The Greatest Discovery of the Age I
THERE are no diseases so debilitating In
their effects upon tho constitution as the
above, and noue more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect a cure In cases of the long
est standing, as wollas prove a preventive In
the forming Btages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on tho dis
ease, totally eradicating It from the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never fulled to
cure the Chills In any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED i
Their Reputation it HtaUihtd. Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
Hurt it no Rltk in Taking Them. They
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cbubo
none of those lingering diseases so often the re
sult of the many nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommend them as fur superior to Qui
nine, or any other known remcdy.for they leave
the system In a healthy stute, and the patient
beyond the probability ot a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The
genuine are put np In square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamned on the lid. and the signature of
"Thompson & Crawford," on the wrapper.

That Stoae UlrL
Jorrv was our only brother. look-od uPn

we often wondorod that pur own intim."6'
could so successfully resist his charms. It 6
had graduated at Harvard, and was doing
Europe, and writing us the most delight
ful and gossiping letters from all the beau
tiful places he had been visiting.. He had
been delighted with London, gone into ec
stacies over Paris, exhibited the proper
rapture at Berlin and Vienna ; and his last
letter had been dated from Florence, and
in it he told us he should soon be starting
for home. A few days after the reception
of this lost epistle, I received a hasty scrawl
from him, as follows :
Florence 18
Dkak Sa :
I've lost my heart to one
of those lovely Stone girls. I saw her at
Yaughan's ; she bewitched me ; tier ad
mirers are legion. But yankee pluck is
bound to win, or I am never more.
VOUB JERRY.
What dismay the whole household was
iu from the receipt of the above, can be im
agined. We had made so mary romances
in regard to Jerry's futuro, 1a which some
one of our many feminine friends had al
ways taken a leading part, that it seemed
cruel to have them thus rudoly scattered
to the winds.
Miss Stone, you may be sure, was very
thoroughly disoussed that night, and it
was with heavy hearts that we made up
our minds to make the best of It, never for
a moment doubting that any girl living
could refuse the offer of .Jerry's heart and
hand.
In a few days after, we received a line
from him, saying : " Give me joy. She is
mine ; all my own. We leave by next
steamer from Havre."
How Blowly the days dragged on, and
when the time approached for the steamer's
arrival, how eagerly we read the ship news;
and at last, one beautiful spring day, we
heard of his arrival at New York, and the
next afternoon a carriage drove to our door;
out jumped Jerry, and for a few, minutes,
what with kissing and crying over him, we
forgot the other occupant of tho carriage.
But all at once I came to my senses, and
said, with a start :
"Where's Miss Stone, Jerry?" ,
A smilo came over his face, as he said,
carelessly : " Oh, I've had her expressed
through."
Would you believe that the "Stone"
girl we had been in such a worry about,
turned out to bo nothing more than a beau
tiful marble figure, cut by some great
sculptor? It was a long time before we
forgave him his practical joke, and now we
don't know whether to be cross or merry at
the mention of " Stone" girls. ,
"sa eln."
A Slight mslake.
A gentleman of unquestionable respecta
bility living on Franklin street went home
late at night. The moon was shining
brightly, after entering tho gate, and in ap
proaching the house, he was surprised to
see a figure of a man rise suddenly and
face him. The circumstance was well cal
culated to make any one tremble. Burglars
and robbers were in the city : it was rea
sonable to suppose this was one. But the
gentleman had always understood that in
such emergencies it was best to put on a
Bhow of courage, even if you didn't feel
any.
To this end he put hie hand in his pock
et and then withdrawing it, extended it
toward the supposed outlaw as tf he had a
pistol in it' and meant to shoot him. The
man did the same. Now the gentleman
was only nfaking believe he had a pistol,
for he had none ; but he was not certain
the intruder was equally deficient In fire
arms. On the contrary, he thought he was
armed, and the steely glitter of a pistol be
was sure was flashing before his eyes. His
bair bristled with horror and he cried out :
" Stop, you rascal ! don't shoot, don't
shoot!"
. But still the arm was' extended, and the
fear of death was heavy upon the gentle
man : He shouted murder, thieves,' and
robbors I
The cries of the frightened citizenarous-
ed his wifoy who came rushing to the door
terror-stricken, inquiring the cause of the
alarm.
" Why, that rascal is going to shoot me "
" What rascal, my dear?" inqnifed the
lady. ' ,' '
" There I don't you see him ?" pointing
to the still Bilent figure.
" Why, my dear, that's yout thadou!"
"What?"
"Your shadow 1"
" Blessed if it isn't ! I thought it was
man." i
"No, my dear, it is only the reflection of
a brute, and a very tight one at that."
And the salubrious citizen was eoiuluot'
ed to his couch.
