Have the Courage to Say No. You’re starting-to-day on life’s journey, Alone on a highway of life ; You’ll meet with a thousand temptations ; Each city with evil is rife. This world is a stage of excitement; There’s danger wherever yon go ; Bat if you are tempted iu weakness, Have courage my boy to say No. The syren's sweet song may allure you ; Beware of her cunning and art; Whenever you sec her approaching, Be guarded aud haste to depart. The billiard saloons are inviting,' Decked out in their tinsel and show ; You may be invited to enter— Have courage my boy, fc> say No. The bright, ruby wine may be offered, No matter ho .v tempting it be ; Front poison that stings like an adder, My boy, have tne courage to flee. The gambling lmlls are below you, Their lights, flow they dance to and fro! If you would be tempted to enter, Think twice, even thrice, ere you go. In courage alone lies your safety, When you the long journey begin, And trust iu the Heavenly Father, Who will beep you unspotted from sin. Temptations will go on increasing, As streams from a rivulet flow ; But if you aro true to manhood, Have courage, my boy, to say No. Samana Bay. —Our Government has long hud its eyes upon the Buy of Sam ana and tbe penin-su'a protecting sit, at the island of Hayti, and a naval station, and negotiation for its purchase'have, iu former years, been had. But all efforts to this end failed, for some reason.— Recently these negotiations wero re newed, and wo are uow told that they have resulted in a lease of the coveted prize, for fifty years, at a rent of $150,- 1)00 a year, and that the first year’s rent lias been paid and possession taken. It seems a big price to pay, but it may be worth it, as we may thereby not only thus secure this new possession in the tropjes as our permanent territory, but with it. in due time, the whole of Bt. Domingo also, aud perhaps the rest of the island besides. This bay is situated at the northeast end of the Island, on/ the coast of St. Domingo; of which ‘republic’ we ob tain it. Its protecting peninsula, which we also secure by this purchased is 32 miles long, extending from cast to west, and ten or eleven miles wide. It was once an island but the strip of water separating it from Ban Domingo has been filled up by natural agencies, and a land connection is thus made with the main island. Its immediate value is supported to refer to our naval and com mercial marine; audits advantages as a navel station and coaling depot are no xioubt important. The harbor is one of tho finest ia the world, and occupies a commanding commercial and military position. The Island of Hayti is about 400 miles loDg and 100 wide, and is divided between two governments—that of Hayti and St. Domingo. Tbe island is very rich in commercial woods*, coffee, and all the natural tropical resources; and also in a large variety of valuable minerals. It lias two great ranges of mountains, and climates of all varieties, from that of New England to the most fervent of the torrid zone. In the hilly country at thfc North it is one unending spring. Our. new possession, though much of it is low and marshy, and hot, extends nearly to the borders of this hil ly northern region of perpetual May, and in this purchase of Bam an a itself is included Bugar loaf hill, 2,000 feet high. The year is not distant when extensive portions of the island of Hayti will be UDder sugar cultivation. It has been sadly misued, under its wretched ex periments at negro government, and Spanish half blood rule.

