be obtained at your Drug or Periodical Stores.
If they cannot, send to us for the DENTAL

Now are Dr. Hurd's Preparations Good?
The best evidence that they are is, that their
firmest friends and best patrons are those who
have used them longest. Dr. William B.
Hurd is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn,
Treasurer of the New York State Dentists' '
Association, and these preparations have
been used in his private practice for years,
and no leading citizen of Brooklyn or Wit
liamehurg, questions their excellence, while
eminent Dentists of New York recommend
them as the best known to the profession.—
Without the aid of advertising, dealers have
sold them by the gross.
The Editor of the Brooklyn Daily Times
sal s:—" We are happy to know that our friend
Dr. Hurd, le succeeding beyond all expects-
Hone with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Pow
der. The great secret of his success rests
with the fact that his articles are precisely
what they are represented to be, as we can
testify from their long use."
The Well known e. T. Barnum writes:—
"I found your Tooth Powder so good that my
family have used it all up. We find it the
best Powder for the Teeth that we ever used.
I shall Mel obliged if you wilt send me another
supply at the Museum at your convenience,
with bill.".
But their cost is so small that every one
may test the matter for himself.
13 - Beware of the ordinary Tooth Powders.
Dr. Hurd's Tooth Powder contains no acid,
nor alkali, nor charcoal, and polishes without
wearing the enamel. Use no other.
What will Dr. Hurd's Remedies Elect?
Dr. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder
will give young ladies that finest charm in
woman—a sweet breath and pearly teeth.—
Try them ladies.
Dr. third's Mouth Wash and Tooth Pow
der will cleanse the mouth from all foul ex
halations, and if used in the morning, will
make the breakfast taste sweeter and the day
begin more pleasantly. Hundreds of persons
can testify to this. Try them, gentlemen.
Dr. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Pow
der are the best preparations in the world for
curing bad Breath and giving firmness and
health to the gums. Hundreds of cases of
Diseased Bleeding Gums, Sore Mouth, Canker,
etc., have been cured by Dr. Hurd's astringent
wash.
Dr. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Pow
der give an additional charm to courtship, and
make husbands more agreeable to their wives
and wives to their husbands. They should
be used by every person having
ARTIFICIAL TEETH,
which are liable to impart a taint to the mouth.
Dr. Hurd's TOOTHACHE DROPS cure
Toothache arising from exposed nerves, and
are the best friends that parents can have in
the house to save their children from torture
and themselves from loss of sleep and sympa
thetic suffering.
Farmers and Mechanics! you cannot well
afford to. neglect your teeth. For a trifling
tum, you can now get preservatives, than
which Rothschild or Astor can get nothing
better. Remember that DYSPEPSIA. and
CONSUMPTION OF TILE LUNGS often
originate in Neglect of Teeth. Send for the
Treatise on Teeth, and read Dr. Fitch's ob
servations on this subject. If too late to
arrest decay in your own teeth, save your
children's teeth.
Neuralgia Plasters.
Dr. Hurd's Neuralgia Non-Adhesive Plas
ters are the most pleasant and successful reme
dies ever prescribed for this painful disease.
The patient applies onoiseen becomes drowsy,
falls asleep, and awakes free from pain, and
no blister or other unpleasaht or injurious
consequences ensue. For Earache and Nerv-
Oils Headache, apply according to directions,
and relief will surely follow. Nothing can be

Neuralgia. Try them. They are entirely a

What are the People Doing '1
The American people are intelligent enough
to appreciate preparations that contribute so
{ouch to the happiness of those using them,
and they want them. Every mail brings us
letters, some ordering the Treatise on Teeth,
some the Neurelgio Plaster, and not a few

