- -615-E.'S COUGH BiE§lsl - ! -
Tins long tried and popular Remedy Is again
called to the attention of the public. As often
as the year rolls around, the proprietors annu
ally make their bow to the people, and remind
them that amongst the many things required
for the health, comfort and sustenance of the
family through the long and tedious months of
winter, Coe's Cough Balsam should not be for
gotten. For years it has been a household medi
eine—and mothers anxious for the safety of their
children, and all who suffer from any disease of
the throat, chest and lungs, cannot afford to be
without it. In addition to the ordinary four
ounce so long In the market, we now furnish
our mammoth family size bottles, which will,
in common with the other size, be found at all
Drug Stores.
FOR CROUP,
The Balsam will be found Invaluable, and may
always be relied upon In the m..st extreme
cases.
WHOOPING COUGH,
The testimony of all who have used it for this
terrible disease during the last ten years, is,
that it invariably relieves and cures It.
SORE THROAT
keep your throat wet with the Dalsinn—taking
little and often—and you will very soonlindre
lief.
HARD COLDS AND COUGHS
Yield at once to a steady use of this great
remedy. It will succeed in giving relief where
all other remedies have failed.
SORENESS OF THE THROAT, CHEST
AND LUNGS
Do not delay procuring and immediately tak
ing Coe's Cough Balsam. when troubled with
any of the above named diflliculties. They are
all premonitory symptoms of Consumption, and
if not arrested, will sooner or Inter sweep you
away into the valley of shadows from which
none can ever return.
IN CONSUMPTION,
Many a eare-worn sufferer has found relief and
to-day rejoices that. her life has been made easy
and prolonged by the use of Coe's Cough Balsam.
IN SHORT,
The people know the article, and it needs no
comment from us. It is for sale by every Drug

WORLD'S GREAT REMEDY,
Coe's Dyspepsia Cure
This preparation Is pronounced by Dyspeptics
as the only known remedy that will surely cure
that aggravating and fatal malady. For years
it swept on its fearful tide, carrying before it to
an untimely grave, its millions of sufferers.
Coe's Dyspepsia Cure
has come to the
Rescue !.
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Siek Headache,
Sourness or Acidity of Stomach,
Rising of Food, Flatulency,
_Lassitude, ireariness,
finally terminating
in Death,
Are as surely cured by this potent remedy, as
the patient takes it. Although but five years
before the people, what is the verdict of the

able to do anything. She took, at your instance,
Coe's Dyspepsia CUT*. and has derived great

ARE NOW COMPLETED
As 531 miles of the westeen portion of the
line, beginning at Sacramento, are also done,
but about
_ _
200 MILES 11E3IAIN
To be finished, to open the Grand Through Line
to the Pacific. This opening will certainly take
place early this stmson.
Besides a donation from the Government of
12,500 acres of land per mile, the Company is en
titled Co a subsidy In U. S. Bonds on its line as
completed and accepted, at the average rate of
about ;124000 per mile, according to the difficul
ties encountered, for which the Government
takes a i.econd lien as security. Whether sub
sidies are given to any other companies or not,
the Government will comply with all Its
contracts with the Union Pacific rtaProad Com
pany. Nearly the whole amount of bonds
to which the COmpany will be entitled have al
ready been delivered.
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AT PAR
By Its charter, the Company Is permitted to
issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to
the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and no PIOTC. These Bonds are a First Mortgage
upon the whole road and all its equipments.
They have thirty years to run, at six per cent.
and, by special contract, both
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST AI E PAYABLE
IN GOLD.
iThe IL S. Supreme Court has recently decided
that this contract Is In all respects valid and of
legal obligation.
Such securities arc generally valuable In pro
portion to the length of time they have to run.
The longest six per cent, gold interest bonds of
the U. S. (the Sl's) will be due in 12 years, and
they are worth 112. If they had thirty years to
run, they would stand at not less than 123. A
perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the
Union Pacific should approach this rate The
demand for European Investment Is already
considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtless carry the price to a large
premium.
SECURITY OF THE BONDS.
It needs no argument to show that a First
Mortgage of ,12.6,500 per mile upon what for a
long time must be the only railroad connecting
the _Ulan tic and Pacific States is perfectly se
cure. The entire amount of the mortgage will
be about $:30,000,000, and the interest $1,800,000 per
annum in gold. The present currency cost of
this interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum,
while the gross earnings for the year 1865, front
way business only, on au average of less than
7011 miles of L 9 . 1 .1411,1, operation, more than
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.

