DR. C. MoLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
rOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPKrSIA. AND SICK HBADACHB.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the paiti is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder bladejmnd 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 dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with 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 arc low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In feet, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
\ have occurred where few of them ex
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR. C MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES or AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quipine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For aH bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

country 'taper. She had visited for 6ov
era I summers at his house, and spent
tnany hour* iu his office, and being a
lively, curious little body, lias made her
self mistress of many of i.s secrets.^
Mow she wrote to Mrs* Cousin Tom.
•May I pay you a short visit? 1 To Mr.
Cousin Tom,' May 1 perfect myself in
tyiieseltiug'r'
Mr. and Mrs. Cousin Tom gave one
auswcp to the two questions.
'You may with great pleasure to us.'
Lyia was down at ltockford two
months, and leturned, a perfect mis
tress of her profession, to accept a lucra
tive position in the city, and wear a new
pair of three buttoned kids per month.
And one seeing Miss Uushlon walking
down the Avenue and Broadway of a
morning in her neat, stylish suit, with
the prettiest of fitting shoes and dainty
'gloves, would recognize iu the pretty
blonde a thorough ludy; Aor dream that
many hours of her day were spent iu
the dirt ami giimuess of a printing of
fice.
One autumn afternoon two gontlenien
passed out from a large building occu
pied by the officers ot the 'Daily Blank.'
As the elder ot the two. a fine looking
intellectual faced man, stepped foot o.i
the sidewalk, he stopped to lift a pair ol
pearl colored, three buttoned kids.
•Some lady has lost tliese pretty ar
ticles,' ho said, spreading the diminutive
gloves (Ave and a quarter) upon his
(Mrfm. *1 say, Ambrose, what shall Ido
with them?'
Walter Ambrose, the son of one ot
New York's wealthiest merchants,laugh
ed gayly.
•Why, Durwood-, yon veritable women
hater, i verily believe you despise the
fait sex too much to keep (heir smallest
belongings about you. Now 1 propose
you keep one of those dainlv gloves,
aud 1 the other, and see * ho shall fiud a
fitting owner lor them.'
Durwood Morrell sinilod a sunshiny
smile, and said, languidly,—'l'll agree to
that; but is it scarcely necessary to «dd
that you will be the one to fiud the pret
ty handed femiuine.'
'lt must be a pretty hand.' said Am
brose, looking at the diminutive glove,
then tucking it in his vest pocket.
'Yes,' a baud that can drain on the
piano, work in Berliu wools, and display
diamond souvenirs of eouquest—nothing
else, said Durwood, evideally.
'Well, old boy, what would yon have
a woman do?'
'Something useful.'
'Nonsense! Most women can do some
thing useful.' *
'Yes, but I admire a woman who
makes her whole life useful.
Shortly after the above conversation,
Walter Ambrose was riding up town iu
a stage, when it stopped for a lady to
enter. Witter politely held opeu 4he
door, and just as the. stage started, per.
ceived that she had dropped a glove
from her muff. He sprang out. secured
the article, and smilingly returned it to
the owuer.
When Lyla Rusbton (for It was she)
left the stage, the dubious clouds ot the
wintery day were shedding copious
sliowets of rain. Lyla had no umbrel
la ; Walter had, for which providence
that gentleman was dulv thankful.
Somehow Lyla'a bine eyes has made a
strange impression on Ambrose's heart.
He begged to escort her home, and Miss
GRAHAM, N. C-, TUESDAY APRIL 1.1879
Rusbton looked first at the drenclbig
rain and then—accepted hU.ofler. VJjiften
Walter led her at the door bo handed
her a card containing his name and ads
dress, and begged permission to call en
Iter.
Well, it came about that wealthy,
handsome Walter Ambrose called oil
Lvia Rnshton more than once, and es
corted lior to theatres and concerts. One
night he asked iter to accompany him to
tho opera the »ucceediug*wcek, adding
