The Blind Man.

That man may be blind in more
ways than one is conceded by almost
everybody The man who is physical
ly blind, whose eyes have been de-
stroyed by disease or the sight re-
moved by some accident, is to be
pitied and he should have the sympa-
thy and share the charity OF every
good citizen. But the man who is
blind intellectually or spiritually who
at this day and age does not post him.
self as to his immediate surroundings,
does not make himself acquainted with
the general topics of the day, does not
know whether he is Presbyterian or
a Methodist, Republican or a Demo-
crat, is to be censured rather than
pitied, because in these days of cheap
literature, and the world is full OF ut.
a man need not go to the expense of
IL. tH
travelling, he can stay right at his own
fireside and make himself fully &C
quainted with everything that is going
on in the. world, and thus become a
good Judge of the principles and char
acters which are best calculated to adj
vance the interests Of every country
and better the condition of every indi.
o,vidual. 1t may be well perhaps, to
state right here for the benefit OF those
who may not be acquainted OF the fact,
that Saur makes specially OF keeping
constantly on hand all the best and
choicest literature of the day at his
large drug and book store, and any
book, paper or magazine published
anywhere in the world will be fur
nished on the shortest possible notice,
in any language desired. And, And We We will
say further that you will not only find
saur's drugs and medicines is always
complete, and will compare favorably
in quantity, variety, price and quality
: with that of any other drug house any,
where east or west, north or south. Il
has become byword, and deservedly
too, that when you fail to find any spe-
eial or particular kind Of medicine
everywhere else, that BY going te
saur's drug and book store you will be
sure to find it. p .
Az. In the line of holiday goods, Saul
is always up with the times and has
everything that is beautiful as well as
useful at prices which are within the
reach ofeverv one. In fact low prices
on all kinds Of goods sold at this house
have ever been the mottos which have
given this house a reputation which II
not excelled and which every one ii
proud to speak of. Saur has alway'
recognized this fact in all his dealings
that honest square dealing, represent
