Lyon's Periodical Drops!
T UE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES!
I have tested these Drops in my own prat-,
tire, over ten years, and do not hesitate to
say, that nothing has yet been developed by
vodkal research, that acts so powerfully,
positively, and harmlessly, in cases of female
irregularity, as does this mediAne. In all
recent casts ft lover fails, while thousands
who have been long sufferers, are indebted to
it for the boon of health to-day.
Although so powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all
times, except when specially forbidden in the
directions.
They have been extensively employed by
eminent physicians in Prude and England, u
well at ha my own practice, over ten years,
and I have yet to hear of the first instance of
failure. 1 could give you testimenials of their
efficacy from nil over the northern and west.:
ern States, were they not, in their nature pri
vate. Over 100,000 bottles have been sold
the past year, and I hope and trust es many
sufferers have been benefitted. I em welt
dware that a remedy 80 potent to remove a 1
obsti unions, may be used for a bad purpose,
'but trust that where one bottle is thus used,
ten may tall into the hands of really needy
sufferers.
To all who suffer from any irreguhrity
painful, difficult. excessive, offensive or ob
at, acted Ai tistroation, Lucorrhea, or the train
of diseases that fellow, I would say, try a bot
tle of D. LYJN'II Fasaca PNRIODICAL DROPS.
Being a fluid preparation, their action is more
direct and positive than any pills of powders.

PL 4.ST TREES.
The genial season has come—the sea
son of bursting buds, emerald 'grasses
and singing birds. It is the season, also,
of unusual activity and labor on the
farm, in the garden and the nursery.
There Is no lark of employment for those
who "earn their bread by the sweat of
the brow." We have ploughing, sow
ing, manuring, planting and pnining to
attend to; also the transplantirig'of fruit
and ornamental - trees. The farmer or
gardener who overlooks this latter duty,
neglects one of the most important du
ties of his profession. The diversity of
soil and climate in this country, gives us
remarkable facilities for the cultivation
of fruit ; and no man who owns a farm,
garden, or even a house-lot, should omit
setting out fruit trees. They cost but
little, require small attention, yet return
us delicious and health-giving food, and
add considerably to the value and attrac
tiveness of our homes.
Many persons, Intelligent ones, too,
live on farina or country-seats all their
Pres, but never Set out a tree. They ne
glect this duty because they think "it
takes ino long for trees to grow and bear
fruit." Prodigious philosophers! Sup
pose those rbo "came before us"—our
ancestors—eutertained the same selfish
notions; where would be the luxuriant
fruit that no a' tickles our palate? Where?
Not certainly in the blooming orchards,
nor in every village or city market. In
stead of the abundance of apples, peach
es and pears • the -firofasion of • plums,
cherries and other ' delicacies In the way
of small fruits, we should " . 9 hungry"
for those luiurlea; and the brible or•
chards whisk beautify our farms and di
versify the landscape would become en
riosities, and the little gardeirof the poor
man would be a comparative desert,
wild, a solitude to himself and faintly.
This error, mistake, or stupidity in not
planting trees because they are slow in
cbming to maturity, or frail-bearing, is
not valid ; it is the excuse of the idle
man, the apology of the sluggard, and
the subterfuge, evasion and shift of those
who live upon the labor of otherS.
We cannot jump from diaper to broad
cloth ; we cannot make prize-liSef out of
juvenile calves; we cannot slide from
depravity to righteousness, nor can we
raise br propagate tree fruits in ri day or
ayear. But, by proper planting; skillful
culture on favorable soils, we can obtain
fruit hi a.comparatively brief time. If
we do not live to erjoy the returns for
our labor somebody else will—perhaps
your children or grand-chihiren,,or may
be a foot-sore and travel-weary beggar
may rest beneath the broad, beudidg
branches of your orchard; he may satis
fy the plowings of hunger on your fruit,
and thank the Great Father of all, that
you planted, watered, pruned and pro
tected the trees that continued to bloom,
blossom and bear good fruit while the
grassand the daisy nod over your moul
dering ashes.
• The profits of orchard, or tree culture.,
are increasing every year. With good
management the fruits of the' orchard
will often bring more than the produc
tions of the field. Few orchards, if on
good soil and properly cared for, will fail
to net one hundred dollars per acre—of
ten twice or thrice that amount. The
demand for flue fruit is increasing an
nually, and there is no danger of over
stocking the market. But if there was
little marketable value In orchard fruit,
It should be cultivated for Its health-giv
ing properties—for yourielf, yotir family
and your friends. Go on the principle
of increasing domestic comfort ; of per
petuating good health ; of adding some
thing to"the pleasure and happiness of
those who are dependent upon you.--
Generosity to posterity, to those who
may toil on' the same farm, who may
sow the same fields, who may gather the
haryests after you have gone, and who
arcs at last laid beside you under the
same identical soil you have cultivated,
should not be forgotten. We all belong
to one great family or brotherhood, "of
whom God is the Great Father.—Farin
and Fireside.
POROUS, RAINFALL AND ' WATER
COURSER
Thednfluence which trees of forests
exercise in the production of rain and
keeping up the flow in water bourses, is
attracting the attention of the residents
of the prairie regions. This influence is
much greater than would be imagined
by those who have not watched the ef
fect of the gradual removal of the forests
on the fall of rain, and the consequent
diminution of the volume of 'water in
creeks and brooks. In early days, away
back in the beech woods, rainy days in
the summer and snowy ones in the win
ter were the rule, and fair ones the ex
ception. Then the creeks and water
courses were flush and never .known to
run dry. Ten years ago, on vNiting that
region, we Were surprised to find that
what were considerable creeks in early
days, and well stocked with fish, had
dried up, and the courses become par
tially obliterated. This change was pro
duced by clearing up the forest; hence
the inference Is fair that were trees to be
cultivated to nny considerable extent in
the prairie regions, the atmospheric in.-
fluences there would undergo a corres
ponding change. As corroborative of
this view, the following, from lioussing 7
ault's Rural Economy, is subjoined:
"The Well spring, in the commune of
Soubey, France, furnishes a remarkable
instance of the influence of woods upon
fountains. A feW years ago this spring
did not exist. At the place where it now
rises a small thread of water was observ
ed after very long rains, but the stream
disappeared with the rain. The spot
was in the middle of a very steep pas
ture, inclining to the south. Eighty
years ago the owner of The land perceiv
ing that some firs were shooting upin
the upper part of it, concluded to let
them grow ; and they soon formed a
flourishing grove. As soon as they were
well grown a fine spring' appeared in
place of the occasional rUI, and furnish-
Adm'i