LADIES WAWA%
There is a strange deformity
Combined with countless graces,
As often in the ladies' names
As in the ladies' faces.
Some names are fit for every age,
Some fit for ohly youth;
Some passing sweet and musical,
Some horribly uncouth ;
Some lit for dames of loftiest grades,
Some only fit fur scullery maids.
Ann is tuo plain and common,
And Nancy sounds but ill,
Yet Anna is endurable,
And Annie is better still.
There is a grace in Charlotte,
In Eleanor a state,
Au elegance in Isabella,
A hautiness in Kate ;
And Sarah is sedate and neat,
And Ellen is innocent and sweet
Matilda has a sickly sound,
Fit for nurses' trade.
Sophia is effeminate,
And Esther staid and sage,
Elizabeth is a matchless name,
Fit for a queen to wear,
In castle, cottage, hut or ball,
A name beyond compare ;
And Bess and Bossy follow well,
But Betsey is detestable.
Maria is too forward,
And Gertrude is too gruff,
Yet, coupled with a pretty face,
is pretty name enough.
Adelaide is fanciful,
And Laura is too fine,
But Emma is beautiful,
And Mary is devise.
Maude only suits a high-born dame,
And Fanny is a baby name.
Eliza is not very choice,
Jane is too blunt and bold,
And Martha somewhat sorrowful,
"And Lucy proud and cold;
Amelia is too light and gay,
Fit only for a flirt.
Caroline is vain and shy,
And Flora smart and pert.
Louisa is too soft and sleek,
But A:ice gentle, chaste and meek ;
Harriet is confiding,
And Clara grave and mild,
And Emma is affectionate,
And Janet arch and wild ; .
Patience is expressive,
And Grace is old and rare,
And Catharine warm and dutiful,
And Margaret frank and fair,
And Faith, Hope and Charity
Are heavenly names-for sisters three.
WOMEN FOR ARMY .I".I7RSES.—An Illi
nois surgeon now at Pittsburg Landing
writes :
"The duties required of an effective
nurse are not the administering a spoon
ful of wise nor bathing, an officers tem
ples with a sponge. These requires no
sacrifices of feeling. Not attending
upon a colonel or major in a state room
but combing matted hair, washing dirty
faces, hands and feet, binding putrid
wounds, and numbers of things which
cannot be described. The lady who
cannot, with a smiling face, roil up her
sleeves, go on her knees amongst the
black boilers and wet straw to wait upon
an unfortunate private soldier, repulsive
in his manors and words, is here sadly
out of her proper sphere. It is a noble
sight to witness one who bears the im
press of nature's nobility in every move
ment and every expression, a highly
educated lady, accustomed to every in
dulgence that wealth can furnish, thus
employed, with disordered hair, hoops
less, in a solid calico dress, bespattered
with blood, coal smut and grease, for
getful of every feeling but the one of
seeking and helping the most wretched
and neglected. God has blessed my
eyes with the sight of such a one. The
name of the noble minded lady shall not
soon be forgotten. Send us ladies of
this calibre or send us negro servants.
Beg of the dainty miss, in humanity's
name, to remain at home until parade
days, when we shall all be glad to see
her, Keep idle gentlemen at home
also."

