Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil-
la, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with
the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful
blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus-
tanning elements. 1t is the purest, safest, :
and most effectual Alternative medicine
known or available to the public. The sci
ences of medicine and chemistry have never
produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so
potent to cure all diseases resulting from
impure blood. 1t cures Scrofuia and
Rose, or st. Anthony's Fire, Pimples
and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches,
Boils, Tumors, letter, Humors,
Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm,
Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial
Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak
Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia,
Emaciation, and General Debility.
BY it's searching and cleansing qualities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood and cause derange-
ment and decay. 1t stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions, promotes energy and
strength, restores and preserves health, and
infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any dis
ease which arises from impurity of the
blood need despair who will give AYERS
SARSAPARILLA a falr trial.
1t is folly to experiment with the numer-
GUS low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials,
and without medicinal virtues offered as
blood-puritiers, while disease becomes more
firmly seated. AYERS SARsAPARILLA is Il
medicine of such concentrated curative
power, that it is by far the best, cheapest,
and most reliable blood-purifier known.
Physicians know its composition, and pre-
scribe it. 1t has been widely used for forty
years, and has won the unqualified conf
ilence of millions whom it has benefited.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1883-04-05

In all labor there is poetry, if we
can but find it, containing its deepest
meaning and its truest realities. One
mechanic sees nothing beyond his
tools and their daily use !; another be-
holds the civilization and refinement
which his work is daily spreading.
One merchant measures his business
only by his yearly account of profit
or loss ; another sees in il the extern
sion of commerce, the employment
given to labor, the triumph of homes,
principles. One physician looks Al
his profession only a. a ladder foI
his own advancement and popularity
another beholds suffering assuaged,
disease overcome, sanitary habits en-.
forced, healthful living secured,
happiness increased. One woman
sees IN her house only an arena fol
hard work and physical comfort ; an
other ees exquisite pictures Of th,
possible happiness, honor, develop
ment, and value which may be cher
ished within it, and may issue from i
to bless society and strengthen tn
nation. 1t is only as these highe
- a4.--
truths Of labor become wildly pic
tured in the imagination that labor it
self can rise to its true position. 1t
poetry is its best reality and enable
all its prose of hard work or dry de
tails.

4 Model Love Letter.

The following cpistlo was picked up on
the streets Sunday, just after Sabbath
school. We know who wrote IL, bat re-
frain from s'giying him away" just at the
present time: DEAREST SrsiE: Ny love
is stronger than the smell Of coffee, patent
butter, or the kick Of a young cow. Sen
sations of exquisite JOY go throgh me like
cohorts Of ants through an army cracker,
b I'D caper over my heart like young goats
on a stable ROOF. 4 feel as If | coaid lift
myself by my boot-siraps TO the hight of
a church steeple, or run like an old stage
horse in 9 green pasture. As the mean
pup bankers after sweet milk, SO do I
banker after your presence. And as the
costing swimmeth in the mud puddle, 50
do 1 swim in a sea of d~elightfuiness when
you are near me. Ny heart fops up and
down like a churn-dashcr aud my eyes
stand open like cellar doors in q country
town; and II ms love is not r~eciproea,ed.
I will pine away and die like a poisoned
bed-bug, and you can ON and catch a
cold on my grave

The Eve OF the Ball.

The orb Of day had sank to rest in
its halo of golden light beneath tile
grand old hills which skirt the west
ern confines of Missouri Gulch. The
gathering shades Of twilight we're fast
enveloping the spacious mansion Of
Dennis Mulcahy, when MS beautiful
daughter Angelina entered with
queenly grace the luxurianuy fur.
nished drawing room, and with that
neglige which only caste can give,
threw herself upon the downy cush.
ions of a three-legged Windsor chair.
The stalwart form of Reginald
Harcourt O'Reilly darkened the door
and the fair young girl sprang to his
side and was quickly enwrapt in those
strong, brave arms. Her fawn like
eyes gazed into the depths of Regin
AIDS and as he imprinted q kiss upor
her low, broad brow, she asked witt
tender pathos:
"O'Reily, wud ye take me to tn
ball mask"
''Bedad, an you'll niver be owe
wild yer foolishin' faith, an wha
wud We be wearin!''
"Oh, Reggie, me naber. Miss Ma
looney has been teliin I'd look beau
tiful in the ~charaekther Nv the leadil
lady in the Holy Bible"
Reginald's noble features wer
suffused with crimson as be held he
from him and said:
"Get out wild We, now divii q bi
wud they let We in"
i She meant Martha at the well.

American Newspapers in 1883.

From the new edition of Messrs.

NEWSPAPER DIREcToRY, which is now
in press. it appears that the newspa-
pers and periodicals of all kinds issu-
ed in the United States and territories
now reach the imposing total of H.
1876. This is an increase of $50 i'm
twelve months time. Taking the
States one by one, the newspaper
