COE'S COUGH BALSAM !
Tuts 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 tile 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
cine—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.
The Balsam will be found invahfable, and may
always be relied upon in the most, extreme
eases.
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.
Keep your throat wet with the Balsam—taking
little and often—and you will very soon find re
lief.
Yield at once to a steady use of this great
remedy. It will succeed in giving relief where
all other remedies have failed.
SORENESS OP THE THROAT, CHEST
Do not delay procuring and immediately tak
ing Coe's Cough Balsam, when troubled with
any of the above named dffilieulties. They are
all premonitory symptoms of Consumption, and
if not arrested, will sooner or later sweep you
away into the valley of shadows from which
none can ever return,
Many a care-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.
The people know the article, and it needs no
comment from us. It is for sale by every Drug

Ye Boys in Blue who Fought with
Geary.
BY B. H. COBB.
AIR—" Marscillaise."
Ye boys in, Blue, who fought with Geary,
And brought to bay the nation's foe,
In freedom's cause who n e'er grew weary,
Returning traitors' blow for blow;
Can ye forget the brave who perished
By treason's hurling shot and shell,
Yet bade us cherish as they fell
The rights our martyred fathers cherished?
Forget? Forget? Ah, no!
Theirs is a deathless fame !
The brave shall live, while traitor lcnaves
Inherit deathless shame.
We follow him who saved the nation
In wild Wauhatchie's midnight fight;
Who sounded victory's invocation
Above the clouds on Lookout's height;
We hear his battle-shout still ringing—
It stirs us like a bugle blast,
When hosts for deadly fray are massed,
Aud'countless death o'erhead are winging!
"Strike home! strike home, ye brave!
For freedom, truth and right!
Close up--close up ! our flog shall crown
Yon clouded mountain bight!"
We hear no more the battle thunder;
Green is the turf above our dead ;
But griefs which rent our hearts asunder
Still rankle where the shaft was sped;
So rally once again for Geary,
Who marched - with Sherman to the sea;
Our standard-bearer still is hel
Of him our hearts shall ne'er grow weary;;
Hurrah, hurrah, ye brave !
For Geary tried and true !
Close up! close up? and charge once mote
The treason-plotting crew!
I've Been Thinking.
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
What a glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbor's less ;
For instance, you and I.my friend,
Are sadly prone to talk
Of matters that concern us not,
And other's follies mock.
I've been thinking, if we'd begin
To mind our own affairs,
That possibly our neighbors might
Contrive to manage theirs.
We've faults enough at home to mend—
It may be so with others,
It would be strange if we were not,
Since all mankind are brothers.
Ohl would that we had charity .
For every man and woman,
Forgiveness is the mark of those
Who know "to err is human,"
Then let us banish jealousy—
Let's lift our fallen brother,
As we journey down life's road,
Do good to one another.

Oliver Hunt's Great Plea,.
When Oliver Hunt was twenty-one, be
decided to study law. .1-le was a good
looking, pleasant fellow, of fair ability.
The young ladies thought him handsome
and talented. The more enthusiastic ones
pronounced him " splendid." He cer
tainly had a great deal of money, and
spent it very freely, points on which all
were agreed.
CB=
NO. 13
When Oliver announced his detenuina
don to study law; many opinions were ex
pressed on the subject. He was the
centre of an admiring circle of friends,
who, of course, did not all think alike.
The older ladies, among whom was his
mother, hoped that he would be a clergy
man; while the younger ones, with charm-
ing worldliness, thought He would make
a magnificent lawyer.
There was, however, one notable ex
ception. Fanny Shaw said one day :
"Oliver Hunt will never make a suc
cessful lawyer; lie is too fanciful."
Oliver heard the remark, and remew
bored it.
In due time he was admitted to the
bar, but as this honor is conferred on all
young men who have.gone through the
studies and presented themselves at the
proper time and place, his admission sig
nified nothing, except that he was ready
to improve himself.
Privately, Oliver had no especial liking
for the profession, nor did he need its
fees. He reasoned thus : By studying
faithfully for two or three years, I shall
add greatly to my stock of knowledge,
make myself a stronger man. Moreover,
if this fortune of mine should some day
take to itself wings, and that other plan
should fail, I would still have something
to rely on.
After his admission, he said to himself :
"Now I sec that .everybody is expecting
me to do something in the professional
line. I haven't the least idea of doing
anything; but I shall hang out a shingle,
just for appearance." So he caused a
wing of his mother's house to assume a
legal air, and placed a sign on the door
post. It read after this fashion :
OLIVER, HUNT,
ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW
"Now," said he, jocosely, "I must wait
or a elieut.
He did not " wait" by sitting iu his
office nntil the client came; " that," he
said, " would be conducive of dyspepsia."
