I am glad at last your eyes have fallen upon me. Now that we have met, pray cultivate the acquaint, ana. for it is my purpose to interest and serve you. Between you and I, though only a newspaper article, I am ambitions. Having a portentous message for all mankind, if it be csrdiaily received, its import trnlv real ized and acted npon, I shall be considered a world's benefactor. Could have no higher ambition you will admit. A misanthrope of ample means deter, mined to end his life by drowning himself. Going to the ban'uj of the canal, found the time not favorable for the purpose, a num ber of persons being in the vicinity, and day light still present He concluded to walk along the towpath until it was dark. While doing so, he heard piteous ones issuing from the door of a hovel near by, and unoon- sciously walked over to the place, and found a poor family consisting of a mother sur rounded by several children, who told him of their sufferings for food. He took from his pocket his wallet and handed it to the woman, reasoning with himself that he would not need it The grateful thanks and praises that he received from the recipients of his bounty awoke emotion in his breast, of such a pleasurable character, that he changed his suicidal intent and decided to i for others. His future life became re live for others, plete with good deeds—many a dark home and heart were made bright bv his presence. Well, my appearance in these columns, springs simply from a desire on the part of those I represent, to benefit your news-de vouring race. My province is to help you, your friends, your relations, aye, even your mother-in-law, if that interesting lady be not already far beyond the pale of good influ ences. I am sent among men to bear tidings of a discovery that marks an epoch as important to the health of mankind as Newton’s appla and Franklin’s kite were to natural scieuce. The sick, the discouraged, the dejected, the broken down, and the despairing, may now all find a cure, certain as the Jordan proved to the Syrian lepper. It is only necessary, as in the case of that sufferer of old, to fol low directions. The agent which I herald builds up the system, sweeps the cobwebs from the brain, and sends pure, invigorating blood dancing through the arteries to the music of happy laughter. The gloomy, womont man of business, by proper use of this wonderful medicine, will be enabled to meet trouble and reverses a man. Then, in perfect 1 Hli^ginirril n il have abnormal vinw* nf —» fortune, whi^^pirtPflJlmher man, nor the pnu^a^NAnisworks, which buries empires and Pities in a common grave.” The weak and nervous woman, just able to dra» herself, in “moping melancholy” through duties of the day, may steal the bloojn from blush roses, and have eyes as bright and sparkling as the dewdrops nest- ling/in their leaves; and the poor little baby, disfigured with pimples and scabby may be made sweet, cool and whole- as—“that youngster of Mrs. Blank’s, 3 the way, whose family is always in a rw of health.” Don’t you know the rea- ? “No.” Then I will tell you. For rs your neighbor has never been without Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, his remedy is a medicine, not a beverage, and is to be taken according to fall and per fectly plain directions accompanying each bottle. It is specific, bnt not a patent med icine, and contains no vile narcotics or viler liquor. It is a prescription used for years by the well-known physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., whose name is a household word in innumerable homes all over our own and foreign lands. The Golden Medical Discovery is prepared and offered to the publio by the World’a Dispen sary Medical Association, a body corporate, existing by and nnder the laws of the State of New York; its president is Dr. Pierce, the great specialist in chronic diseases. The doctor has devoted the beat years of a very busy and wonderfully successful life to the relief and cure of his suffering fellow men— and at a time when high political honors lay broadly open before him, Dr. Pierce re signed his seat in the Congress of the United States, simply from a sense of dnty toward others. His associates in the great sanatar- iom represented to the doctor that the im mense business of their association de manded that his personal attention should be paid to the great army of patients crowding upon them from every clime. Dr. Pierce is also the founder of the Invalids’ Hotel at Buffalo, N. Y. This establishment, possess ing all the comforts and luxuries of a first- class American hotel, has in addition the daily attendance of a large faculty of emi nent specialists, whose practice collectively cover the whole field of surgery and chronic diseases. The laboratory m which Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is pre- i iared is an object of interest and wonder, t has a frontage of one hundred feet, a depth of one hundred and twenty-five feet, and is six stories high. In thi i mammoth and pa latial workshop two hundred persons are constantly employed in putting up Dr. Pierce’s Medicines. While the Golden Medical Discovery’s curative effects are almost immediately felt, it is not merely a temporary stimulant, but is as certainly a safe and complete cure, in all cases for which it is recommended, os it is that certain misery and death will follow their neglect Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will not care clnb feet will not refurnish armless or legless unfortunates with new and perfect limbs, and it ia not guaranteed that even a dozen bottles applied to any stray portion of a second hand skele ton, will develop snch member into an ani mate, human form divine (?). In brief, it is not asserted that this medicine will, or onn, counteract the decrees of Providence K-« iu all cases where a high state of civilization and cultivation