ALBERT CROOKER; the well-known druggist and apothecary, of Springvale, Me., always advises every one troubled with Rheu matism to try VEGETINE. -Read His Statement: SPRINGVALE, ME., Oct. 12,1878. Mit. H. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir-Fifteen years ago last fall I was taken sick with rheumatism, was unable to move until the next April. From that time until three years ago this fall I suffered ev erything with Rheumatism. Sometimes there would be weeks at a time that I could not step one step; these attacks were quite often. I sufE:red everything that a man could. Over three years ago last spring I commenced taking VEGETINE and followed it up until I had taken seven bottles; have had no rheumatism since that time. 1 al ways advise every one that is troubled with rheumatism to try VEGETINE, and not sufer 1 for years as I have done. This statement is gratuitous as far as Mr. Stevens is concerned. Yours, etc., ALBERT CROCKER,. Firm of A. Crocker & Co., Druggists and Apothecaries. VEGE TINE Has Entirely Cured Me. MR. H. R. STEVENS:- BOSTON, Oct., 1870. Dear Sir-My daughter, after having a se vere attack of Whooping Cough, was left in a feeble state of health. Being advised by a friend she tried the VEGETINE, and after using a few bottles was fully restored to health. I.have been a great sufferer from Rheuma tism. I have taken several bottles of the VEGETINE for this complaint, and am happy to say it has entirely cured me. I have re commended the VEGETINE to others with the same good results. It is a great cleanser aud purifier of the blood; it is pleasant to 'ake and I can cheerfally recouMmend it. JAMES MORSE, 364 Athens Street. Rheumatism is a Disease of the Blood. The blood in this disease, is found to con tain an excess of fibrin. VEGETINE acts by converting the blood frem its diseased condi tion to a healthy circulation. VEGETINE regulates the bowels which is verv important in this complaint. One bottle of Vegetine will give relief; but, to effect a permanent ,urp, it i4ust be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing. VEGETINE is sold by all Druggists. Try it, and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, "I never found so much relief as - from the use of VEGE LINE," which is com posed exclusively of Barks, Roots and Herbs. "VEGETINE," says a Boston pbysioian, "has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, I tested the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effective, and they are compounded in such a manner as to pro duce astonishing results." VEGETINE Nothing Equal to It. SOUTH SAL.EM, MA&ss., Nov. 14. 1876. Ms. U. R. STEV'ENs: Dear Sir-I have been troubled with Scro fula, Canker and Liver Complaint for three years. Nothing ever did me any good until - I commenced using the VEGETINE. I am now getting along first-rate, and still using the VEGETINE. I consider there is nothing equgl to it for such complaints. Can hearti ly rec'mmend it to everybody. rYours truly, MEs. LIZZIE M. PACKARD, No. 16 Lagrange Street, South Salem, Mass. VECETilNE Prepared by H. R. STEVENS, Boston, Mass.

SO TIRED. R. A. A. Tired, so tired, of struggle and strife, Grasping at shadows that dai ken my life, Waiting and watching for sunshine again, Finding at last that my watch is in vain. Tired, so tired, of glitter andglare, Fraud and deceit, that I find everywhere; Words without meaning, vows that are un true, Hearts that are callous through sorrow may sue. Tired, so tired, of acting a part, Wearing a smile, though weary at heart, Grasping -it laurels to wear on my head, Feeling too late I have thorns in their stead. Tired, so tired, is there a rest Beyond the bright river, the home of the blest? Unworthy to ask it, oh! say, shall I dare To pray for a home in the bright Overthere? Then if 4t last the pure gates I should see, Would 01-y we waiting for me? Free, free from the burtbe4 of sorrow he bore, Will he stand on that beautifal shore? Then tired no longer, life shadows all fled, If safe by the hand of my Saviour I'm led, Ihe weary cross broken, the golden crown won, Eternity-rest, then, with husband and son. FOR THE HzRAD. BROADBRIMI'S L&ST LETTER FRO31 PARIS. NO. 30. The bell of St. Sulpice announces the hour of twelve; the flambeaux are out; the thunder of cannon has I ceased; the vivas and shouts that rent the air throughout the day have died away, and the thous4nas that mingled in the grand fete are I buried in sleep, or, wearied with i their labors, are resting and chat- I ting with their neighbors about the I close of the great Exposition of i 1878. Within the Exposition it- I self, everything is silence; but with j to-morrow's dawn, all will be in the wildest disorder, and the exhibitors, who made up with the creations ofi bheir genius one of the most splen-i id spectacles of modern times' ] will be scattering t.o the ends of the arth. Since this Expnsition com- 1 menced, on May 1st, there have been a number of splendid fetes,' he beautiful illuLmination of the2 30th of June being one of 'the< arked features of the century. The Grand Prix, the review ati ongchamps, and the splendid scene] t the distribution of the prizes in he Palais d'Industrie on 21st of Otober, were all of marked events which will long be remembered.