UNSEEN. _ ’
At tfee spring of as afltir in the great north
tower,
High up on the wall, is an angel’s head,
And beneath it is carven a lily flower,
With delicate wings at the side outspread.
They say that the sculptor wrought from
the fc e
Os his youth’s lost love, of his promised
bride,
And when he had added the last sad grace
To the features, he dropjecd bis chisel
ahd died.
And the worshippers throng to the shrine
below,
And the sight-seers come with their
curious eyes,
But deep in the shadow, where none may
know
Its beauty, the gem of his carving lies.
Yet at early mom on a midsummer’s day,
When the sun is far to the north, for the
space
Os a few short minutss, there fails a ray
'Through an amber pane on an angel’s face
It was wrought for the eye of God, and it
seems
That He blesses the work of the dead
man’s hand
With a ray of the golden light that streams
On tlie lost that are found in the death
less laud.
[London Spectator.
GOLDEN WORDS FROM “THE
GOLDEN AGE.”
It is observed that each person
is competent to be something
which no one else can do. The
further we get on in life the more
noticeable does this become in
reference to ourselves and others.
The idiosyncracy, the aptitude is
felt at first only as a vague yearn
ing. Inevitably, in one or more
points, our interests will clash
with those of our neighbors, even
when we are carrying out what
we deeply feel to be our appoint
ed life-work. This clashing begets
skepticism. We ask ourselves
again and again whether it can
really lie our duty to conflict with
and pain others. By and by we
learn from experience that if, in
doing right, we give pain, it is not
our fault. No more our fault than
the feeling of pain is the fault of
him whom we affect disagreeably.
The doctrine of fatalism has in it
much that is incontrovertible, and
and may well be instanced to this
connection. By doing bravely and
Unswervingly what we feel drawn
on to do, we are sure to be doing
well, no matter how great the hue
and cry raised against us. Indeed,
a disturbance caused by any line
of action is diiect testimony to the
power and efficacy of such action.
The lesson taught by history in
this regard is one of the first
to bo distilled from dry, isolated
facts for the behoof of youthful
learners.
Co OPERATION OF THE WIFE—No
man ever prospered in the world
without the co-operation of his
wife. If she unites in mutual en
deavors,or rewards his labors with
an endearing smile,with what con
fidence will he resort to his occu
pation, meet difficulty and en
counter danger, if he knows that
he is not spending his strength in
vain, but that his labor will be
rewarded by the sweets of home !
Solicitude and disappointment en
ter the history of every man’s lift,
and he is but half provided for hit
voyage who finds but an associate
for happy hours, while for his
months of darkness and distress
no sympathizing partner is pre
pared.
The value of advertising was
never better shown than in a re
cent case at Montreal, where,
while a pnnter on the Witness
was setting up an
for a lost canary, the bird flew »ti
at the office window.
In an advertisement of a baker's
business for sale, the following
appears: “Death the sole reason
for leaving; the proprietor gone
where ovens are not needed.”
The life of an honest man is a
beautiful poem; and every human
being who reads it feels better,
stronger, more hopeful for it.
The retrospection of past mis
fortune, like shade to a picture
gives to our present bliss greater
force and brightness.
The way to procure insults is to
submit to them. A man meets
with no more respect than he
exacts.
If you want a thing done, send i
a man to do it; if you want it
done well, go and do it yourself.
There is nothing so effective in
briuging a man up to the scratch
as a healthy, high-spirited flea.
There i*» no courage but in in
nocence; no constancy but in an
honest cause,
\\ hat did Adam first plant in
the garden of Eden ? His foot.

