They cleanse the stomach, relax the liver, and put it to work : then the appetite become' good ; the food digest# and I make) good blood . the patient begins, to grow in flesh ; tbe diseased matter ripens in the lung** and trie patient outgrows tbe disease and get, : well. This is the only way to cure consumption , To these three medicines Dr J H Schenck. of 1 Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the i treatment of | ulmonsry consumption. The Pul ] monie Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the ' lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora tion for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it off. and tbe patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To do this, the .Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills must be freely used to eleause the stomach 1 and liver, *o that tbe Pulmonic Syrup and the j food will make good blood Scbenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, : removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the j gall-bladder, tbe bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved ; tbe stools will show what the I Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented ex- j cej t calomel a deadly poison which is very dan gerous to use unless with great care), that will unlock the gall-bladaer and starts the secretions of the liver like Schenck'* Mandrake Pills Lver Complaint is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant ' and alterative, and tbe Alkali in the Seaweed, which this preparation is made of, assists the stcmacb to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve tte food with the Pulmonic Syrup and it is made j into good blood without fermentation or souring in the stomach. The great reason why physicians do not cure consumption is, they try to do too much ; they givernedicine to stop tbe cough, to stop chills, to stop night sweats, beetle fever, and by so doing j beyderange the whole digestive powers, locking hup te secre'ions, and eventually the patient tik and dies. Dr. Scbeuck, in his treatment, docs not try to n op a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Re- ; move the cause and they will a!) stop of their own accord No one can be cured of Consump- j tion. Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia. Cataarh, Can ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom ach are made healthy. if a person has Consumption, ofcourne the lungs in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab | setses, bronchialirritation. pleura adbev.t. or tbe lungs are a mass of inflammation and if.--' de caying. li. such cases what most b UCJB ? It , ia not only ine lungs that are wasting, but it it the whole body. The stomach and liver have lest their power to make blood out of food. Now the i only t-banee is to take Scbenck's three medicines, whtieh nil! bring up a tone to the stomach, the pa ient will begin to wait food, it will digesteasi- ; Jv and make good blood then the patient begins ctgain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to sgrow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa stient gets fle.ihy and well. This is the only way to cure consump' ion, When there is no lung disease, and only Liver j Complaint and Dyspepsia, Scbenck's Seaweed Tome and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without the Pulmonic Syrup Take the Mandrake Pills fteely in all billion-complain!*, as they are per fectly harmless Dr. Schenck. who has enjoyed uninterrupted health lor many years past, and now we.'ghe 225 pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in tbe very last stage ot Pulmonary Consumption, his phy-icians hm ing prone unctd his ca.e hope less and abandoned him to bis fete He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and since hisrecovery many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr Scbinck's preparations with tho same remarkable success.

MAKKIED BY TtI.CtJRAFB 4 Mr. Loary, are you a married man?' 4 Very, sir.' 4 Very, Why do you say very?' 4 Beause my dear little wife and I are bound together by wiers.' 'Latimer Leary, you talk enigmas.' 'Then sir, to be plain as a primer, J will inform you that I was married by | telegraph.' 'You don't say !' 4 Yes, I do.' 'Then teli the company all about it.' 'I will, with pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, my wife is a second cousin, ! and is also a Leary. She once resided in the city of Indianopolis while I was a resident of Centreville, in the same state. I was a bachelor of thirty but full of romance and general love because I had no ? : i|laiie a cuneentra . tion. •Why don't you take a wife?' was continually buzzing in my ears.— i 'Whom will I take?' To this query a score of friends would say—'Your relative, Kate Leary. 'Kate Leary ? Why die is my CC.UK i in !' •Only a second cousin,' they would retort 'and your opposite, Latimer— Kate is a blonde and you are as dark as Erebus or the ace of clubs.' ' I had never seen Miss Leary, but this continual association of the young la dy with my wedded life had an in fluence. 