SOUTHERN BANNER. APRIL 2, 1878.
Forty Days.
THE I.ENTON FAST—END OK FESTIVE
SEASON.
1.
On Wednesday, the 6th, or as it is
termed, Ash Wednesday, was the
beginning of the Lenten season, and
the religious throughout the world
will observe the season, and cast from
their hearts all worldly thoughts, and
adore with deeper devotions the Re-
deemer of all.
The origin of the above word is
uncertain. Some derive it from the
Saxon lenten, implying spring, or the
season when the days “ lengthen j”
others from Gerinau lenten. There is
some diversity of opinion as to the
time and manner of its observance.
Lent is proceeded in some countries
by the dissipation of the carnival.
The first day of Lent is called Ash
Wednesday from a custom whioh still
prevails in the Roman Catholic church
of sprinkling the head or forehead
with ashes. Scant repasts and religious
reading are the order of the day.
Music, art, theatre, the concert room,
all these should be laid aside, and
prayers, penances and books of devo
tion be substituted. At least many
Christians will “keep lent” in this
manner. Lent is observed more gen
erally by Episcopalians and Catholics,
especially the latter, though other
denominations have their days of
abstinence as well.
The observance of Lent is a custom
dating back to the establishment of
the Christian church. Ba*cd first
upon the traditions handed down
from the apostles, it was formally
instituted as an essential church cere
monial so early as A. D. 189 by Tel-
esphorus, the seventh successor of
St. Peter, in the apostolic chair.
The ceremony of wearing sackcloth
and ashes is one of the most ancient
methods of expressing deep sorrow
or abasement, and among the Jews
was one of the forms of public pen
ance. The penitent standing at the
temple door, clothed in sackcloth and
ashes, while the “faithful’’ passed on
with verted eyes. The ashes used
in the ceremonies of Ash Wednesday
arc made in old countries only from
the ashes of the olive which has been
blessed the proceeding year and
used in all the ceremonies of Palm
Sunday. In this country,* the
branches of hemlock, spruce, and
sometimes arber vitie, cedar, and
other varieties of evergreen aroused.
Among Catholic churches these ashes
are preserved, prepared and distri
buted, and on this day of humiliation
and prayer all good Catholics must
receive an ashen cross on their fore
head.

The Czar says he don’t see “Vi-cnna

Some amusing comments arc made
regarding the statement that at the
lecent public dinner to the Governor
General at Montreal, when Mr. Dart,
the United States Consul, rose to re
ply to the toast to the President, lie
said he wished he was there to res
pond in his place. A voice immedi
ately said, “ so do we,” and at once
there was immense cheering. In fact
the gentlemen rose and waved their
napkings and cheered again and again.
There seems to be a suspicion that
the guests had as good reason as the
Consul to prefer a speech from the
President.

IN CALLING THE PUBLIC ATTENTION TO THE
Indian Compound Cough Mixture
For the cure of Consumption and all diseases of the Lungs and Throat, I say that nothing surpasses it
for Co’ds and Coughs, and can be taken from old age down to the cradle with impunity, and without
danger. But the professional worhl is so full of Atnbiguousness and Egotism, that anything put be
fore the public as a safe and reliable Remedy for certain diseases is scotTed at and pronounced worth
less and a humbug. I say try it before you condemn it, as I will give you the names of every herb,
Ac., that it is composed of, which you can examine at your leisure :
Vitellus Ovi, Aiuydalus, Mel. Pinus Palustris, Andromeda, Arborca, Arctium Leppa, Inula Hele-

TESTIMONIALS.
Atlanta, July 1st, 1874.
DR. BIGGER8—Dear Sir: la the use of your Southern Remedy in my family, I have found it the
most pleasant medicine for children to taka, and the most satisfactory to core I have ever met. I have
used it mow for several years, and never allow myself to be without some of It on hand, and its imme
diate use saves all trouble and danger. I have always felt if you had no other claim to the public con
fidence than this specific. U alone should give it to you, and both, fame and fortune added, if you
would only sufocieotly advertise it to let the world know ito healing powei and benefits.
Respectfully, O. O. LOCHRANE.
The above Is from the Ex-Chief Justice Supteme Court of Georgia.
EUREKA! EUREKA! (I have found 1L My wife and two children were down with Bloody
Flux. We had two doctors, as good xs any in the city, and found no relief. My baby, 7 months old
while teething, was expected to die for two weeks, when being induced to toy Dr. Biggers’ Southern
Remedy, the relief of each was marvelous, and are at present doing well. I tried it on myself for the
same disease, and it proved a success. C. <?. DAN IS, Atlanta, Ga.
