Do not produce sickness at the stomach, nausea
or gripping, On the contrary, they are so mild
and agreeable in their action that person suffer-
ing with sick headache, sour stomach, or pain
in the bowels, IS speedily relieved of these dis
,ressing symptoms, They act directly on the
liver. the organ which, when in healthy condi,
ton, purifes the blood for the whole body.
They are a perfect preparation OF that great and
well-known remedy, Mandrake or Podophyllin a
remedy that has displaced the use OF mercury. as
well as many other poisonous drugs, in the prac.
,ice OF every intelligent physician.
Prof John King, Of the College Of Medicine, OF
Cincinnati, says In Constipation II acts upon
the bowels without dsposing them to subsequent
costiveness. In Chronic Liver Complaint there is
not its equal in the whole range OF medicines, be-
ing vastly more useful than rnercurial agents,
arousng the liver TO healthy action, increasing
the flow OF bile, and keeping up these actions
longer than any other agent with which we are
acquainted" tSee American Dispensatory, page

WOmanly MOdesty.

Man loves the mysterious A cloud
less sky and full blown rose leaves
him unmoved; but the violet which hides
its blushing beauties behind the bush,
and the moon when emerging from be-
hind cloud, are to him sources of in
spiration and of pleasure. Modesty is
to merit what shade is to figure in
painting-it gives boldness and promi-
hence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty. 1t sheds around
the countenance halo of light which
is borrowed from virtue. Botanists
have given the rosy hue which tinges
the cup of the white roses the name of
the "maiden blush" This pure and
delicate hue is the only paint Christian
virtue should use. 1t is the richest or
nament A woman without modesty is
like faded flower diffusing an unwhole-
some odor, which the prudent gardener
win throw from him. Her destiny is
melancholy, for it terminates in shame
and repentance. Beauty passes like the
flower of the Abe, which bloom and die
in few hours; but modesty gives the
female charms which supply the place
of the transitory freshness of youth.

his tent and built his rude log cabin
This cabin is still standing and is point
ed out to strangers as the original hut
of the famous pioneer. One would
think that as an interesting link that
connects the present with the past, and
as historic reminder of the early DAYS
in Missouri, the rude building would
be safely guarded and protected, but
instead of this it has been put to the
basest uses. At present it is used as
a chicken coop; the feathered occu-

markable man. Not only does it contain
all the standard classical works on hist
DRY. science, finance and the usual col

but In certain glass cases, well guarded
with strong wire network outside, tones
OF immense value and great age, and
many an inditio princeps which would
delight the heart of a bibliophile. This
room is the one holy of holes of the
millionaire, the mysterious chamber
which Bluebeard forbade even the wife
of his bosom TO enter. No person ex.
cept Mr.. Gould is allowed to touch his
precious books, even his factotum,
Morosini, avoiding that dangerous
ground. With all his business cares.
Mr.. Gould is a close student, and is
singularly well versed in general litera-
ture. A well-known New York lawyer
once said of him that he was the best
authority on the law of corporations in
the United States.

Men Who Influence their Age.

Inc course of history is not mere
game played by few great men; nor
yet does 1t run in an inflexible groove
which no single man can turn aside.
The great man Influences his age, but
at the same time he is infienced by his
age. Some of the greatest of men, as
lar as their natural gifts went, have
Deen useless or mischievous, because
they have been out of gear with their
own age. Their own age could not re-
ceive them, and they could not make
their age other than what it was. The
most useful kind of great men is he
who Is just SO far in advance of his age
that ms age can accept him as its lead
er ana teacher. Men of this kind are
themselves part of the course of events;
they guide it, make it 60 quicker or
slower, but they do not thwart it. Can
we, for instance, overrate the gain
which came to the newborn federation
of America by finding such a man as
Washington ready made to its handp
Or take men of quite another stamp
from the Virginian deliverer. The
course OF our history for the last eight
hundred years has been largely affected
| py the fact not only that we underwent
q foreign conquest, but that we UNDER
went foreign conquest of particular
KIND, such as could be wrought only by
a man OF particular kind. The course
OF our history for the last three hundred
years has been largely affected by the
fact that when English freedom was in
the greatest danger, England fell into
the hands of tyrant whose special
humor 1t was to carry on his tyranny
under the forms of the law English
history could not have been what it has
been if William the Conqneror and
Henry VIII. had been men other than
they were. One bushes to put the two
names together. William was great in
himself, and must have been great in
any time or place. Henry, man not
without great gifts, but surely not a
great man, was made important by
| circumstances in the time and place in
which he lived. But each influenced
the course of events by his personal
character. But they influenced events
only in the sense of guiding, strength
ening, and quickening some tendencies
and keeping others back for while.
| Neither OF them, nor Washington either,
| belong to that class of men who, for
good or for evil, turn the world upside
down, the great destroyers and the
| great creators of history.