'One day a member of Congress ex claimed : I 'Mr. Leary, were I single, 1 would assuredly pay court to jour magnifi cent cousin. As I am married, and you are my best friend, I earnestly hope you will possess the luxury.' 'At this period I was a merchant.— Having discharged a thieving cierk, I was so confined to my store that a jour ney to Indianopolis was out of the question. I was growing wild to see one whom all praised and so many wished me to wed. 'ln a few days from the call of my legislative friend, his brother, a noted judge, appeared at my stoie. The judge was also my devoted ally, a po- j sition intensified by his recollection of j being educated by m,* deceased father. 'Drawing a daguerreotype from his coat, said lie, 'I wi-h to show you something nice. There, what do you . say to that?' 'This, my dear friend, is Miss Kate Leary, the lady I wished you to mar- ry.' •Tell me,'exclaimed 1, 4 issho— wshe all they claim for her?' 'My dear friend, louestly as I value truth, I have uot heard her suftk'ient j ly praised.' 'Why don't some man try his luck ?' ■ 'I am glad you asked. Simply be i cause she is over-courted, and conse- . quently hard to please. She is roman- j tic, and, you see clearly, not winnable by ordinary methods.' 'You say she i 8 very particular?' 'She is, sir.' 'Then good-bye for me.' 'Notat all; she is rapturous over your likeness, and sends her cousinly love with au invitation to visit her.— j I pledge you I omitted not a single, good point in your body, calibre or character.' 'So you consider her daguerreotype 1 accurate!' 'I can tell you it don't flatter her. ; She has extraordinary beauty, and the ; kind that is more stricking in anima- : tion or conversation.' 'While mutual friends in Centreville ; were lauding my fair cousin, mutual , friends in Indianopolis were loud in ; their eulogies of me and preparing her I mind for an alliance. 'I am not self-ccnceited. But be lieving such concord to be born an o i blivous fact, I settled on the idea of; I marrying this wonder in beauty, soul and accomplishment. 'My intent was quickly confirmed upon hearing that a very wealthy are! influential hanker from Gotham was in the melting modi. I remember it j was at midJight. I hinted from ray store the last batch of chronic loungers, and'seiected the lie-d stationary In my establishment. I was to write my first letter to Kate. 'From all that had passed a fine style ( was easy. I always flattered myself 1 on my syntax, and will unegotistically j affirm that my missive was at once . tender, audacious, dignified, wild and intense. It struik her like an electric shock. The banker was laughed out | of competition, and your humble ser vant was master of the situation. 'Such a reply as I received ! Well —you must see—you shall see it. I have good gas works hut I am inade quate. In a brief time we learned that each L-new the other will. The much i ; said by so many mutuals, superadded |to our daguerreotypes and letters, made us a comprehending couple ; In fact, we confessed our love—a full, | round, ripe and luscious article. There j could be no unsafety in the case. Our lineage was common and every fact known. What followed is clear—an | engagement!-yes, between unseen ; lovers and cousins. 'I was 'dying' to fold her to my heart, but my solus condition and ma turing appointments postponed it in deflnately. , 'What did you say? Why didn't she visit one of our friends at Centre ville? I answer you cheerfully. She was an oddity. She had her notions and would entertsiin them. Tho' we were plighted, she declared It should not be said that she made the firet vis it. Many believed she light. I don't argue ihe |>oit merely answer a question. 'Weeks passed, le'ters were numer ous and copiously taceharine, The time arrived when I cnimi i.t-ar my single condition no longer. What if •Odi t or.e were to cut me oqt al the eleventh hour? With such a love, what would become of me? I was detent in< d 10 own her, even if I did not see hi r in a decade. 'An id. .1 dawned— a brilliant one.— ft was to compass a spedy marriage, and satisfy her thirst for romance. Aftti a tb xjd of tenderness byway of dramatic peroration, I wrote: ' , m. adorned one, let us depart frcm the stale routine, and wed by telegraph.' •1 he idea took her by lorm. Her an-wer was characteristic. It ran thus: 'Darling, I will. The idea is savory, but is it legal ?' 'lmmediately I sent for my friend, the judge. Soon he faced me; said I, 'Judge, is a marriage by telegraph le gal ?' 'Certainly, sir: I see no objection to a contract by telegraph. I readily perceive how ail the aquireiuents can be accomplished.' 'Will you state this opinion on pap- \ er and prescribe a formula for an elec tric wedding ?' 'With pleasure, sir.' 'Thejudge understood me, and gladly complied. The result I forwarded to Kate by return mail, and soon received word that on th- following Thursday -he and pi( j r authority would pre sent themselves at the Indianopolis office according to said formula, there to enter upon the holy state of matri mony. •1 tell you the appointed hour was a great one among the mutual friends at each end of the wire. The affair was so novel, that all else was eclipsed by the contemplation of it. 