Some years ago whilst treyeling in the
South Of Iteland 1 had so 'arianged my ,
business as to get beni hte I near a res-
pectable farm house, where I readily oh-
,' tained accommodation for 'myself arid
horse. had heard of Mr. Hageety be-
fore, and in conversing with him, I found.
him to be an up ht, well iefohned man.
On my saying h w much I admired the
country and h w comfortable many of
the farmers appeared,to be he replied
"Yes, this'is a fine coun , and almost

their places, thecondition of those who

much worse than before. I, myself,

',eh "Some time ago as I was going to the
village of Killeen; I was met, at a turnof
the road, by Tim Doyle, a poor honest
fellow who holds five acres of worthless

met him:trudging along with a pig trot-

"1 a.sked him to explain hineself,"-

law. But come to me this everting,

ac'state of great excitement.
"Well, Tim," said Mr. Hagerty,

• "Indeed I am, sir," said poor' Tim, at
at the same time eyeing the stranger
• suspiciously, but being, assured he may
speak freely, as this gentleman was a
friend, he commenced, We all know,
sir, that the agent was very angry with
you for the way you stood • my friend in
the lawsuit, but as had. as he is, I didn't.
b'lieve he would carry his spite agin you
so far as he is tayin' to do, but with the
help of the saints we'll overcome him."
• "Why Tim," said Mr. Hagerty,
" what do you mean, explain yourself."
'Twas for that I ma.clehould to come"

ebservect that this was horrible, and

making such a statement, as Mr. Hagerty,

" Well, sir," says Tim, "one of the

,
TIME You= . .
There are but few prepariations of medicine
which have withstood the impartial judgment of
the people for any great length of time. One of
these is THOMAS' EIIECTBIC OM, purely a prepar-
ation of six of some of thebest oils that tire known,
each one possessing virtues of $ts own. Scientific
physicians know tlitt medicines may be formed 91
severalingredienta ni eertain fixed proportions of
greater power, and producing effects which .could
never result from the uee of any one of them, or in
different eambinations. Thus/ in, the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes plaee, forming
a compotmd which could not by any possibility be
made from any other combination or proportions
of the same ingredient's, or any other ingredients,.
and entirely different froni ahything ever before
made, one whEch prodnees the inostastonishing re-
sults, and having a wider range of application
than any medicine ever before!discovered:. It con-
tains no alcohol or other Volatile liquids conse
quently loses nothing by evaporation. Wherever
applied you getthe benefit of every drop whereas
.with other preparations nettaly all the alcohol is
lost in that way, and you get only the small quan-
tity of oils which they may contain. ;
