IMPERIAL
WINE BITTERS
A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and unadultered
Wine, combined with Barberry, Solomon's Seal
Condi'-cy. Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spikenard, fiaqinio-
mile Flowns and Gentian. They are manufactured
by Dr. Dials himself, who is au experienced and suc
cessful Physician, uml hence, should not be classed
among the qnuck nostrums, which tloodthe country',
and aguiust which the Medical profession are so justly
prejmliied. These truly valuable Bitters have not
been fairly before the public for one year, and yet
tliri e is a heavy demand fur them from all parts of
tlie Union.
Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35th Street, New Yoik,
says:
J have been greatly benefitted by uaing Dr. Dials’
Wiue Binera. and am now using them freely nnd sue
cessfully iu my practice. As a medicine for Females
I consider them unequaled.”
Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West 23d Street, says:
T have used Dr. Dods' Wine Bitters in my practice,
and in all cases wheie a tonic is required, I consider
them unsurpassed, anil cheerfully recommend them as
a valuable Faudly Medicine.”
Dr. Meacham. of Florida, says:
“ For several years 1 snffeied all the horrorR of Cron-
ic Dyspepsia. I used all other remedies without avail.
I discarded prejudice end used Dr. Dods’ Wine bitters
which have greatly benefitted me, and I believe will
cure me.”
Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y. says:
“My wife was sinking rapidly with consumytion; the
best physicians iu Aibauyaud New York city pronounc
ed her case hopeless. blie used Dr. Dials' VViiie Bit
ters; and i< cured.”
Mi. J. B. Stunts.of Newark, N. J.,says:
“My daughter was extremely ill; she had been at
tended by foul of our best physicians; her disease was
Iiifinuiatinn of the. Bowels, which had produced ex
treme debility. Her case was considered hopeless by
all who saw her. A friend recommended Dr. Dods'
Wiue Bitters; she used them and is well.”
Mr. Brittain, eiiiloi of the Banner of Light, in Boston
says:
“Dr. J. Bovee Dods’ Wise Bitters have cured me of
Piles of She worst and obstinate character.”
A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a
female friend gays:
“I would advise you to nse Dr. J. Bovee Dods’Im
perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, aud consider
them a blessing to or-r sex.”
We might wi ite a small volume, and then would not
give cue font lh of the Testimonials in our possession, as
to the virtue of these Valuable Bitters, but we will on
ly say that they ai e approved of by on; best Physicians,
arc doing much good in all parts of the country, aud
earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

Tbr Sword n.d the Fen.
BY WARBF.S MOSELEY, OF MIDWAY, GA.
Oh say not to me that the glittering blood stained
sword
Is more mighty than the peaceful pen.
Nor say that it wields a mightier or stronger
power
Over the hearts and the minds of men.
It’s tme that the sword is mighty to destroy
To fill our homes, ana the earth with gloom.
To crowd many leagnes red with gore
The downward pathway to the tomb.
To crush and blight the lonely widows heart,
To wake the Orphans mournful cry.
To fill the whole earth with wretchedness
With sin aud crime of the deepest dye.
It causes the Maiden's tears to start
Her bosom to heave with expiring throe.
When it drinks the blood of her true loveT's heart.
And sinks him in the arms of death so low.
But mightier and lovelier is the peacelul pen
Scattering and distributing the gems of the
miod
Like the Minshine of morn shedding her rays over
th« earth
To enlighten and save, and bless mankind.
And from its raging and destroying work
The gleaming and blood stained sword shall rest,
When with peace plenty and righteousness,
Our bloomiug earth and land is blessed.
Then, then doth the pen assert Us powers
And then mankind doth freely feel
That its influence has a mightier power
Than the blood-stained sword with its glittering
Steel.

commend them, also; to the public as per
fectly reliable and honorable men with
whom there need be no hesitation in deal
ing. As they have an abundance of leas
es to dispose of, which may be considered
certain to yield oil in larger quantities
than can be obtained in any other oil re

dispose of all the territory they have to
lease in a very short time.

