A Coon INvEsTMENT.-One of our
prominent business men said to US the
other day: ''In the spring my wife got
all run down and could not eat any
thing; passing your store ! saw a pile
of Hoods Sarsaparilla in the window,

THE DOOMED MAN.
BY THE REV. J. A. ALEXANDER, D. I

7 THE REV. J. A. ALEXANDER, D.
There is time, we know not when,
point, we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men,
To glory or despair.
There is a line, by us unseen,
That crosses every path,
The hidden boundary between
Gods patience and his wrath
To pass that limit is to die
To die as If by stealth;
1t does not quench the beaming eye,
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be still at ease,
The spirits light and gay;
That which is pleasing, still may please,
And care be thrust away.
But on that forehead God has set,
Indelfbly mark
Unseen by man, for man as yet
Is blind, and IN the dark.
And yet the doomed mans path below,
Like Eden may have bloomed-
He did not, does not, will not know
Or feel that he is doomed.
He knows, he feels that all is well,
And every fear is calmed;
He lives, he dies. he wakes in hell,
Not only doomed, but damned!
O!where is this mysterious bourn,
BY which our path is crossed;
Beyond which God himself hath sworn,
That he who goes is lost?
How far may we go on in sin?
How long viii God forbearp
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?
An answer from the skies is sent
Ye that from God depart,
While it is called to-day, repent,
And harden not your heart.

No other medicine is SO reliable as
Ayers Cherry Pectoral for colds,
coughs. and all arrangements Of the
respiratory organs tending toward
consumption. In all ordinary cases
it is a certain cure, and it affords sure
relief for the asthmatic and consump-
tive, even in advanced stages Of dis
ease.

Il well be poisoned, woe be to
those who drink thereat. 1t is worse
to poison the fountain Of life for ones
self, and for posterity. Often by
carelessness, or misfortune, or inherit
ance, this has been done. Ayers Sar-
saparilla frees the blood, the vital
stream, and restores appetite, strength
and health.

The retention Of any waste matter
in the system produces injury. The
collection Of "phlegm" or diseased
mucus in time Of cold or throat affec-
tion should be promptly removed. DR..
Bulls Cough Syrup does it more
quickly and effectually than any other
cough syrup made.

Tn the Pilot House.

"Yes, sir. this kind of work obliges q man to
keep sober as judge, OF all men in the world,
steamboat pilots and railroad engineers should
let liquor alone. For on their clearness Of sight
and coolness Of head depends the safety of life
and property"
Keeping his hand on the wheel as he said this
Mr.. A. Brockman, of No. 291a Silver street, Chi
cago, added: "Of course, some of 'em drink ;but
best pay. Yes, the work and exposure some
times tells on us; but for my part, find PAR
KER'S Tonic to be all the invigorantI need.
L got a bottle aboard here now; never go on q
trip without it, When haven'I any appetite
or am in any way out of sorts, it sets me up In
no time. II drinking men would use the Tonic
it would help 'em TO break off. (No, that isn't
light house; it's star, low down near the wa
ter.) AS was saying, the Tonic is new life bot
tied up. You see that Flagstaff? Well, with q
bottle of PARKER'SiToNIC in the locker ! can
keep malaria as far from me as that all the
time. My wife has used it for three years for
summer complaint and collie, and as an invtgo-
rant, when she's tired out from Overwork. She
says the Tonic is q daisy. Good-byel Don't
break your neck going below.
This preparation which has been known as
vertised and sold simply under the name of
PARKER's TONIC. AS unprincipaled dealers are
constantly deceiving their custmers by substi-
tuting inferior articles under the name of GIN
ger and as ginger is really an unimportant in
gredient, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepara-
ton, itself, and all bottles remaining in the
PARKER'S GINGER Tonic, contain the genuine
medicine if the fac-simile signature of HISCox
& Co, is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.

To the Editors of the Standards
Once more [ inclose a dollar for the
Standard. You will please excuse my
hardness. [ have been sick all winter,
from the effects Of a severe cold.
Part of the time l was only able to
walk across the room, but | am now
better, with fair prospect Of gaining
my usual health.
The Standard still comes, and al
ways has something interesting to me.
The mention of any one [ ever knew
affords me pleasure.
We had call by DR.. D. A. Hoff-
man, Of Oskaloosa, Iowa. We had a
talk about the old folks in Jackson.
The DR.. has warm, generous heart,
and can suit himself to the most COM
mon company. He was very favora-
bly, impressed with Concordia and
thinks if he ever leaves Iowa he might
locate here. To him, next to a kind
Providence, | think l am more indebt-
ed than to any one else for my recov-
cry. He has son r. c., practicing
physician, now on tour in the
South.
The last, but not the least pleasant
visit was by my nephew, Norman
Mackley, brother Andrews youngest
son. He is fine looking man, and Of
very fair natural ability, and is the
largest of the name [ ever saw. He
stands over six feet.
Brother Solomon's and brother An
drew's wives are both dead.
need not tell you we have had
some cold weather this winter. The
coolest, however, by our thermometer,
was only 16 below zero. There has
been no rain, and but little snow.
The roads dry and dusty all winter.

The very best remedy that can be
compounded from our present knowl-
edge Of drugs, for colds, coughs, asth-
ma, bronchitis, and other lung diseas-
es, is DR.. Wistar's Balsam Of Wild
Cherry. 1t has cured many cases of
consumption when all other remedies
had failed. A single spoonful will
cure an ordinary cough or cold, and
give instant relief to asthma. It is
soothing, healing and strengthening
to throat and lungs and is very pleas
ant to take. 7feb2W

Drunkenness Cured.

