In a great many oases a sing e (lose hug t een sufficient for a cure, and whole families have heen cured by a single bottle, w ith a per ! feet restoration of the general health It is, however I prudent, and in every case more ceitaln to cure, if its use Is continued in smaller doses for a week or two ah i ViTJ the disease has been checked, more especially in turn cult and long standing cases.

On the con trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing you is to find out upon tvhat terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I cau get it i upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lan aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the ! teachings and practice of a great majority or the reg- ! ular line of M.

However, lamby no tut ana an ad- 1 vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all i manner of disease to which hum in llesh is heir.— j Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. 1 I am, sir, most respectfully, JULIUS I\ CLEMENT, M.

Being moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I have not sat up a moment since 1 was wounded! I am shot through the hips.

At thirteen years of age he had a chronic diarrhoea and scrofula, for which I gave him your Sarsaparilla. IT CURED HIM. I have for ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio, and lowa, for scrofula, fever seres, and general debili ty. Perfect success has attended it. The cures effect ed in some cases of scrofula ansi fever sores were almost miraculous. lam very anxious for my son to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.

BRADFIEX.D, Druggist, WAITEHALL STREET, ATLANTA, GA. ‘ feb 20, 1869 m; i»/ ISpJcndirl Specimen of wtjcls , Preaching. At a meeting of ministers in Bristol, the Rev. Mr. L. invited several of Jiit? brethren to supper vrith him; and among the rest, was the minister offic iating at the Welch chapel there. He was an entire stranger to all the com pany, and silently attentive to the gen eral conversation of his brethren.— The subject in discussion was the dis-, ferent strains of public preaching.— I When several had given their opinion, and had mentioned several as good preachers, Air. L. turned to the Welch I stranger and solicited Iris opinion.— Ho said he ft It it his duty to comply ' with his request : “Although,” continued he, “if I must give my opinion, I should think that you have no good preaching.” “No!” exclaimed Mr. L. “No i” said the stranger, “that is, ; you have no such preaching as we have ' in the principality.” “I know,” rej lied Air. L. “that you are famous for jumping in Wales, but that is not owing, I suppose, to the matter of preaching as to the enthusi asm of the character.” “Indeed,” said the stranger, “you would jump too, if you heard and un derstood such preaching.” “Why,” said Air. L. “do you not think that I could make them jump, if I were to preach to them ?” “You make them jump !” exclaimed the Welchman, “you make them jump! A Welchman would set tire to the world whilst you were lighting a match!” The whole company became much interested in this new turn of the sub ject, and unanimously requested the good mau to give them a specimen of the style and manner of his preaching in the principality. “Specimen,” said he, “I cannot give you. “If John Elias were here, he would give you a specimen. O! John Elias is a great preacher!” “ vVeli,” said the company, “give us something that you have heard from him.” “Oh, no;” said he, “I cannot do jus tice to it; Liesides, you do not under stand the Welch language.” They answered, “No, not so as to follow a discourse.” “Then,” said ho, “it is impossible for you to understand it, if I were to give you a specimen.” “But,” said they, “cannot you put it into English ?” “Oh, no,” said he; “your poor mea gre language would spoil it; it is not capable of expressing those ideas which a Welchman can conceive.” The interest of the company was now so increased, that nothing would satify them but a specimen; while they promised to make every allowance for the language. “Well,” said the Welchman, “if you must have a piece, I will try; but 1 do net recollect a piece of John Elias; he is our best preacher. I must think a little Well, I recollect a piece of Christmas Evan. He is a good preach er. I once heard him at an association of ministers. He was preaching on the depravity of man by sin, and of his re covery by the death of Christ. And he said, “Brethren, If I were to repre sent to you, in a ligure the condition of man as a sinner, and his recovery by the cross of Christ, I should do it some- j what in this way. Suppose a large ! j grave-yard surrounded by a high wall, j i with only one entrance, which is by a | large iron gate, that is fast bolted and barred. Within these walls are thous ands and tens of thousands of human beings, of all ages, and all classes, by one epidemic disease tending to the \ grave, which yearns to swallow them up. This is the condition of man as a sinner. Aud while man was in this deplorable condition, Mercy, the darl ing attribnte of Deity, came down and stood at the gate, looked at the scene, and weeping over it exclaimed; “Oh, that I might enter; I would bind up their wounds, I would relieve their sor- 1 row; I would save their souls.” While Mercy stood at the gate weeping, an embassy of angels, commissioned from the court of Heaven, to some other world, passing over, paused at the sight; (Heaven forgave the pause;) and seeing Alercy standing there, they said, “Alercy, Alercy, canst though not enter ? Canst though look at the scene, and not pity ? Canst thou pity, and not relieve ?” Alercy replied, “I can see,” and, in tears added, ‘ I can pity—but I caunot relieve.” “Why canst though not enter ?” “Oh,” said Mercy, “Justice has barred the gate i against me, and I ennnot, I must not unbar it.” At that moment, Justice himself anpeared, as if to watch the gate. The angel enquired of him why he wonld not let mercy enter ? J ustice replied, “My law is broken, and it must be honored. Die they or J ustice must.” At this moment there appear ed amongst the angels a form like unto the Son of God; who, addressing him self to Justice, said: “What are thy demands ?” Justice replied, “My terms are stern and rigid; 1 must have sickness tor their health; I must have ignominy for their honor; I must have death for their life; without shedding of blood there is no remission.” I “Justice,” said the Son ©f God, “I accept thy terms; on me be this wrong.; Let Mercy enter.” “When, said Jus tice, “wilt thou perform this promise V ” “Four thousand years hence, upon the hill of Calvary, without the gates of Jerusalem, I will perform it in my own person.” The deed was prepared, and signed in the presence ot the angi Is of ■ God. Justice was satisfied; and Mer cy entered, preaching salvation on in the name of Jesus. The deed was committed to the patriarchs; by them to the kings of Israel and the prophets; by them it was preserved till Daniels seventy weeks were accomplished. — Then at the appointed time, Ju* tice appeared on the hill of Cavalry and Mercy presented to him the important, deed. “Where is the Son of God V’ said Justice. “Behold him at the bot tom of the lull bearing liis own cross,” replied Merer. She then departed, find stood a luff. At the hour of trial Jesus ascended the hi!!, while in his ti ain followed liis weeping church.— Justice immediately presented to liim the deed saying, ‘This is the day when I the herd is to be executed.” When he received it did ho tour it to pieties and give it to the winds of Heaven? Oh, no; he nailed it to the cross, exclaim ing, “Jt is finished!” Justice called down holy fire to consume the sacri tice. Holy fire descended; it swallow" c-d up his humanity, but when it touch ed his divinity it expired. And there j was darkness over the whole heavens, j but “glory to God in the highest; on earth peace, good will to men.” “This,” said the Welchman, “is but a specimen of Christmas Evan.” Poor Preaciie : . —“ ‘Ah. there s the misery of it, Mrs. General Likens,’ she says to me. ‘Air. Alerkts is unhappy as a preacher; but it’s that or nothing else. "Wretched in it; more wretched out of it! ‘And then there’s the sala ry,’ she says to me; ‘some people look on Christmas as a happy time. It’s just the worst of all the year to us.— Tlie salary is so small tit best. And when the time comes to get it in the officers of the church and Air. Alerkes have to go over the subscription paper. This name can’t pay—lost too much money during the year some way; this one finds he can’t only pay half he promised, and hard woik to do that; this next one will try and see what lie can do. The next one is the man who took such offense at something the minister said, or his wife said, or the man’s children told him the minister’s children said. Next man can’t stand such preaching; don't catch him com ing to hear him again, much less pay. This next family on the paper has moved away. That other family was carried off since it subscribed by some other denomination; and so on and so on. Settling up, Airs. General Lik ens,’ says she, ‘for last year’s bad enough, but the making up the sala ry for the next year—oh me ! Officers of the Church go at it from a dreadful sense of duty only, hunting people do vn, reasoning with this man, con cerning that man—squeezing them, to subscribe. Just fancy your husband, Airs. Likens, says she, ‘you just fancy the General up that way on the Jjlock at New Yearn like a nigger, being ex cepted to, and run down, and higgled over!” and she would have cried, only the tears were all shed already. Ido believe she really loved her husband, and he was a good man—a real pious man, though a mighty poor preacher, whatever, lie may have been: uninter esting, you know. ‘lf they could only not tell Air. Alerkes so niuch,’ she said. ‘But, then, he needn’t tell you about it,’ says I. ‘lt’s his disposition to talk over his slights, to dwell on them, says she; ‘seems to take a kind of satisfac tion in it. Tell them!” says she; ‘why, unless I was stone blind I couldn’t help reading it all in his face at table, in his manner to me and the children, to say nothing of his groaning and twisting about in bed all night.’— ‘Why don’t lie jump on a horse and ride ’round, exercise —brighten himself up? says I' ‘But where’s the horse? [ says she. ‘He couldn’t afford to buy ! one. He can’t afford, even, to buy a I watch; that keeps him nervous and guessing on Sabbaths lest he’s too late for church; and it’s impossible for him to tell, except by people gettin’ up and going out, whether or no he isn’t j preaching too long. A horse!’ says ! she. ‘I tell you, Airs. General Likens, i the dyspepsy he got in the Seminary’s the cause of all lus trouble. After he’s been recreating a little, for a week or so, he’s fifty times brighter and hap pier, in the pulpit and out of it—only it’s not often he gel’s the chance. It’s poverty that crushes Air. Alerkes!’ she says, ‘au’ keeps up his dyspepsy—long -1 continued poverty ! It’s that keeps him awake all night; it’s that makes him preach the dull sermons the poo , pie complain of; it’s that makes him ! gloomy and sour; it’s that is stamped Iso into his face. He’s struggled and 1 prayed against anxious care for the | morrow; but then his children and ' his mortifications and his slights and I his debts year after year seem killing his vei’y soul, with all the faith in it. — I The New Timdthy, in Harpers Maga zine for August.

