MILLIONS Bear Tentimonv »o their
Wonderful Curative Effect n.
They arc not a vile Fancy Drink, inadcot Poor
Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li
quors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers.” “Restorers,” &c., that
lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine.made from the Native Iloots and Herbs‘of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the GREAT HI.ODD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of tho System, carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the Mood to a healthy con
dition. No person can take tl»c3c Bitters according to
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones
are’ not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond tlu\ point of repair.
They arc a Gentle Purgative as well as 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 have no equal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma
tism and Gout, Dyspepsia or ludigestiou, Bil
ious, Kcmitteut and Intermittent ! Fevers*
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys nud
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.
Such Diseases arc caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR IN DIGESTION, Headache,
Pain in the Slioulders.Coughs, Tightness of the Chest
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the
oflsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate tho torpid
Liver and Bowels, which rendef them of unequalled effi
cacy in clonusing the blood of all impurities, and impart
ing new life and vigor to the Whole system. *
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal
Rbcum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Byes, Erysipelas,
Itch,Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis,
oases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
conviuco the most incredulous of their 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 in tho veins; cleanse it when it b foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep tho blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
Pin, Tape, nuil oilier 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 tho presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
(fyfltem of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

Bs in Earnest-
Bo in earnest! If you have any
thing to accomplish, go at it with a
will, and let no barrier deter you
that may he gone round, borne
down, or climbed over. Longing
and wishing, although they may
open the door for action, amount to
very little unless the feel are swift
and the hands willing; unless the
purpose is ardent, the will-power
strong, anj faith looks daringly for
ward to the consummation.
Be in earnest! If you have a
ditch to dig, or a shirt to make, do
not repine and sigh over the drudge
ry of file, hut bend yourself to the
task, and he assured that the strong
est man or most expert woman could
have done the same no better, and
then surely, you may glory a little
in its completion.
A blacksmith may, and lias be
come world renowned, not because
the work was grand, hut it was done
grandly. He look the same rough
iron as his smutty companion, hut
gave it more thought, more turns
and brighter palish, and would ho
satisfied only with the best, so woke
up one morning to find Limself fa
mous.
lie in earnest! If you are talking
to another let him or her feel tint your
longue utters the convictions ol
your soul, ami that your actions are
the results ol true and tried princi
ple; then, he ite fiietid or loe, he
will know where you stand and he
prepared to meet you lace to lace.
Look around you. Is there any
thing in life that does not require
your mightiest help or < ffurt? The
world is lull of shadows where only
strong hare arms are needed to clear
away the rubbish and broken
houghs, to let the warm sunshine,
lay caressingly in the ilaik'-ried
placesand quicken into file the g> t ins
ol sweetest llowers i lint, hid be
neath seared, witheted leaves, lay
chill and dead amid damp aud
frost.
Be in earnest! You have hut
one to-day, and when it is gone it
is gone forever. The sun bends
steadily to the western horizon, and
your sheave must he cut and hound
while the day lasts, if you would
count them with satisfaction at the
twilight hour. There is not a mo
ment to he wasted. .Morning and
evening, seed-time and harvest give
you the same loud call to the vine
yard of file, and furnish labor anti
reward to every willing worker.
“The keen spirit seizes the prompt
occasion, makes the thoughts start
into action.,, and at once plans am!
performs, resolves and executes.”
Glance over the field and mark the
glorious work. There are laws to
he made, sermons to he preached,
and pictures to he painted. There
are wrongs to he met, vices to be
uprooted, and right to be made tri
urnphant. There are hearts to be
comforted, feeble efforts to be en
couraged, and zeal tube kindled by
your own. Ar.d for these you can
only be prepared by giving your
whole heart to present duties, and
Li}’ doing the lowest work as well
as it can possibly be done. Then
when new labor and higher work
comes, it will he taken up joyfully,
and the ability will grow with the
occasion.
Be in earnest! Get up in the
morning. “Let no grass grow un
der your feel.” If you have a log
to chop, make your axe fly and let
the chips attest to your industry. If
you have a lesson to learn, put heart
and brain to the effort, that the
harvest of knowledge may be plen
teous and golden. And whether
you have a sermon to preach or a
shoe to peg, dishes to wash or a
hook to write, he in earnest —earn-
est in your speech, earnest in your
actions, earnest in your life, never
forgetting the text, “Whatever
yeur hands find to do, do it with all
your might.”
“Let us, then be up and doing
With a heart for every fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.’’