< The opening, too, was worthy of especial meIi'n; but all of these events were overshadowed and elipsed by the close of the Ex- I ibition yesterday, and by those 4 who were fortunate enough to wit ess the pageant, it will not easily< be forgotten. Although purely a I ivic and a peaceful festival, like everything else in France, it had a :ecided military char'acter ; for no j show or celebration in Paris is per fect withotit the soldier. The priest who once led the way on every ] great occasion, and who claimed the precedence of kings, was yesterday ompelled to take a back seat, whi]e the soldier, who was supposed< to have been engulfed in the terri-< ble field of Sedan, was for the time the oracle and the observed of all] observers,-as on the occasion of< the opening there was a great con entration of military power in and about Paris;and I would here remark that Paris is never without sol-1 diers, and nothing impresses a foreigner sq much as the military 1 parade which meets you every where, from the prison to the I church.1 For many days detachments of troops had been quietly arriving1 from different parts of the Repub lic. TIhe grand reviews of Septem er had given us a glimpse of the military strength of France, and whether the intention was to im press the stranger, or overawe the imperialisb and Communist, the effect was substantially the same, and the result was, "order reigned: in Warsaw." In the gray of the: November morning detachments of: troops might be seen 'hurrying through the streets, and taking up thir statins at the variOna~ posts assigned them. Large details had been made at the residences of the different ambassadors, and escorts were furnished to all of the royal and most of the distinguished visi tors. Early in the day the streets began to fill with people attired in their holiday clothes, and except in the m ost aristocratic quarters, where the Empire still holds sway, the houses were covered with bunt ing, particular honor being paid to the flags of England and the United States. Through the portion of Paris which lies between the Place le Concorde and the heights of Belleville, on almost every house was to be seen the Union Jack or he Stars and Stripes. The trains >n all the various railroad lines vhich concentrate on Paris were. .oaded to repletion from every por ion of the Republic. The quaint ostumes of Alsace-Lorraine might >e seen in the Exposition or along he Boulevards, and sweet little ?easant girls, in high Normandy aps and parti-colored petticoats, aurned the heads of the studerts in he Latin quarter, and caused a lutter even among the antiquated >eaux, who line the evening prome iade along the Champs Elysee. 'he everlasting 'blue blouse was veiywhere. Like the soldier, it vas omnipresent, and the only juestion which was the power be iind the throne; and the- day is 1 >erhaps not far distant when this 1 lescendant of the sans culotte him- i ielf may settle the question in a i nanner which will bring back the 1 nemory of that terrible and blQody -eign, the foot prints of which are till to be traced in every portion >f Paris. 4 the day advanced the streets >egan to fill with vehicles rushing ip toward the Exposition. Every hing on wheels in Paris was en aged, and by eleven o'clock not 6 cab or a carriage was to be en raged for love or money. By noon he splendid equipages of the dif erent amnbassadors began to arrive, ,wo of the most magnificent and mposing being those of the Span shi and Italian ministers. The Prussian, Austrian, and German ambassadors had also exceedingly andsome liveries and turnouts, nd in addition to these there were ~ounts, dukez, an<d prince, Qt.t Qf mrdber, mingled with a.multitude >f distinguished military officers, who had been specially invited from he different nationalities of Europe. or men distinguished in science and art there seemed to have been nade no special provision, and vandering through the surging rowd might be seen poets, painters and sculptors, whose names are mown throughout the world. The hunder of guns and the clatter of ioofs announced the arrival,.of the Irand Marechal President, and as >n the occasion of the opening, the ~nthusiasm, which had been rising o fever heat, seemed suddenly to iave died away, and a few faint ivas were his sol anid only greet ng. The vast multitude which. vas scattered over the grounds ~nd through the great halls of the ~xposition, now swept like a re istless torrent over the Seine, and oward the grand stand. The cere-1 nony was almost as brief as the >pening, and after a few words of ongratulation on the successful re init, the President announced the Exposition closed. The enthusiasm >f the people, which up to this mo-1 nent appeared to have been sup >ressed, suddenly burst all bounds ; bnd one of the wildest scenes ensued hat it has ever been my lot to wit iess. Cries, shouts, vivas, and iurrahs rent the air, and every nan and woman shook hands with is or her next neighbor, seeming :o regard him in the light of a warm personal friend. The con agion even caught the stoical Dhinese Minister, and he extended I is digits to a corporal of marines, ssuring him of his highest person - 1 regard. All through the after aoon the streets were crowded, and i~t night there was a general illumi ation, ending with a grand parade. [t will probably be some years. be ore France will try to hold another Exposition, for although the affair is called a success, it will take many miflions