Character.
Character is nuch more than wealth
or knowledge, fame or power, that it
is the measure of the man. When a
man is placed in a prominent position
of any sort whatever, we say tt once
not ‘what is he worth?’ not ‘what
d >e« he know?’ but what sort of a
man is he ?’ That is the momentous
question that involves all. All others
are secondary. Wealth, knowledge,
fame and power are most desirable
accessions for a good man: but other
wise add strength to the wrong di
rection. I wonder if the young men
and boys realize that character is the
most important capital in any and all
business transactions. If a man of
large business is looking for a partner
or employee, what does he require
most of all ? An honest man or boy.
Wealth ami position with this first
requisite, will be no detraction, but
nothing without it.
What pillars arc to a building*
what the foundation is, ami the corner
stone thereof, so is a good character
to a man or woman, hoy or girl. The
wise man said: “A good name is
rather to be chosen than riches,” and
ho had no lack of wealth. Remem
ber, boys—and it will harm none to
remember—that what you are is of
infinite importance, and what you
have is finite in its value ; its end is
the grave; while the former will
grow and enrich its possessor through
all the ages of immortality. Strive
for it as for your life, for life is nought
without it; if a man die for his honor,
he is an everlasting hero ; while if he
dies for his wealth he is a sordid fool.
We honor character in death, if not
in life. “ So teach us to number our
days as to apply oar hearts unto wis
dom.

The Advantage of Being a
Woman.
“ Make way for the ladies!’’ is the
law of civilized society from the
equator to either pole. “ Will any
gentleman oblige a lady ?” asks the
omnibus conductor in his blandest
tones;.and no sooner said than done.
For whom are the tit bits reserved
nt every feast? who is served first
and has the best seat at breakfast,
dinner and supper? Woman, lovely
woman! Who pays for them.'? Man,
the wretch.
Man loves aud runs away. Woman
brings action for breach of promise
and gets damages. Woman loves
rides away Man brings his action
and gets hooted out of court.
Whatsoever things are beauteous,
whatsoever things are rare and costly,
are at the disposal of woman to make
her irresistible. Even the robin red
breast lays down bis melodious life;
and justly so, since a bird in her hat
is worth two in the bush. The little
bow-wows give up their brass collars,
that they may shine on her snowy
neck. She goes forth conquering
and to conquer. Man—poor devil—
with his chimney pot hat, and his
coat s made of the wool of the conge
nial sheep, is a mere collection of
cncters, and his garments seem con
trived to enhance his native ugliness.
Who toils and suffers all hardships
—bears the burden of the day and
the rigor and darkness of the night?
Man, the unhappy rascal! Meanwhile
woman, bless her sweet heart! gives
a smile,?|an order or two, and is
queen of herself—that heritage of
joy-
These are only a few of the reasons
which show what a grand and blessed
thing it is to be a woman, and what
cause for gratitude that human
being has who is so sublimely privi
leged.

TO THE AFFLICTED!
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 Colds and Coughs, and can be taken from old age down to the cradle with impunity, and without
danger. But the professional world is so full of Ambiguousness and Egotism, that anything put be
fore the public as a safe and reliable Remedy for certain diseases is scoffed 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:
VitellusOvi, Amydalus, Mel. Pinus Palustris, Andromeda, Arborea, Arctium Leppa, Inula Ilclc-
nium, Marrubium Vulgare, Antcnnaria Margaritaceum, Durchwmchshener Wasserdost, Cephalanthus
Occidcntalis, Symphytum Officinale.
prepared at my office, No. 50 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga. t where it can be had in any quantity,
one using it will say that it has dono them no good, return the bottle and get your money rc-
tu Life and Money Saved by the use of the Southern Remedy !
EOR IT WILD CURE
Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Cholera Morhus, and Cutting

And no mistake. Examine the following certificates, whicb are enough to satisfy any reasonable man,
woman, or child, that it is not an imposition palmed off on the people. To prove it, get a bottle, aud
use us directed on the bottle, and you will be satisfied that it is all that is claimed for it. It Is pre
pared purely from vegetables a medicinal property.
TESTIMONIALS.
Atlanta, July 1st, 1874.
DR. BIGGERS—Dear Sir: In the use of your Southern Remedy in my family, I have found it the
most pleasant medicine for children to take, and the most satisOutory to cure I have ever met. I have
used it now 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 ball no other -lalm to the public con
fidence than this specific, it alone should give it to yon, and both, fame and fortune added, if you
would only sufficiently advertise it to let the world know its healing power and benefits.