I shall never forget my first vision of William Denton. It was in the Court house at Little Rock, Arkansas, in the summer of 1834. The occasion itself possessed a terrible interest, well calcu lated to fix in the memory ail its circum stances. A vast concourse of specta tors had assembled to witness the trial of a young and very beautiful girl on au indictment for murder. Tho Judge waited at the moment for the sheriff to bring in his prisoner, and the eyes of the impatient multitude eagerly watch* ed the door for the expected advent, when suddenly a stranger entered, whose remarkable appearance riveted universal attention. Here is his por trait done as accurately as pea can sketch it. A figure, tall, lean and sir.ewy and straight as an-a-row; brow y-nsri’.'C, soaring, and smooth* as polish marble, intersected by a large blue vein forked like the tongue of a serpent; eyes red dish yellow, resembling a wrathful ea gle’s eye—as brilliant as fearfully pier cing ; and finally, a mouth, slight, cold and sneering—the living embodiment of unbrealhed curses ! He was habited in leather, ornamented, after the fashion of Indian costume, with beads of every color in the rainbow. Elbowing his way proudly and slowly through tho throng, and seemingly alto gether unconcious that lie was regard ed as a phenomenon that needqd expla nation, the singular being advanced, aud with the haughty air of a king tak ing his throne, seated himself witliin the bar, crowded as it was with the dis ciples of Coke and Blackstone, several of whom, it was known, esteemed them selves lar superior to those old and fa mous masters. The contrast between tho disdainful countenance and outlandish garb of the stranger excited especially the risibility ot the lawyers, and the junior member began a suppressed titter, which soon grew louder and swept around the cir cle. They doubtless supposed the in truder to be some wild hunter of tiie mountains, who had never betoro seen the interior of a hall of justice. Instantly the cause and object of the laughter perceived it. Turning his head gradually, so as to give each jaugher a look of infinite scorn,he ejac ulated the single word —‘Savages !’ No pen can describe the unspeakable malice, the defiant force which he threw into that term ; no languago,can express tho in.ernal furore of his utterance, al though it hardly exeaedod a whisper.— But he accented every letter as if it woro a separate emission of fire that scorched his quivering lips, laying hor rible emphosis on tbe s both at the be ginning and ending of tho word. It was a mixed growl, intermediate be twixt, the growl of a red tiger and the hiss of a rattlesnake — ‘savages!’ It cured everybody of tbe disposition to laugh. Tho general gaze, however, was then diverted by the advent of the fair pris-> oner, who came in surrounded by her guard. The appariton was enough to drive even a cynic mad, for hers was a style of beauty to bewilder the tamest imagination and melt the coldest heart, leaving in both imagination and heart a gleaming picture, enumelled with fire aud fixed in a frame of gold from the stars. It was the spell, of an enchant ment to bo felt as well as seen. We might feel it in the flashes of her coun tenance, clear as sunlight, brilliant as the iris; in tho classic contour of her features, symmetrical as if cut with an artist’s cliizel; in her hair of rich ring lets, flowing without a braid, softer than silk, finer than gossamer; in her eyes, blue as the heavens of southern summer, large, liquid, dreamy; in her motions, graceful, swimming, like the gentle vvaftures of a bird’s wing in the sunny air; in her figure, slight, ethereal—a sylph’s or a Seraph’s; and more than all, in the everlastiug smile of the rosy lips, ey frank, so seoeue, so like starlight, and yet thrilling tne soul as a shock of electricity. As the unfortunate girl, so tastefully dressed, so incomparable as to personal charms, calmly took her place before the bar of her judge, a murmur of ad miration arose from the multitude, winch tho prompt interposition of the court could scarcely repress from swell* ing- into deafening- cheers. The mur mur was followed by aloud unearthly groan from a solitary bosom, as of some one in mortal anguish. Ail eyes were centered on the stranger, and all were struck with surprise and wonder, for his features writhed as if in torture—tor ture that his rain of tears could not as suage. But what could be the cause of this sudden emotion ? Could any connection exist between him, tbe ap parent rude hunter, and that fairy girl, more beautiful than a blossom of sum mer, and iu countenance celestial as a star ? The judge turned to the prisoner— ‘Emma Greenleaf, the court has been iuf. irmed that your counsel, Colonel Lin ton, is and cannot attend, il-ave you employed any other ?’ She answered in a voice sweet as the warble of the nightingale, and clear as the song of the skylark —‘My enemies have bribed all the lawyers, even my own to be sick; but God wih defend the innocent!’ At this response, so touching in its simple pathos, a portion of the auditors buzzed applaused and the rest wept. — On the instant, however, the leather robed stranger, whose aspect had pre viously excited so much merriment, ap proached the prisoner, and whispered something in her ear. She bounded several inches from the fipor, uttered a wild shriek, and then stood pale and trembling as if in the presence of a ghost from the grave. All now could perceive that there must be some mys terious connection between the two, and the scene assumed the profound interest of a genuine romance. Tie stranger addressed the court in accents as sono rous as the tone of an orgah—‘May it please your honor, I will defjnd the le gal rights of the lady.’ ‘What S’ cxclaitfled ule Ltonjshed judge, are you a licensed attorney ?’ ‘The question is immaterial and ir« revalent,’ replied tho strangen with a spear, ‘as your statute entitles \ny per son to act as counsel, at the request of a party.’ V ‘Let her speak for herself,’ said the stranger. ‘I do,’ was her answer, as a longi drawn sigh escaped, that seemed to rend her very heart-strings. ‘What is your name, as it must be placed on the record ?’ interrogated the judge. ‘William Denton,’ said the stranger. * The case immediately progressed.— We will "briefly epitomise tbe substance of the evidence. About twelve months previous the defendant arrived in the town, and opened an establishment of millinery. Residing, in a small room back of her shop, and all alone, prepar ed the various articles of her trade with unwearied toil and consummate taste. Her habits were secluded, modest, and lienee she might have hoped to escape notoriety, but for the perilous gift of that extraordinary beauty, which too often, arid to the poor and friendless, proves a curse. Bbe was soon sought after by tbosq gay fireflies of fi'-.J:, the business of whose life isf everywhere seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected them ail alike with un utterable scorn and loathing. Among these disappointed admirers was one of a character from which the fair milliner had everything to fear.— Hiram Store belonged to a family at once opulent, influential, and dissipated. He was himself licentious, brave and* revengeful, and, a duelist of estab lished and terrible fame. It was gene rally known that he had made advances to win the favor of the lovely Emma, and shared tho fat# of all her other wooers—a disdainful repulse. At nine o clock on Cnristmas night, 1833, the people of Little Rock was startled by a loud scream, "ns of some one in mortal terror; while following that, with hardly an interval, came suc cessive reports of fireams—one, two, three—a dozen deafning explosions.— They flow to the milliner, whence the sounds emauated, and pushed back the unfastened door. A dreadful scene was presented. There she stood in the centre of the room, with a revolver in each baud, every barrel discharged, her features pale, her eyes flashed wildly, and her lips parted with an awful smile! And thereat her feet, weltering in his warm blood, his bosom literally riddled with shot, lay the all-dreaded duellist, Hiram Bbore, gasping in the last ag ony. He articulated but a single sen tence —‘Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to ii—lll’ and instantly ex pired. ‘ln God’s name, who did this V ex claimed the apalled spectators. ‘I did it !’ said the beautiful milliner, in her sweet, silvery accents. T did it to save my honor !’ Such is a brief abstra&tof tho essen tial circumstances, developed in the ex amination of witnesses. The testimony v ck>sed and the pleadings began. •First of all, Fowler, Pike, and Ash ley (all famous lawyers at that time in the south-west) spoke in stieecssion fer tile prosecution. They about equally partitioned their eloquence betwixt the prisoner and her advocate, covering the latter with such sarcastic wit, i a ling, and ridicule as made it a matter of doubt whether he or client was the party then on trial. As to Denton, however, he seemed to pay. not the slightest attention to his opponents, but remained motionless, with his forehead bowed on his hands, like one buried in deep thought.or in slumber. When his time came, however he suddenly sprang to his feet, crossed the bar, ami toon a position almost touching the foreman of the jury, he then com menoed in a whisper, but in a whisper so wild, peculiar, and indescribably dis tinct as to fill the hall from floor to gab lories. At the outset he dealt in pure logic, analysing and combining the proven facts, till the whole mass of confused evidence looked transparent as a gljbe of crystal, through which the innocence of his client shone luminous as a sun beam, while the jurors nodded to each other of thorough conviction. That thrilling whisper and concentrated ar gumet, and language simple as a child's, nad satisfied the demands of the intel lect, and this, too, in only twenty min utes. It was like the work of a mathe matical demonstration. He then changed his posture so as to sweep the bar with his glance, aud, like raging lion, rushed upon his adver saries, tearing and rending their gopis tries into atoms. His sallow face glow ing like a red-hot iron, the forked blue vein swelled aud wreathed on his brow, bis eyes resembled live coals, and voice was the clangor of a trumpet. 