Judging People by What They Read.

A newsstand at central point or a
much travelled thoroughfare is a good
criterion of the intellectual character of
people who pass that way. Take Full
ton and Hamilton ferries, for instance.
On the newsstand at Fulton ferry, by
which the better class of educated Brook
lynites pass to and from their homes of
more than the average in style and CON-
fort, there may be found the daily pa
pers, the best weeklies, and the first
class magazines, together with current
and standard novels bound in paper.
BY way of Hamilton Ferry the working
classes pass to humber homes; and the
newsinan there finds his profit in selling
the penny and 2-cent papers, and such
light literature as negro minstrel song
books, exposures of freemasonry, adj
ventures of highwaymen, and the novels
of Dumas and Sue and Munro's publ.
cations. Probably the poverty rather
than the taste of his customers dictates
his sorry collection, but the newsman al

of the intellectual calibre of his custom

Study the Grasses.

The Ohio Farmer: Farmers should
study grasses more. Ascertain what
species grow naturally on the farm, and
study their character. Observe which
stands drouth best, which prefers dry
or wet soil, which stock like best and
which they thrive on best. There is
no doubt that we lose much every year
by neglecting to cultivate those grasses
naturally adapted to our soils. Over
200 species are cultivated in England,
while we confine ourselves to dozen at
most. Timothy, red top, blue grass,
orchard grasses cultivated ON nine
farms out of ten. While there are sup
erior kinds, as a general rule, there are
soils and conditions where other grasses
would be more profitable, and in per-
manent pastures they would also in
crease the amount and quality, and pro-
long the grazing season."

Life ut Long Branch.

Long Branch may stand as an ex-
ample of the hustle, life and gayety
that summer brings to the whole line
of beach and bluffs facing seaward
along the Atlantic coast, and the gayety
deepens with the night. Music swelis
out on every side and mingles with the
monotone of the waves dashing on the
beach, and the broad drives palpitate
with the clatter of hoofs. Sudden
visions of white drapery and pretty
faces burst into view, sweep past and
fade away into the darkness. Against
the glowing background of lightened
interiors gaily dressed figures are out
lined on porch and balcony, and the
whole world seems bent upon keeping
holiday.

"reminiscences Of Judge Back.

His domestic life was charming. He
was the friend and comrade of his
children, he fed their minds from his
own well-furnished stOrehouse, and he
made them all familiar with the litera-
ture of which he was a master. 1t
must be a happy family that can listen
constantly to the talk of such man as
Judge Black, who could keep men out
of bed all night with his delightful con-
versation. Shakespeare, Milton, and
the Bible were always his favorite books,
and he was so familiar with them that
he talked ANONYMOUSLY in their Eng
fish. But he was everything. He de-
lighted in fiction. No book that a hu-
man being ever wrote was beneath his
reading. He loved to read the thoughts
OF the story as he loved to listen to the
prattlings of pretty girls, with whom
believe he was great favorite. The
struggles of people who were endeavor-
ing to think seemed always to be inter-
esting to him. Immature or rudiment-
airy mental efforts were very amusing
to him.
He had once a partner in Pennsyl-
vania, fair lawyer and good man of
business. The judge always had a
copy of Shakespeare in his office, and
one day he said to his partner: .'Simon,
have you ever read Shakspeare?'' No,
he newer had "You know who he
was, don't you?'' .'Oh, yes,'' said
Simon, 81 know he was an Englishman,
and wrote some poetry and plays"
'Well, now, Simon" said the Judge,
take that Shakespeare home with YOU
and read some of the plays in the eve-
ming when you have leisure. Read
Hamlet and Macbeth and Lear and
'Othello,' and then let me know what
you think of tham.' Simon did as he
was hidden, and, after keeping the
volume some weeks, brought it back.
well, Simon." asked the judge, .did
you read any of the playsP" Eyes,
answered Simon, ga few what
did YOU think of them?" "Why,
judge" was the response, .'some of
those plays are not bad" The Judge
used to tell this story later years with
delight. 1t was the same man of whom
the judge said: He has just the quail
ity that lack, He can charge fee
Why, Simon can charge a bigger fee
than another lawyer would have
dreamed of daring to charge, and then
send the man away with tears of graft
tude in his eyes because he had charg-
ed him so little. So well known was
Judge Blacks absent mindedness that
when he asked his friends to dine, and
did not appear at the appointed time,
if the place were at public house the
guests would begin their dinner with
out him. The chances were that he
would appear before they had finished.