Dollar a Year
The Conduct of Our Soldiers
While the army of the Union now in
the field is unquestionably one of the
most brave and gallant armies that
the world has over seen, we may also
with safety affirm that it is an army
of then who have personal pride and the
spirit and conduct of gentlemen. Ex
ceptions may indeed be pointed out
here and there, and we have from time
to time evidence of gross violations on
the part of our men of the rules of right
and wrong, aside from military disci
pline. But these exceptions form no
sufficient number to change the general
truth that the army is an army of self
re'specting men, and that wherever they
go they will prove the truth to this
character given them.
We recur to an illustration of this,
which it was impossible to publish at
the time of its occurrence, two mouths
ago, in consequence of the regulation
forbidding any public allusion to the
army movements across the Potomac
at Washington. A party of ladies and
gentlemen had visited Manassas, and re
turning to Alexandria too late for the
last boat, were brought by rail to the
Virginia end of the Long Bridge. It
was the intention of Col. APO:ilium, the
able railway chief, to cross the bridge
with the car, but the head of a division
of the army was just coming off from
the bridge, and it was necessary to wait
its passage. The long bridge has a
narrow carriage track at the side of the
rail track, the latter being laid as usual
on cross ties. Hour after &nu' passed
and the division poured on, an endless
train of regiments and wagons. At
nearly nine o'clock it was said the entire
body would not be across till midnight,
and thereupon two ladies, accompanied.
by gentlemen, started to cross the bridge
on foot. A large wagon, overturned on.
the road, had stopped the progress of
the column, and the small party, taking
the rail track, proceed on foot ,to Wash
ington. . .„ . •
For the entire distance,. More than a
mile, the bridge . was crowded with sol
diers, most of whom had thrown them
selves down' on the ties for a short sleep
during the delay. The two ladies were
at first somewhat'alarmed at . the pros
pect, but in a few moments the cheerful
shouts of the men showed them that
they had nothing to fear in . the ranks of
an American volunteer army, and that
every man was their natural and sworn
defender. "Make way for 'the ladies,"
Was the cry as they advanced. "Litdhis,
God bless them, yes," was the answer a
hundred times- repeated. , A thousand
cherry salutations, were exchanged, all
in the most chivalric, style. It seemed
at times an absolute delight to the men
to be roused up from their brief rest 'to
do a graceful act of politeness to two
ladies who had trusted themselves to
their good conduct. But one solitary
growl was heard, and that from a poor
, fellow (not an American) who was sound
asleep on the track, wearied, doubtless,
and needing - his rest, and who, not half
awake, said, in reply to shouts and per
haps a kick from a comrade, "Damn the
ladies," whereupon rose around him a
small tempest of confusion, and cries of
" put him out," "throw him overboard,"
and the like, which thoroughly woke
him as good-natured and polite as all
the others. The scene was picturesque
enough.
The night was cloudy and intensely
dark. The bridge was througed with
an impetuous army advancing for- the
first time to the soil of Virginia, and to
the battle field on which they have since
then fought so gloriously. But every
man was an American gentleman, or if
he was a foreigner was like his comrades
in self-respect and calm, quiet demeanor.
They look and behave like men who had
a work to do and were going to do it,
carrying with them the memories and
the habits of home just as closely as if
the work was in a home corn field or a
factory. Not a few spoke of home—
gaily telling the ladies that their pres
ence made them think of those they left
behind them. But every phrase was
respectful, as gentlemen would speak to
ladies in any other place, the only differ
ence being in the' freedom "to speak at
all, which the scene and the circumstan
ces gave them.
We say without hesitation that in any
other army in the world it would have
been impossible, without a strong escort
and high protectiop, for two ladies,_ t at;
tended only by two gentlemen and a
guide, in a-dark night to cross a bridge
of more than a mile in length, crowded
with thousands of soldier's eager for
battle, and this without insult,—.lllnok
NO. 46.
less would' it be possible for them to
cross as did these ladies, with the con
stant exchange of cheerful salutations,
and an impression after reaching the
end of the bridge that they had been
walking for a half hour through an army
of gentlemen. It may be that Ameri
can readers will not fully appreciate the
force of this illustration, but those who
have seen armies of British, French,
Austrian, Italian, Russian or Mexican
soldiers will understand the high proof
this little incident gives to the character
of the army.
Fast Life and Swift Decay
'THE'ONLY COUNTERCHECE.—The times
in which we live teem with wonders.
Nothing seems impossible ; for the im
possibillities of one year become the
commonplace events of the next. Light
ning presses, instantaneous communica
tion between the most distant points,
and innumerable inventions for compres
sing vast amounts of business into small .
spaces of time, and for curtailing the pro
cesses of production and manufacture,
are:among the marvels of ibis marvellous
era. Under such circumstances we may
truly be said to live la "fast life." But
whether the whirl and rush by which we
are borne along - is really conducive to
our happiness is another question.
Certain it is that the average duration
of human life is decreasing in the midst
'of this excitement : The . niodern phases
of disease seem to puzzle and baffle the
faculty, and with two remarkable excep
tions, viz. Holloway's Pills and Hollo
way's Ointment, no medicines appear to
make the desired impression upon inter
nal or external disorders. These two
celebrated remedies are said, however,
to be accomplishing the most wonderful
cores throughout the length and breadth
of our land.. Liver. complaint and dis
eases of the stomach and bowls, which in
'a majority of cases are Prothicedby over
exertkin and over-excitement in,business ,
yield to the Pills when all the resources.
to other druggist and apothecary have;
failed, and eruptive and scrofulous com
plaints seem to beequally under the con
trol of the ointment'. We congratulate
Doctor Holloway on the signal success:
of his great medicines in this country.
From what we know of the man, we have
no doubt that the profits derived from
that success will afford him far less sat
isfaction than the knowledge of the good
his remedies have elrected.—,i.

