongues, ejecting its dark
juices every few steps from their rosy
lips or putting large Havana or an old,
filthy pipe that pollutes Gods pure air
for rods around, there is not devotee of
the weed who would not deplore it as a
grieVous calamity.
And why? Because of the losses in
feminine cleanliness, sweetness and beau
ty, which would ensue. But if the evils
of this habit be SO great to one-half the
other half? And can nothing be done2
Yes
Count the cost: II have spent money
enough for tobacco" said venerable
church member to his pastor, "to buy
the best farm in the State and stock it
too"
Let every young woman make it con.
dition of accepting addresses from a
young man in the use of tobacco, that he
abandon it entirely. THAT is the way
my lady-love treated me" said an intelli
gent man. "We loved I smoked. She
did not. She said I cannot consider
your proposals till you give up tobacco
I gave it up. Then she considered
and consented Wherefore lay apart
all filthiness and superfuity of naughti
ness.
Ministers of the blessed gospel. what
would you think if the Master had been
so in the use of tobacco from his boyhooo
to his death that he could not dispense
with luxury that costs so much, ano
does such great harm to those whom he
died to save. Can we, then, in this in
dulgence, be his true and faithful wit
nesses, and safe example to those
whom he has called US to lead, through
selfdenial, to eternal life.

Bright shines the sun, but brighter after rain;
The clouds that darken make the sky more
clear;
So rest is sweeter when it follows pain,
And the sad parting makes-our friends more
dear.
'Tis well it should be thus our Father know s
The things that work together for our good /;
We draw sweetness from our bitter woes
We would not have all sunshine if we could.
The days with all their beauty and their light
Come from the dark and into dark return;
Day speaks of earth, but heaven shines through
the night,
Where in the blue thousand star-fires burn.
So runs the law, the law of recompense,
That binds our life on earth and heaven in
one;
Faith cannot live when all is sight aud sense,
But faith can live and sing when these are
gone.
We grieve and murmur, for we can but see
When If we only saw the things to be,
Wait.then, my soul, and edge the darkening
With the bright gold that Hope can always
lend,
And if to-day thou art with sorrow bowed
Wait till tomorrow and thy grief shall end
And when we reach the limit of our days,
Beyond the reach of shadows and of night,
Then shall our every look and voice be praise
To him who shines, our everlasting light.

Sulphur for Diphthleria.

Mr.. John S. Wiles, surgeon of Thorn
combe, Dorset, writes to the London
Times that after two cases of malignant
diphtheria out of some nine or ten he had
been called to attend had proved fatal,
the mother of sick child showed him
an extract from an American paper con-
cerning practitioner who used sulphur
to cure the disease. Accordingly he used
milk of sulphur for infants and flowers of
sulphur for older children and adults,
brought to creamy consistence with
glycerine; dose-a teaspoonful or more,
according to age, three or four times a
day, swallowed slowly, and application OF
the same to the nostrils with a sponge -
Result: he did not lose case there or
elsewhere, and he succeeded in saving
life when the affection had almost block
ed the throat.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of

efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so sl1ilfully COM

each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms OF a DISEASED Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
L of the ribs, increases on pressure;
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 fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something 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
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up fortl-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

fed now, that there are but two po-
litical parties in this country. The
Democratic, which is the bulwark of
protection and the hope of Southern
greatness on the one side, and the Re.
publican party which means strife,
ruin and dcsolation to Louisiana. On
which side will stand the men who
desire to sec our State happy and
prosperous?
