Churchel.
The Baptist society have been over-haul-
ing and entirely remodeling the interior of
. their church edifice. New stained glass
. windows replace the old ones, and new and
“improved modern seats take the place of
the Old-fashioned box stalls. But the finest
and 'most conspicuous improvement is being
wrought under the auspices of Smith Kec-
lcr, a young and accomplished fresco artist,
who has been heretofore engaged ,on the
Lockwood edifice. Mr. Keeler has elabo-
‘ rately painted the side walls and celinig in
soft and pleasing drab and neutral tints,
and so fincnnd exquisite are the shudings,
that the eye is constantly deceived by the
illusions of light and shades. It is really
most complimentary to the taste and, skill
of the young artist.

.St.'Mary’s Stone Church, on West Aven-
ue, is rapidly approaching completion, The
’ basement story has been occupied for some--
time, and the stagings are now all down in
the main audience room, and the beautifully
colored windows-blend in most harmonious
union and effect. The seats are to be of
’ oiled chestnut and black-walnut mouldings.
They are made in Massachusetts and shipped
hither. When completed, this imposing
and costly church edifice will vie with any
in the State, and whatever may be the de-
nominational bias of any one, there is no
disguising the fact that, as a structure of
pleasing and imposing arehitcctual effects,
it is a standing reproach to the wealth and
good tasteof the other religious societies of

Norwalk. ' ’3

The New Cemetery.

As much interest is still felt in the pro-
posed cemetery enterprise, and especially so
at South ‘Norwalk, we would state in brief,
thatthc measure is my no means abandoned.
It has been kept in abeyance by the serious
and protracted illness of Mr. Grey, survey-
or, but its promoters are just as earnest
and determined to press forward its con-
summation as ever. The as’sociation will
doubtless be legally organized and perfect-
ed during the winter, and some tangible
movement made in the spring. While some
unanticipated embarrassments have been
laid in its way, there is nothing jeopardizing
its ultimate success.

[3'11 good story is told of a rather cx—
cited colloquy between cx—chaplain Trum-
bull and Supt. Jas. H. Hoyt of the N. Y. 65
N. H.‘ R. R. The story as overheard runs
thus. State Missionary Trumbull was civil-
ly Demonstrating against some of their cor-
porate annoyances, when the Supt. spirited-
ly responded, “ You talk as if this railroad
was run for the especial inconvenience and
annoyance of its passengers !" “ I'did not

 

intend to charge what has so naturally sug-'

gesteditself to your mind, and with such

suspicious spontauiety, but if such be your-

designs, I can only say you have enjoyed
unusual success.” The self-vanquished Ofil-
cial drew off to repair damages.

 

STREET IMPROVEMENT—Marlin Grace has
struck pick and shovel into the obtruding
earth bank fronting the residence of Win-
field Hanford, Esq., South Nor-walk. This
is an augury that before winter fully sets in,
we shall have this highway deformity re-

mOved. A good stone wall beneath the'

fence, with stairs under the gate, will really
improve the appearance of the homestead
property, as well as give the much needed
space to the highway. If the opposite side,
owned by Dr. Pardy were similarly improv-
ed it wouldhdd to the value of his place and
be a great public improvement.

 

 

WThe camels have eome,-—a whole
herd of them,—-and are in winter quarters
at Smith’s circus barn and let, on Main
street. We are always glad to see them—
at a circus, but are sorry to say that in their
present conspicuous quarters they are a con-
stnnt source of annoyance and dread to the
public generally, for the simple reason that
their ungainly proportionsfrighten passing
horses. Several runaways and some conse-
quent personal injuries have already oc-
cured, we learn, from this cause. The lot
is well adapted to this purpose, but we
would suggest to the propeietor that he
fence off several acres in‘ the center where
the camels might have abundance Of room
and cease to be anything but a curiosity
and pleasure to our townsmen. -

Amusements.

A fine concert was given ,at Lockwood’s
Hall, on Wednesday evening last, under
the direction of Miss Minnie Howard Briggs,
assisted by some half dozen other Bridge-
port performers. The attendance, 1 'c regret
‘-0 say, was small, less thanla hundred .per-
sons being present, but those who did at-
tend sccmed much pleased. Miss Briggs
has a fine voice, completely under control,
and sings with much expression. Several
of her songs were rendered in character,
with much dramatic effect. The fair cou-
ductress is not d’scouraged by this first at-
tempt to secure an audience in Norwalk,
but proposes during the winter to bring
over the “‘Madrigal Union” of Bridgeport,
and give another concert, when we trust
she will meet with better success.

