in the Court House on question of vital
importance to our people generally and

that the doctor might have seen our town

happened to commence using ST. JACOBS OIL on
horses in this way: My father is over eighty
years of age and is subject to many of the
ailments incident to old age. Among other
thirgs he has Rheumatic attacks. pains in his
liha and joints. and aches in different parts of
his body. He commenced using ST. JACOBS OIL
several months since, and after rubbing himself
freely with the Imminent night and morning ac-
cordinG to the printed directions. he obtained the
most decided relief. Whenever he has any pain
now he uses ST. JACOBS on. and it always drives
observation that What IS good for man is good for
beast Further reports bring the gratifying in
telligence that Aristides Welsh. Esq. of Erden-
helm stock-Farm, near Philadelphia, Pa, the
breeder of that famed racer, Iroquois, above rep
resented uses and strongly endorses ST JACOBS
On as wonderful remedy in its effects upon his
stock. His experience with the Great German
Remedy justified him in giving his unqualified
Endorsement of it, and in saying that his chief
groom should always use it on the farm. q

Putting a Hoop on a Barrel.

Putting a hoop on family flour
barrel is an operation that will hardly
bear an encore. The woman generally
to dinner. She sets the hoop up on the
end OF the slaves, takes a deliberate
aim with the rolling-pin, and then,
shutting both eyes, brings the pin down
with all her force on one arm, while the
other one instinctiyely shields her
face. Then she makes dive for the
camphor and unbleached muslin, and
when the man comes home she is Sit
ting back of the stove thinking of St.
Stephen and the other martyrs, while a
burnt dinner and the camphor are
struggling for the mastery. He says
that if she had but kept her temper she
wou dn't have got hurt. And he visits
the barrel himself and puts the hoop on
very carefully, and then adjusts it so
nicely to the top Of every stave that
only few smart raps apparently are
needed to bring it down all right, And
then he laughs to himself to think
what fuss his wife kicked up for
simple matter that only needed little
patience to adjust itself; then he gets
the hammer, and gives the hoop a
small rap on one side, and the other
flies up and catches him on the nose,
filing his soul with wrath and his eyes
with tears. and the next minute the
barrel is flying across the room, ac-
companied by the hammer, and another
candidate for camphor and rag is en-
rolled in the great army that is UNI
ceasingly marching toward the grave

er of short or long standing. He refers to tho
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by singh bottle, with per-
fec- restoration Of the general health. 1t il,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient. however re-
quire cathartic medicine. after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic, single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.

MY LADY.

MY LADY.
Thus do dream
sometimes of a summer day,
When the winds blow fresh from the hill,
Cleansing our souls from thoughts of i'll,
As our limbs are washed by the mountain
stream)
What my love should be,
If God would fashion her form for me.
Gracious and stately, yet withal
Most gentle minded, slow to please,
And not profuse of word;
Full of tranquil kindness for all,
Lest to the super-sense
Of humble minds chance speech give
Not quickly stirred
To tears or laughter, love or strife;
Right nobty simple in her way of life,
Yet joyfully healthy in all this world can
give,
And beauty can not harbor with disease.
But above all most true,
And rather over-trustful than inclined
To see the evil than the good
In each mans mind;
Setting "Thus should l" higher than ~
would"
Nor ever restless for things new.
And her bearing, 1 would have her tall
And lissom as young shoots in May
That rise and fall,
Marking the cadence of the breeze
Rather than bending to his sway;
With eyes like summer seas
Nlocking the blue above,
Within whose infinite azure deeps
A golden secret sleeps
Whose holy calm hath never yet revealed
To day or night
The worlds of treasure that do lie concealed
Beneath their crystal sheen,
But wait the coming of the light
The coming of the light of love
So would have my queen.
Her voice should be silver sweet
Pure as the chime Of a holy bell;
And my heart should beat
And answer its sound again,
AS twin lutes throb to a single strain.
Therein should dwell
The music of my life, now and to be;
The noblest thoughts God ever gave to me
Should be set to its exquisite melody.
This is my dream of a midsummer hour,
Begot
BY the fairy power
OF few fond rhymes that my heart holds
dear;
And turn and tremble her step to hear,
Yet she cometh not