ed water in the longest drooth. For forty
or fifty years this spring was considered
the best in Closdu-Doubs. A few years
since the grove was felled and the
ground turned , again to a pasture. The
spring disappeared with the wood, and
is now as dry as It was ninety years
ago."
BE ROBBI NO PASTURE.-A dairyman
once remarked that he did not like the
community for dairying, on account of
the bees which were pastured, the coun
try keeping bees largely. This was' a
new thought, and opened the eyes of the
by-standers, but it is true nevertheless.
The saccharine principle is an impor
tant element in herbage. The white clo
ver, which is one of the main rellanees
of the dairyman, is seriously robbed of
its treasure by these roving thieves, at
the expense of the sweetness of the milk,
and the sugar generally necessary to a
cow's benefit. It is it email matter, and
overlooked, but has its fdrt*.—Cor. Ru
ral World.
HOLDING UP MILX.-Mr. L. Morton
informs the Rural American that when
his cows trouble him in this way he
reaches his hand up.and places the ends
of his fingers on the hackbone,torward'of
the hips, and presses down hard for a
minute or so, and they will always give
down.
Cilicnns (E WAN() POE APPLE TREES.—
rt, is well known that the Yellow Belle
fleur is a very shy bearer in many loca
tions. Mr. (;heeseman says that he has
found that a liberal mulch of chicken
guano applied about the tree has caused
abundant crops of excellent fruit, while
other trees planted the same time, not
so treated, have borne but little, and of
inferior quality.
A Goon ExAmTLE.—William Clark,
of Northumpton, Mass., has offered to

Goon FOR FonTT TENNI.
The Shelby (Ind.) Courier says:—Or
gans in the churches have become very
fashionable of late. In almost every
church you go-into, you will find one of
these lurftruments. A friend of ours,
who lives in a neighboring village, rela
ted to us yesterday, an amusing incident
which occurred in their church.
He said, to be in the fashion, they must
have an organ. The congregation could
not afford to pay an organist, so they
got a self-acting organ, a compact instru7
ment well suited to the purpose, and
constructed to play forty tunes.
The sexton had Instructions how to set
it going, and how to stop it; but unfor
tunately he forgot the latter part of his
business; and after singing the first four
verses of a hymn, the organ could
not be stopped, and continued playing
two verses more; then just as the cler
gyman completed the words "let us
pray," te organ again clicked and start
other anr tune.
The sexton and others continued their
exertions to find the spring, but no one
could put a stop to it; so they got four
of• the stoutest men in the church to
shoulder the, perverse instrument, and
they carried it down the aisle' of the
church, playing away, into the church
yard, where it continued clicking and
playing away until the whole forty
tunes were finished.
♦ LONG MICE.
Two Irishmen engaged in peddling
packages of linen, bought an old mule to
aid in carrying the burdens. Oue would
ride awhile, then the other, carrying the
hales of linen on the mule. One day,
the Irishman who was on foot, got close
up to his muleship, when he received a
kick on one of his shins. To be revenged,
he picked up a stone and hurled it at the
mule, but by accident struck his com
panion on the back of the head. Seeing
what he had done, he stopped and began
to groan and rub his. shin. The one on
the mule turned and asked what was the
matter.
"The cratur's kicked me," was the
rep ß ly e .
"jabers," said the other, "he's did
tile same thing to me on the back of the
head."
TOO GOOD TO BE LOT.
A•gototl joke is related of a couple of
member r% of the West Virginia Legisla
ture, which is worth relating. In con
versation one .day on the subject of the
Lord's Prayer, one offered to bet
the other five dollars that he did not
know it. The bet was accepted, and, by
agreement, the Legislator was to repeat
it. He commenced as follows:
, "Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
111 should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
"Well, I declare," replied the astonish
ed Lekirlator, "you have won the bet,
but I'll be --- if I thought you knew
it," and forthwith handed over the five
dollars, to the great amusement of a num
ber of gentlemen present.

