"This is the third time you have come here without tickets, when you know I can't take money." The young man and his girl fell back, and as they did not go near the wagon, and yel seemed very anxious to see the circus, a curious-minded citizen edged around and inquired of the young man: "Why don't you buy tickets if you want to go in ?" "Cause I'm short!" was the whispered reply. "I didn't 'low enough for incidentals when I was figgerin on the cost of this thing, but I don't want the gal to know it!" "How much are you short?" "Only 6ve cents. I figgered that teu shillings would pay all expenses, but I got left We spent ten cents for pea-nuts, ten cents on the cars and five in candy. I had just a dol lar left to pay our way in, when the girl got a peanut shuck in her throat, and I had tc buy a glass of lemonade to wash it down Didn't do it, though, till I had pounded hei on the back more'n fifty times and tried t< pull one of them fire hydrants up by th< roots 1" "I'll lend you five cents to make up you] dollar," said the citizen. "You will ? By gosh ! but that lets me out I'd made up my mind to tell the gal that th( tigers bad got loose and the hyenas had rui mad, but she's long-headed and might noi have believed it. Thankee,, sir, and the fbs time I'm in town I'll pay it back. Hang it I orter figgered on 'leven shillings 'stead o ten, but you've made me happy for life Come, Bets!" Recently a suit was tried before an In diana justice of the peace, wherein a lady wa plaintiff, and a bank defendant.

Her learnec counsel knew well that unless he could ge the sympathy of the "squire," his client woul< have a "lost cause." He therefore labore< hard in applying the "sympathetic process.1 He gushed with eloquence of great warratl in referring to his client's rights, until finally great tears came trickling down his cheeks at the sight of which the justice (who wa: a very tender-hearted indiviudal) was alsi M/vwa/I ffloro Tkio ao+iafia/? *fkfl IUVYCU IAJ b^ai o> jlauo ouuiguvvi wuv ^ that the sympathy of the Court was in behal of the lady, and he closed his argument b; saying, "It does my heart good to believ that this honorable Court, in the exercise o sound discretion, will not allow the rights c a pure and noble lady to be trampled beneatl the cloven feet of a soulless corporation; and took his seat, as confident that he woul< get a judgment as even poor Miss Flite was Thereupon the squire rendered the follow ing comprehensive and satisfactory decision He said : "The plaintiff in this case is a wc man, and her-counsel has for the last hou touched the sympathy of the Court in he behalf, and I am glad of it; but I think, un der the law, that justice is on the side of th bank.

Dear to Every Heart.?A gentlemai stepped into a school room in Cincinnati du ring a recitation in geography, and was in vited by the teacher to ask the class a fev questions. He courteously complied. "What is the capital of Michigan ?" "Lansing," was the prompt answer. . .1 i !_ Oil "\y nat is ine largest city in xoicnigau i "Detroit." "Where is the Great University of Michi gan located ?" "At Ann Arbor." "What is the capital of Pennsylvania ?" "Harrisburg." "Which is the largest city in Pennsyl vania?" "Philadelphia." "What building is there in Philadelphii that is dear to the heart of every patriotic American citizen ?" That was a poser; the class was troubled but made no answer. The doctor repeatet the question. "I know," said a little fellow on a bacl seat, as he stretched up his arm to its ful length. "Tell us what it is, then, my boy," said thi doctor. "The Mint," was the confident answer. A Lesson in Politeness.?A friend o Dean Swift one day sent him a turbot, as i present, by a servant who had frequently been on similar errands, but bad never re ceived anything for his trouble. Havinj gained admission, he opened the study dooi and putting the fish on the floor, cried out rudely: ? "Master sent you a turbot" "Young man," said the dean, rising fron his easy chair, "is that the way you deliver i message? Sit down in my chair; we wil change places, and I will teach you how V behave in the future." The boy sat down, and the dean, going out came up to the door, and, making a low bow said: "Sir, master presents his kind compliments hopes you are well, and requests your accept ance of a small present." "Does he?" replied the boy. "Return bin my best thanks, and here's a half crown fo yourself." The dean, thus caught in his own trap laughed heartily and gave the boy half i crown for his ready wit. The teacher, as wel as the scholar, received a lesson that time The boy certainly knew enough to make hi way through the world." A Pity to Cut it.?Ezekiel Hayes, th great-grandfather of the President, was i successful mechanic in Connecticut, and kep a number of apprentices. It is said tha sometimes, like apprentices, in all ages, the; felt that they had long work and short ra tions. At one time a new cheese was put 01 the table whole. It stood uncut for a day o two, Hayes saying at each meal, "That is i nice-looking cheese. It is a pity to cut it!' The boys thought this was growing rathe monotonous, and planned to show their senti ments. The blacksmith one day got a bar o iron nicely heated, and laid it across the iroi anvil to be cut the proper lengths. The boys with chisels and sledges, were to cut it ofl But no hand was raised. Hayes asked wh; it was they did not "strike." One of then replied: "That is such a nice bar of iron ; i would be a pity to cut it."

