They are a mild aperient, and an excellent purgative. Being purely vege table, they contain no mercury or mine ral whatever. Much serious sickucss and suffering is prevent ed bv their timelv I -e; and every famDy should have them on hand t their protection and relief, when required, iong experience has proved them to be the af- t, surest, and best of all the A'illm with which I ie market abounds. ISy their occasional use, the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys tem expelled, obstruction removed, and the whole machinery of life restored to its healthy activity. Internal organs which become clogged and sluggish are cleansed by Aifrr'a Fill, and stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease Is changed into health, the value of which change, when reckoned on the vast multitudes wiio enjoy it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues unimpaired for any longtli of time, so that thev are ever fresh, and perfectlv reliable. Although searching, they are mild, ami oierate withont disturbance to the constitution, or diet, or oecuiKtli .u.

W ith such change those complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Ironiral Swelling--,, they should be taken in large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. ior KunpreMion, a large oose should be taken, as it produces the desired effect bv sym pathy. As a nitMtnr fin. take one or two fills to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels, restores the appetite, ami invigorates the system. Hence it is ort.cn advantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of the-e Fill makes him feel decidedly better, from their cleansing and renovating ellcct ou the digestive apparatus. PRKPARED BT Zr. J. C.

I brought it with me o'er the sea Many, aye many a year ago. When 1 sought the land where liberty Made e'en the poor man's heart aglow. With fortune's smiles 1 have been blest, : I own my houses and my lauda, I know that the wealth which is the belt la earned by labor's willing hands. lint among the dearest things T priza Is this old picture on the wall ; It looks At me with loving eyes And tender grace o'ersprcada it alb It 'minds me of a time when we One Hummer evening rambled, where We saw the moonbeams kiss the sea, While the breath of clover filled tLe air. Toward the land of the lofty pine We eaw the great flops sailing away, And a hope grew in her breast and mine, A hope to reach that land some day. Fulfillment crowned our hope, and we Pave in that land lived many a year. Our lives have passed most happily, Our eyes have seldom felt a tear. And now when we review the past And many memories recall, - The 8weett memory 'round us cast Comes through that picture ou the wall. A WOMAN'S HEROISM. Boun l home to New York from the Sand wich. Islands, the ship Hampton, was bowl ing along through the Pacific Ocean, under a cloud of canvas. j The crimson rays of the rising sun had tinted the blue, rolling waves, when Boxlia Winthrop, oiie of tho passengers, came on deck. j She was a lovely girl of eighteen, with hazel eye3, lijht-brown hair, a clear, white skin, and perfect features. Nothing could have been more charming tiian the coatcur of her well-formed he id, b danced oa a ue k as round and smooth as if sculpture .1 1'roin marbla, yet full of life ani expression. j The supple grace of her whole form, from the sloping shoulders, the Ufa'?, Uuxi- : bio waist, down to the small, well-sh-ipei feet, was remarkable, perhaps partially due to her habit3 of exercise in the open air, ' not only in walking and riding, but alao iu swimming. j She had been to Honolula, on a visit to so-ne relatives, and was now returning home uiviar the escoit of her lover, Horbert V,Tol don, a handsome naval ofiicjr of twenty, three, who had obtained leave of absence from the commander of his vessel, lying off Maui, Sandwich Islands. j Bertha was not at all demonstrative in manner. Some people said she was cold. Her calm self -possession never deserted her. She would look with still, clear eyes npon j her lover, when he spoke to her she seldom blushed, or stood with drooping lashes be fore him. This at times wounded Herbert's vanity. He wondered if it was possible she did not care for him, after all. True, her voice had faltered, he had heard the beating of her heart and felt the trembling of her hand, ' when he won from her many months before, the confession that she loved him. Bat these signs of affection soon passed sway, and 6he seemed as calm at ever. There are some men who can not like such women; there are others who adore them. Bertha was not long on deck when the young officer sought her side. j The two conversed. Finally He.-b?rt said, "II we have good weather, we will reach New York in three months. Then, dear girl, I will make you my wife. ' i "Yes, Herbert," she answered in a low, quiet voice. "I think we are well matched,' as it is called," he went on "don't you?" j "Certainly," she replied, in tho same qui et way, a slight smile on the pretty lips. ! "Mine for ever ! My own to love, cherish, ' and protect! Oh, Bertha, you cannot im agine how eagerly I look forward to the happy time !" j "Oh, yes, I can understand all that !' she replied, calmly, raiding her soft clear eyes, and looking him steadily, yet not boldly, in the face. I A shadow crossed Herbert's brow. Could she love him, and yet be so calm ? j "Bertha," he suddenly said, "I wish you ' would say something act in some way to let me know that you think as much of me as I do of you !" For an instant the girl flushed from brow ' to neck. Then she became pale. J "Herbert," she said, quietly, "you must never doubt me." Tbe young man was not satisSed. When Bertha left him, and went