1t is generally presumed that when
man has been cured once Of some
infrmity Or complication Of diseases
by the use of our medicine, that he
knows good thing when he sees it.
It is stated by those who know that a
monkey cannot be induced to partake
a second time Of any drink which con-
tains alcohol. 1t appears as if the
memory Of the pangs and tortures
first inflicted exert a beneficial infu-
ence upon the animal. Man is quite
different in this regard, and q glance
about US will show that numbers Of
our friends and neighbors are daily
becoming the worse by the use Of in
toxicants. This can be remedied by
the moderate use Of a we'll known
remedy called PERUNA. If the
medicine is taken daily, the appetite
for liquor will be finally removed, and
the patient, no matter what his pre-
vious condition, will be restored to So
briefly and to society. Yes, PERUNA
is great medicine, and should be used
by all. Send for it. 7feb2w
A complete cure for that debilitat-
ing drain that indicates a weakness of
the urinary organs, nasal catarrh and
other evidences Of a diseased mucous
membrane may be found in the use
Of DIR. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaprilla. Don't be frightened by
the advertisements of quack doctors.
This remedy will purify the blood
strengthen the parts affected, heal all
irritation Of the mucous membrane,
and remove every symptom Of the dis
orders. It is a sure cure for nervous
debility and general i'll health.

In the beginning Of the year it is
well to form good resolutions, with
one at the head of the list which pro-

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Six months ago was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. Tho
humor caused an ineessant and intolerab!e
itching, and the skin cracked SO as to causo
the blood to flow in many places whenever
/ moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life burden. 1 commenced the use of the
SARsAPARILLA in April last, and have used
1t regularly since that time. Ely condition
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and / feel perfectly well in every
respect-being now able to do a good days
work, although 73 yaars of age. Many inquire
what has wrought such cure in my case, and

Never wet your fingers to turn over
a leaf. Be warned by the fate of the
king in the Arabian tale. Never turn
down a corner of a page to hold your
place. Never put in a soiled card.
or a stained envelope, or a bit of dir
ty string, or a piece of damp news
paper. Always use a regular book
mark. The simplest, and n of the
best, is acard as large as a small visit
ing card. By cutting this twice lon
gitudinally from one end almost to the
other, you will have a three-legged
bookmark which rides a-straddIe on
the page, ms leg on the page below
and two on the page you wish the
book to open at.
Never allow your books to get damp,
as they may mildew. Never allow
them to get hot, as the boards may
warp, and the leather may crack.
Never put them on a shelf high UP
near the ceiling lighted with gas, as
the results of gas combustion are high
" injurious. Never put books with
metal clasps or with decorative nails
on the shelves by the side of other
books, for the delicate bindings of the
other books will suffer. Put all such
h~edgehogs of books in drawers and
trays by themselves.
It is best not to cover the books of a
library with paper. As MI. VIM. F.
Poole puts it, sthe covering is expen-
sive, troublesome, and quite as much
an injury al a protection to book.
A book covered with paper is likely to
need reminding sooner than if it be not
covered" A room full of books
covered with paper is dull and monet
onous; and no one who has ever glanc-
ed into such q room will be inclined to
disagree with Mr.. Poole when he says
that .sbooks lose their individuality
by being covered" This is only an
aesthetic disadvantage; II also reduces
the usefulness Of the books, as they
are less easily handled and kept apart
and in order. However, it may be
well to cover children's school books,
but with muslin, not paper.
Never attempt TO classify books On
your shelves BY the colors of the bind
ings, OF By the sizes of the books them
selves. Put the works Of "a author

that the grains and nuggets found in

Quaint auction Scenes.

Although the free Hanseatic City OF
Bremen has gradually done away with
many of her traditional prerogatives,
yet does she cling to some OF them to
this day. The Senators no longer wear
Spanish cloaks or wigs, but the so
called Council messengers still appear
on solemn occasions in flaming red
coats, knee-breeches, white stockings,
and side swords. The gates are no
longer closed at night, nor are the bells
rung on the outbreak of a fire but the
"Rathskeller" is %punctually closed at
1890 2. m, and nobody is allowed to
enter the sacred precincts after that
hour. With remarkable tenacity, how
ever, the good Bremeners adhere to the
ancient custom of the so-called 'sburn.
ing CANDLE" by the light of which all
peremptory sales of real estate take
place to this day, as may be seen every
Friday in a hall over the old Exchange.
At one end of a long table is seated a
Judge and scribe, at the other stands
the City Crier, and by his side aCoun-
ell messenger in flaming red dress hold
ing a stable lantern. In his hand he
has a box filed with ends of small can
dies that can burn but a few minutes,
and which he has to light one after the
other until no other bid is made before
the candle goes out, in which a the
last and of course highest bidder be-
comes the owner of the estate. As late
as the beginning Of this century every
person who oyerbid another while the
candle was still burning, thereby put
ting up the price, received a gratifica-
ton of a so-called 'fine third" equal
to about two marks. Frequently some
porters or errand mel would come in
and bid in order to turn an honest PEN
ny by going for the fine third" al
though they ran the risk of some
weeks Imprisonment, If by chance the
candle went out and they thus re-
manned the last bidders without being
able to pay for the property knocked
down to them on account. It is COM
ical sight to enter the hall just at the
moment when one bidder has silenced
a competitor. AL eyes turn to the bit
of candle in the lantern, which grows
smaller and smaller hardly a breath is
drawn the company looks as If they
were petrified. Suddenly there comes
another bid, another candle is lighted,
and the comedy is repeated until final
~ the extinction of a candle has fas-
tened the sale upon the last bidder.
This custom of the ssburning candle
may be justly termed one Of the pecu-
liarities of Bremen, there being but
few, if any, other German cities or
towns in which this ancient custom
still obtains.