HJisiffUatttiJUS Reading, j i . A MILLIONAIRE PLANTER. ' WHO CONTROLS THE NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET. Edward Richardson lives in Jackson, Mis| sissippi, but he has property interests all over the State. He owns nineteen plantations in r the marvellously rich river country above g ; Vicksburg, including parts of Washington ] and Issaquena counties, and the Yazoo dis- t " trict. He has 18,000 acres under cultivation, g 15,000 of them in cotton. He raises about r 10,000 bales, or 45,000,000 pounds of cotton t annually. He has 3,000 acres in corn and '] oats for the support of his stock and his e people. And yet he has not land enough. . Whenever a planter is hard up and wants to . sell his place for cash, he applies first to old 11 . Ned Richardson, knowing that from him he o will get a cash offer, though a low one. I " heard Mr.. Richardson offer the owner of a . plantation $8,000 cash for land which the t ; latter valued at $15,000 ; and, though the of- ^ > fer was at first refused, I was under the iraSression that it would ultimately be accepted. 1 [or is Mr. Richardson's distinction derived s > only or solely from bis plantations. He con- i 5 trols the cotton market to a higher degree t than any other living man. He is the "Old j. r Hutch" of New Orleans. When he takes snuff all the other brokers sneeze. As mem- . I ber of the first firm, in point of the volume 1 3 of business, he receives and disposes of more a j than 100,000 bales of cotton annually. He r I is the heaviest exporter. He has constantly t the largest supplies on hand. For instance, j j when cotton sold, soon after the crop was marf keted, for eight cents and a fraction, he kept J t back the bulk of his crop. He has sold most * of it since February. Last week he let a lot s go for 11 and 12 cents. He has still 1,100 t bales back, on which he expects to realize over r 3 13 cents. "If I hadn't waited," said Mr. { 3 Richardson, "I would have quit loser on the ( ^ year. But I'll make a little something on | last year's crop, and, if the indications for this * year don't fail, or this exodus don't break ( j things, I ought to clear $50,000 to $100,000 * on this year." Mr. Richardson was not boast- ( ,, ing. These statements were pried out of him by questions on other points. His shrewdness 1 as a cotton dealer is evident, moreover, by the ! f fact that, while he is selling at the highest ( '? price he bought at the lowest. 1 3 As chief owner of the cotton and woolen i 3 mills at Wesson, Miss., in which he now runs i f 10,000 spindles, and is putting in 5,000 more, ( * he has to buy 4,300 to 4,400 bales of cotton j f annually, near the mills, when he does not ? plant himself. All this was put in at 8 cents ' '* and a fraction per pound. If it could be sold ( !* now, the profit on it would be about 835,000. i ? This would make it worth while to close the I mills, but for the throwing of the operatives ] 1 out of employment. It is not a simple thing j ' here, where new hands would be hard to obtain, to shut down work and let the operatives 1 ' go ; and on this account Mr. Richardson has ' h not attempted to reduce wages during all the I r hard times. He says, indeed, that these cot- \ r ton mills are profitable. And there is, conse- i quently, no reason why wages should be ree duced. The mills return about 12$ per cent. ^ B regularly on the capital invested. The cotton they use is all bought at the door, and costs ( usually two and a fraction cents less per pound 1 2 than that used in Massachusetts. At the or- 1 . dinary price of cotton last year this would be < . a difference of 25 per cent, in favor of the t r South. The labor here is also cheaper; and t wherever the capital can be obtained at reasonable rates, such enterprises, in the opinion of Mr. Richardson, are