Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
FOR PFRlimCr THE BLOOD.
I The reputation this exI
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
^rir* A many of which are truly
i t V marvellous. Inveterate
"I cases of Scroftilous diayy
I *U! ease, where the system
J\ I |W1 seemed saturated with
.1 iHL corruption, have been
ingy^H Eg. 'iitu' purified and cured by it.
wiusr Scrofulous affections and
disorders .which were aggravated
by die scrofuvvvTsilli"11
lous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically ,
cured in such great numbers in almost every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need
to be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or Altai
diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among the
vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lnngs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows itsjireaence by eruptions
on uie (skid, or iuui uioorauoug vu ouuic |mu? ui
the body. Hence the occasional nse of a bottle
of this Sarsaparilla is advisable, even when no
active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted
with tho following complaints generally
And immediate relief, and, at length, care, by tho
nso of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony's
Fire, Rote or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Rlngtcorm, Sore Eye*,
Sore Ear*, and other eruptions or visible forms
of Scrofulous diseaso. Also in the more concealed
forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, anfl
the various I'lcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it. though a long time is required
for subduing these obstinate maladies by
any medicine. But long-continued use of this
medicine will cure the complaint. Leueorrheets
or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and Female
Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimately
cured by its purifying and invigorating
effect. Minute directions for each case are found
in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism
and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extraneous
matters in the blood, yield quickly to it,
as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion
or Inflammation of the Liver, and Jaundice.
when arising, as they often do, from the
rankling poisons (n the blood. This SARSAPARILLA
is a great restorer for the strength
and vigor of tho system. Those who ore Lan

and troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or

Weakness, will find immediate relief and convincing
evidence of its restorative power upon

WHAT FIVjE DOLLAIiS PAID.
Mr. Harriot was sitting. in his office
one day when a lad entered and handed
him a small slip of paper. It was a bill
for five-dollars, due to his shoemaker, a
poor man, who lived in the next square.'
"Tell Mr. Grapt that I will settle it
soon. It Isn't convenient to-day;".
The boy retired.
Now, Mr. Hcrriot had a five dollar,
bill in his pocket, but he felt as if he,
couldn't part with it. He didn't like, to,
be entirely out of money. So acting
from this impulse, he had sent the .boy
away. Very still sat Mr. Hcrriot for
the next five minutes. Yet his thoughts
were busy.?He was not altogether satisfied
with himself. The shoemaker was
a poor man, and needed his moneyas
earned. He was not uhadvised' ofjfiiq
fact.
"I almost wiih I had sent, the five,
dollars," said Mr. Ilerriot at length, half
audibly. "He wants it worse th^n-I do."?
He mused still further. ?, - ,
"The fact is,"he ' at length eiclaimed,
starting up, "its Grant's money, and
not mine; and what's more, he shall have
it." So
saying Herriot took up his hat and
left the office.
"Did you get the money, Charles ?"
said Grant, as the boy entered the shop.
There was a good deal of earnestness in
the shoemaker's tone. _ .
"No, sir,", replied the lad. .
"Didn't get the money ?"
"No, sir. >
"Wasn't Mr. Herriot in ?" ' ^A
"Yes, sir; hut he said it was not convenient
to-day." ^
"Un, dear, i m sorryT came trom tne
shoemaker, in a depressed voice. , .7 A
woman was sitting in Grant's shop
when the boy came in *y she had now
arisen and was leaning on the counter;
a look of disappointment was in her
face. . -v
"It can't be helped,t Mrs. Lee," said
Grant. "I was sure of getting the money
from him. He nevef disappointed
me before. Call in to-mon-ow and I'll
try and have-it for you." , ' / *
The woman looked troubled as well as
disappointed. Slowly she turned away
and left the shop. A few minutes after
her departure Herriot caipe in and after
90Dn^wo|^iof.aj^(ig>^ pai/l
'"Run and get Ibis bill changed, ' f^iia
the shoemaker to his son the moment bin
customer departed.
"Now," said ho as 3ooh as the change
was placed in his hands, "take two dollars
to Mrs. Lec, and three to Mr. Weaver
across the street. Tell Mr. Weaver
that I am obliged to him for having loaned
it to me this morning, and sorry that
I hadn t as much in the house when he
sent for it an hour ago."
"I wish I*had it, Sirs. Edelehj but I
assure you I have -not," said Mr. Weaver,
the tailor. "I paid out the last cellar
just before you came in. But call in
to-morrow and you shall have the money
to a certainty."
"But what am I to do to-day ?" I have
have not a cent to buy food with, and I
owe so much at the grocer's where I deal
that he wont trust me for for anything
more." . _
The tailor looked troubled, and the woman
lingered. Just at this moment the
shoemaker's boy entered.
"Here are three dollars Mr. Grant
borrowed of you this morning," said the
lad. "He says he's sorry .that he hadn't
the money when you sent for a while
ago. . ^
How the faces of both the tailor and
the needlewoman brightened instantly as
if a gleam of sunshine had penetrated the
I'AAm
"Here is just the money. I owe you,"
said the former in a cheerful voice, and
he handed the woman the three dollars
he had received, A moment after, he
was alone, hut with the glad face of the
poor woman whose need he had been
able to supply distinct before him..
Of the three dollars received by the
needlewoman, two went the grocer on
account of her debt to him, half was paid
to an old needy colored woman who had
earned it by scrubbing, and who was
waiting for Mrs. Edeleh's return from
the tailor's to get her dues and thus be
able to provide an evening's and morning's
meal for herself and children. The
half dollar was paid to" the baker when
he called toward evening to leave the accustomed
loaf. .Thus, the pooiLiieedlewoman
had been able to discharge four
debts, and at the same time re-establish
her credit with the grocer and baker, from

