The hen, so soon as she «?n egg doth lay, Spreads the fame of her doing what she may; About the yard a-cackling she doth go To tell what ’twas she at her nest did do. Just thus it is with some professing men : If they do aught that’s good, they, like our hen, Cannot but cackle on’t where’er they go ; And what their right hand doeth, their left must know. ABOUT TO PROPOSE. “ Mary,” said a fond mother to her daughter, “has Henry proposed yet?’’ “ Not yet, mamma, but I think he will before many days.” “ What makes you think so?” “ Do you really wish me to tell ?” “ Certainly.’’ “ Because he asked me if you expected to live with me if I married, and I told him no.’’ -:o:- Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until your experience shows that you should abandon it. A constant ham¬ mering on one nail will generally drive it home at last, so that it can be clinched. When a man’s undivided attention is centred on one object, his mind will constantly be suggesting improvements of value, which would escape him if his brain was occupied by a dozen different subjects at once. THE STOMACH, LIVER, AND HEAD. The best and safest medicine for all female complaints is Holdroyd’s Stomach and Liver Pills ; they cleanse, purify, and cause a free circulation of the blood, open those obstructions which they are so liable to, and bring nature into its proper channel; whereby health is recovered, and the patient, who before looked like death, restored to a lively complexion. To ladies of all ages these Pills are invaluable. 44 I, MARY FREEMAN, Brooke Street, Congleton, feel it my duty to say that lloldroyd’s Stomach Pills cured me of a very bad stomach and liver. I tried other pills and medicine, but of no avail, till I was recommended to get your wonderful pills. You can publish my case in your Almanack.” Additional Fact from a Chemist. “ I have pleasure in telling you that more your Medicines are known they are all the more valued. The people are speaking highly of them.”