1 have never, before or since, listened to such appalling denunciation. It was like uOve’s eagle charging a flock of crows, it w;is like Jove himself hurling thun. derbolts in tbe shuddering eyes of in ferior gods. And yet in the highest temper of fury he seemed wonderfully calm. Ho employed no gesture save one—flash of a long, bony fore finger directly at the palnd faces of his legai foes. He painted their venality and unmanly baseness in coalescing for mon ey to crush a friendless female, till a shout of stifling wrath broke from the multitude, and some of the sworn panel cried ‘Bhame !’ And thus the orator had carried another point—had aroused a perfect st r u of indignation against the prosecutors—and this also iu twenty minutes. He changed his theme once more.— Bis voice grew mournful as a funeral dirge and his eyes filled with tears, as he traced a vivid picuro of man’s cru elties and womuu’s wrongs, with special applications in the case of his client, till half the audience wept like children. Bus it was ih tho peroration that he reached the zenith both of terror and sublimity. His features were livid as those of a*corpse; his very' hair ap peared to stand on end; his nerves shook as with a palsy; he tossed his hands wildly toward heaven, each fin ger spread apart and quivering like tbe flame of a candle, as he closed tho last words of the deceased Hiram Shore — ‘Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to h—ll 1’ His emphasis on the word hell embodied the elements of all horror. It was a waiLof' immeasurable despair—a wild howl of infinite torture. No language cud depict its effect on all who heard it. Men groaned, women shrieked, and one poor mqtber was borne away in convulsions. The entire speech occupied but an hour. The jury returned a verdict of ‘Not gniity” without leaving the box, and three tremendous cheers, like ’qiccessive CUTHBERT, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1870. fymg the joy of the people. At the same moment the beautiful milliner bounded to her feet and clasped the triumphant advocate in her arms, ex claiming—‘Oh, my husband! my dear husband 1’ Denton smiled, seized her hand, whis pered a word in her ear, and the two left the bar together, proceeding to the landing, and embarked on the steam boat bound for NqdJttrleaHs. It seems that they had parted on ac count of his causeless jealousy, after which 6he had assumed a false name and came to Little Rock. How he learned her danger, I could never ascer tain. They returned to Texas. The bus band was a colonel in the revolution, and escaped its perils only to fall the next year in a terrible fight with the Cainanohes. Anew county in the cross timbers, a county of wild woods ro mantic as his own eloquence, and of rij£ bright prairie,beautiful as'his own Em ma’s sweet face, commemorates his name—the name of a transcendent star that set too soon, which else had now been the first luminary in the political sky of Texas, if not in the circle of the whole Union, for he was nature’s De mosthenes of the western woods!—AT., Y.

An Amusing Quandary.— \Ve learn by a letter from Rome, dated Ist Dec , that the bishops who at that time had already reached their destination had been making a trial of their Latin and found it satisfactory neither iu quantity m>r quality. A few days before, a de liberation bad taken place.in the cham bers of Cardinal Altert on the subject of an address to the Pope. Every one tried to express bis opinion in the purest Ciceronian ho could command, but the result was unfortunately merely a mod ern adaptation of the scene which once took place in the plain of Sbinar. In this confusion some of the American bishops began to speak French, and the conversation became tolerably intelligi ble till the Bishop of Reggio protested, and declared that all eclesiastical mat ters must bo discussed'in Latin. The consequence was that the victory was won by those who had not quite forgot ten their declensions and conjugations ; the rest signed their names in humble resignation without attempting to take any pari in the debate. —North German Cos rrcspondence.

This consists merely in adding to each quart of fresh milk, before the cream has risen upon it, about mx grains of bicarbonate of soda or potash, and theo placing the milk in bottles, which are to be corked, for four hours, iu a water-bath heated to a temperature of about 190 degrees, taking care not to go beyond this limit. When the bottles are removed from the bath, they are to be made perfectly tight by coating the cork with wax, and the milk ean then be kept a long time unchanged. A religious woman who always kept Sunday and washed o’ Monday, and in fact all the rest of the week, as she was a washerwoman by occupation, bad managed to save money enough to erect a neat little* homestead, when along came a tornado and left her cot tage a wreck. The old lady’s indigna tion was at first unspeakable; but at last she sobbed, “Well, here's a pre'.ty piece of business.

