The excellent Remedies of DU, PROPHITT,
need no commendation—their well known power
in removing the diseases peculiar to our South
ern climate having alroady established fur them
an enviable reputation in Georgia and the ad
joining States. As the majority of persons liv
ing in the South are predisposed to disease of
the Liver, it is granted by all intelligent physi
cians that most of the pains and aches of our
people are due to organic or functional derango
ment of that important organ.
PROPUITT’S
Liver ModLioino
strikes directlyyit the root of the evil. Itcures
the Liver, which in nine ea-scs out of ten, is at
the bottom of the Coughs, Dyspepsia, Colic,
Sick Headache, Rheumatism, Constipation, Men
strual Obstructions, etc,, so common among our
people. My
Liver Medicine.
has the advantage of almost any other Prepara
tion of Medicine that sets upon the Liver. It is
in t.ha form of a Fluid Extract—ready for use at
all times, day or night, and can be carried to
any locality in America, winter or summer, as it
will neither sour nor freeze at any temperature
that a human being can occupy with safety.
It, is not too strong for children, or t.-o weak
for the most robust. There is no trouble about
taking it, only to unstop the Bottle and drink it
whenever you may want it. It has gained a
very high.reputation in every locality it has had
a fair and honorable chance to prove itself, at
any point in America, an l it has been used in
every State south of Maine, and is aiike appli
cable to disorders of the Liver and Digestive
powers a* all places yet tried.
Traveling Parties, north and south, carry it,

Castles in the Air,
in the beauteous realms of dreamland,
In tho moonbeam's silvery light,
At tho golden loom of fancy,
Sit 1, weaving visions bright;
Rearing up ethereal structures,
Thin as mist and light as air,
YVorking on with kindling fervor,
Whilo I weave a fabric fair.
Ah, my castle none may entor !
Closod it is to mortal eyes,
Yet amidst its wealth and splendor,
YYrite I, lost in strange surprise,
That in all my haunts and rambles,
Long I not for kindred mind,
And alone and unattended,
This solitude congenial find.
Would you view this phantom structure
Floating in tho ether blue?
Idle dreamers long have rearod them.
They are neither strango nor now ;
Old and young are busy working
On these airy castles high,
Sad delusions, those mirages
In Imagination's sky !
Azure skies and golden sunshine,
In this land of dreams prevail,
Silver moon and stars supplant them,
When the yellow sun grows pale ;
Crystal lakes in emerald settings,
Glisten in the moonbeams fair,
Silvery mists conceal the outlines,.
Os my castle in the air.
Clouds as light as foam flecked wavolets,
Steal across this azure sky,
To enrich the sunset splendor
With their gold and crimson dyer;.
Founts of dew play mists of silver
Up into the scented air,
Throwing spray like glittoring crystals,
O’er the pearly petals rare.
All about my airy castle
Floats an atmosphere so soft.
That it needs no firm foundation
To support its freight aloft;
Though its slender fragile columns,
Arc upheld by vapor fine,
Yet no citadel or stronghold
Is impregnable as mine.
Never must I fear intrusion
From a friend or foe without,
No enemy can storm my fortress,
Or can capture its redoubt ;
In reveries alone I wander,
Well assured that none would daro
To invade tbe sacred precincts
Os my castle in the air.

Y'iees of Genius.
Cu’cridge was such a slave of liquor tbnt ho
had to be kept an unwilling prisoner by Chris
topher North, on an occasion when some liter
ary performance had to bo completed by a cer
tain time ; and on that very day, without taking
leave of tiny member of the family, he ran off
at full speed down the avenue to Ellary, and
was soon hidden, not in the groves of the val-
Icy, but in some obscure den where, drinking
among low companions, his magnificent mind
was soon brought to tho level of tho vilest of
the vile. YVhen his spree was over, he would
return to the society of decent men.
Do Quincey was such a slave to the use of
opium that his daily allowance was of more
importance than eating. An ounce of laud
unum a day prostrated animal life during tho
afternoon. It was no uncommon sight to find
him asleep on the rug before the fire in his
own room, his head resting on a book and
his arms crossed on his breast. YVhen his
torpor from tho opium had passed away, ho
was ready for company until about daylight.
In order to show him off his friends had to
arrange their supper parties so that sitting
until three or four in tho afternoon he might
be brought to that point at which in charm of
power and conversation ho was so truly won
derful.
Burns was not less a drunkard then Cole
ridge. It was the weakness of Lamb. And
who can remember tho last days of Poe with
out an irrepressible regre't ? lie was on his
way to marry a confiding woman, stopped in
Baltimore, and was found by a gontleraan
who saw him in a state of beastly intoxica
tion, unconscious as a dog, and died that night
in the ravings of delirium tremens.