whose testimony she was put to death .by

Wallace, was Sanford Conover, now a
convict of perjury for the very testimony

tic materials to tell the story of banter&
Conover, and we beg for it the attention
of our readers. It is well worth it.
It Is not easy to find Crinover!ti origin
but the first fact we know of him that
before the Lincoln murder, he says, he
'was in Canada, & correspondent of the
New York Tribune. "As soon," says he,
"as the investigation took place, I came
on to Washington, pint-offered nt,,yee(f as
a witness." And he was welcomed and
taken into pay, and as we; have said ex-'
amined on the trial of Mrs Surmtt, and
proved everything as to the complicity%
of the Confederate huthorities that his,
employers desired, and was kept in their"
pay afterwards. Banging-Mis. Surma'
was not enough. That was easily man
aged. But implicating thoroughly the
Confederate leaders in the deed of blood,
was more difficult, and ro, in the sum
mer and autumn of 1865, Conover, undei

Justice, went 'to work to cs,k up some,

Question. 'Von were employtil, then, by. the'
Kw/eminent (or the purpose?
A. Yes.
Q. What wns the neenshm of the employment
of vont services by the government?
A. The Inf,rnmtlmi thin T gave to Judge dolt
that I knew an these witnesses: •
The summer of 1865 was 0n active time
with Mr. Conover and the Bureau. He
was an energetic agent, atitibefore the tat
of November he had the witnesses all
ready, drilled, and (.11 the ground. The
principal ones were two men calling
themgelves Campbell and Snevel. Thcy•
were taken to Judge Holt, and on the btis
of Novembet, 11435,,Coogress then about
to meet and an investigatiotLimpending.
their affidavits were made, Campbell's.
being taken down by Judge Holt hi mad f.
he—the Juilge, so zealous was be in this
cause—actually accompanying thtr wlni
ness to the magistrate, Mr. Caubtin, to
see that the work was properly done—
and when the affidavit was'made, Camp
bell was taken to the White House and
Introduced to the President and
Seward and Mr. Stanton.. '
"Was this &position; risked the ennitnittee,
"written out by Judge Holt preel.ely as you the
It to him on the ocentdow of its being Witt u
A. Yes.
Q. Where was it taken?
A. In Judge Holt% offilte.
Q. Ind you go with Judge ma tothe President
after this depoodtion was taken? and was it read
over to the President in your hearing and did yon
assent to ii?
A. Yes, sir,
Q. Were ~vter Intermit:tied hy the Preaidettt stul
'Mr. &wont ow that oreitsiou?
A. 'fee.
And ar,atn he was asked
Row moat did you receive Utter making this
affidavit?
A. I thtnk attogether for expenses ifl2-tilikl
trrttn Mt. Voeuvor and the balance from Judge
Molt.
Now, this affidavit was a most remark
able and startling production—the lead
ing points being that Campbell had been
in the Confederate service—knew John
H. Surratt intimately, wee with him in
Richmond a short time before the Lin
coln murder, and was present when Mr.
Davis and Mr. Benjamin authorlied and
advised and instigated the assassination
of the President, \lce President, the
Cabinet and General Grant. "As we
were about to leave (and we can imagine
with what* delight Holt wrote down the
precise words,) Mr. Davis shook our
hands kindly and said he hoped we
would act bravely and succeed, adding
that there had been so many attempts at
this thing which had failed that he had
not much confidence in them." We wish
we had mom for this affidavit as well as'
Snevel's, but thepoints are fairly given.
Such was the cherished testimony of the
Bureau of Military Justice!
Now for the sequel. It Is almost in
credible and yet it is literally true.
On or about the Bth of May,1866, Camp
bell—this same man whom Holt had
clutched and embraced and Introduced
to the President - and whom Seward had
interrogated—appeared before the Judi
ciary Committee of the House of Repre
sentatives—all Radicals but one—awl
thus its record speaks:

And so on to the end the witness testify-er

Hotel in Washington in October, I&6—'

being - In the possession of the witness
and by him given, on his confession, to -

Now, here at the end o fthis dark chap
ter we pause, leaving to our readers this
food for meditation, and meaning from
Wise to time, to continue it to the bitter
end. We have es tk.sed perjury and
