taken for consumption, in its early
stages, checks further progress of
the disease, and even in the later
stages, it eases the distressing
cough and promotes refreshing
sleep. 1t is agreeable TO the taste,
needs but small doses, and does not
interfere with digestion or any of
the regular organic functions. Asa an
emergency medicine, every house

Having used Ayers Cherry Pee

Frederick, Prince of Wales, sometimes
visited Alexander Pope at his villa. On
one occasion when the prince was on a
visit, says Greater London, Pope, after
expressing the most dutiful professions of
attachment, gave bis Royal Highness an
opportunity of observing very shrewdly
that his (the poet's) love for princes wac
inconsistent with his dislike for kings,
since princes may, in time, become,
kings, said his Royal Highness.
"Mr. Pope, | hear you don't like prin-
ces."
"SIr, beg your pardon"
"Well, then, you don't like kings
"Sir, must own that / like the lion
the best before his claws are grown"
No reply could well have been happier.

ILLUSTRATED.

Harper's Weekly is acknowledged as stand
ing first among illustrated weekly periodicals
in America. 1t occupies place between that
of the hurried daily paper aud that of the less
timely monthly magazine. II includes both
literature and news, and presents with equal
force and felicity the real events of current
history and the imaginative themes Of fiction.
On account Of its very complete series of illus
trations of the Worlds Fair, it will be not
only the best guide TO the great exposition, but
also is best souvenir. Every public event of
general interest will be fully illustrated in its
pages. Its contributions being from the best
writers and artists in this country, it will con-
tinue TO excel in literature, news, and illustra-
tions, all other publications of its class.

left up around there and we do not

stock enough. We did not see any
cattle ut all except few cows,