of fance to offset the wrong side of the balance sheet. !ei from the ordeal (and itbas' been a trying one), the Republi< has come out with honor. Here ani there some wandering tourist ma have been defrauded of a few franci by his landlord, or some lady ii her purchases of laces and shawls on which she never intended to pa3 duty, may have been swindled by a shop keeper,-but the Expo sition leaves behind it permaneni benefits and pleasant memories which will be a lasting benefits and to the world. These gathering havE brought the different nations of thE earth into a closer family communior awakening the hope that ere many years shall have passed away,the uni versal fatherhood and the universal brotherhood shall be acknowledged by all the children of men. And so ends my task, commenc ng nearly seven months ago, and followed unremittingly, with thE ,xception of the short respite whick [ allowed myself during the sam mer. I trust I have fulfilled my task to the satisfaction of my readers. I ask no other reward, and, trusting soon to renew my >orresnondence from the other side A the Atlantic, I respectfully bid 'hem farewell. Yours truly, BROADBRIM. TE IRREPRESSIBLE.-They were II out at Lhe springs-father, mother and five-year old boy. Af 'er an invigorating bath they went ip on to the bill to the "chicken ;oup" spring, and while regaling hemselves w4h the delightful irink, the little one looked at the )ubbling, steaming water a mo nent, and then asked : "lamma, what makes that wa er boil so?" "God does, my son." ',How doe's he do it?" "Oh ! he builds a big fire inder "Does he build the fire his own self ?" "Yes, I suppose so." The little one reflected a mo nent then asked : "Mamma, does God kick over ~he chairs and swear at Mrs. God ~ven he has to get up and build ~he fire ?" The wife glanced suggestively t her hgsbI.nd, but his eyes were ixed intently upon some object tway down the river. The silence ~or a minute was absolutely pain ul, and then the man -softly re narked: "I never before knew the Hum oldt to be so low at this time >'year," Washington society is very much xercised on the subject of Senator ruce's wife.

Dr. Swicke ley was passing along r Front street, one of the hottest days of the week, when he noticed c a large crowd gathered in front of a tenement house a short distance 9 ahead. The doctor hurried for ward, and elbowing his way through the crowd, found a man lying prostrate on the sidewalk. "PreL; back, good people, press back," said' the kind-hearted doe tor, 'and give the man air. I am a physician, and will bring-him around presently. I see how it is, the man is sunstruck. This beat is terrific, and the people will soon die like sheep, if the weather doesn't change. Somebody run for a piece of ice." A blear-eyed woman with a Igaunt, hardened face, edged. for ward and said: "Do you say that man is sun struck, Doe ?" "Certainly, madam, certainly; T the symptoms are clear and well defined." "Well, then, ll that I've got to say is, that the symptoms lies like all blazes," said the woman, put ting her bands on her hips, apd winking at the crowd. "My dear madam, what do you. mean ? Would you contradict the opinion of a professional man, backed' up by all the tratF's of science ?" said tbe doctor, squeez ing his ear down tight against the man's chest. "If you say that man is sun struck, you don't know nothin' about it," said she, doggedly. "The sun never touched him, not once. The good-for-nothin' lazy whelp takes mighty good care not to give it a chance at him. About 1l he does is to fill his hide with slon -in' set round in the shade, w. , 'is poor, hard-workin' wife has to drudge her life out to-keep the children from starvin'." "What's the matter with him, T then ?" asked a fatherly old gen-T theman on the inner edge of the crowd. "Well, sir, I struck hini myself, and I'd do it again ; that's what's. the matter wiih him. The bloat was two-thirds drunk, and pitched into his wife-that pale littte body crying over him-an' began W poundin' her out of all mercy, an, p~ so I jest waltzed in with a bag o, m sand that I kept for scourin,' an I a straightened him out, jest as you 'find him. I s'pose I've kind o' stunned him a little, for you see a' he's rousin' up already, but the de pity is that I didn't finish him al- fo: tbaether, the mean, ornery, trifling so loafer." "Sunstruck !-well, now, Doe, you was sold, but then I'm a regu. lar old crusher, an' it ain't to be w wondered at. if I'd a went at te him with my bare fist, you'd a te swore he'd ,been struck by lhght nin'.

An English at gentleman was leading his pony one day in South Africa, when he saw his Kaffir servant suddenly wi jump on one side. Knowing that pa it was a snake that had alarmed se him, the gentle man dropped the reius and went forward to kill it. It was a puff-adder, the reptile iti which it is thought, Cleopatra th used to Commit suicide. Killing ay it with a stone, he examined its glands and found them filled with poison. On returning to the ponye and advancing his hand to take D the reins, the horse shied back in great alarm. For several minutes he would not allow his master to approach. Some of the odor of c' the adder had attached itself to the gentleman's hands, and the bi cautious animal, being warned by i his sense of smell, was afraid that there was danger even in his master's touch.
