Gents:—For 16 years I have been a greatsuf

lorras. 1 have been confined to my room and
bed lor 15 years with scrofulous ulcerations.
The most approved remedies for such cases had
been used, and the most eminent physicians
consulted, without any decided benefit’ Thus
prostrated, distressed, desponding, I was ad
vised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd county, Ga., to
commence the use ot your Compound Extract
Stillingia. Language is as insufficient to de
scribe the relief 1 obtained from the use of the
Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea oi

medicine; sufficient to say, i abandoned all

am cured of all disease, with nothing to on

A MIRACLE.
Gents:—My daughter was taken on the 25th
day of June, 1863, with what was supposed to
be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the
same with no success. Iu March, following,
pieces of bone began to work out of the right
arm, and continued to appear till all the
bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came
out. Many pieces of bone came out of the
right loot and leg. The case was the upro
nounced one of White Swelling. After hav
ing been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, I was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Ex
tract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied
with its effects that I have continued use of the
it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about
six years before she sat up or even turned over
w ithout help. She now sits up all day, and
sews most of her time—has walked across the
room. Her general health is now' good, and I
believe she will, as her limbs gain strength,
w alk well. I attribute her recovery, with the
nlessing of God, to the use of your invaluable
medicine. With gratitude, I am, yours truly,

Greeting and Congenial Salutations
from The Detroit Free Press.
From the unlimited words of praise that have
been bestowed upon it, the conclusion is fixed
that The Detroit Free Press is the most popular
journal in existance. Not that it has the
greatest circulation —though for that matter
Few papers have a more extended one—but that
the most profound affection for it exists among
those who read and know its merits.
Certain it is that no journal contains so many
attractive qnd original features.
Enjoyable in the highest degree, its tone is
the purest, its literary standard tne most ex
cellent.
It combines to a surprising extent in its
well-filled pages the grace, learning, wit, hu
mor, versatility and genius of the American
people.
Unique among newspapers, sprightly and
readable in every portion—it is edited with so
much tact, intelligence and care, that readers
of every class find it, above all others, the one
that satisfies!
Varied are its departments and it.) contents—
the whole a most judicious combination. If
any one may liken intellectual to material
things its field of story, poetry, correspon
dence, anecdote, wit, humor, sentiment, histo
ry, belles letters, knowledge in its illimitable
extent—may be compared to a well ordered
banquet. And around this superb feast in all
its completeness bounteously laid with contri
butions from every clime, sits the blessed spirit
of fraternity and good fellowship!
And then “The Household,” the bright, sym
pathetic and kindly “Household!” No de
scription should be offered of “The Household;”
ic is a feature original and unsurpassed, and
none can fail to appreciate it.
The Weekly Free Press and “The House
hold” together are furnished at $2 a year.
Clubs of five, $1 75 eath, liberal commis
sions allowed local agents.

Watching With Christ.
[Sunday-School Times.]
Wiiy did our Lord want his disci
ples to watch with him that night In
tne garden? It was not to witness
his agony, for he went on beyond
them. It was not to share his con
flict, for this they could not do. We
talk about sharing each other’s sor
rows and struggles, but, as a matter
of fact, there is no such thing as com
panionship in living. We may re
ceive counsel from friends; we may
be cheered and nerved by them ; but
periences. Others may hold the lamp
of comfort to shine upon the gloom
of our sorrows, but thesorrows them
selves no one can share. When we
are struggling in temptation human
or angelic friends may minister to us,
but we must fight the buttle alone.
Lives are like drops of water, they
touch at a few points, but remain for
ever separate. The picture we see in
the garden is a picture of all life. The
disciples could not share the Master’s
agony.
Yet while we must meet life’s ex
periences absolutely alone, we want
our friends near to us when we pass
through sorrow or conflict. And this
is what we see in Gethsemane. The
disciples could not shield the Master
from his woe. They could not light
en the awful burden by so much as a
feather’s weight; nor drink one drop
of the hitter cup which was being
pressed to his lips; yet he wanted
them near- He took them with him
that while he endured his intense
grief he might know that his dearest
friends were not far away. This was
why he arose three times from his
struggle and went hack to them. He
wanted to gather a little strength
from their sympathy and love. There
are human experiences that will help
us to understand this longing of
Christ for the nearness of his friends
in that hour. A child does uot like
to go to bed alone in a dark room;
but when some sits near all dread
passes away. Or it awakes in the
night while the storm rages, and
cries out in alarm. The father comes
and lies down beside it. The sform
does not cease, but the little one falls
asleep in sweet peace. When we who
are older are passing through some
sore trial, we want our tried friends
to keep close to us. They cannot
make the sorrow less hitter, nor take
upon themselves any part of the bur
den ; yet their very presence makes
us leel stronger, and we want them
to come closii beside us and not leave
us till the trial is past.
That was what our Lord wanted
that night. He desired his disciples
to keep near him, and wake and
watch while he suffered, that he
might not be altogether alone. How
disappointed he was, then, when he
came hack to get renewal of strength
from their waking love, to fiud them
asleep! It is one of the saddest ele
ments in his suffering that night,that
he did not even have the little help
which human sympathy could have
given.
The practical question which arises
here is, “What are the ways in which
we may watch, or fail to watch, with
Christ?” He wants us to watch yet
with him in the attitude of friend
ship. We have such thoughts of the
infinite fullness and self-sufficing of
Christ, in his glory, that it seems to
us inconceivable that he should need
or miss the little love that our hearts
can give to him. Yet even in his
ineffable majesty he hungers for the
affection of his friends.
Hancock—Gettysburg—Pennsylvania.