has engendered disease and suffering, whereby God’s natural man has become a nervous, artificial being, the Gold en Medical Discovery will positively restore to him the strong, vigorous, self-asserting life, from which, almost unconsciously, he had drifted far, and perhaps hopelessly away. It is claimed, and guaranteed, if this medi cine be used as prescribed, and faithfully persevered in a reasonable time, it will per manently cure liver complaint, and the var- lons blood disorders consequent npon torpor of the liver, in all their various forms and ramifications, including bronchitis, con sumption, which is scrofula of the lungs, dysfiepsia, costiveness, siok-headaohe, skin diseases, fever and ague, malaria, and other disorders arising from poisoned or deterior ated blood. This wonderful medicine cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt rheum, fever soree, scaly or rongh skin, in short, all diseases caused by bad blood, are conquered by this powerful, purifying and invigorating medicine. Great eating nlcers rapidly heed under its benign influences. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing tetter, boils, carbuncles, scrofulous sores and swellings, white swellings, goitre or thick neck, and enlarged glands. Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs, is promptly and positively arrested and cured by this sovereign and God-given remedv, if taken before the last stages are reached. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, con sumptive night-sweats, and kindred affec tions, it is a sovereign remedy. For indi- geetion, dyspepsia and torpid fiver, or “bil iousness,” Golden Medical Discovery has no equal, ns it effects perfect and radical cures. To ali suffering from lassitude, weariness, desiamdency, lack of vigor or ambition, be ; t man, woman or child, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will speedily impart new tone, vigor and life to the whole system. The haggard face will grow round, ruddy, and beam with the expression of long lost con fidence. The step will be firm and elastic, and the relieved sufferer will once more enjoy iu common with fellow men that feeling of proprietorship in earth, air and being, only full v realized by those in perfect health. The Golden Medical Discovery will not make drunkards or opium eaters; on the contrary, any unfortunate, driven by trouble, adversity or inherited appetite, to the one of insidious stimulants, will find the Discovery of great assistance m efforts to break the chains binding him to s shameful and miser able existence. Thoee feeling only “ont of sorts,” with no predominant symptoms, and who. if asked, wrmM And it difficult to exnlain their ■ensa- tious, will find a sovereign remedy m the Golden Medical Discovery. Those who are irritable, petulant, or fret ful, ever seeing the gloomy side of life; who imagine “the time is ont of joint;” to whom life is a heavy burden, not a blessing; who think the whole world is arrayed agaiust them, and anticipate calamity at every tnm; to all such let this message be full of en couragement and joy—Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will radically cure them, when it will be found, to their lasting benefit, that life and the world have not changoH, but that disease had thrown clouds of misery and woe about them, through which ail things were seen, ae ‘‘through a gkse darkly.” Let no sufferer be discouraged because he or ah* has tried other inedicinea without benefit, an tact, tnese are tne oases tn# World’s Dispensary Med<oal Association particularly desire to reach through their j Dr. Pierce’* Golden Medical Discovery. When all other medicines fail let this be fried, and no one will be doomed to farther disap pointment The Golden Medical Discovery is a pre scription of a physician with a wide-awake reputation and an honorable position to maintain. It ie far beneath the dignity of Dr. Pieroe to lend his name to any vile nos trum, or catch-penny preparation, whereby the public may be deceived. Having used hie«. Discovery for many yean in his nn- procedented private practice, he is convinced it is indeed a specific in diseases mentioned. Desiring this marvelous cure shall benefit not only thoee with whom he oomes person ally in contact, but that ali mankind may be embraoed in his grand plan for the ameliora tion of human suffering, the doctor, through the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, earnestly and most confidently recommends his Golden Medical Discovery to the pnhlio at large, assured the moet skeptical will be thorongnly convinced of its worth by a trial of a single bottle. In stubborn, or long-seated affections, and where the bowels are very costive, the gentle, though certain action of the Discovery, will be more rapid and satisfactory by supplement ing Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgatdvs relicts in small daily doses of one or two. These pills (the original and only genuine Little liver Pills) are purely vegetable, sugar- coated, and very small, yet by the peculiar process used in their preparation, they pos sess the strength and virtue of larger and nnpalatable pills. Pleasant Purgative Pellets will speedily remove all ill and dis agreeable effects arising from over-eating or drinking, and are recommended as a ca thartic at all times, being perfectly safe, sure and unattended by the griping pains usually experienced in the use of purgativee lose carefully prepared. Promptly resorted to, theee little Pellets will radically cure indi gestion, biliousness and siok-headache, thus saving the patient from serious and lingering disorders. Dr. Pieros, the President of the World’a Dispensary, and his faculty of twelve skilled specialists, can be consulted by letter or in person in any ease of chronic disease requiring either medical or surgical treatment free of charge.

