A Physician’s Testimony. I was called to see Mr. John Pearson, who was confined to his bed with what, appeared to 1)0 consumption of the worst form. As all of his family had died with that dread disease (except his half-brother), his death was regard e l as certain and soon. After exhausting all the remedies, 1 finally, as a last resort, sent for a bottle of Brewer’s Lung Restorer, and it acted like magic. lie continued the use of it for some time, and has been fully restored to health. So far as I could discover, he had con sumption, and Brewer’s Lung Restorer saved his life. IJ, O. HOLLOWAY, M. D. Barnesville, Ga. Another Rescue from Death. In 1881, while sewing on a machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from tier lungs, severe cough, fever, and she could nei ther eat nor sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. Her stomach re fused to retain any food, and the physician thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. At a final consultation of two physicians, her case was pronounced hopeless. I tried Brewer’s Lung Restorer, by advice of one of the physi cians, and she began to improvejtfter the third dose. She continued the medicine, Ana Is noW in excellent health, and 1s better than she has teen in several years. I believe Brewer’s Lung Restorer saved her life. BENJ. F. HEARNDON, Yatesville, Ga. From Macon. In August, 1881, it was discovered that my Ron’s wife was in the last stages of consump tion. She was coughing incessantly, and at times would discharge quantities of pus from her lungs, could not sleep or retain anything on her stomach, and we thought it only a question of time when life would be compelled to give way to the fell destroyer. After all other remedies had failed, we got Brewer’s Lung Re storer, and began it in very small doseß, as she was very weak. She soon began to improve; continued the remedy, and was restored to life and health; and is to-day better than she has ever been before. I regard her restoration as nearly a miracle, for which she is indebted to Brewer’s Lung Restorer. It. W. BONNER, Macon, Ga.

Some months ago I bought a bottle of Dr. J. Bradfield’B Female Regulator, and used it in my family with great satisfaction. I have recommended it to three families, and they have found it to be just what is claimed for it. The families who have used it are now in perfect health and able to attend to their household duties. Rev. 11. B. Joiinson. State of Georgia, Troup Cnunty. I liaye examined the lecipe of Joseph Bradfield, and pronounce it to be a combi nation of medicines of gjyat merit in the treatment of all diseases* of females for which he recommends it. Wm. P. Beasley, M. D. Dr. J. Bradfield: Dear Sir— My daugh ter lias been suffering for many years with that dreadful affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost me. many dollars, and notwithstanding I had the best medicai attendance, could not find relief. I have used many other kinds ot medicines without any effect. I had just about given lier up, was out of heart, but happened in the store of W. W. Uckler several weeks since, and he, knowing of my daughter’s affliction, per suaded me to buy a bottle of your Female Regulator. She began to improve at once. I was so delighted with its effects that I bought several more bottles of it; and, knowing what Ido about it, if to-day one of my Family was suffering with that awful disease, I would have it if it cost SSO a bot tle, for I can truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well; myself and wife do most heartily recommend your Female Regulator to be just what it is represented to be.

Lead tliy mother tenderly Down life’s steep decline; Once her arm was thy support, Now she leans on thine. See upon her loving face Those deep lines of care; Think—it was her toil for thee That left that record there. Ne’er forget her tireless watch. Kept by day and night, • Taking from her step the grace And from her eye the light. . Cherish well her faithful heart, Which, through weary years. Echoed with its sympatiiy All thy stniles and team. Thank God toy tViv mother’s love, Guard the priceless boon; For the hitter parting hour Cometh all too soou. When thy grateful tenderness Loses power to save. Earth will hold no, dearer spot Than thy mother’s grave. HIS MOTHER'S PRAYER. THE RINGING OFTHEBELL BRINGS IT TO MIND. A TOUCHING STORY OF A MOTHER’S BOUNDLESS DEVOTION.— HOW ITS RECITAL CHANGED THE TENOR OF SIX LIVES. About thirty-three years ago, one lovely Sabbath moruingeightvoung law students were strolling aloDg the bank of one of the tributaries of the Potomac river. They were going to a secluded spot in the grove to murder the precious hours of that holy day in playing “whist” and drinking wine. Each of them was a son of a praying mother. As they were sauntering along and amusing each other with idle jests, the court-house bell—used for call ing the Presbyterians to their house of worship—commenced to ring. Al though fully two miles away.it soun ded in the ears of those thought less youths as plainly as if it were upon the other shore of that narrow creek. Suddenly one of them stop ped, and told him who writes this account thereof that he would go rj} farther, but tjiat he would re turn to town and go to church. Then your correspondent shouted to the other six, who were a short distance ahead ; “Boys, boys, come back here; George is getting re ligion. Come, we must assist him, we must baptize him by immersion in the water.” Speedily we all sur rounded George, aud told him that only by going with us could he save himself from a cold bath, to which, in a calm, soft but easy tone of voice, he replied : “I know very well that you have the physical ability to put me into the stream, and hold me there till I am drowned, and if you choose, you can do so without my showing resistance; but before you do, I have a few words to say, and then I will yield without a struggle. You all know that I am nearly two hun dred miles from home, but you do not know, as I now propose telling you that my mother is helpless and bed-ridden. I cannot remember ever having seen her out of her bed and, I never did see