LIVER COMPLAINT.
Rev. Dr C. P. Deems, (Aug. S8d, 1962 ) Bays:
“ I hare derived great benefit from these I ills, sod
hare known many families and individuals who
hare found them rciy bcnrflcial. and I bare also
known physicians In excellent standing to recom
mend them to their putieots. For ell diseases aris

Her. John W. Poller, 8dnw IIIB, N. C., (Jen. ft,

I became sebject to Impieot and violent attacks of

DYSPEPSIA.
8. I). Wallace, Ke<|., President of the Wilming
ton A Weldon Railroad, (Aug. 8 IMV)esyat “ll
lias been said that Dyspepsia is bur nslionul di-.
esse. However this tout be. it cmi'ivt mo long and
severe ruffering. Providentially a Iriend lurniahed
lor wilh a few bolrs ol the llq she Pills, and the
use of them bae perfected a cure. In niy family
they hare been used frequently with eminent sue
cos*. Among my scoualntances many cm»es origi
nating from alscniod liver, hare been relieved «nd
cured by them. I regard them an invaliiuble mod.
icinr, and take pUaauie la forwardi g tbie Toluutu-

' A W. D. Tayl-r. Esq.. Petersburg, Va.. (Jan. II
18M*,) as vs : ‘ In tbe Spring of IH.'iS, I was attack
ed with Dyapepsls to such un extent that nil nir
fuod of c»ery description disagreed with me. I
waa swollen so I had’ to loosen my clothe*, and
night slier night 1 could get no alccp. I tried onr
or two physicians, and took a good deal of medi
cine, bill lound no re ief. I |*m bused one box ol
Hie rtouihern ilepalio Pills, and the lir-l dose I
took I felt reliert-d, end continued until I took the
whole box. 1 etn now entirely well, and eat hear
tily, end never hire been attacked since. I can
•ately recommend these Pilla to the Dyspeptic and
the oommunity el large,"
If you ere threatened with Pneumonia, rend the
following from Uutil. W. P. Darla, of Petersburg,
Va.: "Hrmpathy for the suffering prompt* me to
ceMify that hit servant man was suffering in the
last slags of Pneumonia, throwing up matter and
blood in great quantities . hla case was considered
entirely hopeless, ro much «>, that there waa no
medical prescription* used for nia recovery ; l re
garded him ss good as duad llunrlng of tho great

