A group Of boys stood on street
corner discussing their chances OF sue
cess in answering an advertisement
for an errand boy i'll wholesale dry
goods house near by. Their names
and addresses had already been regis
tered, and they were sent off with the
remark that the "best would be sent
for when wanted"
While they stood talking, an old
man, with hair white as snow, bowed
back, and trembling hands, came slow
ly and unsteadily down the street, the
only support to his feeble hands being
his stout cane. When short distance
from the boys, the cane dropped from
his hand and rolled in the gutter.
''Look here, Billy" said one Of the
boys, ''the old man is swamped.'
At this all the boys but one broke
out into a laugh.
But Harry Wilton looked serious,
picked up the cane, wiped the mud
and water from it, and handed it back
to the old man, touching his cap re-
spectfully as he said:
"Can / help you, sir?"
"Thank you; you may help me
across the street" replied the old man.
And Harry, taking him by the hand,
helped him over the crossing, and
opened the door of the store for him
to enter.
Once inside, he was led to an easy
chair in the private office.
"Well, father, [ have large list Of
names to select from" said the mer-
chant in answer to his fathers ques-
ton. 'They all seem intelligent
Suppose you summon. them all
here, and see If cannot help you"
So postal card was sent to each
boy to appear the next day; and at
the appointed time they were on hand.
When they were all gathered, the
old gentleman adjusted his glasses. and
said that before the selection would
be made he would tell them a story.
And he told of the incident of the day
before, and closed by asking if that
boy was present.
''Please, sir" said one Of the boys,
''that was Harry Walton, and he's
here"
"Then, James," said he, turning to
his son, "that's the boy for u.s.
The rest of the boys looked con-
fused, and as, the old gentleman con-
cluded his lecture ON politeness, de-
parted with the determination to be
more polite in future.
It costs nothing to cultivate good
and it pays to have them.
The boy or girl who is polite and
civil to every one is always sure to
succeed in winning the respect and
confidence OF the public and in getting
along in the world. Try it and see.-

The Sc6urge of Quackery.

The Boston Journal Of Chemistry
sets the following admonition before
the public ltshould be repeated fre-
quently:
The amount Of money paid to med
ical quacks in this and other cities
every year is much greater than is sup
posed, and the ingenious ways In
which large sums are extorted from
their frightened dupes should be bet
ter understood, not only by those who
are in danger Of becoming their VIC
tins, but by the officers of the law.
We recently became cognizant OF a
case, which, although fragrant and
cruel to the last degree, is no worse
than hundreds of others occurring ev-
cry day. in the dens of these thieves
through some Of the less frequented
streets of the city.
A gentleman, who had in his en-
ploy a young man of industrious hab-
its and upright character, recently
| called upon us and stated that he
feared the young man had fallen into
the hands of quack in the city, who
was taking all his earnings, and en-
deavoring to fleece him of every dol
lar of his property. He had solicited
the loan of seven hundred dollars,
which he confessed he desired to pay
to French doctor O., who proposed
to cure him Of a dangerous disease
The gentleman desired US to aid him
in attempts to save the victim from
the clutches of the quacks, and, as he
had been unable to influence him, pro-
posed that we allow him an interview.
This we did, and learned that the
young man really had no disease what
ever; that fancying he was sick, from
reading the advertisements in news
paper, he called upon the advertising
doctor, who, after humping his ribs
and sounding" him with a stetho-
scope, pronounced him "far gone" in
consumption. He had already been
taking his nostrums six months, pay
ing large sums therefor; but at the
last visit to the great French doctor,
he had discovered another disease,
which he could not undertake to cure
for less than 81 1000, cash in hand. As
a special favor to him, however, he
would cure the malady for 800 in ad-
vance; and this sum he was endeavor-
ing to raise by mortgaging his little
property and rendering himself al
most penniless. The quack was very
urgent, telling him that 'death stared
him in the face" and if he did not
raise the money at once and commence
with his medicines, it would soon be
too late.
The young man, of fair intelligence,
was completely deluded and thorough
ly frightened by the artful quack, and
it required much skill and effort to un-
deceive him. 1t is, indeed, strange
that persons possessing a common
school education can fall into such
traps; and yet there are thousands
bound hand and foot to these misera-
BILE advertising quacks, who, operating
through their fears, are extorting from
them every dollar they possess. The
sums taken are often very large, and
the iniquity is of no mean proper
tions. To detect and punish these Of
tenders is a difficult matter, but it
does seem that some plan might be de-
vised by which the cities and large
towns might be rid of class of i'm
posters, more dangerous and unspar-
ing than midnight robbers.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as
furred tongue, vomiting OF bile,
giddiness, sick headache, ir-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
cretes the bile and acts like a
filter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. By irregu-
larity in it's action or Suspen-
siOnS of its functions, the bile
is liable to overflow into the
blood, causing jaundiee, sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
iOuS diarphGa, a 1anguid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection Of the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by the
grand regulator of the liver
and hillary organs, BURDOCK
BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the culvepts

of disease. Sold everywhere