The Truth about Man. Fateh — Hi* Lnit
Leap.
A correspondent of the Rochester Demo
crat takes exception to a statement con
cerning the renowned l^am Patch which
recently appeared in an English book, and
gives the correct version of tlie story of
that individual’s last leap. lie says:
Sam Patch’s last leap occurred on the
afternoon of the 15th of November, lfc<29,
on a cold, cloudy, dismal autumn day.—
l he heavens, as if in keeping with tLe
melancholy spectacle, were almost clothed
in sackcloth. The sun refused to look up
on the mournful tragedy. But ten thou
sand human beings, more thoughtless,
lined tlie banks of the river on both sides,
perched also upon the hills and houses,
and in trees, above and below the high
hank 1 -, to cheer and encourage the poor
drunken sui idc iu his self-immolation. A
scaffold was erected thirty feet high, on the.
island above the falls, ns they then were,
standing very near where the saw-mill up
on the brow of tlie cataract now is. Prom
the scaffold poor Sam dropped into the
deep water, as it then was below. Ten
thousand eager eyes watched him as he
went like an arrow down against the dark
ledge of rocks, a distance of one hundred
and twenty-six feet.
Ten thousand eager eyes gazed with
breathless anxiety npon the spot where he
fell, expecting to see him emerge from the
water, as he had done most gracefully just
one week before, after jumping from the
precifiice without the scaffold, a distance
of ninety-six feet; boais put out below,
and sailed around near the spot, ready to
pick him up. Ten thousand people, like
a great ciowd of witnesses, still lining the
cliffs, still straining their eyes to catch the
first glimpse of any dark speck onthe wa
ters, no one daring hardly to move or
draw a long breath, for nearly half an hour
until one by one they began to turn away
and give him up, many with tearful eyes,
many with words saddened and subdued
upon their lips, “Boor Sam—it was his
last leap. How fool hardy! How r wick
ed!” And some were heard to say, “How
w icked to countenance a miserable man in
such suicide! If we had not been looking
ou he would not have done it!”
For two long hours, at least until dark
ness stopped their work, eager men hun
ted all over and through the waters below
the fall, to find the poor remains of the
miserable victim of his own folly, hut
found them not. Next day the search
was renewed. Indeed, it was kept up
with more or less diligence for some time;
and yet all vain for that season. Search
ing, dragging, fishing in the waters day
after day revea'ed nothing. But the next
spring the body was picked up by some
unknown person near the mouth of the
river, seven miles below, as it was floating
out into the lake. It had Iain in the wa
ter all winter; and had gone down over the
lower falls also; and still was in such a
state of preservation as to he readily iden
tified. It was taken up, and decently
hurried in a spot of ground near at hand.
From the Petersburg (Va.) News.
Hale of Oil Eaada.
During the past week there have been
consummated at Burning Spring, Va.. two
extensive sales of oil lands, one, embrac
ing a portion of the Burning Spring prop
erty, and the other a portion of the farm
immediately opposite, on South hank of
the little Kanaw ha river.
lst.N. J. Camden purchased for him
self and others, of J. V. Rath bone, one
third interest in 200 acres of land on Bur
ning Spring Run and the little Kanawha
river, and one halfinterest in fifteen acres
of land lying within the above mentioned
200 acres. Rathbone, by this sale; trans
ferred, not only an interest in the unleased
land, but also the same share of all his
rents ot oil lands'previonsly lmscd.
The purchasers, comprising ti. D, Cam
den, J. N. Camden, J. J. Jackson, jr. t 31.
Edmiston, Matthew Harrison, W. L. Jack-
son, J. II. Weir, B. W, Byrne, and per
haps others, have fotmed themselves into
a joint company, under the name and style
of the Little Kannaw ha Burning Spring
Petroleum Company, w ith a capital stock
ofSIOO.OOO. J. J. Jackson, jr., has been
elected President, and J. N. Camden Sec
retary and Treasurer. The directors are

son, J.U. "Weir, and B. W. Byrne.

