MANY a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dieamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DR. JOSEPH If. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presump tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, sell convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. With this condition the bronchial tubes “ sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the cul minating result, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake tolls are composed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the PodophilUun Pelta tum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of- domel. But unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,” The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clocK. is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsivelv, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPrLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chyliflcation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to he at hand. There is no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com jfiete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In the form of gathering"., it prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the lotfceu throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman hood that was GIVEN UP AS LG ST. The second thing is, the path nts must stav in a warm room until they get well ; it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, hut it must he prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section of the country in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because they are in the house they must not sit down quiet; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients must keep in good spirits—be determined to get well. This h:is a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain! To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure w as in these modest words : Many M*ars ago T was in the last stages of consumption ; confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, I heard of aud obtained the pre paration which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. The> soon ripened the matter in mv lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morning lbr a long time. As soon as that began to subside my cough, fevei, pain and night sweats all began’to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it wms with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after mv recovery,” added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and for rears I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit toN.ew York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J 11. Schenck. Jr., still continue to see patients at their office, No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. in., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will he charged five dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether ihev are curable or not. Tho directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these direetons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Fills are to he taken in increased doses ; the three medicines r.eed 210 other accompani ments ttvau the ample instructions that do accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning health hunger i- the most welcome symptom. When it comes. :,s it will come, let the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. Di\ Schenck’s mcdic.iues are constantly kept in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative, or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophylacteric against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozeA. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale bv all druggists and dealers. JOHN I".

Tho Atlanta Constitution of the 25, gives a glowing description of the re ception of Mr. Davis in Atlanta at the Kimball House, the beauty and fash ion of the city being present, and an immense concourse of the people wel coming this renowned leader of the late Southern Confederacy. A like ovation had been given him at Augus ta, the Hon. H. W. Hilliard welcoming him in an eloquent address, to which Mr. Davis replied to the delight of his many hearers. Gen. Garlington peiformed the like office of the occasion, in Atlanta, “in a speech as beautiful and chaste as it was brief and appropriate.” From the synopsis rendered by the Constitution, we give below the remarks of Mr. Da vis, regretting that we have not tho space for the very eloquent speech of Gen. Garlington. Mr. Davis came forward upon the balcony amid loud and continuous ap plause and cries of “cheers for Jeff Da vis.” Mr. Davis said that he thanked the audience for this testimonial,*Wbich ho considered as not paid to his merit, but to their wroth. No people had ever proved as devoted to a fallen chief as the people of the South. They had engaged in the last war fare to battle for the same principle contended for by their revolutionary ancestors, the right of communal inde pendence or State sovereignty. He denied that the rights of the people had ever been submitted te the arbi trament of the sword. No one could delegate that right; as their chief Ex ecutive, he had never submitted it, nor would he ever admit it. He alluded in terse and glowing terms to the historic fame of Georgia, from the days of Oglethorpe Lo the present. Georgians had pi’oved true to their gloiry in the revolution, in 18- 12, and in the last conflict. If the people of tho North bad recognized the truthfulness and fidelity of Geor gians when they gave up the contest, they would never have considered it necessary to put them under guard.