Vinegar Bitters nre not a vile Fancy D.'ink,
i ade of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and
k efuse Liquors, d.tc’ored, spiced, and sweetened to
please the taste, called *‘ Tonics,” “ Appetizers,”
*■ Restorers,’' &c., that lead the tippler on to druiib
enness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made
from the native roots and herbs of California, free
from ail Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great
lliood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per
fect Renovator and Invigorator of tlie System, car
rying off all poisonous matter and reste.ing the
blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating both mind and body. They are
easy of administration, prompt in their action, cer
tain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms ot
disease.
No Person can take these Blftors ao
cording to directions, and remain long unwell, pre
v. I. I their bor.es are not destroyed by mineral poi
son or other means, and the vitai organs wasted
bevot.d the point of repair.
Dyspepsia or In<li<reslion. Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of tlie
( best. Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach,
Had Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi
tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs,
Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred
other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dys
pepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and
< te bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits
than a lengthy advertisement.
Far i'Vmnlc Uomplnint s, in young or old,
m:,:ri. d or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or
t! ' turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so de
cided an influeusc that a marked improvement is
sur ti perceptible.
For Inflammatory nntl Chronic
II lie n nm< is in and Gout. Dyspepsia or Indiges
tton. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers,
I Leases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have been most successful. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, wh'ch is
generally produced by derangement of the Digestive
Organs.
They arc a Gentle Pnre;ntlve ns well
ns n Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of
acting as a powerful agent in relieving ('.mgestioa
or Intlammaiion of the Liver and Visceral Organs,
and in Bilious Diseases.
Fur Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils,
Carlmnclcs, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes,
Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations ot the Skin.
Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever
n tine or nature, are literally dug up and carried out
of the system in a short tune by the use of these
Bitten. One Bottle in sueli cases will convince the
most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever
vox find its imparities bursting through the skin <n
Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores ; cleanse it when you
find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins : cleanse
it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when.
Keep the biood pure, and the licaith of the system
will follow.
GrMtefiil thonsnnds proclaim Vtisrcsn
Bitters the most wonderful luvigoraut dial ever
sustained the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking
in the system of so many thousands, are effectually
destroyed and removed. Says a distmguislied phy
siologist: There is scarcely an individual upon the
face of the earth whose body is exempt from the
presence of worms. It is not upon the healthyele
meuts of the body that worms exist, but upon the
diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these
living monsters of disease. No system of Medi
cine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free the
system from worms like these Bitters.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged
lu Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, 'Type- i
j setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance I
I in lite, will be subject to paralysis of the Bowels.
To guild against this take a dose of Wai.kbr's

bama, Mobile. Savannah, Roanoke, Janies, and
many otheis, with their vast tributaries, throughout
our entire country during tire Summer and Autumn,
and remarkably so during season* of unusual heat
and dryness, are invariably accompanied by exten
sive derangements of ibe stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. Tn their treatment, a pur
gative, exerting a powerful influence tipm these i
various o zans, is essentially necessary. There is !
no cathartic for the pur|M>se equal to t)K. J. W*i- j
kkr’s Vinegar Bits ers, as they will speedßy re- |
move the dark-colored viscid matter with which the
bowels arc loaded, at the same time stimulating the ,
accretions of the liver, and generally restoring the 1
healthy hmctim.s of the digestive organs.

TERs have shown their great curative powers m the
most obsimate and .utrac able case*
Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar
Bitters act on ail these case* in a similar manner.
By purifying the Blood they remove the cause, and
by resolving away tire effects of the inflammation
(tiw tubercular deposits) the affected parts receive I
health, and a permanent cure »s effected.

There is nothing of more importance to
■ the youth of our country, than a sound
1 practical education. Indeed it is a mat
t ter of first consideration, and in or ler
I that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at tlie
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from»experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross Hiirli School.
From Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol

FOR SALE.
The undersigned offers for sale the fol
lowing lands, all lying near Lawrenceville
in said county, to-wit:
Lots Nos. 140, 111 and part of 148. This
tract contains between 500 and «IX) acre®
of level, gray land, well adapted to the
! cultivation of cotton or grain. On this
j place there is a framed dwelling-house,
with four rooms, a good well of water anti
a beautiful grove of forest trees in the
yard; one mile from the court-house on
the Covington road; near forty.five acres
of fresh land in cultivation, and a young
orchard of well-selected fruit; the bal
ance all in the woods. The whole tract is
well watered and contains a large amount
of branch bottom land.
Also a hundred and twenty five aerosol
No. 178,lying 1 and a fourth miles from the
court-house, on the Jeflerson load. A bout

• This has been a number one farm and
well improved. The houses and fences

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
interests of our readers, especially, and of
our country and race generally.
To do that we promise to give them each
week the most important news, both
Foreign and Domestic ; the Market Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current; tbe
Legal Sales oT Gwinnett and a few other
counties, etc., and such Literary, P olitical,
Agricultural and Religious reading mat
ter as we may from time to time think
most interesting and profitable.
In Politics the ADVANCE must be
Democratic, to be honest, as we are both
Democrats in principle; but it will not be
partisan, nor do injustice to any party’, or
individual, knowingly. And, as we hon
estly believe, that the first and chief care
of all Christians should be to defend our
holy reJigion against the wiles of Satan—*
his hosts and tlteir arms, wo discharge
this sacred duty, as best we , under
the guidance of Him who is able to direc
and keep us in the way of trutn.
We will also studiously avoid giving
cause of offense to any professed Christia
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one brunch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one ot
them.