her out of her room. I am the youngest of the family. Whon my father concluded to send me here "to get the benefit of our preceptor’s instruction—he and my father having been life-loug personal friends, and he charges nothing for my tuition—he could scarcely prevail upon my mother to consent to my leaving her. The struggle almost cost her what lit tle life she possessed. At length, after many prayers upon the sub ject, she consented and the neces sary preparations for my departure from home were speedily comple ted. My mother never spoke to me on the matter till the morning on which I left for the East. Then, after I had eaten breakfast, she sent for me and asked if I had ev erything ready and properly pack ed. I told her that all was comple ted, and that I would be off as soon as the stage came for me. Kneeling beside her bed, at her request, with her loving hands on my head, she prayed for her youngest born. Many and many a night since, I have dreamed that whole scene over. It is the happiest recollection in my memory. I believe to the day of my death I will be able to repeat every word of that prayer. When she ceased praying, she spoke to me thus: “My precious son, you know not —indeed, you never can know—the agony of a mother’s heart when parting forever with her last born — to her still a babe. When you go forth from beneath the home of your nativity, to pursue the 3tudy of your profession, and of your dear father’s choosing as well, you will for the last time this side of the grave look upon the face of her who loves you as no other mor tal does or can. Your father is not able to pay you expenses for mak ing visits home during the two years of your course of studies. I cannot , possibly live so long as that. The j sands in the hour-glass of my feeble existence have nearly run out. I have, therefore, had a severe strug gle, for I heard jonr kind, indul gent father assuring you that the whole case rested with me—that, although you migblrnever have an other such favorable offer, nothing could possibly induce him to Set in the matter against my wishes ; so T have yielded. In that distant and strange place to which you are going, there will be no l<?viug moth er to whom you cam apply for coun sel when assailed,by tei*ptationd. You imfst, thereiolti; w*ile u Lov, leArk trf* rely on yourstdf—to*,*’ ‘no,’ when urged to do wrong. I cannot be with you, bat I will daily commit you to the care of God, who is everywhere present, behold ing your evil acts as well as your good deeds. Every Sabbath morn ing, from 10 to 11 o’clock, I will sjteud the hour in prayer for you. Wherever you may be” during that blessed hour, when you hear the church bells ringing for the assem bling of God’s people, let your thoughts carry you to this chamber of death, where your dying mother will be agonizing in prayer. Com mit to memory the eighth,ninth and tenth verses of the first chapter of Proverbs. I hear the stage coming. Kiss me farewell. Now, the last words you will hear from my lips are in the language of Solomon : “My sou, if sinners entice thee, con sent thou not.” When he had finished, he and we were all weeping. Involuntarily we had opened the ring which we had formed around him. Unmolested he passed out and went to church. He had stood up against fearful odds and each of us admired him for doing that which neither of us had the courage to undertake— break away from wicked compan ions and go to church. He had left without a word and silently we all followed. Without either one knowing that any other, had done so, too, each of us managed to throw his cards and flask into the creek, so that by the time we reached the church every pocket was emptied of its former contents. Never again did any of that little company play any games on the Sabbath. Six of them have gone to their longhomes, each a Christian. Only two of us are yet living—George, an able lawyer in lowa, and your corres pondent. Both of us have been church members for years. THE LICENSE SYSTEM. The Columbus District Confer ence of the M. E. Church, South, which was recently in session at Talbotton passed the following res olution by a large majority : “ Resolved, That we pledge our selves as individual members of this conference that we will vote for no candidate for the Legislature —or any candidate for official po sition, who is not willing iu legis lation upon the liquor traffic to con tribute his influence iu favor of prohibition.” The Macon Daily Telegraph and Messenger comments as follows : “We do not consider it the part of wisdom, even from the standpoint of temperance, to make ‘prohibit ion’ an issue in the election of members of the Legislature. The progress made by prohibition in Georgia, within the past few years, has been due to local option methods. Make prohibition a political question and a reaction will set in against it,and many counties will return to the li cense system. Mark the predic tion.” To which we would add our opin ion that a well regulated and strict ly enforced system of high license, giving to lager beer and wine as the least harmfnl beverages the benefit of the lowest rate in the scale, and exaoting the very high est from whisky and similar strong drink, because of their baleful ef fects, would operate to the best ad vantage under existing circumstan ces. High license, with every local and State statute already existing vigorously enforced would, we are confident, work a beneficial change, and would keep the subject within the bounds which reasonably ought to limit it.—Atlanta Journal. —The Planters Journal is of the opinion that the low price of wheat, the great staple of the northwest, which is steadily falling in value, will make lands in that section so much less desirable that inside a year tide of immigration will stead ily turned toward the south where more profitable agriculture can be followed. —A Baptist Doctor of Divinity said, some time since, that his brother, wuen he began preaching, bought a horse to carry him to his appointments, relying on his in come as a preacher for the means of payment; but his first year’s salary was two pairs of cotton socks four yams and a quart of Sorghum syrup!

