D 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 dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DR. JOSEPH H. 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 unfailing. Its philosophy requires uo argument. It is self-assuring, self 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 dvspepsia and a functionally disordered livoi. With this condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize” with the stomach. Thev 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 Pills are esmposed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillnra Pelta tum. They possess all the blood-searching, alterative properties of calomel. 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 Responsively, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylincation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to be 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 Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plete the cure. It enters at once upon its w r ork. Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten 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 LOST. The second thing is, the patients must stay in a warm room until they get well ; it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section of the ceuntry 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 has 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 was in these modest words : Many years ago I 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 straw's, I heard of and obtained the pre parations 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. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside mv cough, fevei, pain and night sweats all began'to leave my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that 1 could keep from eating too much. I soon gained mv 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-sewn pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twentv-flvc pounds, and for rears I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J H. Schenck. Jr., still continue to see patients at their office, No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged five dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. Tho directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these directons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to be taken in increased doses ; the three medicines need no other accompani ments than the ample instructions that do accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning’health hunger is the most welcome symptom. When it conies, as 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. Dr. Schenck’s medicines 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 he regarded as a prophylaoteric against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1,50 a bottle, or $7,30 a half dozen. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by alf druggists and dealers .TOßN F.

I’m sitting alone by the window, Dressed just as I came from the dance, In robes even you would admire— It cost a cool thousand in France ; I’m be-diamoned out of all reason, My hair is done up in a cue; In short, sir, the “belle of the season” Is waiting an hour on you. A’ dozen engagements I have broken ; I left in the midst of a set.; Likewise a proposal, half spoken, That waits—on the stairs—for me yet. They say he’ll be rich when he grows up— And then he adores me indeed, And you, sir, are turning your nose up, Three thousand miles off, as you read. “And how do I like my position ?” “And what do I think of New York ?” “And now, in my higher ambition, With whom do I waits, flirt or talk ?” “And isn’t it nice to have riches, And diamonds, and silks, and all that?” “And aren’t it a change to the ditches And tunnels of Poverty Flat ?” Well, yes—if yon saw us out driving Each day in the park, four in hand— If you saw poor dear mamma contriving To look supernaturally grand— If you saw papa’s picture, as taken By Brady, and tinted at that, You’d never suspect he sold bacon And flour at Poverty Flat. And yet, just this moment while sitting In the glare of the grand chandelier— In the bustle fnd glitter befitting The “finest soiree of the year,” In the mists of a gaze de Cbamberry, And the hum of the smallest of talk— Somehow, Joe, I thought of the “Ferry,” And the dance we had on “The Fo^k.” Os Harrison’s barn ami its muster Os flags festooned over the wall; Os the candles that shed their soft lustre And tallow on head-dress and shawl; Os the steps that we took to one fiddle, Os the dress of my queer vis-a-vis ; And how I once went down the middle With the man that shot Sandy McGee. Os the moon that was quietly sleeping On the hill, when the time came to go ; Os the few baby peaks that were peeping From under th»ir bed clothes of snow ; Os that ride—that to me was the rarest; Or—the something you said at the gate , Ah, Joe, then I wasn’t an heiress To “the best paying lead in the State.” Well, well, it’s all past; yet it’s funny To think, as I stood in the glare Os fashion and beauty and money, That I should be thinking right there, Os someone who breasted high water, And swam the North Fork, aud all that, Just to dance with old Folinsbee’s daughter. The Lilly of Poverty Flat. But goodness! what nonsense I’m writing 1 (Mamma says that my taste is still low.) Instead of my triumphs reciting, I’m spooning on Joseph—heigh-ho ! And I’m to be “finished” by travel Whatever’s the meaning of that— O, why did papa strike pay gravel In drifting about on Poverty Flat ? Good night—here’s the end of my paper; Good Night—if the longitude please— For maybe, while wasting roy taper, Your sun’s climbing over the trees. But know, if you haven’t got riches, And are poor, dearest Joe, and all that, That my heart’s Bomewhere there in the ditches, And you have struck it—on Poverty Flat. The Right Spirit. Should yon feel inclined to censure Faults you may in other view, Ask your own life, ere you venture, If that has not failings, too. Let not friendly vows be broken; Rather strive a friend to gaiu; Many a word in anger spoken, Finds its passage back again. Do not, then, in idle pleasure, Trifle with a brother’s fame; Guard it as a valued treasure— Sacred as your owu good name. Do not form opinions blindly— Hastiness to trouble tends; Those of whom we thought unkindly, Oft become our warmest friends 9cß~ A Macon artist has photograph ed a night-blooming cereus.

