The Age OF Discovery.

The real benefactor is the one who alleviates
the greatest amount of humsn suffering. Very
few are free from the communicating influences
of impure blood. Gross poisons rankle in the
veins OF all classes, impairing the physical and
mental powers. Some poisons are transmitted
by hereditary descent, others originate in the
stomach by reason of improper food and drink.
In many instances the blood becomes vitiated
by coming in contact with an impure atmos-
phere in the lungs, through the pores by lack
Of proper cleanliness of the person and other
causes.
]. P. Allen, a prominent druggist and manu-
facturer of proprietary medicines, st. Paul.
Mimi, has prepared an "Iron Tonic Bitters %
that has become more popular for its age than
any blood medicine extant. This medicine
cannot be too highly recommended. 1t has al
ready reached a wide circulation and the de-
mand is rapidly increasing. For dyspepsia,
liver complaint and general debility, Aliens
Z" Iron Tonic Bltters - are Without a rival. They
are a powerful tonic and act upon the system
like magic. We can say nothing that can
equal the universal favor with which they are
received.-Omdhd Herald, September 8. 1880.

Not the WAY to Do.

In localities where the extraordinary merit OF
DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and S~arsaparllla be-
comes fully known, it leads tie sale of all other
remedies, and although, in some instances, GER
tain druggists have been known to recommend
some other remedy as a blood purifier OF
strengthening tonic, by the sale of which they
make greater profit, nevertheless it is a fact
that intelligent persons will not be thus per-
suaded, but will insist on the druggists procur-
ing DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla,
as it far excels all medicines as a blood purifier,
Strengthening tonic, liver and bowel regulator,
and kidney cure. A trial will prove it's merit
as a general health renewer. Its principal in
gradients are Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juni-
per, Iron, Buchu, Celery, and Calisaya bark,
and it acts on the blood, liver, bowels, kidneys,
and nervous system at one and the same time,
rebuilding the broken-down constitution as if
by magic. Try one bottle.

end of the tube. This simple continuance
was patented after the war, and the in
ventor charged a royalty of $40 on each
well driven. AS the western farming
lands are filed with these drive wells,
some idea of the immense value of this
patent can be obtained. An entire
revolution was practically effected in
well-d1gging, and q moderate estimate of
the money value of the patent is So, 000,-
600. The ordinary spring window-shade
which is to be foundnow III almost every
house, SO cheaply is it manufactured and
hung, is patented, and yields annually to
the inventor an income equal to that of
81, 600, 900 iudiciously invested. The
stylographic-pen patent is also worth
81, 000, 900 to its holder, and that of the
marking-pen, for shading In different
c%olors, and of the ordinary rubber
stamps, 800, 900. In 1872 Jacob W.
Davis, of Reno, New, bent his powerful
mind to the subject of providing some
remedy for the wear and tear on the
pockets of miners and other laborers.
He noticed that the sewed seams were
ripped and started by frequent pressure
caused by putting the hands in the pock-
cts and loading them with ore and other
articles which miners affect. He pro-
posed to put a metal rivet OF eyelet at
each end of the pocket opening, upon
which the strain would naturally fall.
This idea was patented in May, 1878. It
took the fancy of the miners and other
western laborers, and Davis has reaped
a rich reward from his ingenuity. Rivets
would hardly prove an ornament on the
trousers of a New York swell, but they
are remarkably effective for the purpose
designed on the pockets of miners.

Prize-Eidht in a Church.
(From a London Special Dispatch


A remarkable incident of the irrepres-
sibility of the love of prize-fghting I'M
deferred by the recent, solemn, judicial
conclave upon the prize fight at Ascot,
has occurred in the heart of London, un-
der the very noses of her maiesty's
judges, III what was formerly known as
"Archdeacon " Dunbar's chapel in Tav-
istock Place, a building which was suffi-
GENTLY notorious during the reverend
gentleman's careeH both for the
extraordinary attention he paid to
the musical celebration of divine
service and for his excessive po-
likeness to lady members of his congre-
cation. The sporting fraternity in the
east end of London had long had an eye
on the disused chapel and hired it as a
suitable arena for the "noble art of self
Defense" The altar rails were utilized
to form a ring. The communion was the
seat of the referee. A crowd of the
worst and lowest characters thronged the
floor and gazed with mingled curiosity
and surprise at the Ten Commandments
over the altar. But on the arrival of
the seconds with brandy, ice and spong-
es, a desperate fight between two men
began, when the police arrived, cleared
the place and arrested n of the princi-
pals with several others, who were exam
med before the magistrate, but are
now out on bail in their accustomed
haunts,

Mr.. JOHN WANAMAKER, of Philadel-
phia, president of the Presbyterian Sun
day School superintendent Association,
has given notice he will supply gratui-
tously Except the cost of mailing) 100
packets containing four varieties of
flower seeds to every Sunday school
which will agree to a midsummer dis
play of flowers, with prizes, and send a
report of the result to the committee.
This proposition was suggested by an
experiment successfully tried last sum-
me" in Philadelphia. In England the
cultivation of flowers has been recognized
for several years as a valuable ally of
the Sunday school work, since it stimu-
lates a pure taste, develops a refining in
huence and makes the meanest home less
unattractive.

when it could have been so easily relieved.
Acting upon the theory and using the remedy
above mentioned the kidneys could have been
restored to their usual vlgor, the uric poison
expelled from the system, the Inflammation re-
moved and the pain entirely banished.
These are some of the real and scientific facts
regarding rheumatism, attested by the highest
authority and they are beyond question, the
only correct ones ever brought forth. We are
aware they are advanced ideas,- but ten years
hence they will de the accepted belief and
practice of the world. If people suffer from
plain truths before them, they certainly can
blame no one but themselves.

FOOTSTEPS or ANGELS.
BY II. W. L~oNGFELLow.

When the hours of Day are numbered
And the voices of the Night
Wake the better soul that slumbered,
To q holy, calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the itful freight
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at the open door;
The beloved, the true-hearted,
Come to visit me one more;
They, the holy ones and weakly.
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with us on earth no more!
And with them the Being Beauteous,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than ell things else TO love me,
And is now q saint in heaven
Uttered not, yet comprehendeo,
Is the spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.
o, though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If 1 but remember only
Such as these have lived and died.
