magazines for girls and boys. Nothing like It was
known before, and to-day, as the Chicago Inter
ocean recently said, 't is the model and ideal uve-
nile magazine Of the world" Through its pages the
greatest writers of our time are speaking to the
youth Of America and England, and the best artists
and engravers are training the eyes Of the boys and
girls to appreciate the highest in art. NOBODY knows

Alcott, Mrs. Burnett, Charles Dudley Warner, W.
d. Howels, and almost every well known writer of
our time have contributed to its pages. There is

announce that with the beginning Of the seventeeth
volume November, 1897 st. Nicholas will be en-
larged by the addition of eight and sometimes six
| teen, extra pages in each number. This enlarge

rich store Of new material which has been secured
for the benefit of st. Nicholas readers. The use Of

Died at bis home 10 this County,
tour miles east of Hillsboro, on
Thursday the 23d instant, at 1890
D m John McCauley, one IF our
oldest and most respected citizens,
at the advanced age of SO years.
Seldom has it fallen to the lot of
the writer to chronicle the death OF
one who has passed away whose lite
was spent 10 qo'etude, and in the
pursuit. Of an honest and honorable
occupation, (that OF a farmer), having
located directly after his marriage,
over sixty years ago, on the place
where be died. And although the
soil was thin and reproductive, he,
by industry and economy, lived and
raised a large and respected family
of children, all Of whom are settled
in life and are useful men aud wo-
men in society. He mingled but
little with the affairs OF public life.
The Bible, with the HiHsboro Re
cOr1er aud the ORANGE COUNTY
OBSERVER, constituted his sole Ii
brary OF information. He was in the
fullest sense a home man, and exer-
cised the grace of patience, which
few mortals attain to j.; never fretting,
m%urmuring or complaining agains,
the troubles or trials of lite, but in a
steady quiet way pursued the even
tenor OF his way through life.
He enjoyed to a remarkable de.
gree, good health through life, neve,
took any medicine, never INDUCED
in railroad excursions, never visited
the capital OF our State. Hillsboro
our County seat, seemed to satisfy
his mind without rowing or rambling
elsewhere. How many, oh! how
many in this town will miss his ia
miliar face, and, perhaps, sigh and
drop a sympathizing tear that they
shall e his tace no more. An
Notwithstanding be had his faults
and tallings, as we all have, let u,
throw the mantle Of charity over hi
bese,ting sin, avoid his faults, prac
tice his virtues, and if we are with
out sin, then we may cast the frs,
stone.
But the best Of all is he died ir
peace with his God. How consoline
to his children and to his numerous
friends were the closing scenes OF
his esentful life; praising God to-
His great mercy in bringing him back
to bis first love, exEor,lng all &c
never, no, never turn back, but to
press onward and upward. Christ
the Rock of Ages, being the only
foundation of his hope and trust, he
seemed to realize Heaven in his soul
his last words being "Oh Heaven
Sweet Heaven y and passed away.

CANCER

is a form Of blood poison which is
not understood by the medical pro-
lession as to its real nature and char
acter, but it is evidently hereditary
in It's nature. 1t may accident!y de-
velop itself without any predisposi-
ton or evidence of such existing
poison. The knife or caustic salves
have heretofore been the so-called
remedies for it, but all honest prac.
titIoners will tell you that this treat.
ment fails to cure, and only hastens
fatal results. Thousands of cases of
epithelIoma (skin) cancers, have
been entirely cured by the use OF
Swltt's Specific. 1t forces the pc,
son out through the cancer itself,
and the pores OF the skin.
