CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HHADACHBi
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; "the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dim, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, a painful sen
sation of having "left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he Is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to Xxy it In fact he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
. ve occurred where few of them ex
' y et examination of the body,
F er death, has shown the LIVER to
r ve been extensive ly deranged.

JL.VLA 1CI'SII'! o\'« UI.OVEB,
Lyla Jinshtou did lova three buttoned
kids. She always wore them! No, I
mistake! She wore four, five, ami e\en
six buttoned on grand occasions, but
three buttoned daily. A handsome shoe
and handsome gloves were almost es
sential to Lvla Htusliton's happiness.
Lyla was (let me whisper it with fear
and trembling, lest suuo lair readers toss
her head commn])tuonslv,) a compositor.
She lived in a nice house, nicely tarnish
ed, on a nice street, with her faihei and
mother. To be candid, Lyla's lather did
no; >w:i (lie house; lie was a clerk in a
large wholesale store, hail a salary suffi
ciently large to enable niinito biro a
pleasant residence and support a family
.comfortably. But his eldest child. iLt
aforementioned Lyla, was an indepen-.
dent liltlo maiden, who was not all con*
tended after she left school u settle
down to tha aiinless life of many girls—
to dress, and shop, and read novels, and
visit, and receive visits. She resohed
Hint she would be 110 further expense,
nor .vas she contended to idly fold her
bauds and wait for some condescending
man to assume the bills necessarily in
curred in a young lady's support—she
would do something.
What shall it be? She conld not wrile
a bo>k; she hail not the patience to touch
, a schorl, she did not like sewing, she
would noi stand for twelve hours behind
I a counter for a mere pittance; but she
had a cousin who was an editor ot a
country paper.. She had visited for sev
eral summers at his house, and spent
many hours in his office, and being a
lively, curious little body, has made her
self mistress of many ot i.ssecrets.
Now„sbe wrote to Mrs. Cousin Tom.
'May I pay you a short visit?' To Mr.
Cousin Tom,' May i perfect myself in
typesetting?'
Mr. and Mrs. Cousin Tom gave one
answer to the two questions.
'You may with great pleasure to lis.'
, Lyla was down at Kockford two
mouths, and lcturued, a perlect mis
tress of her profession, to accept a lucra>-
tive position In the city, and wear a new
puir of three buttoned kids per inoiilh.
And one 6«cing Miss Kushtou .valking
down the Avenue and Broadway of a
morning in her neat, stylish suit, with
the prettiest of fitting shoes and dainty
gloves*would recognize in the pretty
blondo a thorough lady; lior dream that
many hours of Uer day were spent in
tire dirt ami giimuess of a printing of
fice.
Or.c autumn afternoon two gentlemen
pu6sed out from a !arie building oeeu
pied by the officers ot the 'Daily Blank.'
As the elder ot the two. a line looking
intellectual faced mail, stepped foot O.i
the sidewalk, he stopped to lift a pair ol
pearl colored, three buttoned kids.
'Some lady has lost these pretty ar>
tides,' ho said, spreading the diminutive
gloves (five and a quarter) upon his
palm. 4 I say, Ambrose, what shall Ido
with them?'
.Walter Ambrose, (ho son of one ot
New York's wealthiest uiorohauts,laugh
ed gayly.
1 Why, you veritable women
hater, 1 verily believe you despise the
fair sex too much to keep their smallest
belongings about you. Now I propose
you keep one of those dainty gloves,
and I the other, and see who shall find a
fitting owner tor them.'
Durwood Morrcll smiled a sunshiny
smile, and said, languidly,—'l'll agree to
that; but is it scarcely necessary to add
that you will be the one to find the pret
ty handed feminine.'
• 'lt must be a pretty hand,' said Am
brose, looking at the diminutive glove,
then tucking it in his vest pocket.
'Yes,' a hand that can drum on the
piano, work in Berlin wools, and display
diamond souvenirs of conquest —nothing
else, said Durwood, cynically.
•Well, old boy, what would yotf Lave
a woman do?'
'Something useful.'
•Nonsense 1 Most Women can do some
thing nsetul.'