The Y. M. C. A. scientific lectures, by.
Prof. W. C. Richrads, are to be delivered at
Lockwood’s Hall, on Wednesday and Fri-
day evenings of this week, and more. than
usual interest is manifested in them by the
pub‘i“. Holders of reserved seats are re
quested to be in early attendance and be'
seated, as it is desired to rconmicncc the lee-
tu 'es promptly at 8 o’clock.

On Ssturday afternoon, as will be seen by
announcement elsewhere, Prof. Richards
will give a matinee, for the special benefit
of ladies and children. Of course the ball
will be crowded.

On Wednesday evening of next week, the
famous Buckley’s Serenaders are to perform
in _Norwalk Hall. The company has been
completely reorganized for a Southern tour,
and is certainly one of do best. traveling.
On this trip they will stop only at Hartford,
Waterbury and Norwalk, and then skip to
H-u'risburg. The programme includes 'the
entire burlesque opera of “Lucretia Borgia,"
with all the original music, etc., occupies
an hour and a half in the performance—5
something that audiences in small places
are seldom favored with. An cxcclleutband
accompanies the troupe. _

Our local noticed a crowd near the Batik
Of Norwalk, early yesterday morning, and
started up there for an item. He found that
the Bank had not been robbed again but'
.that the people were simply trying to secure
seats, at Scllcck’s, for the Y. M. C. A. Lee-
turcs. All of the seats on the floor were
taken at an early hour, as were these re-
served at So. Norwalk, and many were dis-
appointed. -

EEG“ Now is the time to resume specie
payments. See. Boutwcll can give it to .us
by January 131:, without serious detriment
to business, by running the premium on
gold down gradually but certainly. Let
him increase the sales each week, audan—
nounce resumption for the commencement
of the New Year. If he should resume im-
mediately he would find the people are
nearly all like the Frenchman who presented
his check at a Bank counter during a panic,
and when tendered the specie looked surpris-
ed and refused to receive it, saying that he
did not want the money if they had got if,
and could pay it, he was only anxious to
have it safe. So with the people generally,
they prefer the paper if the “promises to
pay,” will only bring the specie when they
need it, without discount.

his life in a'n‘jcxchauge :— .1,
Mr. PcabO’dy was a descen

 

