Me LANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint. DYSPEPSIA AND BICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of alDiseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of th£ 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 th£ 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 sicktjess; "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 iation of having "left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry coiyjh 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 tiy it. In fact, he distrusts every rettiety? Several ol the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have b«en extensively deranged. AGufe AND FEVER. DR. G. MCLANE'B LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF 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 Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.

BKNNIRIt irtPß. BY MRS. C. W. HAItRER TOWLES. 'lt is surprfciuj 1 that the boys now-n --dav* usually marry the weakest milk sops in creation,' exclaimed Mrs. Del mere to her hn*banl;'tliero U our Ben ide, the b »y I nursed from babyhood and thought .good enough to be n prince, has gone and inarriod Mabel Springer, a little sickly jimmy thing, who is ito more fit to be a wife than that white hyacinth yonder, to sec how ho doies on her! Why, she can't say she wants a now dresu. but oft he goes to get it lor her, as if it wasn't a woman's business to do her own shopping.' 'Yes,' replied her lirtsbnnd laughing, 'it is as much .as we ought to do to furs nish the money; it keeps some of us pretty busy to provide that.' 'That's neither here nor there,' she re plied,'wives generally o:iru all they gel, tout Ajnbel Sprrnger wiH never make b.ck for Benzie the salt that goeß uf her brei«d.' - , _ 'Ain't yon a little too hard on the girl, Eunice? She's from the coun 'i'v and it's natural she should be home sick.! think you onglTt to be more lenient with Bennie's wfTe. She has faults with out doubt, but if our own dinghter Fans 1116 was situated as she is, you'd be very angry with the mother-in-law, who not only dwelt upon her faults but magnified thcin.' . . 'Fannie will be adiflgrent wife wheh she marries,' replied Mrs. Delmere with a positive air '1 raised her myself and Ihe inau who gets her will get a treas are. , Tho conversation was inlerrnptod by the entrance of Bonnie—a young man not yet twenty .three years old, with a fine open couutenance, and a world of kindutss shining in his mild grey eyes. 'Mother,' he said in a gentle, yet auxs ious tone, 'I yisli you would a*k sister to step into our room aud 3it with Mabel until l.come back. I shall not be gone long, my wife is suffering so much irom nervous headache this morning I dislike to leava her alone.' llis mother was on the point of saying 'O, fridge, Bennie I don't make yourself Kiich a fool. Your wite's uell enough 1 dare say.' but her son was nn only one and had been huiulgeS ||pm earflfest boy hood. ft was hard to bo«Ltnsay no to his wishes now, so fcho wftflwrew the cold glaeiue j s from her eyMprid replied, FannSe tnll go and sit with her.' Bonnie turned with a rclievod expreso sion upou bis face, wliiio his mother called to his sister to go up and take care of Mabel until liis return. Wiien the girl putcred'tho room, she saw at a glance that her sister-in-law was irdecd a sufferer. She sat in a rocking chair by an open window, Iter head rest ing among pillows and the hue almost of death upon her fcaiuures. Fannie had often heard her mother's unkind remarks about Bennie's wile, but the scene before l)6r touched lie'* heart and she moved softly ovclHlip carpet and spoke in a gentle tono wheu she asked 'Are yon feeling very much worse tosday sister?' It was a sweet face that looked up and tried to smile in response to the ques-. lion. '-Yes, I have one of my spells of- nor* veils headache; if. will pass away in the course of an hour or two, I dure say. 1 am sorry Bennie troubled you. I told him 1 cqjild stay alone it it was not con venient tor you to come.' 'O, it was a pleasure,' said the recllv kind iieai ted Fautiie. 'What can I do for you?' 'Nothing; rest and qnjef will restore me. Take a book and amuse yourself until Benuie returns.' At (lie expiration of a half hour the young man entered. His face was flush-* ed by some pleasurable emotion and he carried an open letter iu his hand. 