Dear Bibs— Prompted by gratitude, I
take pleasure In testifying to the great vir
tue of your medicine —-the “ Eureka.” For
year * pa tt, my wife has been a great sulTerct
from Neuralgia in the head, neck, and
shoulders, experiencing no permanent ben
efit from the most skilful and experienced
medical attention. Sinee last Dccemlier
(during which time we have resided at this
place), she lias scarcely escaped three days
consecutively, until she began taking the
“Eureka,” about two montlis since. In
those two months, she has only felt slight
symptoms, three times, and now considers
herself PERMANENTLY CURED, though
the hiu taken but two liottle*! The iieuefit
she has derived cannot bo computed in
money , and I do not hesitsto to recommend
the “Eureka" to all who arc suffering in
like manner. Very respectfully,
F. A. Branch,
Pastor 31. E. Church, South.
A Wonderful Cure.— 3lr. W. 11. Blan
ton, of Harris countv, Georgia, writes un
der date of tlic 16th instnnt, to Messrs.
Pemlierton, Taylor & Cos., of this city,
detailing Uic wonderful cure of ids daughter
by the Compound Extract stillingia, pre
pared by tliis firm. He writes:
“ >ly daughter was taken on tlic 25th of
June, 1803| with what was supposed to be
acute rheumatism, and she was treated for
the same with no success. In March fol
lowing, pieces of bone began coming out
of the right arm, and conUnued to come
out until all the bones from the elbow to Uie
shoulder joint came out Many pieces of
bone came out of the right foot and leg.
Tlic case was Uien pronounced one of white
swelling- After being confined to her bed
about four years, and the case considered
hopeless, I was induced to try your Com
pound Extract Stlllingia, and was so satis
fied with its effects that I have continued
the use of It until Uie present. My daugh
ter was confined to her bed about six years
before she sat up or even turned over with
out help. She now alts up all day and
sews most of the time; has stood on her
feet alone and walked a few steps. She
lias walked across the room wlUi a little
support. Her general health is now good,
and I believe she will, «s soon as licr limbs
gain strength, walk well. I attribute her
recovery, with the blessing of God, to the
use of your invaluable medicine.”
These bets arc corroborated by Hon.
H. D. Williams, of Taibot, and Messrs,