, dent"; f an art-
cicnt Leicester'shirc family, who emigrated:
to this country in 1635 and settled at .Tops-
field, Mass. The name was then spelled
“ Paybody.” In after years the family be-
came divided, oné'Of thc'children removing
to Danvcrs, where, on the 18th of February,
1795, George Peabody was _ born. At; the.
age of eleven,he found himself established
as clerk to Mr. Proctor, a grocer in his na-
tive town. At the age of fifteen, he left
Danvcrs for the home of his grandfather, in
Tnctford, Vt., where he remained until 1811.
His brother David, who had opened a dra-
per's'shop at Newburyport, then wrote to
serge, and he at once embarked In busr-
n2: . Soon after occurred what has passed
into history as “The GreatFire of Newbury-
port." The premises and property of David
Peabody were destroyed by the flames, to-
gether with a considerable portion of the
busiest part of the town. Left thus .3581!)
without employment,Gcorgc Peabody JOincd
his uncle, John Peabody, who now estab-
lished himself in Georgetown, 111 the District
of Columbia, with the hope of rebullding
his shattered fortune. This took place 1n
1812. Though still only in his. seventeenth
year, the management of the business main-
ly-devolvcd upon the nephew; and. during
the two yearshc remained with his uncle,
he gave still clearer proofs of that aptitude
for commerce which afterwards carried him
to the height of prosperity. When the war
broke out, Mr. Peabody joined a company
of artillery and entered upon garrison duty
at Fort W arbnrton. For this service, to-
gether with a previous short service at New-
buryport, he lately received one of the_
grants of 0110 hundred acres of land he-
stowed by act of Congress upon the defend-
ers Of the Republic at this perilous time.
After having spent some two years in the
service of his uncle, Mr. Peabody entered
into partnership. in a wholesale drapery
business, with‘Mr. Elisha Riggs, Mr. Riggs
agreeing to furnish the capital, and Mr. Pea-
body to transact the business. This arrang—
ment proved eminently satisfactory to both
parties. In 1815-thc house was removed to
Baltimore. In 1822 branch' establishments
were opened in Philadelphia and New York.
In 1825 Mr. Peabody became the‘seniorpart—
ncr, through the retirement of Mr. Riggs.
The following year he made his first visit
Europe, and opened extensive business con-
nections. These increased so much during
the decade following, that in 1827 he found
it'ncccssary to take up his abode there. .His
connection with the firm of Peabody, Riggs
& CO., ccascdin‘1843, and Mr. Peobody cs-
tablishcd himself in London as an Ameri-
can commission merchant and banker.
From this period dates the acquisition of a
large portion of his fortune. Mr. Peabody,
while inLondon, never forgot the Obliga-
tions which were due to the land of his birth.
In 1851, he generously bore the entire cx-
pcnse of art-urging the American deparmcnt
of the Great Evhibition in London, and in
the following year, the town of Danvcrs re-
ceived $20,000 from his hands for the pur-
pose of- fouuding what is now called “ The
Peabody Institute.” This donation has been
increased to $200,000. Mr. P. also paid the
entire expenses of the Second Artie Expedi-
tion in search of Sir John Franklin.
After an absence of twenty years, in 1857
Mr. Peabody fulfilled his intentions, formed
long before, of founding in the city of Bal-
timore a 1 Institute comprising a large free
library, the periodical delivery of lectures
by literary and scientific men, an academy
of music, a gallery of art, and accomoda-
'ion for the Maryland Historical Society.
For this purpose he gave $300,000, to
which he at. one time added $200,000, and
,again, in 1866, $500,000. The corner-stone
of the building was laid in 1858; but the
erection of it was delayed for years by the
unsettled state of the country. In the foll-
owing year, Mr. Heabody returned to Eng-
land, wherc he set about giving effect to
his long-cherished intentions of doing some-
thing for the benefit of laboring poor of
London. For this purpose, he gave $1,750.
000 between March 1203, 1862, and Decem-
ber 5111, 1868.
- Mr. I’cahody’s greatest work in this
country was the creation of the "Southern
Educational Fund,” for the improvement
of the population of the Southern States.
During his visit to America in 1866, he set
aside the sum of one million dollars for
this purpose, and on the first of July last he
added another million dollars to the sum.
This makes the annual revenue of the trust
equal to $130,000. Besides these amounts,
there are also $884,000 in Mississippi and
Flotida bonds, which will one day prove
negotiable property. Other donations of
Mr Peabody are as follows: To. Phillips
Academy in Andov’cr, $25,000 : to the
Newburyport Library, $15,000 ; to building
the new _church in Georgetown, $100,000;
to a library in the some town, $16,000; to
the Essex Institute at Salem, 2140.000; to
the library at Thetford, Vermont, $5,000 5 to
the Massachusetts Historical Society 9520,
000 ; to the Peabody Institute of Archaeol-
ogy at Cambridge, $150,000 ; to found a
geological branch at Yale College
$150,000; to the Maryland Historical Socie-
ty, $20,000; to Washing College, Virginia,
$60,000 ; to Kenyon College, Ohio, $25,000;
for a. library in Georgetown, District of
Columbia, $15,000 ; making altogether con-
siderably over seven millions of donors.
Of his relatives in America he was not un-
miudful, distributing among them $1,500,
000. During the Rebellion he also gave $10,-
000 to tho Sanitsry fund.‘

Mussus. EDITORS :—Last week I had the
pleasure of visiting N . 'vrwalk Lodge (N o. 101)
of Good Templars, and I am glad to report
I found it in very good working order.

They moved into their new rooms at South
Norwalk on the first of October. The rooms
are handsomely furnished, including a very
fine Cabinet Organ.

The Lodge is in a very flourishing condi-
tion. During the past month there have
been Thirty—six new members initiated. N of;
many Lodges in the Statecaii report better
than that. They have now some Two 111111‘
dred members in good standing. Last week
they commenced theirnew quartcrwith ini-
tiating six new members. .

