A Story for Children.
Grandfather Lee was a great favo
rite with the children. It was his de
light to make them happy. Never
shall I forget his peculiar smile of be
nignity as he related his ever-welcome
stories to the delighted group gathered
around him, nor can I efface the im
pression some of these stories made on
my mind. Years have gone by since
he was gathered to his fathers, but his
memory is still fondly cherished.
One of his stories I will relate.
There is a kingdom established by
the Eternal One, on one of the planets
moving round our Sun. It stretches
North, South, East and ‘West, till it
has encircled the planet. There is no
place upon its surface it reaches not.—
It has been established upwards of six
thousand years. It has never had but
one king seated on the throne, he has
reigned from the beginning, but holds
his government at the will of the Om
nipotent. He is now venerable from
age, but not grey; experienced but
not feeble ; stern, but not unkind; in
deed, few would suspect that thousands
of years had passed over his head judg
ing by appearances. Many strange
things has he seen in his time. Once
he saw a world drowned ; excepting a
few saved in an ark. Kingdoms rose
and kingdoms fell, but his government
remained secure. lie had many chil
dren who shared with him the cares o*
government. The one I would intro
duce to you, ruled over the most favor
ed portions of the planet. This son
had twelve children, and when they
were grown, he adopted a singular
policy, allowing each of them to hold
the reins of government a specified
time, and as the rotation was made at
first it was to remain for ever.
He who took them first was a surly,
blustering fellow, whose very look was
enough to freeze you ; his hair was as
white as snow, it was seldom a smile
appeared on his countenance, and if
one did, it was quickly gone. But
what made it most unpleasant, was the
fact, that every creature in all these
countries, had to meet him many times
every day, and as they stood quaking
in his presence they involuntarily
wished the brief period of his reign at
an end. He reigned four weeks and
three days.
His brother now takes command ;
in some respects, he is even more re
pulsive than his predecessor. He is
haughty and chilly in his general
deportment. Sometimes, however, a
gleam of sunshine is seen on his face,
making it very pleasant and very beau
tiful. Snow and frost abound through
his reign, which continued to its ut
most limit, is four weeks and one day.
This is a real blustering fellow com
ing, and seems as if he w r ill drive all
before him; he whistles, he moans,
and he blows, and we are at a loss how
to take him ; yet sometimes he is very
agreeable, though very frequently a f
ter his most pleasant moments, he is
taken. with one of his boisterous fits,
and is driving away as fast as he can.
He is to rule four weeks and three
days.
A young lady approaches, and see,
she is weeping. She is the youngest
of the twelve, and is to rule next. She
has words of sympathy for all; when
ever you see her, she is either weeping
or wears a melancholy smile. Your
sympathies are insensibly drawn to
wards her—more especially as you
look upon the sober dress she wears
for one so young. She governs four
weeks and two days.
A second lady comes ; she is some
what older than the first; some of her
features are very beautiful, in other
respects she is plain, a few violets and
other early flowers adorn her brow;
the lines of sorrow can readily be trac
ed on her countenance. She is very
capricious and often disappoints those
who confide in her too fully. Four
weeks and three days are given her to
reign.
But who is this clad in flowers; tall
and graceful ? She comes *to rule her
allotted time. The rose and the lilly,
and the most beautiful of Flora’s trea
sures, are hers to enjoy. Their fra
grance is exquisite. The fields put on
their most beautiful appearance, the
children run to the meadows to greet
her. She is limited to four weeks and
two days.
That matronly form is the next
queen. With the ripened wheat around
her, and bearing a sheaf on each shoul
der, she comes forward with calm dig
nity and grace. She seems delighted
with the prospect of abundance around
her. With her brow adorned with
early fruits and flowers she looks very
beautiful. She may rule four weeks
and three days.
This, however, is a sober looking la
dy approaching. Her brow is gener
ally either contracted with frowns, or
genial with smiles, and the changes
from the one to the other are often
very sudden. Like the thunder-gust,
however, these seasons are usually
brief. She bears a basket of summer
fruits garnished with flowers. She
reigns four weeks and three days.