tliat lie wished to introduce aer to bin
sifters. Tlmjii Lvia bravely resolved
(hat Walter Ambrose should continue
his acquaintance with her on no Jalse
ground.
'I am passionately fond of opera, Mr.
Ambrose, and should enjoy accompany
ing you, but 1 must not allow myself to
meet your sisters, oi'cvcn to continue my
acquaintance willi you, until ] make you
aware that 1 work for my living. 1 am
a type setter.'
Urave little Lvdia! foolish Walter.
Of course Mr. Ambrose was too polite
to sliow any disapprobation, but there
was a troubled, trifling coolness that
Miss Kushtou noticed and under-,
stood.
'1 sav, Durwood, lio addressed hi*
acquaintance next day at lliu club,
'what do you think of a daily working
girl, a* typesetter, wearing three
buttoned kids always, and—and —being
a lady generally ? V
'She must bo Vortti knowing,' replied
the dittluguished editor ot the 'Daily
Blank,' with inoro interest than ho often
showed concerning ordinary topics.
'She is! Why 1 nearly lell iu love with
her.' \ *
- Mr. DUrwood Morrell gave Ambrose a
quick, searching glance, then with
languidly veiled eyes, questioned,—
'But when yon found out that she was
one o! the world's workers, you set a
guard over your heart?'
'lt would scarcely do to maki a com*
postor my wife,' said Wait r, ▼ :ry uin ;li
a* it he wanted Morrell to disagree with
hi in.
But Morrell mado uo answer, jnd Am
brose sauntered away. Tlntl evening
he stopped for Mr. Alorrell to walk up
town with hiiu, and as the two gentle
men stood on the walk lighting their
cigars, just by the entrance of the office,
Lyia Uushtou tripped out.
'l»ood evening, Mis* Kiuhton.'
'Good evening,' the lady replied
cooliy.
At sight of her, Walter's heart thrilled
st: augely. and despite her coolness, ho
Vi utured another remark, for thesako of
dofai ning her. »
•Is it possible is this your'—lie hesitated,
but Lyla graciously answered his mean
ing. •
•Yos, this is where I work, Mr. Am
brose,'
'Thou may I introduce you to my
friend? Miss linshtoii, Mr. Morrell'
Mr. Morrell can readily understand that
ho is scarcely less than i friend to me,
said Lyla, smilingly acknowledging the
introduction. 'His luce, name, penman
ship and thoughts are all familiar to
me.'
'Though I have been in cruel ignorauce
ot the honor I have had,' replied Mors
rell pleasantly and the trio parted.
Perhaps it was odd that the most dis
tinguished writer an the editorial staff
ot the 'Daily Blank' should often meet
one of that pa|>erß compositors; perhaps
it was, considering tluit the suid gcntlc
was reputedly a woman hater, at all
events it was tantalizing to Walter Am
brose, wbo tound that ho loved Lyla
Ilushtou madly after ho himself had
brokeu tbo smooth flow of their acquaint
anceship.
Poor Walter! how he raved—privately
when the newspaper world, literary
, circles and fashionable society announced
that handsome, talented, courted Dur
wcod Morrell was soon to marry blues
eyed Lyla Ilushton and Miss Helen—
Walter's sister roinaked, having met
Lyla, tlrat she tliought Miss . llushton
'perfectly splendid.'and'so i(?ble, not
to be ashamed ot her imst profession!'
Durwood asked Walter to be grooms
man, but that gentleman declared be
mast be in Philadelphia that week, it was
bad enough to have to send the bride au
elegant gift, and to listen to bin sister's
extravagan praises of her loveliness.
Mr*. Durwood found a pearl colored
glove carefully stowed away in her
husband's moncboir case and examined it
—perhaps a little wifely jealously—was
•orpriaed to recognize one of a pair she
bad lost nearly a year previous.
She greeted him at night with—
'Durwood, where did yon get one ot
my old gloves 7
He recognized the article and remem
bered the circumstance.
•U It yours? he questioned, with an
amused look.
♦Of oonrse didn't yew kiMM* 1 itVlbere

•1 fouitd It bfttside of the office, Mid

The traffic in eggs in the United
States is estimated by competeut au
thorities to equal $180,000,000 a year.
The bttireled eggs received yearly at
New Yerk reach over 500,000 barrel*,
valued at $9,000,000, and this is hot
olie branch of the trade. It is said that
Philadelphia commutes 80,000 dozen eggs
it day. The receipts in Boston for tba
year 1878 were over 6,500,000 dozen.
B. tween 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 down
are annnally exported from the country.