The followiugofficers were duly installed
by Lewis E. Masters, acting G. W. C.-T.:

For W. C. T., Henry L. Gedney; .for W.
V. T., Nellie Wheeler; for W. Secretary,
C. Fred. Street; for W. F. Secretary, John

AN IMPORTANT Drscovnnv.—A gentleman
in town has received letters patent for an
article, which, if it does all that is claimed
for it, is destined to produce an entire revo-
lution in the fish and provision business.
The article in question is soluble in water,
something similar to’s’alt, and has the pecu-
liar propriety of keeping fish, meat, poultry.
ete., perfectly fresh for any length of time.
It is almost entirely devoidof smell or taste,
and scientific men who have examined the
article pronounce it a success, and. wonder
why Some one did notgliscover its remark-
able properties before.' We have» seen‘ end
which have been in the solution seven
weeks, and the flesh was as hard audthe
general appearance of the fish, equally as
fresh and good as if just takenfrom the wa-
ter. A porgie which had been in soak ten;
weeks, and a haddock four weeks,prcsented
the same remarkable appearance. These
fish were cut in our presence, and the flesh
was as solid and as good as any freSh fish .
that may be found in any market. If this
discovery should prove as expected, salt and
ice, large items of expense in preserving ,
provisions; will be superseded, and poultry,

«

the world in a fresh state. Sailors will no
lon er complain of “salt horse,” and scurvy
wilfbe among the things that;'were. It is
not very expensive, and does (not contain
anything deleterious, and as soon as practi?
cable will .be introduced to the public.—

The debt of the New- England States is
$13.62 and a fraction-per oapita; of the Mid
dle States, $8.90 and a fraction; of the West-
ern States, $4 and a fraction; of the South-
ern States, $13.39 and a fraction: and of the
Pacific States, $6.24 and a fraction. The
New England States owe the largest amount
in proportion to the population, and the
\Vestern States the smallest. The large
State debts are those of New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lina, Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana, and
Ohio—making an aggregate of $240,767,499
as the debt of these nine States. The aver-
age of the total debt of all the States is $8.90
and a fraction per capita.

The National debt on the lat of June,
1869, was $2,505,412,613, which is at the rate
of $67.68 'per ' capita for the whole United
States. Add this to the debt of the States,
and we have a debt of $76.58 per Capita for
the entire people. ‘ "

The county debts of the State of New
York amount to $83,603,018 90. If to this
we add city- debts in the same State, we
should 'have an aggregate of more than ‘
$100,000,000. Add to this the county and
city debts of all the other States, and the to-
tal result of N ational, State, County and City
indebtedness would not be less than $86 per
capila for the ivhole country. This, in round .
numbers, is a debt of $3,200,000,000, as a
taxable lien upon all the industry and. prop-
erty of the Nation. At the rate .Of 6 per
cent. per annum, it requires $192,000,000 to

ay the annual interest on this debt, and
$224,000,000 at the rate of 7 per cent. Wh‘o
shall say that the rate of interest tobe paid
for the use of money is not a vital question
‘to the whole people ? High rates of interest
make large public debts, a very heavy bur-
den to be borne. .. _

 

SLEIGHING m RUSSIA—When the roads
are rough the continual jolting ofthe sleigh
is very fatiguing- to a traveler and frequent-
ly, during the first two or three days of his
journey, thrOws liim into what is very prop-
erly designated the road fever. His pulse
is quick, his blood warm, his head aches, his
whole frame'becomes sore and stiff, and his
mind is far from being serene and amiable.
In the first part of my land journey I had-
the satisfaction of ascertaining by practical
experience the exact character of the road-
fever. My brain seemed ready to burst, and
appeared _to my excited imagination about
twice as largeas a barrel; every fresh jolt,
and thump of the'vchiclc gave me a sense-
tion as if somebod were driving a‘tenpen-
ny nail into my s ull; as for good nature
under such circumstances that was out of
the question, and I am free to confess that
my temper was not unlike that of a bear
with a sore head. Happily, howeVer,I_kept‘
itprctty-much to myself, and as my compan-
ion was affected about 1151 was we managed ’