always bound to sue- s ceed. Their success would mean more, he be- 1 lieves also, than the profit of a few fortunate t . individuals. If there were as many cotton r mills in Mississippi, in proportion to popula- < tion, as there are in Massachusetts, the labor t problem would be solved. There would be a place to use labor which cannot now be em- a . ployed in the field. Poor whites and members c of the negro family, who are now burdens on ? the community, would be bread-wiouers. Mr. s j Richardson cited a number of instances of ab- t c solute paupers, white and colored, who had j become self-sustaining in his mills, and assert| ed that 435 out of the 530 employed therein j would have done nothing for their own liveli- r hood if they had not been offered these situ a- c c tions. I asked why the mills were put at a 1 distance from the river, apparently at an out- . ?^ fnorr rvlonn Tt, a anQivor n?no that thpv I Ui'tHO'noj J/ldVW* AUV WUWUV1 ffMW VM?>V VMVJ J. 0 were then in the midst of a rich wool growing section. The mills use 1,300 to 1,400 bales of wool, or 600,000 to 700,000 pounds; and all 1 the wool, as well as all the cotton, is brought s f to the door on wagons, from the neighboring s 1 country. Jeans, striped coltons and brown , 7 goods are the principal products of the mills. r '* Mr. Richardson owns a cotton seed oil mill I on the Mississippi, and has many other small I '? irons in the fire; but these only do, as Col. ^ Sellers says, "for side investments," to keep ? his money employed. He is reputed to be I worth from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, and 1 1 though he and his partner at New Orleans j a have $1,400,000 already advanced on the 1 growing crop, they have still left more money 3 than they know how to employ. They are c frightened away from government bonds by 8 the prospect of only 4 per cent., but they are s '? after investments that will yield 10 to 12 per cent.? Correspondence Chicago Tribune. I, ? c r How the Battlerground in the Wil- ? derness Looks.?I went over the Wilderness t i route, writes a correspondent of the' Cincin- s r nati Enquirer, in sight almost all the way of ? the leading roads on which Lee's army had i, moved out from behind the Rapidan to strike i Grant in the line of march for Richmond. 1 At that time no railroad existed through the c i. Wilderness. A narrow gauge railroad of very I 8 rough quality, about thirty-nine miles long, r now reaches the whole distance from Orange ^ to Fredericksburg, passing within sight of t e Chancellorsville, within a short distance of 1 the Wilderness Tavern, and crossing Mine ' Run, where Meade lost so much time on a t ^ high railroad trestle; the railroad also crosses j f the lines of march of Grant after he left s r his camps around Culpeper and crossed the t 1 Rapidan at Raccoon and Germania fords. r The Wilderness at the present day has * * onlv changed as far as building small station e houses and incipient towns along the railroad F r goes. It is one the poorest pieces of country t * in Virginia, originally dug over to find sur- a 1 face iron ore; these ore pits have been a 1 changed by the rains into gullies, which fig'?'ured in the great battles thereabout. All the trees in sight are either a sickly oak or a v ^ stunted pine. There are few creeks of any 8 1 kind running from the Wilderness proper s * until you come to the sources of the Mattapo- r [ ny, where the country grows more fertile. f : This region is a sort of hill land, between r the sources of various rivers, whose orginal 5 soil of clay mold was washed off by the ^ 3 heavy rains, and has long ago disappeared in- * ) to the river bottoms. r t They were getting out railroad ties at about i< : every point we saw in the wilderness, and \ r also hoop staves?the former to go to Eu- v r rope.

