On thecon trary they are uncertain in tne extreme. My object in writing Jon is to Und out upon what, terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I .hall use a great deal of it. lam aw ire that the use of such articles is contrary to the teaching, and practice of a great mfjorlty of the* e(/- ular I ne of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be et fieient. simply i ecause we may be Ignorant of Its com bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use ail and any means to alleviate suffering humidity which I may be able to otnmand—not hesitating because someone more ingenious than myself may have learn d its effects first, and secured the sole right tc. secure hat knowledge. However, lamby no m-ans an ad vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.

Shall we gather at the river, Where bi-ight angel feet have trod; With i-s crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God ? Ciio a us. Yes, we’ll gather at the river, The beautiful, the beautiful river; Gather with the saints at the river That Hows by the throne of G<xl. On the margin of the river, Washing up its stiver spray, We will walk and worshil) . ver, Ali Ute happy, golden day. On the bosoin of the river, AY here the Saviour-king we own. AVe shall meet and sorrow never ’Neath the glory of the throue. Ere we reach the shining river, Lay we every burden,down; Grace our spirits will deliver. And provide a robe and crown. At the smiling of the river, Rippling with the Saviour’s face, Saints, whom death will never sever, Lift their songs of saving grace. Soon we’ll reach the shining river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy he irts will quiver AA’ith the melody of peace. If men were wise in little things. Affecting less in all their dealings; | If hearts lmd fewer rusted strings To isolate their kindly feelings; If men, when wrong beats down i their right, AVould strike together and restore j it — If right made might In every fight, The world would be the better for it. ■ A Wonderful Southern Discov ery. In the South where Liver complaint ! and bilious diseases prevail to such a great extent, there has long been felt a need of a medicine that would act 'specifically and promptly on the Liver restoring it to its normal functions, and at the same time be safe from after es. sects, and yet so simple that it might be used L>v any one. It is claimed tha' Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pills sup plies this want. They act directly on the Liver; their constant use will not injure in the slightest degree the most delicate constitution. Females at any period may use them with great bene fit, and realize great relief from the distressing nausea which they experi ence at certain times. These pills tire not recommended as a ‘universal cure all, ’ but simply for diseased Liver, and those maladies which follow a derange ment of that important organ, such as Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion' Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles* Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies Heart burn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlesuess at night, and Flatulency.— These invaluable Pills may be found i D every Drug Store of any note in the South and AA'est. A New Year*# Gilt. Any gentleman that wants to give a lody friend a present ought to send her Peterson’s Ladies’ National for 1870 as it promises to be better than ever, and Peterson alwny ekeeps his promise. It would be a very interesting and use ful gift. The January number of this most excellent Magazine is on our la- I ble, with two of the most splendid steel engravings we ever saw. The first one is called “Parted by Fate,'* and is accompanied with a very powerful sto ry by Frank Lee Benedict. The sec oncl is called “A Bitter Morning,” and represents two children skating on the ice. This is one of the most cunning pictures we have seen for a long time. ; As for Peterson’s fashion plates, they can’t be beat. They are engraved on steel, and are really superb: every lad\ | ought to see them. AA r e cannot under* | stand how Peterson can afford tp give the superb Eerlin patterns ho does, as everj r color in these patterns lias to be j printed seperately, which costs exces sively. AVe speak from personal knowl edge of the stories of Peterson; they are always good and interesting. AVe , heard that Peterson’s Li dies* Notional printed more for 1869 than any two , cf the Ladies’ Magazines. AVe can understand this, asPeteison gives more for the money than anybody in the field. The price of this magazine is only $2 a year, w bile tha inducements to clubs are very great. Specimens are sent gratis !o those wishing to get , up clubs. Address Charles J.