Jackson, nf Weston, and It. Snowden An
drews of Baltimore purchased all the in
terest of T. W. Henderson and David Pa-
den in acres of land on the opposite
side of the river for $80,000, and the Lit
tle Kanawha Burning Spring Petroleum
Company have since purchased a one-
third interest therein. *1 his latter sale is
contingent npon oil being founded on the
land; of which, however, there is hot lit
tle doubt.
These sales, averaging between fifteen
hundred and two thousand dollars per
acre, are of land which one year ago could
have been bought for less than tbe hun
dredth part of their present price. Aston
ishing as this may seem, it is yet deemed
the greatest bargain ever sold in this coun
try, as should the land continue to yield
oil, even in moderate quantities, the rents
alone for one year would be worth much
more than the purchase money. Tbe ac
tual value of the land can hardly he com
puted. Tbe Lewelly well, for instance,
which yielded five thousand dollars’ worth
of barreled oil in ten hours, and would poor
out, if unobstructed, oyer a thousand dol
lars worth of pore oil in an hour—who can
compute its value?
It is perhaps unnecessary for ns to slate
that the officers and directors of the Utile

Executive Department, t
February 28,1861. )
Gentlemen of the Congress-. With sin
cere deference to the judgment of the Con
gress, I have carefully considered the bill
in relation to the Slave Trade, and to pun
ish persons offending therein, but I have
not been able to approve, and therefore re
turn it, with a statement of my objections.
The Constitution, section 9 article I,
provides that the importation of African
negroes from any foreign country other
than the slaveholding States, is hereby
forbidden, and Congress is required to
pass such law s as shall effectually prevent
the same. Tbe rule hetein given is em
phatic, nnd distinctly directs legislation
which shall effectually prevent the impor
portation of African negroes. The bill be
fore me denounces as a high misdemeanor
the importation of negrors or other per
sons of color, either to be sold as slaves,
ov held to service or labor, affixing heavy
and degrading penalties on tlie act, if done
with such intent. To that extent it ac
cords with the requirement of the Consti
tution: hut in the Gth section of tlie bill
provision is made for the transfer of ne
groes who may have been illegally impor
ted into the Confederate States to the cus
tody of foreign States or societies, npon
condition of deportation and future free
dom: and if the proposition thus to surren
der them shall not he accepted, it is then
made the duty of the President to cause
said negroes to he. sold at public outcry to
tlie highest bidder, in any of tlie States
where such rates shall not be inconsistent
with the laws thereof, &c., &c.
T’liis latter provision seems to mein op
position to the policy declared in the Con
stitntion, of prohibition of the importation
of African negroes, and derogation of its
mandate to legislate for the effectuation of
that otject. Wherefore the bills is re
turned for your further consideration, to
gether with the objections.
Most respectfully submitted.

Fingers and Ring*.
The selections of fingers for the ring is
by no means an indifferent matter; it forms
a course of study. The index or first fin
ger next the thumb is the most majestic;
it is that which the Hebrews called the
finger of God, and is universally the indic
ative sign. It figures in advertisirg col
umns; on 6tgn-posts it is delineated issuing
from a clenched fist, to point ont the road
to follow; and tlie lover places it od his
lips to command silence and circumspec
tion. The gods of antiquity wore the
ring of authority on this finger, as an evi
dence of their omnipotence. TLe exam
ple is still imitated by the pope and car
dinals, bishops, and others, and it is of du
bious elegance. The second finger from
the thumb is tlie drum-major of tLe hand
and like children of a commanding height,
it seems as if its body bad grown to the de
triment of its comliness. Under officers of
the line, superior cooks, who have bad
their affections blighted, and men to whom
pbysicial develpment is an accomplish
ment. wear the ring on this finger The
favorite and popular finger has at all times
been the third from tbe thumb, and the
origin of this is so carious that we must not
pass it over in silence. It is maintained
that an artery leads from it directly to the
heart, and it is owing to this circumstance
that the marriage rings are placed on it.
Old apothecaries, in days of superstition,
mixed their prescriptions with this privi
leged finger, in presence of their patients.
The day of the thumb’s glory passed,
when it was ordered to open the touch-pan
and handle the cartridge by the aid of tbe
first finger. Formerly, soldiers and phy
sicians wore their rings upon tbe thumb
It was thought that this ring which was
usually very large, contained suitable cor
dials to disinfect a sick room, or reanimate
a wounded warrior.

