They are the result of years of careful study and practical ex periment, and are the most effectual rem edy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. Ayek's Pills are specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimi lative processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use by physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Be'ng compounded of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable eulwtances, they are positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can be admin istered to children with perfect safety. Aier's Pills are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin IMseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout, Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. While gentle in their action, these Pills are the most thorough and searching cathar tic that can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is healing. They stimu late the appetite and digestive organs; they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

A low brown farm houae, whim rout covers long rambling balls connect ing rooniN, though few in umber, yet ample iu deinension ; ami what caa he mete delightful than thf large com uiu.li.niH bleeping room of a country borne. Add o thiw the bounty of a aum mor ovm iu the natural noenery tb.t lunonmti thn home uf Mra. MmihIi, mM y.ni h .v the o oaing acvuu in the story 1 .iu aliuut t rla4i. Hhe had juat re IstftMal from tin vilUg, a mile Ubttant, and WHM talking very nrmitlyto her (Uuffbter. "Von aeo Mra. Wtlbomie promi.'nd to take them, and now that they are all eick it ia inKMUuble, and aa they ex pect to be here fburaday it will be a groat favor for ua to take thetn, I told her 1 would aee you, and decide thia evening. " "The arty iu queatton waa a Mrs. f eraaqee, weultby city lly with to cliildren, who wtahing to spend a few weeka iu the country, bad engag ed board at Mrs. Mtllere, a near neigh her of Mra. Marab." "Well 1 aupioae we may as well take them," "Hattie reapouded, "but how 1 do hate those fasbionablo wo man, and the iearly teeth came to gether by way of emphasis. "I gueas we had beat take them, H.ttie," end kindbearteil Mra. Marab, hurried aw.y to aend a mewteneger. And now tb.t the problem bad beet, (solved ll.ttie Marah turned a new leaf and continued reading. Sbo wa not a beaoty,lbiagtrl to whom aummer with tta roay aplen dor and autumn with ita gilded leavre had come jimt uiuetcen timea v t tbcre woa Homelbing attractive abvut her. la summing up the pointa of real beauty, you would diecord every fea ture until you came to the mouth and chin ; lipe cloaing over iowm uf teeth that Uirly rivalled the old time a?arla. Kor aome reaaon the atory ebe wm reading lost tta charm, aud the thought of the coiniog viutura would crowd tbemaelve. in, until at laat growing impatient abe laid aside her book, and gave heraclf up to her weyeraid fancy wondering vaguely how Mra. Iarneque would aui, wbetbei ahe would be pleasant or not, and a thouaand oi h. r 4uealions came aurging up until ahe Onally wiabed .he had never beard of the individual. Kor Hattie Marab waa an only child, and the widowed mother had rha given her her own way a little too much ; but un.b r neath the itnattent worda beat a true wumana heart, and it needed only the opportunity to prove it. In all her life ahe bad t4n, a bright, hpy, joyouM, gitl. Whet if ahe bail noH read uve her bouku, early aud late, abealwa)a aed a r litnll xhui inatiou in h-r atudiee, and th.u hat voice waa alwaya the tirat in proHMing a picnic, and it waa alw.ya Hattie Marah 'a laugh that rang ao clear and loud, aa the day wore away. She bad netfJ mingbd with the inhabitants of the city, indeed ahe had been there bttt once, and that had been several yeaia before, so ahe dreaded meeting Mia. i.irneque. Hut now that it waa decided, ibe went to work, with a will, planning and managing unlit the old home looked very comfortable, to aey the leaat, and when en the evening before the at rival ahe bad taken a last aurvey of all the rooma, from the kitch en with its rooms of shinning tinware to the quiet aitting room, with ita old faahioned li replace filled with evergreen, ahe breathed a high of relief. "Well I have done the beit I could, mother," ahe aaid, turning to the kind faced woman, to whom ahe waa all. "Indeed you have aueceeded in making the old home look very pleaa ant, Hattie, 1 only hope we will be able to entertain aur visitor." "Ob, never fear, mother, 1 am only thankful ahe did not deem it neceeeary to bring bar huaband, brother or coue in with her, and now I must go for a walk." The next moruing dawned bright and beautiful, and at last the rumbling of wheela announced the coming ar rivala. Hattie, in her plain morning dreaa of aimple lawn, looked very pretty, ho her mother thought, aa ahe went down to meet them. To ber dis may who ahould band the lady out of ihu curriuge but a tnll, dark faced man, of perhaps twenty eight, whom tabu Mra. L'lriieque introduced as ber broth er, whom ehe hud imitated on biiuging with her f a a few day vacation. 