The oldest of the ladies now comes.
Her beauty has been great, now she
has bound a wreath of many colored
leaves from the forest on her brow.—
✓
She bears the more delicious fruits of
the earth, yet a shade of sadnesss over
spreads her features. We feel sad in
her presence from mere sympathy, yet
we part from her with regret. Her
reign lasts four weeks and two days.
Here comes one who seems able to
endure the toils of the day; look at his
athletic form. He comes to lift the
fruits of the earth, to visit the corn
fields and orchards; benevolence beams
from his eyes, and he has a kind word
for the children who gather around
him to share his bounty. In him we
see strength and meekness, abundance
and large heartedness combined. He
reigns four weeks and three days.
But is that miserable looking fellow
really to reign ? See, he has a cloud for
his garment and vapor for his crown ;
he looks as if he had outlived every
joy, and only reigns because he cannot
help it. The laughing children are
sobered in his presence, and even those
of riper years feel the influence of his
gloom. He is required to reign four
weeks and two days.
Here is the last of the twelve. He
is wrapt in warm furs, and seeks to ex
clude the cold. He may often be seen
with a very cheerful countenance en
deavoring to make everybody happy,
especially the children. He has capa
cious and numerous receptacles for
pleasant things made in his robe, and
with a liberal hand dispenses his gifts
among them. He is not reliable, how
ever, being as often disposed to bite,
pinch, and freeze, as to smile and be
kind. His reign ends in four weeks
and three days.
Now children, said Grandfather Lee,
you have all seen this aged King, and
enjoyed his benefaction. With his
son you are still more familiar, having
lived with him for eight, ten, or twelve
years. You know his children still
better, meeting with some of them as
you do every month. Now I want you
to tell me—
1. Where this Kingdom is?
2. What is the name of this aged
King ?
3. What is the name of his Son ?
4. What are the names of his twelve
Children ?
Good Advice.
Fanny Fern takes leave to say:
“ Praise your wife man ; for pity’s
sake give her a little encouragement
—it won’t hurt her.
“She has made your home comforta
ble, your hearth bright and shining,
your food agreeable ; for pity’s sake,
tell her you thank her, if nothing more.
She don’t expect it—it will make her
eyes open wider than they have done
for these ten years ; but it will do her
good and you too. There are many
many women to-day thirsting for the
word of praise, the language of en
couragement. Through summer’s heat
and winter’s cold they have dragged
uncomplainingly, and so accustomed
have their fathers, brothers, and hus
bands become to their monotonous la
bors, that they look for and upon them
as they do the daily rising and setting
of the sun. Homely every day life
may be made beautiful by the appre
ciation of its homeliness. You know,
if you can take a clean shirt from your
drawer whenever you want it, some
body’s fingers have ached in the toil
of making it so fresh and agreeable,
so smooth and lustrous. Everything
that pleases the eye and the sense has
been produced by constant work, much
thought, great care, and untiring ef
forts bodily and mental.
- “ If the so styled ‘lords’ would only
consider these things, and feel a glow
of gratitude for the numberless , atten
tions bestowed upon them in sickness
and in health, they would not seem so
selfish in their feelings. They don’t
come out with a hearty, why how
pleasant you make things look wife ;
‘I am obliged to you for taking so
much pains.’ They thank the tailor
for giving them fits; they thank the
man in the full omnibus who gives
them a seat; they thank the young
lady who moves along in the concert
room ; in short, thank everybody out
doors, because it is customary, then
come home tip their chairs back, and
their heels up ; pull out the newspa
per, grumble if wife ask them to take
the baby, scold if the fire has got down;
or, if every thing is just right, shut
their mouth with a smack of satisfac
tion, but never say I thank you.
“ I tell you what, men, young and
old, if you did but show an ordinary
civility towards’ those common arti
cles of house keeping—your wives ;
if you gave the one hundred and six
tieth part of the compliments you al
most choked them with before you
were married ; if you would stop the
badinage about whom you are going
to have when number one is dead ; if
you would cease to speak of their faults,
however banteringly before others,
fewer women would seek for other
sources of happiness than your cold
sottish affection.” T

It will be the policy of the Principal to employ
none as Associate Teachers but the most able and
efficient. He takes pleasure in presenting the
names of the learned and accomplished individuals
whose services have been engaged as co-workers in
the great cause of Education.
