C* McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF 1 Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint. bvsrarsiA AND SICK HEADACHE. , r' . - -■ 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 V for rheumatism in the arm. The «tomach 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 patn, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part There u generally a considerable loss of mem " ory, accompanied with a painful sen - sation of having *l6ft 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; Ills spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial' to him, yet rr lie can searcely summon up fortitude enough to try it In fact he distrusts every'remedy. Several of 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 been extensivily deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. DR. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AAD FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be use'd, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL. Foe all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BE WAKE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every bo* has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression DR. MCLANE'S LIVER PI U.s. The genaine MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS bear the signatures of C. MCLANE and FLEMING. BROS, on the wrappers.

MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, prepared by Flem , * n K Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name ile fyflne, - .elled differently but same pronunciation. ( A LiaUTUfrIMK-HrSPBB MB A NIHHT, Willie, my lad, I'll liac to gang lo the shore lor iralr oil for Iho lamps. I had no Idea iny stock had got sao low. There is not enough in the cans to lust the nicht. I iiunii awa' at once. Ye'li no uiUid slaying alone till I'm back?' ♦No, father, I'll no mind. Ye'll hae good time to be back a lore it's dark.' Kenneth Mayne was the keeper of a lighthouse on the' northeast coast ofScot iand. At most people are aware, 5t is now usual to have two men at least in all lighthouses, and such was the custom in the ca«e ol the Inverkaldy Lighthouse at the date of this story, but Kenneth | Mayne's comrade bad (alien ill only a day or two before Iho events about to be narrated happened, and a substitute-had not yet teeu sent in his place. Willie Mayne was a slight, -delicate looking boy" with a pale and fair, blue eves. He had been trail and' deli cate ever since* his mothers death, which happened when 119 was only two years old. He was also a little lame, the lesult an accident. Altogether, he was the very reverse of the person you would have willinglv chosen to leave 111 charge of a lighthouse at night—a fact to which no one was more alive thun the boy's own father. Kenneth Uayue rowed himself to the mainland in his boat, fastened it to the little wooden jetty which had been built for the use of the lighthouse-keepers, and set oil' lor Uowanfels, the nearest village. Having purchased a small can of oil, suf ficient to serve him until he should be able to get a larger supply conveyed to iwlouse he started on his way homeward again. The road ho was pur suing led along the sh>re, the sea on one hand and a line of sttep and lofty hills on the other. Mayne was proceeding at a rapid pace, carrying his can 011 his shoulder, and had reached a break in the cliffs made by a narrow ruvine, when lie was suddonly attacked by three men, who leapt out upon him from their concealment in the clelt of the rocks. Stunned l»y a blow 011 the head frqm a heavy bludgeon, lie lell to the gruuud. His assaileuts were upon liitn iu a moment, and in a few minutes had him gagged aiid bound hand and foot. 1 ben the conspirators carried their victim hot ween them a little way up the ravine, and left him, still nncon scicus, behind a rock, lying with his back against the wall ol the cliff. Willie Mayne expected hfs lather to be home at six o'clock. Wheu that hour arrived without him, he becamo a little anxious. Another hour passed, and still Willie could see no signs of his father, as ho stood on the small wooden, landing built out Irotn the rocky little islet on which the lighthouse was situated, aud directed his gaze lo the shore. He was growing every nuiuute more anxious and distressed' in mind. What had become of his lather? Was it an acs' ciJent or mishap of auy kind that had prevented him being back at the expected hour. it was now growing dark, and wilh the approach ot night Witlie'J fears and anxieties increasod greatly. The lamps would have to be lit, and- who was to do it? Could ho possibly manage it? ' The boy knew his own weakness of body and nerve ouly too well, aud be leared terribly iu bis bean that be Was ii«t cqua( to the task ol kindling the lamps. lie waited on the landing, gazing tows ard the shoro iiy.he direction in which his father mast approach, until it was nearly dark. Then he entered the houae aguiu, and uiotiiited the narrow winding aiaira to the room where the cans of oil for the lamps were ko|rt. - Willie felt (hat at all hazards he inu*t make the ef« tort to fill his lather's pl|ce to-night. If tiie lumps remained unlit, no one could tell what the consequences might be. Ships were constantly passing up and down thai part of the coast, the captain of which looked to the luverkaldy Light house both as a warning aud a Abiding beacon. Willie knelt down upon the floor. 'Oh, God!' he prayed, 'give mo strength and skill tor what I have to do, that the ships may not miss the lights and be driven on the rocks and the people lost. Accp my dear father from danger, and bring him safe home again, for Christ's sake. Amen!' Ou examination, Willie lound that there was still some oil remaining iu one of the cans, enough to last some houra? lie took the can and began climbing the staircase again until he reachd the small chamber at the top of the lighthouse which contained the lamps. He aet the can of oil down on the floor, and descend ed to one ot the tower rooms, returning wilh a chair aud a wooden stoaJ. Bnt standing on the stool aud tbe chair, the GRAHAM, N. €•, WTUESDAY MAY 13 1879 little fellow could not yefreacWßnobs J e «*- ' \ „ Again descending the long and steep stairs, which in itself was a hard and pniiiTul task to (he boy on account of his lameness, lie returned with a conple ol thick books, and placing tlirso on lop ol tho st Jo I, lie climbed upon the whole pile, nut! now fonnd that he could reach the lumps. Willie had s6en Irs father kindle the lights more than once, though, from the difficulty he had in climbing up lo the top ol the lighthouse, lie was not often Willi hia lather at such times. Still, be understood enough about the matter to pour the oil into the lamps and trim aud ignite the wicks. lie had just poured a portion of the oil into the first lamp, lifting the large can with some difficulty, when the support beneath his feet suddenly gave way, and he fell heavily to the g.