DADDY DAVE BY MARY FRANCES. New

street 80 cents From the Dublishers

A novelette, of the south, before, during,
and after the rebellion. 1t possesses much
truth, pathos, and power. Such charac-
ter as "Daddy Dave" every one at all ac-
quainted with that region has known--a
faithful servant, devoted to the master and
mistress, and steadily following their for
tunes, whether prosperous or adverse, and
also whether In slavery or freedom. The
pictures Of plantation life are correctly
drawn and colored, literal In presentation
and without exaggeration. Very simply,
indeed, lovingly, and naturally Is the min
gled story told-mlngled, being OF peace
and war, bondage and liberty.

TAKE YOUR WIFEs ADVICE.
How many Wen are Ruined anu
why Female Instinct il often better
than Masculine Reason.

Many a well-meaning man has been ruin
ed before now, because he failed to take his
wife's advice. Some friend may have persua-
ded him to go into business venture which
his wife's finer instincts told her was not
good one, but he neglected her suggestions
and lost his money. Many q man has pooh
poohed at his wife's suggestion hat he take
better care of his health, and only when he
has been brought to bed of sickness or per-
haps of death, has he seen how sincere and
good that advice was. Many men have felt
bad taste in the mouth, dull pain in the
head, lack of energy through the entire
system, sluggish liver, no appetite and yet
have neglected to take their wife's advice to
drive away these evils. They sought re-
newal OF energy by drinking or allowing
these symptoms to run into disease and dis
ease into death, when it might all have been
avoided had they taken their wife's advice.
A well-tO-do resident of Baltimore who
keeps grocery store on Eutaw Street, new
er went home to his family at night without
feeling all tired out, with no appetite for his
supper and no taste for enjoyment with his
family. His wife's quick instincts noticed
his gradual decline and she urged him to
take preparation for such troubles, which
she had heard many of her friends and neigh
bors speak most highly Of. He ridiculed the
idea; said he was only feeling little poor
ly, and would be better in a few days; but
in few days he was worse and in a few
weeks he was in bed and the doctor shaking
his head most solemnly. Then he consent
ed to take his wifes advice and in less than
ten days he was back to business, was strong
and vigorous, and has been kept in perfect
health ever since, wholly by the use of Volt
ma Cordial. This remarkable preparation,
which has awakened such interest in the To-
calities where it has been best known seems
to be working a wonderful change in the
health and energy of the people who are
weakened by disease, overburdened by care,
or broken down by overwork 1t is rccomend-
ed by the greatest scientific authorities, as the
best tonic and gentle stimulator known, and
the wonderful results it is achieving, prove
that these recommendations are most true.