•Yes, but I admire a woman who
makes her whole life useful.
Shorlly aflor the above conversation,
Waiter Ambrose was riding up (own in
a stage, when il stopped for a lad) to
entor. Walter politely held open the
door, and just as the slage started, per*
ceived that she »d dropped a glove
from her muff. He sprang out. secured
the article, and smilingly returned it to
the owner.
When Lyla Rushton (for it was 6he)
left the 6tage, the dubious clouds ot the
wintery day were shedding copious
gliowei sof rain. Lyla bad no umbreN
I la; Waller had, for which providence
that gentleman was dulv thankful.
Somehow Lyla's blue eyes has made a
strange impression on Ambrose's heart,
lie begged to escort her home, and Miss
GRAHAM, N. C-, TUESDAY APRIL 1 1879
Rushton looked first at tho drenching
rain and then —accepted his ofler. When
Walter left her at the door be handed
her a curd containing bis name and ads
dress, and begged permission to call on
her.
Well, it came about that wealthy,
handsome Walter Ambroso called on
Lyia Kushtou more than once, and es
corted liL-r to theatres and concerts. One
night be asked her to to
the opera f the succt'Cding week fc adding
that he wished to introduce her to hi
sisters. Then Lvla bravely resolved
that Wnhcr Ambrose should continue,
his acquaintance with her on 110 lalsc
gtotind.
'I am passionately fond of opera, Mr.
Ambrose, and should enjoy accompany
iug yon, but I must uot allow myself to
meet your sisters, 01 even lo continue my
acquaintance with you, until J make you
aware that I work lor my living. 1 am
a typo 6etter.'
Bravo little Lydia! foolish Walter.
Of course Mr. Ambrose was too pclile
lo show any disapprobation, but there
was a troubled, trifling coolness that
Miss Rushton noticed and uudci's
stood.
'1 sa\j Durwood, 110 addressed his
acquaintance next day at tho club,
'what do you think ol a tlaily working
girl, as typesetter, wearing three
buttoned kids always, and—and—being
a lady geuerulh ?
'She must be worth knowing,' replied
the distinguished editor ot the 'Daily
Blank,' with more interest than he often
showed concerning ordinary topics.
'She is! Why 1 nearly lull in love with
her.'
Mr. Durwood Morrcll gave Ambrose a
quick, searching glance, then with
languidly veiled eyes, questioned,—
'But when von found out that she was
oqe ot the worlds workers, \ou set a
guard over your heart?'
'lt would scarcely do to nink-i a com
po3tor my wife,' said Walt r, v ivy uiorli
as it h*3 wanted Morrcll to disagreo with
him.
But Morre'.l tnado 110 answer, and Am
brose sauntered away. That evening
he stopped for Mr. Alorrcll to walk up
town with hiin, and as the two gentle
men stood on the walk lighting their
cigars, just by the entrance of the office,
Lyla Kushtou tripped 011 t N
'tiood evening, Mis ltiioiiton.'
'Good evening,' the lady replied
coohy.
At sight of her, Walter's heart thrilled
st angfily. and despite her coolness, ho
V( utured another remark, for the sake of
clelaiiiing her.
•Is it possible is this your'—ho hesitated,
but Ly la graciously answered his mean
ing.
•Yes, this is where I work, Mr. Am
brose.' k
'Then in&y I introduce you to my
friend? Miss Uushtoii, Mr. Morrcll '
Mr. Morreli can readily understand that
lie is scarcely less than t friend to me,
sail Lyla, smilingly acknowledging the
introduction. 'His luce, name, penman
ship and thoughts are all familiar to
me.'
'Though I have been iu cruel ignorance
ol the honor I have had,' replied Mors
rel) pleasant (he trio parted.