'Clergymen and witnesses assembled at the termini. Their, in full costume, two unseen lovers were to be made j man and wife. The instrument began its tick, tick, ticking. The operator read, clergyman put questions, I an swer. d. the instrument did more work, and soon a I was saluted as the husband of Kate I*eary. Happy was I, though .he ; osses-sor of a lady I never beheld, j 'One week passed, and I was still without help. My brain was becom ing phrenzied ; I must see Kate, and 1 must go to her hrst, for it was her : hat and well did 1 know what a Leary. j was. 4 By entreaty, I prevailed upon a brother merchant to lend me his clerk. Soon as he put his foot in the door, I ; put mine in a stage en route for the; capital of Indiana. 'When about twelve miles from the ] city, we stopped for a passenger. It was a young lady. Such a being I never beheld. She resembled my ■ likeness of Kate, but was far more i beautiful. I own my heart went out . to her. Call me fickle, say what you plett-e, and I will bear It. I repeat, my ; heart gushed forth in a flood of love. •H T * WAS a fix ! I, a married man going to see bis telegraphed bride, and as telegraphically in love with another woman. I began to repent my haste i and when too late, saw the crime of marrying a woman I had never set my eyes upon. What would I do? What { could Ido ? The lady was already ! married, for 1 heard the driver call her madam. 'How -he eyed me! I spoke about the coach window being raised to suit her. She thanked me in tones that acted like an arterial stimulant. I was gone. Much conversation followed, and I was a goner. I saw she was giv- j ing me sweet, yet pleading looks. — Heavens! thought I, she is unhappily mated. Suppose I give her my sym pathy. Yet should I jeopardize my-j self boforesuch transeendent charms? j Suppose i betray my love, how would I feel when in the presence of my wife, and what power would I confer on a total stranger? I had it. I would ttetray nothing but would offer consolation to a fl Aver most neglected. We were theonly passengers and what a good chance. 'Madam,' said I,'please pardon me, but you seem to exist under a cloud.' 'She sighed deeply. 'May I if you are a widow?' 'Well sir, not a widow, though I do not live with my husband.' 'Poor sou!!' continued I. 'She put her handkerchief into her mouth. I thought about half of it went in ; but of course it was to stop her emotion. 'You are not happy, madam ?' 'Very far from it, sir: lam misera ble.' 'So was I—miserable to put mv arms about her neck. 'Where do you reside, madam?' 'ln Indianapolis.' 'Have you friends there?' 'Many, sir.' 4 No doubt of it.

Several times incidents have been re lated of gentlemen, under the influence of liquor or from absent-mindedness, getting into the wrong house. An in cident, however, occurred a short time ago in the Crecent City, which came near ending in a tragedy. -A gentle man, being late home and a little tx>n fu-ed by some mercantile speculation, applied his latch-key to the wrong door and found himself in his neigh bor's house, 'Who's there?' was fiercely demand ed of him from the head of the stairs. 'Who the mischief are you?' was the wondering reply. 'Get out of here, or I'll shoot!' was , the next salutation. i j 'Well, on my word, that's cool!' so liloquized the merchant. •Cool or not, you'd better leave!' 'I think 1 will !' thought the mer chant as he slammed the door to and , went after a policeman. Returning j j with an officer, he hit the right door | and got into his own residence. But, strange to say, no intruder could be found, and no challenge met his ad vance. High and low the house was searched. No one or tbe appear- I a nee of any one could be discovered.— . .His wife was awakened and protested she had heard no one. 'You did not hear a man screaming at me from the head of these stairs a moment ago ! Have you been long a- j sleep ?' "Only for a moment.' 'And you say again you heard no : one ?' 'No one, my dear.' 'Didn't you hear a man shouting as if he'd waken the dead and threaten to j shoot me ?' 'Oh, mercy no." exclaimed the good lady now really alarmed. 'Why, mum, I heard him in the street,' interposed the officer. [ 'Oh, William, he wasn't here,'cried the lady. The citizen was non-plussed. What could it mean ? 'Betsy,' he said, 'l've lived with you j for forty years: you have been faithful in jtoverty and riches, and I can't think you have commenced deceiving ine at this late day ; but deceit or truth, you 1 may shoot me if there wasn't a man in this house.' There was energy in every word of ; the sturdy citizen, and he believed it •as he did his religion. His neighbor being on the "quivive' from the late disturbance, was listening to the loud voices, and just at this instance came out on the adjoining gallery. Ileheard the last words and being greatly exci ted him-elf, replied with equal ener • gy : 'Yea, and blame ine, if I didn't just find one in my house !' 