A man may be great by chance,
bat nerar wise and good without
taking pain for it
How dark would this world be
come, were earth and earthly things
our only hope had we no friends
but those as frail and fleeting asour
selvte. What is only gossip about a man,
ia scandal against a woman.
Never scare off a fly with n club
when a feather will do just as well.
We are ruined, not by what we
really want, but by what wo think
we do; therefore never go abroad iu
search of your wants. If they be
real wants they will come home in
search of you; for he that buys what
be doas not want, will soon want
what he cannot buy
Gentleness often disarms the
tierce aod melts the stubborn.
We snould have more muaio if all
intn were in tune.
Why is matrimony like sterling
coin? Because it has a genuine ring
with it.
A worthy old farmer, wh was
being worried in his croas-exami
nation by a lawyer in Maine, ex.
claimed, look here, squire, don't
you aek a good many foolish ques
lions?
Well. Bridget, if I engage you. I
shall want you to stay at home
whenever I wish to go out. Well,
ma'am, have no objections providin
you do the same when I wish to go
out.
At a certain church fair a set of
Cooper's works was promised to the
individual who should answer a set
of conundrums. A dashing young
fellow was pronounced tbe winner
and received a set of wooden pails.
A juryman was asked whether he
had been charged by the judge.
Well, said he, the little fellow
that its up in the pulpit and stares
down at the crowd gave us a lecture,
but I dont know whether be charges
anything or not.
Poor Ilichard's maxim, 'Pay as
you go, is a very good one, but if
you ever tempted to run in debt let
it be for a life insuranee policy in
favor of the girl you want to mary
ry, so that in case ycu should sUp
down and out sho may have the
wherewithal to wear a pretty mourn
ing suit and catch a better fellow.

Letter from a Postmaster.
"Antioch, III., Dec 1, 1874.
"Messrs. J. B. Rosi & Co.:
"31 y wife has, for a long time, been a
terrible sufferer from Jlheumatism. She
has t: ied many physicians and many reme
dies. The only thing which has given her
relief is Centaur Liniment. I am rejoiced
to say this has cured her. I am doing
what I can to extend its sale
W. H. RING.
This is a sample of many thousand testi
monials received, of wonderful cures
effected by the Centaur Liniment. The
ingredients of this article are published
around each bottle. It contains Witch
Hazel, Mentha, Arnica, Rock Oil, Car
bolic, and ingredients hitherto little
known It is an indisputable fact that the
Centaur Liniment is performing more
cures of Swellings, Stiff J oints. Eruptions,
Rheumatism, Neuralgia. Sciatica, Caked
Breasts, Lock-jaw, &c, than all other Lin
iments, Embrocations, Extracts, Salves,
Ointments, and Plasters now in use.
For Toothache, Earache "Weak Back,
tch and Cutaneous Eruptions it is ad
mirable. It cures burns and scalds with
out a scar. Extracts poison from bites
and stings, and heals frost-bites and chill
blaics, in a short time. No family can
afford to be without the Centaur Lini
ment, white wrapper.
The Centaur Liniment, yellow wrapper,
is axlapted to the tough 6kin, muscles and
flesh of the animal creation. Its effects
upon severe cases oi Spavin. Sw.eny,
Wind Gall, Big Ilead and Poll Evil, are
little less than marv llous.

"In our neighborhood a number of
teamsters are using the Centaur Liniment.
They pronounce it superior to anything
they have over used. We sell as high as
four to bra dozen bottles per month to
theso teamsters."
We have thousands of similar testimo
nials.
Fr Wounds, Galls, Scratches, Ring
bone, &c, and for Screw Worm in Sheep
it has no rival. Farmers, Livery-men.
and Stock-raisers, have in this Liniment a
remedy which is worth a hundred time1:

That Umbrella. JL dozen or
more men stood at tho southern en
trance of tbe Court House the other
day, when it began to rair, and
Along came an individual with an
umbrella over his head. As he
reached the top step one of the men
advanced aod taid:
Ah! I've been waiting for you.
I knew you had it, and it's all right.
The man surrundered the umbrel
la in a hesitating manner, and b s
sheepish look showed very plainly
that bt was not the lavful owner
of it. As he passed into the ball an
other of the crowd stepped out, and
said:
That's my umbrella, and I can
prove it. It has a J' cut into the
handle.
So it had, and after some parley
ing it was handed over, Tho new
owner was smiling very blandly, ai
the crowd applauded, when a man
turned in off tbe avenue to escape
a wetting. As soon as he saw the
umbrella, he called out.
Well, well, but where did you got
this?
It s mine bought it at the etore,
was the reply.
Not much sir. It was stolen
from my office a month ago, and
you'd better hand it over, if yon
den't want trouble.
It was passed to him, and he start
ed for borne. Only tho angels knew
whether or not he was the realowo-or.

The stomach is affected with loss of

There isgcnerally a considerable loss

something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility ;
he is easily startled, his feet arc cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin ; his
spirits'are low; and although he is
