A GOOD THING

German Syrup is the special prescription
of DIR. A. Boschee, a celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to be one OF
the most fortunate discoveries in Medicine.
1t quickly cures Coughs, Colds and Lung
troubles of the severest nature, removing, as
it does, the cause of the affection and leav-
ing the parts in a strong and healthy condi-
ton. 1t is not an experimental medicine,
but has stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which Its rapidly in
creasing sale every season confirms. Two
million bottles sold annually. Beware of
medicines Of similar names, lately intro
duced. Boschee's German Syrup was intro
duced in the United States in 1865, and is
now sold in every town and village in the
civilized world. Three dozes will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price rs cents. Sam
pie bottle 10 cents.

EVERY established local newspaper receives
subscription from the large cities, which
puzzles the publisher to account for, but
which the New York Times of recent date
throws some light on, in the following: "a
wholesale grocer in this city who became rich
in his business, says his rule always was
when he sold bill of goods on credit, to
Immediately subscribe for the local paper of
his debtor. So long as his customers adver-
tised literally and vigorously he rested, but
rs aeon as he began to contract his advertis-
ing space he took the fact Is evidence there
"a, trouble ahead and invaribly went for
his debtor" Said he, ''the man who is too
poor to make his business known lie too poor
to do business" The Withdrawing of an I'D.
vertisement is an evidence Of weakness that
business men are not slow to act upon.

But my wife was one of these
Who SO early hastened hither,
Where the saiated dead repoee.
Whose sweet memory fingers with us
Like beam Of pnrest light,
To suggest o thought Of Heaven.
And Of Angels clothed in white.
When her heart was beating highest,
Though her cheek displayed no bloom;
AT the summons OF q stranger
She forsook her earthly home;
Yea, with all the fond devotion,
Which can fill trusting heart,
She embraced the ones that loved her
And was ready 10 depart.

In the bright connubial bower
Where four lovely blossoms hung.
On the fair unfolding petals,
How mothers precepts shone.
There the dews OF her example

But what lips may tell the struggle.
VI her deep maternal love,
When the Angel death appeared
With message from above.
Who may know the conflict,
When loves strongest tie was riven,
But her faith beamed triumphant
And a victory was given.

When each earthly hope had fed,
For she knew that she must slumber
With the long forgotten dead.

To dwell with the Angels in the sky.

There were gathered by her bedside
To receive her last farewell,
Her tour weeping babes who beheld her,
And her mourning husband as well,
While her spirit was departing
Heard their names pronounced in prayer.
She has gone, but still We see her
In the galaxy on high,
And her bright eye beams upon me
From the overbending sky.
She has crossed the stormy Jordan

Yet she is very often smiling
And conversing by my siie.
Oh my darling how We miss you,
But still are reconciled to Gods free will;
Though while the roaring pillows

We shall cross the chilly waters
And the vale will then be riven,
Then our souls shall meet thee, mother,
We will join you tnen in Heaven.

can redeem in studying medicine with

presented himself at the shops in such
an amazing mental condition, that his
friends thought he was either drunk or
crazy, and they finally induced him to
go home. Arrived there he ordered
dinner, although he had partaken
bountifully short time before, and
when it was before him he began to
break the dishes. Then he rushed out
of the house and into the garden, where
he proceeded to dig up the mud with
his hands, and act generally in a most
unreasonable manner. A doctor was
summoned and the riddle was solved.

Character in Voices.
[sportfng Adventures in the Far west.l

3 +. lsportfng Adventures in the Far West.1
I have noticed as fact that struck
me as peculiar, that the bravest and
largest wild animals always had deep
voices, and that they were generally
melodious, full of music as it were,
while the small fry, which would run
from a common cur, had high, sharp
voices. have hunted with some of
the bravest men, the best scouts and
most famous hunters in the West, and
/ found that they also had heavy tones
as a rule: and deduced from this that
the highest order of animals, those that
were brave and daring, were also deep
in voice, and that their intonations
never Jared ON the ear. When saw
that the heroes in an opera were tenors,
it struck me as an old idea that thin
voiced animals were seldom so coura-
geous in actual life as their deeper
toned congeners, and this has caused me
to express it here, to see if is in any
way founded on fact, or whether it is
mere artificial system of display.

morning is almost invariably spent in

the evening, being reserved for editorial
tasks. Although one may find him with
pen in hand at almost any time of day,
he almost stops and talks agreeably to
visitors. When the volume on venetian

he offered it to the Atlantic Monttfy,
