AYERS PILLS.

A large proportion of tho diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARrIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
tiOn, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentsry,
and host of other ailments, for all of
which they are q safe, sure, prompt. and
pleasant remedy The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows Enthusiastically tho estimation in
which they arc held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded Of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
ealomel OF any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes;
"AYERs PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion; ! have been
severe sufferer from Headache, and your
PILLS are the only thing could look TO
FOR relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. they
are the most effective and the easiest physic
have ever found 1t is n pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and always do so
when occasion oilers.

from Atlanta, &C., says: "For some years
past have been subject to constipation,
from Which, in spite of tho use of medi-
cines of various kinds, suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected tho costiye habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregu-

tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to tho

That uncertain thing, the balance
OF trade, is playing queer pranks.-
From February to October, 1882, it
was against the United States. From
October to the end Of the year our
trade was very prosperous. The bal
ance in January was over $40, 600, 900
in our favor. In April it was less
than $4,0OO.OOO. If the wheat crop
should be as short as is now feared,
the balance of trade will likely to be
against us, perhaps until another
crop comes around.

Rule Of Party Action.

Our system of party action tends
constantly to personal rule in politics.
That is, the constant tendency is to
make every political party, pwticular-
ly when IN the ascendant, a personal
party. This is the origin of "boss-
ism." The man who gets the control
Of q party into his hands is apt TO use
it to strengthen his own power. The
history Of the Republican party fur
nishes instances enough to support
tAis statement. Resistance to the
system is the only recourse, if men
would maintain any sort OF opposi-
tion to party abuses supported by
the rigorB Of party despotism. 1t is
no mitigation Of this despotism to
say that, after all, it is only the rule
Of party; for the rule of a personal
party-that is Of party controlled
in the interest of "boss" and his
adherents-is only the rule of a des-
pot. Nothing else can be made of it.
It is said by thoughtful writer
chat the era of craftsmanship began
70 decline when the spoils system was
established; that managers succeeded
leaders, and that wire-pullers climbed
into positions which political think
ers, orators and philosophers had
been called upon to ell. In every
one Of our States, perhaps, though in
come to greater extent than in
Others history fully bears out this
statement. Combinations are made
to control party '.for all there is in
it." there is close alliance for posses
sion and distribution of offices, con-
tracts and whatever else may be made
sources Of profit and gain, attended
with an energetic use of the party
whip TO reach the result Party action,
thns controlled, is degraded to the
status and effort OF an organized ap-
petite for places and spoils. And
then the citizen and voter is told that
he must not object to this low system
Of politics and party action, for if he
does he viii '.rain the party"
The mistake consists in regarding
party as an end rather than a means.
We are not to sustain party for its
own sake, but for its use as an In
strument to reach certain desirable
ends. Party is voluntary association
Of men united to promote the public
interest upon certain lines upon which
o majority are honestly agreed.
The lealth, vigor and usefulness of
party depend on the freedom with
which its members criticise it, and
their fearlessness to take action
Thus it is kept from departing from
It's true objects. And the thing most
feared BY the men who make trade
OF politics, and who are constantly
presenting the party with the narrow
alternative Of supporting them or de-
fsating sthe cause is fearless criti-
cism and exposure of unfair methods.
They are by no means the worst par
y men who take measures to check
party abuses and to keep their party
in the line of its approved objects.

Men admire women simply because

Men admire women simply because
they are women. Because they are
delicate, refined, pure and clinging
in their natures. She is fragile; he
is strong and he loves and protects
her because she is fragile and he is
strong. There is no man, unless he
is very feminine in his nature, who
admires maseulinity in woman, and
the very moment she unsexes herself
and dons the toga virilis, that mo-
ment her influence for good is gone
forever. She rules the world, but
not from the pulpit or the rostruln;
but does it by tenderness and love
from her throne in the heart of man.
kind. She accomplishes more by the
clinging arms, the tear-flled eye of
love, and the soft accents of admoni-
ton, and the pure prayer at the
hearthstone, than she would accom-
plish by an eternity of public prayers.
Woman's path and duty is clearly
marked out in Holy Writ, and God
grant she be not swerved from it by
the Siren voice of nineteenth century
progress. No comparison should
ever be drawn between the mental
qualifications of man and woman
There is a glory of the one and
glory of the other, just as there is a
glory of the sun and one of the moon.
God has appointed sphere of action
for the one and for the other, and
they do not clash. The pure empire
of home, heart and love has been
given to woman, and there she is the
queen omnipitant-the empress reg
nant.
Men must be harangued and push
ed forward to perform their duty, but
not SO with women. They know what
it is far better than any man can tell
them, and knowing it, they push for
ward and perform it. They know
that their duties and influences are
not in the public assemblies, in the
pulpit, or on the stump, but they
permeate every vein and artery of
society, and while men are perform
ing the rougher duties of life, wo-
mans sweet tones, like the small still
voice, are echoed in every heart, and
from every freside and home her eff
forts are silently sending forth the
hfe-blood that strengthens and puri-
fies the moral nature. Woman knows
and appreciates the hallowed position
of glory she occupies in society, and
the voice of the enthusiast or dema-
gogue cannot lure her into the storm
and strife of this vile world. Con. |