Douglas Jerrold was a devotee to gin ; so,
also was Byron. Steele, the brilliant author
of The Christian Hero, was a beastly drunkard.
Men wrote of him that he would dress him
self, kiss his wife and children, them a
lie about his pressing engagements, heel it
over to a groggery called the ‘store,’ and have
a revel with his bottle companions.
Rollin says of Alexander the Great that the
truo-potion which brought him to his end was
wine.
The Empress Elizabeth, of Russia, was
completely brutified by strong liquors. She
was often in such a stato ot baocltic ocstacy
during the day that she efiuld not he dressed
in the morning, and her attendants would
loosely attach her robe's, which a few clips o f
the scissors would disengage in the evening.
Let every man, and especially in public life,
who desires to avoid a drunkard’s death, re
member that he is on the crumbling vergo o f
such an infamy, when he begins to feel that in
order to prepare himself——tbe doctor fur con
sultation, tho lawyer for a cause, tho clergy
man for a sermon. the'politician fora speech
bo must take a pint of coffee or a plug of
opium ; and the self same moment of that
discovery lot him put his; foot down, raise his
hands, and swear that, by tbo.hclp of God, ho
I will never taste another grain or drop as long
! as life remains. That is tho only safety.
The Fence Questions.
The Colnmbus Enquirer is decidedly of the
opinion that tho present fence system is best
suited to the condition of tho country and the
necessities of the people. It says :
The proposed change of fencing would have
to be made by everybody at the same time,
and a great many people are not now able to
take the time to make it.
Should it bo ordered to be made during any
particular winter (say next winter), it w.wild
so seriously interfere with planting operations
as materially to curtail the crops of next
and only a limited number of planters aro yet
in a condition allowing them to curtail their
crops without reducing their working force.
Could every farmer or planter find, in one
compact body such a piece of p&stiire land as
would afford a sufficient range for his cattlo,
hogs, etc. —yielding plenty of forage, Ynast and
wator —the saving in fencing would be very
great. Butt how many—especially of planters
owning only a Georgia land ‘lot' or two—have
their grounds naturally laid off as favorably
and conveniently as this? Nat many, wo im
agine. Most of them would Lave to enclose
a number of patches in different parts of their
grounds, and this would still require a great
deal of fencing. The saving would not be
s«ch an item as one might suppose from the
general statement of the proposition, without
considering it in its details.
To planters requiring nearly all their
grounds for cultivation, and to people living
in the cities who have cows running at large,
the change would be a very expensive nnd
inconvenient one. It would rather prove, in
many cases, nn obstacle to the raising and
keeping of stock, instead of an inducement,
which is more needed at this time.
This plan was tried, a year or two ago, in a
large and rich section of Alabama, by author
ity of a special act of the Legislature. The
section is favorably adapted to such an tnter
prise, on account of its river boundaries and
its excellence as a grazing region. But we
noticed a short time since that the planters in
this large scopo of country had either aban
doned the plan, or were about to apply to the
Legislature for a repeal of the act authorizing
them to adopt it.
Responsibility.
A young man of Virginia had become sad,
ly intemperate, lie was a man of great ca
pacity, fascination, and power, but he hail a
passion for brandy which nothing could con
trol. Often in his walks a friend remonstra
ted with him in vain ; as often in turn would
he urge his friend to take the social glass. On
one occasion the latter agreed to yield to him
and as they walked up to the bar together,
the bar keeper said :
“Gentlemen, what will you have ?”
“Wine sir.”
The glasses were filled, and the friends stood
ready to pledge each other in renewed and
eternal friendship, when he paused and said
to his intemperate friend :
“Now if I drink this glass and become a
drunkard, will you take the responsibility?”
“The drunkard looked at him with severity,
and said :
"Set down that glass.”
It was sot down and the two walked away
without saying a word.
Oh 1 the drunkard knows the , awful conse
quences of the first glass. Even in his own
madness for liquor, he is not willing to assume
the responsibility of another’s becoming a
drunkard.
YVhat if the question were put to every dea
ler, as he asked for his license and pays mon
ey : “Aro you willing to assume the respon
sibility ?” How many would say, if tbe love
and gain of money did not rule, ‘Take back
your license?”
A Truth lor History.
