MAKING ONE'S FRIENDS USEFUL.

BORDER COPPERHEAD. "Glad to see you and your men, General. I've allus stood up for the South, and cussed the Yankees. I'm your friend, and allus has been. You won't take nothin' of mine, will you, General?"

REBEL GENERAL. "Of course, we won't take any thing from you. But, as you're our friend, you'll be glad of a chance to help us. We want all your Cattle, and Horses, and Grain, and we'll pay you in Confederate Notes for all you have. Here, boys! be lively, and take along whatever our friend has that will help the Cause."

A Word to our Fair Readers. — Health the basis of Beaut.--Pimples, blotches, and all skin diseases. —A clear complexion is not only essential to female loveliness, but it is equally an external evidence of health—while sallowness, pimples, and all cutaneous eruptions are indicative of a disturbed condition of the stomach and liver. Upon these organs the famous aperient and tonic known as HoIloway's Pills, act with a directness, precision, and rapidity unparalleled in Medical Science, while the Ointment purges the vesicles of the skin, and imparts a brilliancy and roseate tint to that delicate envelope. All who value health and beauty should beware of tampering with cosmetics, as they are not only pernicious but highly dangerous to health.

A SWEET AND
PERFUMED BREATH.

What lady or gentleman would remain under the curse of a disagreeable breath, when, by using the

BALM OF THOUSAND FLOWERS,

it would be cured? How many lovers it has separated! ! ! How many friends forever parted ! TILE SUBJECT IS SO DELICATE, your nearest friend will not mention it ; and you are yourself ignorant of the fact. To effect a radical cure, use the Balm as a tooth-wash night and morning.