1ST" A nicely dressed gentleman applied
for a marriage license at Dover,' Tenn.t
last week, but when he spoke the lady's
name the polite County Clerk suggested
that if it was the same to bim he would
prefer that he should name some other par
ty, as the one mentioned had become his
wife the previous evening.'
tW A Pittsburgh jury hr.nded up to the
judge a communication indorsed. "The
honorable gug."
Itceslde's Roof.
Recside's patent roof was a bad failure.
The shinglos leaked, and so he covered
them with concrete to the depth of three or
four inches. In winter time it was elegant;
but when the hot weather came, the stuff
ftened, and the neighbors used to stop to
look at the thousands of long block strings
of tar Which dripped from the eaves to the
ground. And early in the summer Reesido
and his wife began to be annoyed by the
animated discussions of cats in the neigh
borhood. The more he " shooed" them
and flung his boots at them, the more
fierce and awful weie their yells. Night
after night it continued to grow more ter
rific, and day after day Mr. Roeside observ
ed that the mysterious caterwauling con
tinued through the daylight.
At last, one moonlight night, the uproar
became so outrageous that Reesido arose
from his bed and determined to ascertain
precisely, the cause of tho disturbance. It
appeared to him that the noise came from
tho top of the house. He wont up to the
garret and put his head out of the trap
door. , There he found ono hundred and
ninety-six cats stuck fast knee-deep in the
conorcte. Some of them had been there
eleven days ; and whon they perceived
Reoside, the whole one hundred and ninety-six
doubled urj thoir spines, ru filed their
back bair, brandished their tails and gave
one wild, unearthly scream, which shocked
Roesido's nerves so much that he dropped
the trap-door, and fell down the ladder
upon the head of Mrs. Reeside who, cour
ageous and devoted woman that , she was,
was standing below dressed in a thing with
fr!!! On it and armed with a palm-leaf fan
and bed-slat, resolutely determining that
nothing should harm Horatio while she
was by.
Professional Amenities in Court.
Judicial proceedings in the remoter dis
tricts of the Union are sometimes charac
terized by an absence of conventionality
and an exuberant naivete that recall the
golden age. As, for instance, at Muston,
in North Carolina, where, not long since,
Judge Cloud thought it incumbont on him
to fine Wm. D. McGill for contempt of
court. ' Instead of flying into a passion,
and firing pistols and things as an ill-regulated
person might have done, Mr. McGill
calmly seated himself beside the perse
cuting court and cheerfully observed : "If
you were not an old man, I would pull your
nose, you black old scoundrel." The
Judge responded to this affable salutation
by ordering the Jovial William to jail for
sixty days. As he left the court-room in
custody of the sheriff, this irrepressible
prisoner again expressed his opinion of the
presiding dignitary in terms much more
precise than flattering. For this frosh ex
hibition of candor, "thirty days more in
jail, and an additional fine of $230 were
added to his sentence. Still Mr. McGill
preserved his temper, until on the way to
jail he passed his horse in charge of a ne
gro. Then he produced his revolver, re
quested the Sheriff to stand back, vaulted
gracefully into the saddlo, and rode gaily
out of town, leaving his complimonts for
the Judge, with the assurance that " he
would come back and pull old Cloud's
nose."
A Rich Story.
The following story is too good to be lost
and as it must have been told by a lawyer,
of course the profession will take no offence
at our reptodncing it. An old lady walked
into a lawyer's office lately, when the fol
lowing conversation took place:
Lady Squire, 1 called . to see if you
would like to take this boy and make a
lawyer of him: .
Lawyer The boy appears to be rather
young, madam; bow old is he ?
Lady Seven years,. sir.
Lawyer He is too young, decidedly too
young; have you no older boys ?
Laay on yes, 1 nave several, but we
have concluded to make fanners of the
others. I told the old man I thought this
little fellow would make a first rate lawyer,
so I oalled to see if you would take him.
Lawyer No, madam, he is too young
yet to commence the study of the pro
fession. But why do you think this boy
any better calculated for a lawyer than
your other sons? '
Lady Why, you see, he is just seven
years old to-day. Whon he was only 8 he'd
lie like all natur ; when he got to be six he
was saussy and impudent as any critter
could be, and new he'll steal everything he
can lay his bands on.
tW An illustration of. Irish simplicity
is afforded by the reply of a young candi
date fos the office of teacher. The exam
iner was endeavoring to elicit the candi
date's idea of the market value of labor
with reference to demand and supply jbut,
being battled, he put aqucstion In this
simple form: " If there are in your village
two shoemakers, with just sufficient em
ployment to enable them to live tolerably,
and no more, what would follow if a third
shoemaker set up in the same village?"