Accordingly he exercised and refreshed
himself by such gentle stimulants as cro
quet and pie-nics with the ladies, while
with his rougher companions lie boated,
fished and hunted with a zeal that made
dyspepsia a sheer impossibility.
Indeed, when I say that three months
faded away without bringing a client, the
assertion is founded on my own observa
tions, for that personage might have
knocked at the office door for six days in
the week and Oliver would have been un
conscious of the fact. On Sunday only
did he honor his sign by getting behind
it. Between church hours he diligently
read the magazines, retiring to this un
congenial region lest. he should worry his
mother by a display of literature not ap
propriate to . the day. Had he by chance
seen a possible client coming up the
gravelled path he would have summarily
locked the door.
His friends were trubled by such strange
conduct. It became the general impres
sion that though Hunt was a clever fellow.
be was altogether too easy for a lawyer,
Not content with astonishing his friends
by neglecting his business during the day,
he occasionally perplexed his mother by
'gottrii.
sitting up halt' the
. night. 'What could
he be doing alone in his room?,:
Oliver took remonstrances in good part,'
but did not profit theM:„" Why," to
would say, " howcan I clO',anything
I get a 'client?" a consideratiOn which
seemed 'to satisfy himself if it ,ttiled":to .
quiet the apprehension of his advisers.
One morning, about three months after
that one which witnessed the adjustment .
of his sign, 'Judge Shaw, an old family:
friend, said to him
"I am disappointed in you. Oliver,
disappointed." He spoke with some
warmth. " Why, man, how do you ca-,
pect to do anything unless you are in the'
proper place to do it? His office is a
young lawyer's proper tarrying place,
whether anybody comes or not. We are
losing confidence in you, Oliver. If you
don't do something to show yourself in
earnest, we shall conlude you're not made
of the right stuff. Get into court. I
don't believe you have seen the inside of
the court house this term. Bring a suit
against somebody. Make a plea. Go
it streug on anything or nothing. m
the judge. you know. I'll help you along.
I thought too much of your father to let
his son fail the first time he conducts a
suit. Take my word for it, you'll suc
ceed."
" Thank you Judge, thank you," said
Oliver. "I'm glad to hear you say so;
the fact is,' he continued, with some hesi
tation, " I have a suit ou hand—a very
important one. Indeed, though I have
said nothing about it, it has bothered me
a good deal of late. I—l think I shall
bring it before the court in a day or two."
"Right, Oliver, right," said the judge,
greatly pleased. •' Cautious, I see, you
don't want to be over-confident. It looks
well." Then in a more confidential tone,
"Is the case an important one ? Any
noney involved ?"
-"Twenty thousand at least," replied
Oliver. "Ifl am successful it will be
the making of me, while if I tail—"
" Oh, you won't fail—the word isn't in
the book. Didn't I promise to help you ?
IVhen-do you bring it in ? In a week or
two you say? Suit your convenience.
Docket's full, but we'll crowd it in, if we
have to be irregular and crowd something
else out." •
"Let me see," said Oliver, with an air
of deliberation, " you musn't do anything
irregular on my account. Besides, the
defendMit is a persen who might object to
having .1133; more stir made than is neces
sary. This is Monday. I will bring the
matter before your honor by Thursday.
• Good," returned the . judge; . " keep
tip`your courage," 'and he - walked away
briskly. " Twenty thousand, at least;
something worth while," he soliloquized.
" Oliver is a 'deeper fellow than I took
him to be. He knows his own council,
too."
Meanwhile, Oliver had looked at his
watch, oraered the cars iage, and was ran
sacking the garden for a gorgeous boquet.
He did look rather •deep, and there was
an odd expression on his face which the
keenest observer would — have - been at a
loss to interpret: •
He arranged his flowers with] the ut
most nicety, and then bestowed an equal
amount of care on the adjustment of his
neck The carriage being ready he
took a final survey of himself in the glass,
and drove away.
He drove directly to a large house, sit
uated in the midst of spacious grounds.
It was evidently the "residence of a man
who possessed both wealth and refine
ment. -The house was substantial, the
surroundings elegant. Ho gave the bell a
business-like pull, and waited. Soon a
light step and rustle were heard. "
the defendant in person," he thought.
"I am honored." A young lady appear
ed, and greeting him pleasantly, said :
" You see lam ready. I shan't keep
you waiting a minute."
" And here is your reward," said the
lawyer, gallantly tendering the boquet.
" Beautiful !" Her eyes danced.
" You have arranged them with exquisite
taste—for a lawyer," she added, archly.
" I tried to make it presentable," was
the response.
They were now in the carriage, and
the gentleman drove on in dogged silence.
