I would announce to my friends and tl public generally, that I have the agenicy f the sale of the following named Fertilizer DnIminffft ~i~A Phiiiitnhat6~. I This important organ weighs but about three pounds, and all the blood in a living person about three g:-ionsi pa:ses through it at least once every half hour, to have the bile and o:her imouritius str,:ined or filtered from it. 1lilc is the natural purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver beco:aes torpid it is not separated frrom the blood, but carried through the veins to all parts of the system, and in trying to es Icape through the porcs of the skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown color. The stom ach becomes diseased, and Dyspepsia, Indi gestion, Constipation, Headache, Biliousness, S Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility follow. ,1 ER RELt' SHEPATIS, the great vegetable dis covery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw off from one to two ounces of bile each time the blood passes through it, as long as there is an excess of ble; and the effect of even a few doses upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking skin, will astonish all who try it-they being the first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bilious diseases and Liver complaint is made certain by taking HEPATINE in accord * ance with directions. Aeadache is generally cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that N arises from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is iv'en. SOLD AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PILLS BY ALL DRUGGISTS.

That used to blossom under my feet; ever a smile for the glad green earth, And the meadows spangled with daises sweet. re hare learned the lesson of life, my heart, And we are so tired of heavy tears. bw can the May-time seem as fair As It used to seem in the bygone years? ow can we choose but sit and dream, With a hopeful smile, of a time to be rhen all that is bitter will be forgot, And the daises will nod over you and me? 'HiE WI1FFS AMLBITION1 -0 "It's a hard rub to gct along, ttle wife, isn't it ?" said Gerald lay as be closed his account book, nd io0ked somewhat ruefully at e solitary one dollar bill whiph j 7as all that remained of his 1onth's salary after the house eeping bills were settled, and the eut paid, and the outstanding ac ounts at the dry goods stores alanced up satisfactorily. Mabel May was kneeling on be hearth rug. toasting a piece of read for her husband's supper. he turned around, with cheeks ushed by the fire light, gpd rosy ps apart. "Oh! Gerald," said she, "I do ry so hard to be economical !" "Of course you do, little chick," aid May, legning over to capture; ne particular curi of redd1ish irown hair that was drooping, in olors of gold, over the fair fore Lead; and giving it an affectionate ttie twitch. * "D)on't I know that 'ithout you telling me ? "But I wish I could help you," ied out Mabel. "Oh, I wish I :new of any way to earn money nyself!" Gerald MIay looked at her with n amused snile. "My dear," said he, "one would *s soon expect an oversized doll o ern money J" "Other women do," said Mabel, ritically surveying the slice of )read, to make sure that it was Lrtisticaly brown on both sides. "But you are such a child !" "I am two and twenty," said Iabel solemnly. "Gonsense!" said Gerald. "Whbat ould you do to earn money ?". Mabel colored a little at the de )reciatory tone of the words. "Gerald," said she, "I do wish ro would treiat rie more like a. woman and less like a child. Don't you suppose that I have as nuch talent as tbe rest of my "Gerald laughed good humorea y. "Pour out the tea, cara," said ie, before you go on rhapsodizing! )f course1I know that you're a dear ittle puss, and can make an ome lette or a shirt with any woman an Cristendomn! But you can't rite a stirring book like George Eliot., nor paint a grand picture ike Rosa Bon hour !" "Of course I don't aspire to any such greatness as that," said Ma el impatiently ; "but I can sing." "You've got a nice little voice enough," said her husband, patro nizingly, "for tbe parlor ; but as otmaking money out of it, I hard ly think you'll tind it so easy." "You don't think I can do any thing," cried Mabel, half indig nantly. "Only just because I am a woman," "Some women can drive fate single-anded,' said Gerald May, ipping his tea with provoking nnchalance, "but you are not one of the sort, my dear !" But long after Gerald had light ed his student lamp and comn . .iuodhis evening avocation of copying law papers, by which pursuit he added a slender sum to the income which would otherwise have been quite inl. sufficient for even the slender wants of the youg married pair, Mabel sat with folded hands gaz ing into the red coals, as if she could read there some clue to the problem of her life. "Only one dollar left of our month's money after our months bills are