'O, Fan,' he said, addressing his sister, 'I have great news. Uncle Heury has arrived from China. IMs in New York and will be here day attcrMo-morrow. lie has sent mother a box of rare and delicious tea, and yon one of the lovelicat embroidered shawls I ever saw—a thous and times prettier than any cashmere. Mabel, my love, you must make haste and get well enoagh to welcome him.' The young wife smiled faintly. She was thinking there would have to be a great improvement in her feelings before she was well enough to greet anybody. Heury Del mere—the nude referred to —had leff his native Ifcnd years before to (raffle and trade in China. He "had dealt largely in silks and teas and amassed a princely fortune in the land of the f-elee t tiahk His visits to America were few l%nd far between and his relatives looked forward to them with joy and fond an* ticiimtioiift. It was a bright spring afternoon when GRAHAM, N.C-, TUESDAY APRIL 22 1879 this eastern merchant arrived at the de pot or" Ileathdale wljgre the Delmeres resided, lie was a (all. broad shoulders od- man, witlHiair and beard plentifully sprinkled with grey. His face woro a hale, hearty look and was lit by grey benignant eyes. 'Bless my soul, Ben,' he sr.id, slapping his nephew on the back when the young man met him under the car shed and in troduced himself. *1 left von at Ihctiire of my last visit a mere lad and now I find you grown and— mnrriei vou say? Well, coming back here makes mo feel liko § kind of Metluisnleh, yet WNCII 1 am in Canton 1 am far from realizing • hat the days and Weeks fly so fast.' And this is Fannio-?' he continued. 'I came near sending a doll lo her instead ofashawl. What's iliat, Mies? You're quite too old to play with dolls now! That's so, but I could not keep from thinking of you as ilio mere baby I - left behind when! sailed for the cfclestlat Empire.' In conversation liko this, the parly reached the bouse ot the Delmeres. Poor dono horbegt to gel well enough to receive "this much prized nucle, but alas! the throobing head and weak limbs attestod her utter unfitness lo apper i> the drawing-room where the guest was received. Several days elapsed and she had not even caught a glimpse of him through her window. At le.igih the visitor Inuisoll referred to her absence.' "'I have not seen Bennie's w|fe vet,' lie said to his sitter-in-law otie 'morning when the family hud leit tho breakfast table and the two alone together in the drawingsrooni;'tho boy is a flue manly fellow, one to be proud of, I hope ho has married well.' Mi 8. Delmere gave a significant little sniff. 'SheVnot much,' she replied. 'I call it rather a poor stick Bunuie picked up. He could have done a thousand times better, but there's little use in saying so now. Marriage is a knot that can't be untied.' 'Pshaw I pshaw I it isn't as bad as that the boy does not want to get out of the noose already I hope. He isn't tired of her is he?' O, no, he is ns blind to her faults as a beetle. Lin thinks she's perfect.' •For heaven's sake let him think so sifter, whatever her funlis may he. 'Wnere ignorance is bliss 'tis lolly to bo wise.' What's the matter—an invalid hey? Well, if she's sweet tempered, that can be bcrne with. Many a man has married a shrew and been happy with her just because he was determined to be HO from tfie very first, Slio must not be condemned on account of her health; We can't any of us control disease. By the wav,„l feel a little lcveiish and sick myself this morning. I was exposed to ...smalNpox in New York and it wouldn't surprise mo if I was taking that.' 'tiinall pox!' ejaculated Mrs. Deimere in consternation. 'Fannie has never been oven vaccinated, and 1 myself— Vveil—hem, I shouldn't like to take it? . •• 'Perhaps, then, sister, you and my niece liad best keep as far away from me as possible. Let Benuie and his wife also know ot the danger.' Mrs. Deimere hastily loft the room and in less than half an hour afterwards, she and Fannie left the house'. The merchant took to his bed. He was alone as he supposed in his brothers house. He thought about hiring a nurse but be really fell too ill to make the effort. He had aching pains in his bones and drank copious draughts of water. His face became red and splotched and his head pained him sad ly- He was aroused by a slight tap at the door aud looking up was surprised to see a alight, pale girl cuter ajiid approach his bod.*. 'This is Uncle ilenry, I supposp,' she said,'and lam Bonnie's wife. w Bonnie will be hete presently; bo has gone for a physician.' 'Beuuie's wife,' exclaimed the Did man, eyeing hor sharply. 'Tutl child, I thought you were Rick yourself. Do you know that lu coming to me, you may be coming iu contact with small-pox?' 'Yes, mother sent us word, but Bennie aud 4 both decided that DO carefully nursed, no matter what your disease might be.