that I would try an cs|-arinicnt on him; without

there waa a cliango for the belter; I continued giv

Tit* Cavks of VicKsnuna.—A corret-
nondent of tho Boston Traveler writes
from Vicksburg:
The hundreds of caves in tho sides »r
tho hills are still open, and bring to
rnind tho accounts wo rend und beard
related nf the suffering tlicro. Many,
however, have caved in, and in some
instances Iho whole sido of tho hill
comes down into the street ut the same
time.
Ono of these caves, nponod, 4t few
weeks SffO, was found to OUOtafn the
bones of a whole family who had beatl
Buflbcatcd there during tho siege. Tho
j cunuon have all been remove I, but the
ride pits and curlh forts still remain
on tho hill tops. The spot whero Grant
und l'emberton consulted upon the
terms of surrender, which was then
surrounded by trees and sbudod by tbe
brunches of a lurgo oak, is now in un
open field, cultivated by a negro who
fought there. Tho marble* monument
raised to mark tbe spot was so hacked
by relic seekers, that it has been re
moved, and u ten-inch Columbind gun
reurod in its place, upon which is on-
gruved the words :
"The site where Gen. U. 8. Grant
arranged tho terms of surrender with
Lient. Gen. Pemberton.”
A Fact.—Courtship is bliss, but mat
rimony is blister.
Mrs. Stefane’s Dream.
It was Monday morning. It wns also
'washing day,’ in a house where tho fum
ily coasited of husband and wife nnd
five small children, the fatfer of whom
were gifted with a perfectly marvelous
faculty for "retiding und destroying,”
nnd especially for soiling beyond hope
of redemption, every clean garment
with which their much enduring mother
provided them dining the week. Mrs.
Blonfiitie, like all other mo liters, was
proud of her children, and liked to see
them neat nnd cleanly dressed, even be
yond the average necessity of her child's
simple toilet Consequently her wash
ing basket on Monday morning was u
slight calculated to strike awe and ter*
ror into the soul of nny young maiden
on tho biink ot matrimony.
She sat idly tapping tlto rod covered
washing-book with ivory pencil, whilo
Iter eyes rested oil tbe basket ut bur feet,
but not with that usual calmly satisfied
glance. Something was evidently wrong.
NVIiut was it ?
'Mighty-live dollars for the lace pock
et handkerchief she carried,' said tho
wife of twelve years standing, musing
ly ; "und live litindiud and filly for her
shaw l; while thut silk dress of hers
would positively stand alone. Ah mo!
it’is well to be bin ! And 1 might
have been Judge Howell's wife myself;
for lie asked me to marry him six months
beforo bo ever saw her, and was fit to
blow his brains out when 1 refused him.
At least lot said bo was. Alt me I’
And llion the lady sighed again, nml
gave the washing busket a spiteful
shove with Iter slippered foot.
‘Mother, I can’t find my shoo !’
‘Mother, do yon know whore tny
blue »ic is V
‘Mother, will you come nml fusion Ibis
frock ? It is so tiresome.’
‘Molhor isn’t break fust most ready ?’
‘Muz/.cr, mo tics you ’
These exclamations burst upon Iter
ear, nt tlto door of tho nursery sudden
ly opened, nml allowed, five curly bead
ed, tosy cheeked, healthy girls und buys,
who looked at her Wondorlngly ns site
neither rose nor replied to their request.
"Mothor, isn’t breakfast most ready?"
eailed out I bo most venturous of (lie
little brood, the blue eyed Tommy, who
liticl already asked that question once
before.
The interruption sounded harshly.—
Tho mind of tno thoughtful woman was
absent from the body at tiiut moment,
wandering buck through the rosy paths
of tho pant, where a handsome nnd
wealthy lover ctimo to woo. And now,
in the nresont, she was tho hard worked
wife of a poor nnd struggling man ; the
mother ol five troublusoino young hu
man beings, lor wlioso sake all such
beautiful vanities m luce handkerchiefs
nnd India shawls, mid silks that ‘would
stand alone,’ must lie forever given up
Thu contrast was very decided, nml
by no menus a plounnnt ono. Bho look
ed up,
‘Go away, children, all of jott at
onco I’ slio saiil in a harsh voice, ‘break
fast isn’t ready yet, nml I’m suro I don’t
know when it will be, nnd such a pack
of young troubles to look after. Thorp,
go down stairs, overy one of you, and
don’t speak to inn till I get this washing
list made out.’ Looking ut eacli olhor
with u mortified mid cruslfullcn uir, the
children stole away, ono after tho oilier,
and went down to the breakfast room,
where the lather sat reading his paper
and waiting patiently lor tho morning
meal.
Presently tho sound of many voices
nnd much laughter penetrated the upper
room, whore the mother still sat brood
ing alone. Hlio listened a mmnont or
two, nml then rose from her chair.
‘What a noise they do make when .
they are all together!’ she said, fretfully.'
'Ami ob, dear, how diooiiraged and j
weary of it do I feel J I will lie down
for five minutes, und Ann can take in j
breakfast for them nil. If tlioy have,
that, they will not miss mo! Howl
strangely my bead does feel I Eighty-1
five dollars for one single pocki t-liand-:
keichief! It is really too bail that I
should be drudging here, day in uml
day out, with hardly a decent gown
once u year, whilo she--'
A strnngu drowsy feeling overcame
her, and hushed her trouble anu repin-1
ing together. Her eyelids closed —.
Her bead sank back upon tho pillow.-- j
Hhe slept or seemed to sleep 1 , * * '
Raising up from that long slumber ut|
last, but still fueling strangely heavy,
and dull, Mrs. Btcfnnu went down stairs, 1
idly reproaching licrsolt for her deser-1
lion of her husband nnd children at tho
broakfust hour. But the breakfast room;
was empty, though tho deserted tabic
gave ample and sutllcient evidence that
her absence had by no moans otTocted 1
tbe np|M)titof of (he party.
81m rung the bell. The Irish servant
ontered.
‘Where is your master?' asked Mrs.
Stcfunc, feeling strangely hurt that she
should have to put such a question to a
servant, as to her husband's wherea