A Model Parlor Magazine. —For i iieauty of typography, artistic eugrav | ings, and high-toned literary articles, ; together with a large and beautiful i | display of the Fashions, Demorest’s ! Monthly M guziue is cenrtainly un surpassed. The January number, just j received, in addition to uuusual holi day attractions, has a fine steel Por trait of both Air. and Mine. Demorest. The rich display of novelties offered in Demurest’** Monthly would seem to be enough to secure a circulation suffi- cient to satisfy its publishers, bu- in addition wo see they propose to give a very lartre and fine engraving to each subscriber, valued at $lO. The En graving alone would make a very ap propriate Holiday or Birthday gift; but when added to the costly Picture the best Parlor Magazine is included to be a monthly reminder of the friend ly feeling of the giver, there is certain ly no better way of investing $3. —Ad- dress Demorest’s Monthly, 838 Broad way, N. Y. Happiness does not consist in being perfectly satisfied with what we have got and with what we haven’t got. Troubles are like babies; they grow bigger by nursing. Conscience is a judge placed in the interior.of our being. Learn to control your temper now, children, or by and by it will control you. I would rather my daughter should have a man without money, than mon ey without man.—Theistoocles. Give your son a trade and you do more for him than by giving him a fortune.—Franklin. One reason that the world is not re formed is, because everybody would have others make a beginning, and thiiiks not of himself. Always endeavor to learn something from the information of those thou conversed with; end to put thy com pany upon those subjects they are best able to speak of. No person ever got stung by horn ets, who kept away from where they were. It is so with hubits. The greatest thoughts, it has been said, spring from the heari; but the maxim is far more true with respect to the uol lest actions. One half of mankind are not born with saddles on their backs, to be rid den by the other half.—Jefferson. Most of the shadows that cross our path through life are caused by our standing in our ow n light. Deliberate with caution, but act w’ith decision: and yield with gracious ncss or oppose witli firmness. Talkative persons seldom read.— This is one of the few truths which ap pear the more strange the more we r< fieeet upon them. For what is reading but riler.t conversation V Value no man fur his opinion, but esteem him according as his life co -with the rules of piety and justice. A man's notions, not his con ceptions, render him valuable. All Sorts. Little Rock, Arkansas, wants anew city prison. Selbin, Missouri, has an organized fire department. Leavenworth claims to be the ' ork oplis of Kansas. Mexico has a jubilee over every for ty miles of new railroad. In 1868 John B. Gough received over 999 applications to lecture.

[From the Atlanta Intelligencer.] Letter From Col. Hulbert. Western & Atlantic Railroad, j Superintendent s Office, .- Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25, 1800. ) To His Excellency, Rufus li. Bullock, Govern or of Georgia: Sir. —ln response to your inquiry for my reasons lor non-payment of the usual amount into the Slate Treasury for the month of October, from the earn ings of the Western & Atlantic Rail road, I have to state that the purchase of five hundred (500) tons of new ra'ls, costing thirty thousand ($50,000) dol lars, to replace a portion of those so loom as t> h ire become (longeron *, to I gether with ail unusual nnmbei of ! cross ties received, and paid for at our 1 last estimate, amounting to thirty-three 1 ($53,000) thousand dollars—making a i total of sixty-three (SU3,UOO) thousand | dollars—has exhausted our surplus i means so far as to compel me to post pone further payment into the Treusu- I ry until such time as the surplus has ! again reached an amount justifying a i resunipti >n of payments. | We have fifty miles of old and badly j worn raiia, an cany renewal of which i safety and economy imperatively de j maud. This will cost five thousand five hun dred doiluis per mile, or a total of two handled an and seventy-five thousand dollars. Duhug the i ist fiscal year we have ! laid down nine and one-half uni sos : new rail of an improved pattern, with j fish joints, at a total cost of fifty-two i thousand two hundred and fifty dul i lars. Tfii> has been a heavy drain upon 1 our resources, but lias been met, up to ; this time, without interfering with our regular payments. j The renewal, however, has not kept j pace with the rapid deterioration of I the old rail; hence the necessity of fur ■ tiier immediate and heavy expenditures | for tiiut purpose. | During the present month, as before stated, we have paid thirty- three thou sand dollars for cross tits. Requiring some twenty thousand ! cross ties for immediate use, we adver tised for the same at a slightly inereas- j jed price, (same as formerly paid), j which resulted in au unexpected and unprecedented number being plac. and j on the lme of toad—a much larger i number, in fact, than our immediate I wants icquired: but as the parties fur nishing them had doue so in good j faith, it seemed but just that tlwy I should be paid —especially us, in many ; I instances, the parties were poor, had i i exhau.