At the dedication of a monument erected in
memory of the Confederate dead, Col, Breck
inridge, of Kentucky, lately delivered a very
eloquent address, from which the following
passage is worthy of being preserved, not only
in tho memory of tho Confederate dead, but
in tl perpetuam memoriam ’ of the dead Confed
eracy ;
The contest was a most unequal one—the
South fought at every disadvantage. With a
white population of less than five millions and
a half; with an arms bearing population of
less than nine hundred thousand : Maryland )
Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky and Y irgiffia
divided ; without a regular soldier or a milita
ry organization; without a ship or a navy
yard; but with few guns, and they of inferi
or quality, and not a manufactory where any
part of a gun or any part of its ammunition
could bo made ; without monoy or organized
credit; cut off from tho world, in whose mar
ket she was not allowed to purchase even the
jnedieines for the sick ; isolated from all man
kind, and even thrust out from all sympathy ;
encompassed with vastly outnumbering foes,
whoso armies, daily recruited from every na
tion under tho sun, were supplied with every
appliance of warfare and every possible com
fort as well as necessary ; every harbor closed
by watching war vessels, and every stream
occupied by hostile gunboats; her soldiers
hungry, ragged nnd barefooted, she yet fought
with such tremendous power, and was wielded
with such skill, that the expenditure of money
to conquer was more than would have pur
chased every foot of her land, every house in
her cities and villages, every slave on her
plantations, and all her property of every
kind ; and the killed and permanently disabled
of her enemies amounted to more than her
entire armies during the whole struggle. You
may search history in vain ior a parallel.
Why is a grape vine like a soldier? Re

Noble Sentiments.
Tho Hon. S. S. Fisher, Commissioner of Pa
tents, in his speech at Arlington Heights at
the decoration of Federal graves, uses the fol
lowing noble and true language:
There is yet another lesson which we may
learn in their presence. The war cry is no
longer sounded. YVar's thunders have rolled
muttering away and tho skies an*e*bright after
the storm. Our heroes are sleeping side by
side with those whom they withstood in battle,
and they sleep in peace. In the graves dead
foes have stricken hands and proclaimed a
truce forever. Let the living strike hands also,
for we are not enemies but brethren. The no
bler part of man may? succumb.to a tempo
rary madness, but he is nevertheless a man,
and when the cloud has passed away he is to
be restored to a man’s loves, rights and privi
leges.
Brother, late our foe in bottle, but brother
still, this oountry was always our joint inheri
tance —this flag was always our joint banner.
The glory of our past belongs to both of us.
Our grandsires and our fathers stood side by
side in battle—sat side by side in council.
The glory of the future belongs to both of us.
This purified land ; this great united people ;
these broad acres,"stretching from ocean to
ocean, yet bound by a chord of commerce that
makes of oceans near neighbors and of moun
tains level plains ; this boundless wealth ; this
tireless energy ; this hunger for progress; this
thirst for knowledge,is yours—it is ours,and no
man can take it from us. YVe alone can des
poil and destroy the rich inheritance. Ovor
brothers’ graves let brothers’ quarrels die.—
Let there be peace between us; nay more, let
there be lore between us ; that these swords
that wo have learned so well to use may, if
ever used again, strika only at the common
foe. In a few days assemtded thousands in
the city of the Pilgrims will sing anthems of
peace. Let the song be taken up throughout
the land—by the shores of the great lakes, by
the waters of the gulf, in the land of the loom
and the spindle, in the land of gold, on bread
prairies, on sunny savannah—let the chorus
again and again break forth, “Peace on earth,
good will towards men.” Wo have had
enough of war. Too many widows’ weeds are
scattered in this throng; too many orphan
children are gazing upon this scene. Thank
God it’s over; and let us hope it will be revi
ved only in memory.

The New Orleans correspondent of the New
York YVorld, writes that tho Radical Legisla
ture licensed gambling hells. The result has
been an increase in the immorality incident to
such places. He thus writes :
“ One very remarkable incident of this le
galized system, an incident that will at once
strike those who know anything of this form
of vice, is the most entire absence of old or
even middle aged men from the tables. The
habiluea seem almost wholly young men, very
young men in fact, a man of thirty and upward
being seldom seen, and when seen, it is ten
chances to one but ho is some honest mechanic
who never frequented such places before, but
is now tempted to seek an increase of his week
ly wages from the cards. Os courso, in tho
great, the vast majority of cases, ho loses even
that which he has, and already, from the des
pair superinduced by this circumstance, by
being left penniless on the Saturday night,
several suicides of the workingmen have taken
place. Another industrial class that is fear
fully affected by these houses is the shop boys
and clerks. YVhen sent out to collect they are
in many cases induced or inveigled to play,
and though their losses may be concealed for
the time, in the end exposure and ruin como.