Clerical Anecdotes. Dr. Elliott, a noted clergyman of an old Connecticut town, being “well-to do,” and keeping neither locks nor bolts on his possessions, was frequent ly visited by burglars in a small way. Coming home late one night, from 1 a visit to a poor parishioner, he heard, on passing through his kitchen, a strange, swashing noise in his cellar, soon followed by the sound of stealthy , steps coming up the stairs. Hiding ; behind the door, he saw emerge a tall man, bending under a huge basket, tilled with salt pork, just taked drip ping from the brine. The doctor recognized a poor neigh- 1 bor, and, stepping forward, said kind ly: “You have a heavy load there.— Allow me to assist you.” With a cry of dismay, the culprit dropped the basket, and actually fell on his knees, entreating forgiveness, on the plea that this was the first of fence, and that his family were suffer ing from want of food. “But, my friend,” said the good doc tor, “you certainly knew toil had only : to come to me and ask for help to get. it, without damaging your soul with i siu and youi coat, with brine in this ; way. I forgive you. of course; but I do think you have taken more than your share of pork. I will divide t his . with you; and, when you want more, j or any thing else, just como and toll me frankly.” And, against the remonstrances of the poor wretch, lie compelled him to take just half of the stolen meat, say 7 - ; ing: “Carry it to your wife, with my ' compliments. I hope it will go down just as slick as though you*had taken j it without leave.” Dr. Elliott never revealed the name of this man, though he enjoyed telling the story, as he did one somewhat sim ilar, which is well worth preserving. One dark night ho went for liis horse in the barn, which was at some distance from the parsonage. Just as he was about to enter, he heurd some one coming out, and immediately cc.n- 1 coaled lnmself behind a large bush in the lane, hiding liis lantern under liis cloak. Presentlj 7 the w'ido barn-door swung open, and a man appeared, bending beneath an immense load of i hay bound together by a rope. — j Through loops carried the huge mass like a peddler’s pack. The doctor suffered this thieving Atlas to pass j him; then, taking the candle from his j lantern, he crept softly forward and set fire to the bay, then again conceal ed himself. In a moment that moving haycock was one great, crackling blaze, and the thief, with liis head and back. He succeeded in extricating himself without help, and then the snowy fields. Some moths after this there came to the doctor s study a pale, thin, mel aneholly looking man, who, after much painful hesitation, expressed a desire to make a confession of sin.— With a serious and sympathetic man ner, yet with, I suspect, a sly twinkle in his eye, the minister set lnmself to I listen “I’ve had a dreadful load on my ; conscience, doctor, for a consul’Lie | spell; and it does seem as es ’twould i kill me. I’m eeny most dead now.” “Ah ! is it possible ? What can you I have done? Vfou are a respectable j man and a church member,” replied i the doctor, in seeming surprise.” “Yes, I jined the church thirty years ago,” replied the old farmer; then, sinking his voice to an awesome, confidential tone, he continued: “But I’m a dreadful sinner, for all that, doc tor; and, bein’a church member, my sin, you see, was of too much account to be winked at, and judgment fuller ed close after it. 0, dear, 0!” “Fray, tell me your trouble, broth er!” “Well, doctor, it consams you.” “Indeed!” “Yis. One time, last winter, I pot a leetle short of fodder, and I thought 1 tu myself, as how you had more’u enough for your critters; and so one night the Devil tempted mo to go to your barn, an’ tu —O, dear, 01” “To help yourself to a little of ray , surplus hay; eh V” “Yis, doctor, jes so ! But I never' got home with that ni'o hay. Ihe Lord wouldn’t let mo du it. I had a load on my back, and was a carry in it away, when all tu once it burst into a j blaze about nov