From unanswerable facts and statistics,
it is evident that the great valleys the
Ohio and Alississippi were once tbe abode
of a mighty nation—civilized and refined,
warlike and brave—descendants of those
mighty nations to wlmm we have alluded,
and who settled in this country long be
fore the appearance of the Savior upon
the earth.
Near Lexington, Kentucky, are the re
mains of an ancient catacomb, formed in
the solid rock of limestone. This enriosi-
ty was discovered in the year 1776, by the
early settlers of that country. The mouth
of tlio cavern was carefully concealed
with stones, which on being removed,
opened into a cave of immense magni
tude.
The sides of this spacious apartment
were found npon examination, to he ent
into niches or compartments, occupied by
figures representing men. By further in
vestigation these figures were discovered
to he mummies—persons preserved by the
art of embalming, and exhibited a state
of perfection equal to that known at anj
time among tbe Egyptians; and yon will
hear in mind lhat this art was practiced
by that people, three thousand four hun
dred and seventy-five years previous to
this discovery in Kentncky. Tbe cata
comb was capable of holding two thousand
subjects.
Again there is found on the Ohio, near
twenty miles below Wabash river, anoth
er remarkable work of antiquity. It is
a very large cave with smooth perpendicu
lar walls, and a level floor. The walls
are covered with hieroglyphic figures cot
in solid stone, and are well executed.-—
Among them are representations of ani
mals unknown to the present generation
This cave is one of tbe greatest curiosi
ties on tbe Ohio, and i* connected with a
dark, dismal cavern, nearly tbe same sue
which is located directly above it, and
which is accessible through a cbimaey-Iike
aperture.

