Worthy Of Note.

A correspondent writes: Miss Mary Blair, a member of Dwight Place church, is cer- tainly au example of what the consistent Christian should be. Last Sunday was the
 first time in twenty years she has missed at tending church on, the Sabbath. Surely such an example cannot be without it's eff fects for good in any church, and were there more such sincere and earnest Christians among church members in general, there would be less cause for excuse by our young people when called upon to attend divine worship. There are not many people in New Haven, we think, who can say they have at tended church every Sunday for twenty years, and then been kept away for one Sun day only by sickness Would there were more such devout people in our churches.

Copied from a Portrait 2SO Years Old.
 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank or Americas public benefactors. But greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache; no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irTitable and peevish temper; bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you? You have fallen a victim. to that modern scourge, Matars0. Nothing on this earth will tone youcup so quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and ali forms of Malaria.