all settled." said Mrs. May to herself, screwing up her little rosebud of a mouth. "Oh, dear ! this isn't the way to get rich. We must make a little money somehow. I can't write love stories and poetry, and I won't sew for starvation prices; and I don't see my way clear to being a shop girl or a cashier, even if any body would employ me, because there is dear old Gerald to be looked after and kept comfortable. But I do think I could sing. if I only obtained the chance. M. Martelli, at boarding school, used to say I had a good soprano. I'll ask Mrs. Lacy, up stairs, to let me practice a little on her piano, and then I'll try my fortune. Gerald Would say it was all nonsense but then I don't mean to ask Gerald's advice !" And three or four weeks after \'ads0, when 4irs. 21ay presented! herself, trembling and 'fluttered, before Signor Severo, that musical autocrat viewed her, with favora ble eyes, through an immense pir pf toroio se hell eye glasses. "You adyertised for a soprano, sir," said Mabel, turning carmine and white by turns. "Certainly, madam, I did," said the signor. "For ze phoir of 4t. Eudocia, in Magnolia Square." %Will you please try inc ?" "Wiz ze greAtest of pleasure, madame!" briskly opening the huge grand piano which stood like family coffn in the middle of the room. 1.4nd what will you sing ?" "Whatever you please, sir." Signor Severo rustled a piece of music out of drift somnp three feet high on the floor. "Biein ! We w ill try zis," said Jip strupk the chords, and rising up on the wings of~ the sublime harmony, Mabel's voice soared like a bird. Signor Severo nodded when the arie was over and rubbed his hands gleefully. "Madaime," said bei "it is strong -it is sweet. You have one good idea of time and tune-you know how to manage ze voice." "And you will give me a. trial ?" Mabel's heart was beating so rapidly, that she could hardly spea. The signor podded. "And if ze musical committee accept you-mind, madame, I do not say zey will, for of all com mittees, musical comnmittees are he nost gpig~iog-we will give you ze salar'ie of six hundred dol laires ze year. I plaz ze organ; I leads the choir, when it will be lead at all," with a comical shr'ug of the shoulders, "and I shall you most cordially recommend." Six hundred dollars! Mabel May tripped home as if her light feet were flying over rose-colored clouds, instead of muddy March pavements. Why, that was as much as Messrs. Stint & Scrape paid Gerald for his drudgery work behind the bookkeeper's desk. Six hundred dollars ! it would double their little income at once, and enable them to lay something by for the rainy day, that comes to every one, sooner or later. Oh ! ould it be possible that such good luck was in store for her? lt was late on Sunday night, when Gerald May sat yawning before nis solitary fire. Mabel had been spending the day and evening with a friend-or at least o she said-and Gerald was be ginning to realize bow lonely home was without its pervading At length the door opened and Mabel came in, rosy and dimpled, and wrapped in a huge shawl. "Have you been very lonesome, dear ?" she said, ra'diantly. "I've felt like Robinson Crusoe on his desert island," said Gerald with a grimace. "And what sort of a day 1:%.j you had, little woman ''Oh, pleasallt enough," evasiVe ly. "But tell me, Gerald, how have you whiled away the time ( "I've been to a fashiollawl church," said Mr. May, "St. E docia's, im Magnolia Square. A! ( I must take you there, Mabel, ! hear the music!

Mrs. May's fice was turned away as she was fasteuing a loose button in h1er boot. "The finest soprano I have evcr heard," cried Gerald, enthsiasti. cally. "You must listen to her, Mabel !" The young n ife turned to him, with brimming eyes and cheeks suffused with crimson. "Gerald," said she, "I must tell you a secret. I, too, was at St. Eudotia's church this morning." "And you heard that delicious SOpranoO "Yes-no-I don't know wheth I did or not. Gerald," flinging her arms around his neck, "I was the soprano at St. Eudocia's. Oh, Gerald forgive me for keeping you in ignorance so long, but I dared pot iell you until I knew pozitive ly that I should either succeed or fail. And, heaven be praised! I have succeeded." Gerald's eyes, too, were full in spite of his assumed stoicism. "My little darling," he whis pe.ed, caressingly. "And I sup pose they pay you .some trifling salary F 1,ix hundred dollars a year, erald," she answere4 with inno cent tri4niph. "W bat" he involuntarily ex. claimed. "That's something worth having. Why, yon must be a genius, little wife'l" "We can save a little now, dear, she said lightly ;"and you needn't take any more o tha tirosome law copying, and I can hire a piano to practice wvith, and and-oh, Gerald, I am so hiappy !