'A' LITTLE MAR-Perhaps the most remark-
able dwarf Of which there is any record, in
ancient or modern times, is Count Joseph
Borulawski, bOrn in Polish Russia in 1739.
His parents were of. the medium size, and
had a family of. six children, five sons and
one daughter. Three of the former, when
full grown, exceeded the middle stature ; but
the other two and the daughter attained on-
ly that of children of about the age of four
years. At the time of Joseph’s birth be
measured' only 8' inches in length; but he.
was neither weak nor defective; and his
mother, who suckled him herself, frequently
stated that none of her children gave her
less trouble than be. His sister, Anastasia,
seven cars younger, is represented by him,
in his 1 emoirs, as so short that she could
stand under his arms. She was a perfect
model of symmetry and beauty, having a
lively and cheerfuLtcmper and a feeling and
benificent heart. At the age of fifteen, be-
ing then 25 inches h'ilgh’ he was presented to
the Empress Maria hercss, who on one oe-
casion took him _on her lap, earressed him,
and asked him ivhat ‘he thought was most
curious and interesting at Vienna. He an-
swered that he had seen in that city many
things worthy of admiration, butnothiug
seemed so extrz‘tordinaryi is that which
he then beheld. “And what is that t" in-
quired her Majesty. _ “ To see so little a man

Borulawski. The mpress then were a ring

the cipher was pret . “ I beg our Majes-

very sorry you are not taller?” “ o," he
replied; “if I was I should not have the
honor to sit upon your ladyship’s knee."
Borulawski was twice the victim of the ten-

‘der passion, his first love beingan actress,

whom he wished to marry, but who. laugh-
‘ed at him. The second was a young French
lady, Isallna Barbutan, whom, after much
opposition from-his patroness, Countess Hu-
miecka, he married. Being informed, in a
few months silenhis marriage, that he was:

likely to becomé a ”father, and being some-

Peterson’s Magazine forDeccmber is on
our table in advance. It is a" splendid num-
ber, with two steel engravings, a mammoth
fashion plate, a colored pattern in Berlin
wool, and nearly fifty wood cuts. We do
not wonder at the immense circulation of
“Peterson,"——said to he the largest in the
world—for it really g'ipes more for the money
than any other. Every lady ought . to sub-
scribe for it. Its MAMMOTH COLORED FASH-
ION Plates are always the latest and pret-
tiest. Its stories are the best publishd any-
where. In 1870, in addition to its usual
quantity of short stories, five original copy-
right novelets will be given, by Ann S.
Stevens, Jane C. Austin, Frank Lee Bene-
dict, &e., &c. About 1,000 pages of reading
matter .will be given in 1870, twelve mam-
moth colored fashions and fourteen superb
steel icngraviugs. The magazine will be

reatly improved. The terms are two dol-

ars a year to single subscribers. To ‘ clubs
it is cheaper still, viz: four copies for $6.00,
withalargc engraving, (24 inches by 16),
“Our Father Who Art in Heaven,” as a
premium to the person getting up the club;
or eight copies for $12.00, with both an ex-
tra copy of the Magazine and the engraving,
as premiums. We can speak, from person-
al knowledge, of the beauty of this engrav-
ing. Now is the time to get up clubs for

and St. Mary's Total Abstinence Socielles, held on
the 7th inst., on the occasion of the death of Rev.
John Smith, brother of the Pastor of St. Mary’s, and
formerly his assistant in the same parish, the follow-
ing preamble and resolutions were adopted:

Whereas, it hath seemed good in the eyes of an All-
wisc God to deprive us by death of the Rev. John
Smith, in whom we have ever seen the devoted
priest, the fervent Christaln, and the urbane gen-
tleman: be it therefore
Resolved. that we hereby give expression to the

feelings of sincere sorrow, which, in common with
our fellow parishioners, and all others who enjoyed
his acquaintance, we experience at. the loss of one
whom to know was to love, and whose life exalted
by osition, was by inclination truly childlike. And
be t further

Resolved, that in Father John, Bell on has lost a
simple yet faithful mgdel, the Churc ‘a zealous ser-
yarég and society an exemplary member. And be it

Resolved, that we cordially eondolc with his beloved
brother, our revered Pastor, in the affliction whlch it
has pleased the Wise Ordainer of all things to visit
him and tender to him our heartfelt sympathy in his
sad berea‘vment. And be it further

Resolved that we keep vigil in a body over the re-
mains Of the respected dead, until the day of his in-
terment. and that we take part in the funeral poccs-
III“ in the usual mourning regalia. And be it fur-

er .-

Resolved, that a copy of these Resolutions be given

to our esteemed Pastor in the name of both Socie-

ties, and that ,they be published in the "Norwalk

READ THE EVIDENCE.