'What, in your house?' •Yes ; but when I threatened to shoot the fellow ran.' Explanations now ensued, and the difficulty finally adjusted. This strange , mistake was accounted for, and the re conciled neighbors shook bands and went to bed. Pur THAT RASCAL OUT. —While j the congregation were collected at i church, cn a certain occasion, an old hard-featured, skin and hone individ ual was wending his way up the aisle, and taking a seat near the pulpit. The officiating minister was one of that class who detested written sermons, and as for prayers he thought they ought to be natural outpourings of the heart, After he singing was conclu ded, they were as usual called to pray er. The genius we have introduced i did not kneel,but leaned his head devo tionally upon the pew. The minister began l>v saying: 'Father of all, in every age by saint | and savage adored—' 'Pojie!' said a low but clear voice near old hard-features. The minister after erst ing an in Jig- , nant look in the direction of the voice, | continued: 'Whose throne sitteth on the ada mantine hill of para ise—' 'Milton !' again interrupted the voice. The minister's lip quivered for a mo ment, but recovering himself he be gun : 'We thank Thee, most gracious Fath er, that we are permitted once more to ; assemble in Thy name, while others, equally meritorious, but less favored, j have been carried beyond that bourne i ; irom which no traveler returns ' 'Shakspeare!' again interrupted the voice. This was 100 much. 'Put that impu dent rascal out,' shouted the exaspera ted minister. 'Original!' ejaculated the voice in the same calm, provoking manner. There is nothing, says the Somerset Democrat, that is so well calculated to demoralize boys as idleness: and parents, no matter what their circum stances may be, should keep their sons employed, at something useful and beneficial, if they desire them to grow up useful and respectable men. In order to illustrate what we mean, we refer to a circumstance that occurred in Cumberland, Md., a short time ago. Six young men of respec table parentage, were arrested charged wl :h burglary and robbery, and after a hearing before the Mayor were bound over to appear at the next ierm of the Quarter Sessions Court. Four of these young men are not only of respectable but also of wealthy parentage, and worse than all, one of them Is the son of ft minister. These boys were raired in idleness, which is the mother of dissipation, by over-indulgent parents, and having nothing else to do, they frequented drinking saloons and gambling dens of that city until, st< p by stnp from one degree of vice and crime to another we fin I theai ut last before the tribunal of justice to answer to the serious charge of burglary and robbery.

IKK Hi: AMI I'iRH Jfacts in Agriculture. —All perma nent improvements of land look to lime for their basis. Periodical applications of ashes tend to keep up the integrity of the soil. All grain crops should !*• harvested before perfectly ripe. To manure or lime wet land is to throw manure, lime and labor away. Clover as well as grasses intended for hay, should be mowed when in bloom, j Shallow plowing operates to impov erish the soil, while it decreases in pro duction. Punctuality in engagements is as necessary to the agriculturist as it is to a merchant. iJeep plowing greatly improves the productive powers of every variety of soil that is not wet. Subsoiling sound land thai is not wet, is eminently conducive to an in creased production. Always provide an equivalent for ; the substances carried off the land to ' the products grown thereon. The chopping or grinding of grain to be fed to stock, operates a a saving of at least 25 per cent. A bushel of plaster per acre, sown | broadcast over clover, will add one nundred per cent, to Its produce. Full complements of tools and im j plements of husbandry are intimately | connected with the success of the hus | bandman. Early Vegetables.— ln the neighbor j hood of large cities any quantity of | early plauts may be secured at the gar deners' who raise them under glass, in frames orin hot houses ; but even with , these facilities, we prefer plants that we have rearer! ourselves, to those which we can buy, not so much on the score of economy (though that is some thing) as on account of the fact that we find those which we have reared a good deal more hardy, and because we somehow Snd greater satisfaction in helping ourselves. Every one knows that vegetables which mature a few we's earlier than the usual sea son are more highly prized than three or four times the quantity would be when they are no longer scarce. It is I very easy to secure a supply, if one will take a little pains. An old win dow sash, a box two or three feet square, filled with fresh horse dung, leaf mould and rich, light earth, such as decayed sod, which is the very best, will furnish all the appliances necessa ry, for raising cabbage, tomatoes and egg plants enough to furnish a garden of moderate dimensions. If it is desi red to raise a few early specimens, take a nail keg, saw it in two, till with rich mould, and let a single tomato grow in each half, under cover, until the sea son is sufficiently advanced to set the t plants out iu the open air, and then by removing the hoops and bottom from the keg, the plants will grow, without I even showing that they have been transplanted. A dozen such plants set out in good soil will furnish tomatoes enough for a small family, more than a month in advance of the "season." Journal of the Far in. Recipes.