Our Beautiful South.
It will not be long before the tour
ist seeking to enjoy the beauties of
nature and the pleasures of travel
will learn that within the limits of
the Southern Slates he can find all
that the most exacting taste can de
mand, or the most enthusiastic devo
tee of beauty can desire. All that
is necessary is that the increase of
traveling facilities should continue
for the next few years as they have
during the past year, and the entire
country will be covered by a com
plete network of railroads. Should
he lake pleasure in the grandeur of
mountain scenery, in the western
portions of Virginia and North Car
olina and East Tennessee, he can
find it as rough and rugged as in the
most romantic regions of the old
world. Should he prefer the pleas-
ing pictures ol Woods and flown rs, of
rivers tin.l Likes, the balmy breezes
ol Florida wall woo him to their soft
j embrace. He can find the jungles
'of India in the wilds ot Arkansas,
| the pampas of South America on the
plains of Texas the fertility ol the
Nile in the fields ol Alabama and
Mississippi and le ni-iana, a gener
ous hospitality in the homes of the
genial Geoigians, the beauty of an
English meadow in the blue grass
regions of Kentucky, tin* courtly
cultivation of a kingly race in the
unconquerable Carolinian, the more
mellowing influence of an older civ-
ilization upon the quiet firms of Ma
ryland, the mighty movements of
modern energy in the magnificent
development of Missouri. It em
i>ra estvery variety of climate from
the soft ami delicious atmosphere ol
Florida to the cool and bracing air
ol Virginia. It affords every spe
cies ol bird and beast and lisli an I
lowi tlint can tempt the skill of the

reservoirs of perennial richness, upon
whose broad bosoms are borne the
bread to bless the distant nations, or
carried the cotton to clothe the con
tinent. From it-flow ers float a fra
grance that fills to fulness Hie aro
matic air, while their gorgeous gll i>-
give a grace fed glory to the green

