are still the most thorough and search
in9 cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses Of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote vlS-
orOuS health.
Ayers PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
eyade them Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
BODY, but also formidable and danger
GUS diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic' for
children. BY their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain wnen
the bowels are not infiamcd. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
cnlomel nor any delcterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safcty
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity, .t.ti

IS GOLDSMITH MAIDS AFFEC.
TlON.


When Charlie Cochrane, who was
for many years the faithful groom for
the celebrated trotter, Goldsmith
Maid arrived from California, wish
ing to see the grand old trotting mare
and her colt, he called on Mr.. Smith,
her owner, to obtain permission to
visit Fashion Stud farm, in New Jer-
sey. Mr.. Smith accompanied Coch-
rane to the farm, and on, arriving, re.
marked, Charlie, the Maid is very
jealous of her colt, is very cross, and
will permit no one to approach it,
Cochrane arranged that Goldsmith
Maid should hear his voice before she
saw him, and, although they had not
seen each other for years, q loud
whinny presently assured the visitors
that the mare had recognized the man.
Cochrane next showed himself, when
q touching scene occurred. The old
queen of the turf, who for months
would not allow any one to approach
her, making use of both heels and
teeth if it was attempted, rushed with
bound to her old friend, forgetting
even her colt, and rubbed her head
upon his shoulder, her nose in his face,
played with his whiskers, and showed
by her every action that her heart
was full Of JOY to see him. Directly
the colt came up to them, and the old
mare was delighted when Charlie
placed his hand on the little fellow.
When Cochrane left the place the
mare followed him to the gate, whin-
nying for him even after he had passed

HERE Is SERMON ENOUGH FOR
sun DAY.

A little shoeblsck called at the res
idence of a clergyman of this city and
solicited piece of bread and some
water. The servant was directed to
give the child bread from the crumb
basket, and, as the little fellow was
walking slowly away and shifting the
gift between his fingers for q piece
large enough to chew, the minister
called him back and asked him if he
had ever learned to pray. On receiv-
ing q negative answer he directed him
to say, sOurFsther,' but he could not
understand the familiarity.
Is it our father-your father-my
father2'
.Wby, certainly
The boy looked at him a while and
commenced crying, at the same time
holding up. his crust of bread, and ex.
claiming between his sobs:
you say that your father. is my
father; aren't you ashamed to give
your little brother such stuff to eat
when you have got 80 many good
things for yourself?'-[New Orleans

THE STUPID Boy.

Never set boy down for stupid be-
cause he does not make q figure at
school. Many of the most celebrated
men who have ever lived have been
set down by some conventional peda-
gogue as donkeys. One of the great
est astronomers of the age was restor-
ed to his father by the village school
master with the encouraging words:
'There is no use paying good money
for his education. All he wants to do
is to lie on his back on the grass and
stare at the sky. I'm afraid his mind
is wrong Scientific men have often
been flogged for falling into brown
studies over books, and many an ar
tist of the future has come to present
grief for drawing sIl over his copy.
book and surreptitiously painting the
pictures of his geography. Your
genius, unless musical, seldom proves
himself one in his childhood, and your
smug and self-sufficient piece of pre-
costly, who takes all the medale, and
is the show scholar of his school, often
ends by showing no talent for any
thing beyond yard stick. Sir Wal
ter Scott was called stupid as a child,
and it was not even considered to his
credit that he was fond of sic trash
as ballads, and could learn them by
heart at any time. That boy who
really worries you by being SO much
unlike his bright brothers, may be the
very one who will make you proud
and happy some years hence. Take
that to your comfort.
