The Hons?keepers's Tragedy. Ono day as I wandered, I hoard a com plain mg, .Vxid FTw a poor woman, thc picture of trloom; she glared,at the" mud on tho doorstep ('twas-raining,)' And lids was her wail as she wielded her broom : Oh ! life is a toil, and love is a trouble. And beauty will fade and riches will flo.?; And pleasures they dwindle, and prices ihey double,* And nothing is what I could wish it to be. .. There';} too much of worriment goes to a bounet, There's too nindi Of ir?nJng goes to a >birt; There's nothing that pays for thc time y.'ii waste on it; There^s nothing that lasts you but trouble and dirt. . . .. In Mardi it is mud, h.is slush in De c auber; The midsummer breezes are loaded with dust; In full the leaves litter, in smuggy Sep tember The wall paper rots and the candlesticks ru?-r. .' There aro worms in the cherries, and slugs in the roses, And ants in the sugar, and mice in tho yes; The rubbish of spiders no mortal sup poses, And ravishing of ropes and damaging flies. "It ls sweeping at six, and dusting ai soven ; . It i3 victuals at eight, and dishes at nine ; It is potting and panning from ten tc eliven ; Wo scarce break our fast ere wc piar how to dine." " With grease and with grime, from cor ner to centre, Forever at war, and forever alert ; NTo rest for thedav, lest tho enemy enter I spend my whole life in a struggh with dirt. " Last night in my dream, I was stationed fo rover On a little bare isle in the midst of the sea; My ono chance of life was a ceaseless en deavor Tc sweep off the waves ere they swop off poor me? Alas ! 'i was no dream-again I behold it I yield; I am helpless my late to avert She'rollcd?down her sleeves, her aproi sho folded, Then laid down and died, and wai buried in dirt.

IT8 CURE AND IT8 PREVENTIVE. By JJ H. BCHEHCE, K. 9. Manya human belnghas passed away for whose death there was no other reason-than the neglect of knows and Indisputably proven means or core. Those near and dear to family and Mends ara sleeping the dreamless slumber Into which, had they calmly adopted SB. JOSEPH H. SCBTEJiCK'S SDffl? TBEAT3TEB?T, and availed themselves of bis wonderfully effica cious medicines, they would not baye lallen. Dr. Sehende bas In bis own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vitality, by his medicines and his directions for their use, la quickened Into healthful vigor. In this statement there ls nothing presumptuous. To the faith of the Invalid is made no representation that ls nota thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory af t&e cure by Cr. Schenck's medicines IS as simple 03 lt is nneAiytiff, Ita philosophy requires no argument. It ls self-as suring, self-convincing. The Sea-weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel.of the malady Is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases or con sumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With this condition the bronchial tabes "sympathize" with the stomach- Th ey re spond U> themorblflc action of the liver. Here then comes the culminating result, and Ule setting in, with all its distressing symptoms of coifsTraPTxmr. The Mandrake Plus are composed of one ot Kv tore's noblest gifts- tho PodophiUum Pel tata m. They possess sil the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel, but, unlike calomel, they "LEAVE sro snare BEHDTD." The work orcuse ls now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits In the bowels and tn the ali mentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a block, ls wound up. It arouses from its torpidity? Thu stomach acta responsively, and tho patient begins to feel that he ls getting, at last, . _ A SCl'PLY OF ?DOD BLOOD. The Sea-Weed Tonic, to conjunction with the PIU?, permeates and assimilates witta the food. Chyllfl catlon ls now progressingwitbout ita previous tor tures. Digestion becomes painless, and the core ls seen to be at band. There ls no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach. An appetite sets In. Now comes tho greatest Blood Purifier aver yet gvon by on Indulgent Auber to soflfermir man. ibenck's Pulmonic syrup comes lu to perform ita functions apd to hasten and complete the" core. It enters at once upon Its work. Nature c*n not bo cheated. It collects and ripens tho Impaired and diseased portions of the longa. In the foxm of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lol in avery short time the malady ls vanquished, the rotten throne that lt occupied is renovated ana made new, and the patient, m all the dignity ofre galned vigor, ?cps raith to enjoy the Tarawi or womanhood that was fimni u? AS LOST. The second thing is, the patients must stay in* a warm room until they get weU ; lt ls almost Impos sible, to prevent taking cold when the lungs are die eased, but lt must b? prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fre?ih air and riding out, especially in this section of the country, In the fall ant winter sea son, are-an vron*.- Physicians who recommend that coarse lose their patienta, if their lungs are badly diseased; and y et, because theyarefn tho bouse they must not sit down quiet: they, must walk about the room ss mach and as fast as the strength wiU bear, to got up a good circulation of blood. The Satienta must keep in good spirits-be determined ) get .wen. This lias's great deal to do with the appetite, and ta the great point to gain. . To despair of cure*'after such evidence of Its pos sibility in the worst enea, and moral .certainty ht an others, ls sinful.' Dr. Sehen cit's irersonru state ment to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words:- ' " Many yes-ts ago I was in the last stages of con sumption; confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thoughtth at leonid hot Uvea week? then, like a drownlng-man catching at straws, I heard of and obtained tho preparations walch 1 now oner to tho public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter In my lungs, and I .would spit up more than a pint of offen sive yellow matter every morning for alonathne, "As soon as that began to subside, my cough, I I soon gained my strength, and have grown In flesh ever since. t " I was weighed shortly after my recovery," added the Doctor, irthon lookingUko a mere skeleton ; my weight was only pinety-seven pounds; my present weight ls two hundred and twenty-nvc(2B) po ands, and for years! have enjoyed uninterrupted health." Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visits to New York and Boston. He or his son. Dr. J, H. Schenck, Jr., stUl continue to see patients at their Office, Na 16 North ?ixthBtreet, Philadelphia, every Saturday from. 9 A.1?. to* pac "Those who wish a thorough examination with the Resplre meUTwU! be charged ?5, The Besplrometexdeclare? the" exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether ttaey are curable oj not. . The directions for taking the medicines are adapt ed to the Intelligence even of a child.- Follow these directions, and kind Nature win do the rest, except ing that In some cases the Mandrake Pills are to be token -In Increased doses : the three medicines need no other accompaniments than the ample Instruc tions that accompany them: First create appetite. Of returning health, hunger ls the most welcome symptom. When lt comes,aa lt will come, let the despairing at once be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night-sweat ta abated. In-a short time both of these morbid symp toms are gone forever, 1 Dr. Schenck's medicines ore constantly kept in tons of thousauds of families. As a laxative or pur gative, the Mandrake Fills are a standard prepara tion; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a propbylacterlc against consumption In any of Its forms.

Thc reputation this i rollout medicino enjoysT" ii derived from its cures, mauy of which are truly marvellous.

Again, it "poems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion,rapidly develop into one or other ol' its hideous forms, cither on thc surfri.ee or among the vitala. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited iu thc lun^s or heart, or tumors formed :n the liver; or it shows its presence by emptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on sumo part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear.
