load the tippler on to drunkenness tuid ruin, but ore atruo
iledicinc.made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Call
fomln, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They axe the GREAT 111*001> PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and In vigor ator of tho System, carrying off all
poisonou s matter and restoring tho blood to a healthy con
dition. No person can toko those Ritters according to
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bonea
are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and tho vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well ns a
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young*or
old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters havo no equal.
For Inflammatory ami Chronic Rheuma
tism und Gout, Dyspcpaln or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent nnd Intermittent Fevers,
IHhcuach of tlie lllood, Liver, Kidneys and
Olndder, these Bitters have been most successful.
Such Riricaaes aro caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of tho Di

DYSPEPSIA OR. INDIGESTION. Headache,
I’iiinln the Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of the Chest

in the Mouth, Bilious Attack*. Palpitation of the Heart,
inllainmation of tho Lungs. Pain in the regions of the
Kidneys, nn>l a hundred other painful symptoms, aro the
oflspvings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi
cacy in cleansing tho blood of all impurities, and import
ing new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions, Tetter, Bah
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Puatules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch. Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dig.
eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
tlio use ot these Bit lers. One bottle in such ease* will
convince the most incredulous ofthelr curative effects.
Cleanse the, Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish iu the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth
whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseaacd humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

The Dead.
BY EMILY C. HUNTINGTON.
Why should we only link our
j dead to thoughts ot' the colliit and
i the filtering shroud, and never sur
! round them as we do the living witli
| the light of beautiful fancies and
j sweet imaginings ? Why should we
turn shuddering away from the
thought ol those whose memory,
when living, was a cherished thing,
because the hand ol the .Merciful
I has given his beloved sleep f Are
i i hey not beautiful, those quiet forms ?
■ Is there not peace upon their pale
j brows and on their stirless lips r Lie
| not the hands lightly over the bosom,
and is the slumber less happy than
tiial which falls with llie night
shadows, because no dreams are
hunting it, anil because they wake
from it in the shadowless sunlight of
eternity ! A little child, almost m dh
erless. The father, with heart well
nigh sinking with its pain, took the
child iu his aims and carried him to
the room where the lost one lay in
her pale beauty. Fora moment I Be
little one gazed silently upon her,
then lifting his radiant face exclaim
ed earnestly, “Beautiful mamma !"
The father loldc.i the little artless
comforter closer to his heart and
murmured softly, “Ay, beautiful —
lovely in life, and surely far more
lovely now that ‘the light of immor
tal'beauty silently covers her face.’ ’’ j
Yes, call them beautiful—our
beautiful dead. Think of them a!-!
ways as at rest with the blessed.— ,
Think of the white robes and the j
tuneful harps ; of the spirit wreaths
bound about their shadowless brows, i
Think of the hands that bore Ihe j
cross so wearily here, now lifted be
fore the great white throne ; of the
voice that trembled with its lent fill
pleading, now full and clear swell
ing the chantings in the upper tem
ple’s choir. Think how the feel
that faltered and bled along a rough
and darkened way, now tread the
slreets of that golden city where
they have no need of the sun nor of
the moon, for the Lord is the liglu
thereof.
Mother! is ihere a household
name that was once upon thy lips
like this very breath, but now is on
ly uttered with teats and trembling,
so saddening it has grown with its
visions of the churchyard marbles?
Is the cradle empty, mother? Did
the little hand waste and stiffen and
slip slowly away from thy clasp :
and the little waxen limbs, so ten
derly folded away from the cold, are
they crumbling under (he daisies ?
Have you seen ihe quivering eyes!
upturned lo your face as if pleading
with you to save your baby from its
agony ? Ah i yes ; and the baby is
dead now— dead, and all the living
seem not half so dear as '‘the little
hindering thing" that is gone. Yet
“it is well with the child.” The lit
tle wandering lamb is safe within
the fold, instead of crossing these