-ound, striking ids face against the sharp edge ol the oil For a few mluules Willie was qnile stunned by his tall, and lay white aud motionless on the floor, a thin stream of blood welling op from lu« forehead. The chair had been standing rather unevenly on the floor, which Willie had not notic* ed. 111 leaning forward n little, as lie had to do to reach the lamps, lie disturbs ed his balance, and hence the accident. But Willie's swoon was not a deep oue, aud presently his consciousness re- Mimed. Ho rose, sot the chair, the stool, and the books in their former petition, this lime taking care to arrange Hie pile quite evenly, and again raised biinsolt upon them. . ,& Mood -*** villi flowing-freely from II!B forehead, but Willie heeded it not. Hie whole niluii and energies were en grassed in his task; Ids one object wqs get it quickly and successfully accom plished. Through the windows be saw that the night had turned out a very dark one. not a single star illuminating the black sky, and Willie knew thatou such a night the danger to the sl.ips, if there were no lights to guide them while past ing that treacherous part ot the coast, would I e greatly incrcaitcd. O.ie by one Willie replenished the lamps with oil. turned up the wicks, and lit them from the light with which ho had provided himself. The broad light flash ed its streaming radianco far out over the dark waters—a guiding star to whatever ships might be abroad upon the seas that night. Willie's task was done, but as he again descended to the lower rooms of the lighthouse his feet shook beneath him. The strain of strength and nerve to one so small and-trail of body had been very severe, and now his task was over, Wil lie telt as if every bit of strength had gonp out of him. But therewaajhe feel ing in his heart, too, that he had done all he could, thai God had answered bis prayers, and given him fust as much strength ami skill as were necessary for the work which had fallen to him to do. lie sat dowu in the little sitting-room of the lighthouse to awaft bis father's return, hoping, with an intensity of feel ing that may bo imagined, that nothing had happened to biui which would pre* vent bis reaching home before the oil in the lamps was exhausted. Tho plan of the wreckers—for such the men were who bad waylaid Kenneth Mayue—had thus completely miscarried. They h*d seen the lighthouse-keeper in Itowanfels while they were lounging in company at the door of ihe village inn. kuew his comrade was absent from his duties, and quickly laid their plans. They left ihe village together, waited in am bush for Kenneth M«y lie as he made his way home, and assailed him in the man* uer described. As soOn as it grew dark tbe conspira tors proceeded to a long, rugged reef tbal stretcned out from tbe land tar into tbe sea, almost covered by the water at high tide, but lifting a' jagged, sawlike ledge above tho surface at low water. Here tbe men raised a lamp, suspending it 'from a tripod of poies, and arranging it in such a manner that it slowly revolv* rd. turning now a bright aide, now a dark, toward tbe sea, and thus resem bling at a distance tbe lamps ot tbe real lighthouse. / But tbey bad scarcely lit fbeir false beacon when they saw, to tbeir rage and chagnn, tbe Hgbthonae itself flash forth its strong, bright blaze. Their hopes of luring some unfortunate ship to its des struction upon tbe cruel reef, and securs ing a rieh prize from .the wreck, w&e frustrated. Tbew knew of the presence of tbe lighthouse-keeper's son, but bad never for a moment anticipated that tbe "wee cripple," as tbey called him, would have strength and spirit enough to man*, age tbe lami*. . - , llut bafflt*! in their designs, and enrag ed as tbey were,'the wreckers were not •o winded by anger as n6t to perceive thai it would answer uo purpose o J their* 10 allow the light house-keeper lo remain all night aa they Imhl left him. It might only lucre mo the chnnco of their detec tion In I heir attempted crime, «r if any* thing happened to Mayne through a night's exposure, nggravafe the «R«* against them, if their deed* ever did oomo to light. So they jndged it Mfeat to reinrn to whero they had left Mayne and release him, Long before Kenneth Uavne reaehed the lighthouse, or course, he saw that the lumps were alight, and when he did reach home and heard Willie's story, his pride in his little lame son. wlio had that night so bravely done his duty—as brave ly as though he had double his aetual strength—could scarcely find expression iu W3ri«. «, ■ HOJI.IH JIVVBHSMV PRINTER. Mr. .Tames «\lrxander, of Charlottes Va. f recently celebrated lib seven ty tilth year. He was Thomas Jeffer son's printer, and the distinguished American placed much confidence in him. When Mr. Jefferson first lived in Charlottesville, there was no public printing office there, nnd he engaged the services of Mr. Alexander, then a youth, who was sent to Virginia troni Boston. The firework h» ever did after his ap prenticeship, waa dous for Mr. Jeffersou. Mr. Alexander was born in Boston and went to school on Buuker Hill. He firnt began to stick type in 1817. Mr. Jefi ferson waa always a warm friend of hia printer. When the ex-4'resident died Mr. Alexander started a weekly new* piper in Charlottesville, which he named i" employ.v son Republican. The paper is in exists ence. Mr. Alexander ean set type faster than any other printer iu the plaoe, and is in every way as active aa a man of thirty. He writes fluently, is an ener getio citizen, a punctual business man, and an elmest Christian. His friends tendered him a dinner iu honor of his birthday, aud many of the old«Mt citi zens of the place were present.— A etc York Sun.