“ Facts are stubborn things," and it is to facts
alone that it is desired to direct the attention of the
readers of this article. .

Man years of severe and thorough practical trial
have emonstrated beyond the peradvcnture of a
doubt the fact that the medicines prepared by me,
and known as SCHENCK‘S MAN DRAKE PILLS,
SCHENCK’S SEAWEED TONIC. and SCHENCK’S
PULMONIC SYRUP, have proved extraordinarily
successful in the cure of diseases of the pulmonary
or ans, or What is usually termcd'CossumeN.

’Iam fully aware that there are many persons whose
_ prejudices rule them so completely that “ proofs
stron as Holy Writ" would fail to convince them of
the e cscy of my remedies, and that. there are others
who, under no 0 rcnmstauces, could be prevailed up-
on to admit their merits, simply because such an ad-
mission would prove detrimental to their particular
personal interests. .

Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, these
doubting people form a comparatively small portion
of the community at large. They are to be found
here and there, but, compared with the_ great mass of
the world‘s population, their numbers are so small
that I dismiss them. and address myselfto those who
are willing to listen to the dictates of reason and
who are disposed to admit theitronglogic of well-es-
tablished facts. .

We are told almost daily that Condumplion the
scourge of the American people, is incurable; that a
man whose lungs are diseased must be 'vcn over to
die; that he must abandon hone; an that the ar-
rangement of his temporal as well as spiritual affairs
should claim his earliest attention. If there were
not facts as undemahle as that the sun will shine in
a clear heaven at midday to controvert these random A
and not unfrequently harmful assertions, I should
feel unwilling to take up the gage of battle against
them; but, fortified with results—facts—whieh neith-
er theory no mere assertion can overturn I propose
to rave that CONSUMPTION CAN BB CURED,
an that the medicines I prepare—THE MAN-
DRAKE PILLS, ‘SEAWEEDJI‘ONIC. and PULMO-
NIC SYRUP—will, if used it strict accordance with
the directions, in a majority of cases effect that which
the faculty pronounces impossible—they will cure
Consumption. . _

An onu'ce of solid fact is worth a pound of theory.
Let me, therefore, present the facts connected with
my own individual experience. Many years ago I
was a confirmed consumptiverund like thousands of
' other unfortunates, was given up to die. Eminent
physicians pronounced my case a hopeless one, and
told me that "I had an preparaiions to make for
the final solemn event, t at I had better make them
speedily. I believed thisjust as confidently as did
the crsons who thus affectionately informed me that
my a s were numbered, and that recovery was im-
posstb e. Still, the desire to live lingered in my be-
som. I was young, and clung to life with the same
tenacity that young men, and old men too, ordinari-
ly do. I did not feel willing to abandon hope as long
as a sin 1e vestage of it remained. I had full faith in
the sa information conveyed to me by my physi-
cians, but still there was a lingering bellefthnt some-
thing could be'done though I knew not in what di-
rection to seek for the much-desired relief.

It was at this cloomy and eventful period of my his-
tory that I firstIearned of the roots and herbs from
which my remedies for this dread disease is now pre-
pared. I procured and used them. and, to the utter
amazement of all—physicians, friends and neigh-
bors—began to improve. My entire system com-
meuced to undergo a complete renovation. Expec-
toration, which formerly had been difficult and pain-
ful now became comparatively easy. I threw ot‘r‘dai-
lv large quantities of ofi‘ensive yellow matter. At.
the same time my long-lost appetite returned. I ate
freely ofsnch food as was palatable to me, and which
was at the some time nutritious and wholesome.
Expectoration became less copious and less offen-
sive; exhausting night sweats ceased: the racking
and humming cough abated; the fever broke; the
pain departed; flesh planted itself on my sadly wast-
ed frame and with flesh came strength and full
health. From a mere skeleton I became a stout,
strong, robust man, and I have maintained both
stren th and flesh to this day. I weigh two hunered
and t lrty-tlve pounds; I am blest with an a petite
_vonchsnfed to at few men while my diges ive or-
fians are amply equal to all the requirements of a

ealthful condition of my system.