And now let us follow Mrs. Lee. On
her arrival home, empty-handed, from
the shoemaker, who owed her two dollars
for work, she found a young girl, in
whose pale face were marks of suffering
and care, awaiting her return.
The girl's countenance brightened as
she came in, but there was no answering
brightness in the countenance -of. Mrs.
Lee; who immediately said, ".I'm very
sorry Harriet, but Mr. Grant put me off
until to-morrow. He said he . hadn't a
dollar in.the house."
The girl's disappointment was" very
great, for the smile she had forced into
life instantly faded, and was succeeded
by a look of deep distress. -? - ^

When one looks upon a baby in a
purely philosophical spirit;,when one
'considers the very minuto indications of
reasoning faculties of which it is capable;
when one proceeds to mark tho ecstacies
which mothers, aunts, and women' in gen
era! are accustomed to testify on some
vague imitation imitation of reasonable
behavior, one cannot repress a momentary
regfet that so much good affections should
be discharged upon an insensible object.
Is it, one asks with some surprise, a subject
for legitimate exultation that a minute
fragment of humanity should have
learned before it, and be just able to stick
two syllables together ?-or is the^fact thatan
infant is gradually learning to oxcrcisesome
sort of control over the motions
of its limbs to be regarded by ..sensible
people in the light of an unprecedented
phenomenon ? Surely there ore people

any sensible balance, are at least as deserving
of affection and would be. infinitely
more capable of appreciating and returning
it... v
,' But we feel the danger of pursuing
this vein of thought, AVe have 'no desire
to shock prosaic persons without necessity,
and we therefore freely avow, as
'onr profound and immovable opinion,
that, as things are at present constituted
?and we can see no reason whatever
for supposing that any material change
is likely to take place within any conceivable
period?fathers ought to love
their children. Indeed, wo go further ;
we admit that a man is the better in proportion
as he retains certain feminine instincts
and has something of his mother
in his character; and that children being
so, we will venture to argue that a love
of children is generally a harmless and
even a laudable instinct. Carried to excess,
it is perhaps rather inconsistent
tvJtli Tinfrintiflm nr rnQmnnnllta.nism .ind
we observe that universal philanthropists
"who, of course, are the best of men?are
apt to be slightly callous upon this point.
But for the mass of mankind we have no
hesitation in admitting that those who
love children the most must be reckoned
among the most exemplary of the species.

IIabit.?There is perhaps, nothing
which exerts a greater influence upon a
person's life, than that of habit. It is
like a small cord that is daily strengthened,
until, at last we cannot break it; . Its
influence is beneficial or injurious according
as the habits formed are good or
bod.
Evil habits are frequently formed in
youth which prove ruinous in riper years,
for they, "like shadows, toward the eve
ning of life, grow great and monstrous."
A sort of blindness seems to possess us
in this respect, we go on from bad to worse
and are finally ruined by our own imprudent
acts, and at the same time knowing
the evil consequences of such a
course. Each one seems to have hab:i._
xi._i A- j j:_A: i.l
us mux arc peculiar to, auu lusuugtiisu
us from all other individuals; but we believe
that some are much more governed
by, and under the influence of them than
others are, or than they, themselvrs are
willing to admit, A wise mail says that
regular habits aro the true secret of success;
now, if this be true, we should
form them, but be very careful to distinguish
between good and bad, 'as evil ones
lead to ruin instead, of success. Evil
habits often originate from doing nothing
except,1J when we have the inclination,
which, in itself is an evil, and when indulged,
opens the way to many more.?
Now, by a proper exercise of the powers
of the will and better judgment, they
may be- conquered; if taken in their incipient
state; but, if wo yield to them,