ELOPEMENT—A STRANGE CASE.—Three
years ago, Mr. q. T. Peterson," a mer
chant of Minerva, Stark county, Ohio,
took into his family, as temporary board
ers, W. W. Dennis and Wire, from the
Western Reserve. Dennis was a shoe
maker; 'and his wife a milliner. In a
few months they quit hoarding and went
to house-keeping, when the frequent
visits of Peterson revealed an improper
intimacy with Mrs. Dennis. The inti
macy increased until recently, when thq
scandal was upon many tongues, and
Peterson was finally forced to leave
the place. He was soon followed by
Dennis and his wife, who joined him at
Cleveland, from whence they moved to
Decatur, Mangan. Dennis, who seem
ed to be quite satisfied with this triple
arrangement, was not so agreeable to
the other two, who soon played him the
slip, while he was absent on business.—
Dennis became almost frantic, and after
the most diligent search traced the
parties to St. Louis, which place they
had left for California. Soon after
Peterson's departure from Minerva, Mrs.
Peterson applied for a divorce, alimony
and change of name, all of which were
granted. And then, as though her cup
of sorrow were not complete, her little
boy, "Willie," her only remaining earth
ly comfort ,11(3' solace, was drowned on
the 17th inst., leaving her a desolate
woman indeed.

of ,=umm:lr. Two ferias were setting in
close proximity fa,* another by the
window of a twelvii thousand. dollar
h e EEO—heavily mortgaged--in . ,,the upper
pull: of this city. The hand of the one
rested lovingly on that of the other, and
the arm of one described a semicircle
round the other's waist. It is hardly
necessary to say that they were lovers,
and that was as far as the young man
could go in geometry. There was no
light in the room, but there was no oc
casion for any, with her -taper waist and
sparkling eyes and his flaming words.—
This is a melte of their small talk.
" Dearest Flora, tell, oh tell me what
I can do to make myself more worthy of
your love. Bid me undertake aoy mis
sion you please, and 1 will obey. Aye,
even though it be—to cut my Lair short
—sacrifice my moustache—wear large
boots, or.work for my living—speak, any
thing you command me."
" 0 Charlie! calm yourself. Do not
speak in this terrible strain ; you make
- me shudder. No, Charles, I love you
for yourself .alone." Then placing her
hand gently upon his brow, she mur
mured, 'soft, my love, speak soft, my
own, and tell me do you love me as much
as ever, and will I ever be the same to
you as I am now ?" •
" Hear me swear I" cried the ardent
youth, dropping, upon his knees for the
first time in his life, but Suddenly rising
with a troubled expression of counte

days before the tiMe appointed flsr the
nuptial Ceremonies of the yOung pair.
Charles bent his way, full of jay; hope
and supper, to the maribiorr 'Of his be

and after waiting' ale'w . 'moMents c hez
solved to
,deSead flip stairs to the
dining-room, ooenSihly to seek for her,
but'mOst probably with visions of spoons
dancing through,llls . ever,teeming brain.
With stealthy slePs t .linappyoached the
door and suddenly opened it, when
there burst
. upon his:astonished gaze a
sight which trozii, tI e . iilood within his
veins.
Upon the diaing,room table lay many
dishek and other artieles of crockery.
Before it, with dishevelled hair and
tucked-up gown, stood Flora, a hugo
carving -knife iu her hktud, which she was
in the actof plunging—into:a pan Pf
hot water.
She bad been caught in tile act of doing
housework: . With one loud, skriek she
fell to the floor, while her distracted and
bewildered lover rushed Irons the house.
It is needless to add that the engage
ment, along, with Revere! brittle ,oups,
was broken on the spot. Thus were
two fond and doting hearts irrevocably
separated!
If
my story, dear reader, will be the
means of persuading one young woinau
never, under any circumstances, to, do
any work about the 'house, but always
to let her mother and the other servants
do it, my object is more' than accom

"FArrartm FouNn."—llistorians
have recorded the fact that in the Great
Insurrection of 1861-2, throughout the
Seceding States, the oppressed Oefored
people(bound and free) were the truest i ,
best, most self-sacritlcing, most service
able friends of the Union. Their wel
come to the Union soldiers was hearty
cheering and they did what they could of
their little means—to make them
com
fortable. Ifany of them risked life itself
in our behalf and wo recollect no- traitors
among them, the' some were misled, by
ignorance or compulsion. A volume
would hardly contain a fair record of all
their services. They have brodght 'us
the most valuable information, too. Are
not such men deserving "life, liberty,
and. the pursuit of happiness ?"
history be - believed when it sayi that
we lad enough Tory-spirited beings in
the Union ranks to reject the act of such
men, treat them with contempt, refuels
to protect them, and even allow and
aid their being delivered back to Rebel
or etheimasteer ?