— The world could not furnish bayonets enough to make a Georgian prove more true to his obligations than his own oath could do. He would accept nothing. He would admit that Power was in the ascen dency over Right, but he never would acquit that he had done wrong. No one could compel any one to believe that they were guilty of wrong, if they were innocent. He had shaken hands with politics, and advised the people to bo quiet and wait for the hour of deliverance. That the hour would surely come. Galileo was compelled to recant, yet after the signing lie re marked, “and yet tho world moves.”— The world moves. Right and Truth and Principle would prevail. The sur est way to regain our rights was to act quietly—submit to the laws, but yet yield up no piinciple. The people of the North understood tUeir rights as well as the people of the South, and would never consent to their surrender. We must look to them to bring out a change which would establish the guarantees of lib erty upon a firm foundation. He did not counsel them to regain their rights or contend for them by the red hand of war. He trusted re porters would report him correctly on this point. He would die believing that the hour of deliverance was at hand for the South. He said that the first time he visited Atlanta, it was in the woods. The next time, it was a heap of ruins—the act of vandalism that even exceeded the act that disgraced the fame of Tur enne—now he was pleased to see that it had grown to a large and magnifiicent citj. It was an evidence of the great ness es a people that defied fate and rose superior to its decrees. He had given up politics, and had taken to Life Insurance. He hoped to insure the ir lives for a hundred years. gggM.F.liniAX has returned from M VTMv ::t with his magnificent stock Or STRING AND UMM Eli GOOD? Tlie Woes of a Black Major. On Tnesdey afternoon Captain Wil lard A. Hussey, formerly an officer in the Thirteenth Massachusetts Volun teers, but more recently from South Carolina militia, entered the baiTOom of the Astor House. Major Dickfersou is a black man. The captain called for some old rye whiskey, and, turning to his colored friends, said, “Major, wl.at will you drink ?” The major called for rum and mo lasses, but was indignantly repelled by the barkeeper, who remarked in an in solent manner, “We don’t sell rum to niggers here.” This remark naturally incensed the major. Taking oil his cap and milta ry cloak, he said: “Gentlemen, the Democratic party of the North is different from the Dem ocrats of the South. When I was a slave, I was often asked by white gen tlemen to take a drink, and I never was lam now a citizen. I have been locked up in the Tombs all night, and that ought to entitle me to vote in New York. I tried three times to see Horace Greely. He finally sent me woxtl that he had no confidence in the Republican party of Sauth Cifro linn. He said he thought they were all thieves. Gentlemen, I’m from Charleston, and I tell you—” Hei’e the barkeeper interrupted the major, and said that if somebody didn’t get out somebody else would call the po lice, whei’eupon Major Dickerson pick ed up his hat and coat, and, accompa nied by Captain Hussey, left the Astor House. The next seen of these gentlemen was at the H;me Made Hotel, Green which sti’eet, where Captain Hussey makes his headquasters. They entered together, and were go ing up stairs when seen by the propri etor. “Hilloa there,” he cried out, “this is no colored boai'ding-bouse.” We don’t permit anything of the sort here. “But this is my friend,” answered Captain Hussey, ‘and he is going to my room with me sir.’ ‘This is my house, sir,’ said the pro prietor, ‘and it is against my rules to allow any negroes up stairs. You must either abide my rules or leave this house, sir.’ Down came the major and his friend, the captain. Not a word was spoken until they reached tho sidewalk, then the major boiling over with rage and mortification, gave vent to his feelings in curses both loud and deep. ‘Didn’t I tell you that the Democrats of the North are better friends to you than the Republicans are?’ modestly asked the captain. ‘l'm done, sir, I’m done,’ implied the major. ‘l’ll go back to Charleston and tell those folks down there something they don’t know, sir. I’ve got to let out all I know w T hen I get back to Charleston, and I’ll scare some of those fellows. Good bye, captain, I’ll see you to-morrow, and the excited black politician started for his colored board ing-house in Broome street.— N. Y. S. A Fiendish Mother. Singular Case of Abduction— A Strange Story. The follow strange story, (says the Atlanta New Era,) appeal's in Theo dore Tilton’s Golden Age, of New York, which journal vouches for it: A young lady of Philadelphia, of marked talents, of many accomplish ments, and of high moral worth, and lacking only two or three months of her majority, had formed an engage ment of marriage with a young man to wiiom her mother did not wish to see her allied. The mother had long been confined to her bed, confined with illness, through which the daughter had attended her with the most filial devotion. On learning the fact of the unshaken resolution of this daughter, the mother sprang from the bed, and, clutching hf r child by the throat, told her she should not leave the room alive; that she would send her to heaven and her lover to hell. The poor, half strangled girl, knowing that her mother always kept within reach a six-barreled re volver, passively resigned herself a victim. Sne was taken to an upper room and made a close prisonei l . A midnight came, when, after hours of suffering, she had fallen into a troubled sleep. She was waked by her mother entering the room, and or dered to get up and dress herself. A carriage was at the door, and, with her father and another man, she w T as taken out, and soon found herself moving away to the sound of cturiage wheels. Soon this was exchanged for the rapid motion of a steam car, and in the morning she found herself a prisoner in a hotel in New York. It would seem that a plan to put her a board a steamer sailing to Europe did not suc ceed, and her next experience was to find herself in the cars, on her way back to Philadelphia. Here she was again locked up for a day or two.