Holy Writ assures 11s in the latter days false Christs and false teachers shall arise, who will deceive if possible, the very elect. We live in an age of such diverse beliefs and latitudinous creeds, that the best of nu n may well afford to pause and examine the ground work of their faith, to assertain, if they may, whether they are building upon the Rock or upou the sand. Perhaps in uo other age has Infidelity put on a bolder frout, or assumed more plausi ble phases, than iu the one iu w r hich we live. Bad men, prompted by their father, the Devil, have taken advan tage of the demoralization caused by our late internecine war, to attack Christianity in its most impregnable strongholds, aud to shake, if possible, the popular credulity in a system of religion, which for more than eighteen hundred years, has given the brightest rays of hope to an otherwise dark and miserable world We opine that Sci ence and Reason, which have been ap pealed to for the subversion of Reve lation, will finally constitute its strong est bulwarks; and that the numerous depraved and corrupting isms, the off spring of base and sensual minds, will, before the ascending sun of Christiani ty, be dissipated like morning mists. The Bible—that compendium of our glorious religion—stands firm amid the numberless though futile attacks of its enemies, repelling them as high mountain rocks repel the hghtnings of heaven. Its divine wisdom shines transcendently above the dark laby rinths of error, and will continue thus to shine long after all mere human theories have perished from the mem ory of man. No where else do we find a system of truth so well suited to the every day wants of life, or so well calculated to inspire hopes for the future. Like our central sun it reflects its glorious light in all the dark habi tations of earth, making our way plain before us, and leaving no necessity for doubting or stumbling. It offers a balm to every wounded heart, and brings comfort even in the darkest night of -despondency. It lays the foundation for all human laws, in the observance of which our highest destiny as finite creatures will be subserved.— Its code of pure morals rise infinitely above the highest conceptions of the most gigantic intellect. It brings health and happiness to the living, light and comfort to the straying, for giveness to the penitent, and eternal life and bliss to those who- accept and live up to its teachings. Theu give us the Bibie and the glorious system it teaches, above all the theories and speculations of men. In its light alone can we discern the pathway that leads to Heaven.— Col. Enq. W&* When a young lady takes up a paper she glances first at the marriag es and ‘personals;’ au old lady at the deaths; a boy at the stories; the aver age man at the news. It is only the young business man, remembering the adage. ‘Business before pleasure,’ who com mences in the right way, by reading the advertisements first. This indeed is putting a newspaper to its best use. A man who uses it is sure to keep ‘posted’—to know wbat is going on in the busy world around—to know where he can make the best bargains, and where and to whom he can dis pose* of what he has to sell. And there is no fear but what he will get ah that is valuable in the paper besides. [ Exchange. Laws Relating to Newspapers. We have been asked to give the law, as it stands, relating to newspapers and subscribers: 1. Subscribers who do not give ex press notice to the contrary are con sidered wishing to coutinue their sub scription. 2. If subscribers order the discon tinuance of their papers, the pub lishers may continue to send them un till all arrearages are paid. 3 If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers from the office to which they are directed, they are held resposible till they have settled their bill, and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other pla ces without informing the publishers, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they are held reponsible. 5. The courts have decided that re fusing to take papers from the of fice, or removing and leaving them un called for, isj prima facia evidence of in tentional fraud. G. Any person who receives a news paper and makes use of it, whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law' to be a subscriber. •• - Vg*k»An exchange, wanting to com-, plitneut a “live stock journal,” says it is edited by a mau whose bead is chock full of live stock.

