A CARD. To PiMithrrt: Relative to statement from Chronicle I'lihlishins I'ompanv, we reiterate; what we have before stated openly that we have j no tears of honorable and legitimate inni'tt- ; tion: it heljw rather than hurts business. 1 We simply warn our patrons against heini; de- reived by misrepresentations in ruttoniiiu! par- ties who! without the slightest idea of eontitiii- j ins in the auxiliary publishing business, haviiu; neither the iitHVssary expertenee. plant or fiieiii- ! ties for so dolus. endeavor to makeeapital of our warning to our patrons. The intention of cotm: . into busiuess to la.'" bought oil " is of itself, as ' is also their statement, a uniiiie mcthed of : blackmail, to which w e Muse lo accede. We have i had occasion to w arn our patrons several times before in relation to such concerns, w hose fail- lire proved our judgment to be correct. i Is the publisher of a decaying wevkly pnH'r, ' who started with everything, the only pajs-r m a prosperous community, and who ends with until- ; lug, not even a paper worthy of the name, a tit subject to furnish auxiliary prints for other pub Ushers? TimewiU tell. Watch their career and judge for yourselves. We have done our duty to our patrons. N. P. NEWsl'Al'EK I'XION. ; Ilia Idea of a Senium. Robert Morris, a man celebrated for the part lie took In the American Revolution, was once asked by Pr. Rush: "Well, Mr. Morris, how did you like the sermon ? I have heard it highly extolled." "Why, doctor," said he, "I did not like it at ..II. It ia too smooth and tame for me, "Mr. Morris," replied the doctor, "what sort of a sermon do you like" "I like, sir," replied Mr. Morris, "that preach ini; which drives a man up into n corner of his pew and makes him think the devil is after him."

"August Flower" This is the query per What Is petually on your little boy's lips. And he is It For ? no worse than the big- ger, older, balder-headed boys. Life is an interrogation point. "What is it for?" we con tinually cry from the cradle to the grave. So with this little introduc tory sermon we turn and ask: "What is August Flower for ?" As easily answered as asked : It is for Dys pepsia. It is a special remedy for the Stomach and Liver. Nothing more than this ; but this brimful, j We believe August Flower cures j Dyspepsia. We know it will. We j have reasons for knowing it. Twenty years ago it started in a small country ! town. To-dav it has an hnnnreH ' place in every city and country store, possesses one of the largest manu facturing plants in the country and sells every where. Why is this? The reason is as simple as a child's thought. It is honest, does one thing, and does it right along it cures Dyspepsia. G. G. GREEN, Sole Man'fr,Woodbury,N.J. phi He Understood.

It had not not yet dawned upon the Confederates that ths eiptslition was intended for the relief uf the garrison. But presently tho gleam of into! iigenco was indicated with a rush iu the shai) of a shell from tho southeast angle of Sumter. It struck tho water fairly m line, neooueted, and burst over iu tho marsh : but it, was the signal for action Up went tho w hip, und tho mulo gathered his mighty hind legs under him. For a mo ment it was uncertain whether he was goinir to kick or run, but a few remarks from the driver convinced him thut there wils do- maud for forward movement, so ho "lit out for all he w as worth." At least thirty guns C-Mumanded mat stretch of lieuch, and they pouuaeu away us rust as thev could lo llred. Now and then a shell would hurst rather too near the mule's ears for comfort, and he would sheer violently and try to mako for uome. Utit the gallant driver plied the lash, aim ueid mm to ins work. At lengtn a ten inch shell tore up the beach and exploded so near thut the mule was entirely demoralized; but not so hit driver. Leaping down from his seat he caught the mulo by tho head, burked him rapidly round onco or twice, und was oft again on the keen jump U'fore the gunuera coum get nis range as a li.xed object On he went, and at last dashed into tho redoubt; nut mere was no shelter in it for the mulo. Ilis ears waved conspicuously above the Uiw lying parapet. The ammunition boxes were tumbled out unceremoniously, and the mule's nose pointed iornomoi mi me lightened load und tho prospects of unlimited fodder, he beat the pre vious record. But tho Confederate artillerists were on thoir metal now. They had failed to stop me supplies, hut their hearts burned for revenge. Their shots now came more from the rear, and bets were freely offered with no takers, on what the result would bo should the mule have a fair chance to kick a ten men sneil, as it were, "ou the fly." The crescendo scream of shell chasing ),im up the beach, lent wings to bis heels, und ho fairly flew toward the sheltering sand hills. There were only a few rods more to bo covered when some careful gunner mado a close cal culation as to the lengthening range, and punea uis wnyara almost in the nirk of time, ine nuge mass or iron struck the beach, as it seemed to the unxious spectators, exactly be hind the wagon, and the next instant noth ing was to be seen there but a cloud of white smoke ana brown sand. In an instant, how. ever, this floated away, and the mulo was seen vigorously reducing to kindling wood wnat was leit or me quartermaster's wagon. Ana me anver, where is he? Well ho was apparently knocked over by tho explosion, but he got on his feet in a moment, and, having cut the traces, was on the mule's hack in another, waving bis hat in resjK.nse to the cheers that rolled across tho water from Yankee blue jackets, from Confederate garrisons, ana from the dark blue masses that crowned the distant sand dunes. It is a pity that the driver's name has not been preserved, for his darinir act certiinir deserves recognition and reward, Perhaps he received both, but tho writer has been un able to find mention of the fact Adrian Rexford in American Mugazine.

All tho articles which have been writfnn about "the books thut havo helped mo" tacitly assume that what helps mo will hr.l'n you, or that Brown, on learning where Jones got his mental provender, will order home a supply of the same, and live on it. Nothing can well be further from the truth. Wh. ever these articles do not gratify a hurmless vanity, they are interesting simply as the literary experience of one more or less re spectable human being, and nothing more. Every man who loves books and ipriIh them' and makes any good uso of them, rad.s in the line of his own tastes and teinjieiaraent and pursuits. lie is not, and for the most part cannot bo, helped by another man's Ixioka supposing books to be anything more than repertories of facts. All must, of course, go to the same sources of information, or in other words must consult the sumo books of reference, but every man who reads for cul ture, or for encouragement, or inspiration, or power, mast choose his own books. Books that have helped Brown may be interesting to Jones, because be loves Brown and likes to watch the working of his mind: but thev will not necessurily help Jones. In fact, the ttme ho spent on them might bo timo utterly wasted, unless there existed the closest simi larity in pursuits and in character between the readers. New York Post.