I have never seen the gradual pro gress of opinion’ more pleasantly and practically illustrated than in the case of a shipmate of mine on one of iny ear ly voyages, Stiles was a simple-hearted, transpa rent young fellow, and, when we sailed, had been ‘paying attention’ to a young lady who, he had reason to think did not fully reciprocate his ardent feelings. At all events, the parting, on her side, was not so affectionate as he could wish, and he was impressed with tho belief that she only kept him as a stand-by, in default of u better ofler. ‘I don’t believe,’ Stiles would say with a despondent, shake of his, head, ‘I don't believe Adu Jones’ll have me, after all. When we had been out a few months, and had met with fair success Stiles’ tone was modified. T lie burden oThi- tnomolcguo changed to : ‘Well, don’no—but what Anu Jones’ll have me, after all.’ With a thousand barrels of oil under hatches, he became still more hopeful. ‘Chance is pretty good for Ann Jones,’ he would say. ‘Pretty good now.’ At fifteen hundred barrels he had as sumed a self-satisfied manner, and thus soliloquised ; ‘I guess there’s no danger but what Ann Jones’ll have ine now.’ When he had two thousand barrels he said : ‘Ann Jones’ll be glad enough to get me now I know.’ When we cut the last whale that was to fill the Rose, and squared away for home, Stiles threw his hat iu the air with a wild Indian yell of triumph, ‘l’ll be d—if I’ll have Ann Jones, anyhow 1’ And he didn’t. Ajimal Instinct. —The instinct of animals is sometimes really surprising. There was once in possession of a farmer in Clonmel a goose that, by accident, was left without mate or offspring, male, or female. Now it chanced that the good wife had set a number of duck’s eggs oder a hen, which in due time were ii)cubated, and of course the duck lings took to water, seeing which the motherly old hen was iD a sad pucker— her mattirnity urging her to follow the brood, and her selfishness to remain on dry land. In the meantime up sailed the goose with clack and clatter, which interpreted, meant ‘Let me take care of them.’ She swam up and down with the youngsters, and when they wearied of their aquatic excursions recommitted them to tiie guard.unship of the hen.— in the morning down came the ducks.— There was the goose, and the hen was iu great fluatration. On this occasion we do not know if the goose invited the hen for a friendly sail, but it is the fact that, being near the shore, the hen jumped upon her back, and in company they cruised up and dow’n, as it were, convoying the feathered flotilla. Day alter day the ben, on board the goose, might be seen iu perfect content and good humor. Numbers of people came to visit this extraordinary occurrence, which happened day alter day until the juvenile exoursionalists arrived at the age of discretion, and fully posted in maritime matters, no longer needed the services of ‘goose and hen, pilots, in structors, etc. The Buried Treasure and Archives of the Confederacy. —The Theta Delta Chi fraternity, which met at the Astor House, New York, in February last, listened to an oration by William L. Stone, who, iu the course of some inter esting reminiscences of the rebellion, spoke of David Tilghman as the officer selected by the Confederate Government to take cha r ge of its treasure and ar chives. On the morning of Mr. Davis’ capture, says Mr. Stone, Tilghman waited upon him at his bedside, and said : “Mr. Da vis, by this map you may see that tiie enemy are here; such and such is the situation of the roads. If you will come vvjth me you will be able to leave tbe coun* try iu salety. If you do not, you will be captured in five hours,” To Mr. Da vis replying, curtly, that he knew his own business best. Tilghman continued : \ ery well, sir; I have been entrusted witii the treasure and archives, and pro pose to secure them, even at peril of the loss of your favor and of my lifo. I shall start at once by the route I have marked out.’ The result is well known. In iess than five hours Mr. Davis was a pris oner ; but the archives were safe.— When, a few weeks after, in the recesses of the forest, Tilgham learned that all was lost, he alone, and with his own hands, •buried the treasure and archives; and unless, during the four days that elapsed between parting with me and his untow ard death, he revealed the spot, the se cret as to the vvhere-abouts of the ar chives is forever buried ; and as long as they shall be kept from the pen of man so long shall the story be a monument to our brother’s unswerving fidelity.— This is the true history of the archives of the Southern Confederacy, although rumors are from time to time set afloat of their being now in tho vaults of this bank, and now of tluxt.--Columbus En quirer.