into the cabin, withont having spoken again, he felt cha grined. , The sun had risen, but it was vailed bv a hazy vapor. Masses of heavy black clouds j were rushing along from the windward. I The ship's captain was ordering sail to be ' taken in. Hither and thither about the decks went the active sailors, pulling and hauling on braces, sheets, and clewlines. Then up the rigging they darted to furl the topgallant sails, the fore and mizzen topsails, and to close-reef the main. While all hands were aloft the gale came shrieking, howling and roaring on the ship. With her lee-rail scooping up the white waters, her shrouds whistling and bending to the gale, her masts swaying and creak- ' ing, her timbers groaning and humming. away she went, driving through the mad waters, Vailed in a shroud of spray from bow to stern. Amidships, holding on to a pin on . the main fife-rail, stood Herbert, watching the men who wer furling the jib. Suddenly the ship made a mad plunge; a .great torrent of water came sweeping, like a huge, moving wall, over the weatner rail. -f Ere the yonng officer could avoid it "by running aft, it struck his form, washing him overboard like a shot. There was a slender, half-rotten rope hanging from the waist, attached to a rail. Hcrlert seized this as he went, with ready self-possession, twLsting it around his waist. The wild mass of water swept over and past him ; there he was, hanging by the end of the rope, about ten yards from the ship's side. Bertha, who had come on deck just as her lover was swept over the rail, now ran amidships, with pale cheeks and wild eyes, calling on the ship's officers to save the young man. No boat could be lowered in such a gale. The officers ran to the rail, however, and commenced hauling on the rope, to which the imperiled one, half -hidden by the rag ing, foaming waters and the flying spray, was still clinging. As they continu?d to haul, an ominous, snapping sound was heard. The strands of the rotten rope were giving away ! "He must go!" cried the captain, de spairingly. "No earthly jower can save him now ! The rope will part ere we get him alongside !" Nearer nearer to the ship was the young officer drawn. When he was within five yards of- it, the rope held him by only one of its strands ! This, going roun I and round, must part in a few seconds. With clasped hands, and eyes learning large and bright. Bertha watched Herbert, her lips tightly compressed, as if by the , power of her will alone she would prevent the rope from giving way. The strain upon that one strand was tremen loos. It cracked and snapped, but still held. 1 The first mate stood reaching far out over the rail to be ready to seize Herbert . the moment he should be drawn within his ! reach. The captain had taken a bowline hitch on the end of the main topsail hal liards, thus forming a noose, which he stood ready to throw if the strand should part ere Herbert was pulled to the ship. To throw it now would probably bj at i tended with fatal results. The noose ' would strike the other rope, and not slip down over the young man further than his neck, thus strangling him. Nearer still nearer ! I Bertha could now see her lover loot in op from the white, foaming vortex, hia I eyes bright with the hope of being saved. ! He was only two yards from the vessel's side. The first mate, leaning far over from the outside Of the ship, to which he had lashed himself, could almost reach him. "Thank God ! he is saved !n cried the man, hoarsely, as he made a clutch at Her bert's hair. He had just seized a few threads of those bright lock he was endeavoring to obtain a firmer hold, when a loud, snapping sound was heard, as the rope parted ! The man with the noose threw i but it fell short, dashed aside by a heavy sea, from Herbert, as the ship rushed past him. With a gurgling cry of despair, the young man drifted to leeward ! But not he alone ; for Bertha, who, the moment she saw that the strand must part had quickly fastened the end of the main topgallant halliards about he waist, had sprang bravely into the wild sea, and, striking bravely into the mad waves, as the turns of the rope which she had tlirown off j the pin slackened, she fast approached her lover. i Reaching him, when he was about twen- ty yards astern, sho threw her white arms about him, and held him firmly, while the men on deck now hauled on the rope. Although half suffocated by the raging waters although her beautiful waist was compressed byth 2 strain of the rope npon it, so that she could hardly breathe yet, with her white teeth firmly set, h.-r large wild eyes gleaming like stirs through the foam, her long wet hair sweeping the young man's face, her warm bosom beating against his own, the brave girl still held firmly to her lover, determined to save his life ! At List the two were drawn to the rfcip's side and helped aboard, amid the ringing cheers of sailors and officers. Herbert then bore into the cab'n the noble girl, who, exhausted by her exer tions, had nearly fainted when she reached the deck. , As he hung over her applying restora tives and kissing her again and ag ain, she smiled and said, gently: "Have I not done something at last to prove how much I love you ?" "You are a noble girl !" he answered : "and I now understand you. Another woman might have been want to exproes her feelings to me in passionate language and with burning cheeks ; but she would have stood helplessly by and seen me perish. Fot are one of those glorious crea tures who are demonstrative inaction rather than in speech !" And so he still foundher, when months later, he made her his wife. few A Chicago newspaper describes a drass which it took six mouths to make. ' I EARLT FKIKTIN IX A M Kit I C A.

