A FAMILY BLESSING.

Under date OF May 10, 1850. we have received
the following information from Mr.. Lorenzo LON
bard. OF Is Charles street. Portls nd. Me. Mr..
Lombard says: "For several years pas, / have
been troubled with severe bscksche and pains in
the side, and when would lie down I could not
rest well, as it seemed impossible for me TO get
into an easy position; aud my aches and pains in
creased constantly TO such an extent that be
came convinced that / had a disease OF the kid
neys fastened TO me- and after having used doc
tors prescriptions and many Of the sOcalled cures
without getting any benefit, was persuaded by
near neighbOr, Mr. Jones, 20 Try Hunts remedy. as
himself and wife had been greatly benefited by its
uses and many others of our acquaintances spoke
OF its merits in the highest terms. l decided to
try il, and purchased bottle at Nichols drug
store. and as soon as had taken few doses OF il
the pains in my back were relieved, and after tax
ing three bottles my sideaehe and lame back are
cured. and can truly testify that Hunts Remedy
is an article of great merit and will do all thar is
claimed for il. and know OF many other people
in Portland who have found a cure I'm Hunts
Remedy after all others failed to DO any good.
and | recommend il to all who have kidney or
liver disease, hoping that this may be the means
of relieving some sufferer who does not know or
the merits Of Hunts Remedy"

A Very self-willed Horse.
IHarper,s Young People

There is an old nursery rhyme which
teaches that kindness and patience are the
best methods to pursue in the case of a don
key that wouldn't 60" An English gentle
man relates that lie had horse that
wouldn't 60" but when he came to try the
patience remedy, he found that the horse
had larger supply of virtue than he himself
possessed, which, as will presently be seem
was considerable.
The English gentleman's horse was con-
firmed baker" One Saturday afternoon,
when he was returning in his dog cart, the
horse balked,a il had often done before, and
its master thought that this time he would
try what calmnesS and patience would do.
Accordingly he sat still in the dog cart and
addressed the animal in soothing tones and
kindly words but TO no purpose. 1t was
exactly ten minutes past four on Saturday
afternoon when the horse stopped in the
middle of the road.
The afternoon wore away the sun sank
below the horizon, darkness settled down
over the landscape, and yet the man and
horse remained to fight out the battle be-
tween obstinacy and patience, Through TIE
long night they staid there. the whip re-
naming quietly in the socket and
when the sun arose after his voyage around
the word he found the contest still going on.
At six o'clock in the morning the owner
bade his gr' ON fetch cart rope and tie il to
the horses foreeg; but when the groom did
so, and pulled with all his might, the only
result was that the horse stood with his fore
leg stuck out as il he were a bronze statue.
At seven O'Clock the horse became perfectly
furious. sezing the shaft with his teeth, and
shaking it, kicking and stamping with rage
the while. At half past seven the groom
tried TO tempt him with measure of oats.
but the angry beast would have none of it,
notwithstanding that il was twenty hours
since he had had a mouthful of food or drop
OF water
Then his master had to confess himself
beaten In the trial of patience, and having
procured some tough shoots of ground ash
he applied them TO Mr.. Horses back so Wig.
orously that that self-wilIed quadruped was
Obliged to confess himself beaten so far as
his hide was concerned Ii was then twenty
minutes before eight on Sunday morning,
the contest having lasted fifteen honrs and a
bali, during which the horse did not bulge an
inch, nor his owner stir from his seat in the
carriage
This is probably the most remarkable ex'
hibtion OF obstinacy on the one side and oil
patience on the other that was ever known,
and the story as told here is exactly true.

What WIN You 3. {.
lSchOlar's Communion. /

We see two boys standing side by side.
Both are intelligent looking aud kind look
ing; but one becomes an idle, Shiftless fell
low, and the other an influential and useful
man. Perhaps when they were boys no one
could have seen much difference between
them; when they were men the contrast was
marked. One became disSolute step by
step; the other became virtuouS step by
step; as one went up the other went down.
1t is a question of great momentWhat
will you be? One determines he will do right
and improve his powers and opportunities to
the utmost. He is industrious, learns his
business, becomes partner, or proprietor,
and is known as a man OF influence and
power Another does not determine TO be
bad, but is lazy, and neglects to improve his
opportunities. He shirks work; he fools
around" next he is seen with tobacco,
and probably beer and whisky
follow; his appearance shows he is un-
healthy; he does not do this work we'll, he
loses his position, and becomes incorporate
and probably criminal
There are many to-day who are standing
at the parting place. You can take one path
and you will 60 down as sure as the sun
rises Ii you prefer hanging around a saloon
to reading good books at home, then you are

Ii a boy steadily improves his time, tries
to learn his business. obeys his father and

Besides examples drawn from village

Is your Life Worth q Dollar?

Perhaps thatseems high price for
It, considering how poor your blood
IS, and how your whole system is
Frustrated, debilitated, and enGeebled.
People have been heard to say, under
such circumstances, that they would
aot give the toss Of a copper for the
choice between life and death. But
when it comes to actually drawing
near thegravc, a man naturally draws
back, and says he does not want to
die. Life is very precious, and even
to a broken.down man it is worth
saving.
One dollar will buy bottle Of

lar may start you on the road from
misery to recovery. A man must
take avery mean view Of himselfwho

making one serious effort to rescue