Perhaps it wits odd that llie most dis
tingubhed writer ®n the editorial staff
of the 'Daily Blank' should often meet
one of that papers compositors; perhaps
it was, considering that the said gentle
was reputedly a woman hater, at all
events it tantalizing to Waller Am»
brose, who lound that he loved Lyla
Kushton madly after "he himself had
broken the smooth flow ot their acquaint
anceship. «
Poor Walter! how he raved— privalcly
when the newspaper world, literary
circles and fashionable society announced
that handsome, talented, courted Duiv
wcod Morreli was soon to marry blues
eved Lyla llushlon and Miss Helen —
Walter's sister retnaked, havi:ig met
Lyla, that she thought Miss Uusbton
•perfectly splendid.' and 'so noble, not
to be ashamed o( her past profession!'
Durwood asked Waller to be grooms
man, but that gentleman declared he
must be in Philadelphia that week, it was
bad enough to have to send the bride an
elegant gilt, and to listen to bis sister's
extravagan praises of her loveliness.
Mrs. Durwood found a pearl colored
glove carefully Mowed away in her
husband's rooochoir case and examined it
—perhaps & little wifely jealously— was
surprised to recognize one of a pair she
had loft nearly a year previous.
Sue greeted him at night whh—
•Dnrwood, where did you get one of
my old gloves?'
lie recognized tbe article and remem
bered the circunislance.
'ls it yours?" he questioned, wii'.h an
amnsed look. " 3
'Of conrsedidn't you know it; where
did you »«;t It!'
•I found it outside of the office, and
kept it at Mr. Ambrose'* suggestion.
He ha* the other. I certainly did not
know 4t was yours, 4161 dreaming that
our employees were to extravagant as to
wear three buttoned kid gloves,'
*Oh!'laughed Lvla,'then' were alwity
IUV weakness.'
'lt I had but known that sooner, ]
iniglvt have a right to this some months
ago,' And lie deliberately took a kiss
nay several.
AN UI.KCTION WAS tVO.\
[Madison (lud.) &t.*r.]
Some years auo Kns«, our own (J. W.,
lived in our adj. ininj* county ot Kipluy.
11c was then a Kipublicuu in a Demo
cratic county. What his politics are now
we don't know, and dou't care, and we
think lie don't know or care either. We
only know he is a manlv. big hearted,
gonial gentleman, and that's all we care
about these times. Hut to tho story.
Kuss was a Republican candidate for
Shuritl in the' Democratic county of Kip
ley, and, as n matter of course, wanted
all the voles he could get. Then, as now,
he was passionately found of gunning,
and always owned a tine gun and doys.
In his county was an old German, we
will call him Jake. IJc also was a buns
! ter and u power among the boys.' He
kept a little country dosrgery. and his
'inlluanoo' was worth about thirty voles
In due time Uti9s met Jakn, and a talk
about guns and dog? rather
warmed the Dutchman towards Kuss,
although Juke was n Democrat. After
awhile Kuss saw one of Jake's lank, pot
bellied pointers, and commenced lo give
a\yay tally.
'Jake,' said Kuss, 'that's a mighty flue
dog. Where did you wet him?,
.lake replied lo the effect that ho raised
that kind of dons.
' Well, I'll tell you.'said Kuss, 'I am
ynry fond of hunting, and it I ain elected
fherill litis fall I shall indulge myself in
shooting to uiy heart's content. If I aiu
uot elected I will, not be able lo shoot
much. 1 will give you SSO lor that dog,
Jake, it I want him after the election.
Here's aso note lo bind the bargain.'
Jake, tickled to death at the iluo sale of
his dog, which was worth about filty
cents, tojk the bill, and us a consequence
his end of the county gave Kuss a hand
some majority and In* was elected, barely
polling through. Time passed and Kuss
was duly installed ill the office of sherifl
ot ltiplsy county. Soon Jake put iu an
appearun e, drugging the unwilling cur
at bin heels. .
'Mister Kuss,' said Jake, 'you voshow
elected sheriff von dis gouuty uud hero
is dose dog. Gife me my vorly-viie toK
lars.'
'Jake,' Raid Ru«s, *1 And that toy tiinu
will not allow ino to hunt as much as 1
thought it would; you may just keep the
dost and the $o too.'
Jake studied a Ion 2 time, then took u
long breath, and said:
•Mister Russ, 1 believe hi, by got, you
buy me anil not my ilbg! Ain't id?'