~ For Mabel 41ay bad at, last sue ceded in attaining the goal ol her feminine ambiLion, and she wouldn't have envied England3 queen that night. WHAT A DULL BOY C&Mi TO. "HIow many children have you "Tetter tlaan a dor,en," said my:. father, smiling and rubbing hi~ ands. "Is it possible !" they wouk repy ; "what a family, 13 chiil dren !" "'Wby, no," said my father, "yol mistake-only 10, which I pre sume you will think better than: Idozen." My thther was inclined to lool upon the dark side of life, but nie moter was an exceedingly prac tical 'womnan, full of life and ener gy, an excellent buitter and chees maker, while she could1 cure th best hams and bacon in the coun ty. She was always busy, an consequently had no time to b gloomy. My father used to trom ble himself about one of the olde boys whom he fancied was stupi He used to tell his dismal fort bodings to my mother. "That boy wil never' make any thing," said he. "Ask him t fetch a pitchfork or a rake, an he will stare at you as though hi never heard of a pitch fork in hi life. Tell him to go after th cows, and you'll find him tw bours after sitting on the fenc staring at vacancy." Then bi would shake his head and sa)~ 'Oh yes, Dan will have to he pr vided for all his days." My mother exercised the mot sense in this matter, I think, for sh mflado the best of the young man laziness, as we all called it. Sb used to put Dan, when he we quite a young man, to churninl and she used to put me, a mei child, to watch him. She usedt say, "Now, Harriet, you sta *r11nd the dairy, and when Pan s8::i Vou start him up." Tim, turn, tum, went the paddle I t he dasher for about 10 minutes, t*ien it would slowly stop and the ci-Owner would be lost in thought. 'i'zi I would remind him, but a pI; miuutes after lie would stop. .111 and bring out from his pcke t a small Euclid, while agaill 1 would faithfully give him the necessary f.drmonitions. My father kept several hundred She0p and after shearingz, the vool was stored sometimes for nimoths in the large wco' room. biiit fur that purpose, next to the granary in the brick barn. "Where is that boy ?" asked my flather. "It is not much that I care. for the work, but it dis tresses me to think of his growing up in such indolent habits. Hat., go and And him, and tell him to go to work cutting turnips." I was not long in accomplishing this errand. Behind the immense pile of fleeces I could always find my gentle brother Dan., not whit tli'g, nor whistling, nor wasting his time (as we all know now), buL diligently poring over a large volume, which he had borrowed from the village schoolmaster. It must have been a book on chem istry, for there were mysterious wol,d- and characters in'it-gyp sum, silica, alumina, carbon, etc. I used to look at him, then at tile sign&, and think to myself, I don't know, but there is pert irly iometuing queer about the boy. W by don't be read some interest ing story book, or borrow Shake speare, like my older sisters, and read that, on t?e aig as they o. i had ieurd a senr.e of honor from the boys, and I 4eyer told my f;tner of the readings (in their various characters), either of my sisteis or my brothers. I think I thwre was a mig; her.e ; my Ither was an intelligent man, and if he had taken the trouble to look into the different disposi tions, tastes gnd haits of' his chilidre.n, my brother Dan., prob ;ioly might have been encouragred in his peculiar prospnity to in veugteinto the~ deep mysteries of' chemistry and science. IBut, to put th story short, my brother surprised my father one day by showing him a letter from a well-known professor in an ex perimental college offerng him a salary, wNg~h enlarged my fathers eyes in more senses than one. it was Dan., who became the gam fort of mny faaysdpiigyas igrd whol was made the adminis tratlor of his estate. It was Dan-' wh clse dh my father's eyes, an my mother control the younger children, and be always tenider with his sisters, a commission most tenderly fulfilled. * " s TUIs SEAr OCCUPIED ?"-A n old but vigorou s.looking gentle man ,seemingly fromn the rural dis ticts, got into a car anid walked i tsull length without receiving an invitation to sit down. Ap poabing one gentleman; who bad a whole benach to himself, he asked : "Is this seat occupied ?" "Yes, sir, it is," impertinently re plied the other. 'MWell," replied the broad-shoulder'ed agricultu rist, "I will keep this seat until the gerntleman comes." The original prorietor withdrew h i m s e 1 f haughtily to one end, and looked insulted. After awhile the train get in motion, and still nobody came to claim the seat, wvhereupon the deep-chested agriculturist turned and said : "Sir, when you told me tis seat was occupied you told me a lie"-such was his plain lan uae"I never sit near a liar if I can avcid it; I would rather stnd up." Then appealing to an other party, he said : "Sir, may 1 sit next to you ? You don't oo?: lke a liar." We ne ad ly say that lbe got his seat, and that the original proprietor thought that there was something wrong about our social system. (Baltimore Gazette.