&3v. Vance on Independent Candidates,
Hogs, Old Whigs, Radicals, etc.
Gov. Vance, a few days ago, at
Statesville, N. C., made an amusing
speech, from which we make the
following extracts. Head and laugh:
One fellow will tell you that he is
an old W-li-i g, and don’t like the
Democrats and Secessionists; that
they brought on the war and ate re
sponsible tor all the ruin of the coun
try, and therefore they think they
had better go over. [Laughter.] Now
I have this to say about that: l.i the
first place, these Secessionists, alone,
were not responsible for the war.
The Northern Abolitionists had, in
my opinion, more to do in bringing
on the war than anybody else. But
suppose the Democrats were to
blame for it, how does that affect
the question? What excuse does
that give for lending your influence
to a party that is robbing the coun
try of the little the war left it? Sup
pose I was a Democrat at the be
ginning of the war (which I never
was,) or a Secessionist (which I nev
er have been,) or that I helped to
bring on the war, (which I never
did,) is that any reason why you
should take to stealing ? [Laughter.]
Suppose a neighbor should catch
you robbing Ins hen roost, do you
think it would be a good excuse to
say, Why, I wouldn’t have stolen
these it Vance hadn’t brought on this
war ? [More laughter.]
Now, I want to tell you some of
the symptoms of a fellow when he
begins to turn over. He first begins
to talk about being ‘ independent .’ He
is not tied down to any parly, and
will vote for whathe thinks best, etc.
According to the diagonosis of the
most skillful political doctors, this
symptom means the same thing as
the sheriff'there says when he leads
a horse out to the block and cries
out, ‘who says, gentlemen, and how
much?’ [Applause.] This is an in
dependent horse! [Great applause.]
In other words, he’s for sale. A man
who is devoted to principle san’t be
independent. His principles con
strain him to vote with that party
which will carry them out. The next
system is an intense love of old
whiggery. [Laughter and applause.]
When this comes out strong you may
appoint the funeral. Radway’s Rea
dy Relief can’t save him. [Great
laughter and continued applause.] I
do protest and bog thut if any man
wants to join the Radical party, he
won’t prostitute the name of old
Whigs. The old Whig parly was
at least a decent party. The Dem
ocrats in olden times used to call it
aristocratic, and to some extent it
was. I can see now many of these
old fellows who to dress with
scrupulous ueatness, their bools so
black and shiny that a puppy would
bark at his image in them all day,
[laughter,] his shirt collar white as
paper and stiff’a# pasteboarJ,- in his
pocket he carried a copy of the Na
tional Intelligencer, and blowed his
nose with the sound of a trumpet in a
red bandanna handkerchief. [Great
laughter and applause.] Such men
were the very salt of the earth for
personal and political uprightness.
They elevated no thieves and pub
lic plunderers to high positions in
the government ; they made no Lit
llt*fields the guardians of their Slate
bonds; they find no Sam. Watts
nor Jaybird .1 -ties on ttie bench.
They associated politically with no
Cuffy Mayo l)ewee»e. A. J. June-,
Winds' Billy's, ami Jordan Cham
bers. [Applause.]
This profane use of the name of
Whig reminds me of a circumstance
that happened once in my law office.
A fellow came in one iiav, and, ink-
ing a seat, with a sheepish counte
nance said, “Govi rnor, me and an
other gentleman lias got into a little
scrape, and I want you to help us
out ot it.” “What soil of a scrape ?”
said I. “W-e-l I, it- a kind of dis
pute,” Slid he. “But what kind ol
a dispute f ’ stud I. “Well,” said
he again, “it’s a mailer consumin' of
hogs.” [Laughter. | “Well, how
concerning hog- ?” said I. “Well,”
said he, “I believe he accuses me ol
taking oneol ’em." [Great laughter.]
He didn't want to call it by it_- right
name. Now , it any ol you want to
go over to gel your share of this plun
der that’s going round, don't put it
on “old \Yiiigg. rv.” [Great lauglt
t'-’r.] Don’t call it u ‘matter of lings.'
hut c line out openly and call it by
its true name —.l matter of stealing.
[Continued npp! ujse and laughter.]
Soule m n pretend to liuil a great
similarity between the doctrines of
the old Whig party and Radicalism.
There never was a giealer mistake.
There is no Wltiggery in tiny ol these
violations ol tire Constitution aud
outrages upon civil liberty that I
have mentioned. Light is not more
yvidely separated from darkness than
are the principles which distingui-h
these two parties. Just imagine, it
you can, Henry Clay wallowing in
the same bed w ith Billy Holden, the
Hon. Cully M ty<>, and VViu iv Billy
Henderson ; an I Dauit I Webster
stirring them with a stick. [Uprmi
oib laughter] 1 repeal, if you have
any inkling lor the flesh pots of Egypt
say so, and he done win it. Belike
the girl when her bashful sweetheart,
ashamed to speak his mind, sat anti
syvallowed his spittle in stupid etn
barrassment, and kepi pressing her
foot yvith his under the table. She
finally exclaimed, “John, if you love
me, why can't you say so, like a
man, and quit dirtying my clean
stockings. [Gre.it laughter.]
Look also at the political perse
cution to which they are subjecting
the people in the Federal courts un
der this infamous unconstitutional
kuklux act. I have heard it staled
that there are 2,000 defendants in
dicted and to he tried at Raleigh,
no doubt before a packed jury of
Radicals, as others have been tried,
no one of whom is charged wills tak
ing file or for any other offence
which would amount to more in our
State courts than assault and batte
ry ot a foicible trespass. I have
seen five or six hundred passing
through Charlotte at one lime, of
men, women, and children, going
tyvo hundred and fifty miles from
home to allend court, some yvith
their rations tied up in rags, leaving
their farms to neglect and ruin, with
little or no money, and compelled
for want of means to camp out in
crowds without a shelter over
their heads, for sveeks at a lime.
How such a sight does fill me with
love and admiration for the Govern
ment! The object of all this is ap
parent enough. One of their most
distinguished tnen had the impu
dence to tell me that they intended
to run enough of our citizens away
by ku-klux prosecutions to carry the
State in the next elections. I told
him, if you undertake to do that 1
will issue a proclamation telling them
all to cotne hack. [Laughter and
applause.] I only tell you yvhat I
had from the mouths of their own
leaders. Still some men pretend
that they are not satisfied with the
progress that the Democracy are
making to restore a proper rule to
the country, and they make a thou
sand objections to continuing in the
Conservative ranks.

Some Discount. —One pleasant
motiimg, some two or three years
ago, a party of gentlemen (one of
them a well known dry goods mer
chant) were standing on the steps of
the Tremont House, in Boston, en
joying their cigars, when they no
ticed a country-looking chap riding
a slim, mangy horse up and down
the street, in front of the hotel, ap
parently trying to attract the atten
tion ot the group. One of them says,
“I’ll bet that fellow has a horse tor
sale. We’ll see.” Presently along