— Again, at the midnight hour, she was taken from her bed, conducted to New York, and now put pn board a sts m er—with no explanation whatever as to what was to be her fate of destina tion. She had imagined she was to be ta ken to Boston, and it was not until she found herself out upon the ocean that she could have learned the fact that she was on Lei* vay to Eux'ope. It is left to coiu ;eluro as to what may S. 11. Smith <f- Cos., Proprietors. be the fate of this young lady. Wheth er she is to be immured in a convent or a lunatic asylum is not known to others, and is probably as little known to herself. Power of Poetry, The poet was the great man of an tiquity, preserving in his songs the laws, the history, and even the lan guage of nations. He excited the en thusiasm and patriotism of the people, and many difficulties in the State were charmed away by his words. It is related of Solon, the great law giver, that ho always resorted to poe try when any difficulty arose, and that, by this means, he often aroused the people to the pei'formaixce of heroic deeds. Philosophy, too, sought the aid of poetry. Thales was a poet. Pytha goiTus dictated verses. Xenophanes and Pamenides delivered their doc trines in poems. A considerable share of the influ ence in the Reformation has been as cribed to the poets. They ridiculed the superstitious aud absurdities of the prevailing religion, and attacked the ignorance and immorality of the cler gy. Pi'ose works were published in Scotland against Popery as early as 1543; but long before that time the re fci'med sentiments were diffused by metrical writings. Margaret, in France, assisted Calvin by writing poems, which had a won derful influence in the conversion of men to the refoimed faith. Cajetan, cardinal and legate of the Pope, said of Luther: “He has conquered us by his songs. Cai’dinal Thomas a-Jesu writes; “The interests of Luther are furthered in an extraoi'dinary degree by the singing of his hymns by the people oi every class, not only in schools and churches, but dwellings and shops, in markets and streets and fields.” On several occasions when the evan gelical doctrines were assailed in the churches, the speaker was interrupted in his address by a great outburst of song by the whole congregation. Says one; “It was on the wings of hymns, which embodied and popularized the new doctrines, that the Reformation flew through Germany.” Musical en tertainments were introduced by Zuin gle. “He taught the select circles of his friends to manage both the voice and the instrument, and parties met in each other’s houses for song.”— “Thus arose the fine quartette in the Swiss cottages and the choir in the Swiss churches; and these became the leaders of Christian song among tho Reformed.” Isaac Taylor says of Charles Wesley: “Richly gifted as be is with graces, genius and talents, he draws souls, thousands of souls, in his wake, from Sunday to Sunday, as he so draws them onward from earth to heaven by th 6 charms of his sacred verse. So, by music and poetry he is ever, taming the roughness of unlettered minds, renovating worn-out spirits, bringing hearts benumbed by sordid cares and worldly pi’ospects into that bright at mosphere in which his own spirit dwelt, and winning everywhere a list ening ear for the higher harmonies of heaven.” Isaac Watts knew the power of sa cred song. When dissatisfied with what his Church afforded, and earnest ly desiring something better, he wrote: “Os all religious solemnities, psalmody is tho most unhappily managed. That very action which should elevate ua to the most delightful and divine sen sations, doth not only flatten our de votion, but too often awakens our re gret, and touches all the springs of uneasiness within us.” At an early age he attempted a reform of the lan guage of praise; was the means of giv ing to the Church as fine a collection of hymns as can be found in the wide world.— New York Observer. Held Heb Breath Forever.— The Alexandria Gazette mentions a novel su icide of a little girl twenty-one montha of age, the child of Mr. William Deav ers, about nine miles below Alexandria,, on tho Poblick road. The child heltk her breath while a pet, as children fre quently do, and died, although she was perfectly well before the crying fit.. An effectual way to prevent unfortu nate results of this kind is to throw cold water in the face of a child as soon as it begins to hold its breath.— The shock of the water ill make it gasp, and necesarily force it to take breath, as well a s divert attention, from the lit of anger. During the examination of a witness as to the locality of stairs in a boose, the council asked, “Which way do the stairs run ?” The witness very inno cently replied, “One way they run up, but the other way down !” According to the Montgomexy Ad vertiser, a hailstoi'LD worthy of the ut most respect fell in the vicinity of that village last Monday. The hail was a foot thick on a dead level, and knee deep in ravines and sloughs. It came over the axtle-tree of a buggy six miles from the city. So much remain ed on the ground the next day the people had to haul it off, and store it away in blocks from 20 to 30 feet, thick.