‘Tlto master, ma'am,’ said the good
notured Ann, with n broad smile. Bure,
ma'am, and In? staid lie’ll bo after taking
all the children down tho river, ns it
was such u tine day. Tlmy were just
wild to go, tho darlings !
'Down the river 1* gasped Mrs. Stc-
fane, feeling os if she could not believe
Iter oats. That ‘down the river trip’
bad boon n long looked for nnd engurly
discussed pleasure to be shared by tho
whole family, ami by Iter ! And they
bud gone nml led Iter !
‘You see, ma’am, you was in such n
bountiful slnpe, that master would not
have you disturbed,' wont on tbe stupid,
but good uutured Ann 'And so he
told mo to dreoi the children myself, nnd
and I did. And very pretty they look
ed, tlto litllc darling/.’
'Clear tlio breakfast things away!'
said Mrs. Stcfano.
‘Yes, ma'am. I left tho table for you,
thinking you might be hungry ufter
your slnpe. Won't I bring you a cup
of c«ff«re, and a ftesh roll or two 1"
‘No, timnU you.’
‘An egg now, ma’am, or u taste of
fried ham. I’ll cook it for you in a
minute, ma'uin ’
‘I want nothing—nothing !’ nnd Mrs
Btcfnno fairly run from tba room, for
the ready tears wore even then lit her
eyes.
This then was all they cared for her,
she thought, ns she gazed around her
own chamber. Atm bad removed the
clothes basket during her sl;op, bat the
room was littered and untidy, nnd as it
was washing day, she could nut call
tbe girl from Iter work to attend to it.
Still less would she slave there her
self, while her truant family wore enjoy
ing the fresh river breezes from the deck
of a beautiful steamer. The room might
go. What did it matter? What did
anything matter F
And then site sat down again nnd
leaned her head on Iter hand, nnd n
thought of the lace kerchiefs and tho
India shawls, and the magnificent silk
dresses oi Judge Howell’s wife, till her
heart was full of burning nnd bitter
thoughts against those whom slio really
loved far hotter than life itself.
Going into the parlor idler dinner
was over, site still pursued this useless
and almost wicked trnin of thought.—
Whittier's 'Maud Muller,’ bountifully
illustrated was on llio centra table.—
Bho took it up with a sentimental as
pect that was rutliur ludicrous in a
stout 'well to do’ mother of a family
like her.
"Alt. me !
Tint 1 llit- Jmlgu’s liriili* might lie 1"
she rcpcntdD onco or twice ufter tho
book dropped Irom Iter bund.
"Ho wtilth! dress mo up in silk so fluu.
And praise mo mid tousl mu uvor bis wlac."
And then she looked down upon her
wullworn alpaca dre/s, and sighed again
Poor Mrs. Stofuno !
Tho 'Judge’s bride’ was a beautiful
girl of eighteen, who had accepted hint
eagerly, hi spite of his iron-gray hair
nnd fifty years, becauso of Ins wealth
nnd position ho could offer. And “the
dodge" doted on his bride, ns only a
tnuu of that nge is capable of doing I

Stcfano, “as slio appeared" on washing
day of which I wide, ho would have
boon ono of the first to propose that "the
woman should be Hoot to a lunatic
asylum without any further delay."
Hut Mrs. Stcfano knew nothing of all
this, nnd sat nnd sighed over his memo
ry nnd her one lust cliattco of fortuno
111) tvrilight gave place to dusk.
Then, for tbe first time, she roused
herself sufficiently from Iter reveries to
wonder why her husband nnd cbildren
had not returned.
8lio rang tho bell. Ann camo in.—
The gitl looked pnle and scarod, and
had evidently been weeping.
' Wliat is tlic mntter asked Iter mis
tress, when slio caught a glimpse of her
face.
The girl hesitated.
'A nswer me 1'
Aon wrung Iter hands wildly, nnd
burst into a regular Irish bowl.
'Oh, ma'am, go down on your two
knees and be thankful that you didn't
go on that druadlnl boat this morning !
My poor master, and the blessed litllu
ehilder!’
Mrs. Stcfano caught her by tho arm. j
“Stop that noise, und tell mo at once
what you mean 1"
“Oh, ma’am, I only heard it live min J
tiles ago from the policeman nt I ho cor
ner ! The boat they went on got to ra
cing with another, and there’s been an .
explosion, ma’am, nnd every soul on

She might well nsk tho question.—
Mrs. Stohiiio rushed from the room liko
n mad woman, enught bonnet and shawl
from the hall rock us she passed, und
w us out in the atreet the next moment, 1
hurrying frantically long toward the offi
ces where the tickets for the river bouts
were sold.
Tbe oxcitod crowd grouped before tho
ontiance of tho principal one told tho
tide. Pushing Iter way through tlto
living mass by tho mure forco of ner

dings ol her doom.

With ono lust poor attempt nt courte

Fearful piscovery.
Mr. A. Itablt, n farmer who resides
about llu-oo miles west of tho city,
brought a strange story hi on Satur.lny.
Mr K. has a son-in-law liviug on a farm
about four miles from Lafayette, named
Mr. Miller. Mr. M. Ims a German In
borer who, in plowing over n corn field,
struck the upper crust of Romotbing very
much like the inf. run I regions. A suf
focating odor was first omitted, followed
by u dense Volume of smuko. Accor
ding to the German’s statement, tlio
stench was several degrees above tlio
flavor of tho Illinois street gutter. A
shoot of llamo soon burst from this ter-
riblo volcano, nnd n grout coullugrntion
wns imminent for a time, but the fiutm-s
wore finully subdued by n few shovel-
fills of earth tossed in tho mouth of tho
cruter. Tho lava thrown out looked
very much like Gastileioup—only it wits
not so highly porfumod. On tho con
trary, it was exceedingly offensive. It
ignites easily, and burns as freely ns
brimstone.
The German wns badly frightened,
nnd after viewing the scene in utter be
wilderment for n time ejaculated : "Vel,
dot is h—II I" \Vc understand Hint Pro-
fo/scr Cox will examine the ground, and
if it should prove to bo un cuti unco to
tlm infernal regions, ho will send fur Par
son Browitlow to look further into it.—
