1t is almost of daily occurrence that
subscribers to country papers complain
of the large space in them that is &C.
cupied by advertisements. Yet these
are clearly indicative of the business
of the country and the Importance of
localities, and are also of the largest
interest to the reader. Some COM
plain of the large type and display,
but this is the condition of the inser-
ton of many Of them. Printers would
crowd them into the least possible
space if they could have their way.
Another feature is that if it were not
for the advertisements few country
papers could exist at ALL or would
have to be reduced to half their pres
ent size or less, and the subscription
price would have to be raised to five
or six dollars per year, and paid with
the utmost promptness, If not in adj
vance. The readers of country papers,
therefore, are in the aggregate bene-
fitted much mora by the advertise
ments in newspapers than their pub
lishersare. Complaining people should
consider this matter.

My physician, after exhausting me
financially, coolly informed me that
my case was hopeless, that no remedy
would reach my case. and it was en-
tirely useless for me to continue TAX
ing medicine. / was told that one
lung was gone, and that my bowels
and kidneys were all decayed. I suf-
fered excruciatingly from the horrors
of dyspepsia and painful urination,
and my breath came short and quick,
while my heart at times ceased to beat
entirely, while again it would thump
most vehemently. A sister Of mine,
Mrs. Rhorer, in Baltimore, wrote to
father, advising him to get me Browns
Iron Bitters. From the very first dose
I felt change now all pain is gone,
my digestion is good, my urine is free

A LADY TO HER HUSBAND.
BY LYMAN wALDRIDaE TRAsE

BY LYMAN wALDRIDGE TRAsE,
Forget me not, though brighter eyes
May beam with sparkling fire;
Forget ME not, though fairer forms
May cause thee to admire.
Within my bosom beats heart
From sin and folly free;
And in the bloom Of youthful hope
gave that heart to thee.
Who left for thee her happy home,
And took thee for her guide?
Who would not for world have sold
Her station by thy side?
When sickness racked thy languid frame,
Who watched thy painful bed?
Whose fingers wet thy parched lips,
Who bathed thy aching head?
Whose silent step at midnight hour,
Whose form then met thy sight2
Whose eyes, when pain released its power
| Fer sparkled with delight?
Will prouder danes, will fairer forms,
Thus on thy sick bed stay9
Should you for false, deceitful hearts,
Cast mine, that's pure, away?
Oil leave me not though brighter eye
May beam with sparkling fire;
Oh! leave me not though fairer forms
May cause thee to admire.
Within my bosom beats heart
From sin and falsehood free;
That heart, while life's weak lamp shall
burn,
Shall ever beat for thee!

TOacm Improvements again


NO. 2.
Mr.. Editor: let US hope that the
movements now begun to improve the
physical conditions and surroundings
of our infant city will not be permit
ted to sleep or subside until they are
all crowned with success. We have
the assurance of His Honor, Mayor
Miller, that the slate-stone paving of
our principal streets will be commence
ed and pushed forward as soon as the
state of the weather and the ground
will permit. This, with the valuable
and important addition of the tele-
phone, which will be in use in few
days, leaves only the plank or slate
stone walk from the city to the depot,
to be constructed soon, and in proper
manner to render available to all who
are interested in property or business
here, the great advantages we possess
as the central market Of the rich and
fertile country around us. These i'm
provements will prove attractive to
strangers who admire our beautiful
country scenery, many of whom in
the spring and summer seasons will
seek Stephens City as aplace Of resort
where fine water, bold scenery, salu-
brious climate, and cheap boarding
and rents, with friendly people, will
draw many visitors and settlers, anc
thus build up our town with theil
means, and enliven our society by
their presence among US. Look a
Winchester. She is kept up almos
entirely by transient visitors and sum
mer boarders, which are taken In al
most every private family. Yet Win
chester cannot compare favorably will
Stephens City in the way of attrac
} tions, in health, beauty Of scenery
and cheapness OF living. If we Sc
cure these advantages, it is easy to Sc
| that property will become more valu
; able here, and the population will in
| crease rapidly. Now we hold thes
local advantages in our own hands
1t is only necessary that we max
them available by our own energy
perseverance, judicious liberality an
$ enterprise. Let us, then, every ma
!, put his shoulder to the wheel, an