Mr. Dickson has been, for years, a devoted stu
dent of the classics. His scholarship in this de
partment is unexcelled; while, in other fields, his
researches have been thorough and ample. Asa
Christian gentlemen, an excellent disciplinarian,
and an able teacher; he is equaled by few.
Messrs. Blackstone and Dennis are men of abil
ity and much moral worth. As evidence of this
it need only be stated that they taught their way
through College, and obtained its degrees by their
own unaided efforts.
The Course of Study is ample, embracing the
various branches of the ordinary college course.—
It is, at the same time, designed to afford the
highest advantages to those who are preparing to
enter any of the college classes. It is progressive
and systematic; but not stereotyped—to be passed
over by every pupil in a fixed period, at a given
number of strides, irrespective of capacity, schol
arship and mental habitude: but that prescribed
for each individual will be regulated according to
his mental capabilities and contemplated future
course. Acting on theory that boys should learn
.first those things which they are to practice when
they become men, they will be required to pay spe
cial attention to those branches of study that will
fit them for business and the duties of an active
life.
The mind is not treated as a mere receptacle ;
but as a thing of life, growth and action: the
prime object is to develop its energies—nutureand
train its expanding powers ; to mould and guide
aright its various and complex emotions; to bring
into active exercise all its faculties; and to pre
sent in full and just proportions an educated
practical man, and not a graduated dunce or learn
ed automaton. The pupil is taught to think, to
reason, to investigate. He not only learns to
comprehend what is said, but to examine the sub
stratum and understand the reason of the propo
sition.
In the study of the Latin and Greek languages,
pupils are exercised in translating, both orally and
in writing, from the foreign into their vernacular,
and vice versa, until, by repeated and frequent
application, every principle becomes easy, and
every word is rendered familiar. By this and a
careful study of the idioms of the languages, they
become not mere translators, inelegant and inac
curate, but linguists.
The institute is furnished with ample philosophi
cal and chemical apparatus, Mathematical instru
ments, Mineral Cabinet, Maps, Skeleton, Physiolo
gical Charts, and a well selected library of several,
hundred volumes. To these such additions will
be made as the improvements in science and the
wants of the institution demand. In addition to
the familiar lectures and illustrations with which
the recitations and exercises in every department
will be interspersed, extended lectures on various
scientific subjects will be delivered whenever the
circumstances render it necessary or expedient.
The Discipline and rules of conduct will be such
as are recognized and taught in the Sacred Scrip
tures: such as comport with reason and propriety:
and such as are approved by experience and com
mon sense. In short, every pupil will be required
to do right.’
Students from other institutions applying for
membership will be expected to furnish testimo
nials of their moral and student-like deportment.
The buildings will be neatly fitted up and thor
oughly renovated, so that nothing in the outfit
will be wanting for convenience and comfort. ‘
By a division oflabor, with an efficient faculty
and a limited number of students, Rrownwood, it
is believed, will offer advantages equaled by few
institutions in the land—combining those of the
higher seminary with the best select private school.

Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate”, them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at nry Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living at a distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

HOLLAND BITTERS,
THE CELEBRATED HOLLAND REMEDY FOR
Dgspepsia —Diseases of the Kidney
—Liver Complaint —Weakness of
any kind—Fever and Ague ,
And the various affections consequent upon a
DISORDERED STOMACH OR LIVER,
Such as Indigestion, Acidity of the Stomach, Col
icky Pains, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Despon
dency, Costiveness, Blind and Bleeding Piles. In
all Nervous, Rheumatic, and Neuralgic Affections,
it has in numerous instances proved highly benfh
cial, and in others effected a decided cure.