I know not if it has ever been in plant. President Jefferson said that it was worth a # voyage across the Atlantio (before steamships) to view the aw ful grandeur of the gorge at Har per’s Ferry. The wonderful valley between the Alleghany and Blue Ridge chains extends from Penn- YV LUISA BOubtU ern streams find easy kccess to the gull through the Tennessee river, those farther north flow evJfc and through mountain passes into the Kanawa and James rivers. Still farther north, where the great val ley widens into a plain the Shen andoah masses the springs of.eith er range and glides to a meeting of the waters, far exceeding the beauty of Ovoca, where the Potomac pier ces the Blue Ridge. Such perfect types of the Beautiful, with its soft sweeping curves, and the Pictures que, with its awful angularity, are seldom brought so close together. But to the legend. Waking from his tiny bed on the crest of the AUeghanies, the little streamlet started on its journey with current scarce sufficient to slake the mock-bird’s thirst. It sought its mother’s home, the dis tant sea. Leaping down precipices, gurgling over the gravel, purling through the forests and singing in the valleys, it hied along, a joy to fish, and beast, and man. Wind ing across the broad plain of the Shenandoah, it met the obstructing Blue Ridge. Two thousand feet athwart its way rose the opposing range. Love hath not fear—inno cence knows naught of despair. In gentlest accents of faith the prayer went forth. “Oh, Mighty Moun tain, pass me, I pray thee, to my mother, the murmuring Sea.” Scornfully the frowning rocks re plied, “Trifler, away !” Sadly re sentful the little thing rejoined, “I go, indeed, rude monster, and I return to force, not ask, a passage.” The lordly Sun, with rays ot light, kissed up bis sorrowing child in fleecy vapor. Eastern breezes bore it to its native peaks, escorted by ten thousand clouds from Ocean sent. Again the forests and valleys echo to the singing hills. Little Potomac, attended by a thousand sisters, hurries from the heights. Like tented hosts, they spread o’er all the plain. Widening and deep ening, as if to rival the volume of Chesapeake, they swell up to the the brow of the scornful ridge. It yields, it.breaks, and the conquer ing floods rush through, tearing the gorge to its lowest base. And so the cheery children reach the em brace of Ocean mother. There is a moral to this legend, worthy of a purer civilization than the red man’s. Milledgeville. —Some years ago we had in our employ a man who several times a day ran out of the office to buy a drink of whiskey. Every time he went out the cashier was instruct ed to drop ten cents in the drawer to our credit. At the end of sev enteen months, the man who had gone out so often had drank himself out of a good situation, and the drawer, when opened, was found to contain four hundred and nine dol lars, which we loaned to a young mechanic at seven per cent, inter est. He used it to purchase a set of tinner’s tools. On the fifteenth of February, 1876, he returned it to us with interest, saying, in his letter, that he had a wife, two chil dren, and property worth five hun dred dollars. The other fellow is hunting for food.—Pomeroy’s Dem ocrat. ; a— —Those, who are in the habit ot attributing all financial and com mercial troubles to Wall street will be interested to learn that business is fully as stagnant and depressed in every country in Europe as it is here. Aooording to the last re ports from Great Britian steamers representing the value of a million of dollars are laid np in ports. More than 120 steamers are lying idle on the Tyne alone. —A young wife who thought she was losing her husband’s affection went to a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter for a love pow der. The mystery-woman told her : "Get a raw piece of beef, cut flat, about half an inch thick. Slice an onion in two and rub the meat oo both sides with it. Put on pepper and salt, and toast it on each side over a red coal fire. Drop on it three lumps of butter and two sprigs of parsley, and get him to eat it.” The young wife did so* and Jier husband loved her ever af ter.