This large amount is only an indication of the
immense trunk, that must go over the through
line in a few months, when the great tide et
Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. It ts
estimated that this business must make the
earnings of the road front Fifteen to Twen t;

The Money Under the Mill.
Few men are proof against the temptation
of sudden riches, and INlalcom, the miller,
was not one of the few. This honest fel
low might have lived and died without
anything, very foolish being remembered
against him, had it not been for a dream
that strangely unsettled his steady habits,
:tint disturbed his peace.
One night while asleep in bed, (and it is
a pity his sleep was not sounder,) he fan
cied himself behind his ❑till, at a place
closely hidden by bushes, and almost under
the foundation, trying oath all his might to
pry a broad, flat stone on' the top of a lingo
pan of gold coins that ho had found there,
buried in the earth,
Alt the next day this curious dream ran
in Malcom's head. At first he was inclined
to ridicule it, but before night ballad look
ed down upon the spot several times out of
the back window of his mill.

Night eame, and the miller went to bed,
tired as usual, but still thinking about that
pan of gold.
Quite to his astonishment, though we can
not say his regret, he dreamed the very
dream of the night before.
All the nett day the miller was so absent
minded that his wife rallied him several
times upon his silence, and promised him a
new pair of stockings if be would tell her
what he was thinking about. lie laughed,
and told her that some time or other, when
he yet very rich, perhaps he would let her
know.
Poor Malcom ! Sensible and contented
as he naturally was, be was actually giving
way to the lawless and dangerous wish,
that conies to everybody, probably, as often
as once in a lifetime, to grow rich without
work. lie could hardly keep away from
the mysterious spot behind the mill. At
breakfast, dinner and supper-time, before
going to his work, his feet involuntarily
lotted their way into the sired where he
kept his garden tools.
Vlrhat if he should dream about the gold
a third time? Then there could be but lit
tle doubt that it might Rrove a reality.
Sure enough, the third night lie dreamed
tiles:tine dream ! And it would have been
strange If he had not, for it had been con
stantly in his mind for two days. lie woke
early, much agitated by his thrice-repeated
vision.

Fully possessed with the idea that great
wealth was in store for hint, he rose, dress
ed himself with as little noise as possible,
so as not to wake his wife, hastened to the
mill, taking with him his spade, shovel,
pickax, crowbar and hoe.
It was full two hours before his usual
time of commencing work. He hoped to
reach the pan of gold before breakfast. But
he found the digging more difficult than he
had anticipated. In Isis hurry and nervous-
DOSS he thought he had never attempted
anything so bard in his life.
After clearing away the nettles he fell to
work with his crowbar to remove the
stones. One, two, three, live, ten, twenty.
—it really seemed as if there were nothing
but stones.
Two hours wore away. Three hours, and
our infatuated gold-dreamer had made
quite a hole.
Insensible to the lapse of time, he con
_tinned his efforts. Without noticing it, he
was working his way gradually under the
foundation of his building. Shovelful after
shovelful flew out in rapid succession. One
would have thought be was toiling for it
wager.
All at once the voice of his wife startled
him, calling his name in the mill. She had
wondered at his going out so early, but,
likely good housekeeper, went about get
ting breakfast.
:N.lalcoin dropped his tools hurriedly when
he heard her voice, and climbed tip through
the flume into the mill, looking like an

What are Riches?