If. Smith <s' Cos., Proprietors, Close Communion n !Ho<Urn l’racifcec. Important light has jfi?t been shod upon the controversy in the Baptist denomination, on tin* question of opeu communion. It bus been the oom mnnlv received opinion in thiscountry that the strict eonimnnion principle was tbo ohl time doctrine, and that the open communists were the liber 1- iaers, innovating upon the early prac tice of the churches of that order. It is not so. Rev, William Broch, D. D., an em inent Baptist minister of England, has written a letter to the Baptist Union of this city, in which he communicates the following highly gratifying and most valuable information: “In one of the most elaborate judg ments which our courts of equity have ever pronounced, after a course of pleadings which no court, of equity has ever heard surpassed, Lord Ilomillv pronounced it to be “irresistible that the principle of free or mixed commu nion was not a fundamental point of faith, but a practice subject to the reg ulation of each church or congregation. In my opinion, said his lordship, it is established that each congregation was from the earlist time at liberty to reg ulate its practice, either according to the strict communion or the mixed communion, as it might seem best to such congregation.” “The doctrine of communion, as I have stated, is nos an essential or fundamental doctrine of the faith of Particular Baptists. The illustrious Judge referred express ly to the several Baptist confessions of which were published in the seven teenth century’ and he psononuoed that they give no reason for the be lief that baptism by immersion was held to be indispensible to the com munion. He also referred to the dis cussion on the subject which were car ried on between different ministers far 1645, and again afterwards; and thus he sums up the result of an examina tion of those discussions on strict com munion- “It must, therefore, be ebiY sidered that by those persons, even when heated with the warmth of con troversy, it was not held to be a doc trine of a fundamental character, or so esfendal as to constitute one of the necessary elements of a true and sin cere Particular Baptist,” [Far enough, obviously, in our open communion from being an invention or a bersy of Robert Hall’s.] Ever since the Euglisb Baptits have been gathord in to church; es, they have more or less open com munionists, sometimes more, some times less. “The published account of the Nor wich case, heard before Sir John [now Lord] also, is the account of the Rams gate case, heard bjfore Vice-Chancel lor Kindersley. “We open communiocists, I assure you, haves had to struggle for our po sition, not only in the Scriptural ar gument and discussion with our breth ren, but before the judges of the kind,. Holding possession of certain meeting, houses or Chapels on the ground of agreement with their trust deeds, \yo have been told that we were violating, those deeds, and the effort has been, made by an appeal to Chancery to, turn us out. In every case the ap peal, to the best of my knowledge, has failed. “The process has confessedly been - most painful; but seeing how thorough ly and impartially the appeal has been dealt with, we are happy in the results. Some of the greatest living English lawyers have been engaged upon the - question, and their decision is that of the historical testimony to the preval ence of open communion among the- English Baptists, there can be no doubt. “May you be guided by divine wis dom in your effort to bring the minds, of our American Baptist brethern to. a calm, intelligent, and devout consid eration of this great question ! I heard euough when I was in the Unitert States to convince me that, before very long the consideration of it must come up, aud I hear euough from your hon ored brethern whom I meet when they visit us to feel assured that the consid eration is becoming urgent. “There is no body of Christians more desirous of adhering closely to the us ages of the church than the intelligent Baptists. And we have no doubt that this decision will have a powerful ef feet upon their minds. In England* it is conclusive. If it is equally so in* this country, a mighty step will have been taken toward church union.” Miijd What You are About. —The world is made up of differently shaped persons—as, for instance, round men and square mau; and half the trouble in life is caused by the round men get ting into the squares holes. • If the . people would not be everlastingly inix-i ing things—the sand and the sugar, :* the flies aud the milk, etc. Better to, succeed as a blacksmith than to fail as a poet; to measure'ribbon well th n to bungle in trying to be a statesman. “%iaWhat means of Conveyance by land and what by sea, are ladies fond est of?