The Maid of Orleans- BURNING OF JOAN d’aRC. [From the Baltimore Home Journal. At daybreak on the 30th day of May, 1431, a priest entered the cell of a young woman at Rouen, and announced that he had come to prepare her for death. Not that the prisoner was ill—she was young, healthy and in the full posses sion of her faculties, the death she was to suffer was a violent one—she was to be burned alive ! Burned alive at one and twenty ! What could the poor wretch have done ? She had shivered the power of the English in France; she had, by means of an enthusiasm which rendered her obnoxious to the clergy, roused the French nation from the torpor into which it had been thrown l»3 r the stunning blows dealt it by Henry V., of England, and she had dared to thwart the purposes and brave the an ger of vindictive churchmen, like the Bishop of Beauvais, and the Bishop of Winchester, Cardinal Beaufort. The prisoner’s name was Jeanne Dare, or as she has been more commonly, but erro neously, called, Joan of Arc. The priest’s announcement took the maiden entirely by surprise. A week before she had been led out into a pub' lie place in Rouen, and compelled in a moment of weakness, when surrounded by enemies—not one kindly face among the crowd—and under circumstances of great excitement, to sign a document disavowing and solemnly adjuring cer tain charges of heresy which were pre ferred against her, and she had been told on that occasion that her life would now be spared, though she must resign herself to a sentence of perpotual im prisonment. The excuse for breaking faith with the poor girl was this—that since her adjuration she had said that St. Catherine and St. Margaret, with whom she asserted she was frequently iu direct communication, had appeared to her and rebuked her for her weak ness in yielding to the threats of violence. On first healing the announcement of the priest, Jeanne’s firmness gave way; she wept, and gave vent to piteous cries, tore her hair, and appealed to‘the Great Judge’against the cruel wrongs done to her; but by degress her sulf-jiosses sion returned, and sbe listened to the ministrations of the priest, received the last sacrament from him, and announced herself ready to submit to the will of Heaven. At nine o’clock in the morning, she was carried away in the hangman’s cart to the market-place of.Rouen, where had been already laid the funeral pyre on which the young victim was to be sac rificed. • The Bishop of Beauvais, Car dinal Beaufort, and several other pre lates, with the English military com mandeis, were there, and a vast crowd had come to see the ‘Maid of Orleans’ die. In the center of the market place, and about the spot where now stands a lountain surmounted by a figure of Jean ne Dare, the stake was reared, and around it were piled the fagots. Sol diers guarded the place of execution.— The ceremony of death was begun on that beautiful May morning, by a ser mon in which the crime of heresy was vehemently denounced ; then the sem tence pronounced by the shepherds'of the flock upon the ewe lamb before them was published, and the signal was given to proclaim the last act ot the tragedy. A soldier's staff was broken, and formed into a rough cross, which “the Maid” clasped to her breast. She was then bound to the stake, the fagots were lighted, the fire leaped up around her, and, after suffering the agony indispen sable to death by burning, tier spirit re turned to God who gave it. The Eng lish Cardinal watched the whole pro ceedings with unmoved face; and when his victim’s life was beyond his reach, he ordered her ashes and bones to be taken up and to be cast into the Seine- Two Sides to It. —A few days ago a scalawag State Senator in North Caroli na, was murdered under mysterious cir cumstances. Immediately the Radical newspapers blew him up into a saint and proved to their own satisfaction, that his killing was evidence of the dis loyalty of the people, and from political hostility. A correspondent of the World, from Raleigh, gives the other side of the saintly picture. lie says: “Stephens was a man of notoriously bad character who had been thrown to the surface by the unsettled condition of affairs for the three or four years*and who, being thus enabled to exercise his bad traits on the community around him, made for himself many implacable enemies. He was for merly a resident of Rockingham county, where lie was indicted and convicted of stealing chickens, and the full penalty of the law by agreeing to pay the costs of his prosecution and leaving the county.’’ It is not dificult to assign a good reason for the taking off of such a saint. — Doylestawn Democrat. The Operation of the Bill to En force the Fifteenth Amendment. —The Metropolitan Record is showing that the real purpose of the so-called “bill to en force the Fifteenth Amendment”—the boldest and most despotic act the Rad icals in Congress have as yet dared to perpetrate—is the establishment of a consolidated despotism, having its cen tral power at Washington. “This” con tinues the Record, “is to be effee'ed by direct interference in our State elections, substitution of the Federal for the State Courts in trial of alleged cases of fraud, the supersedure of State by Federal of ficials, and the employment of the Fed eral land and naval forces for the intim idation of citizens at State and other elections. Through such infamous leg islation the Radical leaders hope to per petuate their power, and, if necessary, to reduce the North to the condition of the South, whore the rule of the bay onet is supreme, and the civil is subor dinate to the military authority.” In Clarke county, Ohio, there is a boy baby with two distinct noeeS. The child is six months old, is healthy, and the twin noses are si&e by side and quite perfect.'