Never Mind.
Malcom muttered something about hay
ing to fix the dam a little, and went to his
breakfast.
A. good wash ❑nd u hearty meal refreshed
him. his spirits rose to a pitch of enthus
iasm, that actually made his wife wonder if
he had been indulging in a morning drum.
She could not remember when he had talk
ed and laughed so much at the break fast
table.
"..4.11," thought the miller, she little
knows what good luck is waiting for us,"
Full of his precious secret he went down
and started his !nil I, but it was bard wait
ing till the forenoon's grinding was off his
hands. Lie wade an hour for himself
after dinner—another before supper—to
work at the hole.
Deeper anti deeper he dug, throwing out
the soft, wet sand. His progros4 was rapid
now. He would soon reach the—
Clack !
What did his shovel strike then with
such a ring? Greatly excited, the poor for
tune-hunter redoubled his exertions.
At the bottom of the hole was a flat stone,
level as a floor. Underneath it, without
doubt, lay the pan of gold ! - --- .
Again and again he struck it with his
shovel. He thought—yes, he was sure, it
sounded hollow. His dream was
He could keep his secret no longer. It was
too good. He must tell his wife, and to
gether they would heave up the stone and
possess themselves of the enormous riches
beneath it.
He left his hole under the mill more
elated than Archimedes when he left the
bath shouting his famous " Eureka." But
Malcom kept still. His self-control deserv
ed a monument, considering how agitated
and exultant he really was. He would
contain himself till he had told his wife the
whole story, and so make her surprise the
greater.
Little was eaten at that supper-bible, you
may guess, when once the wonderful dis
covery was out. The simple couple looked
at each other and almost cried for joy.
" Now," said .the miller, triumphantly.
" we'll go down and lift the stone."
Recovering from her bewilderment, his
wife was preparing to follow him, when a
sudden and strange roar, like the sliding
down of heavy lumber, made them stop
and listen in alarm.
The next instant both rushed to see the
cause of the noise, fearing, but not daring
to speak what it might be.
Instead of a glittering fortune, a
scene of ruin met their eyes—disaster that
in a moment had left them almost paupers.
The Mill, their only source of support,
undermined by the foolish labors of its
owner, had tumbled down and lay an utter
wreck.
Poor :Malcom! Ho clay have been an
wrest man, but be was not a wise one.

Orgie among the Vermin of the
Cellar.
A few clays since Mr. Barnard Hanayan,
proprietor of a wine cellar on Seneca street,
bud occasion to cirti'w some Hungarian wine
from a butt; there is nothing remarkable in
this statement, but attached to it is a little
incident we never remember to have seen
mentioned in natural history,and one which
Beard or any other artist may use it he
chooses, in illustrating the Bisgraceful hab
its of the lower animals.
A drunken man is often denounced by
teetotallers as being wor,.e than a dumb
brute, "becanso the brute will not drink in
toxicating, liquor;" but that assertion SO
derogatory to the human species will no
longer carry any weight :V: a temperance
argument in this section of the world, for it
can now be proven that the lower animals
will not only drink wine without any pre
vious education of their tastes, but drink to
excess, and then misbehave.
As stated above, Mr. H. drew the sweet
wine, but he did not close the tap complete
ly, as it scents, and soon afterward he dis
covered an old toper of a tat sucking the
juice of the grape which had fa/ten on the
floor. On pereeiviog the biped the quad
ruped scampered into his hole.
Being naturally of an inquisitive and ex
perimental turn of mind, the landlord ex
amined the faweet and found_ that the wine
bad been falling in drops upon the flour,
and that the rats had imbibed all they could
secure. Giving the wine a little inure vent
he then retired and through the glas*t. door
Watched the course of events.
Emboldened by former draughts, proba
bly, one old sticker soon put in his appear
ance and renewed his attack on the liquor,
even standing on his hind leg,. to reach
the wine, which was now flowing n little
faster. Others soon joined their leader, and
then Ibllowed a real rat-ification, the like of
which was never seen before in this town.
They squealed, scratched, bit, and struggled
for the possession of the tap, until many of
them, one after the other, became "tight as
bricks"—dead drunk—and lay upon the
door in utter helplessless.
At this stage ol the carousal Mr. Ifanayan
again entered the cellar and made a vigor

much consternation among the long-tailed

them were frightened into a degree of sober

where they undoubtedly , slept Ott the effects
of the liquor and woke up next morning
with terrible he.idache. Four or live 01 the
brutes, however, were too far gone fur i

were all condemned to death instanter,

from his stupor he seemed to be not a bit
ashamed of his conduct, but refused to take
"a smile of whisky" that was offered,
though he did sip a little of the wine.

The Dying Never Weep.
It is a striking fact that the dying never

that he is insensible and stiff already in the

he asks for his father's hand, as if for
strength in the mental struggle, and leans
on the breast of a mother, brother or sister,
with still conscious affections ; and just be

verse with the angel of Summer, he says to
his oldest brother—the last audible "good