ROBERT LATHAN. ~ = i [Original ] . GROW IN" GRACE. ( Whatever God, in creation, providence or 1 edemption, has bestowed upon us, may, with { trict propriety of speech, be called a gracfe. t Everything we have and are, except sin, is 1 he gift of God. Usually, however, the word ;race is restricted in its application to those t ich and precious gifts which are included in i he redemption-purchase of Jesus Christ. ^ PhMo nrfi verv numerous, comprehending i verythiug that is necessary to 6t us for glory. ? rVlmtever is bestowed upon us in this world 9 grace, and the perfection or consummation { if grace is glory. Hence the Psalmist says: 1 'The Lord will give grace and glory." It must be remembered that though every- j hing connected with the salvation of sinners, \ rom beginning to end, is of grace, still, God, 1 n his wisdom and matchless goodness, has j een fit to make us co-laborers with himself 1 n this great work. God has so ordered it J hat every man has a work to do. This work , le must do himself. No one of his fellows < an perform it for him, and'God will not do t. It is true that God promises assistance, j md is faithful in keeping this promise; but < nore than this he does not propose to do. No man can perform the work which God \ las accomplished. God asks no man to un- 1 lertake it. No man can make an atonement or sin. This God has done, and nothing can ] o incense him as for any mortal to attempt 1 o atone for sin. The Jews, for rejecting the ighteousness of God and for going about to establish their own righteousness, were driv- ] in from the land of their fathers, and made 1 0 wander in every land without a national ixistence. Jesus Christ furnishes, in his obedience and <j leath, all that the law of God requires, in >rder to justification. The Holy Spirit creates 1 new heart. In all this the sinner is as the i ;lay in the hands of the potter. God com- I nands all men to repent It is the duty of ill men to repent. No mau can be saved * without repentance. All men are commandid to believe. It is the duty of all men to ( relieve. No man can be saved without faith, lesus Christ was exalted, by the right hand )f God, to be a Prince and Saviour, to give epentance and forgiveness of sins; (Acts, >: 31,) and faith is the gift of God. Phil. 1: 29. Both faith and repentance are graces ; mt in their full development the individuals lpon whom they are bestowed are co-laborers | vith God. When, then, we are commanded o grow in grace, we are to understand that < ve are commanded togrow?in repentance and : n faith. ( One of the ruinous delusions of the Wicked i Dne, is that there .is no growth in either faith ' >r repentance. This is the fatal theory which , nultitudes reduce to practice. Some, we j mow not how many, are so far victims of this lelusion, as to feel that they have discharged ] heir whole duty when they have, under a i emporary conviction of conscience, confessed ( heir sins and joined the church. This one . ict gave them relief. It banished all their ; ears, seared their consciences, and enabled '< hem to fold their arras in ease. When the ninister of the gospel repeats these words, j 'Repent ye and believe the gospel," these vie ' ims of this delusion constantly say to them- ] elves, "That does not apply to me; I am a j :hild of God; I repented and believed the i fospel long ago; I am done with repentance J tnd accepting of Jesus." That some reason bus is clear to every one. There are not a ' ew professed Christians who are just where ; hey were at the time they made a profession of | eligion. They have made no progress in the 1 livine life. They are at ease in Zion. 1 That would be a strange farmer who would ] )lant his seed and then conclude that he had 10 more to do but wait, patiently, until the , larvest period arrived. The analogy between ] rnture and grace, in some things, is very 1 triking. The stately oak was once very J mall. There was a period in its history when j t could scarcely be discerned by the eye. The nan was once the little boy. There was a J leriod when there was none of him. (Psalm j .39:16) only in the mind of God. The i ;erm of this oak grew until it became a state- ( y tree?the prince of the forest?and the . lelpless, tiny babe, grew into a man. The ucipiency of the new creature in Christ Jesus ian be discovered only by God. No man :an mark the line which separates between ; in individual's being dead in trespasses and : ins, and being quickened into life. Ample provision has been made for the jrowth of believers in grace. This is the jreat work of the gospel ministry. Jesus old Peter to feed his lambs and feed his heep. All things are so arranged and so ;overned by the Redeemer, that they shall vork together for the good of those who have >een brought out of the darkness of sin and leath, iuto the light and liberty of the gospel, t is the fixed purpose of God to prepare his ansomed people for heaven. To prepare for leaven, means nothing more, nor nothing less, hau to grow in grace. That we may grow in grace, we must use he divinely appointed means for this pur>ose. We must read and study the Bible, md diligently attend upon the preaching of he gospel. Besides this, we must watch and >ray. No man can pray himself into heavn. That is, there is no atoning merit in >rayer. True as this is, it is still true that 10 sinner ever got into heaven without asking idoiittance. "Seek and ye shall find; ask .nd ye shall receive; knock and it shall be ipened unto you," is the order of heaven. It vill not avail us anything to say, "We can ee no necessity for watching and praying, tnce our salvation is all of grace." As well night the husbandman say, "It is of no use or me to plant and cultivate, since I cannot nake a crop without rain and sunshine, and iver the sun and clouds I possess no control." q rl 111 nr?>n t tli q t. nm.lfpt.Vi I ? t Id LUC lUliiU VX IUU MXt^VAJV VMMW J ich, and, on the contrary, the sluggard and ? dler have want continually.