ears.” “Struck by lightning “No, doctor, it was a clear night— I've jest made up my naiad that live dropped down from Heaven and kin dled that are hav. Twas a judgment an’ a warnin’ an’ 1 m a for red a sort oi forerunner of the llamos of hell. I hain’t had no peace of mind sence, nor felt like satin’ a good meal of vit tals. At last, I thought I might feel a little better es Id jest own up to you, an’ ask your pardon an’ your prayers.” To the astonishment of the poor pen itent, the minister laughed outright merrily. Then he said: “Be comfort ed, neighbor;- your little thieving opc i ration was hardly of such consequence to Heaven us all that. It was I who caught, you at it, and set, fire-to the hav from m; lantern; and i must sav NO. «. you yelled lustily and ran briskly, for a man of vour years. Why didn't you tell me if you wanted hay? Now go home in peace, get well, and steal no more.” “You, doctor ! Yon ? Be yon sar fcin sure you sot tiro to that are bun dle of liny ?” “Yes. quite sure; that was ray own little bonfire. I hope it didn’t scorch you much. I noticed w hen you came to meeting the next Sundny, that your hair was a lit-tlo signed. As for the flames of hell, neighbor, that’s your own lookout. I trust there is time to escape them vet.” “So, so ! ’twits you did it all! The Lord be praised !” exclaimed the far mer, fervently. “It raly is an amazin’ | relief, an’ my old woman was right, for she says: ‘Ho to the minister an’ ! confess,’ says she, ‘nil’ that’ll lift the biggest licit of the sin off your con science, an’ bo better than doctor stuff,’ I says she. An’ so you did it! Weli, folks say you’re a master man for a joke; but this ’ere one was more sol emn than a sermon to me, an’ more effectuooal, doctor, Ido believe.” So saying, the farmer departed in peace; and the parson kept the secret of his name, even in his family, uhvavs I think. Tim Pardoning Business. —Bullock lias turned Jooso two more notorious criminals cow icted by the Courts of this county, Henry Miller and Abram Bcreven, both, of course, negroes.— That the people of Georgia may know something of the manner in which this ; pardoning business is being carried on ! almost to the entire overthrow of crim-! inal justice in the State, we have col- | looted together all the facts of this cast 1 , and printed them under our local head. It appears that without con sulting the presiding Judge, or other fair investigation, this man, Bullock, accepts any man’s representations, and j w hen negroes are concerned, turns the j criminals loose upon the community. | In fact, the criminal laws of Georgia are in a state of suspension, and a man has only to have a black skin to commit an outrage against thorn with imp'inify. The community should ex amine into all the facts of these eases of improper pardon, and hold all per sons connected with them to a strict account. Under the existing order of things, no man’s life or property is safe. We have no hesitation in de nouncing the man who would grant such pardons as an accessory after the fact, no better than the principal, and an enemy to society. [Savannah Republican. Tomato Batter Cakes. —The season ! for that highly esteemed vegetable, the tomato, being again at hand, we take occasion, says the Columbus Enquirer, j to recommend a mode of serving them, ; obtained from a newspaper, and which after trial, we can pronounce excellent. It is to slieo them when ripe, cover them w ith batter, and fry on a griddle like other cokes. They should beseas ontd while frying. Large and solid tomatoes are the best for this dish. Those who are fond cf tomatoes will take new delight in them fried in this way for breakfast; and we believe hat many who have not fancied theai in the old styles of serving, will find them most palatable in this way. Miscegenation. —A negro man in Atlanta has been fined SSO, or s x months service in the chain gang, for marrying a white woman. were 7,542 arrests, du ring the past three months, in the mor al city of Chicago.

