To the Brockway Centre Bachelors.
1t is rs lamentable rs it is strange
that there are in tins village so many
old "young men," Why is it, we
ask, that With; there arc number
of marriagcable young ladies in our
midst, each, no donbt, waiting for
an opportunity 10 make some man
happy, that there are so many seedy
looking old bachelors among us at
tempting to perpetuate their youth
full appearance by the use of artiiic-
ial teeth and the diligent application
of chair dyes" and chair invigora-
tors? Why do they remain i'll this
lonesome and unhappy condition,
gazing with fearful eyes upon their
fading locks and almost hairless
scalps, when they might be in the
enjoyment of domestic Felicity,
the only bliss of Paradise that sur-
vived the Fall" and with glad hearts
and easy minds, their locks would
retain their youthful hue and vigor.
We would no longer see upon our
streets so many fading locks and
bare and glossy scalps. Mr.. Bache-
lor, look around you and see what
inroads the widower is making upon
you. Whoever knew n widower to
remain single longer than he was
compelled TO-, while making the most
energetic efforts to double. The
widower has enjoyed the comforts
of married life and wisely seeks to
enjoy them again, and while in your
timidity you are standing around
attempting to screw up your cour-
age enough to-for the first time
ask fair young lady for the privi-
lege of escorting her home from
church, courageous widower steps
in and takes her away. While you,
Mr.. Bachelor, have not the courag &C
to get to the front with a full house,
a bold widower will bluff you off
and rake in the pot with al insignlfi
cant pair of deuces. Oh, bachelor!
If once in the enjoyment of domestic
happiness you could, from the bottom
of your glad heart, exclaim in the
language of the poet: 'I'3e touched
the highest point of all my great
ness, and from the full meridian OF
my gloryI haste now to my setting.
When married, you will truthfully
say,
"a happy life long have sought;
But until now found il not"
| If you have not waited until yol
have become so old, dried up, bleach
ed out and permanently disfgured
by your age and unhappy condition
that no one will have you; if yo'
have not let your last chance sill
through your fingers and have wait
cd until you are inevitably doomed
for life to that terrible condition
"single wretchsdness," take to your
Il
self partner and be happy. Brace
up! Get to the front and do some
thing for your country, you antiquat
ed specimens of the rising genera
ton. MAUD S.

KEEP 1T PURE.
THE LIFE is THE BLooD-PREvENT DIS.
EAsE-SURGERY THE LAST REsoRT-A
TELLING LETTER.

Here H. q fact for YOU TO think over, viz.
Medical science proves that diseases, no
matter how great a variety they seem to have,
proceed from comparatively few causes. Ii
IL for this reason that some sirgle medicines
relieve or cure so wide range OF complaints
some of them appearing almost directly
opposite in their nstures. When medical
preparation acts at once upon the digestive
ana urinary organs, and also purifes the
blood. the list Of difficulties subject to its
control is astonishing. But, while many
things are said to POSSESS this power, these
which actually do exert il are very rare.
Ii is cOnceded that Dr.KeDnedy's Favorite
Remedy, of Rordout, N. Y, is the most
effective preparation now IN use for all dis
esses arising from d foul or impure state of
tho circulation. Hence ii is more than likely
that If the writer OF the following letter had
habitually taken "Favorite Remedy" ten
years ago, he would never have suffered
from Cancer.
Fittsfeld, Mass, March 90, 1854.
DIR. ID. Kennedy. Roudout, N. Y:
Dear Sir:-About six years ago / was
obliged To resort TO external treatment tor
the removal of cancerous growth ON my
lip. On my return home, became sensible
that my blood needed a thorough cleansing
My whole system, too. required toniug up
While casting about for the hest medicine 10
do this, your "Favoriie Remedy" was so
highly con mended in my hearing that re.
solved 10 try II. / did so, and the result
surprised me, il was effected so quickly and
completely. L soon got over the depression
produced by the operation, and since the
"Favorite Remedy" which have continued
to take IN small doses. has kept me in such
health aud strength as | never had before,
nor expected to have. IL is the best blood
purifier ia the world. ! am sure OF that,
Yours, &c.,
