Vkgrtink is made exclusively from the juices ol carefully selected barks, roots and herbs; nnd so strongly concentrated •tluit it will effectually eradicate from the system every taint of Scrofula, Scrofu lous Humor, Tumors, Cancers, Cancer ous Humor. Erysipieas, Sail Rheum, Syphilitic Diseases, (Junker. Faintness at the Stomach, and all diseases that arise from impure blood. Sciatica, In fhonniat >ry| and Chronic Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Gout uud Spinal Complaints can only be effectually cured through (lie bio* d tor Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of the Skin, Pustules, Dimples, Blotches; Boils, Tetter,Scald-head and King-worm Ykuktikk lias never tailed to effect a pcimaneul cure. For Pams in the Hack, Kidney com p’aints, Dropsy, Female Weakness. Leucorr cei, arising from internal uleer. ution, and uttriue diseases and General Debility; \ koktink aets directly upon the causes of these complaints. Il invig orates and strengthens the whole system; aets upon the secretive organs, allays iiffiammation; cures ulceratiou and regu lates the bowels. For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Coetiveness, Dulpitatiou of the Heart, Headache, Piles, Nervousness and Gen eral Prostration of the nervous System, no medicine has given such pertect satis faction us the Vkokijnk. It purities the ■blood, cleanses allot tlie organs, and possesses a controlling power over the uervous system. The remarkable cures effected by Veg etine have induced many physicians and apothecaries whom we know to prescribe and use it in their own families. In lact Vcgetine is the best remedy yet discovered lor the above diseases, uml is the only reliable Blood Purifier yet placed before the public. THE BEST EVIDENCE. The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, Pastor ot M.E Church, Natick, Mass, will be read with interest by ninny physicians. Also, those suffering Iron; the same disease as afflicted the son ol the Rev, K. S. Best. No peison can doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about the curative powers o! Vcgetine: Natick, Mass., Jan. 1,1874. Mr. H. R Stkvr.nn: Dear Sir—We have good reasons lor regardftig your Vegetiue a medicine of the greatest value We feel assured it lias been the means of saving our son’s life, He is now seven teen years of age, for the iast two years he .has suffered (rom necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw him thought his .recovery impossible. A council of able jdiysicians could give us but the faintest hope ol his ever rallying, two ol the number declaring that lie was beyond tie reach .ol hmumi remedies, that even amputation could not save him, as he hail not vigor enough to en dure the operation Just then we com menced giving him Veactiue and from that time to tire present he has been con tinuously improving. He has lately re sumed Iris studies, thrown away his crutches and caiiegnid walks about cheer fully and strong. 'Though there is still some discharge from the opening where the limb was lanced,we have the fullest confidence that in a little time he will be perfectly cured, He lias taken about three dozen bot tles ot Vcgetine, but lately uses but lit tle. as he declares that lie is 100 well to be taking undicitie. Respectlully yours, ' K S. BEST. MJiri.L. C.F. BEST. All Diseases of tfee Blood. If Vcgetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purity and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perlect health alter trying different physicians, many remedies; suf fering for years, is it not conclusive proof il you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood, and no medicine that dues not act directly upon it, to purity and reno vate, has any just claim upon public at tention. Recommend It Heartily. South Boston, Fen 7, 1870. Mr. Stw'kns: Dear Sir—l have taken several botties of your Vegetiue, and am convinced it is a valuable remedy for Dyspepsia, Kidney Gourplauit, and gee eral debility. 1 can heartily recommend it to all suffering from tlie abovecomplaiuts.