The lady glanced at him timidly and
said :
" How anxiously you look to-day, Mr.
Hunt, and how silent you are. Are you
engaged in a suit at last? I don't believe
you are, for I am at a loss to know where
or when a client would catch you. Papa
is quite concerned about you." •
His daughter also looked quite con
cerned, though she spoke lightly. She
was evidently a friend of long standing,
who tried, to disguise her own anxiety,
and at the same time give a mild reproof.
Oliver felt the reproof, for his cola
rose. After a long silence he said :
"You are right. I onglit to be ashamed
of myself for not pushing things more.
But, Fanny, I really am engaged in a
suit. It is a very important one—against
a lady,too, or rather the defendant is a
lady. In fact, so much is the stake, that
I caunot conceal any anxiety as to the re
sult, and am not surprised that my face
betrays ii."
Fanny was penitent in an instant, but
only said :
"
Who is the plaintiff ?"
" Lam."
" Who is the defendant ?"
" You are.",
She Started.
"You are rnysterions-explain 'your-
self."
When I first lMeatre interested it this
suit," said Oliver, " I hardly know, I
suddenly found myself prosecuting it with
the greatest ardor, though in a quiet way.

The )seferidaut's face was hic43en ,by
the,t;oquet, but she said ,
" I will be there."
" Good," rejoined Oliver, in a lawyer•
like voice. Then it suddenly became
very unlawyer•like.
"My dearest, girl," lie said, don't
make a strong defence. knoW- my_
cause is weak enough, though believe me,
it seems weaker than it really .0 .
Fanny, if I had the assurance that your
heartwill plead for my client, even though,
your judgement compels you to make a
strong defence, rwould take courage."
"It does— t will. Bat you know,
Oliver, that your client's , inattention .to
his profession is not in his favor, and has
already prejudiced the judge . against .
him."
If he is against the client he is for the
lawyer," rejoined Oliver, laughing. "He
told me as much this morning. He said
he would do his utmost to help me. I
doubt, though, if he would have spoken
so encouragingly bad he known-the na
ture of my suit. But I have, neverthe
less, to prove my client not altogether so
thoughtless a character as he has the .
credit of being."
" I hope so," said Fanny earnestly.
Oliver whipped ep his horses and they
were soon at the gate again. He assistgd
her to alight in profound silence. and she
hurried in. I-Ie drove sliwly.home.
Precisely at eight, Oliver presented
himself at Judge Shaw;s- door. Being
ushered into the library, he foumd. Fanny
already there. She looked up _brightly,
and smiled, but said nothing. The j udge
- immediately referred to the morning's
conversation, in part recorded.
"I was a little hard on you, Oliver this
morning—a little too :hard, I fear. I
thought you had nothing on hand, and as
a friend of your late fatberJ•took the.
liberty of saying a . word to his son. But
it seems you've had an eye to .business all
: the while, though, - I must say, nobody.
would have known it," and the judge
smiled blandly at his own learning,-prob
ably.

Now Oliver had been expecting this
question, but its abruptness startled him.
"I am."
The judge's eyebrows suddenly lifted.
" I expect to plead my own cause,'•' OJ
iver continued. . _
" Hunt eh ?" versns whom ?" inquired
the judge.
"Shaw."
" Hunt versus Shaw ?" . - -
- It was the Judge's turn to start.
"-Yes," said Oliver,- " Miss Fanny- over
there is the defendant.",
The judge looked sharp at Fanny, who
did'nt look at Lim at all. . .
"Look here, Oliver," he began at length,
his warmth raising, " this wonl, do: You,
have been trifling with me: - :What do you
mean, sir ?"
The judge was getting into a. heat.
Oliver cast a desparing glance towards
Fanny, which seemed to give him courage,
for he immediately said—
" Ahem:!"-
" Well, sir," said the judge. " What
are.you waiting for ?"
" May it please the court ?" said Oli-
The court looked more mystified than
pleased, but contrived to nod, in so curt a
manner, however, that Oliver derived.
little encouragement from it.
" I told your honor, this morning," Oli
ver continued, " that I should bring in. the
matter by Thursday. On consultation
with the defence we deemed it expedient
to present our cause to night, provided
your honor would grant us a hearing-,."
";We have no witnesses,to examining
on either side, and whether the defence
will have anything to'offer remains to bo
seen."
" in the first place, Sir, I must state that
I love your daughter devotedly, and have
some reason to believe that she is not
wholly indifferent to me."
The effects of this shot.were immediate
ly visible. , • '
The judge looked harder than "truer at
Fanny, while that young lady showed evi
dent signs of consternation. • •
Oliver resumed :
"I am aware that my career as a law
yer has not been such as to justify me in
asking the priceless gift of her love. Even