have been, from time to time, exhumed

BY COUSIN NICELY.
One frosty morning in antumn. as Mr-
Jones, the carpenter, was going with his
men to work in the town of Ashby, lie met
just at tbe entrance of the town, a pale fa
ced thinly clothed boy, who, aAer looking
at him earnestly for a moment, asked ‘Aro
you a carpenter and do yon wish an ap
prentice?’ Well, I don’t know; what’s
your name my lad,’ said the carpenter
with a kind smile*
‘Charley Mason’ was the answer. ‘And
where is your home Master Charley?’ con
tinued good Mr Jcnes. Big tears came into
the boy’s bright black eyes, ami his voice
trembled as he said ‘I have no home; my
father and mother both died before 1 can
remember.’
Mr.Jones thought of his own dear boys,
and he placed his band kindly upon Char
ley’s head, saying ‘Poor boy, where have
you lived?’
•With my uncle, hut I left his house last
night, determined to starve before I would
he longer dependent on a man who grudged
his dead brother’s child the bread he ate”
and Charley’s eyes burned with a stange
light.
The good carpenter wiped away the
tears from his eyes with the back of his
hand, and asked ‘Do yon think you can
learn to be a carpenter?’ ‘I think I can
try, said Charley, proudly drawing him
self up. ‘Ah! I like that, and if that is
to be yonr watchword, 1 think yon and I
can get on nicely but I suppose you’ve had
no breakfast,” continned Mr. Jones, “so
we must send Torn back to show you the
bouse, where you will stay till we come
home to dinner, and then we'll talk a lit
tle about your being a carpenter.” Tom, a
little colored boy who did errands for 3Ir.
Jones, readily went back with Charley,
taking himself the little bundle tied np
in an old blue handkerchief, which con
tained all Charley’s earthly possessions.
Mrs. Jones proved as kind as her husband,
and the poor, tired, hungry hoy was soon
enjoying a bountiful breakfast. When
Mr. Jones came home, he had a long talk
with Charley, who finxlly became his ap
prentice. l*e was to work four years for
his food and clothes, having besides the
privilege of attending school four months
in each year.
‘That isn’t much time for learning ’ said
Charley to himself that night, ‘but 1 guess
I can get a chance to learn something out
of school; anyhow, I can try.’ And he
did try, and succeeded so well that Mr.
Jones said to him at the ciose of the first
winter, ‘well Charley, the master says
you are one of the best boys in school
and thinks we’ll make something of
yon by and by. with that watchwo.d of
yours: but, my boy, do you think you will
like work as well as study?”
‘No, sir; but I’ll work that I may stndy,
was the answer. All through the spring,
the summer and the autumn, Charley wor
ked, earnestly, faithfully and at the close
of each day, tired as he was, he always
contrived to get a little time for study.
Say, Charley,’ said Willie Jones, one
night, ‘all the < oys say you are a dull prig;
what makes you so sober? Why don’t
yon come out of an evening and not stay
moped up in the house with a book all tbe
time?* 1 mi st STUDY,’ said Charley grave
ly. 1 shall want to go to college by and
by.’ ‘O pob! poll!’ laughed Willie,’ that’s
a good one; why father can’t send any one
of us to college, and how are yon ever go
ing, when you don’t have anybody to help
you?’
Perhaps I never can, but ‘I can try’. ’I
don’t wander father calls it your watch
word; do you ever expect to know enoughto
go to college?’ ‘Yes. if I live,’ said Char
ley seriously. But what does a carpenter
wan’t to gc to college for? ’persisted Wil
lie; ‘Idon’t see any use in it. ‘Willie.’said
Charley, speaking in a quick excited way,
‘you musn’t ask me any more questions:
but I’ll tell you, I don’t alw*ays mean to
be a carpenter.’
Week after week, month after month,
year 8fter year.Charley Mason kept on hia
coarse, never idle never unfaithful; he yet
worked as though be had some higher ob
ject in view, and night after night found
him bending over his hooks, heedless ef
the sport in which the hoys tried tomqke
him join. The four years came to an
er.d, and Mr. Jones now gave him
wages for his work, saying, ‘1 know you’ll
be worth two common hands to me, Char
ley,’ and so he was, working and study
ing, now harder than ever, for he was fast
reaching the point at which be aimed.
It was well known now, that Charley
had decided to be a minister, and that he
was now at work to earn money to assist
him in his studies. About the time that
his term as apprentice expired, Mr. Jones
contracted to build a church in Ashby,
and of course. Charley was employed up
on it. One day while they were at work
ou the roof, Willie Jones called out,
‘Say, Charley, anybody would think you
expected to preach in this church, by tbe
way you put on those shingles.’ ‘Strang
er things than that have happened,’said
Charley quietly. A laugh from the work
men, and then the incident was forgotten.
Charley achieved his darling plan of
entering college; though in doing so, he
overcame many an obstacle at which even
stonter hearts would have quailed, but he
said “God help those who help themselves
and I can try.”
His college life was a hard one, for he
was still dependent on his own exertions,
and it would make your heart ache to hear
of his privations, yet he never complained
but kept earnestly to his one purpose and
nobly has he accomplished it.
1 his day Charley Mason is pastor of the
congregation who worship in the very
church be helped to build, and hundreds
look ap to him and bless him as their
guide to heaven. Remember bis watch
word, boys; remember, that with God’s
blessing upon earnest, faithful, untiring
effort you may too become like him, good
and useful men, men who perhaps may
be unknown in the great world, but men
blessed of God and of yetir fellows. Who
would not rather be good than great, yet
who shall say that Charley Mason was
not a here? And'is he not now laboring
te guide sinful men to Heaven? Is be not,
1 say, a greater as well as a better man,
than theleader of vast annies or the rules
of nation*? . JU
