A REMEDY WITHOUT A RIVAL for
all diseases arising from Nervous Debil-
1ty, Sexual Disorders, over Indulgence Of
Vicious Habits, as well as from the pros
tration of old age. Its curative proper
ties in violent and chronic forms Of the
following diseases have been attested to
by the most Eminent Physicians:
DYSPEPSIA SEXUAL EXHAUSTION
SELF ABUSE SPEkMATORRHEA
HEADACHE GENERAL DEBILITY
DIZZINESS IMPOTENCY
PREMATURE DECAY. &C, &C.
1t has been in use over forty yearB. and
is to-day the most popular remedy for
the diseases aforementioned In the
WORLD. 1t can be used without regard
to diet, is pleasant In taste, and better
than al, 1t Is q sure, safe and certain cure.
1t Is no Quack medicine, but stands upon
Its own merttI, as any trial will amply
demonstrate. Since 1886, this remedy has
always been sold for q much larger price
than that for which IL Is now sold: but
owing to the fact that the time fog the
payment OF an enormous royalty upon It's
manufacture has expired, it is offered TO
the suffering OF both sexes at one dollar
per box, SO as to be within the reach of
all; at which price 1t will be sent to any
address free of further charge.

The National tribune., 1881-10-08

Aroused to some consideration of the position
of his school-fellow, Larry did as he was bid,
and, more expeditiously than might have been
expected of him, bore the tidings OF Jacks i'm
prisOnment to his master.
Perhaps the hardest time of all Jacks solourn
in the tree came now. He had no confidence
whatever in Larry and thought 1t as likely as
not that even if he told the doctor the facts, he
would forget which tree it was Every moment
seemed like an hour; and he relieved his feel
ings by many and many a shout weak and wayer-
inc indeed but some comfort to himself, before
help arrived.
Even then although the doctor had brought
men and ropes, it was a long and tedious opera
ton to pull Master Jack up.
He fitted so very tightly into the tree that it
was almost impossible for him to help himself at
all, and he could not even reach out a hand to
catch the rope that was sent down. BY dlnt OF
wonderful perseverance and intense effort, he at
last succeeded in working his body and the rope
together until he contrved to pass it beneath his
feet, and then at length to push the moose with
which it was pointed over one foot by the help
of the other. 1t was very tedious; and when,
after long trial, Jack at last managed a second
moose over the other foot, only the intense love
Of life. which is inherent in us all, enabled him
to bear the dreadful operation Of being pulled
up whichfollowed.
No wonder that when he reached the open air,
he at once tainted, and that for months he could
not speak of his imprisonment without shudder.
No wonder that, during the long illness that fol-
lowed his adventure, he shrank from all thought
of outdoor life, and begged again and again
never to be asked to climb Il tree. Now, how
ever he does not in the least mind that request
but he takes pretty good care never to find him.
self in such dilemma
History repeats itself The ink with which
this narrative was written was scarcely dry when
paragraph went the round of the papers, de-
scribing the mummified body of a youIl with
rusty gun in his hand, which had been discovered
in the hollow Of an old tree which had been
blown down by the wind. 1t is thus evidently
much easier to get into trees than to get out
again.

WISE SAYINGS,

Friendship is love, without either flowers or
veil.
To those whose god is honor, disgrace alone is
sin.
Diligence is a fair fortune and industry a good
estate.
When the tree is fallen every man goeth to it
with his Ratchet
Many mans vices have at first been nothing
worse than good qualities run wild.
Sometimes | read a book with pleasure and
detest the author
The preaching of divines helps to preserve we'll
inclined men in the course of virtue, but seldom
or never reclaims the vicious.
Positiveness is good quality for preachers and
orators because he that would obtrude his thoughts
and reasons upon the multitude Will convince
others the more as he appears convinced himself.
Disease comes in by hundred-weights, and goes
out by ounces.
A mothers prayer will draw up from the depths
of the sea

A GOOD HEART

There was great master among the Jews who
bid his scholars consider and tell him what was
the best way wherein man should always keep
One came and said that there was nothing better
then good eye, which is, in their language,
liberal and contented disposition Another said
a good companion is the best thing in the world.
\ third said, a good neighbOr was the best thing
he could desire, and the fourth preferred L man
that could forsee things to come-that is, a wise
person But, at last, came in one Eleazar, and he
said good heart was better than them all. True,
said the master thou hast c0mprehended in two
words all that the rest have said for he that hath
q good heart will be both cOntented and good
neighbor, and easily see what is fit TO be done by
him. Let every man then seriously labor TO find
in himself a sincerity and uprightness of heart
at all times, and that will save him abundance of
other labor.

FARM AND GARDEN.

ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.-U nleached wood
ashes contain all the constituents of plant food
that the ordinary WORKOUT soil needs, except
nitrogen By their chemical action, they render
much of the inert nitrogen in soils available and
in that way may be said to furnish nitrogen
This is true of lime and on this power of making
nitrogen available, the greatest value of lime.
when applied as a fertilizer, depends Ashes also
have good mechanical effect upon the soil, espe-
cially heavy clay soils, which are made lighter and
more porous, that air and water circulate
more freely Ashes do not suffer waste by being
washed out, to the extent that is true Of the
more soluble and concentrated fertilizers sold in
the markets-their effects are therefore more
lasting.
WHERE SHEEP ARE KEPT for the double pur-
pose of direct income in wool, mutton &C. and the
manure they make, it is important that the extra
food or that outside of what the pasture furnishes
should be chosen with care 1t would be wise for
the American farmer to become better acquainted
with cOtton-sced cake, linseed oil cake, and like
concentrated foods BY feeding, and feeding lib
orally of such foods, the sheep not only grow
rapidly. but the manure they make is rich in nj
trOgenOus matters and valuable fertilizing salts
The growth of animals is means to an end, and
when the most money is made from the flock
and the land enriched the most rapidly the end
is gained The profit of sheep as fertilizers de
ponds largely upon the kind of food that is used.
SUNSHINE FOR CHICKENS. 1t seems hardly
necessary to say how desirable sunshine is for
fowls as the summer sun is now at its height.
But it may be mentioned for all because it is not
often thought about. Health can not be long en-
jOyed by any animal that is deprived of the sun.
There will be paleness or yellOwness, Ianguor
and weakness and susceptibility to positive dis
ease The blood will become dark and impure no
matter how good the food may be or how well all
the other wants are supplied. Long intervals of
cloudy weather will occur in some seasons. At
such times the health Of young brOOds will not
be so good dark ROOM barn, or cellar is not
the place for chickens, nor for any living animals
1t is as necessary that they should have sunlight
it is for vegetable growths. The long, weak
shoots Of plants without light are an example Of
the evil effects OF the want Of light

THE HOUSE IVY.

The plant of all plants for the house is the ivy.
If one has piece, bit only six inches long with
time and patience all the rest will follow. This
piece may be had of a friend, any nurseryman
or florist will send small rooted plant or some
cuttings by mail for small sum. If the plant has
roots, plant it in pot in good soil. If it has not
roots, do the same and it will soon make roots for
it is one of the easiest of all things to grow from
cuttings. Slow Of growth at first, if given larger
pots the roots require, it will in time to be
trained over the window frame, up the corner
of the room and along the cornices, over picture
frames, and everywhere, and make a drapery so
beautiful that no one will ever think of the pat
tern OF the wall paper One of the finest displays
Ofivy we ever saw was i'll a very old Dutch house,
one built in the early days Of New York State
the parlor had all the beams exposed, and these
beams and the heavy window frames were all
draped with prOfusiOn Of ivy. Any one with
a very small outlay and time can produce equally
fine effects. Ivy out of doors will bear quite a
severe freezing but in the house, if in a state of
growth it must not be allowed to freeze. If the
soil is kept moist and, to remove the dust the
foliage is gone over occasionally with damp

UNDER THE LINDEN

Soft and slow, to and fro,
Underneath the linden tree,
Walks maiden, watching-fearing-
Lest he come not loves appearing
While the night winds whisper low
Stars DER head-earth below.
Underneath the linden tree.
Soft and slow, to and fro,
Underneath the linden tree,
Two are walking. Words are spoken
Vows are made, not lightly broken;-
Hearts with happiness o'erflow-
Loves bright torch all aglow-
Underneath the linden tree
Soft and slow, to and fro,
Underneath the linden tree,
Walk an aged pair, recalling
Loves young dream, their footsteps falling
On green turf, while soft winds blow,
Breathing love where'er they go,
Underneath the linden tree
Soft and low, to and fro
Underneath the linden tree
Breathe the gentle zephyrs, lifting
Leaf and tlow'r; while dark clouds drifting
Hide the stars. A grave below
Marks loves tryst of long ago,

A BIT OF A SERMON.

Whatsoe'er you find to do,
Do il, boys, with all your might
Never be a little true,
Or a title in the right.
Trifies even
Lead to heaven,
Trifies make the life of man;
So in all things,
Great or small things,
Be az thorough as you can.
Let no speck their surface dim
Spotless truth and honor bright!
I'd not give fig for him
Who says any lie is white
He who falters,
Twists or alters
Little atoms when we speak,
Nav deceived be,
But believe me,
To himself he Is a sneak.
Help the weak if you are strong.
Love the old if you are young;
Own a fault if you are wrong,
If you're angry hold your tongue.
In each duty
Lies n beauty,
If your eyes you do not shut;
Just as surely
And securely
As a kernel in nut.
Love with all your heart and soul,
Love with eye and ear and touch,
That's the moral of the whole,
You can never love too much!
IT'S the glory
OF the story
In our babyhood begun,
Our hearts without il.
Never doubt it,
Are as worlds without Il sun,
If you think a word would please,
Say il, if it is but true;
Words may give delight with ease.
When no act is asked from you.
Words may often
SoOthe and soften,
Gid joy or heal a pain;
They are treasures
Yielding pleasures
1t is wicked to retain.
Whatsoever you find to do,
Do it then with all your might;
Let your prayers be strong and true
Prayer, my lads, will keep you right :;
Pray in all things,
Great and small things,
Like a Christian gentleman;
And forever,
Now or never,
Be as thorough as you can.