Iaye had been brought over by Joseph Glover, a rich nonconformist preacher, who also brought with him a 6tock of printing material. An old sea captain, ore William Fierce, edited an almanac in the same year, and in the following tho Kevs. We!d cl Eliot produced "The Fsalms Newly Tuhed Into Meter," which passed through strren ty editions in one hundred and fourteen years, and was also reprinted in England and Scotland.

Daye's work was full of typographical er rors, but he was superseded by Samuel Green, mistakenly called the first printer in America, for we find that Diye obtained a grant for three hundred acres of hind in Massachusetts for "being the first who set up printing." Then comes the poems of Ann Bradstreet, wife of the Governor, and several other entailer pious works. In 1653 Eliot printed the catechism in the Indian languige, and in 1654 the print ing of all the laws of the court b jgun. The first American edition of the Bible was is sued in 1G61 and 1663. The first copyright was passed in 1672, stipulating that no printer should print or sell any more copies than were agreed up on, and paid for 1 y the owner, and the next enactment secured the oopyrijht for seven years. wnE.i THE ri:..N,Vl.VAM OIL SP1UXCS ITliltE FIRST DISCOVfci; fcl. A full century ago tha existence of oil springs in Western Pennsylvania was a published and well established fact. In j the Massachusetts Magazine, published i 1789, we find the following in relation t in to them: "In the noithem r.art of Pennsyl vania there i3 a cre.-k called Oil Crck, which empties into the Alleghany Kiver. It issues from a spring on the top of which floats an oil, tiuiilar to that called Barba does tar, and from which one may gather several gallons a day. The trooj sent to guard the western posts halted at this 6pring, collected some of the oil, and bathed their joints with it. This gave them great relief from the rheumatism with which they wero afflicted. The water, of which the troops drank freely, operated as a gen tle purge. "'ITiere is still earlier evidence of the ex istence of the oil-eprings than this. It is found in an old book published in 1772, en titled, 'Travels in North America, by Peter Kalm. On a map in this volume the exact location of tho oil-springs is given.11 We take this from an exchange; but this is still far behind. As early as 1G2?, vlmost a century and a h:ilf before Kalin's book appeared, a Franciscan mission u-y, Joseph de la Roche d Allion, who crossed the Ni agara River into what is now New York State, wrote a letter, in which he mentions the oil springs, and gives the Indian name of the place, which he explained to mean, "There is plenty there." His letter was printed in Sagard's "Ilistoire du Canada', in 1032, and subsequently in LeClorq.

ALL A BOL T EGGS. A writer in the Medical Jonrnnl, di scours ing on dyspepsia says : We have seen dvs- peptics who suffered untold torments with almost every kind of fool. No liquid could be taken without suffering. Bread became a burning acid. Meat and milk were solid and liquid fires. We have seen these same sufferers trying to avoid food and drink, and even going to the enema spring for sustenance. And we have seen the tors- men ts pass away and their hunger relieved by living upon the white f eggs, which have been boiled in bubbl ng water for thirty minutes. At the end of a week, we cave given the half yolk the egg with the white, and vip)n this del alonj, without fluid of any kind, we have teen them begin to gain flesh and strength, and refreshing sleep. After weeks of this treatment they have been able, with cure, to 'iegln upon other food ; and all this the writer adds, without . taking medicine.