bleak and wintery moors of life.—
Lay the liny hands upon its breast,
there will be no cross for them to
bear ; close the waxen lids over ihe
eyes that will never look upon sor
row ; kiss the dear lips that never
learned to syllable our earthly
words, and say thankfully, “Ah !
the blessed baby ! it has gone to the
beautiful dead.”
Gone lienee! Gone to the death
less lapd! Why do we call this
green caith, all dotted as it is with
graves, “the land of the living ?”
Why do we say of our beloved, they
are still in the land of the living,
while they wander here where
sweetest anthems die away in sob
bings low ? Ah ! they who reach
that “land of the living,” go no more
out fotever. There is a city whose
inhabitants shall not say, lam sick;
there is a land over whose flowers
the shadow of the destroyer never
falls, “and there is no night there.”
They are there, our beautiful, our
blessed dead, and in the hereafter,
when lire sun of our little life goes
down behind the mountains of eter
nity, we shall join them in that land
of the living, and when the sea is
past it will matter not how mourn
fully its billows once moaned upon
(lie shore.
With many readers, brilliancy of
style passes ior affluence of thought;
they mistake bulter-cups in the grass"
for immeasurable gold mines under,
ground.
When thou mnkest piesenis, tel
them be ol such things as will last
long; to the cud they may be in
some sort inuuorUd, and may fre
quently refresh the memory of lire
receiver.
Os all passions, jealousy is that
which exacts lire hardest service,
and pays the bitterest wages. Its
service i*—to watch the success of
our enemy; Us wages—to be sure
of it.
No. 33.
f \ ouuDLisM in Louisiana. The
Planter’s Banner says: The conjur
ing mania seems to lie on tl,e increase
among the negroes of.St. Mary and
along the Tee he in Louisiana.—
Though one ot the most foolish things
on earth, the negroes have an unsha
keneti confidence in it. Any old
rough-looking negro, with an old L>f.g
containing hones,.hair, iizurd heads,
and othtrends of traps and irash, in
; keeping with a wild African imagiua
i tion, eau pass himself oil as a con
jurer, and the negroes arc all afraid
ol'liiin. fie pretends lohnvepow
' er to put spells upon other negroes,
sickness, insanity, dehrSions and
death ai his will. TANARUS! any negro is
sick and the disease is a little odd in
its symptoms, the wild tancy of the.
negro immediately attributes the ill
ness to voudouism.
It astonishing to nuiieo the aiaun
which these negro .impostors create
among their own race. The.cuuuing
"I some ot these conjurers is often
rrinarktilile. Last season, one of
them collected some live lizards, and,
attending a voudoned patient, pre
temlerl to take one of these reptiles
Ironi her arm. He would allow no
one to see him (.loir, hot us soon ns
it was done he sent to the held, and
the hands rushed to the quarters io
see the reinaikauic heard which had
just been extracted Jrotn the arm of
the woman, who liar weeks had not
keen able io do anything on account
of the In >rrid infirmity inflicted upon
her hy a conjurer.
d'lio same crifiy conjuror made a
practice of collecting the youngest
alligators he could find in the
swamps, using them for the same
purpose as he used the lizards. So
fur us we can learn, all the genuine
pure-blooded Africans believe in
\ oudouisin to a greater or less ex,-
tent. It is a part ml thyii nature,
inherited irons tlicir African ances
tors, and it will go down to their
poster! ly through? a thousand gener
ations, if the race does not become
extinct.
Inflammation of run Kidneys
t.\ Cattle.—Cattle ate occasion
ally subject to inflammation of die
kidneys, hearing considerable re
semblance to acute red water, but
attended by more symptoms of pure
inflammation of that organ in other
animals. At first there ufe' seldom
any indications of disease beyond a
straining effort in voiding urine, and
which is ejected forcibly and„ in
small quantities, the loins bcingmore
than usually tender, and pejhaps a
little hot. In a day or two after
ward, the beast becomes dull, and
careless about its food, the difficulty
of stalling increases; blood is per
ceived to mingle with the mine ; tlie
horns and ears cold, the pulse fre
quent and hard, and the. breathing
quickened. Diarrhoea or dysentery
is now observed ; the evacuations
ate fetid; they, too, are discharged
with effort and in diminished quan
tities, and at length cease trf appear.
The difficulty ofpassing the urine
becomes greater, the animal strange
ly buws its back and giQaus. .witli
pain, and if not relieved, becomes
paralyzed behind and dies in three
or lour days. The treatment con -
sists of plentiful bleeding, active
purging, emollient clysters, fomen
tation over tbedoinsyor an applica
tion ofa mustard poultice to them,
bran mashes, gruel and a small
quantity of succulent food.
At) VANTAGES OF CRYING. A
French physician is out in a long*
