Allow me to call your attention to my
Preparation of Compound
Extract Buchu.
The component parts are BUCHU
LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER
BERRIES.
Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, iu
vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine
gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits
spirits obtained from Junip-r berries: very little
sugar is U3e 1, and a small proportion of spirit. It is
more palateable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color.
It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; t.be action of a
flame destroys this (it* active principle,) leaving a
dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of
ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi
nates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients
are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon inspec
tion, it will be found rot io be a Tincture, as made
in Pharmacopeea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore
can be used in cases where fever or inflammation ex
ist. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredi
ents aid the mo te of preparation.
Hoping that, you will favor ; t wilh a trial, and that
upon inspection it will meet with your approbation
With a feeling of confidet.ee,
I am very respectfully yours,

FOR THE CURE OF

OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the puolic tor the safe, certain, speedy and per
manent cure of Ague and Fever .or Chills and Fever
whether of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ca rled out.. In a great many cases a
single dose has oeen sufficient for a cure, and whole
families l ave teen cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more w tain to cure, if its
use i* continued in •mailer doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long stand ng cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require ar.y aid to keep th* bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’*} VEGETA
BLE FAM’LY PIILS will be sufficient.

DR. JOHN BULL—Dear Sir:—l have recently giv
en your “Worm Destroyer” several trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
Instance, to have the wished-for effect.. lam doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest, authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the con
trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam
aware that the use of such articles ft contrary to the
teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg
ular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef
ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all
and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which
I may be able to command—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
<l its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure
hat knowledge. However, lamby no mtans an ad
vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos
trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all
manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.—
Please reply goon, and inform me of your best terms.

Startling Effect or a Hymn.
A Hong Kong correspondent of the
Boston News tells an interesting inci
dent He had been entrusted with
packages for a young man from his
friends in the United States, and after
inquiry learned that he might proba
bly be found in a gambling house.—
He went thither, but not seeing him,
determined to wait, in the expectation
that ho might come in. The house
was a bedlam of noises—men getting
angry over their cards and frequently
coming to blows. Near him sat two
men—one young, the other forty years
of age. They were betting and drink
ing in a horrible way, the elder one
giving utterances continually to the
foulest profanity. Two games had
been finished, the young man losing
each time. The third game, with
fresh bottles of brandy, had just begum
and the young man sat lazily back in
his chair while the elder shuttled his
cards; and the young man looking
carelessly about the room, began to
hum a tune. He began to sing the
beautiful lines of Phoebe Cary:
“One sweetly solemn thought
Comes’to me o’er and o’er,
I'm nearer to my Father’s house,
Than Fvo ever been before.
“Nearer the bound of fife,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing my crown.
At first, says the writer, these words
in such a vile place made me shudder.
A Sabbath-School hymn in a gamb
ling den ! But while the young man
sang, the elder stopped dealing the
cards, stared at the singer a moment,
and throwing the cards on the floor,
exclaimed:
“Harry, where did you learn that
tune?”
“What time ?”
‘Why, the one you have been sing
ing-’
The young man said he did not
know what he had been singing, when
the elder repeated the words, with
tears in his eyes, and the young man
said he had learned them in a Sunday"
school in America.
Come, said the elder, getting up;
come; here’s what I’ve won from you;
go and use it for some good purposes.
As for me, as God sees me, I have
played my last game and drank my
last bottle. I have misled you, Harry,
and lam sorry. Give me your hand,
my boy and say that for old America’s
sake, if for no other reason, you will
quit the infernal business.
The writer says these two men left
the gambling house together, and
walked away arm-in-arm.
Tlie Wife.
Here is the best tribute to woman
we have ever read:
Only let a woman be sure she is pre
cious to her husband— not useful, not
valuable, not convenient simply, but
lovely and beloved; let her be the re
cipient of his polite and hearty atten
tions, let her feel that her cares and
lore is noticed, appreciated and return
ed, let. her opinion L*p asked and her
approval sought; and her judgment
be respected in matters of which she
iscoguizant; in short,let her only belov
ed, honored arid cherished, in fulfill
ment of the marriage vow, and she
will be to her husband, her children
and society a well spring of happiness.
She will bear pain, and toil and anxie
ty, for her husbands love to her is a
tower and fortress. Shielded and
sheltered therein, and adversity will
have lost its sting. She may suffer,
but sympathy will dull the edge of
sorrow. A house with love in in it—
and by love I mean love expressed in
words, and looks, and deeds, for I
have not one spark of faith in love
that never crops out —is to a house
without love, as a person to a machine;
one is life, the other a mechanism, the
unloved woman may have bread just
as light, a house just as tidy as the
other, but the latter has a spring of
beauty about her, a joyousneos, a pen
etrating and pervading brightness to
whieh the former is an eutire stranger.
The deep happiness of her heart shines
out in her face. She gleams over. It
is airy, and graceful, and warm and
welcoming with her presence; she is
full of devices and plots, and sweet
surprises for husband and family.—
She has never done with the romance
anil poetry of life. Sim herself is a
lyfic poem setting herself to all pure
and gracious melodies. Humble
house-hold ways and duties have for
her a golden significance. The prize
mkkes her calling high; and the eixl
sanctifies the means. “Love is Heav
en, and Heaven is love.” / [ 0