Now be it remembered, all these wonderful chan-
ges were wron ht b the use of the medicines I pre-

are—MAND A PILLS, SEAWEED TONIC and

ULMONIC SYRUP. Acure seemingly so miracu-
lous naturally. crested astonishment in the minds of
those who knew me. I was literally besieged on all
sides. I had visitors dull who besought Inc to give
them the remedies which ad wrought the wonderful
restoration and had wrested me from the very jaws
of death. Letters were received 11 scores importan-
ln‘g me to impart the secret and nform the writers
,1; ere the specific fof consumption should be obtain-
sed. ' Others. who were too.weak to travel, not satis-

 

y led with wrliingl, cent for and consulted me in regard

to their cases. 0 all these applications I responded
as best I was able. - ' ‘
I had fully re alued my health. and gratitude for
the happy resu t promtcd me to turn'my attention to
the science ofmedlciue, with the hope of thereby be-
,ing able to be of service to my sufi‘ering fellow crea-
tures. I devoted myself closely to my studies, and
more es ecially to that branch of. them relating to
the terrl le disease from which I had suffered so lon

and so much. I investigated it in all its fearfu
phases, ln order to assure myself that my case was
not an exceptional one. The closer my investiga-
tions the more satisfactory were my conclusions. I
felt convinced that tens of thousands of my fellow-
ereatures were dying annually from consumption
whose cases were not as desperate and apparently
hopeless as mine had been, and I argued from this
that remedies Which had proven so effective with me
would prove equally so with others. ,I prepared my
“Steiner in apleasantand attract! orni,-and an-

nced them to the world. The l salts are well
known. bonsands of suffering men, women and.
110 were on the was to the grave,bave
been cured and are today ltv n2 evidences of the
fact. that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURBD; andI
think I may say, without. arrogatlng to myself any
More than is justly my due, that I have had as mue
experience in the treatment of consumptiOn as any
other person in the country, and that my success has
been wonderfully great.

Let the reader remember that these are not mere
fancied statements. They are positive living facts, of
which I am the living evidence.

.There is an old adage which says: “What has
been done may be done." .1 have been completely
cured of consumption by the remedies I now offer to

almi sr happy results from their use, and thousands
of others stl l might be bencfitted as I have been,

Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmomc _Syrup.

of their merits is a air trial.

A GOOD NEWSPAPER—Show us an intel-
ligent family of boys and girls, and we will
show on; family were newspapers‘ and
periodicalsrare plenty. Nobody who has
been without these’ private tutors can know
their educating powers for good or evil.
ve you ever thought of the innumerable
topics of discussion which they suggest at
the breakfast table;,, the _important pubhe
measures with which, thus early, our chil-
dren become acquainted ; great philanthrop-
1 questions of the day, to which uncou-

usly their attention is awakened, and
the general spirit of intelligence which is
evoked by these quiet visitors? Anything
that makes home pleasant, cheerfu, and
chatty, thins the haunts of vice and the
thousand-and one avenues of temptation,
should certainly be regarded, when we con-
sider its influence on the minds of the young,
as 3 great moral and social light—Emerson.

During a recent debate in the Victoria
Legislature, a rather good thing was said by
one of these members. An unfortunata
loyal Liberal, whose education had been
sadly neglected, was reading out a document
to the House and vainly endeavoring to de-
cipher an Obscure letter. Turning to his
next friend he anxiously asked:

“ Is that hem or hen ?“

“ Oh," replied his friend, “ call it a hen
and move that it lay on the table.”

CHESTNUTS FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOKS.—

A missionary of the American Sunday

School Union in North Carolina writes:

“ I wish I could see the dear friends that
have contributed so liberally to the Sunday
School work in the South, and express my
thanks, and tell them of the earnestness
manifested by many of ourlittle children in
their efforts to secure good books.

“I met a gentleman in .the street yester—
day who told me he had just sold some
chestnuts which a few poor children had
picked up in 'the mountains. They are try-
ing to get a library for their Sunday School,
and every little child is saving has pennies
to throw into the box, so that b next
Christmas they may have a new ibrary.
This is the way they are working. Some
send in apples, some a few bundles of fod-
der, some a dozen of eggs, and others gather
up‘chestnuts.

“,May the Lord incline the herrts of the
rich to contribute for the help of these poor
children in my field i” AMEN!