'Bless tho Lord for that,' said the new comer wiili a smile ' 'Eunice and Famile sent for me aud are hall beside themselves tor fear.' ♦Send to come back,' said Beuuie, '-N'o stay, I will go fur them injselt.' Mrs. Delmoro oame back ancompanied by Fannio and was very demonstrative and aflectionato.doclarleg that her dear brotlior Henry tvas Iho best man in the world and siio was so thankful it was only measles. Bonnie and Ids wife watched un» ceasingly by the old gentleman's bed, for he was very sick. Measlos is thought •to bo a slight ailment, bnt thcro were times when the merchant wondered if small-box could have been much wors-. Bnt lie recovered and in a fow weeks returned to China. Two years after, he died, and when the will he left was opened, many were surprised that a hundred thousand dollars hat} been lett to Bonnie's wile. 'lt is surprising,' said the mother-in law, 'how the minx ingratiated herselfso into favor, for I always did think Mabel Springer was a poor stick.' TIIOSB HORRID COWS, * A FEM ALE'S TROUBLE wrrn A PEACEFUL BOVINE—A FAMILIAR PICTURE. [Fiom the Detroit Free Press] There probably isn't a woman in tfflfclh America who isn't afraid of cpw«, fflid i there is not a cow in North America which would harm one hair of any wo man's head if it had ihe best chance* in tho woildand no other ji>b on hand. YVedness day forenoon a stray cow, perhaps troin ti a com t>-y anxious fur a taste of bale l hay, found a gate open and entered a yard on Second street. The woman came lo the door dressed to go out, but seeing the cow-she uttered a scream and hurried back. There wasn't a tiling in the yard for the cow lo damage or eat, and being tired sl.e raised her cud, lay down .and began to chew away as if sho had j ist got home from a long visit to Europe. The woman next appeared at a side window, and called upon the cow to "git out." A d>g might hare "got," but the cow didn't* Then the woman throw a rag at the cow, and called for a dog. The dog didn't coine and the rag didn't scare. Thcu the woman shook a pillow at the cow, and peremptorily ors tiered lieroffthe premises, but the bovine half closed her eyes and lot her thoughts run ahead to liy'liiue. Asllie cpw didn't go, and as the wo man couldn't go 111 l the cow did, sterner measures were resorted to. A tin pan was held out ot the window and beaten with a spoon, tnt the cow couldn't be fooled into believing that the Fourth of July had come. Then the woman went into die backyard to throw clubs over' the and knock a couple ot horns of!. The fir-t cue hit tlio window, and the next one banged the blinds on the next house, and Ihe cows horns stuck tighter than ever. Orirts ot "git our!' were again resorted to without oflect, and tlieu the woman watched at the front door till she saw a boy coming along, aud she opened it and cried out: 'OhI boy! there's a terrible cow in our yard! Prop the gate open and get all tlio boys and police you can and drive her out, and I'll give you a whole quarter of a dollar! Hurry up, lor she looks as if' she was getting retdy to como right lu here!' 1 The boy humped the dangerous ani mal out iu thirty second.', received bis pay, and the woman gave up going down low u for fear slie might have a 'nervous spelt.' OATMEAL IN THE HOUSEHOLD.— Iu Great Britain children of all ranks are rained on an oatmeal diet alone, because it entices them to grow strong and health ful, aud no better food can be found for I bom. It is also quite as desirable r lor the student as the laborer, and for the delicate lady as the bard working sister; iudeed all classes would be greatly bene fitted by its use, and dyspepsia, with all its manifold annoyauces, can be kept at a sale distance. John Clarke, the English comic actor, aud Miss Furtadp, the comic actress, played for a Mug time together, and fin ally married. She first died, and recent* iy he followed. They lett a daughter entirely unprovided for, and with their usual generosity, thetr brother unU sis ter artists have raised a tuud to bring ber up.

Say the engagement takes place at two o'slock— the servant is sent out immediately to acquaint the news. Then the relatives and intimate friends go immediately to the honse aod congratulate the young couple, who stand in the center of the saloon arm in arm. I asked a lady recently eqgjged if she was very happy, and if she didn't feel as if her fianct was a stranger to her. "Oh, no, n «he said; ''papa knew him a Jung time and X saw him once at a ball, but I nev sp>»ke to him until yesterday. Oh, yea, 1 am very happy, but it was a great sur prise to me.