11 covetiug from her surprise Hattie led the way up to the house and Men. Marah aoon made them p.)rfoctty at home. While Hattie with perplexed face was holding consultation with the girl that helped about the hoousework, "There ia no other way Either that I can aee, but to give him my room. 1 cant see why he had to come." Dut there was no time for delay, so she hastened away to arrange the room, and a tew minute t later Henry Floyd stood surveying the room and its con tents, I am afraid with rather a critic's eye. The result was satisfactory, in a degree, for be gave a long, low whistle and then slowly mused. Ho she has given me her room has she. Well it looks like her ; what a look she give me thin morning It was bad, my coming with, out a woid of warning, lint. I am here now, so we bad best be friends." And later when seated at the pleasant ton table, over which Hattie presided he inwH.idly resolved that it would be no fault of his if tbey were not very warm friends. Mrs. Larneque proved a very pleasant boarder. Hhe was one of these bright, happy dispositioned wournn, who are sIwhvs agreeable so long as there is no exertion necenaary. Cumequently she was invariably agreeable, Henry Floyd would-always be the fisrt to propose a drive or picnic. In time Hattie's reserve wore away aad in less than two weeks after their arrival they were good friends. He bad that enviable power of drawing people out, and often times in conversation Hattie would be surprised to find heraclf deeply interested in sub jecta ahe had rarely thought of ; she aaid so much to hltn one day. Ilia re ply was, "It is a lawyers bus'neis, you know, and as 1 am inxeiMttienced I find myaelf constantly trying my (tow er. " Ho the days went by and Henry at length announced bis return to the eity on the week following. He had gone down to the village to nml some letUt-h, and Mrs. lairueqtiv waa chat ting away to Hattie and her mother in the aummer aitting room, everything nee mini ao joyous that morning, thought Hattie, aad abe had neca.ion to remem ber afterwards the vmy song of the yellow canary that eeeinod in danger of ita threat, M Yea," continue 1 the voluble lady, He try was always tooaideieda fearful rilirt, aud I used to think myself be would never many until ibis last season when he met lama I, ... 1 don't think they are engaged; but in all probability there will be a wedding in the early autumn. Hbe ia very pretty, and accomplished too; besides abe will upon her marriage come tuto a hand some estate. Well I am glad he baa done ao well," Unbilled the little lady, but there ho cornea now, and in her eagerness to aend the letter, .be did not notice Hattie leaving tbe room. It took but a moment for ber to anatch a I at from the rack and fly down to ber ( 1 1 retreat, a shaded start near tbe little creek that flowed through tbe Marah farm. "What ia it to me," .he thought, with burning cheek., "that be ia to marry a wealthy lad);" but abe well knew what it meant to ber now, al though it bad never been revealed to her before. Hbe had never known be fore why the days wtro so abort, why the summer had beeit o glorioua, .he knew now, it waa the old, old atory. Iart they who will, morn lis truth, far be it from me to doubt the existence in every human '. life of that auntie magic power which we term love. It cornea to all aooner or later, and be the choaeu one rich or poor, it will glorify the vary air be breathra. Hattie Mmsh, at nineteen had never known iu )iower before, i .tandiug there on that aummer day .he alowly but aurely awakened to tbe reality , In tb.t brief hour .be croaapd the tin alight and (whsmI from giillex-l ini.i a woman; abe knew now that the areh-a day. were forever gOui and data lb- of usefulnrH, if not haajisMM, lay kefees ber. And el hhe could not appnmeb him, be hol avtfff t-en other than a kind friend t h-i, oud p-rhape it wa ber imagination i h Imi her to lieliee I be cared for ber. Welt ahe knew now the tru'h. and would act according ly; so when Uter ahe returned ami Hnuy aaked her to aiug it wa in the aa me kind manlier she complied with the requeat, but it did mt - - - -1 worda to tell htm that there waa a barrier be tween them, and ia the few teuiaiuing day. the distance only widened. There were no explanation.; it would have been better if theie had been, for when he would resolve to ask a reaaon for ber habitual reaervi , .be would be sure to treat him with tbe utmoat kindnesa and be could frame no ex cuse f ir a reproach . When filially tbe last day came Hattie with smiling face wished him a pleaaant return. May I wtite to you, Hattie," he said at he waa having. It is hardly neceaaary, I ahall bear o( yoni safe return through your aiater," waa her reply, and the calm face did not betray the faat beating heart. "No it waa best," she said later, "I waa foolish. I will profit by tbe experience of the