Two Ladies arrived in our city, a few days since, from Califcrnina, having made the trip from Sacramento to Omaha —1500 mi’es—in four days and three hours. They represent the road as being good as the average, and guarded by troops from point to point i through its entire length; the aecom- j modations, too, iu the way of sleeping 1 cars, &c\, are all that could be wished. !

Signpost Advertising. —An exchange says a man is too uieun to advertise farm land he wanted to sell, put a written notice in one of the hotels the other day. A man who was inquiring for a small fuim was rtfered to the written notice.

The Aerial Machine. —An experi ment was made iu Man Francisco re cently with the working model of au aerial navigation machine. It not on ly ascended into the air, but was pro pelled in any required direction by ma chinery of capacity to carry eight or ten persons. It is being constructed for the purpose of making a trip to New York. The inventor is confident that the trip cau bo nude in twenty four hours. A girl keeper of a toll-gate iu Eng land was asked by a swell velocipediat, who thought to chaff her, how much ha had to pay. ‘That, sir,’ replied she, “depends upon whether you ride through the gate, or whether you get off your dandy horse and drag it through; because, in that case, every two-wlieeled vehicle drawn by a horse or an ass pays three-pence ” Brown is such a blunderer that he can’t even try ou anew boot without putting his foot in it. An architect proposes to build a “bachelor’s hall,” which will differ with most houses, in having no “Eves.” A young man from college calling on a young lady, anl being asked by the servant what name she should give her mistress, replied:—“Amicus,” (the Lat in for a “friend.") The girl hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “What kind of a Cunts did you say sir?” Tim collegian then gave his name, and re solved to stick to English hereafter. i Penitentiary Leased. —We under stand that Messrs. Grant, Alexander & Cos. have leased the penitentiary, 1 and that under the bill authorizing the | leasing of the institution, Messrs, j Hawkins, Carrington and McCombs | were appointed to take an inventory of tlie establishment, which they have* I done, we believe. We were not aware of the fact that such a bill had been passed and signed by the Governor. It would have been well for the Governor to have at least advertised tlio fact that it was for silo, and to have invited bidders. We know ! nothing of the terms. If the State can be saved the annual expense of itp B,up* j port, that mush is gained if nptfrug j more, though we believe it could be * made a paying institution to tin* State, besides being self-sustaining. We are ! glad, however, the step has been uikeii, and we await to see how it will work. —Southern Recorder, sth. SSOO Reward. Gov. Bullock offers SSOO reward for the apprehension of George W.