Liberty is a great word ; and so is duty. t Ve must not forget, or allow others to forget, t iow much of life's happiness, sweetness and ( isefulness is obtained by bending to our duies, and being like him who came not to be ninistered unto, but to minister. * J | It is a mistake to expect to receive wel-1 ome hospitality, words of cheer, and help j ver rugged and difficult passes in life, in re-! urn for bold selflshness, which cares for noth- j r i)g in the world but self. | ? anil ~1 WATS OYER THE FARM. Others may acquire a right of way over your 'arm in either one of three modes: 1st, By jurchase or grant from you. 2d, By long :ontinued use or prescription. 3d, By actual lecessity. As to the first method, to gain a jermanent right by purchase or grant, it must lave been by a regular and complete deed, ex;cuted in the same way as a deed of the land tself. If the bargain was only oral, or if it vas even in some simple written paper, but lot in a formal deed under seal, it would, even ;hougli fully paid for, be in law revocable?a nere license as it is called?and might be terninated at the mere wish of the land-owner, iy a notice to the other party to use it no ontrer. Being a kind of interest in land, the itrict law requires it to be conveyed by a deed. 2. The second mode, by prescription, retires length of time?twenty years at least; md the way must have been used continuousy, peaceably, and under a claim of right to do io, and not by your permission or consent. If t was only very rarely used, if it was not peaceably used, but against your protest, or if ised by your tacit consent, the use would not il>en into a legal right, however long continued. And, if used under all those conditions, t must have been in some regular and uniform place. No man can gain a right by such neans to wander over your farm just where lie has a mind to or where his convenience suits him. That would be an intolerable burlen to the farmer. To gain this right by twenty years' use, it is lot necessary that any one owner should have ;raveled it twenty years. If successive own-; srs have unitedly used it for that period, it ivould be sufficient, so far as length of time is i concerned. And if this prescriptive right of way was gained only by using it for some particular purpose, as for carting wood from a wood-lot beyond,-that would not authorize the [>erson to continue to use it for all purposes, ifter the wood had been cut off, and it had been covered over with buildings. 3. The third mode, by necessity, arises when you sell a man a back lot., with no means for him to get to any highway, except over your remaining land. The law gives him a right to cross your land to and fro; otherwise his land would be useless. At present he can't reach it by balloon to any practicable purposes? and, therefore, he must cross your land. . So, if you sell a man all your front land, retaining the back part sold, you retain a right to cross the lot sold, though your deed in such case says nothing about it ; and this is so, even if in your deed you warrant the land to be free and clear from all incumbrances. It is a familiar maxim that '"necessity knows 110 law." But the right of way by necessity continues only so long as the necessity itself continues; -i :ji _ til 111 II ct liigiiWitjr it) ttiici naiuo iaiu uut iuuuuing the back land on the other side, or if the owner afterwards buys a lot adjoining it and between it and a highway, he can no longer cross over your land as before, but must go out the other way. And so long as he does have such a right he must go in such place as you designate, if it be a reasonable place. If you mark out a road or a way along the fence, or on the poorer ground, he should confine himself to that. And if the way becomes miry or out of repair, he must keep it in good, condition if he wants to use it. Your duty is done when you allow him to cross ; you are not obliged to smooth his pathway for him. and rake out the sticks and stones. But ir you actually obstruct his usual road, or if it becomes suddenly impassable by natural causes, he would have a right to deviate to one 3ide until he has opportunity to remove the , obstructions. All such rights of way are apt to be nuisances to the farmer, and not unfrequently lead to litigation. ? It is important to know that, in whatever mode a right of way is acquired over your land, you have ordinarily a right, in the absence of any stipulation to the contrary, to erect suitable gates or bars at the entrances thereto from the highway; and if the other party leave them open, and cattle get in, or yours get out, he is liable to you for the damage which ensues. . Tally Several for the Toad.?