past weeka." And so be went away. Tbe weeks following were buay out a and when at length Mrs. I a root tie fotir.d ahe had overreached her intended return, Hat tie was not sorry. "It would seem good" ahe aaid, "to be alone once again." Hbe did not admit even to herself that she would be glad when the time oeme come when ahe would never bear Mary Floyd'a name mentioned. His aiater beard from him frequently, and aave his kind regards to the family her name was never mentioned. At last the day came and they found themselves ones more alone, and a week later life at the farm lud dropped back iuto the old channel, Hattie had detertniued to study through the tutor; ahe had told Mi. L o ne i -, one day iu the preaeitco of Mr. Fiovd, a id so one d.ty iu the autumn, ahe received a full aet f all the books tdie hail wanted, there Waa only a cavil haying he hoped they would prove interesting, and Hattie thought, "he, ia sorry ho me to think I have none of Um advantages of Miss I. te, and it is for nnr sake he sends them." Ho she wrote u few words of thanks iu reply, and promised herself improvement. Mrs. Marah had been troubled with the heart-dine tae all her life and it htvl couiu back to her now that tbe winter was coming. In vain they employed the beat treatment, the old physician shook hit head, aud .niid it was only a question of lime, and Hattie wat'hed with loving devotion the face that for her had only looks ot kindness. It is bard to lose our loved ones; yet it is still harder to know that at any moment they may lie called, and it seemed to Hattie Marsh that she never needed a brothers love to mush as she did now. Yet when the day of trial c.trae she met it bravely. Death came entirely peacefully, to her who waited for iu approach, and Hattie felt as she returne I to her disconsolate home that if there was a tVnre bet mother was certainly happy. It was very dreary at first, very lonely, in the house where she had ever heard a mother's voice. She was sitting before th fire, whose flickering light added new beauty to the fine face, thinking of all the changes a few mouths hid brought her. It was New Years Kve. Ot all days how much we dr.nl, and yet long tor its approach. It seem a mystical bond between the paat and future. Hbe had forgotten every thing, and was living once more the happy summer days, when Esther came in to say there was a gentleman wishing to see her. e mo rat Thinking it some ono from the rillsgn she told hi r t j bring him ir, ami scarcely had .(sjken the worda when a familiar voice said. "Will von uot welcome roe, Miss Marah, after having come through such a storm," and the eager voice and outstretched hands told her how glad Henry Floyd was to meet her. "I amfglatl to are you," she replied. 4 Hattie ia it only that, I havn come for a d iH'en-nt an iwer. Leal snmmer yon hi nt ute awav, murt I go again, 1 thought 1 would learn to forget, hut it is useless I dad not heard ot your bereavement m.til I came through the village.

Oh, mv da bug, I have waited to i loni to be i iMir.l " C I I wm-mm And hi. strong am g I ab nit bet Hattie felt if her moth : were than, she would he 'gl.d for her child. Did alio in her fr home know; lot us bojio aoat leaat, and ao with the light .ml warmth of achiw rfu' fiie i-bout them and the glory of love resting on their facea, let ua bid our friends "adieu."

"Why did you h(k11 my name wrong in tho programe?" groaned the local talent. "Take a look at that manuscript f yours and see for yourself," said tho editor with a grim smile. The rest of the company yelled their complaints in unison, and tho editor calmly sorted out a series of bills for unpaid subscriptions and presented each with one, ami it was so tiat when they received them, they all tore their hair and rushed violently down a steep place to the sea, and St. Peter, taking the editor calmly by the hand, led him within the gate and aaid. "Come'frlend; these chaps man aged to slip through here in spite of us, but thanks to the press, we know what 8 )rt of fellows they are. Come In and stay; we need a few such iuju as you in here. Subscribe for the Democrat. NO IS. Aornm os ONtl LL Anecdote, of the great agitator are plentiful, but hern 1. one that I have never seen in print, and certainly as good as the beat. I bave Jt from a gentleman who has enjoyed tbe privilege of close friendly intercourse with a near relative of O'ConnelPs, and who Is the happy (Nstseeaor of several of the great man', manu scripts. O'Conncll was possessed of a (tower of interpenetratlon that amounted almost to miud-reading. His in sUht Into character, and his read, ing of phy-iogiiomy were wonderful. i no snowing instance Is a remark able example of this : On a certain occasion he was en gged by mi heirat-law to run tod the validity of a will which had boon unexpectedly brought forward as tbe lust will and testament of tho de ceased, and declared to have been by htm made on the very day of hi. death. The ccn'es snt wus nephew of