The following, us I understand it. is Simon’s dying address to his son Dim. to whom he bequeaths- everything bat his brains and his reputation. Simon does not will Don hi 3 brains, because Don has no use lor the article: while he al ready bss si* itihe reputation of that sort that he can conveniently get along with: Come hither, Donald Cameron, And stand beside my knee, i My race ol life is nearly run, Grim death draws near to me; But as I quit the public crib I will explain lo you. How jobs are done and parties run And how lo put things through. Lo ! I have been for forty years A statesman and a chief; Some call me Winnebago— Yea; some have whispered thief. But I have never been accused— Whatever I have done— By day nr night, of loosing sight Of Simon, number one. Thus in tlu'*e -marble Senate halls I've sat for many days; The politician’s trade I’ve learned. With all its tricks and ways. I’ve learned that statecraft is a game Like poker—with a blind— Where, if you pass, for want of brass, You’re always left behind. The Keystone is a noble State*. Realm proud enough for Icing. And I have ruled it many years With wha< tliey call the ring. But now my hand is getting weak, My pulse beats faint and low, My fingers slip I loose my grip, And l must let go. There is a place called Harrisburg, And there a crew doth meet Of caitifls and of flunkeys hired To wash and wipe my'feet. This crew 1 do bequeath To have mid hold alwriy; They’ll do your work and never shirk So they bvt get their pay. Now, all you have to do my sou, Is to keep the gang well piid, And keep those whom you cannot buy Disheartened or afraid; If these behest* you do observe And these commands obey. You shall be king and boss the ring With undisputed sway. I charge thee, boy, if ever th«u meet With one ol Forney's name, Be it in legislative halls Or in the lobby's shame, Face him as thou wouldst face the foe Who thy sire’s sins did tell; Remember of what breed thou art, And give the caitiff hell. [A. C. Buell in Washington Captai For the Gwinnett Herald. “live in Peace.” No. IV. One of the reasons why that class of preachers, who are said by the Savior to be • wolves in sheep's clothing? tietire to prejudice chris* linns against one anothei and there by to build up lltcir own fl a ks, was given in my last, number. But llm love of money although said to be •ihe tool of evil,’ ami which it may tiu.lv be sail, is the root of thi* minister of evil*, and the win cause which has hitherto and now docs induce such men to seek and work for seism* quarrels and divis ions in tins Bhercb ol Christ, yet that is not the unaided desire w hich prompts such unholy labor, Am* bitior.—a selfish de-ire lo get a name and fame among nu 11, lias doubtless, had much to do with the getting up of new sect*, on minor questions of chiisltan taiih and practice But all refo.wer* »■« not properly subject to these charges. Fur Martin Luther, and many otl**s have dune the cause of Christ good service, by calling at tention lo grave departures !r»>m the simplicity of gospel Doctrines and ordinances. And, therefor*, as t l,etr fruits ate good, we must be lieve their motive* were pure. The love of money and of f»**e are the moving cauSv« ol all divis ions of the Church, as all candid and well informed people must ad mit, Aud Ibeac two twin devil* “COMING EVENTS CAST TIIEIR SHADOWS BEFOREI ” so manage ns to bring to their aid ! Ihgmititm and Ignorance. and which are but a Wletched paw ol blind in>j*s. One of the most common causes lof the petty strifes and quariels that ari-e so olten, and prove so disastrous to individual churches, is to he found in the cupidity and 1 ambition, or ignorar.ee ol Pastors And wild) both a,nice aid alow order of ambition are well treated in the heart of a sinew.l. scheming pastor, and whose flock consi-ls of a full proportion ol ignorant and bigoted members, it is far more likely that Satan ill successfully destroy the peace, harmony and ! prosperity of any church so -i tin ted, than that Christ w ll he glo lifted, or the membership comloited and helped to find-the narrow way that leads to eternal file, by their connection with u Hunch in that 1 condition. And, although every branch ol the Christian church is liable to and dues suflei , uM*t« 01 less, from such . evil influences in high places, yet it j is a painful truth that such Chris tian organization* as are the most free and independent ill their folios of government, suffer most from ; such internal strife* and commo tions. Passing by the iron rule of the Catholic church, over the lives and consciences of her members, attention is invited to such churches onlv a* are governed by Synods. •Conferences, etc., as compared with those which are more demo cratic in their forms of government for comparison in this respect. And for convenience, let us notice the Presbyterian and Methodist churches, in cov ,’,arisen ami con trast with the Baptist Church in that particular. The fiist i- under ihe direction of her synods, and tin* second is controlled by lief geneial j conferences, in many important matters, as rs well kn >wn. Of course, each has both higher and lower bodies, l"i tne liHn-aC tiuli ol business, but to which it is not ii. eessm v to refer, f.*r pu*se..l purposes And the Baptist cintfih boasts more loudly perha|*t, of her frv-e arid imlepemleut form of gov ernment than dm** any other ol the great Christian families. Now 1 reader, look at the present eundi* dun of these three leading protes thi)t (aniilie <, in our own country, to-day, and see which on e otf them has had the moat seism* and divis ions among themselves. 1Y isby leiians aie not as compact as cUris lian families should be, it is true : nor are the Methodist*. I'ut how is |it with the Baptists t Who can tell into lu>« many blanches that great Christian denomination now stands divided? I cannot, and I doul t very much whether any liv ing man ■<•«« answer that question. The inquiry, there?>re become* an interesting one, whv have tin* | Baptist* lujcv um so much divided? ill we look isit-oiheir constitutional 1 aitielcs of faith and rules of decorum ;it would seem that they are free enough lo be Content and to live j together in peace. Then, whence iaiises *0 much discoid among them? Thi* question tube answered iu my ivexit. Jaxus I’. Simmons. Norcrosu, Ga.

That would he about twelve cents of our money. •That i» very little,’ said the King. ‘Can you get alo.ig with itr Get along! yes, indeed, I have something left. 1 ‘How do you manage?’ ‘Well,’ said the fniJUer, smiling, ‘I will tell you.