So great is tho evil that many business men are
now afraid to trust their cash at any stage in
the hands of their mote youthful employees,
and are forced to collect or deposit in bank
either in person or by their book keepers or
elderly elerks.
A little child in Columbus, Miss., playing
upon the upper balcony with a kitten, and
observing that there was a vacancy in the rail
ing around the balcony, attempted to sit in it,
but losing her balance, she fell over on to the
pavement below, crushing in her skull upon
one side, and rendering her senseless. Her
mother rushed out, and in her frantio misery
pressed the head of the child forcibly against
her bosom. This caused tbe depression in tbe
side of the head to disappear, and it is thought
tho child will recover.

Refreshingly Cool. .
Tho YVashington correspondent of the Bueke ,
County Intelligencer says in his last letter to
that paper: , •
Thcro is not a hamlet in the country where
tho Republicans in it do not make up three- ,
fourths of its temperate, religious and well to -
do citizens. So long as the Republican party .
absorbs two-thirds of the intelligence and tho ,
virtue of the poople it must have control of the
government. C
If it be true that the Republicans are such a
religious and virtuous set, it is a great pity
that so few of this kind get into public office. \
That party has beou in power eight years, in t
which time more crimes have been committed ,
by them than all the time the government was -
in existence before. But this is not the first
time hypocrites have worn the cloak of religion..
and virtue to serve the devil in. The self
righteous have but a slim chance of salvation.
This pretense of morality is only to draw off
the attention of the public from the real cul
prits, a trick well understood among rillians.

Neuralgic Headaches.
About ten years since I was laid up with an
excruciating headache, which seemed to encir
cle the ear of that side of the head alono affect
ed. The idea that the headache had something
to do with the ear as a centre occurred to me,
although in the ear itself there was no pain.
I had a little almond oil, and also spirits
dropped into tha ear, but without any good
effect: whon the thought suggested itself that
perhaps a little of tho anaesthetic other (not
tho nitric) might do good, by deadening tho
nervous pain. I had some drops of rectified
sulphuric ether, therefore, put into the car
and in the course of half an hour my headacho
was enterely gone.
I have since found, both from my own oc
casional experience, and that of others, that
ether so applied is, in nearly all cases, an ’
effectual cure of those very painful headaches,
faccaches, jawaebes and toothaches, which
aro commonly known as neuralgic and rheu
matic.
If a very severe case, two or three days may
elapse during which the pain may be apt to
recur, especially from new and even slight
exposure to draughts ; but repeated applica
tions, of half a dozen drops or less, of ether, at
a time, seem certain to subdue tbe most violent
attack, sometimes in a very few minutes. A
drop or two of almond or olive oil, afterwards
put into the ear, I have thought, tended to
protect from anew attack. As the ether some
times gives pain in the ear for a moment while
being applied, a single drop should, first of all,
be carefully put in, and then more, as the case
will allow ; but I have never suffered the least
bad effect, either in my hearing or otherwise
from the use of ether in this way, nor have I
heard any from others who have tried it at my
recommendation.—[Exchange.
While Judge Archer, of Marshall, Ind., was
removing some boxes from a shelf, a few days
since, a mouse jumped out of one of them and
into the mouth of the Judge, and started di»'*
roctly down his throat. The Judge, unlike
John Chinaman, did not relish the taste, and
after several hawks succeeded, despite the ef
forts of the mouse, in getting him out of his
throat into his mouth, but was rather slow in
getting hold of the “ little devil,” and he made
another attempt to get down the Judge’s throat,
but was again unsuccessful. YVhether the
mouse was trying to commit suicide, or wheth
er he wanted merely to “ revive the inner
man,” we have no way of ascertaining, but we
are assured that he was successful in scaring
the Judge considerably.—[Press & Times.
The Property Stolen in Georgia. —Why
not “tell the truth and shame the d—l” at
once by calling it stolen property and property
obtained by highway robbery ? Look at the
inventory—“YYatchos, diamonds, silver plats f
spoons, and laces.” Pretty subjects for cap
ture by a groat army engaged in the noble task
of “saving tho Union!” This property was
stolen, or taken away by force from unprotected
Georgia families by a brutal soldiery, many of
the diamonds having been wrung by violence
from tho bauds of females ; and in no sense
can they be considered “abandoned property,’’
except that they were stolen by abandoned
men. Ab there seems to bo some doubt as to
tho best mode of disposing of these trophies,
wc would suggest that the only honest way is
to send them back to Georgia, and lot some
officer of the GovernmJnt advertise a descrip
tive list and cal! for the rightful owners. And
this the Government will do if it is not as
mean as Butler himself.—[Sav. Rep.
