D;ai Sir—We have good reason for re
garding jour VEGETINE a medicine of the

tie means of saving our son’s life He is now
seventeen years of age ; fei the last two years
be has suffered from necrosis of bis leg, caused
bv scrofulous affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him the ught his re
covery impossible A council of able physi
cians could give ug but the faintest hope of
ids ever rallying. Iwo of the number declaring
that he was beyond the reach of human rfgu
'dits, that lven amputation could not save
him, an he had not vigor enough to endure the
operation Just then we commenced giving
him Vegetine, and from that time to the pres
ent he has been continuously improving He
ha. lately resumed his studies, thrown away
crutches and cane, and walks about cheerflly
and strong
Though there is still some discharge from
the opening where the limb was lanced, we
have the fullest confidence that in a lictle
time he will be perfectly cured
He has taken about three dozen bottles of
Vegetine, but late y nses but little, as he de
clares that he is too well to be taking medicine

Turning Gray.
Life g sands are running fast away,
The bouyant step of youth haß gone,
The falling haii is turning gray.
And time seems now to hurry on
More fleetly than in days of yore.
Before tbe heart became its prey,
Before ’twas saddened to the core,
Before the hair was turning gray.
Yes, turning gray ! age comes like snow
Ah’ still, and carves each caruuorn line ;
Its wrinkles on the brow will grow,
The hair with silvery streaks will shine.
The eyes their brightness lose, tbe hand
Grow d~y and tremolous and thin ;
For life, alas, is quickly spanue ',
And death its gates soon closes in I
Ah, turning gray ! we fain would hi le.
This sign how long with time W ve been ;
Those deepened wrinkles side by side
Cut by the sorrows we have seen.
For feeble beats the heart as years
More quickly cluster on our head
As Autumn raindrops hang like tears
On some fair flower that’s nearly dead.
Like perished petals from the flower
Our hopes and wildest joys are laid,
Born only for a day or honr,
Sweet gambols by the fancy played.
As age comes on we long for rest,
As saints near shrines will long to pray ;
Buts: ill we love that time the best
Before the hair was turning giay !
The military demonstration of the con
spirators at Washington ngainst the right
of suffrage has occasioned moro alarm in
the public mind than wa6 ever before ex j
cited by any act of despotic power ever
perpetrated by any despotic King. The
miserable pretense that Federal soldiers
are required to protect the returning
board of any State from violence, only
adds insult to injury, for where no crime
is contemplated no fear of puuisliment
need be apprehended. The guilty
wretches who, at the bidding ol their
corrupt masters, are willing to change
the returns in Louisitna, South Carolina
and Florida, from a legal majority lor
Tilden to a fraudulent one for Ilayes,
know very well that it ‘they succeed in
committing the outrage they will raise a
storm of indignation among the people,
the consequences ot which no human
hand can avert. This ; s no longer a mere
question of party supremacy. It is not
simply whether Tilden or Hayes snail be
President of the United Sta’es. Tbe
issue has passed far beyond the mere
tansi nt strnggleof parties or partisans,
and has resolved into the most moment
ous question that ever was presented to a
free people for their decision. If the
present designs of the great conspirators
are'carried into effect and approved by
the American people, then free represent
lative government in the United States
is at an end, and the foulest and most
filthy military despositism the world ever
saw will be established on the ruins of
the republic. Theie is not a single one
of the Republican leaders who honestly
believes in the necessity of the ext.ieme
measures recently inaugurated, except
tor the pnrpase of declaring Hayes elec
ted in direct opposition to the popular
will. Every one of them knows that
Tilden has been fairly chosen President,
and that the people have decided that
their corrupt dynasty shall pass away
forever. For sixteen long aud dreary
years they have ruled the government
and perpetuated every infamy that was
possible to be conceived. They robbed
the nation with impunity, and never for
a moment halted in their unbridled wick
edness. They parceled out the public
plunder among their hungry dependents
and then attempted to destroy the rec
ords ot their guilt and shame. And now,
when the day of retribution has comp—
when the people have reoolyed that new
men shall take charge of the government
they have gone one step further in
crime, ard have boldly announced that
they will deiy the sovereign will of the
masses and treat a Presidential election
as if it never had been helJ. And to
accomplish this purpose—to aid them in
them complete destruction of the elec
tive franchise —they have summoned the
assistance of Federal soldiers, and hope,
by the help of bristling bayonets, to keep
temsclves in power as long as the gov.
eminent remains in existence. Whether
bayonets or ballots shall rule is now the
only issue, and no faishood or sophis.
try can give it any other shape or color.
This, freemen of America! is the
groat and all-absorbing question ot the
hour fairly stated, which every man who
loves his country must qow examine for
himself. It is one that comes home to
every honest household, no matter what
party predilections may there be ente:-
tained, and without reference to what
party interests may be affected by its
decision. The weal or woe growing out
ot iis settlement will be felt in thiscounr
try by generations yet unborn. We

