ment Of the great benefits received
from his 'Favorite Remedy These
are all read with care and interest by
him. as they frequently illustrate the
power of the medicine in some new,
and, perhaps, hitherto untested phase
of operation, But it is when a suffer

deliverance in person, to grasp the
doctor by the hand and greet him as a
true and valued friend, that the inter

GETTING TO THE FRoNT.--The fol-
lowing, related by an officer of the Stone
wall Brigade, may interest some of our
soldier friends:
While Jackson's crops was cautiously
moving to the flank and rear of the
Union army at Charlottesville, the Con-
federate cavalry in advance became en-
gagged with the enemy. Soon wound
ed and bleeding trooper was seen emerg-
ing from the woods in front. After look
ing around, he moved in the direction
from which the infantry were marching
as if seeking the rear, or. as the average.
gray-jacket would say, the r'dr. Soon
afterward rapid firing explained that the
blue jackets had closed in behind Jack
son, and it was not long before the poor
cavalryman was seen coming back again.
When opposite the "Stonewall," another
cavalryman from the front-alsO arrived.
No. at once recognized him, and said,
"Hollo, Bill-weunded? ?"
"Yes." said No. 2, "but not bad. Let's
git to the r'ar."
At which No. exclaimed: "This is
the darnedest fight I've bin in yit. 1t
hain't got on r'ar." Editors Drawer, in

THE people of the 18th Congressional
District of Ohio are represented at pres
by a man Of no ordinary stamp. He Is
of fine physique, and his general deport-
ment decidedly pleasing. The Hon. }.
T. Updegraff is of genuine Quaker origin.
therefore he has an inherent love OF lib
erty and justice, which is of stalwart
growth. and cannot be eradicted. The
strong points in the character OF TINS
newIy-elected member are these: unlike
MANY Others who seem to have no
thought, or interest in their constltu-
ents at home, and who turn a deaf ear
to those who elected them. DIR. Upde-
graft appears to appreciate the compli-
ment and the honor eonft rfed upon him
by his fellow citizens at home, and has
not, we are happy TO say, fallen into the
errors above named, or made himself
unapproachable by those who hail fiom
his section. Another prominent point
in his character is his Jealous and ear
nest advocacy of the Republican party,
also the able manner in which he has
conducted himself in debate. He is one
of those men who is governed by princi-
pie, and acts from sense of duty, and
thesefore legislates with consistency and
care. Such man is not likely to be
bought or induced to do an ignoble act.
These noble characteristics thus far as a
legislator, indicate that he bids fair to
become the peer of his honorable prede-
cessors-Danford and Bingham, and that
the people of his District will find it to
be their interest to continue him in his
present position for many years F.

How wondrous are the changes Jim,
Since forty years ago,
when girls wore woolen dresses Jiin'
And bows wore pants of tow
when shoes were made of calfskln,
And socks of homespun wool,
And children did ahalf days work,
Before the hour of school.
The girls took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning-wheel,
And practiced late and early, Jlm'
On the spindle and the reel; =,
The boys would ride bareback 10 mii'i
A dozen miles or so,
And hurry of before twas day,
Some forty years ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
In sleds instead Of sleighs,
And wagons rode as easy Jim,
As buggies nowadays.
And oxen answered wen Iof ueatss'
Though now they'd be too slow,
For people lived not half SO fast
Some forty years ago.
O. well do remember, Jim,
That wilson's patent stove
That father bought and paid for, jim
In cloth our girls had wove.
And how the neighbors wondered, Jim
When we got4he thing to go;
They said 'twOuld burst and kill us all
Some forty years ago.
Yes. everything is different. Jim,
From what it used to was,
For men are always tamperlng, Jim,
With Gods great natural laws.
But what on earth we're coming to
Does anybody know
For everything has changed SO much,
Since forty years ago.