BY MISS MARY ANN CHESTER.
It was the evening twilight The
mother of mankind was placed by her
tent, reclining on a rude couch. The
western wind fanned her pale clu-ek,
and played amidst her grey locks.
Near her sathcr husband. Ere turned
ber eye upon him witli a look of sad
ness, yet of deep affection, and ns site
saw liis wrinkled brow, bent form and
head of snowy whiteness, seemed to
call to mind other days.
Inwardly she reproached herself.
“ All! not thus was it I saw him when
first given to him by otrr God ; where
has vanished that manly form—where
is the clastic step—where the eye
beaming with brightness. Where now
the rich and mellow voice? Alas,
how And it was I who
tempted, wiio destroyed. I, the wife
—the cherished companion—l bade
him cat, and now, what is he, who but
for me had known no pain, nor sor
row, nor age? And what remains of
her, ou whose beauty lie then gazed
with unsatiated pleasure? A trem
bling, wrinkled form, just sinking into
the grave. Where is now the par
adise wiih its rich fruits—that balmy
air, which brought on every breath
a tribute to each happy sense—
tiiosc rays which warmed but never
scorched ? And sadder, sadder still,
where now is that blissful intercourse
with him who made us rich in the
happiness of living ? His voice is no
longer in our ears—driven from bliss
—from scenes so lovely—the earth
cursed—sin, sorrow and death, the
inheritance of our children.
Our mother was overcome by tlic
rush of recollections. Her eyes, long
dry, found new fountains, and her
aged form shook with deep emotion.
It may be that Adam had been in
dulging in musing not unlike, for lie
was startled, as if from reverie, by the
emotions of bis wife. The old man
placed himself beside her—she laid
her head on tlic bosom which had so
often soothed its throbbings: “ What
ails thee, Eve ?
“ Oh, my husband, how const thou
show kindhess to her who has done
all this? Thou watt young and knew
only happiness, and ail around was
formed to delight our every sense,
and I, who should have strengthened
thy virtue, fell, and dragged thee with
me, the partner of my sin, to this
depth of ruin. And after a few years
of toil aud anxiety, we are about to
lay these worn-out frames into the
dust.
“ But for sin, we had lived in per
petual youth, and feared no change.
The threatened death has worked
slowly but surely, aud now his work
is nearly done.
“ The first to sin, it was meet that
I should first return to tlic dust. Had
tho guilt and the curse been only
mine, I might endure it, but I see
thee now and compare thee with what
thou wast, as it scents to me but yes
terday.
“ A few days will lay thee low. Let
our children lay us side by side in the
cold earth. I know not why it is, yet
it seems to me there will be pleasure
in the mutual dissolution of our bod
ies, as if there were something of con
sciousness in the lifeless dust. Little
of comfort as is now left in life, yet I
cannot endure the thought that I shall
utterly cease to be.
“Adam, thou bast often given me
words of consolation. Is there ought
can cheer me, now I am to bid thee
farewell ?
“ Thou Bccst yonder snn—thou wilt
again see him rise aud set—he is bid
ding me a last adieu.
“ Sense shall soon cease forever and
no light shall again enter these eyes.”
Tho old man wiped the tears that
fell on the wrinkled brow of his part
ner. A sudden light was on his coun
tenance, as if anew lamp had been
lit up in his soul. Eve saw it, and it
brought to her a gleam of hope: she
gazed on his face as if death had lent
new powers to her faded vision.
“ First of woman, said Adam, may
claim no pre-eminence in guilt; to
gether we sinned, together we have
borne the punishment. But there is
redemption—there is hope.
“Whilst thinking of the fearful
change, which betokened to my heart
that its partner was about to be taken
away, a heavenly light beamed on my
couch. We shall not die—there is a
costly ransom provided. We sleep
under the cold earth, but we shall
walk in our Eden seven times more
beautiful than when we first roved
amidst its fruits and flowers.
“ And there will be the ten thou
sands who, inheriting our evil natures,
will have found a powerful Physician
—and there will be that mighty Physi
cian, whose presence shall wake ten
thousand harps to melody.
“ This earth, too, so long, so griev
ously cursed for our sin, will come
forth more than purified from every
stain, and in more than its pristine
youth. •
“Thou wilt go a little before me to
the grave; but we rfhall rise together
with the glad shout of gratitude, and
with us millions on millions of our
posterity, ransomed from the curse.”
Adam paused j his eyes fell on the
face of bis wife, a smile seemed to play
in tlic brightness of hope upon her
iialc lip, but the hoart had ceased to
beat, and that sleep had fallen on her
which the trump ofthe Archangel only
shall disturb.
Pretenhed Dealers in Counter
feit Currency. —Andrew Miller, of
Waterbury, Conn., entered complaint
in tho Special Sessions, New York,
against Win. H. Jackson. The latter,
ns alleged, sent a circular to coui
plainaut inviting him to come to the city
and invest his money in jewelry and
counterfeit money. M iller negotiated
for the purchase of one hundred dol
lars worth of counterfeit money*, which
was to lie securely packed in two tin
boxes, and paid teu dollars for the
same. On ai riving at his hotel he
found the contents to lie a quantity
of tin foil and a note saying this was
done to m islcad the detectives. J ack
-Bon and an accomplice, one Win.
Hammon, were sent to the peniten
tiary for six mouths, and compelled
to refund the money. On Thursday
detectives visited the place of Jack
son and Howard, in John street, and
report that they found in one of tlic
desks seven hundred letters ordering
counterfeit money to the amount of
live hundred and seventy-five thous
and dollars, mainly from parties in
tho South. A private memorandum
book found in tlic safe snowed that
within forty-seven days nearly thirty
thousand dollars had been received by
tho prisoners. Bills for board at the
Graud Central Hotel, for diamonds,
&e., were also found, together with
one hundred and sixty-five dollars
in cash, and a large number of uno
pened express packages containing
money nml orders. Parties in the
State of South Carolina alone sent
for seventeen thousand dollars. A bill
frem a prominent advertising firm in
New York, lor three hundred and
seventy-six dollars and ninety-four
cents, for advertising in the Southern
cities, was discovered in one of tlic
desks. The average number of letters
received daily was two hundred.
A Parisian Shop Scene —A Paris
paper relates the following: “Mrue.
X , an elegantly dressed lady,
entered oue of the emporiums of fash
ion and requested to sec some Valen
ciennes lace, but, after some time, not
finding any to suit her, withdrew with
out making any purchase. She had,
however, been observed by one of the
shopmen to slip a piece of tho goods
under her shawl. Nevertheless, she
returned home as if it were unnoticed,
but on reaching the door of the house,
was accosted by a messenger, who
handed her a small parcel and a let
ter, which was thus worded :
“ Madame —T am afraid that the
fifteen yards of lace which you selected
in my shoo will not lie sullicicnt to
trim yon:* dress ; I therefore take the
liberty of sending you a second piece
of the same pattern. I beg to be in
formed whether you accept it.”
The signature was that of the mas
ter of the establishment. It is need
less to say that tho lady was only too
glad to escape, by a prompt payment
lor the whole, from some very unpleas
ant consequences.
gCjjf* The Alta Californian of the
18th, says: “Yesterday was a proud
day for California. The first ton of
I>erfecUy crystalized sugar from beeis,
grown on the spot, was taken from
the centrifugals at the Alvarado
mill yesterday. The home-made ma
chinery worked charmingly, nnd the
various processes ware perfectly suc
cessful. The triumph was -o success
ful that California may now count
on this industry as a permanent in
stitution, soon to be multiplied, until
_in three years we shall ha indepen
dent of foreign supplies, and we may
expect to be seeking outlets abroad
for the surplus.”