saved Philadelphia from fire and
spoil? Who drove back the enemy,
and who saved us from a fate of which
Chambersburg and Carlisle and the
forced contributions upon YYirk were
intended to be grim preparations? A
brave army of patriotic citizens, led
by three Pennsylvania generals—
George Gordon Meade, of Philadel
phia ; John Fulton Reynolds, of Lan
caster, and Winfield Scott, Hancock,
of Montgomery. Meade and Reynolds
are both gone. Meade died on the
6th of November, 1872, in the house
presented to his wife by the people
of Philadelphia, afterwards supple
mented by a contribution of SIOO,OOO
from the same source. Reynolds
was killed in battle on the 2d of July,
and is buried at Lancaster. Hancock
is to-day the democratic candidate
for president ot the United States,
To shoiv how I felt at the critical
moment, seventeen years ago, I re
print what I wrote in the Press on
Tuesday, the 7th of July, 1863, not
only to prove my plain duty to Gen.
Hancock, as the survivor of this glo
rious triumvirate, but also the duty
of all the people of Philadelphia to
that incomparable soldier. I recall
it at once as a personal pledge and
promise, and the solemn covenant of
a great community to a great soldier:
“Meanwhile, the army of the Poto
mac, suddenly placed under the com
mand of General Meade, whom we
are proud to claim as a fellow-citizen,
hastened forward and fell upon the
rash and tudacious enemy. We know
the result. Neither our children nor
our chidren’s children, to the remot
est generation, shall ever forget or
fail to remember it with a thrill of
gratitude and honest pride. The
rebels were assailed with unexam
pled fury, and the gallant General
Reynolds, a Pennsylvanian soldier,
laid down his life. The struggle raged
for several days, the losses on both
sides were fearful, and still the result
seemed doubtful. If we should fail,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
perhaps New York, would be doom
ed. In this crisis of the nation’s fate
it was Pennsylvania that came to the
rescue. It was General Hancock, a
Pennsylvariiau, who so nobly bore
the brunt of the battle on Cemetery
Hill.”
—A wheat field in Sissafras Neck,
Cecil county, Maryland, which was
invaded by the army worm in full
force has turned out about thirty
bushels to the acre. There was not
a beard or blade to be seen, indica
ting that the worms had done their
work well.
Judge Black’s Letter to Gen. Hancock.
The republicans are everywhere
showing a letter written to Mr. Gar
field by Judge Rlack in regard to the
connection with the credit mobilier
fraunds. But the most favorable pos
sible light in which that letter can be
placed is a gloomy shade in compari
son with the following letter written
by the same hand to Gen. Hancock,
when the celebrated order No. 40 was
promulgated. The ring of this letter
carries with it the warmth of the
heart, whereas that to Garfield was
,I,u com work of the legal brain :

