SHE COULD KEEP A SECRET.

.-"We're bound to be equal to you mon," said the Mason's wife; "wo formed a secret society of our own last night." "indeed," said the worshipful master, composedly; "then I hope, my dear, your project will be successfill, Is it a benevolent sooiety, or whaU" "That's none of your business. It's a secret society, and we'vo sworn a solemn oath not to divulge anything relating to it." « Very good, ray dear," observed tho worshipful master, returning to his paper; ''l'm sure I do not wish you to violate your oath." "It would not matter if yo*af' did, I wouldn't. You keep your close enough—and to think of that stupid Mrs Furbelow i she oould recollect neither the grip nor the sign. It took us an hour to teach her. When

I gave her the sign, like this (suite the action to the word), sho would make it in this way, ha! ha'l Her stupidity would havo boen oxasporating if it hadn't been ridiculous; andl as for learning tho grip, why she would havo it that it was this way—give me your hand a minute-there, she would have it that way, while it was this way; and the pass word 1 she couldn't keep it ill her memory two minutes. Over ami over again I told her it was," Be wise, and fear not," and sho would havo it, " Swear not at all," or, "Do unto others as you would bo done by,' ha! ba I we almost despaired of getting it through her head, But we made her understand at last, Oh, yes; we are going to havo a flourishing society, and we can bo as secret about it as you men are about yours." Then the lady went off to attond to her household duties, and the worshipful master hid his face behind his paper and smiled.

, THE BAD AN U WORTHLESS are never undated or counterfeited, This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positivo proof that the remedy, imitated is of the highest value As soon as it had'been.tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bittors was tho purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of' tho country had expressed the merits of H. II,; and in every way trying to induco suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on tho credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H, 8,, with variously devised names in which the word "Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induco people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters, All such ; pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their stylo or name is, and especially thoso with the word " Hop" or " Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits, Beware of them. Touch nono of thorn. Use nothing but genuino American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of Green Hops on tho whito label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else, Druggists and Chemists arc warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