By taking off a part and beating up an egg, and working it in with a little butter, yon may have nice French rolls; just use flour enongh to handle them well, dip your hand in the flonr, and flour round the sides to make them break apart nicely; make off quickly, put close together and allow no room for them, or any other roils, to ran and get ont of shape. When nearly done, wipe the tops over with milk with out taking them from the stove. Take a piece of dongh the size of a loaf, beat two eggs light, half cup ot milk, smal spoonful of butter, and with the hand work altogether in a stiff batter; grease a pan, (a round one is best), pour in an inch and a half thick, and bake In moderate oven till well done; split and butter; send to table hot It should rise twice its original thioknesa By adding a little more of the above ingre dients, with a cup of sugar, and giving it a second rise before baking, yon have a very good plain «ake, especially for children. HUMOBOUB. imparted tnrough correspondence, the doctor has written a book, called “The People’s f mmon Sen,,., Medical AJjdser, in • Plain gliatw«rM8di<ffne Hrmplified.” t his work alone is a goodly harvest for an ordinary life, and stamps its author a pro found scholar and a very remarkable man. The book contains nine hundred and twenty- two pages, illustrated with two hundred and eighty-six wood cuts and colored plates, and makes plain as a, b, c, anatomy, pnysi- ology, materia medica, practice of medicine, hygiene, temperaments, psychology, etc.— and answers in plain, easily-to-be-under- stood terms all questions that may arise within their range, especially those ques tions the wonld-b'3 inquirer is deterred by fear, or modesty, from asking the family or other physician. That all may be enabled to acquaint themselves with matter so vital to health, happiness, and success, the price of this great work has been fixed at one dollar and fifty cents, postpaid by mail to any ad dress, while smaller and far inferior books, purporting to cover the same ground, have sold at five dollars a copy. It being the aim of the proprietors of the Common Sense Medical Adviser to reach not only the afflu ent, bnt also those in moderate, and even straitened, circumstances, the price of the work places it within the reach of all. AGRICULTURE. Curb fob Horse Pulling at the Halter.—For the benefit of such of our readeee as may desire to make use of it, a method is suggested of breaking n horse of that common and very un pleasant habit of pulling at the halter, which has been thoroughly tested and found to work admirably. If you have a herse that is addicted to this habit, follow the instructions herewith given, and a complete cnie will soon follow. Get a strong, half inch cord 22 feet in length; put the center nnder the tail like a cron per; twist them a few times as you bring them forward over the back pass forward on each side of the body, then pass them forward through the halter below the jaw. Tie firmly to a tree, post or stall, and excite the animal by any means that will cause him to pull, until the habit is overcome. You may even whip him across the nose keenly until there is perfect submission which will not n quire long. Hitoh in this way for a few days, or so long as there is any predisposition to pull on the halter. Clover Fertilizer.—Two or even three crops of small grain can be raised in succession to advantage on any piece of laud provided clover is sown with evt ry cr> p of small grain, .’’hen a crop of clover is turned under for every crop of small grain except the first,and upon this hyp 1 'thesis when a farmer wants to enrich nis land or any one or more pieces, let him seed the land with small grain for two or three years in succes sion, always sowing clover in the spring and ploughing in the fall, and then if he chooses to pnt the land in corn he can do so for one, or even two seasons, and then pnt it back in small groin and clover. After a field has had clover sown in it for six or eight seasons it will seed itself, and after every crop of small grain a crop of clover will spring up from the seed in the ground exposed to the action of elements by ploughing for the crop of small grain. Another fact well known is that a crop of wheat grown on fallow ground is greater and the gram larger than that grown on com ground. The Gardener’s Monthly gives in sulistance the following good practical directions for pruning ornamental shrubs on the approach of spring; ‘'In discriminate cutting back will not an swer the desired purpose. Distinction must be made between slow and vigor ous growers, and between those which bear flowers on old wood and those which flower on new growth. Hnch as grow to strong to flower well should be lightly pruned, and in the same individ ual the weakest shoots should be ont in more severely than ihe stronger ones. Lilacs aud the Piiiladelphns bear flow ers on the wood of last year, and to prune them much now destroys the flowers, while the altheas and others which flower ®n the young wood cannot be too severely cut in. ” The best beat for the hot bed is fresh horse dung irom a stable where some leu or more horses are kept, so that a load of it can be taken out hot and fresh before it has had time to born by excessive heating. Such manure can not always be had when wanted, a good substitute may be made by mixing for est leaves in alternate layers with com mon cow stable dong, in a sheltered plaoe, until a pile of a cord or two is obiained; if the weather should be cold, and the material partly frozen wnen it is piled, it will be necessary to pour a few bucketfuls of boiling water npon the heap to start fermentation: when the pile is well heated cart it as quickly as possible to the bed, so as to check fermentation as little as possible. Flant-Growing.