This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared
on strictly scientific principles, after the manner
of the celebrated Holland Professor, Boerhave.—
Because of its great success in most of the Euro
pean States, its introduction into the United States
was intended more especially for those of our fath
erland scattered here and there over the face of
this mighty country. Meeting with great success
among them, I now offer it to the American pub
lic, knowing that its truly wonderful medicinal
virtues must be acknowledged.
Generally instantaneous in effect, it finds its way
directly to the seat of life, thrilling and quicken
ing every nerve, raising up the drooping spirit,
and in fact, infusing new health and vigor in the
system.
NOTlCE—Whoever expects to find this a bev
erage will be disappointed; but to the sick, weak
and low spirited, it will p; ove a grateful aromatic
cordial, possessed of singular remedial properties
Caution;
The great popularity of this delightful Aroma
has induced many imitations, which the public
should guard against purchasing. Be not pursua
ded to buy anything else until you have given
Boerhave’s Holland Bitters a fair trial. One bot
tle will convince you how infinitely superior it is
to all these imitations.

and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat
with the same ease andfacility that it sews a straight
seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand five hundred stitches per minute.
10. The seams are elastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in
washing, ironing or otherwise.

REY. S. BOYKIN,
Macon, Ga.
Baron Stow , D. D., Boston.
It supplies a want in our Christian literature, and does It In a
form and a spirit of which no Baptist can be ashamed. While it
embodies a large amount of information, evidently the product
of thorough, discriminating research, its style is distinguished for
purity, clearness and vigor. It is every way creditable to the au
thor, and to the denomination whose principles he candidly and
courteously developes.
Rev. Henry C. Fish, Newark , N. J.
I have greeted no work of recent date with a warmer welcome
than that of Professor Curtis. That it tills a place not before filled,
and meets a real want in the literature of our country, and especi
ally of our denomination, no one can doubt. Could I reach the
ear of every Baptist minister and lay-mein her in the land, I would
say, “ Buy the Proouf.ss of Baptist Principles, and read it,
and lend it to your neighbor; it will deepen the conviction of the
truthfulness and immense importance of the sentiments which
you hold; and while it will cherish no unkind or uncharitable
feelings towards any other denomination. It will make you more
firmly and intelligently attached to your own.
Rev. George IV. Samson , Washington . B.C.
This treatise is the complctest ever published; and its brevity
united with its completeness makes it a book “ for the people” in
this reading age. It would be difficult to conceive a more perfect
hand-book of history and criticism upon those points increasing
in interest, not only among Baptists, but among other Christian
denominations, than this work.
Prof. M.P. Jewett , author “Mode and Subjects of Baptism .”
I have read it with great attention and with deep interest. Lucid
In arrangement, simple and perspicuous in style, cogent in argu
ment, redolent of heavenly charity in spirit, it contains multum
in parvo, the quintessence of aU that lias been said on the Bap
tismal controversy, from Apostolic times to the present day. It
needs only to be known to be obtained by all our ministers, and
by manv intelligent private members of our churches. Indeed, I
know of no book, more suggestive, none more instructive, to tho
mind of any serious, intelligent Predobaptist.
Adam Wilson , D. D., Paris , Me.
I know of no other book that contains so many statistics on the
subject. The book is written in an excellent spirit, and Ido not
see why it would not be interesting to all lovers of historical truth,
whatever may be their religious sentiments.
M. B. Anderson, D.D., LL.DPres. Rochester University.
It is learned, clear and candid, and while it will be indispensable
to the library of the intelligent Baptist, it will be found of hardly
less value to Christians of other denominations who desire to form
clear views of the internal and external organization of the church,
and the points at issue between the supporters of different theories
on this subject Asa vindication of the character and principles
of the Baptists, and a nroof of the extent to which they have af
fected the thinking and acting of the Christian world, it is particu
larly able, and must continue to have a standard and permanent
value.
William H. Shatter D. D., Portland , Me.
It evinces sound scholarship, a thoroueh acquaintance with the
topics in question, and an admirable arrangement both of the facts
stated and the subjects discussed. But lam most especially grati
fied with the candor and Christian spirit which pervade the entire
work. In this respect it certainly is a model book.
John Dowling , D. D ., New York.