AS A BLOOD PURIFIER IT HAS NO EQUAL BEING POSITIVELY TIIE MOST Powerful Vegetable Alterative YET DISCOVERED. DISEASES OF THE BLOOD. “The life of the fl?sh is in the Blood,” is a Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true. The people talk of bad blood, as the cause of senses, and like many popu lar opinions this of bad blood is fouuded in truth. The symptoms of bad blood arc usually quite plain—bad Digestion—causes imperfect nutrition, and consequently the circulation is feeble, the soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity, and the tongue becomes pale, bioad, and frequently covered with a nasty, white coat. This condition soon shows itself in roughness of the skin, then in eruptive and ulcerative diseases, and when long continued, results in serious lesions of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very much, suffering is caused by impure blood. It is estimated by some that one-fifth of the hu man family are effected with scrofula iu some form. When the Blood is pure, you are not so lia ble to any disease. Many impurities of the Blood arise from impure diseases of large cit ies. Eradicate every impurity from the foun tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vital strength will return to you. KOSKOO! AS A L IVE INVIGORATOR! STANDS UNRIVALLED. BEING THE ONLY KNOWN MEDICINE that efficiently stimulates and corrkcts the hepatic secretions and functional derangements of the Liver, without Debilitating Ihe system.

SYMPTOMS OF LIVER COMPTATNT AND OF SOME OF THOSE DISEASES PRODUCED BY IT- A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or yel lowish-brown spots on the face and other parts of the body; dulness and diowsiness, some times headache ; bitter or bad tuste in the mouth, internal heat; in many cases a dry, teasing cough ; unsteady appetite; sometimes sour stomach, with a raising of the food; a bloated or full feeling about the stomach and sides ; aggravating pains in the sides, back, or breast, and about the shoulders; constipation of the bowels; piles, flatulence, coldness of the extremities, etc. KOSKOOI Is a remedy of Wonderful Efficacy in the cure of diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, In these Affections it is as near a specific as any remedy can be. It does its work kindly, si lently and surely. The relief which it affords ’8 both certain and perceptible. DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLAD DER. Persons unacquainted with the structure and functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the importance of their healthy action. Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys is as important, nay, even more so. than regu lai-ity of die bowels. The Kidneys remove from the Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to remain, would speedily destroy life. A total suspension of the urinary dis chargee will occasion death from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. When the Urine is voided in small quanti ties at the time, or when there is a disposition to Urinate more frequently than natural, or when the Urine is high colored or scalding with weakness iu the small of the back, it should not be trifled with or delayed ; but Koskoo should be taken at ot ee to remedy the difficulty, before a lesion of the organs takes place. Most of the diseases of the Bladder originate from those of the Kldueys, the Uriue being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove irritating to the Bladder aud Urinary passages. When we recollect that medicine never reaches the Kidtteys except through the general circulation of tl e Blood, wo see how necessary it is to keep the Fouutain of Life Pure.