—The more freely a plant is growing the more water will It require: and the more it grows the mors sun and light will it need. In all oases thoee which seem to grow the fastest shook) be placed nearest the light. The position for room plants is the south east. They seem like animals in their afftotiou for the morning sun j Making Hair Grow.—If the head be perfectly bald, nothing will ever cause the hair to grow again. If the scalp be glossy, and no small hairs are dis cernible, the roots or follicles are dead; and you might as well eanse an arm which has been amputated to grow again. However, if small hairs are to be seen, brush well, and bathe the bald spot three or four times a week with cold soft water:—Carbonate of ammonia, one drachm; tincture of oantharides, four drachms; bay ram, four ozs,; cas tor oil, two ozs. Home elderly people often desire to keep their hair from turning gray. The following dye will effect this:—Taka the hulls of butter nuts, say about four ounces, and infuse in a quart of water. Then add half an ounce of copperas. Apply with a soft brash every second or third day. This preparation is harmless, and I have rea sons for believing so, has never been published. It is far better than those dyes made of nitrate of silver. French Bread. —As a rale the French bread is always sweet and good, and two things contribute in a great degree to this—that is, the manner and form of baking. They never make a thick loaf; no matter what the size or shape, it is always thin; aud more than two-thirds crust. They bake their bread until it is perfectly cooked. The loaves being so thin, the heat strikes through them very soon after they are placed in the oven; hence all the fermentation is stopped, while in the case of large loaves fermentation continues to go on after the bread has been in the oven for some time, and of course much of the sweetness is lost. Then, in baking so long, and having so mnch crust, thare is a peculiar sweetuess given which can be attained in no other way. Potatoes—How to Cook.—Potatoes should be boiled in a sauce-pan half fall of water, boiling, and not in one tilled with hot water. Steam is thus engen dered, and tlie potatoes are steamed instead of boiled, whereby the poison ous element which the potato has in common with their solance is neutralized. The lid of the saucepan shonld fit close ly. When the potatoes are boiled the steam should evaporate before they are eaten. They should not be fried in butter as the poisonous matter is thus retained, to the serious prejudice of the stomach. William Cobbett was wont to describe the potato as the “accursed root,” but as it still constitutes the chief food for laborers, it should be cooked properly. To Make Cauliflower Pickles.— Out the whitest, closest bunches into small clusters. Plunge into scalding brine, and boil three minutes. Take them ont, lay npon a cloth, sprinkle with salt thickly, and when dry brush this off. Cover with cold vinegar for two days, setting the jar in the sun. Then pack carefully in glass or stone ware jars, and soaid with vinegar sea soned thus: To one gallon allow a enp of white sugar, a dozen blades of maee, a tablespoonful of celery seed, two doz en white pepper corns, some bits of red pepper pods, a tablespoonlnl of corian der seed, and the same of whole mustard, Boil five minutes. Repeat the scalding once a week for three weeks. Tie up. An Error in Window Gardening.— A very common error in window garden ing is that of attempting too much. Too many plants are crowded into the little space at command, so that it is impossible to give each the air and light it should have. Again plants of too diverse oharaeter are brought together. It is no uncommon thing to see tropical plants and those from the temperate zone, if not Alpine plants, all crowded into the same window, and subjected to the same temperature and treatment. Better far to have one healthy well grown plant, that will yield its flowers in perfection, than a dozen sickly, feeble, wretched plants, that hare no beauty eitner of leaf or blossom. Sings the failure of two or three fe male bankers and brokers in the East, it seems impossible for that sex to secure the confidence of Western women who have pin money laid aside. A woman who claimed to have heavy financial backing, and who was in the confidence of all the great capitalists and specula tors, recently opened a shop in Toledo and offered to receive deposits and pay interest at the rate of four per cent, per month. Her first customer was her last. A hatchet-faced old maid walked in on her one morning with five dollar bill and inquired: •‘Are yon the woman who will pav four per cent, per month on deposits?’' “Yes.” “Only four!” “Just four.” “That’s all.” “Well, I did think if yon would give eighly per cent, and secure me with a diamond ring or a gold watch I’d deposit this fire dollars, bnt you seem so stingy and independent that I won’t leava it. r ' By contracting a severe Gough and Gold, I wag compelled to give up my daily work and keep to the house.

Muggins is near-sighted—very near sighted—and Brown had often told him that he could not see two feet ahead of him; bnt since he loaned him fifty dol lars he has had cause to change his miad. Brown was at an optician’s, a few days ago, tel ec ting a pair of opera glasses, and went into the street to test them. In looking up the street he dis covered Muggins ten blocks away try ing to hide behind a lamp-post; and, as he gazed npon him, Mnggins turned llis pockets inside out to convince him that he had nothing in them. Brown does not believe in near-sightedness any more. Che‘put Famiiin Magazine in the world, 120 large pages, 4 pages new music, 1000 engravings each issue. 50 cents per veai; singleopies 15 cents.