DEAR IIERALD : What a o-rand, perfect day it is. There is a Subbith like hush on the dear old hills, broken Now and then by a strain of entrancin melody from the throat of sone cour 4gcous mocking-bird who. auticipathng the glories of sunner, thus givQS ut Lterance to its joy. Verily the dav is i perfect psalm, ov;rflowilig with pro. missive beautics and blessin. ; so per rect in f-act that we have eschewed the household gods and are here sit ting on the steps of the old bridge where rest and quiet hold genial sway. From afar comes the musical ring af the smith's anvil and the distant tapping of busy hammers telling that lormant energies no longer latent lie. Softly falls the fountains crystal waters into its basin of "grani'e so grey" )verflowing which it wends its way to the bright streamlet beyond, and to. ether they wind their way like a sil ver ribbon through brake and fallow. "Though men may come and nipn may go they go on fore%e.'2 As they flow Dn thought bows back and we think pf the time when Williawston was an unbroken forest. As that was long before we had entered upon life's busy stage, its history comes bac to us through the dip shaded avenues of 1;e pas;, eushrouded with all the halo )f romance and the glamour of tradi. tion ; but let me tell the tale to you as 'twas told to rue. It was during the year 1845, when the site now graced by the pretty vil lage of Willianiston was a dense wood, where squirrels gamboled and birds sang undisturbed by enn the sight of a sporftmau iii his "Lincoln green" ha't Mr. Allen Williams, the proprie tor of said wood -nd the honored gen tiemai from whom W. derives. its name, was strolling through his do. ain, being weary with the heat and the unasql diziance which he had walked, threw himself down to rest on the greensward, overcome with fa. tigue he fell asleep and dreamed a very -emarkable dream. Upon awak ing'he repeated the dream to a little lad who accom;oanied him. I cannot remmer the exact words, but it ran in this wise: Hie dreamed he saw the gigantic trees laid low and picturesque eottages rise in their stead, he heard an incessant roar accompanied by clang of bells, this he predicted would be the graceful monument of steam sweeping its dizzy train through the prospective town, converting the wilderness into a busy commercial mart; But most wonderful of -al in his dream he saw a sadling spring, which from|its great medicinal properties would be as the balm of Gilead for the healing of many nations. Having finished relating his dream he looked around for water wherewith to quench his thirst and beheld but a short distance a tiny pool. He stooped to drink and lo ! was found the "Mineral Spring." Some months after this Mr. Williams had the water analyzed and it was found to contain valuable medicinal qualities. The present park was then enclosed, the spring crowned with a neat granite basin and donated as a gift to the vil lage, which was still in prospective. Mr, W. was generous to a fault and many were the recipients of his lavish bounty. Hie likewise presented lots to the Baptist, Presbyterian and Meth odist denominations, whereon our churches now stand, commemorative monuments of his generosity. 'Tis a happy thought to know the good man lived to see the realization of his won derful dream. The little village rose in all its rural beauty, the shrill whis tie of the incoming train broke the solemn stillness of shadowy eve, and strangers flocked to the wondrous spring. Long ago the dreamer has passed away, but so long as flows the crystal water of the spring he discov ered, so long will his name be reveren tially remembered. "Requiescat in pace." We would that we could enhance the attractions of our "Auburn." We all admit that the summers are the brightest bits of coloring in the year's landscape. They bring us old friends and new acquaintances, and sometimes "Prince Charming" comes to town. Really the summer season is quite as much of an event to us (though of a more pleasing character) as the "En gish ships" were to the quiet farmer of "Grand Pre." Our park is always pleasant, just the place to read and enjoy "David Copperfield," whose chief charm to me is tha gran mastic character ADVERTISING RATES.

A STORY OF A TRAIL.-She was a tail, stout -individual, and sprang out of the wagon as lightly as a spring aftei' a grasshopper. He - was a little withered, dried-up weasel, and follo wed slowly, bring ing a basket of eggs with him. They entered one of our stores and she asked : 'What are ye givin' for eggs ?' _Eigt cents,' was the reply of~ the counter-jumper. 'Well, hero are three dozen,' said the fat party, "and I'll take it in calico.' 'But I want some yarn to mend my socks,' said the old man. 'Thbe weather is warm,' replied the fat party, 'and you can go without socks.' 'But my boots hurt my feet,' in sisted the old man. 'Go barefooted,' said she, rather sharply. Then turning to the clerk, she changed her tune, and remarked: 'Young man please count out the eggs and give me four vards of calico to match this 'ere dress.' 'But-' the old man was going to continue when she raised her huge index finger arid said: '-Henry Winter Davis Spriggins, them 'are eggs are mine; the hens w hat laid 'em was mine; the corn what fed 'em was mine, and I'se going to have a trail on this 'ere dress as long as Betsey Gowen's if every toe on your feet turn into gum biles.