" What would follow, sir T' echoed the can
didate, " why, a fight, to be sure."
fW A newspaper man' died in New Or
leans recently, and an exchange says : "Iu
a personal altercation be killed the father
of Josle Mansfield once." We should think
" once" was enough to kill him.
JJ U IT PAY EE AD IN Q.
Anecdote of two Arabs.
Lamartine, the : French poet, relates the
following anecdote: "There was a horse
the name of which was spread far and near
in the tribe of Nagdoh; and a Bedouin of
another, by name Dahcr, desired extremely
to possess it. " In vain having offered for
it his camels and bis 'whole wealth, he hit
at length upon the following device, by "
which he hoped to gain the object of his
desire. He resolved to stain his face with
the juice of an herb, to clothe himself in
rags, and to tie his legs and neck together,
so as to appear like a lame beggar. So
equipped, ; he went to wait "for Naber, the
owner of the horse, who he knew was to
pans that way.
" When he saw Naber approaching on
his beautiful steed, he cried out in a weak
voioo, ' I am a poor" stranger : for three
days I have been unable to move from this
spot to Boek for food. I am dying ; , help
me, and Heaven will reward you 1" The
Bedouin kindly offered to take him upon
his horse and carry him home; but the
rogue replied, I cannot rise: I have no
strength left.' Naber, touched with his
distress, dismounted, led his horse to the
spot, and with great difficulty set the
seeming beggar on its back. ' No sooner
did Dahor feel himself in the saddle, than
he Bet spurs to the horso and galloped off,
calling out as lie did so, ' It is I, Daher t
I have got the horse, and am off with
himl'
" Naber called after him to stop and
liston. Certain of not being pursued, ho
turned, and halted at a short distance from.
Naber, who was armed with a spear, 'You
have taken my horse,' said tho latter.
1 Since heaven has willed it, I wish you
joy of it; but I do conjure you never to
tell any man how you obtained it,' " And
why not I" said Daher. " Because," said
the noblo Arab, 'another man might be
really ill, and men would fear to help him.
You would be the cause of many refusing
to perform an act of charity for fear of
being duped as I have been.'
" Daher, struck with shame at these
words, was silent for a moment, then,
springing from the horse, returned it to
its owner, and embraced him. Naber made
him accompany him to his tent, where they
spent a few days together, and became fast
frionds for life."
Luther and Melnncthon.
On a certain occasion a messenger was
sent to Luther to inform him that Melanc
thon was dying. He at once hastened to
his sick bed, and found him presenting
several signs of the nearness of death. ' He
mournfully bent over him ; and, sobbing,
gave utterance to a sorrowful exclamation.
This roused Mclancthon from his stupor ;
be looked into the face of Luther, and
said, "O, Luther, is it you? Why don't
you lot me depart in peace?" " We can-"
not spare you yet, Philip," was thS reply.
Turning round, he fell upon his knees, and
wrestled with God for his friend's recovery
for upwards of an hour; he then went from
his knees to the bed, and took him by the
hand. Again Melanothon said, ' " Dear
Luther, why don't you let ' me depart in
peace?" "No, no, Philip, we cannot
spare you yet from the field of labor," was
again the reply. Luthtyr then ordered
some soup, and when Melancthon declined
to take it, saying, " Dear Luther, why will
you not let me go home and be at rest ?"
"We cannot spare you yet, Philip," was
still the reply.. He then addod, "Philip,
take this soup, or I will excommunicate
you," The sick man took the soup, soon
commebced to grow better, regained his
wonted health, and labored for years after
wards in the cause of the Reformation.
When Lnther returned home, he said to
his wife, with abounding joy, " God gave
me my brother Melancthon back in direct
answer to prayor."
"That's Me." '
A poor Hottentot in Southern Africa
lived with a good Dutchman, who kept Up
family prayer daily. One day be read,
"Two men went up into the temple to
pray." The poor savage, whose heart
was already awakened, looked earnestly
at the reader, and whispered, "Now I'll
learn how to pray." The Dutchman read
on, " God, I thank Thee that I am not as
other men." " No, I am not, but I am
worse," whispered the Hottentot. Again
the Dutchman read, " I fast twice iu the
week, I give tithes of all that I possess."
41 1 don't do that I don't pray in that
manner. What shall 1 do?" said the dis
tressed savage.' The good man read on
until he came to the publican " standing
afar off." " That's where I am," said the
nottentot. " Would not lift up so much
as his eyes unto heaven," read the other.
"That's me," cried his hearer. ""'But
smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me sinner I" " That's me ;
that's my prayer '." cried the poor crea
ture, and, smiting on his dark breast, he
prayed, " God be merciful to me sinner!"
until, like the poor publican, he wentdown
to his house a saved and happy man. '