I am prepared to say that I consider it the most valuable contri
bution to the literature of the Baptist controversy that has appeared
, in the present century, or since the first publication of Booth's P®-
dobaptisin Examined m 1784; and indeed, in consequence of tho
greater scope and range of subjects included —and justly fh
“ Baptist Principles,” and the recent duto and scholastic authority
of most of the Ptedobaptist concessions to Baptist principles ad
duced, it is immeasurably more valuable to the Baptist of tho
nineteenth century, than the well known work of Booth. Tho
spirit of the work is most excellent. It breathes the spirit of
Chri6t‘ and can justly gsve offense to none. The volume is indis
pensable to every Baptist book-shelf, and its facts should be treas
ured up in every Baptist mind and heart.
S. W. Adams, D. D., Cleveland , Ohio.
I have perused this work with deep interest, and am happy to
say that I deem it worthy a place in all the Baptist families of*the
land. It will subserve the cause of truth and righteousness in an
eminent degree. The denomination are highly indebted to the
gifted author for the admirable arrangement and style of the work
and also to the firm under whose auspices it is published, in so
fair, open type, and attractive dress.
William. W, Everts, D. D., Louisville , Ky.
An able and timely contribution to the true history of the church.
It evinces the research of the scholar, the candor of the impartial
critic, and the charity of the Christian. It will do much to remove
prejudice and vindicate the reputation of the Baptists. It should
be widely circulated, and retained in our libraries as a standard
work on our denominational principles and history.
Basil Manley , D. D. Charleston , S,C %
I think it eminently candid and thorough, while the vigor and
freshness of the author givo zest, and a peculiar interest, to tho
perusal. lam ready to give the work, within the circle of my ac
quaintance, my earnest and unreserved commendation.
J. L. Burrows , D. D., Richmond , Va.
Tho “Progress of Baptist Principles” I regard as the most val
uable contribution to our Bontistic literature that has been male
for the last twenty years. The plan of the book, the clearness
with which it evolves our peculiar principles, the facts which show
the extent to which these principles have ulready modified outage
onistic tenets, and the dignified and courteous tone of the whole
argument, are all admirable, and can scarcely fail to secure for
it a wide circulation.
Robert Turnbull , D. D., Hartford , (H.
It is every way an able and interesting discussion of the ques
tions at issue between us and our Pasdobaptist brethren. Its ac
curacy, candor and ample historical information must commend
it to ull honest inquirers.

dM/E Ayer’s Fills
y§§jHfHjjy TjjlfWifew '/ Are particularly adapted to de
rangomontsofthe digestive appa
ratu8 > and diseases arising from
impurity of the blood. A large
” ‘ —lt P art of a ” 16® complaints that
- J—Af —M afflict mankind originate in ope
of these, and honsequently those
Pills are found to cure many va
'Jl rieties of disease,
Subjoined are the statements from some eminent physicians,
of their effeots in their practice.
As a Family Piiysic.
From Dr. E. IF. Cartwright, of New Orleans.
“ Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their excellent qual
ities surpass any cathartic wo possess. They are mild, hut very
certain and effectual in their action on the bowels, which makes
them invaluable to us in tho daily treatment of disease.”
For Jaundice and all Liver Complaints.
From Dr. Theodore Bell, of New York City.
Not only are your Pills admirably adapted to their purpose
as an aperient, but I find their beneficial effects upon tho
Liver very marked indeed. They have in my practice proved
more effectual for the cure of bilious complaints than any cure
remedy I can mention. I sincerely rejoice that wo have at
length a purgative which is worthy the confidence of the pro
tfession and tho people.”
Dyspepsia
From Dr. Henry J. Knox, of St. Louis.
“The Pills you were kind enough to send mo have been all
used in my practice, and havo satisfied mo that they are truly
an extraordinary medicine. So peculiarly are they adapted to
tho diseases of the human system, that they seem to work upon
them alone. I havo cured ‘somo cases of dyspepsia and indi
gestion with them, which had resisted the other remedies we
commonly use. Indeed I have experimentally found them to
be effectual in almost all the complaints for which you recom
mend them.”