My Dear General This moment
I read your admirable order. I am
much engaged, but I cannot resist
the temptation to steal time enough
from clients to tell you how grateful
you have made me by your noble
and patriotic behavior.
Yours is the first, most distinct and
most emphatic recognition which the
principle of American liberty has re
ceived at the hands of any high offi
cer in a southern command. It has
the very ring of the revolutionary
metal. Washington never said a
thing in better taste or better time.
It will prove to all men that “peace
hath her victories not less renowned
than those of war.” I congratulate
you, not because it will make you the
most popular man in America, for I
dare say you care nothing about that
but because it will give you through
all time the solid reputation of a true
patriot and a sincere lover of your
country, its laws and its government.
This, added to your brilliant achieve
ments as a soldier, will leave you
without a rival in the affections of
all those whose good will is worth
having, and give you a place in his
tory which your childron will be
proud of.
This acknowledgment from me
does not amount to much, but I am
expressing only the feelings of mil
lions, and expressing them feebly at
that. With profound respect, yours,
etc., J. S. Black.
To Maj. Gen. Hancock.
How to Keep Out Flies.
A lady writes ol her experience
with flies. “For three years I have
lived in town, and during that time
my sitting room has been free from
flies, three or four only walking
about ray breakfast table, while all
my neighbors room were crowded.
I then had occasion to move my
goods to another house, while I re
mained for a few days longer.
Among other things moved were
two bokes of geraniums and caiceo
rarias, which stood in ray windows,
being always open to their fullest
extent, top and bottom. The boxes
were not gone half an hour before
my room was as full of flies as those
around me. This to me, is anew
discovery, and perhaps it may serve
to encourage others in that which is
always a source of pleasure, viz:
window gardening. Mignonette
planted in long shallow boxes, plac
ed on the window sill, will be found
excellent for this purpose.

AT FIFTY-THREE.
My feet have on the stairs remained,
My limbs have yet the strength to climb;
Just now another step was gained
Upon the steep, rough ledge of Time.
Rut cling and clamber as I may,
The strength must fail which fails to all;
Somewhere, I know, upon the way,
I’m doomed to stumble, faint and fall.
It may be that the steps, alas,
Now severed from the broken stairs,
Which stood but till my feet could pass,
Then crashed into the vanished years—
It may be those, so brief to count,
Though others onward endless stretch,
ere all that 1 was sent t) mount,
And one, one more, I cannot reach.
All, be it thus or otherwise,
To Thee, O Uod, for help I call!

h adqu trh is om> morning: “Senator

pension question was one of the best
ever delivered in that hall, and it
should be made a campaign document

wise they will scatter that speech’

over the United States. It will dis

and earnest tril ute to his colleague,
in which he praised his discretion,
his sagacity and his inflexible patri
otic sentiments.

ugly cns'omers, I can tell you, for an
old senator to meet, much less anew
one. But Mr. Brown never lost his
balance an instant. He met them
squarely, calmly and with such force
and frankness that Conkling, as he
sat down, said : ‘I am convinced the
senator is discussing this question

was a great one—not in the sense of
showy or tinged eloquence, but in the
depth and breadth of its statesman

its information, and the direct and
incomparable common sense and com
mon justice on which it is based. I
look to see Senator Brown one of the
most notable men in the country if
he comes back to the next session.”
Senator McDonald, of Indiana, re
ply* ng to my inquiry on the subject,
said: “He is one of the most valuable
additions to the democratic force in.
the senate for years. More than that
he is a senator whose influence will
be felt all over the country. He
seemed to recognize instantly upon
coming into the senate that it was
not a debating society, but strictly a
practical business body. He there
fore became at once a sensible,straight
forward, sagacious worker, and won
the confidence and esteem of both
sides of the chamber. lie can boa
power for good in the practical ques
tions that must be settled now that
sentimental issues have died out.”
Altogether our new senator seems
to have made himself felt in the sen
ate, and to have illustrated Georgia
nobly.
The Great Meteor Found Imbedded in
a Tree.
The information conies to us that
the grand meteor that so startled the
community a few nights since, mak
ing women shriek and strong men
tremble, illuminating the the heav
ens and all the earth, was found yes
terday by some boys, embedded in
the forks of a tree several miles from
from town, in Bibb county.
It seems to have fallen with great
force, burying itself so deep in the
tree that it had to be cut out with an
axe. The meteor is about the size of
a man’s head, and of an amalgama
tion of iron and stone. That it is
the same one that passed over oui!
city a fs*v nights since there can be
no doubt. It was found in the di
rect line that the great meteor was
seen to be going, and the substance
of the meteor was bright and clear,
