A REMEDY.

It's with especial pleasure that we
call the attention of our customers to
Chambcrlain's Cough Remedy. After
fifteen years Of constant use il has be-
come very popular. 1t has gradually
worked its way into public favor by its
remarkable cures of throat and lung
diseases and by people who have been
cured by its recommending it 10 their
friends and neighbors. No one suffer
ing from throat or lung trouble can
use it without benefit. 1t will cure IA
severe cold in less time than by any
other treatment. 1t is one of the few
preparations that may be given to
children without danger as it does not
contain a single injurious substance. 1t
has undoubtedly saved the lives Of
scores of children by curing them of
Group and has never yet failed TO cure
even the most severe and dangerous
cases of that disease. We append a
few testimonials from people who have
used it.
A PHYSICIANS OPINION.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best ia the market.

The Boston Courier says they were
sitting together in the warm parlor,
saying little, but thinking much. But
lovers do not need to say much to be
companionable.
The little clock on the mantle for a
considerable time had been the only
speaker. It's tick, tick, tick, tick,
seemed to the youth to say: Kiss
her, kiss her, kiss her, kiss her. " To
the maiden it said "Leap year, leap
year, leap year, leap year." and its
reiteration of this phrase forced the
maid to break the silence:
"How funny some people are ~ she
said.
Funny P''
"Yes ;some people who are going to
be married"
"Ohln
Yes, some want to he married in
balloon, come on the middle arch of a
bridge, some in boat, some in a
railroad train, some on horseback,
some on the edge Of precipice, some
down in coal minc''
g Yes, have noticed it.
"What is the object, I wonder ?"
/" Ma. .riage, of course.
But / mean their object in getting
married out of the usual way"
"Well, I'll tell you what l think.
They get married in this way so that
they can tell their children and their
grandchildren that they were married
under peculiar circumstances, as, for
instance your mother and me, chill
dren, were married in coal mine, or
Your grandmother and me, children,
were married in balloon.'
"I'll bet that's just the reason"
said the maiden.
"Of course it is the reason"
There was pause. Then. the maiden |
with a glowing cheek said
"I've been thinking, John"
"Yes2n he said, interrogatively.
"I've been thinking how funny it
would be-" Ia pause and a deeper
blush).
swell, Bella, you've been thinking
what %
"I'ye been thinking how funny it
would be if"
Yes"
"If, when the subject Of marriage
comes up thirty or forty years hence,
you could point to me and say why,
children, your grandmother proposed
to me in leap year and We were mar
ried few weeks after"
John is very busy these days fur
nishing a nice little cottage, and Bella
is experimenting the making Of her
wedding dress.

How to Preserve the Hair.

A young gentlemen whom we never suspected of vanity, but whose evident tendency to badness we have often deplored, ask how to pre- serve the hair. He requests us that our reply be strictly confident ial: but knowing the character of the postmsitress of his town. we propose to run no risks, and accordingly an- swer in cold type.
 There are several well crcditable methods of preserving the hair. Personally, we have tried none Of them. but have kept record of those recommended by our baldest friend. To avoid any inviduous distinction between them we submit the seve ral in alphabetical order.
 A: Arrogate no authority in the household.
 B: Be in every night as early as a shutter can be procured.
 c: Carry up coal when request ed.
 D: Don't dictate.
 E.: Eat what comes before you.
 F: Fix the fire before going to bed.
 C.; Govern with wisdom the dog:
 H: Hold your tongne when sd- dressed.
 I: Incline to instant obedience.
 J: Join nothing-except stove pipe.
 K: Keep off the carpet.
 l.: Look sweet when lulling the baby.
 M: Make marry with the wood pile:
 N: Never look new bonnet in the bill.
 o: Ostracise yourself when the sewing circle meets.
 P: Practice perfect patience.
 e: Quash every querulons com complaint.
 R: Render yourself scarce in house cleaning time.
 S: Spend and be spent for the Sisters of Tumbuctoo and the home for incurable Hottentots.
 T: Tend door.
 U: Upset nothing.
 V: Vanish when callers come.
 W: Watch the kerosene lamb and don't let it smoke.
 X: Nplain when called upon.
