A Sister of Mercy Worthy of the
Martyts. We copy the following from
tli° editorial columns of the Savannah
Kcivs. It portrays a truthful picture, in
addition to its beauties a masterp.ece of
composition:
The Sister of Mercy. —An incident
of scarce a line, some poor half dozen
words condensed to the utmost of tele
graphic brevity, the episode of a life as
likely to pass unnoticed and to he for
ever lost, one slender beam of purest
light piercing the murky clouds of battles
—one poor flower blooming in a jungle
of thorns, yet worthy of emblazoning in
letters of gold on the black tablet of
passing events; all that was told was of
a Sister of Mercy, who, tenderly caring
for a fallen soldier, stricken down in the
storm of the battle, receives herself a
fearful wound, rallies for awhile, then dies
with placid smile on her holy lips.
God save us from taking a title from
the guerdon of praise due to the thou
sands of heroic dead, whether French or
Prussians, unknown soldiers or historic
generals, who, with their last gasps, the
cry of defiance on tin ir lips, their faces
to the foe, their weapons in their hands,
sank lifeless ou the sou: this frail woman,
inspired by faith alone, her gentle limbs
nerved to the cruel task, severe and
calm whilst breathing a whirlwind of
plunging-hissing deaths, without blanch
ing or quailing, steadily j. ursues her sa
cred mission amidst horrors indescriba
ble, until some cruel missile changing
her to the mangled semblance of human
form, she left this earth and mounted to
heaven, bearing the martyr crown upon
her lovely head.
What should we know her name ? It
would give us nothing save a passing
sound, the fact itself is all we care for!
God in His great mercy will treasure it!
If of things earthly there is any good,
may she find sepulchre in some quiet
grave—where ere sleeps our sister will
be chnsecrated ground—over her may the
sweet breath of wild flowers mingle their
perfumes with the songs of passing birds!
Man can but coarsely praise such acts
of piety, it behooves the the Creator
alone to reward sublime devotion.

Complimentary to General R. £.
Lee. —The New York Express , in
commenting on the surrender of Se
dan, alludes to General 11. E. Lee in
the following complimentary manner:
We can only infer what might be
done from what was really done duriD fr our
own rebellion. The Confederate General
Lee, with half-naked, half-starved armv,
or remains of an army, of some forty or
fifty thousand men, we all know, held
General Grant at bay before Richmond
for some sis months, with 200,000 men,
more or less, and only surrendered when
the commissariat had distributed the
last crust and the last ounce of powder.
If that French army at Sedan had had
leaders with some of Lee’s brains and
pluck, Frenchmen would not have had
to blush to-day L»r so inglorious a sur
render.
A TORPID SYSTEM.
Sometimes, without any assignable
cause, the physical strength and animal
spirits give away, and a strange torpor
falls alike ou the body and intellect.
There is little or no pain perhaps, but
the natural vigor and elasticity of the
nervous and muscuiar system seems to
have departed, and an indifference to
the pleasures of life, and even of its grave
responsibilities, takes the place of that
earnest interest in both which charac
terizes every well balanced mind when in
a healthy condition.
This state of partial collapse is often
the premonitory symptoms of some
serious malady. It indicates unmis
takably that the vital powers are lan
guishing and need a stimulant. In such
cases the effect of a few doses of Hostet
tor’s Stomach Bitters is wonderfully
beneficial. The great tonic wakes up the
system from its drowse. The secretions and
and the circulation receive anew impetus.
The relaxed nerves recover their
elasticity under the operations of the
specific like the slackened strength of a
musical instrument in the process of
timing. Lethargy and debility are re
placed by energy and vigor, the spirits
rise, and life that almost seemed a bur
den with the season of depression lasted,
becomes once more enjoyable. That
such a radical change should be produc
ed by a remedy entirely devoid of the
powerful alkaloids and minerals so ex
tensively used in modern practice, may
seem incredible to those who pin their
faith on the medicinal efficacy of active
poisjns, but if these skeptics will take
the trouble to enquire of those who have
tested the corrective and alterative vir
tues of the Bitters under the circum
stances described, they will find the
statement to be true.

FACTS FOR THE LADIES.
John Sibley deposed: I must de
clare the Wheeler & Wilson to be the
the most wonderful and comprehensive
sewing mechanism ever put in the
American market. It is the simplest as
well as the most cunning in principle.
There is genius and high mechanical
ability in its arrangement, and therefore
it is most reliable and easy to keep in
order. There is a directness of connec
tion between the pewer and the result,
never found by me in the devices of any
other inventor, and the mechanical results
follow of the highest possible speed, quiet
aud easy movement, which make it a de
light to mechanicians. I think it just
to denominate it one of the marvels of
the age.

THE “PAINKILLER.”
This celebrated medicine has won a deservedly
high reputation as an alieviator of pain and a preser
ver of health. It has become a household remedy,
from the fact that it gives immediate and permanent
relief, It is a purely vegetable preparation, made
from the best and purest materials, safe to keep and
to use iu every family. It is recommended by physi
cians and persons of all classes, and to-day, after a
public trial of thirty yearss—the average life of man
—it stands unrivalled and unexcelled, spreading its
usefulness over the wide world. Its large aud in
creasing sale affords positive evidence of its endur
ing fame. We do not deem it necessary to say much
in its favor as oue small bottle will do more to con
vince you of its efficacy than all the advertisements
in the world. Give it one favor trial and you would
not be without it for ten times its cost.