-tud their means in furnishing 1 i them, an i could illy afford to wait un- I i tii such time as we might need them. j In numerous caeca mercliantH had ' ni.ppliuu thv.se persons with provisions "on a cr. art, until such time as thej , suouid ix.uei.fci their pay from the roaci. ‘The general failure of the corn crop i on viie fine of road, do ibt. ss caused a mm.li larger number to be furnished I Luun would otherwise have been. In many instances payment for tin timber furnished was the only means • the parties had to enable them to pur- j chase seed wheat. A postponement would have caused m.rcu sutfe- mg. ■ Under all the circumstances, it was j deemed best to pay, and thereby relieve f tne necessities of those who would oth- j eiwise have been placed in a distressed j ! condition. My able and accomplished piedeeos ; nor, Major Campbell Wallace, m his re- port for 1867, remarks as follows in a similar case: “You will observe ti nt t!,«. . mount reported this year, of mat* r ate un hand, is greater by tvonty thousand dollars than for Inst vt-ar. fu thu straitened and distressed HivinuHtaM ces of our people, I consult red it nt»t only my duty, but good poley, to aid, as far as practicable, such uu lived near the line of road to sustain end support their families, without depending mi the gifts of tiie Hint* or the henevoktxto of private as: ociations; hen* thoummds of cross ties and cords of wood, not needed for imrrediaie use, have been taken up and paid for.” Embraced in the expenditures at this time is the cent of a Howe Tin** Bridge, at Allatooim Creek, to replace | the one substituted for the cutvefi, , long since fallen down from infer*?, workmanship. , The necessary removal of the debt t* :of the culvert will also involve a cm>- sideruble expenditure, to be paid fqr as the work progresses. While on .he subject of expendi tures, which are immediately necessa ry, permit me to remit and your Excellen cy of the pressing demand upon ns for the erection of fire proof shops. The temporary wooden buildings. at pres ent occupied for that purpose, are ex tremely dangerous and are rapi'Uy falling into decay. Within the butt year they have been accidentally on fire, but it was fortunately discovered, in time to save the buildings, together with their valuable contents, and there by heavy loss to the State. The very high rate charged by insu rance companies for risks upon build* mgs of this character, filled with valua ble machinery, and generally crowded with locomotives and cars, undergoing repairs, the premium—amounting as it . would to several thousand dollars would in a few years erect first-clou tire-proof buildings. I cannot better state the very great importance of a liberal expenditure for their erection, than to quote from the Anual Report for 1867, of Mnj. (.’amp bell Wallace, in which lie says: ‘I would recommend the immediate substitution of brick buildings, as near fire-proof as practicable, ft r these un safe wooden structures. These build ings are of such combustible material, that we are in constant danger of se rious loss by fire; and, although Atlan ta can, with truthfulness, boast os prompt and faithful firemen as any city on the globe; and, although our tracks are so arranged that, in case of lire, the larger portion of engines and cars could be removed beyond its ravages. Such a casualty could not occur with out loss of machinery, shop tools, and material, greatly beyond the entire cost of the buildings. W r ere the State Road my individual piop ity, I would not divest another dollar of its earnings, for any purpose whatever, uu il all ov r shops, ami a suitable found, fy in addi tion, were erected on the most irnprov e 1 plan of fire-proof buildings.” The pressing and m nd for the erection fa Union purser? erde a this place for the comfort un . on Venn ice of the : traveling public should not be longer I overlooked. The commencement of the work is delayed by the prepaints- nos the plans and Kjseciflcations. It will cost from seventy-five to one hundred thousand dollars. This Road's proportion of the cost will have lo he met at an «srly day. j I am, Governor, very respectfully. Your obedient servant, B.