that one tea-spoonful of common salt

almost instant relief in most any case

failed of success in giving weak salt

An Infernul Mistake.
“ Many a shaft at random sent” bits
something or other whicß the archer
little meant to touch. Wc liaVe heard
an anecdote illustrative of this truth,
which has probably hot appeared hi
print before, and which has I men told
as a genuine history. It happened in
a large city—never mind what city.
There were two pretty sisterß who
hail married, one an eminent lawyer;
the other a distinguished literary
man. Literary man dies, and loaves
young siste r a widow.
Some years rolled away, and the
widow lays aside her weeds. Nowj
then, it huppens that a certain author
and critic has occasion, on a broiling
day in summer, to call ou the emi
nent lawyer-husband of the elder sis
ter. lie finds tho lawyer pleading
and sweltering in a crowded court,
sees that the lawyer is suffering
dreadfully* from the heat, pities him,
rejoices that lie himself is not it
lawyer, nml goes for a cool sauntei
under the sheltering trees of a lash
ionable park aud garden.
Amongst the ice-eating, fanning
crowd there, he meets the younger oi’
the two sisters, and for a moment
thiuks he is talking to the elder;
“ Oli, Mr.—,” said the lady, “ how
dreadfully hot It is here !”
“ Y'es, madame,” replied our luck;
less critic, “it is hot here; but I can
assure you the heat of this place isn’t
u circumstance when compared with
the heat of the place whore your
poor dear husband is suffering to*
day.”
A horror-stricken expression comes
over t ic face of the lady; she rises
from her chair and flounces iudig'
uantly away.
“ Ah, me, miserable,” soliloquizes
our wretched critic, “ I’ve been mis
taking the one sister for tho other,
and she thinks I meant to say he*
husband—is not in heaven.
Cure for Founder—Some time'
since wc noticed an article going tin'
rounds of the press, as cure for fouig
dcr—lameness occasioned by inflaui
matory fever in the foot of a hors;
Not considering it of much account
we did not note it at the time; n
centiy, however, we met with a friem:
who has tried the remedy, and assure
us that it is a sure cure, and it is so
easily* tried, we will publish it for tin
benefit of our many readers. Th »
remedy* is as folows:
“Clean out the bottom of the foot
thoroughly—hold up the lej» so as to
bring the bottom of the hoof upward;
holding it firmly in a horizontal posi
tioii,aud jiour in, say a table*spoonfn !
of spirits of turpentine, if the entity
of the hoof will hold that much—it'
not, jiour in what it will hold without
danger of running over; touch the
turpentine with a red hot iron ; tlii;t
will set it on fire; hold the hoof firmly
in (tosilion until all burns out. Great
care must lie taken that none run;
over on the hair of the hoof, lest tht'
skin be burned. If all the feet a*.v
affected, burn turpentine in each ot'
them. Belief will speedily follow and
the animal be ready for service in t»
short time.”
The refined use “ Barrett’s.”
A Gentle Hint.—We know a min
ister who was generally able to keep
iiis congregation wideawake, butwh;-
on one occasion—it was a sultry sum»
iner day*—observed numbers of then;
asleep. He resolved to nip the evil
practice in the bud. So taking tt
good survey ofthe scenes lieforc and
around him. lie exclaimed, “ I saw ai>
advertisement last week for fivo hun -
dred sleepers for a railroad. I think
I could supply it with fifty, and ret
on: mend them as good and sound.
It is, jierhaps, needless to add, that
sleepiness instantly vanished.

Phil. Joiner is advising his race no:
to take wages another year for work

“ Barrett’s’’ cheapest, purest, best
FtRMN-as.—“ Bub, is your sister at

“ Yes, but she won’t see you to

“ Why ?”
“ Cause she said she was going to
