"AVER'S PILLS
>* "Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty
years have kept rue in good health,
never having had a sick day in all that
time. Before I was twenty I suffered
almost continually?as a result of constipation?from
dyspepsia, headaches,
neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive
diseases. "When I became convinced
y tliat nine-tenths of my troubles were
caused by constipation, I began the use
of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfactory
results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield Co this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
invalid for years, also began to uso
Ayer's Pills, and her bcaiyj was quickly
I restored. With my cbi&nsn I had noticed
that ueariy all the* ailments were
preceded by constipation, and I soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Aj-er's Pills,
if taken iu season, avert all danger of
^-sickness."?II. WrrxsTEiv, Byron, 111.

Western official of whom we have
somewhere heard:
"Jake, du you 'low ter take Sal?"
"Yer bet I du."
"Sal, du you low teriake Jake?" |
"I low ter."
. "Then, in the name o' ther State
Missoury. I pernounceyou-unsman
aud woman. Amen."
Though somewhat abbreviated,
. this service was not. quite so short
as that of a rather eccentric old minister
in Connecticut* who, chancing
to meet a couple that had for years
^ harassed him by seeming at any time
about to put their heads into the
matrimonial noose, yet never doing
it, said: v
"Stephen and Sarah, do you really
want to be married?"
"Why, yes."
"Then I declare you man and wife."
And away he went and entered the
marriage in the town records.
There is a story of a young man
ewmpd to know a good deal bet
ter what he was about. When the
minister asked him: "Do you take
this woman to be your wedded wife?"'
he answered instantly, with no small
degree of warmth; "See here, parsoD,
what do you suppose we came here
for, a divorce?'' No more true to life
was that than another case when in
addressing the bride the minister
asked: "Do you take this man for
better or worse?" "I can't tell until
I have hau him a while," interrupt* d
the bride. On this occasion we think
it would not have been inappropriate
had the friend who presided at the
piano played for a recessional the
same selection that is said to have
been performed at a recent wedding
^ ia Boston. As the neply-married
pair returned down the aisle the organist
is said to have inaocentlp
rendered: "Onward, Christian soldier?,
marching as to war."

It is Dot ungual for druggists to
recommend Chamtx rlain's Cough
Remedy to their customers. Many (
of them have used it themselves, or ]
in their families and know from
personal experiecce its great value ?
in the treatment of coughs, colds i
and croup. They know too that their J
customers are their best friends and ;
naturally wish to give them the most j
: reliable medicine they have for those
| ailments. Messrs. Daugberty Bros., i
prominent druggists of Indiana, Pa., J
| say, "We sell more of Coamberlain's ^
Cough Remedy than of any other 1
cough syrup, and always take pleas- j
ure in recommending it to* our cus: j
omers." Mr. H. M Urey, the p<pu- 1
lar druggist at Fredotia, Pa., who has ,
sold Chamberlains Cough Remedy ]
for several years, says: 11 can truly j
say that it is the best cough medi
cine in the market."

included besides him James Pronan and 1

mission delivered to them on the 12th 1
of November of the same year. The
journey lasted till the following autumn, j ^
and was in any case finished in Novem- j

22d of that month receiving "with his !
own hands" in London the arrears of a 1
yearly pension granted to him some J
time before by letters patent pro bono <
servitia The sum awarded to him at '
starting did not prove sufficient to cover <
his expenses. He produced an account <
of them, which was examined by the |
exchequer, and, after some delay necessitated
by tho verification of his eompoti,
a further sum of ?25 (Is. 8d. was
allowed to him, on Saturday, the 4th of i

Chaucer was, at the time ho started,
32 years of age, having been torn (as 1
seems most probable) in 1340. He had i
already seen much and gone through a
variety of experience*. He had made war
in France; he had been a prisoner there; t
he had been in love; he bad married; t
he enjoyed some celebrity as a poet,
i having written "many an ympce" to 1
j the god of love, his beautiful elegy on t
the death of "Blaunchc the Duchesse," j
; and, above all, his translation of the
"Romaunt of the Rose," which had 1
j made him known on the continent and 1
had obtained for him the praise of Eustache
des Champs, tho best French poet
of the day.?Nineteenth Century. j i

A Successful Union.
v;
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please grant me space in the good
Dispatch for a few words in regard
to our Baptist Union which met at v
Harmony church on the last Satururday
and Sunday in August.
The Union met promptly at the
hour previously announced in the
program, and was called to order by
! the Moderator.
All the churches in this division
! was represented with delegates and ^
! letter.'
The young brethren who had been
appointed to open the discussion of
the queries were all present and acquitted
themselves with honor to the
Union and credit to themselves.
Tho discussion of these queries
I were entered into very fully by the
different brethren and many good
points brought out.
The Charity sermon was preached
! on Sunday by Rev. N. A Hemrick
i from Romans XIII, 12: 4,The night .
! is far spent, the day is at hand; let
us therefore cast off the work of v
darkness, and iet us put on the armor
of light.' The sermon wtfs a?
very able one and the minister held
the large audience's profoundest attention
from beginning to end. The
offering taken at the close of the
sermou amounted to $14 50, which
I was appropriated to State missions.
I am proud to say, Mr. Editor, that
.the lower division of this Union is
doiDg some good, faithful, consecrated
work for the Mastef. May
the work that has begun continue to
? i
grow, flourish and prosper, ana mucn
good be accomplished in building up
the Master's kingdom.