the testator, and lies rest relative, ami a very few hours before his uncle died, he (the uncle) had told him that he was bis Note heir. But the iXMsessors of the now will swore roundly, and the cases seemed dubious for tho nephew. In tho course of the trial a witness for the defence of the late will was called, who swore positively that lie saw the testator's hand upon tbe paper, with the pen in his flngi n, and that the will was then signed. O'Gonnell watched this man nar rowly. He was a very proper man in appearance ; solemn and sedate ; with an outward show of pfoty. There was something in his tesii rmny not ratural. The matt was not telling truly what he hail seen. At length O'Connell . took him in hand for examination. "Witness ! you were in the room, and saw that will signed T "Yea, sir." "You saw the testator, himoelf, write his name V "Yes, sir I saw him write on the (taper n the spot where his name is now." "And he was alive at the time ?" "There was life in htm certainly sir life and sense." This was the point which O'Con nell had before marked : "There was life in him !" And furthermore ! be observed a peculiar twitching of the witness's lips, a puckering of the mouth that could only have been tbe result of some bit of remem brance which caused him thus to pucker bis mouth involuntarily. "George Henry McOrath, calling him by bis full name, "you know that tbe testator signed that will ?" "Yea, sir." "Did he have assistance I'Yiw air X man Itolt hi.. ItAnrt to steady It, for he was very weak.'' "Yet he was alive ete had life and sense, sir." . . . ....... .. . . g .... At this juncture O'Connell strode forward and looked straight into tbe man's face with one of those ex pressions which never failed to terrify tbe guilty ; and when he spoke his voice was like a crack of doom. "McCirath ! Look me in the eye ! Do you suppose I cannot look into your craven heart and see the base subterfuge you harbor there V Then grasping tbe man's arm, and sinking his voice to the tone of tbe nepulchre, he went on, speaking louder as he proceeded : "You say the testator had life left in him. Now, air on your oath what was it that had been put into - - - m I his mouth ! Was it a living fly ? Answer me !" The poor wretch shook liko an aspen ; and thesattorney for the de fendant had started forward to save he day, but O'Connell was on his guard. "Answer me !" And a convulsivo "yes" burst from the pale lips of the frightened man. Ho was not proof against the electric power of the legal giant. Of course that closed the trial ; and we will only add, in conclusion, that while Daniel was able to appear in court the man who would appear against him must hive Truth aud Iliglu on his side. If he had not no amount of testifying aud swearing could avail agaisnt tho wonderful intorpentratiou and cunning craft of this intii of tho people.

These remarks of Horatio 8eymisr are full of wisdom, ''Wo may not only think in words but we must all try tousothe ts-st words, and th- which in speech put what is in our minds into the minds of others. This Is tbe great art which those must gain whs wish to teach in the school, the church, at the bar, or through the press.

Now and then some long word are four d. and (!: alwagshurt tba verses in which tin y find tnem. Take that which ss: 40 ye generation of vipers, who . ,i n warned you to flee from the wrath lo eoroe? There is oe long wrd which ought not to be iu it namely 'generation.' In the old version the Id word brood' is used. Read the verse again with this term, and you will feel Its full force: ye viper's brood, who hath warm d ye t flee from tbe wrath to come? Crime sometimes does not look like crime when it is set before us in the many folds of a long word. When a man steals, and we 'call it a 'defalcation,' we are at o - to know if it ia a blnn deroracrime. If he does not tell tbe truth, and we are told that h is a case of 'prevarication, ' it takes us sometime to know just what we shtajkl think of it. No man will ever cheat himself into wrong-doing, nor will he be at a loss to judge of others, if be thinks and speaks of aci ni clear, crisp terms. It is a good rule, if one is at :t loss to know if an act is right or wrong, to write it down in short, straight-out Kng lish." rlfc Amrrtt-aM Bt-w.

Dr. Hammond suu that when you poke the end of your Gnger iu your ear tbe roai ing noise you hear is the sound of the circulation in your tinger, which is a fact, as any one can demonstrate for hiuiaelfbw first putting his fingers in bis ears and then stopping them up with other sujstance. Try it and tHnk what a wonder of a machine your bo ly is, tbat even the points of your lingers are such busy workshops that they roai like a small Niagara. The roaring is probably more than the noiae of the circulation of the blood. It is the voice of all the vital processes together the tearing down and build ing up processes that are always goin forward in every living body, from conception to ieath.