Dysentery Diarrhcea Relax.
From Dr. J. O. Green, of Chicago.
Your Pills have had a long trial in my practice, and I hold
them in esteem as one of the best aperients I have ever found.
Their alterative effect upon the liver makes them an excellent
remedy, when given in small doses, for bilious dysentery and
diarrhcea. Their sugar-coating makes them very acceptable
and convenient for the use of women and children.”
Internal Obstruction —Worms Suppression.
From Mrs. E. Stuart, who practices as o Physician and Midwife in
Boston.
“ I find one or two largo doses of yonr Pills, taken at the
proper time, are excellent promotives of the natural secretion
when wholly or partially suppressed, and also very effectual to
cleanse the stomach and expel worms. They are so much the
host physic,wo have that I recommend no other to my patients.”
Constipation Costiveness.
From Dr. J. P. Vaughn, Montreal, Canada.
“ Too much cannot bo said of your Pills for the cure of cos
tiveness. If others of our fraternity have found them as
efficacious as I have, they should join mo in proclaiming it for
tfle benefit of the multitudes who suffer from that complaint,
which, although bad enough in itself, is the progenitor of others
that are worse. I believe costiveness to originate in the liver,
but your Pills affect that organ and cure the disease.”
Impurities of the Blood Scrofula —Erysip
elas Salt Rheum Tetter Tumors
Rheumatism Gout Neuralgia.
From Dr . Ezekiel Hall, Philadelphian
“You were right,Doctor, in saying that your Pills purify the
blood. They do that. I have used them of late years in my
practico, and agree with your statements of their efficacy. They
stimulate the excretories, and carry off the impurities that
stagnate in the blood, engendering disease. They stimulate
the organs of digestion, and infuso vitality and vigor into the
remedies as you prepare are a national benefit, and you
deserve great credit for them.”
For Headache —Sick Headache—Foul Stomach
Piles Dropsy Plethora—Paralysis —■
Fits &c.
From Dr. Edward Boyd, Baltimore.
“Dear Dr. Aver: I cannot answer you what complaints I
have cured with your Pills better than to say all that we ever
treat with a purgative medicine. I place great dependence on
an effectual cathartic in my daily contest with disease, and be
hoving as I do that your Pills afford us the best we have, I of
course value them highly.”
Most of tbo Pills in market OQUtain Morcury, which, al
though a valuable remedy in skilful hands, is dangerous in a
public pill, from the dreadful consequences that frequently
follow its incautious use. These contain no mercury or mineral
substance whatever.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
Has long been manufactured by a practical chemist, and every
ounce of it under his own eye, with invariable accuracy and
care. It is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits, and
consequently can bo relied on as genuine, without adulteration.
It supplies the surest remedy the world has ever known for the
euro of all pulmonary complaints; for Couons, Colds, Hoarse
ness, Asthma, Croup, Whoopi so Cough, Bronchitis, Incipient
Consumption, and for tho relief of consumptive patients in ad
vanced stages of the diseaso. As time makes these facts wider
and better known, this medicine has gradually become tho best
reliance of the afflicted, from tho log cabin of the American
peasant to tho palaces of European kings. Throughout this
entire country, in every state and city, and indeed almost every
hamlet it contains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the best of
all remedies for diseases of tho throat and lungs. In many
foreign countries it is extensively used by their most intelligent
physicians. If there is any dependence on what men of every
station certify it has done for them; if we can trust our own
senses when we see the dangerous affections of the lungs yield
to it; if we can depend on the assuranco of intelligent physi
cians, whoso business is to know; in short, if there'is any
reliance upon any thing, then is it irrefutably proven that this
medicine docs cure the class of diseases it is designed for, beyond
any and all other remedies known to mankind. Nothing but
its intrinsic virtues, and the unmistakable benefit conferred on
thousands of sufferers, conid originate and maintain the rep
utation it enjoys. While many inferior remedies have been
thrust upon the community, havo failed, and been discarded,
this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on
the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too nu
merous and remarkable to be forgotten.