In God’s name let this unmanly strife lie

to ‘cry havoc and let slip the dogs of

struggle are not yet healed, 2nd Rachel,
for her children crying, is not yet com

es us be fully undi rstood. Let us not
blindly overlook the frightful peril ot the
hour, unmistakably indicated by the
warning temper of the times—the iron
determination of the outraged masses
not to be juggled with or swindled out
of their inalienable rights—the irrevoc-*
ble and unalterable resolve of the people
not to permit a clearly fraudulent return
to be recorded as a fair and honest vote
—the apoalling consciousness rooted in
every breast that there is something even
uor e and more to be deplored than war
or death. The spirit of Liberty is not
y.t dead in onr midst. It still lives and
m ves and has its being in the hearts of
f .ny millions of freemen. Its calm aud
earnest protest against the evil machin
ery of corrupt and heartless demegogues
will dispel the clouds and effectually
check these ‘bold artificers of ruin.' The
love of right, the sense of justice and the
oinn : potence of truth, accompanied with
the inflexible purpose of the majority that
their will shall rule, will in good season
and in their own gcod way rebuke the
paltry tricksters who are now playing
the spendthrift with this great occasion,
and calm the troubled waters with w ords

MOTHER’S GRAVE.
A Touching Tribute of Affection
by a Little Orphan Girl.
Out in the northwestern part of the
city there is an old fire scarred building
which stands as a mournful relic of a once
happy home. It is said that the house
itself has a his’cry which would be inter
estiug if known, for it was onffe the
the abode of love and prosperity, but the
pitiless demon ot the wine cup breathed
upon it aud blasted its beauty forever.
The history of every oily, however, is
too full of such incidents to claim the
special attention of mankind. When the
sad tale is first brought to notice, perhaps
a regret will spring up, but it soon dies
and is buried deep beneath the load of
dead hopes of which every heart is tbe
sepulchre. The world would never have
known ot the existence of this shattered
old cottaire had not a gentleman, who
live# in tha vicinity, stopped the llerald
representative and told him ot a touch
ing little incident which the charred old
walls witnessed a short lime ago. The
house was so small and the weeds and
gress around it so rank and tall that the
passer-by would scarcely notice it, for
the blackened beams and rafters are
barely visible above the uncut groweth.
One day a little lame girl, who is well
known in the vicinity of the old house,
discovered a slender plant of the month
ly rose variety, which had grown up
within the old walls from a root or seed
cast by chance in the rich mold, strug
gling feebly against the choking grass
for its exiiistonce. The litilj girl found
the stunted bush and her eyes filled with
joy. Her father’s grave, into which the
fierce flame ot his appetite and maddened
despair had hurried him, was in a distant
land ; and her heart broken mother rest
ed in Prospect Hill. The little girl was
alone in the world, and lived with a
queer old couple, whoa* heart* felt kind
ly toward the little o-phan; bat they
saw nothing more in a rose than they
would in a common weed. It was sev
eral weeks ago when the gentleman's at
tention was attracted to the old house by
the regular visits of the little orphan
cripple, and, filled with curioaity, he
watched when she entered ths crumbling
walls, and saw her tenderly care fot the
shrub, as it it were a being endowed
with the same feeling' and emotions
which throbbed in her own breaat. Day
by day the little orphan watched the
bush. When the wind moaned loudly
she trembled with fear, lest it should in
jure it; and when ,fae rain drops fell, she
hoped they would not strike the leaves
100 ha shly. No watcher on the wall of
a besieged city* was ever more faithful j
j and vigilant; no death-bed nurse wa
ever more lender and constant. A bw
weeks ago she found a bui on ihe bindi
and her joy was most extravagant. She
lore away the boards that hid it from
the sunshine, and stop the craoks in the
crazy wall to keep out the rude, north
ern blasts. A week ago the bud had
swollen and was almost, ready to burst
out into a deep, rich, red velvety rose,
and she Went home happy to think that
on the morrow there woo'd he the por
ted flower as a reward for her careful,
tender care. But that night Ihe frost
was unusually severe ; thin ice formed
on the water, and when the little cripple
girl went to the house, her heart all ag
low with expectant joy, she found the
frost had been there before her, and the
hall opened bud was drooping, head
downward, on its blackened stem. But
she carefully plucked the limp and faded
beauty, and that evening people driving
to Prospect Hill in the chill October air,
saw a little lame child tenderly drop u
deep red rosebud on one of the graves
fliat, was marked by nothing save a little
wooden slab, upon which was painted in
rude, childish characters, “m-o-t-h-e r;”
no other ornament, no ether flower. It
sank away in the dry grass, and sparkled
and shone like a star ot right, and when
a tear of the child fell upon it, its lustre
was like that of a diamond. For days
and weeks she had watched over and
tended the flower for the grave over
which no marble cast its shadow—a
a grave so like thousands of others, that
only love could have told the child that
a mother’s heart was tuolderiug there.—

Fronds an J Neighbors: Having just

1 shall deal in “familiar spirits’ which

the comforts, augment tlie expenses, and
endanger the welfare of the communi
ty.
I will undertake, at a short notice, for
a small sum, and with great expedition,
to prepare victims for the asylums, the
poor houses, the prisons and the gallows.
I will furnish an article which will in
ciease the number of l.ital accidents,
mu'tiply the number of distressing dis
eases, and render those which are harm
less incurable.
I slirll deal in drugs which will deprive
some ot life, many of reason, most of
property, and all of peace; which will
cause the fathers to become fiends, wives
widows, children orphans, and all mendi
cants.
I will cause many of the rising gener
ation to grow up in ignorance, and prove
a burden and nuisance lo the nation.
I will cause mothers to forget their ofl
spring, and cruelty to take the place of
love.
I will sometimes even corrupt minis
ters of religion, obstruct the progress ot
the gospel, defile the purity of the
church, and cause temporal, spiritual and
eternal death ; and if any should be so
impertinent as to sk why I have the
audacity to bring such accumulated mis