-Many gardeners already appreciate the valuable services of the common toad, and afford them protection for their insect destroying propensities, while as many more perhaps are ignorant of their usefulness. To the latter class it may be interesting to know that toads live almost wholly upon slugs, caterpillars beetles and other insects,- making their rounds at night when the farmer is asleep?and the birds too?and the insects are supposed to be having it all their own way. English gardeners understand these facts so well that toads are purchased at so much a dozen and turned ' loose, and the best of it is the toads generally stay at home, so the gardener is not troubled with buying his own toads over again every few days. The toad can be tamed gnd will easily learn to know "its master," and come when called; the writer has not only had such pets himself, but could give other instances of toad taming that have come under his observation. Toads san be made useful about the house, and will Jo not a little good in destroying cockroaches, dies and other household pests. They are sometimes known to eat worms, which they ?rasp by the middle with their jaws, cram- ( ming in the ends of the unfortunate articulates by means of the front feet. Insects are 1 seized and conveyed to the mouth by. means of the rapidly darting tongue which always secures the victim as it is about to fly or run iway.?Neve York Tribune. Nicotine Poisoning.?A rather unusual case of nicotine poisoning occurred lately in a Parisian suburb. The victim, a man in the prime of life, had been cleaning his pipe with i clasp knife. With this he accidently cut one if his fingers subsequently, but as the wound was of a trivial nature he paid no heed to it. Five or six hours later, however, the cut finder grew painful and became much swollen. The inflammation rapidly spread to the arm and shoulder, the patient suffering such in- , tense pain that he was obliged to betake him- < self to his bed. Medical assistance was called in and ordinary remedies applied ineffectually. The sick man, questioned as to the manner in which he had cut himself, explained the use to which the pocket knife had been ipplied, adding that he had omitted to wipe it , ifter cleaning his pipe. The apparent mystery | which surrounded the case was thus cleared up, and as the patient's state had become ilarming he was carried to the hospital. Uppn his admission, the doctors attached to the institution declared that in the immediate ! imputation of his arm lay the only hope of saving the patient's life. The poisoned member was, therefore, amputated ; but in spite of the'promptitude with which the operation was performed, the man lies in no precarious a conlition that the chances of his recovery are iaid to be slight.?From the Parisian. True Farmer.?The true farmer is he who raises big crops and at the same time improves lis land; who understands his business, attends to it and dots it ; whose stock are the iest and in the best condition ; whose fences ire always in good repair ; whose farm build- i ngs are commodious and neat; whose dwelling has the appearance of the home of civilized . >eople ; whose com crib and smoke houses are full of corn and meat raised by himself; who is surrounded by all the necessaries and comforts if life ; who studies his profession and strives 1 ;o reach the perfection of farm economy, and f mows at the end of the year exactly what he las made, what he has expended and how he stands with the world. lie may not cultivate argely ; he may be only that despicable thing, i "patch farmer," but in reality he is incalcuably a better farmer than the "line," the 'splendid" and the "biggest planters out," . ind the time is rapidly approaching when to . follow his improved system, emigrate or starve, will be the only alternative left to those who lespise agricultural improvement, boast of lever reading an agricultural book or journal, ind fancy what they don't know is not worth mowing. Damp Closets.?In damp closets^ and cup- 1 >oards generating mildew, a trayiui ui ijuiukime will be found to absorb the moisture and ender the air pure. Of course, it is necessary ;o renew the lime from time to time, as it lecomes fully slaked. igfFood digests more rapidly if fat be mixed ivith it.

MoLANE'S Celebrated American ' WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and leadencolored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pupils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid; the nose is irritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds; a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a knawing sensation of the stomach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in' the stomach; occasional nausea and vomiting; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels irregular, at times costive; stools slimy; not unfrequently tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard; urine turbid; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper variable, but generally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY in anv form: it is an innocent prepara tion, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the tnost tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Vermifuge bears the signatures of C. Mo Lane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper. ?:o:? DR. C. McLANES LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. As a simple purgative they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane* spelled differently but same pronunciation. February 13 7 ly A.