lasting out a The
voiceofaDonkey in Ilit*Church.
A preacher signing himself “Hann
communicates to the Froehliehe J>ot
schi/hr, a German Methodist journal
published in Dayton ,Ohio, the follow- ,
ing amusing story from his own expe
rience:
“Once I was a pastor in a congrega
tion in which there Vas a family who
owned a dog that used to run on three
legs only. Although the owner dislik
ed it exceedingly, the dog would ac
company him into church. In fact he
seemed to know instinctively when
Sunday had come, for early in the
morning he would get ready, at some
distance from the hous to go to
church with the family, and each timp
he managed to get in.
“One Sunday morning he was there,
as usual, promenading on his three
legs up and down the aisles of the
church, causing a good deal of disturb
ance to myself as well as to the con
gregation. Getting a little out of hu
mor, I said, somewhat angrily, 'Open
the door and drive out the dog, for I
believe the devil is in the dog, and
tries ro disturb the congregation.’—
The dog cast a sharp glance at me,
but decamped as soon as the door had
been opened—never to return.
“Alany times the attempt had been
previously made to expel the dog with
out success, but this casting out of the
dog-devil was a triumph.
“Now for another story. Out iu
the bush, where meeting houses are
not fenced in, congregations are fre
quently disturbed with cattle brows
ing in the neighborhood- Iu the sum
mer, they seek the shade of the house,
and in the Winter protection from the
cold winds.
JTO. IH.
“Now, it so happened that a
minister was preaching to a large and
attentive audience. 11 being verry
warm, the windows were open, and
outside a good many of those animal*
had congregated, whose peculiar voice
is familiar to all. One of them seem
ed to be particularly curious to see
what was going on inside, and would,
repeatedly look in at the window.
“This, as a matter of course, greatly
disturbed the congregation, especially
those sitting near the window. Bu&
when the worthy pastor solemnly ap
pealed to his auditors to heed the
words of the Gospel preached to them,
and, after pausing a little while, asked
them, ‘Well, my dear beloved friends
in Christ, do you believe in the Word
of God?’ one of the said animals
thrust his head in at the window, and
amid the solemn silence that hud suc
ceeded the words of the pastor, utter
ed twice a significant ee-uli, ee-ali!—
At first the whole congregation were
stupefied, but soon they all burst out
into loud laughter. And so the effect,,
of the Word of God I had
to them was gone —it had been de
stroyed by the donkey’s voice. We
believe that the devil makes use of va
rious means to earry out his plans and
to drive the Word of God from the
hearts of the people.
“This disturbance could haAe been
avoided had the people fenced in the
meetinghouse, and thereby put tip a
fence against the devil, which would
be good if it were done oftener.”
A country fellow went courting his
girl, and wishing to be conversational,
observed:
‘ The themoukron is twenty degrees
below zelen this evening.”
“Tes,” innocently replied the maiden,,
“such kinds of birds do fly higher
some seasons oi the year than others.”
Among the many laudable en
terprises being undertaken in our city,
we chrouicle none with more pleasure
than when we announce that Messrs.
Rondeau & Cos., Furniture Dealers,
are erecting a large factory of their
own for manufacturing the furniture
they sell. The firm are erecting their
factory on the corner of Butler and*,
Harris’ streets, and it will be run by
steam. Their building, which will be
very large, is to be filled with a large
lot of improved machinery, which is
already here. When completed, the
establishment will turn cut as good
furniture as there is in the South.
Such enterprise is commendable, and
deserves success. —Atlanta Svn.
